Li Qing walked into the tent and saw Gao Xianzhi sitting behind a large table, looking at him coldly, neither speaking nor greeting, as if he was looking at a feud he had never met.

Li Qing walked to the side seat and sat down, smiled slightly and said, "It has been nearly half a year since Shiguo left, and the general seems to not know me anymore."

"Not bad! I really don't know you until now."

Gao Xianzhi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, staring at Li Qing and said word by word: "Li Qing, you have done a good thing on your back!"

Faced with Gao Xianzhi's aggressiveness, Li Qing's tone gradually became tougher: "I don't understand Gao Shuai's words. You might as well say it bluntly, what did I do behind your back?"

"Okay! OK!" Gao Xianzhi said ok twice, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask you, when the Deputy King of Shi Kingdom Mo He came to the Imperial State, why didn't you report me to me? You handed over the fire with the Dashi Army, why didn't you allow me to approve it? You have done everything on my back. Don't forget that I am the main job in Anxi. If you do not overestimate your authority, be careful that I will kill you with the crime of not following the military order!"

Li Qing smiled at the sky: "I didn't expect that Gao Dashen will attack me!"

He slowly curled his smile and his eyes gradually became cold, "You said it well, you are the main position in Anxi, so I can go to Shule to prepare for the war. I can give you the commander of the Western Route Army to you, but don't forget that my official position is not just the deputy escort of Anxi, nor is it just the chief of Anxi. You have to think clearly, Gao Da, I am not all the official titles below you."

Gao Xianzhi was shocked, and then he remembered that Li Qing had another title of Censor, and he was just the Chief Censor, which was one level lower than him. Moreover, he was now the pacifier of Anxi and Beiting towns, and had the talisman given by the emperor and executed the emperor's order. If he didn't mention it, he really forgot.

Gao Xianzhi's face turned red and white, and his chest was fluttering violently. His red eyes stared at Li Qing tightly, as if blood was about to drip. Suddenly, he smiled gloomyly, walked to the reconciliation curtain and shouted to the external soldiers: "Bring someone up to me."

Xi Yuanqing, who had been standing outside the tent, was shocked. He had been with Gao Xianzhi for five years, but it was the first time he saw him so angry. He couldn't help but feel deeply worried about Li Qing. After all, he was too young and shouldn't have seized power without authorization. Although Gao Xianzhi didn't say it, he hated him deeply in his heart. How can he get along in the future?

After a moment, Gao Xianzhi's personal soldiers brought one person and waved to Xi Yuanqing, signaling him to leave soon. Xi Yuanqing was shocked when he saw this person. He stood up for a moment, turned around suddenly, and quickly walked towards Li Siye's tent.

The leather curtain was lifted, and two personal soldiers were escorted into one person. Li Qing looked sideways, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He slowly stood up. This person was Che Bishi, the king of Shi Kingdom who he ordered to escort to Beijing. He was brought back by Gao Xianzhi again. What do Gao Xianzhi want to do? The battle is imminent, does he want to make trouble again?

"Sir Gao, the cannibal is ready for war, and what do you want to do?"

"A big cannibal is nothing!"

Gao Xianzhi smiled coldly and glanced at Li Qing and said, "The Emperor ordered me to teach those Hu Kingdoms in the Western Regions who dared to betray the Tang Dynasty, and of course, it also includes the ignorant food. I want to act according to the emperor's will. If you are afraid, go back to Chang'an!"

He pointed at the chariot and said in an unquestionable tone: "This person told me that Deputy King Mo He has colluded with Dashiwei, and the envoy of the Tang Dynasty was greedy for his daughter's beauty and helped him launch a coup and ignore the interests of the Tang Dynasty. This matter is of great importance. The general must go to Shiguo to interrogate clearly who is the one who betrayed the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Qing took a deep breath, and he stood up, straightened his waist, and said clearly and calmly: "Master Gao, if you want to do your own thing, I will not stop you, but you must remember that the territory of Dashi is as powerful as my Tang Dynasty, and it is definitely not the Hu Kingdom like the Western Regions. They have been planning the East for a long time. If you underestimate them, once you make a big mistake, you will become a sinner in history!"

After saying that, he opened the curtain and left briskly. Gao Xianzhi walked to the camp and watched Li Qing's figure gradually disappear. Then he said to himself: "Can you be afraid of what I, Gao Xianzhi, decides, with just a few words?"

