Before this departure, Li Qing received a special mission. The requirement is also very simple, that is, starting from Fengxiang and walking to the garrison of the Anxi Army.

Li Qing didn't want to go on his legs, but after completing this task, he would open the authority to transfer troops to 20,000 people.

So now the three of them are going along the Silk Road, all the way to the west, to Qiuzi City.

For the sake of safety, Li Qing proposed to bring Li Shimin's exclusive Gundam, Wei Chigong, which is why the three of them went together.

After all, the golden combination of Li Shimin and Wei Chigong is more reliable, and a shooter and a flesh core rush to the face, which can be described as a perfect match.

Li Shimin has no opinion on going to the leg, he was originally the emperor immediately, and he said in conscience that when he fought the world, it was much more difficult than now.

Just remember the bitter and sweet, not to mention that it is not so bitter now, after all, there is a pergola built for him by Li Qing on his camel.

Li Qing did the same, he sat on a camel, his eyes staring ahead and smirking from time to time.

Li Shimin on the side finally couldn't help it: "Brother Xian, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Qing looked ahead in a daze: "Hehehehehe...... Hee-hee-hee-hee......"

Li Shimin took a deep breath......

Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as my virtuous brother.

It's this good virtuous brother, why did he suddenly become a fool?

Li Shimin and Wei Chigong glanced at each other, not knowing what to say.

To be honest, Li Qing actually regrets it now, isn't it good to hold his sister at home for a vacation, he has to suffer in such a desert? Not to mention riding a camel......

He can also feel the enthusiasm of the princess of the Tang Dynasty from a negative distance, especially this woman who can be called the first princess of the Tang Dynasty.

While savoring, he rubbed his old waist and hiccuped like a fool.

Of course he won't say to Li Shimin why, is it possible to say that your sister is too enthusiastic? I, Li Qing, are really a little overwhelmed?

But from now on, this title does have to be changed, even if I am called brother-in-law, I will call you Brother Li...... It's not impossible?

Fortunately, it is now approaching winter, and it is not very hot. Except that the sun is a little hot, there is nothing too much wrong.

"Brother Li, is it hot?" Li Qing sat on a camel and pulled his neck.

"Okay." Li Shimin shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "There is this pergola of the virtuous brother, and this goose feather fan, it won't be too hot......

As he spoke, he glanced down at the camel: "I'm afraid this camel will feel hot." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Li, even if you die of heat, this camel can carry it." Li Qing laughed and teased.

"Jingde, are you hot?" Li Qing looked at Wei Chigong again, scientifically speaking, black absorbs heat, and he was a little worried that Yu Chigong's complexion was not suitable for walking in the desert.

"Hey, that's where it goes." Yu Chigong said with a smile: "Don't worry, King Qin, my old black is very hot!" ”

Well, that's fine, after all, the people in Africa are about the same skin color as him.

About late in the evening, a wisp of cooking smoke appeared in the distance. Li Shimin pointed to the direction of the cooking smoke and said: "Brother Xian, there are still people in this barren beach, you and I might as well rest over there for one night and set off again tomorrow." ”

"Good idea." Li Qing was tired after a day of walking, and the camel was a little bit of a sass.

It's not that he's squeamish, it's mainly that he hasn't ridden a camel much, and his ass is really a little unbearable - it's still squeamish after all.

Approaching, is a rather Hu style inn. When Xiao Er saw the three of them coming, he immediately stepped forward and asked enthusiastically: "A few guest officers, please, the shop has good grapes and wine, freshly slaughtered mutton, what do you think you can eat?" ”

Li Qing put his bags on the table and made a popping sound: "Fill us with water, feed the camels outside, and bring ten catties of hand-handled mutton and three jars of wine. ”

"Look at what the guest officer said." Xiao Er's face was a little down, and he immediately changed into a smiling face after hearing Li Qing order the wine and meat, but he asked with some hesitation: "Ten catties of mutton, have you finished eating the three of you?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Shimin and Li Qing in front of him with some suspicion, these two people looked so thin...... It's hard to eat five catties, let alone ten catties of mutton?

Then he saw Yu Chigong get off the camel, and when he saw his strong figure, he immediately said: "Ten catties of mutton, you three wait a while, and you will come immediately!" ”

With Wei Chigong's size, Xiao Er estimated that these three people were a bit conservative when ordering ten catties of mutton.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Er walked out of the back kitchen with wine and meat and put it on the table in front of the three of them.

