Chapter Seventy-Five: What's in This Auction?

The members of the Tibetan mission deliberated for a long time, and Van Gogh made a decision.

He said: "In order to prevent Murong Zun from negotiating peace with the Tang Dynasty, it is necessary to kill Li Ke, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and completely cut off Murong Zun's last chance to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty."

In order to accomplish this task, I decided:

1. Immediately send people to the army in Longde City, and secretly mobilize a group of warriors to come to Fu Qi City to carry out the assassination mission.

2. In order to prevent delays in the mobilization of samurai from Longde City, or not being able to come, the samurai were secretly recruited from among the Tibetan merchants who remained in Fuqi City to serve as a reserve for the assassination mission.

3. He asked to see Murong Zun again and proposed to increase Tubo's assistance to him, prompting him to make up his mind to make a complete break with the Tang people. ”

Great minds think alike. The thoughts of the Tibetan people and Li You are basically the same.

The palace of the city of Fuqi.

Li Ke and others were imprisoned in a side hall in the southeast corner of the palace, and the Tubo people treated them very favorably, except that they were not allowed to go out, food and other food were provided according to the customs of the Tang people.

Li Ke was very depressed. He was not afraid of death, and when he was attacked by the Tuyuhun people, he also fought the enemy with his sword himself. After being imprisoned, he did not do anything that disgraced the Tang Dynasty.

Still, he was depressed.

This time I came to Tuyuhun was originally a very pleasant thing. As a canonized envoy, he appeased Tuguhun for the imperial court and stabilized the western border, which is a great achievement. At the same time, taking advantage of this canonization opportunity to befriend Khan Murong Shun, it will also be a big help for Li Ke in the future.

It's a pity that his life is not good, not only was Murong Shun killed, but even he was taken hostage by the Tuyuhun people.

Seeing that Li Ke was in a bad mood, Quan Wanji persuaded: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this, it happened suddenly, and no one could have expected it." ”

Li Ke said discouragedly: "Shame, when you return to Chang'an, aren't you laughed at by those people?" Alas. ”

Quan Wanji smiled: "Your Highness, what is this?" This matter itself has nothing to do with you, and who is replaced is also the result. ”

Li Ke nodded and said, "Although the words are good, they are ......."

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said, "I sometimes really envy my fifth brother who is not stingy, he doesn't care about anything, but nothing else. ”

When Li You was mentioned, Quan Wanji looked embarrassed. He didn't want to take it, so he kept silent.

Li Ke and Quan Wanji were not worried about their safety, thinking that Murong Zun would not dare to do anything to them, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and when the imperial court sent to negotiate the envoys, they would soon be put back.

It's no wonder that Li Ke and others don't know the situation outside, they don't know that this coup d'Γ©tat has the shadow of the Tubo people inside, and they don't know that Gao Yong's army was almost annihilated. All they saw was the infighting among the Tuyuhun people, and they also knew that Murong Zun had left room for them and the Tang army led by Xue Wanjun.

Li Ke shook his head vigorously, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Fifth brother's unstinting energy, we can learn it, we should eat, sleep, and sleep." Be patient and wait for the court to send someone to negotiate. ”

Where did they know that real danger was coming.

That afternoon, Li You and the others came to the outskirts of Fu Qi City.

On the vast grassland, Li You lay on the soft grass, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, squinting his eyes, enjoying the bright sunshine and cool breeze of the plateau, breathing in the fresh fragrance of grass and trees, which was very pleasant.

He said to Hamid beside him: "Old Ha, the scenery of Tuguhun is really good, I have been in Chang'an City for a long time, I am suffocated to death, and I should have come out and walked away a long time ago." ”

Hamid rested his head on his arm, looked at the leisurely white clouds in the sky, and said: "Yes, the air in Chang'an City is really bad, and we will go out for a walk more in the future." Unfortunately, it's deserted, and it's hard to eat some good food. ”

Li You was also very sorry and asked, "Lao Ha, have you been to Fu Qi City, are there any special delicacies in it?" ”

Speaking of this, Hamid came to the spirit, he said: "There are a lot of special snacks in the city, lamb, stone roast lamb, steamed dumplings with noodles, and roasted catfish with garlic......

Hey, this garlic roasted catfish tastes really good, first of all, the catfish here is delicious......"

Hamid gushed as Li You's saliva began to trickle down and his stomach began to rumble.

Hou Junji's righteous son Hou Chen, Li Daozong's nephew Li Duan, Bai Hu and others listened to their nonsense on the side, feeling very relaxed, and there was no sense of pressure to go deep behind enemy lines at all.

Li You took out a few pieces of candy, handed one to Hamid, gave the rest to the White Tiger, put a piece in his mouth, and said:

"Lao Ha, don't look at the poor mountains and bad waters, there are treasures underground, there are coal, gypsum, quartz sandstone, clay ore, dolomite, bentonite, phosphorus, casting sand, pyrite, cast stone raw materials, etc., are all good things.

When the war subsides here, let's pull Murong Bo and that guy to make a fortune together. ”

Hamid said worriedly: "Murong Bo's strength is not as good as his uncle Murong Zun, can he beat him?" ”

Li You said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't look at Murong Bo's small nose and small eyes, there are a lot of eyes, Murong Zun is not his opponent." ”

Hamid and the others will be suspicious, and they don't know how Li You is so optimistic about this Murong Bo.

Li You is right.

Not long after Li You set off, Murong Bo also took action. He sent a large number of his cronies from the city of Fujucheng, disguised as different identities, and marched towards Fu Qi City.

What everyone didn't expect was that his next action was about to perform a well-known heroic legend.

In the evening of that day, Li You and the others, with the help of Hamid's cousin Agutai, entered Fuqi City.

Chang'an City, Liangyi Palace.

Huang Suxin received the holy decree and came to the Liangyi Palace. Li Shimin asked, "King Qi said that he was going to give me a large sum of money, what happened?" ”

Huang Suxin said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi said that he would hold an auction to solve the financial problem for the imperial court. ”

"Huh? That's great! Gao Jingming remembered the last auction of sugar distribution rights. When he heard that Li You was going to auction something again, he immediately became excited.

He asked, "Huang Shizhong, what is this auction?" ”

Huang Suxin said: "Your Majesty, please move outside the hall with all your lords, and you will know at a glance." ”

Li Shimin was very interested, stood up and said, "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

When everyone came to the courtyard, they saw Zhou Gan, the head of the Qi Palace, leading a group of eunuchs, carrying a lot of things, and were already waiting there.

When everyone saw Li Shimin, they saluted together.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Let's be flat." Huang Aiqing, what are they carrying? ”

Huang Suxin waved his hand, and Zhou Qian and the others took out a black stone from a large basket and handed it to Li Shimin and the others.

Zhou Qian said: "Your Majesty ......"

"Wait! Your Majesty, be careful! At this moment, someone shouted, jumped in front of Li Shimin, and protected him with his body.

Everyone saw that it was Ma Xuanliang, Li Shimin's head of the guard.

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Ma Xuanliang, what are you doing?" ”
