Tuoba Tao used a woman's skirt as a rope and quietly escaped from Tongwan City, which is a very interesting story in itself, and what is even more interesting is that the future Queen Tuoba Tao is Helian Bobo's daughter, who should be in the palace at that time.

These two things are linked, and it seems easy to make people think about it, for example, Tuoba Tao secretly went to Hu Xia's palace, what did he do, how did he get these women's skirts, could it be that Helian Bobo's daughter took a fancy to this handsome young man at that time, and took the initiative to give him the skirt in order to save him, and even secretly took him to the city wall on a small path, thus avoiding the soldiers guarding the city.

This is very likely to happen, after all, Tuoba Tao was only a teenager at that time, and he was very handsome, and he definitely had the ability to charm the spring girl, and it was not impossible for Helian Bobo's daughter to fall in love with him.

And then Tuoba Tao was able to make her queen and let her enjoy the highest honor, which may also be related to the original life-saving grace, which is a reasonable speculation.

Empress Helian's two younger sisters also became Tuoba Tao's wives, and after the fall of the Huxia Empire, the three sisters were able to stay together and live in the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and their noble status and good living conditions were not reduced in the slightest.

If you think about the three sisters together, you may be able to conjure up more interesting stories, such as the handsome and dashing Tuoba Tao, although he wore the clothes of Hu Xia Xiaobing and blended into the palace, but his distinctive temperament still attracted the attention of the three sisters.

They found out about this different little soldier, so they stepped forward to ask the east and west, the three stinkers can top a Zhuge Liang, with the wisdom of the three princesses, how can they not see through the little soldier in front of them is an impostor.

But although they knew that this little soldier was the enemy's spy, the moment they saw him, the girl's heart became uneasy, and they couldn't bear to denounce it, and wanted to protect this man who made their hearts move.

And Tuoba Tao is not an ordinary person, seeing that a few princesses are interesting to him, he said sweetly, which made several princesses happy, and then, made a very tempting promise, let the three princesses let go of themselves, and there will be rewards in the future.

Since the three princesses were devoted to Tuoba Tao, they naturally couldn't bear to harm them, so not only did they not report Tuoba Tao, but also took the initiative to lead the way in front, so that Tuoba Tao and a few people could follow behind them as guards, and use their identity as princesses to easily climb the city wall, so that Tuoba Tao could have a chance to escape.

Because the city wall is too high, if you jump down directly, you will definitely be killed, so the three princesses tore their skirts apart, made a cloth rope, and tied it to a long lance.

And this kindness, Tuoba Tao has always remembered in his heart, he has married countless wives in his life, there are so many beauties, but sadly named the queen is only Helian Bobo's daughter, the queen's two sisters are also high-level nobles, if the honor is not the original life-saving grace, how to explain it?

After all, although Tuoba Tao has married countless wives in his life, most of them are political marriages, and there is no emotion at all, and real feelings need to be witnessed in tribulations, and only by experiencing tribulations together can we have real feelings, and they are very deep feelings.

Of course, all this is just the imagination of future generations, maybe there is no such thing at all, maybe it is just stealing a few skirts and running out, what is going on, only Tuoba Tao and a few of his followers know.

Li An opened his mouth to tell Li Hanlu the story of this speculation, wanting to hear her opinion.

"What a touching story! I can't imagine that there are so many stories in Xiazhou City, Queen Helian is so lucky, she met a man who knows how to reciprocate, by the way, what other stories are here, tell more about it! ”

Li Hanlu seems to prefer to believe that this is true, and is not willing to doubt it.

After all, Xiazhou City is the original Tongwan City of the Hu Xia Empire, and it is a capital city, and there are naturally many stories in it, and there is a place where there is a palace, this story can be missing, it must be indispensable.

Li An casually told a lot of stories, which made Li Hanlu listen to it with relish, and from time to time he would ask questions, asking questions that he didn't understand.

After telling a few stories, the sky was about to tilt westward, and Li An and Li Hanlu did not go back, standing at the head of the city and watching the sunset, which was a very good feeling.

However, before the sun set, one of the guards ran over.

"Is there anything urgent?"

Li An knew that if there was nothing urgent, the guards would not come over to disturb him, and it must be a more important matter.

