"Haha, I knew that Brother Shaojun was really auspicious, and he had really been rescued by my eldest niece." After reading the short urgent letter, Li Xuan's eyebrows fluttered and he laughed.

"They've really done it, it's great, so you don't have to worry about it all the time, husband." Seeing Li Xuan's radiant appearance, Duan couldn't help but hide his lips and smile.

"This is natural, great, I can't imagine it, tsk, my eldest niece and Sister Xu cooperate so tacitly, amazing, these two women are not ordinary people." Li Xuan looked happy, and looked a little palpitating.

"Husband, why do you always have such a strange expression when you mention Princess Zhaoyang?" Duan looked at his husband with some curiosity and asked in a low voice.

Li Xuan was stunned by Duan's question, and only then did he smile for a long time

。 "That...... Well, my eldest niece is not comparable to the average woman. ”

"Husband, just talk about it, there are no outsiders here, you quietly tell the concubine, and the concubine promises not to tell anyone else......" Duan's is worthy of being a woman, or a woman among women, and she is now more and more skilled in the most commonly used coquettish methods for women.

Where can Li Xuan be able to resist his wife like this, he can only tell the Duan family about the past affairs of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang, of course, he peed indiscriminately, was beaten by his eldest niece, or was disobedient, and was snatched away by his eldest niece and cried for half an hour.

But even so, the image of the heroic and majestic General Li still jumped on the paper, and Duan's leisurely fascination was heard. "I didn't expect your eldest niece to be such a powerful woman."

Li Xuan nodded, his face was very bright. "Of course, my father once said that my granddaughter is heroic and resolute, has the posture of a hero, and is absolutely extraordinary, but it is a pity that it is a daughter, otherwise, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty should be inherited by it, and I am the most at ease......"

"Obediently, if you really let your eldest niece become the emperor, then when you see her in the future, won't you call yourself a micro-minister?" Duan's joke is authentic.

"That's natural, to be honest, compared to my brothers and nephews, my eldest niece is really more suitable to be an emperor." Li Xuan thought about it, and really felt that this was the case, perhaps it was this reason why his father had been reluctant to establish a prince.

It is because the temperament of those royal brothers is really not very good, of course, Li Xuan never felt that he had that hope, in his own opinion, the most suitable thing for him to do was an idle prince who was at ease.

It would be good to accompany his wife and children, occasionally do a small business to make some money, and satisfy his hobbies, as for taking care of things that are so tiring for thousands of miles, Li Xuan really doesn't have the spirit to do it.

became the Son of Heaven, and fought wits and courage with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces all day long, no matter where there was a disaster, and no matter where someone made a mess, I don't know how many such bad things happened every year.

It's not that Li Xuan hasn't seen his father deal with the twists and turns, and the twists and turns he handles every day are not five feet high, but also three feet high.

Seeing that his father and emperor had reached this age but still had to work so hard, Li Xuan felt even more that the work of the Son of Heaven was definitely not like this

The couple chatted in the carriage, and continued to move slowly by the carriage, unaware that the dark tide had begun to surge in the Jingshi.

The news that Almu was driven back to the grassland not only spread back to the grass, but also directly to the Western Regions. It reached the ears of the prince of Tukun, who was commanding a large army to attack the small countries of the Western Regions.

Prince Tukun sat on the tent and was stunned for a long time before he reacted. His eyes refocused on the Qihu Qianchang who had rushed to deliver the news. "Is this news true?"

"Honorable prince, how dare the last general pass on false news, after the last general, Da and Qu and the warriors arrived on the bank of the Yinma River, they were ordered by Da and Qu to rush to the Western Regions to report the news to the prince......

Originally, Da and Qu wanted to come to the prince in person to ask for guilt, but he was so humiliated by the Tang people that he failed to complete the prince's request, and Da and Qu were already ill, and he couldn't even ride a horse, so he could only order the last general to come to the prince on his behalf.

