"Is your prince at home?" A somewhat dark and ordinary-looking young man asked the concierge of the Lin Mansion.
"Are you... Mr. Cui?" the concierge asked in surprise. Although Cui Xiaoli hadn't been here for a long time, the clever concierge still remembered this good friend of his own prince.
"Yes, I am Cui Xiaoli. I heard that your prince is back." Cui Xiaoli has developed a spirit of spirit in the past few years, but she also looks a little older than before. Maybe she has spent the past few years.
He must be too tired. Because of the efforts of his family through some channels, he went to Lingnan to become a county magistrate. He just resigned recently. The family said it was possible for him to take a further step, but he himself did not want to be an official. When he was resting in his hometown
, after learning the news about Lin Yi's return to Beijing from Duan Zhixuan, he rushed over. It had been too long since he had seen her, and he missed her very much.
"Oh, what a coincidence. The prince left early this morning. I heard he was going to Lishan Mountain. I don't know how long it will take to come back. Master Sun and the master are at home. Do you want to go in for a visit?" the concierge said with some regret.
.
"Well, I'd better go for a visit. I'll leave an address later. Please let me know when your prince comes back." Cui Xiaoli thought about it. No matter what, the elders are here, and according to etiquette, he has to do it.
Went in to say hello.
"Don't worry, the prince will inform you as soon as possible when he comes back. Please come in." The concierge smiled and invited Cui Xiaoli into the house.
It was Su Lie's credit that Duan Zhixuan was able to get the information about Lin Yi. After all, Su Lie was born under Duan Zhixuan, so it is normal for them to have a good relationship. Especially regarding Lin Yi. The two people have reached an agreement to share information!
Because Duan Zhixuan couldn't easily return to Beijing, he found Cui Xiaoli, thinking that maybe Cui Xiaoli would want to meet Lin Yi, and then help him bring a letter to solve the problem. He also specifically told Cui Xiaoli to remember it.
Lin Yi said everything. Because usually what Lin Yi said outside the letter was more important than the letter itself. This is why he did not send a soldier back to deliver the letter.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi had just been forced to leave home by his two servants and could not find anyone for the time being, so Duan Zhixuan's matter could only be postponed. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry.
Duan Zhixuan has more important things to do now. He has assembled a team that speaks Goryeo and has sent these people to Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and other places. The two main tasks are to collect information and
It was to spread news and collect news mainly in Goguryeo. Then he went to Silla and Baekje to spread the news that Goguryeo and Japan were about to attack them from both sides, causing chaos.
But at the same time, the idea of asking for help from the Tang Dynasty, the suzerain, was also spread to the people. They believed that this could definitely advance the actions of Baekje and Silla.
Although he still doesn't know how the emperor plans to get involved, it is necessary to find a good excuse first and do the work first. Then the emperor will be able to save a lot of trouble. Anyway, Duan Zhixuan plans to nip all unfavorable factors in the bud.
, no matter what, he participated in this war, there was always nothing to do, and he was getting rusty.
And he wrote to Lin Yi, asking about things about Goguryeo and Japan. He believed that Lin Yi would be interested in participating, and that boy's smart mind might bring him unexpected surprises.
Lin Yi didn't know all this. He was leisurely soaking in the hot springs. Unfortunately, Bing'er didn't want to be with him. Really, there were no outsiders, so why were he so avoidant? Besides, he didn't want to do anything.
, I just want to chat with Bing'er, otherwise it would be too chatty alone.
"Xiao Yi, it's time for you to go out and do something, right? It will get dark if you keep soaking in it." Bing'er shouted outside. She regretted it a little. It was very comfortable to soak in the hot spring, but she had to be separated from Lin Yi.
She was unhappy, but she couldn't shamelessly hang out with Lin Yi, because there were so many people waiting around, it would be too funny.
"Come here." Lin Yi came out of the hot spring and was a little confused. Why did Bing'er seem to be more anxious than herself?
There was not much time left, so the two of them walked around the palace. Lin Yi had been observing the underground with his mental power, and tried his best to go deep into the ground, but found nothing.
This was within Lin Yi's expectation. How could it be such a coincidence that he could find the information left by his descendants as soon as he arrived!
Early the next morning, Lin Yi and Bing'er set out. This time they planned to camp at night because it was impossible to return to this dilapidated palace every day.
For two consecutive days, Lin Yi and Chang Le walked on the edge of Li Mountain. Because Lin Yi checked very carefully, they moved very slowly and had to stop and rest from time to time to allow Lin Yi to recover his mental strength.
There were only two people alone outside. Lin Yi didn't dare to use too much mental power. He would often recover after half of it was used up. Now many assassins were staring at him. He didn't want to lose his life because of his momentary mistake.
Lose.
Bing'er hummed a tune happily, and the two white horses moved forward slowly, revealing a special sense of leisure in the gentle breeze in the summer.
