Chapter 235: Greeting the Mission
The blue sky, the white clouds, the large green meadows, and the herds of cattle and sheep walked leisurely. There is also the rippling blue water of the lake, and the faint snow-capped mountains on the other side. The crisp ringing of copper bells, the murmuring of scriptures, the prayer wheel of reincarnation faintly, and the quiet ancient temple......
Lu Xiaoxian and his entourage went deep into Tuyuhun's hometown, and they didn't walk fast, and they came down all the way, seeing that they were almost to Fuqi City, but they didn't encounter any Tubo army, which made him feel very strange.
Where did Qin Ling hide his army?
The last rays of the setting sun on the horizon were now sinking into the back of the mountains, and the slightly black clouds were outlined with golden borders, reflecting the dozen or so tents where they were camping.
The evening wind was cold, and the feather forest flags fluttered in the cold wind, scattering the smoke that rose from the cooking.
Around the warm campfire, sat soldiers with unbroken armor, their faithful horses snorting, fumbling their hooves and munching the hay in their mouths in a hurry.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian was also sitting in front of a bonfire, looking at the raging flames, not knowing what he was thinking.
Tang Qian came out of nowhere, standing quietly behind Lu Xiaoxian, looking at his back, her eyes flashing.
"Mrs. Wang, come and sit down, aren't you tired from standing?" Lu Xiaoxian said without replying.
Tang Qian didn't respond, and sat next to Lu Xiaoxian according to his words.
After a moment of silence, Tang Qian spoke first: "Young Master Lu, do you remember the three girls you said last time?" ”
"Of course I remember, I will never forget it!"
"I have a question for you! I don't know if it's possible? Tang Qian stared at Lu Xiaoxian.
"Ask!"
"Which of the three girls do you like the most?"
"Ugh!" Lu Xiaoxian was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
In fact, he never really thought about it.
Green kite, Lu Xiaoxian admires her talent.
Is she the favorite?
Probably not.
Lu Xiaoxian's feelings for the green kite are more of the guilt she felt because of her own death.
Could it be Von Man?
If he asked this question when he was in Panzhou, Lu Xiaoxian would definitely answer "yes" without hesitation. But after so many twists and turns, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly found that Feng Man seemed to be becoming more and more strange, and it was not even known whether there would be any more intersections between them in the future.
As for Tang Qian, there is no question of liking it or not.
Lu Xiaoxian has more banter to Tang Qian. This is not because the two sides are hostile, and it would be more accurate to say that the two of them are a pair of bad friends in the future generations.
Of course, it was impossible for him to say his true thoughts to Tang Qian in front of him.
"If you want to say your favorite, it should be that Tang girl!" Lu Xiaoxian didn't blush at all when he lied.
"Why?" Tang Qian looked at Lu Xiaoxian intently.
"A lot of things are unexplainable, I just like her anyway! Unfortunately, I don't know where she is, and I don't know if she remembers me. If she remembers me, I don't mind if the whole world forgets about me! ”
The so-called love words are to say something that you don't even believe, but you want the other party to believe it. But I can't help but admit that love words are very lethal to women, at least Tang Qian eats this set very much.
Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Tang Qian's eyes were full of brilliance.
She smiled, and before she could speak, she heard a terrible and piercing voice coming from a distance.
The sound of arrows, this is the warning signal of an enemy attack from the vigilant Yulin soldiers.
There is an enemy!
The well-trained Yulin soldiers jumped on their horses in unison, some bent their bows and arrows, some pointed their long knives upwards, and some drew their javelins, waiting intently.
Lu Xiaoxian frowned and stood up, at this moment they were in the control area of the Tubo army, if there was really a Tubo cavalry attacking, with such a small number of people, in such an open place, any resistance would be futile.
The moonlight cast light and shadow obliquely, reflected in the wilderness, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves could be heard from far and near, and about five hundred horses passed through this round of light and shadow, their fur was bright, like a layer of frost and snow.
Seeing that he was near, the knight in front suddenly grabbed the reins of his horse.
The horse was a divine steed, the horse's head was raised high, the horse's hooves swirled in the air, and the man had already turned around to face the vigilant Yulin soldiers.
Although there was moonlight, it was still night after all, and Lu Xiaoxian's eyesight was excellent, and he couldn't see the knight's face clearly.
The five hundred horsemen behind the knight stopped at all, but there was not the slightest confusion, and there was no sound in the whole team, only the mournful sound of the night owl.
This time, Lu Xiaoxian saw clearly, these 500 people were all dressed in tiger and leopard clothes, and there was no doubt that they were all Tubo cavalry.
"Master Lu! Is that you? The leading knight asked in a loud voice.
Lu Xiaoxian heard it, it was none other than Mang Buzhi who was shouting.
"Maben, we are destined to meet thousands of miles away, I didn't expect to meet here again!" Lu Xiaoxian responded loudly.
"Master Lu, please explain your intentions!" There is no emotion in Manbuzhi's voice.
"By the edict of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Golden Wheel Holy Spirit, I came to meet the Zanpu of the Tubo Kingdom and submit the credentials!"
What Lu Xiaoxian said was the same as the truth, and Guo Zhen was dumbfounded when he heard it.
On the way here, Lu Xiaoxian announced that Guo Zhen was the envoy of the imperial court, but Guo Zhen didn't care, thinking that Lu Xiaoxian was just doing this to hide people's eyes.
From Taozhou City to Fu Qi City, Lu Xiaoxian also said the same, Guo Zhen also said goodbye to Taozhou officials as an envoy, and he still didn't care at that time.
But now, in the face of the questioning of the Tubo people, Lu Xiaoxian actually told the lie to the end.
It's no joke, what if it's a goof?
What's more, they don't have any personal letters from His Majesty in their hands at all, so what will he use to submit his credentials when the time comes?
Guo Zhen kept playing the drums in his heart, but Lu Xiaoxian was very calm, and he added another sentence to Mang Buzhi: "Of course, before meeting Zampu, it is best to meet Qinling first, please inform Maben!" ”
"Master Lu! Wait where you are, rest in peace, and my people will protect you! I will inform the Great Commentary in a timely manner, and when the Great Commentary's order arrives, I will make the next arrangement! ”
As soon as Manbuzhi's words fell, the cavalry behind him made a detour to the sides. In a few moments, the camp was surrounded.
Everyone knows very well in their hearts that Mangbuzhi is nominally protective, but in fact surveillance.
"Thank you Maben! Then I'll go back to sleep now, and I'll hear back! ”
Lu Xiaoxian didn't bother to care about whether it was surveillance or protection, so he dropped such a sentence and really went back to sleep in the tent.
Mang Buzhi was very efficient, and early the next morning, he received an order from Qinling: to greet the envoy group with a high standard and escort them to Fuqi City.
It was none other than Hate Water who was sent to greet the Tang Dynasty envoys.
"Shopkeeper Qiu, let's meet again!" Lu Xiaoxian deliberately bit the three words "hateful shopkeeper" very hard.
Hatred Shui didn't care, and said to Lu Xiaoxian with a smile: "Master Lu, on the order of the Tubo Great Qinling, Qiu Moute came to meet the mission, please hurry up and prepare, we will go to Fu Qi City immediately!" ”
