Chapter Ninety-Five: The Return
The so-called not being in his position and not seeking his own politics is really where Xu Qilin has scruples.
The emperor gave you a marriage, but the ministers of the court and the central government haven't said anything, and the emperor hasn't asked for your opinion.
Is this your business? Who do you think you are?
Now it is impossible to point fingers at the marriage, and if you want to advise, you can only start from the threat of Tubo to the Tang Dynasty.
As for Tibet, not many people, including His Majesty Li Er, know exactly the geography and political structure of Tibet.
The alpine region was an insurmountable obstacle for the Tang Army. This determines that in the Tang-Tu War, Tubo will be in an invincible position, at least there will be a condescending advantage.
If you can't defeat the Tang Army, people can retreat, and it is difficult for the Tang Army to overcome altitude sickness.
In other words, the Tang army could not symbolize the Eastern Turks and Gaochang, chasing after them and smashing the Yellow Dragon.
And the buffer between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun, is not Tubo's opponent at all. If Tubo defeats Tuyuhun, it is likely to pose a threat to the west of the Longyou River, and it is not impossible to cut off the Hexi Corridor.
Well, I finally transferred to Hexi and had some contact with Xu Qilin, which is not "not in his position and not seeking his politics".
Even so, it was not so easy to convince His Majesty Li Er that Tubo would be a threat to the Tang Dynasty. Although this is true historically, it did not wait many years.
Alas, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven!
Xu Qilin felt that he was worried too much, and he was really tired of himself. I'm not the emperor, what are you doing around the bush and messing around?
Instead of worrying about the future, it is better to do the work in front of you.
Even if it is to promote cotton planting and increase agricultural production and income, it is also a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. The national strength has increased, what are you afraid of Tubo and Goguryeo?
"Ah Lang-" Ah Ke lifted the curtain, and this salutation made Xu Qilin guess that it was Xiao Ye.
Ake has always been only called Xu Lang, and only Xiao Ye follows Scarlett and Adjani to call Alang.
Xu Qilin approached the vehicle and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Ye frowned slightly and said, "Sister said that the yin qi in front is very heavy, so it's best not to spend the night there." ”
Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look into the distance, estimated the distance and direction, he probably understood, nodded and said, "Just stop and rest, and go over tomorrow during the day." ”
Although Daya can't be exposed to the sun, she is sent in the jade jue and worn on her chest by Xiaoye. In a cloudy day or in the car, you can still communicate with the night.
And before she said, Xu Qilin judged that it was the direction of Jiucheng Palace. Because of the construction of this palace, the people died of exhaustion, and the resentful spirits gathered, which also makes sense.
Even if it passes, nothing may happen. But Xu Qilin was not afraid, but he was worried about Scarlett and others.
It's always right to be careful, and I'm not in a hurry to go back to the capital anyway. Xu Qilin ordered the convoy to rest in the nearby Didian, so that there was no need to continue on the road for half a day.
When night fell, Daya appeared to see her and told Xu Qilin that it was not that she was yin, but that there were treasures buried nearby, and she was going to dig them out and leave them for Xiaoye.
Although he is very generous, Xiaoye spends money very casually, but in the end he uses someone else's. Xiao Ye may not feel it, but Daya feels that it is not so reasonable.
Xu Qilin also understood this, and after dinner, he called the second room and went to the place where Daya was optimistic to dig for treasures.
Xu Qilin has always been very curious about why Daya can see the buried belongings, and he has also asked what the method is. Daya just smiled faintly, saying that it was talent and cultivation, and Xu Qilin couldn't learn it.
Anyway, his net worth doesn't care about any hidden treasures, so Xu Qilin doesn't take it seriously.
"Wangqi-" Fang Er was ignorant that there was a female ghost beside him, and after listening to Xu Qilin's nonsense, he still believed it, and said, "Then do you think I can practice to this level?" ”
Xu Qilin pursed his lips and said, "Who knows, I haven't practiced either, I just stopped digging and trying when I saw the mark made by my teacher." ”
Oh, Fang Er shrugged his shoulders, although his heart was hot, he was probably ready to give up.
In the silence of the night, the sound of horses' hooves was very loud. Xu Qilin pretended to look around, but he was listening to Daya's instructions.
