Hearing the shouting, all the people in the restaurant flocked to the window, looking down, Cui Yao and Gu Dai also turned their heads to look out the window, only to see dozens of people chasing and slashing the two from a distance, judging from the clothes they were wearing, it was really the Hui and Tubo people, the streets on both sides were already crowded with people, and more than a dozen municipal offices ran to the tolerance, it can be seen that the Hui people are fierce, and they dare not ask.

Cui Yao was furious, slapped the table and shouted: "Fanbang aliens dare to kill people in the street, do you really think that my Tang Dynasty is still in the Anshi Rebellion?" ”

He stood up and strode towards the restaurant, Gu Dai hurriedly called him, "Cui Gongzi, wait a minute." ”

Cui Yao stopped, turned around and said to her solemnly: "Gu Dai, you just wait for me here, don't go away, I'll come when I go." ”

"Cui Gongzi should be careful!"

Cui Yao nodded, ran downstairs quickly, ran to the street, saw that the lively crowd was already crowded, he struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and came to an open place on the street, two Tubo people had already cut down to the ground, blood flowed all over the ground, one was killed, and the other was also seriously injured, lying on the ground with his eyes closed and waiting for death.

There are about 30 Hui people, the leader is the deputy envoy Kang Chixin, he is crossing his hands to look at a dead and injured two Tubo people laughed proudly, three days ago, Hui Khan's additional order came, made it clear that the Tang princess will be established as Kedun, which made Kang Chixin very depressed, depressed for two days, today he specially took a group of men to the East Market to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, first smashed a stall and injured the hawker, seeing that no one dared to care about him, he became more and more proud. Later, in a silk shop, he met two Tibetan envoys who were buying Shu brocade, and knew that the Tang people were fighting with the Tubo people, so he ordered his men to kill people and chased them all the way to the street.

He glanced at the Tang people on both sides at this moment, and snorted coldly, what about the feet of the world, isn't there no one who dares to care about me among these thousands of Tang people?

"Kill him!" He gave the order to kill another Tibetan, and the two Uighurs carried knives and slowly walked towards the undead Tibetans.

"Stop!" One rushed over and stopped the two Hui. He clenched his fists and was furious, it was Cui Yao, he stared at Kang Chixin word by word: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven." How can you be allowed to run rampant! ”

"Haha! Finally, a nosy Tang man came. ^^, UC eBook, first release ^^ "Kang Chixin looked up to the sky and laughed, and his laughter suddenly stopped. Said viciously: "Boy, aren't you afraid that I will cut you together?" ”

"You dare to kill me?" Cui Yao also smiled coldly, and he suddenly raised his arms and shouted to the people around him: "More than 20 years ago, the Hui people wantonly killed people on the streets of Chang'an and insulted my Datang women, and today they are going to kill people in the street and bully my Datang." What are we going to do? ”

"Kill them!" The surrounding people were reminded of the tragic past, and shouted angrily, the shouts were like a landslide and tsunami, wave after wave, and the faces of Kang Chixin and his men changed greatly. Step by step, they retreated, suddenly turned around and ran, and a dense stream of stones chased after them, and a group of Hui people fled with their heads in their arms.

Cui Yao kept watching the Hui people being driven away, and he sneered and said, "Do you really think that my Datang is still the same as before?" ”

"Cui Gongzi." Gu Dai quickly ran to his side and asked with concern, "You, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Cui Yao saw that more than a dozen officials from the municipal bureau were rescuing the Tubo people, and he said angrily: "Although the Tubo people are not a good thing, these Hui people dare to kill people in the street and provoke the authority of our Tang Dynasty. ”

"That person's name is Kang Chixin. In Huifu, he served as the general of Meilu. It has quite a status and is a well-known pro-big food pie. This time, he served as the deputy envoy of Huifu. ”

Cui Yao looked at her with some surprise, "Do you know this person?" ”

Gu Dai nodded, "You can see that he only killed the Tubo people, and you know that he actually has another deep meaning, Gongzi doesn't need to pay attention to this matter, I think the Tubo people will not let him go." ”

Cui Yao nodded silently, Gu Dai was reasonable, but with Kang's heartfelt status, he came to Dongshi to make trouble, this matter must not be simple, and he must not be reckless.

Gu Dai pulled him and said with a smile: "Childe is going to take the exam tomorrow, let's go back early!" ”

"Good! Let's go back. Cui Yao called a carriage, and in a round of approving applause, he took Gu Dai to board the carriage and gallop towards Cui's mansion in high spirits

In the afternoon of the same day, Jing Zhaoyin urgently reported to Zhang Huan the murder case that had occurred in Dongshi, and the Tubo people who were killed were actually the deputy envoy of the Tubo Mission, Batel, and his entourage was also seriously injured.

