Tubo is not a big food.
Dashi is far away from the Tang Dynasty. There is a lot of land around it that can be eaten by it, and there are many tribes and small countries waiting to be beaten by it.
Even if it is so powerful that it is terrifying, if it wants to attack the Tang Dynasty, it will probably exceed its logistics supply limit.
The Tang Dynasty was never able to become the master of these trade routes outside the pass, and the logistics support was ultimately limiting.
But the Tubo people are different.
Tubo has thought about for many years and seems to have eroded the fertile soil of the Tang Dynasty little by little.
Moreover, the rise of countless empires in history confirms a fact.
A powerful empire does not necessarily require countless years of accumulation. Often, after a fatal shortcoming disappears, it will suddenly soar into the sky.
Tubo people are born to have many children in harsh environments.
They were flowing on the plateau like locusts, and then they were given some true qi methods suitable for practice. Those Tang Dynasty border troops who could not defeat them would probably be beaten out.
No matter how meticulous or exquisite the calculations are, they are like dirt under the Iron Cavalry with absolute advantage.
"We found out that Xie was doing this."
Gu Liubai pressed Xie Wan on the chopping board without hesitation, "Do you think?"
"I have limited contact with things. I can just follow some people to investigate, but now it seems that some people don't want me to check, or want to silence me directly, so as not to find out that I have been in contact with this matter." Qi Yu sneered, "But I have been in hiding for so many years, and I still have a question in my heart. The one who pulls the thread on my head should be Changsun."
Gu Liubai nodded.
He was even more curious about the old sparrow.
Judging from the current situation, the information of this old sparrow is extremely accurate.
And depending on the situation, he should not be from the Changsun family.
"The monks of the Fallen Temple hit you with poison. Now everyone outside thinks you are dead."
Gu Liubai pondered, "Can you obey my arrangements recently and don't show up? You tell us your online people, and our people will investigate."
"Of course I have no problem." Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his life was saved.
He turned to look at the Hu woman Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang looked at him fiercely, gurgling.
"She said, she would go wherever he went." Gu Liubai took the initiative to explain to Pei Yunqi.
Pei Yunqi nodded silently.
It seems that in three days, my hidden secretly in Tang Dynasty will definitely have a fierce battle with this Hu woman.
I really want to peek!
Yin Shiniang glanced at Gu Liubai, "Do you have to take care of this matter to the end?"
Gu Liubai said seriously: "To the end, Xie Wan is crazy, I may not be able to guess his next action. Not only should I find him out and kill him as soon as possible, but it is best to catch Changsun's painful foot."
Yin Shiniang nodded and said, "You choose someone to help us. We are not familiar with Youzhou."
Pei Yunqi admired Yin Shiniang the most, and she almost jumped out and recommended herself as soon as possible, but she was not a local snake in Youzhou, and she thought it might be more interesting to follow Gu Liubai.
Gu Liubai pondered for a moment and said, "After going back, I will discuss with Mrs. Zou. If there is no other good manpower, I will ask Hua Linyi to help you. It is convenient for the Hua family to do things here."
"What a dog!" Pei Yunqi Bingxue was smart, but he suddenly heard Gu Liubai's implication.
The Hua family naturally acts conveniently, but how could that little girl be as reliable as Hua Cangming in doing things?
Isn’t it that I fell in love with the background of the little girl Chang’an coming back?
She came back from Chang'an and made people associate her with the fifth prince, which was too simple.
...
"We Pei family are all afraid of Changsun family, aren't you afraid?"
After changing into a carriage and taking a detour back to the inn, Pei Yunqi still admired Gu Liubai's courage.
"You are ready to fight against Changsun before you arrive in Chang'an... I didn't think Changsun is so terrible before. Now, as soon as the monks of the Degenerate View come out, I think they have made up for the weakest link in my heart."
"The weakest link?" Gu Liubai was stunned, "Did you think there were not enough powerful practitioners in Changsun's family?"
Pei Yunqi was also smart, and she frowned immediately, "You mean the eighth grade in Changsun's hands, but in fact it's not just the one on the surface."
"You mean that the one on your face is naturally Yu Ruhui, the great worshiper of Changsun clan, and the number one master of Fengyushan." Gu Liubai said calmly, "But no matter what rank Changsun Wuji is, do you know that in fact, the Canglang Sword Sect in Luoyang should also be controlled by Changsun clan?"
