In Mobei, Ashinamo was waiting for news in Li Jing's official office, and Naihe had been gone for more than ten days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info has been no news. At this time, the guards at the gate reported to Ashnasmo:

"General Qiyu, we found a person outside the city, and this person still has a token on him. And, he asked to see the general, and we brought him back. Ashinamo looked at the token - the Tang Dynasty Six-Rank Martial Commander Xi Maha Tulou. Ashinasmo immediately ordered the man to be brought in. The soldiers carried the man in. Ashnasmo looked at the man closely.

"Ahh It's him! Quickly get a doctor to come and treat this man's wounds! When the man was cured by the doctor, Ashnasmo asked the man:

"Xi Maha Tulou young man, how did you become like this! Also, has that retinue of mine been to your tribe? Xi Ma Ha Tulou thought in his heart, Naihe was dead, and he must not tell Ashinasmo, now he can only hide it.

"Uncle Ashnasmo, little nephew is sorry for you! Nai and him, Nai and he came to our tribe, and they died of exhaustion. Ashnasmo sighed.

"By the way, Xi Maha Tulou is a young man, why are you like this, so downcast." Xi Ma Ha Tulou told Ashnasmo about his recent experience. Xi Maha Tulou was chased to the edge of a cliff by the pursuers:

"Xi Mahatulou, don't run anymore. There's no road ahead, so come with us! Xi Ma Ha Tulou stood on the edge of the cliff and shouted to the pursuers:

"Don't come, don't come." The big leader of the Lei tribe smiled and said to Xi Mahatulou:

"Xi Maha Tulou, don't run away anymore, for the sake of the previous relationship, I will leave your life."

"Needless to say, I won't let you get your wish." After Xi Maha Tulou finished speaking, he jumped down directly. Fortunately, there was a small tree at the bottom of the cliff, which helped Xi Maha Tulou block it, so that Xi Mahatu Lou left a life. crawled all the way to Mobei.

"Uncle Ashinasmo! Please help me! Xi Ma Ha Tulou grabbed Ashinasmo's hand and shook it desperately. Ashinasmo appeased Xi Mahatulou. He promised to immediately send someone to the Xue Yantuo Khanate to inquire about the news of the Xi tribe. A few days later, Ashinasmo came to Xi Maha Tulou dejectedly.

"Uncle Ashinasmo! Any news? ”

"Maha Tulou! You have to mourn! Hearing Ashinasmo's words, Xi Mahatulou immediately fainted after hearing Ashinasmo's words.

In the Taiji Hall of Chang'an, Li Jiancheng was reviewing the recital, and at this time, Di Renjie, the commander of the Qilin Secret Guard, came here to report:

"Your Majesty! Something big is wrong! Xue Yantuo detained our envoys who remained there. ”

"What? Not good! ......"After Ashinasmo and Xi Maha Tulou returned to Chang'an, they immediately put on their backs and came to Li Jiancheng.

"Your Majesty! Wechen is guilty! Your Majesty! Wechen is guilty! Li Jiancheng heard that Ashinasmo was carrying a rattan on his back and standing outside the hall with Xi Mahatulou. Li Jiancheng said in his heart: "It's really going to make trouble with me!" Li Jiancheng walked out of the hall and saw Ashnasmo shirtless and carrying a rattan on his back. The mouth kept shouting:

"Your Majesty! Wechen is guilty! Your Majesty! Wechen is guilty! Wechen is not doing well! Please forgive your sins! Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Wechen is guilty! Your Majesty! Wechen is guilty! Li Jiancheng looked at Ashinamo, helped Ashnasmo up, untied Ashinasmo's rope, and took off the rattan behind him. Looking at the rattan, Li Jiancheng smiled - 'Hmph! This rattan looks like it has been processed, and there is not a single thorn. But forget it, it's good to be able to make a show, when Lian Po was sent to see Lin Xiangru by Jing Tiao, the historian didn't say that there were thorns on the rattan on Lian Po's back, besides, the grassland needs a pro-Han faction, and Ashinasmo is still useful. ’

"Aiqing! What are you doing here? Get up. Mingyu, put my shirt on General Ashnasmo, don't catch a cold. Xi Maha Tulou, you can come in too! Li Jiancheng pulled Ashinamo and Xi Maha Tulou into the main hall. Xi Maha Tulou immediately knelt in front of Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty! Please call the shots, Weichen heard that the minister's clan and family have been slaughtered by Xue Yantuo. Please make your majesty's decision! Your Majesty! Seeing Xi Maha Tulou so sad, Li Jiancheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh - although the Xi tribe is now Li Tang's ally, it has also betrayed Li Tang many times in his history. During the reign of Wu Zhou, the Xi tribe often followed the Khitans into the Central Plains. During the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Xi tribe, as Li Tang's mercenaries, followed Gao Xianzhi to compete with the Arab Empire for hegemony in Central Asia, but defected with other tribes such as Ge Luolu, which made Gao Xianzhi's westward expedition fail, and the Tang army never set foot in the west and north of the Green Ridge again. Subsequently, An Lushan rebelled, and the Xi tribe was also the main force of the rebellion. Now, the Xi tribe has suffered such a heavy blow for Li Jiancheng, which is also a good thing. However, there is still work to be done on the surface. Li Jiancheng helped Xi Maha Tulou up.