Zhang Huan immediately realized that this matter was not good, this Kang Chixin was clearly unwilling to return to the Khan to set up the Tang princess as Kedun, and take the opportunity to cause trouble to destroy the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the two countries, if the imperial court is biased towards Tubo, the pro-Dashi faction on the Hui side will inevitably find an excuse to obstruct Hui Hui's neutral position, but if it is left alone, it will inevitably cast a shadow on the negotiation of Tubo sending troops.

But Zhang Huan was not in a hurry to deal with the matter, he was waiting, and he waited until dusk and did not see the Tubo people complaining, so he knew a little, and immediately wrote a secret order and ordered someone to send it to Du Mei.

It is night, the night is dark, the large clouds cover the starlight and the moonlight, the imperial city is very quiet, occasionally there are patrolling soldiers walking through the street, the Honglu Temple is located in the southwest corner of the imperial city, close to the Hanguang Gate, composed of hundreds of large and small courtyards, the various missions to Chang'an Hajj are stationed in it, just because of their existence, the Hanguang Gate is also closed all night, in order to facilitate their entry and exit.

In the building, a straight road runs through it, hundreds of courtyards are distributed on both sides of the mainland, the Hui people came earlier, and they are the ambassadors, so they occupy the three largest courtyards on the edge of the building, the main envoy and the deputy envoy each occupy one, and the rest of the rough envoys squeeze one, and around them, most of them are the stations of the small countries of Anxi.

It was already late at night, and it was already one o'clock, and all the envoys had fallen asleep, and the whole pavilion area was quiet. There was not a single pedestrian to be seen on the road, and suddenly, a large group of black shadows appeared outside the Hui people's station, about a hundred people, who were quietly speeding along the base of the wall with sharp blades in their hands.

"Zabu is the gate." A black shadow pointed to the courtyard gate on the far left, and then several tall black shadows climbed into the courtyard wall like apes, and in a moment, the courtyard gate creaked! It opened with a bang. With a wave of his hand, more than a hundred black shadows entered the gate like gophers, but they had just disappeared into the courtyard of the Hui people. Ten feet away behind him, three other black shadows appeared on the ridge of a house, all of them masked. Dressed in the same costume as the Tibetans, his eyes stared sharply at the courtyard opposite.

One person waved his hand, and the three of them immediately disappeared from the ridge like ghosts, but suddenly appeared on the ridge of the Hui people, and a bright Tubo short knife appeared in everyone's hand. ^^^UC eBook ^Premiere ^^

At this moment, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from the courtyard on the left side of the Hui people, and then the shouts of killing rang out. The roars, cries, begging for mercy, and the sound of ping-pong weapon fighting were loud and chaotic, and the lights around them were turned on, and people began to run to Tang Jun for help, and the sound suddenly became quiet again. I heard one person crying loudly, "Oh no! General Meilu was killed by the Tibetans. ”

The sound of horses' hooves of the Tang Army cavalry began to sound in the distance, and at this time, the three people on the roof had already disappeared. In the middle of the night on the fifth day of the first lunar month, a major event suddenly occurred in the Honglu Temple building, nearly 100 Tubo people attacked the Hui people station at night, in the melee, the Hui deputy envoy Kang Chixin was killed by the Tubo people, when the Tang army stationed in the imperial city came, the Tubo people had cut off the head of Kang Chixin. The Hui crowd was emotional. They all drew their swords to fight desperately with the Tibetans, and the Tang army immediately separated the two countries' missions, which were about to break out into a larger conflict. and confiscated everyone's weapons, and the two missions continued to make a disturbance until dawn, and then gradually subsided.

As soon as the morning dawned, the Hui Zheng envoy Yao Luo Ge Ling officially protested to the Tang Dynasty against the atrocities of the Tubo people, and the Tubo people also protested to the Tang court at the same time against the killing of their deputy envoys, and the Tang Emperor Zhang Huan sent Cui Yu and Pei You respectively to appease the emotions of the two countries, expressed deep regret for what happened last night, and issued an order to remove the Shaoqing in charge of the Honglu Temple in charge of the pavilion.

In order to ensure the safety of the Tibetan mission, Zhang Huan ordered 3,000 cavalry to escort the Tibetan mission.