"You said that Changsun Wuji herself may be the eighth grade, and the Canglang Sword Sect is not controlled by those from the Dongdu clan, but actually obeys the Changsun clan?" Pei Yunqi's face was slightly dark. If someone else said this to her, she would not believe it at all, but Gu Liubai said this, and she knew that the truth was very high.
Gu Liubai glanced at her and said, "Canglang Sword Sect has been the most keen sword sect in the Tang Dynasty that has been keen on finding people to compete with swords in the Tang Dynasty. In Chang'an and Luoyang, it is an alien that both humans and gods are angry. Canglang Sword Sect has also lost many good seedlings, but I have always suspected that its meaning is to help Changsun control the number of practitioners in the world."
Pei Yunqi pondered and said, "Control the number of eight-level practitioners, is this what Guo Beixi told you?"
"Troubleshoot some talented people in advance." Gu Liubai shook his head, "This is some speculation from Guo Beixi, but I think it is very likely that his departure from the pass may also be related to Changsun's family, so I did not intend to oppose them temporarily. When I arrived in Chang'an, even if there was no Xie's family matter, I would naturally have to figure out Guo Beixi's affairs."
"If you touch it, you can touch it everywhere. After all, you will encounter it." Pei Yunqi nodded and suddenly thought of a very important thing, "The poison of the Fallen Confucian, especially the poison of the seventh-grade cultivator who uses true energy to accumulate with his true energy, from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present, all the records in the files are full of medicine and there is no time to save it. Why is the poison of the Fallen Confucian monk useless to you, and you can still save people?"
"I don't know." Gu Liubai's expression became strange.
He looked at Pei Yunqi and said seriously, "Materials of the Fallen Contemporary View have never seen them, but when I saw this Fallen Contemporary View tonight, I felt familiar with them. As for this poison, my practice since childhood and the method I came into contact with...it seems to be a restraint of this poison."
Pei Yun was stunned.
After all, she was smart and instantly thought of a possibility, but she just felt that this matter had a very big relationship with Gu Shiwu, so she didn't dare to guess casually.
Gu Liubai understood her thoughts at this time. He took a deep breath and said seriously: "That might be possible that I had really met a monk in the Fallen Confucianism, but I still didn't remember anything at that time. Also, some of the methods I practiced since childhood were even specially found during my practice. This means that the Fallen Confucianism may be born as an enemy of my mother's lineage, or that after she knew that I had entered the barrier, she would definitely face the monk in this lineage one day."
Pei Yunqi was silent for a while and said, "It seems that Changsun is much stronger than I thought. There are no shortcomings. It is obvious that this shortcomings that people see are actually their best."
"The emperor has tolerated them for many years and dealt with them for so many years."
Gu Liubai said calmly: "It's just that so many years have passed, Changsun's family has not looked like the sunset in the west."
"I found that your way of thinking is really interesting. When others meet the monks of the Depravity and some messy family members, they are thinking about how to deal with these people. You are good, just thinking about not caring about the people below, just wanting to beat up the Changsun family at the top." Pei Yunqi's tone seemed to be joking, but he had no intention of joking in his heart.
"I said Chang'an is the center of the storm." Gu Liubai smiled and said, "When the storm is rolling up, I don't know how many messy things will be rolled up in the wind outside and hit your face and body. Indeed, I think the best way to deal with it is to go to the person who rolled up the storm inside to settle the score."
Pei Yunqi also smiled, "The messy things outside, all the ones that came from, are counted on Changsun's head?"
"There are so many messy things, so how can I tell you clearly? I usually count on the person first. If the other party doesn't care, that's what he did. If he is afraid, the other party will naturally pick it up one by one. I find that there are still others who are tampering with them. Then I will settle the score with others at that time." Gu Liubai said it for granted.
"It seems that the dog from a distant relative next to the Changsun family bit you, and you probably want to beat the Changsun family too." Pei Yunqi grinned when he heard it, "No wonder the people outside the pass are afraid that they will be buried by you."
Gu Liubai said, "That's the reason. Take Xie Wan as an example. It's the same for them to replace some family members."
Pei Yunqi suddenly became serious, "According to your principles, I suddenly felt that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty might also provoke you."
