Chapter 569: The Great Xia Imperial Capital, Xijing

Xijing is the capital of the Great Xia Empire, an ancient city that has been around for hundreds of years, Su Youwei and Han Tongwen got off Xiao Jin's back outside the city, after all, Xiao Jin's goal is too big and easy to find. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Although the walls of Xijing City are very high, it is still difficult to resist a light skill master like Han Tongwen, the two Qiao Zhuang mixed into Xijing City, although Xijing is not as good as Chang'an, but it is also very prosperous, and there are people on the street, Li An should be in the post house in Xijing City, the two did not go to look for it recklessly, but waited to sneak into the post house after dark.

The Great Xia Post House is very large and even worth a royal mansion, Han Tongwen relied on his peerless light skills to search in many places in the post house and finally found Li An's residence. The study was brightly lit, and the candle flame was beating on Li An's old face, bright or dark, and he leaned back on the chair tiredly and slowly closed his eyes to recall what had happened in the past few days. The court of Daxia is not as enlightened as the Tang Dynasty, from the time of the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, the political situation is enlightened, and the monarchs and ministers do not let either side dominate the court, and the two sides work together to govern the world, but in the authority of the emperor in Daxia overrides everything. Originally, there were people like Lin Kui who dared to speak out, but now there are very few such courtiers. Paper can't contain the fire, and the scandal of Emperor Xia's assassination of Wenzong didn't know who had spread it, causing a sensation throughout Great Xia, which not only made Emperor Xia himself a lot of stains, but also chilled the loyal courtiers in the court, and also made Wenzong, who was originally from the two literary academies, disheartened and chose to return to his hometown, Emperor Xia asked several times but the two still did not stay.

The rebellion in Qingzhou and other ten states was not too big a crisis, and many important ministers in the court had received the news before the rebellion broke out, but all the people in the court tacitly chose to remain silent, such a relationship between monarchs and ministers was rare in ancient times. It can be said that Emperor Xia has suffered immeasurable losses because of the assassination of Lin Kui, and in the long run, Great Xia will naturally fall apart, but at present, this is also where Li An finds it difficult to start, because the court has completely become a hall of words of Emperor Xia, if the emperor insists on going his own way and wants to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, then any of his words will become pale and powerless.

But once the real war starts, it will be like a flood beast that has broken through the shackles, and it will move the whole body, and the golden wolf and the Yiren empire are watching. Mo Zongli made a very great contribution to the Tang Dynasty, before his death, he hit the martial arts world of the Golden Wolf Empire hard, the Snow Mountain Temple was rebuilt for more than two years and still did not recover and could not afford to start a war at all, and it was difficult for the Yiren Empire to take the lead in attacking across the sea, only Daxia was the easiest place to provoke a war. In addition to these three great empires, Ang Lee did not forget that there was also a Roman Empire in the west, and the calm Tang Dynasty was full of crises, which was why Ang Lee insisted on coming.

If Datang's internal stability is not a problem, Xizhou and Beiting have provided Datang with a lot of military expenses and grain and grass in recent years, and with these abundant resources, the brave and warlike twelve guards and iron armor will repel all invading enemies like a black torrent. But now that the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, the voices above the court have been surrounding the throne, and there is no time to take care of the border. Li An was worried when the door suddenly opened, two sturdy figures jumped in, looking at the person in front of him, Li An couldn't help but stand up.

"Student Han Tongwen has seen Mr., and after two years of not seeing him, he learned that everything is fine with Mr. Tongwen is very happy"

"It's finally back"

Ang Lee had a smile on his face, and in the past two years, Ang Lee has been the one who has been the most unwavering believer that Han Tongwen is still alive. I haven't seen Li An old for two years, Han Tongwen is a little sad, if there is no Li An and these old gentlemen in the academy, maybe their master and apprentice will be as pitiful as wild dogs, constantly wandering in the world, the time in the academy is the time when Han Tongwen is the most at ease, because no matter what goes wrong, these old gentlemen will hold up for him, no matter where he is, there are always people who are worried and worried, this feeling makes Han Tongwen extremely obsessed. His parents gave him a new lease of life, and the academy and Ang Lee gave him the most free environment to grow up, both of which were equally important to him.

"The junior Su Youwei has seen Mr. Li" I have also seen Li An when I went to Qingya Academy a few times before.

"Good girl, Su I have a good daughter," Li Anle said.

"I learned that Mr. was in Xijing, so Tongwen rushed to see that Mr. was safe and sound."

"Are you afraid that I, an old man, will die here?" said Li An.

