Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Liu Zi and Jiang Ji looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

This scene was indeed what the prince said, and the hard-liners in Tubo were preparing to rob and kill the marriage team halfway.

This undermined the peace treaty between the two countries, but what they didn't expect was that the Turks would also participate.

"Lord Protector, the Tang Dynasty has currently deployed 70,000 troops in Yuanyou. Once the news of the murder of the marriage team spreads back, will it trigger retaliation from the Tang Dynasty?"

Hunji obviously didn't take Datang seriously. He waved his hand and took a sip of the highland barley wine.

"Don't worry, although the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses are powerful, they are not good at fighting in high mountain areas."

"As long as we kill all this marriage team, we can put the blame on the remnants of Tuyuhun."

"This way no one has any evidence to prove that we did it."

Liuzi suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and laughed loudly.

"As expected of Protector Hui, this move is really good. Come on, cheers!"

The three of them agreed on a date for the start, then toasted and drank.

It wasn't until the moon was at its peak that Liu Zi and Jiang Ji left the commander's tent.

"You go to the camp and keep an eye on them. Once Hunji and his two thousand men sense something is wrong, they will be wiped out immediately! I'll go see the prince."

After giving Jiang Ji some instructions, the six sons drunkenly walked towards the hay shed, only to find that no one was following them, and they disappeared into the night on their toes.

...

Tubo Stone House.

Under the dim candlelight, Fan Xin clasped one hand behind his back, holding a brush in his right hand and writing dragons and snakes on the folded paper.

Outside the window behind him, a tall figure appeared there.

"How are things going?" Fan Xin asked without looking back.

"Back to your lord, Hunji deployed 20,000 troops in Baiquan to get rid of you and Heqin's team, but they were all eradicated by the last general."

"In addition, I came to report that a group of 20,000 Turkic cavalry appeared 20 miles north of Woniu Mountain."

"Old Cao has led an army of 50,000 to ambush on the way to Baiquan City. At this moment, I think he should have wiped out the Turkic cavalry."

Throwing the brush on the table, Fan Xin read the contents of the distress note and smiled lightly.

"Send this envelope back to Shanzhou. It's time for Li Longji's methods to be exposed."

"I will obey your orders!"

The figure outside the window nodded and disappeared into the night, and with him was the final letter.

……

Boom!

In the quiet Shanzhou City, a thunder suddenly sounded, and then it started pouring rain.

Bean-like raindrops hit the oil paper window, making a rapid sound.

Yao Chong suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, breathing heavily, and glanced out the window with lingering fear.

Only then did I realize it was raining heavily outside.

"Phew, I was scared to death, it turned out to be a dream!"

Yao Chong smiled bitterly and was about to sit up from the bed and close the window.

A figure ran out of the rain, pushed open the door and knelt on one knee.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, King Yan urgently delivers, please read it quickly!"

"An urgent delivery from King Yan?"

Yao Chong frowned slightly and took the fold from the messenger's hand. He didn't know why he had a bad feeling in his heart.

The secret folding adopts the eight-hundred-mile expedited method, and two layers of fire paint are baked on the letter mouth.

Use a knife to cut the paint, and the contents on the fold will come out.

"Read it, Prime Minister Yao, when you receive this memorial, I will have been surrounded by Tibetan hardliners."

"Tens of thousands of troops have trapped us in Baiquan City. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long. We hope for quick rescue!"

Yao Chong sighed in his heart and sat down on the chair.

All of this was indeed what Fan Xin said, and the Tubo people really took action against the marriage team.

Without any time to hesitate, Yao Chong directly called the governor of the twelve states to the camp as the envoy of the Six Paths of the Western Regions.

And read Fan Xin's letter for help in front of everyone.

When they heard that the marriage team and King Yan were besieged by the Tubo people in Baiquan City, the officials present were shocked and angry, and they all said they would send troops to rescue.

Seeing that everyone unanimously agreed to go to the rescue, Yao Chong suddenly became confident and took action on the big case.

"Okay, since you all agree to save people, I will order the army to start immediately..."

"Wait a minute!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened, and a figure walked in from the outside.

This person was wearing a purple official robe, had a Chinese character face, and was holding a sword with a majestic expression.

Behind him were several generals of the Habayashi Guards.

Looking at the people who suddenly appeared, Yao Chong said with a serious expression.

"Who are you, who dare to break into the White Tiger Festival Hall without permission?"

The visitor smiled slightly and cupped his fists.

"My officer, General You Xiaowei, has joined the right defense envoy, and Duke Guo of Taiyuan County knows his luck!"

"Prime Minister Yao, take the order!"

