Chapter 320
But such a calm tone made Li Wenyuan feel a little bad. In Li Wenyuan's memory, every time Qiu Niang used this tone to speak, it meant that Qiu Niang's anger had reached a certain level. It's not like saying a few kind words and giving some small gifts can be coaxed. If the ranking official doesn't know what kind of emotion it is, then the closest thing is how you feel in a girl's heart after you tell her to drink more hot water.
So after hearing Qiu Niang say this, Li Wenyuan could only reluctantly give up his plan to jump out of the window and escape, put the booklet in his hand on the table, cleared his throat and said to Qiu Niang: "Ahem." I...... I didn't mean it, it all happened for a reason. Qiu Niang, do you believe me in this situation...... I can solve this situation......"
As soon as Li Wenyuan's words were halfway through, Qiu Niang waved her hand and signaled Li Wenyuan to stop talking. After all, it was he who took the blame first, so Li Wenyuan obediently closed his mouth and waited for Qiu Niang's fate. I saw that Qiu Niang really didn't know where to take out a stick of incense, ignited it with the candle next to it, and inserted it in the incense pot. said to Li Wenyuan in front of him: "I'll give you a stick of incense." His Royal Highness King Tang, if you haven't returned these pamphlets to their original positions after a stick of incense, then you know the consequences. When the time comes, don't blame Qiu Niang for being ruthless and not remembering the old love. ”
After listening to Qiu Niang's words, Li Wenyuan felt a chill. Then I didn't care about saying anything more to Qiu Niang. Glancing at the incense candles that kept emitting green smoke, he hurriedly put the messy books thrown on the table back to the shelves one by one, and arranged them neatly in the previous order. After lighting the incense candles, Qiu Niang turned around and left the study directly, without dragging the mud and water at all. Only Li Wenyuan was left sweating profusely, and he was alone in the house sorting out the messy bookshelves that he had turned over. Since Li Wenyuan only casually threw useless information on the table when he was rummaging before, and there was no rule to follow, it was not as easy to return to his original position as when he rummaged through the information before.
The incense candle gradually shortened as it burned, and Li Wenyuan was so busy that his nose and sideburns were already sweating, and he even wanted to give up. But when I thought of what Qiu Niang said before leaving, and thought of the very terrifying consequences that fell on me, I shuddered unconsciously. I had no choice but to grit my teeth and grab time with the incense candle, and finally put the last booklet back on the bookshelf a second before the last bit of soot of the incense candle was about to fall. At the same time, Qiu Niang happened to push the door and walked in. Qiu Niang saw that the bookshelves in the room were still a little tilted to one side, and her willow eyebrows were upside down, even if she wanted to preach to Li Wenyuan again.
Qiu Niang's preaching skills are counted in the entire Western Regions. Seeing that Qiu Niang was going to preach to herself, Li Wenyuan hurriedly raised the booklet on the table that was originally used for stepping feet, and said to Qiu Niang: "It's not that I won't put this back, I came to your side to find this thing." A few days later, the envoys sent by Liu Wuzhou to the peace talks will arrive in Dunhuang County. But so far, I don't know anything about Liu Wuzhou's situation, and I don't know what conditions he will put forward and where his bottom line is. Because the matter was urgent, I didn't tell anyone and came directly to you to find Liu Wuzhou's information. But who knew you would use something like this on the legs of a bookshelf? ”
"His Royal Highness King Tang, what you said is really biased. Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Sun Hua and Zhong Lishu, and so on are all small forces that His Royal Highness the King of Tang personally named and said that you can let go and don't care. You also know that Night Stalkers have a limited number of people, so you don't have as much intelligence gathering on these forces as you don't care about them. But. Qiu Niang's voice changed: "At this time, if you want to detain the charge of poor supervision on my head, then my Qiu Niang will definitely not follow." After listening to Li Wenyuan's words, Qiu Niang said coldly. Now in Qiu Niang's eyes, no matter what Li Wenyuan does, it seems that he is making excuses to prevaricate her, a woman is a woman after all. Even if she became the head of the largest intelligence department under Li Wenyuan, Qiu Niang was still a woman in the final analysis, and she was a little petty after all.
With the previous experience of this incident, Li Wenyuan also has a long memory, and he will not personally go to Qiu Niang's house to find any information in the future. Instead, if you need something, send someone to find Qiu Niang, or after Qiu Niang's consent, let someone find the intelligence information that Li Wenyuan needs. All in all, whoever likes to find it will go to it, anyway, Li Wenyuan himself will never get involved in all the items related to intelligence in Qiu Niang's hand again, isn't that making trouble for himself.
Seeing that Qiu Niangdi came over to get information, Li Wenyuan reached out and took it. Flip it open casually. I browsed through it at a glance, picked out the places I was interested in, and carefully studied them a few times, and then looked up and said to Qiu Niang: "It turns out that the reason for the different development of the Goguryeo people from the historical trajectory still falls on me in the final analysis." ”
According to the intelligence, the main reason why the Goguryeo people have not expanded outward before, one is that further northward is an inaccessible and bitter cold land, and even if they expand in the past, there is not much benefit and return, and even some areas that can be called negative returns. Therefore, since the emergence of the concept of state, no force in East Asia has been trying to expand northward, and everyone is expanding southward, and the Goguryeo people are no exception.
In addition to the north, to the east of Goguryeo is the endless sea, and on the other side of the sea is the mighty Japanese archipelago. Judging from the national strength of Goguryeo at this time, if an attack on the Japanese archipelago was launched, it was not yet known who would die in the end. Therefore, the only directions in which Goguryeo can expand are the west and the south.
To the south is the Han dynasty of the Central Plains, which has always been strong, and the thought of the Han dynasty in the Central Plains is prone to hundreds of thousands of people or millions of people every time it fights with foreign countries, such a huge scale makes every ruler of Goguryeo a headache, not to mention taking the initiative to launch an attack on the Han dynasty in the Central Plains. Therefore, the pace of southward expansion was also completely blocked.
And to the west are the extremely powerful nomads of the steppe, that is. Rabbit horns. You must know that even if it is as strong as the Han dynasty in the Central Plains, when the Turkic power is strong, it must choose to temporarily avoid the edge in the form of harmony. Not to mention the Goguryeo Dynasty, which had to weigh how many catties and taels it had for the Han Dynasty. At this point, all attempts to expand to the west were blocked. Therefore, the Goguryeo people have been quietly dormant like this, waiting for the best time.
