Chapter 527 The Wind in Chang'an

Walking slowly all the way, Qin Mubai strolled around the city of Samo.

Although this city is not as grand and magnificent as Chang'an's rules, it is also prosperous, especially business travel is extremely active. Walking on this street, the most seen are the Sogdians dressed in Islamic traditional white robes and hair oil-painted with hair. Needless to say, a minor child or an old man sitting on the door along the way will also sell Western specialties of the Western region, such asser and agate or wine horses. . Seeing that Qin Mubai looked like a person from the Central Plains, many people scrambled to ask him if he had brought silk or ceramics from the Central Plains in exchange.

The silk, ceramics and tea of the Tang Dynasty, as well as paintings, armor and wineware, are all the top goods on the Western Regions, and the profits are extremely huge.

It is said that after Kang Guo's child is born, his family will put honey on his mouth first. The intention is to make it easy for him to do business when he grows up. Therefore, walking on the streets of Kangguo, everyone smiles face to face, everyone is kind, and it is difficult to see a fight all year round, not to mention such a vicious incident as killing and arson.

Such a rich, lively, harmonious and stable place is undoubtedly particularly suitable for living. Qin Mubai now understands why Wu Mei Niang came to Kangguo without any effort. She just wants that one day after Qin Mubai retires, the whole family will move to Kangguo, a paradise to take care of the world.

In the eyes of Kangguo people, commercial profit is everything. Businessmen all pay attention to peace as the most precious and harmony to make money. Therefore, Kangju Kingdom resisted war from kings to people, so it was quite weak and incompetent militarily, which was a natural thing.

Qin Mubai thought all the way that the nine countries of Zhaowu wanted to unite as one country, which was a good thing for the Tang Dynasty. Having a unified big family as a friendly neighbor is much easier than managing nine small vassal countries. These nine small countries in the Western Regions of the same origin all have the same characteristics: good at business, rich countries, and weak military.

Now the people of the nine countries have a strong Kansai army to help, which happens to form a complementarity.

This is indeed a good time for the alliance of nine countries. Now the two sides win each other. As long as Qin Mubai agrees to make up for this matter, it is bound to get along well.

As Yuan Tianguang said, it is a good thing to be public and private. But Qin Mubai also had a little concern, and the reason was Wu Mei Niang.

Looking at the current situation, Wu Mei Niang seems to be very enthusiastic about being the first auxiliary military aircraft minister of Kangguo. In other words, this woman is not born extraordinary. She has the heart to win as well as men, and she strives to be outstanding in everything she does.

If she has the throne of Kangguo, then, with her ability, she can really do it. Otherwise, she will not be the only female emperor in Chinese history!

Originally, it didn't matter who was the king of Kang. But because Wu Mei Niang is Qin Mubai's wife, what kind of attitude will the Tang court have to be king in the Western Regions as a **?

This possibility cannot be ruled out. In the eyes of the imperial court and Li Shimin, in fact, it was Qin Mubai who was said to be the king!

The nature of that matter has completely changed!

......

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai felt that the unification of the nine countries and the king of Wu Mei Niang must be handled carefully. If something is not right, it is likely to cause a fire at the end of the war.

"To be a man, don't forget the original!" Qin Mubai took a deep breath and sighed, and said to himself, "In my current strength and prestige, it is indeed possible to divide the Western Regions as the king, and even establish a great empire that is enough to fight against the Tang Dynasty!" ...But I never thought of betraying the Tang Dynasty. I don't want to be a traitor!"

Returning to the barracks, Qin Mubai fell asleep.

Yesterday, he first went to the "bridal chamber" and then went to see Yuan Tianang. Basically, he didn't sleep all night. Coupled with the few days before, he was really a little tired.

The left and right generals did not dare to disturb him. It was not until the evening that a fast horse secret envoy from Lanzhou came to see Qin Mubai. Xiao Xuanwu and Zhu Bancheng, the two generals who were left behind by Sa Mojian, dared to wake up Qin Mubai.

"The secret envoy from Lanzhou?" Qin Mubai answered in a daze, and suddenly woke up and sat up, "Are you from Lanzhou? - Call quickly!"

