Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 204 Anxi's Change (2)

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty consisted of two people, one in the front and the other in the other. They were both standing under the steps in front of the palace gate. They were fat-headed and extremely rich. They were dressed in silk casual clothes. They did not look like envoys, but rather wealthy businessmen. The appearance, in fact, is indeed the case. This person's surname is Su, and his only name is Da. He is a businessman of the Tang Dynasty. There are very few people who don't know Fatty Su's reputation as a long-sleeved and good dancer. Of course, it's all superficial. In fact, Su Da is one of the secret hands that Li Xian sent to the Western Regions a few years ago. Making money in business is just a mission, and it's more The most important mission is to monitor the movements of the Western Regions. There are quite a few people like him in the big cities of the Western Regions, and they are all under the control of the Western Regions. As for the deputy envoys, they don't look like envoys. In front of the gate of the palace, there was no trace of formality that officials usually have, but a lot of knight-errant spirit. This person is unexpectedly Luo Tong!
It has been ten days since Luo Tong arrived in Khotan City. Long before Li Xian launched the Qinghai Raider, Luo Tong had sneaked into Khotan City with Neiying's support, found Fatty Su, and took the hidden treasures on his body. The imperial decree was handed over to him, and under Fatty Su's planning, the two of them transformed themselves into envoys and deputy envoys of the Tang Dynasty. Bajingdi met with Fu Jiaxiong, handed in the letter of credence, and conveyed Tang Gaozong's promise to Fu Jiaxiong and even Khotan. The forces of the Western Regions blocked the passage for Tubo to enter the Western Regions - the Kunlun Mountain Pass.

nervous?Not at all, Luo Tong has always been courageous, even in the enemy camp at this moment, Luo Tong is still very relaxed, because he has absolute confidence in Li Xian's judgment, after all these years, he has witnessed Li Xian's various actions that can be called miraculous, the personality worship of Li Xian has long been deeply rooted in his bone marrow. In his opinion, as long as Li Xian says that there is no danger, he will surely be safe. The progress of the current situation Sure enough, just as Li Xian expected earlier, Luo Tong has absolute confidence in completing the mission, so even in the face of this interview that is about to determine his fate, Luo Tong is still there, and he looks quite At this moment, Fatty Su in the city manor was very restless. Although he didn't act too abnormally, his frequent movements of wiping his sweat revealed the extreme tension in his heart.

"Envoy Su, Deputy Envoy Luo, Xiao Wang is one step late, Haihan, Haihan."

While Su Da was anxiously waiting, Yu Chixuan walked out of the palace alone, and he apologized loudly and sincerely before he got down the steps.

"Your Highness, you are welcome. The waiter has just arrived, and I dare not trouble you to come to greet me in person. It's a sin, a sin." Su Da's true nature, when speaking of these clichés, he is very smooth, and it is not lost as an envoy of the court should be. Generosity.

"Senior envoys, please!"

It was related to the overall situation, Yu Chixuan didn't have the pleasure of exchanging pleasantries, he smiled faintly, stopped talking nonsense, turned sideways, made a "please" gesture, and let Su and Luo into the palace gate.

"Your Highness, what's the situation? Has Your Majesty made a decision?"

Su Da was full of worries at this moment, but because there were many guards at the gate of the palace before, it was not easy to ask questions rashly. Now that he entered the palace, taking advantage of no one around, Su Da didn't care about politeness, and hurried straight to the topic And went.

"Not yet, my father is still hesitating. I don't know if the envoy Su has any bargaining chips in his hand? If he can take it out at this time, it may be possible." Yu Chizhen really wanted to join the Tang Dynasty, so he said it Very straightforward.

"This……"

Su Da is named as an envoy, but in fact he doesn't know much about the overall situation. He just followed the orders. What's more, it's not that he, Su Da, can speak indiscriminately about such important military and state affairs. Hearing Yu Chixuan's question like this, Su Da immediately became speechless, and turned his head to look at Luo Tong unconsciously.

"Hey, my Highness has only one sentence to tell you: I, Tang Su, value kindness and righteousness. I am an enemy or a friend. You choose yourself." Luo Tong shrugged his shoulders indifferently, smiled coldly, and gave an answer that was not s answer.

"Xiao Wang understands, Deputy Envoy Luo can rest assured, Xiao Wang will try his best to fight for it, so that he will not disappoint His Royal Highness King Zhou's kindness."

Although the purpose of Yu Chixuan's asking that question earlier was that he sincerely wanted to get things done, but he also had the intention of sitting on the ground and raising the price. Now that Luo Tong pushed back so forcefully, he couldn't help being silent for a long time. Then his face became serious, and he made a promise in a sincere tone.

"I hope so. My Highness has another statement. If your country is sincere to my Tang Dynasty, my Tang Dynasty will send more than [-] elites to guard Nachitai to ensure that your country will not be invaded by Tubo." Luo Tong was expressionless. Nodded, and then gave a final promise.