"Do you think we can look for it for a month?" Bing'er's little face was red from the sun, and she felt like she was filled with joy.
"Maybe...it won't work." Lin Yi hesitated and replied, because he finally discovered the difference.
"What do you mean? You found it?" Bing'er said in surprise, she thought it would take a long time.
"I don't know if that's true, but this... um..." Lin Yi didn't know how to explain it. He was surprised. He was startled at first and thought it was someone down there. After careful analysis, he realized that it was Tao.
figurines.
Dummy? What is it made for?
With doubts in his heart, Lin Yi walked in the direction of the dummy that he observed with his mental power.
Bing'er looked around, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that we went in the wrong direction. I wish I had known to come out from the east gate of Chang'an. It's a pity that we took the south gate and only found this place now. What's here?"
"Here... there are many strange human-shaped pottery figurines." Lin Yi discovered more. If he could not clearly distinguish the different materials, he might have regarded them as real people.
"Pottery figurines? They should be used for burials. Maybe you found an ancient tomb." Bing'er thought for a while and said.
"Maybe, but the status of the owner of this tomb should be very high, well, very high!" Lin Yi said with certainty. At this moment, his mental power dispersed, and he found that there were more and more pottery figurines, and he didn't even see them.
Bian'er.
"Oh? Who could that be?" Bing'er became interested and her status was very high. She was suspected to be the emperor, but which generation of emperor would it be?
"I don't know, let's take a walk and see." Lin Yi pulled the horse and walked in the direction he observed with his mental power.
The two of them didn't talk anymore. Bing'er just followed Lin Yi and didn't disturb his observation.
Until an hour later, Lin Yi sighed lightly and said: "It seems that this tomb is very big, and I haven't found the tomb yet."
"Ah? Is it that big? What's all that underground?" Bing'er was so surprised. Even an emperor's mausoleum wouldn't be built like this. How many years would it take to build such a large area?
"They are all human-shaped pottery figurines and carriages, and they are also made of copper. It's really a waste..." Although Lin Yi was surprised by such a large-scale model, he scorned this waste of resources.
The copper output of the Tang Dynasty was not large, and this person still wanted to waste so much to make bronze statues and bronze carriages. Although they looked good, what was their use? It would be better to cast them into copper coins.
Nowadays, even the bronze statues built by the common people can only be coated with a thin layer, and the same is true for the bronze statues in temples. Because this is an order issued by Li Shimin, Lin Yi feels that this is a good emperor who loves the people.
"All of them? There are pottery figurines under such a large distance?" Bing'er's eyes widened. They had traveled a long way. How much manpower and material resources were needed to complete this.
Lin also nodded.
"It's really a waste..." Bing'er frowned. She was also very frugal, but she really couldn't bear to see someone who was so extravagant in building her mausoleum.
Lin Yi nodded in agreement again, then looked into the distance and said, "Let's rest for a while. Let's go there later. It feels like the main mausoleum is there. I don't know if there will be what I want to find, but I can enjoy it.
This spectacular scene is worth the trip.”
"You mean, we want to eat above the mausoleum?" Bing'er's expression was a little tangled. Women have a natural rejection of things like mausoleums. They always feel that this place seems too close to ghosts.
"How about... let's spend another hour walking out?" Lin Yi suggested.
"Forget it, let's deal with it and eat something." Bing'er didn't want to go back and forth.
The two found a clean place, sat on the floor, and ate quietly. Lin Yi was thinking about whether his descendants would put things in such a place, while Bing'er was guessing in her mind which emperor's tomb this would be.
.
Sowa Rulu has recently strengthened its ties with Goguryeo, and has begun to reorganize its troops, especially its ships. It is also good for them to help Goguryeo send troops. Goguryeo promised a port for them to use, and there is still a lot of gold and silver as the cost of sending troops.
.But the most important thing is that if he wins, he will have a springboard to directly face the Tang Dynasty. The relationship between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty has always been bad, and they can also become allies by then.
Up to now, Su Wo Rulu has no plans to send troops to the Tang Dynasty. Facing that behemoth, he does not dare to touch it, but if he wants to do something in the future to compensate for what Lin Yi 'took', he will
Not sure anymore. It was just his intuition that told him to do this, cooperate with Goguryeo, and then have the idea of Datang. He is still young, and everything can be planned slowly!
I don’t know if the instigation effect of the people sent by Duan Zhixuan showed up. Anyway, the royal families of Silla and Baekje have been in frequent contact recently. A few days later, a team of two countries jointly sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty set out from Baekje.
Take the waterway to the Tang Dynasty.
But Goguryeo also got the news at the same time and sent out ships to intercept them.
It's just that Duan Zhixuan happened to be escorting the merchant's ship to Japan at this time.
So the fleets of the three countries met on the vast sea by coincidence!
