Li Dan was only dumbfounded when he heard it, and he felt speechless for a while about Qinling's words.

He suddenly remembered that when Tubo asked Tang for marriage in the third year of Xianqing, Tubo King Mangsong Mangzan was only eight years old, and when Tubo asked for peace with the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Yifeng, Tubo King Chidusong was only four years old.

In fact, in the history of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has also asked Tang for marriage many times, including the third year of Shenlong, Tubo asked Tang for peace, when Tubo King Dezuzan was only three years old, three years later and successful, the six-year-old groom married the twelve-year-old princess Jincheng.

Li Dan is not unaware of the fact that Tubo has asked Tang for marriage several times before, the problem is that when Tubo asked Tang for marriage a few times, the king of Tubo himself was also a child, and the little princess married in the past, and it was a big deal that the husband and wife grew up together, but now that the king of Tubo is over thirty years old, how can a man over thirty years old marry a twelve-year-old little princess, so Li Dan completely ignored this point.

It wasn't until he said that the little princess of seven or eight years old was also a young princess who didn't care about Misa that Li Dan suddenly understood: marriages based on politics can't be speculated with common sense at all, not to mention that he still has a twelve-year-old daughter, even if his daughter is only three years old, only if it is in line with political interests, he can still become the princess of Tubo, even if the king of Tubo is eighty years old.

On Misa stared at Li Dan with blazing eyes, his expression was completely devoid of the original disguised awe and ignorance, he believed that Li Dan was willing to marry his daughter to Tubo, Tubo had done some investigation on the current situation of the Great Zhou, they thought that harmony was conducive to consolidating Li Dan's position, he must be willing to do it, and now the resignation should only be worried about causing the jealousy of the crown prince and the Wu clan.

Li Dan hesitated for a moment and reluctantly said, "A twelve-year-old girl, nothing more." How can you become a qualified princess, a qualified wife, and there is another daughter in my royal family......"

On Misa interrupted him and said, "Your Royal Highness, as far as the ministers know, all the daughters of the crown prince have been married, so the only one suitable to marry my king is your daughter. Hehe, the way of marriage in your country pays attention to the right family, why is this not the case in Tibet? As your daughter, even if she is young, I believe she is knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. As for being young, that's okay. After my king marries the princess, he can wait for her to be older and then have a round house. ”

Li Dan was a little overwhelmed, he couldn't say that his daughters, who were only eleven or twelve years old, were also married, and even if he had time to change his words now, what about his six or seven-year-old daughters? Could it be that they have already decided to marry? But he didn't even want to marry his adult daughter to Tibet. How can you marry an innocent twelve-year-old girl to Tubo to suffer.

Li Dan had no choice but to prevaricate: "This ......, my daughter is young. In the eyes of this king. It is really not advisable to marry too early. In this way, this matter, after the king and the mother emperor have discussed it again, today is just for the banquet of the noble envoy, let's ignore this matter, come and come. Wine, wine, please. ”

For Tubo's marriage proposal, Li Dan could only make a procrastination trick, but he didn't know how long he could delay. The Misa must go to the palace every other day to ask for a meeting with the Son of Heaven and urge the Son of Heaven to agree to make peace. From time to time, he also visited the crown prince, King Xiang and King Liang, both soft and hard.

Wu Zetian also tried to marry the princess of Tubo with the sin daughter of the clan, but was categorically rejected by the Misa, the reason for the Misa is that Tubo Zampu is the lord of a country after all, and cannot be matched with the sin daughter of the Great Zhou, and only the queen's own bloodline is worthy of the lord of Tubo.

The heirs who continued the bloodline of Empress Wu Zetian are now only Li Xian and Li Dan. Li Xian's six daughters in this room are all married, so only Li Dan's daughter can be married.

But even if the crown prince Li Xian still has a daughter to marry, Wu Zetian does not want to increase the variables of the balance of the Great Zhou Empire in the future through marriage with Tubo, let alone Li Dan's daughter, once the prime minister Li Dan and Tubo marry, the future political situation will be even more confusing, how can she agree.

