Outside the city, Bai Fan stood alone in front of the grave of Qingcheng elder Li Zheng.

"Elder Li, I haven't come to see you for many years, but I didn't expect that the first time I came to ask for your guilt.

Back then, you entrusted me to take care of your great-grandson Li Mingxin, who was only 14 years old, and I was ashamed to be a teacher and didn't protect him well. ”

After speaking, Bai Fan made a big salute to Lao Li Zheng's tombstone, and then took out the wine and meat in the food box, sat in front of the tombstone like this, drank cup by cup to the tombstone, and toasted a few glasses to Lao Li Zheng with the wine jar from time to time.

Just when Bai Fan was slightly drunk, Hong Qianli walked over with something in his hand.

"Master, this is something I found on the chest of Senior Brother Mingxin."

Bai Fan took it and looked at it, it turned out to be a note, which was the note left by Bai Sanmei when she sent the talisman at the time of parting, and there was only one sentence: The flowers on Mo are blooming, and they can be returned slowly.

"Hey, what is the situation in the world!

Qianli, bury your Mingxin junior brother next to Elder Li Zheng, and bury this thing with him.

Tell everyone that everything about the southwest should not be talked about with the third sister. ”

"So, what about Li Xinzhong? They are brothers, and they are buried together when they die and have grievances gone? Hong Qianli asked.

Bai Fan snorted coldly: "He? He has already betrayed his ancestors from house to house, and he is not qualified to be buried here.

Since he is the last lord of Tubo, then give him a decent funeral, according to the rites of the Tubo royal family, and be buried in the mausoleum of the successive lords of Tubo. ”

Two days later, there was a new tomb next to Elder Li Zheng's mausoleum, and the inscription was that the bad teacher Bai Fan erected.

After two years of hard fighting, the whole territory of Tubo was finally taken, for which the Tang Dynasty lost almost 10,000 troops, and the grain, grass, ordnance, and thunder consumed in the war were extremely huge.

The local army of Tubo was almost wiped out, and the population loss caused by the war also made Tubo even worse.

Of course, Tubo has a natural geographical advantage, the west is the big snow mountain that is difficult to cross by manpower, the south is the deep mountains and old forests, and the north is the Qiangtang Jedi.

Leaving Li Yuanji to lead troops to temporarily garrison and govern Tibet, Li Ji and Bai Fan and others returned to the Tang Dynasty, and in the future, the Tang Dynasty sent capable people to govern and rule Tibet, and then replaced Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.

Datang and others did not know that before the victory of the war, Li Xinzhong gave the seeds of the Western Turkic poppy and a batch of thunder, which laid hidden dangers in the northwest of Datang.

The Western Turks promised to receive benefits to help deal with Tibet in the periphery, but in fact it was completely deceitful, it had been two months, and there was no movement in the northwest.

There are more than 2,000 people in the Li family in Longxi, Bai Fan did not embarrass them, but he couldn't stay in Tubo to take root, so he was brought back to the Tang Dynasty and scattered all over the country to be dealt with as a farmer, although these people had nominally turned their backs on the Tang Dynasty, but as Li Mingxin said, they were just a group of homeless poor people.

A month later, Bai Fan and others went all the way non-stop, returned to Chang'an City, Tubo was destroyed, the Tang Dynasty had already been transmitted to Chang'an by telegram, following the pacification of the Northeast countries, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the southwest power, for a time the prestige of the Tang Dynasty has taken deep root in the hearts of the people, Chang'an City is full of lights to celebrate the victory, many people have talked about the small things of firewood, rice, oil and salt in the past, and turned to talk about the major military affairs, such as which country the Tang Dynasty will go to next and so on.

And after Bai Fan and the others returned to the city with a big victory, the direction of discussion in the whole Chang'an City changed, just because of one thing, that is, Lantian Hou's hair, why is it all white, what caused Hou Ye to turn white overnight? The grapevine is like a hurricane, and even if no one leaks it, some people speculate whether it is a loss of skill.

