It is said that it is inconvenient to do anything in Datang, but as long as you have the heart to make a lot of money, there are many things that you can still start. In the past four years in the Tang Dynasty, on the bright side, Garqinling has always dealt with those verbose Tang officials, but behind the scenes, he has sprinkled countless gold and successfully done a lot of things.

His contact with Tubo was unimpeded, he had a deep understanding of the situation in the Tang Dynasty, and he was even more aware of the intentions of the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Crusade. Therefore, while Datang is deploying troops in the east, he must go back, and he can only succeed and not fail!

When he left Beijing this time, he pretended to be a merchant in the Western Regions, and the guide was real, and most of the entourage were real businessmen who were used to the road in the Western Regions, and the preparation was seamless. But in order to divert the attention of others, he still deliberately found someone to make a lot of things happen in Luoyang City, where the emperor and queen are now, and even used a lot of money to buy off some outlaws, pretending to be Chen Shuo and the rest of the party to make trouble.

Datang's top and bottom taboo internal troubles are better than external enemies, as long as they hear Chen Shuozhen's three words, they will definitely have no time to be distracted!

There are many routes to choose from from Xijing Chang'an back to Tibet, but there are only two options he needs to choose: one is to pass through Jiannan, and the other is to take Longyou. It was fast to go to Jiannan, but he was a little reluctant; And go back to Tubo through Hexi, because it has to pass through the Western Regions, the military defense of the Tang Dynasty will not pay too much attention to the merchants of the Western Regions, and at the same time, you can check the current situation of Tuyuhun, Liangzhou and the Western Regions, where Tubo is determined to win.

He believes that the reason why Tubo has not been taken in the past few years is definitely not because of the civil strife in the country, but because he does not want to take it for the time being. As long as Tuyuhun is taken, the Tubo army will be able to march to the Western Regions, and the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty will be at your fingertips, so why rush for a while?

It's just that since he returned to the west without permission. Even if you are dressed as a businessman, it is inevitably too risky to enter the city. So he only replenished his food and drink when he passed through the town, and spent the rest of the time galloping on horseback. Because he had hidden more than two dozen fine horses in advance, they were outside Chang'an City. Along the way, he changed horses and did not change people, but he had already reached the boundary of Yuanzhou.

"Master, it's not good, four or five horses are suddenly out of order!"

When he was resting in a small town near Yuanzhou, Qinling heard such news, and his brows furrowed tightly. When he returned to the west, he prepared his mounts according to the standard of three horses per person, because there were too many of them to arouse suspicion, and he even used empty cargo bags on the back of the horse to camouflage. At this time. He immediately went to check it out with his entourage, and one of them, who was a man with a deep understanding of horses, immediately pointed out that it was very likely that someone had drugged the forage.

This surprise was not trivial, and a group of Tubo people were all stunned, after all, it was impossible for them to change horses all the time like a post station. This man can eat and sleep right away. But the horses must be stopped and fed well. So resting for two hours a day is almost a must. If someone does something to the forage, then it doesn't mean anything. Not only may the escape route be leaked. And there may be spies among the companions?

"Leave those horses behind, this is the case. We can't learn from those Central Plains people who are always suspicious! ”

Although there were many doubts in his heart, and even a vague bad premonition, Qin Ling still calmly threw out such a sentence. As a result, the half-hour rest that had been scheduled was greatly shortened, and after feeding the other horses with drinking water and forage, the group immediately set off on the road in the direction of Liangzhou almost without stopping.

And Qin Ling has begun to regret his initial decision - he is too big, if he takes the South Sword Road, he will be able to enter the territory of Tubo in two days, and there will be no such big twists and turns.

At this moment, the culprit who caused Qinling's suspicion was sandwiched between Li Xian's group and led the way. Since someone is willing to lead the way, Li Xian doesn't care at all about the heart of this Tubo boy named Gong, in this Tang Dynasty, he is still afraid that people will turn over their palms and fail? However, when he chased everyone out of Chang'an City with a burning fire, the holy decree from Luoyang also arrived.

Liu Xiangdao, who was seriously ill, listened to Wang Fushun read the holy decree, and almost didn't recite it all at once. He had just learned about the escape of Qinling in Tibet, and the official in charge even found a letter written by Qinling himself, which was euphemistically worded, saying that his father was in danger and had to return. But the letter returned to the faith, and he was ordered to stay in Chang'an, Xijing, but such a thing happened, and the responsibility was naturally heavy. However, compared to Li Xian's reckless catching up, that responsibility was nothing at all.

This kind of trivial matter of passing the decree was originally responsible for the internal servants and Yulin Army, however, this time the stakes were very high, and Wang Fushun had to go through it himself. When he heard that Li Xian had chased people out of Chang'an City with people, he couldn't help but feel that his eyes were dark, and he almost followed in the footsteps of Liu Xiangdao.

"I heard that when His Royal Highness King Pei was leaving, he left the first horses in the place of King Pei in Andingfang, and they all changed to healthy horses. With the seal of King Pei, the post stations along the way must not dare to stop the land, and now it is ......"