Yao Chong's expression changed slightly, he walked out from behind the big case and bowed to inquire.

"Under my sect, the old fortune of the Tang Dynasty has been resurrected. If we want to restore the prosperous age, we can only reform the old and welcome it. Therefore, we appoint Guo Zhiyun as the second-grade Jiedushi, and fully take over the military and political power of Youyou..."

"Comprehensively take over the right military and political power..." Yao Chong stood there blankly, his head buzzing.

He never dreamed that the emperor would oust him by appointing additional military governors.

I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and suddenly.

"Yao Xiang, are you okay?" Guo Zhiyun's voice came to his ears.

After coming back to his senses, Yao Chong cheered up and forced a smile.

"The truth is that everything is fine."

"As long as it's okay, Mr. Ge is getting older and should pay more attention to rest. I'd better leave the military affairs of the right wing to this officer."

Guo Zhiyun smiled, sat down behind the big case, and looked at the governors with cold eyes.

"Listen, I am the military and political envoy appointed by Your Majesty personally. I am in charge of the military and political power of the twelve states of Shan, Qin, He, Wei, Lan, Lin, Wu, Tao, Min, Kuo, Die and Dan."

"No one is allowed to make decisions without my permission. Do you hear me?"

The twelve governors looked at each other, and finally the governor of Shanzhou stood up and asked.

"Jie Du Envoy, now King Yan and the Heqin team are trapped in Baiquan City and are in danger. I wonder if we should continue to send troops for reinforcements?"

"In danger?" Guo Zhiyun sneered: Have you seen with your own eyes that King Yan is in danger?

Shanzhou governor...

"Well, Tubo is a barren place, and there are always some thieves who are hostile to the Tang Dynasty. It is inevitable that some trouble will arise."

"We must believe in King Yan's ability, and remember that the troops stationed in Youyou are at risk for the entire Western Region of the Tang Dynasty. We must not use them rashly. Dismissal of the meeting!"

After Guo Zhiyun finished speaking, he left the commander's tent, leaving behind all the officials looking at each other.

"Xiang Yao, what should we do? King Yan and the princess are trapped in Baiquan. If they are not rescued as soon as possible, they may be in danger."

"Yeah, I really can't understand why the imperial court would send a military envoy here at this time..."

Facing the dissatisfaction of the officials, Yao Chong's expression changed again and again, and finally he snorted.

"Let's go, I will take you to find Guo Zhiyun and ask who will bear the responsibility if the marriage fails!"

"Jiedu Envoy, Prime Minister Yao and several governors are outside the mansion asking for an audience."

Inner office.

Guo Zhiyun sat in front of the desk and looked through the accounts in his hands.

These are the provisions and plans prepared by various states for marriage.

It can be used at any time in case of accident.

"Just say that I feel unwell after traveling a long distance, and I will naturally find them in a few days."

"Yes."

After the messenger soldier left the study, Marching Sima hesitated and asked.

"Envoy Guo Jiedu, Your Majesty just asked us to stick to the right side. He did not say that we would not allow rescue. If King Yan and Princess died in Baiquan, it would have an impact on us." "You don't understand Your Majesty very well." Guo Zhiyun Putting down the account book, he came to the window with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, I understand this person well. His true attitude is when he doesn't express any attitude."

"On the surface, King Yan's death in Baiquan is a loss for our Tang Dynasty. In fact, it is too late for Your Majesty to be happy."

Marching Sima was startled and puzzled.

"Why?"

"Of course it's because there's one less henchman!"

When Guo Zhiyun said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"When I came here, His Majesty once said that in order to resist foreign aggression, we must first pacify the domestic situation! The real enemy of the Tang Dynasty has never been Tibet, but the powerful generals in the country."

"Only by getting rid of the feudal kings like Fan Xin and others can we attack the Tubo Kingdom with peace of mind."

"So this time, we must use the help of the Tubo people to get rid of Fan Xin!"

Boom!

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky in the dark night, illuminating the dark study room.

At the same time, it also illuminated Guo Zhiyun's murderous and cold face.

...

Baiquan City.

"Come, His Majesty King Yan, I, the general, offer you a glass of highland barley wine!"

At the banquet, Gai Lixu raised his wine glass and gestured to Fan Xin with a smile.

After the two drank the wine, Hunji glanced around and said with a somewhat stiff tongue.

"Your Highness King Yan, since I received the marriage team, why haven't I seen the princess come out?"

"Can you invite her out for a drink so that we Tubo people can see the style of the Princess of the Tang Dynasty?"

After hearing these words, Gai Lixu also smiled and echoed.

