Li Qing walked into the big tent and saw Gao Xianzhi sitting behind a large table, looking at him coldly, neither speaking nor greeting, as if he was looking at a feud that he had never met.

Li Qing walked to the side seat and sat down, and said with a slight smile: "It's been nearly half a year since I left Master Guoyi, and the handsome doesn't seem to know me anymore."

"Not bad! I did not know you until now."

Gao Xianzhi's eyes flashed sharply, staring at Li Qing word by word and said, "Li Qing, you did a good thing behind my back!" ”

In the face of Gao Xianzhi's aggressiveness, Li Qing's tone gradually hardened: "I don't understand Gao Shuai's words, you might as well put it bluntly, what did I do behind your back?" ”

"Good! Good! Gao Xianzhi said hello twice, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let me ask you, why didn't you report it to me when Mo Hedu, the vice king of Shi Kingdom, arrived in Shushi Kingdom?" You folded to the court, why didn't you go through my eyes first? You are fighting with the Great Food Army, why can't I approve it? You did all this behind my back, don't forget, I am the right job in Anxi, and if you exceed your authority without authorization, beware that I will behead you for the crime of not obeying military orders! ”

Li Qing looked up to the sky and smiled: "I didn't expect Gao Dashuai to knife me!" ”

He slowly retracted his smile, and his eyes gradually became cold, "You are right, you are in charge of the Anxi position, so I can go to Shule to prepare for the war, and I can give you the commander of the Western Route Army, but don't forget that my official position is not only the deputy capital of Anxi, nor is it just the long history of Anxi, you have to think clearly, Lord Gao, I am not under you in any official rank."

Gao Xianzhi was taken aback, and then he remembered that Li Qing also had the title of Imperial Doctor. And he is only Yu Shicheng, one level lower than him, and he is now the pacification envoy of Anxi and Beiting towns, with the emperor's gift of the festival talisman, acting on behalf of the heavenly order, he didn't mention it, he really forgot.

Gao Xianzhidi's face was red and white, his chest rose and fell violently, and his red eyes stared at Li Qing as if he was about to drip blood. Suddenly, he smiled grimly. He walked to the tent curtain and shouted, "Bring someone to me."

Xi Yuanqing, who had been standing outside the tent, was startled, he had been with Gao Xianzhi for five years. But it was the first time to see him so angry, he couldn't help but feel deeply worried about Li Qing, after all, he was too young, he shouldn't have seized power without authorization in Xiao Bolu, although Gao Xianzhi didn't say it, but he hated it in his heart, how can he get along with him in the future?

Moment. Gao Xianzhi's personal soldiers brought one person and waved his hand to Xi Yuanqing, signaling him to leave quickly, Xi Yuanqing was shocked when he saw this person, and he stood there for a moment. He turned around sharply and walked quickly towards Li Siye's big tent.

The leather curtain was lifted, and two personal soldiers escorted one in. Li Qing looked sideways, his eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of anger, and he slowly stood up, this person was actually Che Bishi, the former king of Shiguo who he ordered to escort into Beijing, he was brought back by Gao Xianzhi again, what did Gao Xianzhi want to do? The big war is coming, does he want to make waves again?

"Master Gao, the Great Cannibal is already preparing for battle, and what do you want to do?"

"Big cannibal is a fart!"

Gao Xianzhi smiled coldly, squinted at Li Qingdao: "The emperor ordered me to teach those Western Regions Hu who dared to betray the Tang Dynasty, of course, including the great food that does not know the height of the sky, I want to act according to the emperor's will, if you are afraid, go back to Chang'an!" ”

He pointed at the car and said in an unquestionable tone: "This person told me that Vice King Mo He has colluded with Da Shisu, and the envoy of the Tang Dynasty is greedy for his daughter's beauty, and he actually helped him launch a coup d'état, ignoring the interests of my Datang land, this matter is very important, and Ben Shuai must go to Shiguo to interrogate clearly, who is the one who betrayed the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Qing took a deep breath, he stood up, his waist straight, and said clearly and calmly: "Lord Gao, if you want to go your own way, I won't stop you, but you have to remember that the Great Food Territory is thousands of miles, as powerful as my Tang Dynasty, and it is by no means the same Hu State as the Western Regions, they have been plotting the East for a long time, if you underestimate them, once you make a big mistake, you will become a historical sinner!" ”

After speaking, he opened the tent curtain and strode away, Gao Xianzhi walked to the front of the tent, and saw Li Qing's figure gradually disappearing, before he said to himself: "I, Gao Xianzhi, decided to do things, can you be intimidated by a few words?" ”

He turned back to his soldiers and whispered, "Go and tell the people of Grolu that they can take as much as they can from the goods of the Stone Kingdom, but they must not make a noise."

