Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 137: Fighting to Chang'an and seizing the bird position
The Princess of the Tang Dynasty will never play tricks with you, and Li Qingqing has a new experience.

Li Qing felt that he had lost at least two kilograms in the past two days.

Before setting off this time, Li Qing received a special mission.The requirement is also very simple, that is, start from Fengxiang and walk to the station of Anxi Army.

Li Qing originally didn't want to go on his own, but after Naihe completed this task, he would open up the troop deployment authority to 2 people.

So now the three of them are heading west along the Silk Road, towards Kucha City.

For safety reasons, Li Qing suggested bringing Li Shimin's exclusive Gundam - Yuchi Gong, which is why the three of them went together.

After all, the golden combination of Li Shimin and Yu Chigong is relatively reliable. One is a shooter and the other is in the face. It can be said to be a perfect match.

Li Shimin didn't have any objection to having his legs crossed. Originally, he was the emperor immediately. According to his conscience, it was much more difficult to conquer the world back then than it is now.

Let's just remember the bitterness and remember the sweetness, not to mention it's not that bitter now, after all, there is a pergola built by Li Qing for him on his camel.

The same goes for Li Qing. He sat on the camel, staring ahead and letting out giggles from time to time.

Li Shimin, who was standing next to him, finally couldn't help it anymore: "Brother Xian, what's wrong with you?"

Li Qing looked ahead in a daze: "Hehehehe...hehehe..."

Li Shimin took a deep breath...

Forget it, I’m not as knowledgeable as my wise brother.

Why did this good and wise brother suddenly become a fool?

Li Shimin and Yu Chigong looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

To be honest, Li Qing actually regrets it now. Wouldn't it be better to hold his sister at home for the holidays, instead of having to suffer in such a desert?What's more, riding a camel...

He could feel the passion and unrestrainedness of the Princess of the Tang Dynasty from a distance, especially this woman who was called the first princess of the Tang Dynasty.

While reminiscing, he rubbed his waist, still hiccupping and giggling like a fool.

Of course he wouldn't tell Li Shimin why. Could it be possible that he could still say that your sister is too enthusiastic?I, Li Qing, am really a little overwhelmed?
But from now on, this title really needs to be changed. You call me brother-in-law, and I call you Brother Li... Isn't that okay?

Fortunately, it is approaching winter and it is not too hot.Apart from the harsh sun, there is nothing major wrong with it.

"Brother Li, is it hot?" Li Qing asked, sitting on the camel and pulling his neck.

"It's not bad." Li Shimin shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "With Brother Xian's pergola and this goose feather fan, it won't be too hot..."

As he said that, he looked down at the camel and said, "I'm just afraid that the camel feels hot."

"Don't worry, Brother Li, even if you're too hot to die, this camel can handle it." Li Qing teased with a smile.

"Where's Jingde, are you hot?" Li Qing looked at Yuchigong again. Scientifically speaking, black color absorbs heat. He was a little worried that Yuchigong's skin color was not suitable for walking in the desert.

"Hey, where are you?" Yuchi Gong laughed and said, "Don't worry, King Qin, I'm very hot!"

Well, there's nothing wrong with that. After all, the people in Africa have similar skin color to him.

About evening time, a wisp of smoke appeared in the distance.Li Shimin pointed in the direction of the smoke and said: "Brother, there are still people living in this deserted beach. Why don't you and I rest there for one night and set off again tomorrow?"

"Good idea." Li Qing was tired after walking for a day, and the camel was a bit of a pain in the butt.

It's not that he's squeamish, it's mainly because he hasn't ridden a camel much, and his butt really can't stand it - after all, he's still squeamish.

As we walked closer, we saw an inn with a Hu style feel.When the waiter saw the three people coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet them and asked enthusiastically: "Please come in, please. The shop has fine wine and freshly slaughtered mutton. What do you want to eat?"

Li Qing put his luggage on the table and made a popping sound: "Fill up the water for us, feed the camels outside well, and bring ten kilograms of mutton and three jars of wine. Don't worry, we will be short of a kilogram." "

"It depends on what the guest officer said." The waiter's face was a little slumped, but he immediately changed into a smile after hearing Li Qing order the wine and meat, but he asked hesitantly: "Ten pounds of mutton, can you three finish it?" ?”

As he said that, he looked at Li Shimin and Li Qing in front of him with some suspicion. They looked so thin... It would be difficult to eat five kilograms, let alone ten kilograms of mutton?
Then he saw Yu Chigong get off the camel, and when he saw his strong figure, he immediately said: "Ten pounds of mutton, right? You three, wait a moment, and you'll be here soon!"

