Chapter 177 The Princess Arrives

"Protector, what happened?" Seeing Li Gong's face changed, Liu Qi thought he was a cannibal and had some action, so he immediately asked.

But Li Gong did not answer him, nor even looked at him, apologized to Wo Song, and hurriedly left the military camp.

"Captain Wo Song, I'm sending the prince back." Although Liu Qi was very curious about what the guard said to Li Gong, he did not dare to chase after him. He turned around and said to Wo Song.

"Okay." Wo Song nodded and agreed without any extra words, and left the barracks with him and went to the inn.

"It must be a major event in the Central Plains, so the Protector left in such a hurry." On the way back, Liu Qi explained for Li Gong again.

"It should be that." Wo Song also felt that it was another big incident in the Central Plains. If it were the military situation of Dashi, Li Gong would not leave without an explanation.

"But what happened in the Central Plains to make Dugu so anxious? Could it be that the new emperor had an accident?" Wo Song guessed.

Liu Qi made a fucking haha, but he didn't respond. Wo Song is the prince of the foreigner. No one would care about him if he said something out of place. He dared not say such things.

Wo Song also knew that he had made a mistake and did not say anything again. Under Liu Qi's escort, he returned to the inn and bid farewell in front of the door.

As soon as Kewosong stepped into the gate of the inn, he whispered to the guards: "Go and check why King Feng Li Gong was so disobedient."

"Sir, what do you think happened?" On the other hand, Liu Qi asked Cen Shen, who had just accompanied Li Gong, to be precise, to be precise, to Cen Shen, who accompanied Wo Song to the military camp to watch martial arts performance.

"It's not easy to guess. But, look at the expression of Dupu, it's not like a business, but like a private matter." Cen Shen said softly.

"Private affairs?" Liu Qi said in a puzzled tone. He could not even guess what business matters would be, and he could not even guess what private affairs would be. What's more, "What private affairs would be for the Protector? Could it be that his wife and children who stayed in Chang'an, the capital were captured by the rebels?"

"How can I know?" Cen Shen shook his head and said, "I never know the private affairs of the Protector."

"Forget it, I won't think about this. If it's about Anxi, the Protector will say it sooner or later; if there's nothing to do with Anxi, it's nothing to know." Liu Qi threw this out of his mind and asked Cen Shen again: "Sir, Mr., the teacher chatted with Wo Song these days, can we find out why Dabolu sent troops to assist Anxi?"

"The details were not found out, but Wo Song seemed to believe that the Tang Dynasty could repel Dashi, at least defend Zhucheng and Yuluzhou in the southeast of Tianshan. Perhaps because Luo Duo also believed that the Tang Dynasty could repel Dashi, he sent a thousand soldiers to help him in time." Cen Shen thought for a while and replied.

"If this is true, that's a good thing." Liu Qi smiled.

"Sir, please continue to talk to Woson today," he said again.

"What else can I do to give it to me?" Cen Shen also said with a smile.

"You can't hide anything from your sir." Liu Qi first praised Cen Shen, and then said seriously: "The Protector and the students want the Mr. Wo Song to persuade the instructor Dayi to preach the righteousness to the Dabolu soldiers."

"Why do you need to do this?" Cen Shen asked in confusion.

"Sir, for now, the PR and the students do not trust Dabolu people very much. They want the instructor Dayi to tell them how cruel the great cannibals are, so that they hate the great cannibals, and they are unwilling to surrender, and they will not betray them."

"Secondly, since the Dabolu soldiers also want to fight street battles side by side with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, it will also be beneficial to street battles to enhance their dislike for the great cannibals."

"This is also said. OK, then I'll try it out." Cen Shen agreed to Liu Qi's request.

"Thank you, sir!" Liu Qi saluted again.

"Your etiquette has regressed again, and this etiquette should not be done like this." Cen Shen first demonstrated the correct etiquette to him, and then sighed: "Because the great cannibal attacked Anxi, although you have a high position and a powerful position, you are inevitably neglected in literature, calligraphy, etiquette, etc.."

"After repelling the Great Food in the future, most of the soldiers from Anxi will be transferred back to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion; if the rebellion of the Central Plains has stopped at that time, you will probably be transferred back to the Central Plains to be an official, and it would be fine if the person next to you is wrong. It is easy to offend people and be unfavorable to your official position in the Central Plains."

'Why do I have to go to Central Plains? What's wrong with staying in Anxi?' Liu Qi said in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud, just agreed.

They said a few more words and had already arrived at the gate of the government. Liu Qi and Cen Shen bid farewell to him and walked in to continue the work. Cen Shen returned to his residence and prepared to talk to Wo Song in the afternoon.

