Chapter 685: The Last Weapon
Night, Concierge.
The full moon is like a disk, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.
In a room with a lamp, Tang An sat cross-legged on the bed, his palms left Mu Rong's white jade-like back, and slowly finished his work.
These days, Tang An thinks that the most fulfilling thing is to pull Mu Rong back from the hands of death. Mu Rong's face in front of him was still pale, but it was much better than when he was in the Jixia School Palace that day.
After healing, Tang An covered her with a quilt, and her movements were extremely gentle. After doing all this, he gave the latter a light kiss on the forehead and smiled: "Have a good rest." β
Mu Rong, who had never been cared for so carefully, felt that she was surrounded by a strong sense of happiness, and this feeling was so beautiful that it made her feel so unreal.
The feeling of going from hell to heaven is probably nothing more than that.
Looking at his gaze like water waves, Mu Rong bowed her head gently, like a well-behaved little girl. However, when she saw him wave his hand and turn to leave, her heart was full of loss.
"Tang An ......"
Tang An turned his head and smiled, "Is there anything else?" β
Of course, Mu Rong wouldn't tell him, just to stop him just to look at him more and feel his tenderness more.
Seeing him staring at himself softly, Mu Rong looked away with some weakness, and casually found a topic: "Come back from the School Palace...... It's been three days, and there is no news from the Qi Imperial Court? β
Hearing this question, Tang An's expression was slightly suffocated.
He knew that Mu Rong meant "borrowing soldiers". A woman who never asks about the world can worry about everything, which only proves that she cares too much about herself.
Because of this, Tang An couldn't tell her that she was in trouble. He had already done all his efforts, and he was also curious as to why there was no movement at all in the imperial court.
Of course, he wouldn't let his woman worry about him, so he pretended to smile calmly: "Yes, there is no news yet." But don't worry, I think we'll be back in Datang soon. β
Mu Rong's eyes lit up and asked, "Really?" β
Compared with the hypocrisy and danger of this country, Datang is more like her home.
"Hmm." Tang An nodded affirmatively and smiled, "If nothing else." β
As soon as she heard this, Mu Rong's good-looking beauty frowned again and asked, "No accident?" What do you mean? β
Women, sure enough, are sensitive animals.
Tang An secretly hated himself for talking too much, leaned up and kissed her on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't be in danger again." I'll take care of the rest, and you just need to rest and heal now, you know? β
Mu Rong's face was suspicious, but he still nodded. She knew that when it came to national affairs, she couldn't help him anymore.
Coming out of the Mu Rong House, Tang An sighed faintly.
He didn't tell Mu Rong that instead of the news coming, the Qi Imperial Court sent people to garrison the surroundings and control them all.
The deaths of Wei Zhongtian and Xie Yuan were somewhat related to Tang An, and when there was no way to determine whether what he said was true, the Qi Imperial Court could only do this.
What really puzzled Tang An was that there was Liu Gong, an excellent lobbyist, to lobby King Qi, but the latter still did not waver, and there was no movement for three days. This simply doesn't make sense.
And in this extraordinary period, Liu Gong did not dare to meet him rashly. As a result, although Tang An and his party were in the center of the storm, they seemed to have been forgotten by the world.
In Tang An's plan, the official doctor Pang Guangda collected the handles of countless courtiers to coerce them into impeaching Xie Yuan and listing the latter's various crimes.
Some of these charges are true and some are false, but mixed with the sheer size of the impeachment squad, Li Yu has no way of telling which ones are true and which ones are falseβhe only feels annoyed.
As long as he orders a thorough investigation, the end of Xie Yuan's party is probably coming. When there is no resistance from the DPRK and China and Liu Gong is strong, as long as he sends a signal of approval of sending troops, I am afraid that many people who want to climb will take the initiative to attack and have a positive attitude towards sending troops to aid Tang. This voice will eventually converge into a torrent, so that Li Yu can't find a reason to refuse.
The calculation was very good, but Tang An neglected King Qi's indecisive, timid and fearful nature.
Many people are often like this, shouting slogans louder than anyone else, dreaming higher than anyone else, but when they really put it into action, they are afraid of this and that, and never dare to take the first step. Such a person can only be a brilliant dreamer forever.
Unfortunately, Li Yu is undoubtedly the best among them.
It's a pity that Tang An's organs calculated, but forgot to calculate people's hearts. He could never have imagined that in the face of such an important state event, Li Yuhui would not even have the courage to face it directly.
Sighing at the crooked moon, Tang An muttered, "What is missing?" β
******************************************
Two more days passed, and there was still no news.
Thinking of the situation on the border of the Tang Dynasty, Tang An couldn't sit still. He wanted to go to the imperial court several times to inquire about the situation, but was politely blocked by the defenders outside in the protocol courtyard.
They were placed under house arrest.
