Outside the Dingxiang camp, a group of soldiers were transporting food and grass. They were soldiers from Hedong to transport food and grass for winter to the Turks.

After transporting the last truck of food, one of the strong men breathed a sigh of relief and quietly walked to the reeds by the river where there were no one around. Is there any urgent situation?

A rapid stream poured out, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. The man went upstream to lift a handful of water, washed his hands, and wiped his face.

Although there were ice slags in some places and the river water was quite cold, he didn't care at all, but felt very refreshing.

When he was about to leave, he accidentally saw a group of people walking across the river, some wearing bright furs and some wearing Han costumes popular in Chang'an.

Such a combination always seems to be a little weird when it comes here.

It is not surprising that people are wearing furs near Dingxiang because they are mainly gathering places for the Turks; it is not surprising that there are occasionally officials and guests from Chang'an, and people wearing Han and Tang suits.

However, they appeared together, and it was a bit sneaky and sneaky. The accompanying person seemed to be a subordinate of the Heshun Prince's tent and a close confidant of Asunas. What did they want to do if they arranged these people in a remote place across the river in such a low-key manner?

The strong man is a person with rich experience, with a very sharp vision and thinking, and he suddenly realizes something.

This is probably not simple!

After the strong man had this idea in his mind, he hid in the reeds and observed quietly. When he returned to the convoy carrying food and grass, it was inevitable that it was a little late.

"Brother Kan, why have you been there for so long? Is it okay?" A young man walked up and asked softly.

"It's okay, I'm a little diarrhea." The strong man was no one else, but Kan Ling, who was sent to Hedong.

Originally, it was said that people like him would be controlled, but because his British Duke Li Ji had a good relationship in private and Xie Yi's relationship, he was relatively relaxed to him.

Although we are doing things at the grassroots level, at least freedom is not particularly restricted. For example, it is okay to leave Hedong and come to Dingxiang.

Of course, the premise is that you cannot escape from the army.

Li Ji was sure of this. As long as Du Fuwei's daughter, Mrs. Cai Guo, Du Xijun, was still in Chang'an, Kan Ling would not do this, so she could let him go out with peace of mind.

"Oh." The young man responded without doubt, and smiled: "It's been sent. We will go back to Hedong tomorrow morning. It's not too far away. Dingxiang is so cold."

"Well, it's cold, have a good night's sleep." Kan Ling ordered and walked to the camp arranged by the Turks.

It's late in winter, and it's dark soon after.

The soldiers who had been working for a day were very tired, so they fell asleep early, but Kan Ling couldn't sleep.

He has been outside for many years and has been engaged in too many things. He knows a lot of unknown news and secrets, so when he sees some scenes, he subconsciously associates and deduces them.

Intuition told him that the situation I saw by the river today might be unusual, and I felt that it was necessary to figure it out, otherwise I would always feel a little uneasy.

So when the soldiers who were walking with them fell asleep, Kan Ling quietly stood up, and with her superb skills, she passed through the patrolling Turkic soldiers and came to the specially separated tents on the other side of the river.

Lurked outside a tent for a long time, until he heard someone's name, he was ready to leave quietly, and his heart was beating wildly.

It turned out that these people came to Dingxiang. There was no doubt that they were coming to Ashinasmo.

It goes without saying what they want to do. Kan Ling is an experienced person. He knows very well what serious consequences will be caused if this happens.

Therefore, the news must be passed back as soon as possible and try to stop this matter. Li Ji from Jinyang must know that he heard that his good brother-in-law Xie Yi has also arrived in Jinyang, so they must know about this matter and avoid it as soon as possible.

He clearly heard that the angry words of Prince Xueyantuo in the tent contained the name of his brother-in-law.

It is precisely because of this that Kan Ling was a little anxious, so she inevitably made some noises, which caused unnecessary trouble.

This is the residence of the second prince Xueyantuo Tulishi. The protection is already tight. In addition, it was also a crucial secret matter to come to Dingxiang and Ashinasmo before to discuss privately, so be extra careful.

Although Kan Ling only made a slight sound, she still attracted the attention of the guards and immediately followed the sound. It was not easy to escape quietly and calmly in front of a group of masters.

