Chapter 900: I feel at ease with him around
The next day, Pei Xingyan took Shan Tianchang out early in the morning and did not return until noon.
"Your Highness, Siyehu Khan and Yibishekui Khan are now in the city, but one is in the east and the other in the west. According to the information I have gathered, they are planning to gather troops from the Western Regions to attack Gaochang City. It seems that they want to kick the Tang Dynasty out of the Western Regions." Pei Xingyan is very steady in doing things, so after saying this, he also gave his own opinion: "But in my opinion, these are just their wishful thinking. The Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, no, it should be said that your prestige in the Western Regions is enough to scare all the monarchs of small countries. They will not cooperate."
“That’s not necessarily true.” His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand upon hearing this. “When I asked them to send vassal troops to Yumen Pass earlier, few were willing to do so. I know the reason well: they are not worried that I, a dragon crossing the river, cannot defeat Si Yehu and Yi Bi Shekui, two local snakes. They are worried that after this battle, Si Yehu and Yi Bi Shekui will be able to linger on. By then, when they draw up a list, these small countries will be the ones to suffer.
"Alas... they underestimated me. Would I do such a stupid thing as 'killing without burying'? I have already thought about where to scatter the ashes of Si Ye Hu and Yi Bi She Kui after this battle - Alas... people have misled me a lot!"
“Your Highness…” As soon as His Highness the Prince of Chu finished speaking, Gangzi beside him began to feel itchy: “No one in the world can bear the blame for this…”
"What do you mean?" King Chu felt that he was provoked.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Gangzi always knew how to divert King Chu's attention: "Si Yehu and Yi Bi Shekui are not together now..."
"You, Yuwen Qing, Xing Yan, and Shan Tianchang go to the west together," His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought for a moment after hearing this, "As for Zhenxuan, Asheng, and Xuan Ce, follow me to the east."
"Your Highness, is this your plan?" Pei Xingyan was a little confused when he heard this: "Capture the leader first?"
"Plans are meant to be executed, and effectiveness is the most important thing." King Chu knew that his plan this time was really rough, but over the years, as he grew up, even King Chu himself was not quite clear about the strength of the 3,000 shadow assassins under his command - especially after they were equipped with armor, killing people was as easy as mowing grass.
In addition, there is still some black gunpowder that King Chu had prepared for His Majesty Li II on the New Year's Day, which could be used as a weapon on the battlefield. It was perfect for killing people and setting fire in Qianquan City.
"Yuwen Qing, go inform the ruler of Shi State, forget it." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was halfway through his words when he suddenly waved his hand and said, "In this situation, the harm of leaking the news is too great. I will send someone to secretly protect him."
"Your Highness, that's not necessary." Yuwen Qing smiled innocently at first, then said: "With my brother-in-law's temper, he would have already hidden in Kangguo by now - Siyehu and Yibishekui would not stop him, after all, Qianquan City originally belonged to Shiguo."
"Then I have nothing to worry about." His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought for a moment, and then said, "Then let's do it tonight."
"Your Highness, let's change it to two days later." Pei Xingyan, who was standing by, heard what His Highness the King of Chu said and hurriedly said, "In two days, Si Yehu and Yi Bi Shekui will meet with the Loulan envoys. That night, the city will lift the martial law and hold a grand bonfire party."
"Loulan is just a small country, why do they take it so seriously?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu frowned when he heard this.
"But Loulan is the first to surrender to the Western Turks." Pei Xingyan explained to Li Kuan, "Of course they have to make a big show."
"That's great." His Royal Highness Prince Chu stroked his chin and said, "When it comes to the art of handling situations, who in this world knows more than me?"
"That's right, that's right..." Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang began to intensify his own patriarch again: "Our Prince Chu knows everything."
"If you talk any more, I will really beat you!" King Chu thought it would be a good idea to warm up before the big battle.
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong..." Gangzi was used to this...
-------------------------------------
His Royal Highness the King of Chu is ready to start an uprising in the northwest at any time, while in the distant Chang'an, the little Princess Sizi is also ready to lead her two brothers in the uprising.
"Zhi Nu, Fourth Brother, when the emperor comes, help me push this vase over and let it hit his feet! Okay?" Maybe after her second brother left, Princess Sizi became overly lively because she missed him too much, and Zhi Nu and Prince of Wei Li Tai were the first victims.
“Sizi…” His Highness the Prince of Wei looked at his younger sister and always felt that she now had a bit of his second brother’s shadow: “Your idea is good, but… Fourth Brother can’t stand Father’s beating alone…”
"But there is still Zhinu!" Princess Sizi frowned and said, "Fourth brother, are you no longer the best with Sizi?"
"Uh..." If His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei had known that this was the price, he would never have lost his mind and wanted to be "the best" with his sister: "Sizi, do you think Zhinu... looks like she can share the pressure for Fourth Brother?"
"Hey...hey..." Zhinu was sitting in the corridor at this moment, grinning foolishly at Princess Changle in the distance: "Sister, come and play!"
"Okay..." Seeing this, the little princess Sizi could only accept the reality helplessly: "Then Sizi will think of other traps later... Well... or I will ask my second brother..."
What Sizi meant by asking about his second brother was that he ran to Li Kuan's bedroom study and stood in front of the desk and spoke loudly. And the little girl, who had just received the wolf tooth bracelet from her second brother yesterday, felt aggrieved today: it must be their father who was bad and made their second brother leave Chang'an.
When my mother and father were arguing, I heard it all from the side!
"Sizi, what are you doing here with your fourth brother and Zhinu?" - Just when the little girl was angrily planning to do something bad, the voice of Princess Changle rang above her head.
"Sister..." Sizi couldn't help but pout the moment he saw his sister: "I miss my second brother... When will he come back..."
"I don't know either..." Princess Changle frowned when she heard that. She then squatted down and straightened her sister's skirt. Then she said gently, "But I know that no matter where my second brother is, he must miss us very much..."
"Wuwuwu..." Suddenly, the young slave beside him stood up silently from the ground and hugged Li Tai, whose eyes had turned bloodshot: "Fourth brother, I miss my second brother..."
"Don't cry, if you cry, I..." Qingque hugged his brother and couldn't help sobbing, "I... I want to cry too..."
In the past, my second brother always protected me. I felt at ease when he was around...
