Chapter 73
There are rumors in unofficial history that in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty made a northern expedition to the Turks. After the Turks were destroyed, Xiao Hou was brought back to the Tang Dynasty by the coach Li Jing, and then was raised in the outer palace by Taizong Li Shimin as a concubine.

Li Ke had already doubted this statement a lot, but after today, Li Ke felt that it was even more absurd.

Empress Xiao is over sixty years old, no matter how beautiful she was when she was young, at this age, coupled with the harsh climate of the grassland, her looks will inevitably fade. How could Li Shimin have too many unreasonable thoughts about Empress Xiao.

Moreover, after going through all kinds of hardships, Empress Xiao has a mediocre personality and has no ambition for power. Empress Xiao has a very special identity as the queen of the former dynasty.

It can be said that Li Ke has gained a lot from meeting Empress Xiao today. If he can use Empress Xiao's line to win over the Xiao family in Lanling, it will be of great help to him.

Gathering the Lanling Xiao family is to gather half of the Jiangnan family, and then he will have the capital to wrestle with the Guanlong family. There is by no means an insurmountable gap between the crown prince and the concubine.

Of course, all of this is for Li Ke himself to be worthy of Lanling Xiao's investment. A thousand-year-old family like Lanling Xiao will not bet on a worthless bastard. Seeing his own value, and he is now accumulating such value in Turkic.

Li Ke and Ashinayun left Empress Xiao's tent together, they did not go back separately, but walked forward side by side in a tacit understanding.

Since Ashinayun helped Li Ke deal with the Kang family and his son this time, the relationship between the two has eased a lot, but when the two walked together, they didn't know what to say for a while, but it seemed that there was really something It's like a thread pulling them, although they don't know why they are like this, but they have been walking a long way like this.

I don't know how long the time has passed, it seems very long, and it seems very short. It is no way to keep walking in such silence. After a while, Li Ke finally broke the silence first.

"Thank you for what happened that day." Li Ke suddenly said to Ashina Yun.

Hearing Li Ke speak first, Ashinayun's face obviously relaxed a lot. Ashinayun heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Li Ke: "This is your own ability, I just reminded you."

Li Ke said: "If you hadn't reminded me, I might have been ambushed by Kang Amu and became a dead soul under the arrow."

After hearing Li Ke's words, Ashinayun turned to look at Li Ke, as if looking at a new animal that had never been seen before, and laughed.

"You? Absolutely not. No matter how smart a wild dog is, it can't beat a cunning fox. Even without me, you can still play Kang Amu in your hands." Ashinayun seems to have an inexplicable feeling for Li Ke. Confidence in his confidence, he felt that he could always turn danger into a bargain, and as for Kang Amu, who seemed vicious, he was not Li Ke's opponent at all.

After all, can a dog, no matter how smart it is, be as cunning as a fox?

Li Ke also smiled and said, "Fox? That's better than a dead wild dog anyway, so I'll take it as your compliment."

There wasn't much misunderstanding between Li Ke and Ashinayun, plus Ashinayun was a young man who was straightforward and didn't have a grudge. The two chatted for a while as they walked, and the gap that wasn't deep at first faded away. a lot.

"Do you really have a way to bring grandma back to Datang?" Ashinayun asked curiously.

Every time Ashinayun talked to Empress Xiao, she would mention every detail of her past while talking. Ashinayun could tell that Empress Xiao was homesick.

Ashinayun and Empress Xiao are very close and have the best relationship. If Empress Xiao can really go back to her hometown to see her, Ashinayun will also be happy for her.

Li Ke nodded and said: "Of course there is a way, but it's not convenient to say it now, if it is said, it won't work."

Li Ke's appearance is mysterious, as if he really has a well-thought-out plan, and there is a certain way to succeed.

Seeing what Li Ke said, Ashina thought that it was really inconvenient for Li Ke to speak, so he stopped asking, but instead asked, "Then what about what you promised me?"

When Ashinayun said this, Li Ke immediately remembered that he had also promised Ashinayun that he would take her to visit the Tang Dynasty and see the scenery of this southern country.

Li Ke said to Ashina: "I can do what I promised you. When the time is right, take a good look at the scenery of my Tang Dynasty."

When Ashinayun was young, it was the time when she was fond of playing. When Li Ke said this, she immediately became interested.

She had heard Empress Xiao mention many scenes of the southern country, the majestic Chang'an City, the beautiful Jiangnan Water Village, the steep Shu Road, and the canals stretching thousands of miles, all of which gushed out from Ashina Yun's mouth at once.

"Also, I also want to taste the fine wines of Tang Dynasty, Jiannanchun, Langguanqing, Jiu Brewing, by the way, and the palace cakes you mentioned, I have to taste everything carefully."

Ashinayun said, as if she was about to leave for the south, and she looked eager to try.

Turkic people born in the grasslands were born curious about the rumored rich and fertile land of the Tang Dynasty, but those Turkic generals were curious about the land and women of the Tang Dynasty, while Ashinayun was curious about the scenery and food.

Li Ke replied without any response: "Okay, wait for you to think about it, and then I will take you there together."

Hearing this, Ashina clapped his hands happily and said, "Then you and I?"

Li Ke thought for a while and replied: "If you don't like crowds, we'll go together. If you like crowds, I'll take my younger brother with me. Presumably he is willing to go with me."

"You still have a younger brother?" Ashinayun asked curiously.

Li Ke nodded and replied: "Of course, but my younger brother is much younger than you, and if you count the days, you have just started to learn."

As Li Ke said, he couldn't help thinking of his younger brother who was far away in Chang'an. Now he doesn't know if he still looks at the sunset every day, looking forward to his early return.

Ashinayun has always been the youngest in the clan, but today he did not expect Li Ke to have a brother who is younger than him, so he couldn't help saying happily: "You are older than me, and you are my cousin, so he is older than me." I am young, so I am my cousin, if I have a chance in the future, I will take a good look at him."

Ashenayun said, he couldn't help looking forward to the trip to the south.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

While Li Ke and Ashinayun were talking, suddenly Li Ke's maid Dan'er led someone to find him, and seeing Li Ke standing with Ashinayun from a distance, she hurried over.

Although Dan'er was Li Ke's personal maid, when Li Ke went out, Wang Xuance and Su Dingfang mostly followed behind. It's just that Li Ke came to pay a visit to Empress Xiao today, and he didn't want to make a big show of it, so he just told Dan'er about his own arrangement, and followed Ashinayun came here, and Dan'er came to find this matter in person, presumably it must be something important.

Li Ke waited for Dan'er to come to him, and asked, "You came in such a hurry, but you have something important to do?"

Dan'er nodded, and panting, he replied: "Your Majesty sent the Tang envoy here, and now he has arrived at Khan Court."

 Thanks to the book friends who know how to give up, haha, knowing how to give up is also an old reader who is sincere. It used to be called knowing how to give up, but today it is finally called right.
