Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 87: Long time no see, Changle!

Speaking of this, Princess Changle forced a smile, her eyes always staring at the hanging chain, and her right hand was gently stroking it, and continued: "When you have free time, little Sizi, you noisy fool, I will put you down while you are sleeping. On the small bed next to you, then sit next to the queen, watch you together, and help the queen give you medicine."

"The Queen Mother looked a little sentimental that day. She looked at the ceiling and said quietly, what if she never gets up again?"

"I said, that's bad. My father will find me a young, beautiful, rich and kind-hearted second wife. Don't worry, my mother-in-law will not drag us down."

"The queen mother laughed, and she, who was always gentle, said fiercely, How dare you, father! Then, she took the peeled apple from me, looked at me, and both of them laughed."

"Then, you grew up and became cuter. Everything was so beautiful, but then...then, it changed."

"Last year, our family did something terrible and sent your second brother to...a place he shouldn't have gone..."

"Right now, the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil and locusts are everywhere. Maybe God is punishing our family."

"But I believe that my father can always solve all this."

Princess Changle said with great devotion.

He couldn't help but laugh.

However, Xiao Sizi was very unhappy.

She puffed up her cheeks and said in disbelief: "Sister, you are talking nonsense. Sizi is very well-behaved. How could he cause his mother to fall and make her have to lie in bed? Are you lying to Sizi?"

As he spoke, tears welled up in the corners of Xiao Sizi's eyes.

Princess Changle was so frightened that she immediately realized that what she had just said was too selfless and distracted, and she had forgotten some things that she should not have said.

She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiao Sizi's eyes and said with a smile: "Xiao Sizi, my sister is wrong. You are the little idiot who my mother and my sister love the most. How could you harm your mother?"

"But... But... But Si Zi caused the queen to fall down... Did she hate Si Zi at that time?"

Xiao Sizi sniffled, and this time she really cried, but she didn't know how to solve her mistake.

Princess Changle once again wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiao Sizi's eyes and said softly: "Xiao Sizi, it's nothing, my mother will never blame you."

After saying that, Princess Changle lowered her head and kissed Xiao Sizi's little head.

"Sister, the same is true."

"Woo...Woo..." After hearing this, Xiao Sizi gradually stopped crying and kept sobbing.

Princess Changle hugged her and kept comforting the little guy not to cry.

After a long time, Xiao Sizi felt a little better and changed the subject: "Well, sister, you just said that the second brother went to a place he shouldn't have gone to. Where is that place? Why didn't you tell Sizi."

Princess Changle's tone paused, she thought for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "He will come back."

"Damn it, Si Zi is so angry. Sister answered the question wrongly!"

"Don't you think, little Sizi, that your second brother will come back? Even if he is in the enemy's country..."

"I will come back! I will for sure! Nothing in the world can trouble Second Brother, he is invincible! Second Brother, he is invincible in the world!"

"That's it. So, our brother, don't ask. Your second brother will definitely come back to see you."

"But...but..."

"Nothing but sleep."

Little Sizi still wanted to say something, but Princess Changle had already stood up to extinguish the candle. This made the little guy who was afraid of the dark stop asking questions and kept grabbing Princess Changle into her arms.

And Princess Changle also hugged her tightly and hugged her hard...
holding….
Last night of hugs.

………………………….
Silent night.

But Changsun Mansion was not calm.

Changsun Wuji still refused to give up, thinking about how to appease Yanguo, so that his daughter-in-law, who he said had been married for almost a year and was about to bear fruit, would not have to go to Yanguo.

Next to him was Changsun Chong, whose face was full of astonishment.

He had just learned about the matter, and he couldn't believe that his wife Changle, whom he had always thought was within his reach, was about to slip away from his fingertips.

Changsun Chong said in shock: "Dad, so, sister Changle is leaving Datang?"

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he said impatiently: "Where is sister Changle? If you don't think of a way, your wife will be gone!"

"Idiot, think quickly! Think quickly!"

he urged.

This… this is true….
Changsun Chong held his head, his face full of pain.

That Yan country!

That damn Yan Kingdom, damn it, why did they agree to a marriage! !
It’s just a marriage, why!Why must it be his Changle! !

