Gonglu water, as the most important natural barrier in the Wolf Juxu Mountain, has an unshakable position in the hearts of these northern nomads, whether it is the Xiongnu, or the Turks, or the Uighurs, and even today's Huangjiasi, they are more accustomed to calling it "Gonglu Shui", and the Tang Dynasty prefers to call it "Yuqu River".

"Do you know what this water is called?" Pei Luo Khan asked, pointing to the surging river in front of him.

"Naturally, it's the Yuqu River!" Li Zhen replied.

Pei Luo Khan shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and said, "We prefer to call it Bow Lu Shui!" Do you know why? ”

"The foreign minister doesn't know, please show the Great Khan!" Li Zhen arched his hand and said.

In the end, Pei Luo Khan answered Li Zhen, but fell silent, his eyes still fixed on the other side, although he could not see anything clearly.

And Li Zhen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated at this time, although Pei Luo Khan did not say it explicitly, although he pretended not to understand, but this was just "pretending".

Li Zhen understood what Pei Luo Khan meant when he said this, and it was precisely because he understood that he was afraid, and it was precisely because he was afraid that he could only pretend not to understand.

"Ben Khan knows why you're here!" Suddenly, Pero Khan said quietly.

"Great Khan Shengming!" Li Zhenqiang squeezed out a smile.

Pei Luo Khan turned to look at Li Zhen, and then turned his gaze to the other side again, "The Xiongnu dominated the north and south of the desert for eight hundred years, and then was replaced by Xianbei, and the Xianbei clan then died in Rouran, and then the Turks reverted to Rouran, and the Turks died in Hui, who would have thought that the Hui Hui that had flourished for a hundred years at the time, and now it was destroyed by Ben Khan, the change of power in this vast desert, the rise and fall of dynasties, has always had its inherent rules, and no one can break this rule!" ”

Speaking of this, Pei Luo Khan smiled slightly and said, "Do you know what this rule is?" ”

"Dare to ask if this is the rule of the desert, or the rule of the Great Khan?" Li Zhen asked without thinking.

"Oh? Is it any different? Pei Luo asked with a smile.

"It's no different!" Li Zhen bowed and replied.

"Since there is no difference, why did your envoy ask such a question?" Pei Luo was a little curious, retracted his gaze and turned to look at Li Zhen again, although he smiled, he did not lose his majesty.

"Although there is no difference, in the eyes of the foreign ministers, what the Great Khan just said is only one thing, but not the other!" Li Zhen said softly, although Li Zhen at this time is much stronger than before, it is still a little thin compared to Pei Luo's strong body, but his upright posture is still like a sword, and he looks like a person, a person like a sword.

"Oh? You might as well tell me about it! Pei Luo said, his feet unconsciously took half a step back.

Li Zhen smiled slightly when he heard this, then raised his head and said: "The decline of the Xiongnu lies in the strong man, if there is no power of the martial emperor, there is no chance for Rouran; The defeat of Rouran lies in the Northern Wei Dynasty, if there is no Taiwu strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Turkic Ele Department is afraid that it will have to be enslaved for several years; Similarly, the death of the Turks lies in the four emperors of our dynasty, Taizong, Gaozong, Zhongzong, and Xuanzong. And the decline of the Hui lies in the ......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhen suddenly remained silent, but unexpectedly, Pei Luo said with a grim face: "Where is it? ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly when he heard this, lowered his head and said: "The Great Khan knows it, so why do you need a foreign envoy to break it?" ”

"Presumptuous!" When Pei Luo heard this, he was immediately furious.

Qiang –

Almost at the same moment, dozens of guards on Pei Luo's side drew their knives and surrounded Li Zhen, just waiting for Pei Luo's order, Li Zhen's head could be changed in an instant.

After seeing this, Li Zhen slowly raised his head and looked around, and then finally stopped his gaze on Pei Luo's face, although he smiled, but when his eyes met, it was clear that there was a killing intent in the middle.

"You're not afraid?" Pei Luo asked coldly.

"The foreign minister has never said anything, where does the fear come from?" Li Zhen replied with a smile.

"You're not afraid that Ben Khan will kill you?"

"If killing one of the ministers can make the Great Khan make up his mind, then what about the death of the ministers? Maybe you can get a good gift behind you! Besides......" Li Zhen was calm, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"How?" Pero asked.

Li Zhen looked at Pei Luo, and then said quietly: "Besides, the Great Khan will not kill the foreign envoy!" ”

Pei Luo froze for a moment when he heard this, and then couldn't help laughing, and at the same time waved his hand to signal the guards to step back, and said: "You are so cunning at a young age, you Han people are really blue!" ”

Li Zhen smiled, but didn't speak, because he wasn't sure what Pei Luo knew, so he had to wait for Pei Luo to speak first.

Sure enough, after a short period of silence, Pei Luo said: "My clan is after General Li Ling of the Han Dynasty, so my clan and the Tang Dynasty have always had a harmonious relationship, and it is precisely because of this that they have been repeatedly oppressed and bullied by the Hui people. ”

"Because the Great Khan now has a vast land in the north and south of the desert, because the Hui people are no longer worried, and because of the long-standing blood and family relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Huangjiasi clan!" Li Zhen replied without thinking, Li Zhen has always been handy with such things as sycophants, and he has never been happy.

Unexpectedly, Pei Luo didn't seem very happy after hearing this, and even his face looked a little gloomy.

"It's better to take back these flattering words, so that Ben Khan looks down on you!" Pei Luo glanced at Li Zhen and continued: "It is true that our clan and the Han people are connected by blood, but this is not the reason why Ben Khan is pro-Tang!" ”

"The Tang people are faithless and fickle, and the Hui are an example, and the Hui people played a particularly important role in quelling the Anshi rebels back then, but what about now? Aren't you watching it fall apart and become a slave? Even now, I don't forget to fall into the ground! Seeing the fate of today's Hui, it is inevitable that people will feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead, you Tang people have always liked to call us Yidi, but you have forgotten that the blood of the Tang Li family still flows with the blood of the Xianbei people, is this so difficult that it is not considered to forget the roots? ”

Pei Luo looked a little excited when he said this, and he could see that these words had been buried in his heart for a long time.

After hearing this, Li Zhen's heart was much calmer, because Pei Luo's words were the most true, but at the same time, they were also the most dangerous, if he was not a person who absolutely trusted, Pei Luo would never say it.

In Li Zhen's view, Pei Luo at this time is more like a complaining woman, rather than the Khan of Huangjiasi who shook the desert and bravely crowned the north and south.

Seeing that Li Zhen was always smiling and silent, Pei Luo said angrily: "Why are you laughing? Could it be that Ben Khan is wrong? ”

Li Zhen lowered his head slightly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The foreign envoy only saw the surface of the Great Khan when he laughed, but not the inside, or the Great Khan didn't want to see it at all!" ”
