"The general is promoted."
While a few people were discussing, a meeting had already started next to them, and General Qin Qiong had arrived.
Because they were just going to leave after saying a few words, the preparations were not very formal. There were only two chairs on the scene, one for Qin Qiong and one for Cheng Yaojin, and everyone else had to stand.
Li Xiang didn't have much impression of Qin Qiong. At least he was completely different from Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin was very high-profile in everything he did, but Qin Qiong was an exception. If it weren't for the rules, he would be like an old soldier with no power in the army, and no one could tell that he was a great general.
After discussing some tedious matters, the entire army immediately began to set off. Li Xiang saw it clearly from the side. During the reign of Li Shimin, the officialdom was clean, the army was strong, and the Tang Dynasty was also a world power. This was not without reason. From top to bottom, there were many people who were doing things.
Although everyone had some personal grudges in their hearts, not many people expressed them on the surface. On the contrary, they were able to make certain sacrifices for the overall situation. Therefore, the increase in national strength during the Zhenguan period was normal.
"Your Highness, you can't..."
Li Xiang sat down on Zatlk's prison cart. You should know that in this era, Li Xiang cannot sit on it. Many people think it is taboo, even if he is the driver of the cart.
"Drive your car well. You have nothing to do here. Just follow the people ahead and forget everything you heard."
Li Xiang threw a small piece of silver to the coachman, which was his monthly salary. The man understood the situation very well and quickly jumped off the coachman and went to the horse's head. From this place, he could not hear the conversation between Li Xiang and him.
"Don't bother with that. I know what you're thinking, and I also know I might never be able to go back. But if you want me to betray Tuyuhun, that's absolutely impossible, unless you kill me."
When Zatlk saw Li Xiang coming, disgust instinctively appeared on his face. This guy had suffered too much at the hands of Li Xiang. Sometimes he even thought that if there was no Li Xiang, perhaps he could still live a good life, at least he could survive in Chang'an City.
"You might be overthinking it. I have something to tell you. This is the intelligence we just received. Your brother has already come to your house. You should know your relationship better than I do. You should also know how he feels about your wife, Altan Ula. It's not news that a brother-in-law and sister-in-law are causing trouble, but I just want to know if you can handle it."
Li Xiang seriously took out a bunch of information. As for whether what he said came from it, many things were difficult to verify, after all, not many people knew these things.
"You're talking nonsense! How could Altan Ula, my childhood sweetheart, have anything to do with my brother? We swore an oath in front of the Snow Mountain."
Zatlk said angrily, his hands already grasping the prison van. If the wood wasn't so hard, this guy would have rushed down and beat Li Xiang up.
"These days, the most unreliable thing is an oath. If you two are childhood sweethearts, then why did you come all the way to Chang'an? Aren't you supposed to marry the Tang princess? Why don't you mention your childhood sweetheart relationship now? Have you forgotten everything? That makes you a traitor!"
After Li Xiang finished speaking, several soldiers around him couldn't help laughing. Our prince is different from others. Even some small officers in the army speak in a flowery manner, which we can't understand at all. Only our prince speaks in this common people's way, and everyone laughs when they hear it.
"you……"
Zatlk was speechless. Just as Li Xiang said, on the one hand, you publicize your childhood sweetheart relationship, and on the other hand, you ran to Chang'an City to marry the princess. Is this your obsession with love?
"Marrying the princess is for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries."
Zatlk spoke word by word, wishing he could bite his teeth off. He had just made up his mind that he would never talk to someone like Li Xiang, because in his eyes Li Xiang might be a devil, but at this moment he couldn't help it, because Li Xiang knew where to start and could make this guy unable to hold back.
"So you didn't really love our Tang princess. Luckily, I didn't marry her to you, or else you would have been unlucky in this life. You're such a dog-like person, yet you still yearn for our Tang princess? What gives you the right to do that? You deserve your wife to run off with someone else."
Li Xiang said slowly that he could stimulate this guy but not make him completely crazy. If he went completely crazy, it would be of no use to him.
"Get out of here, what do you want to say?"
Zatlk wanted to bite Li Xiang to death with one bite, but unfortunately he didn't have the ability to do so now. He could only use the force of his teeth against each other, and in the end he was the one who got hurt.
"We both get what we need. I want to discuss a deal with you."
Finally we get to the point. Li Xiang has made this guy confused, so it is in our best interest to talk business at this time.
"Don't be delusional. It's impossible for me to betray Tuyuhun."
When talking about this matter, Zatlk suddenly came to his senses. He knew that the Han people had many conspiracies and tricks, so when he was in Chang'an City over the years, he tried not to agree to some of the Han people's words in person. After returning, he would think more about it before speaking out. Just now, he was just provoked by Li Xiang and couldn't control himself.
"Well, if that's the case, then we have nothing more to discuss. We'll turn a corner and drag this guy out to chop him up. There's no need for us to waste food on someone who is of no use to us. It's a pity for your beautiful wife and the huge treasure in your family. Now they all belong to your half-brother. What's the virtue of this child? And your father is nothing. No one loves a child whose mother has died. Why didn't he send your brother to Chang'an? He sent you here instead. It's obvious that he doesn't take you seriously. Maybe the current situation is what your father wants to see most. Don't feel bad. It will be a matter of a knife later anyway."
Li Xiang patted his clothes as he spoke and walked downstairs. It seemed that he had truly given up...
