There is no choice but to strengthen vigilance. But when the officers and soldiers were staring, the thief did not stop, and stole a few more. For a time, there was a lot of noise in Qiuzi City. This kind of behavior is simply another provocation, an even greater provocation.

Bai Shiyi's military and political affairs were also taken care of, and he personally sat in the battle, because the emperor's birthday was coming, and the Bukhara country, as the Tang people said, paid tribute to a white jade exquisite pagoda. It is said that a total of feet high, thirteen layers, is carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade, and it is natural. The carving is also extremely exquisite, hollowed out in the middle, the wall is as thin as paper, the scenery of each layer of the tower is different, there are thirteen treasures solemn Buddha, sitting in it. Originally, it was difficult to color jade, but this exquisite pagoda has calligraphy and painting on it, and it is still an extremely rare inner painting, faintly revealing from the jade color.

The white jade exquisite pagoda was made by a great master who was exiled to Anguo, and after the pagoda was carved, the master passed away suddenly. Rare jade, rare craftsmanship, rare masterpieces, so the achievement of priceless treasures.

Such a precious thing will naturally attract that thief, how can Bai Shiyi not be in good spirits? If this thing is lost, there is no way to explain to Anguo and Datang, not only to lose the emperor's face, but also to Bai Shiyi's dereliction of duty. If he is attacked, the emperor will have to transfer him away from Anxi, which will have an impact on the peace of the border. If it is provoked by people with intentions again, it will cause a rift between Anguo and Datang, which will shake the entire political situation.

As long as the state is involved, there are no small things. A big thief, to put it bluntly, is a particularly powerful thief, but because of stealing, he affects the overall situation, and that is really more than worth the loss.

"Father, Daddy. Why don't you go get some rest? Chun Tu Yu persuaded, "There are so many people in the house, there will be no problems." ”

She called Bai Shiyi and Chun Dashan like this, naturally because she was in front of people.

At this time. Seven or eight officials, headed by Bai Shiyi, sat in the meeting hall in front of the Dadu Protectorate, all wearing official uniforms. Seeing that it was getting late, everyone looked solemn.

These people have been sleepless for three days. His eyes were all red, and his beard was scumbag, and he looked tired and haggard. It's like tightening the bowstring, and if it goes on like this, it has to be broken.

Bai Shiyi shook his head, "Tomorrow I will personally escort the treasure away, and it will be safe when I arrive in Datang." "The four towns of Anxi are also the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but they are isolated from each other, and there is a large area of land in the Western Regions in between.

Since the Linglong Pagoda was escorted into Ansi by the Bukhara State. All the local officers and soldiers became nervous. It's not nice to say. That baby is a hot potato for the officers and soldiers of Anxi. Extremely unpopular. Only if it is safely sent to the inland of Datang, if anything happens, it will have nothing to do with this side. And only then. Only then can everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

That said, tonight is particularly important. A thief is not a robber after all. As long as he left Qiuzi City and directly confronted the regular army outside, he couldn't bargain. I believe that he will not dare. So for the great thief, tonight is also the only chance to be in the land of the Western Regions.

"Lord Vice-Protector, you can't leave Guizi." Tong Dongrui stood up and said, "The four towns of Anxi seem to be peaceful, but they have always been surrounded by enemies, among which Tubo is the most. The city cannot be left without a handsome for a day, if you escort the treasure away, and the enemy takes advantage of the void to enter, it will be a big trouble for the sky to fall! ”

Bai Shiyi waved his hand, "Needless to say, I have made up my mind." It's not long before he leaves, but he will return in half a month, with only two thousand men and horses. Even if the Tibetans were eyeing each other, they would not dare to send troops rashly. Moreover, there are still more than 20,000 soldiers stationed in the four towns, and I will let Dashan temporarily take over the post of brigade commander. With him, there will definitely be no chaos. ”

"Xiaguan is worried about you, Lord Bai!" Tong Dongrui hurriedly said, "Who doesn't know, you are the backbone of Anxi, as long as you are a little injured, Anxi Si will be calm and stormy." Although there is no shortage of famous generals in Datang, in this place, only you can stabilize the situation. ”

This is almost directly to the surface. If there is an enemy who covets the four towns, as long as Bai Shiyi is killed, even if Han Mou sends someone who can fight well, first, he must be familiar with border affairs, second, he must reintegrate the military and politics, and third, whether there is a deterrent effect. At the very least, there will be a mess for a while. You must know that a lion with a flock of sheep can beat a sheep with a flock of lions. The role of the coach is unimaginable.

In order to ensure the tranquility of the place, Bai Shiyi only took 2,000 soldiers and horses with him, and if he was ambushed by the regular army, he would be in danger. In this part of the Western Regions, Bai Shiyi was able to keep the peace of the four towns without the support of the Tang Dynasty, and he was naturally not as familiar with the situation as other small countries in the Borderlands. If you are right, you will definitely suffer.

