At noon, Lu Xiaoxian and his entourage saw from a distance that there was an endless pure blue lake under the blue sky and white clouds.

"Master Lu, this is Qinghai Lake!" Hate Water introduced.

When he got closer, Lu Xiaoxian found that this place was really a beautiful paradise.

Qinghai Lake seemed to be purified, and Lu Xiaoxian wanted to hold it with both hands to moisten his thirsty throat.

The breeze soothes, the lake water ripples like silk, and the heart is melted by the blue water of the lake.

Say goodbye to Qinghai Lake and continue to move forward, and two hours will come to the destination of this trip, Fuqi City.

It turned out that Fu Qian City was only fifteen miles away from Qinghai Lake.

Thinking that the Tuyuhun people are really wise, they can build the capital in such a feng shui treasure land, and they are surrounded by Qilian Mountain and Qinghai Lake in front.

……

According to the Tang model, the Tubo people actually set up a post house in Fuqi City. However, compared to the magnificence of the Luoyang Post House, the post house in Fu Qi City is too inconspicuous.

Lu Xiaoxian and his entourage lived in a rectangular tent, which was supported by wooden sticks with a frame about seven feet high, covered with a black yak felt blanket, and pulled by cow hair ropes around it and fixed to the ground.

The tent was surrounded by a low wall about two feet high made of mud or adobe, on which barley, ghee bags and cow dung were piled up. The furnishings in the tent are simple, the stove is placed in the middle, the Buddha is offered behind the stove, and the ground is spread with sheepskin around it, which is used for sitting and resting.

Following the customs of the locals, Lu Xiaoxian didn't bother to care if others fell asleep, so he simply ate some dry food and slept until dawn.

The breakfast provided by the Tubo people is very rich, but in Lu Xiaoxian's opinion, it is very simple, and it is only three kinds of tsampa, beef jerky and butter tea.

"Tsamba rice" is actually fried noodles, which is the staple food that Tubo people must eat every day.

Butter tea is a necessity for plateau life, when it is cold, it can drive away the cold, when you eat meat, you can get tired of it, when you are hungry, when you are sleepy, you can relieve your fatigue, and when you are sleepy, you can also clear your mind.

After having breakfast with Lu Xiaoxian, Hate Shui led Lu Xiaoxian and Guo Zhen to the Shuai Mansion to meet Qinling.

The place where Qinling lives is much better than the post house, this is a building made of stone, very tall and magnificent, and it should be the best place to live in Fuqi City.

Whether in the future or in this life, Lu Xiaoxian has heard the name of Qinling countless times, and it is the first time he has seen a real person, which makes him a little excited.

There were two other people who accompanied Qin Ling to meet Lu Xiaoxian and Guo Zhen.

One of them, Lu Xiaoxian, knew that it was Mang Buzhi. However, Mang Buzhi didn't show too much enthusiasm, and he didn't even look directly at Lu Xiaoxian.

The other person was unusually burly, and the first impression reminded Lu Xiaoxian of the yak he saw along the way. That's right, this Tibetan man is like a sturdy yak.

Just when Lu Xiaoxian was looking at the three Tubo people in front of him, he suddenly heard the "yak" roar angrily: "You two, why don't you salute when you see the great talk of Tubo?" ”

Grandma's, this guy's voice is really loud enough, and it shocked Lu Xiaoxian's ears to buzz.

Lu Xiaoxian came back to his senses and made a gesture towards Qinling: "Emperor Qin of the Great Zhou Dynasty sent envoys Lu Xiaoxian and Guo Zhen to visit the Qinling of Tubo!" ”

Guo Zhen also followed Lu Xiaoxian and saluted Qinling.

"Presumptuous! Don't kneel down and salute? Another explosion of thunder erupted from the mouth of the "yak".

Lu Xiaoxian frowned, didn't look at the "yak", and Qin Ling, who was neither humble nor arrogant, said: "Big, don't you still want to force out a Chen Xingyan?" ”

More than 20 years ago, Shi Chen Xingyan, the governor of Jizhou, went to Tibet as an envoy.

At that time, Qin Ling had just won the battle, and he looked down on the Tang envoy at all, and forced Chen Xingyan to bow to him.

Chen Xingyan was unyielding, and Qinling threatened to execute him, but Chen Xingyan still refused.

As a result, he was detained in Tibet for more than ten years by Qinling, and later died in Tibet.

In the first year of Yonglong, Princess Wencheng died, and the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to the shrine, and Tubo returned Chen Xingyan's bones to the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Xiaoxian's meaning when he said this is very clear, you couldn't succeed in forcing Chen Xingyan back then, and you still can't succeed in forcing me today.

Qin Ling smiled coldly and said, "That's right, I want to see if there will be a Chen Xingyan in your Great Zhou!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian stared at Qin Ling and said a word.

Although his face was impassive, he secretly complained in his heart: Grandma's, this Qinling is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so why don't you play cards according to common sense.

It stands to reason that when Lu Xiaoxian said this, Qin Ling felt that he was at a loss, and the matter was over. didn't think about it, Qinling didn't follow the routine, he had to be more real, which made Lu Xiaoxian a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Lu Xiaoxian and Qin Ling looked at each other for a while, and suddenly turned their heads to look at Guo Zhen: "Lord Guo, are you afraid!" ”

It's a matter of the face of the court, how can Guo Zhen admit it, he straightened his chest and said: "Master Lu, don't worry, of course I'm not afraid!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian asked again: "Then I will make a decision, I don't know ...... Master Guo"

Guo Zhenyi said without hesitation: "Master Lu, no matter what decision you make, I will support you!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded: "Okay, with your words, I'm relieved!" ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian looked at Qin Ling again: "Da Zhou, you also underestimate my Da Zhou, who said that Da Zhou will not have a second Chen Xingyan!" ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Guo Zhen's eyes flashed with a righteous and awe-inspiring gaze.

But Lu Xiaoxian's next sentence almost didn't make Guo Zhen, who had his chest, flash: "However, I don't want to be the second Chen Xingyan!" ”

Qin Ling's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.

"When I came, His Majesty the Emperor specially explained to me, she said that when Tubo Dalun Lu Dongzan came to Chang'an to propose to Emperor Taizong for Zanpu Songtsan Gampo, Emperor Taizong not only did not embarrass Lu Dongzan, but also married Princess Wencheng to Tubo. If you go to Tibet as an envoy this time, I think Tubo Zampu will not embarrass you! ”

Lu Xiaoxian said that there was indeed something going on, and the person concerned was Lu Dongzan, the father of Qinling.

He took Lu Dongzan to talk about things, and there is a subtext: Datang didn't treat your father badly back then, but if you are aggressive now, it will be too unkind.

Qin Ling couldn't hear what Lu Xiaoxian was saying, but he was very wise not to take Lu Xiaoxian's words, just staring at Lu Xiaoxian expressionlessly, like looking at a rare animal that he had never seen before.

Count you ruthless!

Lu Xiaoxian was cornered by Qinling, although his teeth itched with hatred, but his face was still unwavering, he smiled and shook his head: "His Majesty the Emperor also gave me an explanation, she said that if the Tubo people really want to embarrass you, I agree with you to bow down to Tubo Zanpu, but you have to remember that no matter who you can only bow down once, this is related to my Da Zhou's face, and you must not break this bottom line!" ”

I don't know if it's a fool's errand!

The more Guo Zhen listened to Lu Xiaoxian's words, the more depressed he felt in his heart!
