C351 Thick gift

Seeing Gao Yang handing the dagger to him, it originally meant nothing. Even what she said, there was nothing wrong with it. However, Gao Yang's gentle tone, which was clearly just a little girl, and forcefully pretended to be lovely, as well as the small action she did when Xiao Wen took the dagger left Xiao Wen completely dumbfounded.

Logically speaking, as someone who possessed great political power, Xiao Wen knew that if Gao Yang wanted to reconcile, she could definitely reconcile with him using other methods. But now, she was using such an ambiguous way to communicate with Xiao Wen. This behavior... Not to mention this kind of action, from a political point of view, Xiao Wen was also trembling with fear.

Although it was historical, there was no relationship between Princess Gao Yang and the room's love. Their love for each other was often just a show. After all, in ancient times, a woman who could marry someone she liked must have been blessed for eight lifetimes. Most of the girls, especially those from noble families, listened to the words of their parents' matchmakers and married a young master who was well-matched but didn't understand anything about the situation.

As a result, if it was purely an act of love, Xiao Wen would not feel any pressure. After all, even without Gao Yang, Fang Shoudao would still accept Tang Taizong's bestowment of marriage, marry one of his many daughters, and then live happily with the princess … Or the princess had a man outside, giving her a green hat. As for whether or not this princess was actually Gao Yang, it didn't really matter.

However, even though Xiao Wen dared to date Li Shimin, he did not have the guts to start an affair with her! When Li Shimin found out that his daughter had an intimate relationship with an envoy from a foreign country, he didn't even know how he would deal with this envoy or the relationship between the two countries in Han and Tang dynasties. However, he guessed that before he could bring sufficient benefits, before the relationship between the Tang Kingdom and the Han State had grown to a certain extent, Li Shimin would definitely not be willing to see Xiao Wen having feelings for him.

"But if that old rogue Liu Bang knows about this, he would definitely clap his hands in joy! When his ambassador went to the country, he hooked up with the princesses of other countries. Once he found out, he would surely boast in front of the other emperors. This way, I won't be able to conduct diplomatic work in the future. " Xiao Wen's thoughts were spread all over, and he suddenly thought about this problem.

In the end, he still shook his head and silently took a step back. After all, this was related to the relationship between the two countries, and also related to Xiao Wen's political achievements. He said, "Actually, the Princess doesn't need to be so courteous. You and Wan'er are sisters with A Xiang. And I was their teacher. Between Us... "He's not a stranger."

Although Shangguan Wan'er and Sun Shangxiang didn't understand what Xiao Wen meant, Gao Yang understood his meaning. There was an awkward look on her face. However, after the awkwardness faded, a trace of a disappointed mood emerged. Looking at Xiao Wen, she forced a smile and said, "It was Gao Yang who was rude just now. Please do not take offense to it, mister. "However …" She seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a while, she swallowed her words back into her stomach and said, "Anyway, take care of Wan-Er and A Xiang. If there's anything you need help with, just ask.

Then, without even looking at Xiao Wen's reaction, she directly turned to Wan'er. The current Wan'er was only a little Lolita who wasn't even 1.2m, but Gao Yang had already grown to be about 1.5m. In the ancient times, this could already be considered as tall and slender.

Looking at Wan'er who was shorter than him by a head, Gao Yang felt as if he was looking at an exquisite pillow. She bit her lips, resisted the urge to hug Wan-Er and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Wan-Er. Even though that Wu surnamed woman has always been favored and trusted by royal father, I can't do anything to her now. But there will be a day when I will avenge you. " "His words were filled with a strong sense of loyalty, just like that of a ranger.

Looking at Gao Yang, Wan'er nodded. In front of Gao Yang, Wan'er seemed to be nervous and wasn't very good at talking. After a moment of hesitation, she said: "Big Sister Gao Yang, you must be careful. Don't let me hurt you. I wouldn't have forgiven myself otherwise. "

"Sigh …" As she watched Gao Yang leave, just as she was about to leave, Sun Shangxiang suddenly caught up to her.

"A Xiang, what's wrong?" Looking at Sun Shangxiang, Gao Yang asked gently. He had met this girl while hunting at the border. After that, they only met a few times.

But Sun Shangxiang gave Gao Yang a very strange feeling. Sun Shangxiang prided herself on being a travelling adventurer, and as a result, her actions were usually free and unrestrained. When he was by her side, Gao Yang felt that he was just an ordinary person.

