"You better read Mrs. Sister-in-law's letter first, let's talk about it!" Li Tao said with a smile.

Ashina Xian nodded, stopped talking, just lowered his head and looked carefully.

After a while, Ashina Xian finally finished reading, he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Li Tao: "It is said that the family letter is worth 10,000 gold, and I have thanked King Lantian!" ”

Li Tao smiled and said: "I have to thank me, I have a bigger piece of good news, thank me after you hear it!" ”

"What's the good news?" Ashina Xian asked eagerly

"Mrs. Sister-in-law won't let me tell you!" Li Tao sold a pass.

"Huh?" When Ashina heard this, he immediately scratched his ears and cheeks, and he didn't know what to do.

"Still, I think it's better to tell you!" Li Tao continued to hang Ashina's appetite.

"King Lantian, please speak!"

Li Tao stared at Ashina for a long time before he said seriously: "You're going to be a father!" ”

"What?" Ashina Xian didn't react.

"My sister-in-law is pregnant, and you're going to be a father!"

This time, Ashina Xian understood, he was overjoyed, and stood up suddenly: "Is this true?" ”

Li Tao glanced at Ashina Xian: "Can I joke about this kind of thing?" ”

"Hahahaha!" Ashina Xian laughed and said, "I'm going to be a father!" Lantian King, when did this happen? ”

"When I came, Lang Zhong confirmed that his sister-in-law was pregnant, and it has been more than four months now!"

"Thank you so much, Lantian King, how do you say you want to thank you?" Ashina said incoherently.

"Thank me for what?" Li Tao couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is your own credit, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Let's talk about it. Li Tao said: "Okay, the family matter is over, you are fine, let's have fun." Tell me about your arrival in the Western Regions! ”

Ashina Xian is also a person who knows the importance of the matter, hearing Li Tao say this, he nodded and sighed: "To be honest, the situation in the Western Regions is very chaotic now, even worse than we imagined!" ”

"Be specific!"

"Now in the Western Regions, not only are the Turks intervening, but also the Great Cannibals are also stirring up the situation. It is said that the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu are already in danger. ”

Li Tao nodded and said, "I already know this situation, but fortunately, the Turks and the Great Cannibals are already in a state of confrontation. This is tantamount to buying us time, so you should hurry up and gather the people of the ten Turkic surnames. ”

"Lantian King, things are not as simple as you imagine. Originally, I was able to recruit the old department quite smoothly, but now I'm in trouble again. ”

"What's going on?" Li Tao frowned.

"Before I came to the Western Regions, someone had already begun to gather ten people!"

Li Tao was surprised: "How is it possible? Who has such a big appeal? Can you gather ten surnames? ”

"It's Ashina Dudan!"

"Ashina Dudan? Could it be that he is also a member of your Ashina family? Li Tao guessed.

"Exactly, Ashina Dudan is a partial branch of the Ashina family. It was he who was gathering the ten Turkic surnames under the banner of my Ashina family. ”

Li Tao pondered: "Since you are a member of the Ashina family. Will you bring him to your side? ”

Ashina Xian shook his head: "This is impossible!" ”

"Why?"

"Because there are Tubo people behind him to support him, he won't throw himself at me!"

"Tibetans?" Li Tao seemed to understand a little, and he sneered: "It seems that the Tubo people also want to fish in troubled waters in the chaos of the Western Regions. ”

"That's why I said that the situation in the Western Regions is very unfavorable for us!" Ashina dedicated.

"Since that's the case, then our deployment has also been adjusted!" Li Tao asked again, "How is the situation in Turgish?" ”

"Kang Lu has inherited the Turgish Khan, but he is quite dissatisfied with the imperial court, and if it weren't for you this time, he would never have come to the North Court." Ashina Xian glanced at Li Tao and said: "The imperial court's approach this time is indeed a bit biased, no wonder Kang Lu has so much resentment. ”

"Yes. If this were not the case, the Western Regions would not be where it is today. It is inevitable that Kang Lu will have resentment. I can understand. Li Tao asked again, "Can Kang Lu restrain the various tribes of the Turgish?" ”

"I don't know much about this, so ask him then!"

"Does Kang Rook also live in the inn?"

Ashina Xian nodded: "Exactly!" ”

"Brother Ashina, you arrange for someone to call Kang Lu here, just so let's talk!"

"Okay!" Ashina said yes, turned around and walked out.

After a while, Ashina Xian walked into the house with two people, led by Kang Lu. Li Tao couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Kang Lu, they were only half a year apart, Kang Lu seemed to have changed as a person, not only grew a beard, but also his face was full of vicissitudes, and it could be seen that his father's death had indeed hit him a lot.

"Lantian King, is it really you? I thought the crumbs were scolding me! Kang Lu saw Li Tao, and his face showed surprise.

"I thought you didn't want to pay attention to me because of the changes in Turgish?" Li Tao smiled and hugged Kang Lu.

"How so? What does this have to do with you, even if I want to find bad luck, I won't find you. ”

"King Lantian, don't come unharmed?" Just then, a sweet voice rang out.

"Snow Lotus? You're here too? Li Tao joked to Ashina Snow Lotus behind Kang Lu: "I will occupy your Kang Lu for a few days, you won't be at ease, right?" Do you want to come from so far away? ”

"Lantian Wang said it was funny!" Ashina Xuelian blushed and said: "You helped us so much, I didn't drink our wedding wine last time, I couldn't help it, so I came to invite you to drink!" ”

"Drink!" Li Tao hurriedly nodded: "I'm thinking about it, I'm also here to drink with you!" ”

After that, Li Tao said to Li Bai: "Hurry up and open the ancient treasure wine I brought, and today we can get drunk again." ”

"You're still bringing wine with you so far?" Ashinaxian's eyes widened.

"What?" Li Tao smiled happily: "Knowing that you are here, can I come empty-handed?" ”

"It's still Lantian Wang's thoughtfulness, then we'll get your light!" Kang Lu said politely.

"Snow Lotus, and you, can't you become a shrunken turtle if you become a parent!" Li Tao smiled evilly at Ashina Snow Lotus.

"Lantian King, don't worry, Snow Lotus will accompany you to the end today!" Ashina Snow Lotus shows the boldness of the children of the grassland.

On the afternoon of September 4, more than a dozen horsemen galloped towards Tingzhou. At the head was a general in his fifties, tired and covered in dust. The sergeants at the gate of Tingzhou City couldn't help but be vigilant when they saw that all the people who came were very strong.

The captain who led the team was about to ask, but the general said angrily: "Get out of the way, I am Zhang Xuanbiao of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, hurry up and let Guo Qianqian come to see me." (To be continued......)
