"Tubo was defeated."

Rhodes and the generals were discussing how to suppress a rebellion that had just occurred, and the messenger came.

"Defeated?"

Rhode suddenly became excited.

The messenger said: "Lu Dongzan gathered 300,000 troops to attack Shule City. He couldn't get out for a few days, and then the Tang army came..."

"etc!"

Rhode raised his hand to stop the messenger's words, frowned and said, "Shule City is extremely far away from Longyou Road and Chang'an. How could the Tang army arrive in a few days? No, they are..."

A general said, "Are the Tang army ready to attack Tubo? But if they want to attack Tubo, they would not go here, right? Could it be..."

"Did they want to attack us?"

Rhodes said: "Not necessarily, but it's a good thing to bump into both sides."

Someone said, "Did they know the Tubo people's attack?"

Rhode nodded, "It's possible."

He nodded to the messenger.

The messenger continued: "The Tang army was more than 100,000, and the two sides fought near Shule City. Tubo was defeated, saying that Lu Dongzan only fled with hundreds of cavalry..."

"Three hundred thousand..."

Luo De was silent for a long time, "Lu Dongzan is a huge threat. Even if he goes back this time, he will be a loser. Tubo... is not worth worrying. But what about the Tang Dynasty in the future?"

He looked up, "The Tang Dynasty has no opponent ever since... This emperor!"

There was a solemn look in Rhode's eyes, "In the past one or two years, I have collected a lot of news. When this emperor ascended the throne, he was surrounded by powerful ministers. I thought this was another story of a powerful minister and Zampo. Unexpectedly, this emperor counterattacked the powerful ministers and then fought everywhere, clearing out all the threats of the Tang Dynasty. This is an ambitious emperor, and I think we are in trouble."

A general asked, "Rod, what you said is trouble, but will the Tang Dynasty keep an eye on us?"

Rhode nodded, "The Tang Dynasty has no opponents, where is the huge army going? I asked, the other side of the Tang Dynasty is full of the sea, and the only thing they can go is the west, that is, ours."

"Rod, last time our envoy went to the Tang Dynasty, the Duke of Zhao said that there should be a buffer between the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi, and Persia was the place where the Tang Dynasty determined to be the buffer for the two countries, which imply that we should withdraw from Persia."

A general said indignantly: "This man is domineering. If he meets him on the battlefield, I will tell him what the Great Food Warrior is."

Rhodes looked at him with a cold look.

The messenger said: "The leader of the Tang Dynasty in this battle was the crown prince, and the Duke of Zhao was the deputy commander. But the prince was young, so we probably commanded the Duke of Zhao."

The general was stunned.

Rhode said lightly: "This person is not something you can underestimate. He can defeat Lu Dongzan, and it will be easy to defeat you."

The general bowed his head and apologized.

Rhodes said: "Send messengers back and tell them that the giant of Datang opened his eyes to the West. How should we choose? To retreat... They will definitely ask us to withdraw from Persia. The so-called Persian governor, Belus, is reportedly on his way to Chang'an for help. This is the best excuse for Datang... So, ask them, should Dashi retreat or move forward!"

He looked at Dongfang, as if there was a flame burning in his eyes.

"I hope to fight him!"

...

Chang'an in early summer is a little hot, but Qin Sha's heart is as cold as ice.

"Dalang, live well."

Zhang held his hand, with countless attachments in his eyes.

"yes."

Qin Sha held back her tears.

Last year, the medical officer said that if Zhang's condition could survive the winter, there would be still half a year.

Now that half a year has not arrived, Zhang's life has come to an end.

Zhang glanced at his daughter-in-law Yang, "You have to take care of him."

Yang nodded in tears, "Yes."

The children stood beside him, and Zhang looked over with kindness one by one, and finally looked at Qin Sha, "What I worry most is Li Yi Mansion... Dalang, promised me that I will stay away from him for the rest of my life."

Qin Sha nodded vigorously, "Yes."

Zhang sighed, and a sound came from his throat.

"I……"

Zhang held his son's hand, "I should have left long ago... the gods blamed him... but I can't bear to leave you alone in the world... Dalang, I want to... have a good life... and live a good life."

The hand squeezed Qin Sha's hand hard and then couldn't let go.

"Ah my mother."

Qin Sha looked down at his mother.

Zhang glanced at him for the last time and slowly closed his eyes with infinite longing.

"My mother!"

Qin Sha called softly.

A tear fell on Zhang's thin cheeks.

Then another drop, never stopped again.

...

Qin Sha took leave.

Li Yi's mansion ordered his son to go to the Qin family to deliver the ceremony.

His life has not been easy recently.

The emperor gradually handed over the things that needed to be done by his confidant to Xu Jingzong and Shangguan Yi.

This is a dangerous signal.

But he is still in charge of the mouth-watering yamen of the Ministry of Personnel.

When he returned home from the yamen, Li Lu said, "Qin Sha's mother is said to be as thin as a pole, but she just misses him for hard work. Alas! I feel sorry for all parents in the world. By the way, Qin Sha asks me to thank Aye... If it weren't for this ceremony, Qin Mother's funeral would be a bit simple."

Li Yifu said: "I gave him a lot of money. At first I thought he was spending money, but later I realized that this person was a filial son and used it all on my mother. Such people... Dalang must remember that only filial people can make friends."

"Yes." Li Lu smiled and said, "Qin Sha is pitiful. If it weren't for Aye's help, he would have been declining long ago."

Li Yifu's expression changed, and Li Lu quickly shut up.

“Help…”

Li Yifu thought of his current situation.

After losing the emperor's attention, he felt that the officials in the court were watching their jokes, and some were even more ready to move.

"This is a problem."

"What's the trouble?" Li Lu asked.

"Your Majesty has been dissatisfied with me recently and gave most of the matter to Xu Jingzong and Shangguan Yi and others." Li Yifu looked at his son, "Your Majesty said that you would not tell me if you were to sell official positions, but you would also take charge of the Criminal Department and let me control it..."

Li Lu said: "It's just a little sold. Aye serves His Majesty. Isn't this any benefit? If so, who is willing to serve him?"

"Shut up!"

Li Yifu stopped him, then said with a cold face: "Your Majesty has always been dependent on me, why did you suddenly change? I feel... I am afraid that this is something wrong at home..."

He suddenly rushed out, ran to the doorstep, and still retreated...

"Alang!"

"Aye!"

The whole family thought that Li Yifu was afraid that he was confused.

Li Yifu stood in the distance and looked over his home and came back for a long time.

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with our family, so I'll ask someone to come and have a look tomorrow."

The next day, Li Yi's mansion sent someone to find the sorcerer Du Yuanjilai.

Du Yuanji looked at the fairy style and Taoist lord, his eyes were light and gentle, and he looked like a master.

"I've met Lee Sang."

Li Yifu nodded, "I have some things in my family recently. I heard that you are good at looking at me, so come and have a look."

Du Yuanji gave a free and easy manner, "a small thing."

Then he checked everywhere in the Li family and said confidently: "I saw the resentment."

Li Yifu felt a stern heart and couldn't help but think of the people he had killed over the years.

"Where does the resentment come from?"

Du Yuanji said: "I saw the resentment in prison."