"You're serious"

"What's serious or not, since you're here, help me take a good look at it, this time the peace talks are a little difficult" Li An sighed

"Last time, because of Lin Kui's presence, the war was not in line with the common interests of the two empires, so it was Lin Kui and all the famous ministers in the court who worked together to advise, and under such court pressure, Emperor Xia agreed to withdraw the army, and a courtier can change the will of the king, which is why Emperor Xia wanted to get rid of Lin Kui. ”

"So have you made any progress this time?" Han Tongwen asked.

"Progress? It can't be said that there is no progress at all, although Emperor Xia is still stubbornly preparing for war, but the ministers in the court led by Prime Minister Xu Yuzhi seem to be unwilling, but the most difficult thing is how to convince Emperor Xia"

"Is there any way to do it?"

Li An shook his head, "Emperor Xia is very stubborn, there is no way, even I have been assassinated twice"

"Assassination?" Han Tongwen was shocked, Li An is the first king of the Tang Dynasty and Wenzong, his dual identity makes him have a vital role in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xia wants to assassinate Li An, that is, to completely cut off the road of peace talks, if Li An dies in Xijing, even if Daxia does not fight the Tang Dynasty, they will not easily let them go, then the two empires will have reached a situation where they must fight.

"Don't worry, I also have someone around me to protect me, otherwise I wouldn't have come alone as an old man," Li Ang said with a smile.

"Someone to protect?"

"With him, I won't be in any danger, do you have any good solutions" Ang Lee believes in Han Tongwen's wisdom very much.

"I have a way, I'm afraid that Mr. won't agree" Han Tongwen looked left and right, as if he was afraid that someone would eavesdrop on the news and leak it.

"Don't worry, if someone is secretly protecting what is here, don't worry, say boldly, as long as it is feasible, how can I disagree, you are an old stubborn gentleman" Li An is very confident in his situation, or very confident in the people who protect him.

"I'm going to assassinate Emperor Xia!" Han Tongwen said

How difficult it is to assassinate the emperor of a great empire, even a martial saint is difficult to do, but this originally earth-shattering news Li An is thinking very seriously.

"Not to mention how difficult it is to assassinate Emperor Xia, even if you really kill him, there will be a new emperor on the throne, and Emperor Xia's sons are even more tyrannical than their fathers, to no avail" Li An shook his head.

"So I have released Xia Yu from Chang'an back to Great Xia, and I am currently in Xijing, as long as I succeed in the assassination, Xia Yu will cooperate with me"

"How sure is it" how dangerous it is to assassinate Emperor Xia, Li An knows very well.

"With Youwei here, I'm at least seventy percent sure," Han Tongwen said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, since the peace talks don't go well and you already have a way, then I'll cooperate with you this time, and I'll let my guards secretly cooperate with you"

"What about your safety, sir?"

"In the next few days, I will go to the palace to meet Emperor Xia again, as long as I am in the palace, Emperor Xia will not dare to take me lightly."

What Li An said is very reasonable, if a country Wenzong dies in the palace, then Emperor Xia will undoubtedly become the object of ridicule of all the people, how to protect a big empire even if an ancient old man can't take good care of it, so even Emperor Xia will never let Li An die in his palace.

Seeing that Li An was a little too tired, everything else was fine, Han Tongwen also relieved his heart and quietly left the post house, thinking that he was very secretive and unnoticed, but they didn't know that there was a pair of eyes secretly watching all this. Han Tongwen didn't know that they had been targeted by a terrifying figure, a middle-aged man walked out of the darkness and was about to follow behind Han Tongwen, but just as he was about to leave, a black shadow fell beside him.

"Family master, please go back to the Overlord Pavilion quickly, that person is here again"

The middle-aged man had a displeasure on his face, "It's always bad for me, and this time it seems that I can't show mercy to his subordinates"

The Du Family Overlord Pavilion is a place in the martial arts world of the five major empires, because there are two artifact overlord guns and Miao Zu stored here, and the middle-aged man just now is also the Du family's master overlord Du Yan! When it comes to artifacts, no warrior can resist the temptation of the artifact, but since the gambling king Du Kaiyuan, it is known to the world that the overlord gun and Miao Zu were placed in the Overlord Pavilion, and many warriors who peeped at the artifact died in the Overlord Pavilion, but no one could take them away from here, and they couldn't even see it. Today's Du family, Du Yan, Du Zhong, and the strength of the Double Martial Saint are even stronger than back then, and no one dares to go wild here, but there is only one person who has been defeated and fought repeatedly for more than ten years, and has never given up taking away the artifact of the Overlord Pavilion, and by chance, it is this person who diverts the eyes of Du Yan, who is terrifying, from Han Tongwen.
