At the beginning of the third year of Zhenguan, when the sun was still coming in early spring, Li Kuan followed Tang Jian and took the delegation on the road to Dingxiang.

The snow was still flying, and Li Kuan was sitting on a sleigh, wrapped in a bearskin coat and a woolen blanket under his buttocks.

The guards and the Jianghu guards brought by Fang Ping were all on horseback to guard the side.

Li Kuan stretched out his hand to catch the snow falling from the sky, exhaled lightly, leaned on Fang Yu, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, it was too boring.

On a snowy and barren day, why did he, an eleven-year-old young man, go to the Turks.

Oh, think about the reason or blame him, who let the bank buy the country plan The original template was he who proposed it, and he needed to do some handover in person.

When they arrived at the expected location, the guards took out their tents and set up camp, and Li Kuan and Tang Jian got into the tent as soon as it was set up.

The guards cook outside.

A wolf howl suddenly sounded, which made Li Kuan wake up instantly, he thought of the scene of the wolves traveling in the book of his previous life, and he was slightly scared, Fang Yu next to him had already picked up the sword in the tent and was ready for battle.

But after a while, the screams of wolves were heard.

Li Kuan couldn't help but poke his head out and found that the guards and knights were all standing in the wind and snow with a crossbow machine in one hand and an iron sword in the other, and in the snow not far away, several wolf corpses were lying there.

Li Kuan couldn't help but exclaim, he was worthy of being a protector who could enter the envoy corps, and his combat effectiveness was strong.

Tang Jian in the tent on the other side also poked his head out, saw Li Kuan, smiled, walked out directly, and beckoned to Li Kuan.

After hesitating, Li Kuan also walked out, and at this time, the guards and knights rewound the crossbow machine and went to pick up the wolf corpse.

Tang Jian said with a smile: "It's really good, it is an elegant thing to be able to eat boiled wolf meat here today." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants to have a drink with the old man."

"It's just the scene of the snow flying."

Well, Li Kuan felt that Tang Jian was really sick and wanted to drink.

Not long after, the guards who had gone out to investigate returned, and found a cave not far ahead, which was more suitable for camping.

Tang Jian did not hesitate and directly chose to move to the camp.

When they came to the cave, the guards first carried the accompanying materials to the innermost part of the cave, and the tents that were originally used to camp were piled up at the entrance of the cave to block the wind and snow.

"Tang Ren, heat up some of the wine I brought, and then set up a simple table for me at the door later, I want to have a drink with the King of Chu in the heavy snow."

Tang Jian instructed before entering the cave.

Tang Ren responded directly.

Li Kuan was speechless, he just wanted to rest.

Leaning against the tent and sitting at the door of the cave, Li Kuan wrapped himself in a bearskin coat and looked at the snow in a gloomy mood.

Without a stable environment, even if it is beautiful and snowy, it will not be able to stimulate emotions.

Inside the cave, the guards were already lighting a fire and cooking hot food.

Li Kuan glanced at it and found that it was very simple, a pot, add snow, and after the snow melted into water, he threw the wolf meat that had been cut into small pieces and cooked it frantically.

After looking at it twice, Li Kuan stopped looking at it and continued to look at the snow.

Before he could see it for long, with a pop, Tang Jian sat next to Li Kuan and handed Li Kuan a paper bag.

Li Kuan was not polite, took it, opened it, and was stunned, it turned out to be toffee.

"Eat, my little grandson eats his teeth and eats secretly, you should love to eat too."

Tang Jian said with a smile.

Li Kuan put it in his mouth and held it, and the sweetness entered his brain along the taste buds, making the depression in Li Kuan's heart less reducing.

Behind them, Tang Ren and Fang Fangyu had already blocked the others, leaving a place for the two to get along.

After a while, a guard brought over the food for Li Kuan and Tang Jian.

It was said that it was a meal, just a big bowl of broth with wolf meat, two dry steamed buns, and warm wine from Tang Jianrang.

As for the separate aristocratic stove, which makes two dishes alone, that is not at all.

Holding the hot broth, Li Kuan threw all the steamed buns into it, soaked them softly, and ate them little by little.

Tang Jian also behaved in a similar way.

After eating a bite of wolf meat, it was a little fishy, the taste was a little light, and there was less salt, Tang Jian frowned, sighed, and said: "Tang Ren, give everyone some of the fruit wine I brought privately, and then divide the rest of the sugar." ”

Tang Ren did not hesitate and went down to execute.

Li Kuan didn't understand why Tang Jian ate the broth.

Facing Li Kuan's puzzled eyes, Tang Jian explained with a smile: "This broth, there is less salt, and the mentality of the guards has begun to have problems, and there is pressure and needs to be relieved." ”

Well, Li Kuan didn't understand, but he was quite shocked, you can analyze that there is something wrong with the mentality of the guards from the broth is light, is it a bit too awesome.

Tang Jian looked at the heavy snow and said softly: "If you have ever fought a war, you will know that when the pressure on a soldier is too great, he will subconsciously hide something for himself, so that he can feel at ease, salt, sugar, is often their favorite to hide." ”

"The salt we brought is definitely enough to eat, but now the broth is weak, which proves that there are soldiers hiding salt."

Li Kuan expressed his admiration, this is really amazing.

However, Li Kuan asked curiously, "Don't you dispose of them?" ”

Tang Jian shook his head and chuckled: "I will only find a way to comfort them, this is traveling, it is better to drive less high-pressure policies if you can drive less." ”

After speaking, Tang Jian handed the wine bag to Li Kuan and motioned for him to drink some.

Li Kuan refused, he didn't like to drink, although he had several wineries under his name.

Tang Jian couldn't help laughing when he saw his firm refusal, which made Li Kuan wonder what to laugh at.

Tang Jian shook his head, didn't say anything, just ate the broth, looked at the heavy snow, and was silent for a long time, after the broth was eaten, when Li Kuan was about to enter the cave to rest, Tang Jian spoke.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, do you know why His Majesty wants you to send an envoy to the Turks?"

Li Kuan was stunned, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart, there was really something hidden.

"Prince, your feet are sloping."

Li Kuan only felt a cold air rushing up to his brain from the soles of his feet, making him speechless.

Tang Jian drank all the wine in the wine bag in one gulp, and said in a deep voice: "On the New Year, the prince rode a horse, and the horse was frightened, and the prince was thrown off and sloped. ”

"Although the news is hidden, I still know that the horse was frightened."

Li Kuan swallowed and foamed, his pupils full of fear.

There is no news from the chamberlain system.

Wei Zheng, no news.

Lee Hyo-gong, no news.

Lehi, no news.

Of all the channels where he could send news, no one had a message.

What this proves is self-evident.

None of those people dared to send him news.

Tang Jian took out a full wine bag again, handed it to Li Kuan, and said softly, "Take a sip." ”

Li Kuan took it this time and took a big sip.

The stimulating smell of alcohol made Li Kuan's brain clearer.

With a wry smile, Li Kuan said helplessly: "I said I don't know at all, if you don't say it, I don't know this news, is it a bit fake." ”

Tang Jian shook his head and said softly: "It's true, because no one dares to spread it." ”

"If the border can know the news, then it can only be said that who knows, who is suspicious."

Li Kuan was a little decadent, he never expected that Li Chengqian was still on the slope.

And it was just when he proposed that it would be beneficial to the development of the country.

He's easy to be suspicious.

"In Chang'an City, except for Wei Wangtai, the rest of the princes, one is counted as one, and they have all been driven away."

"The border generals have collectively changed their guards."

Li Kuan was not surprised by Tang Jian's words, this was normal.
