Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Liu Zi and Jiang Ji looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

This scene was indeed what the prince said, and the hard-liners in Tubo were preparing to rob and kill the marriage team halfway.

This undermined the peace treaty between the two countries, but what they didn't expect was that the Turks would also participate.

"Lord Protector, the Tang Dynasty has currently deployed 70,000 troops in Yuanyou. Once the news of the murder of the marriage team spreads back, will it trigger retaliation from the Tang Dynasty?"

Hunji obviously didn't take Datang seriously. He waved his hand and took a sip of the highland barley wine.

"Don't worry, although the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses are powerful, they are not good at fighting in high mountain areas."

"As long as we kill all this marriage team, we can put the blame on the remnants of Tuyuhun."

"This way no one has any evidence to prove that we did it."

Liuzi suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and laughed loudly.

"As expected of Protector Hui, this move is really good. Come on, cheers!"

The three of them agreed on a date for the start, then toasted and drank.

It wasn't until the moon was at its peak that Liu Zi and Jiang Ji left the commander's tent.

"You go to the camp and keep an eye on them. Once Hunji and his two thousand men sense something is wrong, they will be wiped out immediately! I'll go see the prince."

After giving Jiang Ji some instructions, the six sons drunkenly walked towards the hay shed, only to find that no one was following them, and they disappeared into the night on their toes.

...

Tubo Stone House.

Under the dim candlelight, Fan Xin clasped one hand behind his back, holding a brush in his right hand and writing dragons and snakes on the folded paper.

Outside the window behind him, a tall figure appeared there.

"How are things going?" Fan Xin asked without looking back.

"Back to your lord, Hunji deployed 20,000 troops in Baiquan to get rid of you and Heqin's team, but they were all eradicated by the last general."

"In addition, I came to report that a group of 20,000 Turkic cavalry appeared 20 miles north of Woniu Mountain."

"Old Cao has led an army of 50,000 to ambush on the way to Baiquan City. At this moment, I think he should have wiped out the Turkic cavalry."

Throwing the brush on the table, Fan Xin read the contents of the distress note and smiled lightly.

"Send this envelope back to Shanzhou. It's time for Li Longji's methods to be exposed."

"I will obey your orders!"

The figure outside the window nodded and disappeared into the night, and with him was the final letter.

……

Boom!

In the quiet Shanzhou City, a thunder suddenly sounded, and then it started pouring rain.

Bean-like raindrops hit the oil paper window, making a rapid sound.

Yao Chong suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, breathing heavily, and glanced out the window with lingering fear.

Only then did I realize it was raining heavily outside.

"Phew, I was scared to death, it turned out to be a dream!"

Yao Chong smiled bitterly and was about to sit up from the bed and close the window.

A figure ran out of the rain, pushed open the door and knelt on one knee.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, King Yan urgently delivers, please read it quickly!"

"An urgent delivery from King Yan?"

Yao Chong frowned slightly and took the fold from the messenger's hand. He didn't know why he had a bad feeling in his heart.

The secret folding adopts the eight-hundred-mile expedited method, and two layers of fire paint are baked on the letter mouth.

Use a knife to cut the paint, and the contents on the fold will come out.

"Read it, Prime Minister Yao, when you receive this memorial, I will have been surrounded by Tibetan hardliners."

"Tens of thousands of troops have trapped us in Baiquan City. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long. We hope for quick rescue!"

Yao Chong sighed in his heart and sat down on the chair.

All of this was indeed what Fan Xin said, and the Tubo people really took action against the marriage team.

Without any time to hesitate, Yao Chong directly called the governor of the twelve states to the camp as the envoy of the Six Paths of the Western Regions.

And read Fan Xin's letter for help in front of everyone.

When they heard that the marriage team and King Yan were besieged by the Tubo people in Baiquan City, the officials present were shocked and angry, and they all said they would send troops to rescue.

Seeing that everyone unanimously agreed to go to the rescue, Yao Chong suddenly became confident and took action on the big case.

"Okay, since you all agree to save people, I will order the army to start immediately..."

"Wait a minute!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened, and a figure walked in from the outside.

This person was wearing a purple official robe, had a Chinese character face, and was holding a sword with a majestic expression.

Behind him were several generals of the Habayashi Guards.

Looking at the people who suddenly appeared, Yao Chong said with a serious expression.

"Who are you, who dare to break into the White Tiger Festival Hall without permission?"

The visitor smiled slightly and cupped his fists.

"My officer, General You Xiaowei, has joined the right defense envoy, and Duke Guo of Taiyuan County knows his luck!"

"Prime Minister Yao, take the order!"

Yao Chong's expression changed slightly, he walked out from behind the big case and bowed to inquire.

"Under my sect, the old fortune of the Tang Dynasty has been resurrected. If we want to restore the prosperous age, we can only reform the old and welcome it. Therefore, we appoint Guo Zhiyun as the second-grade Jiedushi, and fully take over the military and political power of Youyou..."

"Comprehensively take over the right military and political power..." Yao Chong stood there blankly, his head buzzing.

He never dreamed that the emperor would oust him by appointing additional military governors.

I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and suddenly.

"Yao Xiang, are you okay?" Guo Zhiyun's voice came to his ears.

After coming back to his senses, Yao Chong cheered up and forced a smile.

"The truth is that everything is fine."

"As long as it's okay, Mr. Ge is getting older and should pay more attention to rest. I'd better leave the military affairs of the right wing to this officer."

Guo Zhiyun smiled, sat down behind the big case, and looked at the governors with cold eyes.

"Listen, I am the military and political envoy personally appointed by Your Majesty. I am in charge of the military and political power of the twelve states of Shan, Qin, He, Wei, Lan, Lin, Wu, Tao, Min, Kuo, Die and Dan."

"No one is allowed to make decisions without my permission. Do you hear me?"

The twelve governors looked at each other, and finally the governor of Shanzhou stood up and asked.

"Jie Du Envoy, now King Yan and the Heqin team are trapped in Baiquan City and are in danger. I wonder if we should continue to send troops for reinforcements?"

"In danger?" Guo Zhiyun sneered: Have you seen with your own eyes that King Yan is in danger?

Shanzhou governor...

"Well, Tubo is a barren place, and there are always some thieves who are hostile to the Tang Dynasty. It is inevitable that some trouble will arise."

"We must believe in King Yan's ability, and remember that the troops stationed in Youyou are at risk for the entire Western Region of the Tang Dynasty. We must not use them rashly. Dismissal of the meeting!"

After Guo Zhiyun finished speaking, he left the commander's tent, leaving behind all the officials looking at each other.

"Xiang Yao, what should we do? King Yan and the princess are trapped in Baiquan. If they are not rescued as soon as possible, they may be in danger."

"Yeah, I really can't understand why the imperial court would send a military envoy here at this time..."

Facing the dissatisfaction of the officials, Yao Chong's expression changed again and again, and finally he snorted.

"Let's go, I will take you to find Guo Zhiyun and ask who will bear the responsibility if the marriage fails!"
