ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 448 "The Messenger Returns"

Li Yue, who was sitting dignifiedly on the handsome seat, saw the old man coming, and didn't even give him a chance to catch his breath. Huhu asked: "Old Li, didn't you say that the king of Tubo promised to let me take the exam? Why? But suddenly struck for no reason?"

As soon as "this" stood firm, he was confronted with such a sharp question.Li Yong, who was speechless, clasped his fists and bowed back, "It's true what the king of Tubo told the veteran, but why did he attack suddenly? The veteran really doesn't know."

"Humph" Li Yue, who is full of lies, is dissatisfied with the answer and glared at the white-haired Li Yong who was standing below, betting on his chest, and ordered calmly without anger: "Since Mr. Li doesn't know , then wronged Mr. Li again, and help the prince to ask why the king of Tubo backed down. "

"Yes yes yes" Li Yong bowed repeatedly in panic, swallowed, raised his old face cautiously, and asked the master above in fear: "I wonder how the Seventh Prince's proposal to the Tubo King went? "

"Now is not the time to test this. This time you go, just ask him why he suddenly attacked my camp, and the rest will be put aside for the time being." Test filter?Hmph, thinking he is about to become the king of a country, why should he kneel at the feet of others.

Careful Li Yong glanced at the seventh prince with a bad face, and dared not say any more: "The old minister is going now."

"The mountains are rugged and difficult to walk, Mr. Li, please go all the way." The sarcasm in the words is very strong.

Li Yong couldn't hear it, but as a subordinate, he didn't dare to talk back. After bowing weakly again, he dragged his old body and ran away.

On the bank of the Red River, that was originally Lao Qi's camp, after the soldiers cleaned up the mess all over the ground, they settled down in the company camp.

After collecting all the prisoners stationed in Hongshan, tomorrow boldly crossed the river to transport all the horses' grain and grass. In the lively and festive third camp, everyone ate breakfast with relish and smiled happily.

Located in the Tubo king's camp in the middle camp, the military flag is fluttering, and the soldiers are still patrolling in an orderly manner.Unlike other battalions, the soldiers in this battalion neither cheered nor jumped for joy, so they still did what they should do.His third child beat the seventh child, and their Tubo soldiers didn't even lift their little fingers, so what's the excitement?
Ah Zhen, who said he wanted to have breakfast here, put down the corners of his mouth, drank the delicious fish soup porridge, and from time to time threatened the four plates of side dishes next to the porridge.The camp was peaceful and peaceful.

With delicious porridge in his mouth, Ah Zhen calmly asked the two people sitting below: "Father, Duan Tai, what are you going to do later?"

The same person had a big bowl of fresh porridge, but the two of them were missing four servings of side dishes. Seeing him ask a question.With Daerba as the leader, he got up and said: "It's nothing wrong." At most, he just wandered around the camp, picked out some problems, pulled Qianhu and Bingzong to the front and yelled a few times, and panicked in idleness.

Ah Zhen, who was eating porridge, heard them say nothing happened, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival."

Daerba, who was also homesick for a while, asked, "Does the king miss the queen?"

"Not only the queen, but also all the princesses." Every festive season, I miss my relatives a lot.

"Your Majesty wants to go back?" They just came, and Li Chao hasn't fallen into his hands yet, so it's not good to go back like this.

Shaking his head, the chuckling Ah Zhen put down his spoon and chopsticks, looked at the two people in front of him for a while, then smiled and said: "Since you are all fine, why don't you go out for a walk with the dog?"

"Walking the dog?" The two stunned couldn't make out a sound, so then, what's there to do with the dog?

"Yes, walk the dog." Nodding with a smile, his eyes were extremely sinister, "I heard that Lao Qi is camped on the plain five miles in front of Hanoi."

Duan Tai, who was a little clear, asked softly: "Does the king want us to investigate?"

"There's no need to investigate. It's good to walk the dog around. Look at the mountains, rivers, and flowers. It's rare to come to Li Dynasty, so let's enjoy the beautiful scenery around us."

After all, it was still a matter of walking the dog, and the two stunned couldn't catch up with his head, and their minds got stuck for a while, and they looked at each other and looked at each other.

Knowing him well, Daerba didn't think the matter was so simple, so he asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what do you want your servant to do, just tell me."

"It's just walking the dog." Ah Zhen, who didn't want to say anything, put on a straight face, and ordered to the two: "Now I order the two of you to set off every morning, walk the dog around on foot, and return in the evening, and those who violate it will be punished."

Confused, the two of them heard the order and dared not take advantage of it. They stood up together and clasped their fists together to promise: "Your servant will obey the order."

"Okay." As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, the autumn tiger will come.As soon as autumn comes, it rains heavily.Hanoi is located in the lower reaches of the Red River and is low-lying.Lao Qi was afraid of being burned, so he set up his camp on a low basin instead of on the edge of a lush mountain. It is a wise man who must make a mistake. Just this mistake is enough to make him think about it for a lifetime.

