Chapter 1057 Taking Chestnuts from the Fire
Chirp!
Ah Fu glanced at Papa.
Jia Pingan said: "Go!"
Ah Fu ran away.
"Ah Fu!"
DouDou whispered.
The panda on the other side saw the people and Ah Fu here, and turned around lazily.
This is a national treasure!
Don’t be afraid of the sky, don’t be afraid of the earth!
Ah Fu rushed across the creek, and the panda accelerated.
The two pandas gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Ah Fu!"
Doudou cried, "Aye, Ah Fu is not coming back."
A few children, even the eldest’s eyes were red.
Since they can remember, Ah Fu has been their playmate. No matter how you rub it, you will not be angry.
Gradually became a family, never separated.
At this moment, seeing Ah Fu disappearing into the distance, they remembered that Ah Fu was an iron-eating beast.
Su Ho was wiping tears, Wei Wushuang looked gloomy.
"Ah Fu's destiny is in the mountains and forests."
Jia Ping'an was also very sad.
Especially when Ah Fu looked at him before he wanted to chase after him.
My cub!
Ah Fu was brought up by him alone, no one can compare in terms of feelings.
Jia Ping'an felt his eyes sore and his nose uncomfortable.
Yunzhang persuaded: "Wait, you might not be able to come back."
Doudou shook his head, "Ah Fu has found his wife, so he won't come back."
The family is sad.
"Then... make camp."
Jia Pingan also wanted to wait.
The bonfire is lit, and the pot is set up.
But no one has an appetite.
Wang Lao Er came over and said, "Mr. Lang, this place is remote, so I'm afraid..."
Master Jia has too many enemies, no one will take the opportunity to attack.
"It's good to come."
Jia Pingan didn't care.
Then a pot of mutton was cooked, and the family couldn't eat it.
"Aye!"
Doudou was the saddest, looking up at him eagerly.
"Aye, go find Ah Fu and come back."
Jia Pingan, who had already had this intention, nodded, "The second child comes with me."
Duan Chuliang said: "Lang Jun, why don't I go too?"
It's not very safe here.
Jia Pingan shook his head, "You wait and take care of Madam and the others. If anyone attacks, no matter who it is... um!"
Duan Chuliang nodded.
Jia Pingan took Wang Lao Er to the opposite side on horseback, and gradually disappeared.
The terrain here is a bit complicated, with hills, and the hills are full of forests.
"Lang Jun, I'm afraid I won't be able to find Ah Fu."
Wang Laoer was very melancholy.
"I have to look for it."
That is Jia Ping'an's cub. Unless he knows that he is safe and happy, how can Jia Ping'an live in peace?
The two of them searched for it all the way.
It is difficult to walk in the woods, the horse can only stay outside, and the two of them go in with their bags on their backs.
"It's getting dark."
Wang Er Er raised his head, "Lang Jun, go back!"
Jia Pingan shook his head and stopped suddenly.
"What did you hear?"
Wang Lao Er turned his face, "It seems to be roaring, Ah Fu? Not Ah Fu!"
After a roar, a panda rushed out, baring its teeth and claws, so fierce that it made people afraid.
Damn it!
Isn’t this the one just now?
Wang Laoer shouted: "Your Majesty, retreat quickly."
He drew his knife and stepped forward, gritted his teeth and said, "Yeah, I'll fight with you!"
In the past, Ah Fu was playing around with his family, but Wang Er Er had tried Ah Fu's strength, and said that he was far from being an opponent.
Pandas are running wildly.
Wang Laoer's face was pale, "Lang Jun, run!"
Jia Ping'an was terrified. Just as he was about to draw his sword and go up, he saw a familiar figure.
Ah Fu!
Ah Fu rushed out from the side, blocked in the middle, and roared at the panda.
Two pandas are fighting.
Jia Pingan was so nervous, "I didn't even bring a bow and arrow. What if Ah Fu can't beat him?"
