"The military department has received six hundred miles of expedited performance! The Turks sent troops to the Bohai Kingdom." Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, entered the palace late at night and reported to Li Shimin, who was reviewing the recital.

Li Shimin was shocked, stood up suddenly, came to Li Jing, and said in a deep voice, "Speak up, what is the specific situation?"

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the scout soldiers and horses assigned by the minister reported that the Turks were waving their banners, and the people were uncountable. Judging by the banners, there are millions of them."

Li Shimin frowned and pondered bitterly, "It is absolutely impossible for the Turks to have an army of one million people. This is a suspicious tactic, why should you use this suspicious tactic."

Li Jing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Turks will invade the Central Plains in a big way in the near future. The minister suggested that Youzhou, Yuanzhou, Shuozhou, and Daizhou should enter military alert, and the Lingzhou Yellow River fleet should be stationed in Chang'an to stand by, and transport troops to Hebei, Hedong, and Guanzhong Road for reinforcements at any time. A curfew has been imposed in Chang'an."

"It's impossible for the Turks to have so many people attacking in all directions, they must want us to let our guard down as if the Turkic army was in the Bohai Sea. In fact, they will gather all their troops and horses in one place, hoping to conquer the states of Guannai in one fell swoop. Your advice is very good, as long as we repel this Turkic attack, then they will be forever powerless. That's when you send an army to attack Dingxiang City." Li Shimin said excitedly.

"The Turks' show of force is a sign that they are at their weakest moment, and at this moment, they are revealing their wolf ambitions. As long as I repel this possible surprise attack by the Turks, I have absolute confidence that I can capture Dingxiang City in one battle. Your Majesty, please rest assured." Li Jing also felt a burst of excitement.

"Well, this is the first time we've been so eagerly waiting for the Turks to invade south, and I don't know how Jili Khan feels." When Li Shimin said this, he laughed with Li Jing.

The candlelight of the Liangyi Hall was lit again at the fifth watch, and more than a dozen ministers of the Tang Dynasty got up from the warm quilt and gathered in front of the imperial book case of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since everyone agrees with the opinion of the military department Shangshu that the Turks are about to invade on a large scale, then I immediately order the states outside the Saiwai to enter military alert. A curfew has been imposed in Chang'an City, effective today." Li Shimin stood up from behind the imperial book case, picked up another official document, and said, "But there is still a problem. Everyone must remember that the prime minister of the Bohai Kingdom once secretly sent an envoy to our court to buy 5,000 pairs of armor, 10,000 long knives, and 10,000 shields from our court. These goods were already ready, and they would be escorted to Bohai by Datang's famous dart team in the near future. However, the Turks raided the city of Limo at this moment, and even if these goods arrived, they would all go into the hands of the Turks. What do you think about it?"

The elder of the two dynasties, the left servant shot Feng Deyi out of the train, and said in a deep voice: "Since the city of Limo has been besieged by the Turks, even if the goods reach the Bohai Sea, it will be useless. It's better to let people know that the darts don't have to be carried out of the jam, that's it."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said, "Since Datang and Bohai have become a state of brothers, brothers are in trouble, how can we make matters worse. In my opinion, this shipment should be delivered and must be delivered. If it is unlucky, it shows that our Datang not only does not have the friendship of sharing weal and woe with its friends, but also does not have the determination to confront the Turks. However, I was also hesitant in my heart, because once this batch of goods was taken over by the Turks, it would inevitably make them stronger, and it would be a headache for me to ship or not. I wonder what you can do?"

Qin Shubao, the general of Zuo Wuwei, walked out of the train and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, please escort this batch of goods to the Bohai Sea with 10,000 horses, break through the encirclement of wolf soldiers, and deliver them to the King of Bohai in front of the Turks, as a sign of the power of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Uncle Bao has this very good intention, but even if the King of Bohai accepts this batch of goods and is taken away by the Turks, the problem is still not solved."

At this time, Shangshu Zuo Cheng and secretary Wei Zheng smiled slightly, walked out of the train, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has thought of a method that can show that my Tang Dynasty supports the position of the Bohai Dynasty, and the goods sent are of little use if they fall into the hands of the Turks."

