Li Huichun hurriedly said hello to the merchants of Shiguo and drove out of the city gate, speeding towards Beiting City, Salda didn't ask them much, he turned around and waved his hand, "Everyone can move independently." ”

The huge Shiguo caravan was disbanded, and the merchants left one after another, going to find their own inn shops, at this time, Yuan En said to the masked woman: "Julan, are you going with me, or are you going to find him?" ”

This woman is the princess of Julan back then, after Qiuzi and Li Qing'an parted, two years have passed in a flash, Princess Julan has also grown from a little Hu Niang who has just opened her love into a slim and beautiful woman, she has been living in Julan City for the past two years, last year she and her second brother Yuanen came to Anxi once, looking for Li Qing'an, but learned that Li Qing'an was fighting in Qinghai, so she had to go back, this time she came to Beiting with her brother, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy, time has passed for so long, does he still remember himself? “

Julan sighed lowly, "Let's stop first!" There will be a chance to go to him again. ”

Yuan En was also worried, he had been longing for that bright eye for two years, seeing that his father's body was weakening, and his desire for the throne made him travel a long distance again to find Li Qing'an in Beiting, I heard that Li Qing'an had been promoted to the envoy of the festival, would he still fulfill his promise to himself in Yangzhou?

He looked at the bustling street market and said to Salda, "Uncle, let's stay first." ”

"Okay, you come with me!" Salda urged the camel and walked towards the largest inn in Jinman County.

．．．．．．．．

Beiting City, Li Qing'an just got the information of a broken leaf, the black and yellow Tuqi Shi people broke out a medium-scale conflict in General Peiluo City, more than 400 people were killed and wounded, this is already the fifth time this year, the Tuqi Shi people have been infighting, and the intensity of the internal strife is increasing more and more.

Li Qing'an gently pinched his temples, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, the sun was blazing outside the window, the heat wave was rolling, and the whole land seemed to be on fire.

But the opportunity has not yet come, and another piece of information he got is that Gao Xianzhi is actively preparing for war, preparing to attack the Tocharian Shushi Kingdom that has colluded with Tubo, in history, Gao Xianzhi turned to attack Broken Leaf after capturing the Shushi State, and attacked Shi Guo because Shi Guo wanted to get involved in Broken Leaves, which triggered a counterattack by the Great Cannibal, and finally broke out the Battle of Talas.

How will history change because of his arrival in Li Qing'an? Broken Leaf is his first battle, whether he can occupy Broken Leaf, and then gradually drive the Great Food out of the river, completely changing the history of Central Asia, his heart is full of expectations, and now, he is waiting for the signal to send troops, this signal is Gao Xianzhi's southern expedition to the Shushi country.

"Report to the governor, Broken Leaf came to ask to see him, and he said that his name was Li Huichun."

Li Qing'an turned around suddenly, did he come so soon? It's only been five days.

"Let him in!"

After a while, Li Huichun, who was in a nervous mood, walked into the room under the guidance of the soldiers, and as soon as he entered the room, Li Qingan greeted him with a smile, "Li Dongzhu came in such a hurry, didn't he want me to compensate for the loss?" ”

Li Qing'an's kind smile made Li Huichun's heart let go slightly, and he hurriedly bowed to the ground, "See Li Yuanjun." ”

"You're welcome, Proprietor Li, please take a seat!"

Li Huichun sat down, a soldier served two bowls of herbal tea, Li Qingan smiled and said: "The weather is hot, I won't serve hot tea, drink a bowl to relieve the heat!" ”

"Thank you!"

Li Huichun took a sip of herbal tea, but he was thinking about how to speak, pondered for a moment, and said apologetically: "Envoy, the Han and Tang Dynasty will be rude in the North Court, and I apologize to the envoy here." ”

"Rude!"

Li Qingan sneered and said: "Your every move of the Han and Tang Society in the North Garden, I mastered it three months ago, I have always tolerated you, but you don't know how to restrain yourself, and you actually put your hand into my army, which is unbearable, this time I just warn you, most of the members of the Han and Tang Society have been released, and the store has basically returned to normal, I will warn you one last time, if you dare to infiltrate my army again, I will destroy the Han and Tang Society!" ”

Li Huichun took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said, "I promise that the Han and Tang Societies will not be developed in Beiting." ”

"Alright! For the sake of my old friendship with you, I'll let you go once this time, come on! ”

A personal soldier walked in in response, and Li Qingan ordered: "Pass my order, release all the people who were arrested, and revoke the seals of all shops." ”

The soldiers ran away immediately, Li Qingan took a few sips of herbal tea, and when he saw that Li Huichun wanted to speak and stopped, he smiled and said: "If there is anything else about Li Dongzhu, just say it!" ”

"Did our young master also release it together?"

"What young master?" Li Qingqi asked confusedly.

