Zhou Gongjin quietly left Chang'an with the latest battleship drawings and twenty-three Confucian scholars, and Li Jun believed that this group of young men would create a miracle......

At this time, the Beijin people had already captured half of Goryeo, but the closer they got to Pingyang, the capital of Goryeo, the stronger the resistance of the Goryeo people became.

As time passed, the first snow in Goryeo had already fallen, and Wanyan Zongbi had no choice but to stop his troops and prepare to recuperate and fight again.

On this day, the snow fell, a group of cavalry escorted a carriage into the Beijin military camp, Wan Yan Zongbi personally greeted him at the door of the tent, a handsome boy walked down from the carriage, Wan Yan Zongbi walked forward with a smile on his face and bowed and said: "Mr. Su has been walking for several months, and it has been hard work, so hurry up and go to the tent to talk." ”

The person who came was Su Ji, Su Ji didn't finish talking nonsense with Yan Zongbi, and immediately went in, the weather in Liaodong was really cold, and when he entered the handsome tent, Su Ji suddenly felt warm like spring, let out a sigh of relief, threw away the coat casually, and picked up a glass of mare's milk wine on the table and poured it into his stomach.

Wanyan Zongbi didn't care about Su Ji's rudeness, and said with a smile: "Mr. is really suffering. ”

Su Ji laughed and said: "The prince is polite, hurry up and give Su a roast leg of lamb, during this time I eat sauerkraut every day in Goryeo, and Su is now sour when he burps." ”

"Haha, okay, don't worry, sir, the leg of lamb is definitely enough."

After Su Ji had eaten and drunk enough, Wanyan Zongbi asked in a low voice, "What is the result of this visit, sir?" ”

Su Ji arched his hand and said: "Lord, fortunately, the younger brother of the King of Goryeo, Gao An, has already agreed to the prince's conditions, just wait for the spring of next year, the king of Goryeo will sacrifice to the sky, and he will have an incident to echo the prince." ”

"This king has thanked Mr. Su." Wanyan Zongbi respectfully bowed.

Su Ji immediately helped Wan Yan Zongbi up, then looked left and right and asked strangely, "What about General Wan Yan Zongjun?" Why didn't you see him today? Didn't he and Su still have a gambling contract that hadn't been completed? ”

"Mr. Su misunderstood, this kid didn't mean not to pick you up, it's just that he lost the bet and was embarrassed to see Mr." Wanyan Zongbi said with a wry smile.

"Ah, so it was guessed by Su, and Tang Guo did it?" Su Ji asked in shock.

Wanyan Zongbi nodded and said: "Mr. Su is really resourceful, this king regrets that he shouldn't listen to Mr. 's words, and now Yuyang Pass has returned to the hands of the Tang Kingdom." ”

"What about General Wanyan Hu?" Su Ji continued to ask.

Wanyan Zongbi sighed and replied: "Alas, General Wanyan Hu was martyred. ”

"What are the losses of the Liaodong Army of Gao Zhe of the Tang State? If it is a defeat for both sides, my Dajin must take this opportunity to recapture Yuyang Pass, otherwise my Dajin will be in a weak position when facing the Tang State in the future. Su Ji immediately offered advice.

"Mr. Su, this is the most suspicious place for this king, according to the soldiers who escaped from Yuyang Pass, Tang Guo easily captured Yuyang Pass with the help of heavenly thunder, Gao Zhe's 100,000 Liaodong Army lost very little, and now Yuyang Pass has 50,000 troops stationed, unless this king uses the strength of the whole country to take it back, it is very difficult."

"Heavenly Thunder." Su Ji muttered to himself.

"Oh, sir, you know that kind of thing?"

Su Ji sighed: "It's not a secret, lord, when Su Ji left Datang, he didn't hear that Datang had this kind of weapon, but Su Ji remembered that when he was a child, he once followed his family teacher to visit friends in Shuzhong, and saw a strange person in the mountains of Shuzhong, this person would use something called "gunpowder" to fry fish in the river, and the family teacher also said that this person was the giant of the Yin and Yang family. ”

"Can a small yin-yang family make such a divine object?" Wanyan Zongbi asked in disbelief.

Su Ji nodded affirmatively and said: "Lord Wang, don't underestimate the Tang people, in terms of ingenuity, the most powerful thing in the Tang Kingdom is not the Yin and Yang family, but the Mo family, Su always feels that there must be a Mo family in this strange war." ”

"Alas, the Central Plains is rich in things, and there are so many strange people and strange things, please teach me, what should I do next?" After listening to it, Yan Zongbi sincerely asked Su Ji for advice.

"Don't worry, as long as our Dajin defeats Goryeo, the loss of a Yuyang Pass will have no impact on the overall situation, as Su sees, although the national strength of the Tang State is now increasing, but there are also many internal problems, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty is mediocre, leaving a lot of messes, if the little emperor wants to clean up, it will take a few years, as long as my Dajin can defeat Goryeo and Northern Liao in the past few years, I will have the strength to confront the Tang State."

"Wanyan Zongbi can get Mr., God really helps me, I don't know what position Mr. wants? Wanyan Zongbi will definitely be fulfilled. Wanyan Zongbi said with a smile.

Su Ji replied with a smile: "The prince has won the award, Su is a disciple of the Zongheng family, and the patriarch of the Zongheng family, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, once ranked as the foreign ministers of various countries, I don't know if the prince has cut love?" ”

Wanyan Zongbi asked with a question mark in his mind: "Sir, please forgive this king for not being good at learning arts, I don't know what official position this foreign minister is?" What are you responsible for? ”

Su Ji smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, you can understand it this way, the foreign minister is actually a sacrificial wine in the army, usually mainly responsible for receiving foreign envoys, and helping the master to give advice in wartime. ”

"Haha, this king understands, from today onwards, Mr. Su is the military advisor in our army, if you see the military advisor, if you see this king, do you understand?" Wanyan Zongbi immediately instructed the generals.