"Li Shilang, a telegram has just come from the palace, Your Majesty personally inquired, asking Li Shilang how things are going, and he is doing well, whether the return date has been set."

The guard spoke.

When Li An heard this, he looked at Li Hanlu and said, "Your Majesty is quite concerned about me, and it has only been a few days since I left, so I remember it." ”

"Your Majesty personally asked, how does Madame plan to reply?"

Li Hanlu opened his mouth and said.

Li An thought for a while, looked at the guard, and said: "Tell Your Majesty that things are going well, and you will be able to return to the capital within a month. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

The guards ran out of the house.

Looking at the back of the escort running, Li Hanlu opened his mouth and said: "The husband replied like this, will Your Majesty send soldiers and horses to come, after all, Madame just said that there are often horse thieves here, and Your Majesty may be worried about the safety of your husband." ”

"Huh! Wait! Your Majesty will send another telegram later, but fortunately the telegraph machine is nearby, and we can save it. ”

Li An said.

In the Daming Palace, Li Longji, who was idle and bored, began to tinker with telegrams, he first sent a few telegrams to the direction of Luoyang, and then sent telegrams to Li An, and was anxiously waiting for a reply.

"Why haven't you called back, haven't you received it?"

Li Longji asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, it's not been long, it should have been received, but it can't be returned so quickly, and Li Shilang can't squat in front of the telegraph every day, maybe it's a little farther away, so it will take some time."

The little eunuch beside him spoke.

"It's strange to say, when there is no telegraph, if you want to know about Xiazhou, you need a stagecoach to run for many days, and I haven't seen such a hurry, it's only been a while, and I'm actually anxious."

Li Longji opened his mouth and sighed.

The development of science and technology will improve the efficiency of people's work at a geometric rate, which is naturally an exciting thing, but once people adapt to the efficient equipment, there will be higher demand, patience will change, for example, before riding a horse to Xiazhou, back and forth to ten days, may not be anxious after many days, but now the message will be delivered immediately, waiting for a reply will definitely not be more than a day, but people's mood has changed a lot, I feel that since the message can be transmitted instantly, then why not pass the message immediately, Waiting a quarter of an hour more would feel like a waste.

This is the psychological problem of people, a strange thinking, such as spending a dollar to buy a pound of cabbage, and after going back, you find that one or two are missing, that is, you spend a dime more, at this time, people will be very angry and angry, and even go to the vegetable vendor to trouble, and if it is a million house, because of hesitation for a while, it will cost 1.5 million to buy, and there is the possibility of continuing to rise, then people will not hesitate to choose to buy, and even feel that they have made a lot of money.

The loss of a dime for a pound of cabbage makes people worry about it, and it makes people feel that it is worth spending an extra 500,000 yuan to buy a house, and the difference between the two is huge, but it will make people care about small money and ignore big money, which is really a strange thing.

"Your Majesty, Li Shilang called back."

The little eunuch saw that the technician was translating the telegram, so he hurriedly reported.

"There are often horse thieves in Xiazhou? Why haven't I heard, what the hell is going on? ”

Li Longji asked with a frown.

He really didn't have any impression of this matter, after all, he had to deal with so many national affairs every day, and he was very old, so it was normal for him to be able to cover everything and some state affairs to be unclear.

"It's just a little bit of a thief, it's not a big deal, it's normal that Your Majesty doesn't remember, General Guo Ziyi, the deputy envoy of Shuofang, and the eight thousand elites of the department have been stationed in Xiazhou, and the horse thieves can't be bounced for a few days."

The little eunuch knows everything, if he doesn't have this ability, he doesn't dare to serve by the emperor's side, otherwise, he won't know what to ask, so what's the use of you.

"It's just a horse thief, and it seems that the harm is not small if you want to dispatch eight thousand elite Shuofang troops! How long has Guo Ziyi been and how has it been obtained? ”

Li Longji said cautiously.

He felt that since he was a mere thief, he shouldn't use such a large number of troops, and being able to use so many troops seemed to show that this bandit was in a big trouble.

"Your Majesty, General Guo has only been there for about three months, because the horse thieves are hiding in the mountains, and they see that the officers and soldiers are running faster than rabbits, so they have not captured a lot, so they have killed more than a hundred horse thieves, but this time Li Shilang also went, and the good days of horse thieves are coming to an end."