Changsun Chong's eyes were filled with rage, and he wished he could eat the flesh of the people from the Yan Kingdom and break their bones.

"Changle is mine, she is mine."

"I...I will definitely be able to think of a way to break this situation!"

In anger, Changsun Chong's eyes looked like he was losing his mind, and he kept mumbling. But when he said that he could find a way, his eyes became full of hope again.

If you can do it yourself, you can definitely do it!
He cheered inwardly.

Can….
It's easier said than done.

The old ministers of the Prince of Qin, who were used to the ups and downs of the southern and northern wars, gathered together to discuss and the only result was a marriage.

And as a young person, how could he outsmart them?

at the same time.

in the palace.

It was Queen Changsun's turn to shed tears.

"Your Majesty, is there really nothing we can do about this situation?"

Her eyes were red and she looked like she had been crying for a long time.

Li Shimin looked at the queen who seemed to have aged by more than ten years in a short period of time. Tears welled up in his eyes after crying just at noon: "I... I can't help it..."

The voice was full of helplessness and powerlessness.

These things obviously happened because of him, and he did something wrong.

Can….
But Changle has to foot the bill.

In Li Shimin's heart, he only felt pain as sharp as a bone.

"Your Majesty, she... she is still so young and has not left Chang'an City yet. She... she is going... to go to the Demon Cave in Yan Kingdom."

"Chang Le her, her life is so miserable..."

The more Empress Changsun spoke, the more she collapsed, and the more tears came to her eyes.

Li Shimin felt very uncomfortable, his eyes were moist, and he stepped forward to comfort Empress Changsun.

this night.

Many people are not at peace.

Some people think that it is better for Princess Changle to leave early, so that the foreign invasion of the Tang Dynasty can be temporarily stabilized.

Some people feel deeply powerless and painful. A country's peace is actually going to last forever, and she, a woman, is here to support it...
Some people also think that General Tiance of the Tang Dynasty seems not to be the emperor. He seems not to be recognized by God...
…………………….
The next day.

Before going to court in the morning, Li Shimin privately gathered the old officials of the Qin Palace and asked them if they had found any other solution after a day.

The crowd was silent.

Even Changsun Wuji, who least wanted Princess Changle to go to the Yan Kingdom, was silent.

in this way.

It is also enough to confirm that letting Princess Changle marry her in exchange for peace is a matter of course.

So in the court, Li Shimin loudly announced his marriage to the Yan Kingdom, and chose his eldest daughter, Princess Changle, as his eldest daughter.

As soon as these words came out, the court was shaken.

There are many officials who are not from the Qin Palace, so it is the first time for them to hear the news.

Li Shimin was famous for protecting the calf.

She is also a daughter slave!
Such a person actually... wants to send his eldest daughter to get married, which can't help but make people sigh.

There were also court officials who looked at Changsun Wuji cautiously. They knew that Changsun Wuji had been talking about getting married, but when they looked at it, they saw that Changsun Wuji's face was ashen and uglier than anything else!

Ending early.

There was a lot of content in the morning meeting this day, including fighting locusts, continuing to speed up the purchase of court-style Quyuan plows for the people, and many other small policies.

The most important one is the marriage of Princess Changle.

This kind of thing can be said to be at the national level.

more than anything else!

The same is true for future generations. When you open primary school history textbooks or even history books, the words about marriage are always very heavy, such as Princess Yicheng's marriage, Zhaojun's departure from the fortress, etc. This is because it represents the national policy, friendship and other relationships between the two countries. .

It's so important!
So that afternoon, when Princess Changle was leaving, all the civil and military officials from the imperial court came to see her off.

On this trip, Princess Changle only brought a few guards, a maid, and some clothes.

Originally, Princess Changle did not want to bring guards, because Yanguo was recognized as a devil's cave, and she did not want...someone to continue passing there...
But this was Li Shimin's insistence, and Princess Changle couldn't persuade him, so she had no choice but to comply.

Princess Changle will travel to Youzhou this afternoon. Tomorrow, there will be an army in Chang'an City to escort the things Yan Kingdom needs and go to Youzhou to hand them over to Yan Kingdom's envoys.

Once the iron and other materials requested by Princess Changle and Yan Guo are available, the two countries can sign a contract.

