Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 528 Tang Jian's Vigilance

An Xiuren felt that he was very lucky to have such a task of appease Turkic Khan. Even though he was going deep into the enemy's camp, the opponent had already shown a clear intention to surrender, so he would never run into any danger, and on the contrary, he was likely to be well received.

Not only is there no risk, but you also have to be served with delicious food and drinks, and you can earn a share of credit after you go back. I didn't expect such a beautiful thing to happen in the world.

An Xiuren was riding on the horse, and couldn't help humming a few out-of-key tunes softly.

In stark contrast is Tang Jian. This guy always likes to think too much, and he also has a serious expression at this moment.

"Old Tang, why do you have such a good job and still look sad?" An Xiuren joked.

"A good job?" Tang Jian repeated, and said slowly, "I'm afraid not necessarily."

An Xiuren knew Tang Jian's temper, he just thought he was overthinking and didn't take it seriously, so he just smiled and passed.

Seeing this, Tang Jian didn't say anything more.

It was a bit embarrassing to say it, but the reason why he felt that something was wrong was mainly because of Li Shimin's verbal order: capture Xieli alive.

It is clear that Jieli has chosen to surrender, and I am afraid that he will go to Chang'an in person in the near future, so why use the word "capture alive"?

This made Tang Jian a little vigilant.

He was right to be wary.

The troops of Li Jing and Li Ji met at Baidao as expected. The two sat around in the military tent, one of them was holding a piece of dry and hard dry food biscuit, and it was rustling, and the crumbs of the biscuit fell on the map in front of them from time to time. They didn't bother to reach out and dial it.

"Mao Gong, what do you think Jie Li intends this time?" Li Jing asked casually.

Li Ji didn't answer immediately, but slowly ate all the cakes in his hand, and then said: "He said he would surrender, what else could he plan?"

Li Jing glanced at Li Ji flickeringly, as if he wanted to see what Li Ji meant by this sentence, but Li Ji's expression did not reveal much information.

Li Jing put down half a piece of cake in his hand, didn't bother to linger and test, and said directly: "Although Jieli has been defeated now, he still has 20,000 horses in his hand. If he escapes to Mobei and attaches himself to Xue Yantuo, then think again." It's going to be hard to catch him."

"It's winter now, and his horse doesn't even have grass to eat, so how can he travel long distances?" Li Ji said lightly.

At this point, Li Jing understood: Li Ji also fully understood the reason for Xieli's surrender, but this guy was used to playing charades and refused to reveal it.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to capture Ashina Doubi alive." Li Jing slowly threw out his cards.

Li Ji's expression changed slightly, as if he relaxed a little. It wasn't the first day he knew Li Jing, and he knew that the other party would not make up nonsense about such a matter to deceive him.

He also knew that if Xieli escaped, there would be endless troubles, but Xieli was asking for peace at this time after all, if His Majesty did not show his attitude, he would not act rashly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, he will have to bear the consequences.

Therefore, when Li Jing was probing just now, he chose to be vague.

However, since Li Jing has His Majesty's oral order in hand, the situation is different.

"What do you want?" This time, Li Ji asked Li Jing instead.