"If this is the case, there will be no worries for our country. My father will definitely be able to make a decision. Two envoys, please!"

Hearing that the Tang Dynasty would mobilize such a large number of troops to guard the checkpoint, the last trace of worry in Yu Chixuan's heart disappeared. Overjoyed, his face was full of unconcealable joy, he waved his hands excitedly, and made another "" Please" gesture, Su and Luo didn't give in much when they saw this, and walked to the study silently accompanied by Yu Chixuan.

"Father, the Tang envoy has arrived."

In the study room, Fu Yuxiong sat behind a few chairs in an extremely calm manner, holding a book in his hand, reading it extremely intently, seemingly fascinated, he didn't pay attention to the movement around him at all, naturally he "didn't" see it. The arrival of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and Su and Luo were not in a hurry, they just stood aside so comfortably, not paying attention at all, after a moment of stalemate, Yu Chixuan really couldn't stand it anymore, had to bite the bullet and act Going forward, reminded me in a low voice.

"Oh? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiao Wang was distracted for a while, and didn't know that the two envoys had arrived. It's a sin, a sin."

Hearing Yu Chixuan's suggestion, Fu Yuxiong stood up as if he had just woken up from a dream, walked up to Su and Luo in a few strides, and cupped his hands in apologetic apology.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the calm and calmness of the lord of the country has the demeanor of Jin people in the Central Plains. It is true that Mount Tai has collapsed and the color has not changed. Su admires, admires." Although Su Da has never been an official, but because of business Because of this, he spends a lot of time hanging out in the officialdom, so he can understand the meaning behind Fu Yuxiong's pretending to be calm, so he replied with a smile, and the words faintly pointed out the intention of Fu Yuxiong's move , is nothing more than raising the price.

"Hehe, envoy Su was joking. Xiao Wang is just having fun in bitterness. The ancestors of your country said that there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. Xiao Wang is just trying to find it. Look at that Where is all the gold hidden?"

Fu Jiaxiong is a hero, so he would not be embarrassed by being exposed by Su Da on the spot. On the contrary, he followed Su Da's topic and extended it, making it clear that if he does not see rabbits, he will not scatter eagles. Obviously , in Fu Yuxiong's view, the situation at this time should be the Tang Dynasty's emergency, not Fu Yuxiong's. In this case, if it is not easy to knock on the bamboo pole, it means that after passing this village, there will be no such shop.

"It's amazing that the lord knows the scriptures well, but there is a saying in our country that stealing a chicken is not enough to lose a handful of rice, but I don't know if the lord has heard of it?" Luo Tong is not as tactful as Su Da. Hearing that Fu Jiaxiong was circling around there, trying to get out, he immediately felt angry, sneered, and said in a very angry way.

Luo Tong's words were really not pleasant to hear. Rao Fu Yuxiong, who is as thick as a city wall, can't bear it anymore, but it's not easy to get angry, and his face immediately looks a little ugly. Su Da Seeing this, he hurriedly smiled and interrupted: "So that the lord of the country can know that Su has just received the latest news that General Ashina has led his troops to take down Gaochang City, and is moving troops to Loulan to join General Li. With the soldiers in one place, Loulan is about to go down."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Fu Jiaxiong had never received this military report, and when he heard that Ashina Daozhen and Li Jinxing had joined forces in Loulan, he was immediately taken aback. He didn't care to argue with Luo Tong, and questioned in doubt——Tang Jun's Fu Yuxiong knew exactly how the combat power was. Originally, he thought it was impossible for the Tang army to meet the two armies before this winter, so he was not in a hurry to express his position, but he never expected that Gaochang, a fortified city, would actually He couldn't hold out for three days. If the two Tang armies join forces now, the little Loulan may not be able to resist the Tang army's advance. Once the Tang army's north route is stable, he will be free to deal with him in Khotan immediately. In this situation, how can Fu Jiaxiong remain calm and composed.

"It's true!"

Su Da did not explain the source of the news, but nodded with great certainty, and replied with a happy face.

"Father, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has promised that once I can raise the flag of righteousness in Khotan, he will send [-] elite soldiers to guard the Nachitai pass. If so, I will have no worries in Khotan!" Seeing his father's confusion, Yu Chixuan, who was determined to vote for Tang, refused to let go of such a good opportunity to speak up. As soon as Su Da finished speaking, he stood up from the side and hurriedly added a handful of firewood.

"Father, you can't hesitate any longer. Let's fight. Those wild dogs are nothing. Let's talk about it after we've done it!" Seeing his brother's statement, Yuchi dared not to be left behind. He took a step forward and stood side by side with his brother, with an excited expression on his face yelled.

"Well……"

Fu Yuxiong's heart was already in chaos, but when he was disturbed by the news brought by Yu Chixuan, the chaos was added to the chaos. The words of promise were already on the verge of his lips, but when he thought about the consequences of failure, he would promise again. The words were swallowed back into his stomach, his face changed and he kept thinking, and he didn't say a word for a long time...
