"The Khan wanted to write a letter to the general, but you have to know..."
The hall in the back house is as warm as spring.
Servants and guards surrounded the place tightly. Unless Li Po was willing, there would be no third person who could hear the two talking.
The aroma of wine and meat wafted in the air, but neither of the two people at the table had any appetite.
Ashina Mudan had an empty stomach and her body had just warmed up, but she only had a drink with Li Po, picked two pieces of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, then put down her chopsticks.
But as soon as he started talking, he was interrupted by Li Po with a smile.
"I understand His Highness's concerns very well, so there is no need to say more about these, and..."
Li Po's smile spread all the way to his ears, like a fox catching a rabbit, smiling proudly and cunningly.
"I think... Bisero won't tell the truth about what happened in the royal court, so what's the use of saying this? Well, let us drink happily later, Bisero, why don't you just tell me directly?
,What does Khan need me to do?"
Although these words still sounded uncomfortable, this time, Ashina Mudan did not get angry.
She was just playing with the wine cup, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was infected by Li Po, and she also brought out a bit of cunning.
"So...the general is willing to serve the Khan?"
"No, no, no, you said it wrong again..." Li Po shook his head repeatedly, "I think even the Turks would not serve their master wholeheartedly and regardless of life and death, let alone me?"
"Now that I have fulfilled my original promise, just like Bischereau said just now, it is time for Khan to fulfill her promise."
"I just want to hear now, what kind of reward will Khan give to those who helped her?"
When it comes to bargaining, Li Po is not a person who refuses to do anything early, but at this moment, he behaves like a shameless businessman.
He is actually telling the other party clearly that the transaction is almost done. Come up with something real as soon as possible. I am neither your servant nor your slave, let alone a whip that is whipped around.
If you want to manipulate me as you please, just dream.
The woman raised her eyebrows and asked, "Isn't it enough that the general captured countless slaves, cattle and sheep on the grassland, and can he return here safely?"
Want to cheat? Or are you testing? Li Po sneered in his heart.
In fact, from the moment he saw the woman, he was constantly testing her. He didn't know what happened in the Turkic royal court, but the woman's attitude could always give him some clear information.
The Turkic royal court was not stable.
Maybe Her Royal Highness the Princess has a certain amount of power, but her throne is still shaky and she needs some support. Otherwise, her envoy will definitely not be what he is now.
The flashier his words and the more he spoke, the more it showed that his guess was right.
So, he looked at the woman and laughed, "The Turks have a vast territory and countless tribes. It is said that the cattle and sheep are like the clouds in the sky. They are too numerous to count. Does your Highness still care about such a small trophy from me?"
"If that's the case... Haha, His Highness is too stingy... Well, this is the reward given by His Highness. Who made His Highness ascend to the throne? Next..."
"Let me guess, does His Highness want me to go to Dali City, bow down before her throne, and offer my loyalty to her in front of the nobles in the royal court?"
Li Po deliberately showed an irritating and contemptuous expression, making everything he said seem like a joke.
But these jokes were not funny at all, and the woman immediately slammed the wine glass on the table.
"General, I have been expressing the kindness of the Khan, and what did I see? What kind of response did I get? You are unscrupulously mocking our sacred gods and noble Khans. Do you want me to humiliate them?
Bring all the words back to the royal court?"
Hitting him hard with a stick and then handing him a sweet date has always been Li Po's usual method.
When you are angry, he will generally make you less angry. Only when you are defenseless will he stab you without warning.
"Well, we can drink together without holding sharp knives in our hands. We are friends, aren't we? Let us all be honest. Your Highness must be generous and kind. Although I have not visited her, Your Highness is a
A king, she should be extremely tolerant and able to tolerate people's small offenses."
"Haha, let's talk calmly now. You have to know that our conversation will involve the lives and deaths of many people. Just like before, with our mutual help, we got the results we wanted."
"Are we going to have disputes after victory to make those enemies happy?"
The woman rolled her eyes for the first time, obviously her emotions had been stimulated by him and she had lost control of her emotions.
She poured a glass of wine angrily, and did not clink the glass with Li Po. Instead, she raised her neck and poured it all down her throat.
The anger was extinguished a lot, and the woman said: "I finally understand why you insist on talking to me alone here. These venomous words of yours are very unworthy of a noble person. Well, I know that too.