He turned around and bowed to his personal soldiers and said, "Go to tell the people of Grolu that they can take all the property of the Shi Kingdom, but they cannot make any statement."

"Master, then will we still enter Thunderbolt City?"

Gao Xianzhi shook his head gently, he stared at the West, and after a while, he said: "I ordered Li Siye to lead infantry and archers into Saiye City as planned, and the cavalry followed me to Shiguo and set off tomorrow morning!"

As night fell, the field was covered with a thin layer of white mist. Li Qing's war horse ran through the white mist like lightning. The dense sound of horse hooves woke up the creatures on the field. He suddenly pulled the reins and the war horse slowed down.

At this time, Duan Xiushi, who was behind, rushed up. In the night, he saw Li Qingting looking at the direction of Tuozhe City, with a complicated look. He couldn't help but go forward and said, "Governor, the enemy is in front of you, your conflict with Gao Shuai will be detrimental to the Tang army. It's better for us to bear it."

"Hold on?"

Li Qing turned his head and looked at Duan Xiushi. He shook his head firmly and said, "Do you think I want to seize power? The emperor ordered me to be the commander of the Western Route Army, and also ordered me to be the comfort envoy of Anxi and Beiting towns. Bian Lingcheng did not follow him this time. This meaning is already very obvious. If I want to seize power, why bother to fight with Gao Xianzhi at this time, but if I tolerate this, I will let Gao Xianzhi fight against the Great Cannibal, and the Tang army will undoubtedly be defeated!"

"So, I can't bear it!" Li Qing's eyes looked towards Tuozhe City again, and an indeceptible sinister flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that Li Qing had made up his mind, Duan Xiushi stopped persuading him. He wanted to ask him what he had made, but he couldn't speak. In the end, he just moved his lips. Li Qing understood what he meant, smiled slightly, patted his shoulder and said, "I can't tell you about this, you will naturally understand it later."

He suddenly turned around and called Wu Xingsu, and repeatedly reminded him: "If you go to Tuozhe City, please ask Princess Luo Lan to Baishui City overnight. He said that I was sick by Gao Xianzhi Qi. Remember! If you want to take her out of the city overnight, you must not waste your time."

At noon the next day, ten miles east of Tuozhe City, overwhelming cavalry appeared on the horizon. From a distance, it seemed like a jumping black line, which was coming from the east at an extremely fast speed. The black line gradually narrowed, and the yellow flag was flying in the air, and the huge roar was about to shake the earth.

One mile away from the city, the speed of the Tang cavalry and the Grolu cavalry began to slow down, and finally stopped. Gao Xianzhi was full of armor and his eyes were cold. At the city gate, a team slowly walked out of the city gate. This was the King of Shi Kingdom Mo He and some of his important officials came to greet Gao Xianzhi's army surrounded by more than 100 guards.

In the Western Regions, Gao Xianzhi's authority was far greater than that of Li Longji, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This was just like a small county peasant was afraid that county officials were better than emperors. His strong strength and arrogant attitude made the monarchs of these small Western countries feared him and hated him. Every spring, they would send special envoys to Kucha to meet Gao Xianzhi, present gifts and servile words, indicating that they would always surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Shi Kingdom was no exception. During the reign of Che Bishi, he paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year and sent special envoys to Kucha to offer gifts to Gao Xianzhi every year. But even Mo He dared to contact Li Qing privately with him on his back. Without this person, Li Qing would not have intervened in the affairs of Shi Kingdom, nor could he be promoted to the pacification envoy of Beiting and Anxi towns.

Gao Xianzhi stared at Mo Hedu, who was getting closer and closer, and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes. He was approaching, three hundred steps.

Two hundred steps.

Fifty steps, the king and minister of Shi Kingdom got off their horses and walked towards Gao Xianzhi with flattering smiles. However, the hands of the god of death had cut off their vitality.

"Kill!" Gao Xianzhi gave a quick and short order. The cavalry suddenly instigated, and the darkness was boundless, like a flood that broke into a dam. In an instant, it swallowed more than a hundred Shiguo rulers and ministers. The army did not stop, but continued to move forward and rushed into the city gate. A catastrophe enveloped the sky above Tuozhe City.

Princess Luo Lan suddenly had a cold war. The pen in her hand tilted, and the last stroke of the word An in Chang'an pierced out, leaving a long black ink on the paper. She 'ah!' said, lifted the pen, looked at the Chinese characters she wrote crookedly, and smiled apologetically at Li Qing: "Actually, I wrote very well when I was in Chang'an. I haven't practiced it for the past two years, and my hands are a little bit bored."

