Chapter 648 Repayment
Crossing the border is a very serious issue, and this issue has been discussed before.
It is obvious that if one of Li Cunxi's group must go out of the border, then as His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Great Zhou, Li Cunxi must be the first choice.
only.
Li Cunxi sneered and turned his head away.
"Go out of the border?"
"What's the problem?"
"Why should I go out of the border?"
"Our mission will soon be completed, and it is not my turn to go out of the border."
He was a smart man, so how could he not know that if Xiaotao and Wei'er really went to the Western Regions to contact those dozen tribes, or to find a place to develop in peace, the Right Leopard Guard would strike hard without hesitation and send troops to the Western Regions.
As for Li Cunxi, the moment Feng Yang received Wu Zetian's order to send troops to the Western Regions, he could pack up and return to Luoyang.
"Are you really not planning to leave the Western Regions and establish great achievements?"
Wu Yanhao was extremely surprised. Li Cunxi was already the King of Qin. If he made great contributions, he would be able to secure his position and pave the way for a bloody road in the future.
"I'm not crazy. If I continue to be associated with the military, I'm doomed."
"During the Chongzhou case, Wang Xiaojie and I became sworn brothers, which was unexpected. If I had a close relationship with Feng Yang and Fang Zhe, I'm afraid I would have a hard time moving forward in the future."
"You must know that your majesty can tolerate a Li Cunxi, but cannot tolerate a Qin Wang Li Cunxi who has connections with the military."
"Emperor Taizong's Xuanwu Gate Incident happened not too long ago."
Li Cunxi sighed, rolled up his sleeves, turned around and walked away from the prison.
Wu Yanhao thought for a long time and suddenly smiled.
"That's right. Emperor Taizong's Xuanwu Gate Incident happened not too long ago."
"The title of King of Qin has been associated with a coup since the Xuanwu Gate Incident..."
"Come to think of it, since he is also a descendant of Emperor Taizong, the title of King of Wei has become equal to that of the Crown Prince."
Wu Yanhao suddenly felt that his father had had a chance before.
After all, if that piece of trash Qingniao has a chance, then his father, as the King of Wei, certainly has a chance too.
It seems that Wu Zetian also learned from Li Shimin's intention and used the blue bird to symbolize succession.
Of course, if Li Cunxi knew what Wu Yanhao was thinking, he would probably be cursing Emperor Taizong Li Shimin in his heart.
If Li Shimin had not maliciously provoked the dispute for the Eastern Palace and killed Crown Prince Li Chengqian, the most powerful heir to the throne of the Celestial Empire, the Li clan would probably not have ended up like this.
The most important thing is that Li Chengqian had already demonstrated the abilities that he should have as the crown prince of this era, but he was killed by Li Shimin. This is truly the eternal sorrow of the Li family.
If Li Shimin had not been so famous, and if Li Chengqian had not been cruel enough, after thousands of years, Li Shimin would only be left with endless infamy instead of the title of Governor of Asia and Heavenly Khan.
It can be said that Li Shimin and his chosen successor Li Zhi are both half responsible for the current fate of the Li clan.
However, the descendants of the Li family chose to forget this point and attributed all the faults to Wu Zetian.
After they left the prison, they went to the second hall to have some breakfast.
While they were eating, someone suddenly came in from outside and clasped his fists towards Li Cunxi.
"Master, General Mo Ling has gathered with the Black-Cloaked Heavenly King, and the three of them are ready to rescue you."
"Just wait for that group of warriors to arrive, and we will send troops to rescue them tonight."
"General Mo Ling secretly sent a message, saying that if we rescue you, he will give up everything and go out to find a tribe, and then use your wisdom to fight for power."
Li Cunxi put down his chopsticks and swallowed the meat in his mouth.
"Then you must be prepared and keep all these warriors here no matter what."
"Also, let the Black King and Wei'er go. These two women are still useful if they are alive."
Li Cunxi held his chin, glanced at Wu Yanhao, and said:
"Brother Yanhao, get ready. I won't fight for it this time. I'll give you a chance to be crowned Duke."
Wu Yanhao almost dropped the food in his mouth, stared with a pair of bull eyes, and asked:
"What did you say? Give me a chance to be a duke?"
Li Cunxi picked up the chopsticks again and nodded casually.
He naturally had his own considerations for doing this, and his ultimate goal was nothing more than to repay his old mentor Wu Chengsi.
"Cunxi, why do you think I can definitely be granted the title of Duke?"
Wu Yanhao opened his mouth, his face full of grief.
"I don't want to go out of the border, I don't want to go out of the border!"
"Without you, if I go out alone, won't that be a dead end?"
"Besides, even if I go out to the frontier, I may not be able to make great contributions and become a duke."
"What's more, the Western Region is full of dangers. What if things go wrong and I die in the Western Region? What should I do?"
"We are good brothers, and you are my future brother-in-law. You can't hurt me!"
Wu Yanhao almost leaned his entire body on Li Cunxi.
Li Cunxi freed up one hand and pushed Wu Yanhao aside without even looking at him.
"What are you afraid of? You are following the army. What are you afraid of?"
"Also, the demon spirit is right next to Xiaotao and will pass on messages to you at any time."
"The most important thing is that I will give you both Ma Rong and Qiao Tai. Brother Yan Hao, go and make great contributions. If you make great contributions, you will most likely be promoted to Duke when you come back."
Wu Yanhao's eyes flickered, but soon returned to normal. He sat back in his seat, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
He felt that what Li Cunxi said was right.
Making achievements is the shortcut to promotion. It is not easy to make a leap forward by just following Li Cunxi.
Moreover, it was not his turn to inherit the title of King of Wei from his father Wu Chengsi, after all, he had eleven older brothers.
If he could get a Duke position at the age of seventeen or eighteen, then he, Wu Yanhao...
"Hey Hey Hey……"
Wu Yanhao imagined a wonderful life in the future and couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.
"Eat quickly and don't think about it. Tonight's battle is crucial. If tonight's matter fails, it will be difficult to take the opportunity to go out of the Western Regions and destroy those tribes."
When Li Cunxi thought about not provoking a war without reason, he felt that these great scholars in the country were pure idiots.
You have to be bullied to the point of being in the asshole before you send troops to the enemy country. But when you send troops to the enemy country, you can't bully it too harshly, otherwise it would be considered unkind.
These great scholars in our country are really stupid.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was dark. Zeng Tai made preparations early and ordered the soldiers in the mansion to get ready.
Outside a street, Mo Ling stood behind Xiao Tao and Wei Er, holding a steel knife and resting with his eyes closed.
Behind him, a group of armored warriors stood quietly, all holding Western swords in their right hands, their eyes shining coldly under their helmets.
"It's getting late, it's time to take action." Xiao Tao looked up at the sky with a calm tone.
