After Ayi left the master's mansion, she walked in the direction of the palace with a lot of thoughts, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, in her mind, the master has always been a wise and decisive elder, and Hamigo is also a confident and tall big brother, but at this moment, these two people have no remorse for slaughtering the people, and are extremely indifferent to innocent lives, which makes her extremely surprised and puzzled.

'How could the master and Hamigo be like this?' ’

Ayi frowned, and suddenly felt that her entire worldview had collapsed.

More than ten years ago, she was still a little beggar on the street, begging with Hamiguo, at that time, Hamiguo took care of her like a big brother, every time she begged for delicious food, she would always think of her, and promised that one day when she was rich, she would take her to live a good life and buy her beautiful clothes, that is, at that time, she silently fell in love with Hamiguo, and longed to be with him forever.

And her master, when she was hungry and cold, shivering and shivering, fell from the sky, and passers-by handed a mouthful of leftovers, her master put a beautiful warm cotton jacket on her body, and took her back to the mansion, let her live in a tall house, eat fragrant meals, at the same time, but also let the master teach them skills, so that she can really feel the dignity of being a human being, the owner at that time smiled cutely, is so kind, at least in Ayi's mind, the master is a kind person.

But at this moment, she was stunned to find that all this had changed, the master and Hamigo had changed, they had become indifferent and ruthless, treating life like a mustard, and even, they were becoming more and more cold to her, and tonight, the angry master actually reached out and hit her, and the most he used to do was reprimand.

'The Great Theory of Tibet? It must have been him who influenced the master, and since the master came into contact with the Tibetans, he has gradually become indifferent. ’

Ayi frowned and pointed the finger at Tubo's great discussion of Wuxuan, only in this way can her heart feel better.

She walked in such a distraction, not noticing the figure following behind her, Tang Military Captain Zhang Guangsheng personally followed her, watched her enter the master's mansion, and watched her come out, and followed her until she entered the palace.

###

Where the Tang delegation stayed, Li An was looking at the map to analyze the situation around the Dongnu Kingdom, and occasionally he was concerned about the situation in the north.

The situation in the Eastern Woman Kingdom is already very tense, but the situation in the north is also worth paying attention to, the powerful post-Turkic empire is already on the verge of collapse, and if history remains unchanged, the Tang Dynasty's allied tribe Hui will rise rapidly in the near future to become a powerful empire with a vast territory.

Although historically, the relationship between Hui and Datang has always been relatively friendly, but that is because Datang sacrificed huge interests in exchange for Hui Hui's support, and let a unified and powerful empire be its neighbor, it is certainly not as good as a group of small countries that attack each other as their neighbors, however, Li An's ability is limited, and he seems to have no way to deal with the rise of Hui Hui, besides, now he is also lacking skills, and it is the top priority to deal with the situation in Dongnu as soon as possible.

Li An put away a few maps of the north, leaving only the topographical map of the surrounding Dongnu Kingdom that Zhang Qiu and Qiong gave him, and studied it carefully according to the current situation he had.

"Captain Li, there is a major discovery."

Zhang Guangsheng went straight into Ang Lee's room, looking quite urgent.

Li An didn't care about these worldly etiquette, and seeing Zhang Guangsheng's urgent expression, he hurriedly asked, "Guangsheng, what are the major discoveries?" ”

"The female spy finally made a move, and I followed her personally all the way and found her in the ......"

Zhang Guangsheng lowered his voice to prevent outsiders from hearing him.

"He's it?"

Li An's expression was shocked, and then he nodded slowly: "That's right, he really has a problem, now it's okay, I finally found out who colluded with Tubo." ”

"Captain Li, what should we do next? Do you need to tell King Guichang about this? It's also good for her to be mentally prepared. ”

"No, I can't tell her about this matter for the time being."

Li An immediately objected, frowned and said: "The evidence we have now is not very sufficient, it can only be used as speculation, in addition, how many ministers of the Eastern Women's Kingdom who colluded with Tubo, we still have not mastered, rashly alarming the King of Guichang, it will only startle the snake, or wait and see what it becomes." ”

Zhang Guangsheng nodded approvingly, although Ayi entered the man's mansion, this cannot be used as direct evidence, after all, he has been hiding outside, who Ayi has seen, he is not sure, what if it is a subordinate of the mansion?

"Captain Li, such a big thing, do you want to tell Xi Shilang and let him take precautions."

"No need, you know and I know this, don't tell anyone, remember, it's anyone."

Ang Lee accentuated his tone.

Zhang Guangsheng nodded: "Don't worry, I will continue to follow these spies and strive to find more clues." ”

Li An nodded and motioned for Zhang Guangsheng to step down.

Although the evidence at this moment is not sufficient, Li An can have a hunch that his guess will not be wrong, and once this person really follows the Tubo people with an iron heart, the situation will also become extremely bad, and Li An must find a way to reverse the unfavorable situation as soon as possible, at least, before the deployment is completed, he can't tear his face with this person, so as not to end up in a dead end.

