Chapter 303 Lip and Teeth (15)

"This one is..." Liu Gu pointed to Lin Shuang and asked in confusion: "Why do I think I look so familiar? Where have we seen it?"

Liu Yang was about to introduce him, but Liu Gu suddenly realized and shouted: "I remembered it! It was you! He was messing with me in the hall back then, as if he was the deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Why were you here?"

Liu Yang hurriedly explained: "Father, this is all because of the request of Man'er's sister. When the child left the Tang Dynasty, Man'er was worried about my safety after returning, so he asked the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send the hero Lin Shuang to the child as a bodyguard. Now it seems that Man'er is really foresighted. If it weren't for him, both of us father and son would probably have fallen into the hands of the West Gateway."

Liu Gu's face changed slightly, he sighed and lowered his head, and said dejectedly: "I really didn't expect that Ximen Hu would be so bold. I originally wanted to call him to the palace to verify his process in the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect that he would take the risk. Don't be afraid, the father has already prepared, so he will be asked to die without a place to bury him."

Liu Yang was overjoyed and said, "It turns out that my father had made arrangements. Could it be that your army is nearby?"

Liu Gu smiled slightly and said, "This preparation was originally reserved for the Tang Dynasty troops, but I didn't expect that it would be used on Ximen Hu's head today."

"Troubleshooting the Tang Dynasty?" Liu Yang's face suddenly changed drastically and he shouted: "Father, you...you shouldn't have contacted those white devils, right?"

Liu Gu smiled proudly and said, "That's natural. Now the Tang Dynasty has unified the country and occupied Da Su. It has long become the biggest opponent of my Great Zhou. Although Man'er married there, no one may decide whether the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would give up his hegemony for Man'er. Just in case, I have sent people to contact those white devils. Although we don't understand their language, many things can be solved without language. My special envoy brought a lot of gold. After contacting those white devils, he gradually understood their words. From their mouths, I already knew the situation in the desert."

"According to those people, their desert is not composed of a country, but each city acts independently. The white ghosts who invaded our Great Zhou are just a city. In order to get their help, I agree to give them all the territory of Tuhu to them, so that their help can be obtained when the Great Zhou is in crisis."

"Actually, I don't want to have a conflict with the Tang Dynasty. I agree to the Tang Dynasty's proposal is an example. In addition, letting Yanger and Princess Changle get married is based on this consideration. This time, the special envoy once again proposed to buy their weapons, to test it. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty flatly refused, which is very evident. However, now the matter of the Tang Dynasty is not considered yet. I want to rush to the desert immediately and ask them to send troops to defeat Ximen Hu, and the restoration of the Great Zhou is just around the corner."

Liu Gu's words made Liu Yang, Lin Shuang and others stunned. They did not expect that Liu Gu had done so many things secretly. The Emperor of Great Zhou was indeed extraordinary.

After a brief shock, Liu Yang immediately shouted loudly: "Father, how can you do this? Those white devils are not my race, and working with them is undoubtedly a matter of being a skinned by tigers. Once they have any evil behavior, my Great Zhou will be in danger! My Father, from the contact between Erchen and Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is not an ambitious person and is very good to Man'er. Last time he took the initiative to ask for marriage to Dazhou just to give Man'er an identity. Father, the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty is extraordinary. If you want to invade my Great Zhou, you will have attacked him long ago. Father, please agree to your devils and let him go to the Tang Dynasty to seek help and let the Tang troops come over. It is always much better than those White Devils."

Liu Gu smiled coldly and said, "Although the Great Zhou and Tang Dynasty are of the same origin, we are enemies all year round. The strength of the Tang Dynasty is so powerful that allowing the Tang Dynasty troops to enter Zhou is tantamount to attracting wolves into the house. After all, your experience is still insufficient and you cannot see through the sinisterness of people's hearts. Faced with the powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Zhou and the Desert City can be said to be dependent on each other, and they can resist it when they are united. If they are defeated separately, we will all be in danger. The Emperor, Ximen Hu is not worth worrying, and the desert is not worth worrying. The real threat to the Great Zhou is still the Great Zhou!"

