Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

What about your persistence and original intention?

He thought it would take a while, but he didn't expect the other party to agree to the grain deal.

Why is this?

Isn't the purpose of the Dongying people just to want Qizhou, and then use Qizhou as a pedal to plot the entire Datang?

No one would believe this kind of thing now.

But Li Xiao is a latecomer, and he clearly knows that devils do such things a lot.

and many more.

That's not quite right either.

Both sides knew that the other side was not a fool, and it was impossible for Qi Zhou to loan him out.

So this request is just an excuse to deceive people?

It's just a trick to advance and retreat, and the next best thing?

So, what is the real purpose of these Japanese people?

Is it really just food?

"You're welcome, it's just a transaction."

Li Xiao looked at Liu Ruohan thoughtfully, thinking a lot in his heart.

"For His Highness, it's just a transaction, but for this concubine, His Highness is my lifesaver for millions of people in Dongpu."

Liu Ruohan shook his head slightly, and continued: "You Han people have a saying that you don't say thanks for your kindness. It just so happened that I came here this time, and the concubine has the mission of making a marriage. How about Lianli?"

"What?!" Li Xiao was stunned immediately.

"Your Highness, but you don't want to? Do you despise my concubine?" Liu Ruohan looked sad.

"No, why do you have to marry me?"

Li Xiao looked surprised: "I'm still a child, how can I have a bridal chamber with you... Bah! How can I marry you? There is too much age difference between us."

"It's okay, I don't care about my age, I can wait." Liu Ruohan said resolutely.

"But I care, don't bring this up again!" Li Xiao rolled his eyes and said angrily.

Liu Ruohan was a little disappointed, paused and said: "Since that's the case, I won't force you any more, but can Your Highness show me some face? I want to cook and entertain Your Highness myself. This is just my wish. Please don't refuse Your Highness."

"Cooking?"

Li Xiao was thoughtful, then nodded: "Okay!"

For some reason, when he heard the word "cooking", he unconsciously thought of poisoning.

He would like to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this Dongying man...

Chapter 68: Good acting

An attic in the concierge courtyard of Honglu Temple, this place is the residence of Dongying Princess Liu Ruohan.

Along the way, Li Xiao found that the decoration here is very luxurious, comparable to a palace compound.

However, one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps, the defense is very tight.

Li Xiao also discovered that there are many hidden auras in the dark.

The entire Honglu Temple has been guarded tightly.

Not long after, Li Xiao and Liu Ruohan came to the attic lobby.

"Your Highness will rest for a while, and this concubine will go cook for herself."

Liu Ruohan poured Li Xiao a cup of tea and prepared to leave.

However, Li Xiao swaggered and sat on the chair, and said immediately: "Miss Liu, you don't need to be busy. You asked me to come here to avoid eyes and ears. If you have anything to say, just tell the point straight to the point!"

Liu Ruohan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Highness is really smart..."

After finishing speaking, she refused to continue, but looked thoughtfully at Zhao Yuntian beside Li Xiao.

"Commander Zhao, you go out first, there is no danger here." Li Xiao ordered.

"Yes!" Zhao Yuntian clasped his fists and left.

After Zhao Yuntian left, Liu Ruohan also asked all the servants to retreat.

At this time, there were only Li Xiao and Liu Ruohan in the front hall.

"There is no one now, can you tell me?"

Li Xiao looked at Liu Ruohan thoughtfully.

The next moment, Liu Ruohan's face suddenly became serious, with a look of pleading in his eyes, he immediately knelt down and shouted: "Please help, Your Highness!"

"What's wrong?" Li Xiao frowned.

"Your Highness, in fact, the little girl is not from Dongying, let alone a princess..." Liu Ruohan cried with a miserable expression.

"what's the situation?"

Li Xiao was greatly surprised.

This kind of thing is actually deceitful, what is the purpose of Dongpu?

"Your Highness, my ancestral home is Qizhou. I was kidnapped when I was five years old and brought to Dongying for training. They arrested my parents. I have no room to resist. I can only obey them obediently."

"Why are you telling me this?" Li Xiao asked with a frown.

"Your Highness, I can't help myself. If this marriage fails, I will be useless, and my family and I will be lost forever."

"And even if the marriage is successful, if I stay in Chang'an, Dongying will give me countless tasks to endanger Datang. Sooner or later, there will be a day when it will be exposed. At that time, not only will I be regarded as an abandoned child, but the whole family will still have to be together. Burial."

After Liu Ruohan finished speaking, he sobbed in a low voice: "I've thought about it, only Datang can save me."

