Lu Dongzan only stayed in Songzhou for half a day, and after seeing the barracks, he lost his interest in wandering, and got into the luxury carriage bought by Dada for 150 taels and went straight to Chang'an. After Li Shimin received the news of Lu Dongzan's entry into the customs, he instructed lightly: "Xiao Ming, inform Xiao Yi to put away all the things that Lu Dongzan shouldn't see." Let him be in charge of receiving Lu Dongzan again. ”

Wenyi received the news and wondered: "Didn't the history books say that Lu Dong Zanzhenguan entered Chang'an for eight years?" How did it get ahead? I remember that Songtsen Gampo should not have unified Tibet now, right, is it because of my butterfly that I have changed the trajectory of history? It seems that the intelligence network in Tibet is not yet mature, and we need to give them some eye medicine. After speaking, he raised his hand and contacted a certain person who was working as a military advisor in a certain tribe in Tubo...

After receiving the news of Lu Dongzan's entry into the customs, Niu Jinda directly gave the border army a seven-day vacation, and asked all the military camps to ensure that military discipline was slack! He also sent scouts who had just been trained by the special combat team to closely monitor Lu Dongzan and his party. When everything was arranged, Niu Jinda lay down on the tiger skin Taishi chair and dreamed of Tubo's large-scale attack on Songzhou...

Lu Dongzan is very strange, all the old men he saw along the way through the state and county were unclothed old men, and fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-grown children were rare, not to mention the young and strong who were strong and healthy. After passing by a village and seeing a few old men enjoying the shade under the big tree, Lu Dongzan could no longer hold back the curiosity in his heart and got out of the carriage, and came to several old men with a smile and asked kindly: "A few old men, the younger generation is so polite." After saying that, he performed a standard junior salute. Panicked, several old men hurriedly avoided it, and one of the oldest old men said: "The old men are all village husbands who can't stand the noble gifts, and this adult tortures me for waiting." ”

Lu Dongzan said with a smile: "Respecting the old and loving the young is a Chinese virtue, and the younger generation has something to ask for, and the number of courtesies is even more indispensable." ”

The old man took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know what your nobles command?" ”

Lu Dongzan said directly: "It's not a secret, the younger generation is Tubo Dalun Gar Dongzan, who was ordered by my country's Zampu to go to Chang'an to meet His Majesty the Tang Emperor." However, the younger generations traveled all the way to see that there were few young people in the village, for some reason. I couldn't help but be curious, so I dared to ask my husband for advice. ”

As soon as he spoke, the old men sighed in unison. The old man at the head looked left and right and said: "It's a shame to say that the younger generation has gone to work in the fields, so there are only people in the village who are waiting for me to die." ”

Lu Dongzan knew that he must not be telling the truth, so he waved his hand behind him and waved away the guards and asked again: "Don't deceive the juniors, the juniors have not passed through the fields, the fields are full of women and busy, even fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys are rare." The younger generation dared to ask the old man to tell the truth. After speaking, he quietly handed over a heavy money bag.

Sure enough, money is an almighty stepping stone, the old man saw that the guards were far away, and quickly put away the money bag, and then whispered: "Don't dare to deceive the nobles, the younger generation is indeed only left with women, but all the men who can pick up arms have been forcibly conscripted, I heard that it is because the Turks are going south again, and the army is understaffed, but I don't know how many of their little cubs who have not even been trained can come back alive, my poor son and grandson!" As he spoke, the old man burst into tears.

Lu Dongzan said a few words of comfort, and when the old man stabilized his emotions, he asked, "Your Majesty of the Tang Dynasty has completely annihilated the Turkic army, don't you still know about it?" ”

The old man was stunned and said: "The old man really doesn't know, are you sure, noble?" Did we Datang win? ”

Lu Dongzan wanted to tell them the fact that although the Tang Dynasty had completely annihilated the Turks, it had also lost 200,000 troops, but looking at their expectant eyes, he couldn't say anything, so he had to make up a white lie: "Don't worry, as far as the younger generation knows, your Datang has won a complete victory this time, and only lost 2,000 men and horses to annihilate 100,000 Turkic troops!" ”

The old man immediately said angrily: "Nonsense! When did my ** team have such combat power? The years of conquest have already cleaned up the elite, and most of the remaining recruits have such combat power? Please don't deceive the old man! ”

Lu Dongzan was determined in his heart, and sure enough, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was truly empty! But with a look of shame on his face, he clenched his fists and said: "The junior didn't mean to deceive, please Uncle Haihan, in fact, you lost 20,000 people." But the younger generation believes that your son and grandson will be auspicious, and they will be able to return home in peace in a few days! ”

The old man cried again, and Lu Dongzan finally appeased the old man, and then left him a bag of silver before getting into the car. Lu Dongzan, who heard the truth, was in a very good mood, humming an ugly song while tasting the Xizhen tea rewarded by Songtsen Gampo...

