The majestic Vermilion Bird Gate is located on the central axis of Chang'an City, is the south gate of the imperial city, because the Vermilion Bird in the four elephants represents the south and gets its name, and together with the Danfeng Gate and the Mingde Gate, it constitutes the main gate of the Imperial City of Chang'an City, the Palace City of Daming Palace and the Chang'an City of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

As the main gate of the Imperial Castle, Suzaku Gate has five doorways that represent the highest specifications.

On weekdays, officials enter and exit are four doorways on the left and right, the largest doorway in the middle is rarely opened, only the emperor goes out on patrol or holds a major celebration, this opens the middle doorway, it is not an exaggeration to say that as long as the doorway in the middle of the Suzaku Gate is opened, there will definitely be something big.

On the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, the gate that had always been closed suddenly opened, and soon, the people of Chang'an, surprised to see Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, personally sent out the Sulu Khan of Tuqishi.

Today is the day when Sulu Khan returns to Anxi.

is about to return to his hometown, but for some reason, Sulu Khan has a faint sense of loss.

Datang is getting stronger and stronger, and every time he faces the saint, he finds that Datang is stronger than the last time, which is a good thing for Tuqishi, the stronger the allies, the more benefits they get.

This time, Li Longji's reward was still very rich, but Sulu Khan couldn't be happy.

The most beloved Baili Chasing Wind, not only lost 500 in the competition, but also ran away, a horse that can't run, it's useless to look good, after being injured in Baili Chasing Wind, he died after struggling for two days, Sulu Khan buried it in pain, and replaced the mount with a Dawan horse that can only be considered good, and his emotions were a little inadequate.

When he thought that his most beloved horse was gone, he felt lost, but when he saw that there were still donkeys in his team, his face changed suddenly, and the green tendons on his forehead came out.

Shame on you, those fellows, thinking that they were sure to win, in order to make more money, they bet their weapons and horses away, and when they lost all their horses, they pooled their money to buy relatively cheap donkeys to use.

Ride a donkey back to Anxi, don't you lose face?

"Your Majesty, please stay, don't dare to send it far away from Your Majesty." Out of the Suzaku Gate, An Lu Khan said respectfully.

Datang is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and some foreign missions, sometimes it is difficult to meet them, it would be good to let Li Longji send them out of Danfeng Gate, and now they are all sent to Zhuque Gate, which is already very face-saving.

"Don't worry, it's not easy for Aiqing to come to the capital once, I want to give Aiqing another ride." After Li Longji finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "Come on, prepare the horse." ”

Soon, Gao Lishi personally led Li Longji's purple lightning thunder, Li Longji patted his beloved horse with some complicated feelings, refused Gao Lishi's help, held the saddle with one hand, raised his foot and stepped on the stirrup, pulled, stepped on, and turned over on the horse very skillfully.

Sulu Khan's face was slightly red, and a look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he hid his feelings well, and rode the Dawan horse that had just arrived from his men as if he were fine.

In the first three games, his own 100-mile chasing wind won Li Longji's purple lightning thunder, and his attitude was a little carried away at the time, but now 100-mile chasing wind has become a memory, but Li Longji's purple lightning thunder is still alive.

It seems a little ironic.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty seems to still hate his arrogance that day, and Sulu Khan has some bad feelings in his heart, but he still pretends to be nothing.

After Li Longji rode the purple lightning thunder, he didn't seem to notice the face of the Sulu Khan, but while riding a horse, he talked to the Sulu Khan about some things about the Anxi Protectorate.

The emperor personally saw him off, and the civil and military officials did not dare to slack off, and the horsemen on horseback, the chariots, and the Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Guard followed behind in a mighty manner, and the people of Chang'an saluted Li Longji while spontaneously seeing off the Sulu Khan.