"Father, I have to leave."

In front of the carriage, Princess Changle said her final farewell.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with tears, and he forced a smile stiffly: "Yes."

"The desert environment is no better than our Tang Dynasty. When you get there, remember to wear more clothes."

Princess Changle smiled and said: "Okay, you should also remember to take care of yourself and supervise your mother's health. Her health is getting worse and worse. I am not here, so I can't supervise her. I can only leave it to you."

Li Shimin was still so sad and nodded mechanically: "Well, my father will work hard together for your sake."

"You can work hard, but please don't work too hard, father. Remember to balance work with rest. Remember..."

Princess Changle wanted to give instructions, but the maid interrupted: "Your Highness, the time has come, we should leave."

She did not have the guts to interrupt the conversation between the emperor and his daughter, but the time had indeed arrived, and the ancients valued good times and auspicious days the most, and this kind of marriage matter was even more important.

Princess Changle nodded: "Okay!"

Then, she waved goodbye to Li Shimin: "Father, I'm leaving. Goodbye."

if you can….
She added another sentence in her mind.

Li Shimin also waved her off and saw his daughter getting on the carriage and slowly driving out of the imperial city. At this moment, he couldn't hold it back any longer. Tears welled up and he pressed his heart in pain. The tears fell like... rain...

And not long after Princess Changle left, Xiao Sizi, who had been hidden from everyone, was happily catching butterflies with the guards, but at this moment, the jade pendant in his hand broke.

Xiao Sizi stopped.

The jade pendant was given to her by her elder sister. Why did it break when she obviously didn't do anything?

She felt very strange, and at the same time, she felt empty in her heart. She had this feeling once half a year ago, and since then she has never seen her second brother again.

"It's impossible. My sister has been in the imperial city. How could I not see her?"

Xiao Sizi shook his little head, thinking that he was just thinking nonsense.

She planned to go to Princess Changle later to discuss how to repair the jade pendant.

She also wants to find Princess Changle.

Yes!

She still wants to find...
She could not have imagined that, perhaps due to the concealment and excuses of those adults, she would never have thought that the sister who loved her the most in the world would never be seen again.

She wouldn't have thought of it, no way...
Just like the departure of King Chu, the two are so similar.

………………………….
Hurry up.

After more than ten days of journey, Princess Changle finally arrived at the Youzhou Pass.

The envoy from Yan Kingdom has been living here for nearly half a month.

They didn't dare to neglect him, after all... Behind him stood Yan Country, the victorious country.

"Are you Princess Changle?"

In Youzhou Mansion, the envoy from Yan Kingdom bowed to Princess Changle and asked.

Princess Changle couldn't help but look at the person in front of her.

Legend has it that the people of the Yan Kingdom were more barbaric than the Turks.

He is an out-and-out savage.

But in front of me...
But he is a very pure Han Chinese, and he is also humble and polite, as gentle as jade.

She couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then smiled and said: "That's it, my little girl, I don't know, Mr. Messenger?"

The man smiled slightly and said, "Xin Qiji."

Princess Changle nodded: "Mr. Naxin, I believe your country has completed the inventory of the iron, paper and other materials your country needs yesterday, and my little girl is here now."

"Then let's sign a contract?"

There are many details about the contract between Yan State and Datang. After all, it is at the national level, but in the end it can be summed up in one sentence: Yan State is the victor, Datang is defeated, and the two countries will not invade each other from now on!
"Yes, this is what my Highness wants."

Xin Qiji nodded.

Then he and Princess Changle walked into a luxuriously decorated house, and signed a contract in the presence of many officials of the Tang Dynasty, including Yuchi Jingde, Chai Shao and others.

During the whole process, Yuchi Jingde and Chai Shao looked unwilling.

They are the generals of the Tang Dynasty, responsible for the main battle, but... now they want to negotiate peace, how can they be willing to do so?

Therefore, the whole process was done reluctantly.

The contract is signed and concluded.

Yuchi Jingde said angrily: "This contract has been signed. When will the soldiers of our Tang Dynasty who were captured by you return?"

Xin Qiji smiled slightly and said, "We will let you go once I and my people are sure we can return to Yan Country safely."

