From time to time, there was the sound of lightning and thunder outside, and the bean-sized rain was pouring down, hitting the water tanks in the house and yard, making a noisy sound of "crackling". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hakimu stood in the attic, looking in the direction of the imperial city with his hands behind his back. In the wind and rain, there were soybean-sized lights in the imperial city, swaying in this rainy night.

The sound of commotion and explosions in the imperial city woke Hakimu, who had been asleep before, from his dream. He walked to the window and looked at the palace, but found that in the huge palace, the King of Tianzhu did not appear to go to the imperial city, and there was only a dead silence in the palace.

There was a loud bang, and a thunderclap woke the sleeping earth, and at the same time, lightning pierced the night sky, turning Hakimu's face a miserable white.

The soldier who was bent down and standing behind Hakimu inadvertently caught a glimpse of Hakimu's gloomy face, and was shocked, so he quickly lowered his head, looked at his toes in the dark, and said nothing, cold sweat flowed from his back.

"So, the famous king is not in the palace tonight?" Hakimu turned the wine glass in his hand, looked at the heavy rain outside, and said to himself: "You guys were deceived by the king's men so easily? ”

The soldier was not afraid to speak, but bent his waist lower, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead on the planks of the attic.

Hakim quietly looked at the palace in the rainy night, and after a short time, he found that the king of Tianzhu was hurrying into the palace with a group of people, and then hurriedly led them to the backyard.

The backyard is said to be the ancestral hall of King Tianzhu and his family, which enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of King Tianzhu and their family, and is a forbidden place in the palace, and Hakimu has never been allowed to enter. Now seeing the King of Heavenly Pillar leading the soldiers into the backyard, Hakimu's eyes narrowed unconsciously.

Hakimu's faint cold voice came from the darkness: "No matter what the cost, tomorrow you will find out the situation in the backyard of the palace, and then put the results at the head of my bed." This time it is not allowed to fail again, do you hear? ”

The soldier listened to what Hakimu said in his ear, like a snake wrapped around his neck, broke out in a cold sweat, clenched his fists, and then left the attic as fast as he could, and soon disappeared into the black rainy night.

King Tianzhu let his subordinates stay outside the ancestral hall to guard, and he first changed the damp clothes outside into clean clothes, wiped the rain from his head and face, tidied up his clothes, and then respectfully walked into the ancestral hall.

Torches with thick arms of babies are placed on both sides of the ancestral hall, illuminating the entire ancestral hall. In the ancestral hall, the upper and lower rows of spirit cards are neatly placed in the temple, and the back of each spirit card is written with the corresponding person's life scenery deeds or outstanding contributions.

King Tianzhu lit incense for his ancestors, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times reverently, raised his head to look at each of the spirit tablets on it, thinking that his ancestors were by the side of the khans of the past dynasties, the road was blue, the territory was expanded, and the foundation of Tuyuhun was laid today, and his expression couldn't help but be a little trance.

After sitting on the ground for a long time, the Pillar King suddenly stood up, walked to a rusty iron shelf with candles on the side of the wall, pushed it to the left with all his might, and then turned around and looked at the flat ground in front of him.

"Squeak", there was a sudden sound of heavy gears turning underground, and a ground in the ancestral hall cracked on both sides, revealing a pitch-black passage. The Pillar King took the torch from the wall and walked down the steps step by step, disappearing into the steps. The slabs began to slowly close in the middle, and finally returned to their original appearance.

The torches made a roaring sound in the temple, and the whole ancestral hall was empty, and from time to time strong winds carried raindrops through the cracks in the door and blew in from the outside. The torches on the surrounding walls were blown by the wind, making a whirring sound, and the flames kept swaying, and the shadows on the walls and the ground also swayed.

The rain fell all night and did not stop until the next day, when it was almost dawn. The dust of the day was washed away by the rain, the smell of earth floated everywhere in the air, and the fragrance of trees and flowers in the palace was exceptionally fresh, exuding a faint fragrance to the outside.

"Squeak", the sour sound of tooth loss from the friction between the woods sounded, and the door of the ancestral hall, which had been closed tightly for a night, opened from the inside, and a cool breeze blew in from the outside, blowing out the torches on the wall inside, and suddenly, the inside of the ancestral hall became dark, and when you looked inside from the outside, you could hardly see anything inside.

