Chapter 470: Ashina's Heart
"I know that you have always opposed the marriage between Xuelian and Kang Lu, not because you look down on Kang Lu, but because of the grievances left by your ancestors. Kang Lu is a good offspring, and Xue Lian likes him too, if Kang Lu can marry Xue Lian, you will be relatives. When the time comes, I'll try to get Conroe back to Turgish to help you. Once you join forces to create a great cause that your ancestors have not completed, what can be the previous grudge? ”
Ashina lowered his head and thought deeply, but he could see that he was already tempted.
"Let's just say this time, in order to save you, Kang Lu knelt in front of me, promising that as long as he can save you, he is willing to do everything, do you think his feelings for you are fake?"
Ashina Xian raised his head, opened his mouth but said nothing.
Li Tao hit the railroad while it was hot: "If you agree, I will let Your Majesty marry Snow Lotus, and after they get married, you will go to the Western Regions, how about it?" ”
Ashina Xian finally spoke: "King Lantian, I just want to know, did you just say these words on behalf of the imperial court?" ”
Li Tao shook his head: "No, I'm just saying it on my own behalf, if Brother Ashina agrees, I will try my best to facilitate this matter." However, there is one thing I have to remind Brother Ashina, how much power comes how much responsibility, the current Western Regions is different from the past, you must be soberly aware. ”
"Oh? What's the difference? ”
Li Tao said what he had said to Li Longji before to Ashina Xian without reservation, and then added: "Not only is it possible for Tubo and the Eastern Turkic Muryu to unite, but I have obtained information. The Great Cannibals from the West not only invaded the territory of the original Western Turks, but also were ready to move on the Tang border. Therefore, the burden on your shoulders is not light. I hope you've thought it through before answering me! ”
Ashina Xian nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you for the reminder from King Lantian, I will seriously consider replying to you as soon as possible!" ”
Li Tao raised his glass and said, "I'm waiting for your good news!" Alright, now let's have a drink! ”
……
In the afternoon of this day, Lianyu was entertaining herself by playing the piano in the back room, and an old bustard sent a maid to invite her to meet a guest. Lianyu stopped playing the qin and asked Ming Yahuan, and learned that the visitor was Ashina Xian.
Lianyu asked, "Didn't he claim to have brought a newly found jade piece again?" ”
"Exactly!" The maid nodded.
"What an infatuated man!"
Lianyu sighed, but still got up and dressed up slightly. Go downstairs with the maid.
In the front hall, Ashina Xian sat there drinking tea, as if thinking about something.
That's right. In the past few days, Ashina Xian has been thinking about what Li Tao said to him, and to be honest, he has been thinking about this day in his dreams. What Li Tao said is not wrong at all, the men of the Ashina family, which one's heart is not galloping in the Western Regions. Although there has been no official reply to Li Tao. But he had basically made up his mind.
Now that I have decided to go to the Western Regions. Then we have to deal with the aftermath. If it is said that Ashina can't let go of his heart, there are only three people.
The first is his only relative, his sister Ashina Snow Lotus. Ashina Xian has been embarrassing Kang Lu all these years, and that is because of a vendetta. Now that Li Tao said that he handed over his sister to Kang Lu, he was relieved.
The second is the shopkeeper Sun of his own pawnshop. Although the shopkeeper Sun is only a subordinate, he has been running a pawnshop in his house since Ashinaxian's grandfather, even when he was exiled. There is only one sister in the family, and he is also loyal. After returning to Chang'an. There is no income, and all expenses are provided by the operation of the shopkeeper Sun. Despite this, he gave porridge to the victims, and the shopkeeper Sun did not have any complaints. Now, Shopkeeper Sun is getting older, and he is leaving Chang'an, and he wants to leave the pawnshop with Shopkeeper Sun, which can be regarded as an explanation.
This third person is this love jade.
Speaking of love jade, Ashina Xian and her are just ordinary relationships, but Ashina Xian knows very well in his heart that there have been countless nights when he has dreamed of this woman who haunts him, and he has to admit that he is in love with her. Lianyu is a good girl, especially the eyes with a touch of melancholy, which makes Ashina Xian feel unable to extricate herself. It's not that he didn't think about redeeming himself for Lianyu, but Lianyu refused without hesitation. For three years, he only came to see Lianyu in the name of sending jade, but in the past three years, he has not even sent out a piece of jade, but his study is full of jade, and he has a reputation for collecting jade. I'm leaving Chang'an, if there's anything I can't put my mind at ease, it's only Lianyu, and when I think of going to be on one side of the world from now on, Ashina's heart will sting.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Ashina's heart jumped wildly, this was the footsteps he was familiar with.
The footsteps stopped, and a soft voice sounded in my ears: "You're here?" ”
Ashina saw Lianyu, and seemed to be unable to speak, so he hurriedly took out a jade rabbit from his sleeve and offered it.
Lianyu frowned and smiled, took the jade rabbit, and after a while, his face was disappointed: "Lang Jun, the carving skills of this jade rabbit are fine, but this jade is not an old jade, but a new jade." If I'm not mistaken, it's only been around for more than a decade. Over the years, you have spent a lot of effort studying jade for me, how can you not know that jade has been passed down for less than 100 years as new jade, and more than 100 years before it is called old jade? ”
Speaking of this, Lianyu hesitated for a while before resolutely saying to Ashinaxian: "Lang Jun is the only one who can be like a person like Lianyu for several years, I understand your thoughts, but I am not the person you have to wait for, you better find a suitable one to marry and start a family!" ”
After that, Lianyu was about to get up and leave.
"Wait!" Ashina was anxious: "Miss Lianyu, I have something very important to say, but it's inconvenient here, can you let me come to your room to talk." ”
Lianyu's face changed suddenly, and she looked at Ashina Xian: "What do you want to do?" ”
"I really have something to say to you!" Ashina pleaded with a face: "Please, only delay your tea work!" ”
Seeing this, Lianyu couldn't help but soften and said: "Then it's okay, it's just a cup of tea!" ”
Lianyu led Ashina to his room, and after sitting down, he said to Ashina: "If you have anything to say, say it!" ”
Ashina Xian hurriedly took out a jade carving in his arms and put it on the table: "I'm leaving Chang'an, I may not be able to come to see the girl in the future, this is the last ancient jade I gave the girl to appreciate, whether the girl looks at it or not, please accept it, and make it a souvenir." ”
Lianyu glanced at the jade carving and couldn't help but be stunned. This thing is a jade turtle, the size of a horse's hoof. The whole body is crystal clear, soft as clotted fat, and there are several blood streaks in the body, faintly glowing with red light. Lianyu carefully placed it in her hand, and stroked it while looking closely, and there was a slight depression in the middle of the jade turtle's back, which was the size of a dog's claw.
