Early the next morning, Li Tiantu was taking a walk in the back garden of the house. Linghu, who changed into a coarse linen outfit, innocently lost his demeanor as a master of the rivers and lakes, and from the looks of it, he was just an ordinary middle-aged man.

Li Tiantu stopped at the lakeside pavilion, turned around and said, "My chief manager, you make people feel a lot more cordial like this. ”

Linghu said with an innocent face: "My subordinates feel a lot more relaxed, they used to do things that were all about fighting for fame and profit, and the drizzle building was the name of the number one faction in the rivers and lakes, and the head of the turtle who was actually the Demon Venerable of the Heavenly Demon Sect made a hindrance from it, and it set off a lot of bloody rain in the rivers and lakes of the court." ”

Li Tiantu smiled and said, "Then how do you know that I won't let you do something chasing fame and fortune in the future?" ”

Linghu's innocent expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "Although my subordinates are ignorant, they still have the eye to see people. ”

Li Tiantu looked at the continuous ripples on the surface of the lake under the cold wind, and said in a low voice: "The calm and open lake doesn't want to move, but it can't withstand the caress of the cold wind, unless it is willing to be a clear spring in the mountain col, and so are people." Maybe, I shouldn't have gone back to Beijing, wouldn't it be better to be a prodigal son at ease. ”

Linghu innocently knew that since Li Tiantu confided in him, it showed that he had truly accepted and trusted himself, and said happily: "If Gongzi doesn't return to Beijing, once the balance of the capital division is broken, I'm afraid that it will be another round of shuffling that will hurt the Celestial Empire, not to mention that there is a Heavenly Demon Sect hidden in the shadows." ”

Heavenly Demon Sect!

Li Tiantu squinted his eyes slightly, and his mind was full of these three words. Although the Three Demon Venerable Turtles of the Heavenly Demon Sect had no regrets about his kindness, the high priest hurt Kunlun Nu Agui, who was affectionate to Li Tiantu, which was also the direct cause of Agui's fall. There are even more signs that the Heavenly Demon Sect has colluded with the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and I am afraid that the plot is even bigger.

It was precisely like this, Li Tiantu had to return to Beijing this time, it used to be a drizzle building, but now it has become the Heavenly Demon Sect, they will face each other sooner or later, although he knows that he is still more than lucky.

Who would have thought that behind the seemingly infinitely beautiful Li Tiantu was an unpredictable stormy sea, and when he returned to Beijing, he was still on the cusp of the storm, and if he was not careful, he would repeat the mistake of the last time he broke the eagle's beak cliff.

Li Tiantu turned around and walked towards Linghu innocently, and said indifferently when passing by him: "Let Ling'er take you to familiarize yourself with the environment in the lower mansion." I'm going to go to the palace. ”

The emperor should be anxious at this time, and he doesn't know what decision the Tibetan side will make this time.

At the end of the early dynasty, Tianxuandu was restless in the south study.

A report came from the Tibetan royal court that King Agaliming had descended from Bayan Mountain, and his momentum was even better than before.

This is the case with the top masters in the rivers and lakes, as long as they are seriously injured in a battle and do not die, they will have gains.

Because of the secret intervention of the Heavenly Demon Sect, in the late autumn, the secret war between the Celestial Empire and Tubo was finally Tubo who had the upper hand. After recovering from serious injuries in the war, King Agalimin seems to be diligent, while Ding's life and death are unknown.

The duel between two peak masters who seemed to have limited impact on the current situation influenced the decision of the Tubo royal court.

Although the Celestial Empire lost the world's number one master, Ding, it conquered Goryeo and avoided the danger of being attacked by the enemy.

In the early days of the Taiji Palace, the ministers discussed a lot, and the topics were all around whether Tubo would violate the border in the next step, and there was no famous hall after discussion.

The civil officials led by Prime Minister Jian Jiuling agreed that there was no need to worry too much, since the first emperor and pro-Tubo for decades, there had never been a major war, how could they control the current situation in the world because of the duel between two masters of the rivers and lakes, a big joke. As for the rumors of the Tubo royal court preparing to send troops to the Western Regions before the fall of Goryeo, it was also the words of the Tubo in order to seize the relics of the floating slaughter to fool the northern marquis of Goryeo Town.

The military attaché headed by Xue Rang, the general of the auxiliary state and the protector of Anton, believed that it was very likely that Tubo would send troops. The failure to take advantage of the opportunity of the Celestial Empire's troops to wave Goryeo was caused by General Ding's serious injury to King Agali Ming, the teacher of Tubo. At present, King Agaliming has recovered as before, while the Celestial Empire has lost the loyal and martial general Ding. Although Tubo lost the best fighter for the Celestial Empire's expedition to Goryeo, it secretly got the help of the Heavenly Demon Sect so that the Celestial Empire lost the Ding side of the art of war and martial arts, and it has become an inevitable trend to send troops in the spring of next year.

Although the commander of the Praetorian Guard was a close attendant of the Son of Heaven and was extremely powerful, the Celestial Empire stipulated that in addition to special needs, only civil and military ministers above the third rank were eligible to enter the early dynasty.

When Li Tiantu saw Tianxuandu in the south study, Prime Minister Jian Jiuling and the general of the auxiliary state, Xue Rang, stood under the press with low eyebrows and lowered their eyes, silent, and Tianxuandu, who was sitting behind the strip-shaped table, was leaning back against the wide dark red carved dragon golden silk nanmu chair, with a solemn expression, tilting his head and pressing the temples on both sides of his forehead with both hands.

The fire emitted from the air in the study was soaring, which made Li Tiantu, who had just entered the door, secretly taken aback.

Li Tiantu stood quietly behind the two ministers of the humerus, and he was glad that he came a little late. Obviously, the two of them have just experienced the baptism of the storm in Tianxuandu.

"Commander Li, do you want to increase troops in the Western Regions?" Tianxuandu sat up straight in an instant after seeing Li Tiantu, and his sharp gaze shot straight at the bottom of Li Tiantu's heart through Jian Jiuling and Xue Rang.

Li Tiantu suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight, not to mention how he was qualified to talk about military affairs as a small Praetorian Guard commander, but the two first-class officials in front of him obviously had different opinions, as long as he spoke, he would offend one of them. But when the Son of Heaven asked, he had to answer, so he had to bite the bullet and say a nonsense that even he felt useless: "No matter whether Tubo sends troops in the spring next year, we must be ready for war." ”

Tianxuandu, whose face was tense, softened, and looked at Li Tiantu with interest, expecting him to continue, and the two old ministers also looked dumbfounded, and took the initiative to take a step back, letting Li Tiantu stand side by side with them.

Li Tiantu originally wanted to confuse the past with a dispensable word, but now that he has become a realm facing Tianxuandu, he is still messing around in his mind, and he has no clue, so he has to make up his mind to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and he is imaginative: "The Western Regions is located in a remote place, and it is the middle of winter. Second, this move is tantamount to taking the initiative to declare war on Tibet, which will do more harm than good. ”

Li Tiantu looked around, and saw that Tianxuandu in front and Jian Jiuling and Xue Rang on the side had no different colors on their faces, and his hanging heart relaxed, and then said: "The best way at present is to start stationing troops in the border between Youzhou and the Western Regions, prepare enough food and grass, and prepare for the expedition." Once Tubo sends troops to the Western Regions, with Li Dadu's ability to protect and 60,000 Anxi elite soldiers, to defend Qiuzi, even if Tubo has 400,000 elite cavalry, it will be difficult to eat the Anxi Protectorate in a short time. We'll have plenty of time to help. ”
