The tiny turmoil in Chang'an City disappeared invisibly after Li Chengqian's ruin. The father and son went to the Lizheng Hall one after the other to visit the pot-bellied Empress Eldest Sun. Then, Li Shimin went to see Yang Shufei and Li Su, specially put down the things in his hand, and played chess with Yang Shufei's mother and son for a long time.

Li Chengqian, on the other hand, went out of the city in full gear to see the experimental hall of the Gewu Institute under construction in the suburbs, and had a cordial meeting with Yang Shuyue, the right-hand attendant of the Ministry of Engineering, who designed and built it.

As for the families, there was no further action. The eldest grandson clan was rampant before, and Li Chengqian was directly beaten to the end, so that everyone was re-examining the pattern of the capital and re-acquainting themselves with the princes of the Li family. Moreover, the arrival of the sixth room of the Yang family made the family with heresy in their hearts faintly feel ominous.

As a result, the capital is really peaceful. The caliber of each family's actions is unified, that is, they rejoice with His Majesty, and they are happy that the north has eliminated the trouble of the Liang thief.

And in a mountain on the border of the Tang Dynasty, thousands of miles away, the returning mission was stationed there.

Before, because the king of Shu frightened the Turks with one arrow and three carving skills, Jieli personally set up a banquet to entertain the mission. During this period, Jieli also tried his best to get back a game, and then the king of Shu did not leak, and he was in the competition in a few rounds. Qin Ming and Eldest Sun Jun were also shocked, and Jieli didn't mention the competition.

Later, Tuli and Jieli turned against each other, and the king of Shu showed the attitude of the Tang Dynasty. It is not good for Jieli to send Shi Chen to ask for help, and once the Tang Dynasty sends troops, it may not withdraw from the Turks as scheduled, and Jieli does not dare to take risks.

Therefore, Jieli turned to wishful thinking, thinking about holding Li Ke, and instead wanted to coerce Liang Shidu to send troops to rescue. If Liang Shi didn't save him, he revealed to Datang that Liang Shi had held the mission hostage.

It's a pity that the Turks haven't succeeded yet, and Liang Shidu is in a hurry. Jieli weighed again and again, and while sending a small number of soldiers to rush to the aid to see the situation, he continued to capture the mission. Before the Turkic cavalry arrived in Shuofang City, they were beaten back by Xue Wanjun, the vanguard of Chai Shao's army, and the mission had leisurely left the Turkic land.

Most of the envoys were the second sons or children of various families, and the children of important ministers in the court. This time, he was tied up by Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji to see the world. Many people have never experienced such thrilling things, as early as on the way there, when they encountered all kinds of dangers to chase and kill, some children of the family were scared to death, and prayed in their hearts to be able to return to the capital as soon as possible.

Now, jumping from the Turkic wolf's den to the land of the Tang Dynasty, everyone is relieved, they are like arrows, and they wish they would return to the capital to get drunk and die.

I was frightened along the way, and I haven't eaten and drunk well. However, as soon as the envoy returned to the border, the king of Shu ordered to be stationed on the spot. As a result, the mission was stationed in a high mountain forest on the border.

The crowd was puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask. Although the King of Shu is young, he has made his ideas along the way. In the face of waves of thieves, it was his guards who calmly responded; in the face of the Turkic challenge, it was he who shocked the Turks with three birds with one stone; and in the face of Jieli's aggressiveness, it was he who resisted back like a clear breeze and a bright moon.

Stationed at the border until the second day, someone finally couldn't hold back and went to ask when the king of Shu would leave. The King of Shu was looking at the half-moon in the distance, and said without looking back: "Your father is the guard of the Changlin Gate, right?"

"Yes. The man's heart tightened. He had no ambitions in his life, and he didn't want to go to any battlefield. This time, his father asked him to follow the king of Shu to Turkic. He really didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour, and he didn't eat well, he didn't sleep well, and his body was getting worse and worse.

"Your father didn't teach you, as a soldier, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of you, only the military order is there, you have to go forward?" The King of Shu still did not look back, but stood proudly on the edge of the cliff.

This person only felt an invisible pressure, and the sentence was already trembling: "The king of Shu forgives his sins, and his subordinates are just, just, homesick, homesick." ”

"It makes sense that I cut you down right here. Do you understand?" the King of Shu slowly turned around.

The man fell to his knees and cried out for forgiveness.

"Your father, the town guard, was also arrogant, and you are not a son in the end. Li Ke glanced at him.

The man slowly knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and kept shouting forgiveness.

"Say, what else do you have to say?" Li Ke interrupted him.

The man was stunned for a moment before he said, "They, they say that the Liang Shi of Shuofang City are all scheming, and this place is too close to Shuofang City. The Turks want to arrest us again, afraid, afraid that here, the king of Shu will be in danger. So, therefore, let's, let the subordinates speak. ”

"They?" asked Li Ke playfully.

The man was prostrate on the ground, trembling all over, unable to speak.

