Brother Guo Xing went to find Li Shengtian, and his face was bulging.

Growing up with Ye Hua since he was a child, Brother Guo Xing was somewhat affected. He hated the things imposed on him, especially women... And those were two princesses, who were still so young, why did he run to his bed?

After sobering up, Brother Guo Xing was furious and kept asking questions, but the two of them just kept crying and felt aggrieved. Brother Guo Xing had no choice but to do anything, and he had never learned how to deal with women.

There was no way, so he could only go to Li Shengtian to ask for an explanation.

When he arrived at the Imperial Palace of Khotan, he heard very unfortunate news. After the banquet, Li Shengtian unfortunately fell down while returning to the palace to rest. He was very sick.

Famous doctors in Khotan, including several Xinglin masters from the Central Plains, went to ask the old king for pulse diagnosis and treatment.

The old king was too old. In the first few years, he was bedridden once. Although he barely recovered, the black khan invaded and he worked hard to go to the city to fight the enemy himself.

After working hard for so many days, I have already exceeded my tolerance limit.

Now that Da Zhou has made every effort to provide assistance, various new weapons have emerged, arming Khotan as solid as a sacred thing. If the two granddaughters marry Da Zhou, they will never have any worries anymore.

I felt relaxed, and the old king drank more cups, but he actually fell down.

This fall was not a big deal. Li Shengtian's years of secret disease broke out together, and it was fierce. All the imperial doctors felt it was difficult. They tried their best to rescue them. Now the palace is still busy.

Brother Guo Xing was also very scared. Although he was dissatisfied with the affairs of the two princesses, he was full of respect for Li Shengtian. This is an old hero who has fought for the rest of his life. God must bless him, and nothing can happen!

Brother Guo Xing didn't dare to raise an army to ask for punishment. There were two pitiful little princesses at home, and he didn't know how to deal with it. The boy simply ran to the workshop and hid.

Li Shengtian fell ill, for Tian, ​​it was no less than a bolt from the blue. Everyone was in panic and anxious. The people ran to the temple to pray for blessings and prayed to the Bodhisattvas to bless the old king.

Perhaps the people's prayers had a effect, and two days later, Li Shengtian finally woke up.

The first thing he did was to call his son Li Congde to the bedside.

"I'm afraid there will be no more time for my father."

When Li Congde heard this, he looked at his father's aging and haggard appearance and burst into tears. Li Shengtian slowly stretched out his hand, wiped his son's tears, and rebuked, "Why are you crying? Your father is over 60 years old. Who else in Khotan lives longer than being a father?" The old king paused and said, "I didn't dare to die before, because I was afraid that after I died, Khotan would be annexed. Now I have a clear heart."

Li Shengtian asked his son to lie beside the bed, and he whispered: "When I die, I will write to the Emperor of Great Zhou and ask for it to be attached. What do you think?"

Li Congde nodded immediately, "Father, of course I agree. Now that the Great Zhou is strong, who can we count on if we don't rely on the Great Zhou?"

"Yes, our family has the power and wealth, and it is nothing great. What's important is that the millions of creatures in Khotan cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the Black Khanate!"

Li Congdedao: "The child and his father have the same mind, but the child is worried that others may not be like this... After all, after all, the founding of Khotan has been more than a thousand years, and it has been merged into the Great Zhou Dynasty at once, and many people may not be able to obey."

Li Shengtian said: "So, for my father, I hope to marry the King of Shang. With this relationship, the Great Zhou will take good care of Khotan. My father has already inquired about it. The minister who the Emperor of the Great Zhou relied most was the champion Hou Yehua. This man had saved the King of Shang, like his father and brother. With the champion Hou, I would not suffer any loss."

As a king or a king in an extremely dangerous situation, all Li Shengtian thought about how to protect the people under his rule... As for the marriage between the two granddaughters, whether they are willing or whether they are appropriate, Li Shengtian has no time to consider. Even if it is bad, will it be worse than the destruction of the country and the family?

Li Congde knew his father's thoughts very well and agreed very much, but he had a layer of worry. Both father and son thought so, but can others be united?

After coming out of the hospital bed, Li Congde had not walked far, a young man came over. The man was named Yuchi Ban and asked Li Congde to come over. Li Congde agreed and they soon arrived at Zongzheng Temple in Khotan. Three old men sat upright, waiting for Li Congde.

The three people were named Yuchi Weide, Yuchi Baozhong, and Yuchi Lang in turn.

Yuchi is the surname of Khotan, and even the name of Khotan is likely to be the transliteration of this surname. However, Li Shengtian admired the Central Plains and changed it to the surname of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Among the royal family of Khotan, except for Li Shengtian's direct lineage, everyone else's surname is Yuchi.

Yuchi Weide, who was sitting in the middle, was Li Congde's uncle. He said calmly: "We have heard that His Majesty has feasted the ministers and told everyone that they should obey the King of Shang. What does this mean?"

Li Congde hesitated and replied: "It's not interesting. My father is grateful for the generous assistance of Dazhou, that's all!"

"Is that true?" Yuchi Weide didn't believe it.

And Yuchilang was even more direct, "Was there nothing that the Great Zhou wants for any generous assistance? What they think about is the foundation of the entire Yutian!"

Li Congde pondered: "Uncle, I'm welcome, even if Dazhou doesn't want it, can we hold on? If we don't cooperate with Dazhou, will we still have a way out?"

"What do you know?" Yuchilang knocked on the table hard and said furiously: "I just got the news that the Great Zhou pursued the method of destroying Buddhism. The entire Great Zhou temple was flattened, the land was taken back, and monks and nuns were sent to the death... If so, what's the difference between it and the Black Khan Kingdom?"

