When the situation reversed, Nanzhao had no intention of looking eastward, and the dispute between Ge Luofeng and Yu Cheng's heir had caused turmoil in Nanzhao, Yu Chengjie took the lead and accused Ge Luofeng of sending someone to assassinate him on the way back from Chang'an, while Ge Luofeng resolutely denied that there was such a thing, and pointed out that Yu Chengjie was plotting against him, and the supporters of the two factions had already been fighting in secret.

And their father, the king of Nanzhao, Pi Luoge, seems to have run out of oil and lamps, and he is powerless to ask about the competition for the throne of his sons, and the sky over Nanzhao has been surging, and a battle for the throne that determines the fate of Nanzhao has quietly kicked off.

Three hundred horsemen of the Tang army galloped non-stop in the starry night, the golden and huge full moon hung in the treetops, facing the whistling night wind, they were like a group of ghosts flying in the moon, when the morning dawn first appeared, when the first brilliant golden light was seen, they arrived at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, the capital of Nanzhao on the shore of Erhai Lake, Taihe City.

Li Qing's war horse stopped striding meteor, raised his head and neighed, and began to walk slowly, he stared at the huge black figure of Cangshan, which had gradually turned green under the early sun, and extended from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountainside, the hazy gray wall gradually turned white, and a layer of faint red light was draped in the morning glow, the sun suddenly jumped into the gloomy eastern sky, shooting out thousands of golden rays, shining on the city, everyone exclaimed, in the green trees and white mist, the majestic Taihe City was like a mythical city, and the towering pagoda was like a giant sword piercing the sky, Several black flags fluttered in the morning breeze on the battlements, and a clear sound like a silver trumpet was heard in the distance in the sky.

"Is this the South of the Clouds?" Li Qing's eyes were fascinated, he had been thinking about Dali for a long time, but he never thought that the first time he saw it, it had been a thousand years.

Zhang Scar stepped forward immediately, pointed to the city gate and said with a smile: "General, we came just in time, Taihe City opened the city gate." ”

After getting along with everyone for a long time, Zhang Scar also changed his original intention and officially became a member of the 300 Tang Army.

Li Qing nodded, turned around and said loudly to everyone: "Work harder, go into the city to find the mission, let's have a good rest!" ”

Everyone agreed, urged the horses, rolled up the rolling yellow dust, and galloped towards this mythical city.

Not yet to the city gate, only to see the road green trees, the air is full of flowers, a river meanders like a jade belt, the river water is clear, the houses on both sides are dense, the shape is exquisite, the pedestrians on the official road are like weaving, and the land is sparsely populated, the building is very different from the east, many of them wear soft feet and heads, and the Han businessmen who wear narrow sleeves and shirts with lapels are mixed with it, the women here are pretty, the accent is sweet and glutinous, and the local accent is mixed with a few Chinese words, so that people can also understand their meaning.

There are many pedestrians, the Tang army does not dare to ride the horse, so they lead the horse, although they are clearly clothed, but the sensation caused by the Tang mission a few days ago has made them visually tired, and it is not strange.

"Li County Order! Lee County Order! The call of surprise kept ringing in Li Qing's ears, and he turned around in a daze, seeing that it was a young man dressed as a Nanzhao official, and his mouth was open enough to stuff three white eggs in surprise, and his two eyes were particularly sharp, as if he could see through his bag.

"You are?"

Since he called himself Li County Ling, he should have met in Yibin, but in Li Qing's memory, he really didn't have this impression.

"Huh! Li Xianling naturally didn't know me, but he still remembered the incident of falling into the Minjiang River, when Li Xianling was still in a coma, I was the one who gave Li Xianling diagnosis and treatment, I don't know if Mrs. told you about it afterwards. ”

Li Qing thought about it now, and Curtain told him that he was a famous doctor with good medical skills and love money.

"You're—a witch doctor." Li Qing looked him up and down, the famous doctor in Yibin County, why was he wearing Nanzhao's official uniform.

"Yes, below is Wu Yulin, who 'money is a passing cloud, called Xia Qi Fu'."

