Chapter 127 Comfort (Second update yesterday)

He wiped his mouth with a napkin, and Li Zhen said, "I know your opinions too. Isn't it just that we are afraid that we will lose and will not look good in terms of face?"

"Yes, to be honest, your idea is actually very good." Li Jing immediately stopped making a fool of himself when he talked about serious matters, but said seriously: "But your Highness has never thought about it. As the most powerful country in the world, the majesty of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by unbeaten battles. We must maintain an unbeaten record. However, the unknown is too obvious in winning the martial arts. Uighurs and Xue Yantuo are not without warriors, so we may not be able to win."

"To put it bluntly, aren't you still unable to afford to lose?"

"This... Your Highness, why do you dare to say anything? Disaster comes from your mouth." Li Jing jumped a lot and looked around. After finding that there were no other people, he turned around and said angrily: "Your Highness, it's enough to say this to us, but you can't say that to outsiders. Now, as the Great Protector of the Turkic Protectorate, you hold tens of thousands of elite soldiers and are invincible in power. But many people are staring at you, hoping that you will make mistakes. You can't speak like this in the future, otherwise people will hear it and it may be another trouble."

"Thank you for your teachings from Mr. Wei, I will pay attention in the future." Li Zhen thanked quickly. He also knew that he had the habit of doing things casually, but this was a habit brought by his previous life. It was not easy to correct it for a while, so he could only pay attention slowly.

"Your Highness will be a virtuous king of advice." Li Jing nodded in approval, very satisfied with Li Zhen's attitude.

"But to be honest, I really can't afford to lose, or the Tang Dynasty can't afford to lose." After praising Li Zhen, Li Jing's face turned helpless again: "Your Highness, you know that the Tang Dynasty has just defeated the Turks. Although the momentum is at its peak, the concept of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity has not yet been completely integrated into the hearts of the surrounding vassal states. If the news of my Tang failure comes out at this time, it will be a blow to the Tang Dynasty's reputation. Moreover, even if we win, it will be just a icing on the cake for the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that this competition is harmful and useless."

"Hahaha... I knew you would think so." Li Zhen smiled and said, "But you think too much. After all, this is just a competition. So what if you lose? It's just a personal victory or defeat. My Tang Dynasty's strength is there. Even if you lose, which country dares to underestimate the Tang Dynasty?

Besides, losing may not be a bad thing. Instead, it will sound a wake-up call to me. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty is proud of being in the Tang Dynasty, and everyone is proud of being in the Tang Dynasty. This is not a good thing, and it will breed a pride. But if they know that there are people outside of people and there are heavens outside of heaven, my Tang Dynasty is not truly invincible, and foreign races also have places that are better than our Tang Dynasty. What do you think they will think?”

"..." Li Jing and Xu Maogong were both thinking.

Li Zhen continued: "If I knew, I would definitely practice the aspects that were not as good as those of the foreign race, and strive to avenge shame one day, so that it would also encourage the people to strengthen themselves.

What's more, my great Tang Dynasty is a great country, and in terms of martial arts, you may not lose to the foreign race! You two should have more confidence in your warriors.

Not to mention anything else, you are the master of Xue Rengui and Fang Yiai. You should know their martial arts. It is no problem to win two games. This has already won two games. If the game specifications are to be the match, one Fang Yiai might be able to defeat all the challengers."

"It's not a confrontation, it's a one-on-one." Li Jing said: "Actually, I also want to use a confrontation, but Yi Nan and Tu Midu are not fools. How could they agree to use such a competition system?"

"In other words, a person can only win once? Five games and three wins?"

"Yes."

"That's not a problem." Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "In addition to Xue Rengui and Fang Yiai, isn't Xi Jun Buy there? He is a master who can fight Xue Rengui for 100 rounds and the tribe is at a disadvantage. I have the reason under my command. If he really uses the snake-catching technique, even Xue Rengui will be hit. However, the snake-catching technique is not suitable for battle on the battlefield, but it is the most practical for one-on-one combat."

"There are already four games." Li Jing calculated in his heart and suddenly became excited: "So, as long as we can guarantee to win two more games, we can win this game."

Li Zhen nodded and said, "It's good to have one thing. The Protectorate has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Is it difficult to select two masters from them?"

"Of course it's not difficult. The Changsheng Camp's captain Wuhan Iron and Steel is known as the number one master in the army. In terms of martial arts, it is not a problem to win one game, and it can be easily found in the remaining game." Xu Maogong nodded and said, "There are many talents in the army, not to mention two masters, even twenty or twenty or twenty are not a problem. As long as the best is selected, the strongest one can always be found.

"I feel relieved, thank you for your solution." After Li Zhen's analysis, Li Jing found that it was not difficult for the Tang Dynasty to win, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Maogong said, "But we can't be careless because of this. Xue Yantuo and Uighurs also have masters. This requires detailed investigation by the Flying Tiger Army to see which masters Tu Midu and Yi Nan brought."

The Flying Tiger Army (which is really true in history, not a fool) is a secret spy organization in the Tang army, and is also loyal to Li Shimin. However, this secret spy organization only acts on the army, and its scope is not as powerful as the Green Cavalry that monitors the world, so it is unknown.

"Of course." Li Zhen wouldn't say that the Blood Dragon Guard had found the news. Although the Blood Dragon Guard appeared a lot, there were not many people who knew about him. Apart from Li Zhen and his many confidants, the rest were some people in the royal family who knew about it, such as Li Shimin and Li Yuan, and then some core figures in the royal family, which could not even be known about some slightly marginal ones.

"Since that's the case, I have nothing else to do. Let me leave now. Your Highness, please rest early." After saying the matter, the two of them prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Two adults walk slowly."

“…”

After seeing off the two, Li Zhen did not sleep: "Xiao Fuzi."

"Your Highness." Xiao Fuzi kept guarding outside. After hearing Li Zhen's call, he hurried in: "What are your instructions?"

"Have I asked the person you were looking for to find?"

A glimmer flashed in Xiao Fuzi's eyes and he hurriedly said, "I am looking for a few suitable targets, and I am investigating their details, but it will take some time."

"I don't need to do it for the time being. You don't need to worry. You must not know about it with outsiders based on the secret."

"Yes, I understand."

"Go."

"Yes, I'll leave."

“…”