"Marshal, will we still enter the Broken City?"

Gao Xianzhi shook his head gently, he stared at the west, and said after a while: "Order Li Siye to lead the infantry and archers into the broken city according to the original plan, and the cavalry will follow me to Shiguo, and set off at dawn tomorrow!" ”.........

When night fell, a thin layer of white mist shrouded in the field, Li Qing's war horse galloped through the white mist, the dense sound of horses' hooves woke up the creatures in the field, he suddenly pulled the reins, and the speed of the war horse slowed down.

At this time, Duan Xiushi in the back caught up, and at night he saw Li Qing looking at the direction of Tuozhi City, his eyes were complicated, and he couldn't help but step forward and said: "Dudu, the enemy is current, the contradiction between you and Gao Shuai will be unfavorable to the Tang Army, it is better for us to endure it."

"Bear with me?"

Li Qing turned his head to look at Duan Xiushi, he shook his head resolutely and said, "Do you think I want to seize power?" The emperor ordered me to be the commander of the Western Route Army, and ordered me to pacify the two towns of Anxi and Beiting, this time Bian Lingcheng did not follow, this meaning is already obvious, if I want to seize power, why bother to fight with Gao Xianzhi at this time, but if I tolerate this, let Gao Xianzhi go to fight against the big cannibal, the Tang army will definitely lose! ”

"So, I can't bear it!" Li Qing's gaze looked in the direction of Tuozhi City again, and an imperceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Duan Xiushi saw that Li Qing had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading, and wanted to ask him what idea he had, but he couldn't open his mouth, and finally his lips moved, Li Qing understood what he meant, smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I can't say anything about this matter, you will naturally understand later."

He suddenly turned around and called Wu Xingsu, and told him repeatedly: "If you go to Tuozhi City, you must ask Princess Luo Yan to rush to Baishui City overnight, and say that I am sick by Gao Xianzhi." Remember! If you want to take her out of the city overnight, you must not waste time." .........

At noon the next day, ten miles east of the city, overwhelming cavalry appeared on the horizon, far away, like a beating black line, at a very fast speed from the east, the black line gradually approached, the yellow flag fluttered in the air, and the huge roar shook the earth to the top.

It's a mile from town. The speed of the cavalry of the Don Army and the cavalry of the Grolu began to slow down and finally stopped. Gao Xianzhi's whole body armor was distinct, and his eyes were cold. At the city gate, a team slowly walked out of the city gate, this is the king of Shiguo, Mo Hedu, with some of his important ministers surrounded by more than a hundred guards, came to meet Gao Xianzhi's army.

In the Western Regions, Gao Xianzhi's authority is far greater than that of Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, just like the peasants of a small county are afraid of the county officials over the emperor, and the strong strength and arrogant attitude make the monarchs of these small Western countries fear and hate him. Every spring, they would send an envoy to Qiuci to meet Gao Xianzhi, offering gifts and servile resignations, expressing their eternal submission to the Tang Dynasty.

Shiguo is no exception, during the period when Chebi Shi was the king, he paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year. Every year, he sent envoys to Qiuzi to give gifts to Gao Xianzhi, but this Mo He dared to go behind his back Gao Xianzhi and contact Li Qing privately, if there was no such person. It is impossible for Li Qing to intervene in the affairs of Shiguo, and it is impossible for him to be promoted to the pacification envoy of Beiting and Anxi towns.

Gao Xianzhi stared at Mo Hedu, who was getting closer and closer, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes, closer, three hundred steps..... 200 steps...... Fifty paces, the monarchs and ministers of the Shi Kingdom dismounted one after another, and walked towards Gao Xianzhi with a smirk on their faces, but the hands of the Grim Reaper had cut off their vitality.

"Kill!" Gao Xianzhi gave a quick and short order, the cavalry suddenly moved, the black pressure was boundless, like a flood that burst the embankment, and instantly engulfed more than a hundred Shiguo monarchs and ministers, the army did not stop, but continued to move forward, rushed into the city gate, and a catastrophe shrouded the sky above Tuozhi City.........

Princess Luo Yan suddenly shivered, the pen in her hand was crooked, and the last slash of Chang'an's An character stabbed out, leaving a long strip of black ink on the paper, she 'Ah! , sighed, lifted the pen, looked at the crooked Chinese characters he wrote, and smiled apologetically at Li Qing: "Actually, when I was in Chang'an, I wrote quite well, but I haven't practiced in the past two years, and my hands are a little raw."

