Chapter 965

Zhang Jiuling's face couldn't see anything, if the internal worries were united with the external troubles, if the two sides cooperated, Cao Hu'er, who should have been trapped and died in the area of Xu County, would be equivalent to receiving unexpected reinforcements, with the support of the Qihu people, not only could Cao Hu'er get military and material assistance, but more importantly, it could boost Cao Jun's confidence.

If the Cao army and the Qihu soldiers and horses cooperated tacitly, then the matter would be far more terrible than the consequences of the actions of the Qihu people and Cao Hu'er.

The three of them began to fall into a state of bitterness and confusion again, and the small celebration banquet that was originally similar to celebrating the success of sending reinforcements also made the three of them tasteless.

"What's that, I don't know what happened to the Dream Confusion Master over there in Jiangnan."

"Alas, speaking of which, if the master can come to Jingshi to sit in town, I believe the situation will be much better." Zhang Jiuling stroked his long beard and sighed leisurely.

These words made Ximen Zhongxiong's eyes light up, stroked the short beard under his chin, narrowed the thief's bright eyes and blinked. "If you can let the master sit in the capital master, many troubles will be solved."

"Two, not everyone will be like you, hoping that the master will return to the capital master." Seeing the eager expressions of these two, Zhao Zhongxian rolled his eyes and said neither yin nor yang.

The two of them were slightly stunned, and then they came to their senses, yes, the prestige of the Dream Master, except for today's son, is absolutely invincible among the royal family. But from the beginning to the present, no one has taken the initiative to stand up and say that Master Dream Confusion will come to the capital to sit in charge, or ask this master to come forward to appease the hundred officials.

Why, isn't it because of the prestige of this dream master is very high, and among the civil and military officials in the court, many of them have factions, or rather, many ministers are effectively loyal to them.

Therefore, everyone intentionally or unintentionally ignores this Dream Master, at least they will never take the initiative to invite the Dream Master to Beijing. However, Master Dream Confusion doesn't seem to have any interest in entering Beijing, but he happily caught a large number of His Royal Highnesses are all locked up in Jiangnan, just to educate these highness people who are not good at quality and morality what is benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith.

Regarding the current crisis in Datang, it seems that there is no intention to ask at all, but more, he only occasionally solves some problems for his closed disciple Duan Shaojun, or wipes Duan Shaojun's butt and retracts it.

"Master Dream Confusion doesn't go out of Jiangnan, in fact, there is also an advantage...... No, it should be said that there are a lot of benefits, at least, it can make the civil and military officials of the Beijing Division have nothing to say. After Zhang Jiuling pondered for a long time, he slowly said a sentence.

"Nothing to say?" Ximen Zhongxiong was stunned for a moment, but soon understood the meaning, sighed and nodded. "I see, Datang has already arrived in this field, these people still have such thoughts, it's really hateful......"

"That's also something that can't be helped, after all, now, the new monarch of the Tang Dynasty has not yet been established, and everyone hopes that they can become a hero of the dragon, as for what will happen to the Tang Empire, I am afraid that in their eyes, it will not be able to fall for a while."

The three of them squatted together to worry about the country and the people, but unfortunately, they are only a minority after all, even if they worry about it a lot, for the vast majority of civil and military ministers, not only do they feel that they are nosy and lenient, but they even think that this brother is also trying to earn a clear name so that he can earn an official position after the new emperor takes the throne.

This is officialdom, every word and deed falls into the eyes of others, there will be a different interpretation, fortunately, they are just doing things for their own inner moral standards.

"The Khan's envoy?" Hou Krudan, the left bone of the town guarding the Totuohai base camp who was left behind by Tukun, stroked his thick beard and stood up a little stunned. "Why would the Khan send an envoy over at this time, it shouldn't be."

"The last general doesn't know, but the envoy has already arrived at our Totuohai, saying that he has urgent business to face the prince." The captain of the hundreds, who had rushed over to inform Kludan, was panting.

"Wait a minute, our prince has just left the Toto Sea not long ago, and the Khan's envoy has come over, there shouldn't be some coincidence here, right?" Krutin frowned, and after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head slowly. "Who is the Khan's envoy?"

