The candlelight is clear, and the house is cold.

Li Xuan sat on the side of the round table and drank tea calmly.

There was a noisy sound in the next courtyard, Li Xuan didn't look up, just waited quietly.

Finally, the familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.

Queen Subi, dressed in a purple skirt, had already appeared in front of the door, her face calm and her eyes indifferent.

"Why did Madame just let one person be arrested?" Li Xuan raised his head, his eyes were cold and fierce, and he seemed to look directly into the bottom of Queen Subi's heart.

"That person is the captain of the secret guard, the boss of the concubine, and the person who monitors the concubine." Queen Subi walked into the room, stood opposite Li Xuan, and leaned over slightly.

The strange taste of Guli in her previous voice completely disappeared at this moment, and only a mouthful of northwest accents.

"Boss." Li Xuan pondered these two words in his mouth, and he could see that his words just now had stirred the deepest string in Queen Subi's heart.

This is certainly not freedom, but desire.

The desire to take control of power.

……

Li Xuan's deep gaze crossed Queen Subi, looked at the night sky in the distance, and said softly: "Tonight, Wang Shilang has led the guards of Luo Dao to the town to arrest people related to Tubo and the Qinling Tomb, and a suspicious person was also found beside the lady, who raided the guards and then was besieged and killed. ”

Queen Subi was silent, and then smiled: "The concubine still thought that the prince wanted the concubine to kill people with her own hands, and she would be relieved after offering her name." ”

"It seems that the secret guards have studied this king thoroughly enough." Li Xuan looked to the side, reached out to hold the white porcelain teacup, and rotated it slightly.

"The prince has always liked to punish the heart, and the people in the secret guard once said that the prince should be allowed to preside over the secret guard." Queen Subi looked up at Li Xuan with a deep gaze.

Li Xuan has done this kind of thing more than once, especially when he was in Wuzhou.

After arriving in the northwest, this method was used less, and the most recent time was "The Great Tang Dynasty Tubo Wen".

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked deeply at Queen Subi: "It seems that you have been in the secret guard for longer than this king expected. ”

"Not long after, the secret guard was looking for the descendants of Queen Subi in Monan the year before last, but unfortunately, the descendants of Queen Subi were dead, and the concubine happened to know the queen's descendants, so the secret guard commander Wang Yinke brought the concubine back to Chang'an, and after only two months of training, she was sent to Subi." Queen Subi told her story of her origins.

Wang Hermit is another new name.

After Qiu Shenqi, Ming Chongyan, Yuan Wanqing, and Su Lianghei, another deputy commander of the secret guard emerged.

Of course, there is also Zhao Gong, but he is Li Xuan's uncle and will never target Li Xuan.

The other Qiu Shenqi and Ming Chongyan had all died in the hands of Li Xuan.

Yuan Wanqing was stripped of his duties as a secret guard, and Su Liangsi was easily drawn into his camp by Li Xuan.

Su Liangsi has invested too much energy in the East Palace now, and once Li Xian is deposed, Su Liangsi will also be greatly hit.

Therefore, if something happens to Li Xian, Su Liangsi will inevitably resist.

Now that another Wang hermit has emerged, Li Xuan doesn't know how many poor talents the Empress Wu has gathered among the secret guards.

Retracting his thoughts, Li Xuan looked at Queen Subi, nodded lightly, and said, "I can see that they arranged you like this, and it was not for this king at the beginning." ”

"Forget it, at that time, the commander of the secret guard said, anyway, the descendants of Queen Subi are dead, just find someone at random, anyway, there is the support of the Tang army, who dares to say that it is not." Queen Subi was horribly calm.

"That's right, Datang said that you are Queen Subi, you are Queen Subi, who said that it is not who is dead." Li Xuan's calm eyes brought out a trace of indescribable domineering.

Queen Subi was silent, then looked at Li Xuan, and blessed her body slightly: "Dare to ask the prince, when did the prince realize that the concubine was not a descendant of Queen Subi?" ”

"Do you remember the half year you spent in the Changzhou Governor's Mansion?" Li Xuan suddenly spoke.

Queen Subi was slightly surprised, that was when she had just arrived in the northwest.

"Remember, at that time, the prince found a lot of local party members, as well as Subi immigrants, to say how cruel Subi has been treated by the Tubo people over the years, and the concubine body was also at that time, and I knew more about Subi's ......" Queen Subi raised her head suddenly and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief: "Does the prince mean that at that time, the prince already knew that the concubine was a fake Queen Subi?" ”

Li Xuan smiled lightly, took a sip of the teacup, and then said: "When you first arrived at the plateau, you were first in Qugou, and you were sick for more than ten days, do you remember?" ”

"Remember, it's a plateau miasma." Queen Subi looked at Li Xuan cautiously.

"If you are really the queen of Subi, the descendants of the Subi people who have lived on the plateau for generations, you will not get the plateau barrier." Li Xuan's words directly pierced the most unacceptable point in Queen Subi's heart, and Li Xuan had already found out that she was not Queen Subi before she even saw it.

