Chapter 187: Chill
A day later, Jilong Zongga fled back to Gongtang City, and was relieved to see the crowd of people in the city from a distance, and his own flag still fluttering as before.
This time he fled, and many people followed him one after another, and he didn't have time to count, and he didn't enter the city for a day, and he was always a little frightened, and along the mountain road, he took the remnants of the soldiers, and soon approached the city gate.
It was early in the morning, and the defenders on the walls looked weak, and most of them were leaning their backs to them, waiting for their replacements, but the gates were opened, and it seemed that they had discovered their banners, and they had spared no tongue.
The only strange thing is that no one came out to greet him, Jilong Zongga didn't care much, his deputy, most of the time had not woken up at this time, the city gate was in sight, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and the speed of the horse was getting faster and faster.
Entering through the city gate, the narrow streets were empty, and the merchants and houses on both sides were all closed, which made him feel a little strange, and Jilong Zongga turned back sharply on the horse, and the situation of the defenders on the city wall suddenly entered his eyes.
People are still those people, and he may not be able to name each of them, but he will have a general impression, but his tight body is motionless, the expression on his face is very strange, and the most important thing is that everyone's eyes are miserable and white, and there is no focus in it!
Jilong Zongga only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, soaring over his back, and straight to his brain, these defenders were clearly dead!
His pupils dilated for a moment, and a cry reached his throat, only to be interrupted by a person flying in the air.
It was a round ball, and Jilong Zongga instinctively turned his head, and the ball flew past him, fell beside him, and rolled for a while before stopping.
The moment he saw things, he only felt that his heart was about to jump out, his hands and feet were cold, his mind was dizzy, and he almost fell headlong.
It was a human head, his deputy, looking at him with a pair of eyes open, dead and blinding!
Jilong Zongga was so frightened that he subconsciously planned to turn the horse's head, but at this moment, countless figures suddenly appeared on the empty street, and behind the dead people who were supported by wood on the city wall, mountain people also poured out, aiming rows of shining arrows at them.
"Close the door and let the dogs go." Kang Laosi walked in from outside the city, and the mountain people behind him stepped forward one after another, pushing the two heavy wooden doors up, and also closing the way of life for Jilong Zongga and others.
Liu Ji was only half a day behind them, and before the sun had set, the elephant males of the brigade appeared under Gongtang City, led by a few people on horseback, looking at the magnificent mountain city together.
A bright red banner fluttered above the city, striking among the earthy yellow mountains, the city walls, and the gray-white heaven and earth, the color of a powerful empire, which fascinated everyone.
These people around him, Yang Yu's head can't be raised to the sky, Chen Jin and other Tang sergeants are domineering, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu are two people who don't know what their identity should be, their eyes flashed with complicated looks, and those Xiangxiong leaders were in awe.
Liu Ji's heart has mixed feelings, the land under his feet is the most familiar place for him in the later life, but this time and space, it is the first time, stepping on his own land, thousands of years of vicissitudes, like a moment, people don't know whether it is reality or a dream for a while.
"Subordinates, there are a total of eighty-three soldiers in the Qiankeng Warriors, and they have seen the Commander."
"Kang Huaishun, the head of the guest army, with the heads of all departments, more than 4,700 people, greeted your nobles."
His thoughts didn't last long, and he was interrupted by one wave after another of ushers, Zhang Wuyuan, Xu Guangjing and his subordinates on one side, and Kang Laosi and the mountain people on the other side of the road, sandwiched the road to greet each other.
Liu Ji didn't get off the horse, just greeted them with his eyes, and when he saw Kang Laosi, the latter bowed slightly, and he knew that the matter had been done.
Facing everyone's eyes, Liu Ji led people to wind up, and bursts of cheers sounded in his ears, victory can bring prestige, this is the most direct and effective way, to subdue the hearts of these soldiers, there is no other way to go.
As for those aliens, his image is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even the Elephant Male behind him is excited, if it is not for the blessing of the gods, how can he burst out with huge energy in such a young body?
Everything that happened here soon spread back to Zhangxiong's hometown, and rumors of one kind or another were circulating everywhere in the Qionglong Silver City, and the Tang and Nibharats had entered the hinterland of the Tibetans, and what was their choice?
In the small courtyard of the city, the elderly queen looked at Jisang Yangcuo, who was kneeling opposite her, as if she did not know her.
She was still dressed in the clothes of the Tibetans, and she was gracefully fiddling with the tea set, these things, which originated from that powerful empire, I don't know when, became popular among the upper classes of the Tubo people, and spread here.
The silverware comes from the craftsmen of Tianzhu, and the style is very elaborate, with intricate ornamentation carved on it, which is a story about the Buddha, Buddhism is not the mainstream in Zhangxiong, and they are here like the Tibetans, who are popular here with another doctrine that originated in the local area.
Legend has it that Buddhism, which originated in Nepal, has a certain foundation in Tianzhu, but the woman in front of her did not learn it from there, but her home country.
"Please." Zeng Jiuniang completed a complete set of tea brewing, which was neither different from the Han method nor the popular one in the plateau, but mixed with some of her own creations.
The old woman picked up the cup, smelled the refreshing aroma, and exclaimed, "Tea is really a good thing." ”
"If the queen likes it, it's fine." Zeng Jiuniang picked up a cup by herself and put it to her lips, but she didn't take a sip.
The old woman put down the cup and looked at her: "Why do you hate him so much?" ”
"You know why, so why bother?"
"Now that he's finished, have you got your wish?"
"There are still a lot of people alive." Zeng Jiuniang's tone was very flat.
"You can't go on like this, you're going to ruin us all."
The old woman's expression was a little anxious, and Zeng Jiuniang still said unhurriedly: "Everyone has their own choice. ”
"Destruction is one of them."
The old woman looked at her for a moment, then shook her head: "You make me very embarrassed. ”
"Let them in, I don't blame you." Zeng Jiuniang took a sip of the liquid in the cup.
"You know that I'm not here to arrest you, but you can't stay in this city anymore, so you better go back to you."
When the old woman had finished speaking, she stood up, and as for the cup of tea, not a drop was touched.
