"Have you thought about it? When you ask them to help, you have to be honest with them." Li Jiangyao asked her: "If the other party asks something they shouldn't ask, can you tell them everything?"
"There is nothing we can't do." Lian Ji Qiao smiled and said: "Didn't they also say that they want to save my brother-in-law Murong Xue? We all have the same goal, why not join forces? As for being honest with each other, don't they just No secret? Last night, Miss Xiahou probably said that because she felt a little unhappy because of your status as a baron and my use of poison darts."
Li Jiangyao swallowed the fruit and said, "You mean, let me shamelessly beg them again?"
"Absolutely correct!" Lian Ji clapped her little hands and smiled happily: "If you can move those two masters here and rescue my sister and the others, then no matter what you want from the slave family, the slave family will give it to you."
Li Jiangyao smiled bitterly: "Come on, I don't dare to ask for it randomly." After saying that, he got up and left the bed, washed himself briefly with the water in the copper basin next to him, and then said to Lian Ji: "Really, do you want it?" There is a way. I can go there, but you have to stay here and stop running around. "
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm here waiting for your good news. I'm not going anywhere." Lian Ji smiled sweetly at him and responded softly.

Li Jiangyao walked out of the door and was about to go to the nearby house to find Wang Hai, but he saw the old man running in front of him in a panic and yelled: "Master Li, I have been waiting for you for a long time, why did you just come out? ? Something big happened!"
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Jiangyao asked in surprise. At the same time, he looked back at the yard, and then pulled Wang Hai to a secluded place nearby.
Wang Hai's face was full of anxiety: "The war has begun! War!"
Li Jiangyao was slightly startled: "Is it the fight over in Mianchi?"
"It's not just Mianchi! Fighting started in the west at the same time!" Wang Hai explained: "We just received news that ten days ago, the Turkic army suddenly launched a fierce attack. Zijin Pass and Shengyuguan fell one after another. Now the enemy's forward It is estimated that we will arrive at Liangzhou Mansion soon!"
Although he had imagined this situation countless times before, when Wang Hai said it himself, Li Jiangyao was still so shocked that his scalp went numb.
The damn Turks really took action against Shengtang!
Wang Hai continued: "Xie Guang obviously got the news earlier than us. Just the night before yesterday, he suddenly broke the stalemate between the two sides and commanded the Xuanjia Army to attack the imperial camp. Now Mianchi is struggling to kill Solve the problem!"
Hearing this, Li Jiangyao clenched his fists loudly.
Xie Guang is so cruel!
He calculated that the imperial court was in a dilemma because it suddenly learned of a large-scale foreign invasion. Taking advantage of the wavering morale of the army, he swooped forward and held back the main force of the imperial court.
This is tantamount to creating opportunities for the Turks! As long as Shengtang's army is contained to the east of Tongguan, the western defense line of the imperial capital will inevitably be empty of troops. In this case, the Turkic cavalry can travel unimpeded and continuously attack the city and land, approaching the capital of Shengtang.
Xie Guang's wishful thinking should be to use the hands of the Turks to completely destroy the imperial court and even kill the emperor Li Chengwu. Then he can take advantage of the situation and make the prince Li Bing the new emperor of the dynasty. He can use the emperor to control the princes and finally realize his plan to rule the world. .
For the sake of personal interests, they ignore the survival of the country and the life and death of soldiers and civilians, and resort to unscrupulous means to the extent that it is outrageous!
Li Jiangyao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wang, the situation is critical now. We can't wait any longer. We must give Xie Guang, the traitor, a blow! As long as the prince can be taken back in time, all the bastard's plots will come to nothing! "
"Yes, my lord, this is why I am humble. Please give me your orders."
"Go and notify Qiao Shengchun immediately and ask them to quickly implement the plans discussed yesterday. Tell them that I will launch it in advance!" Li Jiangyao said: "Let the brothers in all departments be alert and be prepared at any time. Wait for my call Order."
Wang Hai cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and responded firmly: "Yes, I humbly obey my orders."
"Also, has the spy next to Prince Nilin been contacted?" Li Jiangyao asked.
"I am about to report this matter to you." Wang Hai replied: "The contact was made yesterday. Everything was done according to your wishes, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Murong were not notified in advance."
Li Jiangyao felt a little relieved: "That's great. I'm going to see someone now. If everything goes well, with her help, we can get started soon!"
"Sir, are the other things you mentioned going to be done today?" Wang Hai hesitated a little: "Would this be enough to alert the enemy?"
"I was just trying to alert the enemy! Don't hesitate, go quickly!" Li Jiangyao urged firmly.

"Brother Bao, this is the latest adjustment of the imperial city's defense map. Please take a look." Di Xian held up the silk map with both hands for General Xuanjia Army, who was sitting behind the desk, to look at it.
This man was none other than Xie Guang's adopted son, Xie Bao, the highest military officer in Luoyi, the eastern capital at this time.
Xie Bao's ancestral home was Binhai, Shandong Province. He was not originally named Xie. He was just a small corps commander in the heavy barracks of the Xuanjia Army with an insignificant status.
