Li Jingchen glanced at the grass pile with complicated eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, her face turned cold after all, and the flame in her hand was about to be put down.

Gu Yuanxi clenched his hands in fear, ready to crash out the moment Li Jingchen made a move, and drew his salary from the bottom of the kettle.

At the moment when Li Jingchen started, a third person's shout came from the thorny grass.

Gu Yuanxi could hear it clearly, it was a woman's voice.

"Twenty Emperors." A woman in a tight-fitting hue suit jumped in front of Li Jingchen and gently arched her hand.

"Dusting, why are you here?" Li Jingchen saw that it was her own maid, and her vigilance Huo Ran fell down with the left hand holding the torch, she frowned and said, "Panic, what's the matter?" ”

Judging from the skills of this maid called "dust removal", Gu Yuanxi immediately affirmed that this maid's martial arts skills are extraordinary, and I am afraid that it is far above this Li Jingchen.

And the dust removal was in his heart, and he did not notice the existence of Gu Yuanxi. After she gently leaned into Li Jingchen's ear and said a few words, Li Jingchen's face immediately changed greatly.

"Is that true?" Li Jingchen's face completely lost the cold arrogance of Fang Cai, and there was a trace of anxiety on her face.

"It's Gao Weng who asked the slave to tell you!" The dust removal face is also extremely serious.

Although Gu Yuanxi couldn't hear what the two were saying, judging from the expressions of the two, I was afraid that something bad had happened. But he didn't have the heart to care or speculate on this, he was thinking about how to get out of the fish all the time.

"This group of lowly dogs dares to be so rude!" Li Jingchen's face turned blue and white, obviously extremely angry, she gritted her teeth viciously and said, "It's really wishful thinking." ”

Dusting looked extremely angry, she hesitated for a moment before she said slowly: "Gao Weng asked the slave maid to inform the twenty emperors, and the sage seems to have thought about it......"

"What?" Li Jingchen was shocked, shook her head violently and said, "Impossible, how could the saint agree to those lowly dogs." ”

Dusty said with a heavy face: "My subordinates don't know, but Gao Weng said that the saint may choose between you and the twenty-two emperors and the twenty-three emperors." She gritted her teeth and said: "After all, among the few emperors who are now unmarried, the insect mother is too young, and the twenty-first emperor is the daughter of Concubine Wu Hui, and His Majesty intends to marry Yang Qi, the son of Yang Xuanqi, the uncle of Concubine Taizhen." Therefore, the candidate can only be among the three of you. ”

Li Jingchen gritted her teeth and said, "Father will never do this. I am a dignified princess of Wanchun, the daughter of the Son of Heaven, how can I be close to the lowly dog Rong of Tubo! ”

Gu Yuanxi's heart was shocked, and he could hear it clearly and clearly. The person who was peeping at him was actually Princess Wanchun, the daughter of the current emperor Li Longji! Moreover, judging from the conversation between the two, it seems that the Tubo people asked Li Longji to ask his own daughter and his pro-Tubo. He shook his head and stared ahead in disbelief.

"Didn't Dr. Wang Zhonghei lead the army to defeat Tibet this year? How can these plateau dogs be so frustrated, how dare they be so delusional-" Li Jingchen's expression returned to the coldness and murderous aura when he chased and killed Gu Yuanxi.

"Since the fourth year of Emperor Zhongzong Jinglong, the Tang and Tibetan countries have been in harmony for 30 years, which has repeatedly been wars, although I have won more than the Tang Dynasty and lost less, but Tubo Zampu has an advantage by virtue of the identity of the nephew of the Tang family and the terrain of the plateau. He can attack when he advances, and he can defend when he retreats. Although our Datang has won many battles, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government talk about benevolence and righteousness, while the frontier defenders are blocked by the terrain of the plateau and mountains, and in fact they cannot fight effectively, so they can only defend and have no choice. Li Jingchen shook her head and sighed when she thought about this.

Gu Yuanxi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect this Wanchun princess to look at the battle situation so thoroughly, the so-called lack of talent in this era is virtue, it seems that it is all.

Dusting also nodded when he heard this: "Since the fourth year of Jinglong, Princess Jincheng and her relatives in Tibet, Tubo has still plundered and invaded Helong year after year. And whenever he loses the battle, he plays the trick of Princess Jincheng and the nephew of the Tang family, and he has tried it repeatedly. It's infuriating. ”

As soon as he said this, his hands rattled, which scared Gu Yuanxi into a cold sweat.

"My poor imperial aunt—" Li Jingchen's face turned gloomy.

Dusty smiled bitterly: "Since the death of Princess Jincheng in November of the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, in the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan of the following year, Tubo seized Shibao City. Now, for five or six years, the Tang and Tu countries have been at war for many years. Huangfu Weiming from the first year of Tianbao to last year Tianbao four years, three attacks on the stone fort city, repeatedly attacked. And Tibet has also been unfavorable in successive battles, and the two armies are in a stalemate. I'm afraid that the ruler belt Zhudan has remembered the trick of kissing again. ”

Hearing this, Dust Removal snorted coldly: "Hmph." The ruler with Zhu Dan is a good abacus. But I am the beloved daughter of the Son of Heaven. Our Tang Dynasty army has gained momentum on the battlefield again, and Tubo still thinks that it can succeed in its treacherous scheme. ”

"No-" Li Jingchen suddenly looked apprehensive when she heard this, shook her head and said: "It is precisely because the war in Tibet is unfavorable that the matter of peace is not a matter of chasing after the wind." ”

"Why? Could it be that we have won the battle and have the upper hand, but we have to be humiliated and friendly like Han Gaozu? Dusty was stunned.

