The fire in July is gradually getting cooler, Chang'an for several years, to the end of July is often rainy and rainy, so that in the middle of August, the ladies have to give up the half-transparent cicada gauze on their bodies, wear triple clothes to admire the moon, the body is slightly weaker, and even have to add silk cotton in the jacket, this is obviously a vision, but for many years, everyone is accustomed to it, but this year July saw the end, but the night is a little cooler, the day is still bright and bright, the people feel that they are happy.

In the season of flowing fire, in fact, the temperature difference should not suddenly turn into cold, so this year there was such a huge turmoil, but the season returned to normal, as if to confirm that He Zhou's true qi was exhausted, the national capital changed hands, and a new era finally began.

At noon, the golden black light is in full bloom, the cicadas are still in the shade of the trees, a long and a short drumming, Eleven Niang glanced at the window as if there was heat steaming from the ground, in the end, she couldn't stand the layer of skin on her face, asked Binu to make a basin of water, mixed with the elixir prepared by Hu Bo, moistened the hot cotton towel with the cold water, and applied it warmly on the face for a while, you can easily uncover the layer of camouflage, she didn't bother to apply grease and powder on her true face, only thoroughly cleaned her cheeks, and suddenly even breathed a little easier.

Then he said to Binu: "Fourteen Lang just left, this summer day, I don't think there will be any more visitors, there is no need to change my appearance, and let me relax this half a day, save the heat." ”

Before the words fell, I only heard the sound of the secret door opening and closing in the study, Eleven Niang got up and bypassed the screen, and saw Lu Li stepping out of the secret door, and she hurriedly stepped forward: "Sixth brother, has you persuaded Xue Gong?" ”

A natural and elegant face, ten years not only did not leave traces of vicissitudes on it, but added a bit of charming style, at this time slightly up, especially eye-catching eyes, as if just after a light rain, so dark and shiny directly into the eyes, so that the heart is like a breeze, the dust and troubles are swept away, Lu Li but feel like a Bodhi, a clear.

He was brisk, but he didn't respond to the anxious woman, and said inexplicably: "Fifth sister, wait a minute, let me drink the decoction first." ”

At this moment, Lu Li clearly sensed the desire in his heart, he didn't want to let his weak life pass away, he wanted to fight for as long as possible, and accompany the woman in front of him to move forward step by step, how many years they hadn't seen the golden autumn of Chang'an, the suburbs of the city were full of mountains and fields with brilliant yellow flowers, and the red dogwoods, trembling and falling full of green branches, he wanted to continue to accompany her, spend the autumn and winter alternately, usher in the spring flowers, look at her phoenix crown and the mother of the world, watch her long-cherished wish to achieve relief, at that time, maybe for him, can truly have no regrets and say goodbye to the fifth sister.

He will be one step ahead and wait for their next reincarnation, and he hopes that their next life will at least become close friends.

Therefore, Lu Li was obviously tired of the bitterness of the decoction, but at this time, she was willing to eat, because she existed in this world, and she was not left to survive despite her illness.

However, although the heat was still hot, Lu Li felt that his phalanges had been infiltrated by the cold, so that he had to do his best to prevent Shi Niang from seeing the stiffness of his fingers, and many times he almost couldn't help but tremble, as if he didn't live in the same world as the world, he was real, close to the netherworld.

Because they are unwilling, they will be afraid, and the step of life and death, only desperate people can take a step without worry.

However, Lu Li had to suppress such emotions in front of Eleven Niang, he didn't want her to be sad, so he put down the medicine bowl and clenched his hand into a fist and shrunk it in his sleeve.

"The eldest father is reluctant to leave Beijing, and so is Cui Gong, they insist on staying in Chang'an, waiting for His Royal Highness to defeat the Turkic allies, I know that the fifth sister is just in case, so I proposed to let the two elders evacuate first, but the insistence of the two is indeed beneficial to the overall situation, because the fifth sister's overall plan, it still needs Cui and Xue to come forward to call on Zhugui, if the two elders evacuate at this time, it will make Zhugui hesitate, and even if they stay in Chang'an, they don't have to worry about being jealous of Ashina Qisang." Only then did Lu Li respond to Eleven Niang's inquiry.

"I'm worried that Qi Sang's plan will be disadvantageous to the two of them in addition to being annoyed and ashamed." Eleven Niang is still worried.

"This possibility is extremely small, although Cui Gong is the head of His Royal Highness's maternal family, but Taoguang has been obscure for many years, and has faded out of the court for a long time, clearly focusing on self-preservation, and not involving the seizure of domestic power, Qisang and Xie don't even think that they can use Cui Gong to coerce His Royal Highness, and they don't pay much attention to the Jingzhao Cui family, which shows contempt; He also said that the eldest father, although the Xie family is determined that I am the arm of His Highness, he also does not think that His Highness will give up his interests for the relatives and friends of his subordinates, and Jing Zhaoxue is also not worth mentioning in her eyes. Lu Li analyzed: "Qi Sang has ambitions, he is not narrow-minded, even if he loses on the battlefield, most of them will not destroy his reputation and kill the clan to vent his anger, because if he raises the butcher's knife against Cui and Xue, it will definitely inspire more clans to worry about the death of their lips and teeth, which is not conducive to the hegemony." ”

Seeing that Eleven Niang frowned and was silent, Lu Li said again: "If the eldest father and Cui Gong avoid Luoyang, it is undoubtedly clear to Qi Sang that His Royal Highness attaches great importance to Cui and Xue, in this way, it is not enough for the eldest father and Cui Gong to leave, at least the children of the eldest clan cannot be used as hostages by Qi Sang, but once the two clans of the descendants are avoided, the fifth sister has to waste more scheming to call on all the nobles to work together, so that the overall plan is more variable and risky, and the two elders are because they know the care of His Royal Highness and the fifth sister, so they are more unwilling to harm His Royal Highness's plan because of their own safety." ”

Of course, Eleven Niang understood the stakes, and still insisted: "I originally planned that I could let people disguise themselves as two, so that it would not arouse Qisang's suspicions." ”

It is of course unwise to let Cui and Xue Ermen leave Chang'an, but the two relatives are very old, one is He Ye's grandfather, and the other is Lu Li's grandfather, so it is the joint decision of He Ye and Eleven Niang to let them go to safety.