But Ah Fu was very upbeat, and drove the panda away in a few strokes.
"Ah Fu!"
Jia Pingan regretted it, he felt that Ah Fu should not have left him.
Just like my children, always stay by my side.
Chirp!
Ah Fu yelled at him a few times, then chased after him.
"Ah Fu!"
Jia Pingan followed.
In the woods ahead, after Ah Fu entered...
What is Ah Fu doing?
Ah Fu...
Ah Fu actually climbed a tree upside down.
Then…
Is this peeing?
Ah Fu is leaning against a tree and peeing.
What skill is this?
Jia Pingan heard the roar, deep in the woods.
Ah Fu staggered in, and found a big tree to pee upside down.
My cub, come on!
Jia Ping'an was standing outside.
"Let's rest here tonight."
…
"Ah Fu didn't come!"
DouDou has been watching the direction where Ah Fu disappeared.
Su Ho sighed: "It will come."
Wei Wushuang came over and said in a low voice, "Da Lang is crying alone in the tent."
Su Ho nodded, "I want to cry."
DouDou cried again, "Ah Fu!"
"Someone!"
Xu Xiaoyu let out a low snort, and Duan Chuliang turned around with blank eyes.
Two riders came at a high speed.
"Stop!"
Duan delivered grain, got on his horse and drew his sword.
The two riders still did not slow down.
Xu Xiaoyu raised his bow and set an arrow, Chen Dong raised his hand, and behind him Xia Huo and others pulled out their horizontal knives to form an array.
The two men reined in their horses, "It's a hundred riders!"
Chen Dong said in a deep voice, "Get off the horse to verify your identity."
The two men got off their horses and came over.
Duan Chuliang waved his hand, and Xu Xiaoyu stepped forward.
"A man of a hundred riders."
I didn’t bring Bao Dong with me this time, so I have to identify them.
"I was ordered to find the Duke."
Duan Chuliang pointed behind him, "Lang Jun has passed."
The two rode their horses and rushed over without hesitation.
"I'm afraid there is something urgent."
The sky was dark and they still had to catch up, which shows that things are not small.
The two of them followed the past all the way, and they had to light torches when they arrived.
"Where is the Duke?"
The torch crackled and burned, but no one could be seen.
Going around a small hill, the forest ahead looks bigger.
Since the number of people burning coal has increased, the forests around Chang'an have been slowly increasing.
"do not move!"
Someone suddenly shouted behind the two of them.
"Hero, you have something to say! You have something to say!"
The knife is on the back of the waist, even Baiqi's skills can't handle it!
"identity!"
"Hundred riders."
"What are you doing here?"
"Looking for Duke Zhao."
Someone stepped forward from behind, and pulled out the horizontal knife of the two of them without any hassle.
"Duke!"
The two Baiqi felt that they had narrowly escaped death, and when they saw that it was Jia Ping'an and Wang Laoer, they couldn't help being overjoyed.
Jia Pingan frowned, "I didn't even notice when I was touched behind me, so I went back and practiced hard."
He knew both of them.
"yes."
The voice was louder, and Jia Pingan said, "Keep it down."
"yes."
Seeing Wang Lao Er staring at the forest, the two thought they were squatting to guard some prey.
"What is it?"
Jia Pingan asked.
A Baiqi said: "An envoy from Tuyuhun said that Tubo is ready to move, but there is no news from secret spies. Your Majesty ordered me to wait for the Duke."
This...couldn’t North Korea and China judge it?
Jia Ping'an turned around and looked at Lin Zi.
Go back now... What if Ah Fu comes out?
Ah Fu can’t find me, will he just wander here?
Jia Ping'an said: "When you go back and report to His Majesty, you will say that the child at home is lacking something and will probably stay here for three to five days. Please forgive me."
Baiqi said awkwardly: "Duke, Your Majesty will be furious."
Is your private matter more important or state affairs more important?
"Just report back, and besides..." Jia Ping'an thought this matter was really interesting, "If it doesn't work, you can invite an envoy to visit outside Chang'an City."
