Lema stopped at the top of the mountain and looked back at the way he came.

The peak here is not steep, the slope from the water level is only thirty degrees, and the horses can easily run up, when Li An first came, he also found this road, but there are many roads here, he thought that this road to the top of the mountain was just an ordinary road, and he never thought that there would be a valley of considerable scale behind the peak.

"A most inconspicuous hilltop path is the real road to the valley, and who would have thought that if it had not been known in advance? It's a great place to hide. ”

"What the eldest brother said is that if it hadn't been for the farmer's notice, we would definitely not have paid attention to this path."

Li An looked back at the road, then looked at the valley in front of him, and sighed: "If you hide tens of thousands of troops in this grand canyon, do you think they will be discovered?" ”

"As long as you enter quietly and block the way in and out, I think it will be difficult to spot!"

Li An's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, and he sighed happily: "Let's go, enter the valley." ”

A group of more than ten horsemen, under the leadership of Li An, rode into the vast valley.

Enjoying the beautiful scenery and breathing fresh air along the way, everyone's mood is very high, and Li An is also quite emotional, if there is no more dispute in the world, it is also a good choice to cultivate a few acres of arable land in this valley, raise a few chickens and ducks, and live a good life with his family.

However, after only thinking about it for a short time, Ang Lee shook his head and denied his thoughts.

'The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. ’

People in the world are busy seeking profits, and as long as there are interests, there will be disputes, ranging from disputes over food to wars for the country.

Interests are everywhere, as long as there are people where there are interests, it is human nature to chase interests, if you want to find a paradise without the conflict of interests, maybe only like Tao Yuanming, alone in the mountains.

But when people really stay away from the conflict of interests and live alone, will they necessarily feel happy? Of course not, maybe only when you just left will feel comfortable, but after a long time, there will inevitably be a feeling of loneliness in your heart.

People are creatures that chase interests, and at the same time, they are also social creatures living in groups, and once they leave the group and leave the troublesome conflict of interests, life will become extremely monotonous and lonely.

If there is no dispute, how can you prove that you are still alive if you have no troubles.

If everyone wants to live an idyllic life, who will protect the interests of Datang. ’

Li An shook his head slightly, discarded the idea of passive escapism, collected his mood, and prepared to meet the challenge of saving the sinking Tang Empire.

"Big brother, there is a military camp five miles ahead, and the three phases may be there."

Li An had already seen the military camp five miles away, but Zhao Jingnong's temper was a little strange, and it was really difficult to say where he lived.

"There is a kind of old man in front of me, I will get off the horse and ask you, you stay where you are."

In order not to scare the people, Li Ang decided to walk alone, so that the people's nervousness could be eliminated and they could not speak because they were afraid.

With the experience just now, as soon as Li An opened his mouth, he used the standard Tibetan language to ask the old man who farmed the land where the three phases lived.

"The little Tang military captain, Tubo dialect is so good, is it really not simple?"

Unexpectedly, this old farmer directly praised him in standard Datang language.

"The old uncle and the Tang official said it so smoothly, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary farmer!"

Li An carefully looked at the old farmer in front of him, but found that he was no different from ordinary farmers, with dark skin, rough hands, and rustic appearance, no matter how you look at it, he is an honest farmer, and he really can't see any superior status.

However, ordinary farmers will never take the time to learn the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no such condition.

'Could this inconspicuous-looking old man be the three-phase Zhao Jingnong? ’

Li An suddenly thought of the father of rice in later generations, who seemed to be also an image of a peasant, and he couldn't see the bearing and arrogance of a scholar at all.

"Sanxiang is not free today, Captain Li should come back another day!"

The old farmer waved his hand and continued to wave the hoe in his hand.

'A little farmer, how did he know that the three phases were not available. ’

Li An's head felt a little, and he arched his hand and said: "Li An has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, and he still hopes to forgive his sins." ”

The old man stopped hoeing the land, slowly looked up at Li An, and pretended to be puzzled: "Captain Li, are you calling me?" ”

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I think that you are the three phases." ”

"Oh, how so?"

The old farmer said, continuing to hoe.

Li An raised a finger: "First of all, the person who can speak the official language of the Tang Dynasty must not be an ordinary farmer, but a person with status, and secondly, if you are not Sanxiang himself, how dare you reject me instead of Sanxiang?" ”

"Hahaha! Captain Li is really smart, no wonder those Tibetan assassins can't hurt you in the slightest, and the treacherous people can't blame Tang Jun. ”

The old man laughed and praised Li An, of course, he also defaulted to being the three-phase Zhao Jingnong.

"The three phases live in this paradise, but they also know the things of the world, and Li Ang admires them very much."