Su Ji chatted with Wan Yan Zongbi for a few more words, and then left the tent and went back to rest, Wan Yan Zongbi looked at the back of Su Ji leaving, and was secretly happy in his heart, Wan Yan Zongbi was suspicious, in fact, he had not relaxed his vigilance against Su Ji in his heart, even if Su Ji had made such a great contribution, and successfully predicted the matter of Yuyang Pass, until Su Ji proposed to him for the position of foreign minister, Wan Yan Zongbi began to believe in this person a little bit in his heart.

Because if Su Ji was really an undercover agent of Tang Guo, he would never want such a position that seemed to have unlimited scenery, but had no real power.

At this moment, Wanyan Zongjun ran in, Wanyan Zongbi handed over a bowl of mare's milk wine, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, take a sip of wine to warm up your body, and speak slowly." ”

After Yan Zongjun drank it all and then said: "Big brother, find out, the caravan that Su Ji often goes to is actually the person of the King of Chu of the Tang Kingdom, and now the King of Chu has been imprisoned by the little emperor of the Tang Kingdom, and those people have scattered as birds and beasts, I heard that some people have returned to the country, and some people have gone to Beiliao, anyway, no one stays in our Dajin." ”

"Hmph, this group of Han people still looks down on me Dajin." Wan Yan Zongbi snorted coldly.

"Big brother, don't be angry, a group of villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death, staying at home is also a scourge, it's better to get out of here, by the way, big brother, is Su Ji's kid credible now?"

Wanyan Zongbi nodded and said, "Eighty percent is credible, and the remaining two achievements will depend on the future." ”

"Well, is that brother going to be a guard for that kid now?" Wanyan Zongjun asked with a crying face.

"Go, go, you're losing this bet anyway." Wanyan Zongbi said with a smile.

"Bad luck, I didn't expect this little white face to have such ability." Wan Yan Zongjun muttered and left.

After Yan Zongjun left, Wan Yan Zongbi looked at the direction of Chang'an and muttered to himself: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that this king underestimates you, with you, this king will not be lonely in the second half of his life......"

Li Jun, who was far away in Chang'an, sneezed fiercely, and Xiao Mei'er, who was beside him, immediately asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you suffering from the cold?" Would you like to have the Imperial Doctor come and show you? ”

Li Jun rubbed his nose and said: "I am a half-assed doctor myself, whether I am sick or not, I still need others to tell me, don't worry, I am fine, I guess which shameless guy is scolding me behind my back." ”

"Who dares? Your Majesty is the true son of the dragon. ”

Li Jun suddenly took Xiao Mei'er into his arms and said with a smile: "Mei'er, this emperor is not omnipotent, there are more people in the world who hate me, because every reform of mine will touch the interests of some people, and you can't control it." ”

"Your Majesty has worked hard." Xiao Meier said softly.

Li Jun scratched Xiao Mei'er's nose and said, "Mei'er, I'm the emperor, I can't just enjoy it, I have to do things, by the way, what are you looking for me today?" ”

Xiao Mei'er replied hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Xiaoqing is also older, and now she is two meters long, and it is not suitable to stay in the palace again, do you want to ......?"

"Is someone gossiping?" Li Jun asked unhappily.

Xiao Mei'er hurriedly shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, don't think about it too much, it's like this, a few days ago, a few new palace maids were almost strangled to death by Xiaoqing, so the concubine thought about whether to send Xiaoqing out of the palace, and the concubine found a lot of beast masters and asked them to verify what kind of breed Xiaoqing was, but unfortunately nothing was found, the concubine also asked the people of Zhiluo Palace, those people only knew that Xiaoqing had entered Zhiluo Palace by herself, and then she was put in His Majesty's bedroom by Zhao Yuyan, and the rest didn't know anything. ”

Xiao Meier's worries are right, Xiaoqing is indeed not like ordinary snakes, whose snakes can grow to two meters in less than half a year, and Xiaoqing is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more white spots on his body, if Li Jun is not crossed over from later generations, like the ancients, he must also think that Xiaoqing is a mythical beast or a monster.

In fact, Li Junjue felt that the most reliable answer was that Xiaoqing had a genetic mutation, and there were many such animals in later generations.

Li Jun sighed and said, "Mei'er, you don't know that the most difficult time for me at that time was spent by Xiaoqing with me, so I really treat Xiaoqing as a relative." ”

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the concubine will not mention this matter in the future." When Xiao Meier heard this, she immediately pleaded guilty.

Li Jun picked up Xiao Mei'er and smiled: "Mei'er, what are you guilty of?" You're right, I can't just take care of myself, I also have to think about the people in this palace compound, so let's do it, my mausoleum has already begun to be built, I am going to send Xiaoqing there, and you can arrange a few old palace maids to take care of Xiaoqing. ”

"The concubine knows, she will do it tomorrow, and she will never let Xiaoqing suffer a little grievance, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Li Jun suddenly remembered one more thing and said: "By the way, I remember that there seems to be a hot spring in that area, it is better to arrange Xiaoqing in the hot spring, if Xiaoqing is unwilling to hibernate and the hot spring is warm, Xiaoqing will be better off this winter." ”

"Got it, Your Majesty, the concubines will be properly settled." Xiao Meier said with a smile and a smile.
