"It was early this morning. ”

Yang Shidao said with a little weakness: "Yesterday, His Majesty's dragon boat was still more than 300 miles away from the Eastern Capital, and the two of us were impatient, so we returned to the Eastern Capital in advance." ”

He and Duan Lun both served in the forbidden army, serving as a preparer, and they were the pro-army of the Son of Heaven. Running back at this time is indeed a violation of military law.

However, in the next few days, in fact, it was not their turn to be on duty, and most of the sons and daughters of many nobles in the army could not bear their temperament and scattered like monkeys early.

Duan Lun wrapped his hands around his shoulders enthusiastically: "How does it feel to be a Qianniu body?" I really didn't expect it, just to go around Liaodong, you kid, have already climbed on my head." ”

Li Shimin's expression was helpless. He and these two really didn't get warm up to this point.

Duan Lun has met him twice, but they only nod their heads to each other. is Yang Shidao, who didn't pay much attention to him in the past.

So, is it still because of the robes and robes of the thousands of cattle and the ribbon of the three divisions?

Li Shimin understood in his heart, and there was a humble and slightly smug smile on his face: "It's just a fluke, with the talents of the two brothers, as long as the time is right, they will be able to rise to the top and rise steadily." ”

"Timing? Like you, can you command less than 3,000 defeated soldiers to fight against twice as many elite rebels? I, Duan Lun, have self-knowledge, but I don't have the ability to turn the tide in adversity like you. ”

Duan Lun laughed at himself: "Vilu Sha, your ability to use soldiers and military exploits, we are convinced." ”

Speaking of this, he squeezed his eyebrows at Li Shimin and said, "After I came back this time, I heard that you had an appointment with those two Turkic princes, can you tell me the truth? How sure are you this time? Your brother-in-law wants to earn some pocket money,"

"There is no need to ask Virusha about this. ”

Yu Wenshi interjected on the side: "General Dong Chun personally concluded that he would definitely win this battle." However, your Duan Lun's bet is estimated to be accepted by no one. ”

"What's that?"

Yang Shidao couldn't help but ask strangely: "In the black market, don't you allow others to bet?"

Yu Wenshi did not answer, but only smiled and did not speak.

Duan Lun suddenly realized: "You animal! This time it was you Yu Wenshi who opened the market in the black market?"

"Where can I swallow it alone, but I only have a third of the ingredients in it,"

Yu Wenshi and Heran smiled, and his eyes were colorful: "As a shareholder, you can't do this transaction that obviously loses money?"

"You're disgusting—"

Yang Shidao shook his head slightly, with a look of contempt: "Now all over Luoyang City is saying that the strength of those two Turkic princes is unfathomable, and they have not gone all out in the previous dozen battles. The battle of Viluja is estimated to be less victorious and more defeated. I'm afraid these rumors are also the handiwork of your Yu Wenshi?"

Li Shimin is also speechless, his feelings have earned the most this time, and he is still his 'good brother'. He decided that he could let Fan Shixing bet another 200,000 yuan tomorrow.

"How can this gamble go on if everyone is optimistic about Virusha? ”

Yu Wenshi and a reasonable appearance, without any shame, and then he covered his mouth with a folding fan, and quietly discussed with Li Shimin: "Today, the two princes of the Ashina family, as well as the Tiele Khan Qibi He Li, are also there, if the time is right, you might as well show weakness a little?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he just sneered at 'hehe', thinking to himself how could he cooperate with Yu Wenshi and do such a immoral thing?

"After the deed is completed, 500,000 yuan of silver will be offered!"

Yu Wenshi and Li Shimin's temperament can be said to be well understood, and he continued to persuade without surprise: "In Luoyang City, those who can come into contact with the black market are either powerful figures, or underworld heroes, and then those gangsters, there are few grass people who can bet in it." Even if you trap them, you don't need to feel guilty. ”

He then looked at Yang Shidao and Duan Lun with a smile: "The listener has a share, you two are his future brothers-in-law, if you can help me, you will also have 100,000 yuan afterwards!"

When these two people heard this, they suddenly looked at Li Shimin with bright eyes,

Although they are also children of the Hao family, they do not have Li Shimin's ability to assemble ink armor, nor are they as wealthy as Yu Wenshi and others. This 100,000 yuan, in their eyes, is already a lot of money, enough to squander it for half a year.

"It's—"

Li Shimin's face was full of helplessness: "I'll try my best! If there is no chance, then it's no wonder that I."

He actually pushed the boat along the river, and when he heard the words '500,000 guan', he was actually moved.

"I know that you will not disappoint me, and as for the timing, I will arrange it. ”

Yu Wenshi smiled like a fox, and then said with some curiosity: "Speaking of which, I don't understand, why are you here today? Since you entered the Eastern Capital, you have been invited to the banquet less than three times. Especially at this time, I thought you would study the information I gave you. ”

In his memory, his friend rarely attended such an occasion. Especially after Li Xuanba's death, this one is even more out of the door. There is no need, never go out.

