Chapter 109 My heart is like the bright moon(1/2)
Tubo is not a big food.
Dashi is far away from the Tang Dynasty. There is a lot of land around it that can be eaten by it, and there are many tribes and small countries waiting to be beaten by it.
Even if it is so powerful that it is terrifying, if it wants to attack the Tang Dynasty, it will probably exceed its logistics supply limit.
The Tang Dynasty was never able to become the master of these trade routes outside the pass, and the logistics support was ultimately limiting.
But the Tubo people are different.
Tubo has thought about for many years and seems to have eroded the fertile soil of the Tang Dynasty little by little.
Moreover, the rise of countless empires in history confirms a fact.
A strong empire does not necessarily require countless years of accumulation. Often, after a fatal shortcoming disappears, it will suddenly soar into the sky.
Tubo people are born to have many children in harsh environments.
They were flowing on the plateau like locusts, and then they were given some true qi methods suitable for practice. Those Tang Dynasty border troops who could not defeat them would probably be beaten out.
No matter how meticulous or exquisite the calculations are, they are like dirt under the Iron Cavalry with absolute advantage.
"We found out that Xie was doing this."
Gu Liubai pressed Xie Wan on the chopping board without hesitation, "Do you think?"
"I have limited contact with things. I can just follow some people to investigate, but now it seems that someone doesn't want me to check, or wants to silence me directly, so as not to find out that I have been in contact with this matter." Qi Yu sneered, "But I have been in hiding for so many years, and I still have a question in my heart. The one who pulls the thread on me should be Changsun."
Gu Liubai nodded.
He was even more curious about the old sparrow.
Judging from the current situation, the information of this old sparrow is extremely accurate.
And depending on the situation, he should not be from the Changsun family.
"The monks of the Fallen Temple hit you with poison. Now everyone outside thinks you are dead."
Gu Liubai pondered, "Can you obey my arrangements recently and don't show up? You tell us your online people, and our people will go and investigate."
"Of course I have no problem." Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his life was saved.
He turned to look at the Hu woman Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang looked at him fiercely, gurgling.
"She said, she would go wherever he went." Gu Liubai took the initiative to explain to Pei Yunqi.
Pei Yunqi nodded silently.
It seems that in three days, my hidden secretly in Tang Dynasty will definitely have a fierce battle with this Hu woman.
I really want to peek!
Yin Shiniang glanced at Gu Liubai, "Do you have to take care of this matter to the end?"
Gu Liubai said seriously: "To the end, Xie Wan is crazy, I may not be able to guess his next action. Not only should I find him out and kill him as soon as possible, but it is best to catch Changsun's painful foot."
Yin Shiniang nodded and said, "You choose someone to help us. We are not familiar with Youzhou."
Pei Yunqi admired Yin Shiniang the most, and she almost jumped out and recommended herself as soon as possible, but she was not a local snake in Youzhou, and she thought it might be more interesting to follow Gu Liubai.
Gu Liubai pondered for a moment and said, "After going back, I will discuss with Mrs. Zou. If there is no other good manpower, I will ask Hua Linyi to help you. It is convenient for the Hua family to do things here."
"What a dog!" Pei Yunqi Bingxue was smart, but he suddenly heard Gu Liubai's implication.
The Hua family naturally acts conveniently, but how could that little girl be as reliable as Hua Cangming in doing things?
Isn’t it that I fell in love with the background of the little girl Chang’an coming back?
She came back from Chang'an and made people associate her with the fifth prince, which was too simple.
...
"We Pei family are all afraid of Changsun family, aren't you afraid?"
After changing into a carriage and taking a detour back to the inn, Pei Yunqi still admired Gu Liubai's courage.
"You are ready to fight against Changsun before you arrive in Chang'an... I didn't think Changsun is so terrible before. Now, as soon as the monks of the Degenerate View come out, I think that the weakest link in my heart is enough."
