The weight of Hedong Jiezhen to the empire, Xia Luqi is naturally very clear, although he returned to the dynasty for the previous support of pacifying the two rivers, he will inevitably be rewarded, but he has never thought of leaving the town of Hedong. At this time, in the face of Li Siyuan's heavy position, compared with the honor of such an appointment, Xia Ruqi is more grateful for Li Siyuan's trust in him.

At present, the new policy of the empire is thriving, and Li Siyuan let Xia Ruqi out of the town of Hedong, naturally he has his considerations, one of which cannot be ignored is to appreciate Xia Ruqi's ability to "soothe the people and be good at the way", which is extremely important for the new policy.

"Thanks to His Majesty's trust, the minister should do his best to share his worries for His Majesty." Xia Luqi bowed down to thank him, but he thought in his heart that Li Siyuan married him before he left the town of Hedong, and this gesture was absolutely profound.

Li Siyuan helped Xia Luqi up, and the two couldn't help but have a long talk.

Because Xia Ruqi had some considerations in his heart, he tried to lead the topic to Li Congjing, and sure enough, Li Siyuan not only showed a strong interest in talking, but also made it clear that he hoped that Xia Ruqi could assist and supervise King Qin well. In the end, Li Siyuan showed Xia Luqi the fold signed "Jiannan Jiedu Envoy" and asked for his opinion.

Xia Luqi could not help but be shocked by the content of the excerpt, and like Li Siyuan before, he also admired Li Congjing's courage, and said: "The Spring Festival is a rare opportunity to recuperate, but the King of Qin traveled thousands of miles to the far north to spend the festival in the cold road and a foreign land. ”

Xia Ruqi has this emotion, not to mention Li Siyuan, who is Li Congjing's father, and immediately showed a look of pity, the two sighed relatively, Li Siyuan finally said: "This kid peeing is different from ordinary people's hearts, love to toss but this festival, but he is not the only one who is running for the country in a foreign land, but he is also a lonely person."

Xia Luqi didn't understand these words, but Li Siyuan had already stood up, came to the door with his hands in his hands, and looked at Luoyang from afar, with an indescribable expression.

After a long time, Li Siyuan called Jing Xinmo, "Send a few imperial dishes to Wang Lao, you go personally!" ”

Of course, Jing Xinmo knew who the "Wang Lao" in Li Siyuan's mouth was referring to, and he immediately received his life, but he didn't care about the cold outside, and led people to bury their heads in the cold wind.

In the Spring Festival, Luoyang City is naturally very lively, especially the Shangyuan is coming, but all those who have some wealth, are all preparing their own lanterns, and those who are rich in wealth love to show, and they also built a lantern tower in front of their own house, and they have to prepare many lantern riddles in it.

Compared with the festive and lively atmosphere of the city, the mansion of Hubu Langzhong is much more deserted, but Jing Xinmo brought people to the front of the mansion, and walked off the carriage from afar, so that people went to inform the concierge, and did not dare to be disrespectful and trusting. This is not only because there are very few people who can be given food by Li Siyuan, but also because of the identity of the owner of the mansion itself.

This Hubu Langzhong is named Wang Buqi.

There is only one woman under this person's knees, but it is because of that woman that the people in Luoyang City, no matter how powerful they are, do not dare to fake him with half a color.

However, at this time, the old man in the mansion did not have the slightest spirit, and some of them were just concerned about his daughter who was far away in a foreign country

The roaring sound of the wind and snow lapped against the not-so-majestic tent, as if thousands of troops were crossing the border, and the next moment it would lift the trembling tent roof, and sweep away even the tiny people in the tent.

Peach looked up at the tent with the fire in her arms, unsure if she was safe, but then withdrew her gaze and stared at the fire that was flickering and flickering. The water in the cup had already been drunk, and she turned her head, but she saw that the Tatar girl who was in charge of serving her had curled up in the corner and fell asleep, and after a little hesitation, Tao Xiaoxiao still gave up the idea of disturbing the other party.

She has been in the Tatar Ministry for some time, and the things that she thought would be easy to finalize did not go as smoothly as she imagined, and she was told that the Khitan was about to go west to conquer the Tatar chieftain Tubak Khan of the Black Chezi Murwei, did not listen to her advice and immediately prepare for war, but chose to send someone to the West Building to find out the truth, and now the snow is heavy on the grassland, and the people sent out have not heard back for a long time.