Li Qing silently stared at this beautiful girl, in the past few months, she had expressed her love to herself implicitly, but he kept smiling and not answering, neither refusing nor agreeing.

If he were ten years younger, he might fall in love with her, forget everything around each other, don't need to eat, don't think about life, and only one person misses each other in his heart.

But Li Qing won't, years of brutal officialdom struggle have gradually hardened his earth's heart, on the way to kill step by step, a mistake, or even a woman's kindness will make him fall into a catastrophe, since he has embarked on this road, he has no choice,

In fact, even if Princess Luo Yan is as ugly as Mo Mu, he will possess her, not for love, but for her special identity, the only heir to the throne of the Shi Dynasty, if Mo Hedu dies suddenly, then only she can command the Shi ** team, and he Li Qing can finally take Shi Guo into his arms, if he is soft-hearted, it will never be a big deal.

Gao Xianzhi's army had already set off early in the morning, and it was time to enter Tuzhi City, Li Qingxin was sideways, and finally made up his mind,

It's time to close the net.

When he saw that Princess Luo Yan had finished writing, he walked behind her, pressed his hands on her shoulders intentionally or unintentionally, tilted his head to look at the words, and said with a smile: "Your last Anzi, your feet are too long, is there still a little unfinished?" ”

Princess Luo Yan's heart beat wildly, Li Qing's hand was actually on her shoulder, her cheeks burned red, suddenly, a courage rose from her heart, her hand slowly stretched up, gently pressed on the back of his hand, looked up at Li Qing, her eyes were full of joy and expectation.

Li Qing gently lifted her chin and lowered her head to kiss her plump and curvy lips, and Princess Luo Yan thought 'Buzz! , , became a blank, the person seemed to float in the air, weak and weak, she fell into his arms, her eyes were closed tightly, her long eyelashes kept beating, and she let his hand slide down from her shoulder, wantonly ** her own **, her heart was so nervous that she almost jumped out. At the moment, she only has this man in her heart, his lips, his hands, and everything about him are the most important things in life, no matter what he wants for herself, she is willing to dedicate it to him.

Li Qingyi picked up the crook of her legs, picked her up horizontally, and strode towards the back room, Princess Luo Yan's chest rose and fell violently, and her breathing was rapid, she closed her eyes tightly, and her hands wrapped around his neck, the most critical moment in her life was coming. She resolutely made up her mind that she would dedicate her body and mind to this man of the Tang Dynasty without reservation.........

Inside the city. Gao Xianzhi rushed into the treasury of Shi Guodi, and the dazzling gold and brilliant gems pierced his eyes. He laughed wildly, and it was all his.

Groups of Grolu people rushed into the wealthy families, ruthlessly plundering everything, wealth, women, billowing smoke hung over the land of Tuzhi City, and the Turkic nobles fled in all directions, but they could not outrun the crazy war horses. Wealth became a talisman for their death, and the arrival of Li Qing changed the trajectory of the Tang Dynasty, but in the end, it failed to make Shi Guo escape this catastrophe in history........

At the same moment of killing in Tuozhi City, Princess Luo Yan was suffering under Li Qingdi**, she didn't know how to greet her, ** had completely submerged her. This mature man has brought her to the pinnacle of bliss time and time again.

I don't know how much time passed, but finally the rain and clouds stopped, and Princess Luo Yan crouched beside Li Qing like a Boss cat. The hand was playfully playing with his earlobe, and seeing that he ignored himself, he stretched out his mouth and blew in his ear, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you were sick by Gao Xianzhi's qi?" I think it's more energetic than ten tigers."

Li Qing turned his head and glanced at her, hugged her to himself, and said with a smile: "Qi illness is a trivial matter, yesterday in his handsome tent, that martial artist actually wanted to kill me!" ”

"Why?" Princess Luo Yan sat up and looked at Li Qing in surprise, "Could it be that your Tang Army also has infighting?" ”

Li Qingleng snorted, he put on his clothes first, and while helping Princess Luo Yan take the dress, he said in a low voice: "I don't have to hide it from you now, nominally I am the deputy marshal of Anxi, but in fact, I am in charge of various places with him, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, but this trip to Shiguo, he thinks that I have exceeded his authority, and the conflict between us has erupted, you may not know that he actually sent me to Chang'an to intercept me halfway and brought it back."

