Chapter 721

Simultaneously.

In Honglu guest house, in the room of Tubo envoys, Shang Nang is also listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Great Minister, good news. Last night, three thousand Turkic generals joined forces with the barbarians in the emperor's forbidden army to attack Lijiazhuang at night!"

"Three thousand Turkic soldiers will attack Lijiazhuang at night?"

Hearing this, Shang Nang couldn't help being overjoyed, "What happened to the Emperor of Tang?"

"Back to Prime Minister, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty seems to be fine. He returned to Chang'an early this morning under the protection of the generals of the Tang Dynasty!"

A Turkic envoy hurriedly reported: "However, the 200 guards brought by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty seem to have come back with more than [-]. As for the servants in the palace, they suffered heavy casualties!"

"pity!"

Shang Nang sighed heavily.

"Where is the Great Tang King Jin?"

"Returning to Prime Minister, it seems that King Jin led a group of personal guards to rescue the emperor of Tang Dynasty yesterday!"

"What is the loss of King Jin's Li Family Village?"

"... Prime Minister, it seems that Jinwang Lijiazhuang did not suffer much loss. Last night, all the people around Lijiazhuang only heard the roar of thunder and fire in Lijiazhuang, and it seems that no villagers died in Jinwangzhuang, but dozens of farmers and guards were injured. !"

"How could this be?"

After listening, Shang Nang couldn't help frowning, his face full of doubts.

I really don't understand the situation in Lijiazhuang.

However, at night, after a Tubo envoy brought back a note from outside, Shang Nang 'finally' figured it out!
"Is what I said true?"

After Shang Nang read the handwriting on the note, he couldn't help being overjoyed and stared at the subordinate closely.

"Are you sure, that person is from Jin Wangzhuang?"

"Returning to Prime Minister, when that person handed this note to the villain, he showed the villain his fish talisman, and he is undoubtedly the personal guard of Prince Jin!"

The Tubo envoy quickly replied.

"Very good!"

Shang Nang was overjoyed, he couldn't help standing up excitedly, walked around the house a few times, and then he calmed down slowly.

Immediately, he looked at the subordinate again.

"How do I get in touch with the messenger?"

"Back to the Prime Minister, at Jinwang Tea House!"

The Tubo envoy quickly replied, "As long as I go to any Jinwang teahouse in Chang'an City and go up to the second floor, someone will naturally contact us!"

"wonderful!"

Shang Nang thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but praised excitedly.

"Who would have thought that the teahouses set up by the King of Jin in the downtown areas of Chang'an City, which were specially supplied to the powerful families of the Tang Dynasty, would be the place where King Jin's secret agents are located. This His Royal Highness King Jin is really wise. Say, there are no more secrets."

As he said that, Shang Nang told his confidantes: "I'll go to Jinwang Teahouse early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

……

The next day.

As soon as Chen Shi arrived, Shang Nang brought his two confidants to the teahouse in Dongshi.

Soon, Li Xuan, who had just woken up, received the news that the Tubo old hozen had brought his confidant to Dongshi teahouse for tea early in the morning.

After pondering for a while, Li Xuan took Zheng Fu and a few personal guards and sat in an ordinary carriage to Chang'an City.

There were no signs on the car, and Li Xuan and the others were all dressed in very ordinary clothes.

In addition, Li Xuan, Zheng Fu and others applied a little makeup on their faces. Anyone who was not familiar with Li Xuan would think that Li Xuan, Zheng Fu and others were just a group of simple merchants when they saw Li Xuan.

Even Shang Nang was taken aback when he saw Li Xuan sitting directly in front of him.

The expressions of the two confidantes on the side changed, and they directly protected Shang Nang's left and right sides.

"Why, Prime Minister Shang doesn't know me anymore?"

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

As early as after Shang Nang sat down, the people sitting on the tables around Shang Nang were all from Li Family Village.

Therefore, Li Xuan is not afraid of being heard by outsiders when he speaks like this.

"His Royal Highness King Jin..."

However, Shang Nang was shocked.

After recognizing Li Xuan, he quickly looked up and looked around.

I found out that all the 'tea drinkers' around were talking loudly, as if they didn't hear any sound, so I was relieved.

"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Jin Wang would come here in person, and still pretend like this, which really surprised the old man!"

"My king's time is limited, and Prime Minister Shang doesn't need to go around in circles with this king. This king came here this time to confirm whether what you said a few days ago is true?"

Li Xuan didn't want to go around in circles with this old hozen, so he asked directly.

Hearing this, Shang Nang's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of astonishment.

"What did His Highness say?"

"Humph!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, staring at Shang Nang closely, "Are you making circles with this king? Or do you think that this king came to look for you because he begged you?"

"It's just a Tubo hozen, I really don't know what it means!"

After finishing speaking, he got up directly and walked outside.

Seeing this, Shang Nang panicked.

He hurriedly got up and chased after him, but seeing so many tea guests around, he didn't dare to make any noise, so he had to follow closely behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, got into the carriage directly and asked Zheng Fu to drive back.

This time, Shang Nang really panicked, he didn't expect that the King Jin would be so straightforward, he didn't even give him a chance to explain.

However, this good opportunity is only once for him, if he misses it, not only will he regret it, but even the entire Tubo dignitaries will not forgive him!
Thinking about it, Shang Nang felt ruthless, kicked his feet on the ground, and when Zheng Fu was caught off guard, he quickly got into the carriage.

"Shut up!"

Startled, Zheng Fu stopped the carriage and stared angrily at Shang Bao inside the carriage.

"It's okay, go back to Lijiazhuang!"

Inside the car, Li Xuan glanced lightly at Shang Nang who was kneeling in front of him, and said to Zheng Fu outside the car.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu responded, and suddenly understood something, and went directly and quickly to the outside of Chang'an City.

Inside the car, Shang Nang breathed a sigh of relief, but he no longer dared to fight for the initiative, and still knelt on the ground with a respectful face.

"I also ask His Royal Highness Prince Jin to forgive me. The envoy is older and didn't realize what His Highness said just now, but I've figured it out now!"

"Humph!"

Li Xuan sneered, "This king has good intentions to discuss with you, but you put on airs to me. And when this king loses interest, you old hozen actually started to kneel in front of this king again. You're such a scumbag. Could it be you guys?" Are all the Turkic hozens so virtuous?
My Datang treated you calmly, and you began to show off your power, thinking about sending troops to plunder our Datang border all day long, and when my Datang wanted to make a decision to destroy your country, you immediately began to pretend grandson? "

"what?"

Hearing this, Shang Nang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at Li Xuan.

"Your Highness King Jin, Tang wants to destroy me, Tubo?"

"Why not destroy it?"

Li Xuan sneered, "Wa and Goguryeo, who dared to launch wars against us without authorization, have already been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty. And the small country of Tubo didn't stay on the plateau honestly, and dared to go down the mountain by itself, yes My Great Tang provoked a war without authorization, how could my Great Tang spare you Tubo?"