Coming to the side of a towering tree, Xu Qilin got a clear instruction, jumped off the horse, dug twice on the ground, and said with a smile: "This is it." ”
Fang Er laughed, stepped forward to dig, and teased: "If you make a little more effort, let's meet and divide half of it." ”
"Give him half." Daya answered in Xu Qilin's ear quite simply.
Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said in his heart: What about me, do you work in vain?
"Divide half of you, you dig it all." Xu Qilin simply picked his son and found a place to sit next to him.
Fang Er didn't complain, and said with a smile: "No problem, I'm just in a hurry today, and I haven't exercised yet!" ”
Xu Qilin didn't use the soul detention order, he was already blinded by the black light, and then looking at the ghosts and shadows swaying, it was really not a pleasing thing to the eye.
Out of sight and out of mind, Xu Qilin is the same as Fang Er, all ghosts do not exist.
Just as he was watching Fang Er exercising, Daya suddenly reminded in his ear: "Be careful, there are ghosts approaching." ”
I'm going, is this here to rob the treasure? Xu Qilin hurriedly transported the Soul Detention Order to his right eye and saw Daya beside him. Looking at her gaze again, I couldn't help but squint my eyes, and my hand pressed the handle of the waist knife.
The masked ghost had floated ten meters away, but those eyes made Xu Qilin unforgettable for life. That's right, it's the assassin.
Looking for you and you can't find it, but send it to the door?
"Is that him?" Daya also knew the general appearance of the assassin, so he couldn't help but ask.
Xu Qilin nodded, just about to draw his knife and take a step. Daya had already said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask him." ”
It's okay, the communication between ghosts, don't worry about Fang Er hearing it. Xu Qilin was still vigilant, but he didn't move again.
As for Daya, it's not your average ghost. I have the method of cultivation, and I have the nourishment of the soul detention order, and I can survive in the ghost world for so many years, so I am naturally not afraid of a new person, well, a new ghost.
Sure enough, when Daya approached the past, Xu Qilin saw that the ghost showed a look of fear, but he still held on.
This guy is really dead, so the purpose of coming here is not to find himself to avenge him, right? Xu Qilin couldn't help but be a little amused when he thought of this reason.
But the result really made him guess it.
Daya flew back and said with a smile: "This guy was killed, and he was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. When you see me with you, you want to tell you who is the mastermind and avenge him through me! ”
Xu Qilin sneered, this guy just saw Daya, but he didn't know that he could see ghosts and communicate with ghosts.
"What do you think?" Daya asked on the side: "Anyway, this guy is dead, if you don't get rid of your hatred, let him be wiped out." ”
As he spoke, Daya raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "What's the matter, do you want to see my methods?" ”
Xu Qilin smiled, shook his head slightly, and said, "Let him say the name of the mastermind, I can spare him from dying......"
After saying this, Xu Qilin felt a little awkward and a little funny, everyone is dead, can you kill again?
Daya pursed the corners of her mouth, stifled a smile, and floated over.
I'm talking to the ghosts here, and I'm digging hard over there. I only heard the sound of "dang", as if I had dug up something hard.
Fang Er screamed, working harder and harder, and the shovel was happy.
Xu Qilin felt that there was nothing wrong with Daya's side, so he walked to the edge of the pit and picked up a shovel to help.
A stone slab was dug out by the two of them, and two jars were placed underneath. Fang Er laboriously took them out one by one, and Xu Qilin continued by the pit.
This weight, if it is gold, is really enough wealth for Xiaoye to live happily for a lifetime, no wonder Daya is moved.
Xu Qilin tried to remove the soil from the mouth of the altar, but Fang Er climbed up but was impatient, and smashed the altar with a spade.
Gold and silver treasures, well, that's the best way to describe it. It's just that it may have been buried for a long time, and the gold and silver have lost their original luster.
"Amazing, powerful, with this hopeful technique, it is difficult not to get rich." Fang Er was amazed, took the bag from the horse's back, and began to put it inside.
Xu Qilin turned his head, and Daya had already floated to him and nodded firmly at him. When I looked up again, the Assassin's ghost was gone.
……………
Daya not only revealed the name of the mastermind behind the scenes, but also the name of the assassin. As long as Xu Qilin is willing, as long as the ghost does not die, he can use the soul detention order to arrest this guy at any time.
But Xu Qilin didn't react immediately, just gave the money to Fang Er, and he didn't take a penny.
Fang Er refused left and right, it was just a joke, Xu Qilin took it seriously, which made him very embarrassed. In the end, he only accepted part of the gold and silver, and did not want anything else.