Kan Ling was discovered, but fortunately he was very skilled in martial arts, so he was gladly not injured under the siege of Xue Yantuo and Turkic guards. He just wanted to escape but it was not easy.

As Xue Yantuo's guards pressed forward step by step, it was dangerous. As time went by, the blade was getting closer and closer to him. In this situation, it was really not possible to escape with superb martial arts.

Kan Ling couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was careless. It would be fine if her life was gone, but in this way...

The news cannot reach Jinyang. What should be done about this big thing? What will happen to be out of control is simply unimaginable.

Just as Kan Ling shouted in her heart that my life was over, a figure suddenly flashed out, and a cold river with ice slag suddenly splashed out was still quite powerful.

The moment the group of Xue Yantuo and the Turkic guards avoided, the two were given a chance to escape.

"Brother Kan, go quickly!"

Only then did Kan Ling notice that his savior was the young man who spoke to him at noon.

"It's you?"

"I see that Brother Kan has been out for a long time and is afraid that something will happen, so I come and check it out."

Kan Ling smiled and said, "Luckily, you are here."

This is true at all. It is much easier for two masters to break through than one person. Moreover, the young man seemed to have prepared himself and chose the path. He grabbed two horses at the first time. With some luck, they took advantage of the panic and ran out.

Many Turkic cavalry followed, but the sky was dark, and it was not easy to catch two horses on the grassland.

It is precisely because of this that Kan Ling and the other two had the opportunity to escape and then galloped towards Hedong.

The exposure and escape of eavesdropping will inevitably lead to the accelerated deterioration of the incident. The news must be informed to Li Ji, the British Duke of Hedong as soon as possible.

...

"What? The grain transporters from Hedong fled?" Asunasmo's face changed suddenly when he heard the news.

Tu Lishi said helplessly: "Yes, he didn't know how long he had been lurking outside my tent, and he heard and saw something. Now that people have not caught it, the news must have spread. If Li Ji and Li Shimin get the news, they will not be able to do so."

"Hmph!" Asuna Smoo snorted coldly, without saying anything, and he could already smell the scent of conspiracy in his heart. A group of people besieged two people and actually fled. This matter made him feel something was wrong no matter how he looked at it.

Tu Lishi said in a deep voice: "Khan, for the sake of the current plan, we can only take action in advance. Before the Tang army responds or prepares, it may be effective."

"Take it early?" Asuna Smo frowned, looking a little unhappy, and some of his thoughts became more and more confirmed. Could it be that Shilishu was playing a show for himself and forcing him to submit earlier?

Asunasmo felt a little unhappy and said without any pain: "How to do it now? The river has not been frozen yet, and our army is not convenient for crossing the river, and your father's army has not arrived yet, so how to move the troops?"

Tulimo was a little speechless for a moment. Xue Yantuo and the Turks were competing opponents on the grassland, so it was inevitable to be wary of each other. Even under the cooperative relationship, Asunasmo would definitely feel that letting him send troops first is to act as cannon fodder, and he would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

"Khan was too worried. Our common goal was the Tang people. We agreed to use Yinshan as the boundary and would not break our promise."

Tulishi's explanation was sincere, but also pale. Asunasmo still looked disbelief and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let your father lead the troops quickly, otherwise the prince should not talk too much in front of me again in the future."

As a result, the sudden loss was inevitable. Ashnasmo stopped moving when his father's army was not around. How many fighter jets were delayed this time?

Especially after thoroughly figuring out the identities of the two who escaped, the sudden loss of the lightning inevitably became a little heavy.

Bad luck!

This was the first time that a feeling came to Dingxiang and Ashinasmo to discuss such a major matter, and it was about to succeed. Who knew that such a thing would suddenly seem very bad, and it might even fail.

Why did a move and unload suddenly appear?

Is your luck so bad? I just shook my head in my heart, and then shook my head violently, wanting to deny this fact.

How could it be? How bad is your luck? As long as my father's army arrives, or if Ashnasmo moves, everything will be beautiful.

...

In Jinyang City, Xie Yi's recent days are very comfortable and relaxing.

In name, I never asked about the matter in Jinzhou, but in fact the report to Li Shimin has been sent out, which is an explanation. Moreover, Li Ji's men have already comforted Jinzhou and basically no trouble will happen again, so there is nothing to worry about.