As the deputy envoy of the reception, Zheng Peng looked left and right in the team, Wang Changming rode over, saw Zheng Peng was a little absent-minded, and asked: "Zheng Lezheng, what are you looking at, are you okay?" ”

Zheng Peng said a little strangely: "Wang Siqing, you came just in time, why can't you find her when you see that the county lord of Lando is not?" ”

A miserable girl-level beauty with a mysterious temperament of an alien race and long legs, she is about to leave Chang'an, and she can't see it if she wants to see it in the future, Zheng Peng wants to take a few more looks, but she can't find Landuo.

"What you said, I also wondered, at the farewell banquet in the palace, I really didn't see the Lord of Lando, maybe it was a woman disguised as a man mixed in the group of guards, or a group of Tuqi Shi warriors in the barracks waiting at Baqiao." Wang Siming guessed.

The status of women in the Tang Dynasty is not high, and Lan Duo was not there at the farewell banquet, and Wang Changming didn't care too much.

Hearing Wang Changming say this, Zheng Peng had no doubts.

This Lan Duo, to be honest, is even more difficult than Guo Ketang, she is not a peaceful person.

Wang Changming suddenly asked: "I almost forgot, Zheng Lezheng, where is there no problem with you about the send-off, right?" ”

"No problem, I rehearsed this morning, and it's all arranged." Zheng Peng hurriedly said.

"That's for the best." Wang Changming nodded with satisfaction, then patted the horse and left, busy with other things.

Li Longji did not send it to himself, but sent it to Baqiao, which is about fifteen miles away from Chang'an.

Here is the "holy land" of Chang'an's farewell, and many people send them off here, and then fold the willows to say goodbye, expressing their reluctance.

Sulu Khan is a "Tang Tong", as soon as he saw that Baqiao had arrived, he immediately saluted Li Longji and said: "Your Majesty, as the old saying goes, send you a thousand miles, you need to say goodbye in the end, please stay Your Majesty." ”

Li Longji personally sent it here, this is already a big face, and Sulu Khan does not dare to let Li Longji send it again.

This year's situation is a bit special, the border is a little unstable, Tubo and Dashi hooked up together, Datang and Tubo were originally a tug-of-war, and now there is another powerful Dashi, and the pressure is even greater.

The greater the pressure, the more important it is.

Tubo and Da Shi, I don't know how many letters were secretly written, and how many people were sent to persuade Tuqi Shi to draw a clear line with the Tang Dynasty, but Sulu Khan has always sternly refused, and also took the initiative to report to the imperial court, and in this case, Li Longji will personally send it to Baqiao.

Li Longji nodded, turned over and dismounted.

Seeing Li Longji dismount, the Sulu Khan did not dare to look down at Li Longji to speak, and saw that he dismounted, and the generals, civil and military officials, who followed, also dismounted.

"Aiqing, your horse can only be regarded as middle and upper, riding it back to Anxi, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it." After Li Longji dismounted, he suddenly spoke.

Stingy, or the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how many words do you have to damage yourself when you leave?

"I can't find a suitable horse for a while, so I can only settle for it." Sulu Khan said with some depression.

Four hooves lost to two wooden wheels, and he was convinced, Sulu Khan really had nothing to say, especially knowing that his daughter still wanted to make that deputy envoy Zheng.

Li Longji laughed, and put the reins of the purple lightning thunder in his hand into the hands of Sulu Khan: "If there is no suitable horse, then I will give you this purple lightning thunder." ”

"What, Your Majesty, this horse is for me?" Sulu Khan was taken aback and said in disbelief.

"That's right, the sword is given to the hero, the pink is given to the beauty, the purple lightning thunder is in my hands, it can't play its strengths, it's better to reward Aiqing and help Aiqing fight on the battlefield." Li Longji said with a straight face.

"This, this..."

Sulu Khan always thought that Li Longji had avenged his defeat in the past, but he didn't expect that he had misunderstood.

You must know that the purple lightning thunder is Li Longji's most beloved horse.
