"Does Her Highness regret it?"

With the light of the torches on the boat, Duan Jian saw the pale face on Li Lingyue's face, and for some reason, he couldn't help but ask in pain.

"Uh-huh....."

Hearing Duan Jian's question, and seeing the pity that inadvertently flowed out of Duan Jian's face, for some reason, a warmth swelled up in Li Lingyue's heart, a feeling that had long disappeared from his memory.

She used to be a carefree, like a heavenly elf like a lucky person in the world, the princess of the dynasty, the favorite daughter of the emperor and the empress, who wanted the wind and the rain, but with the departure of her father, all this changed, the mother is still the mother, but there is no longer the warmth of the past, replaced by the ruthlessness of the means for the sake of power.

In the face of the lost and degraded brothers, her once innocent innocence is gone, replaced by a numb, like a walking corpse, which is why she insists on building a Buddhist hall in her home.

This time she followed Duan Jian to Northern Xinjiang, in addition to wanting to regain the extremely slim hope she once had, staying away from this place that made her extremely painful was also one of them.

"How about regrets, what if you don't regret it, can you change anything if you regret it, if you can really use my shell in exchange for the stability of countless poor people, even if you regret it, you should have no hesitation." Li Lingyue shook her head and said.

"Yes...... But this is not fair to you, the dignified Tang Dynasty, Weiwei Huaxia, defending the family and the country is the business of countless hot-blooded men, why should this burden be placed on a weak woman like you, this is not fair, it is unfair to you, and it is not fair to those men who are interested in serving the country with blood. ”

For some reason, hearing Li Lingyue's exclamation that was almost appointed, Duan Jian, who had always been calm and waveless, suddenly surged with anger, monstrous anger.

"Duan Lang.... Are you angry with me? ”

was not dissatisfied with Duan Jian's extremely rude roar, Li Lingyue had a little more expectations and was a little moved in her heart.

"I ........"

Facing Li Lingyue's hopeful gaze, Duan Jian wanted to nod and agree, but an usually extremely simple action, at this time, it seemed to him that it was no less than moving a boulder, he was afraid that he would give this girl hope, but he couldn't let her realize it, if that was the case, he might as well break him at the beginning of this dream.

"Needless to say, Hongu understands."

Without waiting for Duan Jian's answer, although Li Lingyue was a little disappointed, tonight's harvest still made her extremely satisfied.

"Pedal pedal pedal pedal...."

This was the footsteps of Li Lingyue turning around and leaving the deck.

Looking at the pretty back, Duan Jian opened his mouth several times, but still didn't make a sound.

"Duan Langjun, if one day, this palace wants to ask you for a favor, will you help?"

Just when Duan Jian thought that today's conversation was over, Li Lingyue, who was about to climb the stairs, suddenly turned around and asked.

"Her Royal Highness the princess has an order, and the officials will go to the soup and fight the fire, and they will not give up."

I don't know if it was because of the grace of saving her life, or because of my pity for her, Duan Jian said without hesitation.

"What if it costs you your life?"

"I'll die the same."

Duan Jian said firmly.

"Okay, this palace remembers, I hope Duan Langjun remembers today's words."

The moonlight is the same, but Duan Jian, who was standing at the bow of the boat, felt different in his heart than before.

........................

Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Xi'an City

This Xi'an City is not the Xi'an City of later generations, but a small city located in the northwest of Gansu Folk Music in later generations.

When the convoy stopped at the gate of Xi'an, Duan Jian and the others couldn't believe that such a humble place, which was not even as good as a town in the mainland, would actually be the station of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

Duan Jian and his entourage set off in Luoyang, traveled all the way along the canal to the west, and after arriving at Chang'an City, turned to the north, passed through Yan'an, passed through Yulin, and finally arrived at the north gate of the Tang Dynasty, which is also the place where the Central Plains Dynasty and the grassland ethnic groups lived separately, Yanmen Pass.

According to their original thoughts, after leaving Yanmen Pass, after walking for half a month, they were able to reach the same city in the west of Juyan Haixi, where the station of the Anbei Protectorate was located, but unfortunately, when they arrived at Yanmen Pass, they got an extremely depressed news.

Because the Turkic Ashina Guduolu rebelled, in order to avoid the Ashina Guduolu's troops, the Anbei Protectorate moved from the same city to the temporary station, Xi'an City.