With the departure of the Tibetan mission and the beginning of the imperial examination in the fifth year of the Great Governance, the matter gradually subsided, to the eighth day of the first month, the Tang Dynasty held the first New Year's Dynasty of the five years of the Great Governance, at the court meeting officially decided to combine the two major protectorates of Anxi and Beiting into one, and established the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, which consists of Qiuzi, Gaochang, Broken Leaves, Shule, Khotan, Yanqi, Luntai Seven Metropolitan Governors, the first Western Regions Protector was served by Wang Siyu, the former Anxi Jiedu envoy, and concurrently served as the Governor of Broken Leaves; Xin Lang, the former protector of Beiting, served as the deputy protector and concurrently served as the governor of Luntai, and Cao Hanchen, the former governor of Broken Leaves, was transferred to the governor of Shule. ^^, UC eBook, first release ^^

At this court meeting, it was also decided to transfer 80,000 Han troops from Longyou, Guanzhong, and Jiannan to increase the troops in Anxi, and successively send 5 million stone grain and a large number of military supplies to Shule, the war wheel of the Tang Dynasty gradually turned, and batch after batch of young officials were sent to the distant Western Regions to take up their posts, and they will sprinkle their youth and blood on that distant land.

In the afternoon of this day, the imperial examination was finally over, Cui Yao rushed back to the mansion in a hurry, he was going to leave for broken leaves the day after tomorrow, so he made an appointment with Gu Dai to go to Qujiangchi together after the examination today.

But as soon as he entered the mansion, the chief butler stopped him, "Eldest son, the old man invites you to come over." ”

Cui Yao was stunned, and he immediately understood that this was his grandfather who wanted to ask him about the imperial examination! Although Gu Dai was still waiting for him, he didn't dare to disobey his grandfather's orders.

Walking to his grandfather's study, Cui Yao knocked lightly on the door, "Grandfather, grandson asks to see!" ”

"Come in!" Cui Yuan's somewhat old voice came from inside the room.

Cui Yao walked into the study quickly, only to see his grandfather leaning on the soft cushion, his body was already very weak, Cui Yao felt guilty for a while, he almost didn't accompany his grandfather well these days, and the day after tomorrow

Cui Yao's nose was sour, he slowly knelt down, and kowtowed to his grandfather, "Grandson knocks on grandfather!" ”

"You kid. How to make a big gift! Cui Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Isn't it because your grandfather didn't give you New Year's money?" ”

"The grandson doesn't dare, the grandson will leave the day after tomorrow, and he can't serve his grandfather anymore."

Cui Yuan looked at the eldest grandson of the earth since he was a child, and a feeling of licking the calf swelled in his heart, thinking that he might never see him again, Cui Yuandi's eyes were slightly moist, and he beckoned to Cui Yao, "Child, come here!" ”

Cui Yao hurriedly crawled to his grandfather's side, and Cui Yuan caressed him lovingly and smiled: "Idiot." It will take a year or two to go to Anxi, and I don't know if my grandfather will be able to see you again, so don't let your grandfather down! ”

Hearing his grandfather's words, Cui Yao actually cried. He lay on his grandfather's lap and wept, "My grandson is no longer in Anxi, and my grandson will stay and serve my grandfather." ”

"!" Cui Yuan suddenly became angry. He pushed his grandson away and scolded him sternly: "Is this what my grandson said?" Like a woman, get out of here, and I'll never see you again. ”

Cui Yao hurriedly knelt down, held back the sadness in his heart and said, "My grandson knows that I am wrong, please punish my grandfather." ”

Cui Yuan stared at it for a long time, and the sadness in his heart slowly calmed down, and he sighed softly and said, "Do you know why your grandfather has to ask you to go to Anxi?" even begged the emperor with a thick old face. Because my grandfather has already seen that the competition between Datang and Dashi for the Western Regions is related to the strategic interests of my Datang, and it will be the most important event in Datang in the next 20 years. You have the opportunity to ascend to the position of the Tang Dynasty again in a few decades, so that our Cui family will not fall, do you understand? Grandfather has staked all his hopes on your earth. ”

Cui Yao nodded silently, "Sun Er understands." ”

"Nope! I'm afraid you don't understand. The corners of Cui Yuan's mouth twitched, and he slowly took out a beautiful jade from his arms and put it on the table, "Is this your thing?" ”

Cui Yao's heart suddenly pounded! The drama jumped, and he remembered that this was the jade he had bet on in the jewelry store, and he had forgotten it in the imperial examination in the past few days, how could it be in his grandfather's hands again?

"This piece of jade has my name on it. Who would dare to take it? Cui Yuan glanced at him. Seeing that he was ashamed, he said lightly: "This is the proprietor of Fu Bao Ji who personally sent it that afternoon." Because you want the imperial examination, I won't mention this matter, let me ask you, why did this piece of jade end up in the store of Fu Bao Ji? ”

Cui Yao's face was flushed, he saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he squeaked and whined about buying a necklace for Gu Dai, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "Grandson and her are in love, ask for ancestors."

