Born of Worry

Li Ye, I never thought you would have today.

He looked at himself in the mirror, with three thousand blue hairs tied up by jade hairpins. He changed from his previous slutty appearance, only then did he realize that he had ninety-nine images like Li Xian.

— except for those eyes.

But it was this pair of eyes that made him completely different from Li Xian.

The corners of his lips curled up mockingly.

He changed his clothes and hung the sachet embroidered with epiphyllum on his waist.

At this time, a woman walked in from outside the tent, dressed in light blue, with a slim figure and a smile on her face.She stopped in front of Li Ye, folded her hands on her left waist, slightly bent her knees, slightly lowered her eyebrows, and bowed profusely, "Your Majesty, from now on, this servant will be your personal maid."

Li Ye looked at her for a long while before finally confirming who this person was.

The red faded, and the blue turned, as if reborn, and suddenly reborn.

Can be literary, can be martial, can be soft, can be tough, can be charming, can be rough, can retreat behind the scenes, can live in the front desk, adapt to the situation, and walk at will, it can be called a strange woman.

Shen Xin.

He nodded.

Shen Xin glanced at Shen Ji, and said: "You step back."

The pitch-black figure disappeared without a trace.

"Go in!"

Li Xian was pushed into the military tent.

"Our Khan said that if you run away and catch you back, one of your ribs will be broken if you run away! So I advise you, you'd better be obedient!"

The man spoke not very fluent Chinese, and he withdrew from the military tent to guard the door.Li Xian smiled, looked around the layout of the account, but it was not much different from his Dayin.

There is a desk, although it is not as good as his original one, but it can be used.

It's just that the case is empty.

There was a cushion on the ground. He sat down, covered his mouth and coughed twice. The kick on his chest was still very painful, and the pain was tight. He rubbed it, and there were some wrinkles between his brows.

This Hulugu...why is it so strange.

He is fluent in Chinese, looks like a Han, and most importantly, when he was talking to Xie Yan just now, there was a tea set on the table.

Although tea has long been spread to various countries, it is not local after all, and not everyone can accept it. If it is said that the tea was prepared for Xie Yan, it would be reasonable, but he also drank it. And the action of tasting tea is very natural and skillful, very standardized.

Combining these points, it really makes him hard to doubt.

Could it be...he has Han blood?But it is clear that this Tahan has never married a Han Chinese for hundreds of years...

If he really has Han Chinese blood, then it seems logical that he was left out in the cold and wanted to seize power.

"Li Xian," Hu Lugu's voice suddenly sounded, "How about it, what I arranged here for you, isn't it good?"

That voice had no good intentions, and Li Xian naturally didn't give him any good looks, so he sneered and said, "Yes, that's right. But I heard that you, Tahan, don't pay much attention to self-cultivation, and you don't even have a pen and paper in this tent. This is also evident.”

Hu Lugu suddenly became angry: "Are you mocking my ignorance and fearlessness?!"

"I didn't say this, it was your Majesty Khan who said it yourself."

"you!"

He snorted coldly, took two steps forward, crossed his arms around his chest, "Li Xian, don't waste your energy, you are still far from provoking me, don't worry, I won't kill you, such a pitiful person , how could I have the heart to kill him?"

Li Xian looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "Really? But since I'm here as your guest, shouldn't you also be a landlord? I believe Khan will not be stingy with adding anything I need, right?"

"what do you want?"

"I want a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a pair of tea sets to make the best tea here." After a pause, "Oh, and another copy of Tao Te Ching."

"Tao Te Ching? What is that?!"

"Tell you Military Advisor Xie, he naturally knows. Well, you go out, I'm going to rest."

Hu Lugu narrowed his eyes, sneered, and said sharply, "Li Xian! Don't be too pretentious! One day, I will make you cry and kneel in front of me begging for mercy!"

Night, Weiyang City.

The tranquility of Jianwang Mansion was shattered by a sudden knock on the door.

The guards in the mansion opened the door, only to see a sedan chair parked outside the door, and it was Li Ling who hurried down from it.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, please come in! I will report as soon as possible..."

"There is no need to report! I will go find him myself!"

Li Kuang was dancing his sword in the garden, and saw him coming from a distance, but he kept on moving, and asked, "Why is Second Brother in the mood to come to my house today?"

