The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 653
Red lotus root fragrant and residual jade in autumn.Loosen Luo Chang lightly and board the Lanzhou alone.Who is sending brocade books in the cloud?When the wild goose is back, the moon is full of the west building.

The flowers flow by themselves.One kind of lovesickness, two sorrows.There is no way to get rid of this feeling, so I lower my brows, but my heart.

——"One Cut Plum·Red Lotus Root Fragrance Residual Jade Mat Autumn" by Li Qingzhao
……

Bai Fu's expression changed, he respectfully invited the princess to take a seat, ordered his attendants to bring tea, and said: "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly and in detail."

……

It turned out that when Princess Ningguo was about to leave for the Tang Dynasty, Dengli Khan (Yaoluoge Yidijian) received a letter from the Tang prince Li Chu, hoping that Huihe would send troops and go south to Yanmen Pass to relieve the rebels and Bohai County. State, Khitan and other coalition forces.

Dengli Khan (Yaoluoge Yidijian) called Huihetler (Duke) Guchu and General Dide to discuss the matter.

Teller Gu Chuan said to Dengli Khan: "Because of Shi Siming's rebellion, the Tang Dynasty fell into the quagmire of civil strife.

If you accept the request of Tang Prince Li Chu and participate in the siege of Yanmen Pass, it will be equivalent to fighting against the Bohai County, Khitan and other coalition forces on behalf of the Tang army.

Before Datang did not clearly give compensation for signing in, the price would be too high and it would not be the best policy.

However, it would be a pity not to take the opportunity to make a fortune if the tiger fell into the plains.

Why not use the excuse of escorting Princess Ningguo back to the Tang Dynasty to send elite cavalry to the south and station troops in the Baideng Mountain area of ​​Yunzhou to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight:
First, if the rebel coalition forces capture Yanmen Pass, our army can take advantage of the gap and follow the rebels southward.

At this time, the flames of war raged to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and Datang was at stake.We can open our mouths like a lion.

Once the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty meets our requirements and is willing to pay a high reward, our cavalry can join forces with Li Guangbi who is stationed in Heyang to attack the north and south to encircle and suppress the rebels.

Second, if the Tang army at Yanmenguan wipes out the rebel coalition forces, our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue the remnants of the coalition forces, and bring the grasslands of Khitan, Xi, and Bohai counties into our Huihe territory.

Of course, it would be best if the coalition forces of the Tang army and the rebels would lose both at Yanmen Pass and lose their strength.At that time, our army can divide into two groups and expand the territory of the Huihe Khanate to the east and south. "

Dengli Khan stroked his beard and nodded frequently without saying a word.

General Di De saw that Dengli Khan still did not express his opinion, rolled his eyes, and said with a sinister smile: "Chang'an and Luoyang are the most prosperous and prosperous places in the world. After taking over Chang'an, Prince Ge Luozhi was too kind. It's a pity not to enter.

This time escorting Princess Ningguo to the south, we can do it cheaply, and once we have an opportunity, we might as well make a fortune.

You must know that women from the Tang Dynasty are all fair-skinned and beautiful, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, knowing and interesting, and they are the best in the boudoir..."

General Di De spoke happily.When Dengli Khan heard the words, his lust was agitated, and his beard trembled wildly.

He laughed loudly, patted General Di De on the shoulder heavily, and said: "Just do as you want. If you can find a peerless beauty for me, I will make you Teller, reward ten thousand cattle and sheep, slaves Thousands of people!".

Teller Gushui felt contempt for the two of them, and secretly said: "For the Great Khan, the expansion of the territory is not worth a beauty?"

……

Let's go back to Princess Qingluan. Ever since she had a long talk with Crown Princess Dugu Xiao, Princess Qingluan has made up her mind to vigorously pursue her own happiness.

Once this thought came out, it was unstoppable.

Princess Qingluan inquired and found out that Bai Fu was appointed as the envoy of the Northwest Court of Anbei Camp and stationed in Shanzhou.So he planned secretly, planning to secretly go to Shanzhou to meet Bai Fu behind his father's back.

Princess Qingluan remained calm and packed her bags in private, ready to go out.

On this day, the children of the royal family met to go hunting in Zhongnan Mountain.Princess Qingluan was overjoyed, and after leaving a letter to Suzong, she took the opportunity to sneak out of Chang'an with two personal maids, Yuan Xiaoer and Xiao Lantern, and left Suzong without saying goodbye.

The three of them dressed up as men and traveled eastward.

It was the first time for Princess Qingluan to act independently from the royal family, and she had no experience in traveling the world.I suffered a lot along the way.As soon as they arrived in Tongguan, the three of them were cheated out of all their silver and had no food or clothing.

Fortunately, Princess Qingluan is extremely intelligent and skilled in martial arts, and she also has the token of the Sichuan Gang presented by Bai Fu.After being taken care of by the Sichuan Gang, the three regained money and food supplies, and under the guidance of the Sichuan Gang's disciples, they made the trip smoothly.

After arriving in Shanzhou, the three of them inquired, only to find out that the Anbei Court camp was secretly transferred by order, and no one knew Bai Fu's whereabouts.

Princess Qingluan felt lost, so she could only stay in Shanzhou to inquire about the news.

After staying in Shanzhou for a while, the disciples of the Sichuan Gang sent news: Bai Fu wiped out [-] cavalry in Bohai at Bailang Mountain.Only then did Princess Qingluan know that Bai Fu left the fortress from Yanmen Pass, and now he is stationed in the north of Youji Prefecture.

