Xu Qilin grinned and defended: "Didn't the Wei Me win? It can be regarded as winning glory for the country and promoting the prestige of the Tang Dynasty?"

Humph, His Majesty Li Er replied with his nose, waved his hand, and said, "Let's retreat first! When the wool textile is tested successfully, I will reward you."

Just know, we are not afraid that you will despise anything that you don’t have any profits. If you make contributions, you will be rewarded. It is natural.

"When you go back and wait for the order to receive the order, the mission of Dayingku will officially give you so that you can avoid being idle and panic." His Majesty Li Er did not forget to add.

Well, go home and wait to take over the fifth-rank official Yingku envoy! Xu Qilin bowed and bowed and retreated.

On the way home, Xu Qilin was still thinking about the real reason why His Majesty Li Er asked Li Simo to lead the crowd north.

Judging from what His Majesty Li Er said, there seems to be some conspiracy, or a deeper and larger plan.

Perhaps, His Majesty Li Er made this malicious move to provoke Xue Yantuo. Li Simo and other Turkic people were just bait, a little mean to snatch Xue Yantuo.

It makes sense to think so!

Xue Yantuo was in the north of the desert. If he crossed the desert thousands of miles south, he would definitely be short of supplies and exhausted horses; and the Tang army was mobilized nearby, waiting for his work, and gave Xue Yantuo a heavy blow at half of the home court, which would cause Xue Yantuo to suffer great damage to his vitality in one go.

Xue Yantuo seems to be powerful, but it only lasted for only seventeen years in history. This is also the chronic disease of building a country in the form of tribal alliances, lacking the centripetal force within a single race, and insufficient loyalty among the tribes.

The foundation is not solid and there are major internal hidden dangers. Such emerging Khanate will likely cause civil unrest after suffering heavy damage and heavy losses.

Xu Qilin combined with the development trajectory in history. Xue Yantuo really failed to destroy Li Simo in the south of the desert. Instead, he was beaten by the Tang army and the Turks and almost wiped out the entire army. From then on, he was in a slump and was finally replaced by the Uighur tribe that had originally surrendered.

Well, this should be His Majesty Li Er's plan, digging a hole to attract Xue Yantuo to jump. It's really bad, but I like it.

Xu Qilin thought he had figured it out, there was only one truth, so please feel free to see the subsequent development!

When he returned to the mansion, he didn't see any vehicles and horses. Xu Qilin knew that Li Simo could not come so quickly. He probably had to inquire and know his background to speak.

When he walked into the house, Xu Qilin felt that it was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was strange. There were fewer people and it was a little too quiet.

When I arrived at my yard, I just stepped over the moon gate and turned a white-haired monster jumped by me and shouted at Xu Qilin with a "ah woo".

Suddenly, Xu Qilin was really shocked. Soon, he woke up and smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao has become a Bonnie Rabbit, which scared his brother."

Xiao Zhao rushed towards Xu Qilin with a "ah woo, ah woo". No one had heard a rabbit scream anyway.

Xu Qilin smiled and picked up the big rabbit, walked into the house, and said as he walked: "It's hot day, I'm not afraid of heatstroke, just waiting to scare me?"

"Yes, I just want to scare you." Xiao Zhao's voice came out in his hood, a little dull, "Who told you to hide it and not let me know."

"Didn't you want to have a surprise on your birthday?" Xu Qilin entered the house and saw Scarlett, Ajiani, and Sun Busan, hiding in the house at the order of his sister.

He reached out to take off his little sister's rabbit hood. Seeing that her little face was red and her forehead was covered with sweat, Xu Qilin hurriedly called Scarlett and others to come over to wipe the sweat and bring water.

Xiao Zhao was in a happy mood, and she loved this Bonnie Rabbit very much. She was even more grateful for her brother's intentions.

"There is also the Weini suit. I asked Busan to dance in dress just now, but it was fun!" Xiao Zhao pointed at him. Busan's girl immediately smiled, but Xu Qilin looked like a bitter smile with lingering fear.

"It's too hot, even if it's fun. Don't wear it for too long. Be careful of heatstroke." Xu Qilin said: "You have also worn it, and you know it's not uncomfortable to feel stuffy, right?"

Well, Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "I know I won't let her wear it for too long. After wearing it, I will let her drink a cold drink to make her cool!"

Xu Qilin smiled and praised her younger sister for being sensible and kind-hearted, and thought it was good. Only after trying it myself can you know how hard it is, how boring it is, and you can be more considerate. Even a servant cannot treat it as a cow and horse!

Sun Busan showed a silly smile. He didn't talk much, but he followed Xiao Zhao and tried his best. She was two or three years older than Xiao Zhao, and she was really caring for her like a young lady.

"Brother, I'm going to be my birthday." Xiao Zhao lowered his head and said, "Sister said: Father and mother have passed away. It's really inappropriate to have fun that day, and it will make people laugh..."

Xu Qilin didn't quite understand, so he asked a few more questions before he realized why his younger sister changed her mind.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the custom of turning birthdays into celebrations was mostly in the southern regions, and the Central Plains, based on Confucianism, was quite rejected by this custom.

His Majesty Li Er insisted on not celebrating birthdays, and he advocated "sentimental" reflection. As the saying goes: Children's birthdays are difficult days for mothers. Therefore, many people still maintain traditions and do not celebrating birthdays.

According to the "Yan Family Instructions? Fengcao", there were only two situations for birthdays at that time. One was that parents were alive and could have a drink to celebrate that day; after their parents passed away, they would not celebrate their birthdays again.

The other is the so-called "uncultural people", who still hold wine and celebrate their birthday after their parents die.

Obviously, Xu Hui may have overlooked this matter at the beginning. When she understood, she reminded her younger sister not to fall into the family style because of this. It makes people laugh at the Xu family as an "uncultivated person", which may make His Majesty Li Er feel unhappy.

Xu Qilin thought about it and felt that it was better to have less than more things. I really don’t know if anyone would gossip behind his back or even spread around.

"Then according to my sister's wishes, don't do it or be ostentatious." Xu Qilin said: "How about this, you can take a few days off and take you to the village to play."

Xiao Zhao showed joy and said, "Okay, I'm afraid His Highness the Princess will follow you too. How can I think of a way to get out of here?"

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty is going to Jiucheng Palace to escape the heat? Why is there no movement again?"

Xiao Zhao said, "I heard from the princess that I was ready, but it was delayed because I summoned Li Simo to come and worship. If Li Simo could leave early, I would probably have to go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat."

After pausing, Xiao Zhao smiled and comforted her brother, "It's okay, I won't be in a hurry to wait for a few more days."
