After this cruel change, Zhu Youlang finally realized the cruel reality.

That is, if he still wants to continue to live, if he wants to protect his family and not die in the next Burmese soldiers' pillage, then there is only one way to go.

That is, I secretly sent an envoy to sneak back to the country and lead the Tang army to destroy the Mangbai regime before I could save my life.

Soon, Zhu Youlang counted the surviving personnel and found that there were less than fifty people left behind in the village. Basically, all the officials and guards were slaughtered, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, living in the world.

What kind of evil did I, Zhu Youlang, have caused such a disaster and caused you to be slaughtered by this sword and sword! Seeing this tragic situation, Zhu Youlang couldn't help crying again.

At this time, a trembling voice sounded from the pile of dead people: King Gui, I am not dead yet, please save me.

Zhu Youlang was stunned and saw a pile of corpses. Li Guotai, who was under his closest eunuch, had a bloody face and squinted his face, but he still called out to him with difficulty.

Zhu Youlang's follower and the disabled, drove away the dead people pressing on him and rescued Li Guotai from the pile of corpses.

Thank you for helping King Gui. Our family, Jae Chang, was knocked unconscious by the Myanmar soldiers. Fortunately, he was not injured, so he was lucky to have a life of life. Li Guotai wiped a handful of blood and said sadly: Oh, but, by chance, I was lucky enough to hide this time. The next time the Myanmar soldiers come again, we will all die. King Gui, you must think carefully about how to act in the future.

Zhu Youlang had a cold face and didn't say much. He just waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat before talking to Li Guotai alone.

Guotai, I will give you an important matter. Zhu Youlang’s face is gloomy.

Please let King Gui say clearly that I must do my best.

Zhu Youlang looked directly at Li Guotai's panicked eyes and said in a deep voice: I want you to quickly bring me my handwritten letter and sneak back to the country to report the current situation in Myanmar to King Li Xiao of Tang. At the same time, he asked him for help and told him that if he was willing to lead the troops, we would all be willing to respond to the inside. It would be no problem for him to lead the way and explore.

Speaking of this, Zhu Youlang sighed: If the Tang army could destroy Mangbai and avenge us. Although I was a royal family in the Ming Dynasty, I would also like to serve him loyally from now on. Moreover, if this matter is done, I will not ask for much reward. I just hope that I can wait for a place to live in peace, and I will be satisfied.

After hearing Zhu Youlang's words, Li Guotai's eyes were covered with tears, and then he kowtowed: Please rest assured, but if he fights, he will also bring the king's order to Li Xiao. I believe that the Tang army will send troops quickly to save us from the trap.

Zhu Youlang nodded and wanted to find the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but found that these items had long been swept away by such greedy Burmese soldiers. There was no way to find a piece of broken paper and a brush in the whole room.

Zhu Youlang gritted his teeth, lifted the hem of his clothes, pulled off half of the hem, then bit his middle finger and wrote it blood on it.

Seeing Zhu Youlang's face was tense and his clothes were written in blood, Li Guotai was filled with tears in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Soon, Zhu Youlang finally finished writing, so he carefully put the blood and handed it to Li Guotai. Li Guotai solemnly accepted it and hid it carefully in his close place.

Guotai, I thought about it carefully. In order to make the Tang army convinced that this letter was safe and to share the risks. I decided to let the prince Zhu Cixuan walk with you and return to the middle school. If the king suffers from the wild and vicious hand, he can also protect his bloodline and prevent the whole family from being completely wiped out. After Zhu Youlang finished speaking with tears in his eyes.

Li Guotai's throat surged, and then he thrust again, and knelt on the ground: Please rest assured, even if the old slave died, he would sacrifice his life and bring the blood letter back to the country with the prince. Please rest assured.

After the plan was settled, Zhu Youlang then called out his beloved son Zhu Cixuan and told him earnestly: Xuan'er, follow the arrangements of his father and sneak back to the country with Li Daban. Don't be like his father. Because of his momentary ignorance, he ended up being humiliated and killed by the death of his soul. Along the way, you will listen to Li Daban's words and do not make any decisions. If you are destined to meet again, you, my father and son should not meet again. If you are not destined to be destined to be good-for-no matter, then today will be the last farewell to you, my father and son.

Zhu Cixuan burst into tears and said sarcastically: No! Father, the child does not want to leave the father and the mother, the child wants to be with you!