However, this guy is extremely talented, his arms are extremely powerful, and he was taught by a famous master when he was young, so his martial arts is extremely outstanding. He often uses a pair of eight-sided bronze hammers, each of which weighs sixty-eight kilograms. , swinging the two hammers, with courage that is unworthy of all men.
When Xie Guang first became the commander-in-chief of the Xuanjia Army, he accidentally discovered him and naturally liked him very much. So he called him into his account and became a personal soldier. Later, he adopted him as his adopted son and changed his name to Xie Bao.
Xie Bao did live up to Xie Guang's expectations for him. Under Xuan Jia's command, he has repeatedly made military exploits and can be regarded as the most brave among the three armies. Apart from having some trouble with his brain, he is definitely the signature warrior of the Xuanjia Legion.
At this time, Xie Bao was sitting carelessly on the handsome chair and hummed to Di Xian: "Xiao Di, what are you doing with this useless thing? Don't you know that Mr. Bao is upset?"
Di Xian smiled when he heard this, put away the defense map, and asked: "Brother Bao, I wonder why you are troubled? Tell me, maybe I can help you break it down."
"Hmph! Isn't it just because of the war?" Xie Bao said dissatisfied: "You can tell me the reason. The last expedition to the Western Xinjiang was without me. Then something happened in the imperial capital without me. Now the fighting in Mianchi is in full swing. Or there’s no fucking me. Why? Am I worse than others?”
Di Xian laughed and waved his hands: "Brother Bao, that's wrong. As the saying goes, fine steel should be used on the blade. You are one of the top generals in our Xuanjia Legion, how can you send them out as soon as you come up? ? Unless it’s a battle to decide the outcome, I wouldn’t be willing to use Brother Bao if I were the Grand Tutor.”
Xie Bao scolded impatiently: "Don't you f**king flatter me here! When Xu Youchang was still here, he always suppressed me and took the position of the forward camp. Now he I’m running around the world with my tail between my legs, but I’m not asked to be a pioneer, right? I’m stuck in Luoyi all day long, it’s so frustrating!”
"Brother Bao, don't be impatient." Di Xian patiently persuaded him with good words: "Luoyi, the eastern capital, is now our base camp. How important is it? Master Tutor has handed it into your hands. This shows that the level of trust is unparalleled. What’s more, isn’t the prince still here? It’s also something that the prince cares about very much.”
After hearing this, Xie Bao suddenly couldn't help but feel proud, and said with a roaring smile: "What you said makes sense! If you are qualified to guard the base camp of the entire army, then you must be wise and brave, right? Haha Haha! It’s a pity that I don’t have the opportunity to kill people and fight, it’s not fun enough, it’s not fun enough!”
He shook his big head and asked: "By the way, how is Li Bing doing now? Is he closely guarded? Don't let that kid run away!"
Seeing that the fool's attention was finally drawn to the key issue, Di Xian cursed secretly in his mind, quickly spread out the silk and said, "Isn't this right? Brother, I have to ask you to go over the details."
Xie Bao leaned out, squinted his eyes, looked at the defense plan for a long time, smashed it and hummed: "Tsk, tsk? Are we going to send more troops to the palace again? Now we even need to set up sentries at each city gate? Yes?" Is it necessary?”
"Of course it's necessary, my Brother Bao." Di Xian said helplessly: "If there's a big battle in Mianchi, the imperial court will definitely rush to snatch the prince. I'm worried all day long now. I really have to Be careful."
"You're worrying about nothing!" Xie Bao sneered: "Li Bing is alone here, and at most Murong Xue, two dish dogs, what kind of big waves can they cause? The soldiers sent to you by the Taifu before, then That's enough, the key is that you and your men should be alert and don't be careless."
Di Xian cursed secretly: Who is so careless? You are the most insensitive and careless person! You keep talking about keeping an eye on the prince and not letting him get away, but every time you are asked to add more troops, you idiot always resists, as if your life is in danger!
However, despite thinking this way, Di Xian did not want to directly conflict with the grumpy Xie Bao, so he still said with a smile: "Brother Bao, you don't know something. Taifu and Mr. Lao sent someone to announce it the day before yesterday , saying that the people from the Beiya Nilin Division have rushed out to rescue Li Bing. As we are talking, those people may be making preparations outside the palace. The few troops I have now are keeping an eye on the palace. The area around the Imperial Study Room is a bit tight, and if there is any trouble, we won't be able to take care of everything."
Xie Bao chuckled: "Don't deceive me! Aren't you just looking at a prisoner? As long as Li Bing stays in his dormitory and doesn't go out or take a step toward the second door, what's there to be nervous about?"
Di Xian felt a headache, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the light sound of a bowstring in the distance outside the window, followed immediately by the sound of flying arrows breaking through the wind! Both of them reacted very quickly, and quickly swayed to dodge. A short arrow hit the back of the handsome chair without missing a beat.
A piece of cloth hangs from the end of the arrow shaft: Within three days, Li Binggou will be killed and Nilinsi will be killed.
