Chapter 14: Seeking Help? I am the Heavenly Khan!

These words were like a spark that ignited the blood in everyone's hearts. They looked at Li Shimin with not only surprise in their eyes, but also an indescribable excitement.

“Give the enemy a heavy blow!” As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone seemed to feel the joy of the impending victory, and their hearts were filled with excitement.

It had been a long time since they had heard such passionate words. Who could have thought that today they would hear such an inspiring oath from the emperor.

Li Shimin, the helmsman of the Tang Dynasty, seemed to be moving important pieces on the chessboard with every step he took. He knew very well that if he made a wrong move, he would lose everything.

Therefore, he would rather choose temporary patience than reckless impulse.

After all, if the investigation is not clear, sending troops will only increase the risk. At this time, a minister in the palace suddenly said jokingly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the snow in Liaodong is so heavy that it can scare away the war horses. Should we wait for a while?" Everyone laughed and the tense atmosphere eased a little.

Yes, he is no longer the impulsive King of Qin, but the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who shoulders the world. Every decision he makes affects the fate of countless people. As the saying goes, one wrong step will lead to a complete failure.

If he hadn't thoroughly investigated the truth, how could he easily let the warhorse step out of the camp? Defeat was only a small matter, but the consequences of defeat were a heavy burden that the entire Tang Dynasty could not bear.

"Your Majesty," Li Jing spoke at this time. As the military god of the Tang Dynasty, his words carried great weight. "War is not just a competition of military strength. The right time, place, and people are all indispensable." Qin Qiong nodded in agreement, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

Du Ruhui couldn't help but ask, "Where does this news come from? When will the envoy sent by Your Majesty return?" There was a hint of urgency in his words.

Li Shimin gently stroked his chin, looked deeply into the distance, and said slowly: "It's almost there, it's almost there."

At this moment, the female character beside her smiled softly. Her eyes were like autumn water, and her lips were slightly raised, full of temptation, as if this smile could dispel all worries. "Your Majesty is wise. I believe everything is under control." She whispered softly, attracting everyone's attention, and even the tense atmosphere relaxed.

"Two or three days at most, three to five days at most!"

"It won't be long before we can find out the situation in Liaodong!"

After hearing this, everyone bowed in greeting.

However, Li Shimin's thoughts were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and had already run towards the sky.

At this time, in Chang'an City, Xu Luo was sitting in a chair leisurely basking in the sun. Suddenly, the system prompt sounded like a bolt from the blue, which scared him.

He slowly opened his eyes, a smug smile on his face. "Hey, this time, my previous guess is correct!"

He counted with his fingers as he spoke, then suddenly froze, sat up straight, his fingers flying quickly, and the expression on his face changed constantly.

After a while, he muttered to himself, "I'm afraid a distinguished guest will come today!"

After saying that, he smiled, lay back in his chair again, and closed his eyes to rest.

At the same time, in the Lizheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, the Queen of the Tang Dynasty, Zhangsun Wugou, was sitting there. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyes were like autumn water, and her lips were slightly smiling. Her dignified yet seductive appearance made people dare not look directly at her.

She was conversing in a low voice with a palace maid. As the maid whispered, her breath brushed across Changsun Wugou's neck, causing her chest to rise and fall slightly, adding a bit of charm to her.

On the streets of Chang'an and inside and outside the imperial palace, different dramas were being performed in an atmosphere of bustle and tranquility.

"Is that fortune teller really as amazing as you say?" Empress Changsun asked jokingly, but her eyes were full of doting. Her doting on Princess Changle obviously surpassed her trust in the fortune teller's ability.

As soon as he finished speaking, Princess Changle nodded impatiently like a happy little bird.

"Mother, it's a pity that you didn't see it with your own eyes. Although the gentleman was young, he was steady beyond his age.

When the emperor asked him a question, he unexpectedly predicted it and asked the emperor whether it was about the matter of Baili Jiaji!

Speaking of this, Princess Changle's eyes sparkled with admiration.

Empress Changsun smiled lightly, secretly surprised. Ever since Li Shimin and Princess Changle met the street fortune teller, the father and daughter have been full of praise for him, and the atmosphere at home has changed.

Li Shimin had been so busy since he ascended the throne that he seldom smiled. Only this time, after meeting the fortune teller, he seemed to smile more. Princess Changle was even more fascinated, as if the fortune teller had cast a spell on her.

"And then?" Empress Changsun looked at her daughter, her eyes full of anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Princess Changle stood up excitedly and began to pace back and forth in front of her mother. Her waist swayed gently and her hair danced in the wind. Every step she took revealed her deep belief in the fortune teller.

Her eyes were as bright as stars, her lips were slightly raised, and even her chest rose and fell gently with her steps, full of youthful vitality and temptation.

Princess Changle had a mischievous look on her face, imitating the old scholars, pretending to twirl her nonexistent beard from time to time, and said with a hint of ridicule: "I know the general idea of ​​this matter without any calculation!"

She looked just like those old scholars who shook their heads. Her voice was low, but she deliberately prolonged it: "The urgent report must be that Jie Li came to provoke us again, and he was dawdling at the border."

As she spoke, she winked and said, "If we talk about fighting, we are not afraid of him; but if we talk about resolving it peacefully, ha, I think Jie Li is just a lot of noise but little action!"

When these words came out of Princess Changle's mouth, everyone around couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Empress Changsun looked at her and could not help but frowning her beautiful brows slightly, recalling the tense atmosphere when the urgent news came that day.

At that time, Li Shimin's anxious look was still vivid in my mind. Indeed, just as Princess Changle said, Jie Li had deployed his troops on the border, threatening the security of the frontier.

The urgent report also said that Jie Li was ambitious and was about to attack Youzhou City. That night, Li Shimin was so anxious that he tossed and turned.

At this time, Princess Changle continued her performance, describing the situation of the day with great excitement. Her movements were exaggerated, her eyes were lively, and especially her imitation of the old master was very lifelike.

As she spoke, she often showed a bit of the coquettishness of a little girl, with her eyes moving and her lips slightly parted, making people unable to help but be attracted to her.

"That fortune teller had actually seen through all of this a long time ago?" Empress Chang Sun thought to herself.

Princess Changle did not stop. Her delicate fingers seemed to be twisting her long beard as she imitated and repeated the conversation of that day.

Although some parts were exaggerated, generally speaking, she restored the situation of that day almost perfectly.