Wu Yulin saw Li Qing's strange eyes and knew his thoughts, so he explained with a smile: "Although I don't love money, I don't like fame, but being an official is my life's wish, I have no hope in the Tang Dynasty, it just so happened that the Nanzhao mission stayed in Yibin County, I treated the knife wound for the second king, he saw that my medical skills were good, so he brought me to Nanzhao, and now I am the medical officer of the Nanzhao Palace, specially for the king of Yunnan to diagnose diseases, hehe!" There is a petty official, and Li County must not be surprised. ”

His official uniform has been worn for a few days, and he is eager to find acquaintances to show off, but Nanzhao is biased, not to mention acquaintances, even Han people are difficult to see a few, it is easy to see Li Qing, and he doesn't care if this official is not another official, he takes his hand and wants to talk about the friendship of colleagues.

Wu Yulin's sharp eyes look at money and things, but Li Qing's vision is deeper than him, Yu Chengjie is willing to bring Nanzhao only women, think he is Zhao Quandeng recommended into the palace to treat Pi Luo Ge? Li Qingxin blistered with a string of questions, things will not be so simple, Zhao Quandeng's move must have some deep meaning.

"Woo! Woo! The low trombone sound sounded not far away, the people around him were flustered, and they ran to both sides, Li Qing heard the sound and looked, only to see a long team of people coming to the black ground, there were thousands of guards, the Nanzhao soldiers opened the way for the mission in the front, and a string of ox carts behind was loaded with gold silk utensils, in the team, there was a tall manpower sedan chair, and the sedan chair was covered by a thick curtain.

Wu Yulin suddenly remembered something, and pulled Li Qing to the side, "I remember, it seems that a Tibetan delegation is coming in the past two days, is it them?" ”

The mission slowly walked past Li Qing, everyone covered their noses in advance, but Li Qing had no experience, he saw that Wu Yulin was nothing, so he didn't take it to heart, suddenly, a strong smell of sheep almost smoked him, he rushed to a big tree and retched twice, but couldn't spit out anything, then I remembered that Wu Yulin is a doctor, that nose has been tempered a lot, naturally I won't put this taste in my nose, Li Qingxin scolded, but he couldn't blame others, so he had to think that he was unlucky.

"Hey! That Han people, how can they be so rude! ”

One

The officer saw that Li Qing was about to vomit when he smelled the smell on his body, and he was angry, and when he saw the outfit, the hatred of the country and the family, burst out together, he was proud of his identity, although the words were only reproaches, but his Chinese language was extremely non-standard, coupled with the fierce tone and expression, in the eyes of other Tang troops, this life seemed to want to drink with his general, and his hand couldn't help but put his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Li Qingzheng was dizzy, but he never heard anyone dissatisfied with him, Wu Yulin next to him suddenly pulled him hard, he turned around in surprise, but saw a fat black-faced officer staring at him fiercely, but it was a little weird, people were black but delicate, but his black in addition to the effect of sunbathing, but also dyed some dust, as if the woman's mask was dry and forgot to wash, and what 'African submarine mud' was painted, Li Qing smiled, presumably this officer has not taken a bath for many years, but he is a little fat.

The officer was the guard general of the Tibetan Mission, named Shang Xi Dongzan, a Tibetan nobleman, who looked like the Chinese New Year, in fact, he had just turned eighteen, just when he was young, and he was also strong, seeing that Li Qing had just finished vomiting, a smile appeared on his face, he knew that he could still bear it, so he urged the horse to take a few steps forward, pulled out his sword, and the tip of the sword pointed slightly at Li Qing, less than a zhang away, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire.

The Tang army next to him saw that the situation was not good, and he also knew the old bottom of his general's martial arts, so he rushed forward and drew his sword and glared angrily, and the Tubo army was not to be outdone, and also drew his sword and raised his eyebrows.

Li Qing saw that he was arrogant, he was not annoyed, waved his hand slightly, ordered the soldiers to retreat, he smiled and hugged Shang Xi Dongzan, and made a gesture of asking to leave, expressing his apology for the faux pas just now, but Shang Xi Dongzan and the Tubo army behind him glanced at each other, and laughed wildly together, as if Li Qing's low posture was like a clown in their eyes.

Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Nan Jiyun and Wu Xingsu, and the two of them understood, just at this time, a flying bird swept through the sky, a bow, a crossbow and two arrows were fired together, and the bird screamed sadly, fell from the sky, and landed at the feet of Shang Xi Dongzan, Shang Xi Dongzan looked carefully, but was surprised, only to see two arrows passing through one eye, and the other eye penetrating, forming a fork.