Li Qing silently stared at this beautiful girl. Over the past few months, she had expressed her love to herself implicitly many times, but he kept smiling and not answering, neither refusing nor agreeing.

If he was ten years younger, he might fall in love with her, forget everything around him, don’t have to eat or think about life, and be the only one who misses him in his heart.

But Li Qing won't do it anymore. Years of cruel official struggles have made his heart gradually become cold and hard. On the road of murderous intent, a mistake or even a woman's kindness will make him fall into a state of robbery. Since he has embarked on this path, he has no choice.

In fact, even if Princess Luo Lan is ugly, he will still possess her, not for love, but for her special identity, the only heir to the throne of Shi Kingdom. If Mo He died suddenly, only she could command the Shi Kingdom's army, and Li Qing could also take Shi Kingdom into his arms in the end. If he was kind and ruthless, he would never be able to accomplish great things.

Gao Xianzhi's army had already set out early in the morning and should enter Tuozhe City at this time. Li Qing made a fuss in his heart and finally made up his mind.

It's time to close the internet.

He saw Princess Luo Lan finish writing, and walked behind her, pressed her hand intentionally or unintentionally on her shoulders, tilted her head and looked at the words, and smiled and said, "Your last word An is too long, are you still a little unsatisfied?"

Princess Luo Lan's heart was beating wildly. Li Qing's hand was placed on her shoulders. Her cheeks were burning red. Suddenly, a sense of courage rose from her heart. Her hand slowly reached up and gently pressed on the back of his hand. She raised her head and looked at Li Qing, her eyes full of joy and expectation.

Li Qing gently raised her jaw and lowered her head to kiss her plump and curved lips. The buzzing sound in Princess Luo Lan's mind turned into blank. The man seemed to float in the air, her whole body was soft and weak. She fell into his arms, her eyes were closed tightly, and her long eyelashes kept beating, allowing his hands to slide down from her shoulders, and she was so nervous that she was about to jump out. At this moment, she only had this man, his lips, and

Hand, everything about him is the most important in life. No matter what he wants, she is willing to give it to him. Li Qing picked up her legs, picked her up horizontally, and walked towards the inner room. Princess Luo Lan's chest was fluctuating violently and her breathing was rapid. She closed her eyes tightly and hugged his neck tightly. The most critical moment in life was about to come. She resolutely made up her mind and dedicated her body and mind to this man of the Tang Dynasty without reservation.

In Tuozhe City, Gao Xianzhi rushed into the treasury of the Shi Kingdom. The dazzling gold and dazzling gems made him unable to open his eyes. He laughed wildly, and all of this was his.

Groups of Geluo people rushed into the wealthy families and ruthlessly plundered everything, wealth, women, rolling smoke enveloped the sky above Turkic nobles, but could not escape the crazy war horses, wealth became the death talisman for their death. Li Qing's arrival changed the trajectory of the Tang Dynasty, but ultimately failed to escape the disaster in history. At the same time as the killing in Tuozhe City, Princess Luo Lan moaned in pain under Li Qing,

She welcomed her with great help without knowing that she was full of lust. The mature man brought her to the top of the paradise again and again. After a lot of time, the rain finally stopped. Princess Luo Lan curled up next to Li Qing like a pole cat, but her hands were playing tricking on his earlobe. Seeing that he ignored him, she stretched out her mouth and blew it in his ear, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you are sick by Gao Xianzhi? I think it's more energetic than ten tigers."

Li Qing turned his head and glanced at her, carried her to himself, and smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter to be angry. Yesterday, in his handsome tent, the martial artist actually wanted to kill me!"

"Why?" Princess Luo Lan sat up and looked at Li Qing in surprise, "Does your Tang army also have internal conflicts?"

Li Qing snorted coldly, and he put on his clothes first. While helping Princess Luo Lan get the dress, he whispered: "I don't have to hide it from you now. In name, I am Anxi's deputy commander, but in fact I and him are in charge of their own affairs, and the water in the well will not violate the rivers. However, during this trip to Shiguo, he thought that I had surpassed his power, and the conflict between us broke out. You may not know yet that he actually intercepted Che Bishi who sent me to Chang'an and brought me back."