"Xi Aiqing! I know about you. I will seek justice for Aiqing. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Uh-huh, uh-huh! After sending away Ashnasmo and Xi Maha, Li Jiancheng brought Ling Jing over.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Ling Jing Aiqing! Xue Yantuo's recent events, you've heard about them! ”

"Your Majesty! I've heard a little about it! Li Jiancheng nodded.

"Ling Jing Aiqing! You said to me, if you were to go to the Khanate of Xueyanta, would you dare to go? Of course, Li Jiancheng meant something when he said this. Now the Xue Yantuo Khanate is extremely disgusted with Li Tang's attitude. Moreover, Chu Suiliang and Yan Liben, who remained in the Xueyantuo Khanate, are still uncertain about their lives and deaths. Then, this time the Tang envoys who went to the Xue Yantuo Khanate were definitely nine deaths. However, Ling Jing did not have the slightest fear. Because this is an opportunity, an opportunity to make a name for yourself. If he can come back alive, then what awaits him is a high-ranking official. Even if it's dead. He is also a loyal martyr in history, and will always be famous for eternity.

His Majesty laughed. Wechen obeyed His Majesty's arrangement. It's just that when I go again, I want to ask Your Majesty for two things! ”

"Oh! Say! Li Jiancheng has been looking forward to it, wondering, does Ling Jing hope that when he repairs history in the future, he will write his name into the royal historical materials? Why are you an official? One is for money, and the other is for fame.

"Your Majesty! When you go to the Xueyanta Khanate, you must get the holy decree of your majesty's marriage. Indicate on the holy decree which royal daughter of the clan will be married to the true pearl of the Xueyanta Khanate! In addition, there is a portrait of the princess, an introduction to her age, and the number of dowry items. Second, the means and promises made by Wei Chen to the Xue Yantuo Khanate, please don't blame Your Majesty! After listening to Ling Jing's words, Li Jiancheng's brows furrowed, and he almost blurted out - "Ling Jing Aiqing, do you really think that I am going to marry the Xue Yantuo Khanate!" "It's just that Li Jiancheng feels that he has already taken a bad step by sending Ashnasmo to Mobei, and now, the contradiction between the Xue Yantuo Khanate and Li Tang has intensified a little, and Li Jiancheng has no plans to completely tear his face with the Xue Yantuo Khanate for the time being. So there is only patience first. Ling Jing probably saw Li Jiancheng's thoughts, and immediately said:

"Your Majesty! Wechen knows His Majesty's thoughts! Your Majesty, please rest assured! Everything that Weichen promised to the Xueyantuo Khanate was false. After Li Jiancheng listened, he nodded. After Ling Jing came out of the Taiji Palace, he immediately came to the residence of Prince Lu Mang. As soon as he saw the prince of Troll, he immediately went up and held the hand of Prince Troll:

"Oops! Your Royal Highness! Prince Reckless asked Ling Jing:

"Lord Ling. Xiao Wang has been in Chang'an for more than a month. I don't know about Your Majesty's peace with my country and Datang? ......" Ling Jing held his hand:

"Your Royal Highness! My Majesty has spent a lot of thought on the marriage between your country and my princess! Finally, a good match was selected for the Great Khan of your country, that is, the daughter of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, who was the great Zongzheng of our dynasty, and had been canonized by the emperor as a new princess. No, His Majesty also asked the lower officials to bring back the portrait of the emerging princess. Now, let Prince Reckless help Ling Zun, the true pearl of the Xueyanta Khanate, His Excellency Viga Khan Yinan, appreciate it! As Ling Jing spoke, she took out a painting scroll, and after unfolding it, a "Lady Picture" was displayed in front of Prince Lumang. Prince Lu looked at this "Lady Picture". I was immediately attracted by the beauty in this "Lady Picture". I saw that the girl in this "Lady Picture" had a fair face and a handsome face, especially the two pink dimples on her face added to the beauty. Prince Lu Mang looked at it, and he wished that it was he who kissed him this time. Looking at the fascinated appearance of the reckless prince, Ling Jing smiled in his heart, "Hmph! Of course, this woman is beautiful, this is Lao Tzu asked the famous painter in the palace to imitate the "Xi Shi Makeup Picture" and "Zhaojun Out of the Sai Tu" of the previous dynasty. At the beginning, Wu Wangfucha, who was a fan of Xi Shi, lost the country, and Wang Zhaojun's fan of Hu Han and evil Shan did not invade the Central Plains for decades. and was named the Ninghu Yan branch. Today, I will use the portrait of the two beauties in one in exchange for decades of peace in my Datang! Ling Jing looked at Prince Reckless and reminded softly:

"Your Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness! ”

"Hmmm! Oh! Excuse me! Lord Ling Jing, I'm out of shape. Prince Trolling explained, wiping the saliva from his mouth.