"Brother, stop practicing! I have something to tell you!"

Hearing that his tone was different, Li Kuang withdrew his sword, "What's the matter?"

"Eight hundred miles, hurry up, follow me into the house!"

The two entered the main hall, Li Ling showed him the letter, Li Kuang frowned, "How could this happen?!"

The letter was sent by Li Xian, and it roughly wrote about the two days of battle on the front line, as well as the fact that Li Ye was kidnapped by the barbarians. Li Ling sighed and said, "The handwriting was written by Xiao Xian himself, but... How could such a thing happen? This is too unbelievable..."

——Of course it was written by Li Xian himself, because that was one of the cards left in the scabbard.

Li Kuang snorted coldly: "This group of damn thieves!" He punched his leg, "It's luck, but it's not Xiao Xian who was caught... Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Li Ling nodded, "But this time... I'm afraid it will be hard for the third child, and I don't know if this Tahan will do something extreme..."

"By the way, isn't this eight hundred miles urgent? Why don't you give it to Lin Xingzhi and come to me?"

Li Ling was touched by him, and immediately slapped his forehead, "I'm also in a panic, I'm going to find him now!"

As soon as the news came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

The news quickly flew into the streets and alleys of Weiyang City, and became a hot topic of discussion among people after dinner. After a few days, it quickly fermented, flew out of the city, and spread to surrounding states and counties.

Battle reports from the front also came one after another. After Shen Xin and others exaggerated, they described Ta Han's robbing of King Yu and killing the people of Daizhou as heinous.

Public anger arose, and Tahan was pointed at. When neighbors, relatives and friends talked, no matter who said "hu people", everyone would spit.

The situation was out of control, and Xie Yan felt powerless for a while.

One wrong move, and the whole game is lost.

He couldn't help hating Li Xian even more.

On this day, Hu Lugu was in the tent, holding a bow in his hand, playing with it for a long time, and sighed: "A good bow, what a good bow!"

With Xie Yan behind him, he naturally recognized that this bow was used by Li Xian to shoot Cao Han.Regarding the death of Cao Han, he has always been brooding about it. When someone robbed Li Xian, he also took this bow and gave it to Hu Lugu. Originally, he was asked to look at the bow and think of Cao Han from time to time, so that he could reflect on himself. But who would have imagined it, he didn't want to repent at all, instead he couldn't put it down.

It's really mud that can't support the wall.

Thinking of this in his heart, his prejudice against him deepened. He sneered and said: "The bow is a good bow, but it has completely different effects in the hands of different people."

Hu Lugu turned around immediately, frowned and said, "Mr. Xie, what do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting." Xie Yan didn't want to argue with him, "By the way, Khan, what exactly does Li Xian want the Tao Te Ching for?"

Hu Lugu lost his temper, and put the bow back on the rack, "How do I know. If he wants it, you just go find it and give it to him. You Han people understand what you Han people do."

Xie Yan sneered again, "Han Chinese? Are you not Han Chinese?"

"Thank you, don't go too far!"

"Forget it," he waved his hand, "there must be no Tao Te Ching in Tahan, I'll send someone to Dayin to buy it in two days."

Hu Lugu nodded, "It's up to you. Oh, there is one more thing, when will we ask Yin for the city? This Daizhou City should be mine this time, right?"

"What's the hurry, Li Xian is here, can this generation of state still run away? In another three to five days, wait for the rumors outside to calm down a little bit, otherwise the people of Dayin will be scolded by the people of Dayin when they are on the cusp of asking for the city. We can't listen, but if we scold our brothers in a hurry, it will end badly, don't you think so?"

Hu Lu snorted, "It's all up to Military Adviser Xie."

Both of them stopped talking. After a while, a man dressed as a guard came into the tent and whispered something in Hu Lugu's ear. The latter raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? I'll go right away .”

On the other side, in Li Xian's camp, there was a very familiar person kneeling in front of him: "Your Majesty! Come with me, I was really wrong, I will send you back to Dayin!"

This person is one of Tahan's hidden lines buried in Dayin, and he is also mentioned repeatedly in Xuan Yu's intelligence. Cao Han's deputy general, Shen Yuan, was one of the two who robbed Li Xian from Dayin. him one.