The remaining two old people nodded, "Yes, we didn't know in the past. If we knew that the Great Zhou destroyed the Buddha, we would definitely not be able to form an alliance with the Great Zhou, and we would not be able to tie life and death to them."

The three old men were heartbroken and regretted it.

Li Congde really couldn't understand, "Uncle, what can I do if the Great Zhou destroys the Buddha? They would never kill us all!"

"nonsense!"

Yuchi Weide suddenly stood up, pointed at Li Congde's nose, and angrily scolded: "I have respected Buddhism for generations, worshipped Buddha and respected Buddha, and governed the country with a kind heart of Buddhism, so that it can last for thousands of years. If you have no Buddhist teachings, it would be better to be completely wiped out!"

Faced with these three old people, Li Congde simply didn't know what to say.

At this moment, someone suddenly rushed over and whispered a few words in Li Congde's ear. He hurriedly left without caring about quarrel.

As soon as he arrived outside, Li Congde hurriedly asked if the news was true.

The sender said it again. It is said that the Black Khanate sent envoys to lobby the Uighur tribes. They said that the Black Khanate was also Uighurs, and everyone was one family.

Now the Han people have entered the Western Regions in a large number of years. Not only the Black Khanate, but also the Uighurs in Ganzhou and the Uighurs in Xizhou should all unite to fight against the Han people together.

Of course, no one would send troops just by saying a few words. The Black Khanate took out half of the treasure of the national treasury in exchange for the Uighur tribes to raise 200,000 troops, 150,000 troops to attack Khotan, and 50,000 troops to attack Guiyi Army!

These fifty thousand people were in a vast and vast way, crossing the desert from Kucha and heading straight to Khotan.

A few months ago, I defeated 50,000 people, and now I have another 150,000!

The breath above Khotan suddenly became nervous, almost to the point where it was suffocating!

"General Chen, what do you think should be done?"

Although Chen Shi is not smart enough, after all, after all, he is not a good-looking person after spending time with smart people for a long time.

"In my judgment, the Black Khanate is afraid of Khotan's strength, so he encouraged the Uighurs to send troops and use them to consume Khotan. We should do our best to defeat the Uighurs as soon as possible. After all, we don't have much time left. After the Uighurs, the Black Khanate will make a comeback!"

Li Congde nodded, "I will order now to martial law in the whole city and prepare for war immediately!"

Before his order could be conveyed, someone suddenly came to report that a team of Tubo troops were coming from the southeast towards Yutian.

Tubo has also sent troops!

Li Congde's head suddenly became big, and enemy soldiers appeared in all directions. Can Yutian stand it? He subconsciously looked at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi's face was very dark, "The situation is not good." He said in a muffled voice: "I will send a letter to Liangzhou immediately and ask for assistance. However, the distant water will not quench the near thirst. In the final analysis, it depends on ourselves. Immediately collect food and wood, and increase the reserve of tincture oil. As long as there is tincture oil, we are not afraid!"

Khotan once again entered a wartime state.

However, this time the situation was a bit abnormal, and rumors kept circulating in the city, saying that some time ago, the Buddha statues and cannons were destroyed in preparation for destroying the Buddha.

All those who believe in Buddhism will be exiled, and all monks and nuns will be executed. This is how Dazhou did in the Central Plains. Great monks will even be cooked and made candles with their fat, called Buddha fat...

The speed of rumors spread is always amazing. People don’t care at first, but again and again, people keep saying that even those who don’t believe it will inevitably be suspicious.

Chen Shi also got the news, but he was the one who knew how to deal with such things the most. Zhao Er went to look for the assassin again, and there was not even a person to discuss it in the city. What should I do?

Just when Chen Shi was in a state of turmoil, a father and son got together, Yuchi Lang and Yuchi Ban, their faces were proud.

"Father, now the city is full of thirst, and the child is 70% sure to succeed!"

Yuchilang snorted, "You are ignorant and will not take action before you are 100% sure! You are not unclear. Even other royal families are not satisfied with the destruction of the Buddha in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they are unwilling to rebel against the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"That's because they have no bones!" Yuchi Ban said bluntly: "There has been news from Hei Khan that as long as the people from the Great Zhou were driven out, they would be willing to form an alliance with Yutian and ensure that they would not invade Yutian. Moreover, they would be willing to send troops to help after joining the Great Zhou and entering the Western Regions..." Yuchi Ban said: "Father, if they really follow my uncle's idea, their family is indeed prosperous and wealthy, we can't get anything!"

Yuchilang pondered and said, "After that being said, you can't take your life into it!"

Yuchi Ban smiled and said, "Father, I have already learned about it. This time, the most amazing person in the Western Regions is Zhao Kuangyi. Chen Shi is an ordinary general, and the King of Shang is even more a furious child, so it is not worth worrying about... Father, the child has already revealed Zhao Kuangyi's movements. If the child is not wrong, Zhao Kuangyi is afraid that he will go but never return!"

"What?"

Yuchilang was furious and pointed at his son and scolded him: "Do you know what you are doing? Do you dare to carry me on your back and have an affair with Hei Sweat?"

Yuchi Ban was not afraid of his father's accusations at all, "Dad, a real man cannot eat a cauldron, so he should cook a cauldron. He is timid and he is a hero. As long as Zhao Kuangyi dies, we will be afraid of nothing!"

"What if he doesn't die?" Yuchi Lang hummed angrily: "We're done!"
