Chapter nine hundred and twenty fourth
Li Su is a person who owes words. Fortunately, Gao Lingzhen is relatively simple and should be an uninformed girl. She can't understand such a hooligan saying, so Li Su's teasing words feels like a heavy punch hitting cotton. She can't even understand such lightweight teasing. Heavyweight "sit up and move yourself" may even play the piano against a cow.
Gao Lingzhen came in a fierce momentum. People with such an angry expression stood in front of Li Su, usually the person who came was not kind.
Li Su said he was very calm. He didn't beat women, but he didn't mind being angry with women.
"You are not here to treat me to midnight snack..." Li Su looked behind her and found that she was empty and had nothing outside her body. She couldn't help but sighed in disappointment and said, "...Of course, it's not here to give me a gift. I can see that you are here to argue with me."
Gao Lingzhen gritted his teeth and stared at him angrily, his beautiful eyes spitting out.
"Yes, Duke Li County, I'm here to argue with you."
Li Su yawned: "I will not be with you for anything that is not good. I will charge you for a quarrel with others. Two jin of money can be quarreled for half an incense stick. It is large in quantity and low in price, and it is safe to be fooled. Your princess will go back and bring some money and then come to argue with me how to do it?"
Speaking of money, Gao Lingzhen became more and more angry and said angrily: "You robbed my father's palace, where did you get the money?"
Li Su tskated and said, "The princess turned out to be a dependent on her parents. Then we are so happy that we are talking to each other. Come and see off the guests."
Fang Laowu behind him just moved, but Gao Lingzhen broke out: "Mr. Li County, don't bully people too much!"
Li Su's face suddenly sank: "Your Highness, you may not have figured out something. I would like to remind you that the capital of Goguryeo is under the control of my Tang Dynasty soldiers. I am the knife and the fish. I have not ordered the slaughter of the whole city to destroy it. What's the right to be angry? What's more..."
Li Su paused, sparks of anger appeared in his eyes, and his white face suddenly turned red: "What's more, do you know how poor your father is? Two thousand of us searched and searched in the palace, only some tattered jars and jars were found. Those things were worthless, and they would have to work hard for my Tang soldiers to move them away, making it as if we came from all the way to pick up scatters and sanitation for your father's palace. Do you really think we are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness? If you don't have money to live in a palace, what kind of style will you put on! Your sticks are really too bullying! Bah!"
Li Su was so angry that he lost his mind. There was no way. When it comes to the topic of "money", he was a little controlful and could not remember how many...
Gao Lingzhen was confused by Li Su's sudden anger and had a natural sense of fear towards Li Su. After her original identity as a princess was revealed, this sense of fear was a little weaker, so today I had the confidence to rush to attack the army and ask for punishment. However, when Li Su was angry, Gao Lingzhen was frightened again. The memory of being a prisoner in the Tang army camp surged into her heart at this moment. Only then did she realize that Li Su was a powerful man in the Tang State, and she, strictly speaking, was Li Su's enemy. And until now, her and her father's lives were in the thought of this powerful man in the Tang State. In such a situation, where did she just emerge from the inexplicable courage to challenge him?
The six-year prisoner experience was so deeply rooted in people's hearts. Gao Lingzhen lowered her head almost like a conditioned reflex, pinched the corner of her clothes tightly with her bare hands, and blurted out pale face: "I'm sorry..."
As soon as he said that, Gao Lingzhen was stunned again.
What are you sorry for? What do I have to do to him? Because our palace is poor, will you invade you invaders? It's simply outrageous. This is the real bullying!
The hand holding the corner of his clothes was exerting force more and more force, and Gao Lingzhen restrained the idea of dying with him.
People are the slaughter and I am the fish. Gao Lingzhen is a princess of Goguryeo after all. Although the family is a little poor, at least they must take care of their people and not be trapped by their momentary impulse.
He has been together with the powerful Tang Dynasty in front of him for quite some time, and Gao Lingzhen has some understanding of Li Su's character. Li Su seems gentle and elegant, and looks like a handsome young man all day long. But in fact, Li Su is simply an unreasonable live bandit, especially his attitude towards the enemy country, whether it is a captive or a princess, in his eyes, they are all enemies. He does not tell any reason to the enemy at all. The hard truth is the big fist.
He knew his nature, but... his appearance as a handsome young man from the world was so attractive. Gao Lingzhen's face suddenly turned a little flushed. Even she herself couldn't tell whether she was angry or shy at this moment.