Zhu Youlang shook his head in pain: Xuan'er, you are eight years old and should be sensible. You have also seen the massacre today. The enemy soldiers are so cruel! It's a pity that we are in a foreign land and live, but in the end we can't even save our lives. We are slaughtered like killing chickens and dogs! My father is in a foreign land, and he is killed by those damn Burmese people at some point. In such a dangerous place, such a Shura realm, how can you keep your children here again?

When Zhu Youlang said this, his eyes were filled with tears, and it was almost impossible to continue.

Father, since it is such a tiger and wolf place, why don’t we leave together? Zhu Cixuan said sobbingly.

Zhu Youlang looked painful and sighed again: Xuan'er, the father is the leader of everyone. He was regarded as a great death by the Burmese soldiers. He had no way to escape. But you are still a child after all, and your goal is not outstanding. As long as you disguise yourself as a method, you will be able to escape successfully and get rid of the sea of ​​suffering. Xuan'er, you must remember that if the father and mother are in trouble, you will be the only one who inherits the bloodline of King Gui.

Zhu Cixuan burst into tears, but finally nodded sensibly: The child understands, everything is followed by the arrangements of the father.

Zhu Youlang nodded and immediately ordered Li Guotai, Zhu Cixuan, and the two surviving guards to prepare quickly.

The four of them immediately took out the monk's costumes that had been prepared but had been hidden deep underground, then shaved their hair off the spot, preparing to dress up as monks, and use this to conceal people's eyes and escape.

Zhu Cixuan's hair shaving was handled by his mother himself.

The woman, whose eyes were crying like a rotten peach, saw that she was still a ignorant child, knelt on the ground with a calm face, quietly waiting for herself to come and shave her head. She couldn't help but feel sad. She threw the razor, hugged Zhu Cixuan, and shouted sadly: Oh my God! My miserable child, I'm sorry for you!

For a moment, the mother and son hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

At this time, Zhu Youlang on the side was also in tears. He couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he turned around quietly and said in a trembling voice: Princess, don't cry, shave it quickly. Don't miss the time when Xuan'er and the others set off tonight.

The princess cried and cried, but could only suppress herself. She picked up the razor again, untied Xuan'er's hair bun, and then shaved all his hair in strands.

The hair fell down, and the mother's tears also flowed down one by one, splashing on the newly shaved head. The wet and newly shaved bald head reflected the faint moonlight outside the window, and it was hazy and pale.

After shaving his hair, the four of them changed into monk's clothes and dressed up their clothes, and said goodbye to Zhu Youlang and others.

Before leaving, Zhu Cixuan knelt on the ground, and with tears flowing down his face, he kowtowed three times to Zhu Youlang and his mother: Father, mother, and children will be together. I hope you will take good care of you. We will meet again in the future. As for my younger brother, he is already asleep, so there is no need to wake him up. I hope you can help me take good care of him.

Zhu Youlang intimately patted his thin shoulders: Xuan'er is so sensible, his father is very happy. He will take good care of your mother and brother, so you can go with Li Daban with confidence.

Then, Zhu Youlang gave Zhu Cixuan a detailed reminder and asked them to set off immediately.

It was the first night, and the village was still filled with smoke. Under the bleak moonlight, there was a silence and silence.

And the Burmese soldiers who returned home today were drinking and celebrating outside the village. They were drunk and didn't notice that in this seemingly lifeless environment, four fake monks sneaked out of the village like ghosts in the dark night.

Under the leadership of Li Guotai, they bypassed the avenue and walked the small paths straight to the China-Myanmar border.

Just as Li Guotai and others sneaked back to China quietly, Song Xiance, who was the envoy, happened to return to the capital, and immediately reported the results of the interview with Li Xiao to Emperor Dashun Li Zicheng.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Li Zicheng listened to Song Xiance's report with a grim expression, and the muscles on his face were trembling constantly, and the teacup in his hand was trembling constantly.

Li Xiao, I'm going to your grandma!

Li Zicheng roared, and the teacup in his hand slammed hard on the ground. With a bang, the teacup turned into countless pieces, and the tea juice splashed everywhere, spilling everywhere.

emperor

Come to your mother! You fucked thousands of miles to Nanjing and talked to Li Xiao about such a bad thing! Li Zicheng stared at his eyes, looking very ferocious and ferocious: Forget it! Let’s cede all the Dashun Kingdom to Li Xiao. I, the Emperor of Dashun, will not do it anymore, let his grandmother’s Li Xiao be the one!