After receiving the order, Daerba and Duantai, two old faces, sat back to their seats and continued to eat porridge.

"My lord, there are no dogs in our camp? There are no market towns here, so there must be dogs for walking dogs. How can we walk without dogs?"
Ah Zhen, who was removing the shrimp shells, raised his handsome eyebrows, and said to the two in a daze, "See if there are any wild dogs in the mountain, and send someone to catch two."

"Walking the wild dog?" The staggering two felt a lot of pressure. The wild dog would not be tamed for ten and a half months. How could it be possible to go for a walk with them as soon as they were caught?
"Okay." Ah Zhen, who also felt that it was wrong, took the next best thing and said: "You go around first, see if there is anyone there, and buy two back."

"What if the people don't sell it?"

"borrow."

"Don't borrow it?"

"Grab." With narrowed eyes, he cautiously said: "Don't hurt people, do you know?"

"This" for a while, the two of them suddenly became worried as if they had drunk a bitter medicine.If someone steals something from someone, they will definitely resist, and if they resist, friction will definitely occur, and if there is a motorcycle friction, they will definitely hurt people.They still knelt on the ground and begged the people to borrow a dog.

Seeing the two old faces wrinkled together, he compromised with a sigh, "Okay, just don't kill anyone. Remember to give them some money."

As his words fell, the two old faces that were tightly wrinkled together were relieved.This is more or less the same, they can't order the generals of one party to kneel down to the poor people who eat mud in the Li Dynasty, can they bear it?

After breakfast, Daerba and Duan Tai were ordered to walk the dog.

Ah Zhen, who was sitting alone in the king's tent, sat leisurely on the throne drinking fragrant tea and waiting patiently.

Soon, before he finished a cup of tea, a tent guard came in and knelt down: "My lord, Li Yue sent an envoy, do you want to meet him?"

With two handsome eyebrows curved like willow leaves, Ah Zhen, who put down his teacup, was in a happy mood, and he really came.

"See."

"Yes."

As soon as the tent guards went out, Li Yong's old figure hurried in. His old eyes looked at the Tubo King sitting in front of him, and he bowed ninety degrees in fear and said, "Foreigner Li Yong, I have seen the king of Tubo."

"It turned out to be Messenger Li." Ah Zhen, pretending to be surprised, stood up and asked hypocritically: "Messenger Li, don't do this, please sit down quickly."

"Thank you Tubo King." Li Yong was very surprised. No matter how you look at it, the Tubo King is a humble king, and he treats people politely and generously.

After slowly sitting down, the soldiers brought tea.

The hypocritical Ah Zhen smiled at the corner of his mouth, walked up to the old man, and asked with concern: "Message Li hasn't had breakfast yet." After saying that, before he could open his mouth, he immediately shouted at the tent guard: "Come on, come here!" Messenger Li set up breakfast."

The flattered Li Yong couldn't afford such a big gift. Although he was already hungry and ate his small intestines, he stood up in horror and said, "King of Tubo, the foreign ministers have used it before, so there is no need to do so."

"Emissary Li is too polite, let's chat while eating." He patted his old shoulders with a smile and complained: "Old Qi is really, why didn't you send a strong man, but you insisted on crossing the mountains. The mountain road It's rough, and it's dangerous to slip or fall."

The elderly Li Yong heard that he was wronged for him, and was moved beyond measure for a moment. With his old eyes, he wept and said: "The king of Tubo is broken, and the foreign ministers dare not, and the foreign ministers are terrified."

The tent guard in charge came in with a bowl of hot fish porridge, and the table in front of Li Yong quickly retreated.

Ah Zhen, who knew the old man was moved, patted him on the shoulder hypocritically and said: "Okay, let's chat while eating. You can't be hungry when you are old."

Smelling the scent wafting from the front, Li Yong felt even hungrier, and thanked him with fists together: "Thank you, King Tubo, for the meal."

"Hmm." Happily turned around and walked back to his throne, raised a faint smile, and Ah Zhen, who was sitting quietly, held the tea and stopped sipping lightly.

Li Yong, who was already hungry and couldn't stand it, saw that he was drinking tea without talking. After sitting back on the chair, he carefully glanced at the old man above him, before he dared to spoon up the delicious fish with his old hands. Porridge.

Ah Zhen, who was drinking tea, raised his eyes lightly, and took a peek at the old man below. Seeing him burying his head in eating porridge, there was a deep smile in his eyes.

It wasn't until the old man finished eating a large bowl of porridge that Li Yong stood up thankfully, bowed his fists and said, "Thank you, King Tubo."

"Oh." Ah Zhen pretended to be in a daze, looked at him with a smile, and asked with concern: "Is Envoy Li full? Do you want another bowl?"

