When the people in the arena were almost gone, near the north stand, several Hu people wearing thick sheepskin jackets and sticky hats in the summer, with half of their bodies exposed, stood up from their positions, glanced at the soldiers who were still competing in the field, and sighed: "Is this the sergeant of the Yutang Empire?" It's so powerful! ”

Another bearded man beside him, who was a little shorter, with a long beard and a wrinkled face, shook his head: "I'm afraid this trip to Chang'an will not be easy, let's inquire about the situation in Chang'an City in the advanced city!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked outside.

This group of people is the envoy of the Tubo State, and the one who was a little shorter just now was Lu Dongzan, who was also the envoy of this mission.

Time rewinds to two hours ago, the Tubo delegation has come to the south of Chang'an, this time they are from Bashu, across the Qinling Mountains to Chang'an, along the way there are also post receptions, they along the way, but also saw the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty, but compared with the last mission to the Central Plains, there is not much change, but when they came to Chang'an outside the city, they found that they still underestimated the Central Plains Dynasty.

Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, this sentence is not wrong, but after leaving the Qinling Mountains, Lu Dongzan and others saw a wide and straight stone road, and it was very neat, Lu Dongzan didn't even know what this thing was, but when it went up, the carriage did not have the slightest bump, which greatly improved the speed of travel.

When they marched forward for more than thirty miles, they saw a group of people who were busy, constantly laying black things, and at this time Lu Dongzan knew that these things were called cement, and the road under his feet was called cement road, and it was said that various places in the Yutang Empire had begun to trim cement roads.

Think about Tibet again, not to mention the cement road, even the ordinary paved road, people step on it with their feet, in the case of windy, snowy and rainy weather, the road is difficult to walk at all, dozens of miles of road to walk for a week or even longer.

The closer you get to Chang'an, the more you can feel the strength of the Yutang Empire, and the endless convoys on the road are rushing towards Chang'an from all directions, and their cars are loaded with all kinds of goods, most of which are difficult to buy in Tubo.

On the banks of the Weishui River, Lu Dongzan saw one cargo ship after another, full of goods docked, and then the porter loaded the goods onto the car, transporting them to Chang'an City, where there were his favorite porcelain, glass, and silk that the Tubo people liked, and more of the grain they urgently needed, but in the Yutang Empire, it can be seen everywhere.

Along the way, Lu Dongzan was walking and watching, he walked for two days in the original day, and in the afternoon of the next day, he came to a place five or six miles away from Chang'an City, and before he saw the Chang'an City Wall, he saw a group of people from the Yutang Empire waiting for something, which aroused Lu Dongzan's curiosity.

"What's going on over there!" Lu Dongzan grabbed a passer-by casually and asked in broken Chinese.

Wang Xiaoer, who rushed to buy tickets to watch the game, instinctively frowned, and after seeing that it was a Hu man, he was even more unpolite: "Why are you Hu Ren so rude, get out of the way, don't hinder me from watching the game!" After finishing speaking, he had to break free from the hands of Lu Dongzan's guards.

Several guards were also able to understand some Chinese more or less, although they didn't understand what it meant too much, but looking at this person's tone looking a little unkind, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and was about to draw his sword, but he was stopped by Lu Dongzan, Lu Dongzan took out some small pieces of silver and handed it over: "I'm sorry, my subordinates are a little impulsive, what happened before!"

For the sake of the silver, Wang Xiaoer's face improved slightly, and he weighed the silver, roughly two or three: "There is a pool game today, and everyone is queuing up to sell tickets to watch the game!" After saying that, he broke free from the guard's hand and left.

Several guards looked at Wang Xiaoer, who was leaving, and looked at Lu Dongzan, as long as Lu Dongzan said a word, these guys would immediately take action and kill this guy, this group of guards was used to being barbaric in Tubo, and it was still the same when they arrived in the Central Plains, but Lu Dongzan waved his hand: "This is Chang'an, don't be impulsive, listen to me before doing anything!" ”

Several guards looked at each other and put their knives back in their scabbards, while Lu Dongzan looked at the place in line with interest, and finally let most of the envoys continue to rush towards Chang'an City, while he took two people and lined up to buy tickets, ready to watch the game.

