"King Gaochang." Lu Dongzan saw Zhang Xun and nodded. Yesterday in Honglu Temple, they had seen it. But as the prime minister of Tibet, he may not need to say anything about a small country like Gaochang, and now that he is tied up, he is somewhat embarrassed, and his attitude is a little cold.

"Father-in-law," Li Mu said hello, although he didn't salute, it was enough to surprise people. After Li Mu returned to Chang'an this time, he has always been in a posture of no one in his eyes, and Zhang Xun can be regarded as the first person he can see with his eyes.

Zhang Xun also felt that he had a lot of face, smiled cutely, and said, "What is this good son-in-law?" But there was a dispute? ”

Li Mu was about to speak, when a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said: "There are indeed some disputes, but it doesn't matter, since it is a friend of my father-in-law, let's let it go." ”

As he spoke, Li Mu waved his hand, and Jinyiwei untied Lu Dongzan's rope. Lu Dongzan rubbed his wrist that was strangled red by the rope, and looked coldly at Li Mu and Zhang Xun talking, seeing that Li Mu was leaving, Lu Dongzan said loudly: "Hou Ye just left?" It's too much to take Tubo seriously! Today's matter, I will make it clear in front of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can't give us an explanation, the two countries will meet each other in the future, and we can ......."

Before the threatening words were finished, Li Mu had already come to him, Lu Dongzan saw Li Mu's drunken gaze, and his heart tightened for no reason, but he still endured this feeling and continued: "Don't blame Tubo for not being emotional......"

"Smack!"

A mouth hit Lu Dongzan in the face. The sound was dull, like a drum. Everyone looked at it, and their hearts trembled, and they saw that their cheeks were swollen, how painful it was!

"You!" Lu Dongzan's eyes were red, and before he could speak, there was another 'snap', and Li Mu actually gave him another counter-pump!

"Teacher!" The Tibetan prince roared angrily, his eyes were about to split, and he was about to rush over. The brocade guards all drew their swords, and after a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xun's guards also pulled out their scimitars and pointed at the two of them.

"Great Look, huh?" Li Mu sneered: "It's really impossible to be a fool when Ben Hou is a fool!" Want to eat, right? Why didn't you come early, didn't come late, and forced yourself to break in when Benhou chartered the banquet? Do you dare to show off this little trick in front of Lao Tzu? ”

"There is a cloud in the art of war, and knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles. Since you regard Benhou as an opponent, haven't you done your homework? Use these words to threaten Lao Tzu, heh! Soldiers, huh? Okay, Ben Hou will chop you today, and see if Tubo Zampu will meet the Tang Dynasty soldiers for you! ”

"You!" Lu Dongzan panicked and said, "Do you know how many people will die if the two countries start a war!" The old man reminds you that you, you ......"

"Remind me of what?" Li Mu took the embroidered spring knife from Jinyiwei's hand, and approached Lu Dongzan step by step: "When Lao Tzu was slaughtering the city in Gaochang, what kind of threats had you not heard, what happened to me?" When will the soldiers come to the enemy water and come to the earth weir, when will the Tang Dynasty boy be threatened? It's just childish and ridiculous! Now that Datang and the Turks have formed an alliance, you Zampu will not dare to start a war with Datang unless you are crazy! If you really have the courage to do so, what are you doing withdrawing your troops? ”

"Who said that I withdrew my troops from Tibet, Songzhou ......"

"Okay, hit!" Li Mu rolled his arms and sleeves, like a battle between the two countries, like a brawl in the market.

"How can you ...... person" Lu Dongzan had never seen such a person in his life, he remembered what he said when he visited the eldest grandson Wuji a few days ago, and he faintly regretted it in his heart. The eldest grandson Wuji told him that Li Mu had no trace of what he was doing, and if he was not sure of victory, it was best not to provoke him. Because judging from past experience, as long as he is given a sigh of relief, he will be able to turn things around and turn defeat into victory. Today, Lu Dongzan and the little prince are indeed here to deliberately find fault, wanting to touch Li Mu, frustrate his spirit, and hope to take the initiative in the future negotiations. But I didn't expect that as soon as we clashed, the situation took a sharp turn.

No official in the Tang Dynasty dared to despise Tubo so much. Li Mu seems to be waiting, I can't wait for you to stir up trouble in Tubo, so as to give Datang a chance to enter the army and fight. Lu Dongzan couldn't figure it out, he had been in Datang for many days, and the news he got from the secret investigation was that Datang should not want to fight this year, and wanted to recuperate.