Li Shimin was overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly said, "Zuo Cheng, hurry up."

Wei Zheng arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that the gold in the treasury be used to create a set of gold armor for the Lord of the Bohai Sea according to the armor worn by the Holy Lord's soldiers, to replace five thousand pairs of armor and ten thousand pairs of swords and shields."

Li Shimin tilted his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Bohai Kingdom Lord Da Qirong is only four or five years old, so isn't the style of this armor very small."

Wei Zheng smiled and said nothing, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Li Shimin paced back and forth a few steps, Huo Ran clapped his hands and laughed, and said loudly, "Wonderful, wonderful. This armor can just give Bohai Hai, who is in the midst of national crisis, an encouragement to overcome all difficulties and build a country with one heart. The best thing is that this golden armor can only be worn by the lord of the Bohai Sea, even if the Turks take it, they will have no use, and they can only stare at it. Brilliant plan, really good plan."

He excitedly walked up to the Imperial Book Case and said, "There is Lao Zuocheng personally supervising the creation of this golden armor that is unparalleled in the world. As soon as it is completed, I will send the best dart team of the Tang Dynasty to escort it to the Bohai Kingdom."

The Flying Tiger Dart Bureau in Chang'an City lit dozens of bright butter candles, and the martial arts arena in front of the main hall of the Dart Bureau was full of tables and chairs. On weekdays, the elite of the dart game from the south to the north are all gathered here at this moment, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, and talking about the wine. In the backyard, there was a sound of sharpening knives and slaughtering pigs and sheep, and Peng Wuwang, the chief dart head of the Flying Tiger Dart Bureau, stood at the door of the kitchen, directing the chefs of the Dart Bureau to go in and out of the kitchen.

"Start three pots, give me three pots at the same time, all of them make braised pork, affordable enough, enjoyable enough." Peng Wuwang shouted loudly, "Put all the materials I told you in, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Chief Darthead, did you just say chili pepper or laurel?" A busy and dizzy chef came to Peng Wuwang and said breathlessly.

"Actually, it's like this, the braised pork on the table of the Bashu dart master is more peppered peppers. The braised pork on the table of the Jiangnan dart master puts more sugar, laurel, and less salt. When they went up to Guanzhong, the table of the Qingzhou dart master put more dry spicy seeds, and they liked that energy. Alright, go quickly." Peng Wuwang said happily.

At this moment, Hong Sixue walked in from the back door of the kitchen, came to his side, and asked with concern, "Big brother, what's wrong with you these days?" As if it were a different person? Are you alright?"

Peng Wuwang turned his head to look at her, revealing a cheerful smile: "Sister-in-law, I was unhappy because of some things a few days ago, which made everyone worried. However, now that I have figured it all out and will never collapse again, you can rest assured of me."

Hong Sixue looked at him deeply and said softly, "Big brother, I don't know what difficult things you have encountered, but since it has rained and the sky has sunny, I am also happy for you."

Peng Wuwang's eyes showed a hint of warmth, and he said softly, "Sister-in-law, eldest brother knows, I have something to say, I should tell you. But there are some things in the world that are inhumane and cannot be shared, and even if you know about it, you will be helpless."

Hong Sixue smiled slightly and said, "Seeing that the eldest brother is as energetic as before, Sixue only has joy in her heart, and to hell with the eldest brother's thoughts."

"To hell with it." Peng Wuwang looked up to the sky and laughed, "Okay, just let it go to hell."

At this moment, a cook in a dart game ran over and said, "Mr. Peng's dart head, all the materials are placed, what will happen in the future?"

Peng Wuwang hurriedly inspected the vast kitchen, and then said categorically: "Pour the rice wine, pour the whole bottle, quickly!" He turned his head and smiled at Hong Sixue, and said, "Sixue, let's go and greet the guests, the braised pork will be cooked in half an hour."

"Serve!" With the enthusiastic shouts of the dart players, more than a dozen pots of red as red dates and fragrant large pieces of braised pork were placed on the table like flowing water. Until this moment, the warm atmosphere in the Flying Tiger Dart Game reached the most **, and everyone involuntarily stood up, raised their wine glasses, and shouted: "Cheers to the head of the dart!"