"What!" Princess Luo Lan was shocked. She suddenly became worried. 'Che Bishi is back again. What should my father do? Can his throne be kept?' She was confused. She suddenly hugged Li Qing's waist, raised her head and begged him, "You must help us!"

"Don't worry, I will never let Chebishi take the throne back."

Li Qing held her face and stared into her eyes and said, "And you! Although I, Li Qing, sometimes, are despicable and shameless, I promise a fortune. Since I have obtained your body and mind, I will never let you become someone else's woman again. Do you understand?"

Princess Luo Lan nodded gently, "I understand!" Her eyes suddenly turned red, and her head slowly leaned against Li Qing's chest. A trace of strength appeared in her weak tone, "Although I am a Turkic woman, I also know that as long as you don't abandon me, if the Shi Kingdom is defeated by the Great Food, I would rather die than marry Abbas."

As the sun sets, the blood-red sunset shines on the ground, illuminating their faces and bodies red. At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside. A personal soldier rushed into the yard and reported loudly: "Governor! The big thing is not good. Gao Xianzhi has led his army to the Tuozhe City. King Mohedu and all the nobles have been killed!"

"My Father!" The sudden news was like a bolt from the blue. Princess Luo Lan was suddenly stunned. For a long time, she suddenly became soft and fainted on the ground.

The night gradually became deeper. Princess Luo Lan looked at the stars in the sky, and tears had dried up. She stared at the sky and said nothing. She had known the cruelty of the Grolu people for a long time, but she did not expect that the Tang army would also participate. Instead, it was the Western Regions Protector Gao Xianzhi who personally led the troops. She could not believe the facts she had heard.

My father is dead, what should she do in the future?

Li Qing walked to her and gently draped a piece of clothing on her, "Don't touch me!" Princess Luo Lan stood up suddenly and shouted at Li Qing: "You know, that's why you took me here, right?"

Li Qing stared at her silently. After a while, he nodded, but shook his head again, "Yes, the reason I took you here was because of concern for this matter, but this was just a guess from me. He told me that he was going to Shiguo to interrogate your father if he colluded with Dashi. I guess he might lead troops to attack, maybe he really went to interrogate your father, but no matter what, you must not stay there, so I took you out first, but unexpectedly the worst ending came."

Princess Luo Lan slowly covered her face and cried mournfully, "Then why don't you stop him?"

"I have turned against him, how can I stop him? The reason why he killed your father was because your father was indifferent to him because he cooperated with me."

Li Qing sighed, walked slowly to her side, put his clothes on her, and said apologetically: "I have a responsibility for this matter. Maybe I should remind your father to prepare early, but what if he knows? If Gao Xianzhi really just wants to interrogate him, then running away or resist will prove that his judgment is correct. If Gao Xianzhi has murderous intentions, your father can't escape."

Princess Luo Lan looked at Li Qing blankly. She saw a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes. She suddenly felt soft and threw herself into his arms. She hugged him and cried sadly, "What should I do?"

Li Qing was indeed guilty. Everything was in his calculations. He could have taken Mo Hedu and his daughter to Baishui City together, but in order to replace Gao Xianzhi, he had to make Mo Hedu a victim. This may be the ruthlessness and cruelty of political struggle.

He hugged Princess Luo Lan tightly into his arms and said pity: "You can follow me in the future! I will ask for an explanation for your father's death!"

It was already late at night, and Princess Luo Lan was exhausted and was already asleep in the inner room. Li Qing sat at the table and wrote quickly. Gao Xianzhi killed Mo Hedu, killed all the nobles of Shiguo, and looted the entire city. He took all the gold and jewelry in the treasury for himself, one by one, one by one, and one by one.

Li Qing impeached Li Longji to despise Gao Xianzhi and destroy the agreement he reached with Shiguo and Bahanna. He pointed out that his greed and cruelty would greatly damage the reputation of the Tang Dynasty among the Western Regions and corrupt the lofty prestige of Tian Khan. He asked the court to severely punish Gao Xianzhi!

After writing the memorial, Li Qing breathed a light sigh. He put down his pen and stood up and walked into the inner room. He silently stared at Princess Luo Lan who was sleeping, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. From now on, their destiny will be linked together.

Li Qing turned around and added another line at the end of the memorial, asking Li Longji to appoint Princess Qian Shirolan, the daughter of Mohedu, as the new king of the Stone Kingdom.
Chapter completed!
