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

Chapter 695 Tubo elaboration, Western Turks

By order.

Du Zhongkang keenly grasped these two words, and his face, which was originally calm, immediately changed.

There are several other people who also captured these two words. They are all descendants of the Wei family, the Cui family, and the Dou family.

Although most of them are dudes, they are naturally sensitive to court affairs.

"I'll go." In the blink of an eye, one hand had grabbed the waist card that Li Xuan threw on the table.

A stern-faced young man in a black brocade robe came out from the side holding his waist card.

He cupped his hands to Li Xuan and said, "Chang'an Dou Xiao has met the King of Nanchang."

"Dou Shibalang, what do you want to do?" Du Zhongkang grabbed Dou Xiao's wrist fiercely, his face was ugly and terrible for a moment.

"What are you doing?" Dou Xiao looked at Du Zhongkang in amazement, shook off his palm, and said with a frown, "Of course it's meritorious service. It's for assisting in the capture of Tubo secret agents. Tang Lv has made a difference, why don't you go?"

After finishing speaking, Dou Xiao subconsciously looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded directly, and said: "Tang Lv is indeed meritorious, but the merit of reporting is not as good as the merit of arresting people. Let others do the reporting. You accompany me to arrest people."

Dou Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then he was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "Follow the order."

Li Xuan turned to look at Li Xian, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please stay here, the guards of the King's Palace obey orders, but anyone who breaks through the building can be hunted down."

"Here!" A dozen gray-clothed guards came from behind the pillars and curtains, and directly cupped their hands at Li Xuan with solemn expressions.

Li Xian finally came to his senses, looked at Li Xuan, and asked in astonishment: "Uncle Wang, is there really a detailed work?"

"En!" Li Xuan nodded earnestly, and finally warned: "Your Highness, please send someone to watch over this Du Erlang. If he escapes, I have to ask Your Majesty to go to the main residence of the Du family in the south of the city to find someone. .”

As soon as Li Xuan's words came out, Du Zhongkang's face couldn't help but change.

Once Li Xuan said this, if he still dared to run away, it would be tantamount to trapping his family in an injustice.

Du Zhongkang was able to open this ball court because he relied on the power of the family to open it, and he had to pay the family money every month.

If he was really involved in secret work and ran away, the first one who couldn't let him go would be Jingzhao Du's family.

At this time, Li Xuan stood up slowly, looked at the people around, leaned on the short table with the eight-faced Han sword scabbard in his hand, and said loudly: "You are all children of the Chang'an family, and now you have the opportunity to serve the country , to be loyal to the country, I think your elders will be extremely pleased if they know that you have made contributions because of this. Of course, if there is someone who has no fame and fortune, just pretend to be my king and say nothing."

How could it be possible that they have no desire for fame and wealth? They seem to be playboys, and they mess around with Li Xian every day because of their embarrassing position at home.

Either the bastard, or the second son of the first line, he was betting on Li Xian because he was the idler in the family.

But even so, they still have the opportunity to be an official in the future. If they have the opportunity to make meritorious service, their future official career will at least go much smoother.

Even if the starting point is a little higher, he can easily surpass countless people.

Even if he can make a good impression in front of the King of England and the King of Nanchang now, then he will have a bright future.

"Okay, leave one person to pass the message to Qianniuwei, and the others will follow me." Li Xuan collected her thoughts, bowed to Li Xian, and then walked out the door.

After taking two steps, Li Xuan grabbed the visitor at the side, and said coldly, "You, lead the way and go to the next door, the Longevity Pavilion."

As soon as the words "Changshengguan" came out, Du Zhongkang's face immediately turned pale, and he felt a little unstable in an instant.

Du Zhongkang raised his head with some difficulty, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Li Xian's extremely cold and angry eyes.

……

Li Xuan stood in front of the Longevity Hall, Li Zhu stood on his left, Dou Xiao stood on his right, and behind him stood five guards of the Nanchang King's Mansion.

Under the walls of the buildings on both sides, there are several children from each family, holding swords in their hands and guarding, ready to rush in at any time.

The door of the building was half closed, and there was silence inside, as if no one was there.

Li Xuan knew that this was because when they surrounded the place before, the people inside had already heard the movement.

But both sides of the Longevity Hall are private houses of powerful people, and the movement here has already alarmed them. If they want to rush in, they will only offend more people, and it will be more difficult for them to escape.

On the opposite side of the Longevity Hall is the Cuju Competition, which is in full swing. The ball court has long stipulated that no one is allowed to disturb the Cuju competition during Cuju. Anyone who violates the rules will be directly beaten and maimed by the guards inside.

Li Xuan turned sideways, looked at the visitor at the side, and asked indifferently: "Do you know who is here?"

Although the welcoming face was ugly, he still cupped his hands and said, "It's a group of merchants from the Western Regions, who seem to be from the tribes of the Western Turks."

Western Turks, why are they from Western Turks?

Everyone present looked at Li Xuan in surprise when they heard what Yingke said.

Although the Western Turks were destroyed in the early years, it was only the destruction of the country, and the remaining countless tribes still survived on the original grassland.

Before, Li Xuan told the crowd personally that what is in it is from Tubo, why is it from the Western Turkic tribe?
Li Xuan ignored everyone's gazes, and asked the guests directly: "When did they arrive in Chang'an, how long have they been in Chang'an, and why did they arrive here, do you know?"

Although Yingke's face was ugly, compared to many children from aristocratic families, he had more experience, and he immediately cupped his hands and said to Li Xuan: "Little man, listen to me, these people came to Chang'an three days ago, but I arrived here yesterday and settled for the Longevity Hall, and today is the time, and I will be here again."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked towards the small courtyard ahead, and said calmly: "It seems that they are here to wait for someone."

