Guangling Garden is located in Chongrenfang and is the first theater in Chang'an. When the two of them arrived outside the garden in a carriage, it was already the middle of Youshi.
Due to the curfew, the scenes at this point were already the last few. Usually there would be a big scene at the end of every day. Wu Chengsi guessed that this was the scene Li Zhiying wanted to watch.
Entering the lobby of the park, the two of them asked for a private room on the second floor to watch. Generally speaking, the closer you are to the theater, the more interesting it is, and people who love theater usually like to sit in the front.
But Wu Chengsi didn't particularly like listening to operas, and Li Zhiying didn't like to show her face, so the two of them sat on a balcony on the second floor to watch.
The song "Xue Rengui's Three Arrows Set the Sky Mountain" was being sung on the stage below.
The operas of the Tang Dynasty mainly told some simple stories in the form of songs and dances, especially the stories of Tang army generals winning battles, which were most popular among the people.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Li Zhiying suddenly pointed down and said: "Wu Lang, look, it's your cousin."
Wu Chengsi followed the direction she pointed and found that Princess Taiping was indeed sitting at the front seat of the stage. There was another person sitting next to her, a brave-looking woman.
The woman had a deep impression in the original owner's mind. She was the tigress Cheng Caiyi who made all the young men in the capital frightened.
When Wu Chengsi saw this woman beside him, he did not go down to say hello.
At this moment, Han Cheng suddenly walked in, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Ashide Yanran and Ashina Fu want to see you."
Wu Chengsi glanced at Li Zhiying, saw her smiling and nodding, and said, "Let them in."
After a while, Yanran and Fu Nian entered the private room together. Ashide Yanran had already changed into a Tang Dynasty dress and said with a smile: "General Wu, thank you for what happened last time."
Fu Nian cupped his hands and said, "I have met Zhou Guogong."
"You two don't need to be polite, are you still having fun in Chang'an?" Wu Chengsi said, motioning for the two of them to sit down.
Yanran smiled and said: "Chang'an is much more fun than Turks. I really want to live here."
Wu Chengsi glanced at Fu Nian, smiled and said, "Then you can just stay here forever."
Yanran shook her head and said: "How can it be possible? We can't always live at my sister's house."
"That's easy too. As long as little Prince Fu Nian serves our court like General Russell, won't you be able to live in Chang'an forever?"
Yanran asked in surprise: "Is it possible? But Fu Nian doesn't know anything and is inferior to Agahu in every aspect. Can he also become a general of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Of course." Wu Chengsi said with a smile: "As long as you are willing, you can let Prince Fu Nian come to serve in our Zuo Wu Army."
Yanran urged: "Fu Nian, it's rare that General Wu thinks highly of you, please agree quickly!"
Fu Nian frowned and said, "But..."
"It's no big deal. If you don't agree, I won't play with you!" Yan Ran said angrily.
Wu Chengsi said: "Prince Fu Nian, Miss Yanran, this matter is not a trivial matter after all. You can discuss it carefully after you return home."
Fu Nian said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Mr. Wu."
Yanran snorted and looked down. Suddenly, she let out a light sigh and asked strangely: "Why is that guy here?"
Fu Nian said: "Yanran, who are you talking about?"
"That's that guy. Look, he's the guy we met in Khitan. I remember he was with Oga Longgu at the time." Yanran pointed in the direction below.
"Ah, it's really him!" Fu Nian said in shock.
Wu Chengsi's heart moved when he heard Oga Longgu's name.
He had always had doubts about Oga Longgu's killing of Li Jinzhong, and Oga Longgu's troops also mysteriously disappeared, with no whereabouts to date, so he immediately looked in the direction Yanran was pointing.
I saw it was a young man wearing agate earrings.
"Han Cheng, go find out who that person is." Wu Chengsi ordered, and then asked Yanran about the situation when she met the person below.
Soon, Han Cheng came back and said: "Master, that person is Chidu Chizan, the prince of Tibet."
Wu Chengsi was shocked, he turned out to be a Tibetan!
What were they doing in the Khitan territory? Could Longgu’s disappearance be related to him?
Wu Chengsi vaguely felt that there must be some conspiracy involved.
Soon, Yanran and Fu Nian resigned. After the song was sung, the owner of Guangling Garden came on stage and said: "Welcome all guests to join us. The next show is a new play just released by our garden, called "Wu Chengsi's Ten Thousand Riders Destroy the Khitans"
》.”