With Yu Chigong's body type, the waiter estimated that ordering ten pounds of mutton for these three people was a bit conservative.

After waiting for a while, the waiter came out of the back kitchen with wine and meat and placed it on the table in front of the three of them.

Li Shimin was really hungry, so he didn't care so much. He grabbed a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth without even dipping it in the sauce.

"What are you flirting with!" he said to the waiter vaguely.

He thought that the mutton cooked in such a remote restaurant in the Western Region would not taste very good, but he never expected that it was beyond his expectation.

Unexpectedly, when he heard his words, the waiter was stunned and asked tentatively: "Looking at the accent, are you from Guanzhong?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Li Shimin replied with a smile.

The waiter immediately smiled: "Are those three from Chang'an?"

"Ah." Li Qing nodded.

There were not many people in the store. After hearing this affirmative answer, the waiter came closer and asked with envy: "Well, what is Chang'an like? Can you tell me about it?"

"Chang'an, Chang'an is very big, so big that you can't imagine it." Li Qing smiled and described to the waiter: "The Zhuque Street in Chang'an alone is enough for twenty or thirty horses to walk side by side, let alone people. I'm afraid, there are more people in Chang'an than you have ever seen in your life."

"Then... with so many people, life in Chang'an City is not crowded?" The waiter asked with a longing look on his face: "If we open such an inn in Chang'an City, how much money will it make..."

"Hahaha... Because Chang'an City is wide enough to accommodate so many people, it is not crowded." Li Shimin replied with a smile.

The waiter sighed, and then said: "I have been to Shazhou City before. I don't know what the difference is between Chang'an and Shazhou." "Hahaha... If it can be split, I'm afraid Chang'an City can be split." More than ten Shazhou came out." The guests at the table next to him laughed and said.

"It's so big..." The waiter was taken aback, then felt dejected: "It's a pity that I was born in Shazhou and have never been to Chang'an. I've always heard people say that Chang'an is prosperous, but I've never seen it with my own eyes. Let me remember it. Since then, this area has been occupied by Tubo."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the store, except for sighs.

Since the fall of the northwest states, the Tang people have been enslaved by Tubo. The soldiers and people of the states are looking forward to the return of the king's army every day to drive the Tibetans back to the states.

"Brother, since you are from Chang'an..." The guests at the next table clasped their fists at Li Shimin and Li Qing: "I wonder if you are still thinking about me in Chang'an?"

"Hey, what do you remember?" The guest at the other table sighed: "If the imperial court had the ability to regain the Western Regions, why would we be enslaved by the Tubo people? In the second year of Zhenyuan, the naval governor of Zhenyuan wrote a letter asking him to attack the Tubo. However, the rest of the Jiedu were afraid that their strength would be weakened and refused to contribute at all. Dozens of states across the two rivers were looking forward to Master Wang day and night, but Master Wang... Alas!"

"Who says it's not? Look at me, I'm neither human nor ghost, damn it." The guest at the next table sighed: "The Tubo Fanzi forced us and other Han people to wear Tubo clothes, only on the first day of the first lunar month every year I was only allowed to wait for the Han people to wear Han clothes to worship their ancestors, and after the worship, they had to take off their clothes and hide them for use in the coming year!"

"Look at my hair? Brother, did you think I was a barbarian just now?" A guest at another table pointed at his head and said to Li Shimin: "But I am a Han. In order to enslave us, those Tubo fans forced me to The Han people braid their hair, and if anyone refuses to do so, they will force their hair to be braided... Alas!"

"When will the imperial court send troops to restore our Han family's land and mountains, and restore our Han family's clothes?" The guest at the next table knocked on the table with his hands and sighed sadly.

Li Shimin's eyes were red. If these people had been assimilated by Tubo, it would be nothing.But the survivors of the Tang Dynasty shed tears in the dust for decades. They looked forward to Master Wang year after year, but were disappointed year after year.Apart from being sad, he also regretted not bringing Li Zhi and Li Longji over.

*Grief value from Li Shimin +5000
Let the two of them see what causes they have sown and what fruits they have reaped.

If Tuyuhun was still here, how could Tubo be so powerful?If Li Longji had not caused such an Anshi Rebellion, how could the Anshi Beiting have been taken advantage of by Tubo thieves because of its lack of defense?

Yuchi Gong, a man as tall as a black iron tower, couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard this. He ate two more kilograms of mutton with tears in his eyes.

"Stop talking, stop talking, drink!" The guest at the next table raised his wine bowl and loudly recited Du Fu's Spring Hope.