Wait for someone, wait for someone, everyone present immediately understood the strangeness.

The business traveler who just came from West Turkic was not really in a hurry to sell his goods, but ran here to wait for someone, and he came here for two consecutive days.

Obviously something is wrong.

"However, my lord, the person they were waiting for hasn't come these two days." The receptionist looked at Li Xuan with some concern.

"It's useless. That person should have been staring at this place all the time. After seeing this king appearing here, he should never come back."

How could it be that Li Xuan didn't understand that the person who was staring at him secretly was very suspicious. When Li Xuan appeared here, the other party's mind was already extremely vigilant, how could it possibly appear again.

It can only be said that Li Xuan was very lucky, he came to Li Xian casually, and unexpectedly met Tubo Xizuo.

A rare person, the entry actually appeared here.

[Anzhu, a native of Western Turkic, a Tubo spy, was ordered to come to Chang'an to investigate information]

Western Turkic people, Tubo works carefully, this is interesting.

"How many people are there, do you remember?" Li Xuan turned her head and asked directly.

The visitor immediately bowed and said: "There are seven people in total. They are wearing scimitars and woolen clothes. They can't see any armor, and they don't have bows and arrows."

Although the Qiuyuan is a place for folk Cuju gambling, all the distinguished guests come and go here. Swords are fine, but bows and crossbows are definitely not.

Li Xuan nodded, looked at the crowd and said: "Listen, kill them in a while, a team of three, surround and kill one person, masters charge first, no need to capture alive, regardless of life or death, how many heads and how many merits you can get, all will be counted. Look at your own abilities."

"Here!" Everyone at the scene immediately became excited, holding knives in their hands, and cupped their hands excitedly.

Although they are just dandies, they also know that killing people and arresting people are two different things.

If they are allowed to arrest people and shrink back, they will inevitably hurt themselves, but if they are only allowed to kill people, their strength can be displayed instead.

……

With a sound of "bang", Li Xuan kicked open the wooden door fiercely, and in an instant, three long arrows were shot towards Li Xuan's chest.

At the same time, three blade lights flew up at the same time, and the three long arrows were cut down in a blink of an eye.

Li Zhu, Li Xuan, and Dou Xiao.

Li Xuan held the Eight-sided Han Sword tightly in his hand, while Li Zhu and Dou Xiao held black standard horizontal swords in their hands.

"Kill!" Li Xuan rushed into the Longevity Hall in an instant, and on the steps ahead, three archers pointed their longbows at them again.

Nock an arrow on the bow.

No one knew how they avoided the search of the ball court and brought in the bow and arrow. The people outside the gate were all stunned when they saw this scene.

But Li Xuan, Li Zhu, and Dou Xiao all seemed to be prepared.

In an instant, the three archers on the opposite side let go of the long arrows in their hands at the same time, and at the same time, several crossbow arrows flew straight out from behind the three of Li Xuan, and shot into the three who couldn't dodge in a blink of an eye. in the chest.

"Ding, ding, ding!" The three weapons were cut out at the same time, and the arrow that flew in front of Li Xuan was already cut down in a blink of an eye.

"The rest are on the second floor, kill." Li Xuan waved his hand, and the next moment, the children from the aristocratic family behind couldn't help but rushed in.

Although they didn't expect these Turks to have bows and arrows in their hands, they all knew that the Western Turks had used up all the bows they could use in their raid on Li Xuan just now.

The sound of fighting suddenly came from above.

Three people are dead, and there are four left. Seven or eight people can deal with four people. Although they may not be able to win, they still can't die for the time being.

"Let's all go up." Li Xuan looked very calm, waved his hand, and asked his five guards to go up with Dou Xiao, and he himself brought Li Zhu to the dead archers.

Li Xuan lowered her body, looked at their fingers, their jaws, and even opened their teeth, and finally sighed softly: "It really is poisonous!"

Careful work, the most important thing is to keep secrets. Although they died under the crossbow arrows, if they are in danger, these three people will definitely commit suicide by biting poison.

"Let's go!" After speaking, Li Xuan immediately went upstairs, and the moment he stepped on the second floor, the killing sound stopped.

The three corpses were lying on the ground bloody. The children of these masters really didn't think it was serious, especially after Li Xuan let them slaughter at will, these people were even more crazy.

There was only one person sitting on the innermost low table, with his head lowered, and black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The wine glass in front of him was stained with pieces of black ash, which were pieces of paper left over from being burned.

This man, at the last moment, used his own life to destroy the message to be delivered.

One step late.

Li Xuan walked up to the corpse, inspected the gnawed teeth, and shook her head slightly.

Looking down at the several pieces of coke that were still connected together in the wine glass, he couldn't help shaking his head: "Unfortunately, it's a waste of time."

Li Xuan turned around immediately, and said in a cold voice, "Go get some papers."

"Here!" The welcoming guest immediately cupped his hands and ran down quickly.

Not long after, a few pieces of paper were taken out, and at the same time, King Li Xian also came.

Watching Li Xuan pour the ashes from the wine glass on top of the wine, Li Xian asked curiously: "Uncle Wang, can these things still be used?"

"It's okay." Li Xuan didn't turn her head.

Li Xian then asked curiously: "Uncle Wang, how did you find out about these Turkic people?"

Li Xuan said indifferently: "While walking through the door, I heard someone inside suddenly speaking Tubo dialect, and you are next door. Tell me, does this king need to be careful?"

Li Xian immediately understood, and said to Li Xuan, "Thank you, Uncle Wang."