Li Su had no idea about Gao Lingzhen's complicated emotions at this moment. Seeing that she said sorry habitually, Li Su's mood suddenly improved, and a look of "I reluctantly forgive you" appeared on her face.
"Forget it, just pretend that our Tang Dynasty was not slaughtered the fat sheep. Fortunately, the Quangai Suwen Mansion was very strong and did not disappoint us for the second time..." A glimpse of pleasure flashed in Li Su's eyes, then glanced at her, and a serious and angry expression appeared on her face, and sighed: "Your Highness, it's not that I said you, your father is the king of the country, how could he be so poor? The palace was magnificently built, but it was covered with some rags inside, as if someone rushed to snatch you before our Tang Dynasty soldiers. The lord of a country, like a beggar, aren't your father ashamed? Our Tang Dynasty soldiers rushed into your father's palace. Was it robbed or poverty alleviation?"
Looking at Gao Lingzhen's angry look, Li Su sneered: "I'm so embarrassed to come over and vent my anger with me. It seems like I've suffered so much grievance. Is it a robbery for our Tang Dynasty soldiers to enter the palace? We are clearly helping your father clean up the ruins of the palace, okay, we are still full of grievances. Why are you angry? Tell you, this matter is not over, your father has to pay another cleaning fee, otherwise it will set fire to your broken palace."
Gao Lingzhen was almost angry: "Mr. Li County, don't go too far! You are still right to rush into my Goguryeo palace to rob and kill people?"
After venting his anger, Li Su returned to his lazy appearance, half lying on the soft couch, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and his expression lazily said: "Okay, stop at this time, don't test my patience. If you are fine, hurry up and help us soothe the people in Pyongyang City, or see your father leading the Tang Dynasty soldiers to Dasuo the whole city and kill the rebels. You can do anything, don't disturb me sleep here..."
Gao Lingzhen said angrily: "I have something to do."
"Speak quickly, it's best to be more concise in language, because I'm... asleep......" Li Su said, his eyes closed, and his mind fell into a hazy state of about to fall asleep.
Gao Lingzhen bit her lower lip, and her white teeth made her red lips lose her blood color, but her expression became hesitant. Her pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water stared at Li Su's white face in complexity, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I, I... Gao Zang, the king of Goguryeo, is willing to promise Princess Goguryeo Jian'an to Li Su, Duke of Jingyang County, Tang Dynasty. The two countries will be married, and will be harmonious forever, and will be harmonious for generations."
After saying that, Gao Lingzhen seemed to have lost all her strength and exhaled in exhaustion. Her pink face turned red like blood. She bowed her head and never dared to look at Li Su again.
This decision has nothing to do with Gao Lingzhen. Last night, after Gao Zang was taken back to the camp by the Tang army, he met Gao Lingzhen in a hurry. The father and daughter gathered in the Tang army camp. The two hugged their heads and cried bitterly. After their emotions were calm, Gao Zang regained his rationality, and the emperor's ruthless and cold-blooded side naturally revealed.
He knew that his life was in danger. Even if the Tang army did not kill him, Quan Gai Suwen would not let him go after he came back. At this time, Gao Zang needed to save himself and use all means to save himself. There was only one person in front of him who could use it, that was Gao Lingzhen.
The so-called imperial art is the art of balance. When the power is in control, he knows how to balance the court situation and never let the court officials dominate. He must establish another force that can compete with it to restrain it. If the emperor is just a puppet, then the art of balance will become a skill of success. He will do any person or thing that can be used, any way to protect his life.
Since only Gao Lingzhen can be used in front of him, Gao Zang immediately came up with the idea of marrying the Tang Dynasty. At least he can guarantee that the Tang army will not kill him at the moment, and his life in danger will be saved. If he is lucky, he may also get help from the Tang Dynasty. After Quan Gai Suwen returns, the Tang army's 20,000 troops can become his most important help at a critical moment.
As for the marriage partner, there is almost no suspense.
Li Ji was so old that he had already had many wives and concubines in his family, so Gao Zang could not choose him no matter what. The only one left was Li Su.
