Night is falling.

The lanterns spread along the river with the smoke waves.

Today's Chang'an City is a different kind of liveliness, it is said that Hebei Province finally fell from the sky, and the first cavalry collision between the Western Expeditionary Army and the Western Turks won a great victory.

Zhao Wujiang and his entourage walked all the way from Guangdefang and Yankangfang to the east of Chang'an City.

He stretched out his right hand and grabbed it, and the whole person looked good.

Xiao Miao Miao chased Wang Xi and wanted to snatch the long knife in her hand, Wang Xi raised the long knife flat, Xiao Miao Miao couldn't reach it no matter how she jumped, and she jumped around with a bitter little face.

"Got something on your mind?" Wang Yanning pulled Zhao Wujiang's sleeve robe, she was wearing a three-color mask today, and the group was also wearing a mask to participate in tonight's lantern festival.

On weekdays, he is not allowed to leave the mansion, but now with the lantern festival, Wang Yanning can also go out to see the prosperity of Chang'an.

"It's not a matter of heart, Silla asks for help, the Tang Silla coalition army, I may have to participate in the war and go to Silla." Zhao Wujiang smiled, not much serious.

"Is it going to be a long time?" Wang Yanning suddenly looked dazed.

"Who can say for sure about the war, don't worry, it's just a war between small countries, and the Tang Dynasty will participate in it, and there will be a result soon." Zhao Wujiang looked at Xiao Miaomiao, who came to ask for help, and said with a smile.

He didn't tell Wang Yanning that it was a war of small countries, but it was a war involving four small countries, Goguryeo, Baekje Silla, and Little Japan.

"Miao Miao is also your senior sister, why don't you help her?" Zhao Wujiang pushed Wang Yanning.

"Hmph, I'm her sister!" Wang Yanning snorted, picked up Xiao Miaomiao, who had come to ask for help, and walked towards Wang Xi.

Zhao Wujiang watched them not far away, and his thoughts flew in his heart.

This time, the eldest grandson Wuji recommended Zhao Wujiang to Silla, which was unexpected.

The reason for this is that Zhao Wujiang himself understands that he has been too powerful recently, and he has been in the limelight for a while, which makes this head of a hundred officials a little breathless.

It just so happened that the incident in Hebei Province made the eldest grandson Wuji see the inspiration, that is, to send him out to do things and not let him be contaminated with the affairs of the court.

But as Zhao Wujiang said to Wu Meiniang, it is not a bad thing to hide his edge for the time being.

Now that the situation in the dynasty is turbulent, the eldest grandson Wuji is fighting for power, Xu Jingzong is also gaining momentum, and there are forces in the undercurrent, it is also a wise move for Zhao Wujiang to retreat bravely.

He can also compete with the eldest grandson Wuji and others, and if he wants to fight, the courtiers must be willing to follow.

But this is contrary to his original intention, in his opinion, hundreds of officials can fight for power for the people, but not for power, so that the internal friction will intensify, which will only increase the decline of the Tang Dynasty.

"If you fight, let you fight well." Zhao Wujiang muttered softly.

If he goes to Silla, it will inevitably be dangerous, whether it is the eldest grandson Wuji or Xu Jingzong, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and will play tricks to persecute him in the war, which Zhao Wujiang knows very well.

Even, persecuting himself will be a bargaining chip for the eldest grandson Wuji and Xu Jingzong to hinder each other, or this is the countermeasure that the two discussed to join forces to deal with him Zhao Wujiang. @

Wearing a strong suit and a short knife hidden in his sleeve, he is the prince's personal bodyguard.

"You two don't have to be so nervous, this is Tang Chang'an, not my Silla, no one harms me." The third prince, Chen Shangyi, shook the flower fan lightly, smiling, and kept looking at the Tang Dynasty women who came to see the lanterns.

"The old slave doesn't dare to slack off, the safety of His Highness is too important!"

"Didn't that Honglu Siqing say, in Chang'an City, as long as the palace doesn't provoke those few people, the rest, he Honglu Siqing will settle it out, let me eat and have fun."

The third prince squeezed into the crowd, and his eyes suddenly lit up, not because of the lanterns, but because there were so many girls in the Tang Dynasty and Yanyan.

The two servants were helpless, but they still followed the three princes closely, and their expressions remained tense all the time.

The third prince, Chen Shang Yihe, suddenly stopped, pointed to one person in the crowd, and was short of breath:

"Did you two see the woman in the white dress with the mask over there?

Although she wears a mask, but this graceful posture and graceful temperament is the best among people at a glance, have you seen her long knife, at first glance, it is the so-called people in the rivers and lakes of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of woman is the most tasteful.

You two are optimistic, this palace will let you see what it means to return with beauty like a bag of things!"

Chen Shangyi slowly walked towards Wang Xi in the crowd, he was graceful, patted the folding fan, he had already thought of the wording of the conversation in his mind, these words have helped him win many Tang women since he came to Chang'an.

He approached Wang Xi, Wang Xi looked sideways, his eyes were cold, he didn't realize it, and his heart was hot.

"This young lady, I'm ....."

"Get out!" Wang Xi held the long knife in his arms and snorted coldly, causing passers-by to look sideways.

Chen Shang's face twitched, but he still had a warm smile, he knew that there were many cold-faced and hot-hearted women, as long as he held on a little longer...

He coughed again, and on the side of his waist, he deliberately exposed the waist card given by Li Zhi, the waist card flashed with golden light under the lamplight, he carried it with one hand, and said loudly: "I don't hide it..."

Wang Xi looked at Chen Shangyihe like a fool, "I said get out!"

With that, he turned around and walked towards Zhao Wujiang and the others who were slow.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Shangyi's eyes, he laughed dryly, and said coldly, "Chen Shanghu, Chen Shangbao!"

The two servants tapped their toes, quickly crossed in front of Wang Xi, and stopped Wang Xi's way: "This young lady, please give my son-in-law some face!" Otherwise..."

There is a threat in the words.

Wang Xi pulled out the long knife, her pretty face was as cold as ice, since she felt that Zhao Wujiang didn't seem to remember her, she had always suppressed a fire in her heart, and now she encountered an annoying fly, and the anger in her heart suddenly surged.

"Wow." The long knife reflected the light, was put back into the scabbard, and a big hand pressed Wang Xi's hand.

She looked angrily at Zhao Wujiang wearing a pig's head mask.

"I'll come." Zhao Wujiang said softly.

Wang Xi's expression softened for a moment, and he quickly raised his eyebrows: "Stay where it's cool!"

"You've been cold-faced today, of course it's because you're cool." Zhao Wujiang grinned.

Wang Xi snorted coldly, Zhao Wujiang under the pig's head mask was a different kind of hate.

"Xi'er, what's wrong?" Wang Yanning walked over quickly and asked with concern.

Chen Shangyi saw that Wang Xi ignored him and talked to several people.

Especially in the face of the man with the mask, although he showed coldness and resistance, he completely understood that this was more like a woman who was angry and jealous and had a sour heart in the face of Ruyi Langjun.

His heart was twisted, and anger rose, "Chen Shanghu, Chen Shangbao, why are you stunned? Take it for Ben Gongzi!"