However, if she does not agree, she is worried that Tubo will wave the army again to fight, now Tubo is a powerful neighbor, although the Tubo military god said that after the death of Qinling, the Great Zhou gradually gained the upper hand in force, but it has not yet reached the one-sided strong suppression, killing a thousand enemies and self-loss of eight hundred, just moved the capital to Chang'an, the border military has not yet been consolidated Wu Zetian did not dare to start the war lightly.

Wu Zetian was not without this self-confidence, but since the little Khitan rebellion, he successively lost Wang Xiaojie and other generals, and after arson Hebei and gave Da Zhou a blow, Wu Zetian suddenly woke up to the fact that although Da Zhou still looks like a behemoth, it is no longer as powerful as Taizong and Gaozong.

The imperial court delayed for more than half a month, and the attitude towards Misa gradually became tougher, and he went to the palace every day to entangle endlessly, and even Wu Zetian was a little overwhelmed, just at this time, the Turkic Khan suddenly sent troops to harass the entire territory of Wuzhou, and the enemy traces appeared in Yanzhou, Xiazhou, Bingzhou, Daizhou, and Xinzhou one after another, and they sometimes went deep, constantly plundering people and animals.

After Wu Zetian received the report, she didn't dare to send the nephews of the Wu family to do bad things, she first appointed Shi Xue Jichang, the governor of Yongzhou, as the ambassador of Shandong defense, and controlled the soldiers and horses of Cang, Ying, You, Yi, Heng, and Ding Prefectures in Hebei; He also used the Youzhou Assassin Shi Zhang Ren to specialize in the defense of Youzhou, Ping, Fei, and Tan, echoing Xue Jichang from afar, and rejecting the Turks.

Immediately, Wu Zetian took the prime minister Li Dan as the protector of the capital of Anbei and the generalissimo of the Heavenly Soldiers, commanding the soldiers and horses of Yan, Zhao, Qin, Long, and Zhubu to crusade against the Turks, but she still repeated the old tricks, making Li Dan the commander but not letting him lead the army, just letting Li Dan hang a name, in fact, with the prime minister Wei Yuanzhong as the marshal, to meet the Turkic army.

At this time, Wu Zetian had a good reason to prevaricate about Misa, and the Great Zhou was fighting with foreign enemies, so it was naturally not appropriate to discuss peace matters at this moment. After learning that a full-scale war broke out between Wu Zhou and the Turks, Misa no longer went to the palace to urge, but just lived in the Sifang Pavilion with peace of mind. Look at that, he can stop urging for the time being, but the discussion of harmony will not be just settled, and if he does not get along with relatives on Sunday, he will never leave.

The clouds are thick, the cold wind is howling, and the snowflakes are swept by the wind, making it difficult for pedestrians to open their eyes. This winter's snow is diligent, and the earth seems to be covered with a thick quilt, and the hearts of the farmers are happy. This is destined to be a good year for the next year.

But the shepherds inevitably began to pray for a rest from heaven, and they could not do without snow, but if the snow was too big, it would easily turn into a white plague and freeze all their cattle and sheep to death, and that would be their nightmare.

Now it is the middle of winter, the end of the year is approaching, the mountains and villages are empty, and people and animals are beginning to winter. Heavy snow jams. Pedestrians are extinct, and there should be no one in the ice and snow outside Longshang, but in such weather, in the endless snow fields on the outskirts of Maozhou (now Maowen Qiang Autonomous County, Sichuan), there are several figures walking with difficulty.

Snow-capped. It's knee-deep, plus it's extremely bad weather. There should be no human presence in the wilderness. But those figures were clearly humans, and they led their mounts and braved the snow to hurry. Because the snow was too deep for the horses to run, the four of them had to lead the horses on foot.

