Nightfall

After leaving Yanming Lake, Ning Que did not go directly to the palace, but went to Songhe Tower for a drink, not much, and then he took a walk along Zhuque Street, not far away, letting spring rain sprinkle On his head and face and body, fortunately, the spring rain was gentle, and the clothes on his body were not very wet.

Promoting blood with wine, dispersing qi with steps, and clearing the heart with rain, he gradually calmed down, accepting the extremely angry changes in the real situation for Tang Guohe Academy and came to Sanyuanli.

The neighbors in the neighborhood are preparing dinner. The smell of vegetable oil and hot pot is mixed with the smell of burning firewood. The smell is good, and his mood is calmer.

He stood under the stone steps in front of the courtyard and waited. Not long afterwards, the courtyard door opened with a squeak, and Brother 2 came out, and then a squeaking sound rang in the night.

Ning Que saluted the night and the stone steps and said, "Drinkers and Haotian should have received Haotian's promise that they can get eternal life to maintain their self-awareness, so they chose to obey."

Jun Mo said: "They can't support the second Yong Ye, this is their biggest fear."

Someone in the courtyard picked up high lights, the streets were illuminated, and the night faded away, revealing two wheelchairs.

Yu Lian said: "Hao Tian Shen Guo, it is impossible to allow self-consciousness."

Jun Mo said: "The coward's wisdom is not as stupid as the brave."

The elder brother did not participate in the discussion of the younger brothers and sisters. He looked quietly at the night sky, at the bright moon behind the rain clouds, and again at the Haotian Divine Kingdom.

Jun Mo looked at Ning Que and said, "Anger sometimes brings courage, more often it doesn't make sense."

Yu Lian looked at Ning Que and said, "Since you have calmed down, then continue to talk."

Ning Que understood the meaning of Brother and Sister and asked, "How to talk?"

Yu Lian said: "You can talk as much as you want."

Ning Que remembered that he and the queen had said something similar, and the expression was bitter.

The older brother withdrew his gaze to the night sky, looked at him and said with a smile, "Brother, can you come on?"

...

...

The hall is very quiet. Even the light from the candlelight seemed a bit deserted. All the eunuchs were separated from afar. Only the queen and Ning lacked two people before the case.

The queen looked at the yellow cover letter in the case and said nothing. Ning Que looked at the files of the Xiling Temple Mission in the case and kept silent, but after all, it was impossible to keep silent.

"There are really practitioners who spend the night in the world?"

The Queen looked at Ning Que and asked, still feeling a little weird.

Ning Que thought for a while and said, "There are saints out of the millennium. The drunkard and the butcher do not know how many millennia they have practiced in the world. Although he has not manifested the sacred outside the city, his realm must exceed that of most ordinary people Imagine, in other words, that ordinary force does not mean anything to him. "

The queen frowned slightly, and said, "Who is stronger than the viewer?"

Ning Que wanted to say: "The realm of drunkards or higher. But the strength may not exceed the subjective."

The queen was puzzled and asked, "Why is this so?"

"He and the butcher have only been walking in darkness for countless years, both physical and mental. They have been decayed and rotten. The subject is always walking in the light, and as the master leaves, it is just at the peak.

Ning Que said: "If one of the drunkard or the butcher dares to walk into Chang'an City. I have seven points of confidence to kill them. Even if they go together in Chang'an, I still have one point of confidence."

The queen said, "A certainty is basically the same as a lack of confidence."

Ning Que said: "If you are other practitioners, this statement is correct. But since the face is the butcher of the drunkard, then a certain grasp is very sure, because they are afraid of death."

The Queen said: "Don't the great practitioners of such a state of unprecedented depth have yet to break through life and death?"

"" The teacher once said that it is time to practice, and the longer you live, the stronger your ability, but the longer you live, the more you are afraid of death. Eternal life is the greatest temptation, and death is the greatest fear. "

Ning Que said: "The drunkard and the butcher are such two people, so they will surrender to Haotian, and precisely because of this, neither of them dare to step into Chang'an City."

The queen's eyes were brighter, and she said, "That's outside the city?"

"If the two brothers and sisters are at their peak, or you can give it a try."

Ning Que thought of the flask that was swaying in the spring breeze and shook his head. "The problem now is that no one can find or chase those two people."

The gloss in the queen's eyes gradually dwindled and said, "This is tantamount to saying that the drunkard and the butcher are two big knives hanging over the head of my great Tangzimin and may fall at any time."

Ning Que said: "The Xiling Temple dared to put forward these conditions, precisely because of this."

The Queen looked at the negotiation briefing file in the case and said after a moment of silence: "The existence of the drunkard and the butcher must be a secret, and no one can know it."

Ning Que understood the meaning of the queen.

Datang has just walked out of desperation, the confidence of the people is gradually recovering, the morale of the army is booming, the Zhennan army is fighting so hard, but it still refuses to completely block the Qingxia, because everyone is waiting for the day to fight back.

