Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 100 Changsun Wuji Finds the Beggar Gang
Seeing this, Du Ruhui immediately said, "Yes, since we have lowered our posture and asked for peace, this land cannot be ceded."

Gao Shilian frowned when he heard the words, and sighed deeply: "But how is this possible? The Turks went southward with great effort and lost a lot of troops, but in the end they got nothing. They just negotiated peace with us?"

"This... can they agree?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, frowned and said: "If they don't agree, they have to agree. Just because my Tang Dynasty lost to them and they took the initiative to seek peace, it can make them look good. At that time, which country would dare to attack the Turks so easily?" ?”

"Is that not enough?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "If His Majesty is unwilling to cede the land, we must be more assertive in this peace appeal, so that the Turks can see our position and determination."

"Oh?" Li Shimin immediately became a bit more temperamental when he heard the words, and immediately said: "What is Fang Qing's clever plan?"

"Your Majesty, you can take our ministers of humerus and the remaining [-] soldiers in Chang'an City to Weishui." Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes slightly, and then continued: "From the time when I sent people from the Tang Dynasty to seek peace , the Turks must have relaxed their vigilance."

"Combined with the consumption of the Weishui battle, they themselves don't have many troops, and for this battle, we only sent more than 2 troops. They don't know the number of soldiers in Chang'an."

"If we go with His Majesty with [-] soldiers, the Turks will probably feel that our reinforcements have arrived. If we are stronger then, it will definitely make them panic, and even think that we may not want to seek peace so much, so lessen our exploitation."

Fang Xuanling is a well-known counselor in contemporary times, after some remarks, you can win Li Shimin's heart.

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and then immediately said: "Fang Qing has a good plan, so we will do it like this."

"The four of you will accompany me to go, and I will also bring two generals, Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji, just in case."

After saying that, Li Shimin cast his eyes on Du Ruhui who was at the side again, "Keming, go and order [-] troops right now, and we will set off tomorrow."

"I take orders." Du Ruhui responded, and immediately went to do it.

"Well, you all go to prepare first, and the auxiliary machine stays." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Everyone retreated in response, and Changsun Wuji stayed behind.

"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" Changsun Wuji frowned slightly, probably guessing what Li Shimin meant.

Li Shimin nodded, and then sighed softly: "The assassin who assassinated me these two times has never been found. I have been really restless recently, and I am always worried about when that assassin will come to assassinate me again."

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Li Shimin hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard the words, and then his eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, I have another way, and it may work."

"What way?" Li Shimin suddenly became interested.

"Your Majesty, have you heard of the Beggar Gang?" Changsun Wuji asked with raised eyebrows.

"The Beggar Gang?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "I have never heard of such a sect."

"Your Majesty doesn't know something. The Beggars' Clan claims that there are two or three things in the world, five or six people, as long as they are willing, they can ask you seven or eight points."

Changsun Wuji explained in a deep voice: "The beggar gang has a large number of people all over the Tang Dynasty, and they have special contact methods, so we can give this task to the people of the beggar gang. There will be results."

"That's a good feeling!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, and then immediately said: "I will leave this matter to you, the auxiliary machine. It needs to be done today, and we will set off for Weishui early tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Changsun Wuji responded, then bowed and left.

…………

In the ruined temple, Changsun Wuji appeared in ordinary clothes.

It took him a long time to find out the way of dragging the beggar gang to do things through his relationship. He first went to the ruined temple, and knocked on the door five times.

After Changsun Wuji did so, eight beggars appeared out of nowhere.

Even though Changsun Wuji was wearing ordinary clothes, the group of beggars still recognized Changsun Wuji at a glance.

Fang Tianci stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Master Changsun came to the humble house, what can I order?"

Changsun Wuji was slightly shocked, and then relieved a bit.

Since this group of beggars can know him, it can better explain the strength of this group of beggars. Thinking of this, he felt a little more at ease.

Changsun Wuji nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Presumably with your strength, you should have heard about the assassination of His Majesty twice by an assassin. The purpose of this old man's visit today is to entrust you to help His Majesty find this assassin. "

"Of course, money is convenient. As long as you can find someone, His Majesty will never be stingy."

Hearing this, the eight beggars looked at each other for a while, each showing embarrassment.

They had just promised the leader that they would not reveal this matter, but the elder grandson came to inquire in person, which was really difficult.

Thinking of this, Fang Tianci slightly pursed his lips and said, "If the eldest grandson has full-face portraits, we can easily handle them, but all the half-face portraits are posted in this city, so we..."

Changsun Wuji nodded when he heard the words, and then took out a new portrait from his pocket.

This was drawn by the dark guard who saw Dou Yinger's full face that day.

Fang Tianci's face froze, then he looked at the portrait, and said again: "This woman looks strange, she must not be a native of Chang'an."

"I don't know, is there a way for the Beggars to find it?" Changsun Wuji asked with a frown.

Fang Tianci pursed his lips, and then said: "This task may not be completed, we have to ask the leader for instructions before deciding whether to take it or not."

"........."

Changsun Wuji's face darkened a bit, then he frowned and said, "Aren't you the gang leader?"

"Of course not." Fang Tianci shook his head and said.

The remaining seven beggars also echoed.

"Then who is your leader? Can you invite him out to meet the old man? The old man told him in person." Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

After all, he was going to Weishui tomorrow with Li Shimin, and he had to go back to pack his things in the evening. Now he didn't have much time to spend, but he had to complete the task arranged by Li Shimin.

Fang Tianci shook his head again when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "Our leader's whereabouts are uncertain and his actions are secretive. Even we can't tell who he is. We can only contact him through special means every time. I don't know when we will be able to contact you. .”