The little eunuch spoke.

"What's the matter, you seem to know something, Li Shilang went to Xiazhou, is the real intention to be a horse thief?"

Li Longji had a feeling that he had been deceived and asked.

The little eunuch saw that he had leaked his mouth, and it was unrealistic to continue to hide what he knew, so he could only speak: "Your Majesty, the little slave also listened to what General Chen of the Long Wujun said, and when he was chatting with the villain, he said that he had leaked his mouth, and the little slave asked again and again, and General Chen told the truth and asked the little slave not to talk nonsense, so the little slave didn't dare to tell Your Majesty." ”

"Oh, Chen Xuanli also knows about this, so he hides it from me, okay, I don't blame you, you go and invite Chen Xuanli over, I want to ask him in person."

Li Longji opened his mouth and said.

Soon, Chen Xuanli entered the main hall, because he already knew what was going on, so he asked for guilt when he entered the door.

"Okay, such a big thing, you shouldn't hide it from me, although the horse thief is not to worry, but in the end he is also a vicious villain, Li Shilang led three hundred guards, it is too little, if he really has itchy hands and wants to fight, I will not stop him, but at least he must bring more soldiers and horses."

Li Longji opened his mouth and said.

"Your Majesty, Xiazhou City has General Guo's eight thousand elites, and the troops are enough to fight against horse thieves, and the minister also proposed to go to Xiazhou, Li Shilang did not agree, he said, just a few horse thieves are not to worry, and three hundred guards under his command are enough to pacify."

Chen Xuanli said.

"Hmph, it's easy to put it, Guo Ziyi has been in Xiazhou for three months, and he can't even figure out where the horse thief's lair is, and how many horse thieves there are in Xiazhou, he is good, he actually wants to use three hundred guards to pacify the horse thief, which is too arrogant."

Li Longji said with some dissatisfaction.

"By the way, what is going on with the horse thieves in Xiazhou City, you can tell me how much you know."

Chen Xuanli really didn't know much about the situation, but the little eunuch knew a lot of news, so he told the emperor about the rampant horse thieves in Qiwu Mountain in Xiazhou in recent years.

"Good! It's good that horse thieves have been rampant in Xiazhou City for several years, robbing countless merchants, and I don't know anything about it. ”

Li Longji actually complained.

But how can anyone else be blamed for this? This can only be blamed on himself, after getting older and older, Li Longji has neglected to intervene in the government affairs, as long as it is not a major matter, the prime minister and the eunuchs around him will do it, and the horse thieves robbing the merchants, it is really not a big deal, the people below will not bother the emperor for such a trivial matter, so the emperor naturally does not know about this matter, and now, he blames the courtiers, it is really unreasonable.

"If Your Majesty is not worried about Li Shilang, the minister is willing to lead the troops to Xiazhou to assist Li Shilang in exterminating the horse thieves there."

Chen Xuanli was also about to go crazy in the capital, and said.

Li Longji thought for a while, and directly ordered: "Send a report to Li Shilang, ask him if the horse thief is difficult to suppress, how many reinforcements are needed, if there is a need, don't be reckless." ”

The telegram was quickly sent and delivered to Ang Lee.

"Well, Your Majesty already knows that we are going to exterminate the horse thieves, and you will send reinforcements to help."

Li An looked at the telegram and said with a smile.

"That's a good thing! General Guo's current strength is overstretched, and it will be easier for the imperial court to send more soldiers and horses to the north, and to exterminate the horse thieves. ”

Li Hanlu opened his mouth and said.

"There may only be one or two thousand horse thieves, for such a small thief, a large number of soldiers and horses are used, it is really a bit of a knife to kill chickens, and a large number of soldiers and horses are easy to startle snakes when they go north, and when the horse thieves are far away, the army can't always be stationed in Xiazhou!"

Li An said.

"Call back to Your Majesty, you don't need to use a knife to kill chickens, if the military is too powerful, the horse thieves will flee far away, and it is always a scourge to keep them, the soldiers and horses under the command of General Guo are enough to exterminate the horse thieves, and there is no need to send more reinforcements."
