Baili Yanqing supported the token and handed it over to Tang Bo, and said to Tang Bo without hesitation: "Cousin, this is the Tang family's property, my mother and I have always kept it, and now it is just returned to the original owner." ”
"Yanqing, don't worry, the token is in my hands, I will definitely revive the Tang family's army, and I will listen to Yanqing in the future, and I will fight wherever my cousin points out."
Baili Yanqing was amused by Tang Bo's words, "What does it mean to fight, even if the Tang family army can't return to the Great Xia Kingdom, I have nothing to say, and I support you." In the current situation, the Tang army can only be independent from Xisha Island, if it is completely independent, other countries will definitely not agree, and one more country among the five countries is on an equal footing with them. So the location of Xisha Island is a little awkward, but we are not a country, just a single island, what we need is a special position, so that several countries cannot easily move us. ”
If it was the Tang family army in the past, Baili Yanqing was worried that the token would be handed over to Tang Bo, in case the Tang family army's people instigated Tang Bo, or Tang Bo had ambitions, it would be a big attack on the Great Xia Kingdom.
Tang Bo is her cousin, but the four princes are also her cousins, plus the four princes also grew up with her, Baili Yanqing is not a virgin, but they all hope that there is no conflict of power and interests between Tang Bo and the four princes.
Otherwise, if the Tang family army is here, Tang Bo will lead the Tang family army to attack Great Xia and fight for the throne, then there will be a conflict with the four princes. Baili Yanqing does not hate the Great Xia Kingdom, and she wants to take revenge and not to destroy the entire Great Xia Kingdom, but to target Emperor Xia Hui and the Empress Dowager Cui, the Cui family, the Wei family, the Shen family, and the Wei Chi family.
Now there are only five elders left in the Tang family's army, and the 50,000 soldiers on Xisha Island were before the Tang family's army was exposed. It's not the Tang family's army, Tang Lao and they are incognito, and the fact that they are the Tang family's army has not been exposed.
However, after the Tang Jiajun was exposed, these 50,000 soldiers also officially belonged to the Tang Jiajun, continuing the life of the Tang Jiajun.
Baili Yanqing gave the token to Tang Bo, and he also knew that the current Tang family army could not threaten the Great Xia Kingdom, and he also had confidence in the royal army trained by his father.
In Baili Yanqing's heart, she didn't want the royal army and the Tang family army to reach an endless situation.
Now that all parties in the Great Xia Kingdom are at war, Tang Lao and they also know the relationship between Baili Yanqing and Yan Qinghao, plus Yan Qinghao is now leading his troops to guard the dock. Always ready to attack.
Several elders and Tang Bo listened quietly, and they also understood what Baili Yanqing meant, now the third prince of the Great Xia Kingdom is the son of Tang Guifei, and the future of the Great Xia Kingdom is Tang Guifei and the third prince. The Tang family army can help the crown prince ascend the throne, but it can't be a struggle for imperial power, just take revenge for the year.
This is also the idea of several elders and Tang Bohe, but if the crown prince ascends the throne, will he definitely be able to move them.
Tang Lao looked at Baili Yanqing and said this idea. In case he helps the prince ascend the throne, the prince will fight against Xisha Island in the future. Although the prince has half of the Tang family's blood, and the Tang family has never thought of rebellion, the prince is surnamed Xia after all. Xisha Island is, after all, part of the territory of Bactria . After the crown prince becomes the emperor, if he wants to get Xisha Island back.
"Then we will make an agreement with the prince, as long as there is an agreement, even if the prince ascends the throne. It's not easy to attack us. Baili Yanqing said.
This is also true, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and now the four princes don't take Xisha Island in their eyes. In addition, the mother family of the four princes is also the Tang family. But a person's life is so long, if the four princes reign, who knows what will happen to the changes in the future.
What if the four princes reach middle age, or when they are old, when the imperial power is stable and the army is strong, they will send troops to Xisha Island.
Baili Yanqing didn't think of this, so she also looked at Tang Lao and said, "We haven't always been so weak, we will always be strong, and we can't sit still." Baili Yanqing's words also tied herself to Tang Lao and Tang Bo.
Tang Lao and Tang Bo think about it, after all, Baili Yanqing has to come forward in this matter, if the prince really wants to attack Xisha Island in the future, he can still let Baili Yanqing go. Now that the crown prince has half of the Tang family's bloodline after all, they are willing to support the prince's ascension, which is better than the Wei Chi clan or the Cui clan gaining power.
"Yanqing, the position of the owner of Xisha Island is still up to you." Tang Bo suddenly said such a sentence, and Tang Lao and the others all looked sideways.
There is no island owner on Xisha Island, although Tang Lao has served as the island owner for 20 years, he is not the island owner in the end, and several elders are co-governed.
Tang Bo is a descendant of Tang Guogong, and now that Tang Lao has become an elder, it is only natural for Tang Bo to be the owner of the island. Baili Yanqing never thought about being the owner of Xisha Island, she just thought that Tang Jiajun could help her in the future, after all, she might have to face the problem of several holy relics in the future.
