People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 663 Grape wine, lying drunk on the battlefield

In the towering building, Li Xuan, who had already changed into a golden armor, sat on the seat with a relaxed expression.

On both sides below, dozens of envoys from various countries sat respectfully on both sides.

"Reporting to the lord, it has been checked. The Fuyuan crossbow used by the assassin was made by the thief. The whole wooden bird is a modified self-made Fuyuan crossbow." Di Renjie, the chancellor of Dali Temple, stood in the center of the hall in a dark green official uniform, with a look on his face. She looked at Li Xuan solemnly.

Fu Yuannu's drawings were leaked. Although Di Renjie didn't say this clearly, the direction of investigation basically tended to this direction.

Those shrewd national envoys present quickly noticed this.

"The Fuyuan crossbow that can fly is interesting." With Li Xuan's words, the eyes of many envoys present lit up.

Although the Fuyuan Crossbow is good, the Fuyuan Crossbow that can fly is the real rare thing.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and then said: "Crossbow arrows are easy to make, and imitation is enough; crossbows can also be assembled and transformed from discarded crossbows from various states and cities. It is not difficult. The key point is the bowstring. If it is abandoned in the state and county, the bow string will be removed first, and then hidden. Now it is obviously a self-made bow string. The craftsmanship and material inside are far from what ordinary people can get. Follow this line to find out. can gain something.”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, the expressions of the many ambassadors at the scene suddenly dimmed.

Li Xuan is right, the key is not the blueprint, but the production.

Drawings are always dead objects. The materials, craftsmanship, processes, and things in them, if there is the slightest mistake, will fall short immediately.

This kind of thing cannot be produced without the backing of a strong national power.

In this world, there are only two countries, Datang and Tubo, that really have the power to produce this kind of thing.

However, it is a pity that Tubo has no blueprints and does not know the craftsmanship. Although it has the ability to obtain enough materials, it cannot make the Fuyuan crossbow.

Di Renjie stood in the center of the hall, his expression still solemn, his brows were serious, and he cupped his hands to say something, but he still reacted to Li Xuan's words: "Your Highness is wise."

Li Xuan waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Qianniuwei has a list of suspects in his hand, you should go and investigate together with Qianniuwei immediately, and see who is behind the scenes tonight."

"No!" Di Renjie cupped his hands without the slightest hesitation, and immediately turned around and walked away. After turning around, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

In the hall, the silence immediately fell, but everyone's eyes fell on Li Xuan.

"Come here, pour the wine!" Li Xuan waved her hand back, and a Jinwu guard immediately stepped forward and filled the glass cup in front of Li Xuan again.

Li Xuan raised the wine glass, facing the fire, looking at the swaying liquid in it, and said softly: "Grape wine luminous glass, everyone, tonight encouragement, drinking, admiring the lights, and watching a particularly exciting fight, this Shangyuan At night, the king's hospitality is considered considerate, right?"

"Your Majesty takes good care of you, and I'll make you feel at home." Zabala stood up holding the wine glass, cupped his hands at Li Xuan, and said, "The ministers are here to respect the King, wish him a long life, and wish the Tang Dynasty a long life." !"

"I wish the king a long life, and I wish the Tang Dynasty a long life." All the envoys in the hall stood up and bowed their hands sincerely to Li Xuan.

Long live Qianqiu, Li Xuan sighed softly in his heart.

That is to say, in the new year, the nobles and common people can use Long Live for two years, otherwise, when it is placed on him, a name of usurping has already been buckled on his head.

Li Xuan stood up slowly, put the wine glass forward, and said: "So, I will stop here tonight, I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival and good health, please!"

"Please!" All the envoys immediately raised their wine glasses, and then drank it down with Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked sideways at Ma Wei, who was on the side, and said softly: "Cheng Ma Shu, please send you off on behalf of me."

"Here!" Ma Wei immediately stood up and said to the envoys, "Everyone, please!"

Many envoys at the scene bowed their hands to return the salute to Ma Wei, then turned around and gave a deep salute to Li Xuan, then turned and left.

When the last envoy turned around, Li Xuan turned sideways and said, "Pour wine! Play the piano!"

The crisp sound of the piano sounded instantly, and Li Xuan sat down, holding the glass of wine in his hand, shaking it gently by the candlelight, and then said softly: "Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately urge, drunk lying on the battlefield Junmo laugh……"

Many envoys who had already left the palace and those who hadn't left the palace turned their heads in astonishment.

Inside the main hall, Li Xuan drank the wine in his glass and said softly again: "Lord Mo Xiao, who is drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times... how many people!"

A word "Hui", with a peculiar ending sound, accompanied by a sudden high-pitched piano sound, echoed back and forth in the entire hall, making people shudder and creepy.

Li Xuan stared at the Tubo envoy Zabala among the crowd with piercing eyes, and leaned forward, full of murderous aura.

Zabala's mouth was extremely bitter, he bowed deeply to Li Xuan again, then ignored everyone, turned around and left immediately.

The many envoys present looked at Li Xuan in awe, and finally bowed their hands collectively, and then left slowly.

