"The three princes are brothers of Longtuqi Branch. Why did Longtuqi Branch chase and kill the three princes?" Li Zaigu narrowed his eyes slightly and said suspiciously.

"My three brothers opposed Longtuqizhi's dependence on the Western Turks, and even opposed Longtuqizhi's enemies with the Tang Dynasty, so they were resentful by Longtuqizhi. His confidant minister slandered Longtuqizhi, saying that my three brothers wanted to seize the throne. Longtuqizhi believed in slander and ignored the brother's feelings and wanted to arrest my three brothers for guilt. My three brothers were forced to escape from Yanqi because of helplessness." Long Jie said helplessly.

Long Xianna and Long Lipo nodded to show that what Long Jiebi said was true.

Li Zaigu nodded clearly.

"Now the three princes have escaped from danger, where are they going?" Li Zaigu asked again.

"My brothers originally wanted to go to Xizhou to join the Tang Dynasty." Long Jiebi replied.

Li Zaigu said "Okay", thought for a while, and then said, "This general manager sent several soldiers to escort the three princes directly to the Anxi Protectorate."

"This..." Long Jiebi hesitated for a moment, "Thank you, General Manager Li!"

Long Jiebi knew in his heart that Li Zaigu wanted to send soldiers to escort them on the surface, but in fact he wanted to send soldiers to control them.

In other words, Li Zaigu did not completely believe them, just in case they were the detailed works of the Longtuqi tribe who went to Xizhou.

However, even if he could guess it, he would not dare to refuse.

What's more, being controlled by the Tang soldiers is better than being chased and killed.

Long Xiannazhun and Long Lipozhun heard that Long Jiebi did not reject Li Zaigu's request, so they had no objection.

Long Jiebi’s conjecture is not wrong.

The reason why Li Zaigu sent soldiers to escort them was, on the one hand, for their safety, and on the other hand, for their surveillance.

Although Li Zaigu didn't think they were like the masters sent by Long Tuqi to Xizhou, they were princes of Yanqi after all. If they knew that they were leading their troops to attack Yanqi, they would not be indifferent.

Li Zaigu believed that if they had done it carefully, they would not have been chased by Yanqi soldiers. After all, they did not know that they were nearby, and the Yanqi soldiers guarding the pass did not know that they were nearby, so they did not need to act.

What's more, Li Zaigu could see that the Yanqi soldiers guarding the pass really wanted to kill them desperately.

Another point is that even if the Longtuqi branch wants to send Sezuo to Xizhou, it is impossible to send his own brothers.

"Before the three princes left here, I had a question to ask for advice." Li Zaigu glanced at Long Jie's nose. Long Xiannazhun and Long Lipozhun said with a serious expression, "I have heard that the terrain of Yanqi's capital is dangerous and surrounded by water, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Is this true?"

"It's true!" Long Jiebi was answering the conversation again.

"Since that's the case, I have a reluctant request."

"Mr. Li, but it's okay!"

"This supervisor needs three princes as guides to take us into Yanqi's capital."

"This...is probably inappropriate." Long Jiebi hesitated.

"Why?" Li Zaigu's face darkened.

"Although my three brothers are not ashamed of Long Tuqi Branch, they are Yanqi people after all. How can they lead outsiders to attack my Yanqi capital!" Long Jie said with gritted teeth.

"This general manager led his army to attack the Longtuqi branch, which has nothing to do with the rest of the Yanqi country. As long as we capture the Longtuqi branch, our Tang army will withdraw." Li Zaigu said lightly.

Long Jiebi looked at each other with his two younger brothers, and then began to think.

After a while, Long Jie said, "Although Long Tuqizhi is sorry for my three brothers, I am unwilling to be a sinner in Yanqi."

"Okay, this manager is not forced to do anything!" Li Zaigu's tone was cold.

After saying that, Li Zaigu waved his hand and signaled that they could leave.

"Mr. Li, wait a moment, Xiao Wang has something to say." At this moment, Long Lipo suddenly spoke.

Li Zaigu immediately stared at Long Lipo Zhun, with questions in his eyes.

"Xiao Wang is willing to be the guide of General Manager Li!" Long Lipo continued.

"Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense!" Long Jie said anxiously.

He looked stern, his tone was filled with anger.

"Please be careful, please be careful, I know what I am doing." Long Lipo was definitely not timid.

After a slight pause, he turned to Li Zaigu and said, "Master Li, please allow my three brothers to discuss for a moment."

"Okay, please give me a try!" Li Zaigu's expression became calm.

So, Long Lipo and Long Jiebi, Long Xianna walked aside and discussed in a low voice.

"Fourth brother, if you are the guide of the Tang army, it means betraying Yanqi, you will be scolded by the Yanqi subjects and become an eternal sinner of Yanqi." Long Jiebi said to Long Lipozhun in a reproachful tone.

"What my brother said is so great. Fourth brother should not do stupid things!" Long Xianna blamed him.

"Please calm down, brothers!" Long Lipo said calmly, "The reason why I want to be a guide to the Tang army is to save Yanqi and the subjects of Yanqi!"

"What does this mean?" Long Jiebi said incomprehensible.

Long Xian was right and stared at Long Lipo in confusion.

"The two brothers think about it carefully. The Tang Dynasty is strong and powerful. With the strength of the Tang Dynasty, even without us as a guide, she can still capture the capital of Yanqi. What I am worried about is that if you and my brother do not help the Tang army, after the Tang army breaks the capital of Yanqi, both the Yanqi royal family and ordinary people will not escape and die. At that time, the entire Yanqi National Assembly will be destroyed, and our Long clan will be exterminated.

If you and my brothers were guides of the Tang army and let the Tang army easily capture the capital of Yanqi, after the Tang army broke through the city, they would not make things difficult for the people and would spare the Long clan. Also, if you and my brothers helped the Tang army, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty might let his brother take over the throne of the Longtuqi branch and continue to let the Long clan govern Yanqi.

No matter what, the reason why the Tang army wanted to attack our Yanqi Kingdom this time was the Longtuqi Branch. If the Longtuqi Branch had not been dependent on the Western Turks and was against the Tang Dynasty and was disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army would not have appeared!"

Hearing this, Long Jiebi and Long Xianna looked at each other and began to ponder.

"In order to avoid massacre of the Yanqi people and to preserve our tribe, we are willing to ask our two brothers to allow me to be guides of the Tang army." Long Lipo said to the two brothers in a pleading tone.

"You have to think clearly." Long Jie frowned.

"I have considered it clearly." Long Lipo straightened straight, with a serious expression and a firm tone, "I may become a sinner of Yanqi or a hero of Yanqi. The right and wrong of the country will be judged in the future. But no matter what, I am doing this for the sake of Yanqi and all the people of Yanqi."

"You have decided to do it, so I won't say anything for you. If someone in Yanqi will scold you in the future, I will stand by you!" Long Jie said earnestly.

"Think about it carefully, think what you said is reasonable, and I support you!" Long Xianna said immediately.

"Thank you two brothers!" Long Lipo bowed.

After the three brothers discussed, they returned to Li Zaigu.