Without the status of a princess, there was no need to put on the airs of an annoying princess. The two of them could freely and equally communicate without being mixed with politics, power, country, and other factors.

This made Gao Yang very comfortable, and at the same time made the two of them good friends and sisters.

Looking at Gao Yang, Sun Shangxiang's eyes were filled with worry. She said to Gao Yang in a low voice: "My husband had already been assassinated twice when he came to the Tang Kingdom. In my experience, it's hard and normal. "So, I want you to help me find out what's going on behind my back."

Hearing this, Gao Yang's pupils contracted. She watched as Xiao Wen fiddled with the dagger in the shop with a puzzled expression on his face. Finally, his expression grew serious.

Seeing Gao Yang nod his head, Sun Shangxiang smiled widely. She thanked Gao Yang and turned to leave.

But just at this time, Gao Yang called out to Sun Shangxiang.

She said, "There's one thing I'm more curious about. I hope you can answer me frankly. "

"Who are the two of us!? If you have anything to say, ask away. I will tell anything I know. " Saying that, Sun Shangxiang patted his chest, where there were no signs of growth.

Therefore, Gao Yang asked: "Why did you choose such a person to be your teacher?"

Hearing this question, Sun Shangxiang suddenly thought of the nightmare where he was defeated by Guan Yu. Shame welled up in her heart, making her blush.

After hesitating for a bit, she looked at Guan Yu who was behind her and said: "That Guan Yu, had once defeated me. If I want to defeat him, I can do it with my power. That's why I became Mr. Xiao Wen's student. "

Hearing that, Gao Yang stared at Sun Shangxiang for a while. Then, she sized up the unsmiling Guan Yu in the shop.

Finally, she revealed a thoughtful expression and nodded. "I understand. I will do everything I can to help you investigate your matters. I will also arrange for people to help protect your husband. "

"Good sisters!" Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang was very happy. Immediately, she hugged Gao Yang.

At the same time, on the other side, after a discussion, Li Shimin could only barely come to a conclusion. It was very likely that Xiao Wen wanted the Han Empire and Tang Kingdom to form a military alliance. However, they had no way to know Xiao Wen's exact thoughts.

Helpless, Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, why don't we go take a look and see what this Xiao Wen has given us."

Hearing that, Li Shimin nodded. Seeing that the other ministers at the side did not object, he summoned the Inner Palace guards and had them bring everyone to check Xiao Wen's present.

Arriving at the place where the gifts were stored, Li Shimin said in shock, "This Emperor Han is helping the Emperor Song get rich from battle! This time, you're actually so generous! " The room where the gifts were stored was not only filled with Han, especially the Guandong area's local products, but also the works of art from both Song and Ming countries in the far east, as well as the wonders of the other countries in the western region. What surprised him the most was that there was actually a mirror inside, a mirror made of glass, and a mirror made of glass and used to ascend to the peak!

"This... This... Such a large mirror, my dear sirs, how much do you think it is worth? "

These military officers were not cultured people. So they looked in the mirror, though they were surprised. But when Li Shimin asked about how much this mirror was worth, they kept quiet.

I have heard that there is a state in the Western Regions called Venice," said Fang. One of them, a merchant, once gave a palm-sized mirror to a king near the marriage of a powerful country (France), to the delight of the king. It is said that in the country where mirrors are made, the little mirror costs a full three hundred thousand silvers. (It was indeed expensive when the glass mirror was first invented.) And in China, no craftsman knows how to make a mirror. Therefore, such a mirror would only sell for an even higher price. And such a large mirror... This subject can only say that it's priceless!

Upon hearing these words, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They didn't expect the Han Emperor to send them such a large mirror. Li Shimin was also very happy. He said, "I once said, you can straighten your clothes. Today, I'm afraid I have to change my mind. With glass as the mirror, the top of the formal attire is even better! "

However, he thought for a moment, hesitated, and then said to the servants by his side: "After that Xiao Wen has officially delivered the mirror, get someone to place this mirror in front of Taiji Palace's entrance. In the future, all of our beloved officials can come in and out, and we can use this mirror to straighten your clothes. "

Upon hearing these words, the officials immediately expressed their gratitude. As for Li Shimin, he received yet another wave of loyalty.