Lu Dongzan, as the first wise man in Tibet, of course, this title was sealed by himself, is there anyone smarter than him in Tibet, there may have been before, now, I don't know, those who were once smarter have been cut off by him.

After filming for about half an hour, Lu Dongzan and the others bought tickets, but no matter how much silver he used, he couldn't buy a good position, so he could only buy an exclusive seat specially opened for the Hu people, and sit with the aliens from the grassland or from Central Asia.

"Pool will be understood by you later, today's game is Qianniuwei and Zuo Wuwei!"

This is the top-secret information that Lu Dongzan spent three taels of silver to probe, and he secretly gave the ticket seller three taels of silver, and finally the ticket seller told him this important news.

"I guess they probably don't know about today's game!" Lu Dongzan nodded his head with a slight courage, glanced at the rest of the Hu people around him, and suddenly had a sense of superiority.

Not far away, a few Hu people from the Dayue clan looked at the manual in their hands and discussed in a low voice: "Last time Qianniuwei and Zuo Wuwei were tied, this time I look better at Zuo Wuwei!" ”

"I think Qianniuwei is stronger, I have a Han friend, they said that Zuo Wuwei's general Cheng Yanjin is not optimistic about his team, and secretly ...... on Qianniuwei's side"

Lu Dongzan kept looking at the situation in the venue, and the most observed with his eyes was the rate of the Donggong Guard who maintained order, the rate of the Donggong Guard was similar to that of the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven, close to the nature of the honor guard, although it was developed into a construction corps by Yu Zhiqian, but the selection criteria and equipment were the highest among all the armies of the Yutang Empire, so it looked majestic.

"Can all these sturdy sergeants only be used to maintain law and order?"

Lu Dongzan's brows furrowed, as a smart person, he knew very well that if he wanted to understand a country, he had to observe it from the subtleties, just like now, an ordinary game, the sergeants who maintained order on the spot, were all like this, so what would the border army of the Yutang Empire look like?

"I haven't fought with the Yutang Empire for some years, is the Yutang Empire already so strong?"

Lu Dongzan secretly thought in his heart, in the past, Tubo often fought with the Yu Tang Empire, but it was all some tribes and the Yu Tang Empire, after Songtsan Gampo unified Tubo, although they were testing each other, but there was no formal fight, but Lu Dongzan has been collecting information about the Yu Tang Empire, and now it seems that the intelligence is a little inaccurate, and the Yu Tang Empire is much stronger than he thought.

Just now, he has already inquired with the people about the money, today's game is just an ordinary game, there will be tomorrow, and there will be another one in seven days, so this kind of game is not a special game in the Yutang Empire, it is very common, so there will be no special place, this is the most real side of the Yutang Empire.

Lu Dongzan also considered a possibility, the Yutang Empire deliberately showed his muscles to him, but after thinking about it, it was not very likely, after he left the Qinling Mountains, he did not live in the post station, nor did he play the banner of the mission, and there were no official personnel of the Yutang Empire around, so the Yutang Empire did not know that he had arrived in Chang'an now, so this probability was very low.

Since it was just an ordinary game, without any special ball game, and no one specifically showed off their muscles, what they saw in this game was very real, and these soldiers who maintained order on both sides should be the lowest soldiers of the Yutang Empire, or the second-line troops.

Lu Dongzan still knows some things about the Yutang Empire, such as the military establishment of the Yutang Empire, etc., which has some transportation teams composed of a large number of people, and some soldiers who rhyme with grain and grass and guard the small city, these army intelligence is realistic and low in combat effectiveness, but now it seems that the information may be wrong, of course, it is also possible, because this is Chang'an City, so even if it is a second-line soldier, it is the same!

"Qianniuwei Tubo has never fought each other, but Zuo Wuwei has some fighting records!"