This is definitely not a good thing, although Bai Fan has a very high status in the hearts of the people, but under the fame, he is countless blood and fire enemies, without a peerless martial art, Bai Fan is like a tiger with teeth extracted, and many people will definitely be ready to move because of this.

After letting Li Ji help him push off the celebration banquet in the palace, Bai Fan went straight back to the Lantian Marquis Mansion alone, not because he was afraid of anything, but because this experience in the southwest made him physically and mentally exhausted, many unexpected things happened, many people died, and it was a great victory for the country to win Tubo, but Bai Fan was not much excited, but his heart was full of a sense of powerlessness.

Li Er held a celebration banquet, feasted Li Ji and everyone in Zhongnan Academy, rewarded him, and inquired in detail about Bai Fan and the wounded, and sent Lao Gao, an attendant, on the spot, saying that he would take the queen to visit in person.

Whether Li Er is true or false, at least this action makes people feel very sincere, but after the feast, before Li Er left the palace, someone came to the Council Hall to find him.

It was the Emperor Taishang, Lao Li Yuan, accompanied by Li Yuanba, who found Li Er.

"Father? Fourth brother?

I didn't know that the father was here, and the child was not welcomed. Li Er saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me.

Erlang, do you know why my father is looking for you today? Li Yuan asked as if he was taking the school exam.

Li Er was a little inexplicable, and suddenly his heart moved, and he replied: "Could it be that it is, for the sake of simplicity?"

Father rest assured, Jian Zhi came to this situation in order to save the life of the fourth brother, the child will definitely not forget such a great kindness, and I will send two thousand elite guards day and night to protect the Marquis of Lantian, and it will be fine. ”

Li Yuanba was instantly furious, "Second brother, you are too deceitful!" ”

"This, fourth brother, what are you? Where does this begin? Li Er was stunned.

Li Yuan stopped Li Yuanba, who was about to do it, and smiled: "Erlang, what kind of character are you, don't you know as a father?"

Who is Jane? Even if you don't have a martial art, do you need to send troops to protect you? The 800 martial arts guards in the hands of people can be used as the Xuanjia army, and it is enough to protect the homeland.

At this time, you said that you would send troops over, I'm afraid it wasn't for the sake of surveillance and control. ”

"I, my father, Emperor Mingjian, the child has no intention of doing this......"

"That's it, it doesn't matter whether you have this intention or not, and you can't mention the matter of sending troops.

As a father, he is also a person who has been an emperor, and it is difficult for my Li family to repay a great favor, and now he is in decline, as long as you, the emperor, will not kill the heroes in vain, and don't shoot at him, this is the intention of my father today. ”

Li Er was a little aggrieved, "Father, is it true that in your eyes, the child is the villain who waits to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

Jian Zhi is a great talent who has passed through the heavens and latitudes, and it is too late for children to reuse protection, how can they cause harm? ”

"Hehe, you have been with him for many years, you should understand that Jane is gentle on the outside, strong on the inside, extremely arrogant, and he is a person who cannot be restrained, and it is impossible for the methods of ordinary ministers and officials to be used on him, so don't be dazzled and make mistakes.

Without a body of martial arts, it is a blessing for Datang to be able to educate the next generation of Datang in the academy with peace of mind, and nothing else can be forced. ”

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, turned around and walked away.

Li Yuanba turned around and said: "Second brother, the junior uncle saved my Li Yuanba's two lives, from now on the fourth brother is his personal guard, whoever kills him, I will kill whom, and the Li royal family is no exception." ”

Li Er was speechless for a while, he really didn't have any bad intentions, Bai Fan had no martial arts, it happened to be safer for himself, and he still wanted to reuse it, what are you doing with this splitting your head and covering your face? And the fourth brother, good boy, dared to threaten the second brother who took care of you since childhood?
