White walls, white houses.

The Tuyuhun people in white felt clothes had all knelt on both sides of the long street.

He knelt down and bowed his head, his forehead firmly on the ground.

All the Tuyuhun people in the city welcome Li Xuan's arrival.

Li Xuan rode through the crowd.

Li Zhu guarded the side, looking at everyone vigilantly, lest someone suddenly jump up and assassinate Li Xuan.

But these Tuyuhun people only knew how to bow their heads stiffly, and they didn't dare to look up at all.

The subtle sound of chanting kept coming from the mouths of these Tuyuhun people.

At first, I couldn't hear anything at the gates, but the further I walked into the city, the more pronounced the sound became.

At the end, it buzzes and makes people feel like they are in a Buddhist temple.

Li Xuan's expression was indifferent, and he didn't even look at it, only Ming Chongyan looked at Yan Tao on the side in some surprise, and asked in a low voice, "What are they reciting?" ”

"I don't know." Yan Tao glanced at Li Xuan in front of him, and saw that Li Xuan didn't look back, so he said in a low voice: "The last general will find someone to ask." ”

Ming Chongyan nodded cautiously.

A moment later, a Tuyuhun nobleman dressed in a white robe and wearing a white felt hat with a pearl inlaid on it was brought up.

"Return to the nobles." The Tuyuhun nobleman raised his head and glanced at Li Xuan in front of him in fear, and then said in a low voice: "We are reciting the Descendant Sutra of the Black-clothed Heavenly King. ”

"What's that?" Ming Chongyan was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help but look up at Li Xuan, who was slowly riding a horse in front of him.

Black clothes and black armor, black war horses.

Ming Chongyan had a feeling that the black-clothed king that the Tubo people were talking about must be referring to Li Xuan.

"The black-clothed Heavenly King descended into the world, and by practicing this mantra, you can go to demonic thoughts, eliminate great suffering, return to the right path, and protect the walkers. Pray for subjugation and the eradication of wicked people, beasts, insects, enemies, etc. It can make the wicked suffer from all kinds of diseases and blood and light disasters, and they will be rewarded with death. Unless the wicked abandon evil and follow good, and then recite the Sutra of the Birth of the King in Black with compassion and forgiveness, they can escape the calamity. ”

After the Tuyuhun nobleman finished speaking, he then knelt down again and bowed down towards Li Xuan.

Li Xuan turned his head indifferently, glanced at Ming Chongyan with heavy pressure in his eyes, and said calmly: "Real person, let's go." ”

"Good!" Ming Chongyan barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and then followed Li Xuan and Yan Tao towards the City Lord's Mansion.

But along the way, Ming Chongyan always kept looking at the Tuyuhun people kneeling beside the road.

Almost all the Tuyuhun people in the entire city ran out, kneeling on the ground and whispering the "Black Heavenly King Descending Sutra".

It's chilling.

However, what really made Ming Chongyan care was the great prestige that "The Descending Scripture of the Black Heavenly King" would bring to Li Xuan.

The people in the Dao Sect know the power of this kind of thing best.

Subconsciously, Ming Chongyan's gaze fell on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan's expression was still indifferent, as if he didn't take these Tuyuhun people on the ground in his eyes at all.

Just calmly and casually moving forward, the long sword at his waist swaying at will.

But Ming Chongyan saw it very clearly, although Li Xuan's hand was swinging back and forth with the reins, it was never more than a foot away from the hilt of the sword, and he could almost draw the sword out of its sheath in an instant.

Killing decisiveness has been thoroughly integrated into his blood.

It is rumored that the king of Nanchang vowed to become the champion of the Tang Dynasty.

Now it seems that there is a real possibility.

Thinking of this, Ming Chongyan's gaze fell on the Tuyuhun people on the ground, and the inexplicable sense of threat in his mind before suddenly disappeared without a trace.

No matter how high the prestige of such a wild land, what threat can it have?

Only the Central Plains is the place that truly ambitious people yearn for.

If Li Xuan can devote more energy to Tuyuhun and not return to Chang'an, it will be of great benefit to Ming Chongyan and Li Dan.

At least it won't do the crown prince any good to the king of England.

That's enough.