In desperation, Duan Jian and his entourage could only turn around from Yanmen Pass to the west, and after walking for more than 20 days, they finally arrived in Xi'an City.

"Lang Jun, do you see if we should rest down first, or go directly to the official office of the Metropolitan Protectorate."

"It's getting late today, let's find a place to stay temporarily, and go to the official office of the capital tomorrow, remember, there are many people here, it's extremely chaotic, everyone wants it, let the brothers not be cautious, don't let those idle people disturb the princess." Duan Jian instructed Zhou Xing.

"No...."

...............

Just when Duan Jian and his party entered Xi'an City facing the sunset, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, which was located in the most gorgeous compound in Xi'an City, was noisy.

"Duhu, now the Turkic dogs are so rampant, then Ashina Guduolu actually dares to blatantly attack my Tang Town, is it unbearable, the last general asks for orders, leads all the troops to attack, and attacks the Turkic dogs."

A general who was almost two meters tall and dressed in fish scale armor stood in the middle of the hall and asked for his command.

"Hehehe, leading the Pingkou army to attack Ashina Guduolu, General Shi thinks that he is Marshal Xue or General Pei, then Ashina Guduolu is as cunning as a fox, plus he has gathered at least 100,000 people under his command, just with the remaining 3,000 people in our hands, how do you fight, do you think they are all iron men."

As soon as General Han's words landed, a voice sounded from the side.

"Hmph, Mi Chang, you gutless man, at the beginning of the Ashina Bone Dolu rebellion, a certain once suggested that Dadu Hu send troops to attack, but what did you say that I waited for the Duhu Mansion to appease Zhufan, and it was not appropriate to use swords, watching that Ashina Gudolu is getting bigger and bigger, and now I can't stay with the city, if I still fight to the death now, do you have to wait until the Turkic dog waving his troops to the south, I have fallen to the point where I am today, it is all your dog to cause trouble, you still dare to speak like this, It's really worth fighting. ”

Hearing that voice, General Dahan Shi rebuked with a hideous face.

"You are reckless enough, blood spews people, you are a guerrilla general, you dare to contradict Yu X like this, it is simply lawless, all protective, the subordinate asked that in accordance with military regulations, Shi Dadao was sentenced to fifty sentences, in order to set an example."

The person who spoke, Mi Chang, the official residence is the Wupin Capital Hufu Sima, finally stood up at this time, but he was short and fat and stood beside Shi Daring, like a child, which made people look a little funny.

It's a pity that no one in the hall dared to laugh at this time, not only that, not even a single gasp.

Everyone looked at the two arguing people in the middle of the hall, and the expressions on their faces were different.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Protectorate was set up to appease and control the alien lands that were defeated by the Tang Army.

At the beginning, it was true, since the Turkic Ashina Guduolu raised troops, the role of the capital protectorate was broken, first in the land of Anbei defeated again and again, and now even the garrison has been forced to move here, if you want to say that you are not discouraged, no one will believe it, but if they let them do the same as Shi Daring said, they will do their best to fight to the death with Ashina Guduolu, but they will not dare, it is good to win, not only can calm the stability of the northern Xinjiang, but also make contributions, but if they lose, what the end will be, they dare not imagine.

It's a pity that seeing that things have come to this point, even the residence of the capital protectorate has been moved here, and if they don't do anything, even if the Turks don't fight, I'm afraid the imperial court will be able to tolerate them.

"Alright, shut up."

Under the order, neither Shi Daring nor Mi Chang dared to say a word.

There is only one person who has such prestige in the entire Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and that is the chief deputy protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Xi Shoucheng.

Speaking of which, Xi Shoucheng may not know much, but when he talks about Lao Tzu, I'm afraid no one doesn't know, that is the legendary young general, Xi Junbuy.

Although there are not many battles in history to win more with less, but there are also a lot, but he can take more than 100 people, kill tens of thousands of enemy troops in chaos, and behead the leader of the enemy army, I am afraid that only Xi Junmai is alone, if it is not for Xi Junmai to die early, I am afraid he will also be able to occupy a place in the Tang Dynasty, which is full of famous generals.