"The weakest link?" Gu Liubai was stunned, "Did you think there were not enough powerful practitioners in Changsun's family?"
Pei Yunqi was also smart, and she frowned immediately, "You mean the eighth grade in Changsun's hands, but in fact it's not just the one on the surface."
"You mean that the one on your face is naturally Yu Ruhui, the great worshiper of Changsun clan, and the number one master of Fengyushan." Gu Liubai said calmly, "But no matter what rank Changsun Wuji is, do you know that in fact, the Canglang Sword Sect in Luoyang should also be controlled by Changsun clan?"
"You said that Changsun Wuji herself may be the eighth grade, and the Canglang Sword Sect is not controlled by those from the Dongdu clan, but actually obeys the Changsun clan?" Pei Yunqi's face was slightly dark. If someone else said this to her, she would not believe it at all, but Gu Liubai said this, and she knew that the truth was very high.
Gu Liubai glanced at her and said, "Canglang Sword Sect has been the most keen sword sect in the Tang Dynasty that has been keen on finding people to compete with swords in the Tang Dynasty. In Chang'an and Luoyang, it is an alien that both humans and gods are angry. Canglang Sword Sect has also lost many good seedlings, but I have always suspected that its meaning is to help Changsun control the number of practitioners in the world."
Pei Yunqi pondered and said, "Control the number of eight-level practitioners, is this what Guo Beixi told you?"
"Troubleshoot some talented people in advance." Gu Liubai shook his head, "This is some speculation from Guo Beixi, but I think it is very likely that his departure from the pass may also be related to Changsun's family, so I did not intend to oppose them temporarily. When I arrived in Chang'an, even if there was no Xie's family matter, I would naturally have to figure out Guo Beixi's affairs."
"If you touch it, you can touch it. Changsun's hand is everywhere. You will encounter it after all." Pei Yunqi nodded and suddenly thought of a very important thing, "The poison of the Fallen Confucian, especially the poison of the seventh-grade cultivator who uses true energy to accumulate with his true energy, has been recorded in all the files since the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present. There is no medicine to solve, and there is no time to save it. Why is the poison of the Fallen Confucian monk useless to you, and you can still save people?"
"I don't know." Gu Liubai's expression became strange.
He looked at Pei Yunqi and said seriously, "Materials of the Fallen Contemporary View have never seen them, but when I saw this Fallen Contemporary View monk tonight, I felt familiar with them. As for this kind of poison, my practice since childhood and the method I came into contact with...it seems to be a restraint of this kind of poison."
Pei Yun was stunned.
After all, she was smart and instantly thought of a possibility, but she just felt that this matter had a very big relationship with Gu Shiwu, so she didn't dare to guess casually.
Gu Liubai understood her thoughts at this time. He took a deep breath and said seriously: "That might be possible that I had really met a monk in the Fallen Confucianism, but I still didn't remember anything at that time. Also, some of the methods I practiced since childhood were even specially found during my practice. This means that the Fallen Confucianism may be born as an enemy of my mother's lineage, or that after she knew that I had entered the barrier, she would definitely face the monk in this lineage one day."
Pei Yunqi was silent for a while and said, "It seems that Changsun is much stronger than I thought. There are no shortcomings. It is obvious that this shortcomings that people see are actually their best."
"The emperor has tolerated them for many years and has dealt with them for so many years."
Gu Liubai said calmly: "It's just that so many years have passed, Changsun's family has not looked like it is sunset."
"I found that your way of thinking is really interesting. When others meet the monks of the Depravity and some messy family members, they are thinking about how to deal with these people. You are good. You just want to ignore the people below and just want to beat up the Changsun family at the top." Pei Yunqi's tone seemed to be joking, but he had no intention of joking in his heart.
"I said Chang'an is the center of the storm." Gu Liubai smiled and said, "When the storm is rolling up, I don't know how many messy things will be rolled up in the wind outside and hit your face and body. Indeed, I think the best way to deal with it is to go to the person who rolled up the storm inside to settle the score."