As for possible abnormalities in the north and the storm that was about to rise, Li Ji has already gone to deal with it personally, and I think it will be done soon.

He stayed in Jinyang City and accompanied Li Zhi to the so-called former residence of Emperor Gaozu every day, and visited the ruins. After visiting all the places, he began to look a little bored.

However, I am not so anxious to leave. First, the process that should be taken must be completed, and second, Li Zhi is quite attached to Hedong. Of course, the main thing is that he is still attached to the lovely girl Wang Yan.

"Xie Changshi, how do you think I should talk about this with my father?" Li Zhi, who had just fallen in love, asked for emotional issues in a bit embarrassingly.

Xie Yi smiled and said, "Look at what Your Highness is going to say?"

"Is there any difference?" Li Zhi was a little puzzled.

"Of course there is." Xie Yi smiled and said, "Or your Highness told Your Majesty that you have a woman you like, it's easy, and Your Majesty will make it right away.

However, if Your Highness tells Your Majesty that you want to enthrone Wang Yan’s wife, it will probably not be so easy." Xie Yiyouyou said: "In addition to giving reasons, Your Highness must also have some excellence, or make some great contributions to win His Majesty's affirmation, and then take advantage of the festive opportunity to ask for some reward. Does Your Highness understand?"

"Uh, that's how it is!" Li Zhi responded lightly, suddenly feeling a little silent, not knowing what the young prince was thinking about.

In the Jinyang Palace, just as Li Zhi was pondering the young man's thoughts, there were rapid footsteps.

"Your Highness, Ah Lang, the British Duke is looking for a meeting in urgent need."

When they heard Ye Bei's report, Xie Yi and Li Zhi were slightly surprised. Didn't Li Ji go to the north? Why did he come back suddenly? What's the situation if he asks for a meeting in urgent matters?

Could it be that something major happened in the north? Xie Yi suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Please!"

Li Ji came quickly. After entering the hall and greeting Li Zhi, he said anxiously: "Your Highness, Xie Changshi, something happened."

"What's the matter?"

"Xue Yantuo's Tuli lost Dingxiang, and seemed to collude with Ashinasmo, and also involved Chang'an. The three of them colluded with each other." As soon as Li Ji spoke, he immediately raised the degree of the crisis to the highest level.

"Asinasimo?" Xie Yi's heart skipped a beat. It was indeed a bad premonition. It was self-evident what it means to collude with Xue Yantuo and Asinasimo. Especially when Tubo invaded Songzhou and Guanzhong Prefecture's troops were all moving south, he seemed particularly nervous.

"Duke of England, is the news of this matter accurate? Can you report it to Your Majesty?"

Li Ji said: "The news should be correct. I sent someone to Yanmen to pursue the whereabouts of ghosts in Dingxiang. I didn't want to meet Kan Ling, who went to Dingxiang to send food, to seek it back. He saw the sudden loss with his own eyes and heard his conversation. He finally escaped from the pursuit of the Turks.

In order to verify the news, all scouts and stakes in the north were started. It is basically certain that the truth is now. It is probably too late to report the news to Chang'an at this moment. The Yellow River is flowing in ice, and the ferry cannot pass. Moreover, the journey from Jinyang to Chang'an for many days is probably unstoppable."

"It's actually like this..." Xie Yi asked, "What's Ashinasmo's attitude? Are you sure you're going to rebel?"

"It's not certain, but now that things have come to this point, I'm afraid it's almost impossible to separate. The Xueyantuo tribe on the grassland is already being mobilized. If it arrives in Dingxiang and the Yellow River is frozen, Asunasmo may not be able to sit still."

Li Ji said: "The soldiers in Guanzhong are now empty. If they go south from the Heshuo Grassland, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

"This..." Not only Xie Yi, but even Li Zhi felt the degree of danger of the situation.

Li Ji said: "Hedong is not a safe place. I will send someone to escort His Highness and Xie Changshi to the river/nei, and find an opportunity to cross the Yellow River to Luoyang. It will be safer for the time being."

"How can that be done? The military situation in Hedong is in urgent need of emergency, but I run away, which will make people all over the world laugh." Unexpectedly, Li Zhi actually objected bluntly, and his eyes were full of light, and he seemed very excited.
Chapter completed!
