"It turned out to be Sun Xian, what is Your Majesty's will?" When the lieutenant came to the front, Wang Chengen greeted him and asked enthusiastically.

The eunuch named Sun Liu, who served as an old acquaintance as Wang Chengen, asked anxiously: "Wang worship, what about the Marquis of Shouchang County, there is a decree in the saint, announcing that he will immediately return to Beijing with our family to face the saint." ”

Wang Chengen said: "Xiao Hou has tamed the horse, you can see it half a moment earlier, wait while resting." ”

Walking through the campsite that stretched for six or seven miles, seeing so many envoys and caravans, so many prisoners of war, and so many camels carrying booty, Sun Liu and the others were also shocked. When they heard Wang Chengen talk about the experience of this battle and the abundance of loot, they were completely stupid.

No wonder His Majesty the Emperor values the Marquis of Shouchang County so much, he is really not a mortal, not to mention brave and invincible, but also knows everything. He knows that His Majesty likes pomp and circumstance, and He also knows that His Majesty is obsessed with the pursuit of immortality, and the Marquis of Shouchang County has made such a great achievement, and he is a disciple of the immortals, so His Majesty's favor for him in the future can be imagined.

The key is that he is also very rich, and he is generous, just now his subordinates gave each of them a money bag, Sun Liu secretly glanced at it, and he had nearly a hundred gold coins and many jewels in it. Sun Liu was overjoyed, such a future star, take this opportunity to have a good stutter.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a neighing of a horse in the distance, like a roar of a tiger and a dragon, and then a cloud of white light was seen moving rapidly in this direction. Sun Liu stood up involuntarily, and only then did he see a handsome man riding on a snow-white, silver-glowing, and extremely strange-looking giant horse. Both people and horses appear to be in high spirits, and the perfect combination of people and horses gives people an incomparably shocking feeling.

Man is like a god, and a horse is like a heavenly horse.

Sun Liu was stunned and stunned, until Xiao Qu was sick and jumped off the giant horse, and asked him out loud before he reacted, took out the holy decree in his arms, and said loudly: "Hou Xiao of Shouchang County is sick to receive the decree!" ”

…… Xiao Quzhi was also stunned, he didn't expect Emperor Li Longji to be so anxious. He explained: "Angel returns, I still have some personal belongings in Qiuzi, I have to go and get them back first, and I also have to arrange the military affairs here, can you follow the army and wait for me for two days, and then rush back to Chang'an together." ”

Sun Liu thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”

…… In the middle of the night, in the big tent, after explaining some military affairs, Xiao Qubing sent the others out, leaving only Li Sheng. Li Sheng did not go to Chang'an this time, he also had to lead his troops back to Longyou.

"Brother Liangqi, you and I are like old friends at first sight, and now we are leaving, and I will go straight to some words." Xiao Quzhi said with a serious face.

Li Sheng looked at Xiao Qu's illness seriously, Xiao Qu's illness was indeed very angry with him. And he also felt that Xiao Qu's illness was very different to him, which could be seen from the joy and excitement on his face when he met for dozens of miles for the first time. Later, in the battle of Mulu, he took special care of himself and asked him to lead his troops to ambush outside Xicheng, and in that battle, their 4,000-day army was the most captured by the enemy. If it weren't for Gu Xiaojun's relentless pursuit, even the credit for the living black-clothed Emperor would be his own.

In the past three months, Li Sheng has always had a strange feeling that Xiao Quzhi is very familiar with him and appreciates it. And he is very trusting, and he has always said that his ability to march and lead troops is not as good as his own, but the various tactical tactics he explained to himself in private, such as slash formation, movement warfare, and guerrilla warfare, are very exquisite.

Anyway, it didn't feel strange, it puzzled him, and now it was finally time to reveal the mystery.

Li Sheng said with a solemn face: "The auxiliary minister has something to say. The two had already called each other.

"What do you think of today's situation?"

Li Sheng didn't beat around the bush either: "Auxiliary minister, I know what you mean, you used to compare manors, guard commanders, and robbers, but you are alluding to today's situation?" What can the Guardian Commander say is Northeast Hu'er? ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded: "That's what I'm talking about." After a pause, he leaned his head over and whispered, "If I can't say that the world will be chaotic in four years, can you believe it?" ”

"I believe it!"