Pei Yunqi also smiled, "The messy things outside, all the ones that came from, are counted on Changsun's head?"
"There are so many messy things, so how can I tell you clearly? I usually count on the person first. If the other party doesn't care, that's what he did. If he is afraid, the other party will naturally pick it up one by one. I find that there are still others doing things, so I will settle the score with others at that time." Gu Liubai said it for granted.
"It seems that the dog from a distant relative next to the Changsun family bit you, and you probably want to beat the Changsun family." Pei Yunqi grinned when he heard this, "No wonder the people outside the pass are afraid that they will be buried by you."
Gu Liubai said, "That's the reason. Take Xie Wan as an example. It's the same for them to replace some family members."
Pei Yunqi suddenly became serious, "According to your principles, I suddenly felt that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty might also provoke you."
"Don't care about the identity of the person you want to beat. I don't have this kind of thinking limit outside the pass." Gu Liubai smiled and said seriously: "Outside the pass, people only care about whether this person's cultivation is sixth, seventh or eighth grade, and never care about his official rank first, two, and third grade. For now, I don't think the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is much smarter than the Changsun clan."
Pei Yunqi was very satisfied.
Even for the stimulation of destroying the Nine Clans, she decided to go to the dark with Gu Liubai.
Among those royal families with the surname Li, there are indeed several who don’t like it and want to beat it.
...
Ruolifang, in a quiet room in a gambling house, a thin middle-aged man sat cross-legged in meditation, and there were many secret documents on the desk in front of him.
A young man who looked like a gambler who was very frightened and walked in, and the moment he brought the door, his temperament became completely different.
"The monk of the Fallen Temple took action to assassinate Qi Yu."
He bowed to the middle-aged man and said in a voice: "Qi Yu's identity has been found out. His former name was Qi Qianshan. A member of the missionary who was sent to Dashi that year. The Hu woman was a disciple of Tieliuzhen. She wanted to save Qi Qianshan, but she was all hit by the silver syrup Gu of the monk of the Fallen Temple."
"Don't treat Qi Qianshan's family unfairly and convey the news that this Hu woman was killed by the monk of the Fallen Temple to Tie Liuzhen."
The middle-aged man with an ordinary face said in a deep voice: "In this curtain-covering ceremony in Youzhou, the pilgrim named 'Borrowing Your Head' appeared once in the curtain-covering ceremony in Luoyang. Over the past month, all practitioners from Luoyang who came from Luoyang must find out this person."
"I understand."
"Also, Xie Wan's whereabouts must be found out."
Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed to stop giving instructions, the young man disguised as a gambler saluted again and prepared to leave.
"You have to be careful, rather than fail than be impatient and aggressive." The middle-aged man's voice came to his ears again, "Ten days ago, I had recommended you to Hongyang Villa. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be considered a registered student at Hongyang Villa. In fifteen days, I will ask you to return to Chang'an."
Young people naturally know what the Hongyang Villa means in the Tang Empire.
His body was slightly stiff.
But it was just a little stiff.
Then he took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
...
A black shadow fell in the corner of the wall behind the inn.
There are many empty carriages at the corner of the wall.
The black shadow suddenly felt something. Before he could sweep back, he heard a familiar chuckle, and then a curved black shadow fell towards him.
The black shadow reached out and found that it was a half-frozen snake.
"Zhou Lu'er..."
The black shadow looked at the snake in his hand, and felt mixed feelings in his heart, and he asked the sky speechlessly for a moment.
The 80-year-old mother was stung and the boat capsized in the gutter.
Xu Qiyingming was caught by Zhou Lu'er, a thin monkey.
"Brother Xu Qi?"
Zhou Lu'er smiled and came out of a carriage, looking at Xu Qi who was inexplicably sad.
To be continued...
