Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

In fact, Tang Jian is not a suspicious person. If it weren't for the fact that there are many details that make people care about this trip to surrender, he might not think so much.

From the very beginning of his departure, when His Majesty Li Er handed over the imperial decree to appease Jieli to Tang Jian and also asked him to deliver the oral order to capture Jieli alive to Li Jing, he was a little puzzled—didn’t they all surrender, why bother? Tell Li Jing to capture Ashina Dubi alive?

However, he didn't ask in the end. Because at that time, he only wanted to do well what Li Shimin told him to do well, and firmly hold in his hands the credit that fell from the sky.

Now it seems that the credit for falling from the sky may be a bit hot.

If there were only Li Shimin's somewhat unusual verbal instructions, Tang Jian might not be able to analyze anything, but when he went to the Turkic camp in person and faced Xieli who was pushing back and forth and refused to surrender quickly, of course he would start to feel guilty in his heart. Whisper, and tie a lot of things together.

Obviously, Xieli did not sincerely surrender. Then, His Majesty's sentence of "capturing Jieli alive" suddenly became not so baseless. Perhaps, the wise His Majesty Li Shimin had already guessed about Xieli's intentions, but he was not sure, so he issued this handbook, making Li Jing the second insurance.

Tang Jian couldn't help but recall the look in Li Jing's eyes when he sent him off. At that time, he felt that those eyes seemed a little lacking in warmth. Now that he thought about it, it was probably not just a lack of warmth, but a real indifference, like looking at a person who was going to hell.

Tang Jian finally affirmed this conjecture: he unknowingly became a crucial pawn.

If his guess is correct, the reason why Xieli needed him was to stabilize Datang, delay time, and buy time for other plans in the future, and the reason why Li Shimin needed him in Datang was also to use him. Stabilize Xieli and gain room for the other armies to completely defeat Xieli.

Today's Tang Jian is like the few grains of millet used to attract birds in the bird traps made by children. And Xieli is a sparrow pecking at millet smugly. As long as Li Jing pulled the rope in his hand to remove the support of the net, Tang Jian and Xieli would be caught in the net at the same time, unable to move.

So what does this sparrow do before it gets caught outright?

At least have a good meal before you die, right? Eating up all the millet left in front of him seemed to be the only thing he could do.

Thinking of this, Tang Jian couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. He had never felt death so close to him.

Thinking that he was really happy for a while when he received this order, Tang Jian felt that he was really stupid, and it was in vain for him to always call himself a smart person.

In order to play with orchids conveniently, An Xiuren and Tang Jian did not live in the same tent. But An Xiuren had noticed that Tang Jian's expression was not right in the past two days, so he took the initiative to ask Tang Jian.

Tang Jian sighed. They are all bait in a deep trap, and there is no need for him to hide these things from An Xiuren. So, he confided all his conjectures—even though they were conjectures, there was nothing unreasonable about them, and even if they were not facts, they might not be too far off.

After An Xiuren listened, his eyes widened, and he stared at Tang Jian for a long time, as if he was still trying to digest the information.

Tang Jian smiled sadly, and said: "At this moment, Li Jing's army may have entered Yinshan Mountain, and started to search for the location of Xieli's king's tent."
