No one thought that the two men who were rivals of life and death finally met together, and instead of drawing knives and splashing blood on the spot, they talked about drinking all night.

When the sky is about to dawn, there is also a melodious piano sound in the military tent, full of exotic music.

"Qin Mubai, stop being as shallow and ignorant as other Han people. You call all the strangers Hu people, and think that as long as the knife used by the Hu people is a scimitar, and the harp played by the Hu people is a horse-head qin. Garchinling's voice and intonation sounded like that of a teacher, and he said, "Now I play this six-stringed instrument, and there are also five-stringed ones, and its name is 'Zamnie.'" ”

"I know, Teacher Gar." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "In the Tibetan language, Zamu means 'sound', and 'Nie' is a pleasant sound. Zamunie is a beautiful and pleasant piano. Just now I asked you to play a piece and casually said 'horse head qin', just out of language habits. ”

"You guys have a habit like this, it's very annoying." Garqinling's eyebrows sank slightly, and he said in disgust, "You always think that you are superior, and you look down on the Hu people from the bottom of your heart, and you don't have any thoughts of respecting our customs, habits, and so on. In your eyes, we are like animals, without emotion or conviction. ”

"You're too extreme." Qin Mubai said lightly.

"I'm telling the truth." A sharp glint flashed in Garqinling's eyes, stared at Qin Mubai, and said, "When I first rode on horseback, I was only seven years old. At that time, my father told me that the Han people are our eternal enemies, just like wild beasts can never be friends with hounds. Since then, I have wondered why we are the same people, but we have such mutual hatred with the Han people. So when I was eight years old, I went to Guanzhong for the first time and went to Chang'an. Then he traveled all over the Central Plains and studied for five years. ”

"These five years are definitely crucial for you." Qin Mubai said, "You are proficient in Sinology, and even ordinary Confucian scholars are not as good as you." You are familiar with military books and use soldiers, and you can be called the master of the world's soldiers. It was Sinology that made you both civil and military, but in the end, why did you conquer the Central Plains and bully the Han people? ”

"I admit that I was amazed by the breadth and profundity of Sinology and the richness of the civilization of the Central Plains. But what shocked me even more, or what angered me, was the way you Han people look at the Hu people. Garqinling frowned deeply, as if recalling a very unbearable past, and said, "As long as you are a Hu person, in your eyes you are barbaric, ignorant, despicable, and inferior." As long as he is a Hu person, no matter how kind and rich he is, whether he is the king of a country or an ordinary serf, he will have the same impression in your eyes - just a Hu person. You have in your bones a contempt and insult for us, as if we were born in a foreign land as if it were a sin. That's when I vowed to change that. At first, I was crazy about studying, I just wanted to prove that the Hu people are no worse than any Han people, and we can understand what you will. But it didn't work. In five years, I really managed to read more than 10,000 books, and even the five Han teachers who taught me were shocked, and even willingly came to the plateau with me. ”

"But it didn't work. The more I read, the more I felt that I couldn't finish the book, and the more I felt that it was impossible to surpass the Han people in terms of knowledge. Garqinling sighed and said, "The thousand-year-old cultural heritage is indeed not something that I, an ordinary man, can imitate and surpass in my lifetime. Later, I returned to the plateau and assisted my brother-in-law, now His Excellency Zampu, with my father, to quell the war in all directions and establish the first unified dynasty in the true sense of the word. Since then, I have been thinking, how can ordinary Tibetans do things that even my Garqin Mausoleum can't do? - If you want to compete with the Central Plains for civilization and prosperity, I'm afraid another thousand years will not be enough for us! ”

"Since then, I have a dream in my heart - to conquer the Central Plains! Only in this way can you have your civilization and wealth in the shortest and fastest time! For this dream, I came to the Central Plains again and studied for three years again! ”

"Luckily, I found the answer in a tavern in Luoyang – you can't imagine what I saw that day!"

"What?" Qin Mubai asked.

Garqinling smiled faintly and said, "There are three young scholars who are half drunk, and they are chatting with the sea and the sky. It turned out that the three of them were all scholars who failed the exam, and they were complaining about the Tang Dynasty's official system. From their conversations, I heard that although the Tang Dynasty with Confucianism has all kinds of advantages, the biggest disadvantage is that it binds people's hearts, especially the use of celebrities and various dogmas to bind people's hearts. Then they also talked about the pre-Qin era, and talked about the Legalist changes in the Qin State. At that time, I was very interested in what they said, especially the 'Legalist doctrine'. When I got back, I immediately started to study and study. Three years later, I returned to the plateau. He began to assist my brother-in-law Zampu, and began to legislate to strengthen the country. Sure enough, in a short period of time, Tubo's national strength has greatly increased and strengthened its troops! ”

"Then, you started the war." Qin Mubai shook his head gently.