"Your choice is very wise. Generally speaking, secret work will not end well."

Li Xiao nodded slightly, with a trace of praise in his eyes, and continued: "Then, tell me, what is the mission you have received? What is the purpose of the Dongying Mission to Datang?"

"Your Highness, how could they tell me such secrets?" Liu Ruohan shook his head lightly, "The task I received was to find a good opportunity to hide in Chang'an, that's all."

"It's just hiding and waiting for orders. The contact person in Chang'an, you always know who it is?"

Li Xiao narrowed his eyes.

He is very clear that Chang'an seems to be calm, but there is definitely a spy network hidden by the enemy country.

He didn't expect to have such an opportunity when he came to Honglu Temple to lie down.

only……

This opportunity came too easily.

Sure enough, Liu Ruohan shook his head again, and said, "I don't know about the spies in the capital, I only know that after coming to Chang'an, there will be a man named 'Hou Ye' who will come to me with a special token as a token. "

"Master Hou?"

Li Xiao was shocked.

He is too familiar with this name.

He was assassinated before, and all the clues he found pointed to this Lord Hou.

Moreover, this Marquis is probably Fang Xuanling.

He never expected that this Lord Hou not only wanted to assassinate him, but also secretly colluded with the Dongying people.

What is he going to do?

Li Xiao was extremely shocked. After pondering for a while, he said slowly, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Your Highness, the imperial court must have spies in Dongpu. As long as my family can be rescued, the little girl is willing to do anything for the imperial court." Liu Ruohan quickly expressed his opinion.

"This is a bit troublesome." Li Xiao frowned.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiao said: "I can only say, try to save your family members, it may not work, there is no guarantee."

Liu Ruohan smiled miserably, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness, hope is better than nothing."

"Don't get too excited, you have to cooperate with me to find 'Hou Ye', otherwise nothing will be discussed." Li Xiao said expressionlessly.

"No problem, your Highness tells you what to do, and the little girl obeys your orders!"

Liu Ruohan readily agreed.

"I haven't figured out what to do yet, just wait for news from me."

Li Xiao was frowning, his brain was working extremely fast.

"That's it, the king has something else to do."

Li Xiao finally took a meaningful look at Liu Ruohan, then turned and left.

After Li Xiao left, Liu Ruohan sat quietly on the spot, expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, a few servants came in from outside the door.

"Princess, does he believe it?"

The servants all had serious faces, with chilling expressions.

Liu Ruohan nodded slightly, and said expressionlessly: "From his demeanor, he should believe it."

"In Chang'an, it is said that King Yue is very intelligent, far superior to ordinary counselors, and it seems that it is nothing more than that." The corner of the servant's mouth curled up, and said disdainfully.

"It's our princess who played the role well. How could that brat not know much about the world? How could he see through it? Hehe..."

Everyone else laughed too.

"Don't be careless, this Li Xiao is not so easy to deal with."

Liu Ruohan shook his head slightly, his face a little dignified.

"Princess, the next step..."

"Shh!"

Just when a servant girl was about to speak, Liu Ruohan's expression was startled, and he booed quickly.

The next moment, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Several servants hurriedly scattered and stood up respectively.

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open, and Li Xiao walked in slowly.

"Your Highness, what else is there?"

For some reason, Liu Ruohan had a bad premonition in his heart when he saw Li Xiao who had gone and returned.

Li Xiao looked at Liu Ruohan thoughtfully, and said slowly: "I think about it, and I always feel that there is something wrong, but I can't think of it."

"What questions does Your Highness have? Maybe the little girl can help His Highness clear your doubts."

Liu Ruohan smiled.

After speaking, she waved back again.

Li Xiao watched these servants leave quietly, and then slowly said: "Since you sincerely rely on Datang, why don't you just ask my father? My father is more reliable than this king, right?"

"Also, your words give me the feeling that I am being completely monitored, but these servants seem to obey you."

"In the end, you said that you are not a princess. This is what confuses me the most."

"You also know that my Tang Dynasty also has spies in Dongpu. How can I not be able to tell your identity? The high-level people in Dongpu are not so stupid, right?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Ruohan raised her brows slightly, and her heart sank.

She thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Your Highness, you are suspicious. I have lived in the imperial family of Dongying since I was a child, and it is not difficult to hide the secret from Datang's spies."

"Clap clap clap!"

Li Xiao slapped his hands and said with a smile, "Yes, the acting was good."

"But you seem to have overlooked one thing."

After speaking, Li Xiao shouted without looking back: "Commander Zhao, come in!"