And Xi Shoucheng is the son of Xi Junmai, although Xi Shoucheng does not have the attributes of his father's god of war, but he is quite natural in being an official, from joining the army at the age of twenty to more than 30 years now, from a small school captain to the deputy capital protector of the three products, if it were not for the Dadu Protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protector Mansion who had been led by Li Danyao before, the position of the Metropolitan Protector would be him.

It's a pity that in the strong people, they can't withstand the trials and tribulations of time, Xi Shoucheng, who has passed half a hundred years, has been in the army for many years, and in the bitter cold land of the deep northern Xinjiang, his body is weakened, which is also the reason why Ashina's bones have expanded again and again over the years, but the Anbei Protectorate has done nothing.

The tiger is dead, and the aftermath is there

Even if he is terminally ill, in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, no one dares to challenge Xi Shoucheng's majesty.

"The Metropolitan Protector Mansion has fallen to this point, and as a deputy Metropolitan Protector, it is difficult to escape the blame, and a certain person will ask the court for this matter."

"Why should you be like this, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, besides, in the early days of the rebellion of Ashina Guduolu, we have already played the imperial court and asked the imperial court to send troops, but the imperial court asked me to refrain as much as possible, to be able to delay for so many years, you have done your best, why blame yourself so much." Mi Chang smiled and complimented.

It's a pity that Xi Shoucheng didn't seem to hear Mi Chang's compliment, and then said.

"However, before the imperial court issued an edict and deposed the deputy protector of the capital, I hope you will remember that the deputy protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is still the deputy protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and it is not your turn to make a decision, do you understand?"

In the end, Xi Shoucheng, who was still panting just now, as if he could cut off his breath at any time, had even made himself as tall as a mountain peak, his eyes were round, and his sharp gaze was constantly scanning everyone.

"My subordinates understand."

"If you understand, let's all retreat, and the long history sent by the imperial court in the past two days is coming, tell you in advance, wait, this long history is not an ordinary person, what to do, you think about it yourself, don't shout wrongs when you are in a different place."

Xi Shoucheng said.

.....

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......."

"Why protect this, let them make trouble if they want to, this body is your own, they won't feel distressed when they're tired."

After everyone walked out of the hall, Xi Shoucheng, who was still majestic just now, was instantly beaten back to his original state, and at the same time, he couldn't stop coughing in his mouth.

"A certain unwilling, the food of the king, the matter of loyalty, a certain family is from a poor family, although the father is meritorious, but unfortunately died early, fortunately the fierce emperor is gracious, several times to the grace, so that in a certain thirty years, from a small pawn, the official residence of the three grades, it can be said that it is as kind as a mountain.

It's a pity that not long after the first emperor Bintian, this Anbei Protectorate actually fell to this, and even a thief of different races couldn't help it, a certain shame on the Tang Dynasty, ashamed of the emperor, but unfortunately, there is a desire to kill the thief, but this body is ........."

He took the tea handed over by the person next to him, and after taking a few sips, he sighed.

"You don't have to be like this, although Michang is tactful and selfish, but what he said just now is good, the situation in the north of Xinjiang, reduced to this, is not entirely our responsibility, since the beginning of the rebellion of the Ashina Guduolu, you wrote to the imperial court, want to send troops to crusade, but the court thinks it is a trivial matter, do not care, in addition to the members do not want the northern Xinjiang turmoil, so I wait to endure and endure, until last year, after the Ashina Bone Daolu became bigger, went south to attack Ulzhou, our army was defeated, and the court did not pay attention.

It's a pity that just in time for Xu Jingye's rebellion, the imperial court dispatched a large army to the south to quell the rebellion, and once again missed the opportunity to exterminate them. ”

The person who spoke didn't look very old, wearing a seven-grade official uniform, but he showed a pride in his speech.

"Hey, okay, so far, I can't manage it even if I want to, whether I want to do it or not, I'm afraid I can't last long with this body, I hope that the new long history is really like a rumor, in this case, there is still room for redemption in the situation in the northern Xinjiang, otherwise, this place where countless soldiers have fought down, I am afraid it will fall into the hands of those aliens again."

Hearing Xi Shoucheng say this, the young seven-rank official's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Du Hu, I don't know who the new Changshi is." ”

Looking at the young official with a curious face, Xi Shoucheng also spit out a name with a faint smile on his face, "Duan Jian." ”