Li Huichun couldn't hold his breath anymore, he took out the pigeon letter sent by Li Qing'an, pushed it in front of him, and said, "I'm talking about Li Jue, this is a handwritten letter from the envoy." ”

Li Qingan took the letter and looked at it, and said with a smile: "I didn't write this letter, I am a dignified envoy of moderation, how can there be a handle in your hands?" You mean! ”

Li Huichun's heart was about to sink into the abyss, but he was saved by Li Qingan, "But this Li Jue is indeed in my hands, he told me some of the past from a hundred years ago, and I am very interested." ”

The room was silent, and inadvertently, Li Qingan revealed the mystery, and the atmosphere became very embarrassing, and after a long time, Li Huichun sighed and said: "Since the envoy already knows, I don't want to hide it anymore, please make an offer!" Let Li Jue go, we can agree to anything. ”

"Can you really promise anything?" Li Qingan asked with a provocative eye.

"Yes! Anything can be promised. Li Huichun affirmed.

Li Qing'an leaned on the circle chair and drank herbal tea slowly, and after a while, he smiled and said: "I admire the loyalty of the eighteen generals for generations, but it's a pity that Li Jue can't bear your hopes, and it is your sorrow to promise me all the conditions for such a useless person." ”

Li Huichun's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, he smiled bitterly and said: "Prince Yin's heirs are thin, they have been passed down in the same vein for a hundred years, and it is easy to have two sons in this generation, but the eldest son disappeared when he was three years old, and only Jue'er was left, in order to make Prince Yin's descendants prosperous, we tried everything we can, Jue'er let him contact women since he was ten years old, but unfortunately it backfired, he didn't know how many women, but he didn't even give birth to an heir, Li Yuanjun, Prince Yin is the only one descendant left, Regardless of whether he can fulfill Prince Yin's will, as long as he passes on the incense, we will be satisfied. ”

Saying that, Li Huichun 'plopped!' He knelt down and wept and said: "If you ask for money, we will do everything possible to give it, and we can even dissolve the Han and Tang Associations, and only beg you to spare Jue'er and leave a pulse of incense for Prince Jiancheng." ”

Li Qing'an helped him up, and sighed softly: "The eighteen families of the prince will be built for several generations, and they will protect the old master for generations, which is respectable and lamentable, I, Li Qing'an, am also a person with a blood surname, and I will not do that kind of thing that people and gods are angry about, since I called you here, I intend to fulfill you, Gongzi Jue, I will let go, but I do have two small requirements." ”

Li Huichun didn't expect Li Qingan to agree, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "If you have a request, just mention it, as long as we can do it." ”

"I won't hide it from you, the court is ready to take back the broken leaves, considering the resistance of the Tuqi Shi people, I hope to get your broken leaf Han people to respond."

Li Huichun's eyes lit up, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "The Tang Dynasty takes back the broken leaves and it is the dream of our broken leaf Han people for several generations, and we are willing to go to the soup for the king." ”

Li Qing'an nodded, and said: "This is the first request, I know you will agree, and the second is that I hope that the Han and Tang Dynasties will be able to collect the customs and garrisons of the Great Food and the Hezhong region for me, I also need a complete map, the more detailed the better, it is best to get the information of the Byzantine Empire, your Hidden Dragon Society has been operating in the Western Regions for a hundred years, you should be able to do it." ”

This second request made Li Huichun a little embarrassed, which meant that their Hidden Dragon Society would turn their energy from east to west, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "We can indeed do it, I said, we will agree to all of Li Yuanjun's requests, so we will do our best to do it." ”

"You go and arrange it, give me a detailed plan in ten days, and I will return Gongzi to you unscathed."

．．．．．．．．．．

After meeting Li Huichun, it was almost dusk, Li Qingan reviewed a few documents, and then left Xingyuan to return home, he was busy for more than three months, all kinds of affairs in Beiting were gradually on the right track, he recruited two thousand miners from the Shatuo people, mined copper and silver ore in the Yizhou copper mine, and smelted it into rough billet on the spot and sent it to Beiting City, Xizhou's weaving workshop, brewing workshop, Beiting's wool weaving workshop and porcelain workshop were also established one after another, and the ordnance office was also built, Beiting has been able to cast horizontal knives and Mo knives, Now almost all the prototypes have appeared, the seed has sprouted, and now it is waiting for it to thrive.

It was almost dusk, the sun had lost its heat, the fire was steaming rapidly from the ground, and the evening breeze had already taken on a hint of coolness.

Li Qingan rode on a horse and walked slowly, he was still thinking about the Hidden Dragon Society, although the Hidden Dragon Society has struggled for several generations, their goal is no longer possible, Li Shimin's descendants have already become the authentic Tang family, how can the throne return to Li Jiancheng's lineage, just rely on the Han and Tang Societies, a gang-like organization?