Li Shimin was really hungry, and he didn't care so much, he grabbed a piece of mutton without even dipping the sauce, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"it!" He said to Xiao Er vaguely.

I thought that the mutton cooked in this remote Western Regions shop would not taste very good, but he never expected it, it was simply beyond his expectations.

Who knows, hearing his words, Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Listen to the accent, are you from Guanzhong?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Li Shimin replied with a smile.

Xiao Er immediately smiled: "Those three are from Chang'an?" ”

"Ahh Li Qing nodded.

There weren't many people in the store, and after Xiao Er heard this affirmative answer, he approached and asked with envy: "Then, what is Chang'an like, can you talk to Xiao?" ”

"Chang'an, Chang'an is very big, so big that you can't imagine it." Li Qing smiled and described to Xiao Er: "Chang'an's Vermilion Bird Street alone is enough for twenty or thirty horses to walk side by side, not to mention people, I'm afraid, there are more people in Chang'an City than you have seen in your life." ”

"That'...... So many people, isn't it crowded to live in Chang'an City? Xiao Er asked wistfully: "If you open such an inn in Chang'an City, how profitable will it be......

"Hahaha...... Because Chang'an City is wide enough to accommodate so many people, it is not crowded. Li Shimin replied with a smile.

Xiao Er sighed and said, "I have been to Shazhou City before, I don't know what the difference between Chang'an and Shazhou will be. ”

"Hahaha...... If it can be split, I'm afraid that Chang'an City can be split out of more than ten Shazhou. The guest at the table next to him said with a smile.

"It's so big...... Xiao Er was taken aback, and said in amazement: "It's a pity that I was born in Shazhou and has never been to Chang'an. ”

As soon as these words came out, the store was silent, only a sigh.

Since the fall of the northwestern states, the Tang people have been in the enslavement of Tibet, and the soldiers and civilians of the states have been looking forward to the return of the king and the return of the king, driving the Tibetans to recover the states.

"Brother Tai is from Chang'an...... the guests at the next table hugged their fists at Li Shimin and Li Qingyi: "I don't know Chang'an, but you are still worried about me?" ”

"Hey, what do you remember," the guest at the other table sighed, "If the imperial court has the ability to recover the Western Regions, we still need to be enslaved by the Tubo people?" In the second year of Zhenyuan, the town of the navy Jiedu envoy wrote to ask Tubo to attack, but the rest of the Jiedu were afraid that their strength would be weakened, and they refused to contribute at all, and dozens of states in Lianghe looked forward to the king division day and night, but the king division was ...... Alas! ”

"Who said no, you see that I am not a ghost or a ghost, damn." The guest at the adjacent table sighed: "That Tubo Fanzi forced me and other Han people to change to Tubo costumes, only his mother allowed me to wear Han clothes and worship their ancestors on the first day of the first month of each year, and after the worship is over, they will take off their clothes and hide them again for use in the next year!" ”

"Look at my hair? Brother Tai Fang Cai thinks I'm a Hu person? The guest at the other table pointed to his head and said to Li Shimin: "But I am a Han person, in order to enslave us, the Tubo Fanzi forced the Han people to braid their hair, and if anyone did not obey, they forcibly wore their hair...... Alas! ”

"When will the imperial court send troops, restore the rivers and mountains of my Han family, and correct the clothes of my Han family!" The guests at the next table knocked on the table with their hands and sighed.

Li Shimin's eyes were red, if these people had been assimilated by Tibet, it would be nothing. But the remnants of the Tang Dynasty have been in tears for decades, looking forward to Wang Shi year after year, but they are disappointed year by year. In addition to being sad, he regretted a little that he didn't bring Li Zhi and Li Longji over.

*Grief from Li Shimin +5000

Let the two of them see what they have sown and what fruits they have reaped.

If Tuyuhun is still there, how can Tubo be so big? If Li Longji hadn't made such an Anshi rebellion, how could the Anxi Court be taken advantage of by the Tibetan thieves because of the emptiness of defense?

Wei Chigong, a man like a black iron tower, couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard this, and ate two more catties of mutton with tears.

"Don't say it, don't say it, drink!" The guests at the adjacent table raised their wine bowls and chanted Du Fu's spring hope loudly.

To be honest, the current situation is not very strange to the emperor of the current dynasty, Dezong Li Shi, after all, he does not want to recover Anxi, but he can't.