Although the contract is signed, the contract that can bring Yan Guo back is... the real contract.

If Zhong Yaojin and others were released at this time, and Datang unilaterally detained or killed them, how could Yan Guo know about the contract?

Although this situation is rare, it is important to be on guard against others.

Yuchi Jingde said angrily: "Can't you speed up?"

The voice fell.

Before Xin Qiji could reply, a civil servant next to him said, "General Yuchi, the Yan Kingdom is a victorious country, and we should have a better attitude."

Then he looked at Xin Qiji, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xin, please don't care about General Yuchi's attitude. This is just how he is and cannot be changed."

Xin Qiji nodded and smiled: "Xin, I can see it."

A brief conversation, a brief end.

But this scene made Princess Changle murmur in her heart. This person from the Yan Kingdom seemed... different from the rumors.

One side raises one person.

This envoy from the Yan Kingdom, regardless of etiquette or other aspects, has the demeanor that a big country should have. This Yan Kingdom must not be much different, right?

correct!

According to what his father said, there must be a superpower standing behind Yan Guo. It is estimated that Xin Qiji came from that big country.

Princess Changle's eyes were bright, feeling that she had found the "truth".

With the signing of the agreement, Princess Changle was expelled from the Tang Dynasty and she completely belonged to the Yan Kingdom.

In order to avoid an incident, Xin Qiji led an envoy of more than 200 people and left with Princess Changle in the afternoon.

As for the items paid by the Tang Dynasty, there will be caravans escorting them to the Yan Kingdom.

Xin Qiji's main task was to return the contract, and Princess Changle was only there in passing.

Even.

When the Yan Kingdom was negotiating a contract with the Tang Dynasty, King Chu didn't even think about making peace, but only wanted things. It was the Tang Dynasty that unilaterally believed that his Yan Kingdom had the support of a superpower and needed to use a peace marriage to stabilize it.

They think too much...
The fact is that Tang Dynasty needs to recuperate and so does Yanguo.

The Yan Kingdom only had one city, and it had just captured Yanyun City in winter to establish the country. The city alone was completely ruined, so how could it still be able to attack the Tang Dynasty?

And even if they fight, how can a mere [-] soldiers and horses pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty?
After all, it is the Tang Dynasty. I think too much...
Because of the fear in his heart, he sent Princess Changle here in vain.

"Da da da…."

In the afternoon of that day, Xin Qiji and his party left the Youzhou Checkpoint.

City Wall Captain Chi Jingde watched them go, his eyes were scarlet, and he beat the city wall with his fist angrily: "Shame! Disgrace in this life!"

"I, Yuchi Jingde, must repay me in the future!!"

He spoke with foam flying from his mouth.

If the Tang Dynasty were to go to war with the Yan Kingdom again, they would be filled with rage and drive him... to take the lead.

………………………….
Youzhou Checkpoint is far away from Yan Kingdom, and at the speed of Xin Qiji and others, it will take about ten days to arrive.

And they didn't dare to relax on the road. After leaving the border of the Tang Dynasty, many roads were in the no-no zone, and there were people from all countries.

The envoy brought by Xin Qiji this time totaled 200 people, including one hundred Wei soldiers and one hundred self-defense troops.

Originally, they were supposed to bring all the Wei soldiers, but most of the self-defense troops were from Youzhou, and they knew this land better, so they brought them over.

On the march, Xin Qiji separated 100 men one mile away to guard the four sides. If there was any situation, the news would be sent back to him immediately, so that he, who was in charge of the central army, could make appropriate judgments.

There are only a few of them, and their first priority is to return to Yan Country safely.

For example, if the enemy comes from the east, you can retreat to the west, and the same goes for other directions.

Never fight until necessary!
The journey was calm and safe, just like when we came to Youzhou.

However, on the fourth day, some scouts ran back in a panic.

"Mr. Xin, something big...is bad!"

"A group of cavalry has gathered in front! They are Goguryeo's cavalry, with a clear goal, directed at our army!"

When Xin Qiji heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Just as he was about to speak, another scout came back.

"Mr. Xin, there is a group of cavalry coming towards us on the left. They are from Goguryeo, and their number is nearly a thousand!"

