Chang'an City, the British government.

Xu Yanbo stood in front of the Guogong Mansion and cleaned up his clothes, and handed his name to the porter according to the number of courtesies.

After the trilogy was spread, it didn't take long for the housekeeper Wu Tong to come out, and after seeing the ceremony, he led Xu Yanbo to the side hall of the Guogong Mansion.

In the side hall, Cui Jie was checking the words that Buck'er practiced today, and pointed out from time to time that Buck's writing was inappropriate, and Buck's obediently rewrote it a few times, and Cui Jie nodded in approval with satisfaction.

Cui Jie is from a family, and her knowledge of scripture and righteousness is not bad, and her handwriting can be called everyone, but she doesn't know anything about the physics and chemistry taught by Li Qinzai.

In the days when Li Qinzai left home as an envoy, Cui Jie did not dare to waste Qiao'er's knowledge, so she had to teach the scriptures and calligraphy that she was good at.

Fortunately, Buck'er is quite obedient, although she has done some mischievous and naughty things in the Guogong Mansion these days, but in general she is still very easy to discipline, and her great-grandfather Li Tao also loves Buckwheat.

In the past few days since Li Qinzai left home, the relationship between Li Tao and Buck'er has heated up, and I don't know if it is because of the fact that they are married two generations apart, Li Tao has never had a good face for Li Qinzai, but he has responded to Buck'er's needs.

No matter how unreasonable and naïve Buck's request was, Li Tao did not hesitate to meet it.

Even when Buckwheat accidentally uprooted the newly planted peony outside his study, Li Tao only trembled a few times in distress, but he didn't blame Buck'er.

This is not just love, it is simply doting.

Cui Jie wanted to speak several times and stopped, but she didn't dare to criticize the elders, so she had to keep silent, anyway, when Li Qinzai came back, everything would be back to normal.

With the last stroke of the pen, Buckwheat put down the brush, and suddenly sighed with a sad face: "Auntie, my father has been gone for more than two months, why hasn't he come back?" ”

Cui Jie also sighed lightly, but still said gently: "Your father sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to the vassal country, and he did a big thing, and he will come back when he finishes it, so you wait a few more days." ”

Buckwheat blinked and said, "Shall we go find him?" I miss my dad. ”

Cui Jie was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't mess around, Tubo and Tuyuhun are fighting hard, I don't know how dangerous it is, if we go, it will be a burden to your father." ”

Buckwheat was about to say something, when Steward Wu's voice came from outside the door.

"Young lady, Xu Yanbo, the grandson of Prime Minister Xu, is here."

When Cui Jie heard this, she immediately took Qiao'er to get up and walked to the screen in the side hall, and said, "Please Xu Shaolangjun come in." ”

Xu Yanbo walked into the side hall, saw the figure flashing behind the screen, and didn't dare to look up, so he saluted the screen and said, "Your Majesty Xu Yanbo, please meet Mrs. Li." ”

Cui Jie's voice came from behind the screen, and said: "Xu Shaolangjun forgives his sins, it is inconvenient for the women to see outsiders, and it is really helpless to see each other across the screen, Shaolangjun is not strange." ”

Xu Yanbo didn't mind at all, although the Tang Dynasty said that the people were open, the powerful families were still relatively conservative, and the female dependents were still inconvenient to see foreign guests, usually through the screen or curtain, which was also the customary rule of the powerful people.

"Inviting Xu Shaolangjun to come over to the house today, it is really a matter of entrusting you."

Xu Yanbo hurriedly said: "Mrs. Li is polite, Brother Jing Chu and the lower officials have a very strong brotherhood, if the lady has an order, the lower officials will never refuse." ”

"My husband has been sent as an envoy for more than two months, if it is cold today, the bitter cold land of the Western Regions, the property is barren, I am really worried that my husband will starve and freeze in Liangzhou City......"

"In the past few days, I have personally sewed some leather robes and clothes, as well as some exquisite food in Chang'an, I heard that the Xu family caravan traveled to the Western Regions, and my husband sold ice, if you stop by the way, please also ask Xu Shaolang Jun to bring these things to my husband."