"The Han people have a saying, which is called attacking the shortcomings of the other with their own strengths." "In my lifetime, I will certainly not be able to see what a splendid civilization the Tubo Dynasty has created and how many amazing wealth it has created." Our only advantage is in the military. The rule of law to enrich the country and strengthen the army is indeed an immediate effect. When I gathered 300,000 Kunlun Iron Horsemen under my command, I knew that my chance had come! Although I know better than anyone else in my own heart that in just over ten years, Tubo has not been able to accumulate national strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tang Dynasty is like a towering giant, and my Garqin Mausoleum and the 300,000 Kunlun Iron Cavalry are like a sharp vertebrae - if you want to kill a giant, you don't need to crush him to pieces, you just need to stab and seal your throat, isn't it? ”

Qin Mubai smiled indifferently, "You almost succeeded." If you take Lanzhou, it's like a sharp cone piercing the skin of a giant's throat. But even if you take Lanzhou, you will definitely not be able to completely conquer the Central Plains. ”

"Why?"

"The reason is simple." Qin Mubai said, "You--born at the wrong time!" Today's Datang has many shortcomings, but he is still very strong. When you exhausted your efforts and tried your best to raise troops to attack, in my Datang opinion, it was still just a disease of scabies. It's like a mosquito, it bites people very painfully, but every time it sucks blood, it kills once; And if the person who is bitten by it is really annoyed and wants to kill it, he only needs to slap it with a slap, and that's it. ”

Garqinling's face was a little ugly, "You mean to say that you don't know us at all?" ”

"That's pretty much it." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "You want to say again, we look down on you from the bottom of our hearts, right?" Not really. Tubo is indeed the most powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and your Garqinling has always been my Qin Mubai's most valued opponent. The analogy of man and mosquito that I just spoke of was not intended to despise anyone. This is the contrast between the national strength of the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, and it is a fact. Whether I say it or not, whether you admit it or not, it's a fact. That's why I said, you weren't born at the right time. ”

"Perhaps......" Garqinling frowned slightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "But if it weren't for you, my chances of success would be much greater!" ”

"Impossible." Qin Mubai said decisively, "Even if there is no Qin Mubai, there will be Zhang Mubai and Zhao Mubai." It's useless. At least for now, Tubo is definitely not an opponent of the Tang Dynasty. This is not something that can be changed by the ability or luck of one person alone! ”

"Before I started the army, I once expected that my opponent would be Li Jing, or even Li Shimin!" "I was well prepared before I started. But I didn't expect it...... Waiting for me is an unknown opponent who is younger than me. Actually, until now, I didn't think your talent was outstanding. Although you have learned the art of war from Li Jing, you are far from reaching the point of profundity, and you are not even as good as Hou Junji. Although you are a little clever, you are definitely not as good as an old fox like Li Daozong, who has been in the court for decades. When it comes to literature and martial arts, you are almost useless - but I lost to you inexplicably! ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "So, you're too unlucky!" ”

"I thought about it a lot, and then I understood." "The reason why I will lose to you is because I have fulfilled a great taboo in the art of war—I don't know the other!" I don't know anything about you! You're different from any Han Chinese I know or know. Your thoughts, your actions, your intentions, are completely different from everyone else! Including the thunder, cannons, flying kites, and muskets that you used to deal with us, they were even more unheard of in the nearly ten years that I studied in the Central Plains! A lot of the time, I think you're unpredictable, and more often than not, you're unexpected! - So I have wondered more than once, do you belong to the same world and the same era? ”

"You guessed it, I'm actually from more than a thousand years later." Qin Mubai held his wine glass and said lightly.

Garqin Ling was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, I believe it!" ”

"What I said is true!"

"I really believe it!"

Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "In these days, lies are so deceiving, and no one believes the truth. ”

"I've said everything I should have said and shouldn't have said. Keep playing! Garqinling put down the wine glass and sighed heavily, smiled at Qin Mubai, and said, "Although you and I are natural enemies and cannot coexist in the world, God treats me well after all, so that I can have a soulmate in this life." I didn't expect that the last time I played music in my life would be for you! ”

"Zamnie...... A beautiful piano. Qin Mubai played with the wine glass, his expression was as light as water, and his eyes were complicated and confused, "Come on, take the pipa!" …… Please have my father's handsome spiritual position, and the demon spiritual position! ”

At dawn, a string startled, and the wonderful sound round was like a heavenly sound.

The veterans of the Kansai Army, who had been with Qin Mubai for a long time, heard the long-lost sound of the pipa.

After a song, the Galqin Mausoleum actually burst into tears.

"The title of the song?"

"Heart song, Lanzhou Hong."

"Who did it?"

Qin Mubai raised his eyes, looked at the side where Qin Shubao and the demon spirit seat were placed, and said lightly: "Them." ”