"No, no. I'm full, I'm full." Li Yongda waved his hands, terrified at being treated with such care.

"Hmm." Nodding his head, he asked straight to the point, "I don't know what the reason for Li's envoy's visit this time?"

Li Yong, who had been here for a long time, saw that he was finally going to talk about business, and walked to the king's table, cupped his fists and asked, "Yesterday, the king of Tubo promised his ministers that if the seventh prince fulfills the conditions as he wishes, he will help him restore the country."

"That's right." The nodding Ah Zhen asked excitedly: "Could it be that the envoy Li has completed this arduous task and persuaded Li Yue?"

Li Yong shook his head and sighed: "No, Great King of Tubo. The Seventh Prince ordered me to come here this time to ask you, since you let the Seventh Prince think about it for a few days, why did you forcefully raid our military camp?"

Knowing that he was coming to ask, Ah Zhen, who had already thought about what to say, stood up with a smile and said: "About this question." Seeing the old man in front of him listening carefully, a smile rose from his sly eyes, and he gestured to the teacup on the table The invitation said: "Come, envoy Li, please drink tea."

Seeing his invitation, Li Yong, who was listening carefully, immediately cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Tubo King." He quickly picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Yeah." Yiyi walked out of the throne, looked at Li Yong with his hands behind his back and said, "When I woke up last night, I suddenly saw fog on the river. I had to wait a month or two for the west wind to come, but I didn't expect that God would give it to me." Such a favorable opportunity. I was born in a military family, and I know that timing does not wait for others, so I resolutely swung my troops across the river."

Hearing this, Li Yong shook his head vigorously, "The King of Tubo said something first, but he backtracked, which is very wrong."

"Emissary Li made a slip of the tongue." Shaking his head and chuckling, he said, "I promised to give Li Yue time to take the exam, but I never promised not to cross the river. Besides, if the opportunity is missed and Li Yue refuses to agree, then I will miss the opportunity in vain." good opportunity, don't you think?"

"The "blocked" was speechless, and Li Yong retorted silently: "Even so, such a sneak attack by the king of Tubo will damage the tiger's prestige."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Zhen retorted: "This is the way of the military strategist, and it has nothing to do with reputation. The military strategist, the false one is real, the real one is false, unexpected, unexpected, surprise soldiers attack, this is What the predecessors did, and I follow the steps of the ancients, are Su Qin and Zhang Yi also despicable villains who go back on their promises?"

"This" Li Yong, who was reticent, was speechless when he was refuted, "The king of Tubo first reassures himself, and then chooses troops to attack. It is difficult to win the trust of the world because of emotion and reason."

"Heh" Ah Zhen, who laughed lightly, patted his shoulder and neck, shook his head and said: "Message Li thinks of me as a traitor, it's really a villain's heart seizing a gentleman's belly." Pointing his finger straight at heaven, he said: " How can I know that there is fog in the middle of the night, and how can I know that Li Yue is retreating and not fighting?"

"The king of Tubo has the talent of gods and ghosts, and he ordered people to build tens of thousands of logs during the day. Didn't he intend to capture it long ago, so why?"

"That's right." Nodding generously, he said without waiting for him to speak: "When I ordered people to make logs, the envoy Li hadn't come yet. Even if envoy Li came, I must plan ahead. If Li Yue didn't agree, and I was unprepared, the protracted period of time, the army scattered, how can I fight?"

"This"

"Envoy Li." Ah Zhen, who didn't let him finish speaking, lied to the dead and asked, "Even if I have already crossed the river, why did the Seventh Prince do this? As long as he agrees to what I mentioned, he can ascend to the throne." Don't need to be like this." At this point, he turned his head and looked into Li Yong's eyes quietly, and asked, "I'm crossing the river, but the Seventh Prince is in such a hurry. Could it be that he's playing tricks on me, wasting my time, and letting me go?" I wasted my chance?"

"No, no, no" Hearing his skeptical words, Li Yong was frightened and lost his mind. He put on a pair of veterans and said: "The seventh prince is just going to take the exam for a while, and he will never be so treacherous."

Letting out a breath on purpose, Ah Zhen smiled again, patted him on the shoulder and said, "With the words of Li Envoy, I can rest assured. After all, I don't want to see the smoke of Li Chao again, why bother?" Embarrass the people?"

"Yes, yes. The people are so innocent." Although Li Yong, who nodded repeatedly, felt relieved on his face, he was hesitant in his heart. According to what the Tubo king said, as long as the seventh prince nodded, he could sit on the throne, but why did he not Such a jump?so angry?Could it be that, thinking of this, he gasped in horror and dared not think any further.You can't lie to the king of Tubo, otherwise, when this mastiff gets angry, the already dilapidated mountains and rivers of the Li Dynasty will be razed to the ground by millions of cavalry in an instant.