Peng Wuwang took off his apron, walked out of the kitchen excitedly, came to the chairman, raised his wine glass, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers and sisters, the four darts of the Flying Tiger Dart Bureau arrived in Chang'an safely at the same time in Bashu, Hainan, Jiangnan, and Northwest today. This is a great event, and it also marks a new level of business for our Flying Tiger Dart Bureau. Here I would like to toast you, come, drink to win!"

"!" The dart masters of the dart game were all so excited that their faces lit up, and they drank all the wine in their glasses.

Peng Wuwang poured another glass of wine and said loudly, "Who is it that our Flying Tiger Dart Game can rely on to get to where it is today? Am I hopeless?" He raised his glass, looked at everyone, smiled bitterly, and said, "Wrong! I Peng can't hope to run around all day long, not doing my job, how much can I manage the affairs of the dart game?" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the dart game burst into laughter, obviously agreeing with this sentence.

"This cup, I respect my righteous sister Hong Sixue." Peng Wuwang raised the wine glass flat on his chest, and turned his head to look at Hong Sixue, "The Flying Tiger Dart Bureau is no matter how big or small, and the righteous sister has to deal with it herself. The righteous sister works hard day and night, others don't know, how can I Peng hopeless not know. Respect for the righteous sister!"

"To the Red Girl!" Everyone shouted loudly, and hundreds of wine glasses were raised high again.

Hong Sixue held the wine glass in both hands, her eyes contained relief and joy, her pretty face was flushed, she silently raised the glass, and drank it all, this action attracted a burst of earth-shattering cheers in the dart game.

Peng Wuwang poured the third glass of wine, his eyes flashed with a hint of remembrance, and he said in a deep voice: "I remember that when I met a woman with peerless elegance on the shore of Dongting Lake." At this, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he coughed and continued, "I was amazed that I recklessly kissed my relatives on the ground."

At this point, the game fell into a long-lasting laughter. Lei Yechang, the guest secretary of the dart bureau, laughed wildly and said loudly: "Brother Peng, I just served you today, and your courage is even greater than mine."

An imperceptible wry smile appeared on Peng Wuhope's face, and he continued, "That woman offered that as long as I gave 10,000 taels of gold as a dowry, she would marry me." This sentence caused a boo from everyone in the dart game, among which Lei Yechang's boo was particularly loud.

Peng Wuwang nodded, pointed at Lei Ye and said, "Yes, I learned later that she told me more tactfully, please don't be delusional." Everyone laughed.

Peng Wuwang smiled slightly, turned his head and asked Li Yu, the skilled craftsman sitting beside him, "Mr. Li, how much have we earned in the past few months?"

Li Yu didn't think about it, and blurted out: "According to the calculation from the date of the start of reconstruction last year, the net income is two hundred and seventy-six taels and three dollars and five."

Peng Wuwang asked again, "In this way, how many days can it reach 10,000 taels."

Li Yu thought for a while and said, "According to the five months to earn two hundred and fifty taels, ten months to earn five hundred taels, two hundred months is ten thousand taels. Twelve months a year, that is, sixteen years and eight months, you can earn 10,000 taels."

Peng Wuwang nodded and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, according to this, when I, Peng Wuhope, is forty years old, I will be able to win the return of beauty." This remark caused a group of young darts in the dart game to cheer loudly.

Peng Wuwang raised the wine high on his chest, came to the seat of Li Yu and Fang Mengjing, and said loudly: "The money and silver of the dart game are huge, and the expenses are huge and incalculable. Here, a toast to the two treasurers!"

"To Mr. Li, to Miss Fang!" The crowd shouted enthusiastically again and drank victoriously. Li Yu was already smiling from ear to ear at this time, Fang Mengjing glanced at Peng Wuwang meaningfully, nodded with satisfaction, and drank it all.

"Brother Peng, don't you really want to get 10,000 taels?" Zuo Lianshan drank and asked playfully.

"Of course not," Peng jumped up fearlessly, "My third brother is a great hero, naturally there will be countless women with blue eyes, and it is not worth it to take 10,000 taels out and hire them."

Peng Wuwang smiled bitterly and sighed secretly: "If you can buy a beloved to always be by your side for 10,000 taels, it is too cheap."