"Oh, don't scare him. The eldest grandson said loudly.

"It's a pity that General Yun is iron-clad, but he has such a son. Li Ke said regretfully.

The eldest grandson shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who said that a son must be like a father? ”

"Hehe, are you talking about yourself?" Li Ke glanced at him.

The eldest grandson laughed and said, "I'm not like my father." His arrogance, his ambition for his country and the world, I still have it. ”

Li Ke didn't speak, just turned around and continued to look at the half moon in the distance.

"You, why don't you get out of here?" said to Yun Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground.

The man on the ground staggered to his feet and staggered to leave. The eldest grandson Jun Khan said: "Use your brains to do things, why didn't others come and let you come? Even if you are not from a military general's family, you must understand the etiquette." This time, this mission, only the reason for the order of the King of Shu, how can you question the reason?"

"Yes, yes. The man was terrified, and fell many times, until he finally rolled back into his tent.

Eldest Sun Jun stepped forward and asked softly, "Shuofang City, should you take it?"

Li Ke glanced at him and said, "I don't know what you said." ”

"I can think of anything, can you not think of it?, what are you pretending?"

Li Ke still didn't speak, he just felt that the moon was really bright tonight. Seeing that he did not answer, Changsun Jun continued to explain: "It is well known that Shuofang colluded with the Turks. And one of the dangers of your envoy to the Turks is that the Turks will move you, or the Liang Shi will kill you. But if Shuofang City is broken and Liang Shi is killed, then you are relatively safe. ”

"Hmm. And then?" asked Li Ke.

"So, will you deploy to take Shuofang City?" said Changsun Jun.

"Chai Shao and Hou Junji have already assembled. The capture of Shuofang City was deployed by His Majesty. "Even if he fights side by side with Changsun Jun this time, it is impossible for him to be friends with the people of Changsun Jun's family.

"That's Your Majesty's trust, would you trust them so much?" said Changsun Jun directly.

"They are the pillars of the imperial court, and they naturally trust. Li Ke said calmly.

The eldest grandson laughed, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Are you willing to take A-Zhi's risk?" For your safety, she will take down Liang Shidu and Shuofang at any cost. Will you let her go on an adventure?"

Li Ke glanced at him and sneered: "How can you make people think of flies flying around, it's very annoying." ”

The eldest grandson wanted to say something, but suddenly fireworks bloomed in the distant sky. The night was clear and the visibility was excellent. Therefore, although the fireworks are far away, they can still be seen clearly, and those fireworks are in the shape of peonies.

"Where did the fireworks come from?" said the eldest grandson to himself.

Li Ke smiled. shouted, "Xiao Jiu, go and prepare wine and food." ”

A peaceful young man turned out from behind the woods next to him, answered, and asked, "Is it what Miss Bei likes?"

"Yes. Li Ke replied loudly.

The eldest grandson heard the clue and hurriedly asked, "Ah Zhi is coming?"

Li Ke was silent, turned around and went to the camp tent, and the eldest grandson Jun also followed, and asked, "This firework is a signal from Ah Zhi, right?"

"Your eldest grandson will put me to death. Li Ke lightly glanced at the eldest grandson Jun who came up.

Eldest Sun Jun's expression froze, and he didn't say any more, but he already guessed in his heart that Yang Minzhi was really coming. In an instant, there were a thousand tastes in his heart: there was a joy that could not be suppressed, but also depression and melancholy.

Anyway, he went back to his tent in distraught, and fell asleep, but fell asleep again. After tossing and turning for a while, he took out the wine he carried with him, drank it one by one without serving the food and drinks, and looked at the half moon in the sky from the gap in the tent, and wanted to cry all the time.

The eldest grandson fell asleep after drinking, and when a spirit woke up, he heard someone talking. He didn't care about listening carefully, but his intuition was that Yang Minzhi was coming. So he suddenly turned over and was about to run out of the tent. But after running two steps, he suddenly remembered that his appearance was really inappropriate, so he called the guards to fetch water, and he wanted to freshen up and go to see Ah Zhi refreshingly.

This time, the moon has sunk in the west, and the east is revealing a slight fish belly color, and the night is coming to an end.

Three hours ago, in the middle of the moon, in the dormitory of Liang Shidu, Jiang Chengzi killed the city lord of Shuofang. Then, she asked the firmament to lead Chai Shao's army into the city, disguised the city as a civil strife, so as to peacefully solve the great trouble of Shuofang City without a single soldier, and held the gateway to the northern land of the Tang Dynasty in the hands of the Tang army.

After she finished the task, she didn't care about changing her clothes, nor did she care about the fatigue of traveling for a long time, so she went straight to find Li Ke. As for the map of the pathfinder, as early as when she came out of the Lost Mountain Range, she arranged for Yun Ge to return with Li Nan's men, and by the way, she finished drawing the map of this pathfinder and handed it over to Qin Shubao to present to the Son of Heaven.

