Li Mu frowned, showed an unhappy look, and said, "Father-in-law, if you say this, your son-in-law will be a little unhappy. The reason why I took Tianai away was that I didn't want her to get involved, and you actually counted our relationship - Father-in-law, can you ask, is Tianai really your biological daughter?"

"Of course I am my biological daughter," Zhang Xun sighed, "and my only child."

"Then the son-in-law asked another question." Li Mu's tone gradually became colder, and he said, "My father-in-law has no son. Even if you are king, the country's destiny will still be given to outsiders a hundred years later. Why should you be obsessed with this?"

Zhang Xun smiled and said, "It's really a shame, a virtuous son-in-law. I won't have many days after a hundred years." Seeing Li Mu confused, Zhang Xun explained again, "You should have heard Li Ji mention the 'Queen Bearded Guest'. He is the number one master in the world. I was already very lucky after being hit by him and did not die. In the past two years, I have become increasingly unable to do so, and the medicine I take is becoming more and more fierce. Now that the medicine is cut off, my life will be gone. I don't know how long I can live. So I must hurry up. I only have this wish in my life. I must sit on the throne before I die and experience the difficulties you said. Even if it's only one month or ten days, I will die without complaints."

"this……"

Li Mu didn't know what to say, but this person's obsession could reach this level. For a thought, he would stay dormant all his life. Although Li Mu had different positions, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​"why help him."

Li Mu tried his best to suppress this idea, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Father-in-law, although I can understand your thoughts, I am the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty and I feel that I cannot do anything arbitrarily. If you want to be the King of Gaochang, I can take risks, but you also have to take out the bargaining chips for exchange. Otherwise, the Western Turks will come over, and the things you and I will talk about will be illusions."

"This is naturally. Since I came to see you, I just have chips for you." Zhang Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "But how can I confirm that if I give you the chips, can you do what you promise me?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you actually didn't have a choice, right?"

Zhang Xun's face turned cold, as if he was about to get angry, but he calmed down in an instant and said with a wry smile, "Yes, I have no choice. Okay, I will only ask you one thing, are you sincere or false to my daughter?"

"sincere."

"That's true. I won't live long anyway. Even if you lied to me, I'll admit it."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Zhang Xun smiled, no longer worried, and said, "I am seeking Gaochang land, and the one who cannot escape is the Turks. On the Eastern Turks, I provoked Jie Li and Tuli's uncle and nephew incompatible, and on the Western Turks, I am not idle either."

Li Mu knew in his heart that Zhang Xun was going to show his trump card, and this was related to the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks, so he didn't say anything, but just looked at him.

"Do you know how Tongye Hu Khan died?"

"It is said that he was killed by his uncle."

"Yes, not right." Zhang Xun sneered, "He was killed by his uncle Mo Hedu on the surface, but in fact, he was poisoned by my killer." Seeing Li Mu showing a disbelief, Zhang Xun smiled conceitedly and said, "Don't doubt my ability. Back then, he had the ability to chase and kill the bearded guest, and almost killed him. To say a word, if I intentionally wanted to kill someone, even if he was in the palace, he might not be able to escape."

Li Mu didn't know whether this was bragging or true, but it didn't mean much to him. He just wanted to know Zhang Xun's real trump card.

"After Tongye Hu's death, Mo Hedu became the target of public criticism. The Western Turkic crossbow Bi tribe recommended Nishu as Khan. Nishu discovered that there was something strange about Tongye Hu's death. He was a cautious person and did not agree. Instead, he established Tongye Hu's son, Yanli, to compete with Mo Hedu. Due to the internal strife in the Western Turks, the countries in the Western Regions and the nine surnames of Tiele rebelled one after another. My people took the opportunity to get involved in Tiele's surname, married the daughter of Tiele's chief, and occupied an important position."

"Later, with the help of Nishu, Siye Hu defeated Mo Hedu and became the co-lord of the Western Turks. He continued to recruit the nine surnames of Tiele. My people took the lead in joining Siye Hu, gained his trust, and then provoked him, causing him to have conflicts with the hero Yili Xiao Khan who recruited Tiele. Yili Xiao Khan was killed by Siye Hu, and the whole family was not spared, and his clan was also given Tiele. This action aroused the dissatisfaction of many Western Turks tribes. Nishu felt that the disaster was coming, so he fled to Yanqi."

"My people took advantage of the pedal of the Tielle Jiu surname to gradually penetrate the Western Turkic divisions. After more than a year of planning, they finally selected the Shibeida cadres and the Bibi division as their main targets. Now my people have controlled these two groups-"

"Wait a minute." Li Mu interrupted and asked, "Can you ask, how many people are there in these two people?"

“It’s about 20,000 in total.”

"Twenty thousand?" Li Mu frowned and said, "Did my father-in-law exaggerate it? If there are 20,000 people, what are you asking me to do?"

Zhang Xun smiled and said, "The virtuous son-in-law may have been misunderstood. The so-called controlling these two men is in the name of Nishu. These two chiefs are not fools, so how could they obey the orders of outsiders? My people pretended to be the messengers sent by Nishu in order to welcome Nishu back to the Western Turks. These two men will be used by me. Do you understand this explanation?"

"Well," Li Mu understood after saying this. It turned out that Zhang Xun was using scams and doing meticulous work. He united the people within the Western Turks who opposed Siyehu and used the power of others for his own use. To make this power be used, a necessary condition is needed, that is, the cooperation of Nishu. Now Nishu is in his own hands, so he naturally has something to ask for himself.

Zhang Xun continued, "I have received the news that Siye Hu is now ignorant of the news that these two people are reborn, so he must be unprepared. The pioneer of this Eastern Expedition was Nishu's tribe, with about ten thousand people. The total number of Western Turkic troops was only 100,000. We have already mastered more than 30,000. Even if the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses were not attacked suddenly, they would still be 80,000 against 70,000. If you were surprised, you might not be able to use the Tang Dynasty soldiers. As long as you kill Siye Hu and let Nishu show up, you can make up your major events with Nishu's prestige in the Western Turkic."

After hearing this, Li Mu also felt that this matter was feasible, but if he gave Gaochang to Zhang Xun, he still couldn't do it. Because this matter involved two very sensitive things. First, he was not qualified to be the king, and only Li Shimin had the qualification. Furthermore, Zhang Xun was his father-in-law, who conquered Gaochang, killed so many people, and finally made his father-in-law the King of Gaochang. This matter was unreasonable!