The secret envoy was called in and very familiar. It turned out to be a small school in Xiangzhou Military Mansion before, and he was Pang Fei's confidant.

After the visit, the little school hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, which contained a piece of oil paper.

This is a special "secret letter" paper for Baiqi. It must be soaked in a special potion to show the handwriting.

It can be seen that what Pang Fei wants to report is indeed a top-secret matter.

Qin Mubai quickly took the potion and read the letter.

The letter is actually very simple. The court urgently summoned Li Ke, the king of Wu, to return to Beijing. Moreover, shortly after Qin Mubai left, Chu Suiliang was ordered to "inspect Lanzhou" and invited Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang to return to Beijing. Since Qin Mubai has already led the army to the Western Regions, Princess Gaoyang has gone to the capital alone.

Qin Mubai's eyebrows were tightened at once.

"Do you have any trust with General Pang?" Qin Mubai asked the small school.

The primary school replied, "General Pang said that if you want a young commander, you don't have to worry about Lanzhou. But General Pang really can't handle the matter in the court. In addition, three days before the departure of the last general, King Wu had left Luo and went to Lanzhou, and it was a simple suit, even the Lanzhou officials did not know about it. If the King of Wu hadn't been to visit Princess Gaoyang, her nephew and daughter, even General Pang would not have known.

"Is the action so top secret?" Qin Mubai was even more suspicious, "Is the king of Wu returning to the capital privately? No, if he went back to Beijing without permission, how could he run to my house? It obviously smelled like informing me..."

"Did the King of Wu leave anything?"

"There is not a word." The small school replied, "He didn't see Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang, so he hugged the prince and played with the small building for a while, and immediately left Lanzhou. According to the young commander's house, he should have gone to Chang'an, accompanied by no more than ten people. Mrs. Chen felt that this matter was unusual, so she asked General Pang to report it to the young commander.

"Chen Yan has always been careful and sensitive. It seems that King Wu was quite low-key and cautious this time, and he didn't reveal a word to my family and Pang Fei. Qin Mubai frowned and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he was shocked!

"General Pang can send someone to escort King Wu all the way?" Qin Mubai suddenly asked.

He scared the little colonel and quickly replied, "General Pang saw that King Wu intended to hide his whereabouts, and it was not easy to go to the meeting. However, a general named Yin Yang accompanied by the King of Wu seemed to be particularly familiar with General Pang. When King Wu went to the young commander's mansion, Yin Yang came to see General Pang in private. The two gathered for a moment and the King of Wu was about to leave. General Pang secretly sent a 50-man guard to patrol Shang Yi and arrest the fugitives. He went east on the same road with the king of Wu and secretly protected the king of Wu along the way.

"It's only fifty people?" Qin Mubai was a little unhappy.

"The young commander can rest assured. It is fifty snow sculpture soldiers dressed as ordinary governors. The Snow Sculpture Army is the elite of our Kansai Army, and all of them are in one block. The small school replied hurriedly.

"Oh, that's almost enough..." Qin Mubai was slightly relieved. Pang Fei has always been careful, and now he is getting more and more sophisticated.

The small colonel continued, "The last general estimated that General Yin Yang must have made a request for an escort to General Pang, but he could not do it too clearly. That's why General Pang arranged it this way. However, our people can only escort King Wu to Huizhou at the farthest distance!"

"That's right. Our people and horses can't go east and leave the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of Lanzhou. That is, the private transfer of troops and horses!" Qin Mubai cut his back with his hand and paced back and forth, meditating.

He believes that Li Ke, the king of Wu, will definitely not leave his post without permission and leave for Chang'an without permission. The reason for the start must be because of the call of the imperial court, and it is a secret call. Otherwise, Li Ke will not be careful all the way like a thief, and no one dares to be alarmed.

However, Li Ke seemed to be a little worried about the safety of his trip, so he deliberately set foot in Lanzhou. He didn't dare to ask Lanzhou for the protection of the guard, but he secretly "invited" Pang Fei to send someone to escort him.

So, Li Ke's trip is not easy. First, it is quite top secret, second, it has a great mission. Third, he is in risk of his life on the way!

Qin Mubai was shocked: Did the emperor secretly call Li Ke back to Beijing in order to be a crown prince?!