"Girl, slow down. Childe was stationed on the cloud cliff. "Out of Shuofang City, Jinyun can't catch up with his own girl.

"Is Cloud Cliff safe?" Jiang Chengzi paused slightly.

"Safe. Li Nan hurriedly replied, "That is the boundary of the Tang Dynasty Xiazhou, and there are our people around." ”

"Will the Turkic people be mad? And those people from the family faction, have you taken care of it?" Jiang Chengzi asked all the way as he walked quickly.

"Rest assured, now that Shuofang City has been taken over, and the Turks themselves are in a mess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is secretly investigating spies in Chang'an, and they dare not run rampant. Jinyun replied.

"That's still not safe. Jiang Chengzi shook his head, "I still have to hurry up." ”

Jin Yun and Li Nan really couldn't catch up, and this is a narrow mountain road and they can't ride horses, so they can only climb over the mountain in front of them to reach the designated place and get the horses arranged by their own people.

"Girl, we, we're a little bit overwhelmed. Jinyun said embarrassedly.

Li Nan was also embarrassed, Jiang Chengzi held up all of a sudden, and said embarrassedly: "I forgot, it's not anyone who is me." ”

She slowed down, and it took the group of three half an hour to reach the designated place, and it was already midnight.

"At dawn, it is estimated that you will be able to reach the cloud cliff. Jinyun said.

Jiang Chengzi didn't speak, she wished that she was an arrow this time, hurry up to his side, face the rain arrow wind knife beside him with him, and find out all those who have ghosts in their hearts.

The three of them stopped talking, and only rushed to the cloud cliff. Three hours later, the moon had sunk in the west, revealing a slight fish's belly color in the east.

Jiang Chengzi reined in his horse and looked at the towering cliff in the distance, if he wanted to climb up, it would take two hours.

She frowned and whistled, and the white phoenix bird hidden in the clouds fell lightly and stood in front of her very obediently.

"Huh, didn't the white phoenix bird go back?" Jin Yun was also surprised.

"Yun Ge is afraid that I am in danger, and hopes that the white phoenix bird can escort me to his master. Jiang Chengzi explained, while stroking the white phoenix bird's feathers, and communicating with him with consciousness, "White phoenix bird, can you please help me and send me to the top of the cliff?"

The white phoenix nodded, then raised her head and rubbed her neck, then squatted down.

"Thank you. Jiang Chengzi patted its neck, sat gently on the back of the white phoenix bird, hugged the neck of the white phoenix bird, and calmed himself, trying not to let his weight bring flying trouble to the white phoenix bird.

The white phoenix bird spreads its wings upward, its posture is light and graceful, and the sound of the wind is whirring in its ears.

"Girl, what about us?" asked Li Nan hurriedly.

"Climb up yourselves. Jiang Chengzi replied crisply.

Jin Yun glanced at Li Nan and quipped, "You also want to try the White Phoenix Bird Mount?"

"Didn't I learn how to control birds, and I wanted to have a good time?" Li Nan shrugged. There are many talented people under his command who can resist birds, but he just can't learn it.

"Even if you know how to control birds, you can't control birds like Bai Feng. Jinyun said.

"yes. They can't even control Yun Ge. Li Nan remembered the bird that was not beaten, and looked up to see that the huge white phoenix bird had flown to the top of the cliff.

"Let's go. Jinyun waved his hand.

Jiang Chengzi sat on the back of the white phoenix bird, and was sent by the white phoenix bird to the bottom of the cliff, and landed in a hidden wood, Jiang Chengzi patted its back to express his gratitude, and communicated with it with his mind, so that it could quickly return to Lost Mountain and move to a more secret place.

The white phoenix bird didn't say a word, just walked over, leaned his head on her shoulder, gently hugged her with his wings, and then took advantage of the night to flutter his wings and fly into the clouds.

Jiang Chengzi stood in the barren grass taller than her, watching Bai Feng disappear into the clouds, and she listened intently.

I heard many people sleeping deeply, breathing evenly. There are also those who have not slept: in a tent on the east side, some people are complaining about what the king of Shu is doing here, why he hasn't pulled it back, and in the tent on the west side, some people are whispering, and they actually shout "Azhi". Jiang Chengzi was startled, listened carefully, and the man shouted in a dream again, it turned out to be the eldest grandson.

Jiang Chengzi was a little helpless, and said sorry to him in his heart. Subsequently, she filtered out his voice and found Li Ke's tent very accurately. Because Li Ke hadn't slept yet, Xiao Jiu was asking the girl when the hour would come?

"Shuofang City should be here for five hours. No, I'll have to go down the hill to pick her up. Li Ke stood up as he spoke.

Jiang Chengzi hurriedly ran over. She's fast and light. Those guards only felt that a strong wind had passed, and by the time they noticed the abnormality and shouted "who", Jiang Chengzi had landed firmly at the door of Li Ke's tent.

Li Ke also heard the movement and drew his sword in his hand. Jiang Chengzi hurriedly shouted: "Ah Nian, it's me." ”