Tao Xiaoxiao can clearly feel that Tubak Khan, who has enjoyed a stable life for several years, no longer has the great awe of Datang when Li Congjing helped him return to his hometown, which can be seen from the fact that he began to question Datang's decision-making.

In comparison, the one who caused a lot of trouble to Tao Yaoyao was the Tatar princess Ahri, who always had an inexplicable hostility towards her, and always confronted her, which is one of the reasons why this matter is so unsmooth at the moment.

As for the son of Tubak Khan, Barasi's entanglement with her is insignificant.

After sitting in front of the fire for a long time, I always feel thirsty, and I feel a little unbearable. The people of the Tatar tribe did not like to drink water, they preferred milk, and Momo had no interest in the miserable white liquid, especially when she smelled the lingering fishy smell, which she felt could not be called clean.

Comparatively speaking, water is really the purest thing in the world, without half impurities.

The wind and snow were louder, and Tao Yaoyao looked up at the violently shaking tent again, the mood was not so bad, but it definitely had nothing to do with pleasure, and suddenly for a moment, she missed Luoyang - and the people and things in Luoyang.

"At this time, Luoyang should be full of lanterns, right?" Tao Yaoyao muttered silently in her heart, and no one saw how lonely and lonely her figure was at this moment.

The curtain moved, and a gust of cold wind swept in, stirring Tao's long hair, and disappeared in an instant. It was Tao Yao's personal maid who came in, and she was holding something tightly in her arms.

"It's so cold outside, where have you been for so long" Before she finished speaking, Tao Xiaoxiao was stunned, and she finally saw the things in the maid's arms.

The rouge on the maid's face was frozen by the wind and snow, and it looked miserable, which made her smile look extremely stiff, and her red hands held the water bladder in her arms in front of Tao Yaoyao, and her teeth chattered: "I know that even if these barbarians send water, there is a peculiar smell, and the big boss can't drink it, so I went to the river to fight and the river surface is frozen, and it took me a lot of effort." The water bladder didn't freeze, did it? I've been holding it in my arms."

"Dead girl, who let you go!" Tao Yaoyao took the ice-like water bladder, her nose was sore, and she almost cried, she made a hard face, "You are not allowed to go in the future, and then be careful that I discount your legs" Before she finished speaking, she couldn't say any more, so she moved the stove to the maid, "Hurry up and roast"

The maid smiled heartlessly, there was no fear at all, she finally warmed up, the nose and eyes on her face were finally no longer stiff, she smiled and said: "Your Highness once said that the habit of the big boss who can't do without Qing Shui for a moment is actually a disease."

"He's sick!" Tao Yaoyao immediately raised her eyebrows, and she didn't have a good airway.

The maid covered her mouth and snickered, half loudly, blinked and asked, "The big boss didn't think about it, what is His Highness doing at this time?" ”

"What else can be done? The guests are full, the silk and bamboo orchestra, the beauty and wine, so comfortable! Tao Yaoyao said coldly, then took a sip and glared at the maid, "It's okay, who wants him to do anything, if you talk nonsense, I'll tear your mouth."

The maid just smirked, and she didn't point out the embarrassment of breaking the peach, and before she could say anything, a shrill voice suddenly came from the door of the tent, "Who is so blessed that you can let the noble envoy tear her mouth?" ”

Before the voice fell, Barasi had already walked in with a smile, and he glanced at the maid, "Don't be afraid, I'll take this punishment for you." As he spoke, he looked at Tao Yaoyao and said in a broken Chinese dialect: "If you can relieve your worries, no matter what you do, the bravest eagle on the grassland is willing." ”

When the maid saw Balasi, her face immediately turned cold, and she got up and said unceremoniously: "Who let you in?" It's rude! Get out! ”

"This is the territory of the great Tatar tribe, and I am the noble eagle of the Tatar tribe, who can let me out here?" Baraxi gestured with his hands, but his eyes always fell on Tao Yaoyao, "Beautiful messenger, don't you have a saying in the Central Plains, called 'The one who comes is a guest'?" Is this your hospitality? With that, he walked towards Tao Yaoyao.

Tao Yaoyao never looked at Balasi, and suddenly raised his hand, but when he saw a cold light flashing, a short blade flew towards Balasi, and Balasi was so shocked that Barasi hurriedly retreated, so he was not stabbed by the short blade.