"Heaven is falling, this is the result of my master's divination before I went down the mountain." Xiao Quzhi stared at Li Sheng with burning eyes: "Master ordered me to go down the mountain, in fact, it is not just to help Gao Cheng win the battle in the river, but really to save the sky, are you willing to help me and save the sky together?" ”

"Then Hu'er will really rebel?"

"He is already plotting a rebellion, and he has secretly set up a snake tooth organization; private Xi, Khitan, and Tongluo warriors; organize Hu merchants to sell goods for profit; Storing weapons and war horses, he also sent snake teeth to assassinate on the way to Anxi this time...... All kinds of piles, he will be undoubted! ”

"Why don't you report to the Emperor?"

"That Hu'er is deeply favored, and he is used to pretending to be stupid and loyal, not to mention, to say a big disrespectful word, the emperor is no longer as wise as he used to be."

After a long silence, Xiao Quzhi continued: "I am a person from outside the world, and Master sent me down the mountain to ask me to save the sky. However, my elder is nothing more than a divine power, charging into battle. Leading troops to fight, and the two armies are facing each other, which is really not what he is good at. pretending to be stupid and obedient in the court, and intrigue will not be at all. Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the traitorous ministers in the court will be in charge, and I will be plotted by someone when I go to Chang'an, and I will be killed if I can't say it, just like the story of Qingyuan County Duke (Wang Zhonghei).

…… However, I never forget my original intention, I always listen to the master on the mountain to talk about the prosperous Tang Dynasty, majestic and magnificent, the body can not reach, and my heart yearns for it. Although I haven't seen the glory of Chang'an City and the majesty of Daming Palace, I love this Tang Dynasty, and I am not willing to accept the sudden collapse of this prosperous world. What do I want to salvage and protect...... The heavens are tilting, the country is suffering, I am willing to save the heavens and protect the Tang Dynasty from being destroyed by Hulu. Good tool, would you like to? ”

The more Xiao Quzhi spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Sheng with a sincere face. Li Sheng was originally a loyal and righteous character, and he was also excited at this time, his eyes flashed, his eyes were red, and he said excitedly: "I am willing!" ”

…… Two days later, Xiao Qu quickly retrieved the suitcase placed in Gao Xianzhi's festival hall from Qiuzi City, and had a short meeting with Gao Xianzhi, who had rushed back to Anxi in advance to deal with important military and political affairs, and Feng Changqing, who was left behind. After that, he quickly caught up with the large army of Chang'an, followed Sun Liu and more than a dozen thousand knights all the way non-stop, stayed overnight, and rushed to Chang'an.

After passing the Yumen Pass, it seemed to be two heaven and earth, and the population increased suddenly, and the climate in the north during the Tang Dynasty was much warmer than now. Yumen Pass to the east, along the way Lu Yan look at each other, mulberry and hemp fields, there are more and more Han people, a piece of antique black and white pastoral farmhouse ink painting to see Xiao go to the sick dizzying.

More than a dozen people, one person and three horses take turns to ride, and they can travel more than 300 miles a day. Twenty days later, on October 26 of the tenth year of Datang Tianbao, Xiao Qubing finally saw the magnificent Chang'an City. It was the first city in the world with a population of more than one million, and it was the largest capital in the world before modern times. She was four times the size of Beijing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, six and a half times larger than the "God-given" Baghdad city that was about to be built in another time and space, and seven times larger than Constantinople, the capital of Byzantium at the same time.

Xiao Qu was ill for a long time and watched this miracle of civilization created by his ancestors, and couldn't help but burst into tears with a pilgrimage mood. The things I want to protect, since I crossed over, I have imagined her appearance in my dreams countless times, and now it is truly displayed in front of my eyes.

"Shouchang County Hou, why are you crying?"

"I'm ...... excited"

ps: I stayed up late yesterday and caught a cold, I was groggy all day, and I wrote 2,000 words with a runny nose at night. Originally, it was planned that this chapter would be one hundred and twenty-four chapters, but today the next volume will be opened, and I will write an audience with Li Longji. I can't write it now, so I'll write it tomorrow, I hope the cold will get better. I also hope that readers will remember to add a piece of clothing and don't follow me.