Seeing Li Zicheng so furious, Song Xiance, who reported the situation, was so scared that he thumped and knelt on the ground. Niu Jinxing, who was sitting beside him, was also so scared that he trembled all over.

Li Zicheng was like a trapped beast, paced back and forth in the East Warehouse. When he walked to the white cloud copper brazier, he gritted his teeth and wanted to kick over the charcoal basin that was burning with a blast, but in the end he forced himself to hold it back, but he stomped his feet hard on the ground, shaking the charcoal basin constantly trembling.

Okay, after cutting Hanzhong and Henan, then, will Guanshan and Beizhili be handed over to Li Xiao naturally! Such humiliating conditions have completely lost my face! Song Xiance, you, didn't object to reject him at that time, and you were embarrassed to return to the capital to report to me, do you want to disgust me in a daze? Li Zicheng was still talking angrily and looked angry.

Song Xiance had cold sweat on his forehead. He knelt on the ground. He finally waited until Li Zicheng's anger was relieved before he said in a slight indifference: I have so much trouble doing this. I hope the emperor will understand it.

Difficulty? You bastard who has lost all my face, can you have a big problem! Li Zicheng was angry again when he heard his words. He walked towards Song Xiance quickly and stood there two steps away from him. Then he shouted angrily: If you don’t explain it clearly to me, I will cure you a crime of being ungrateful and understanding the world!

When Song Xiance was frightened by Li Zicheng, his muscles on his face trembled. For a moment, he was very anxious, but he couldn't say much.

At this time, Niu Jinxing, who was beside him, coughed lightly and slowly inserted his words: Emperor, although these words of Shangshu Song seem to be extremely harmful to my face, in fact, if you look closely, they are quite beneficial to me.

Benefits? What are the benefits? Could it be that we don’t embarrass the Hanzhong, the central and southern parts of Henan like good grandsons to Li Xiao, not only will we not be embarrassed, but we will have the benefits? Niu Dayan, what you thief said is so vague! Li Zicheng turned his head and looked angry and ferocious.

Emperor, let me listen to the old minister’s detailed explanation. Niu Jinxing sighed: Now in Hanzhong, the Tang army is already under heavy troops, and our army is scarce, so it is inevitable that we cannot defend. Instead of being easily taken away by the Tang army, it is better to do a favor like this. After these chaos in the middle of Henan, the county has become a cloud of ruins, and the people are almost completely destroyed. It is actually no pity to throw such a place to the Tang army. If the central Henan gives the Tang army, then the southern Henan becomes an enclave, and it will be difficult to defend again. Moreover, in southern Henan, there are mostly barren lands such as hilly sand dunes, and it is difficult for the people to support themselves. All the cities rely on external forces to support the Tang army, so it is not considered to be too harmful to the country if they give it to the Tang army.

As soon as Niu Jinxing finished speaking, Song Xianke said hurriedly: Prime Minister Niu said that if Hanzhong and central and southern Henan were all assigned to the Tang army, our army could recall nearly 300,000 troops from central and southern Henan, as well as Hanzhong and other places, and then deploy defenses in major cities on the south bank of the Yellow River and along the Qinling Mountains to prevent the Tang army from crossing. In this way, our army could not only shrink its troops, avoid logistical difficulties, but also make it very easy to defend. It is also more convenient for the country to dispatch troops.

After listening to the two of them, the originally angry expression on Li Zicheng's face immediately relieved a lot. He narrowed his eyes and was also thinking carefully about what the two said.

He knew that what Dashun lacked the most now is time to rest, which is the most critical and important goal. If this step is not done well, then Dashun will lose its national strength in the future, and even fall apart. If he insists on not being able to make peace with Tang Jun for the sake of face, then the biggest loss will be himself.

What's more, from the analysis of the two, even if the Tang army has obtained Hanzhong, central and southern Henan, it will be easier to defend if it shrinks its troops and abandons these two useless places. Then, even if the Tang army does not abide by the agreement and rebels in the future, it will be easier to deal with the enemy's invasion.

Grandma's, the dog-walking Li Xiao, the calculation is really accurate.

This person can not only achieve his goal, but also maximize his own interests. This is truly a pity that he is not as good as that.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng raised his head and sighed: Dashi! Since that's the case, I'll admit it! Niu Dayan, go and draft the imperial edict, and say that I agree with Li Xiao's conditions and send Song Xiance as the plenipotentiary representative to Nanjing to sign an agreement with this guy.
Chapter completed!