Of course, this kind of house arrest can only restrict ordinary people, and Tang An, who has inherited all of Wei Zhongtian's skills, obviously no longer belongs to the category of "normal people".
At nightfall, he sneaked into the Mansion of the Marquis of Wenliang unknowingly and swaggered to Liu Gong's bedroom. And Liu Gong, who was about to go to bed, saw Tang An, as if he had seen a ghost alive.
Poor Wen Lianghou told everything that had happened in the past few days, and did not hide his disdain, scolding his little lover Li Yu with the most vicious words.
When it comes to his own life and death, he will not consider the cheap relationship between the two. In other words, he just clings to a man he dislikes for the sake of power, but he has no feelings for Li Yu at all.
Of course, Tang An didn't care about this, he just needed to know King Qi's attitude.
And when he learned that Li Yu had used the word "drag", his face turned completely cold.
It turns out that the faint monarch misguided the country, not only his own country.
Tang An, who was furious, wanted to enter the palace and use force to force Li Yu to admit it. However, manpower is sometimes exhausted, and no matter how strong the martial arts are, it is difficult to make a difference among thousands of troops, although he is unwilling, Tang An still has to give up this tempting idea.
Luckily, he still has one last plan. But the plan was too risky for him to make up his mind.
Now, it's time to make a decision!
********************************************
The next day, the sky had just turned white, and I don't know which rooster was so puzzled that he opened his loud voice and showed his singing voice to the fullest.
Outside the protocol house, because it was still early, the soldiers in charge of the vigil were still napping themselves. But after a few moments, seven or eight soldiers were awakened by the sound of the rolling of the wagon.
At first, a young soldier rubbed his eyes, his face full of depression, as if he had been disturbed by his sweet dreams and was extremely unhappy. But when he raised his head to see the scene in front of him, he was so frightened that he shivered all over, and he no longer felt sleepy.
He saw that the soldiers of the "Avengers" had all packed their bags and were still holding weapons in their hands, and they were about to rush out with murderous spirit!
Their expressions were grim, and their bodies exuded the aura of being unapproachable, as if they had stepped on a battlefield of life and death.
At the front of the team, Tang An, who was dressed in a strong suit, was riding on a horse, his face gloomy like an ice cube. It is not difficult to see from the surrounding Qi State guards that this Tang envoy is not in a very good mood at this time.
"How many...... What is this going to do early in the morning? β
The captain of the guard asked with a smile on his face.
Tang An glanced at him coldly and said, "Get out of the way!" β
The man was a little embarrassed: "Your Excellency, the duty of the envoy is lowly, and there is no order from above......"
"Choke!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw everyone draw their swords!
Tang An didn't mean to joke at all, and said loudly: "The Avengers listen to orders!" If anyone dares to stop us, they will be killed! β
"Whoa!"
The sound of neat shouts resounded in the sky, disturbing the sweet dreams of countless people.
Seeing such a formation, no one suspected that they were joking. The Great Qi guards were like rabbits being targeted by a group of tigers, and they didn't even dare to make a sound, they could only watch as this group of murderous gods passed by them.
It wasn't until Tang An and the others were far away that the captain of the guard swallowed his saliva. Seeing that everyone was looking at him in a panic, he hurriedly said: "Look at it, look at what to see!" Why the hell are you stupid? Hurry up and report to the boss! β
*******************************************
Zhang Tongzhou is the defender of Linzi City.
At the age of thirty-seven, he can climb to this position, in addition to people in the court, more rely on his talent. He thought that when his father was old, he would be able to climb to a higher position and become the pride of the family.
But now, he endured the cold wind and got up from the bed of his favorite concubine, urging the horse to rush towards the west gate. Because I was in such a hurry, I didn't even get dressed neatly.
He had the greatest crisis of his life!
Those soil buns from Datang don't know what they are crazy about, and they want to break out of Linzi City without permission! Hearing that they also showed their weapons, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty even made a bold statement - whoever dares to stop it will be killed!
Zhang Tongzhou scolded Tang Anzu for the eighteenth generation in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly led the people and horses to the city gate.
If they let a few dozen people slip out of the city under their noses, it will undoubtedly prove that the defense line of Linzi City is useless. The court will lose a big face, and his career will be over.
With great ambitions, he will never allow this to happen!
He drove his horse forward as fast as he could, and when he reached the West City Gate, he found that the streets were already overcrowded.
It's no wonder, not to mention that Tang An and his party are now in the limelight, and they have become the talk of all Qi people after dinner, just the appearance of them holding swords and killing their faces, plus a group of Qi guards who are waiting around the front and back, left and right, is enough to arouse the curiosity of passers-by.
From the suspicious expressions on the faces of each passerby, it is not difficult to see their thoughts: this group of people from Datang...... What basket did you poke again?