The days of being unaccompanied and treacherously wandering made Princess Qingluan miss Bai Fu even more, and her blood was surging in her chest.

Princess Qingluan is obsessed with it, and can't wait for Bai Fu's class teacher to return triumphantly.Gritting his teeth, he decided to go out from Yanmen Pass and search for relatives thousands of miles away.

Immediately after the war, the Yanmen Pass was very strict.With great difficulty, the three of them tricked the guards, sneaked out of Yanmen Pass, and escaped from the fortress in a thrilling manner.

"Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields.

The sky is gray and wild.When the wind blows the grass, the cattle and sheep are low. "

……

On the grassland beyond the Great Wall, the sky is as clear as washing, vast and boundless, with long grass and warblers flying.Princess Qingluan was in a particularly happy mood, riding the horse and whip, galloping happily.

After galloping for two days, Princess Qingluan was dumbfounded.Facing the vast grassland, the three lost their way.

The two personal maids, Yuan Xiaoer and Little Lantern, wept anxiously.Princess Qingluan was still calm. She rode her horse up a hill and saw smoke billowing in the distance and dozens of white tents camping in a large pasture. go.

When they got to the outskirts of the camp, Princess Qingluan kept an eye out and didn't rush in easily, but probed from afar.The little lantern had sharp eyes and found that there was a Datang flag in the camp!
Only then did the three feel relieved, and slowly approached the tent.

When they arrived at the gate of the camp, after inquiring about it, they found out that this was the Luanjia that escorted Princess Ningguo of the Tang Dynasty back to Chang'an, and was taking a rest in Mayi.

Princess Qingluan was overjoyed, and quickly ordered the gatekeepers of the camp to report.

After layers of notifications, the two princesses finally met.

Meet relatives in another country.

The two princesses with golden branches and jade leaves hugged each other and cried, as if they had passed away.

You know, back then when Huihe Vijaque Khan asked to marry Princess Qingluan by name, it was Princess Ningguo who couldn't bear it and risked her life to marry Princess Qingluan in order to avoid a disaster.

Seeing Princess Ningguo's peerless face destroyed by the knife marks, Princess Qingluan felt ashamed and felt extremely sorry for the imperial sister.

Princess Ningguo asked Qingluan to stay in the Mayi camp for two days, and after finding out Bai Fu's exact location, she sent Tang Jun soldiers to escort Princess Qingluan out.

However, Huihe secret spies have been spying on the side.The whereabouts of Princess Qingluan were quickly discovered by General Di De.He led the elite to forcibly break into Princess Ningguo's residence, and ordered people to put Princess Qingluan under house arrest.At the same time, the flying pigeons passed on the good news to Dengli Khan who was hundreds of miles away.

Although Dengli Khan is far away in the northern part of Saibei, he has heard of Princess Qingluan's reputation for a long time.He was overjoyed and led his army to the south, trying to forcefully marry Princess Qingluan by frightening Tang Dynasty.

After learning of Dengli Khan's despicable intentions, Princess Ningguo was in a hurry, and hurriedly reported it to Suzong with a pigeon letter.However, there were dozens of pigeon letters in a row, but there was no response from the court.

At a loss, Princess Ningguo received a secret letter from Crown Princess Dugu Xiaozhong.

Dugu Xiaozhong told that although Suzong wanted to save Princess Qingluan, most officials in the court were afraid of Huihe, and worried that forcibly putting pressure on Huihe would provoke Dengli Khan.So all the courtiers were "sincerely seeking the country" and became turtles.There are even many people who hope to sacrifice Princess Qingluan in exchange for a long-term alliance with Huihe.

Among them, Xuanzong and Prince Li Chu were included!

Although Suzong was furious, he couldn't help himself in the face of the dilemma between Jiangshan and his beloved daughter.In desperation, he had an attitude of letting things go.

……

Princess Ningguo's hand trembling with the letter, trembling with anger, not only angry, but also chilling.

She could predict the reaction of the court officials.After all, Princess Qingluan is not related to them, so why not sacrifice the emperor's daughter to keep her family's glory and wealth?
Back then, wasn't he like this, forced to make a marriage, and marry the old Huihe Vijaque Khan?
It is also understandable for the emperor's grandfather to do this. For the sake of the throne, he can even part with Yang Yuhuan, the concubine and empress whom he keeps saying he loves most.

But the emperor and the crown prince also have the same attitude, which makes people feel chilling.

After all, they are the real father and brother of Princess Qingluan, they are connected by blood, how could they do such a cold-blooded thing?

Princess Ningguo held back her grief and temper, and read the letter.

The last few words of Mixin light up the darkness ahead: "

Looking around the world, only General Bai Fu can save Princess Qingluan from fire and water.General Bai is currently in Youji, waiting for an opportunity to besiege Fan Yang.

The concubine is not talented, and she is willing to do everything possible to get General Bai back to Beijing.On his way back to Beijing, General Bai must pass through Yanmen Pass. Her Royal Highness can wait here.

When you see General Bai, please tell him the details as soon as possible. He is unparalleled in wisdom and will definitely have a good plan to save Princess Qingluan from danger! "

After burning the secret letter, Princess Ningguo stood in the open space outside the tent, looking up at the starry sky, kneeling for a long time, silently praying for God's blessing.

"Bai Fu, Bai Fu, my Qingluan's life is all in your hands."

A meteor streaked across the sky, scorching the sky with blazing heat...
