"Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up! "
On the mountain path of Xiao Mountain, five fine horses were galloping. Along the way, when people saw these five fine horses, they wanted to scold them. However, when they saw the five masters riding on them, they immediately swallowed the words they wanted to scold in their hearts.
But at the same time, they were also shocked.
Although the five lords said that the Devil King's temperament had improved a lot after entering Xiao Mountain, why was it still the same as before?
Why were they so careless?
"I heard that when it was getting dark yesterday, Zhenla's people came!"
After Li Chengqian and the other masters left, the crowd couldn't help whispering.
"I heard that the white hairy from Tinzhu is going to attack Zhenla!"
"What does that have to do with us?"
"Hey! Who said it has nothing to do with us? Do you still want to eat salt? Where do you think the salt we eat now comes from? It's all made by our dean! "
"And I also heard an interesting story. Before our dean came to Xiao Mountain and made a fortune, didn't he have a tavern in Chang 'an City? That day, Prince Zhenla and Princess Zhenla went to the tavern and met our dean. They were originally covered with jewels, but when they came out, do you know what they became? "
The crowd couldn't help but be interested.
That person carried a basket of bricks on his back and said, "Those two idiots were tricked by our Dean. Other than the clothes on their bodies, they don't have anything left!"
Hiss —!
"Is that true?"
"Yes!"
"So what's the purpose of Zhenla's people coming this time? Are they sending treasures to our dean again? "
"Who knows? But looking at the five masters' actions, maybe Zhenla is in trouble this time! Didn't you see that the edict was issued this morning? The group of veterans of the An Le House went down the mountain like crazy! "
"What? Is … something really going to happen? "
Hiss —!
"…"
On the other side.
Li Chengqian waved his horsewhip and rushed all the way to Chang 'an City, and then rushed all the way to the imperial city. It was hard not to attract attention along the way.
Everyone couldn't help but think of Zhen La's visit yesterday and today's edict.
Chang 'an City could not help but become jittery again.
Li Chengqian and the others galloped, dismounting outside Taiji Palace. Holding the Crown Prince's token, they entered the Imperial Study under the shocked gazes of the Golden Guards.
Li Shimin had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Li Chengqian and the others enter, he waved his hand, indicating Cheng Chumo and the others to leave. Only then did he ask, "Why are you so alarmed? Zhen only asked you to come back and participate in General Cheng and the others' discussion on this expedition to Zhenla. Why are you acting so exaggeratedly? "
Li Chengqian was greatly alarmed when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Imperial Father, this son came precisely for this matter!"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows. "Did Feng Zi say something shocking again?"
"Feng 'zi said that this is a scheme of the Turks!"
When Li Shimin heard this, the indifferent expression on his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly asked, "Speak!"
When he learned that Li Chengqian and the others had broken into the Imperial City, he had already. He thought of many possibilities, but he once again underestimated Zhang Feng's intelligence.
He had actually spoken of the matter that Li Shimin was most worried about. Moreover, Zhang Feng had known nothing about the one hundred thousand Turks. There was a high chance that these brats had only revealed it in a moment of desperation.
In a short moment, he was able to overlook the entire situation and hit the key points. This made Li Shimin somewhat believe Li Chengqian's words.
"Imperial Father, Feng Zi said that the Tubo incident, as well as the Zhenla and India incident, were all manipulated by the Turks. They had long been sure that our Tang Dynasty would send troops to rescue Zhenla. Think about it, twice, twice, it was them who provided the provisions. This is not normal!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he could not help but think of this strange matter that made his eyelids twitch.
He had always felt that something was wrong.
However, he could not figure out why he gave Yuchi Gong and the others a day to discuss this matter. But now, Li Shimin was instantly enlightened by Li Chengqian's words.
"No wonder I have been thinking that since they have provisions for 100,000 people, they may not be unable to quell the rebellion. Why did they ask our Tang Dynasty to send troops?"
"It turns out that the Turks have long turned into Tubo rebels, and then used the old tricks of the Tang Dynasty to promote Tubo. From the military and rumors, they mistakenly thought that this matter was serious. That's why they came to ask the Tang Dynasty for help in such a panic. I see, I see. I understand now!"
Li Shimin slammed his fist on the table, instantly startling the four people waiting at the door.
Li Shimin did not care so much. He hurriedly walked down from the dragon throne and asked, "Is what you said true?"
But when he said this, Li Shimin did not feel that it was inappropriate. After all, this matter was too big, so big that Li Shimin felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.
Li Chengqian nodded heavily.
"Your son has thought about this matter for a long time and also feels that it is very strange. Imperial Father, look!"
While speaking, Li Chengqian pointed at the map on the wall of the imperial study and said, "This is the location of our Tang Dynasty, and the 100,000 troops were gathered in Youzhou. That is to say, Tuli Khan and Xieli are bound to meet. Otherwise, how could the 100,000 troops enter that good fox Xieli's territory so easily?"
"Moreover, we were too ruthless to the Turks some time ago, and the Turks were in internal strife at that time. Do you still hear about the Turks' internal strife now?"
Li Shimin's expression changed when he heard that.
Li Chengqian continued, "First, Tubo broke out in internal strife, and then Tuli mobilized 100,000 elite troops. After that, Tubo asked for help, and then India suddenly sent troops. But these 100,000 elite Turks did not move at all. This …"