Li Su was young and handsome. More importantly, Gao Zang had already inquired about it. Li Su was very important in the court of Tang State. He was not only the nephew of British Duke Li Ji, but also the best friend of Jin King Li Zhi, who was most likely to become the crown prince in the future. In addition, Li Su had a good relationship with many famous generals in the court, and the Emperor of Tang also attached great importance to him. He was promoted to the county duke at a young age. There was almost no suspense in the future. If the next monarch of Tang State ascended the throne, it was certain that Li Su would definitely hold great power and dominate the court and the country.
Gao Zang also heard that Li Su had only one wife in his family and had not taken a concubine for several years. Gao Lingzhen married as the Princess of Goguryeo and would never be wronged in the Li family. In the future, a short-term peace could be achieved between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.
Such a dazzling character was tailored for marriage, so why didn’t Gao Zang want to? Looking at Gao Zang’s shameful and charming expression after marriage, Gao Zang was convinced that his daughter Gao Lingzhen was actually very willing.
So, while Gao Zang led the Tang army to kill Quan Gai Suwen's minions, Gao Lingzhen took the initiative to find Li Su and put forward the suggestions of marriage between the two countries in person.
Unfortunately, Li Su was already in his sleep at this time and didn't hear what Gao Lingzhen was saying. Instead, Fang Laowu, who had been staring at Gao Lingzhen in the tent, heard it. He couldn't help but be shocked and angry when he heard it. As expected, this foreign female monk was coveting the beauty of the prince!
Fang Laowu was extremely anxious at this moment. He and the mistress of the Li family, Xu Mingzhu, experienced life and death together in the desert outside Yumen Pass. In the Li family mansion, Fang Laowu has always been Xu Mingzhu's unwavering supporter. Now, seeing that this female monkey is about to squeeze into the Li family mansion and share the favor of her prince with the mistress, she cannot agree.
Gao Lingzhen lowered her head deeply and waited for Li Su's reaction. She didn't hear any movement for a long time. She looked up carefully and saw that Li Su was actually asleep. Gao Lingzhen was extremely disappointed. Behind her, Fang Laowu let out an unkind snorted groan at the right time, which scared Gao Lingzhen so much that she was at a loss when standing in the tent.
The curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted open. Zheng Xiaolou walked in quickly, glanced at the helpless Gao Lingzhen, then walked to Li Su, and woke him up without hesitation, with his movements very rude.
Li Su opened her eyes dissatisfiedly and sighed after seeing Zheng Xiaolou's coffin face.
If he tolerated it, this person doesn't care about his status as a powerful person, and Li Su can't beat him.
Zheng Xiaolou glanced at Gao Lingzhen again, then attached himself to Li Su's ear and whispered: "The general is sending a message. The soldiers who were patrolling the night just now took down a spy. Before he got it, the spy was planning to escape from the camp..."
Li Su frowned: "Since you have taken it, let's try it. What are you doing?"
Zheng Xiaolou said: "I've tried it myself. I've kept my hands this time and didn't kill anyone. I just used two torture instruments and couldn't hold on. I'm so happy to take it all."
"What did he admit?"
"This person is an eunuch beside Gao Zang, the lord of Goguryeo. Gao Zang led our soldiers to arrest and kill the rebels of Quangasuwen in the city. But behind his back, the eunuch escaped from the camp and reported to Quangasuwen. Moreover, Gao Zang had already grasped our next move. He asked the eunuch to lead the message, so that Quangasuwen would not have to attack Pyongyang directly, but would go east and intercept us near the border line of Silla..."
Li Su was shocked and his face suddenly became ugly.
It is very thrilling. If the eunuch is not taken down, he will escape smoothly, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
His cheeks twitched, and Li Su gritted his teeth and said, "Gao Zang, an old thief, is perfect in his skills. He took the initiative to lead the way to kill Quan Gai Suwen's minions, and informed Quan Gai Suwen, conveyed military aircraft, and both sides pleased and did not offend either side. No matter what the final result, no one would blame him. He had a good idea!"
Zheng Xiaolou said: "The general is sending a message, and you will leave this matter to you. The general will not ask."
Li Su snorted angrily, stood up and said, "Let's go and visit this king again."
Gao Lingzhen kept observing Li Su's face quietly. Seeing him whispering to Zheng Xiaolou, Li Su's expression was shocked and angry. He vaguely heard them mention the name of his father. When Li Su stood up, Gao Lingzhen panicked and hurriedly said, "Where does Li County Duke want to go?"
Li Su passed by her and said without looking back: "Go and beat your father, come and watch this princess, don't let her run around!"