In their ears, the sentence seemed to be constantly echoing: "Drunk lying on the battlefield, Jun Moxiao, how many people have fought in ancient times...how many people!"

……

After leaving the tower, several officials from Honglu Temple greeted him immediately, and then invited Zabala into a carriage.

The carriage moved slowly, and headed towards Honglu Temple again.

The envoys of other countries, even the envoys of Silla, were allowed to move freely in the city tonight, but he was the only one who was asked to return to the guest house of Honglu Temple immediately after the banquet.

Sitting in the dark carriage, Zabala slammed his fist hard on the soft couch, making a muffled sound.

In an instant, Zabala's face became extremely ferocious and resentful: "Damn it, he regards Tubo as a stepping stone to fame."

At this moment, all the details of Li Xuan's contact with him appeared in Zabala's mind. Those were true and false, some were true, some were lies, but every word and every movement of his had a special intention all the time. .

The king of Nanchang, a master of calculating people's hearts; the king of Nanchang, has an amazing literary talent; the king of Nanchang, decisive in killing and attacking;

He has a high mind, has a strong grasp of people's hearts, is not weak in force, comes from a clan, and has a lot of prestige. As long as such a person appears on the battlefield, he must be the enemy of Tubo.

His only shortcoming is that he is not familiar with the Tubo battlefield, but if he survives a big battle without dying, the whole Tubo will be in huge trouble in the future.

He must be killed, this battle must kill him, kill him...

Zabala looked at the darkness in front of him, with endless fear in his eyes.

Especially tonight, although Li Xuan was assassinated, he was able to deal with it easily, and according to what he said, he still had a list in his hand.

A list of extremely suspicious people about the identity of the King of the East China Sea.

……

The carriage swayed forward, and the city was full of people watching the lights tonight.

In the first month of this year, the flower market lights are like daytime.

Suddenly a group of children inexplicably rushed out from an alley on one side, the speed was very fast, the Jin Wuwei who was driving quickly pulled the carriage, so as not to collide with the group of children.

The people around who saw this scene took a deep breath and pointed at the carriage.

I didn't notice that Jin Wuwei's attention was all focused on the front just for a moment, but someone approached the back alley of the carriage at this moment.

Randomly, a short note was stuffed out, and then quickly taken away.

A man with the appearance of a Chinese man quickly walked through the alley beside the street, appeared on another street, mixed with the crowd, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After a while, he had put on the clothes of a Tubo envoy again, paraded on the street, and finally mixed with the crowd, and did not return to the embassy until midnight.

Upon returning to the embassy, ​​the Tubo envoy was immediately invited to the deputy envoy's room.

The deputy envoy seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Once the envoy entered the door, he hurriedly asked, "How, have you got the news?"

"I got it." The envoy quickly untied the green patterned pouch at his waist, picked it up with both hands and handed it over.

The deputy envoy took the bag and didn't open it to look at it immediately, but asked with a serious expression: "Also, your line of business hasn't been discovered, has it?"

"No!" The envoy stood up slightly, and said solemnly: "The villain walked around three streets and went through six alleys, stopped and looked back from time to time, changed his clothes in the shop in the middle, and invited two After the homeless man helped to keep an eye on it, no one was found following him."

"I still believe in your ability. If you are followed by others, then I am afraid that no one can avoid it." Having said that, the deputy envoy smiled slightly, then waved his hand and said: " In this way, you go back to rest first, and if there is something, I will come to you again."

"Here!" The envoy cupped his hands again, and then quickly exited the deputy envoy's room. He also helped close the door completely, and then retreated to his own room.

Back in the room, the envoy breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly it seemed that his arm was pinned, and the envoy immediately grinned.

Gently covering his right arm and shoulder with his left hand, he pulled off his clothes slightly, and a welt mark clearly appeared in front of his eyes.

……

It was late at night in Chang'an, although there were still lively sounds on the street, but the sound had gradually quieted down.

In Prince Peng's mansion, Li Xuan was wearing a blue robe, sitting by the fire, reading a book of "Spring and Autumn".

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and immediately, Li Bi pushed the door open without knocking.

"My lord, I got the things." Li Bi cupped his hands and handed over a short note.

"Close the door and drink." Li Xuan took the note and pointed to the warm medicinal wine on the stove.

Li Bi turned around and went back to close the door, then sat next to Li Xuan again and poured a cup of hot wine to warm up.

At this time, Li Xuan had already handed back the note in his hand to Li Bi, and said, "Tomorrow, someone will send it to the Military Division. This item should be what they want most."

"Here!" Li Bi immediately reached out to take it.

Li Xuan looked at the flames flickering in front of him, and said softly: "There are five things here. First, Datang is fully preparing for battle; There is a risk of exposure of identity; fourth, Silla has lost hope; fifth, the king must be killed in this battle."

At the end, Li Xuan smiled lightly: "It seems that this Tubo envoy has a lot of resentment towards the king!"

"My lord, the deputy envoy of Tubo is already making arrangements to send out this information in the near future."

"I've been staring at them and blocked all their intelligence channels. This king wants to see what they will do?"
