He didn't like the tone of the tone in which Princess Taiping said this, as if he was a commodity to be sold at a price, and his future fate would be determined after being looked at. That's right, the appearance of the boys of his Gao family is indeed deceptive, but they have established themselves in the world with military merits and live an upright life, and they are not the first to face the like, how can they be insulted like this!

This kid, why is he like a hedgehog, and this is about to start stabbing people? Looking at Gao Xianzhi who had changed his face with interest, Princess Taiping didn't intend to stimulate him anymore: "This is only a small part of the reason, and the main thing is actually another thing." ”

"What?" Noticing the little girl who was obviously hungry on the side, Gao Xianzhi wisely took the initiative to ask. Although he didn't know what Princess Taiping's intention was to hold Tao Yao by his side, he could feel that this woman had not shown any malice so far. Since this is the case, the information she wants to give must be beneficial to herself, and it is not okay not to ask if she understands.

The slender white fingers tapped lightly on the table, and Princess Taiping's voice was orderly: "Do you know that not long ago, the soldiers of my Celestial Dynasty defeated Tubo, and they had no power to fight back?" ”

"I heard my father mention it. General Chen Daci is strategizing and commanding, and this battle is quite beautiful, and it is time for the class to return to the dynasty in the near future. ”

"In the first year of Jiushi, Tang Xiujing tried his best to defeat the Tibetan army, and the Sacred Heart was happy." Princess Taiping nodded, and a pair of narrow and noble phoenix eyes flowed out of a fierce force before Gu Pan, which was actually like the empress who was high above: "In just two years, Tubo has been defeated one after another, and the people and horses have been lost, and the burden is lavish. They are no better than us, but they can't afford such huge consumption, and I heard that they already have the intention of making peace. ”

"Seeking peace ......" subconsciously recited these two meaningful words, and Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but be shocked for a while.

Since ancient times, weak countries have begged for peace and surrendered, which is nothing more than paying tribute, usually in order to show their sincerity, they will also have the idea of courting relatives, and conclude eternal goodness in the form of marriage. And as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, even if it is for the sake of showing his bearing and preaching education, Emperor Wu will definitely not agree. After all, this is the choice of relatives, except for the princess, that is the number one clan girl and the high-ranking lady, which is really not a big problem.

"Of course, there are a lot of women in my dynasty, but except for those who are married to women and have a marriage contract, in terms of age, there are really not many." Looking at the young man's unpredictable expression, he knew that he had already grasped the point, Princess Taiping smiled slightly, and was a lot more satisfied in her heart: "If there is no accident, this candidate will definitely be produced among the few in Xinping." ”

That's why Li Jijiang is so anxious at this time that he wants to show his heart regardless of his demeanor? Gao Xianzhi pondered this sentence carefully, but found that there was still an unfinished meaning in it: "What if there is an accident?" "Tao Yao is still so young, so she can't ......

"If she was still in Chang'an, there would be no surprise. But the gods are all treacherous, and it is the most elusive place. Stretching out her hand to take the chestnut cake in front of Tao Yao, Princess Taiping couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Okay, like a little gluttonous cat, I can't stop eating!" It's time to eat soon, beware of bad spleen and stomach! ”

Sneered and retracted her hand, Tao Yao didn't seem to understand the conversation just now, just stared at the door, concentrating on waiting for the meal to start. And the topic was picked up to such a point, Gao Xianzhi also knew that it was useless to talk more, so he stopped and pondered directly, and got up to say goodbye after dinner.

Tao Yao reluctantly sent him out with Princess Taiping's playful eyes, but he didn't say a word along the way, until the two of them saw the palace gate not far away.

"Okay, it's all here, you should go back too, or Aunt Akihara will catch up and kidnap you." It seemed that at this time, he had pulled back his mind of running away, Gao Xianzhi glanced at the female history who fell a few steps behind them, and habitually rubbed the girl's head: "My father and I can't come to the palace to see you at any time, be careful." ”

"Hmm." Responding obediently, Tao Yao's big eyes stared at the young man for a while, and suddenly grabbed his hand: "Brother Huaijin, is there really no way for me to go back to Chang'an?" Her voice was not loud, she probably didn't want Akihara to hear it, so the grievance in her tone became even stronger.

It seems that Yao'er still listened to today's words. Feeling her intelligence, but also distressed by her excessive caution, Gao Xianzhi sighed, clenched the cold little hand in his palm, and wanted to give her a little warmth and strength: "Don't be afraid, Brother Huaijin won't let you have anything." ”

"I don't want to...... Go to Tibet. Knowing that some things are taboo in the palace, the breath of the last two words of the girl is lighter, but looking at the shape of her lips, Gao Xianzhi also understands what she means, including the panic and horror in these simple six words. She was afraid, worried, at a young age, she was already full of sorrow and forced laughter for an unknowable fate.

"I know, I know." Agreeing again and again, Gao Xianzhi only felt that one of her hearts was clenched by her hand: "Xiao'er, believe me, there will not be such a day." Whenever and wherever you are, I will protect you. ”

Under the cover of night, the young man's muttered promise was loud, smashing into the girl's heart like a hammer, making her involuntarily trust and look forward to it. As if holding his hand, she can't see the bright future, there will be no more darkness and cold, and he will always stand by her side.

It's just that at that time, they didn't know that making a person's oath was the same as the covenant of the sea and the rocks, which was a difficult thing in this world.
