Wang Maozhong has always wanted to tell Li Longji these thoughts, but every time he was about to speak, he couldn't help but think of Ah Lang's beating and eyes on him on the way back to Chang'an that day. Every time he thinks about it, he feels lost and aggrieved.

He was originally a Goguryeo man, but he was exiled to the Tang Dynasty due to war when he was a child, and soon fell into the hands of human traffickers. A few years later, he was transferred to Chang'an, where he was sold in the West Market with horses, donkeys, mules, etc. If nothing else, he will be like other foreign slaves and maids in this life, owned by the good people of the Tang people, and even driven by the slaves and maids of the Tang people.

His complexion is not white, he is dark yellow, his figure is thin, and his appearance is ordinary, which is really not the appearance that Tang people like on weekdays, so it is very difficult to sell. The seller was deceived into buying him, so he has always been very harsh on him, especially after thinking that this little slave could not be sold at all, and he did not hesitate to beat and scold. If he hadn't met Li Longji, he was afraid that he would have died in obscurity in Xishi.

At that time, Li Longji was only seven years old, and he was released from the palace by Empress Zetian for the first time. He will always remember Li Longji's eyes and smile at that time, between the pride as dazzling as the sun and the cunning of agility, with a bit of natural childishness.

From the first sight, he made up his mind to follow this master for the rest of his life.

Thinking back like this, he had unconsciously walked outside Xiao Jiangyuan's room.

Those words, if he said those words to Ah Lang, the result would only be exactly the same as last time, but if it was said by Xiao Jiangyuan, it would be different. If anyone says it right now, Ah Lang can still listen to it, but there are only three people at most. A princess, that is a wife, but the princess is still martial, and she has always respected Ah Lang's opinion very much, so if it is her, it would be good not to approve it in turn; Second, Liu Youqiu, that is a staff strategist, this plan is inseparable from him, how could he oppose it? Then only Xiao Jiangyuan remains.

And the other two, one is a life wife, and the other is an official, he is not sure that he can persuade him, but Xiao Jiangyuan, although Ah Lang values it, even the Queen of Heaven has favored her before, but her identity is still a slave after all, and she is not much different from herself, so what she thinks in her heart should be similar to her own. She should have listened to his concerns.

It's just that...... He has always been very affectionate to others, because Ah Lang attaches great importance to Xiao Jiangyuan, he respects her even more, but in exchange for only indifference and alienation, he rarely has contact with Xiao Jiangyuan anymore. This day was so sudden, and I don't know if Xiao Jiangyuan would feel that he had ulterior motives, but he couldn't care so much.

"Xiao Nei...... Lang Jun, the villain has something to say to you. ”

"Wang Langjun said it directly." Xiao Jiangyuan was holding a scroll in one hand and a pen in the other, remembering something, while raising his eyes from time to time to take a look at Li Longji's study with the door closed - Xiao Jiangyuan's residence was on the side of Li Longji's study, and when he saw Wang Maozhong coming to look for him, he smiled faintly and bowed dignifiedly, but he never looked at Wang Maozhong.

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's appearance from the past, Wang Maozhong felt awkward again, but he still said: "Can you borrow a ......?"

"No." Xiao Jiangyuan interrupted with a light smile, resolutely.

Although Xiao Jiangyuan is estranged, he is very polite to everyone, rarely interrupts people, and even refuses is very tactful, how could he be so direct? Therefore, Wang Maozhong was stunned for a moment before he said, "Xiao Langjun is busy at the moment? I just have a few words, and I can't wait long. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan's smile was still very standard: "What Wang Langjun wants to say, the crow slave already knows it." The crow slave advised, Lang Jun might as well go to the princess or Liu County Lieutenant, or General Wan Qige and General Chen, who you are more familiar with, but I am afraid that they are easier to persuade than the crow slave. After speaking, without waiting for Wang Maozhong to speak, and without looking at Wang Maozhong's expression, she turned around and walked towards the study.

After knocking on the door twice, and without waiting for any response from inside, she opened the door and walked in—a privilege that Li Longji had given her.

When he closed the door, Xiao Jiangyuan paused slightly and raised his eyes. Wang Maozhong had already turned to leave, and he couldn't see his expression, but he could see his fists clenched, like a stubborn stone.

The discussion between Li Longji and the others was not interrupted because Xiao Jiangyuan came in. Xiao Jiangyuan didn't listen carefully, anyway, after the people left, Li Longji would tell her these contents. She only quietly cooked the tea, put it in front of them one by one, and then retreated to Li Longji and knelt down, continuing to scribble on the scroll.

Wang Maozhong's concerns are actually correct, but these problems are not unsolvable, and although a coup d'état is risky, isn't it even greater to sit back and wait for death? The comparison between the two phases is naturally the lighter, as for what will be the result...... As long as they do their best, they will always give them an account.

The big deal is death, is it not a coup d'état, you can escape the damage of Webster, and you won't die? A coup d'état is their only chance of survival.

"The King...... I have something to say, don't mind. I must have done this with the king, but I always felt that we didn't have enough manpower and power, and I didn't have the bottom of my heart after all. Ge Fu said.