The Heavenly Pillar King stretched his waist and yawned, walked out of it, glanced at the sky that was still dark, and walked to the open space in front of the ancestral hall to move his muscles. At this time, one of the guards next to him walked up to the side of the Heavenly Pillar King and whispered, "Famous King, last night we caught ten more dead soldiers who tried to break into the backyard, and one of us was slightly injured. ”

"All dead?" The King of Heavenly Pillar took a big knife and danced vigorously.

"As before, not only are they dead, but their faces are still scratched, and they basically can't recognize their appearance!" The guard bowed and said.

The Heavenly Pillar King danced for a while, sweating profusely, then put the broadsword back on the weapon rack, took the towel next to him to dry the sweat on his body, and then turned to look at the guard.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Hakim's side, and notify me immediately if there is any change. If the situation is urgent, you can cut it first and then play! The King of Heavenly Pillar walked out of the backyard behind his back, and instructed as he went: "As for Hakim's army, they are all in prison for me, and they will never be allowed to make trouble!" ”

The guards bowed down and immediately retreated to arrange various matters.

The King of the Pillars of Heaven looked in the direction of the side where the Pillars of Heaven lived, and saw that in the darkness he could still vaguely see the cornices of the attic where the Pillars lived, and the tall attic blocked the Pillars King's view, which made his heart a little irritable.

However, at the beginning, Hakimu was accepted as a staff member, firstly, so that he could use his status as an Arab Empire to do some things in the future, such as the place to the west of Zhaowu Jiu, the Arab Empire still has a certain deterrent effect; The second is to see how the Arab Empire trained its army, and asked Hakim to help him train a strong army to confront the Tang army.

Now the second purpose has finally been achieved, and then he himself has lost an army to the cunning Hakim. Unexpectedly, he was deceived by this guy Hakimu after all, and he was really blinded by the geese pecking all day long!

Thinking that almost all of his armies had now become Hakim's private army, and that they had all become fanatical cultists, King Tianzhu felt a little annoyed in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that the other party still has some use value, he would have been killed a long time ago!

Hakimu, who had not slept since waking up, hung his cloak and opened the window, and the wet wind hit his face head-on, filling him with the coolness of the night. He had just received news that he had more than a dozen dead soldiers, all of whom were lost in the battle with the close guards of the Heavenly Pillar King during the operation to explore the backyard of the palace tonight.

Hakimu looked out, and when his gaze reached an angle, he suddenly stopped, for he felt that someone was quietly watching him in the darkness in the distance.

The Pillar King looked in the direction of Hakimu, and also sensed that someone over there was looking this way.

The eyes of the two looked at each other in the palace, and at this moment, both of them knew very clearly that it was each other's eyes that were looking at them.

Hakimu's lips curled slightly, revealing a mocking expression. Now that I control an army of thousands of people, can you, the Heavenly Pillar King, still handle me casually?

With a sneer on his face, the Heavenly Pillar King glanced at Hakim's side, turned around and left with his own people.

"It's not that I don't want to move you, but it's just that I haven't time to move you!" The Pillar King muttered in a low voice.

"Don't make any moves yet," Hakim said to the soldiers behind him, standing by the window, "We haven't reached the time to show off our strength, and the army should strengthen training to deal with all kinds of emergencies that may occur next!" ”

The soldier bowed and retreated.

In the early dynasties, Fuyun Khan still put forward the idea of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, but he was still strongly opposed by the king of Tianzhu.

"Khan, I, Tuyuhun, have been oppressed by the Central Plains since the Sui Dynasty and have never yielded! Now that he wants to become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, isn't this a bit too child's play? ”

Fu Yun glanced at the Heavenly Pillar King standing in the center of the main hall, without any expression on his face, looking unusually calm.

"I've made up my mind, don't say anything more about the Heavenly Pillar King!" Fu Yun changed his words and continued: "According to the news we have gotten, the wind song of Hou Bai of the Tang Dynasty has been secretly in Liangzhou City for a while, and the one who followed him this time should be the most mysterious Cloud Breaking Army that the Shenlong has seen without seeing the end!" ”

When the people in the main hall heard the news, several generals who had heard of the military deeds of Breaking Cloud were very surprised.