Looking at the sharp blade that was almost stuck in the ground, Barasi's face was instantly extremely pale, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry: "You dare to use the knife against the most noble eagle in the Tatar Department, and immediately apologize to me, otherwise you will pay the price."

Before he could finish speaking, Tao Yaoyao had another short blade in his hand, "Don't let me say it a second time, get out!" ”

"You" Barasi trembled with anger, but Tao Yaoyao's cold face was already very clear, if he said two more words, the sharp blade would definitely fly towards him unceremoniously, and the other party's instant attack had made him clearly realize that he was not very sure to deal with it at all. This made him feel both angry and ashamed, and he was in a dilemma for a while, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Princess Ben wants to see who dares to hurt people here!" Ahri lifted the curtain and walked in, glanced at Balasi, and said in a strange manner: "You can't even surrender to the woman you like, how dare you call yourself an eagle?" She already looked at the peach unpleasantly, and when she saw that Barasi was lustful about the other party, she naturally instigated the other party to make trouble, so disgusting.

Barasi gritted his teeth, his face kept changing, and he waved his hand suddenly, "Someone!" ”

"I see who dares!" The maid, who had already been flushed with anger, pulled out her long knife and aimed the tip directly at Barasi, who was a few steps away, "Whoever dares to take another step, I promise that there will be no head on your shoulders in the next moment!" ”

Ahri had a gloomy face, and angry flames danced in her eyes, she didn't plan to really do anything to Taoyao, but seeing that a maid dared to be so arrogant, where could she swallow this breath, "There are tens of thousands of warriors here, do you really dare to seek death?" ”

The maid was not afraid, "Don't forget, the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty once said: Those who dare to offend the Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!" Today I am a corpse here, and in the future, you will be accompanied by all the Tatars! If you don't believe it, give it a try! ”

Ahri's expression froze, she naturally knew the weight of this sentence, not to mention it far away, isn't the Khitan a lesson from the past?

However, after all, she is a princess of the Tatar tribe, and she was overwhelmed by a maid in momentum, how could she be willing, and said angrily at the moment: "Bastard! This princess doesn't believe it, the Tang people in the world can't touch it! "The woman who started to be angry has long forgotten the cause of today's turmoil.

With that, Ahri drew his sword from the hand of a warrior beside him and was about to rush towards the maid.

Tao Yaoyao's eyes froze in an instant, and her feet were already kicking back on the ground, ready to exert her strength at any time.

"Who dares to offend my Tang people?!"

Suddenly, a loud shout sounded outside the tent, like thunder on the ground.

The sound was so strong, so penetrating, that it clearly hit everyone's ears; This voice is also too majestic, more powerful than the voice of mountains and rivers, more severe than the voice of the gods, and there is no room for doubt.

Everyone in the tent interrupted the movements that were about to take place in their hands and looked towards the door of the tent.

The eyes of the peach are as cold as a glacier, and at this moment they are like snow melting, just like the beginning of spring water and the beginning of spring forest, the maid can't help but cover her mouth, her face is full of disbelief.

That voice was all too familiar to them.

It was because of the familiarity that I couldn't believe that it would ring here.

In the stunned gaze of everyone in the tent, a tall figure walked into the tent, majestic and heroic, like a king's landing.

"His Royal Highness King Qin Qin?" The long knife in the maid's hand fell to the ground, she was full of cleverness, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, "Meet His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”

Ahri was also speechless, pointed at the person with both hands, and stammered: "You Li you"

"Who is Fang Cai, who wants to offend me Tangren?" Li Congjing, who had traveled thousands of miles, swept over the faces of the Tatars with a cold gaze, full of inviolable and unprovoked majesty, behind him, the black-robed and black-armored gentlemen all guarded their horizontal swords, staring indifferently at the people in the tent, as long as Li Congjing gave an order, they would draw their knives and kill people.

No one will doubt this, no matter where they are, no matter who is in front of them.