……

The castle garrison is a stone building, but it looks like a large tent.

Li Xuan stood at the door, looked at the open gate, and said calmly: "Let the people here return to their own homes, everything is the same as the old thing, drive away all the Tuyuhun soldiers here, let them go to Delingha and Golmud, if they are still willing to come back, let them stay in Delingha and Golmud for three days and then come back." ”

"Whoa!" Yan Tao immediately gave it up, and then turned around and arranged.

Ming Chongyan stood beside Li Xuan and asked in a low voice, "The prince is going to Golmud?" ”

Li Xuan nodded, then stepped out of the way, and calmly arched his hand to Ming Chongyan: "Real person, please come in." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Ming Chongyan smiled and walked past Li Xuan's side.

The large hall is covered with a thick Persian carpet.

At the top of the front, a golden chair sits above, and two rows of chairs below.

Li Xuan glanced at it, then looked at Ming Chongyan and said: "Real person, it will be November in more than half a month, if you can't take Golmud at that time, then you will have to devote some of your energy here next year...... The real person knows that next year will attack the Wuhai. ”

Ming Chongyan nodded with a fixed face, and said: "That's true, as long as you can take Golmud and advance the northern line to the Boundless Cliff, you can make Xitugu Hun Da Yan Mang Jiebo reconsider his position." ”

"It doesn't matter if the rest is taken in Golmud, if you take Golmud, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household will be able to enter the Kunlun Mountain and mine Kunlun jade, and the pressure on the DPRK and China will be reduced a lot." Li Xuan's expression was solemn, taking Golmud was very important to the imperial court, and it must not be delayed.

"Handed over to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households?" Ming Chongyan was subconsciously stunned, and then asked, "Doesn't the prince stay in Golmud?" ”

"No!" Li Xuan smiled and said: "This king is going to Xinghai, and he wants to watch, the battle of Xinghai, but don't break Xinghai." ”

After all, it was Li Xuan's future territory, and he didn't want to become a mess and couldn't clean it up.

The corners of Ming Chongyan's mouth twitched slightly, the emperor wanted Li Xuan to serve as the assassin of Xinzhou, although it was still secret in the court, but many people already knew about it.

The North Gate Fellows are one of those people.

"There is a left phase, not to." Ming Chongyan rolled his eyes and said casually: "Does the prince know what the black-clothed king is?" ”

"Some kind of legend." Li Xuan shook his head very indifferently, there is nothing like the Black Knights in this world.

And even if there is, it is Di Renjie's problem.

If something happens, it's a big deal to transfer Di Renjie over.

"It's not some kind of legend, the black-clothed king refers to Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty, when the confrontation between the Western Wei and the Eastern Wei, there were rumors that 'the one who destroyed the Eastern Wei was also black-clothed', so Yuwentai ordered all the sergeants under his command to change to black.

Later, the hussar general of the Western Wei Dynasty, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ning, went west to Tuyuhun and directly destroyed the capital of Tuyuhun and almost made Tuyuhun annihilate. ”

After a slight pause, Ming Chongyan continued: "Because the clothes Shi Ning is wearing are the black clothes and black armor that Yu Wentai once wore and then gave him, so Yu Wentai has the title of the Black Heavenly King. ”

"Why isn't the black-clothed Heavenly King Shi Ning?" Li Xuan frowned slightly, and subconsciously asked.

"Shi Ning is just a courtier after all." Ming Chongyan glanced at Li Xuan deeply, Li Xuan nodded, and immediately stopped dwelling on this matter.

"What do you mean by a real person, do you want this king to make good use of the name of this black-clothed king?" Li Xuan looked straight at Ming Chongyan and said softly: "Real person, the things of Xituguhun belong to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household after all, and it is inconvenient for this king to interfere." ”

"Dayan Mang's Junction and Murong Nuo's bowl, even if they surrender, they will still pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty in the end, and the prince still has to pay attention." Ming Chongyan said seemingly sincerely.

Li Xuan looked at Ming Chongyan with a smile, and said calmly: "True person, if you can convince Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, this king doesn't mind destroying them all." ”

Ming Chongyan was stunned, and he remembered.