For three consecutive days, most of the people in the Datang Mission stayed in their residences honestly, and most of the people who went out occasionally went to buy food, and they did not carry weapons.

The Tang Dynasty is strong and can entertain enough foreign missions for free, but the Dongnu Kingdom is a small country, and it is not a problem to entertain a few people such as Li An and Xi Yu, but the Tang army has more than 1,000 people, and if it is supported for a long time, this is not something that the court of the Dongnu Kingdom can afford.

The Tang army soldiers and horses were trapped in their residences, which was no different from house arrest, but this was also the product of Li An's negotiation and compromise with the ministers of the Eastern Female Kingdom, if not, he would have to move outside the city.

And in the past few days, the officials of the East Woman Country have also frequently entered the residence of the Tang Army, in the name of investigating the assassins, asking for bribes from the Tang Army soldiers, of course, this is impossible to do, the Tang Army soldiers have not done evil, have a clear conscience, and do not plan to stay in the East Women's Country for a long time, of course, they will not spend money to bribe the small East Women Country officials, and even despise these small country officials very much.

The officials of the Dongnu Kingdom failed to ask for bribes, and they were naturally very dissatisfied in their hearts, but no matter how they searched, they could not find evidence unfavorable to the Tang army soldiers, and when these officials searched, they must be accompanied by the Tang army soldiers and soldiers, and it is absolutely impossible to frame them.

In the past few days, Ang Lee has been studying the situation in Dongnu Kingdom, and even made a copy of the map given to him by Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and made some necessary marks on it to intuitively reflect the current situation.

And while Li An was studying the situation in the Eastern Women's Kingdom, the secret letter of the Tubo Great Treatise had been delivered to the hands of Tubo Zanpu Chide Zuzan.

The capital of the Tibetan kingdom was far away from the Dongnu Kingdom, but Chide Zuzan was no longer the national capital, he was not far from the border of the Dongnu Kingdom, and personally commanded the war between the Tubo army and the Tang army.

With the defeat of Gai Jiayun in the west of the Tang River and Longyou Jiedu, the strategically important Shibao City fell into the hands of Tubo, which greatly increased the confidence of Chide Zuzan, and felt that Tubo was not weaker than Datang, and there was no need to show weakness to Datang.

The ambitious Chide Zuzan was not in a hurry to return to the national capital, he and his elite soldiers and horses were stationed in the border area, ready to fight the Tang army again at any time, and at the same time, he was able to know the situation of the Dongnu Kingdom in time.

After receiving the secret letter from Wu Yanxiangguo, Chide Zuzan did not hesitate to send an army of 10,000 to the northwest of the Dongnu Kingdom, and robbed the property of the people of the Dongnu Kingdom outside the Guanwai, and even killed some of the people of the Dongnu Kingdom who resisted, causing many bloodsheds.

The army of the Dongnu Kingdom is only good at defense, and the troops are small, and they do not have the ability to repel the 10,000 troops of Tubo, in addition to defending the Tubo and breaking through the checkpoints, all they can do is to let the more than 1,000 people outside the pass withdraw to the Guannei, in order to avoid the harassment of the Tubo army, and the fertile fields and houses outside the pass can only be handed over to the Tubo army.

At the same time, the guards immediately sent the news of the invasion of Tibet, Pegasus, back to the queen city.

The successive bloody cases in Tibet infuriated the patriotic officials and people of the Eastern Kingdom, and they all demanded that the Tibetans be severely punished, and at the same time, the attitude towards the officers and men of the Tang Army was significantly improved.

The people of Dongnu are not stupid, they know that their strength is not enough to fight against Tubo, only with the help of the soldiers and horses of the Tang Empire, can they teach Tubo a hard lesson, of course, the Tang army is not something they can use casually, only in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army will be dispatched.

"Big brother, the second phase is here."

Li An hurriedly stood up and strode out.

"Two phases."

Zhao Yafu was not polite, and said directly: "Captain Li, I'm here to say goodbye." ”

"Farewell?"

Li An was stunned for a moment, and then understood what was going on.

"I've heard the news of the invasion of Tibet, and it seems that the second minister is going to go to the border in person."

Zhao Yafu nodded lightly: "Yes, this time Tubo dispatched 10,000 troops, and there are only 1,700 soldiers and horses guarding the border passes, I plan to take the 300 men and horses around me to immediately reinforce the northwest border, so as not to prevent Tubo from breaking through the checkpoint and threatening the queen city." ”

"The two are here, just to say goodbye?"

Zhao Yafu frowned: "I'm worried that this is a conspiracy of the Tubo people, so I want to hear Captain Li's opinion." ”

Li An shook his head lightly: "This is indeed very likely to be a conspiracy of the Tubo people, but I can't tell what kind of conspiracy this is, but there is one thing, I think I must let the second phase know." ”

"What's the matter?"

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The two prime ministers have worked hard to guard the northwest border, but if someone opens the door to steal and let the Tibetan army enter the country, the hard work of the two prime ministers will not be in vain." (To be continued.) )
