Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 682 Chapter 700: Perfect reasoning

"How...how is it possible!" Xi Nuluo asked Sheng Guolan in disbelief, "Didn't you say that he was poisoned by three kinds of strange poisons, black green poison and flame fruit poison, even an elephant can't resist, how could he... …fine!"

"My daughter doesn't know what's going on." Sheng Guolan also said with a dazed face, "But he really woke up, as if nothing happened, and defeated that very powerful middle-aged man, who was over 30 Years old, wearing a blue Taoist robe, seems to be surnamed Yuan..."

"The surname is Yuan!" Xi Nuluo was shocked again. According to Sheng Guolan's description, he thought of a person, Yuan Shoucheng, who was the military adviser of King Wu. That day Yuan Shoucheng broke into his palace at night and regarded hundreds of guards as nothing , Its miraculous means are simply unimaginable, but now Sheng Guolan said that Li Hao defeated Yuan Shoucheng, he couldn't accept it, and his head was buzzing.

Xi Nuluo was already startled into a daze, Sheng Guolan continued to talk, when he saw a large painting on the floor of Di Renjie's room last night, Xi Nuluo suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Is the treasure in the Zen staff a piece of art?" Second painting? Have you seen what that painting is?"

"I saw it, but I didn't see it clearly." Sheng Guolan said, "The painting seems to be a landscape painting... No, it's not like a landscape painting, but it's a bit like a map. Yes, it's a map."

"Map!" Xi Nuluo's face suddenly showed ecstasy when he heard the words, and he said excitedly, "Yes, it is a map, that is the map, the number one map in the world, the map of Shanhe Sheji! It must be the map of Shanhe Sheji, otherwise It’s impossible for so many people to fight for it!”

Seeing Xi Nuluo's excited appearance, Sheng Guolan was even more confused, and asked with a confused face: "Father, what is the map of the mountains and rivers?"

"You don't understand even if I tell you." Xi Nuluo waved his hand, and suddenly said with a serious face, "Remember, you must not tell anyone about what happened yesterday except your father."

"Why?" Sheng Guolan was like a curious baby now, she suddenly found that the picture seemed weird, ever since that picture appeared, Di Renjie had killed her, and now even her father warned her so seriously, but he came Comfort yourself.

"Don't ask so many questions!" Xi Nuluo said, "Knowing too much is not good for you. Just remember what your father said and don't tell anyone else, understand?"

"Oh, I see." Sheng Guolan replied unhappily.

Only then did Xi Nuluo nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Father is going back first." After saying that, he walked out, and just as he reached the door of the room, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Remember, don't tell anyone people!"

"Got it!" Sheng Guolan was a little impatient, she didn't understand, it was just a broken picture, how could the father be so mysterious.

"Also, don't cry anymore." After finishing speaking, Xi Nuluo turned and left.

Looking at the back of Xi Nuluo leaving, Sheng Guolan murmured in a low voice: "The map of the mountains and rivers...isn't it just a broken map, why did the father react so much, Di Renjie was so fierce to me last night, is he also nervous?" Sub-picture... Hmph, I'm not even as good as a picture in his heart, I'm so pissed off..."

From Sheng Guolan's point of view, this is just a broken map, but from Xi Nuluo's point of view, it is a military strategic map for conspiring to seize the Tang Dynasty. Every king of the Six Edicts knows that there is such a The deputy map of mountains, rivers, and lands is a detailed map of all the mountains, rivers, deserts, and forests of the Tang Dynasty. If a shrewd general uses this map to march and fight, it will be beneficial everywhere.

Xi Nuluo believed Yuan Tiangang's nonsense, thinking that his son was killed by the Tang Emperor, and avenged his son. At the same time, as the king of Nanzhao, he had the responsibility and obligation to make Nanzhao stronger. Knowing that with the power of Nanzhao, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the Tang Dynasty, but the king of Wu granted him ten times the territory and asked him to surrender. He naturally hoped that the king of Wu could win the throne of the Tang emperor.

King Wu is just a vassal now, and has lost the right to inherit the throne. The only way to rise to power is to raise troops to rebel. Rebellion involves military affairs, so this map of mountains, rivers and communities has become extremely important, otherwise Yuan Shoucheng would not have fought for this map Unfortunately, Yuan Shoucheng was caught off guard by Li Hao and failed.

But it doesn't matter, Yuan Shoucheng failed, and he, Xi Nuluo, although Li Hao is very capable, is still on the three-acre land in Nanzhao. He will try his best to steal the map of Shanhe Sheji, he can only steal it, not Rob, after all, Li Hao is the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty. They all call them angels. The angels here are not birdmen with wings, but short for envoys of the kingdom of heaven. In the eyes of these barbarian countries, Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven , Tang envoys must not be offended, otherwise, it will lead to a disaster of destroying the country. Has the Tang Dynasty destroyed few countries in these years?

Xi Nuluo is a smart person, and he would not take such a big risk. He must think of a comprehensive solution, even if he fails, Li Hao will not be caught.

Xi Nuluo lingered in the hall for a long time, finally got an idea, immediately called the guards over, and began to issue various secret orders.

It was already afternoon when Li Hao and the others returned to Taihe City. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw a hundred-man cavalry lined up at the gate of the city. The leader, a general in his forties, saw Li Hao and the others coming and rode his horse He went up to greet him, then dismounted from his horse and saluted, and said loudly: "Nanzhao General Duan Hong is ordered by Nanzhao King to welcome King Qiongnan of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Hao drove his horse forward two feet, then got off his horse, walked up to him, and said with a smile on his face: "General Duan, please excuse me."