In the Tang Dynasty, the East Palace has been vacant for more than a long time, which is a very inappropriate thing. Now that the war has calmed down, there is nothing wrong with the imperial court. The matter of establishing a reserve is bound to rise to the surface again, and there is no way to avoid it!

Although it is not known who Li Shimin will be the crown prince, it can be seen from his secret call to Li Ke back to Beijing that Li Ke may be one of the candidates to become a crown prince!

Then, it can be imagined that someone will want to kill him on his way back to Beijing! But Li Ke can't be too ostentatious and dare not bring too many troops with him. So he had to go to Lanzhou and seek the protection of Lanzhou.

However, Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang were not there at this time. Fortunately, Pang Fei was cautious and safe, which made Qin Mubai a little relieved.

This information sent by Pang Fei is very important to Qin Mubai. Thinking about it, Li Ke made a short stop in Lanzhou on his way back to Beijing. Although it was just like a flash and did not leave a few words, he has sent a very important message to Qin Mubai - "I'm going to Chang'an to gamble my life. Take care!"

Compared with the battle of the Eastern Palace of the Tang Dynasty, the famous food coach Nuerman, Zhaowu Jiuguo and Wu Mei Niang as king are not so important.

"Come on!" Qin Mubai called.

"The end will be!" Xiao Xuanwu and Zhu Bancheng listened to the order together.

"I will order Su Dingfang on the front line and order him to send someone to make peace with Nuerman!" Qin Mubai said, "The standard for peace is that Kangguo and Dashi do not serve each other, do not pay tribute to each other, and get along equally. The two countries take the Sam River as the boundary, and from then on they will not invade each other and have friendly exchanges. Who dares to betray the alliance and breach the contract? The Tang Dynasty is bound to fight with 400,000 strong soldiers in Kansai, and it will not end!"

"Yes!"

The second general agreed together, and the accompanying room joined the army and quickly wrote down the military order said by Qin Mubai.

"Sent a message to Su Dingfang, so that he might as well give Nuerman more specialties of the Central Plains and the treasures of Kangguo, so that he can have a step down and go back so that he can explain to their king." After saying that, Qin Mubai took down a treasure knife hanging on the handsome tent and said, "This is the treasure knife given to me by the emperor himself when I was elected as a hundred knights. Give it to Nullman. Just tell him that I, Qin, welcome him to the Tang Dynasty as a guest and is willing to make him a friend.

"Uh..." Xiao and Zhu Er were stunned and said, "Young commander, this is the precious knife given by your majesty. You have always carried your beloved things with you. Can't you take it to please Nuerman? Are we still afraid that he won't do it!"

"If you don't want to say more, who have you ever been afraid of, Qin and the Kansai Army?" Qin Mubai stared at them coldly and said, "It's just an urgent matter. Now we don't have time to pay attention to cannibals. We must make an alliance and truce as soon as possible. Tell Su Dingfang that after the alliance, only the original Kangguo army will be stationed at the Sam River Port Pass, and let him and Yuwen Hongtai lead the army back to Samojian as soon as possible and join me!"

"Yes!" The second general's expression suddenly became solemn, and his heart was also chilly at the same time: The young commander is concentrating the strength of the Kansai army. Will there be a big battle to fight recently?!

"Don't guess and don't spread false information everywhere. If the messenger goes to the Sam River, you can't talk nonsense and confuse the hearts of the army!" Qin Mubai said sternly, "Those who violate the order will be severely punished!"

"Yes!"

"Let's go do something!"

General Xiao Zhu'er left with promise. Qin Mubai chatted with his primary school for a while and learned something about Lanzhou, so he arranged for him to go down and have a rest.

Chang'an, there is finally a trace of wind.

Although Qin Mubai is thousands of miles away from Sa Mojian, he can already imagine how fierce the Chang'an court is at this moment.

In those years, Li Shimin forced his father to ascend the throne through the change of Xuanwumen. Fengshui has flowed to today. When Li Ke returned to Beijing, if the King of Wei in Chang'an didn't do anything special, he would not be the "insidious fat man" in Li Daozong's mouth!

Qin Mubai began to worry about Li Ke...
