"Husband, I am sorry for you..."
Li Mingxue's expression was gloomy, and the sockets of her eyes turned slightly red.
But at this moment, Ning Chen suddenly laughed!
Then he suddenly stretched out his hands, and in the blink of an eye, he was hugged from Her Highness the Princess into his arms!
"lady!"
"I want to thank you very much for my husband...!"
Ning Chen laughed out loud, the laughter was so hearty!
"This king's concubine is already pregnant...!"
Li Mingxue: "???"
Her Royal Highness was stunned, covering her red lips with her hands in shock, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
And Ning Chen who held her in his arms.
He already held her pretty face with both hands, and kissed her forehead lightly...
"Madam, thank you..."

Chapter 569 The rulers of the countries in the Western Regions staged a series of palace fights...
Datang Zhenguan three years, early March.
As the temperature gradually rises, the ice and snow in the Western Region, which was originally frozen for thousands of miles, is gradually melting.
When the ice and snow all over the sky dissipated.
Looking up, what is left is the vast expanse of yellow sand and desert...
The capital of the Western Turkic kings, Wood City.
It is now March, the weather is warm and the spring breeze is pleasant.
For previous years.
This royal capital of the Western Turks has long been filled with merchants and merchants, making it extremely prosperous and prosperous.
But this year, the situation is quite different!
There was no one on the relatively flat and wide street.
Dust and yellow sand covered the streets, and there was silence in all directions, as if it were an empty city!
Once bustling shops.
They also closed their doors one by one, and the plaques made of Populus euphratica slammed with the strong wind.
empty city...
More than two months after the salt and iron embargo.
The countries in the Western Regions were finally overwhelmed and plunged into a lifeless abyss...!
There is no one in the city.
It's just that due to the lack of salt, ordinary people in the Western Regions are already weak in limbs and unable to move...
Even the soldiers of the Western Regions.
Also due to the lack of salt supplements, his physical strength and combat effectiveness were severely reduced, and he couldn't even lift a spear and a sword...!
The countries of the Western Regions are abolished...
In the Western Turkic Palace, Tong Yehu, who is the Khan of the Western Turkic Khan, is kneeling in front of an altar, worshiping devoutly.
Above the altar, the gods of these grassland tribes are enshrined.
Longevity!
Now that things have happened, Tong Yehu seems to have no other choice but to pray to the gods!
Originally, he wanted to unite with other countries in the Western Regions.
Form a coalition together, and head-to-head with the Tang Empire, in order to break the blockade on three sides of the Tang Dynasty!
but!
That's just wishful thinking for him to control Ye Hu...!
During the secret meeting of the leaders of the countries in the Western Regions in Jialan City.
The king of Khotan repeatedly tried to draw his sword to kill Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang.
And Qu Wentai.
He also wanted to draw his sword and chop off the Lord Yanqi who had always had a feud with him!
As for the Lord of Kucha.
It is the two eyeballs, which have been staring at him and Ye Hu from time to time.
It's like looking for an opportunity.
For his own son, it's like avenging the Western Turks...!
after all.
In the turmoil that lasted for nearly a year.
He was the eldest son of the King of Kucha, but he was thrown into a sack by Mo Hedu, the usurper of the Western Turks, and trampled to death with a horse...!
Deep hatred!
It can be said that there is a deep hatred between the countries in the Western Regions that is difficult to reconcile!
"Ugh……"
Thinking of this, Tong Yehu sighed faintly, deep in his eyes, there was a strong sense of helplessness...
He was the Khan of the Western Turks.
Although I can still eat a little salt now, it is the kind of rough and hard to swallow salt!
Naturally, it cannot be compared with the rich clothes and fine food of the past.
As for the current situation of the countries in the Western Regions.
He is also very clear, but even if he is clear, what is the use...?
Li Jing, Li Shiji, Hou Junji.
These three generals of the Great Tang Empire, like these three invisible mountains, suppressed the entire Western Regions from the southeast to the west!
But anyone who walks on two legs.
No matter where they come from, it is absolutely impossible to enter this vast Western Region...!
Not to mention salt and iron...
"Longevity God!"
"If you can hear my worship and prayer, please use your power to save your believers...!"
Mo Hedu's tone was low.
When speaking, it seems that there is something in the mouth, and it is a little vague...
And at the same time.
It is in the capital of Gaochang Kingdom.
Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, is welcoming an envoy from the Tang Empire...!
Duan Feng, a member of the Ministry of Rites and Shangshu of the Great Tang Empire, Wailang!
Although Duan Feng, Yuanwailang, can only be regarded as a middle- and lower-level official in the bureaucratic system of the Tang Empire.
but.
When he walked out of Yumen Pass and went to Gaochang country as an envoy.
This Mr. Yuanwailang represents the entire Great Tang Empire...!
And the reason why he will go to Gaochang.
The reason is that Qu Wentai submitted the letter of credence to Datang in private, willing to surrender the whole country, bowing his head and proclaiming himself a vassal...!
Surrender, surrender!
The nearly three-month embargo on salt and iron has weakened Gaochang's national power to the extreme!
Many people are already seriously ill.
Qu Wentai is not a fool.
He knew that if he continued to persevere, he and his Gaochang Kingdom would be reduced to ashes!
not to mention.
If he continues to persist, he will not surrender if he is killed.
It is estimated that even without the intervention of the Tang Empire, turmoil will inevitably erupt within Gaochang!
When the time comes, he, Qu Wentai, will surely die a terrible death!
So weigh the pros and cons.
The Lord Gaochang, who was once played like a dog by Ning Chen, finally chose to take that step.
The whole country surrendered, proclaimed their vassals to the Tang Dynasty...!

Chapter 570 Li Mingxue: "My lord, you are so bad~~".
In the royal palace of the capital of Gaochang.
An ordinary banquet was held in this slightly dilapidated palace.
This is not because Qu Wentai is expressing his dissatisfaction with Datang.
But because of the previous chaos.
And the salt and iron embargo during this period has already caused Gaochang's national power to be extremely empty!
and so.
Even the banquet that was supposed to be grand has become more commonplace...
seat.
Qu Wentai looked at Duan Feng, the member of the etiquette department, with a wry smile on his face.
If it is in the past.
Datang sent people over to discuss the matter of surrendering, no matter what, they had to be ministers of the Ministry of Rites or ministers!
But now?
It turned out that it was only a Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites!
But even so, Qu Wentai didn't dare to feel the slightest bit of displeasure.
The so-called now and then.
Today, the countries of the Western Regions are like fish on the chopping board, and they are simply at the mercy of others!
I can send someone over.
Even His Majesty the Emperor is kind...
If it was Ning Chen, he would definitely ignore him and let Qu Wentai kneel and surrender by himself!