Now Daqiqu must be heading towards the Toto Sea, and it will be about three or five days before he can return to the Toto Sea. This Qianchang bent down humbly and said to the Tukun Prince, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot

。 He was the unlucky Qianchang who accompanied Almu to escort Duan Dagongzi south to greet his relatives.

"What about their casualties?" The old face of the old man couldn't help but twitch a little, and his eyes stared at this Qianchang and asked sharply. And many of the Qihu generals in the big tent also looked very gloomy.

"Back to Dadanghu, there are about 1,400 Qihu warriors who have returned to the grassland, and only less than 100 people have been lost, but ...... But our weapons and equipment have all been swept away by the damned Tang people. "Chicho's head is buried even lower.

"Shameless, shameless, they're just too much, it's too much." One of the Chihu generals couldn't help but roar loudly. "I can't imagine that they are so shameless, in the name of sending relatives, they actually do such despicable things."

"But the one surnamed Duan conspired with the Tang people to calculate the big and ditch?" A civil official stroked his exuberant hairy beard and asked a sinister question, and the original noise in the big tent instantly became much quieter, and everyone's eyes fell on the Qianchang.

"Da Youqu said that Duan Gongzi was arrested by the Tang people, if it was a conspiracy, why should Duan Gongzi be arrested?" As a person concerned, Qianchang was of course very clear about the scene at that time, and he naturally heard Almu's words of regret afterwards.

"Who knows, whether those Tang people conspired with the surnamed Duan to perform such a scene." Another official also came up with such a sentence in the same way.

"Yes, Lord Wang, maybe the so-called welcome this time is a play performed by the surnamed Duan and the Tang people." Naturally, someone jumped out and continued to set the tone for the matter.

At this moment, the old man narrowed his eyes, worried about his nephew, and began to consider the possibility of this kind of thing happening.

"It can't be!" Qian Chang stood up with an angry face and glared at the official who had just spoken. "If that's the case, then why would the Xu Clan Merchant Group quietly wait for the Tang Army who escorted us to leave and provide us with assistance?"

"Enough! And you tell me carefully from beginning to end, this king wants to know all the details. Prince Tukun waved his hand, his cold gaze swept away, and those noisy subordinates closed their mouths one after another, putting on a respectful posture and not daring to say more.

Qianchang took a deep breath and recounted the beginning of the southward journey, the journey along the way, including the performance of Duan Dagongzi, the worries and reactions of Da Youqu Almu, and of course, after the Tang conspiracy to marry the lord of Lieyang was exposed, hundreds of ambushes in the wedding tent came out, bows and crossbows were forced, and attacked and killed the Qihu warriors who participated in the wedding.

And the so-called officiating official and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites directly ordered the arrest of Duan Gongzi, and threatened with a large army, forcing more than a thousand isolated and helpless Qihu warriors to leave their mounts in humiliation, lay down their weapons, and even the cattle and sheep used as military rations were forced to stay, and they could only carry dry meat that was only enough for two or three days, and they were escorted out of Shuozhou by the Tang army.

After leaving the boundary of Shuozhou, the Tang army retreated, and there was no food and clothing, and seeing that the team was about to be chaotic, the people of the Xu caravan came, bringing a batch of cattle and sheep as food, and even sent dozens of horses and a batch of tents.

Although there are fewer tents, a squeeze will save everyone from being exposed to mosquitoes and moonlight at night. What's more, with the food, the team finally calmed down.

The leader of the caravan told Almu, and they didn't expect that the government would be so shameless and despicable, and would actually use such despicable means to take down their behind-the-scenes owner, Duan Dagongzi.

However, as Duan Dagongzi's subordinates, they had to do something for their hosts, and in order to thank the Khihu people for their protection and friendship with their hosts, they specially prepared food, horses and tents, hoping to help this unlucky Chihu army, and of course, hoping that the friendship between the two sides could continue.