Li Longji nodded: "I have also carefully calculated, our troops are already insufficient, not to mention others." Whether this plan can succeed or not, there are still many joints that need to be dredged, and we are far from enough. ”

"The minister has also thought about this matter," Liu You begged, "After all, it is about the Li Tang clan, if we join forces with the Li Tang clan to start an incident, the probability will be higher." ”

"What County Lieutenant Liu said makes sense......

"This works......"

Chen seconded the proposal.

"But...... Who to look for? ”

In addition to King Xiang, that is the most suitable Li Shouli, the king of Siyong, after all, he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and his identity is there, but the Siyong Wangfu is also besieged by the soldiers, although it is not as strict as the siege of the Xiangwang Mansion, but the goal is still too big and it is not feasible.

Xiao Jiangyuan secretly said in her heart, even if it was feasible, she would not let Ah Lang go to Li Shouli, Li Shouli's identity is more sensitive than Li Chengqi's identity, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not turn against the guest after the matter is completed. After such a trouble, it's good to keep it, how can you still look for it?

Li Longji has rarely spoken in the past few days, giving his staff members the opportunity to express their opinions as much as possible, and at most making a summary at the end, and even summarizations are often done by Liu Youqiu, and this day is the same. He hooked the corners of his lips and watched his staff meditate hard, and the silence for a long time did not break it, even if he had a plan in his heart.

Xiao Jiangyuan turned her eyes and glanced at Liu Youqiu, seeing that he clearly thought of something, but she stopped talking, she slowly spoke: "In fact, in terms of proximity, there is one person who is very suitable. ”

"Xiao Langjun is talking about Princess Taiping of Zhenguo?" Liu Youqiu looked at Xiao Jiangyuan, saw her bow, and said, "In terms of intimacy, power, and its status in the Li Tang clan, it is true that the princess of Zhenguo is the most suitable, but ......" said and glanced at Li Longji again, and did not continue-this young county king clearly thought of the princess of Zhenguo, but he didn't say anything, was he waiting for them to say, or was there something wrong with the choice of the princess of Zhenguo?

He thought that Li Longji would continue to say, or Xiao Jiangyuan asked rhetorically, but he saw that both of them were unexpected. First of all, Li Longji smiled and said: "General Ge, General Chen, Director Zhong, Wang Fengyu, what do you think of this aunt San Lang?" ”

Several people glanced at each other and nodded: "It's indeed extremely suitable, it's just ......" said and looked at Liu Youqiu one after another.

"That's it." Li Longji got up and said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, I'll go to my aunt's place now, you wait for me, I'll be back soon." ”

Pu Run originally sat on the side silently reciting the scriptures with a light face, only occasionally making some suggestions, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stopped: "San Lang don't be in a hurry, first listen to what County Lieutenant Liu has to say." ”

Li Longji smiled briskly: "How can he have anything to say?" It's nothing more than thinking too much. My aunt is a princess, it is difficult to be an emperor, her identity is insensitive, she is powerful, and she is also the Li Tang clan, so she is the most unusurped by Empress Wei, who is she looking for? You are my brothers and staff, and if you can't speak directly to me and be honest, how can such a great thing be accomplished? ”

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan sitting silently with his eyes down and kneeling, Liu Youqiu immediately understood Li Longji's intentions. He tilted his head and looked at the tall young man Lang Jun, his eyes were in a trance. This Lang Jun is so young, and the smile on his lips is so arbitrary, he already has the appearance of a romantic son, this is his new master. He solemnly bowed: "The king is wise. ”

Ge Fushun and the others were also suddenly convinced, and they also bowed down.

Is this what it's like to be worshipped? Li Longji only enjoyed it for a moment, then bent down and helped these people up one by one: "Then I'll go." Pander to...... Raven slave, take care of my brothers. ”

"Yes." Staring at the back of Li Longji leaving, Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes also shone brightly.

An hour has passed, two hours have passed, and Li Longji has never returned.

No matter how calm people are, they can't wait, Ge Fushun, who is more anxious, has been pacing back and forth in the study, Zhong Shaojing has been sitting steadily, and he is also a little like sitting on pins and needles at the moment, Chen Xuanli frowned deeply, and Wang Chongye secretly meditated and showed worry.

Liu Youqiu was also a little drumming in his heart, it can be seen that Xiao Jiangyuan is still doing what he should do, and his heart has settled down a lot for some reason. He couldn't help but be a little unconvinced, could it be that he was a stinky kid, and he could be more strategic than himself?

In fact, if you talk about strategy, Xiao Jiangyuan is indeed inferior to Liu Youqiu, but there are many aspects, Liu Youqiu, who has never lived in the court, is indeed not as thoughtful as Xiao Jiangyuan, and his understanding of Li Longji is even worse.

The only sound of boiling hot water could be heard in the study. Wang Chongye suddenly patted the case and said: "It's not good! ”

"What's wrong?" Ge Fushun immediately asked.

"King Linzi hasn't come back for so long, I'm afraid something is wrong!"

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