"Dongzan, people let you, but you don't appreciate it, you want to humiliate yourself, don't quit quickly!"

The voice came from the sedan chair of the Tubo envoy, the sedan curtain opened, revealing a thin face, about fifty years old, he was the Tubo envoy Yi Xiangle, when the Tubo Da Theory, the level was equivalent to the Tang Dynasty Left Minister Chen Xilie, this time to Nanzhao, the name is He Pi Luo Pavilion to marry a daughter, in fact, it is also for the Nanzhao heir to the dispute, Tubo supports Ge Luofeng to succeed to the throne, before he came, Zampu repeatedly told that Ge Luofeng is a great talent, will not be willing to be under the Tang Dynasty, if he is the lord of Nanzhao, and then know how to be powerful, maybe he can form an alliance with Tubo, Fight together against the Tang Dynasty.

was about to enter the city, Yi Xiangle had already seen a group of Tang Dynasty cavalry on the side of the road, and somehow, he had a conflict with the guard general Shang Xi Dongzan, he knew that Shang Xi Dongzan had a violent temper, but at this time he was in Nanzhao, and he must not be reckless, so he spoke out to stop it.

Shang Xi Dongzan was afraid of Tang Jiang's outstanding archery skills, I don't know how many times better than himself, heard Yi Xiangle's scolding, but just let him step down, he pouted, muttered two sentences, although he didn't understand what he was talking about, but his disdainful expression made everyone understand, only to see him 'hum! With a sound, he walked away.

Yi Xiangle looked at the dead bird on the ground, stretched out his thumb to Nan Jiyun and Wu Xingsu, and smiled gently at Li Qing, Li Qing also smiled and nodded, arched his hand, and apologized.

After the Tibetan envoy left, everyone talked about it, all scolded the Tibetan thieves and soldiers, the Tibetan envoy was not bad, Yazhili, Wu Yulin had something to do, and then left the address to Li Qing, first said goodbye and left, the street soon resumed the previous liveliness, Li Qing led everyone into the city, only to see that there is little difference between the city and the outside of the city, but the houses are more dense, the streets are cleaner, just when I don't know the road, a few people ran to the front, looking at the color should be the officials of the Tang Mission, the person headed by the person was full of white hair, and when he got closer, Li Qing suddenly recognized him, It is the old man who is too old, the neighbor shop of his own West Market, Dongguan Zanshan Doctor Du Youlin, can't help but be stunned, what kind of god is in charge today, he met acquaintances in the remote Nanzhao again and again, first Wu Yulin, and now Du Youlin, and how he is also in the mission, he doesn't know, thinking about it, Du Youlin has run in front of Li Qing.

He gasped twice, and said with a smile: "Should I call you Li Dongzhu?" It's still called General Li, I think it's still General Li! General Li is not harmed? I often tell me that I should be the second of the four joys in my life, and now it seems to be really good! ”

Li Qingyi returned the salute with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet Dr. Du in Nanzhao, it's really surprising, but when Dr. Du entered the mission, I don't know." ”

Du Youlin smiled slightly, "I came with the second group of people." ”

"What second batch?" Li Qing was a little confused, would he still have to divide the envoys to Nanzhao into two batches?

Du Youlin saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered to Li Qing: "The imperial court heard that Tubo also sent people to Nanzhao, but fearing that Nanzhao would be pulled away by the Tubo people, ordered us to send a large amount of food and property to Nanzhao to show his support. ”

When Li Qing heard this, he secretly thought in his heart, "It's better to increase the troops than to send money, if Ge Luofeng wins, no matter how much money he sends, it will be cheaper for him." ”

He was dissatisfied with the decision-making of the imperial court, but his face was not revealed, and after changing the topic, he smiled at Du Youlin and said: "I just don't know where the mission is stationed, can Dr. Du help me guide the way?" ”

Du Youlin smiled, "Master Wei ordered me to wait for you here, I've been waiting for almost an hour, come with me quickly!" ”

"Then there's Dr. Laudhu!"

Li Qing had just raised his feet, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, "I was under Li Longji's secret order, how did Wei Jian know that he was coming today." ”