Li Qing'an couldn't help but laugh at the naivety of the Hidden Dragon Society, they were a little crazy, but Yan Zhuang was right, the Hidden Dragon Society had been operating in the Western Regions for a hundred years, and it could indeed help them achieve their ambition of conquering the river, which was their best role.

"General, someone is blocking the road and asking to see you."

In the distance, he heard someone shouting loudly in Turkic: "Li Yuanjun, I am Hassan, the prince of Shi Wang, who has come all the way from Shi Country, and begged to see Li Yuanjun. ”

'Hassan, Prince of the Stone Prince? Li Qingan was stunned for a moment, isn't Prince Shi Yuan'en? How did another Hassan pop up.

Li Qingan looked ahead and saw more than 30 people on the side of the road, all on horseback.

"Bring him up!"

In a moment, the soldiers brought in a burly young man, about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and a square face, and he looked completely different from the tall and lanky Prince Yuanen.

He stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Li Yuanjun, please forgive me for not speaking Chinese, but my heart is sincere." ”

Li Qingan looked at the gold medal that proved his identity, and asked with a smile: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Prince Hassan took out a document from his bosom and handed it over humbly: "This is the document of Blackwater City south of Talas, that city is my fiefdom, there are 1,200 inhabitants, together with the surrounding grassland, a total of 5,000 hectares of land, I am willing to dedicate it to Li Yuanjun to raise horses, and I also have a small gift, please Li Yuanjun smile." ”

He turned around and waved his hand, and two stout wrestlers carried up a large box, which Prince Hassan opened, and everyone saw a bejeweled chest, full of gold and jewels glittering in the setting sun.

Li Qingan squinted his eyes and smiled, this Prince Hassan has never known him in his life, and when he first met, he gave land and treasure, needless to say, he also knew what this person wanted?

"No merit is not punished, there is no merit and no virtue to Shi Guo, how can I accept the generous gifts of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"I know that the Eye of Light is in the hands of Li Yuanjun, and I am willing to exchange the city and treasure for it, and ask Li Yuanjun to fulfill it."

After speaking, he gave Li Qingan a deep salute and waited for a reply with expectant eyes.

"It's just a ruby, and it's not worth the prince's attention."

Prince Hassan said urgently: "It may be an ordinary gem for Li Yuanjun, but it is extraordinary for our Shi Kingdom, and I only beg Li Yuanjun to give it to me." ”

In the past few years, the Great Diet Civil War, no time to take care of the Sogdians, the Persian religion has re-emerged in the river region, and the Persian Zoroastrianism has sealed the gem of one of the three incarnations of the god of light, Ahuramadaz, as a sacred stone, it is very precious, Kangguo, Anguo, Shi Guo and other Sogdian countries jointly asked Shiguo for this gem, and Shiguo once again ordered to give it to his sons, and whoever gets this gem, he immediately abdicates.

Hassan is the eldest prince of Shiguo, he learned the whereabouts of the Bright Eye from Na Suning, so he led his men to Beiting non-stop, but he didn't expect that his second brother, Prince Yuanen, arrived in Jinman County exactly two hours earlier than him.

"General Lee!"

There was a sudden shouting in the distance, and I saw more than a dozen knights galloping over, the yellow dust rolling, and rushed to Li Qing'an like a gallop, the second prince Yuan'en.

His subordinates found the traces of the eldest prince, and Yuan En was anxious, lest the eldest brother take the lead, so he rushed desperately, and happened to meet the eldest prince to stop Li Qing'an.

"General Li, you can't give him the gem!"

He jumped off his horse and ran to Li Qing'an and bowed, "General Li, you promised me in Yangzhou." ”

When Prince Hassan saw his second brother suddenly appear, he couldn't help but snort heavily, and said, "Didn't my father tell you to break leaves?" How did you end up here? ”

"Aren't you the same? You said you were going to Kangguo, why did you come to Beiting? ”

"What I do has nothing to do with you!"

"I'm the same, you don't care what I do."

The two brothers glared angrily like two fighting cocks, their mother was not the same person, they had been competing for favor for more than ten years, and it also affected their son, their brotherly love was very indifferent, and in order to get the throne, the two turned their faces.

"Don't fight!"

Li Qingan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's really embarrassing for me to hurt my brother's harmony for a gemstone, so be it!" I'll think about it for a few days and then I'll give you an answer. ”

At this moment, he suddenly felt something, and could not help but look up into the distance, and saw a young masked woman riding on a horse, she was wearing a hat with a hat and five braids peculiar to Sogdian women, which was a sign that a Sogdian woman was unmarried, her posture was beautiful, her skin was crystal white, and through the thin veil, a pair of blue eyes shone brightly like jewels.

She looked at Li Qing'an silently, her eyes were full of parting sorrow, a chance encounter, an unusual experience, a Han officer with a hearty laugh took root in the girl's heart.

'Just because I feel that you look back, it makes me think about the dynasty and the twilight. ’