"Yes, the princess is about to become a codun, just let us subjects take a look."

He was fully aware of the Tibetan people's intentions and did not criticize them.

Li Lang went to invite Her Royal Highness the Princess to come out and let the Tibetan ministers see her. "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Lang clasped his fists and left the hall. Not long after, he walked into the hall with Princess Jincheng wearing a gold jewelery crown and a tube top gauze skirt.

When everyone saw Princess Jincheng's exquisite face, they were all stunned, with a look of amazement in their eyes.

As we all know, Tubo has a high terrain, strong sunshine all year round, and a cold climate.

Therefore, most of the women have dark and rough skin. This is the first time they have seen a fair and smooth woman like Princess Jincheng.

Gary's preface is nothing, just feel happy for Chidezuzan.

But Hunji is different. He is a young man with wolf-blooded blood.

The moment he saw Princess Jincheng, his whole heart was agitated, and he wanted to press her under him and tear her skirt apart.

Seeing this man's expression, Fan Xin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said with a smile.

"You two, this is my Royal Highness Princess Jincheng of the Tang Dynasty."

The two people who came to their senses quickly stood up and put their right hands on their chests.

"The Vice Prime Minister of Tubo has a preface, and the Protector Hunji meets Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Tang Dynasty."

Princess Jincheng glanced at Fan Xin and saw that the latter nodded towards him, then she mustered up the courage to speak.

"You two don't need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The two of them straightened up, and Gai Lixu was about to exchange greetings about the friendship between the two countries, but Hunji came to Princess Jincheng first with a wine glass in hand.

"Your Highness the Princess is really good-looking. Come, I'll give you a toast." She drank it all in one gulp.

Finally, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Your Highness, it's your turn."

No one in the hall expected Hunji to be so abrupt, and the noise gradually became quiet.

Just when Jin Chenggong was hesitating, one hand took the wine glass from her hand.

King Yan, you? "

"Leave this place to me and you go back first." Fan Xin smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and said to Hunji.

"Your Highness doesn't know how to drink. I drank this glass of wine for her."

Looking at the departing Qianying, Hunji's teeth itched with hatred.

I had no choice but to sit back down unwillingly and found that Gai Lixu and Fan Xin were having a deep conversation.

He rolled his eyes, left the hall with an excuse, and sneaked towards the princess's boudoir alone.

Hunji has lived here all year round, so he is very familiar with the terrain here.

After bypassing the guard, a person came to the window on the back wall of the boudoir.

Through the oil window paper, I could vaguely see a beautiful figure sitting in a steaming bucket, splashing water on herself.

"Hehe, you are about to die anyway, so let me feel refreshed first."

Hunji glanced around, secretly opened the window and climbed out, tiptoeing closer to the tub.

As the figure behind the gauze curtain got closer and closer, his heart began to beat wildly.

at last.

After some groping he came to the back of the tub.

Then he pounced like a hungry prairie wolf.

"Baby, just obey..."

"Hey, why are the princess's feet so smelly?" Hunji looked up from the bucket in surprise.

However, when he saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of him, his heart suddenly became cold.

A man with a pockmarked face was ogling him.

"General Hui, you actually said that my feet smell..."

Bang!

Throwing the dead pig-like Hunji on the ground, Zhang Huan rinsed his feet with water and told several maids.

"It's time to start!"

Several maids looked at each other and suddenly rushed out of the room and shouted.

"It's not good, come here quickly, someone molested the princess!"

As the sound got louder and louder, it soon spread to the hall.

Fan Xin drank his wine and said to the guard with an unhappy look on his face.

"What's so noisy?"

"Back to the prince, someone sneaked into the princess's boudoir with the intention of molesting her, but was caught by his subordinates."

"What, this happened!"

Fan Xin slapped the table, stood up suddenly and walked towards the princess's boudoir.

Gai Lixu hesitated and followed.

When the two came to the princess's boudoir, they saw that the place was in a mess, with several maids hiding at the door and crying.

And there was a rough, big man lying on the ground, his hands tied.

"Hunji, it's you!"

Gai Lixu was shocked when he saw that the thief who intended to molest the princess was Hunji.

He never expected that this guy would be so bold.

Fan Xin's face was gloomy and he said coldly.

"Deputy Prime Minister, is this what you Tubo people do?"

Sensing the anger in Fan Xin's words, Gai Lixu's expression changed slightly and he said with a look of shame.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Prince Yan. I didn't expect Hunji to do such a thing."

"Don't worry, the truth will be reported to the Queen Mother Chimalun immediately, so that the court will severely punish Hunji and give you an explanation to the Tang Dynasty!"
