Chapter 159: In exchange for food! King Chu takes action!
"hiss……."
"ah……."
Changsun Wuji took several deep breaths before he managed to calm down.
"I am... we are laughing in anger."
"Yes!" Du Ruhui immediately agreed: "We are so sad. My most precious treasure of the Tang Dynasty is going to be bought by the Turks. We are really... hahaha..."
"Only one million dans of grain... Hahahaha... What a loss, what a loss!
"
Wei Zheng covered his stomach with both hands and burst into tears from laughter.
"Stop talking, go back and drink, hahaha..."
Du Ruhui shouted.
Cheng Yaojin was behind, and he simply covered his face with his sleeves.
One million dans of grain!
With this food, people will have no problems surviving the winter.
There is even enough food and grass to deal with the Turks.
Now, if the Turks move south, it will be really difficult for the Tang Dynasty to resist them. After all, they don’t even have food and grass. But with these million loads of food, everything will be different.
Even if the Turks came, Datang would still be able to fight.
This time, the Tang Dynasty really got rid of the blessings of the King of Chu and was able to get millions of tons of grain for nothing.
Absolutely amazing!
It’s really amazing!
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin and Du Ruhui couldn't hold it in. They were afraid that if they stayed any longer, their secret would be exposed.
Although everyone in the hall is now a member of our own people, the matter did not succeed after all.
If something unexpected happens, they simply can't afford it.
It slipped directly.
Staggering and running away.
I plan to find a place and drink for two days while waiting for the millions of tons of food to arrive!
"Hey... Your Majesty is under too much pressure. Let's go."
"The auxiliary engine, Wei Zheng and the others must be under great pressure. Unexpectedly, they are almost going crazy."
"Let's go too. We can't worry about His Majesty. I feel really... uncomfortable."
Li Jing let out a long sigh and left here.
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and Wei Zheng all shook their heads, worried, and their steps were a little heavy.
….…….……….
"Do you know that there was chaos in the court this morning? The Turks were furious because the marriage was canceled the day before yesterday. They asked Your Majesty to give them many tributes. However, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is empty, and Your Majesty cannot give it, so I can only use it.
A rare treasure to repay.”
"I've also heard that this rare treasure is a peerless treasure left behind by an overseas fairy island. It is said that it was carved using the Heaven-Mending Stone of Empress Nuwa?"
"Yes, who says it's not? As soon as this rare treasure came out, it was accompanied by countless wolf howls. This thing suppressed the fate of our Tang Dynasty, but this time it is going to belong to the Turks. Damn it! How should we, the Tang Dynasty, deal with it in the future?
Turks?"
"There is no other way, there is no other way. Your Majesty has really paid too much for the Tang Dynasty. Alas... if you give this rare treasure to the Turks, then from now on, the Turks will become stronger and stronger, and I, the Tang Dynasty, will become more and more powerful."
Decline is difficult and difficult!”
"I am shocked by what King Chu said, but it is too difficult to do it."
"Don't say anything depressing. Your Majesty is still insisting. It's nothing more than a rare treasure. At worst, I will die waiting for it!"
"That's right! However, this peerless treasure is going to be given to the Turks, and I really can't bear to do it!
"
"This treasure is so precious. I heard it is far more valuable than He's Bi. But today, it was only exchanged for a million tons of grain. This... our Tang Dynasty is really going to suffer a loss!
"
"There is nothing we can do. Who said that three years ago, our Tang Dynasty suffered a complete defeat?"
"Tujue really got a big deal this time. I think I could laugh out of my dreams."
"……."
Countless people were discussing it on the streets of Chang'an.
The matter of the morning court cannot be kept secret for long, let alone such an important matter.
Rare treasure!
Suppress the fortune of the Tang Dynasty!
But in two days, it will belong to the Turks.
It's too awful!
It’s really too miserable!
Not to mention how aggrieved the people are, this is their own treasure, but let others sell it at a low price, just like the poor people in the end, they can only sell their fertile land at a very low price.
Why…….
The people of Chang'an were really deeply touched.
In the streets and alleys, everyone is sighing, beating their chests and wailing, feeling helpless, hating the Turks for being greedy, and hating themselves for being incompetent!
Imperial College.
Kong Yingda was in the room, looking intently at the book in his hand.
Yu Shinan came in a hurry with a robe in one hand and a serious expression on his face.
"Go far, go far, no good, no good, something big has happened!"
"
"Go far away, above the court, our Tang Dynasty is about to lose the thing that suppresses the destiny of the country. It's broken, it's broken!