"What!" Princess Luo Yan was taken aback, and she suddenly became worried, "Che Bishi is back again, what should my father do?" Will he still be able to hold on to his throne? , she was in a state of confusion, and suddenly hugged Li Qing's waist, raised her head and begged him: "You must help us!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let Che Bishi reascend to the throne."

Li Qing cupped her face, stared into her eyes and said, "And you!" Although I, Li Qing, am sometimes despicable and shameless, I promise a lot of money, since I have your body and mind, I will not let you be someone else's woman again, do you understand? ”

Princess Luo Yan nodded lightly, "I understand!" Her eyes suddenly turned red, her head slowly leaned on Li Qing's chest, and her weak tone revealed a hint of strength, "Although I am a Turkic woman, I also know that from the beginning to the end, as long as you don't abandon me, if the country of Shi is attacked by the Great Eclipse, then I would rather die than marry the Abbasid."

As the sun set, the blood-red sunset reflected on the earth, illuminating their faces and bodies red, and at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, and a personal soldier rushed into the courtyard and reported loudly: "Governor! The big thing is not good, Gao Xianzhi has already led the army into Tuozhi City, and the king of Mohedu and all the nobles have been killed! ”

"My father!" The sudden news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Princess Luo Yan was suddenly stunned, and for a long time, she suddenly weakened and fainted to the ground.......

The night gradually deepened, Princess Luo Yan stared at the starry sky blankly, her tears had dried up, she stared at the sky and was silent, she had long known the cruelty of the Glolu people, but she didn't expect that Tang Jun was also involved, but it was still the Western Regions Protector Gao Xianzhi who personally led the troops, she couldn't believe the facts she heard.

Her father died, so what would she do in the future?

Li Qing walked up to her and gently draped a piece of clothing over her, "Don't touch me!" Princess Luo Di stood up and shouted at Li Qing: "You know, that's why you brought me here, aren't you!" ”

Li Qing looked at her silently, for a while, he nodded, but shook his head again, "Yes, the reason why I picked you up was out of concern about this matter, but this is just a guess of mine, he told me that he was going to Shiguo to interrogate your father if he colluded with the Great Food, I guess he may lead troops to make trouble, or maybe he really went to interrogate your father, but in any case, you must not stay there, so I took you out first, but unexpectedly, the worst outcome happened."

Princess Luo Yan slowly covered her face and cried out, "Then why didn't you stop him?" ”

"I've already turned my face with him, how can I stop him? The reason why he killed your father was because your father cooperated with me and snubbed him."

Li Qing sighed, slowly walked to her side, put her clothes on, and said apologetically: "I am responsible in this matter, maybe I should remind your father and let him prepare early, but what if he knows, if Gao Xianzhi really just wants to interrogate him, then running away or resisting will confirm that his judgment is correct, if Gao Xianzhi has a murderous intention, your father will not be able to escape."

Princess Luo Yan looked at Li Qing blankly, she saw a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes, her heart suddenly softened, she threw herself into his arms, hugged him and cried bitterly, "Then what should I do?" ”

Li Qing is indeed guilty, everything is in his calculations, he can take Mo Hedu's father and daughter to Baishui City together, but in order to replace Gao Xianzhi, he must make Mo Hedu a victim, which may be the ruthlessness and cruelty of political struggle.

He hugged Princess Luo Yan tightly into his arms, and said pityingly: "You will follow me in the future!" Your father's death, I'll ask for an explanation for you! ”.......

It was already late at night, Princess Luo Yan was haggard and had fallen asleep in the back room, Li Qing sat in front of the table and worked hard to write, Gao Xianzhi killed Mo Hedu, killed all the nobles of Shi Kingdom, ransacked the whole city, and took all the gold and jewelry in the treasury for himself.

Li Qingzai impeached Gao Xianzhi to Li Longji for contempt for the monarchy, sabotaged the agreements he reached with the Shi State and the Bakhana Kingdom, and pointed out that his greed and brutality would greatly damage the credibility of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and would ruin the high prestige of the Heavenly Khan, and he demanded that the imperial court severely punish Gao Xianzhi!

After writing the recital, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, he put down the pen and got up and walked into the back room, silently looking at the sleeping princess Luo Yan, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, from now on their fates will be linked.

Li Qing turned around and went out, and added another line at the end of the recital, asking Li Longji to canonize Princess Qian Shiluo, the daughter of Mohedu, as the new king of Shiguo.

He immediately summoned Wu Xingsu and ordered him to rush to Chang'an and hand over this piece to Gao Lishi, and success or failure will be in one fell swoop.