The voice fell.

At this time, the two centurions beside Xin Qiji, a centurion of the Self-Defense Army and a centurion of the Wei soldiers, all stared wide-eyed.

"How could this be? Goguryeo is targeting us?"

"We were terrified all the way, how could we be targeted."

They were puzzled.

However, soon, scouts from the other two directions also sent back information.

They are surrounded.

Yes...ambushed on all sides!

Four directions, nearly a thousand Goguryeo cavalry in each direction, a total of four thousand.

Although the envoy had a hundred Wei warriors, they were not heavily armored and were no different from ordinary people.

Four thousand armed cavalry, against their two hundred civilian soldiers, is enough to crush them head-on!
Xin Qiji's heart also sank. He knew that what he was most worried about had happened.I just didn't expect it. I thought it was the Turks who would set up an ambush, but it turned out to be Goguryeo.

This is an unimagined result.

He didn't know why Goguryeo was like this today, and he didn't want to know, it wasn't important.

He only knew that he had the mission to return the contract to Yan Country, and he also had the responsibility to protect as many soldiers as possible.

Princess Changle in the carriage was trembling in her heart at this moment.

She knew that they only had 200 people, how could they deal with four thousand cavalry?

Moreover, it is still an encirclement situation, which will become smaller and smaller, with nowhere to retreat and nowhere to escape.

And if they were eliminated, what would the Yan Kingdom... think?
Do you think Datang did it?

Continue to ignite the flames of war?

Not impossible.

In this way, her sacrifice became a joke.

"What should we do..."

Xin Qiji and others were anxious, but she was more anxious than them.

She is not afraid of death, but is afraid that her death will be meaningless and will not bring any benefit to Datang.

She represents the peace between the two countries, and she has such an important task, which is so heavy that she can hardly breathe during this period.

"go!"

At this moment, Xin Qiji lowered his voice and said.

His eyes remained calm, as if everything that happened in front of him was expected, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

Princess Changle, the Centurion of the Wei soldiers, the Centurion of the Self-Defense Force, and others were also determined, and the expressions on their faces were not as panicked as before...
Although many self-defense soldiers were still a little uneasy and their bodies were shaking slightly, they still clenched their weapons.

The group of people came to a relatively secret hiding place.

"This…."

Many people didn't understand what this meant, and Princess Changle even frowned.

Although this place is hidden, it has no strategic value and cannot bring any benefit to the defender.

And as the group of Goguryeo cavalry surrounded them, more than 200 people wanted to hide without being discovered and escape disaster. This was simply unrealistic!
"rustle…."

Just when Princess Changle and many other people were wondering, they saw the figure in white walking out with the Centurion, a military soldier from Wei.

Although the centurion of the Self-Defense Army didn't know what Xin Qiji wanted to do, he followed him instinctively.

"Protect the contract, protect Princess Tang, and go to see His Highness."

A hoarse and low voice sounded.

The Centurion of the Self-Defense Forces was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stopped, and was still a little confused: "Mr. Xin?"

Xin Qiji stopped and turned around, his always melancholy face full of solemnity.

"Goguryeo cavalry, I will divert all Wei soldiers away. You watch the time and take the opportunity to escape."

The centurion of the Self-Defense Army stared wide-eyed: "Mr. Xin, no!"

Xin Qiji said in a deep voice: "This is the best way at the moment."

"And in the last battle of the Yan Kingdom, your self-defense forces made too many sacrifices, and it was your sacrifice that made the Tang army relax."

"This time, it's me who will protect you..."

The centurion of the Self-Defense Army was slightly stunned, his eyes became moist: "Mr. Xin..."

"Stay alive and go see His Highness."

His voice was unmistakable.

These light words made most people in the venue feel hot in their eyes and feel their noses sore.

Stay alive and go see His Highness….
Such simple words.

But everyone also knew that for this group of hundreds of Wei soldiers who were preparing to break off the rear, they were originally infantry, and they did not have heavy armor at the moment. To deal with four thousand armed cavalry, life was a luxury.

Thinking back to Wei Wu's declaration.

"The mission has been issued, and we will move forward without hesitation! Wherever the king goes, life and death will follow him!"

