Chapter 115: Hunting

Nibora is a very peculiar country, from the geographical location to the national environment, it seems that nothing has changed for thousands of years, after the unification of the continent from the chaos, it has become a gap to survive, and when the Tibetan people are strong, they naturally have to rely on the past, but they can always maintain some kind of independence.

In the eleventh year of Tianbao, the country was under the clamp of the Tubo people, and when Liu Ji and his party arrived, they saw such a scene.

Almost all the checkpoints are divided between the Nibharats and the Tibetans, but it seems that the commercial taxes received may not be half of the family, at least when they arrived at the capital of the Nibharats, the only one left in the flock was held in Zhuoma's arms, of course, this one could not be saved in the end, because it was too small, it was either made into vegetables or thrown into the sheepfold to be milked.

Kang Laosi put on a brocade robe, and there were really some arrogant wealthy merchants in the Western Regions, which was not very common in this place, because the location of Nibora played a role in connecting Tianzhu and Tubo, and from the Western Regions, whether it was to go south to Tianzhu or east to Tubo, there was no need to go through.

When he generously threw out a piece of golden bread, that is, a gold coin, he rented a large area here, including several single-story earthen houses and a courtyard for feeding pack horses, which was enough for a dozen of them to stay.

Sending away the locals, Liu Ji gathered everyone together and began to assign tasks: "Two things, one is to inquire about the customs here, political trends, military structure, and the deployment of defenses in various places, in short, everything, in the shortest possible time, to be familiar with it and understand it, and the situation of the Tubo people is the priority." ”

"Second, contact some businessmen from Tianzhu and ask them about the situation over there, Lao Kang, you can do it yourself, it doesn't matter if you spend some money, the most important thing is not to expose your secrets."

"The ...... of the lord" Kang Laosi was about to respond, and suddenly saw Liu Ji's eyes, and immediately changed his title: "I'll go now." ”

Soon most of the people took the order and left, and they didn't even have the time to rest, Liu Ji also had no choice, the time spent on the road, it was more than ten days at once, and the efficiency of this time and space made him feel extremely painful, so he could only do his best.

In history, the battle of Dabolu is over here, Feng Changqing because of this credit, sat firmly in the position of the envoy of the four towns, and a year later concurrently served as the protector of the capital of Beiting, and in the remaining two years of his term, he made every effort to consolidate the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's rule in the Western Regions, and it was precisely because of these critical two years that after the chaos, the entire Western Regions, especially Anxi, persisted for another fifty years.

You know, it was 50 years when the backup was cut off and the news was not continued!

Liu Ji believes that every step he takes now is creating history, and this small country under his feet is the starting point.

Nibora, the earliest entry into the history of China, is due to an accidental historical event, occurred in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, that is, the end of the first prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, when Princess Wencheng had just entered the Qiang, the relationship between the Tang and Tibetan countries was still harmonious, and the male lord of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo, had just completed the threat to the Nibharat, so that the relationship between the two countries gradually developed towards vassals.

In this year, a person named Wang Xuance followed the Tang Dynasty delegation to Tianzhu through the Western Regions, that is, the big and small Bolu, and Tianzhu at that time had been divided into a bunch of large and small countries, and the Tang people were distinguished from above, middle, and down, also because those messy names were too troublesome.

The later events are well known, a rebellion in another country, tens of thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, he single-handedly ran to the capital of Nepal with the identity of a deputy envoy, and in the name of the Tang Dynasty envoy, let Nepal and its suzerain, Tubo, jointly send troops, and wiped out the small country of rebellion in one fell swoop, creating a unique miracle in diplomatic history.

The place where this miracle took place is here, and its name is "Kantipur", which was not called this name in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, and it was not so prosperous.

Its location, roughly similar to Kathmandu, the capital of the later Nepalese country, is located in the Kathmandu valley with a pleasant climate, which is the southern foot of the Himalayas, the tall mountain range blocks the cold wind of the Qingqiang Plateau, and the warm and humid air currents of the Indian Ocean bring abundant rainfall, which is a very good place to live.

Walking on the streets of this city of miracles, Liu Ji is full of confidence, and he may not be able to create miracles.

As far as the eye can see, compared to Kathmandu in later generations, Kantipur a thousand years ago seems to be small, still full of gray, there are not many high-rise buildings, even tall stupas are rare, because it has not yet ushered in its most prosperous period.

The dusty streets meander up the mountain road, and in front of him, Zhuoma is jumping up and down to look left and right, and all kinds of different customs in different places and places have a different kind of attraction for children.

Walking behind with a wooden bow on his back, carrying a few hunted animal skins on his shoulders, Liu Ji was dressed like him, carrying some smoked meat in his hand, the neighborhood they walked through looked very dilapidated, and the pedestrians on the road, most of them were not in good health, and there was hardly any one wearing shoes.

The three of them walked farther and farther, almost to the edge of the city, seeing that further up, it was a dense forest, Liu Ji suddenly stopped, only to see that on the opposite road, two Tubo people stopped a few men dressed as mountain people, he quickly grabbed Zhuoma, and then gave the bold a look, and took them to hide behind the trees on the side, only to show their heads and look over there.

The Tubo people and a few mountain people for a while, robbed their mountain goods, nothing more than some roe deer, wild deer and the like, listening to the faint words, the Tubo people are forcibly collecting taxes from their cottages, an older, white beard mountain people begged bitterly, but to no avail.

Not long after, the things were still snatched away, two Tibetan people carrying mountain goods, scolding and scolding, those mountain people were very angry, but under the persuasion of the old man, they had to turn back, listen to their tone, and point to these prey, in exchange for rations and other necessities in the village.

When the mountain people walked away, Liu Ji frowned, and had a thought, he pulled the little girl over, and commanded softly: "Keep up with those people, if you meet a child about the same age as you, tell them that the Tubo people are dead, and they may come to the village to take revenge, and leave immediately after the news, do you remember the road." ”

Dolma nodded, didn't ask anything, and ran in the direction where the mountain people had disappeared.

"You want to kill those two Tibetans?" Douguli saw his intentions at a glance, and Liu Ji nodded.

"If a hunter wants to kill someone, he can't let people see it, he can't use a knife or a bow and arrow, it's too loud, it's better not to make a sound, do you have any good way?"

Killing two defenseless people, Liu Ji is confident that he can do it empty-handed, but then he can't move on to the next step, and he is also a mountain man, so he will definitely have another way.

Sure enough, he untied the belt around his waist, and Liu Ji saw clearly that it was not an ordinary belt, but a lasso: "Use this, a smaller prey, better than a bow and arrow." ”

Perhaps because the reputation of the Tubo people was too bad, there were no more pedestrians along the way, and the two quietly touched forward, almost at the same time behind the Tubo people, before acting, Liu Ji also patted each other's shoulders.

The Tubo people who were swaggering and walking, in any case, could not have imagined that someone would do something here, and the sharp lasso first wrapped a man's neck from behind, and at the same time, Liu Ji also used a belt to tie the target's head, and then quickly tightened it.

"Hmm!"

The Tubo people who were caught off guard only had time to spit out a single sound, and then broke it in their throats, and the two slowly lowered their already limp bodies to the tree, picked up the mountain goods they had robbed, and quickly ran in the opposite direction.
