Three days later, at the beginning of the heavy snowfall, Xiang Gong took Xuanzang, Wukong, and Xiaobailong to Quzhi Wangcheng together.

The heavy snow engulfed the entire Quzhi Royal City, and the land was a snow-white sky, but it was dim and gloomy, giving people the illusion that the world was overturned.

The cavalry of the brigade entered the royal city, and some people went out of the city, dressed in robes and belts, and greeted them solemnly.

The cavalry general ordered that only the guards should be brought into the city, and the rest of the people would be stationed ten miles outside the city, rest in place, and set off after the snow melted on the shortcut to Shepan Mountain.

Soon after the group entered the city, news came out in the city that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty had lost in the royal city three days ago, and ordered the whole country to draw shadows and graphics, and make every effort to find the heavenly empire.

However, the order was instantly spread all over the small Qu Zhi, and the replies were like snow, and no gang was seen, and no trace was found.

"Your Majesty, my envoy has sent me a letter saying that he will ask to see you immediately, but after that, the communication between us has been cut off.

Li Daoli, the king of Gaoping, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to the Western Turks, came to Tang to marry the princess with Zhenzhu Tongjin.

Who knew that Zhenzhu Tong heard that the Eastern Turk Jali Khan wanted to interfere with it, and was ready to take advantage of the princess's passage through the territory of the Eastern Turks to plunder the family sending team, so he panicked and gave up his relatives.

Now, Li Daoli is not doing well, and he is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed when he returns to Datang, at least he will be cut down and investigated.

coincided with the heavy snow in Quzhi and the road was blocked, so he took the 5,000 elite soldiers with him to temporarily live in Quzhi.

King Qu Zhi listened to Li Daoli's question, and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, not to mention anything else, Li Daoli's five thousand elite soldiers alone may be able to take his head in the royal city.

If the Tang Dynasty can't afford to provoke him, the Tang Dynasty can't afford to provoke him, but if it weren't for that big ......

King Qu Zhi was anxious, and suddenly the guards outside said, "The great master has arrived!" ”

King Qu Zhi was immediately shocked, and summoned the great master to meet him, and the three accompanying guards standing behind Li Daoli turned their eyes to the door of the main hall.

But I saw that a collar robe was decorated with a golden silk and jade pendant, and it was square and dingdong, like a fairy singing.

The Zen staff of the great master is sudden, sonorous and muffled, it is not said to be loud and far-reaching, thought-provoking, the nine rings on the Zen staff are interlocking, the sound is loud, the jingle bell is crisp and pleasant, pointing directly to the hearts of the people.

But he saw an elderly person with a wrinkled face, Li Daoli didn't dare to slack off, and bowed his hand, "Jinchi Great Master, don't come to harm!" ”

"Hahehehe, King Gaoping has been gone for a few months, and now he is back with a full load, congratulations!"

It turned out to be Elder Jinchi, and he was still the great teacher of Qu Zhiguo, no wonder Dongzhao Yuli Temple could be so magnificent.

"The great master of Jinchi said with a smile, nothing has been achieved this time, after returning to the Tang Dynasty, it is natural to avoid a heavy responsibility, when the time comes, one of the reasons for the Dao will be prepared to return to the saint, if there is any offense, please also ask the great master to take responsibility!"

As soon as Li Daoli said a few strange words, a cold light immediately flashed in Jin Chi's small eyes, but he said with a smile: "King Gaoping, please tell the truth, my poor monk is an outsider, how dare I mess with the red dust?" ”

Li Daoli smiled disdainfully when he heard this, and suddenly arched his hand: "Daoli will say goodbye, the camp outside the city is waiting for news from His Majesty, I hope I can see my envoy of the Tang Dynasty within three days, otherwise...... Hum! ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and walked to the door of the store, and suddenly heard Jin Chi's kind words: "King Gaoping walks slowly, this heavy snow comes suddenly, but you must carefully protect yourself from the cold and be careful to hurry!" Hahehehe......"

Li Daoli listened and glanced back at Elder Jinchi, for a long time, turned around and left, and did not stop for a moment.