They seem to have done it, so they are moving forward...
This is a charge towards death.

"Mr. Xin, you... let me go..."

"Without me, it won't affect the overall situation..."

The Centurion of the Self-Defense Forces still wanted to follow.

Xin Qiji paused and didn't reply, just shook his head slightly.

Then he said: "You have a more important mission. Send Huan Huan and Princess Tang back to the Yan Kingdom, and stay alive... please."

In the end, he couldn't help but whisper.

please!
How much helplessness and sadness are contained in these three words, how could the Centurion of the Self-Defense Force and others not hear it?

That back figure, those back figures, those figures of about a hundred people, became more and more desolate and lonely, which made people cry!

"drive!"

Following Xin Qiji's loud shout, he rode forward.

Behind him, hundreds of people followed.

They are not good at horse fighting, and some of them have just learned how to ride horses, but they are willing to follow those at the front and go... to die.

Yes.

Go to death….
They went to die without any hesitation, because although they went to despair, they left hope for those behind them.

A glimmer of… hope of escape.

Under the hazy moonlight, those back figures looked small but majestic, fading away...
There were tears in the eyes of the centurion of the Self-Defense Army, and his breathing became heavy. He raised his head and looked at the night sky, which finally turned into a long sigh.

He is not a soldier who became a monk halfway. He used to be a member of the Youzhou Cavalry Army. He followed Governor Chai and experienced hundreds of battles. However, during the Youzhou Incident, he was captured by the Turks and was rescued by the King of Chu. Only then did he swear to join the Yan Kingdom. .

Having spent most of his life in military warfare, he thought that he was already used to seeing this kind of scene.

Parting between life and death is nothing!
But I don't know why, every time I face it, I can't suppress the sadness in my heart.

Princess Changle behind her also had eyes twinkling.

She saw it.

This is a fearless army...
No wonder the Tang Dynasty was defeated...
That….
Princess Changle looked up at the sky, looking at the bright moonlight, and said to herself: "Master of the Yan Kingdom, what kind of person are you?"

"It's worthy of their following and following..."

………………………….
It was more than ten days after Xin Qiji died.

Yanguo, Yanyun City.

More than a month has passed since the war. The infrastructure construction mode has started here. Buildings are rising in the inner city every day, and new things are born. Life is getting better step by step.

The eyes of the people in the inner city are also filled with luster, and they are looking forward to the future!
Also, the desire of how that man will lead them to higher realms in the future!
They were full of hope, but the more than 20 former Yanyun City residents in the outer city were full of despair.

These Han people, including Yang Kuan, are sucking their blood step by step and cannibalizing them step by step. By now, they have almost cannibalized them.

They who were once so superior that they could enslave the Han people have completely...become slaves of those Han people.

In the past, Han slaves were driven by superiors, and they didn't think anything of it. But until they became slaves, they didn't know how life was worse than death.

But it's useless for them to know. The people in the inner city, including the man who rules them, never care about this.

Those people only suck blood like crazy, crazy slaves….
Until their lives burn out...
Some people are desperate for this kind of life and will commit suicide.

Although some people are desperate, they will live on and continue to be enslaved by the people in the inner city.

Who can help me!
This is the voice of most living people in outer cities.

now.

The inner city of Yanyun City.

"Oh!"

General Baihu smashed the cup in his hand and said angrily: "I searched again, but I couldn't find Xin Qiji and the others at all. There was no news about them during this period. I kept looking, but Xin Qiji and the others were nowhere to be seen. Where have they gone?"

"Could it be that he was really killed or detained by Yuchi Jingde and others?"

Speaking of this, his eyes were blood red.

If this matter is true, he wants Cheng Yaojin and other Tang soldiers to be captured and paid with blood!
Chen Qingzhi thought for a while and said, "General Baihu, listen to your majesty and wait a few more days."

Having said that, he didn't have any hope in his heart.

Those people from the Tang Dynasty finally...revealed their votes...
There was anger in him too.

In fact, they got information about the disappearance of the voice of Xin Qiji's envoy, and they also got information on the border of Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty.

In the past few days, Yan Guo has been receiving letters from Datang, saying that they have nothing to do with the disappearance of Xin Qiji's envoy. They have been trying their best to find it, sparing no effort to find it. I believe there will be news soon to reassure Yan Guo.

