Back in the imperial city, Li Chengqian ran to see Li Shimin and his eldest grandson, left the white chess and returned to Longshou Mountain alone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the tent, Li Tai was tired into a pile of mud, and collapsed weakly on the chair, his eyes looking at the ceiling sadly at a forty-five degree angle, and the fat on his body was constantly trembling.

Next to him, Qin Xiu and Fang Yiai each held a basin and sat at the dining table, eating a big meal. The basin was filled with rice, and the rice was filled with large pieces of pork belly and green vegetables, and the thick soup was poured on it, and the smell of meat came to my nose.

Seeing that Bai Qi came in, Li Tai let out a low moan: "You have been preparing to see this king's joke for a long time, right?" ”

White smiled sinisterly and did not answer Li Tai's question. If he hadn't paid attention, Qin Xiu, such a white, tall, and honest-looking young man, who would have thought that this guy ****** was actually the most thoughtful and ghostly person in the whole army!

Whenever the prince, princess or the heir of the prince had to come to the Cloud Breaking Army, no one in the whole army dared to take over, so Qin Xiu honestly took the initiative to take over the task, and finally trained them to be ghosts crying wolves, but they were still very convinced by Qin Xiu, although they no longer mentioned the matter of the Cloud Breaking Army after going back, but most of them sent someone to send some small things to Qin Xiu during the festival.

This honest look, coupled with this low-key pretending strength, even white had to give a big thumbs up. With his outstanding performance in the army, he was promoted from a small soldier to the position of captain.

"His Royal Highness King Wei is actually quite good, these training subjects are part of the daily devil subjects of our Cloud Breaking Army!" Qin Xiu raised his head from the basin, his mouth was stained with rice dregs, and he praised shyly.

Li Tai closed his eyes and didn't want to speak, this suffering was all self-inflicted, and there was no way to blame others, so he could only sulk at himself!

When it was almost dark, a guard of the forbidden army came to report: "Master Hou, Your Majesty asked you and His Royal Highness King Wei to enter the palace immediately!" ”

White, who was calculating with Li Tai how to install springs on the carriage, looked up and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I don't know, it is said that General Su Dingfang brought back a person from Yumen Pass."

Bai Qi stood up and said to Li Tai with a somewhat solemn face: "It's really a bit of a storm!" Bluefinch, let's go, let's go see! ”

Li Tai glanced at Bai Qi curiously, saw his solemn face, blinked his eyes, obediently mounted his horse, braved the wind and snow, and followed Bai Qi down the mountain.

In the main hall, Khavard and his servant Haz are kneeling on the ground, loudly accusing their eldest brother of ruthlessness and expressing their hardships along the way.

"The great Tang King, my eagle-like grandfather Kusi Lao was killed by the nobles of the Empire, and then my father, who inherited the throne of the Empire, was executed by my eldest brother. Now, the political situation in my Sassanid Empire is turbulent, and there is no one in charge of the overall situation in the country, and at this time, the brutal Heraclius of the Roman Empire is like a ghost, wandering around Ctesiphon, once they break through the blockade line and attack Ctesiphon, then there will no longer be any power in the west of the Tang Dynasty to block the sinister Heraclius. At that time, Heraclius will wave the big knife in his hand and drive straight in, invading the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Cavard and his servants threw their heads on the ground and pleaded loudly: "Please send troops to help me stabilize the political situation in the Sassanid Empire and expel the Roman army that invaded our land!" ”

"This young man, there is something wrong with what you are talking about!" Bai Qi and Li Tai walked in from outside, and after the two saluted Li Shimin, Li Tai walked to his eldest brother Li Chengqian and sat down, while Bai Qi stood next to Kavad.

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai, his younger brother had been willing to appear in the court some time ago, and now he suddenly appeared, which made him a little surprised: "Qingque, are you finally willing to come out?" ”

"Big brother, you know, I just want to do research now, mundane things are very troublesome. Well, the madman said there was something fun, so here I was! Li Tai pouted, sat down in his chair, supported his head with one hand, and looked at the strange-looking Kavad master and servant in the main hall with great interest.

Bai Qi saluted the bigwigs around him, and then asked Li Shimin, who was sitting on it: "Your Majesty, I don't know why you called me here?" ”

Li Shimin smiled: "Boy, you came at the right time, the following two are said to be princes from the Sassanid Empire, and they want to ask the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help them." Then he said to the two Khavads on the earth: "Arise both of you, and come, and give them a seat." ”

Haz helped Kavard to his feet, thanked Li Shimin, and sat down in his chair. Kavad's eyes widened, and he looked at the white chess pieces and said, "My name is Kavad, and I am the grandson of the great Kuslao of the Sassanid Empire!" ”

White snorted and asked strangely in succession, "Are you the concubine of Khavad II the Younger?" Is your eldest brother Ardashir III? Have you been deported? ”

Kavad sighed, he didn't expect that there were people in the far east who were so familiar with the king of their empire, and couldn't help but ask Li Shimin a little cautiously: "Respected King Tang, who is this?" ”

The eldest grandson next to him, Wuji, replied with a smile: "A guest from the Sassanid Empire, this is the youngest Marquis Ziwu of my Tang Dynasty, who once followed his father to your empire. ”

The sinister eldest grandson Wuji, what this means is that I, Datang, know you well, don't talk nonsense, we Datang are not responsible for the consequences of saying the wrong thing! Frightened, Kavard's eyes began to flicker, and his whole body looked a little restrained.

But there was a huge wave in White's heart. The wind from which this butterfly fanned itself blew to distant Asia Minor? History has never said that during this period, there were Persian nobles who fled to the Tang Dynasty! How many turns have the ruts of the wheel of history turned?

"Dear Prince Cavard, when did you leave Ctesiphon?" White asked curiously.

"Dear Highness the Meridian Marquis, it has been more than two years since I left the empire!" Kavad sighed and bowed his head in despair.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince must not know that the Sassanid Empire is no longer ruled by your eldest brother, but now it is the regent council of the nobles acting for state affairs. Your eldest brother has been deposed by Shahbarez, but Shahbarez is not far from death! White sorted out the thoughts in his mind, dissecting the history he knew little by little.

As he spoke, he paid attention to Kavard's hand on his chest, first relaxed, then clenched, then loosened slightly, and more recently tightened again, his chest rising and falling with his breathing.

Li Shimin suddenly said loudly at this time: "Prince Kavad has come from afar, go down to rest first, and we will discuss the specific matters tomorrow!" ”

Kavad, who had a calm expression on his face, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his right hand flat in front of his chest, and bent down with his servant Hazi to give Li Shimin a big salute: "Dear Tang King, thank you for your generous hospitality, Kavad hopes to get the friendship of the powerful Tang Dynasty!" ”

Watching the two of Kavad gradually disappear into everyone's eyes, Li Shimin's eyes glowed with an unusually bright glow full of wisdom: "Boy, do you think what this person said is credible?" ”

White took a step forward with a sly smile on his face: "Your Majesty, we just need to believe his words!" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, they were all old foxes, and the meaning of the white chess words was really the most obvious! Aren't we in need of a perfect moral excuse, and now we've found it!