"Even so, there is still a risk of exposure, so the two elders can't agree, the two insist, success or failure in one fell swoop, if His Royal Highness can't defeat Qisang, Huaxia will fall to the sheji overturned, and it is meaningless to live in the world in the last years, in fact, from the beginning, the two have been firm in their will, coexist and die with Chang'an, and advance and retreat with His Royal Highness, and the two even claim that even the princess can be in danger, how dare others steal peace, so in my opinion, the fifth sister doesn't have to convince the eldest father and Cui Gong anymore, but Chengtai, did the fifth sister persuade him to leave?"

Eleven Niang sighed: "He has also made up his mind, but Shishilang knows that even if he stays in Chang'an, he must first get out of Shangqingguan, so as not to be used as a threat by Qisang. ”

Lu Li actually knew that He Zhan had already made up his mind that he would not leave Chang'an, but he also agreed: "As long as Qi Sang thinks that Chengtai has escaped, it will not hinder the plan." ”

Eleven Niang also felt helpless, but she was originally not a drag on the water, and quickly made a decision: "Since this is the case, then we will focus on the implementation of the next step, I will immediately inform His Highness that the plan remains unchanged, but as long as Mr. Li's family is rescued and evacuated from Chang'an." ”

β€”β€”

As early as when Eleven Niang and Lu Li absconded back to Chang'an and made many plans, they had already instructed He Zhan and Li Youzai how to act, so Xie Ying learned of a strange thing. Since the lifting of the ban and the resumption of the commercial market, there is a merchant surnamed Wang in the East City, who used to run a spice shop, but he is a businessman, only buying spices, lavender and other things from the hands of major merchants and supply banks, and selling them, compared to Jiannan Chen, Luoyang Ruan and other wealthy merchants, the Wang family can only be regarded as a small business, there are only three stores, one shopkeeper, more than ten guys, this kind of shop abounds in Chang'an, and it is not worth being strange, but Xie Ying's eyes and ears are on the Qingguan and Li Youzai's servants will regularly go to the Wang family shop to buy, so she can't help but pay attention.

It was found that the owner of the shop, Wang Haiwei, originally from Laizhou, only settled in Chang'an six years ago, this person is extremely low-key, so that his neighbors do not know the origin, and the business is tepid, and there is no move to cling to the wealthy in the past, but during this period of time, the shopkeeper under Wang Haiwei is very enthusiastic about He Zhan and Li Youzai's domestic servants, and often makes an east in the wine shop, inviting them to eat and drink.

But in addition, Xie Ying can't grasp more information, of course she can arrest Wang Haiwei and torture him to extract a confession, but she is worried about startling the snake, so she only keeps a closer watch.

And Li Youzai's suggestion was very effective, Yingyang Zhenren learned that the Jin King had been exposed after the secret, immediately sent someone to Jinshuo with a secret letter, followed by the King of Jin sent troops to the Tiger Pass, hundreds of thousands of troops of course caught the Tiger Pass commander by surprise, but the King of Jin did not stay in Luoyang, when the Tong Pass guard Jiang Dao learned the news, the King of Jin had led the Yan State Department to the south through Luoyang, and these information were all known to Zhi Neng.

The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, Ashina Qisang expects that Jiang Dao will be distraught after learning the bad news of the Jin King uprising, because this means that his backer Wei Hou's regime is in jeopardy, but Jiang Dao failed to intercept the Jin Wang's department in time, and must be in a dilemma between pursuing to the south and continuing to hold on to Tongguan.

So Qi Sang decisively ordered his younger brother Xionghe to lead a brave army of 500,000 to attack Tongguan immediately.

Xie Ying also thought that the victory ticket for this Tongguan battle was in her hands, and her attention quickly shifted to the incident of eradicating Yangjin - because once the coalition forces occupied Luoyang, it didn't matter whether Tubo turned its face or not, Qisang's ambition was to be the emperor and unify the Central Plains, and it was impossible to always welcome Tubo, and Princess Yangjin died in the Forbidden Garden, she could completely direct this case to the point of confusion, Yangjin was surrounded by many people from the Yeting Palace left over from the Zhou room, and they carried the black cauldron, so they naturally became Empress Dowager Wei's henchmen who wanted to destroy the alliance between the Turks and Tubo. Although Qisang does not fully believe in this conclusion, Yang Jin's life and death have nothing to do with the overall situation, and of course this conclusion can be used to explain to Tubo.

So Xie Ying secretly informed Ai Lu that she must do her best to win the trust of Yangjin, stay with her left and right, wait for the deployment to be properly deployed, and obey the order.

However, Xie Ying did not wait for the good news of Tongguan's victory.

Ashina Xionghe was ordered by the Turkic king to lead an army of 500,000 to attack Tongguan, but instead of victory, he was ambushed, with as many as 100,000 casualties.

Chisan was furious, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Even if Director Jiang is brave and good at fighting, he is not surprised by the uprising of King Jin, at most he will not lose his defense, and the disparity in strength is so great, why would I let my Turkic troops lose their generals?!"

Ashina Qisang decided to go on a personal expedition!