The content of so many letters is almost the same.

Can….
How to put people at ease!

People were lost in the Tang Dynasty. Who would believe what the Tang Dynasty said?
The same is true for Chen Qingzhi and General Baihu. Although the two sometimes disagreed, they all agreed that this incident was done by Datang, who detained or killed Xin Qiji and others.

"Wait a minute, I can't wait any longer. I will reorganize the army first. When the time comes in three days, I will kill those prisoners and let the Tang Dynasty know that I, the Yan Kingdom, will also retaliate with an eye for an eye!"

General Baihu made a move to leave.

But just then, a scout walked in, breathing heavily, obviously running for a long time.

"Bai...General Baihu, General Chen, they are back!"

General Baihu's eyes widened, he grabbed his shoulders and asked, "Who? Who's back!"

Their hearts are waiting for that answer, the answer they want.

"It's the envoy! They're back!"

The scout shouted.

General Baihu laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, take me there quickly. I want to see what happened. They didn't give any news on the way!"

Chen Qingzhi on the side did not speak, but his frowning brows relaxed a lot.

The scout nodded and said, "General White Tiger, please come down with your subordinates."

"However, I would like to tell you that the situation is somewhat different from what you think..."

General Baihu was stunned: "The situation is different? Everyone is back, so why is the situation different?"

"This... I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. Why don't the general go with his subordinates to have a look?"

General Bai Hu's excitement was mostly poured cold water on him. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, take me there quickly!"

He couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it.

Anyway….
It will be good when people come back.

Arrived at the scene.

General White Tiger talked to the returning Self-Defense Army soldiers one by one, then looked at the scout and asked seriously: "Why haven't you seen Xin Qiji and the others?"

The scout sighed and said, "General White Tiger, the only ones who came back were a hundred self-defense troops, contracts, and Her Royal Highness Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty."

"Mr. Xin and his one hundred Wei soldiers were stopped halfway by..."

Then, the scout told General Baihu about the Goguryeo cavalry.

"Oh!"

General Baihu slapped the city wall and said angrily: "These damn Goguryeo people, my country, Yan, didn't go to them to cause trouble, but instead they made trouble for me, the country of Yan!"

Goguryeo was many times larger than Yanguo in terms of territory and soldiers.

But in General Baihu's mind, Goguryeo was nothing!Our own country, Yan, is the most powerful!
Madness!No one in sight!
Yes, he has always been like this, never changed.

"You, quickly take the contract and His Highness Changle to see His Majesty!"

General Baihu gave the order.

When the scout heard this, he was slightly stunned: "General White Tiger, didn't His Majesty ask you to do this? Did General White Tiger forget? I would like to remind you that as soon as the envoy comes back, His Majesty asked you to take..."

In the middle of speaking, General Baihu interrupted directly.

"The general knows, but there are more important things now. The general wants to use the memories of our returned Self-Defense Army soldiers to take him to the place where Xin Qiji disappeared to find out the truth."

"So I leave those things to you. Don't let me down, General."

When the scout heard this, he was extremely helpless.

here we go again….
And disobedient….
He didn't know what to say, and he didn't dare to say anything. After all, he was just a soldier, how could he talk about the general.

"General White Tiger, subordinates, take orders!"

He returned with a cupped hand.

"Ah."

General White Tiger nodded and turned around to walk back to his White Tiger Camp. However, when he turned around, he saw someone he shouldn't have seen.

That was a figure dressed in red.

Gorgeous.

Like a fairy in the sky.

It is so out of the mud but not stained.

However, at this moment, the woman was extremely shocked.

"General White Tiger, why are you here?"

Princess Changle was stunned.

She never expected that she would see her second brother's subordinate, General White Tiger, here.

This way.

Regarding Yanguo, my memory was slightly improved, but what I saw and heard on the road was shocking.

There are slaves everywhere and cries everywhere. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yanyun City is a purgatory on earth.

I guess...that Xin Qiji really came from the superpower behind Yan Kingdom.

She thought so much.

In fact, what Princess Changle saw along the way was the slave life of the people in the outer city, so naturally no one cared.

