The ghost trick that happened in Chang'an City had no impact on the Western Regions, which was thousands of miles away, and it was not in the hearts of Liu Ji and his party who traveled all the way along the Indus River.

It had been seven or eight days since they left the city of Ho Bo Lao, and they had gone from the Sgar Valley to the Indus Valley, and then along the Indus Valley all the way east, through the dry climate of Ladakh, all the way through sparsely populated slopes.

The war is still going on, of course they don't dare to take the big road, even if it is this kind of trail between mountains and forests and river valleys, they have to be careful again, one is afraid of fierce beasts, the other is afraid of routs, and maybe there will be bandits and bandits.

This area has belonged to the edge of the ancient Zhangxiong Kingdom, an ancient country with a history far beyond that of Tibet, and was once the most powerful on the Qingqiang Plateau, although it was later conquered by Tibet and has always wanted to turn it into the sixth Ru, but it has never been possible.

The reason is very simple, it is too big, the north is across the Kunlun Mountains and Khotan Town, the west and Tianzhu, the south and Nibra, the east is Tubo, Su is adjacent, the history books say that the pole of the earth is thousands of miles, the victory of 80,000 soldiers, is a veritable big country.

In such a large territory, the population is not too large, and like other regions, most of them are gathered in a few large and small cities, and the rest, like the Boru, are nomadic and hunting, relying on the gifts of nature, to continue their way of living for thousands of years.

At least in the eleventh year of Tianbao, this method may be broken, because the Tang Dynasty, which comes from a mountain away, gradually shows its fangs.

At this time, Liu Ji has completely turned into a Bolu Orion, wearing a short leather robe, covered with cloth, covered with coarse cloth, only revealing a pair of eyes, under his feet is a pair of freshly knitted straw sandals, and his trouser legs are tightly tied to his calves by straps, which looks capable and concise.

"I didn't expect you to be like this, and you are used to the mountains."

Hearing the voice behind him, Liu Ji put down the hand that was on his eyes, crossed his waist with a comfortable face, and made a gesture of pointing out the country.

At his feet, is the core area of Indian-controlled Kashmir, the place that Pakistan has dreamed of entering, I don't know how many times he has done deductions on the sand table, I don't know how many manpower he has to sacrifice to get close, and it is at his feet at this moment.

It's a pity that there is still a distance from becoming their own land.

It was the one who spoke, and his understanding of this area was not as good as Liu Ji, but he was a natural good hunter, and it was very suitable to use it in this, because they had a natural sensitivity to such an environment, and they were by no means comparable to those who were trained.

In addition to him, there was Kang Laosi, pretending to be a Sogdian merchant, a few guys from the old Shijia store, pretending to be his obedience, and several of Liu Ji's subordinates pretending to be guards, a group of more than ten people, plus more than 20 pack horses, became a typical caravan traveling through the Western Regions, Tianzhu, and Tubo.

In this group of people, except for Liu Ji himself, all of them are aliens, neither Zhang Wuyuan nor Xu Guangjing have brought them, because what they are going to is a completely unfamiliar place, and any Han people may cause unnecessary trouble, if it is not for him, Liu Ji himself should not come.

Zhangxiong is the place where the Tubo people regard the heart of the heart, just like the Longyou of the Tang Dynasty.

Dressed in the same way as him, with a wooden bow on his back, a dark and thin child sat on his shoulder, shaking his little feet and shaking the ground, it was his daughter Dolma, who looked like a shepherd's child at this time.

This little girl is not only bold, but also very clever, and she doesn't need to be overly protected, bringing her makes it even more real, which became the reason why Liu Ji nodded at the end.

Kang Laosi sat on a horse, compared with his figure, this kind of horse specially used for the mountains, it looked a little funny, almost straight feet can support the ground, but he is not as leisurely as Liu Ji, looking around nervously, as if he is afraid that a team of Tubo people will jump out somewhere.

This is going deep behind enemy lines.

He Bolao City at least one Shijia old shop is a response, this way walked for seven or eight days, all stayed in the wilderness, saw the village did not dare to enter, encountered the city all by hiding, seeing more and more boundless, I don't know when it is a head.

What's more, when I go so deep, I don't know what the plan of the master is to fall to the bottom, and I don't know the bottom in my heart.

Soon, Liu Ji answered his doubts, and the whole group was called together, pointed to a mountain in the distance, and said: "After that mountain, it is the Bazha Duo City of the Tibetans, which is considered big in this area, and there will definitely be Sogdian merchants in it, and we need to send someone to inquire." ”

"Won't you go into the city?" Kang Laosi asked.

"If you can avoid it, you can avoid it, what we are looking for is not there." Liu Ji shook his head: "Two news." ”

"The first is what the outcome of the war is, whether the Tubo people have been defeated, and the second is to find a place to go, which should be near here."

The previous meaning is easy to understand, and it is also a matter of concern to everyone in the group, except for Liu Ji and his subordinates, whether it is a stubborn or a stone guy, they all hope that Datang will win and give them a solid support.

"What kind of place is it?"

"The abode of Princess Jincheng, a castle or a town."

His words made everyone look at each other, not because of how mysterious this place was, but how did he know that the princess's residence would be here?

You must know that it was a man who had been dead for thirteen years, and the age of this lord was less than twenty.

Why did he go there, not out of curiosity, but Liu Ji had a question in his heart, which may only be solved by looking at it with his own eyes.

Dozens of miles away from a dirt mountain, the whole mountain has neither vegetation nor shape, as if artificially split with a knife, the whole side has been hollowed out, made into a Buddha cave.

Zeng Jiuniang, who was still dressed in the costume of a Tibetan woman, folded her hands and knelt on a futon, chanting words in her mouth.

“...... Bodhisattva is based on Prajnaparamita, the mind is free of obstacles, there are no obstacles, there is no terror, away from upside-down dreams, and in the end, Nirvana, the Buddhas of the three worlds have attained the three bodhisattvas according to Prajnaparamita. ”

A maid waited for a while, and in the interval between her finished reading, she bent down and whispered in her ear, "Lady, the fourth child is back." ”

Zeng Jiuniang bowed again, raised her head in a daze, and looked at the stone statue carved on the mountain wall, which was a Buddha with a golden crown, with a white face and a smile, and after a while, she stood up with the support of the maid.

Outside the cave, the entourage named Xiao Si was already waiting there, and when he saw their figures, he stepped forward to salute.

"Lady, there is news from the city that the Tubo people have been defeated."

Zeng Jiuniang didn't look surprised, frowned and asked, "What about the Tang people, where are they?" ”

"I have just crossed the Great Bolu and are heading towards the hinterland."

"What about that person?"

"There is no definite news yet, Xiao Wu stays in the city, and any movement will come back."

Zeng Jiuniang didn't speak again, quietly glanced at the river valley in the distance, and turned to go in the opposite direction.
