Chapter 12: The Dark Tide is Surging and the Killing Opportunity is Appearing!
Wu Zetian bought a new string of sugar gourds and ate them by himself, not mentioning the fact that the sugar gourds had fallen.
As a result, Li Changsheng couldn't help but be suspicious.
[The little queen is not in the right state. 】
[A character I casually made up made her react so much? 】
[She seems to know what's going on in my mind? 】
[You can see how she looks... It's not like that. 】
However, Wu Zetian was possessed by the essence of the play, and the disguise was perfect, and he couldn't see any flaws, Li Changsheng couldn't cut in, and he didn't know where to start.
Thinking about it in the end, Li Changsheng didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings among the martial saints because of a trivial matter, and the emperor himself was seriously suspicious.
He could only secretly calculate in his heart:
[Could it be that she noticed something strange herself? 】
[But then again, she is a human emperor, has the imperial dragon qi by her side, and can understand the changes in the fortune of heaven and earth, it shouldn't be a rare thing, right? 】
[Well, then take her to meet, sooner or later. 】
Wu Zetian took a long breath.
The revival of aura and the three-clan hegemony incident had too much impact on her.
What made her negligent for a moment forget that it was Li Changsheng's voice that said these two things, not Li Changsheng's mouth.
Fortunately, Li Changsheng did not go deep into reverie.
"Little sir, if there is anything you want to eat, I invite you to eat."
In order to hide his weakness, Wu Zetian took the lead in speaking.
"I'm not hungry."
Li Changsheng ate the remaining sugar gourd strings in one bite, wiped the sugar stains on the corners of his mouth, took Wu Zetian's jade hand, and said:
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet my old friend."
"Okay, hee-hee."
Wu Zetian smiled like a flower, and responded to the situation.
Ha
Just what she wants.
…
Border Pass, Jinshan.
As far as the eye can see, it is a monotonous yellow.
The desolate and lonely wind and sand wreak havoc on this land all the time, so barren that it has been abandoned by all the immortals.
Only a few dead trees in the distance add a little bit of vitality to this desert, and the eyes are dilapidated.
As you can imagine, this is the hinterland of the Turkic Khanate.
As Li Changsheng expected, the Turks did not go to war with the Great Zhou to compete for authority, they were really just too poor.
If they want to survive, they must enter the Central Plains!
And it is such a place where birds don't poop and the aborigines try their best to escape, but today, an outsider has come.
The man was dressed in scaly armor and wore a black face, and he was a Han man.
He endured the high temperature, like a fish penetrating in, skillfully avoiding one dark whistle after another, guards, so fast and extraordinarily powerful.
With his skills, he made his way unhindered, diving into the deepest depths, stopping in front of a jade-encrusted tent, which was the royal tent of the Turkic khans.
"Stop!"
Seeing that a Han man suddenly appeared in front of him, the face of the guard changed suddenly.
He didn't have time to think about it, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist, the side of the knife holder on his neck, and said sharply:
"Before the Khan's tent, it is forbidden to pass, who are you? Register your name. ”
The Han ignored the soldiers, raised their hands, and shouted into the tent:
"Shibi Khan, is this how you entertain old friends?"
In the king's tent, there was silence for a moment.
It seems that in the unexpected sound of the arrival of the owner.
The Han people laughed but did not speak.
A moment later, a deep male voice came from inside the military tent:
"Let him in."
"Yes, Khan."
The soldiers collected their swords, and the Han people entered the military tent.
There were three people in the tent.
The first person wears a felt hat with a feather on it, his face is a foot wide, his face is red, his eyes are like glass, and he is not angry and arrogant.
"Shibi Khan, long time no see."
The Han man smiled and bowed to the first man, revealing his identity.
"Go down first."
The khan waved his hand at the other two men dressed as servants, and they retreated and tightened the curtain of the king's tent.
There were no idlers in the tent, and Shibi Khan revealed his true feelings, stared at the black-faced man in front of him with a shocked face, and asked:
"General Lou?"
"Haha, yes, it's the general."
The Han people laughed heartily and tore off their black faces.
Under the face, he is actually the general of the Great Zhou, Lou Shide!
"How did you manage to sneak into my tent without a word?"
Shibi Khan asked in surprise.
"It's just a bit of a chance."
Lou Shide said with a smile.
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to reveal the matter of his own system to Shibi Khan, which is a secret that only he can know.
Shibi Khan was restless, and his tastes were mixed.
Lou Shide could easily sneak into the king's tent without being detected by the sentry, and even if he hadn't taken the initiative to expose it, he wouldn't have known that he was coming.
If Lou Shide wanted to assassinate him, wouldn't it be easy?
Although he was uneasy, he was a Turkic Khan, and after a short period of surprise, his expression returned to calm and asked:
"Why did you enter my army tent single-handedly?"
"I want to talk to Khan about a cooperation."
Lou Shide said with his hands behind his back.
"What cooperation?"
Shibi Khan asked.
"Cooperate, kill individuals."
"Oh?"
Shibi Khan was slightly stunned:
"General Lou's martial arts are outstanding, and there are people that General Lou can't kill?"
"It wouldn't have been possible to do it yourself."
Lou Shide sighed helplessly.
Li Changsheng always had Wu Zetian by his side, and he couldn't touch him.
He had already learned from the mouth of the system that the imperial dragon qi could suppress the monks in the world.