Before he finished speaking, Cui Yuan slapped him on the table fiercely, coughing violently, coughing so much that his waist couldn't stand up, Cui Yao panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to beat his grandfather's back, but Cui Yuan lifted him away and shouted: "You kneel down for me!" ”

Cui Yao's heart was already cold, he slowly knelt down, and Cui Yuan waited for the hissing panting to subside slightly, before he trembled and pointed at him and said, "You are confused!" What kind of person is she, she is a woman of a different race, and what are you, it is the eldest grandson of my Cui Yuan, don't say it's her, even if it's the princess of the Tang Dynasty, I won't let you marry, my Cui family is the first family in the Tang Dynasty, how can I let a blonde and blue-eyed Fanbang woman become the eldest wife of the family, ridiculous! You're ridiculous. ”

At this time, Cui Yao's heart has completely fallen into the cold cave, he knows his grandfather very well, he actually said two absurdities, then he will never agree to the matter of himself and Gu Dai, Cui Yao's blood suddenly surged to the top of his head, he said angrily: "No one will marry before the grandson becomes famous, now the grandfather is satisfied!" ”

"Humph!" Cui Yuan snorted coldly, "You don't want to hide it from me, I'll tell you the truth, if your life's major events are not solved, I will never close my eyes and leave." ”

He took a red paper sticker from the table, threw it in front of him, and said in a tone that had no room for negotiation: "I have already set a marriage for you, your wife will be Fang Min, the youngest daughter of Fang Zongyan, the head of the household department, this woman is gentle and virtuous, and the daughter of the Fang family, she is your good match, she is thirteen years old this year, I have written to your father, and I have also agreed with Fang Shilang, you will officially get married in four years." ”

"What!" Cui Yao's eyes darkened, and an unforgettable pain almost made him die.

Cui Yao himself didn't know how to get out of his grandfather's study, he walked forward blankly, and unconsciously came to the guest room, Cui Yao stood still, staring blankly at Gu Dai's room, and didn't know how long he had been standing, he sighed softly, turned around and walked to the back, but just after walking two steps, a very familiar voice came from behind him, "Cui Gongzi!" ”

Cui Yao was shocked, he slowly turned around, and that beautiful face appeared in front of him, "Are you sick?" Gu Dai was taken aback by his pale face, "Cui Gongzi, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little tired." Cui Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'll tell you, Qujiang and I may not be able to accompany you." ”

"It's okay, go back and rest!"

In order to go to Qujiang Pond, Gu Dai has changed into a gorgeous long skirt, and she has been carefully dressed up, she has been looking forward to Cui Yao taking her to Qujiang Pond since the morning, the beautiful scenery of Qujiang Pond She heard her brother say it more than once, she has been thinking for a long time, but in the end she still couldn't go, and she also had a slight regret in her heart.

"Go back and rest! We're going to leave early the day after tomorrow, so what if you don't have a good rest. She saw that Cui Yao was still standing there stupidly, so she urged him to leave quickly.

Cui Yao still didn't move, he stared at Gu Dai in despair, the muscles on his soft face twitching violently, twisting, and choking in pain.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Gu Dai was a little flustered, she felt Cui Yao's extreme pain in her icy heart, and this pain seemed to have something to do with her, otherwise how could he look at himself like this.

Cui Yao couldn't control his feelings anymore, he hugged her into his arms like crazy, raised his head to the sky and shouted silently, why is God unfair? Why did his grandfather make him make such a vicious oath, why did he have to drive him to a dead end, he burst into tears,

The pain consumed him completely.

At this moment, the elegant Cui family and grandson disappeared, and became a young man trapped by love and crazy for Yi, Gu Dai did not push him away, she felt his trembling and despair, she snuggled in his arms like a golden kitten, hoping to use her warmth to drive away his fear.

Cough! Cough! Not far away, there was a sudden heavy coughing sound, which suddenly broke up a young couple in the small courtyard, and the two separated in panic, only to see the old housekeeper standing at the moon gate, he said expressionlessly: "Eldest son, the old man asked you to go back and pack your bags, and you will leave the day after tomorrow." ”

"I see!" Cui Yao gritted his teeth and ran towards the inner courtyard without looking back.

The old butler looked at his back, shook his head pityingly, and he looked at Gu Dai again, as if he wanted to say something to her, but he couldn't bear it, so he turned around and went slowly.

Gu Dai stood there in a daze, a gust of wind blowing, blowing her blonde hair and the corners of her skirt, and a sour taste that had never been felt before slowly poured into her heart.