If the Tang people were made aware of the existence of drunkards and butchers, morale would inevitably be severely affected. Without a counterattack on the possible war, it would be endless torture for everyone.

Ning Que looked at the queen ’s eyes and said, “How can the court and the academy explain the peace treaty signed with the Xiling Temple? The land and war compensations ceded by Datang will inevitably be known.”

The queen said with a smile: "Shame brings courage and anger. If there is a way to release anger, then the rest is pure courage."

Ning Que felt that the Queen ’s smile was very beautiful, but somehow it felt a bit cold-how can the Datang military and civilians be able to completely release the anger brought by this disgraceful covenant?

He didn't want to continue to think deeper, and felt that he thought too much.

"The people may be able to hide for the time being, but the ministers in Chaotang must know the truth. The college does not want Chaotang to fall into turmoil again because of this matter. Since it is the people who support them, they should replace The people bear mental pressure. "

After thinking about it, the queen agreed with him and sounded the little golden bell in the case.

It didn't take long for more than ten most important ministers to come to the night palace.

Entering the palace all night, the ministers' spirits were a little tired, just thinking of the urgency in the palace, fearing that there would be a war in North Xinjiang, or that there was a problem with the negotiations with the Xiling Temple. Why dare to be a little slack.

Even though they had thought about the situation very badly, they still did not expect that the news waiting for them in the palace was so bad that the night palace was silent for a while.

"Any other conditions can be promised ..."

A tired voice sounded in the hall, from General Shu Cheng who had just rushed back to Chang'an City.

The general's expression was very painful, because he knew that the peace treaty would be a shame that the Tang Dynasty would not erase, and every one of those conditions beat him like a thorn.

But those conditions can be promised. In such a severe situation, Datang has no other choice. However, there is one condition in the Xiling Temple that cannot be accepted anyway.

He looked at the Queen and Ning Que, saying one by one: "Xiang Wanyuan, can't let it go."

...

...

The Western Army of Datang Zheng withdrew from Congling, and most of them were merged into Zhenbei Army, under the control of General Xu Chi, preparing for a possible outbreak of war between the Cavaliers and the Golden Horde in the spring and deep. General Shu Cheng returned to Chang'an City so that Xu Chi could lead the two armies, and at the same time Chang'an City's Military Department needed a strong general to sit in the town. He opposed ceding Xiang Wanyuan not because the military could not bear such humiliation, but because of the importance of Xiang Wanyuan.

Xiangwan was originally located in the south of Qicheng Walled City in Northern Xinjiang. It is a natural grassland that stretches for thousands of miles. Both rain and landforms are the most suitable horse breeding grounds and the main source of Datang horses.

One of the very important reasons for Datang Tieqi's life in the world is that Xiang Yuanyuan has been providing the most amazing horses for thousands of years.

The most important item in the peace negotiation conditions of the Xiling Temple was the proposal to cede to the late Yuan on behalf of the King of the Golden Account, which is also a condition absolutely unacceptable to the Tang Dynasty.

Last autumn, the Golden Horde cavalry invaded like a pack of wolves. The internal disputes in the court of the Tang Dynasty were still unstoppable. The cavalry on the wasteland with His Majesty was trapped in the Helan City. The Zhenbei Army ’s preparations were seriously insufficient. Under the circumstances, General Xu Chi never thought about retreating. The Zhenbei Army paid an unimaginable and tragic price, and finally blocked the gold account cavalry in the front line of the hundred miles south of Qichengzhai.

why? Because Datang must keep Xiang Yuanyuan, this horse farm is the foundation of Datang's prosperity for thousands of years, and it is the foundation of Tang Jun's life in the world. It can even be said that Xiang Wanyuan is Datang.

The cavalry of the Golden Account King's Court was originally a powerful enemy of the Tang State. If Xiang Wanyuan was ceded, the Golden Account King's Court would inevitably become more terrible, and the Tang State would continue to weaken.

There was a puzzled voice from a clerk in the hall: "Compared to ceding Dongshan County, this grass field is nothing. Even if there are fewer war horses, it will be snatched back from the gold account in the future."

Even at such moments ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Datang officials still have strong optimism and confidence.

Shu Chenghan said: "Xiling Temple wants us to pay for the war horses, and then let Xiangyuan out. In the future Datang, even if the armor and armament are good, but no mounts are available, how to grab it? Since the other party has proposed such a dead-end plan, how is it possible? Leaving holes, they just want to break the foundation of our Datang. "

His greatest worry is that the queen and the academy did not understand the importance of Xiang Wanyuan, watching Ning Que sternly said: "If Xiang Wanyuan is ceded to the golden account Wangting, Datang will not be far from the country!"

The Queen looked at Ning Que and said: "If you ceded Xiang Wanyuan, the Tang Dynasty wouldn't want to regain its vitality within a hundred years. The Xiling Temple must be aware of this and only then proposed such a condition."

Ning Que looked at the files in the case and did not make a decision for a long time.