Lin Shuang suddenly burst into laughter. He stood up and said to Liu Yang: "Big Prince, the emperor's order is to protect you, but since you do not trust the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to stay here. I will report to our emperor truthfully, both of you, goodbye."

Liu Yang hurriedly said, "Sir Lin, please stay! Rong Xiaowang advised his father again."

Liu Gu turned around slowly, looked at Lin Shuang and smiled slightly, and said with a fist: "This hero, I have made a mistake just now, so please forgive me. In fact, these things have been done before the hero came. I really didn't know the true attitude of the Tang Dynasty at that time. However, now the hero saved our father and son in danger, which shows the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, everything I just said has become a thing of the past. Please be calm. After discussing with the emperor, I went to the Tang Dynasty with the hero to ask for reinforcements."

Lin Shuang's face cleared a little, she nodded and said, "I hope what the emperor said is true. I'm here to wait for your results."

Liu Gu sighed, walked slowly to Lin Shuang, clasped his fists again and said, "No matter what, I really want to thank the hero for his life-saving grace this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'm going to die in the palace. Please give Liu Gu a bow." After that, he bent down deeply.

Although Lin Shuang was a little cynical, Liu Gu thanked him as the emperor, so naturally he could not be careless anymore. He hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to hold Liu Gu's hand, and said, "The emperor said this, I dare not take it anymore..."

Speaking of this, I suddenly felt empty in my hands, and Liu Gu's fists hit Lin Shuang's chest like lightning.

Lin Shuang's martial arts are so skillful. Although Liu Gu's fists are less than one punch from his chest, he can still react in time. His chest sinks, and his right palm hits Liu Gu like lightning.

Liu Gu didn't expect that this punch would hit the air. Seeing that Lin Shuang's palm had hit his chest, he didn't bother to continue attacking and dodge, but Lin Shuang still slashed his chest with a palm. Suddenly, a severe pain made him almost breathless.

Lin Shuang tried hard to leave the battle group, looked at Liu Gu and smiled coldly, saying, "Although my martial arts are not yet up to standard, I am more than enough to deal with you. However, our emperor has no intention of dealing with you, so I am not ready to attack you. You two, please do your own thing, so I will say goodbye." After that, he took the two people around him to leave here.

Liu Gu finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, staring blankly at the direction where Lin Shuang disappeared, not knowing what he was thinking.

After running for a few minutes with his two subordinates, Lin Shuang stopped in front of Lin Lingfeng who was waiting there, and asked the two assistants to pass Liu Gu's words to Li Ming.

Li Ming was really shocked when he received this unexpected telegram. His developed and strict intelligence network did not detect Liu Gu's small actions over the years. This Emperor of the Great Zhou was really a strong enemy.

Li Ming thought for a long time in the secretariat, and then sent a telegram to Lin Shuang, asking him to continue to stay in Yunxiao City, monitor Ximen Hu's every move, and asked him to wait for an opportunity to reveal Liu Gu's decision and movements to Ximen Hu. Lin Lingfeng's mission had been interrupted by Liu Gu. Considering the matter in Linjiazhuang, Li Ming called him to come back.

The turmoil in the Great Zhou Kingdom ended with an unexpected ending to Li Ming. After walking out of the Secretariat, Li Ming didn't know what it felt. To be honest, Liu Gu's consideration was very correct, but Li Ming himself was deliberately trying to take back the Great Zhou Kingdom. From the perspective of an emperor, Liu Gu's decision was not wrong. However, Li Ming knew that Liu Gu's trip would inevitably bring a more chaotic situation to the already very chaotic Great Zhou Kingdom. Those white people were very aggressive. Although the Great Zhou Kingdom was bitter and cold, it was like a paradise compared to the desert. They would never take the initiative to go back after entering the Great Zhou Kingdom. At that time, Liu Gu really led the wolf into the house.

