Chapter 671: Murder
"Sister, this is Chang'an!"
Outside Chang'an City, Ashina looked at the tall city wall in front of him, his face showed a look of horror, he went from the Western Regions to Chang'an, and he had seen countless cities along the way, tall city walls, and gorgeous clothes made him extremely surprised, but compared with Chang'an City in front of him, it was a world of difference, Ashina felt as if he had arrived in heaven.
"This is Chang'an City of the Heavenly Empire." Ash Nayun also showed admiration, when she was in Jinshan, she had heard the merchants along the way mention Chang'an City, those merchants described Chang'an City as majestic and solemn, she was very yearning in her heart, but when she really arrived at Chang'an City, she found that those merchants did not depict Chang'an City at all.
"How nice it would be to live in such a city!" Ash Nayun couldn't help but say softly.
"Sister, one day, I will definitely build you the same city." Ashina couldn't help but say.
"Shut up. Is such a thing a casual thing to say? After hearing this, Ashinayun's face changed, he glanced around, and saw that he was surrounded by his own guards, and he immediately felt a lot more relieved, but he still couldn't help but say: "This is Chang'an City, do you want to die?" ”
"Sister, I'm just talking." Ashina said in a low voice, his eyes stretched out to reveal a trace of dissatisfaction, he looked at the city in front of him with fiery eyes, but he didn't care in his heart, he heard that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not much older than himself, but he had created such a foundation, he believed that he would become such a person one day.
"But Ashina Li, the son of the Western Turkic Yehu Khan?" At this time, a group of officials appeared at the city gate, led by a young man, who smiled and said, "Xiaguan Honglu Temple Qing Cui Xiu has seen the special service, and I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"Ashina Yun has seen Master Cui." Ash Nayun saw that the other party was Honglu Siqing, and immediately knew Li Xin's thoughts, Li Xin just regarded himself as a messenger, and did not treat Ashina as a khan. Although I was dissatisfied, I didn't show it.
"The Great Turkic Special Service Ashina Li." Ashina glanced at Cui Xiu, but nodded arrogantly.
"The secret service and Her Royal Highness the princess have worked hard from afar, please follow the subordinate to the post house to rest." Cui Xiu didn't seem to see Ashina's rude behavior, and still said to the two with a smile.
"Dare to ask Don"
"Dare to ask when His Majesty the Emperor will receive me?" Ashina was about to speak, but was stopped by his sister, only to hear Ashina Yun ask with a smile.
"The emperor is not in Chang'an City at the moment, he has already gone to the army, and when the lower officials came, His Majesty the Emperor had ordered. Her Royal Highness the princess and the special service can play in Chang'an City first, and when Her Majesty returns from the army, they will naturally summon the two. Cui Xiu's face was still full of smiles, and he said with a smile.
"Me"
"In that case, I'll bother Master Cui." Ashina Yun stopped Ashina again and arched his hand towards Cui Xiu.
"Your Royal Highness the princess is gracious." Cui Xiu didn't look at Ashina's strength, but just arched his hand at Ashinayun: "The post house is relatively small, and it is in the city, I'm afraid Her Royal Highness the princess can only bring twenty guards and soldiers inside." As for the other Turkic warriors, I am afraid that they still need to camp outside the city, which is the rule of the imperial court, and ask Her Royal Highness the princess for forgiveness. ”
"What. The Tang Emperor is not there? Ashina Lili finally couldn't help but speak, and as soon as he spoke, Ashina Yun's face was pale, don't say that Ashina Lili is not the Khan of the Turks, even if it is. In the face of the emperor who may be the Central Plains, the person who will rule the world in the future should not speak in this tone.
"Ashina Li. Hugh was rude. Ash Nayun's face was gloomy, his pink face suddenly changed color, he glared at the other party, and said, "Your Majesty the Great Emperor is busy with state affairs, how can you neglect state affairs because of you and me?" ”
Cui Xiu saw it in his eyes, and his heart was clear for a while, and he said at the moment: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please rest assured, the emperor is very concerned with the affairs of the Western Regions, when Your Majesty was in the Western Regions, he was once friends with General Ashina Buzhen, not to mention that Her Royal Highness the Princess came from afar, Your Majesty is very welcome, if it is because of busy state affairs, I am afraid that she will personally greet the princess." "This sedan chair is carried by everyone, Cui Xiu is a Honglu Temple, and he is also very experienced in this matter, and he did not look at Ashina's dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he was very surprised by Ashinayun.
"Master Cui, I didn't expect Chang'an City to be so big and so prosperous, I heard about the prosperity of the Central Plains when I was on the grassland, and it is really good to see it today." A controversy disappeared before it happened, and Ashina Yun and Ashina Li, under the leadership of Cui Xiu, entered Chang'an City. The prosperity and liveliness of Chang'an City made the two dizzy, and Ashina Yun couldn't help but say.