The internal friction of the Jiedu envoy and the Tibetan raids on the southwest day after day had exhausted his energy, and he had no time to take care of it.

On the second day, before the three of them left, Xiao Er specially packed them with a few more cakes and a few water bags for them to use on the road.

"We are all Tang people, and the guest officer doesn't need to thank him!"

The little second brother stood at the door of the inn and waved goodbye to the two.

On the road this time, the mood of the three was no longer the same as yesterday, but they sat on the camel with heavy faces and were speechless for a long time.

"Brother Xian." It wasn't until noon that Li Shimin opened his mouth to say a word.

"What's wrong?" Li Qing had a cake in his mouth.

"Originally, I thought that the past two years have been taken lightly, as I said to you the day before yesterday, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be a horse and a cow for your children and grandchildren." Li Shimin said and sighed: "But today, I understand that this reorganization of the rivers and mountains is not only for the Tang Dynasty, but also for these soldiers and civilians who care about my Datang." ”

"As long as I think of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty under the enslavement of Tubo, my heart is uncomfortable." Li Shimin looked up to the sky and sighed.

"It's not just you, I'm uncomfortable too." Li Qing stretched out his hand and rubbed the hump in front of him: "What can I do if I am uncomfortable?" Let's go. ”

"Let's go to Chang'an." Li Shimin sat up: "I've figured it out for my brother, I can't ignore these millions of Li people because of my personal emotions." ”

"It's too late to go now, so let's do what we're doing first." Li Qing spread his hands: "Even if you go to Chang'an, Li Shi may not recognize you as an ancestor, so let's find the loyal ministers first, and then kill them in Chang'an and take the bird position......"

As soon as he said it, he almost made him Li Shi Couldn't my brother do it baldly.

It's bad, it's not Li Qing now, it's the black whirlwind Li Kui.

"What King Qin said is very much in line with my old black!" Wei Chigong took the lead in praising it. As the most loyal one among Li Shimin's horses, he absolutely supports Lao Li.

"He dared to deny it!" Li Shimin said domineeringly: "I have big ears and melon seeds to pump him!" ”

"Yes, yes, you're happy that the archers shot us into hedgehogs?" Li Qing looked at Li Shimin with disdain: "Are you kidding your buddy's life like this?" ”

As soon as Li Shimin wanted to speak, he saw that Wei Chigong suddenly became alert, and he immediately asked, "Jingde, what's wrong?" ”

Wei Chigong stretched out his hand to make a silent movement, he looked around carefully, and after a while, he pointed to the front right and said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be a shouting of killing over there." ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Li Shimin instigated the camel and walked in the direction pointed by Wei Chigong.

After walking for about two or three hundred meters, the three of them climbed over a sand dune, and saw a group of Tang Army-like squads in the center of the valley floor in front of them, each holding a spear, surrounding a bunch of vehicles that seemed to be baggage, pointing at the periphery like hedgehogs; The Tibetans around them were beating horses and shouting wildly, occasionally shooting arrows at them with bows and arrows.

Fortunately, this team of Tang troops was fully armored, and the bows and arrows could not cause them much damage for the time being, but the purpose of the Tubo people was obviously not to shoot them with arrows, but to consume their spirits, and wait until they were tired before rushing to kill them in one fell swoop.

"Are these my Tang Army?" Li Shimin couldn't help frowning and asked, "Didn't you say that the entire Anxi Protectorate had fallen?" Why is there such a Tang Army squad? ”

"They are indeed Tang Jun." Li Qing said firmly, "It seems that it should be someone who belongs to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate." ”

"Brother Xian, where is my bow?" When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to Li Qingyi.

Since it was Tang Jun, he had no reason to sit idly by. Time waits for no one, if you have any doubts, wait until you repel these Tibetan wolf cubs.

Li Qing immediately released the war horses of the two of them, and thoughtfully prepared armor and horse lances for Wei Chigong.

"King Xie Qin, but I don't need this!" Wei Chigong laughed, and instead of picking up the armor, he took off his shirt, revealing a knotted black muscle.

It is not cool to wear armor on a hot day, it is better to be naked, so that it is not hot, but it can be displayed.

He lifted the horse lance, turned over on the horse, and said to Li Shimin arrogantly: "Hahahaha...... Your Majesty, are these Tubo cubs enough for the two of us to kill! ”

"Whether it's enough or not, kill it first!" Li Shimin laughed, and the prancing horse took the bow and went in the direction of Tubo.