"It's Lord Tuton, the right commander of the Khan's Golden Horde......"

This suddenly made Krudan's eyes widen suddenly. "Bastard, the right captain is an important minister of the Khan, how can he come to see our Highness as a messenger?"

"This is true, how dare the last general lie and deceive you." The head of the hundred horsemen shook rapidly, which made Kludan even more confused, but Kludan still knew that the temper of the right captain Tutun was not small, and he couldn't snub the other party.

"Kludan, I didn't expect you to come to greet me in person." Over forty years old, with big shoulders and a round waist, and an unruly face, Tutun, the right captain, saw Kludan walking quickly towards him, showed a faint smile, signaled the guards around him to get out of the way, and rode his horse to meet him.

Kru Dan laughed, first greeted Captain Zuo Tutun, and then swept his eyes over the hundreds of elite Praetorian cavalry brought by Tuton, and his heart became more and more suspicious.

"What happened to the Crutin brothers? It's not like these guards of mine are scaring you, haha...... These Praetorian Cavalry, but on the orders of His Majesty, were specially sent to protect His Royal Highness Tukun, and you must also know that we are ready to do something to the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Now that we are concentrating our forces, as a result, those tribes in the north are beginning to see the gap coming south, so for the safety of Your Highness, Your Majesty specially sent your own guards to protect Your Highness's safety." Captain Zuo Tutun explained with rare patience.

"I see...... "Crutin said with a look of abrupt realization, then squeezed out a smile and turned to Tuton. Lord Tuton, it's really a bit of a coincidence that you came, if you come a day earlier, you might be able to meet my Royal Highness. ”

Hearing this, Tuton's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze fell on Crudan's face, which smiled at Tuton with a sincere face. "If you don't believe it, Lord Tuton, please find someone in this camp to ask, how can I, a courtier, dare to talk nonsense?"

"By the way, Lord Tuton, what is the purpose of the noble khan to let my royal highness return to the Golden Horde?" Crutin couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Oh, it's not because the Khan wants to take advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty and is ready to gather troops and horses to go south, and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to give the Tang Dynasty a ruthless attack, at least he has to occupy a few border towns in the Tang Dynasty, no, he specially asked me to come over and ask His Highness to discuss this matter."

When Krutan heard this reason, his heart couldn't help but be relieved, and the smile on his face seemed a little more comfortable. "So that's the case, it's a pity that His Highness just left Totohai to inspect various places, and now I'm going to look for him, I'm afraid it's ......"

Tutun, who had been secretly observing the changes in Kludan's expression, couldn't help but be surprised, Tukun was not there, was he avoiding himself because he knew he was coming, or was he deliberately avoiding himself for fear that the Khan would know? In short, Tutun had already decided in his heart that Tukun must be a thief, so he would avoid himself.

Well, Tukun, who stayed in the three counties of Hetao thousands of miles away, really had innocent tears on his mother's face, but the problem was that the others were not there, so naturally there was no way to defend himself in person, and as for Kludan, who stayed to preside over the overall situation, he was not as scheming as the big boss, and he didn't understand that the arrival of this Tuton meant that something big must have happened to the Golden Horde's court.

"Then how can this be good, a military matter, but it can't be delayed." Tuton stroked his beard under his chin and muttered with an embarrassed look.

Crudan's eyes narrowed, but he also knew that Tuton could not know the exact whereabouts of his highness at this time. After all, the alliance between His Royal Highness Tukun and Cao Hu'er was carried out in private, and besides, taking the three counties of Hetao was also hidden from Moli Khan, and he naturally had to follow His Highness's wishes and continue to hide it.

"Lord Tuton, my Highness is now out on patrol, I'm afraid it will take a few days to get back, or ...... You first go back to the Golden Horde to explain to Your Majesty, and the last general will send someone to look for His Highness now, as long as His Highness can be found, he will definitely inform His Highness of this matter, and let him rush to the Khan's Golden Horde to meet the Khan as soon as possible. ”