"Don't care about the identity of the person you want to beat. I don't have this kind of thinking limit outside the pass." Gu Liubai smiled and said seriously: "Outside the pass, people only care about whether this person's cultivation is sixth, seventh or eighth grade, and never care about his official rank first, two, and third grade. For now, I don't think the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is much smarter than the Changsun clan."
Pei Yunqi was very satisfied.
Even for the stimulation of destroying the Nine Clans, she decided to go to the dark side with Gu Liubai.
Among those royal families with the surname Li, there are indeed several who don’t like it and want to beat it.
...
Ruolifang, in a quiet room in a gambling house, a thin middle-aged man sat cross-legged in a quiet room, and there were many secret documents on the desk in front of him.
A young man who looked like a gambler who was very frightened and walked in, and the moment he brought the door, his temperament became completely different.
"The monk of the Fallen Temple took action to assassinate Qi Yu."
He bowed to the middle-aged man and said in a voice: "Qi Yu's identity has been found out. His former name was Qi Qianshan. A member of the missionary who was on the mission to Dashi that year. The Hu woman was a disciple of Tieliuzhen. She wanted to save Qi Qianshan, but she was all hit by the silver scrabble Gu of the monk of the Fallen Temple."
"Don't treat Qi Qianshan's family unfairly and convey the news that this Hu woman was killed by a monk in the Fallen Temple to Tie Liuzhen."
The middle-aged man with an ordinary face said in a deep voice: "In this curtain-covering ceremony in Youzhou, the pilgrim named 'Borrowing Your Head' appeared once in the curtain-covering ceremony in Luoyang. Over the past month, all practitioners from Luoyang who came from Luoyang must find out this person."
"I understand."
"Also, Xie Wan's whereabouts must be found out."
Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed to stop giving instructions, the young man disguised as a gambler saluted again and prepared to leave.
"You should be careful, rather than fail than be impatient and aggressive." The middle-aged man's voice came to his ears again, "Ten days ago, I had recommended you to Hongyang Villa. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be considered a registered student at Hongyang Villa. In fifteen days, I will ask you to go back to Chang'an."
Young people naturally know what the Hongyang Villa means in the Tang Empire.
His body was slightly stiff.
But it was just a little stiff.
Then he took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
...
A black shadow fell in the corner of the wall behind the inn.
There are many empty carriages at the corner of the wall.
The black shadow suddenly felt something. Before he could sweep back, he heard a familiar chuckle, and then a curved black shadow fell towards him.
The black shadow reached out and found that it was a half-freezing snake.
"Zhou Lu'er..."
The black shadow looked at the snake in his hand, and felt mixed feelings in his heart, and he asked the sky speechlessly for a moment.
The 80-year-old mother was stung and the boat capsized in the gutter.
Xu Qiyingming was caught by Zhou Lu'er, a thin monkey.
"Brother Xu Qi?"
Zhou Lu'er smiled and came out of a carriage, looking at Xu Qi who was inexplicably sad.
Xu Qi lowered his head, then suddenly raised his head like he was defeated, and nodded vigorously at Zhou Lu'er.
In the team, except for the people who are rushing around in Yinshan, Zhou Lu'er was the first to see Xu Qi.
Xu Qi is also very thin and looks like he is almost thirty years old. His hair is tied like straw and his hair is very thin.
His face was a little too pale, and the blood vessels in his skin seemed to be shining with faint blue light under the starlight.
His face is very small, his cheekbones are protruding, and his eyes are particularly large, especially his two eyes are so dark that they look a little different from normal people.
In fact, if you suddenly see such a person at night, anyone would probably be shocked, but Zhou Lu'er was not afraid at all, but was particularly happy, "Brother Xu Qi, then let's get close."
Xu Qi also knew that Zhou Lu'er's catchphrase had been caught by Zhou Lu'er anyway, so he let Zhou Lu'er slaughter. He said he could drill into the carriage behind Zhou Lu'er, and then stuffed the snake back to Zhou Lu'er.
"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you here guarding me?"
When Zhou Lu'er came back, Xu Qi's dark pupils were particularly confused, "Do you know I'll come here?"
"I guess it's you." Zhou Lu'er was particularly proud. "The inn is very good, there are so many mice, but there are no mice in this corner. I think since no one else catches mice here, it must be your brother Xu Qi."