When Lu Dongzan walked away, several old men looked at each other and laughed. After a while, a ruffian walked over, and several old men hurriedly put away their smiles and reported to the ruffian: "Lord Alpaca, my subordinates have deceived Lu Dongzan as planned, and this is the money he gave us." After speaking, he took out the two money bags that Lu Dongzan gave him from his sleeve.

The ruffian took the money bag and shook it in his hand and smiled, "This guy is quite generous." He opened the money bag and took the smallest silver from it, and then returned the money bag to the old man: "As the saying goes, 'those who see have a share', we can't break the rules, I have already taken this one, and you can share the rest." Your performance this time is very good, I will report your alliance leader truthfully, and let him praise you again! ”

The three old men immediately smiled, and after a few more chats, they left separately. Needless to say, these people are all actors arranged by the arts! Although there is no perfect entertainment industry in later generations, the actors and storytellers have grabbed a lot of them, and these three old men are the most famous local storytellers. And the storytellers are now all compiled into the lower nine gates under the banner of the Wulin League, so the spy head of the alpaca can easily find them.

Lu Dongzan, who had put down his worries, no longer had the idea of visiting the magnificent rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, and galloped all the way to reach Chang'an as soon as possible. As soon as I arrived outside Chang'an, I saw hundreds of ragged people busy on the construction site, and from time to time, an overseer waved a whip and threw a few loud whips at someone and cursed.

Lu Dongzan's compassion couldn't help but burst, and he silently chanted: "May the gods bless these poor people." But a satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

At this moment, Dada knocked on the window of the car and reported: "Da Lun, there are officials from Datang in front, who should be here to greet you." Lu Dongzan had a smile on his face, and jumped out of the carriage briskly to meet him. The person who came cursed Lu Dongzan for several days of literature and art! In fact, it makes sense to scold Lu Dongzan, the holographic image equipment of literature and art has just been produced and is preparing for the experiment, but Lu Dongzan is stuck at this point in time, and literature and art can only suppress the impulse in their hearts to meet Lu Dongzan!

Wenyi saw Lu Dongzan coming over quickly, and he was not ambiguous at the moment, turned over and dismounted, opened his hands and laughed and trotted towards him, as if he had seen an old lover who had been absent for many years! There were still about three steps away, Lu Dongzan stopped and prepared to make a standard greeting, but he didn't know that Wenyi not only didn't stop, but also ran a few steps quickly and gave him a warm hug in front of everyone! Lu Dongzan's hands on his chest didn't know where to put them for a while, when did Datang have this etiquette? Didn't the book say that the gentlemen of the Tang Dynasty were all courtesy?

Wenyi slapped Lu Dongzan's back twice, and then let go of Lu Dongzan, who was confused, and said with a smile: "I have admired the name of the great talk for a long time, and I am fortunate to see three lives today!" Let's go, I have already set up a banquet in the Spring Festival Building, and I won't get drunk today! ”

When Lu Dongzan was waiting to be modest and ask who you were again, Wenyi grabbed his big hand and walked towards Chang'an, saying as he walked: "It is said that Tubo is located on the plateau, but all the Tubo people who come to Datang are blushing, but Dazhu doesn't seem to have this phenomenon, it looks very suitable for living in Datang, let me tell you about the great rivers and mountains of Datang today!" You can live in Chang'an with peace of mind in the future! Wine and meat are enough! ”

Lu Dongzan was completely confused when he heard the words of the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth, and just wanted to interject, he was interrupted by literature and art: "Look at this side, this is the construction site of our new Chang'an, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he thought that Chang'an was too small, so he ordered an expansion, and 200,000 laborers were recruited at one time!" Look at the foundation has been laid in less than half a year, and the action is fast, right? Look over here..."

The Tang Dynasty greets distinguished foreign guests by going ten miles out of the city to greet them, and literature and art are of course no exception, but after welcoming Lu Dongzan, they pull him all the way to talk nonsense in the southeast, northwest, and northwest. Just didn't introduce himself, and didn't mention the matter of riding a horse and a car, Lu Dongzan wanted to take the initiative to ask, but he couldn't interject, so he had to be pulled by Wenyi to walk the ten miles on foot.

Entering Chang'an City, literature and art are even more excited, pointing east and west to enthusiastically describe Chang'an City in detail to Lu Dongzan, and why the old beggar at the gate of the city can beg in a bright and bright way, and the widow who sells rice cakes has those lace news. Along the way, he didn't let Lu Dongzan interject a word! When the guests and hosts of the Spring Festival Building sat down, Wenyi stopped, took three cups of tea in a row, and shouted: "Good tea!" ”

Looking at the tea stalks and tea dirt at the bottom of the teacup, Lu Dongzan couldn't figure out how this inferior tea could be delicious. Of course, the high-ranking nobles of Tubo would not be so rude, and after taking a sip with Wenyi, he smiled and said: "It's really good tea!" This adult forgives me for being rude, chatting all the way but still don't know your surname? ”

Wenyi patted his head and said in annoyance: "Eh, look, I couldn't help but say a few more words at first sight, but I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Wen, and the single name 'Art' is the current first prime minister." ”