"Last night, a group of men in black attacked the Imperial City Tower and used a brand new explosive weapon, causing relatively high casualties to the defenders!"

The entire hall was in an uproar.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?" The Pillar King asked anxiously.

Fu Yun glanced at the Heavenly Pillar King lightly, shook his head and said, "Fortunately, General Howling Wolf arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would really be unimaginable!" ”

King Tianzhu knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "The old minister was late to save the car last night, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him!" ”

"Okay, okay, I don't mean to blame you for this, you get up first." Fu Yun lowered his head and looked at the Heavenly Pillar King, and continued: "Now that the Cloud Breaking Army has entered the Liangzhou Territory, it is difficult to guarantee that they have not infiltrated our range, because all departments are required to cooperate closely and be vigilant!" ”

Fu Yun actually has some answers to last night's sneak attack in his heart. At this point in time, the Tang Dynasty sent the Cloud Breaking Army to Liangzhou, which was very obviously to deal with Tuyuhun. Last night's attack could not be ruled out by the Cloud Breaking Army, who deliberately came to provoke the relationship between themselves and the Heavenly Pillar King. Of course, Fu Yun also expressed a lot of dissatisfaction with the failure of the Heavenly Pillar King to appear.

"In order to express our sincerity in Tuyuhun, the Ministry of Rites quickly formulated the personnel of the envoy and sent the envoy to Datang as soon as possible, there must be no mistake!" After Fu Yun issued the corresponding task, he announced his retreat from the dynasty.

After retreating from the court, the king of Tianzhu immediately returned to the palace, walked into the study house, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and finally, said to the soldier who sent the letter very seriously: "This letter will be sent to our army near Shancheng immediately, and it is bound to be handed over to General Xiao!" ”

Liangzhou City, the Governor's Mansion.

Li Daliang and Niu Jinda sat in the hall, looking at the letter sent by Tuyu Hun Fuyun, nodding while reading.

"I will send someone to report this to Your Majesty. When will you Fu Yun send someone into my Datang country? ”

"The Khan will notify the two of them separately after the Ministry of Rites has selected suitable candidates, please wait for our news." Tuyuhun's envoy informed Li Daliang and Niu Jinda of the matter, and then went back non-stop.

"Do you think this will happen?" Li Daliang looked at Niu Jinda and asked.

Niu Jinda laughed, patted Li Daliang on the shoulder and said: "My old cow is a reckless man, he has never known how to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he can't tolerate half a grain of sand in his eyes." Now, you actually make me think about these things, have you eaten too much at Bai Boy's recently, and your brain is stuffed! ”

Li Daliang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed as well.

"In my opinion, Fu Yun doesn't have such a big burden to dare to lie to our Datang!" Li Daliang said with a smile: "If Tuyuhun can obey my Datang, then it will also reduce the pressure on Longyou's side." ”

"I'm afraid that dogs can't change the habit of ****!" The sound of white chess came from outside.

He completed the attack on the Tuyuhun Imperial City last night, and rushed back overnight, but there was a torrential rain on the road, which made his whole clothes wet, and everyone who went out turned into chickens. Hearing that Tuyuhun sent an envoy to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty to lobby, Bai Qi ran back in such wet clothes.

Li Daliang and Niu Jinda looked at the white chess pieces that walked in, looked at the other party's soaked body, and asked, "What is your opinion?" ”

Bai Qi looked at the two of them seriously and said, "The so-called defense is indispensable, and I think we should pay attention to the movements in other parts of Tuyuhun." Especially in the direction of Shancheng, which is very far away from us and very close to Gaochang, it is easy to have problems! ”

Li Daliang and Niu Jinda glanced at each other, and Li Daliang asked, "Little Marquis, are you sure to speak?" ”

Bai Qi measured his head and thought about it, the attack on Shancheng in history was a very important fuse, which made Li Shimin furious, thus starting a bunch of wars between Tuyuhun and Tuyuhun.

"The kid is also conjecturing, but the preparation of both hands must be there. By planning ahead and making a little more preparation, you can reduce your losses even more before disaster strikes! ”

After Li Daliang and Niu Jinda listened to Baiqi's words, they both nodded. (To be continued.) )