The matter of Gaochang started because of him, and he also did the slaughter of the city and the destruction of the country. Could it be that this person is murderous, looking at him like this, most of the time.

War......

Lu Dongzan didn't dare to say this, his own affairs knew that although Zampu nominally wiped out all the tribes on the plateau and was almost unified, the solution of external problems was followed by internal problems. In the process of exterminating the Quartet, several of Zampu's brothers have made great achievements. Several of them have posed a great threat to Zampu's power.

Zampu has only one son, which is the biggest hidden danger. As long as the little prince dies, Zampu will have no successor, and Zampu's throne will also fall into the hands of his brothers.

In private, Lu Dongzan has always assisted Zampu, and the family is also tied to Zampu. If his brother were to power, his family would also be purged. Yu Gong, the plateau is finally unified, if the little prince dies, several brothers compete for the position of Zampu, the plateau will be divided again, what will happen at that time, you can guess with your toes.

In order to save the life of the little prince, this time he came to Chang'an, and everything was not important in the quest he agreed with Zampu. The most important thing is to be close to each other, and to be close can consolidate the status of the little prince. With the strong reinforcement of the Tang Dynasty, no force in Tubo dared to move the little prince easily. It is best to leave the little prince in Chang'an, wait for Zampu to deal with his brothers, and then welcome the little prince back, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

And if you start a war with Datang, the whole plan will be frustrated. Don't say whether the war with the Tang Dynasty can be won, and whether Tubo will be destroyed, it's all between the two theories.

It's just, how did he know all this?

Could it be that he is really the rumored immortal, can he pinch it?

No! Lu Dongzan quickly denied this idea, the theory of immortals was originally in the Central Plains, he was a native of Tubo, and he did not believe in it. In a hurry, he wanted a terrifying possibility, could it be that Datang had already planted secret agents in Tubo?

It's scary to think about!

Li Mu didn't know what he was thinking, in fact, what he thought was very simple, if he could be the prime minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan must be a rational person, and he would definitely not put the two countries on the battlefield for this matter. As for my own side, my reputation is not good anyway, and no one will find it strange to do anything out of the ordinary. He didn't care anymore, the broken jar was broken.

But seeing Lu Dongzan's face change several times, Li Mu keenly found that he seemed to be thinking too much. This is interesting, Li Mu was in front of him, squinted his eyes, looked at Lu Dongzan contemptuously, and said: "If you want to ask for mercy, kneel down for Lao Tzu, give you three counts of time, if you don't kneel, I will kill you!" ”

When Li Mu said this, Changsun Chong and Li Tai suddenly became nervous, they thought that Li Mu was just scareting, and they were still in the mood to watch the play just now, but if Li Mu really killed people, the nature would change. Tubo is also a strong neighbor, if there is a real big war, the Tang side may not be able to deal with it, and it is not afraid, but it can be avoided, if it is because of drunkenness and trouble, it is really irresponsible, and it will also greatly damage Li Mu's reputation.

"Teacher, be cautious!"

From Lu Dongzan's expression, Li Mu had already grasped his thoughts, raised his hand to push the two away, and pointed the tip of the knife at Lu Dongzan's throat: "Three!" ”

"Master Hou, don't deceive people too much!"

"Two!"

The little prince roared angrily: "I fought with you!" ”

"One!"

Lu Dongzan knelt down, didn't say anything, and hit his forehead on the ground.

Li Mu laughed loudly, wanton and arrogant, threw the knife in his hand, and staggered back.

"Please come in, I haven't drunk all the wine yet!"

……

The news of the bad people quickly spread to the palace.

After Yuan Tiangang finished narrating, he said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Luoyang is becoming more and more reckless, and today's incident is an example. If he really misses and kills the Tibetan minister, the war between the two countries will definitely start, and at that time—"

"Yo, Daoist Yuan is talking about state affairs?" A gloomy voice sounded, and Gao Gonggong said with a smile; "When did Qin Tianjian also start talking about state affairs, was this from watching the stars at night last night, or was it calculated by divination?"

