Chapter 213: Where is Long Xueling?
The matter of the envoys was finally settled, and Li Shan's military inspection was meritorious, and the firearms were well-made, but due to improper preservation, the firearms secrets were leaked. Therefore, the merits and demerits are offset by neither reward nor punishment.
In the end, the prince of Tubo and the envoys of the Great Food Kingdom still fled, but they were not caught, and the whereabouts of Mingyue Star are unknown. But Li Shan didn't feel sorry for these two maids, although these two are also superb beauties, which made Li Shan feel extremely satisfied these days.
But for these two people, Li Shan has no feelings at all, because they have never treated Li Shan sincerely, comparing their hearts to their hearts, and both parties are just acting on the spot.
Although Li Shan has some nostalgia for these two maids, it is purely an element of desire. It's like when you eat something delicious for the first time, you can't help but want to eat more, but when you get tired of it, you won't think about it anymore.
I have to admit that Li Shan took advantage of this reason to enjoy it. Although Li Shan did set up this trap in order to lure the Tibetan people to attack. But in Li Shan's subconscious, he still acquiesced in his indulgence. If Li Shan wanted to, he could actually choose other methods, and he didn't have to make Liu Ruyan and Su Jinxi sad.
It's just that sometimes men are really carried away by lust and will be addicted to it and can't extricate themselves. Fortunately, Li Shan can be regarded as a prodigal son and turned back and woke up in time.
However, there was one thing that made Li Shan feel sudden and pleasantly surprised.
On the day that the envoys of various countries left the capital, Li Shan received a letter sent by the envoys of Nanzhao, which was not signed, and the person who sent the letter did not know whose it was. The envoys of Nanzhao came to Beijing very honestly this time, and after thinking that Tang Xuanzong entered the gift list, he discussed with the ministers of Zhongshu Province, and asked the emperor to send troops to help Nanzhao pacify the six edicts.
Because Tubo was defeated by the Tang Dynasty this time, the other five edicts were also shaken, and Nanzhao wanted to take this opportunity to win the six edicts in one fell swoop. Achieve unification. Tang Xuanzong naturally supported it and promised to send 50,000 troops to help Nanzhao.
During this period, except for the first day when he arrived in the capital, the envoys of Nanzhao came to visit Li Shan's mansion, and they did not have any contact with Li Shan after that. Now when he was leaving, he suddenly sent a letter, which made Li Shan a little baffled.
Open the envelope. Li Shan was stunned, because Li Shan knew too well about this trace. It is Long Xueling's handwriting, which reads: I am in Nanzhao, everything is fine, don't read it, Long Xueling.
How are you doing? What about cheating on children? Who the hell sent this letter. Whose hands is Long Xueling in, and why is she in Nanzhao? What is the person sending this letter trying to do?
A series of questions poured out, but Li Shan didn't have any clue now. Too little information is known. The best way is to go to Nanzhao. How can I go to Nanzhao? And you can't go by yourself, the other party can use the people of the Nanzhao envoys, it seems that the power is definitely not small, this time the enemy is in the dark, I am in the open, if there is no perfect preparation, maybe I will be transferred into the trap of the other party.
With it, Li Shan thought of an idea, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In the Zichen Palace.
Tang Xuanzong looked at the excerpt presented by Li Shan and asked, "You asked to lead troops to help Nanzhao quell the rebellion?" Why? You are now the Ombudsman of the Arms Division. It's not a matter of course. ”
Li Shan had already thought of a statement: "The minister thinks that the firearms of the munitions department are now complete, but there is a bottleneck in the development of artillery. Staying at home behind closed doors is a matter of self-reliance, and the courtiers want to use firearms in this battle, and find their shortcomings and improve them. Practice makes sense, and you might even find inspiration to make artillery during this time. The minister implored the emperor to order the minister to lead troops to aid Nanzhao. ”
Tang Xuanzong pondered for a long time and said: "In the battle of Liangzhou, you showed your talent as a general. The Arms Division, as important as it is, is now on the right track. Okay, this time, I will order you to be the general of the expedition to the south, and lead 50,000 Tang troops to help the south to pacify the six edicts. ”
Li Shan was overjoyed in his heart, and respectfully thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”
"What? Xianggong, are you going to Nanzhao? Aren't you the secretary of the Arms Division? Why would the emperor suddenly send you to lead troops to war? Liu Ruyan was surprised when she heard the news.
She naturally didn't want Li Shan to go to such a far place, and she still went to war. The last time I went to Liangzhou, Liu Ruyan was very worried, and at that time he was only a supervisor of the army, and now he is going as a general. Wouldn't that be even more dangerous? Su Jinxi heard the news and turned around and left without saying a word.
Li Shan held Liu Ruyan's shoulders and said, "This time I asked for my life." ”
"Why?" Liu Ruyan's face was incredible.
"Because of Long Xueling, she has disappeared before and has not been heard from, but now that I have received news from her, she should be in Nanzhao. I'm going to find her. ”
Liu Ruyan had nothing to say, and she didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Long Xueling.
In the eyes of women, she is her rival. But Li Shan's deep love for her also made Liu Ruyan empathize, she knew that Long Xueling's status was unshakable in Li Shan's heart, if Li Shan was forced to give up Long Xueling, Liu Ruyan knew that she couldn't do it.
The previous incident between Mingyue and the star has become a lesson from the past, although the matter ended successfully, it gave Liu Ruyan and Su Jinxi a warning. It's just that for the woman Li Shan wants, they can't interfere.
Lee Shan is not a person who will compromise, if you are good to him, he will always remember and be good to you. But you can't go against his will, and if you try to change his will, you'll touch his scales. No one Li Shan will give mercy.
Now Liu Ruyan and Su Jinxi don't want to care about Long Xueling's affairs, and they don't dare to care about it. Even if he is hostile, he can't show it in front of Li Shan, because Li Shan just wants his women to live in harmony.
"Since Xianggong has decided that we will not stop you, Miss Long is Xianggong's life-saving benefactor, and even more so, Xianggong's lover, we know the status of Miss Long in Xianggong's mind." Liu Ruyan said calmly.
"Ruyan, you have to believe me, if something happens to you and any of Jinxi. I will do whatever it takes to save you. You are the people I care about the most, even if you want to offend the emperor and the world for this, I will not hesitate to offend you. ”
Liu Ruyan hugged Li Shan's waist, buried herself in Li Shan's chest and said, "I know, I understand." It's just that you're going to go so far again, and I'm very worried. ”
Li Shan also knew that worry was always inevitable, so he hugged Liu Ruyan into his arms. "Don't worry, I'll be back safely." (To be continued.) )
