As soon as Li Xueyan left, Qin Mubai sent a fine fast horse to Lanzhou without hesitation, and informed Li Daozong.
For the first time in his life, he did such things as "betrayal" and "betrayal" so rightly and cleanly.
"Don't have such a brain-dead! When the two countries are fighting, you and a woman will change the overall situation with wishful thinking? No way!" Qin Mubai thought very clearly, "Although I don't hate you Li Xueyan, but In the face of this kind of big right and wrong, even if you replace Li Xueyan today with Chen Yan, Wu Meiniang, Princess Gao Yang or even my mother and younger sister, it will be the same result!"
"No one can stop the wheel of history from advancing!"
"No one can stop me from fighting Qin Mubai and Garqin to the death!"
"No one can wipe out the blood feud in my heart and destroy the ambition of an empire!"
"No one!..."
At dawn the next day, the army began to train soldiers and horses in the large barracks, and the majestic roars were like mountains and tsunamis, so that no one could sleep at ease. The princess Wencheng Li Xueyan who was already worried was naturally no exception.
Ruoda’s military account was allocated to the three women to live in. The two Tantai sisters were sitting on the couch and wiping their swords, chatting with each other, Li Xueyan couldn't talk, and felt lonely.
"You two, can you go out and have a look, does Marshal Qin have free time to come over to Xiaoxu?" Li Xueyan said.
The two Tantai sisters glanced at each other and said: "Princess, the marshal is in the military camp. Feibi is in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the past. I am afraid that the military affairs are busy.
"It's also..." Li Xueyan smiled bitterly, feeling ashamed and lonely, and said, "Two dear sisters, you guys speak bluntly. Do you also think that I am annoying and ignorant of current affairs?"
"This..." The sisters were startled together, and said, "The princess should not say that. As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions and must not be forced. The princess's aspirations are actually quite admirable..."
Listening to the pale and feeble praise from the Tantai sisters, Li Xueyan's heart became more painful.
At this moment, Qin Mubai's voice rang out of the account, asking the soldiers outside the account, "Did the princess get up, did she wait for you last night?"
"Mu Bai, I'm up, come in quickly!" Li Xueyan called out almost without thinking.
As soon as I finished shouting, my face flushed to the base of my neck, and the Tantai sisters looked at her with meaningful smiles.
Qin Mubai pushed into the account, Li Xueyan sorted out his thoughts and smiled: "The marshal is busy with military affairs, so how can I have time to see me?"
"It's not particularly busy." Qin Mubai smiled to himself and looked around, "Are you still used to living?"
"Young Marshal Lao is thinking about it, everything is okay. It's really troublesome." Li Xueyan murmured carefully.
The Tantai sisters were very witty and found an excuse to leave Qin and Li alone.
"Princess, I thought about it all night yesterday. I think it is necessary to persuade you one last time." Qin Mubai said, "As the saying goes,'the general trend' cannot be reversed by humans. You think that your wishful thinking can stop the big Is there a collision between the two empires of Tang and Tubo?"
"Actually, I have thought about these..." Li Xueyan nodded gently, and said, "I know I am a bit manipulative as a car. But if I don't try it, I really can't give up. My heart is strongest. His wish is to have two fewer wars and fewer deaths."
"Do you know, what is the meaning of war?" Qin Mubai said.
"..." Li Xueyan was startled, and said, "The struggle for interests? The repetition of admiration or hatred?"
"Neither." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and said, "Sima Law says,'You can kill by killing, and you can kill.' The implication is that the real purpose of war is to quell war. To prevent more wars from breaking out."
"Isn't this a contradiction?" Li Xueyan said blankly, "War always kills people and bloodshed."
Qin Mubai was not in a hurry, and still said gently, "Although you are brilliant, but you are still young, it is normal for you to not understand these principles. Have you ever thought that even if you successfully marry Tubo for the two countries There has been 30 to 50 years of peace, but after 30 to 50, what will happen?"
"..." Li Xueyan was speechless again.
"If you can't think of it, I will tell you." Qin Mubai said, "There is an old saying, although extreme but not unreasonable-it is not my race, and their hearts must be different. The Tubo people live on the plateau, always They salivate for the rich and stable Central Plains. Their purpose of launching war is simple, clear and primitive, and it is for profit. To put it more bluntly, for the sake of money, cattle, sheep and women. From the current standpoint, use you as a cultural success. The princess adds some gold, silver and silk in exchange for the imaginary peace of the Tang Dynasty for 30 years. It is quite cost-effective. However, the contradiction and opposition between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is like the relationship between the same mountain and two tigers, which is irreconcilable. It is thirty or fifty years later that war will still break out. Moreover, if it breaks out again in a total of thirty to fifty years, it will only be more tragic than it is now. Moreover, no one can guarantee whether Datang will be like today in thirty to fifty years. Prosperity and strength, whether they have the ability to compete with Tubo again."
