After leaving the imperial study, Tang Ji walked onto the palace road leading to the outer city. He walked very slowly, with his head hanging down, looking worried, and muttering in his mouth: "I must go to the northwest,
If the Dog Emperor doesn't agree, then he can only find a way to sneak out, but if things are exposed later, let alone punishment, maybe the Dog Emperor will send someone to capture him..."
Thinking of this, he became more and more irritable and raised his hand to pat his forehead.
Just at this moment, a pair of small hands quietly held his sleeves.
Tang Ji was so frightened that he quickly put away his thoughts. He bowed his head and realized that it was Li Qingmeng, followed by Li Yue. He exhaled, "Why don't you two make any sound when you walk? Do you want to scare me to death?"
Hearing this, Li Qingmeng smiled and handed him the bouquet of osmanthus flowers she held in her other hand.
Li Yue rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Master Tang, I and Jingyang have called you more than ten times just now, but you didn't hear it. What's the matter? What are you planning again? You are so absorbed in thinking!"
Tang Ji raised his head and looked around. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one nearby. He pursed his lips and looked at her. He took the sweet-scented osmanthus branch in his hand and continued, "Princess, you have a distinguished status. You should be more careful when speaking."
Good, so as not to be heard and insult the royal dignity."
"Hmph, don't lecture me with the words of the palace master of ceremonies!" Li Yue pursed her lips, crossed her arms across her chest, and hummed softly: "Brother Huang often told me that you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, and your stomach is full of bad water.
By the way, where is my book? You already owe me two issues of "Youmen Sansheng", so much so that I have to send someone out of the palace to buy it!"
"I've been too busy recently. I'll deliver it to you in two days." Tang Ji replied casually, and then asked: "Why are you two not in the Imperial College at this time and being lazy again?"
Li Qingmeng quickly shook her little head: "Master Tang, Sister Zhaoyang and I have a break today and don't have to go to class."
After saying that, she tilted her head and glanced sideways at Tang Ji, blinking her cute and lively eyes: "Master Tang, when I came out of the harem just now, I heard an adult saying that there was going to be a war. Will a lot of people die in the war?
Master Tang, do you want to attend?"
After listening to her question, Tang Ji sighed. Since ancient times, there has been no war without killing people. As for how many people die, it depends on the intensity of the war. Jiang State sent an army of 200,000 at the beginning, plus Jianghu Conference and other things, northwest
It is estimated that life will be ruined.
However, in front of this innocent little girl, he couldn't say much. He smiled and said, "If a war can bring a few years of stability and peace, then it will be worth it."
His tone sounded light, but Li Qingmeng felt a trace of sadness behind it. She lowered her head and asked softly: "Master Tang, is there no other way besides fighting?"
Tang Ji touched his chin and thought for a while, then replied: "If you don't want to fight, we can only negotiate peace. Give us some money, allocate some land, and get married if possible. This should ensure that the two of us can live together peacefully for decades."
"Marriage?" Li Qingmeng raised her head again. She had heard from her mother before that marriage usually involves marrying a princess of one country to another country. Thinking about her own identity, she shook her head nervously: "No, Jingyang doesn't want to go.
Make peace!"
Seeing her silly and sweet look, Tang Ji couldn't help but smile, and immediately said to comfort her: "Don't worry, you are still young, even if you get married, it won't be your turn."
Hearing this, Li Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief, raised her little hand and patted her chest, blinked and asked, "Then who should I ask for a kiss?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she and Tang Ji looked at Tang Ji next to them.
The latter frowned slightly and stamped his feet: "I'm not going either!"
There was a bad smile on Tang Ji's face: "I think the princess is of the right age and beautiful, and a marriage is just right. This can save all the people from the fire and water. Why don't you go and talk to your majesty?"
"You dare!" After listening to his words, Li Yue finally became nervous, staring at Tang Ji with two big eyes like crystal grapes: "You guys can't even think of bringing bad ideas to me, otherwise... otherwise we will
No one can have a good time!"
Tang Ji smiled and shook his head. According to historical records, since the founding of Ning State, foreign wars have never ended without a fight. Even if he proposed it, the Dog Emperor would not necessarily agree. Besides, if he really did this, Li Yu would
The goods might kill him first.
The three of them chatted and walked some distance away to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. When they were still some distance away from the inner city gate, Tang Ji said goodbye to the two girls. Just when he was about to leave the palace, he came towards them.
A figure called him to stop.
"Tang Ji, I heard that you want to go to the northwest?"
After listening to Tianxuan's words, Tang Ji nodded silently: "Governor Tianxuan is well versed in information."
Tianxuan, however, had no intention of joking with him. She looked solemn and asked in a low voice, "Do you have to investigate that matter?"
Tang Ji raised his lips slightly and shrugged his shoulders: "You misunderstood. I really went to the northwest just to resolve the Jianghu Conference."
Naturally, Tianxuan would not believe what he said, so she continued to walk forward, and when she passed by him, she added: "In short, don't even think about it, Northwest, I will try my best to stop you."
"No, Governor Tianxuan!" Tang Ji quickly turned around and chased after him. The possibility that the old emperor would agree to let him go to the northwest was already low. If he was disturbed by this woman again, there would be no hope at all. He quickly said: "Tianxuan
Sir, let’s discuss this further!”
Seeing that Tianxuan still didn't respond, Tang Ji blinked and thought for a moment, then continued: "Aunt Jin, you also know that since I broke into Kyoto City, I have been assassinated either by this or that. I am in urgent need of protection. This Northwest Jianghu Conference is a
I don’t want to miss this opportunity!”
Tianxuan was already stunned on the spot. She didn't listen to Tang Ji's explanation at all. Her pupils were dilated, looking a little unbelievable: "You, what did you call me?"