...

...

Not to mention that Liu Qi went back to do the job, Li Gong hurriedly left the military camp, turned over at the gate of the camp, and rushed towards the south of the city.

Soon, he came to the south gate of Yuluzhou City, crossed the south gate and rushed for a while, and saw a carriage protected by dozens of people. Li Gong got off the horse and walked quickly to the carriage. He was about to enter the carriage covered by the curtains, and suddenly a voice came from beside him: "Brother Feng, are you looking for me?"

"You are not in the carriage?" Li Gong heard the voice and turned his head to look at it. When he saw the woman standing next to the carriage, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted with anger.

"The car is too boring, and there are no people nearby, so why can't I get off?" the woman said.

"You dare to be stubborn!" Li Gong became even more angry. He barely calmed down his mood and asked again: "Why are you not in Kucha Town, why are you doing in Luzhou?"

"My sister was bored in Kucha Town, so she came to Kucha Town to join the emperor's brother." The woman said again.

"You!" Li Gong could no longer help but shouted: "Li Bixiao! Don't you know that Luzhou is the battlefield at this time! The big cannibal is about to fight under the city of Luzhou, and Luzhou City may also be captured by the big cannibal! In this case, if you don't stay in the safe town of Kucha, why do you come to Luzhou!"

"I..." Li Bixiao had never seen Li Gong's expression before, and she couldn't even say what she had prepared for the moment.

"Say, why are you coming to Luzhou? If you come for a very confused reason, I will lock you up immediately and put you in the cell!" Li Gong said sternly again.

"Feng, Your Highness, King Feng, I have two reasons for coming to Luzhou." Li Bixiao took a deep breath, suppressed her fear, and said in a gentle tone. But when she listened carefully, she could still hear her voice trembling a little.

"At first, I want to do my part to resist the Great Cannibal. After all, I am also a member of the Tang Dynasty. The Great Cannibal attacked the Tang Dynasty Anxi. I cannot be at ease to hide in Kucha Town and enjoy wealth, but I also have to help resist the Great Cannibal in the best of my ability, even if it is boosting morale."

"What about the second?" Li Gong said in an impatient tone. He obviously did not think this reason was reasonable.

"The second is that the generals who stayed in Kucha Town often harassed me." Li Bixiao whispered: "That man often asks to see his sister for different reasons. Even if I pushed him many times, I still ask to see him every day."

"He even sent his concubine to ask for a meeting. I was not good enough to refuse a woman's request. I've met her several times. The woman often said that her husband was so good. The general's wife has not reopened since she passed away last year. It's clear that I couldn't bear it, so I left Kucha Town and rushed to Luzhou."

After saying the second reason, Li Bixiao looked at Li Gong anxiously, afraid that he still didn't think this reason was reasonable. After all, the main responsibility of women in this era, especially those of the royal family, was marriage. Li Bixiao's approach was equivalent to offending the garrison of Kucha. The current situation in Anxi is so urgent, Li Gong may not think that her approach was right.

But unexpectedly, Li Gong's face turned cloudy when he heard the second reason, and it was not as ugly as before. And he said: "Zhang Qiqiao, the governor of Kucha, really took the courage of the bear heart and leopard! You are the princess conferred by the late emperor, and he, a little Guoyi, dares to ignore your honor as a princess! When the Battle of Luzhou is over, I will definitely deal with him heavily!"

"Brother Feng, there is no need to be like this." Li Bixiao advised instead: "Although he has a bad intention, he has never violated etiquette, and it is not easy to deal with it seriously."

"No, the majesty of the Tang Dynasty royal family cannot be desecrated! I must deal with him heavily!" Li Gong said firmly.

"Bixiao, since you came to Luzhou because of this, it's understandable. Let's settle down in Luzhou for the time being." He said again.

"Yes, thank you Brother Feng." Li Bixiao hurriedly bowed to thank him.

"Although you and I are not brothers and sisters, they are almost the same. There is no need to thank you." Li Gong responded with a smile and said, "But you can't enter the city. In another five or six days, the great cannibal will surround the city, and you can't get trapped in the city. I will place you in the Hebei camp and live in my tent."

"Thank you, Brother Feng." Li Bixiao did not refuse, but just thanked him again.

"I don't have to thank you after saying it, why do you say the word 'thank you'?" Li Gong said again.

"Yes, Brother Feng, I know."

"It's still early now. Let's go. I'll take you to Daying, Hebei, settle you down and then go back to the city."

"Then Brother Laufon has troubled me."

"You and I are brothers and sisters, so there is no need to worry." As he said, Li Gong turned over the horse, Li Bixiao walked into the carriage and pulled down the curtain, and rushed to Hebei Daying together.

