The low city wall is full of mottled traces, and a little moss grows tenaciously on the bluestone wall, like a little psoriasis growing on the city wall. Under the city wall, there are endless tents, a team of barbarian armoured and animal skins surrounded this small city in this way, even a fly can't fly out, and in the place of nearly ten miles away from Rongzhou City, it is also closely monitored by these mountain and forest barbarians, after all, although this place is remote, but there will still be outsiders coming here, and the people inside can't get out, and the people outside will find out about the situation here when they come here, and their affairs will be leaked. This situation is absolutely not tolerated, because they are still very fragile and unable to compete head-on with the imperial army.

In the exquisite wooden house in the center of these tents, Li Chengzong is concentrating on portraying a picture, they are now completely standing in the hostile position of the Tang Dynasty, although their existence in the past also gave the Tang Dynasty a headache, but it did not really threaten the dominance of the Tang Dynasty, but it was just a disease of ringworm, and now it has become a thorn in the back, if the Tang Dynasty knew that they were really going to jump out and fight against the Tang Dynasty, then it would definitely dispatch tens of thousands of troops to suppress it at the first time. Therefore, what Li Chengzong has to do now is to take precautions, first depict the area they can control now, and draw a map, so that he can formulate the most reasonable battle plan, so that the army can exert its strongest combat effectiveness and plan the best way to retreat.

When the city of Rongzhou on the southwest border was besieged, several light horsemen were fast horses. The star-chasing moon was running on the land of Datang, carrying an escort from the major families, heading towards Datang in all directions. What these people brought back was bad news, and it also determined that it was time for these current families in Datang to decide to take sides. Li Chengzong was thoughtful, he not only sent these people to the major families, but also sent a secret letter to Chang'an City, the highest administrative center of the Tang Dynasty. This guy actually had the audacity to give Li Er a lesson, if this news was learned by those big families, they would definitely scold this guy for not being trustworthy, and at the same time they would admire this person's wit. Because if this letter really appeared in front of Li Er, then these great families would all stand on the opposite side of the Tang Empire, and this trick can be said to be completely imaginative, without a trace.

Cheongha-gun. Time passed day by day, Li Kuan still stayed outside the Qinghe, and they did not enter the city, because now Li Kuan came to ask for relatives. If you want to go into the city. There is only one thing, and that is to take Cui Yufei from the hands of the Qinghe Cui family, who is the most suitable person for him in this era. Li Kuan didn't think much of this woman over the years, but as soon as Empress Changsun forced him to get married, the first thing that popped up in his mind was this woman, because in this era that can be said to be strangers, anyone is an ancient person and a stranger to the two of them. Even Li Kuan's favorite sister, Princess Changle Li Liqing. There is also Yuzhang, Gaoyang. Sons and other people, no matter how close they are to Li Kuan, they can't make the passers-by of this era fully open their hearts and tell all their secrets.

So in this era, the two of them are the same, they are the kind of people who hide a big secret deep in their hearts, this heavy sense of oppression is enough to make any person collapse directly, in this case, both of them are the kind of lonely people who are independent of the world, and the endless loneliness in their hearts that needs to be comforted by each other, the kind of loneliness that needs to be relieved by people, which no one can replace. Even if Li Kuan is out of the way, he has already made up his mind, if Qinghe Cui's is really dead heart to hinder this marriage, then he will definitely directly enter the Cui family's door and snatch that woman out.

But his idea, after galloping into Qinghe City with the tired foaming war horse, is about to come to the final result, which is also the reason why Cui Jing has been delaying these times, because their Qinghe Cui clan now has two opportunities to ease the tension between the royal family and their family, one is to directly settle this family affair completely, then the Qinghe Cui family can be regarded as a relative of the imperial family, and then the contradiction between the royal family and the royal family will definitely be resolved, but in this way, it is inevitable that they will completely stand on the warship of the imperial court, to carry the counterattack of the rest of the family together with the royal Li family, and even the reputation of the Qinghe Cui family in the previous year will be ruined. And the second way is to hope that the team that goes to the endless mountains and forests in the southwest border to find the real heirloom jade seal, if it is determined that the heirloom jade seal there is real, this will give them these family bargaining chips, so that the emperor can give up his plan to attack the family, because the heirloom jade seal, which symbolizes the orthodox status of the imperial family, is in their hands and can contain Li Er.