This is the blessing and gift of Heaven to the mortal emperor, in order to prevent the world's capable people from secretly killing the emperor and causing riots.
Now that he has a first glimpse of the Immortal Dao, he can't start.
If a monk wanted to assassinate the emperor, there was only one way:
Instigate war, plunge the world into chaos, conquer cities, and gradually reduce the fortunes of the country, and only when the fortunes of the country are exhausted can we start.
The world only teaches monks to be free, but no one knows...
Cultivation also requires ten thousand dynasties.
"Is that so..."
Shibi Khan tapped on the table and asked:
"Who does the general want to kill?"
"The new regent of the Great Zhou."
Lou Shide's eyes revealed murderous intent, word by word, and said:
"Li Changsheng!"
"Him?"
Hearing this, Shibi Khan was stunned again:
"Didn't you say that he was just the male favorite of the Great Zhou Emperor?"
"If it's just a male pet, why would you have to make a big fuss?"
Recalling a few days ago, when Li Changsheng killed Zhao Laifu in Luoyang Ziwei Palace, Lou Shide's eyes froze.
At that moment, he knew that Li Changsheng was by no means an ordinary person:
"You have all been deceived by its appearance, this person is very hidden."
"Really?"
Shibi Khan raised his eyelids lightly and asked:
"Tell me, what kind of cooperation method?"
He didn't ask Li Changsheng's heels.
It was a struggle within their Great Zhou Dynasty, and he was not interested in knowing.
"It's not hard."
Lou Shide suddenly blushed, rubbed his hands, and said:
"I want to borrow 10,000 taels of silver from the Khan."
Borrowing money is a good idea.
The monk's wealth and the land of the law, he took possession of the law.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had just opened the country, and the treasury was empty, which reduced the salaries of officials.
Rao is the official position of a frontier general, and he only earns 100 taels of silver a year, and he can save 10,000 taels without eating or drinking for a hundred years.
"Borrow money?"
Shibi Khan looked embarrassed and asked:
"10,000 taels is not a small amount, why did the general borrow so much money?"
Although the Turkic Khanate was the leader of the nomadic peoples, it was not so wealthy.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to rebel with their heads raised.
"The Lord Regent and His Majesty are out of the palace."
Lou Shide's eyes were gloomy, and he said:
"Therefore, one thousand one hundred and eleven taels of silver may kill someone."
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
Lou Shide patiently explained:
"Eleven taels of silver to the rivers and lakes, find a grass coward, and throw bricks to attract jade."
"One hundred taels of silver for the dark hall, find a killer, and buy a murderer."
"One thousand taels of silver to Keqing, borrow a knife to kill someone, and hide behind."
"The remaining 10,000 taels is a killer move."
Lou Shide paused for a moment and said:
"Ben will know that there is an offering hall in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people who worship are all masters in the rivers and lakes, and they only earn fifty taels a year."
"10,000 taels of silver, you can buy a few offerings, and when Li Changsheng returns to Ziwei Palace, he will relax his vigilance, and they will take it by surprise."
Interlocking, killing moves layer after layer.
Ren Li Changsheng is clever, and he can't escape!
"Good strategy! Ruthless enough! ”
After listening, Shibi Khan exclaimed:
"After this plan, my impression of General Lou has changed greatly."
He always thought that Lou Shide was a fair and upright person.
I never thought that this person could come up with such a despicable plan.
The person who puts the open gun is not terrible, but the dark arrow is terrifying!
"Killing kills people, where do you get so much integrity?"
Lou Shide snorted lightly and said:
"Ben Jiang never prides himself on being high, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, which is the law of survival of Ben Jiang, why don't you do it?"
"What else do I need to do besides borrowing money?"
Shibi Khan asked again:
"If I agree to cooperate, what will I gain?"
If he was just borrowing money, Lou Shide didn't need to look for him.
There are many rich people in Da Zhou.
"The Khan is happy, and the general will not hide it."
Lou Shide clenched his fists, arched his hand, and said:
"After killing the regent, Ben will need to clear up the relationship, so during this period, the Khan will have to play a dragon and tiger fight with Ben."
"After the deed is completed, our army can retreat to the Hexi Corridor, but whether you can take Yongzhou and Liangzhou depends on your own ability."
"What?"
Shibi Khan Jiao's face was moved, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Lou Shide is actually willing to retreat in defeat?
How is this different from treason?
This is equivalent to giving Yongzhou and Liangzhou to them Turks.
Lou Shide's 50,000 army withdrew, leaving one Li Jinxing, a mere 300,000 army, what to fight with the Turkic iron cavalry?
"What is the grudge between the general and the regent?"
Shibi Khan asked curiously:
"In order to kill him, is it worth it for the general to do this?"
"This is a private matter of the general, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the Khan, right?"
Seeing Shibi Khan's scruples, Lou Shide secretly laughed contemptuously, and fed him a reassuring pill:
"If the Khan is not at ease, he can sign an agreement with the Khan, and if he fails to keep his promise, the Khan can send this agreement to the Central Plains, and someone will punish the general at that time."
Shibi Khan Jiao's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Lou Shide for a while.
Suddenly, laughing:
"Hahaha, General Lou is my friend, my friend is in trouble, how can I not help?"
After laughing, he stretched out his hand:
"Deal!"
Secretly scolding hypocrisy, Lou Shide also stretched out his hand with a smile.
The two hands with their own ghosts shook together.
If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!