"Later, when attacking Qamdo, although you tried your best to behave properly, in fact, you showed flaws in many aspects, and many generals of the Luo Dao noticed that you were wrong, and they just didn't know whether you were just an elected replacement or had another mission." Li Xuan raised her eyes, as if she was smiling.

Queen Subi's face was ugly for a moment, and finally she looked at Li Xuan and arched her hand: "It's another task." ”

"Sit down." Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "I think your task should be to get close to this king and explore everything about this king." ”

"Yes!" Queen Subi sat down, then bowed slightly, and said, "Also, the prince's strategy of winning all battles?" ”

"Win all battles?" Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and then asked curiously: "When did this king have such a title?" ”

"The prince has never been defeated since he joined the ranks, and the secret guards have always wanted to explore the roots." Queen Subi looked at Li Xuan deeply.

Li Xuan's heart couldn't help jumping, he said that recently, the Empress Wu has been pitiful with few actions against him.

Originally, he thought that it was because of the emperor that Empress Wu had to rein in, but now it seems that Empress Wu's actions are all under the water.

……

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "How can there be any strategy for winning a hundred battles, what this king has is just the soldiers who dare to fight hard, and the armaments and crossbows that surpass the Tubo people, and then it is just a game of the brave who meets on a narrow road." ”

Queen Subi lowered her head and said softly, "There is something that the prince may not know. ”

"You say?" Li Xuan was a little curious.

"Just a month ago, the Duke of Wenxi County and the Turks confronted the grassland and camped late at night, but the Duke of Wenxi County suddenly ordered his soldiers to withdraw from the camp, and even retreated five miles back." Queen Subi raised her head and looked at Li Xuan, and said with an extremely solemn expression: "The Turks pursued overnight, and at this moment, the torrential rain fell suddenly, and the water in the place where the original camp was originally set up was more than a foot deep, and the Turks who pursued and killed immediately fell into the swamp. ”

Li Xuan's body leaned forward slightly, his eyes became sharp in an instant, and he asked directly: "Why is there no such thing in the official document of the court?" ”

"If it's the prince, will you let this matter spread?" Queen Subi immediately asked a rhetorical question.

Li Xuan couldn't help but pause, and then sighed lightly.

"This kind of ability, even if it is not to call for wind and rain, but it is definitely to know the time of the sky and be good at borrowing the time of the sky, I am afraid there are only three people in the court who can do this." Every word that Queen Subi said was top secret in the inner guard.

"Three, which three?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"The three of them, the prince, the county prince of Wenxi, and the county prince of Lecheng." Queen Subi looked at Li Xuan deeply, then shook her head and said: "The secret guard once checked when the prince was in Wuzhou, and the prince had already shown the ability to take advantage of the wind and rain, so the secret guard rejected the possibility that the left minister was teaching the prince." ”

"The guards are telling you to probe these?" Li Xuan's mind turned slightly, and he looked at Queen Subi.

Queen Subi couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, probe this point, get close to the prince, and then monitor the prince." ”

"You?" Li Xuan shook his head a little amusedly, and said, "It's true that you can get close to this king, but if you want to monitor this king, you can only ......."

"Follow the prince to Tubo together." Queen Subi spoke directly.

Everything clicks through, but everything transforms afterward.

"Tibet, Tibet." Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the south of Tanggula Mountain, and then looked at the beautiful Queen Subi, and said softly: "Having said so much, you should understand that once you arrive in Tubo, any news you send to Chang'an must be approved by this king. ”

"The concubine is willing." Queen Subi bowed her head deeply, then raised her head decisively, looked at Li Xuan and said, "The concubine believes in the prince and can bring more things to the concubine than the secret guard." ”

Rights, Queen Subi wants rights.

Compared to being a pawn in the secret guards, who was not even a lieutenant, the identity of Queen Subi brought her more things that were hard to believe.

Even if she is just a little queen of Fanbang, she is much more glorious than the secret guard.

Especially in the future, if she is still in the secret guard, then she will inevitably take off her identity as Queen Subi and return to a dark and unsightly environment.

For a woman who hasn't really tasted the power of the secret guard, this torture will drive her crazy.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Once you succeed in taking Tubo, everything in Tubo will be decided by this king, even if you live in the palace of Tubo, no one will dare to say a word, but if you really want something substantial, then you have to think about it, what can you give this king?" ”

Now the two of them are standing in this room, no matter what happened before and what will happen after, it is just the foundation of trust between the two of them.

If you want to go further and get something substantial, you need to give yourself and give the other party something that is really valuable.

Queen Subi lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then said, "What the concubine can do is to assist the king and prevent the secret invasion of the secret guards. ”

After speaking, Queen Subi took out a copy of this chapter from her sleeve and handed it over, and then said seriously: "The arrangements of the secret guards in Changzhou are all here. ”

Li Xuan was slightly stunned and asked, "How did you get this thing?" ”

"The concubine is also a secret guard." Queen Subi bowed her head.

"Since your boss is dead, then naturally you are temporarily responsible for taking over everything, how should the DPRK reply?"

"Everything is as ordered." At the same time as Queen Subi bowed again, she spoke: "Everything the secret guards in Changzhou, the concubine will be crucified for the king in the future." ”

"Yes."