However, all this is no longer important. Li Ming has done his best to be kind and righteous. No matter how chaotic the Great Zhou Kingdom is in the future, Li Ming always has reason to invade the Great Zhou. At most half a year later, his first and third legions will all adapt to the latest modern equipment, and the Air Force will have at least eight aircraft put into use. At that time, he will be able to sweep the entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time.

When they returned to the bedroom, Zhang Yao, Lin Long and Man'er were waiting for him. When they saw him coming in, a complicated look flashed in Man'er's eyes.

Li Ming hesitated for a moment, took out the telegram sent by Lin Shuang and handed it to Man'er, then sat speechlessly, waiting for her reaction.

After reading the telegram with a pale face, Man'er asked in a trembling voice: "My husband, what's going on?"

Li Ming smiled helplessly and explained: "You know that after your father's envoy left, I was a little uneasy. You know Ximen Hu's personality. You will definitely take risks after learning that your father wants to deal with him. However, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, your father may not believe what I said, so I specially asked Long'er to go to Linjiazhuang to invite my master to take action and go to Yunxiao City to protect your father. Yesterday, Ximen Hu finally launched a rebellion. In the chaos, my master and Lin Shuang rescued your father and Liu Yang. They originally wanted to send them to the Tang Dynasty, but... you also saw it on the telegram that your father had already contacted the white people in the desert, and I was powerless now."

Man'er's pale lips trembled, and she sat dejectedly on the chair, tears slid down her face.

Zhang Yao and Lin Long hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him softly. After a long time, Man'er calmed down. She walked to Li Ming and knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "My husband has done so many things for his father and the others. Man'er is very grateful. Since they have their own choices, don't make things difficult for him in the future. Mr....Don't tell Man'er about the Great Zhou anymore. You have done enough. Man'er said that there will be no more entanglements with the Great Zhou in the future."

Looking at Man'er's pale face, Li Ming felt ashamed. In order to find an excuse to invade Dazhou, he ruthlessly deceived her. This really made him feel uncomfortable, but for the sake of Datang, he had to do these things against his will.

"Brother, although the result of the matter was unexpected, you have tried your best, so don't think so much in your heart." Among Li Ming's three wives, only Lin Long knew the specific story of the whole matter. Although she did not agree with Li Ming's approach, she still agreed. However, he did not expect that Li Ming's conspiracy actually led to Liu Gu's secret, which cannot be said that God is teasing people.

Li Ming looked at Lin Long and nodded gratefully, reached out and pulled Man'er into his arms.

The next day, Li Ming ordered the command to draw out three troops from the Second Corps in the southwest to replenish Wang Wen's First Corps. At the same time, the First Corps sent two troops to replenish Tuhu Airport to prepare for the upcoming expansion of the airport.

The runways at Tuhu Airport will be increased from one to two, which will increase the response speed of the air force during wartime and lay a solid foundation for fighting for the situation.

At this time, Princess Changle's bride group only entered more than 100 kilometers in the Great Zhou territory.

At the same time, Li Chaoyang, who was in Linzhou, sent a telegram claiming that they had found the place Li Ming mentioned. At present, more than 100 people are catching up on the time to study it.

At this time, Li Ming once again got a rare opportunity to relax. In addition to routine official duties, he spent most of his time with his three wives. He had completely handed over the military affairs to the Holy Hand King.

In the following period, Tuhu Airport began to be re-expanded, and the two reinforcements were transported there by airships. The size of the Tuhu Base was more than doubled compared to before. After several battles with some local tribes, there was no more cavalry harassment from the Tuhu Airport.

In Youzhou, due to the discovery of a large number of iron mines, it has become another steel base. The steel produced there is directly transported to the weapons processing factory established in Zhongzhou. There, the equipment level of several newly built weapons processing factories has far exceeded that of the Jiangzhou Industrial Base. The weapons and ammunition manufactured by the arsenal were directly sent to the First and Third Legions through the highway.

A month later, according to the information network on the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ximen Hu had already controlled all the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Half a month ago, Liu Guang, assisted by Ximen Hu, finally ascended the throne, and the chaotic military of the Great Zhou Kingdom had begun to gradually stabilize. And Liu Gu, since that time, there has been no news.