"Haha, Her Royal Highness the princess has won the prize." Cui Xiu said proudly: "However, in the Central Plains, the most prosperous place is Chang'an, Your Majesty values business, encourages the people of the world to do business, look at this Chang'an City, now the silk and tea in the south of the Yangtze River, the Shu brocade and paper in Bashu, as well as the wine and treasures of the Western Regions, and even the good horses in Mobei, etc., in Chang'an, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy." ”
"It's true." Ash Nayun nodded, but he was surprised in his heart, the wealth of Chang'an City on the other side also shows the strength of the Tang Dynasty, in the countries of the Western Regions, as long as the people see the Turkic soldiers, they have to hide, but in Chang'an City, there is no, these people seem to see ordinary people, and they do not regard the Turkic soldiers as strong enemies at all.
"It's a pity that such a rich city falls into the hands of the Han people, if one day, I can regain the Turkic power, I will definitely lead my troops eastward and seize such a rich city, such a place is the richest place under the sky, and the descendants of the eagle and the blue wolf should live in such a place, enjoying wine and beauty." Ashina snorted coldly and looked around, but other thoughts flashed in his heart.
The pavilion is very close to Honglu Temple, and the place is not as narrow as Cui Xiu said, but the place is very large, and the decoration is not bad, at least it can reflect the style of the Heavenly Empire.
"Sister, I don't think the Tang Emperor wants to see us at all. It's really hateful to send a Honglu Siqing to deal with us today. Ashina couldn't help but say dissatisfied.
"There is no way for him to see us, he is His Majesty the Great Emperor." Compared with Ashina Li, Ashina Yun is much more mature, this delicate girl, when she left Jinshan, suddenly became mature, her family and country are gone, what she wants to do now is to see Li Xin, and then ask Li Xin to send troops to help Ashina Lili recapture the grassland.
It's just that now it seems that all this is difficult to achieve, because I don't even know where Li Xin is, and I don't know how to convince Li Xin what he has? Ash Nayun thought about it carefully, he really didn't have anything to impress Li Xin, Li Xingui was the Son of Heaven, and he was rich in the world, not to mention for the time being, what kind of things he wanted.
"Xiaoli, wait a minute, let's go to the street, let's go and inquire what His Majesty the Emperor likes?" Ashina Yun decided to go to the market to inquire about what Li Xin liked, and he could prescribe the right medicine.
"Okay." Ashina Lili didn't want to go, but thinking about the prosperity of Chang'an City, he still couldn't bear a little yearning in his heart, and decided to go and see it tomorrow.
In the imperial study, Cui Xiu stood respectfully in front of Li Xin, reported what he had seen and heard today, and finally said: "Your Majesty, although something happened to the Western Turks, the minister can see that Her Royal Highness Princess Ashinayun has some knowledge, but Ashina is only so powerful, fierce and irritable, if this person becomes the Khan of the Western Turks, the foundation of the Khan of Tongye Hu will definitely be wiped out by him." ”
"Lao Tzu's heroic son bear, how could Tongye Hu Khan choose him as his heir." Li Xin shook his head and looked at some information next to him, this is the information about the Western Turks that Jinyiwei found, including Ashina Niyi, Ashina Yun and Ashina Li, and even some news about Ashina Buzhen.
However, because he was far away in the Western Regions, Jin Yiwei didn't get much information from the Western Regions, and Li Xin could only see a rough idea. Hearing Cui Xiu say this now, I have some intuitive impressions.
"Your Majesty, these two people?" Cui Xiu said with some hesitation.
"Wait a minute. See them now, isn't it cheaper for them? The army will have to prepare, and when the army is ready, then see them. Li Xin said indifferently.
After he saw Ashina's strength, he thought about directly getting rid of the Western Turks and attacking the entire Western Regions, and he believed that Jieli Khan would never risk offending himself at this time and make a move against the Western Regions. It's just such a thing, he has to think about it seriously in order to be foolproof. In politics, he is still inferior to Pei Shiju and others.
"Yes, the minister knows." After Cui Xiu heard this, he naturally didn't dare to urge.
"These days, good wine and good food are waiting, and I will naturally meet them when I have time." Li Xin said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, something happened, the Turkic mission killed people in the streets, and General Duan has been put in prison." At this time, Ji Gang said loudly outside.
"Murder? Who killed the people? Ashina Yun or Ashina Li? Li Xin's face was gloomy, what he hated most was this privileged class, especially the Turks, who still wanted to kill people in Chang'an, which was unforgivable.
"It was Ashina who got into an argument with a vendor, and one of his soldiers stabbed the merchant to death in a fit of rage." Ji Gang hurriedly said: "General Duan has already escorted all the Turks to the General Military Mansion. ”
"Damn." Li Xin's face was gloomy, his eyes were like electricity, and he snorted coldly. (To be continued......)