Tubak Khan, who was following behind Li Congjing, also heard the words in Fang Cai's account, and looked embarrassed at this time, seeing that Li Congjing didn't seem to be joking, dense sweat oozed from his forehead, and hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the Tatar Ministry is in awe of His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Tang Dynasty, how can anyone offend the Tang people here?" Misunderstanding"

After that, he glared at Ahri and Barasi, "Haven't you seen His Royal Highness King Qin yet?!" ”

Ahri and Balasi had not yet recovered from their shock, and after listening to Tubak Khan's words, they hurriedly saluted. Ahri glared at the people beside Tubak Khan in annoyance, angry that they had not informed Li Congjing of his arrival in the Tatar Ministry. How did she know that no one dared to come within fifty steps of her these days, and she didn't know that as soon as Li Congjing arrived at the Tatar Department, the first thing he did was to see Tao Xiao.

Ahri looked at Li Congjing with blank eyes, but Li Congjing didn't look at her at all, "My envoy of the Tang Dynasty has traveled thousands of miles to envoy the Tatar Ministry, and it seems that he is not respected as he deserves, Tubak Khan, don't you have anything to say?" ”

"Absolutely not, we all respect your envoys very much!" Tubak Khan hurriedly defended, and then reprimanded Ahri and Barasi, "Don't you kneel down and make amends to your envoy?!" ”

Even if Ahri and Barasi were unwilling, they could not disobey the majesty of Li Congjing and Tubak Khan, so they had to kneel down and plead guilty to Tao Yaoyao.

Tao Yaoyao snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention.

After getting amends, Li Congjing's face did not get any better, and he said coldly: "Don't forget that Tubak Khan can return to his homeland thanks to whom!" What I need in the Tang Dynasty is to revere the subjects of the Empire, not to be thieves who despise the power of heaven, otherwise, what I gave you at the beginning, I will be able to take back what I gave you in the future! ”

"Yes, the Tatar Ministry is absolutely loyal to the Tang Dynasty and has no offensive intentions." The Tang Dynasty is now getting stronger and stronger, where does Tubak Khan dare to complain.

"Stand down!" Li Congjing waved his hand.

"Your Highness, please rest for a while, today the Tatar Ministry will hold a banquet for Your Highness, and please ask Your Highness"

"Got it!"

"I'm leaving"

The Tatars in the tent retreated in an instant, including the Tatar maid, and the gentlemen and guards also retreated to the outside of the tent to guard, and soon there were only Li Congjing and Tao Yao's master and servant in the tent, and the maid saw Li Congjing looking at her, and hurriedly said: "The slave has also retired!" "Immediately ran away.

Finally, only the two people who had not met for a long time were left in the tent, and the majestic color on Li Congjing's face immediately faded clean, and he was replaced with a harmless smiling face, but before he could say anything, Tao Yaoyao twisted his head, returned to the stove and sat down, picked up the water cup and drank it, and ignored him.

Li Congjing didn't feel embarrassed either, and cheekily sat down in front of Tao Yaoyao, "The master of Tao Da is not satisfied with the beating of these barbarians?" ”

Tao Xiaoyao still didn't look at him, "You don't enjoy happiness in Shu, what are you doing here?" ”

Faced with such a knowingly asked question, of course Li Congjing would not answer clearly, "Aren't you afraid that you will be alone in the grassland for the New Year, how can I not come?" ”

"The year is over." Tao Yaoyao said coldly.

"I also want to come earlier, but isn't there a big mess in Shuzhong" Li Congjing said this, and immediately changed his words, and said with a stern face: "Accompany Qing, every day and New Year!" ”

"Nonsense" Tao Xiaoyao dropped the water cup, turned around, and turned his back to Li Congjing.

Li Congjing was silent for a moment, stepped forward to pull her shoulder, she twisted it, and when she used it harder, she finally pulled it over, but Tao Xiaoyao still lowered her head and didn't let Li Congjing look at her face.

Li Congjing's heart moved, his movements became gentle, and he touched the other party's cheek with one hand, but he immediately felt that there were hot tears rolling there. He pricked his heart like a needle, leaned over and squatted in front of Tao Yaoyao, this time Tao Xiaoyao did not escape, the two looked at each other, and each had a thousand words, and for a while they were relatively speechless.

However, Li Congjing still read from those affectionate eyes that it was not easy and difficult for her to travel thousands of miles to the south and north alone.

Why didn't she stay in Luoyang honestly and live a stable and peaceful life in the Yanwu Academy? All the qiē she did was for him.

"You've lost weight" Tao Yao looked at Li Congjing stupidly and muttered softly.

Li Congjing's throat was hot, and he didn't care about it anymore, hugged Tao Xiaoxiao and kissed her lips