‘It’s the time of emergency now, and I can’t pull out the generals back to Kucha Town; when the Battle of Luzhou is over, Zhang Qiqiao, I will definitely be in your position! Even mediocre generals like you dare to attack Li Bixiao!’ Li Gong was thinking this way on the way to Hebei Daying.

Yes, in fact, the reason why Li Gong heard Li Bixiao's second reason turned cloudy was not what he said to her; the majesty of the royal family is important and important in Anxi's current situation. It is not important or important, and Li Gong actually doesn't care much about it.

In fact, those words were said on purpose to Li Bixiao. He was too angry before and became angry. Even if he used the excuse of deep love with Li Bixiao, she would not believe it. She could only use the excuse of maintaining the majesty of the royal family.

As for the real reason, he felt that Zhang Qiqiao was too mediocre and that there was no benefit in marrying Li Bixiao to him.

As mentioned earlier, the main responsibility of a royal woman is marriage. As the arch-protector of Anxi, Li Gong is facing the pressure of a cannibal and powerful soldiers. How could he have thought of using Li Bixiao to marry him to win a general to be more loyal to him and consolidate his power?

On the contrary, from the day when Feng Changqing led his troops to leave Anxi and officially became the Great Protector of Anxi, after hearing what Li Bixiao wanted to stay, Li Gong thought about using her to consolidate his position in marriage, so he promised her to stay.

Although he and Li Bixiao came from Chang'an to Anxi, they also had some feelings, but this little feeling was far from enough to make him follow her ideas. The marriage with the cannibal has been completely ruined, and His Majesty will no longer care about Li Bixiao. Even if Li Gong decides to marry her without authorization, His Majesty will not punish him.

As for the marriage candidate, Li Gong never thought about it. He wanted to choose someone who could best consolidate his status, but he picked up from the generals left by Anxi, but none of them were very suitable. At this time, he would be put on hold.

But no matter who is selected as the marriage candidate, Li Gong would not agree to marry Li Bixiao to Zhang Qiqiao. Because the great cannibal attacked Yanluzhou with his main force, thousands of troops attacked Bodaling. At this time, the generals who could conquer and fight in Anxi were either in Yanluzhou or Bodaling. There were mediocre generals everywhere, and they were well-known mediocre generals, and Zhang Qiqiao was one of them.

Marrying Li Bixiao to such a person is not only of no benefit to him consolidating his status, but may even have a counterproductive effect. How could he be willing to do such a thing?

'But after this incident, I'd better marry Bixiao out as soon as possible. She is getting older and it's not good to keep it anymore. I'll go back and choose to leave the generals again.' Li Gong started to think about it again.

He was thinking that they had arrived at the bank of the river. In order to prevent the great cannibals from being able to divide their troops to attack Daying, Hebei when they besieged Yuluzhou City, all the bridges on the river had been demolished, so they could only leave their horses and carts on the bank and cross the river by boat.

After a while, they came to Daying, Hebei. At this time, there was some chaos in the camp. The soldiers stationed here and the young and strong people who were left behind were moved out of the city and had not been sent to several small towns gathered in the camp, making noises and messy things up. Although officials maintained order, they could only maintain a superficial stability.

Li Bixiao seemed very curious about the camp and kept looking around; but Li Gong had already become accustomed to it and walked towards the central army without looking sideways.

After arriving at the Central Army, the situation suddenly changed. The Central Army did not have temporary resettlement people, nor did they recruit young and strong men. They were all regiments with many veterans and had good discipline. Li Gong walked among them, except for the shouts from afar, and it was extremely quiet.

"These people must be elite." Li Bixiao commented.

Li Gong ignored her words, and kept walking at the slightest. He quickly walked to a larger tent, turned around and said to Li Bixiao, "This is your residence for months or even a year or two."

"This tent is a bit worse than the tent you occasionally live on Anxi Road from Chang'an, but at least you can live there."

"Why can't you stay?" Li Bixiao lifted the curtain and looked inside, and said immediately.

"But, I live in your tent, where does Brother Feng live?" she paused and asked again.

"I will stay in the city to boost morale. Don't worry, there are secret passages in the city that connect outside the city, so don't worry about me being trapped and dying in the city." Li Gong said.

"Since that's the case, my sister will be relieved." Li Bixiao patted her chest, thought of another thing, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, I can also boost morale. The soldiers can also cheer up their spirits when they hear praise or inspire the princess of the royal family."

"Okay, I'll be willing to boost your morale in the future." Li Gong just agreed with a smile, obviously not taking it seriously.