Yuan Tiangang looked at Gonggong Gao and said coldly: "This official did not discuss state affairs, but he was responsible for supervising the world for His Majesty, and he had to tell the truth. ”

"What a fact!" Gao Gonggong laughed sharply: "Look, the scene at that time, the little eunuch of Dongchang also saw it." But if he replied, how could he have some discrepancies with Yuan Daochang? ”

Li Shimin looked at Gonggong Gao and said, "How does Dongchang reply?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, that's how it went. A few days ago, Hou Ye asked all the news about the clothing, food, and sleeping of the Tibetan envoy in the Ministry of Rites, including who he met, etc., and in the following days, Hou Ye did not act. What does this mean? It must be in the middle of a strategy! And today, Hou Ye invited all the gate valves to a banquet, talking about shipbuilding, the Tubo prince and the Tubo prime minister, who had not gone out for many days, chose to go out today, but did not go to other places, and went to heaven and earth, and after knowing that Hou Ye had chartered the venue, he deliberately found fault, how could this be a coincidence? ”

Yuan Tiangang sneered: "It's not a coincidence, what can it be?" ”

"Although our family doesn't know how Hou Ye laid out, this matter is very clear, and it must be Hou Ye's plan to kill two birds with one stone!"

Yuan Tiangang said excitedly: "Father-in-law Gao, you think about it yourself, isn't what you said ridiculous?" There is no way to kill two birds with one stone! Today is a great luck, my subordinates can see clearly that Luoyang Hou is already drunk, and as soon as the tip of his knife is sent forward, the Tubo Prime Minister will die! ”

"What a blessing! Where's the luck? Hou Ye has always done things like this, walking on the blade, it seems to be dangerous, but in fact, he knows it in his heart and knows it in his heart! If it is lucky, there is a good luck, how can there be a good luck? You actually said that, our family has to wonder, what is your intention, don't you want to frame the Hou Ye? Yuan Tiangang, you are so bold! ”

"This officer—"

"Enough!"

Li Shimin interrupted the dispute between the two, waved his hand and said, "Let's all step down," after a pause, Li Shimin said again: "Gao Gan, send someone to pick up Li Mu, if he is drunk, let him sober up in the palace, and bring him to see me." I don't listen to you, but I ask him myself. ”

"No," /"No." ”

Gao and Yuan bowed, glanced at each other, turned around and retreated. Out of the hall, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but say: "Father-in-law Gao, what is the truth, you and I know it well, even if you are biased, you are too obvious, you are too stupid when Your Majesty is deaf, can't you see it?" ”

"Heh, Daoist Yuan, you can see that our family is favoritous, Your Majesty won't see it? I see that you are really a little lacking in your brain, Your Majesty can see but doesn't say anything, how about the Sacred Heart, isn't it obvious? You're so annoying! ”

Gao Gonggong said that, leaving Yuan Tiangang, who was stunned, ignored it, shook off the dust in his hand, and arranged for someone to pick up Li Mu. Yuan Tiangang looked at the back of Gonggong Gao in a daze, thinking back to what he said, and his heart became irritable.

His Majesty's trust in Li Mu is really to such an extent?

He subconsciously pinched his fingers, and the irritability came as scheduled, Yuan Tiangang gritted his teeth angrily, and turned to leave.

……

In heaven and earth, the guests have changed. After the merchants left, a group of 'rough people' came.

Looking at the dress of these people, some of them are brocade guards, and some of them are the costumes of the urban management brigade. Li Mu drank happily, and sent someone to call Fang Yiai and others over, and after they patrolled, they all came to heaven and earth to gather, in fact, he wanted to see how Li Chengqian had become.

Li Chengqian, alias Li Yu, has become a squad leader of the Chengguan Brigade. Among his group, he is considered to be in the upper middle class. I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Li Chengqian has been a lot more introverted, he doesn't see the smiling appearance of the past, he is getting darker and more disciplined.

His identity is not enough to sit next to Li Mu, but Fang Yiai remembered that Li Mu said that this Li Yu was his relative, so he arranged him in a position very close to Li Mu. Li Mu doesn't care, it's just that Li Tai and Changsun Chong are very awkward, they sit next to Li Mu, which is considered the main seat, but the prince accompanies each other below, like sitting on pins and needles.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen! Li Mu raised his angry gold bottle and lifted a glass of wine, and everyone also raised their glasses, but they didn't know why Li Mu mentioned the wine, and Li Mu didn't let them wait long, and quickly solved their doubts: "May I ask you, are you satisfied in this life?" ”

A sentence without a beginning or an end made a group of young people look at each other. The people on the side of the Chengguan Brigade all looked at Fang Yiai, but Fang Yiai was a person with developed limbs and a simple mind, and he didn't think about it so much at all, and after being stunned, he said: "Master Hou, is it that I haven't done well enough, or ......."

"No, well done, you guys, the chengguan did a good job!" Li Mu gave affirmation, but still asked: "What Ben Hou asks is, in this life, are you satisfied?" ”

"Master Hou, I don't understand-"

"Not satisfied!" A voice rang out.