The two hundred riders went back.
Jia Ping'an and Wang Lao Er did not bring tents, so they could only sleep in the open.
…
The second court meeting.
"The envoy of Tuyuhun said that Tubo was about to move again, and there were small groups of harassment from time to time, maybe they wanted to do something."
Li Yifu asked: "How about the secret spy?"
Wu Kui shook his head, "The Ministry of War has not received the news. However, if Tubo takes action, it will be thunderous, and we will not give our secret agents a chance to pass on the news."
Li Yifu said: "In this case, I should send a large army to Tuyuhun to sit in town."
The emperor asked: "Where is Jia Qing?"
Didn’t I send someone to look for him yesterday?
people?
The queen said in a low voice: "I'm afraid there is something wrong."
"Your Majesty, Shen Qiu asks to see you."
Shen Qiu walked in, and that meticulous hair became a landscape.
"Your Majesty, the people of Baiqi found Zhao Guogong more than ten miles outside the city yesterday. Zhao Guogong said that the children at home are in urgent need of something and they will stay outside the forest for a few days."
The emperor glanced at the queen.
It was all protected by you!
Does it look like something?
Empress Wu asked, "Do you know which child it is?"
Shen Qiu paused, "The children of the Jia family are all here."
what does that mean?
The empress was puzzled.
Shen Qiu continued: "Mr. Zhao said that the envoy is coming from far away, so he should be invited outside the city to have a look at the scenery."
Li Yifu smiled, "It is appropriate for Duke Zhao to change his place of business outside the city. Your Majesty, the court can make a decision on this matter."
yes!
Shangguanyi said: "The minister seconded the proposal."
Why seek Jia Pingan for this matter?
Xu Jingzong said indifferently: "Xiao Jia is also a famous general! Without his judgment, how can he decide to send troops? Is he the British Duke?"
Li Ji is no longer involved in the government affairs, and he comes every day to make a living.
He nodded slightly, "I think it would be good for the envoy to go out of the city."
Li Yifu and Shangguanyi looked at the emperor, feeling dissatisfied.
They are prime ministers, and the prime minister can make decisions about such matters, but Xu Jingzong and Li Ji are giving bad medicine.
One of these two is Jia Ping’an’s year-end friend, and the other is a family friend...
This is favoritism!
Empress Wu asked: "Who can say what Tuyuhun is doing?"
Li Yifu: "..."
Shangguanyi: "..."
One of these two is a vicious dog raised by the emperor, and the other is the emperor's confidant.
Empress Wu said: "Your Majesty, in this way, the envoys of Tuyuhun can go outside the city."
Li Zhi nodded, and said after the officials had left: "You are domineering!"
Wu Mei sighed, "Yes."
The emperor did not come to call, what is this not domineering?
"But Ping An is not that kind of person." Wu Mei was a little puzzled, "Even if he is an ordinary person, he will not be arrogant and domineering. How important is it for His Majesty to send someone to call, and he didn't come. What exactly does he want?"
Li Zhi said: "He is domineering in the front. If this matter is not good, when Li Yifu and others make noise, I can't hold it lightly."
Wu Mei clenched her fists, "Ping An is not an ignorant person."
The emperor glanced at her fists.
…
Jia Ping'an is just outside the forest.
Wang Lao Er lacked a hand and couldn’t climb the tree, so Jia Ping’an could only use his skills…
Standing on the tree, his eyes are full of vegetation, and there is no shadow of Ah Fu.
But Jia Pingan believed that Ah Fu was inside.
It is morning.
"Ah Fu what to eat today?"
Jia Ping'an was thinking about why the panda came here.
After much deliberation, there is only one possibility, and that is to run down from Zhongnan Mountain.
He looked back, and the Zhongnan Mountain in the distance was looming.
The Northwest at this moment is not an era when there are no wolves in later generations. There are many wild animals and green everywhere.
One ride away.
