Hearing the hatred water mention his father, Mangbu couldn't get angry, and he slammed the horsewhip in his hand to the ground.

"Da Tan is in a difficult situation now, not only has to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army, but also has to beware of Zampu's cold dishes, and now he has no one to help him except you and Lord Zanpo can rely on. If you die, what will Da Xuan think in his heart, who will you let him rely on? ”

The words of hating the water made Mangbu Zhi's face like ashes, and he knew that what the hated water said was right, for his father, for the sake of the Gar family, he also had to live.

Mang Buzhi suddenly realized that the humiliation of this defeat, whether he wanted it or not, could only swallow it silently.

Like a wounded wolf, Mangbuzhi knelt on the ground and howled: "I am not reconciled! I'm really not reconciled! ”

Hatred Water looked at Mangbuzhi silently, he knew that he had to give Mangbuzhi time so that he would calm down!

After a long time, Mang Bu stood up, and his tone softened a lot: "Mr. Qiu, you are right, but I am really unwilling!" Before I go back, I have a request, I hope Mr. Qiu will not stop me!

"What request?" Hateful Water stared at Manbuzhi, trying to see something on his face.

"I want to meet the commander of the other side who is directing this battle!" Mang Buzhi's tone was full of bitterness, "Even if I lose, I will defeat clearly!" ”

Hatred Shui couldn't help but flash Lu Xiaoxian's face in his mind, if he didn't guess wrong, there would be no one else in command of this battle except him. Hate Shui didn't expect that Lu Xiaoxian looked like a weak son, but he didn't expect to have this ability.

According to the idea of hating the water, he wanted to dissuade Mangbuzhi, but after colliding with Mangbuzhi's earnest gaze, he could only swallow the words of persuasion back into his stomach. Hatred Water can understand Mang Buzhi's mood at the moment, and it would be a little too unkind to refuse again.

"Alright, Maben, I'll go with you!" Hate Water nodded.

……

After the Tubo people retreated, the baggage team did not act rashly, and Lu Xiaoxian was still observing the movements of the Tubo people in the car formation on the high ground.

Although the Tubo people suffered heavy losses, Lu Xiaoxian and Zhao Lang did not dare to be careless. Once they withdrew the chariot formation and marched towards Taozhou City, the Tubo people were likely to make a comeback, and without the protection of the chariot array, they would only have a dead end under the charge of the Tubo cavalry.

The Tubo people did not retreat, which made Lu Xiaoxian's heart even more uneasy. The defenders of Taozhou City did not know about their attack, and if there were any more Tibetan reinforcements, they would not be able to cope with it.

In a state of anxiety, about two hours later, a rider came galloping towards the cart in the distance.

Chai Liu subconsciously raised the crossbow in his hand, and Lu Xiaoxian held him down: "Don't worry, let's see what they have to do!" ”

It was a Tibetan cavalryman who came, and when he arrived not far from the front of the battle, he reined in his horse and shouted: "I am ordered by Lord Maben to send a letter to Lu Gongzi!" ”

Messenger? And named Lu Xiaoxian?

What the hell is this?

"Bring him in!" Lu Xiaoxian thought about it again and again, and finally made a decision.

After reading the letter, Lu Xiaoxian handed the letter to Zhao Lang and the others, silent.

After reading the letter one by one, everyone looked at each other.

It turned out that the general of the Tubo army wanted to meet with Lu Xiaoxian, and the meeting place was chosen in the open space between the chariot formation of the baggage team and the Tubo camp.

"Master Lu, you can't go, if you are fooled, you will regret it." Chai Liu dissuaded.

Zhao Lang also persuaded: "Gongzi Lu, when you came, General Manager Wang repeatedly explained that you must ensure your safety. ”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled: "It's not as serious as you think, the general who led this Tubo cavalry is called Mang Buzhi, and he is the son of Tubo Da Lun." I still know a little bit about him, he doesn't engage in any intrigues, and it doesn't hurt to see him! ”

"Master Lu, how do you know him?" Zhao Lang asked strangely.

Of course, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't tell Zhao Lang, saying that he knew it from the history books of later generations. He said blindly: "Since it is a war between the two countries, of course I have to know some information in advance, and I have also done some understanding of this Mangbu branch!" ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian said to the Tubo cavalry who were waiting for the reply: "Please go back and tell Lord Mangbuzhi, just say that I will go to the agreed place to see him on time in an hour!" ”

The Tibetan cavalry who delivered the letter answered the promise and turned to leave.

Zhao Lang did not give up, and still persuaded Lu Xiaoxian to dispel this idea.

After Zhao Lang finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly asked: "General Zhao, if the Tubo people sent a letter to the Whirlwind Brigade and asked you to meet, would you see it?" ”

Zhao Lang said without hesitation: "Of course I want to see it!" ”

"Isn't this the end of it?" Lu Xiaoxian spread his hands, "Each other!" You think the same way I do! ”

Zhao Lang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that there was no point in persuading him again.

……

In the open space directly in front of the baggage team's car formation, Lu Xiaoxian and Mang Buzhi stood facing each other, and no one spoke.