Seeing Liu Xiangdao sighing while speaking, Wang Fushun was also depressed. He chased after him so quickly, but he still didn't catch up with Li Xian, how could he explain to the two supremes this time? This Li Xian is really too willful, just to avenge those two, so he also asked for a decree to say it - then again, isn't there no evidence, why does this master think that those vomits

Li Xian was born with a stubborn temperament, and he would not let go of things when he saw them, so at this time he only recognized one thought, that is, he must chase those Tubo people back! However, if it weren't for a tribute who overheard the arrangement of the Qinling, I was afraid that he would be the emperor Laozi, and it would be difficult to find a disguised Qinling in the vast sea of people and a formal guide.

At this time, Li Xian and his entourage, who had not rested for several days, were reorganizing in Weizhou City. Chasing back and forth along the way, Li Xian still had an extra mind, and prepared a large number of official documents covered with the seal of Zhongshu Province in advance, and sent them all the way, all of which were for the government to assist in investigating suspicious merchants in the Western Regions along the way, and by the way, they reported to neighboring states and counties. At this moment, although the group is all dusty and darkened, they are all in high spirits.

Cheng Bohu carried an axe and played it twice, and suddenly asked, "Liulang, how far do you say we are from them?" Because of the weight of this axe, he was stunned to pull a horse to carry a weapon.

Although he was eager to catch up and break Qinling's corpse into thousands of pieces, and there was a tribute to lead the way, Li Xian was still not completely sure whether he could catch up with Qinling. The only hope is to mobilize the power of the government and the people to intercept people, and after interception, it is no wonder that he declares a personal vendetta!

"We set off at least three or four hours later than they did, and although there were stagecoaches, it was hard to say if we could catch up."

Xue Dingshan saw that Li Xian was still gritting his teeth there, so he simply took over the conversation, and then looked at Yao Yuanzhi, who was silent on the other end, and then asked Sheng Yunwen: "Brother Sheng, you once stayed in the area of the Western Regions of Longyou, according to you, why do they want to go far and near?" This side is closer to Tuyuhun, and farther away from Tubo! ”

"Maybe he wants to go to the Western Regions?" Sheng Yunwen jumped out of a sentence very uncertainly, and immediately shook his head, "I can't guess the thoughts of those Tubo people, but although we have determined the route like this, it is really unlikely that we can catch up with them like this." But as long as we go to Liangzhou first and are under martial law in the Liang area, the Qinling Tomb will definitely have nothing to hide. ”

This is also Li Xian's goal. At this moment, he clapped his hands and stood up, glanced around, and suddenly showed a bright smile for the first time in many days: "Everyone knows that it took a great risk to come out with me this time, but everyone still came out with me without saying a word, I'm really happy!" All in all, there are blessings and hardships, and I will definitely not let everyone suffer this time! ”

Li Xian said so, but the people below responded in an uproar, but no one took it to heart. Everyone knows that this time they will be unlucky, Cheng Bohu is full of indifference, Xue Dingshan has already come to his senses, Yao Yuanzhi is worried that he is not in the matter, and the five guards are in line with the idea of dying as a confidant, as for Sheng Yunwen...... He couldn't tell for what reason he was messing around with Li Xian like this, according to reason, he, the personal guard who belonged to the in-law house, should report to the Son of Heaven first.

At this moment, because of Li Xian's private move, several masters of Luoyang Palace were also furious about it. Li Zhi, who had a gloomy face, immediately issued an edict to chase after him as soon as he heard the news, who knew that this son ran faster than anyone else, and the person sent to announce the decree couldn't stop him. In the next few days, officials from Longzhou, Weizhou, Yuanzhou and other places came to ask in fear what was going on with the so-called investigation of merchants in the Western Regions, which made him even more angry.

However, when he ordered Helan Yan and Qu Tu Shenruo to be brought into the palace, and saw the scars of the sharp blades on their bodies, his annoyance at Li Xian immediately turned into an anger that the majesty of the king was touched.

"Your Majesty, Xian'er is certainly impulsive, but if you see Yan'er and their injuries like this, you can't be angry, I'm afraid you won't be a man! Tubo is located in the northwest, it is indeed a great disaster, taking advantage of Erqinling's private return to the west, ordered Liangzhou to raise the guard, outsiders have nothing to say, even Tuyuhun there, also have to send someone to report. ”

Empress Wu's words were reasonable, and the crown prince Li Hong also agreed, and Li Zhi finally nodded. However, it was not a way to let Li Xian and the prince run all the way to Liangzhou, and the family discussed for a while, and finally Empress Wu came up with an idea.

"Originally, he waited for Xian'er and the crown to be changed later, but now he made an order to change him to the king of Yongzhou, serve as the pastor of Yongzhou, and grant him the governor of Liangzhou. Since he was the governor of Liangzhou, when General Su died, he went to Liangzhou to sit in town, and outsiders had nothing to say. ”

Is that okay too? The dumbfounded Li Hong looked at his thoughtful father, and sighed secretly in his heart for a while-Sixth brother, your luck is really good!

PS: After reading more information, I feel more and more deeply afraid of Wu Zetian, a woman. After ascending the throne and becoming a female emperor, she killed Pei Yan, the former right-hand man, Liu Yizhi, the head of the Beimen bachelor's who had been giving her the edict, and the generals Wang Fangyi, Cheng Wuting, and Hei Tooth Changzhi, who she promoted herself, were killed, and the old Di Renjie almost killed the cool officials, and so on and so on, and even the always well-behaved son Li Dan and daughter Princess Taiping were in danger. I have to say that after ascending the throne, Wu Zetian and before ascending the throne were incomparable.