The horses were wrapped in leggings and bellies to protect them from the cold, and felt blankets were draped over their backs. The four men who were leading the horses wore thick sheepskin jackets, trousers sewn from wolf skins, trouser legs tucked into high felt boots of astringent cowhide, and leggings of animal skins were tied to protect them from snow.

All four wore dogskin hoods on their heads. He covered his mouth and nose with a towel, revealing only a pair of eyes, and the hot breath came out of the edge of the towel, and a thick layer of hoarfrost was covered on the mouth and under the corners of the eyes, which seemed to be really hard.

The four of them walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, and they didn't expect that while they were walking, six figures suddenly appeared in the surrounding snow. The six of them were all white, the same color as the snow, and no one would have noticed them if they hadn't suddenly flashed in the snowstorm and showed their bright knives.

The snow was knee-deep, and it was difficult to walk, but the six people's bodies were unusually flexible, and as soon as they appeared, they were like hungry horses, fiercely pounced on the four walkers.

"Kill!"

With a cold shout, the six people turned into six violent winds, wrapped in the wind and snow, and fiercely pounced on the four walkers. The four walkers had already walked a long way in the snow, and were now exhausted, and they had covered themselves so tightly that their sight and ears were affected, and by the time they saw the danger, they had slowed down.

Moreover, the six attackers attacked suddenly, and their movements were extremely vigorous. Between the staggered figures, the blood light has been splashed everywhere, and in the scream, a walker broke through the encirclement, turned around and ran wildly, and when he ran for his life, this person suddenly had divine power, and ran like flying in the knee-deep snow, but the other three partners were staggered by the six people at the moment of his breakthrough, and were cut into flesh.

The fleeing walker swept a distance of seven or eight feet, leaving a stain of blood where he passed, like plum blossoms, the six people were not busy chasing, one of them just sneered, picked up a single knife on the ground, and kicked the handle of the knife with his toes, and the single knife suddenly roared out like a windmill, and spun between the right legs of the fleeing man.

At the turn of the sword, the right leg that the man had just lifted was wrenched from the ankle of the foot, and the man screamed miserably, planted diagonally into the snow, and rolled with a terrible wail. A white-robed killer strolled after him, slashed him on the neck with one palm, slashed him unconscious, pulled him by the collar, and dragged him back like a dead dog, leaving a terrifying line of blood in his path.

This person is the living mouth they left behind, but they did not try to bandage this person's wounds, and the cold winter wax moon, dripping water into ice, and soon this person's wounds will freeze into ice, and they will not die from excessive blood loss.

Six people suddenly killed three people, and cut off one person's foot, but it was as if they had only slaughtered three wild dogs, and the expression on their faces was calm and calm. They searched the three corpses carefully, and put all the findings into their arms.

A moment later, six men led the four horses, carrying the half-dead walker, and disappeared into the snowstorm. The wind and snow would soon bury the bloodstains, scattered corpses, and weapons on the ground. If the smelly beasts can't dig them out of the snow and wrap them around, they'll have to wait until spring is in full bloom to be discovered.

These six people are just one of the hundreds of squads sent by Xianzong after Yang Fan's order, they were lucky to find the people to be found in the mission, and after completing the task, they handed over the things they searched and the live ones they captured, as for Weishenme who killed people and killed them, they didn't care, they were originally horse bandits who killed people without blinking, and they just did things and took money.

After five changes of hands, the seized things and living mouths were taken over by Yang Fan's people, and the five layers of relationships before that didn't know that they were doing things for the heir hall, and they didn't even know that there was a heir hall in the world. The living mouth was interrogated by Yang Fan's people, and as long as the person was alive, they had a way to get someone to speak.

Soon, the news they asked about was carried by a dog-pulled sleigh, and the arrows were sent through the snowy Guanzhong Plain to Chang'an City. Yang Fan was on duty in the Thousand Cavalry Camp at this time, and the news was passed to Ren Wei, Yang Fan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the secret letter, he unfortunately said it, Tubo really had other plans!

P: We sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets!.