Wu Chengsi, who was drinking tea, spit out a mouthful of tea. Li Zhiying on the side covered her mouth and smiled: "You don't have to be so happy, right?"
"How... are you happy? Ahem... how come they... didn't say anything to me... and just sang my story into a song?" Wu Chengsi kept coughing.
Li Zhiying stroked his back and said with a smile: "This is a good thing. They helped you become famous. If you don't thank them, why should you blame them?"
At the front left of the stage, the Tibetan prince Chidu Chizan saw that the Tang Dynasty compiled the story of Wu Chengsi into a drama, and sneered: "Huh, it's really ridiculous. If I hadn't convinced Dahe Longgu to kill Li Jinzhong, that brat Wu Chengsi
Where can we destroy the Khitans?"
After speaking, he glanced at a man wearing a white robe next to him.
The man was surprised and asked: "Is it possible that Prince Chidu was also involved in this matter?"
Chidu Chizan enjoyed the surprised expression of the white-robed man very much and said with a smile: "That's natural. In fact, I, the Great Tubo, have been preparing for the future war with the Tang Dynasty."
There were no Tang people nearby, and he was speaking in Tubo, so he wasn't worried about anyone hearing him.
The man in white robe said respectfully in Tubo: "Your country really thinks about the long term. I wonder if I would be honored to listen to you?"
Chidu Chizan smiled and said: "This matter started when I was sent as an envoy to the Turks. From the Turks' Wenfu Khan, I learned that the Khitans were not convinced by the Tang people, so I thought of forming an alliance with the Khitans.
It's a pity that Khitan Li Jinzhong is unwilling to form an alliance with me."
The man in white robe nodded and said: "Although I am far away in the west, I have heard merchants in the western regions mention the Khitan Kingdom. I heard that they are very powerful and are the most loyal vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."
Chidu Chizan smiled and said: "They are not loyal. Later Oga Longgu took the initiative to find me."
"Oh? What does he want from you?"
"That guy does have some foresight. He is worried that the Khitans are caught between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty and will be destroyed sooner or later, so he hopes to leave an escape route for the Khitans."
The man in white robe wondered: "Your two countries are far apart, what escape route can you give him?"
Chidu Chizan narrowed his eyes and said: "He wants one Khitan tribe to move to the west. In this way, even if the remaining seven Khitan tribes are destroyed, the remaining one can still continue."
The man in white robe sighed: "It's admirable that this person has considered this for the ethnic group."
"However, if the Khitans want to move westward, they must borrow a road from the Turks. Dahe Longgu does not trust the Turks, so he hopes that I will be the guarantor."
"He believes you?" the man in white robe asked.
Chidu Chizan said proudly: "The Tubo Dynasty, the Gui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty are the three most powerful countries in the world. If he doesn't believe us, who else can he believe?"
The man in white robe smiled slightly and said, "That's true. Did you agree to him?"
Chidu Chizan smiled and said: "That is natural. But I told Dahe Longgu that we will not lend him the road until our dynasty joins forces with the Turks to attack the Tang Dynasty. At that time, he will also need to send troops to attack Anxi of the Tang Dynasty with us.
The four towns, only if we, Tubo, occupy the four towns of Anxi, can he have a foothold in the west."
The man in white robe nodded and said, "It's indeed a good plan."
Chidu Chizan added: "A few months ago, I heard from spies in Chang'an City that the Koreans had united with the Khitan people and the Baekje people secretly framed the Tang Dynasty general Su Dingfang."
"Well, I've heard about this too."
"At that time, I felt that something might happen to the Khitan, so I rushed to the Khitan. As I expected, several other Khitan tribes united to resist Li Jinzhong. I told Dahe Longgu that if the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goryeo, they would deal with the Khitan people.
, let him kill Li Jinzhong, and then we immediately attack the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty as planned."
"So that's it. It seems that Wu Chengsi was able to destroy the Khitan people thanks to the prince. Then why didn't your army attack the Tang Dynasty later?" The man in white robe said with stern eyes.
Chi Duchi said solemnly: "Actually, we have just captured Tuyuhun in Tubo and have not completely stabilized the area. It is not appropriate to launch troops immediately. However, I think that after Li Jinzhong's death, the Tang Dynasty will fight against Goryeo and Khitan at the same time, and we will unite again."
If the Turks take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack, they will have a great chance of victory."
At this point, he stopped talking.
A man with a serious face next to Chidu Chizan said: "We did not expect that the Khitans would be wiped out by the Tang people in such a short period of time."