"This is a strategy since Emperor Taizongwen." Li Jingchen smiled bitterly: "My Tang Army is powerful. Unlike the humiliation and affinity after the siege of Han Gaozu Baideng, my Datang has always considered the matter of affinity only after subduing Tubo. In the past, Songtsen Gampo claimed that 200,000 troops attacked Songzhou and threatened Emperor Taizong to promise peace. And I, Emperor Wen, resolutely refused, but sent troops to fight back. Under the counterattack of the right Wuwei general, the bull Jinda of Langya County, and the right leading general, Liu Lan, the prince of Pingyuan County, Tubo was defeated and withdrew, and respectfully asked for peace. Emperor Taizong allowed peace with him. After that, the princess of Jincheng and her relatives took Zhudan, and it was also because Tang Xiujing, who was the ambassador of the military states of Longyou and the governor of Liangzhou at the time, defeated the Tubo people. ”

Legend has it that in the face of the menacing Tubo army, Young Master Tang personally put on armor and went into battle, jumped on a horse to kill, fought six battles and six grams, and accumulated corpses to make a view of Beijing. Therefore, the Tibetan people were afraid to ask for peace and marriage. "Dusting seems to know this history, and can't help but yearn for it.

"Not bad." Li Jingchen smiled bitterly: "If the battle situation is unfavorable and Tubo is violent, it is impossible to succeed in the matter of harmony." But now after Dr. Wang Zhonghe's defeat in Tibet, the situation is different from before. At this time, I asked for peace, maybe-" When she thought of this, her expression suddenly darkened.

"Could it be that Your Majesty will really marry his own daughter to Dog Rong Zampu?" Dusting doesn't seem to believe in this possibility, after all, the highest status of the former relatives is the daughter of the clan like Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng. The former was the daughter of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and the latter was the daughter of Li Shouli, the king of Sui.

"I heard from several imperial brothers that my father is planning to seize the Stone Castle City, which has been lost since the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, maybe ......" Li Jingchen said this, and did not dare to continue. Because the old man in Xingqing Palace was not only the father who loved her, but also the supreme monarch of the entire Tang Empire. And as his daughter, she knows very well what kind of character her father is. That is a person who can not recognize his relatives for the sake of Li Tang's eternal inheritance, and his heart is like iron.

Gu Yuanxi, who was on the side, was also touched by the words when he heard this, the ancient men did not care about the happiness of these women for the sake of hegemony. Even if this person is a nobleman and the daughter of the emperor. Today, he is favored by thousands of people, and tomorrow he may be sent to kiss by the emperor who loves him very much. There have been too many of these things for thousands of years.

Dust's face was worried, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly persuaded him: "Twenty Ji, you and Concubine Taizhen also have a lot of friendship, if you start from her side, maybe you can survive this." ”

"I can survive this, what about Shouguang and Lecheng?" Li Jingchen shook her head sadly and said, "No, if this is the case, I'm afraid one of the two of them will be immune to this difficulty." ”

"But ......" said in a dusty voice: "If not, I'm afraid that it will be you who will kiss you at that time." ”

"No-" Li Jingchen gritted her teeth and shook her head resolutely: "Both of them are my sisters, I must not be so selfish." ”

In order to show her determination, she did not hesitate to throw the torch in her hand to the ground.

Maybe she didn't think that what she had in her hand was a torch, maybe she forgot that the terrain was a thorny grass, maybe she forgot that her original purpose was to hunt down the thief who peeked at her bath, maybe she ignored the fact that the thief was hiding here.

But the consequences of her angry actions were so severe that the flames ignited on the sheaves of grass and then burned out of control in a large area of the grass.

After Li Jingchen saw the fire, she was shocked to remember the purpose of chasing here, and she only then remembered that a lewd thief who peeked at her bathing was hiding here. However, when the dust collector around her saw this, he took her hand in surprise and persuaded loudly: "I'm afraid the fire here will increase, and it's better for Twenty Ji to go first." ”

Li Jingchen was about to say that there was someone in the grass, but when she thought of what happened today, she suddenly realized how she could reveal it to others at this time. Besides, the man was still a thief who spied on her bathing, and didn't his purpose be to kill him in the first place? So he gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart: "The thief is your rudeness first, and this kind of ending is your own fault, and it has nothing to do with me." So he shook his head ruthlessly and followed the dust to leave.

Li Jingchen's behavior made Gu Yuanxi, who was hiding in the grass, bitter. Originally, Gu Yuanxi pondered that if he couldn't escape, he would fight with this woman to break the net, and it would be a big deal for everyone to hang together. But after such a sudden, he was shocked to find that if he was unlucky today, he might have to hang alone in this deserted place.

It's not terrible to die, it's afraid that he will die so badly, and the most terrible thing is that no one will know his whereabouts after death. If you are lucky to die here today, I am afraid that you will only end up with a roast suckling pig. And after Li Qi and Gu Yuanqing in the Taiyi enclosure ten miles away found out that they were gone, I am afraid that they would not be able to think that they would die in Taiyi Pond ten miles away.

"People cross me, I cross. Everyone is playing crossing, but why are others crowning kings and worshipping prime ministers, wives and concubines, all of them are more alive than Wei Xiaobao. And my third brother Gu is going to die so sadly? ”

No, Lao Tzu came here and achieved nothing, how could he die here. He gritted his teeth, used all his strength to feed, spread his legs, and ran against the wind......