Xu Yanbo said with a smile: "Little thing, Mrs. Li rest assured, it just so happens that this month, the Xu family caravan came to Chang'an to deliver the liquidation, and in two days it will set off for the Western Regions, Liangzhou City is a must-pass place, and the things that Mrs. Li carryed, my caravan must be sent to Brother Jing Chu." ”

Cui Jie thanked her behind the screen, and then asked: "I don't know if my husband is safe in Liangzhou City, where the war is endless, it must be a beacon fire, if the husband needs help, please also ask the Xu family caravan to help generously, and the husband will be grateful after returning." ”

Xu Yanbo said with a straight face: "Mrs. Li rest assured, Brother Jing Chu is an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, whether as a courtier or a brother of the Tang Dynasty, in public or private, the subordinate officials will order the caravan to help." ”

After bidding farewell to Cui Jie, Xu Yanbo walked out of the Guogong Mansion and was just about to gather a caravan to discuss going to the Western Regions, when a subordinate hurriedly came to report.

The county lord of Jinxiang is invited.

Xu Yanbo was stunned, of course he knew the county lord of Jinxiang, but he didn't talk about friendship over the years, and even had very few intersections, and he had almost never met.

Everyone is not familiar with each other, why do you want to see yourself for no reason?

An hour later, Xu Yanbo walked out of the pavilion of the county lord of Jinxiang, looked at the bleak Chang'an street scene with a confused face, and did not move for a long time.

Brother Jing Chu...... Real men too.

He ...... with the county lord of Jinxiang Tsk, when did it happen? Why is there no rumor at all in Chang'an City?

Awesome my brother.

Like Cui Jie's request, the county lord of Jinxiang also entrusted a large number of properties and asked the Xu family caravan to bring them to Li Qinzai.

From leather robes to big coats, from meat to snacks, there is a wide range of everything.

Xu Yanbo silently calculated the weight, and then found out that his caravan from Chang'an to the Western Regions this time was only carried by Cui Jie and the county lord of Jinxiang, which accounted for half of the caravan's burden.

The two eldest sisters, they show affection to Lang Jun, why should I run at a loss.

Standing in silence on the street for a long time, Xu Yanbo sighed faintly.

"Come, tell the caravan that this trip to the Western Regions will add fifty camels. In addition, the caravan was supplemented by 200 escorts. ”

…………

Liangzhou City.

The envoys of Princess Honghua and Non Zhongcong had left, and the hall was suddenly empty.

The two envoys left with only a few retinues, and as for the hundreds of members of the mission, when it was late at night and the samurai of the mission had not returned, Princess Honghua and Non Zhongcong knew that the samurai sent out were more than lucky.

With Li Qinzai's character, of course, he would not be merciful to the samurai who set up an ambush to kill him, and the samurai at this time have probably become interesting souls, lining up in the underworld to drink Meng Po soup.

Li Qinzai strode out of the pavilion, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

Although I was a little frightened tonight, I gained a lot.

forced Princess Honghua to voluntarily give up Tuyuhun, and the Khan and his wife joined the Tang Dynasty, which was the biggest gain.

As for Tubo, although it is a bit difficult for them to voluntarily cede half of Tuyuhun's land, Lu Dongzan is a smart man, and Tubo has been a tired army for a long time to attack Tuyuhun these days.

If the Tang army has raised all the grain and grass, and the king is marching westward, and strongly intervening in the Tuyuhun war, Lu Dongzan will compromise after all as long as he is not stupid, this is the general trend of the country, and only by taking advantage of the situation can he protect his own peace.

In the middle of the night, Liangzhou City was silent, and Li Qinzai stretched a long lazy waist in front of the pavilion and walked to the Thorn Mansion with satisfaction.

On a day full of harvest, you must get enough sleep for eight hours to reward yourself for your hard work.

As soon as he took a few steps, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of the Thorn Mansion in the east of the city.

The movement was very familiar, and Li Qinzai immediately heard it, it was the sound of a three-eyed gun.

Li Qinzai's expression was grim, and he said coldly: "There is an accident in the Assassin Mansion, Sun Congdong, immediately send troops to help!" ”