And because she saw all the purgatory along the way, Princess Changle did not dare to look any further and lowered the carriage curtain and turned a deaf ear. This also caused her to miss seeing the lives of the people in the inner city.

"Haha, Your Highness Changle, I, Pei Xingjian, never thought that Admiral Tiance would take the initiative to send you here."

General Baihu's tone was full of sarcasm towards the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he continued: "Yes, I can't imagine it. I can never imagine what Admiral Tiance is thinking."

"More than half a year ago, he sent my Highness here, and half a year later, he also sent you here. Is there any family affection in his eyes?"

"Will he send Li Tai here next time? Even His Highness Xiao Sizi will be sent to the enemy country?"

When it comes to Li Tai, General Baihu shows no respect at all.

But when it comes to Xiao Sizi, he is extremely respectful.

This is not because he was impressed by Xiao Sizi's charm, but because Xiao Sizi is His Highness's sister. Although she has the same father and mother, she is better than a close relative by blood. She is a true sister. This has been the case from birth to the present.

"You! You shouldn't talk about my father like that!"

Princess Changle's eyes were filled with warmth and anger: "My father has his own reasons for doing this."

General Baihu said indifferently: "Yes, in your eyes, everything he does is right."

"I can't convince you, Your Highness Changle. I have something to do and I'm leaving. Your Highness Changle, let's talk about it when we have time."

Princess Changle heard this and said quickly: "Wait!"

She called General White Tiger to stop, pursed her red lips, and hesitated to speak.

After a long while, he asked seriously: "Can I ask again?"

"What?" General Baihu was stunned.

"Why are you in Yan Country and working with Yan Country?"

Princess Changle said seriously.

General Baihu was stunned, then laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, I thought it was something, but it turned out to be this."

"Your Highness Changle, you will know the answer to this matter later. I believe you will definitely not believe it..."

General Baihu was unusually shy and turned around to leave without waiting for Princess Changle's answer.

He had more important things to do, to find... Xin Qiji and the others.

Princess Changle stared blankly at General White Tiger leaving, unable to return to her senses for a long time.

It wasn't until the scouts nearby called her several times that she realized what she was doing and bowed to express her apology.

As a high-ranking scout, she shouldn't do this even in an enemy country, but she would always apologize for neglecting others.

Extremely gentle.

This is true regardless of the Yan Kingdom or the Tang Dynasty.

As the scouts headed towards Yanyun Palace, Princess Changle could not help but marvel at the structure of Yanyun Palace, which was not inferior to that of the Chang'an City Palace.

And she had stopped to look at it on the way. Many places in Yanyun Palace were newly built!

Recalling that Yang Kuancai took charge of Yanyun City more than half a year ago, Princess Changle couldn't help but smile and shake her head. She started to build her own palace as soon as she took office. This place... all shows the level of luxury of the owner of the place.

Comparing it to the human purgatory I saw when I came here, it was like people from two worlds.

In fact, they are indeed two worlds, but these two worlds are too far apart!Unlike her father, Li Shimin came to be closer to the people.

Princess Changle lamented.

My future man is actually such a... ridiculous person.

She couldn't help but think about her bleak life in the future.

Or maybe….
The fate of every princess who goes to another country to be married is like this...
With a feeling of loss, Princess Changle followed the scout deeper into Yanyun Palace.

But when she stepped here, she felt something was wrong.

There are many familiar things in the palace!

It's something familiar from the Chang'an City Palace in the past!
"This, how could this be?"

Princess Changle was extremely surprised.

If they weren't from the Li Tang royal family, they wouldn't display these things at all!
Just like the position of the Sanqing Taoist, it is like worshiping ancestors. The position is very particular and cannot be moved or moved.

Only people from the Li Tang royal family knew.

There are many, many more, all of which are the same.

How did Yang Kuan, the leader of the Yan Kingdom, behave like this!

Isn't he a descendant of Yang Guang and a clan member of the Yang family?How could he be familiar with the arrangement of things in the royal family of Li Tang!

Princess Changle was extremely surprised.

At this moment, the sound of steady footsteps came, followed by a sound that shouldn't have appeared, so magnetic that it reached Princess Changle's ears.

"Chang Le, long time no see."