Duan Hong accepted the gift, looked up at Li Hao, and said: "King Qiongnan, my king heard that King Qiongnan recovered from a serious illness and survived the catastrophe. Congratulations to King Qiongnan."

Li Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Thank Nanzhao King on my behalf."

Duan Hong said again: "My king also asked the general to pass on the message. My king said that King Qiongnan was seriously ill when he first came to Nanzhao. It is a great regret in his life that he could not meet a hero like King Qiongnan. Please After King Qiongnan enters the city, he must go to the palace to meet my king."

I didn't expect these Nanzhao people to speak politely. It can be seen that they are also working hard to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Li Hao replied with a smile: "Yes, I will read the canonization edict to the Nanzhao king. Of course we have to meet , but it is going to be late today, the king has traveled all day and is tired, so go back and tell the king of Nanzhao that the king will bring the canonized edict to see him tomorrow morning."

Unexpectedly, Li Hao pushed back the date of the meeting to the next day. Duan Hong frowned slightly after hearing this, but he was helpless. In front of Li Hao, his status was not good enough. One level lower, but Li Hao is an angel, this status can make him equal to Xi Nuluo, and even surpass Xi Nuluo, which is very awesome, even Xi Nuluo must pay attention to his tone when talking to Li Hao , Li Hao represents Datang, and disrespect to Li Hao is disrespect to Datang. At the same time, Li Hao is still a close minister of the emperor. The vassal state has become the Tang Dynasty's Juli Prefecture, so Duan Hong didn't dare to say anything, he could only nod his head and say: "Yes! The final general will definitely pass on the original words to my king!"

"Okay, let's go into the city." Li Hao said lightly, turned around and mounted his horse, and Duan Hong led the people to clear the way in front, and they followed behind into the city, all the way to the post house unimpeded.

As soon as he sat down in the post house, Di Renjie closed the door suddenly, came to Li Hao's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Xi Nuluo may know that we have obtained the map of Shanhe Sheji."

"Huh?" Li Hao frowned at Di Renjie and asked, "How did he know?"

Di Renjie said: "Sheng Guolan broke into our room last night, and she saw the picture."

Li Hao thought for a while, and said, "Sheng Guolan knows the map of Shanhe Sheji?"

"She definitely doesn't know the map of Shanhe Sheji, and she probably hasn't even heard of it." Di Renjie said, "But Xi Nuluo should know the existence of the map of Shanhe Sheji. When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty sent people to map it, there were many people. A few soldiers and horses came to southern Xinjiang, causing commotion. On the day when the map of Shanhe Sheji was drawn, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty did not hide it, intending to frighten other foreign countries, so those foreign rulers knew the existence of the map of Shanhe Sheji. You go to Little Putuo You were unconscious when you were in the temple, but before you returned to Taihe City, Xinuluo sent someone out of the city to meet you, which means that he already knew that you were awake, and someone must have told him about the Little Putuo Temple."

Hearing this, Li Hao frowned immediately. It had to be said that Di Renjie's speculation was very reasonable. He stood up and walked slowly, saying: "There are only three people from Nanzhao who know about this, Sheng Guolan, Duan Zhongyan, and Tai Zongqing. , and the only person who saw the map of Shanhe Sheji was Sheng Guolan, are you sure it was Sheng Guolan who told him? Not Duan Zhongyan or Tai Zongqing?"

"I'm not sure about this." Di Renjie said calmly, "But you also saw it just now. It's already afternoon, and Xi Nuluo actually invited you to meet at the palace. In the afternoon, the courtiers don't attend. Meeting with him must be a private meeting. You don't have any personal relationship with him, why is he so urgent to see you?"

"Well, that makes sense." Li Hao nodded when he heard the words. In fact, when he was outside Taihe City, he felt that it was unreasonable for Xi Nuluo to see him at this time. He felt that it was too anxious and hasty. He was as smart as Di Renjie. People, but his logical reasoning ability is not as strong as that of Di Renjie, and he can analyze it in an orderly manner. He just feels that something is wrong, so he refuses.

At this point, both Di Renjie and Li Hao were silent. After a while, Li Hao said suddenly: "Now, let's assume that Xi Nuluo knows that we have obtained the map of Shanhe Sheji, what will happen next?"

Di Renjie said: "It all depends on how ambitious and courageous Xi Nuluo is."

In fact, Li Hao is very good at speculating on such things, but this time he decided to see if Di Renjie's speculation was the same as his own, so he spread his hands and said, "Go on."

Di Renjie said: "Although I have never seen Xi Nuluo, I can infer from the folk customs of Nanzhao and the information I have heard that Xi Nuluo is a character. Although Nanzhao is a barren land, he has managed it in an orderly manner. , the people of Nanzhao praised him very much. It can be seen that this person is a good monarch. Such a person usually thinks carefully about gains and losses when doing things. He should not force his hands on us, because that would anger Datang and cause Come to the disaster."

Li Hao nodded slowly. Di Renjie's speculation was the same as his, and he also thought that Xi Nuluo didn't dare to force it.

Di Renjie continued: "But such a monarch usually has ambitions. Maybe he will be intimidated by Tang Tianwei and dare not act rashly. Maybe he will come up with a safe method and try it. What if he succeeds? It will definitely leave a way for myself, and will not let us catch it."

Li Hao couldn't help clapping his hands slowly when he heard the words, and praised with a heartfelt smile: "Perfect reasoning, you can't accept it. Next, let's think about it carefully. Just in case."