And as far as he knew, Li Shimin had gained a lot of benefits in the Vientiane Pagoda this time. At this time, shouldn't this guy hide at home and study enlightenment?

So when he learned that Li Shimin would also go to King Qin's banquet today, he was actually taken aback. After all, this is not a very serious occasion, it's just that King Qin has accepted a new concubine, and most of the people who come are gentlemen in the capital.

"Come out and breathe, don't you believe it?. ”

Li Shimin prevaricated casually, but he also knew this reason, and he couldn't make Yu Wenshi believe it, so he added: "I also heard that the two spies of the Ashina family and Tiele Khan will attend, so come and see what kind of characters these three people are." ”

A few people laughed and laughed, and they had already entered the lobby of the Jade Pavilion, only to see that there were already many guests here, although there were not a few ministers in power, but all of them were from powerful and wealthy families. Among them, only Li Shimin knows, there are fifty or sixty.

As soon as Li Shimin stepped in, everyone in this hall was attracted to come and go. As the hottest topic in Luoyang City today, his current state is like a magnet. Everywhere you go, it's all in the limelight

However, it is worth noting that there are only four of them. There are three men and one woman, all dressed as interracial.

The men were all between fifteen or sixteen years old, and they all looked at him with scrutinizing eyes, and as for the woman, it was Ashina Minghui, whom he had seen a few days ago, but his gaze was a little cold.

Li Shimin guessed that the richly dressed young man on the left hand side of Ashina Minghui was Ashina Shishi, the son of Shibi Khan, and the one who was dressed as a servant and stood behind him was Ashina Simo.

As a slave, this person entered the Eastern Capital with Ashinash Boyi, most likely on the orders of the brothers of Shibi Khan, to observe the reality of the Great Sui.

It's just that at that time, no one would have thought that the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Great Sui would be defeated so badly in Liaodong.

In addition, there is another one under them, a young man with a strong body like a mountain, who is Qi Bi He Li.

This was the Khan of the Tieleqibi tribe, who succeeded him as Khan at the age of nine. However, there were many Khans of Tieler, more than twenty. The Qibi clan is only one of the Tiele, and there were tens of thousands of people in their heyday, but now there are only 3,000 tents left.

At this time, the Qibi clan was nominally subservient to the Great Sui, but they were entangled with the court of the Turks.

This time, he came to the Eastern Capital, saying that he was asking the imperial court to canonize him, but in fact, he was forced by his strong neighbor Xue Yantuo and had to ask for help from the Great Sui.

Therefore, this time when the three grassland princes swept the Eastern Capital, Qi Bi He Li was the most gentle, and the few times he went to war, he was forced to fight and had to fight.

But this person's force is really good. Qi Bi He Li wanted to release water several times before, but the opponent was too scumbag, and he was beaten down in two hits, so that this person couldn't get it if he wanted to.

However, according to the information provided by Yu Wenshi and others, he Li has been very close to the two Turkic agents recently, which is probably also affected by the defeat of Liaodong.

Once the Great Sui took care of the grassland, then the situation of the Qibi clan was very dangerous.

And the Ashina family, although it originated from the Xiongnu, the bloodline of the Tiele tribe has been integrated into this grassland royal family. It can even be said that the Turkic tribe is a branch of the Tiele tribes, and is the king of all the Tiele people.

Compared with the Great Sui, who is hostile to the grassland and intends to divide and rule, the Qibi clan will naturally have a better impression of the Ashina family.

This can be seen from the next few battles, and the style of Qi He Li became stronger and stronger, which can be seen one or two clues.

- This is about Ashinash's bowl, or what Ashina Simo promised to this person, so that this man finally strengthened his waist and began to deal with the challenges of the Sui people head-on, and also made several 'young heroes' who thought they could pick up a soft persimmon lose face.

But Li Shimin explained to Yu Wenshi before Sui, saying that this trip was to see what kind of characters these grassland princes were. But in his heart, he didn't care much about these people, just glanced at them slightly, and then withdrew his gaze.

More attention was still paid to his own 'Divine Blood Eyelet' who was acting alone.

With an unfathomable strength like Qin Kerou, he only has one chance to snipe. Once the arrow misses, so that the other party has a sense of vigilance, then the possibility of him shooting the other party is very small.

Therefore, Li Shimin had to devote more effort over there, striving to bring the combat power of this 'Divine Blood' and the two summoned 'Divine Venerables' to the extreme.

But then, I don't know if it was Yuwenshi's 'arrangement', or a coincidence, Li Shimin's seat was arranged next to Tiele Khan Qibi He Li.

And not long after he entered the table, Zhang Yurou's excited voice came from his ears: "Qin Kerou, she really wants to go out of the city!"
