Chapter 54: A Detour to the Turks
"Who is coming, His Royal Highness King Shou dares to be so presumptuous? Don't get out of the way yet! With an angry shout, the man was immediately frightened and retreated, until Xiao Tian became a safe person blocking Li Mao and walked to the front, he shouted excitedly, "Xiao Da is the shopkeeper, it's someone Yang!" Hongnong Yang Zhao! Yang has been waiting for His Royal Highness King Shou here for a full day, or did you call Yang from the long cabinet? ”
Yang Guozhong shouted while walking forward cautiously, for fear that a few guards around Li Mao would suddenly make a move, and then kept holding the lantern in his hand to his face, and after Xiao Tiancheng saw it clearly, he also hurriedly turned around and told Li Mao.
"Your Royal Highness, he is a member of the Hongnong Yang clan, called Yang Zhao, a few days ago when his subordinates chatted with him about weaving, he heard that Your Highness is in urgent need of wool raw materials, so he recommended himself that he has a Yang clan who happens to be in the Turkic business of cattle and sheep, maybe he can help."
"Hongnong Yang? It can't be that coincidental! Feed...... Do you know Yang Yuhuan? Li Mao muttered casually and asked Yang Guozhong loudly.
And Yang Guozhong also took a long time before he dared to step forward and answer when he heard Li Mao suddenly ask the name of the little sister in the family: "Back to Your Highness, Yang Yuhuan is Yang's cousin, who is fostered in the third uncle's house in Luoyang at this time, and Fang Ling is only ten years old, dare to ask Your Highness, how did you learn her name!" ”
"How does this king know, you don't have to worry about it, she is a cousin, so do you still have a cousin named Yang Guozhong?"
"This ...... This one...... His Royal Highness King Huishou, the villain is Yang Guozhong, the word is a Zhao, the name of Guozhong is obtained by Zhao himself and the year before last, with the intention of serving the country with loyalty! ”
After Yang Guozhong stumbled to explain this, Li Mao's whole person became a little uncomfortable, so he rushed to the front of the young Yang Guozhong in three or two steps to observe carefully.
"Your own name? Oh, and in history, it seems that your name was also changed by a saint, but I didn't expect to come in such a big circle, and you still came, hehe...... Guozhong is a good name, a good name! Look at your appearance is also very handsome, the seeds of your Yang family are good, handsome men and beautiful women......"
After Li Mao said these words that sounded a little inexplicable to others, he unconsciously patted Yang Guozhong's shoulder, so frightened that he almost stumbled when he didn't stand firm, because at this moment, he didn't understand a word of what Li Mao said to himself.
However, Li Mao's praise of handsomeness, he Yang Guozhong can still understand it to some extent, coupled with Li Mao's subsequent intimate actions, to be honest, Yang Guozhong is really a little scared and regretful at this time, of course, what he is afraid of is not that Li Mao will deal with himself as brutally as Xiao Tiancheng, but that he knows that among the Tang nobles has always been the practice of raising male pets, if he is accidentally taken by His Royal Highness King Shou in front of him?
After thinking of this, he Yang Guozhong hurriedly bowed down at the feet of Li Mao in fright, and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Shou, the villain admired His Royal Highness three years ago, and even swore to serve His Royal Highness on your left and right, and before and after the saddle, he will never give up, and yesterday he met with the long cabinet of Xiao, and learned that His Royal Highness continued to wool, and the villain was not willing to help His Highness......"
"Do you have acquaintances in the Turkic Khanate?" "Yes! There is an eighteen worship of the life and death brothers, although he is a business traveler, but with the Turkic Khanate of the great minister of the country of the Desire Valley has a close personal relationship, the Valley of Desire has always advocated the Tang and Turk two countries to make friends, Viga Khan five years ago on the occasion of the great victory to my Tang Dynasty (please father of the Son of Heaven) is also his advice! ”
"(Father, please do the Son of Heaven) This king seems to have a little impression, Viga Khan, he really used a good hand to keep the light and keep the obscurity! In this way, Datang will no longer have the reason to go to war and revenge, hehe...... It turns out that the key is that there is such a number one person as the Prime Minister of Desire Valley who is planning! Get up! Since you, Yang Guozhong, have a relationship with this king, then stay and be a palace attendant for the time being! Wait for the wool matter to be successful and then reuse it! ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking me in, my subordinates will do their best to ......" Yang Guozhong thanked him again after getting up, but Li Mao didn't say a word except nodding at him, and then led everyone into the state capital.