"
"Go far, go far..."
Yu Shinan yelled, pushed the door open with his body, and squatted in front of Kong Yingda, sweating profusely.
Kong Yingda looked at him doubtfully.
Yu Shinan immediately told what happened in the morning.
"Chongyuan, what do you think about this matter?"
"Chongyuan, why don't you say anything, Chongyuan!"
Yu Shinan was anxious.
Kong Yingda glanced at him and sighed deeply.
"This is the destiny of me and the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to panic. What are you afraid of? As long as His Highness the King of Chu is here in the Tang Dynasty, we cannot turn the world upside down!"
"
Kong Yingda opened his mouth and scolded.
"King Chu...but..."
Yu Shinan didn't know why Kong Yingda was so confident in Chu King Li Kuan.
but…….
Kong Yingda had already lowered his head to read a book again.
He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He could only sigh, then stood up and ran outside.
He was going to talk to the other Masters.
Kong Yingda turned the page of the book.
He raised his head and looked at Yu Shinan who had disappeared.
The study door is ajar.
The autumn breeze, which seemed to be already a bit cool, blew in slightly.
It's almost September now, and the weather has begun to become neither warm nor dry, and the wind is extremely comfortable.
The sweet-scented osmanthus tree at the door has begun to bloom, and the chrysanthemums on both sides are angry and fragrant.
The sky is very blue.
The grass is very green.
Everything is beautiful.
Kong Yingda smiled.
He lowered his head again, smiled and read.
The treasure of the Tang Dynasty?
If it is true, His Highness the King of Chu will never allow the treasure to pass away to others, and if His Highness the King of Chu does not come forward, then this matter will definitely not be as simple as it seems.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just let the wind continue to blow for a while.
…….…….…….
Northern Xinjiang.
The temperature here can already be called cold.
This year, it seems to be earlier than before.
However, no one felt anything was different.
Northern Xinjiang is a wild land. Who cares if the weather here is hotter or colder?
No one cares!
Might as well think about what to eat tonight.
During the late Sui Dynasty, the Eighteenth Route Army rebelled against the king and fought for the world.
Later, they were defeated one by one by Li Shimin, but one of them was not eliminated. Instead, it retreated to northern Xinjiang and relied on the Turks to establish the Liang Kingdom.
This person is Liang Shidu.
Because of the support of the Turks, the Liang Kingdom, which only had four cities, turned out to be a nail deep in the Tang Dynasty.
The Turks often used the Liang Kingdom as a challenge and harassed the Tang Dynasty from time to time.
Datang had absolutely no choice.
I can only blow my beard and stare, suffer this dumb loss, and endure it.
It is not easy to attack the Turks. It is almost impossible to bypass the Liang Kingdom and attack the Turks. If you are not careful, you will be surrounded and annihilated by the Liang army and the Turks.
It would be even more difficult to conquer the Liang Kingdom first. With the help of the Turks, the four cities had been built to be impregnable.
If you want to destroy the Liang Kingdom, the price you have to pay cannot be underestimated.
If we pay too high a price to eliminate the Liang Kingdom and weaken the border defense, if the Turks take the opportunity and repeat the disaster three years ago, it will really be more than the gain is worth the loss.
Datang was extremely cautious.
Don't dare to take the initiative easily.
For Liang Guo, he had a severe headache and there was absolutely nothing he could do.
This seems to be a dead end.
Liangcheng!
This is a magnificent city among the four cities and is also where the capital of the Liang Kingdom is located.
The Liang Palace in the center.
"Hahaha... Come, come, drink, drink, drink!"
"What's the point of fighting for the world? It's better to be free and at ease like this."
"Then Li Shimin, I think it's better for me to live comfortably."
Master Liang was holding a wine glass in his hand, looking at the dancer under the palace, laughing drunkenly.
Beside him, a dozen palace maids were waiting on him.
Those who pinch the feet, those who hammer the legs, those who press the shoulders...
All available.
Below, many generals who followed Liang Shidu were also lying in the hall with their wine glasses in their hands.
"The general is right!"
"Hahaha... Then Li Shimin, kid, I don't know why I have a headache now. I heard there was a locust plague this year, and now the Turkic mission to ask for food has gone again. Damn it, what's the point of being an emperor? This is how comfortable we are!
"
"Who says it's not the case? Come on, general, let's drink and drink. We, Li Shimin, are so cool every day. It's absolutely impossible for him, Li Shimin!"
