Chapter 231 The trip to Liangzhou
"So, the killer who was at Baiyun Temple that day was also sent by you?" Lu Xiaoxian looked at Murong Kan.
"I didn't want to kill you, but you are too smart. I thought I did it perfectly, but you revealed the mystery bit by bit. Given the situation at that time, if you didn't die, the matter would be exposed soon!"
Here, Murong Kan smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, Governor Guo persuaded me not to kill you. He thinks you are a difficult person to deal with. However, I have to kill you, even if it is not for myself, I have to do it for God.
So many people from the Tiansha Sect are thinking about it. But I didn’t expect that you would take action so soon after escaping the assassination. Except for me, no one from the Tiansha Sect ran out!"
Lu Xiaoxian said calmly: "In that case, Murong Sect Master was able to escape alone, which I didn't expect!"
Murong Kan suddenly fell to his knees: "I did all these things by myself, and the people from the 'Tiansha' sect didn't know about it. I hope Mr. Lu can let them go, and I will be responsible for killing or beheading them all by myself!"
"
Lu Xiaoxian looked at Murong Kan, then at Guo Qin, but said nothing.
Guo Qin's face was extremely calm, and he smiled at Lu Xiaoxian: "I have said what needs to be said, and everyone who deserves to die is also dead. As for Mr. Lu, you can do whatever you want, I will die.
No regrets! As for Murong Sect Master’s request, it’s useless for me to say more, Mr. Lu, you can handle it yourself!”
Lu Xiaoxian thought for a moment and said to Guo Qin solemnly: "I haven't decided how to deal with you yet. Until there is no conclusion, you are still the governor of Taozhou. The Tubo people are your enemies and the enemies of the Tang Dynasty. Now it's time to
You should know what to do, and I hope you won’t let your father’s spirit in heaven shame you!”
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxian said, Guo Qin was stunned.
After a long while, he said with a grateful look on his face: "Thanks to Mr. Lu's respect, if I, Guo Qin, can die on the battlefield, it will be a great blessing in life!"
"As for Murong Sect Master!" Lu Xiaoxian stared at Murong Kan and said, "I still want to verify what you said! If what you said is true, I will naturally not embarrass you and will let you and your men leave Taozhou!"
"Master Lu, the people who knew about it are no longer alive, how can you verify it?" Guo Qin asked puzzledly.
"No! There are still insiders here!" Lu Xiaoxian said casually.
"who!"
"The then Princess Honghua is now the Princess Xiping!" Lu Xiaoxian said slowly.
…
Lu Xiaoxian took Chen Xuanli and several Yulin soldiers and left Taozhou and headed straight for Liangzhou.
The domineering and rough Qilian Mountains, crowned with white snow, exude wisps of cold air; on the right is the majestic Longshou Mountain, showing a touch of indifferent gray and yellow. No mountain springs and running water can be seen, and no singing or singing can be heard. In the sparse villages
Occasionally, there are one or two crowing of cocks and barking of dogs, conveying a breath of life, and there is a vast silence and arid silence between heaven and earth.
Border walls, lonely smoke in the desert, camel bells on ancient roads, shadows of grotto towers, the plaintive sound of the Qiang flute, the whimpering of the 筚篯, the mournful cry of the Hujia...
Liangzhou Ci, Saixia Song, Longtou Yin, and Yangguan Sandie jumped out one by one in Lu Xiaoxian's memory. The corridor in front of him suddenly became wider. In the blink of an eye, Longshou Mountain disappeared, and Qilian Mountain also retreated.
Under the white clouds, there are misty and dodgy clouds; a city appears in the field of vision, and Liangzhou is in front of it.
Ah, Liangzhou, a lonely city surrounded by thousands of mountains. Wang Zhihuan did not lie!
Liangzhou City has a sense of heaviness and vicissitudes. Tribes such as the Huns, Xianbei, Turks, and Tubos have been fighting here for a long time. Liangzhou has experienced many wars, but it has never lost its splendid scenery and dazzling light.
After the great ancestor Li Yuan unified the world, he deeply felt the importance of Liangzhou's geographical location and specially appointed his son Li Shimin, who was good at war, as the general manager of Liangzhou. However, Li Shimin did not take office in Liangzhou, so Li Yuan sent Yang Gongren, the minister of Huangmen, as the ambassador to appease Hexi and served as the full-time ambassador.
General manager of Liangzhou.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, most of the wars, whether with Tibet or the Turks, were fought with Liangzhou as the base. In other words, Liangsan was the frontline headquarters of the Tang Dynasty's foreign wars.
Liangzhou was extremely well-known in the Tang Dynasty, second only to the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang. Liangzhou poetry, Liangzhou music, and Liangzhou dances were popular all over the country.
"Chickens crow in the mountains at the top of the city, and every family in Luoyang learns Hu music." "Chariots and horses crisscross each other, singing and blowing in the sun." "Liangzhou has hundreds of thousands of homes in seven miles, and the Hu people half understand how to play the pipa." These poems all describe Liangzhou.
The scene of an important town with lively singing and flourishing culture.
When we arrived at Liangzhou City, it was already dark
It's too late.
On a moonlit night, the moon in the frontier fortress is big, round and full of texture. The clear moonlight shines on the border town and the mountains. The night wind is mixed with the fragrance of earth and the smell of sprouting trees and flowers.
The advantage of taking Chen Xuanli with you is that no matter where you go, as long as it is a territory belonging to the Tang Dynasty, you can quickly settle down in the post house. In this regard, the Yulin Army's signboard is indeed very effective.
Early the next morning, Lu Xiaoxian sent someone to the residence of Princess Xiping to deliver a greeting card.
Soon, the Princess Mansion sent someone to reply, inviting Lu Xiaoxian to go to the Princess Mansion at the same time. The eldest princess of Xiping wanted to have a special banquet for Lu Xiaoxian. The person who sent the message repeatedly confessed, and the notary ordered that only Lu Xiaoxian be invited to the banquet.
Lu Xiaoxian felt very surprised when he saw the eldest princess of Xiping.
Princess Honghua wears an orange-red and blue high-waisted dress with eye-catching color combinations. She wears a half-sleeved blouse over it. The long skirt often reaches the floor, and her hair is tied up high, making her look very graceful.
This is clearly a palace costume from the Tang Dynasty. It is really rare to see such a gorgeous costume in this important frontier town.
Lu Xiaoxian somewhat understood why Princess Honghua asked him to come to the banquet in the evening. I am afraid that the time she set aside was just to dress up carefully to show her noble status as the Li family of the Tang Dynasty.
She is tall and well-proportioned, but her back is hunched, her skin is loose, her teeth are about to fall out, and her mouth is deeply sunken.
Although she was wearing gorgeous clothes, she could not hide the traces left by the years. The gorgeous clothes only made her look older. Only her eyes, the look in her wrinkles, made Lu Xiaoxian feel her
I have experienced the ups and downs and struggles of life, but my eyes still contain the love for life.
The banquet was very rich, and there were only two of them, one was an old woman in her seventies, and the other was a young man in his teens. They just sat, ate, and chatted without any sign of dissatisfaction.
coordination.
"Mr. Lu, please try Liangzhou's fine wine, which is very famous!" Princess Honghua's demeanor while drinking could still vaguely see the elegance in her bones.
Chapter completed!
