"It's so fragrant, the skewers are grilled!" Xiao Zhao sniffled and laughed, the little appearance immediately lost the depth and maturity just now, jumped off the swing, pulled up his brother, and ran to the grill.

Xu Qilin also let go of his heart, greeted Scarlett with a smile, and Adjani, a snack who was already hungry and had round eyes and swallowed spittle, enjoyed the moonlight on the lotus pond and the good time of eating and drinking.

The same moonlight, sprinkled in different places, makes people feel different.

By the lotus pond, where the laughter is endless, it is bright and soft, quiet and far-reaching.

But in a large mansion in Chang'an, the moonlight also flowed quietly, but it looked miserable white and cold.

In the dark room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting several human faces flickering and dimming, like ghosts. And what they are secretly discussing is also an earth-shattering conspiracy.

"This is the layout of the Jiucheng Palace, as well as the surrounding terrain." Ashina spread out the map, and his cold voice did not have a trace of emotion, "I have already heard that His Majesty has the intention of going here to escape the summer, so I sent someone to investigate and drew this map in advance." ”

A young man looked at the map, swallowed his saliva, his face showed a look of cringe, and hesitated: "The defense of the royal car is strict, and we are few and lonely, can we make it happen?" ”

"A certain Zhonglang general, accompanying the guards, but the inside should be combined with the outside, how can there be any reason for failure?" Ashina despised his nephew for being cowardly and cowardly, but he was not good at stimulating him sternly, so he could only persuade him patiently.

The Eastern Turks had two khans, the Great Khan and the Lesser Khan, Jieli being the Great Khan and the Turki being the Little Khan. In the second year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er took advantage of the civil strife in the Eastern Turks and sent the general Li Jing to lead the army and destroy the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop.

It was at this time that the little Khan of Tuli surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was appointed as the governor of Shunzhou. And Ashina is Tuli's younger brother, who served as the general of Zhonglang and stayed in Beijing.

After Ashina joined forces with his brother Tuli to return to the Tang Dynasty, Tuli reprimanded him many times, held a grudge in his heart, and falsely accused his brother of rebellion.

After investigation, His Majesty Li Er confirmed that the association rate was framed, and he was very disgusted with him, and he "did not enter the ranks" for ten years.

After ten years as a lieutenant general, Ashina was resentful in his heart, and he actually had the idea of assassinating His Majesty Li Er. In the capital, the palace is heavily guarded, and he drives the Jiucheng Palace, which can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The young man who was a little cowering was Ashnaga Rahu, the son of the Turki Khan. After the death of the Turki Khan, He Luohu succeeded his father as the governor of Shunzhou, but in fact remained in Chang'an City and did not take up his post.

Last year, due to the annexation of the Turkic tribes of Shunzhou into Daizhou, He Luohu was dissatisfied with His Majesty Li Er, and after being co-opted and bewitched, he boarded his uncle's thief ship.

"There is both the association rate as an internal response, and the selected ones are all the elites of the clan, and under the surprise attack, they will be able to succeed." Another henchman joined the persuasion.

They had no choice but to support Holuhu as the new Khan. If they don't even have a leader, who will follow them?

After repeated persuasion, He Luohu reluctantly let go of his hesitation and decided to embark on this impossible path of return.

Ashina Association rate and assigned work, who will connect the clansmen, who will prepare the foothold near Jiucheng Palace, and who will survey the ferry north of Jiucheng Palace. Even the way back to escape has been thought out, and the association rate is really thoughtful and meticulous.

In the sixth, seventh, and eighth years of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er has been to Jiucheng Palace for summer vacation, and Ashina has been there twice with the car, and he knows very well about the defense of the Imperial Palace.

However, for the sake of prudence, the association rate did not immediately make a plan for assassination. After all, the real situation can only be determined after the emperor sets off, and he also has to adapt to the situation as he responds.

The plan has been decided, and Ashina will arrange for everyone to sleep in the mansion, leaving only his henchman Ashina Huadu to give a solemn and ruthless explanation.

"This time I did this big thing, I took a risk with my head, and the slightest mistake and negligence was a catastrophe for the family." Ashina's face was so gloomy that he could wring out water, and murderous words burst out of his mouth, "The people who contact the clan are hesitant and hesitant, and those who have the slightest trace of the two ends of the first rat must not stay." ”

Ashina Hua thought deeply and said, "What the general said is extremely true. After living in Chang'an for a long time, some clansmen have lost their ambition and fighting spirit, and some even do not hesitate to sell their clans for the sake of glory and wealth. In this important matter, you need to be cautious in choosing people, and you must not have the kindness of a woman, but if you are not safe, you can kill it. ”

Ashina nodded and said: "Killing people is a last resort, but you must do it cleanly, don't let people find traces, but you miss a big thing." ”

Ashina Hua thought for a moment and said, "Please ask the general to select the loyal guards in the palace to help a certain arm." ”

"Yes." Ashina said: "So and so I will choose a few people to do things with you, all of them are loyal dead soldiers." ”

……………

It's only a month, and the large hills in front of me are no longer barren, but there is still a big gap between them and lush greenery.

The fruit trees planted are still small saplings, thin and short, thin and sparse, but there are also a few green leaves swaying in the wind.

The most planted is the peach tree, the Guanzhong peach is a famous product, Xu Qilin loves to eat. Moreover, the peach tree has sparse branches, abundant flowers, and bright colors, and is still a good ornamental tree species.

Having money is easy to do, Xu Qilin believes in the reins, looking at this gratifying change, but he also expresses his own feelings.

After inspecting the hilly area, Xu Qilin came to his own field again, preparing to find an experimental field with better conditions and start planting flowers next year.

There won't be too many seeds in Nanlinyuan's cotton, but Xu Qilin can still buy it from merchants, and it will be so long before it is planted next year, maybe he will be able to buy some.

Unconsciously, Xu Qilin had already ridden to his own land. Separated by a row of slightly sparse trees as a dividing area, is the Chen family's field.

Comparatively speaking, the Chen family's fields are better than those of the Xu family, mainly because of the topography. The fields on the Xu family's side did not have the feeling of looking at Pingchuan.

But Xu Qilin didn't have much envy, the people of that era regarded the land as wealth, which was the limitation of their vision, and there was no better way to make money, so he couldn't be a big landlord.

The income from the land, while relatively stable, is not very rich. Take the ordinary yeoman farmer as an example, who owns a few acres or dozens of acres of land, and they are also considered small landowners. But apart from paying taxes, how easy is it to get rich and make a fortune?

Therefore, in addition to farming, most farmers also have to engage in some side jobs to increase their income, to maintain food and clothing, or to occasionally improve their lives.
