Su Xiong was eventually escorted to the Tang Dynasty by Ju Wentai, and he also wrote an extremely sincere letter, even full of pleasing and miserable and pitiful letters, along with dozens of carts of treasures, hoping to extinguish the Tang Dynasty's anger and remove the 200,000 troops on the border!

However, as soon as the team walked out of the palace, they were stopped by someone, and they took Su Xiong back to the palace again to meet Ju Wentai!

Looking at the old man in front of him, Ju Wentai's face was extremely gloomy, and even looked at the old man with a ferocious look because of his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Are you... going to rebel?"

Ju Wentai's anger was soaring to the full value, and he could completely explode with a little bit of material! No matter how much the lord of a country saw the criminal he had just ordered to arrest, he would not feel comfortable when he saw that the criminal he had just ordered to arrest, and he would take the criminal to see him, right? What's more,... the people he sent to escort Su Xiong and the treasures were all the palace guards he had always believed that he was his confidant, but these confidants did not make any stop to the old man in front of him, and let the other party give Su Xiong, which would be a big problem!

Faced with Ju Wentai's questioning, the old man bowed slightly with a calm expression and said, "I don't dare!"

"Don't dare? Haha..." Ju Wentai smiled coldly, his face full of mocking, "I ordered Su Xiong to be escorted to the Tang Dynasty, but he was standing in front of me... disobeying the king's order in person... What else do you dare not?"

The old man was not afraid of Ju Wentai's reaction, and always maintained a look of indifferent look at the wind and clouds. He replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no other meaning. He just wanted to ask the king's previous question. After this question, if the king still wants to give Su Xiong to the Tang Dynasty, the old minister will never stop him!"

"Hmph!" Ju Wentai snorted coldly. Although he did not answer directly, he also agreed to the old man's words. In this Gaochang Kingdom, he may be the noble king, and a word can determine the life and death of thousands of people, but in this Gaochang country, he cannot cover the sky with one hand. There are still some people who are not even the king of the country who dares to touch easily, and the old man in front of him, or the family represented by the old man, is one of them!

"The king wanted to escort Suxiong to the Tang Dynasty, but because he was determined to kill the merchants of the Tang Dynasty in vain, causing the Tang Dynasty army to fall. The king hoped to hand over Suxiong and then pay some more in order to hope that the Tang Dynasty could withdraw its troops... Is the old minister said?"

Faced with the old man’s question, Ju Wentai did not answer, which was the default!

The old man nodded slightly, then his face became a little bitter, and he continued to ask with some self-deprecating question: "Have you ever thought about what kind of virtue I, Gaochang, and what strength I have to raise 200,000 troops to attack? Moreover, it has been less than a month since Suxiong killed the merchants of the Tang Dynasty. Where did the 200,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty come out?"

The old man's slightly self-deprecating question made Ju Wentai stunned and suddenly reacted.

When he received 200,000 soldiers from the Tang Dynasty on the border and wanted to conquer Gaochang, he felt that the reason given by the other party was a bit strange. For just a few dozen merchants, the Tang Dynasty dispatched 200,000 troops... It was too much of a big deal. You should know that in the business road of the Western Regions, there were more than these people who died every day!

Moreover, the entire 200,000 army is not 20,000, nor 2,000. It is impossible to complete the mobilization in a short period of time. Moreover, he was very clear about the deployment of the Tang Dynasty's troops in Yizhou and other places. These 200,000 army were definitely sent from the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty... In other words, the Tang Dynasty was completely prepared, and it was not because of the mere merchants that decided to cause trouble for Gaochang. This was just an excuse that the Tang Dynasty found to attack Gaochang!

The old man saw Ju Wentai's face change and smiled faintly, "The king must understand, right? Even if the king General Su Xiong sent to the Tang Dynasty, even if the king gave him huge wealth, there was no possibility of retreating troops in the Tang Dynasty, because what they wanted was not to avenge the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, but... the entire Gaochang, and even the entire Western Regions!"

Ju Wentai completely figured it out. He was puzzled before, how could the grain prices in Gaochang suddenly soar? He said before that these grain merchants in Gaochang are supported by the Tang Dynasty merchants. Without the support of the Tang Dynasty merchants, how could they make the grain prices more than double in less than a month?

He was previously confused by the suspected thief forces compiled by Su Xiong. He did not expect that the whole thing was controlled by the Tang Dynasty behind the scenes!

What blocks the business road, what imposes heavy taxes, what kills the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, etc. are all excuses, and the excuses of the Tang Dynasty sending troops to Gaochang!

"Bastard!" Ju Wentai shouted with anger on his face to understand everything!

"The king should just put out the thunder fire for the time being. Think carefully about how to deal with the 200,000 army of the Tang Dynasty!" The old man said with a calm expression.

Ju Wentai knew in his heart that the Tang Dynasty attacked Gaochang seemed to be nowhere to be restored, and all he could do was to choose - either surrender or die!

Facing the 200,000 army and the elite army of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't think he could withstand it. Even if he was pulled up to other countries in the Western Regions, he might not be able to fight!

"What good advice does the father-in-law have?" Ju Wentai asked the old man in front of him with a stiff expression.

That's right, the old man is Ju Wentai's wife, Yuwen Yu, the father of the Yuwen family, who was given the surname "Li" by His Majesty Li Er and was named Princess Changle. He is also the leader of the Yuwen family, the largest family in Gaochang!

Yuwen Yu just glanced at Ju Wentai's sudden change in attitude, and then said: "The only way is to unite the countries of the Western Regions, including the Turks, to resist the Tang Dynasty's troops. Unfortunately..." Yuwen Yu smiled bitterly before he finished speaking. The meaning was obvious. This only way could not be successful!

Ju Wentai also clenched his fists tightly. He knew what Yuwen Yu meant. The location of the Tang army was only a few hundred miles away from the Gaochang King City where he was now. It was obvious that the Tang Dynasty could not wait too long before attacking directly. As long as the attack began, Gaochang was unable to resist at all. Perhaps in less than half a month, the Tang Dynasty would face the royal city! In such a short time, let alone uniting the countries of the Western Regions, if there was an accident on the road, Gaochang might have destroyed the country, and the envoys he sent had not yet arrived in other countries!
