She hurriedly said,

"Grandma, don't worry, with me here, Su Chen won't make a move against the Dugu family."

You Chuhong nodded and said,

"I understand. Dugu Ce deserved to die. Alas! Who told him to provoke the Great Demon King's woman?"

Dugu Sheng stood to the side, wiping away his sweat.

He was terrified.

The Great Demon King Su Chen

That young man was none other than Su Chen, the infamous demon king of the martial arts world. He thought that if it weren't for Dugu Feng's words earlier, Dugu Sheng felt that he would have been killed like Dugu Ce.

Three days later,

Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty

In the palace,

Li Shimin stared grimly at the letter in his hand.

The Sui Dynasty did not fall apart after Yang Guang's death. In fact, Marquis Wuwei Su Chen even controlled the Sui Dynasty's border troops, and money, food, weapons and armor were continuously sent to the Sui Dynasty's border troops.

bump!

Li Shimin slammed his fist on the table in anger and roared.

"Damn it, how could Marquis Wuwei have taken control of the Sui Dynasty so quickly? It hasn't even been a month. How did Marquis Wuwei manage to do it?"

Fang Xuanling bowed to Li Shimin and said,

"Your Majesty, things have come to this point. Let's withdraw the troops. There is no possibility of unrest in the Sui Dynasty. Those generals who plotted against us have been eliminated. The Sui Dynasty will be the most powerful enemy of our Tang Dynasty in the future, even more powerful than the Turks."

Li Shimin asked with a gloomy face.

"Such a good opportunity, are we just going to let it go like this?"

Du Ruhui stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, Li Jing's army has run out of food, and the grain we have collected from various parts of the Tang Dynasty is also not much. Those aristocratic families are simply unwilling to lend us grain."

Upon hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Shimin angrily shouted, "The aristocratic families, the aristocratic families, one day we will eradicate those cancerous tumors!"

Changsun Wuji, seeing the angry Li Shimin, tried to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, we should withdraw our troops. If we do not withdraw now, and Marquis Wuwei mobilizes a large army to launch a war against the Tang Dynasty, the Tang treasury will be empty and we will have no strength to fight again."

"Withdraw your troops!"

Li Shimin also knew that things could not be ignored.

He originally wanted to conquer several states of the Sui Dynasty to establish his authority, and even wanted to reverse the impact of the reparations paid in the Turkic war.

But all of this came to nothing.

Marquis of Wuwei, Su Chen

Why hasn't Jingnian Temple killed that bastard yet?

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After seeing Li Shimin leave, Fang Xuanling and the other ministers shook their heads at each other and also departed.

The Tang Dynasty was first threatened by the Turks and forced to pay a large amount of money and grain in reparations.

Although no territory was ceded.

However, the prestige of the Tang Empire plummeted.

This war against the Sui Dynasty,

These ministers were originally strongly opposed, as the Tang Dynasty's treasury was empty and it was simply unable to launch a war.

This 200,000-strong army has exhausted the national treasury, as well as the money and provisions that were just raised.

If the small foreign states surrounding the Tang Dynasty launched a war against it, the Tang Dynasty would be powerless to respond. Without food and supplies, and without military pay, how could its army possibly fight bravely against the enemy?

Changsun Wuji glanced at the other ministers in front of him, and he thought about contacting Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen.

His sister, Changsun Wuhou, was in a very dangerous situation.

Changsun Wuji had no idea what the relationship was between his sister and the Marquis of Wuwei.

However, Li Shimin took his anger out on Changsun Wuhou because of the matter concerning the Marquis of Wuwei. Li Shimin even offered a reward at the Tianji Pavilion for the Marquis of Wuwei's life. All of this shows that his sister had a close relationship with the Marquis of Wuwei.

"Alas! Now it's impossible to even see my sister. Has Li Shimin truly become heartless towards his own family?"

The eldest son, Sun Wuji, shook his head and left the palace hall.

"Lord Changsun!"

"Lord Fang!"

As soon as Changsun Wuji left the palace hall, Fang Xuanling was waiting for him at the entrance.

Fang Xuanling said to Changsun Wuji,

"Lord Changsun, please come to my residence. I have some things I would like to discuss with you."

"can!"

Luoyang

Over the past three days,

More and more martial arts practitioners arrived, and even some Turkic martial arts practitioners came to join in the fun.

The Dugu Mansion Incident

Su Chen was very puzzled by the information Dugu Feng had gathered. The arrival of the Turks in Luoyang, and even the possible arrival of the Turkic national advisor himself, was something Su Chen couldn't understand.

"Little Feng'er, are you saying that the Turkic Grand Preceptor Bi Xuan has personally come to Luoyang?"

Dugu Feng shook her head and said,

"This time, not only has the Turkic national advisor Bi Xuan arrived, but Fu Cailin from Goryeo should also have come to Luoyang."

Chapter 323 The War Between Goryeo and Tang Dynasty: The Tang Empire in Turmoil!

Su Chen became even more confused after hearing Dugu Feng's words.

Bi Xuan of the Turks

Fu Cailin of Goryeo

How could these two people have arrived in Luoyang at the same time without prior arrangement?

No martial arts manuals or rare treasures appeared in Luoyang City, so how did two experts from other races come to Luoyang City? Was their arrival just a coincidence?

Su Chen frowned, unable to understand it at all.

He looked at Dugu Feng and shook his head; this beautiful young woman probably knew even less.

Dugu Feng saw Su Chen shaking his head at her.

She asked in confusion,

Why are you shaking your head?

Su Chen rubbed his forehead and said

"I don't understand why Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin, these two experts from different races, would arrive in Luoyang at the same time."

"This is indeed somewhat suspicious!"

"Little Feng'er, has there been any wars in the Tang Dynasty recently?"

After thinking for a moment, Dugu said to Su Chen,

"War? No, ever since the Tang Dynasty had a conflict with the Turks, the Tang Dynasty has paid a lot of money and grain to the Turks, and the Tang Dynasty has not been at war again, but..."

"But what?"

“Su Chen, I heard from my grandmother that the Tang Dynasty wanted to launch a war against the Sui Dynasty not long ago, but there has been no movement for so long. I think it may not be true.”

Su Chen smiled upon hearing this and said,

"I know that. The Tang Dynasty has deployed 200,000 troops in Jingzhou and Xiangyang, but the Tang Dynasty does not dare to launch a war."

“I have deployed 180,000 troops in Fancheng of the Sui Dynasty, and another 200,000 troops will be deployed in Fancheng within a month, making a total of nearly 400,000 Sui troops. Li Shimin should be worried that I will launch a war against the Tang Dynasty.”

Dugu Feng never expected that Su Chen would be able to command the Sui Dynasty's army.

Four hundred thousand troops?

This is half the army of the Sui Dynasty.

Has Su Chen taken control of all the armies of the Sui Dynasty? Or has Su Chen already taken control of the Sui Empire?

"Hmph, you're getting more and more powerful. Is the Great Sui Empire under your control now?"

Su Chen hugged Dugu Feng and kissed her, saying, "Of course, little Feng'er, you have to please me in the future. Maybe when I ascend the throne, I will make you a Noble Consort."

Dugu, her face flushed red, wiped her face and then cursed in shame and anger.