Xu Qilin put away his belongings and prepared to exchange them for gold collars and silver cakes after arriving in Chang'an, and then handed them over to Xiaoye.
Although Daya's words are not true and there are many concealments, he still believes in Xu Qilin's character. She knew Xu Qilin's net worth and didn't care about the money.
Of course, in order to express her gratitude, she also asked Xu Qilin to take care of her sister, and she also told Xu Qilin a method.
"Can't you be generous and tell me everything you know?" Xu Qilin has a lot of complaints about this, and it is not as real as Xiaoye at all.
Daya also knew that Xu Qilin had complaints, and it was even more difficult to offend him, so if he was possessed in the future, he would have to rely on Xu Qilin!
"Actually, it's not that I'm stingy, it's that it's useless to tell you something, and you don't have that ability." Daya explained with a smiling face: "If you tell you in advance, you won't be able to do it quickly." ”
Xu Qilin rolled his eyes, not wanting to see this guy anymore. It's true that I tossed for half a night and hurried to sleep.
The rest of the trip is getting faster, and Scarlett and Adjani are homesick. At first, I didn't think it, but when I was close to Chang'an, the thoughts of the two girls suddenly changed.
After all, I have been in Chang'an for the longest time, and the house and personnel are all familiar, and the feeling of reunion after a long absence suddenly came up.
But even in a hurry, the convoy was not moving much faster.
It seems that he feels the mood of the master, and he also seems to be aware of a familiar place, and Xiao Qi and Xi Xi are also restless.
Xu Qilin's harrier eagle still looked calm, sometimes stopping on his shoulder, sometimes landing on the roof of the car, and the old god was watching around.
"Do I have enough money to buy a house outside Chang'an City?" Fang Er began to be in a daze, or rather, stunned, and suddenly asked about buying a house.
Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment and said: "You have a problem, you are neither married, nor separated, what do you mean by living alone?" ”
Fang Er grinned and said, "It's not like imagining that you are so free, it's really tight at home." ”
Xu Qilin shook his head and said, "This thing will definitely not work." Stay, you still have to live at home. Occasional play outside is a good idea. If you really want to be free, I'm afraid you'll have to go out and be an official. ”
"But in addition to fist and foot kung fu, there is nothing else!" Fang Er scratched his head, and began to worry at this time.
Xu Qilin touched his chin and thought about it, and said, "I can't do anything else, you can make it up!" For example......
Fang Er stared at Xu Qilin with big eyes, and he didn't say anything for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask, "You said it!" ”
Xu Qilin also grinned and said perfunctorily: "Let me think about it, if you want to talk about you, it's really hard to make up." ”
"You must think about it before you go to Chang'an." Fang Er said: "If you don't want to, I will live in your house, and I will follow you every day to see if you are annoyed." ”
"It's not a day or two to live in mine and eat mine." Xu Qilin snorted, not taking this threat seriously at all.
Seeing that Fang Er was in a hurry, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you must think about it, you stop first." If you don't let me be quiet, how can you come up with it. ”
Fang Er breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be better for Xu Qilin to calm down and stay away. Thinking so, and doing so, he turned around and went to the front of the convoy to open the way.
Xu Qilin was also very distressed, Fang Er, this guy really has no other specialties except for his muscles.
Not only is he simple-minded, but he is also less literate, and he is an official, what do you let him do? You can't be a bodyguard for a certain prince because of your good martial arts, right?
After thinking about it, Xu Qilin had an idea. It is still necessary to play the name of Lu Yu, and then follow the thoughts of His Majesty Li Er, so that Fang Er can get what he wants.
What His Majesty Li Er has in mind, not to mention anything else, it is definitely right to attack Goguryeo. Regarding the preparations for this great operation, His Majesty Li Er will definitely agree.
The difficulties in attacking Goguryeo were the preparation and transportation of grain and grass materials, and the cold climate.
It is estimated that the preparation of grain and grass materials will be solved by operating Hebei Province, and the cold climate will require coal and cotton clothing.
If you want to say that Fang Er will farm the land and run the place, the ghosts will not believe it; Digging coal, this guy has the strength, but he doesn't need to do anything! It's even more impossible to wear cotton clothes, and it's too inconsistent to have big thick hands and needles to work.
Xu Qilin scratched his head, this room is really a headache. Why can't you do anything, except for fists and kicks and cuckolding, you can't show your hands?