To be honest, the current situation is not entirely to blame for the current emperor Dezong Li Shi. After all, it's not that he doesn't want to regain Anxi, but that he can't.

The internal strife of Jiedushi and Tubo's harassment of the southwest day after day had exhausted his energy and left him no time to care.

On the second day, before the three of them left, the waiter specially packed some more cakes and water bags for them to use on the road.

"We are all from the Tang Dynasty, so you don't need to thank me!"

The younger brother stood at the door of the inn and waved goodbye to the two of them.

This time on the road, the three of them were not in the same mood as yesterday. Instead, they sat on the camels with heavy faces and were silent for a long time.

"Good brother." Li Shimin didn't say a word until noon.

"What's wrong?" Li Qing had a pancake in his mouth.

"Originally, I thought that I had taken it lightly in the past two years. As I said to you the day before yesterday, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't be a horse or a cow for your children and grandchildren." Li Shimin said and sighed: "But today, I finally understand. Well, this reorganization of the country is not only for the Tang Dynasty, but also for the soldiers and people who care about our country."

"As long as I think about the subjects of the Tang Dynasty being enslaved by Tubo, I feel uncomfortable." Li Shimin looked up to the sky and sighed.

"It's not just you, I feel uncomfortable too." Li Qing stretched out his hand to rub the hump in front of him: "What can I do if I feel uncomfortable? Let's go."

"Let's go to Chang'an." Li Shimin sat up and said, "Brother, I have figured it out. I cannot ignore millions of people just because of my personal mood."

"It's too late to go now. Let's take care of the immediate matters first." Li Qing spread his hands: "Even if you go to Chang'an, Li Shi may not recognize you as an ancestor. It's better to deal with the loyal ministers first." Search for it, then fight to Chang'an and seize the bird position..."

He said it so smoothly that he almost turned Li Shi into a bald man.

Oh no, this time it’s not Li Qing, but Black Tornado Li Kui.

"What King Qin said is very consistent with what I, Lao Hei, want!" Yuchi Gong was the first to praise.As the most loyal of Li Shimin's horses, he absolutely supports Lao Li.

"He dares not to admit it!" Li Shimin said with great arrogance: "I will beat him with big-eared melon seeds!"

"Yes, yes, you are happy when an archer shoots the three of us into hedgehogs?" Li Qing looked at Li Shimin with disdain: "Are you just kidding with your buddy's life?"

Just when Li Shimin was about to speak, he saw Yu Chigong suddenly became alert. He immediately asked: "Jingde, what's wrong?"

Yuchi Gong stretched out his hand and made a sign of silence. He looked around carefully, and after a while, he pointed to the right front and said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be a cry of killing over there."

"Let's go and take a look." Li Shimin mobilized the camel and walked in the direction pointed by Yu Chigong.

After walking for almost 300 meters, the three of them climbed over a sand dune and saw a Tang Army-looking team surrounding the center of the valley ahead. Each of them held a long gun and surrounded a bunch of seemingly heavy vehicles, pointing like hedgehogs. The surrounding Tubo people were beating their horses and shouting wildly around them, occasionally shooting at them with bows and arrows.

Fortunately, this Tang army was fully armored, so bows and arrows could not cause much damage to them for the time being. However, the purpose of the Tubo people was obviously not to kill them with arrows, but to consume their energy and spirit, and wait until they were tired before rushing to kill them.

"Are these our Tang army?" Li Shimin couldn't help but frown and asked: "Didn't it mean that the entire Anxi Protectorate has fallen? Why is there still such a small Tang army?"

"They are indeed the Tang Army." Li Qing said firmly, "It seems that they should be people affiliated with the Anxi Protectorate."

"Brother, where is my bow?" Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but reach out to Li Qingyi.

Since it was Tang Jun, he had no reason to stand idly by.Time waits for no one. If you have any questions, wait until you defeat these Tibetan wolf cubs.

Li Qing immediately released their horses and thoughtfully prepared armor and horses for Yu Chigong.

"Thank you, King Qin, but I, Lao Hei, don't need this!" Yuchi Gong laughed and took off his shirt instead of picking up the armor, revealing a pair of knotted black muscles.

Wearing armor on a hot day is not comfortable, so it is better to be naked, which is not hot and can be used more effectively.

He raised his horse, got on his horse, and said boldly to Li Shimin: "Hahahaha... Your Majesty, are these few Tibetan brats enough for us to kill!"

"Whether it's enough or not, let's kill him first!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, leaping on his horse and holding a bow, and drove away in the direction of Tubo.