"Duke!"
It's Baodong.
"The messenger has come out."
Damn it!
Jia Pingan had a headache, "Why can't it be later?"
Bao Dong smiled wryly, "It is said that the envoy can't wait, and I wish that Datang would send troops immediately."
"Send him here."
Jia Ping'an turned around and stared at Lin Zi, always feeling that he heard Ah Fu's voice.
Bao Dong blinked, "Duke, that's the messenger."
Jia Pingan said impatiently: "What's wrong with the envoy? That's Tuyuhun, not Datang!"
The matter of the foreign domain is none of my business!
Bao Dong took a look at Wang Lao Er, and said in a low voice: "Duke, it is heard...the queen is furious!"
Jia Pingan was in a daze, "Let him come."
As for going back and being slapped.
Bao Dong sighed and rode his horse back.
He rode his horse all the way back to the main road, and dozens of riders came ahead.
Lei Hong rode over at a gallop and asked, "Where is the Duke?"
Bao Dong smiled wryly, "The Duke is guarding outside that forest and asked the envoys to go there."
Lei Hong turned around and took a look, "The envoy was a little angry when he left the city, let him go again... The terrible thing is, look, the Duke's family is on the side."
Bao Dong glanced at the campsite, "It doesn't matter."
The envoy came and asked with a straight face, "Where is Zhao Guogong?"
Bao Dong said: "The Duke is waiting for your envoy on the opposite side."
The envoy took a deep breath, "Tuyuhun is so negligent..."
Bao Dong said: "Please go over."
The envoy had a cold face, accompanied by officials from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, all of whom were grimacing at the moment.
An official grabbed Bao Dong, "What is Zhao Guogong doing there?"
Bao Dong said, "I don't know."
The official sighed: "The envoy came to Chang'an, but the person in charge said that he was waiting in the wilderness. Who would believe it?"
Bao Dong kept his mouth shut, "Anyway, I believe it."
A group of people passed by, and saw a girl standing there outside the camp, staring blankly into the distance.
There is a wooden bridge on the creek. After a group of people passed by, two riders appeared.
"A man of a hundred riders."
Two hundred riders rode their horses on the side.
Keep going.
Going around several hills, there are two tents outside a dense forest in front of you.
There is a bonfire outside the tent, with a pot on it.
A man is stirring in the pot, and another man is watching Lin Zi from the side.
The envoy got off his horse and went forward, cupping his hands at the man who was looking at Lin Zi, "I have met Zhao Guogong. This time I came to Chang'an under orders, and it can be said that it is extremely urgent, but His Majesty ordered me to come to see the Duke...do you have time now?"
The man who looked at the forest turned around, and the messenger found that he had broken a hand.
Not Jia Pingan.
The messenger turned around.
Jia Pingan, who was cooking, raised his eyes and said lightly: "Your envoy is a guest from afar, sit down."
The envoy sat down involuntarily.
The weather is a bit hot, and it is extremely uncomfortable to sit by the fire.
"What did Khan ask you to do?"
Jia Pingan put down the spoon and asked.
The envoy said: "Tubo keeps invading Tuyuhun, and the nearest place is approaching Shudun City. Khan is gathering troops to take precautions, but Tubo has been preparing for many years, and he is afraid that the whole dynasty will be poured into Tuyuhun. Khan ordered me to invite Datang to send troops. .”
The official of Honglu Temple nodded, "That's true."
Jia Pingan glanced at the porridge in the pot, and asked, "Tubo invaded Tuyuhun? How many casualties?"
The envoy blurted out, "Thousands of people!"
Jia Pingan glanced at him, "Don't talk nonsense."
The envoy got up and said, "Everyone in Tuyuhun knows about this."
Jia Pingan took a step back, "It only takes half a day for me to make something known to everyone."
The envoy blushed, "Is the Duke trying to humiliate Tuyuhun?"
"Lang Jun."