When King Quzhi saw Li Daoli leaving, he trembled and said: "Great Master, he won't ...... this Li Daoli."

Jin Chi stretched out his hand to stop King Quzhi from speaking, squinted his small eyes, and looked at Li Daoli and his party with anxious eyes, thoughtful.

"It seems that this should be the rules of Qu Zhiguo, right?" On the way back to the camp, a guard behind Li Daoli suddenly said, and as he spoke, he ripped off his heavy helmet, and it turned out to be Xiang Gong.

Then the other two guards also took off their helmets, and sure enough, it was Wukong and Little White Dragon.

"What rules?" The little white dragon asked.

Li Daoli turned around and exchanged glances with Xiang Gong, who immediately confirmed his conjecture.

"Jin Chi is the one who can really call the shots in Qu Zhiguo!" Xiang Gong's tone was distant, with some remorse.

In the introduction of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty and the little monk Xuanzang, Xiang Gong got a message: King Quzhi is a local native, with mediocre intelligence, lack of strategy, and is subject to capable ministers.

Xiang Gong was just thinking about how to get close to this capable minister, but he didn't guess at all that this minister turned out to be Jin Chi!

In fact, this is not to blame Xiang Gong, after all, the so-called national teacher can only be a disciple of the Lingshan Sect in Quzhi Country, and the disciples of the Liberation Sect are all pure-hearted and have few desires, who would have thought that Jin Chi would steal Qu Zhi's authority?

Now that Xiang Gong saw Jin Chi's status in front of King Quzhi, he knew that King Quzhi was not a minister at all, but a demon monk.

Similarly, in Xiang Gong's opinion, Jin Chi is a demon monk, and when he brings him a monk, Xiang Gong feels insulted and ashamed of the little monk.

"Little brother Xiang Gong, are you really sure this time?" Li Daoli asked.

Xiang Gong smiled, Li Daoli was in a hurry now, and Xiang Gong knew the reason very well.

Three days ago, while Li Daoli and the envoy team were depressed and settled outside the city of Quzhi Wang, Xiang Gong secretly met Li Daoli before Quzhi received officials.

Li Daoli is Li Shimin's cousin according to the family tree, and when he was young, he also followed Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin at the time, to conquer the south and the north.

However, when he saw the customs clearance document written by Li Shimin, Li Daoli immediately attached importance to it, so he invited Xiang Gong and others to enter the camp.

Xiang Gong added fuel to the slow treatment of Qu Zhiguo, and saw that Li Daoli didn't react much, so he could only start talking about the deal.

Li Daoli's mistake in presiding over this peace directly made the Tang Dynasty lose a big arm in curbing the Eastern Turks, which is a considerable crime, and he must be dismissed from his post after he goes back, and he will be reduced to a knight, in the official history, Xiang Gong probably remembers that he was demoted to a county duke.

Xiang Gong now just wants to support Li Daoli, firstly, to let out a breath of evil anger received in Quzhiguo, and secondly, through Li Daoli, to install a flag in the imperial court.

From the current point of view, the common interests should be the best way to bundle, which can be regarded as the beginning of Xiang Gong's strength improvement at another level.

"I can help you keep the prince, and even more appreciated by the emperor, but you have to fully support me, this time, it is limited to Qu Zhi, and the next time is to be determined, think about it!"

This is the content of the transaction provided by Xiang Gong to Li Daoli, Li Daoli actually refused in his heart, but he was about to go to the border of Datang, and he couldn't see any other hope except for this opportunity.

"Okay, but you have to tell me why I can go unpunished, but I will be appreciated, and I will talk and hum ......"

Li Daoli is not stupid, but Xiang Gong doesn't care, if Li Daoli is a fool, he won't cooperate with him!

So Xiang Gong told Li Daoli about his plan in one go, and Li Daoli immediately decided to cooperate, and even wanted to sue the world with Xiang Gong and marry Jinlan.

Of course, Xiang Gong didn't take it seriously, just smiled, and agreed to implement the first step plan, that is, ...... Make it true!