Li Xueyan stared at Qin Mubai with wide eyes, without blinking.
Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and said: "These similar things, when I visited your father in Chang'an earlier, I talked about it. I said that at the beginning, and today I still think that- —To eliminate the contradiction between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, the only effective way is to completely conquer and integrate them. War and peace constitute history and promote history. This is an established law throughout the ages, and no one can change peace. Stop it. Hugh said it's you a princess, even if it's the current saint, he can't stop the war from happening. I advise you to think clearly."
"..." Li Xueyan fell into silence. After a long time, she said, "Thank you, Mu Bai. I know you are for my good. But... please forgive my waywardness and stubbornness, or stupidity and ignorance. Current affairs, I really...decided it! Xueyan’s female stream is trivial, even if I die, what is the pity? If I don’t try it, I will regret it for life!"
"Well then!" Qin Mubai was not angry, or even in the mood to be angry with her, just smiled and said, "Since you have talked to this point, I am also the duty, and I have to do business. Public."
"Please tell me..." Li Xueyan looked at Qin Mubai a little hesitantly, her heartbeat speeding up. Although she expected this situation to happen, she was really afraid to say some unfeeling words from Qin Mubai's mouth. Even she herself is very contradictory, knowing that this will cause Qin Mubai's disgust and deviation, but can't help but do these things... She has never insulted or even cursed herself once-"Could it be that I Are you really jealous of Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang, or is it just a "cheap" character?"
"Princess, listen carefully." Qin Mubai said almost expressionlessly, "Originally out of duty, the two armies are facing each other. I, the coach, can never let anyone go to the enemy camp. This is for the security of military secrets. You can definitely understand this."
"Well... don't worry about this, I will never do anything to collude with the enemy and betray the country."
"But now that you are so determined, for the sake of acquaintance, I have no choice but to perfect you." Qin Mubai said with a stern look, "Choose a day, I will send you a horse, and you will go to the Tubo military camp yourself. Right! Yes, you can only be alone, without any entourage, maidservant, or dowry. If you go, you can only represent you Li Xueyan. Neither can represent the army of Guanxi nor have the right to represent the Tang Empire, let alone a literary achievement. Princess. You must think clearly about this."
Li Xueyan's face gradually turned pale, her teeth biting her lips tightly, she dared not look directly at Qin Mubai anymore, lowered her head, and nodded gently.
"Okay, I'm finished." Qin Mubai sighed lightly, "Finally, from the face of the lord, I won't be afraid to persuade you again, think twice before acting-goodbye!"
"Wait!" Li Xueyan suddenly said, calling Qin Mubai to a stop.
"What else is the princess?"
"..." Li Xueyan stepped forward two steps to Qin Mubai, raised her head slightly and looked at him, and said, "As the saying goes, different ways are not conspiring, but I don’t know the current affairs and are self-willed. A lot of trouble, sorry!"
"Forget it!" Qin Mubai smiled slightly indifferently, "everyone has aspirations."
"Mu Bai...This difference, we may never see each other again." Li Xueyan stopped talking.
Qin Mubai wanted to laugh and cry without tears, "His Royal Highness, what do you want to say?"
"It's nothing..." Li Xueyan turned her head and whispered, "I really like listening to you playing the pipa, especially the song "Hope for a Long Time"..."
"I have a chance in the future, let's talk about it!" Qin Mubai bowed his hand, "I still have military affairs, so I will leave first!"
Qin Mubai is gone. If the big barracks were empty and quiet, Li Xueyan could almost hear her breathing.
"Am I really wrong?"
"Why, I live so painful, hesitated, and dilemma?"
"Why, my ideal is so remote, I can't follow the person I like?"
"Is I too stupid, or is fate too tricky?..."
Qin Mubai, who walked out of the tent, also sighed to himself. Looking back at the military tent, Li Xueyan's figure was faintly revealed from the tent that drifted away in the wind. Between light and dark, she could see the hesitation and confusion on her face, as well as a trace of sadness and sadness on her face.
Qin Mubai shook his head, smiled helplessly, and thought to himself: Li Xueyan, if you are just a simple and good girl, you would be a good woman. Unfortunately, you are too thoughtful. There is nothing wrong with this originally, but it is a pity that these ideals of yours are too "idealized", that is ignorance of current affairs and whimsical. But you say that you love selflessness and kindness, and you can also say that you are so stupid and unreasonable... But no matter what, I will still respect you. What you want to do, I will not stop; prerequisite you, don't hinder me!