Wang Laoer handed over the towel, and Jia Pingan took it and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Why did Tubo keep attacking Tuyuhun in the past? It was because Tuyuhun had an important terrain and could threaten Datang. Secondly, Tuyuhun had a population with money, cattle and sheep, and it would be easy to beat them down." It’s a fertile land.”
The messenger sneered.
Bao Dong suddenly pressed the handle of the knife and shouted: "This is Zhao Guogong, who gave you the courage to sneer at Guogong!"
The officials of Honglu Temple also had a cold face, "Your envoy must be polite."
The envoy's heart trembled, and he saluted, "I'm sorry."
Jia Pingan said: "I'm used to it too."
Lei Hong saw that the messenger's neck was red.
Jia Pingan said: "At that time, Datang was restrained by Liaodong, so Ludong Zanfang had the courage to attack Tuyuhun continuously. Now that Liaodong is peaceful, Datang can concentrate its forces to attack in one direction, and Tuyuhun is not far from the hinterland of Datang. Sending troops is easy, and supplies are much easier."
The envoy said: "Kelu Dongzan is ambitious."
Jia Pingan chuckled, "The more ambitious you are, the more you know how to judge the situation. After the Great Tang pacified Liaodong, the army with high morale was looking for a decisive battle with Tubo. But the plateau is difficult. If Lu Dongzan is willing to abandon This is Datang's opportunity to go down the mountain with his own natural barrier."
He asked lightly: "Go back and tell Khan to live in peace."
The envoy was obviously angry, "If the Tubo army comes, who will stop it?"
Jia Ping'an said calmly: "If that's the case, I'll hurry there and live and die with Shudun City."
The envoy blushed and said, "This is a humiliation to Tuyuhun!"
"enough!"
Jia Pingan shouted: "Coax Datang with some inexplicable lies. If it weren't for the princess, I would have killed you today, and then sent an envoy to reprimand Nuohebo!"
The envoy looked at the officials of Honglu Temple with tears in his eyes.
The official smiled wryly, "Duke..."
Jia Ping'an narrowed his eyes and said, "If something goes wrong, Jia will take responsibility for it! Let's go!"
The official cupped his hands, "That's fine."
The envoy suddenly jumped up, "In this case, I might as well die here."
In his previous life, Jia Ping'an met the person who used to ask for payment from the company.
Someone knelt down and wailed loudly, begging for 30% of the payment.
Someone stood by the window and said he would jump off without paying...
The envoy searched around, and the official hurriedly persuaded, "Duke, why don't you... discuss it again?"
Jia Pingan stretched out his hand, "Knife!"
Choking!
Wang Laoer drew his knife and handed it over.
The envoy retreated subconsciously.
Heng Dao was thrown in front of him, Jia Pingan said flatly: "You can kill yourself in front of Jia!"
The envoy stared blankly at Hengdao.
"Khan!"
The envoy shouted, turned around and ran away.
The officials of Honglu Temple asked people to chase, and smiled wryly: "Duke, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles this time."
Jia Pingan said: "This is just a shame."
The official sighed: "How can the Duke determine that this matter is false?"
Jia Pingan asked back, "Did Nuo Hebo gain power recently?"
"This is the news that the princess' attendants will give, the Duke... unexpectedly knows?"
Jia Pingan shook his head, "I'm just guessing, tell Your Majesty that Tubo dare not start a war in Tuyuhun. In addition, Nuohebo can't be in power, otherwise he will develop ambitions."
The official was shocked, "Duke, you mean that Nuo Hebo is full of ambitions, so why did he ask Datang to send troops?"
Jia Pingan said: "The ambitious Nuohebo discovered that Tuyuhun was caught between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and there was no room for expansion. He didn't dare to show his teeth to the Tang Dynasty, but he was able to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to help him out of the fire. "
The official said: "This matter is important, and I will go back immediately."
Chirp!
He felt that Jia Ping'an should explain something more.
Jia Ping'an turned around in ecstasy.
"Ah Fu!"