"
"That's right, let's go hunting in the grassland when we have nothing to do. When we have free time, we can lead the army out of the city and scan the Tang Dynasty."
"This day is beautiful!
"
"……."
The group of people below laughed and were extremely arrogant.
"yes!"
"This Li Shimin has nothing to do with us. Last time he tried to attack the city in a sneak attack, but in the end he killed and injured five or six hundred people and fled in a hurry."
"Hmph, I think the Tang Dynasty is no match for the Turks!"
"We hold on to the Turks' thighs. Who knows, sometimes we can go to Chang'an and snatch some of Li Shimin's concubines for fun."
"The Queen Changsun is so famous that I have been coveting her for a long time!
"
Master Liang said, his eyes like a jackal showing extremely crazy desire.
Licking his teeth with his tongue,
There was a beast-like greed on his face.
"General, it's quick, it's quick, it must be quick, don't worry, hahaha..."
"Yes, three years ago, the Turks invaded Chang'an, but we did not participate. Next time, we will definitely join in!
"
"That's right, when the time comes, our Liang Kingdom will capture a few more cities in northern Xinjiang and gradually encroach on the Tang Dynasty. We, the Liang Kingdom, will not become the overlord one day!
"
"General, when the time comes, Queen Changsun will definitely catch her and offer it to you first."
"……."
Everyone yelled.
The voice is arrogant.
"Hahaha...good, good!
"
Master Liang shouted.
But, right now...
Da da da…….
Footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
"Go tell the King of Hell this!"
An extremely sudden and cold voice came out all of a sudden.
next moment.
The smile on Master Liang's face suddenly stopped, and his eyes suddenly stared outside.
The group of generals below also suddenly stood up in shock.
"Who! Someone is coming!"
"Whoever dares to break into our imperial city of Liang will be shot without mercy!
"
Master Liang shouted.
"Stop screaming, all your people are dead."
"Now, only a few of you are alive in the imperial city, hehehe..."
"I have to say that the shelter His Highness found for us is really good."
Amid chuckles, two people walked in side by side.
One person has a graceful temperament and is holding a silk scarf.
One person is as cold as frost, and wears an embroidered spring knife at his waist.
"Who are you to be so presumptuous!
"
"Our country of Liang is impregnable, no one can enter!"
Master Liang suddenly stood up.
Those generals all retreated in front of Liang Shidu.
The maids in the main hall were all panicking and lying on the ground with pale faces.
"No one can get in?"
"It's impregnable? What a joke. Let me ask the world, is there any place in the West Factory that I can't go to?"
The man with a graceful temperament chuckled.
Next to it, the embroidered spring knife has been unsheathed.
"The Jinyi Guards are following His Highness's orders to kill the traitors!
"
"Your Highness? Who are you?"
"Xichang? Jinyiwei? Why has this general never heard of it?"
Master Liang didn't believe it. He really didn't believe it. He had never heard of these two places. It would be really frustrating to die in the hands of these two strangers.
"My lord? You don't deserve to know! Kill!"
"
The Xiuchun knife came out, and a figure rushed forward.
The graceful man stood there, shook his head with a smile, and said: "Master Shen, please be slower. After all, you have just arrived in the north, so I will give you the credit."
】
"This governor will not snatch these from you."
As soon as he finished speaking, several heads were already rolling to the ground in front of him.
Only Master Liang was left.
now.
His face was pale.
Shortness of breath.
Legs feel weak.
Unable to control himself, a yellowish-white substance directly covered the entire trouser leg.
too fast!
It's really too fast!
He has never seen such a fast move before. Over the years, he has climbed through the mountains of swords and blood.
However, he has never encountered such horror.
These subordinates of my own are elites no matter what, otherwise they would not be alive today.
Can…….
Can…….
Now I can't bear the opponent's blow at all.
Completely unbearable!
Numb!
Completely numb!
thump…….
Master Liang knelt directly on the ground, crawling through the blood on the ground towards the gate.
Like a dog that has lost its home over and over again.
The embroidered spring knife is sheathed.
The cold man looked at him and followed Master Liang step by step.
"We are all from the same origin, but we are helping foreigners, burning, killing, looting and looting people of the same race. Your Highness has ordered that we will kill them without mercy!"
"
He shouted coldly.
"No, no, no..."
"I didn't, I didn't, I didn't."
Master Liang shook his head wildly, his voice trembling, and he used all his strength to crawl towards the door of the hall.
It was as if he was safe once he climbed out of the hall.