Three days later, under the urging of Li Xinhe, Li Mao was finally ready to set off for the next stop of Jiannan Road, but this route was too dangerous in Li Xinhe's opinion, although the road was relatively short, but it was too dangerous.
"His Royal Highness King Shou, going north out of the inner road is the boundary of the Turkic Khanate, and you have to take a detour to Tuyuhun, this is ...... How is this, please forgive Your Highness for being unreasonable and not daring to obey! If this matter is known to the saints, it will be difficult to escape the blame for the death of the lower officials, Your Highness......"
"Wang Thorn History, what does the route decided by the king himself have to do with you, you don't have to pull the carriage like a joke, this matter has been decided by the king, and there is no reason to change it! and Li Xinhe are all good things you have done, don't think that you are the attendant of King Ning's father, so this king doesn't dare to do anything, and sue the villain behind his back! ”
was scolded by Li Mao pointing his nose like this, Li Xinhe's legs trembled immediately, but because of his duties, he still stood up straight and refused to let go.
"Your Highness, if you want to be punished, you will be punished, as long as Your Highness does not risk your life, then your heart and you will have no regrets even if you die!" "You ...... Wang Shouyi, you can't let go, this king is sent to Jiannan Road to inspect the border defense this time, if you delay the time because of your obstruction, it is also a big crime, and the sage has a clear edict that this king can't go north to detour? ”
"This ...... This official has never received such a holy edict, but the road to the north is dangerous, and the world knows it, Your Highness! Don't be impulsive about your preferences! Unless ......" "Unless what?" "Unless Your Highness, you promise to let Wang Sishen participate in the generals, and the commander of the army will escort you on your left and right!"
As soon as Li Mao heard Wang Shou say this, he instantly had a big head and two heads, he was going to business talks, not to conquer his Turkic nest, what was the matter with so many troops? And what if the Vigha Khan saw that the army had some preconceived ideas and had some bad ideas? The other party has an army of more than 400,000 people waiting for him, and Wang Shouyi sent 5,000 men and horses, is this damn protecting himself or harming himself! Is it true that he Li Mao is the reincarnation of Wang Xuance?
But thinking about it, seeing that the 5,000 strong team led by Wang Sishen had already surrounded the front and back of the team, what could he do if he didn't agree?
"Okay, you let it go, just do what you say, 5,000 people and horses are brought by the king, but the ugly words are ahead, this matter is not the king and I mobilized the border army without authorization, if you turn back to the imperial history platform because of this impeachment of the king's transgression, then you Wang Shouyi don't want to live alone!"
"Understood, Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan has more than enough to communicate with the military department in the morning for eight hundred miles, and there are also personnel appointed by the Imperial Historical Observatory in the border army to supervise, they must know the cause and effect of this matter! Then the lower official would like to wish Your Highness a smooth journey and a safe arrival in Jiannan! ”
After Wang Shou finished speaking, he immediately unreined and stepped aside, then turned around and quickly climbed into his carriage to escape, as if he was afraid that Li Mao would regret it in the next second.
And Li Mao looked at his distant carriage and had to shake his head helplessly, but when he turned around and was about to return to the carriage, Wang Sishen, who was wearing a suit of armor, immediately rode a horse in front of him.
"This is what my little sister asked someone to give you, don't lose it!" Before Wang Sishen opened his mouth, he raised his hand and threw a colorful purse sewn with gold thread at Li Mao.
Li Mao smiled and took it, and then said, "Cousin Sishen, I have you to protect you when I go to Mobei this time!" I wonder if Miss Luo Luo has any other words to convey to you? ”
"Just said that she will run Taiyuan School well, and I don't know what kind of medicine this dead girl drank from you, she is so shameless, people say that girls are outgoing, and now it seems that what she said is right......"
"Huh...... Cousin Sishen, you won't even drink this king's rice vinegar! But don't worry, cousin, this king won't live up to Silo's wishes! Well, without further ado, let the king ride with you! ”
Li Mao said and waved at the chase again, and then he turned around and quickly found a white sweaty BMW to pull over, and Yang Guozhong, Shuang'er and others saw that Li Mao got out of the car and wanted to ride forward, so they all squeezed to his side.