The confusion in Xu Qi's eyes turned into helplessness, "Then you guess what if you guess, what should you do when you're waiting to catch me?"
"Brother Xu Qi, aren't you playing hide-and-seek with everyone? Then no one has caught you, so you are boring." Zhou Lu'er said with a smile, "And no one chats with you normally, so you are probably bored. I'll accompany you and get close to you."
Xu Qi was silent for a long time, "Do you know I'm playing hide-and-seek with you?"
"Yes." Zhou Lu'er said proudly, "Brother Fifteen and I often played hide-and-seek when we were young. I couldn't play hide-and-seek with anything else. He couldn't play hide-and-seek with me. Once I hid in the water for a long time, and he was so anxious that he almost cried."
Xu Qi held it in for a while before saying, "You are not very old now."
Zhou Lu'er gestured repeatedly, "That's much bigger than that time, we were only so big at that time."
Xu Qi looked at it for a while before he was sure that Zhou Lu'er was gesturing how shorter than now. He guessed, "I was less than ten years old at that time?"
Zhou Lu'er smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Brother Xu Qi, you guessed it is not bad at all. You are over nine years old and less than ten years old."
Xu Qi fell silent.
Zhou Lu'er looked at Xu Qi with a smile and asked seriously, "Brother Xu Qi, it's just that I and Brother Fifteen played hide-and-seek. After playing twice, I will lose energy. It will take a long time to play again. Why are you playing all the time?"
Xu Qi did not seem to reject Zhou Lu'er's closeness.
It's just that this topic itself makes him easily silent.
He was silent for a while, and did not answer Zhou Lu'er's question immediately, but said: "Do you know why I agreed to go to Chang'an with Brother No. 15 at once?"
Zhou Lu'er shook her head with a smile, "Brother Fifteen can't even guess it, how could I guess it?"
Xu Qi said: "Because of my mother."
Zhou Lu'er glanced at Xu Qi and said sure: "Brother Xu Qi, you are not a mother at all."
"??" Xu Qi shook his head helplessly, "I mean Gu Shiwu has a mother, I have a mother, and everyone in the world has a mother."
Zhou Lu'er shook her head with a smile, "I don't have a mother."
“??”
Xu Qi was speechless and said, "Zhou Lu'er, you can easily die of chatting."
"Is that so, I'll change it." Zhou Lu'er was also a little helpless, "But Xu Qi, I'm telling the truth. I have never had a mother since I was a child. I haven't been outside the pass, and I haven't returned to Youzhou. My great-grandma told me that I have never had a mother since I was a child."
Xu Qi sighed and said slowly, "Zhou Lu'er, you don't understand. Although your parents have been gone since childhood, there is always a mother who gave birth to you. And when your mother dies, I definitely hope you can live well."
Zhou Lu'er looked serious, "Brother Xu Qi, you are a good person, you must be right."
Xu Qi said: "Don't always say that others are good people in the future. There seem to be too many good people like you, but they are worthless."
Zhou Lu'er nodded with a smile, "Brother Xu Qi, why do you have to go to Chang'an if you have a mother?"
Xu Qi found it difficult to explain.
After a while of silence, he said, "I'd better tell you why I always play hide-and-seek with others... Because before my mother died, I let me hide and hide it as usual as usual, so that I can't be seen."
Zhou Lu'er was stunned, "When your mother died, she still likes to play hide-and-seek?"
Xu Qi finally got used to it.
He shook his head and said, "I was younger than when you and Gu Shiwu played hide-and-seek. At that time, an enemy came to him and killed people everywhere. My mother asked me to hide it. When there was no sound, when I came out, there was no one else in the house except me."
Zhou Lu'er was stunned.
He suddenly wanted to howl.
Xu Qi shook his head at him and continued, "I don't even remember my mother's face, I only remember what my mother said to me in the end, and I remember her voice. She told me to hide it well. In the next many years, I kept hiding it without seeing it. Later, I had some skills and met Chen Tu and the others."
Zhou Lu'er held back her howling, and she couldn't speak.
Xu Qi said: "I play hide-and-seek with you because every time I hide well, I always feel that she hasn't walked away and always looks at me at home. She must be very happy that I hide well."
Zhou Lu'er opened and closed her mouth many times before saying, "I don't have a mother. I treat Gu Shiwu's mother as my mother. Even later she died."