Moreover, the big thief has made such a fierce fuss this time, and the small countries with great ambitions around him must have been prepared. If you think about it more terrifyingly, the thief is joining forces with other regimes, and Bai Shiyi's move is to be forced, as if he has jumped into someone else's trap. As long as the ambushers don't reveal their whereabouts, where is Datang's thunderous anger?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, in the case that the Tang Dynasty is so strong, those small countries have thieves but no thieves, what about the Tang Dynasty? Those people only know how to compete for power and profit, and they are not familiar with border affairs at all, so they take the opportunity to impeach the deputy capital protector for leaving the four towns without permission, no matter how wise the emperor is, he cannot ignore the laws of the country and insist on going his own way.

There is a clear provision in the "Law of the Occupational System" of the Tang Dynasty that the emperor wants to govern the country according to the law, so naturally he can't slap himself in the face. Although this move was also done in the name of official duties, after all, there were no official orders and official documents, and it did not reach the level of not being subject to the king's orders in wartime. Sometimes, the border soldiers fought bloodily and could not resist the upper and lower lips of the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China.

"Needless to say." Bai Shiyi was very firm, "I know that Lord Changshi is thinking about me. But as far as Pontus is concerned, Anxi's face cannot be lost, and Datang's face cannot be lost. If you let a little thief play with it, it is not your head or my head that can withstand it. This is also very clear: dignity is sometimes more important than life and everything.

The officials of the four towns of Anxi made the thief uneasy, but they could not catch him, and his face was already lost. The Linglong Pagoda is the last fig leaf that must not be torn off. Tong Dongrui has a point, and others understand it, but they are helpless.

"It's all the thief!" Chun Tu said hatefully, "If he is a common person in the Tang Dynasty, he must be a homeless villain." ”

"How?" Tong Dongrui was also so angry that his face turned pale.

"I'm a woman, and I don't know too much about it. But I know that thieves also have a way, and I know that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. That person just stealed, he had already violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that now he is stirring up the peace of the family and the country. ”

"It may not have been done by the thief in the past." Tong Dongrui insisted on his point of view.

Chun Tu Yu ignored it and continued, "Judging from his previous behavior, he is a smart person, how could he not know the harm that this move will do to the Tang Kingdom and the people? Datang lost face, is he very proud? The people of the Tang Dynasty are in turmoil, and the four towns of Anxi are in turmoil, is he very happy? Knowing what the result is, but still doing this, is simply despicable and shameless, and he doesn't even talk about it! For the sake of that bit of silver, even the ancestors have forgotten, they are traitors and unworthy of being people! ”

She said this ruthlessly, for the ancients, counting the ancestors was the biggest accusation. For people, especially men, it is the greatest insult and contempt.

"Forget it, it's also the incompetence of Bendu, and he hasn't been able to catch the robber, so he actually let him pull up the people, and the more trouble it gets." Bai Shiyi sighed and picked up the tea in his hand, "Let's go down first." At this time, it is not yet late at night, and the thief will not choose this time to make a move, so he should seize the time to rest, lest he be in good spirits when something really happens. ”

Tong Changshi still wanted to say something, he seemed to be particularly dissatisfied with Bai Shiyi's blind listening to Chun Tui, and without investigating clearly, he thought that the two thieves before and after were the same person. But seeing that the other officials left silently, he hesitated and retreated.

Bai Shiyi and Chun Dashan didn't move, and even the supper was brought out by Chun Tu. I'm afraid that something will happen, but now even in the Dadu Protectorate, Xiaofeng and Feng will follow up, and they will never let Chun Tu be left alone.

Until Hai Shi, the most tired moment of the day, and also the most sluggish moment, Bai Shiyi and Chun Dashan were half-crooked in the chair, and their waists were not as straight as before. There was no fire kang in the council hall, and although the two charcoal basins were burning vigorously, the place was too big for the warmth to withstand the cold. Sitting next to the charcoal basin, I only felt the chill like ice water, crawling all over my body from the soles of my feet.

When it is cold, people become more drowsy.

At this moment, a noise was heard in the quiet night. Because there is no howling wind tonight, it seems vague and distant, but there is a hint of truth and frightening.

"What's wrong?" Bai Shiyi instantly became energetic.

Chun Dashan also stood up.

"Oh no!" A soldier came in and reported, "The armory of the Yamen is on fire!" ”

"Dashan, you go and take a look." Bai Shiyi ordered, "Be careful, because I won't give you too many people." Coveting treasures and lighting fires to divert tigers from the mountains are common means. ”

By this time, Bai Shiyi calmed down, not moved by all kinds of harassment and confusion, and had the demeanor of a Confucian general.

"Don't worry, sir." On official business, Chun Dashan naturally uses the attitude of his subordinates to Shangfeng, and is no longer his sister-in-law to his uncle.

"Daddy!" Spring is nervous for no reason.

"Well, don't run around." Chun Dashan stroked Chun Tu's hair and strode away.

"Lord Deputy Protector, the thief is only afraid to do it." Tong Dongrui broke in and passed by Chun Dashan at the door, but he didn't even say hello, it can be seen that he can't take care of it, "Is the treasure still safe?" ”

"Don't worry." An arrogant smile suddenly appeared in Bai Shiyi's eyes, "I have prepared eight places, the treasure is in the living gate, and the thief must have the ability to find it." If he doesn't come, it will be his fate, and if he comes, this is a trap dug for him. He covets a treasure, and can't that treasure be bait for him? ”
