Chapter 53: Escape and Ascension
Night falls.
The people had fled the royal city far away, and they could no longer see the fireworks burning in the royal city.
In the air, a bright moon.
The weather became deserted.
A cold wind blew, and Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but tighten the yak coat on his body.
Those who had been on the run for a day were tired, hungry, sleepy, and cold.
The crying was gone.
Everyone was already crying hoarsely.
I'm tired of crying.
"Your Majesty, let's rest for a while." A courtier came to Songtsen Gampo's side and asked.
"Your Majesty, we've been walking for a day, and the tribes are already tired, even if it's a horse, they have to eat some grass." Another courtier came to his side and persuaded him.
Songtsen Gampo sat on his horse and looked back into the distance.
On the other side of the hill is his royal city.
It's out of sight now.
The fire was gone.
The royal city was ruined, and the tears of the tribes were dried.
There were a lot of footprints left along the way, which were the marks left by the tribe stepping on sharp stones, cutting the skin and staining the feet red.
Some of them looked numb.
Ahead, where is it?
How long will you go?
There is no hope in sight.
Wandering, nowhere.
"That'...... Then rest here tonight. Songtsen Gampo said.
By this time, it was not too late.
"I've been gone for a day, and the demon shouldn't be able to find us." Songtsen Gampo sighed, and the whole person seemed to have grown up all at once.
He looked into the distance, his brow furrowed, and his heart was heavy.
Why do such monsters appear on the snowy plateau?
Could it be that the legends of ancient times are all true?
If the legend in the family is true, and now that the tribe has been destroyed, why haven't the legendary gods and dragons come out to save their children and grandchildren?
Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The fire was quickly lit, and there were still some dry branches in the valley.
However, everyone came out in a hurry, and they didn't bring food at all.
Hungry, really hungry.
Bonfires lit everywhere.
The hungry, thirsty, and cold crowd finally felt a little warmth.
Songtsen Gampo, Sayangam, and Saimaga gathered around the fire.
"Gollum ......"
Suddenly, there was a loud sound.
Princess Saimaga looked at Jumonsa and whispered, "A-Niang, I'm ...... I'm hungry. ”
"Good boy, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, you won't be hungry." Sayangam picked up Saima and patted her gently on the shoulder.
Now, who isn't hungry?
But what can be done?
When everyone fled, they didn't have time to get a grain of millet at all.
"Otherwise, kill the horse I was riding." Songtsen Gampo thought for a moment and said to the people around him, "Go and kill my horse." ”
"No, no." Sajigem hurriedly spoke out to stop him, and said: "You are now the monarch of Tibet, as a monarch, what can you do if you don't have a mount?" ”
"Our mounts can be killed, you are a monarch, you must have the majesty of a monarch." Sagham said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, your mount must not be killed."
"Your Majesty, let the tribes be patient, and when we get out of the valley, we will go to the south and enter the mountains, and then the demon will not find us."
"When you get to the mountains, you will have yaks, and then everyone will be able to eat."
“……”
The courtiers next to him spoke one after another.
"We can survive, but can the children and the elderly? At this time, even a bowl of hot soup can drive away the cold on your body. Songtsen Gampo stood up and looked at the starry bonfires in the valley.
"It's so cold, how can the flames alone make the tribes survive the cold night? Fire can make our bodies feel warm, and food can make our minds feel warm. ”
He said slowly, "The tribes have left their homes with them, how can I bear to watch them starve from the cold?" Tell me that all the cattle should be killed, and that everyone should have a full meal, so that they can continue on their way tomorrow. ”
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, without horses, how should we go next?" The courtier next to him said worriedly.
"What if you have horses? If you can't even survive tonight, what's the use of keeping the horses? Songtsen Gampo raised his voice and said, "As long as you can get out of danger, are you still worried about not having horses?" ”
"There is nothing lacking on this snowy plateau, but there is no shortage of wild horses." Songtsen Gampo said, "Go ahead, let the big guys have a full meal and a good night's sleep." ”
"Whoa!"
The squire took his knife and walked out.
Horses roar and cows roar.
Unwilling to scream.
Soon, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Kill horses and cattle and light bonfires.
Cut the beef into cubes and scurry on sticks.
Butter drips and hisses.
The smell of meat was pervasive, and the people shouted.
Zampu Rende, the co-master of the snowy region.
……
Hymns rang out all around, all singing praises to the benevolence of Songzan Gampo.
Songtsen Gampo, the most benevolent monarch.
Snowy plateau, the only Zamp.
……
The people are the most honest, and you give them some benefits to be able to remember you for the rest of their lives.
Feel deeply grateful.
Songtsen Gampo was holding a large piece of roasted horse meat that was not cooked on the outside, and he was actually crying in his heart.
This horse was raised by himself since he was a child, just like his own brother.
Moreover, the horse was of human nature, and on his way to escape, he ran out of the stable, followed him, and carried himself out of the city.
All the way.
Affectionate, comparable to a brother.
However, now it has become a piece of meat in his own hands.
With tears in my eyes, gnawed.
gnawing on his brother's flesh.
The heart, dripping blood.
"Your Majesty, now that we are out of danger, where should we go tomorrow?" A courtier asked.
Songtsen Gampo pondered for a while and then said, "Let's go to Nibora." ”
"Nibora?"
"The country of Nibhara is weak, if we can rush in, we will definitely be able to occupy Nibhara." Songtsen Gampo slowly spoke, "The land of the mud Borneo country is fertile and the pastures are abundant, if we can get such a place to recuperate, we will definitely be able to return to the snowy region again in the future and become the real overlord of this snowy region!" ”
"And from the mud Bora, that is the Tianzhu country, the Tianzhu countries are chaotic, if we kill it in one fell swoop, we will be able to conquer the entire Tianzhu, with the help of the forces of the countries, destroy the Shura!"
Songtsen Gampo's eyes showed an incomparably strong murderous intent and hatred.
If it weren't for that hateful asura, how could he be like a young eagle that has left its nest, displaced.
In the dark.
A figure is walking forward step by step.
The people by the fire were roasting beef and mutton with a happy face.
The smell of meat is constantly permeating.
Everyone didn't notice that there was a tall figure walking by.