Xu Qi laughed and said, "It's okay, your mother must be looking at you somewhere in heaven. You have said that you have a strong life and will be blessed, and your mother will definitely be blessed."
Zhou Lu'er was also happy, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a smile, saying, "That's sure, what my master said, the more blessings we accumulate, the better the blessings we have for our family and those around us."
Xu Qi said: "It is not easy for you to grow up in places like Mingbaipo, and I think Gu Shiwu is as credible as Chen Tu, but smarter than him, so I couldn't help but want to help him go to Chang'an. If Gu Shiwu can live as he imagined, then his mother will definitely be happy to see it in the sky."
Zhou Lu'er said seriously, "Brother Xu Qi, you are really a good person. We will be closer in the future."
Xu Qi felt that Zhou Lu'er's approach to being close and close was a bit unbearable.
But I guess he can't change it either.
Zhou Lu'er felt more and more that Xu Qi was good.
"Brother Xu Qi, you are different from Brother Chen Tu. Brother Chen Tu saw me playing with snakes and told me to get out. He didn't know at all how many snakes were so cool to hide when it was hot in summer."
Xu Qi smiled and said, "For a while, I hid and hid a powerful opponent. When I didn't go out, I also liked snakes."
Zhou Lu'er felt that she had met a melody, "Well, Brother Xu Qi, how much do you like it?"
Xu Qi said: "Every meal cannot be missed, sometimes several meals are served."
"??" Zhou Lu'er was stunned for a while before saying, "Then I'll bake it for you next time."
"I heard Gu Shiwu say that you can communicate with Tianxingmu, and I saw that you can also let those wolves work for you. Do you like these little things very much?" Xu Qi looked at Zhou Lu'er and asked seriously.
Zhou Lu'er said with a smile, "Yes, Gu Shiwu often has to be beaten, practice, and find ways to make money. When he is not with me, I will only talk to the master, but I will only find these little things to play with."
Xu Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Then I have some small methods to teach you, will you learn it?"
Zhou Lu'er immediately cried, "Brother Xu Qi, you are really a great person."
Xu Qi was stunned, "What are you doing?"
"You don't know, Liang Fengning and others didn't teach me. You were the first to teach me the method, but your method is not used for fighting, right?" Zhou Lu'er said, "An old monk once specifically told me that I cannot learn the methods of fighting and killing people, and I will not be strong after learning my life."
Xu Qi was slightly stunned and then said, "Don't worry, I'm not a way to fight and kill people. I can teach you how to make all kinds of small things without touching your mouth. I can also teach you to line up and let these mice listen to your mercy. They are everywhere. If you learn my method, it will be convenient to find mice."
Zhou Lu'er was excited when she heard this, "Brother Xu Qi, I'll designate to learn well."
Xu Qi looked at him with super confident appearance, but was a little unconfident, "Zhou Lu'er, it's not as easy as you imagined, it's a bit difficult."
Zhou Lu'er said with a smile, "It's okay, Brother Xu Qi, you can learn it, but I can learn it even if I specify it."
Xu Qi became in a heavy mood.
He wanted to say, Zhou Lu'er, you are so good at chatting, and it is really difficult to get close to you.
...
However, at this time, the one who was in the heaviest mood in this Youzhou City was a young man from Luoyang.
Anyone who sees the face and figure of this young man will immediately think that this young man is so handsome!
This young man can indeed make a living by relying on his face.
But if a good man wants to become famous and start a career, how can he rely on his face and how can he rely on his own profits?
This person always thinks that inner self is more important than appearance.
It doesn't matter if the face is like a crown of jade.
It is important to be like the bright moon.
This young man feels that his heart is like the bright moon. One day, his inner light will shine on everyone, making people ignore whether he is handsome or not.
But it's over!
He is obviously a good person!
He took over the job of buying murderous people at the curtain ritual meeting, and wanted to save Qi Yuan.
What he thought was that if he took this job with one hand, others would wait for Qi Yu to die with peace of mind. Then he would play with Qi Yu and escape with Qi Yu or directly send Qi Yu out of Youzhou City.
However, the monk who directly killed the fallen view!
Now, I'm afraid everyone thinks that he, who borrows your head, is a monk who is a degenerate view.
What a bright moon.
Now he has become a sludge in the sludge.
Good people become bad people.
Chapter completed!