, you must not dare to go to Dali City to meet His Highness...because your words are too much."
Li Po laughed loudly and beat his chest, "I accept your praise, Ashina Bishero, now you are like a real envoy and friend, haha, you are much more cordial than the envoys sent from the south.
, that guy named Dou has already had his head chopped off by me."
"It's a pity that it's still a matter of summer. Otherwise, it could be sent as a congratulatory gift to the Khan to make her happy."
This did not deter the woman. She had seen too many cruel people, but this was indeed good news.
A smile finally appeared on the woman's face. She rolled her eyes, and then said: "Speaking of gifts, this time I came, Khan also asked me to bring you a gift, which is
I don’t know if you like it or not.”
Well, this gift is not a pearl agate, nor is it the crown of a king of the Western Regions, or even the furs abundant on the grasslands, or the treasures of the Northeast, but a person.
This person is the unlucky Chen Shuda.
Dugu Huaien, who was just like a wallflower, brought people back to Chang'an, and Chen Shuda... As the initiator of the evil posthumous title of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, from the moment he stepped into the city of Dali, his fate changed.
In fact, it is already doomed.
There is no telling how this descendant of the Nanchen royal family will be treated in front of the Sui royal family.
His tongue, nose and ears were cut off by the angry Princess Yicheng, and he was sent to Nanbian'er to Li Po like waste. By the time he arrived in Jinyang, this man had only one breath of life left.
I had never heard of Chen Shuda's name, Li Po. He could only know how "precious" this gift was by asking others in detail.
But for Princess Yicheng to send such a half-dead person, Li Po didn't think it was a joke. He could immediately think that this person was very unusual.
Of course, you can also understand a thing or two from the smiling mouth of Ashina Peony.
Whether a descendant of the Chen Dynasty royal family could participate in conferring a posthumous title on Yang Guang with Li Yuan, this all shows what kind of person this person was.
In fact, even if he didn't ask others, Li Po could understand Princess Yicheng's anger.
Li Po could also understand Chen Shuda's tragic ending.
The Chen Dynasty was destroyed by Yang Guang. It is said that after the death of Empress Chen, Yang Guang gave someone an evil posthumous title. Chen Shuda now avenged his death, and then fell into the hands of Princess Yicheng.
Thinking about this kind of cause and effect, it feels like God is playing a joke on everyone.
Such a royal grudge was suddenly placed in front of Li Po, and he couldn't help but be confused for a long time.
This time it was the woman's turn to watch the joke. She had a lot of time to explain to Li Po his sinful life and how he offended the Khan. Seeing Li Po's expression change, the woman felt happy in her heart.
Li Po was not interested in any royal grudges at all, but he soon realized how hot this person was to him.
He still needs to ask others what kind of reputation and life this person has, but now this is obviously a bargaining chip for Princess Yicheng to want him to express his stance.
In fact, this is very unnecessary.
Li Po has captured Jinyang and occupied the hometown where Li Yuan started his career. Others can claim vassalage to Li Tang, but Li Po will never bow to Li Yuan again.
If we say that before Jinyang fell, Li Po was still actively preparing a way out for himself, and he was always flirting with Nan Bian'er.
Well, as of today, he has completely lost his thoughts.
The powerful Tang Dynasty only allowed him to see a stumbling back, but the war in the world was still in full swing.
His previous scruples had already been shaken, and it was Li Yuanji from Jinyang who made him lose his last scruples.
Yes, it was actually Li Yuanji who ruined everything.
Of course, there are more than these reasons. When the Turks went south, even if Li Yuan sent a cart of grain to Mayi and let Li Po see it with his own eyes, Li Po would still try hard to find a more stable place for himself in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
The location comes out.
Unfortunately, the Turks went south several times, but not a single soldier from Jinyang came north to help them, not even a grain of food or grass was sent.
It can be said that we have reached this point today.
Li Po's own reasons don't need to be considered at all. It can only be said that Li Yuan caused it before, and Li Yuanji gave a result.
Therefore, if Chen Shuda sends Li Po here, he will not get any results.
This can only be said to be a woman's behavior. No matter how many careful calculations she has, she tends to be vicious and ruthless, and she is also too persistent in hatred.
For a Turkic Khan, this method was completely inferior.
Just like when Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Li Jing to trap and kill Shibi Khan's close confidant Shi Shuhu Xi, it was not what a king should do.