"Ahh Your Royal Highness! There is a proverb that Confucius said in my middle school - the sex eater is also! Let's just say that men like beautiful women, that's human nature. After intersecting with His Royal Highness the Prince for many days, I know that His Royal Highness the Prince must know my Central Plains culture. I believe that His Royal Highness the Prince must have heard it, of course, in our Central Plains, there is a sage who is no less than Confucius who has said a sentence - called the princess marries a hero. At the beginning, His Royal Highness Prince Ling Bazhuo was for Her Royal Highness Princess Lanling of our country, and His Royal Highness knew the reaction. "When Prince Bazhuo and Prince Lumang came to Chang'an together, after Bazhuo saw Li Tang's Princess Lanling, he couldn't hold it, in fact, Prince Lumang was also a little tempted when he saw Princess Lanling. Prince Reckless's reaction was seen by Ling Jing, and he smiled in his heart.

"It's just a pity! I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince's mind is about to be disappointed! ”

"Hmmm! My lord, what do you mean by that!? Ling Jing sighed deliberately.

"Hmmm! His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't hide it, now, the Prince's Xue Yantuo Khanate has some misunderstandings with our Li Tang. Lu Mang quietly listened to Ling Jing's narration.

"Hey! This is the case, Lord Ashnasmo was ordered by our Majesty to go to Mobei to inspect, but the prince of your country is talking nonsense everywhere, saying that we Li Tang secretly supported Lord Ashnasmo and re-established the Turkic Khanate. Ay! It seems that Prince Bazhuo has a deep prejudice against the prince and our Li Tang! Hearing Bazhuo's name, Prince Zao's heart tightened - Bazhuo and Zao had a great hatred, not only that, but Zao's mother could be said to have been killed together with Bazhuo's mother. Prince Bazhuo was also the biggest contender for the throne of Prince Mang in the Xueyanta Khanate. It can be said that pulling out the burning and recklessness is the relationship between life and death.

"It's Bazhuo again!" Trolley clenched his fists.

"Prince Reckless, it's not a secret, the princess of His Majesty the Emperor is still young, but there are still several princesses of His Majesty the Emperor who have not yet left the cabinet, if His Royal Highness can promote this peace for our dynasty, our Majesty hopes to be close to Xue Yantuo." After Ling Jing's words were finished, Prince Reckless's face glowed with excitement.

After listening to Ling Jing's promise, the desire in his heart increased greatly, and during his time in Chang'an, Lu Mang saw the prosperity of Li Tang in the Central Plains with his own eyes, as well as the grandeur of the palace, and although Xue Yantuo had the desert Gobi and the Jin Ge Iron Horse, it was more desolate than the drizzle and breeze in the south, and in addition, when he was in Xue Yantuo, Yan Lide often muttered about the profundity of the Central Plains culture in Lu Mang's ears, which made Lu Mang originally have the heart to take refuge in the Central Plains. Now he has the opportunity to gain a foothold in Li Tang, and he may also become a dignitary of the Li Tang court. This kind of thing, why not.

"Prince Troll, why don't you stay a few more days? It's going to be gone so soon! After Lu Mang made up his mind, he immediately went to Taiji Palace to say goodbye to Li Jiancheng, and when Li Jiancheng heard that Lu Mang came to say goodbye, he knew that Ling Jing must be done.

"Ahh Your Majesty! The foreign minister is responsible for making peace with Li Tang, and now Li Tang has some misunderstandings with us Xue Yantuo, and the foreign minister should return to his hometown to solve the misunderstanding between Li Tang and Xue Yantuo. Li Jiancheng nodded. Then, Lu Mang spoke again:

"Your Majesty! There is a reluctant invitation to go to Xue Yantuo! ”

"Hahaha! Prince Troll, please speak! He blushed and said:

"Your Majesty! The minister heard that Li Tang's emperor still has a few princesses who have not yet left the cabinet, and the minister wants to ask His Majesty for a decree to marry a princess of the Emperor Taishang when the time comes, Your Majesty's sister, I just don't know if Your Majesty will agree!? Li Jiancheng looked at Ling Jing. Ling Jing lowered her head slightly. Li Jiancheng smiled:

"Oops, kiss and kiss! My heart is very good! That's great! Hahaha! Li Jiancheng said in his heart - what is a sister, Li Tang's princess is not easy to mess with, since you want to marry, marry it! Besides, when the time comes, you will help me eliminate Xue Yantuo, and you will be regarded as a great contribution to me! What if I give you a princess?