Li Xuan has always had a bad impression of the Tuyuhun people, but in order to contain Li Xuan, the emperor and the Empress Wu decided to stay with Tuyuhun.

Ming Chongyan then smiled bitterly and said: "I originally hoped to help the prince, but it involves the overall situation of the Western Regions, so I ......"

Seeing that Ming Chongyan spread out his hand, Li Xuan nodded, and then asked: "Does the real person know what the situation is in the Western Regions now, but now I have only heard of the turmoil in the Western Turks. ”

"Half of the Eighteen Western Turks are reversed." Ming Chongyan shook his head solemnly and said, "Fortunately, the Duke of Wenxi County is in the Western Regions, and he just calmed the chaos. ”

"I'm afraid the Tibetan people are going to be unlucky, right?" Li Xuan suddenly said, and Ming Chongyan was stunned.

Immediately shaking his head slightly, Ming Chongyan spoke: "Not yet, the Tubo people originally wanted to incite the eighteen Turkic tribes to rebel, but in the end, because of the sudden appearance of Wenxi County Gong, they only succeeded halfway. ”

"Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven have deep foresight, otherwise, the four towns of Anxi will be in danger." Li Xuan took a deep breath, with a fluke on his face.

The Tubo people stirred up the Western Turkic turmoil in the Western Regions, and the purpose was naturally the four towns of Anxi.

Once the four towns of Anxi are out of hand, then the Silk Road will be cut off, and the finances of Datang will be greatly affected, and the offensive against Tibet will also be affected later.

On Qinling let his elder brother Zanxiruo go to the Western Turks a long time ago, he originally planned to make a sudden move when the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was in full swing, but he didn't expect that they did not achieve much in the Qingnan battlefield, and the Tang Dynasty was also very restrained in the strategy of the first battle of Tubo.

Pei Xingjian went to the Western Regions even quietly, and this time, even if the Western Turks suddenly broke out, they were completely blocked by Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian is not easy to mess with, and if he is not careful, he is likely to die directly in the west.

"With Wenxi County Duke in the west, there should be no problem in Dunhuang, right?" Li Xuan looked up at Ming Chongyan and said directly: "I haven't heard of any movement in the Dugu family?" ”

Ming Chongyan shook his head calmly and said, "The people of the Dugu family are nothing more than a group of people who want to covet power, but are not willing to give too much.

Their original plan was to use His Royal Highness King Xiang to lure the Tubo people into the bait, but unfortunately the Tubo people are not so stupid, and the people of the Dugu family dare not really move His Royal Highness the Xiangwang, if something happens to His Royal Highness the Xiangwang, then the Dugu family will be wiped out. ”

"It's the same with the Zhang family." Li Xuan nodded slightly, and said: "Use this king and the entire Taozhou City to drag the Tubo people, and then they secretly arrange for people to take His Royal Highness the King away, they don't earn the merits of battlefield killing, only the merit of speculative rescue." ”

"The greatest credit in the world is to save the driver."

The corners of Ming Chongyan's mouth showed a slight sneer, and said, "If they really dare to do this, Poor Dao will let them see what Daozun's anger is." ”

You still know that you are a Taoist priest!

Li Xuan complained in his heart, although the Ming family is known as a Taoist, it is just a family inheritance of a Taoist priest at home.

Such a family, if it is prominent, then it is the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain, if the strength is not enough, it is nothing.

"By the way, how is Liang Guogong's health, it's not a big deal, right?" Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn.

The position of the Left Guard General Qi Bi He Li is not comparable to the power and goodness.

Ming Chongyan shook his head and said calmly: "The old injury in the early years is fine. ”

Nonsense.

Li Xuan knew in his heart that this was still related to the position of the general of the left guard.

Once something happens to Qi Bi He Li, I don't know how many people want to ask for the position of General Zuowei, after all, Zuowei is the strongest of the sixteen guards.

"I hope Liang Guogong can recover soon." After a slight pause, Li Xuan turned around and asked, "By the way, when will His Royal Highness King Xiang return to Chang'an, and he will get married on the eighth day of December." ”

"I don't know, at least I have to wait for Xituguhun to stabilize." Ming Chongyan suddenly frowned, not knowing what he thought.