But now that the guard has come to report, all the elites sent out by the entire family have been wiped out, and none of them have returned. This made Cui Jing completely panicked, what happened? Cui Jing only got a few words about what happened in southern Xinjiang from the soldier who came back to report the news, and he couldn't guess what happened at that time. And because of the long journey, this loyal guy of the Cui family, all the way to the saddle horse tired, plus the previous numbness, when the numbness has not faded, in order to return to the family as soon as possible, completely regardless of the body can stand it and gallop all the way back, when he reached the gate of the Qinghe Cui family, the guard had already left his last breath, and when he said the news, he completely spit out this breath, Then, this guy who did not hesitate to run thousands of miles in five days for the sake of Qinghe Cui's clan completely completed his mission - to live in this life for so many years. But if he knew the words he left behind: "The whole army is destroyed...... The words "Wang family......" made the patriarch of the family he was loyal to so shocked, he was afraid that he would crawl out from under the Nine Springs and die again. The original intention of this guard was that the entire army was wiped out, not only the Cui family, the Wang family, the Lu family, the Zheng family, the Pei family, and most of the Tang families were planted. But because he only said half of the soldiers, he died directly, and the result was completely misleading Cui Jing's inference.

"It's hard...... The whole army was wiped out, and only one person was left to return, but he died directly after passing the news! And I'm afraid that thing has fallen into the hands of the Wang family, this family has a blood feud with our family! Cui Jing's eyebrows were furrowed, but he still couldn't guess what was going on, could it be that all the dozens of people sent out by the Cui clan had died? This guy who came back to report is the last survivor? So what do you do when you come back? It's better to die outside together! At least it won't make him so entangled now, and even if he bluntly refuses, he can use it as a bargaining chip for a showdown in the end and exchange some conditions with the kid opposite. But now there is no room for maneuver, because if the Wang clan really got that thing, and gave it to the person who sat at the top of the branch, ate the most delicious fruit, and still held a stick in his hand, the Qinghe Cui clan would have been completely finished, and the thousand-year inheritance would be destroyed. This is definitely not something that Qinghe Cui can afford. So the reason why this guy was able to escape was probably because he turned around and ran away when he saw that the situation was not good!

Cui Jing's speculation completely turned a warrior who had made great contributions to the family into a bastard deserter who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and took action for it: "Come on! Drag this guy out and feed the dogs! Running away from the battle, thinking that you can fool the past by making up a decent excuse? What a joke! Cui Jing gave an order, and as a result, the dogs raised by the Cui clan in the entire Qinghe had another big meal this night, which was regarded as a reward for these dogs for finding Li Kuan's traces a few days ago.

"Let's go...... Come with me to meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu under the city, and our Qinghe Cui clan has agreed to this marriage! Cui Jing was indescribably tired on his face, and finally agreed to this marriage under pressure, which was simply a loud slap on the face of Qinghe Cui's face, and directly swollen his face as the head of the family, but now it is not okay to disagree, for the thousand-year-old inheritance of Qinghe Cui's family, this pass must be passed. Cui Jing would never allow Qinghe's Cui clan's inheritance to be interrupted in his hands. This is also a knot in his heart, a creed that must be absolutely put in the first place.

"Haha...... Rare guests! Master Cui actually went out of the city to talk to Xiao Wang in person, Xiao Wang was very honored! Come on, take out a jar of the sixty-year-old wine fairy that this king specially brought this time! Li Kuan saw Cui Jing standing at the door of his tent, and immediately laughed and beckoned people to bring wine up, this is not an army, although the living conditions now are really not far from the troops who are going out, but there is no prohibition here, so you can still drink.

"It's not better to drink, the old man came here this time for the marriage of His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the little girl, I'm really sorry, there has been no clear answer for so long, because the little girl has been spoiled by clumsy jing!" The embarrassed look on Cui Jing's face flashed, as an old fritter who has been mixing in the court for decades, he has immunity to these ridicules, and now it is this kid who comes to ask for marriage, not that he is in a hurry to marry his daughter, so when he is only a little flustered at the beginning, he will completely cover it up after adjusting his mentality slightly.

"Good! Master Cui is kind and hardworking, Xiao Wang is deeply admired, so from now on, every Tang man who asks to marry a girl from someone else's family must go to the woman's house to show sincerity and impress the woman's family in order to get married! What does Master Choi think? Li Kuan said in a salty and non-trivial manner.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, don't tease the old man anymore, this is also the legacy of the ancestors. I want my Qinghe Cui family, inherited for thousands of years, can be described as one of the most noble families in the world, the family motto can only be respected, and the reason why I agree now is because His Royal Highness the King of Chu is here to show his heart, and there is no out-of-the-ordinary move, which touched an old-timer on our Cui ancestor, and he was especially allowed to come down. Cui Jing explained.

"Haha...... What a Cui family, really extraordinary! The flame in Li Kuan's heart also soared into the sky, this guy is still selling well, it's just hypocrisy! What ancestral teachings? What ancestor deliberately allowed, but it was all a lie, where did the Cui family have any ancestors! There must be something wrong with Qinghe Cui's family! (To be continued......)