"Eh, I'm just idle and bored, hearing some things outside, how can I know the world's major events."

Zhao Jingnong still put on a humble posture, as if he was a farmer.

Li An looked at the front and back, frowned and said: "The status of the three phases is noble, and if you work here alone, you are not afraid of danger." ”

"Dangerous, how could it be? There are usually no outsiders intruding here, and of course, not everyone has the vision of Captain Li and can recognize me with just a few words, haha! ”

Zhao Jingnong whistled as he spoke, and suddenly, more than a dozen elite soldiers rushed out of the field not far away, looked at Li An vigilantly, and let Li Kunxiong and others, who did not know the truth, also hurriedly rode their horses over.

"Sanxiang has been prepared for a long time, it seems that Li An is too worried."

Li An smiled indifferently and arched his hand: "Since the three prime ministers already know the situation outside, they should also know the meaning of the humble position, then the humble position will be blunt." ”

After spreading out the map in his arms, Li An pointed to the map and gave a detailed introduction to the overall situation currently facing the Eastern Women's Kingdom, externally, mainly the struggle for hegemony between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and the Eastern Women's Kingdom was unconsciously affected, and the situation was quite dangerous.

In the queen city, two-for-tat forces have also been formed, the great minister Zhao Daiwen and the fourth minister Zhao Hui took refuge in Tubo and the great discussion of Wuyan Guo, and Zhao Wufu chose to join forces with Li An in order to safeguard the interests of the Eastern Women's Kingdom.

In addition, there is also the second-phase Zhao Yafu, who defended against the invasion of Tibet on the northwest border, and the third-phase Zhao Jingnong, who is still farming with peace of mind.

"Captain Li is united with the Five Phases, and his strength surpasses that of the Great Minister, and he still needs the help of me, a farmer?"

"To maintain the Dongnu Kingdom from being annexed by Tibet, the three prime ministers have this responsibility."

"Haha! Captain Li is really sharp-toothed. ”

Zhao Jingnong smiled: "Actually, as early as two months ago, I already knew that the Great Prime Minister and the Fourth Prime Minister had taken refuge in Tibet, but I didn't do anything, and I didn't want to ask." ”

Li An was stunned: "What do you mean by the three phases?" ”

Zhao Jingnong waved his hand lightly and retreated left and right, and took Li An to walk and chat.

"Captain Li should know that most of the people of my Dongnu Kingdom speak the Tubo language, this is because our Dongnu Country and Tubo have a common ancestor, we are all descendants of the Qiang people, we are born from the same root, why be too anxious to fry each other, if Tubo and Dongnu Kingdom merge into one, it will not be a good thing."

Li An was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that Zhao Jingnong would be able to say such a thing, but it sounded like there was a little bit of truth.

"In this way, the three phases are also heart-to-heart?"

Zhao Jingnong shook his head lightly: "I only hope that the people of the East Woman Country can live a stable and good life, if they are attached to Tibet, they can be exempted from the disaster of swords, of course I support it, but if it causes chaos within the East Woman Country, how can I support it, even if the ancestors of the two countries are of the same race." ”

When Li An heard this, he immediately understood Zhao Jingnong's thoughts, he is a person who cares about the people, and the interest he pursues is to let the people of Dongnu Country live a good life, and the current situation is very bad, no matter how he chooses, Dongnu Country does not seem to be stable.

The Great Prime Minister and the Fourth Prime Minister defected to Tibet, while the Second and Fifth Phases were on Li An's side, and the continued hostility between the two sides was bound to bring endless damage to the Eastern Women's Kingdom, but the two sides had not yet had a formal showdown, so they had not yet caused damage.

Now that he knows the ideal that Zhao Jingnong pursues in his heart, Li An must use this to convince Zhao Jingnong to stand on his side.

"The three ministers are dedicated to the sake of the people, Li An admires it very much, but in order to frame the Tang Army, the prime minister actually instructed his henchmen to slaughter nearly 100 ordinary people in six households, the cruelty of the means is outrageous, just imagine, once this kind of person ascends to the position of the king of a country, can the people of Dongnu still live a good life?"

Zhao Jingnong sighed slightly: "Captain Li, I know far more about the Great Minister, the Great Minister is not such a heinous person, this must be the bad idea of Wu Yan Guo, he agreed to do this for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of the overall situation, ruthlessness is only a temporary means, if the Great Minister gets the throne, he will never slaughter the people for no reason." ”

Li An was stunned when he heard this, he found that he underestimated Zhao Jingnong, this three-phase of the East Female Kingdom who looks like a farmer, thinks calmly and carefully, and sees the problem very thoroughly, far more than the other four phases, if you want to persuade him to support him, it seems that it will not work without a lot of effort.