Lu Xiaoxian was followed by Zhang Meng, who was eyeing him fiercely, and two strong slaves carrying things. Behind Mangbu stood an expressionless hatred water.

After a long time, Lu Xiaoxian turned around and said to Zhang Meng and the two strong slaves: "Put down the things, you go back!" ”

Zhang Meng was worried about Lu Xiaoxian's safety, but at Lu Xiaoxian's instructions, he had to command the two strong slaves to put the things in their hands on the ground in front of Lu Xiaoxian one by one, and the three of them turned around and walked towards the car formation without a sound.

Mang Buzhi looked at the things on the ground, two large wine jars, two large bowls, and a cloth baggage.

He didn't know what Lu Xiaoxian was going to do, and his face showed surprise.

Lu Xiaoxian pointed to the two wine jars in front of him, and smiled at Mangbuzhi: "This is the good wine I brought from Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Ma Ben must also know that Luoyang is thousands of miles away from here, and I am not willing to drink this wine along the way." Fortunately, the previous battle did not affect these two jars of wine, and now I have specially used it to entertain Lord Maben, which can be regarded as a piece of my sincerity! ”

Lu Xiaoxian's preconceived words made Mang Buzhi's hostility towards him weaken a lot.

Such an atmospheric person, a person who dares to drink with the enemy, must be a man.

Mang Buzhi has always felt that the Tang Dynasty people speak in a crepe, and their stomachs are full of bad water, just like hatred water. But Lu Xiaoxian in front of him didn't make him feel this way.

There are many people in this world who like to pretend to be forced, but it is really not easy to pretend to be Lu Xiaoxian.

The hatred behind Mang Buzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Lu Xiaoxian's mind about Mang Buzhi was simply too good. Mangbuzhi can also be regarded as an elite figure among the Tubo people, but he, like most Tubo people, eats this set, Lu Xiaoxian's words have undoubtedly minimized the hatred in Mangbuzhi's heart before.

Sure enough, Mang Buzhi learned to use the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty and hugged his fist to Lu Xiaoxian: "Thank you Gongzi Lu!" I'm reckless to take your love! ”

"You're welcome, Maben!" Lu Xiaoxian's face was sincere, "If it weren't for us being our own masters, I think Maben and I would definitely become good friends!" If Maben doesn't dislike it, how about we sit here and drink and talk together? ”

Mang Buzhi turned his head and said to the hated water: "Mr. Qiu, Mr. Lu is full of hospitality, we might as well obey our fate if we are respectful!" ”

"Wait!" Lu Xiaoxian suddenly shouted to Mang Buzhi.

"Master Lu, what's wrong?" Mang Buzhi asked strangely.

"Maben! I'd like to be your friend, but he can't! Lu Xiaoxian pointed to the hatred water behind Mangbu Branch.

"Why is that?" Mang Buzhi was puzzled.

Lu Xiaoxian did not answer Mang Buzhi's question, but looked at the hatred water with a smile: "Hatred shopkeeper!" Let's meet again! Don't come unharmed? ”

Hatred Shui was obviously a little embarrassed, and he cheekily saluted Lu Xiaoxian: "Qiu has seen Lu Gongzi!" ”

"It seems that some people really don't know how important Langzhong's medicine primer is!" Lu Xiaoxian muttered thoughtlessly.

A hint of bitterness appeared on the face of the hateful water.

"Maben!" Lu Xiaoxian looked at Mang Buzhi, "I knew this Qiu shopkeeper when I was in Luoyang!" Actually, I knew at that time that he had a lot to do with Tibet, but I didn't expose it. Not only that, but I also helped him do a great thing, and he owes me a great favor! This time I came to Taozhou, I asked him to be a guide and paid him twice the honorarium, you say, I have done my duty to him! ”

Mang Buzhi didn't know that Lu Xiaoxian and Hatred Water still had this relationship, so he shot his inquiring gaze at Hatred Water.

Hate the water did not speak, nor did it deny.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Mr. Qiu must have wanted to seize the autographed letter from the Great Zhou Emperor to Tubo Zampu. As I said earlier, it's normal for each to be his own enemy. However, he will take revenge on me, and that is beyond words! ”

Hatred Shui was about to open his mouth to explain, but Lu Xiaoxian's sharp gaze stabbed at him: "You dare to say that you don't have such a mind?" You're afraid that I'll be restrained after I helped you do that, so you have the idea of killing me, right? Originally, I still regarded you as a friend, but what you did broke our fate as friends in the future. Shopkeeper Qiu, please go back! ”

Hatred Shui looked at Mangbu Branch, he was a little worried in his heart, when it came to playing with his brain, I am afraid that ten Mang Buzhi were tied together, and they were not Lu Xiaoxian's opponents. Isn't it too risky to leave Mangbu Zhi here?

Mang Buzhi was a little hesitant, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"If it were you, would you be friends with someone like this?" Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly: "If he is here, then only I am gone!" Maben, farewell! ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian was about to turn around.

"Wait!" Mang Buzhi finally made up his mind, and he said to the hated water: "Mr. Qiu, you go back first!" I'm going to have a drink with Lu Gongzi here! ”

Mang Bu gave an eviction order, and the hatred water didn't want to say anything, so he nodded and left.
