"Once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years." Qu Li looked worried.

"So many years have passed, and we are older." Chen Guanzhu whispered: "I can't go much further. When I came back from Kunlun Mountain, I got into a disease. They said that this disease would make me a crazy monkey who eats people. I thought I couldn't live long, and even wanted to hang myself to end my life. But when I stopped, the disease cured for no reason, like a joke."

For Qu Li, the experience in Kunlun Mountain and Changbai Mountain was like a nightmare. In order to find the answers left by the old guy back then, how many people died for the so-called immortality, the end result was not just a waste like a dream.

Qu Li nodded in a low voice, "Yes, I'm old, how far can we escape if we escape again and hide."

The next day, Zhang Jiuling woke up and pushed Li Taibai, who was still drunk next to him. He opened the window and looked out from the window of this winery to see most of the prosperity of Luoyang.

Li Taibai then woke up slowly, looking at his messy hair around him in a daze and asked, "When is it?"

"It's almost noon." Zhang Jiuling soaked the silk cloth in cold water and handed it to Li Taibai, "wash it and refresh your mind."

"Thank you." Li Taibai took it and wiped his face hard, and then he felt a little awake. "I have to go to Mount Tai again, so I will say goodbye first."

"Shan Tai?" Zhang Jiuling asked in confusion: "What are you doing in Taishan?"

Li Taibai packed his clothes, "Since ancient times, Emperor Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were both in Mount Tai for the Fengshan Mountains. I also wanted to see the style of Mount Tai, and there was an acquaintance to meet him."

"It's better to follow Brother Taibai to walk here, and I want to witness the scenery of Mount Tai." Zhang Jiuling also said.

"OK."

Li Taibai did not refuse either. The two packed up some things and prepared some dry food and walked out of Luoyang City and headed towards Mount Tai.

He took out the water bag and took a sip of wine, "It was a waterway for dozens of miles and a long journey. I'm afraid it would take more than half a month to walk."

"I have nothing to do when I am free, I can use what I have learned in my life to see the style of the Central Plains." Zhang Jiuling said as he walked.

In Chang'an, Li Chengqian received the 800-li military newspaper from the Tubo Protectorate. Persia and Dashi had already fought. Dashi had fought in the front, and the Roman troops were obsessed, and the army began the eastern expedition in a mighty manner, with more than 500,000 troops!

The war has begun in the west. Listening to the talks between Chu Suiliang and Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui has not moved yet,

"Pei Xingjian, do you think Xue Rengui's troops are about to move now?" Li Chengqian asked in a low voice.

"Go back to Your Majesty!" Pei Xingjian replied in a low voice: "Now is not the best time to use troops. General Xue Rengui is right to suppress the troops and horses and not launch them now. Now there are many soldiers and food consumed by the Tang Dynasty's expedition this time. You will get something if you pay, and you will get something if you send troops. This time, you will have another more important purpose in addition to repelling Rome and Dashi."

Chu Suiliang took the speech and said, "Your Majesty! Gu Qing and we have been planning for a long time. The layout of the Western trade route has been for several years. Now it is the time to reap the results. At this moment, we must not be eager to make a move. If we just want to repel Rome and the Great Food, it will be of no benefit to the Tang Dynasty. If we can open up the Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty in Persia and India in the future, control Persia and India, and take the entire trade route into our hands. "

Seeing that Li Chengqian's face was not very good, Chu Suiliang continued: "Although the war was urgent, Xue Rengui was considered a veteran when he went on a few battles. He was deeply taught by General Cheng. I must have his own plans. Listen to the wind and rain in the West, we will sit and watch the wall and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

When the war in the West began, Li Chengqian was very excited. This was a good time to build his own achievements. By seizing the Lord this opportunity, you can do what your father did not do. Even if Rome and Dashi are a good thing, it would be better if you can calm down and take the entire trade route into your hands.

Chu Suiliang knew Li Chengqian's thoughts. What Li Chengqian needs most now is to be recognized by the people of the world. The most famous one in the market is Li Shimin from the previous dynasty. Li Shimin is respected as the Khan of the Heavenly Khan in the West. There are many stories of Li Shimin from that time circulating in the market.

Li Chengqian's father was a mountain that was pressing on his heart, and there was another mountain that is Gu Qing now.

It was not that Li Chengqian had thought of winning over Gu Qing, but Gu Qing was a man who was not in trouble and bought Li Chengqian's account. Even Li Shimin could not tame Gu Qing, let alone Li Chengqian. Gu Qing admired Li Shimin for his ability to do things for Li Shimin. In a sense, Gu Qing was trying to repay favors.

There are also the elders of Chang'an who admire Li Shimin and Gu Qing, recognize Li Shimin's emperor, and recognize Li Shimin's achievements. There are some things that Li Shimin asked Gu Qing to do, and he would do as long as Gu Qing wanted to do. It was not like a ministerial relationship. It seemed that Gu Qing respected Li Shimin more.

Sometimes there are some relationships of mutual utilization and complementarity. Gu Qing needs to achieve what he wants, and Li Shimin also wants this result. One turns a blind eye to the other, and the other does something wrong outside, which leads to a tacit understanding.

There is no need to say much about Gu Qing's achievements. It is not an exaggeration to say that the merits of several wars are to expand the territory. In the battles of Yanmen Pass, Hexi Corridor, and Goguryeo, all the victories were won in every battle. Gu Qing's reputation in the Hexi Corridor and Tubo battles were spread far and wide across the border countries, killing the countries speechless and famous. Li Chengqian is not as good as Gu Qing in terms of fame, even a murderous reputation.

What Li Chengqian needs most now is a sense of existence, a sense of existence in the eyes of the world. It cannot let foreign countries know that there is a Gu Qing in the Tang Dynasty. He did not know that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Li Chengqian. This is also the reason why Li Chengqian always wanted to establish achievements, and an existence that can be recognized by others.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Gu Qing for being too famous. There are even rumors outside the pass that as long as Gu Qing is in the Tang Dynasty for one day, the countries outside the pass dare not offend the Tang Dynasty. The bloody consequences have only been over a few years, and no one wants Gu Qing to go on a war again.

There are even rumors outside the pass that it would rather offend the emperors of the Tang Dynasty than offend Gu Qing.

Li Chengqian would not be unaware of these rumors. That's it. Li Chengqian was urging Xue Rengui again and twice. It can be seen that Li Chengqian was eager to establish a career. He was always fighting and fighting in his heart, always wanting to surpass Gu Qing and win Gu Qing.