Lu Dongzan silently looked at the situation of Zuo Wuwei, Qianniuwei he was not very familiar with it, but Zuo Wuwei was an army under the command of the Yutang Empire Gong Cheng Jin, with strong combat effectiveness, and had several conflicts with the Tubo State, Lu Dongzan had a deep impression of this, about five years ago, there was a team of 200 Zuo Wuwei, and this army of more than 1,000 people in Tubo encountered, after fighting for half an hour, Zuo Wuwei killed more than 400 Tubo people, and he was injured, less than 50 people died, and not even a corpse was left.

It is also because of this incident that the Tubo people saw the strength of the Yutang Empire, and Songtsan Gampo did not dare to provoke the Yutang Empire easily, but instead bullied and bullied the southern Tianzhu and some Hu people in Central Asia.

"Are Zuo Wuwei's people like this?"

When Xu Zhudianwei walked out with the members of Zuo Wuwei's contestants, cheers immediately broke out around him, and Lu Dongzan kept looking at Zuo Wuwei's group of soldiers, all of them were big shoulders and round waists, very strong, and the people next to Lu Dongzan were all Tubo warriors, but in front of this group of people, it was like a thin teenager.

"Are all the soldiers of the Yutang Empire like this?"

Lu Dongzan silently looked in the direction of Qianniuwei, as if Qianniuwei was the same, and couldn't help but feel desperate in his heart, the Yutang Empire was too strong, powerful and desperate, these soldiers, if they wanted to be killed on the battlefield, Tubo would have to kill at least seven or eight or even more warriors to be able to do it.

When the game started, Lu Dongzan was shocked again, are the sergeants of the Yutang Empire so strong? If this is not a field, but a battlefield!

Lu Dongzan seemed to see the Tubo soldiers fighting with the Yutang Empire, just a contact, the soldiers of the Yutang Empire were like gods descending to earth, knocking the Tubo soldiers on their backs, and one person could easily cut down a dozen or even more Tubo soldiers.

This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that there are more people in the Yutang Empire than in Tibet......

In addition, there are also the fanatical people around him, which also makes Lu Dongzan feel the strength of the Yutang Empire, and the passion that these people burst out is something he has never seen in the people of Tubo, and the special qualities of these people are not weak, once they are armed into soldiers......

After the game, Lu Dongzan sat in his place, silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, this trip to Chang'an may not be easy, but Lu Dongzan also breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately this time he came, and saw the strength of the Yutang Empire, if Tubo has not come to the Yutang Empire, has been hearsay, and the Yutang Empire has a conflict, then the consequences are really unimaginable.

"Your Highness, the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom has arrived in Chang'an, but their envoy seems to have come to see our pool game!"

Yu Zhiqian, who had just returned to the East Palace, received this information from his subordinates, and couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect the Tubo people to come so quickly, according to Yu Zhiqian's estimate, the Tubo people would be able to arrive at least a month later.

"They came from Bashu?"

Yu Zhiqian thought for a while, to be able to reach Chang'an so quickly, only through Chengdu and across the Qinling Mountains can he do it.

"Yes!"

"Come on, let's see what they're going to do! By the way, what's their envoy called? ”

"It seems to be called Lu Dongzan!"

"Lu Dongzan?"

Yu Zhiqian's eyes narrowed, if Yu Zhiqian didn't know what the Tubo people were going to do before, but after the name Lu Dongzan came out, Yu Zhiqian knew very well that the Tubo people definitely came to ask for marriage.

"The name is right, here's the list of missions!"

Yu Zhiqian glanced at it, waved his hand, signaled to retreat, and said to himself: "It seems that Lu Dongzan used ants to pass through the ball and answered three questions correctly, so he welcomed the princess, should I also give Lu Dongzan three questions?" ”

"It seems that Lu Dongzan is the brain of Tubo, and the current Tubo people seem to be very religious, and they have to sacrifice everything to God, if Lu Dongzan is left in the Central Plains forever, then the threat of the Tubo people is not a threat!"

Yu Zhiqian said to himself again, if Lu Dongzan is solved, the threat of the Tubo people can disappear forever, Yu Zhiqian does not recommend using some small means, as for reputation or something, Yu Zhiqian has never cared about it, it can be a simple thing, why complicate it?