Li Xian took a sip of tea, unmoved, "It's too late for you to regret it now."

"Your Majesty!" He almost begged, "The general really knew his mistake, but, but the whole family of the general is in the hands of Hu Lugu, and he has to work for him! Now General Cao I'm dead too, I, I..."

Li Xian no longer looked at him, but turned his eyes to behind him.

Hu Lugu walked in slowly, and sneered: "Shen Yuan, you finally couldn't help it."

When Shen Yuan saw him, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and stuttered: "K-Khan..."

"You also know my Tahan's rules," he folded his arms around his chest, "Tell me about you, you originally did something for me, there are a lot of rewards to be won, countless glory and wealth, but you are so unreasonable." Sensible, if you insist on doing such a thing, then don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!"

"Hululu!" Knowing that his life was hopeless, Shen Yuan jumped to his feet, and shouted with grief and anger on his face, "You bastard who killed thousands of knives! I fell into your hands today, and I resigned to my fate! But Let me tell you, I, Shen Yuan, was born as Dayin's man, and I will die as Dayin's ghost!"

Hu Lugu slapped the table, and was also furious: "Okay! Then you can be your ghost! Come on, drag him out and chop him up!"

Shen Yuan was carried away by two guards, and he kept shouting: "Du Lvgu! You will die! You will die——!"

Li Xian tightly closed his eyes.

"Li Xian," Hu Lugu propped his arms in front of him, "I believe that you will not do such a stupid thing like him, are you right?"

Li Xian looked up at him and snorted coldly: "That's natural, don't bother His Majesty Khan."

Hu Lugu turned around to leave, and finally said: "I will get you what you want as soon as possible, but I advise you, don't play tricks on me!"

Three days later, Li Xian got the Tao Te Ching from Xie Yan.

After dismissing the guards, he opened the book, flipped through it roughly, and suddenly stopped on a certain page, and within that page, there was tightly sandwiched a fiery red phoenix feather the size of a fingernail.

He smiled slightly, pinched the phoenix feather with his right hand, twisted it vigorously, a strange red symbol flashed in the palm of his hand, and then quickly disappeared, and the phoenix feather also turned into a red light and disappeared.

——That was a talisman cast by Jin Shang on his palm before he left Dayin. Only with this talisman could he see his phoenix feather.

At the same time, in the Daizhou military camp, Jin Shang slowly opened his eyes.

Get up and go to the camp where Li Ye and Shen Xin are.

He sat in front of Shen Xin, Shen Xin said: "How is it? Have you contacted His Majesty?"

Jin Shang nodded, "He has already discovered my Phoenix Feather."

Shen Xin smiled: "It seems that our judgment is indeed correct."

Just yesterday morning, news came from the secret line of Xinzhou City that a suspicious man was found entering and leaving the city.

So they continued to trace the whereabouts of this person, and found that he left Xinzhou, bypassed Daizhou City, and went to Yanmen Pass through a narrow mountain path.

At this time, Jin Shang quietly disappeared and followed him, using a trick to make him fall, and caught a phoenix feather in the book.

"Now we can basically be sure that His Majesty is safe for the time being." Shen Xin thought for a while, then said, "Can you let us talk to Your Majesty directly?"

Jin Shang shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, my cultivation level is not enough, and that phoenix feather is too small, it can't store much mana, and it can't transmit sound through the air."

She was a little disappointed, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. We agreed with His Majesty on [-] days. After [-] days, please go to Tahan's camp in person."

Jin Shang nodded.

Tao Te Ching...

What mystery is hidden in this Tao Te Ching?

Xie Yan fanned it lightly with his folding fan, and was still puzzled. He had clearly checked the book carefully, and it was really just an ordinary book. Why did Li Xian... insist on this Tao Te Ching...

Of course, if he knew that the Tao Te Ching was actually just a random word from Li Xian, if he found a book that Ta Han didn't have, he would definitely be so angry that he would vomit blood for three liters.

This book was never about the point.

It was just a shield that Li Xian found for convenience in the future.

——It was also he who did not play the cards according to the routine again and again, causing Xie Yan to go astray repeatedly.