She is the owner of the hidden door, the hidden door occupies Penglai Island, I think for it, she is also the owner of Penglai Island, Baili Yanqing really didn't want to be the owner of Xisha Island, so she was stunned for a moment after listening to Tang Bo's words, and said: "Then how to do it, you are the descendant of the Tang family." ”
"Yanqing is also a descendant of the Tang family, cousin, and we are also blood relatives." Tang Bo said.
Baili Yanqing rolled her eyes, can it be the same, can this granddaughter be the same as her granddaughter, especially here in ancient times, there is no comparison.
"Yanqing, only you can be qualified for the position of the owner of Xisha Island." Tang Lao said suddenly, stood up again and saluted Baili Yanqing, "Please Yanqing take over the position of the island master." ”
The other elders did the same, saluting Baili Yanqing and pleading.
"Old Tang, Old Feng, Old He, Old Xu, Old Xie, why do you say that, the position of the island owner is the most suitable for my cousin." Baili Yanqing shook her head lightly.
It's not that she didn't want to agree, it's just that she didn't have the intention of becoming the king of Xisha Island before she came, and she was just joking with the four princes at that time. Baili Yanqing didn't know Tang Bo before, if Tang Bo didn't have any ability, Baili Yanqing would be fine. But the problem is that Tang Bo is a very good person, she doesn't want to compete with Tang Bo, and there is not much need for her to be the owner of the island.
"Yanqing, just agree, I know that you don't want to fight with me, and I also know that you don't have much thought about Xisha Island, but it is most suitable for Yanqing to become the owner of Xisha Island. Only you can get Xisha Island out of the embarrassing situation, and I will listen to Yanqing in the future. I only hope that one day I can recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, I only hope that the residents of Xisha Island and the soldiers of the Tang family have a resting place, and I only hope that the Tang family army will live up to the prestige of my grandfather and father in my hands. Tang Bo said very sincerely.
Compared with Baili Yanqing, Tang Bo thinks more, although he and the prince are also cousins, but the problem is that the two of them don't know each other's existence since they were young, where is the relationship between Baili Yanqing and the fourth prince closer.
The fourth prince may be merciful to Baili Yanqing, but not necessarily for him, he doesn't think about any great cause, he just wants to save the Tang family army and live well.
Grandfather and father dedicated their lives to the battlefield, but they got such an ending, the death of his grandmother and mother, and even the tragic situation of the Tang family's army, Tang Bo was not without hatred in his heart. But he also knew that the four princes were innocent, and even because of this, the four princes with half of the Tang family's blood did not live so well in the palace of the Great Xia Kingdom.
He became the second prince when he arrived in the country of Jianan, although he was not favored by the king of Jianan, but he had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and even the second queen and the eldest prince were very good to him. But in the palace of the Great Xia Kingdom, Tang Guifei and the four princes were in a bad situation, and the four princes were even a fool when they were young.
If he didn't have the love of the second queen and the eldest prince, he wouldn't be able to survive safely in the palace of Jianan, and Tang Bo was very grateful to the second queen and the eldest prince. In Tang Bo's heart, the second queen and the eldest prince are his aunt and cousin, but they will always be his queen mother and brother.
Compared with the four princes, he is indeed much happier, so Tang Bo hates the Great Xia royal family, but he does not hate Tang Guifei and the four princes. Even if Baili Yanqing doesn't say it, Tang Bo will also support the four princes to ascend to the throne, but Tang Bo's support for the four princes is also limited. After all, Tang Bo was in Jianan Kingdom before, and now he is on Xisha Island, unless the four princes have to be driven out of the imperial city, Tang Bo's hand will not be able to reach out to the capital.
But Baili Yanqing is different, even if there is no Tang Jiajun, without him, Baili Yanqing can still support the four princes to ascend to the throne.
Although Tang Bo has known Baili Yanqing for a short time, he also knows that this cousin is not simple, and even unfathomable. Even if this cousin faked his death and got out of the capital, his cousin has his own power and connections, which is not comparable to them.
Tang Bo also saw the importance that several elders valued his cousin, and he also knew that it was not his cousin who had to rely on the Tang family army now, but the Tang family army, and even the entire Xisha Island had to rely on his cousin.
My cousin is capable and courageous, and there is nothing wrong with being the owner of Xisha Island. Now that he has left the country of Jianan, although he still has the name of the second prince, Tang Bo no longer wants to go back to be the second prince. If there is no accident, Xisha Island will be his place of sacrifice in the future, the Tang family in the capital, and he doesn't want to go back.
Although Tang Bo is surrounded by the people of the Tang family, he has no good impression of the Tang family in the current capital, and even has more disgust. Now Tang Bo can't recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but he also knows that it will not be too late for Lu Dao, but he doesn't want to have anything to do with the current Tang family in the capital at all.
And he has to rely on his cousin for everything in the future, only his cousin can help him, Tang Bo is very willing to let Baili Yanqing be the owner of this island.
"Okay, but everything on Xisha Island, including the Tang family, has to listen to me. The status of several elders remains unchanged, and the cousin is still the chief general of the Tang family's army. Baili Yanqing said that since she took over, she must have absolute sovereignty, not the name of an empty island owner. (To be continued......)
