"Where are Ashina Xian and Kang Lu now?" Li Tao asked again.

"Ashina Xian is now recruiting the Qarlu Department and the Hulu House Department, and I heard that it is not going well! Kang Lu was made the new khan by the remnants of the Turgish tribe, but the imperial court has not yet been officially canonized! ”

Li Tao sneered: "People's fathers have died due to the mistakes of the imperial court, do you think he still cares about the canonization of the imperial court?" ”

Guo Qianqian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Li Tao speak so bluntly.

Li Tao said: "The key now is to appease Ashina Xian, Guo Daduhu, you quickly send someone to invite Ashina Xian and Kang Lu to Tingzhou, and we will discuss the next move." ”

"There should be no problem with inviting Ashina Xian, it's just Kang Lu, I'm afraid he won't come!" Guo Qianqian said.

Looking at Li Tao's inquiring gaze, Guo Qianqian explained: "After Kang Lu gathered the remnants of the Tuqi Shi, I sent people to invite him three times, but he drove out all the people I sent, and he never even met him, let alone came to Tingzhou. ”

Li Tao waved his hand and said, "You can send someone with confidence, just say that I invite him to come to Tingzhou, and he will definitely come!" ”

"Do you need to show your identity?" Guo Qianqian asked.

"No, just mention my name, in Kang Lu's mind, the word Li Tao has more weight than the title of Imperial Court Qincha!" Li Tao said very confidently, speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and ordered: "By the way, you send someone to invite Zhang Xuanbiao, the deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate!" The chaos in the Western Regions at the moment can only be solved by the simultaneous action of the Anxi Court. ”

However, Zhang Dadu has always looked down on Beiting to protect him. If he refuses to come, what is good? Guo Qian said worriedly.

Li Tao couldn't laugh or cry, pointed at Guo Qian and said, "Look at you, most of you are protective!" Kang Lu, you can't call it, but you still have a will. Zhang Xuanbiao and you are both ministers of the Tang Dynasty, why can't you call for the sake of state affairs? ”

Guo Qian Qian explained: "The Anxi Imperial Court was originally the capital protectorate, but two years ago, the imperial court issued an order to promote Anxi to the metropolitan protectorate, and Zhang Xuanbiao became the deputy metropolitan protector, and his official rank was one level higher than mine. So. I usually go to Anxi to discuss something. There has never been a precedent for him to go to the North Court. ”

After hearing this, Li Tao suddenly asked, "How many days does it take to travel from Anxi to Beiting?" ”

"It's usually about ten days!"

"You send out fast riders, one man and three horses. Day and night, how many days can you get to Anxi? ”

"It's about five days away!"

"Good!" Li Tao said to Guo Qian really: "Prepare paper and pen for me!" ”

Guo Qian didn't know what Li Tao meant, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to serve with pen and ink.

I saw Li Taolong flying and phoenix dancing. In a few moments, it was over.

Li Tao stamped the seal with the great seal of the Qincha that he carried with him. Gently blew the ink, and then handed it to Guo Qianqian: "Zhang Xuanbiao's half life is in your hands, and half of his life is in his own hands, you can do it yourself!" ”

Guo Qian didn't know what Li Tao meant, so he took a look and couldn't help but be stupid, only to see that it was written: Zhang Xuanbiao, deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, is limited to you to rush to the Beiting Metropolitan Protector's Mansion before September 5th. Overtime will not be spared. I'm carrying the sword of Shang Fang. Try it if you don't believe me! The payment was made by Li Tao, the king of Lantian in the imperial court.

Not counting today, Li Tao gave Zhang Xuanbiao a time limit of ten days. This does not include the time when Guo Qianqian sent someone to deliver the letter. Other words. If the North Court is delayed for one more day, the Xuanbiao will be one day less. No wonder Li Tao would say that Zhang Xuanbiao's half life is in Guo Xuanqian's hands, and half of his life is in his own hands. In any case, Zhang Xuanbiao can be regarded as a member of the imperial court, although Li Tao is a Qincha, but he does not have the slightest politeness to Zhang Xuanbiao, it is simply a naked threat. Guo Qianqian could even imagine what kind of expression Zhang Xuanbiao, who had always been empty-eyed, had when he saw this letter.

Li Tao glanced at Guo Qianqian, who was still in a daze, and said softly: "Guo Daduhu, you don't want to announce your personal vendetta and deliberately delay the delivery time, right?" ”

When Guo Qian heard this, he came back to his senses, and without saying a word, he turned his head and ran out. What kind of joke to see, if you want Zhang Xuanbiao to know, it is not clear if you have a mouth.

After Guo Qianqian sent people away, Li Tao was not idle, he proposed to Guo Qianqian that he should go to all parts of Beiting to take a look. Originally, Guo Qianqian wanted to accompany Li Tao in person, but Li Tao insisted on refusing, so Guo Zongqian sent his subordinate Zhengwupin Guoyi Captain Zhang Shouqi to accompany Li Tao.

When Li Tao returned to Tingzhou again, it was already the evening of September 3, and the deadline he gave Zhang Xuanbiao was only one day away.

"Deputy Protector Guo, have Ashina Xian and Kang Lu arrived?" Li Tao asked.

"It's here, it's here!" Guo Qian smiled and said: "It's been two days, Kang Lu has been clamoring to see you, but you haven't come back, so I have to persuade you with good words." He still thinks I'm scolding him, if it weren't for Ashina dedicating to the sidelines, I don't know how to end it! ”

"Where are they now?" Li Tao asked.

"I arranged them in the post house in Tingzhou!"

Li Tao nodded, and asked again, "Is there any news from Zhang Xuanbiao?" ”

Guo Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can it be so fast? It's the limit to be able to arrive in five days, I'm afraid that Zhang Dadu will protect ......"

"No accident, I'm sure I'll be able to get there!" Li Tao smiled meaningfully.

When night fell, Li Tao took Pei Yue and Li Bai to the Tingzhou Post House. He did not go to Kang Lu, but first came to Ashinaxian's residence.

Ashina Xian heard a knock on the door, opened the door, and saw Li Tao and the others, and couldn't help but be stunned: "King Lantian, you have come back?" ”

"yes, I'm coming to see you as soon as I come back." Li Tao quipped: "What? Not welcome? ”

"Welcome, welcome, Lantian King, come, please inside!" Ashina Xian came to his senses and hurriedly put the three of them into the house.

After a few people sat down, Li Tao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ashinaxian: "This is the letter that Mrs. Zun asked me to bring to you!" ”

Ashinaxian's eyes brightened, he reached out to take the letter, and asked hesitantly, "Is she okay with Lianyu?" ”

Li Tao grinned and said, "Okay! What are you worried about living in my house? You are my brother, she is my sister-in-law, who dares to disrespect her from top to bottom of the palace? ”

Ashina Xian and Lianyu, Kang Lu and Ashina Snow Lotus were all married by Li Longji himself, and they became close on the same day. Ashina Xian was grateful for Li Tao's true feelings, and decided to go to the Western Regions only 20 days after getting married. So, he had to leave Lianyu alone at home, which made Ashina feel a little uneasy. I wanted to discuss with Li Tao, but Li Tao was exterminating locusts in Bianzhou at that time. Just when Ashina Xian was a little embarrassed, Hua Jingjing, Suanna and Lu Yue'er came to the door to take Lianyu to live in Lantian Palace.

No need to ask, of course, this is what Li Tao told the three daughters when he left. With Li Tao's care, Ashina Xian had no worries and set off soon. (To be continued......)
