Eight months have passed......

Ever since Lai Xing'er ordered Qian Da Shun to hand over to Nazha the handwritten letter written by Master Gongga to Tubo Da Lang Ge asking for the release of the forest and the return of the trees to the court, the letter has sunk like a stone into the sea, and there has been no news of it.

Lai Xing'er had no choice but to leave Master Gongga in Qian Dashun's camp, and no one expected that this stay would last for eight months.

At first, Guru Gongga was anxious to get rid of Laixing'er's detention and wanted to return to Tibet as soon as possible, but after a long time, there was no hope of escaping the predicament, so he simply gave up this idea in his heart and devoted himself to practicing Buddhism in the big tent where he was detained.

In addition to practicing shadowless footwork and swordsmanship every day, Lai Xing'er often went to the big tent where Master Gongga was detained to talk to him. Although Guru Gongga and he were on two hostile sides, he was also surprised that Lai Xing'er had a far more understanding of the Dharma than ordinary people, and gradually he deliberately passed on some Buddhist scriptures to him, and the two of them, one old and one young, got along well.

During these eight months, in addition to practicing martial arts every day and listening to Guru Gongga's teachings on Buddhism, there were several other things that made Lai Xing'er very happy.

One of them is that Jiang Zhongshi lived up to expectations and successfully domesticated nearly 30 harrier eagles that could transmit letters between two places thousands of miles apart. In this way, there is a reliable, secret and fast way to transmit messages between people scattered all over the country, and at the same time, it also makes it a reality for Lai Xing'er to sit in Cangsongyuan and command people from all walks of life.

Second, in the course of eight months, Qian Dashun sent various men and horses to the various sub-divisions of Longyou Prison not only preliminarily found out the specific number and distribution of horses grazing in the entire Longyou Prison, but also developed more than a dozen local Han people from the sub-divisions to join the ranks of resisting the rule of Tibet. Lai Xing'er and Qian Dashun roughly estimated that after eight months of development and growth, the number of Ding Zhuang who could gather to fight against Tibet was close to 2,000.

Third, the remnants of the Crane Army led by Luo San'er have also developed and grown. Since Lai Xing'er came to Liangzhou and joined the remnants of the Crane Army led by Luo San'er, this small force that was scattered by the Tubo people and lost contact with the imperial court for many days seemed to have regained its backbone, and openly erected the military flag of the Divine Crane Army in the dangerous valley of Tiantai Mountain, and recruited the sergeants of the Divine Crane Army who were scattered by the Tubo people and scattered and hidden among the people.

Fourth, it was the first time that the Laixing'er Department used the method of flying harriers to pass on books, and successfully got in touch with the Chang'an Imperial Court, which was thousands of miles away. According to the emperor's edict brought back by the harrier eagle with high hard work, Lai Xing'er's department was specially ordered by the emperor to allow Jianfan to be the first capital of the crane, and there were 10,000 soldiers in Fan, and Ren Lai Xing'er was the commander of the soldiers and horses and the commander of the crane, Luo Yuanqi was the deputy general, and Jiang Zhongshi and Qian Dashun were the generals of the crane.

In this way, after more than 200 days of lurking and hard work, Lai Xing'er finally gained a firm foothold in Liangzhou, and was rewarded by the imperial court for Jianfan.

However, in the face of faces full of excitement and eagerness, Lai Xing'er did not give the order to erect the capital flag and gather people from all walks of life. Because, he is still waiting for major news from two directions, one south and one north.

In addition to the southern part of Tibet, there has not been any news of the return of the forest trees to Chang'an, Lai Xing'er specially asked Jingyun Cong to protect it, and Yang Jingzhao released it, and the Uighur thief Bo Hu, who came to the western Xinjiang with him, did not bring back any information for eight months, which made Lai Xing'er feel a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Only Lai Xing'er knew in his heart that whether the mission of Bohu's trip could be achieved as he wished would be related to the ultimate success or failure of his trip to Liangzhou, so he didn't wait for Bohu's side to hear from him, and Lai Xing'er refused to rush and blindly put up the banner publicly, and gathered a team to confront the Tubo army head-on.

God doesn't always get what people want. Seeing that it was autumn again, according to the practice of previous years, the nomadic states of the Western and Southern Regions usually chose to launch military operations against Middle-earth at this time to plunder the autumn harvest of the Hetao Plain and the Guanzhong Plain. According to the exact news obtained by various people, Tubo had sent 100,000 troops from its western border to the north to join the Tuyuhun tribe, and as soon as the northern Turks had news, they marched together to launch a war of annihilation against the Middle-earth court, recaptured Chang'an, and captured the emperor of Middle-earth alive.

However, Bohu still had no news, but news came from Tubo in the south that Lin Shu had been released back to Chang'an.

When Lai Xing'er heard the news that Lin Shu was released, he immediately ordered Jiang Zhongshi to release the flying harrier back to Chang'an to verify the authenticity of the news from the imperial court. A few days later, the flying harrier brought back a reply from the imperial court: Lin Shu had entered the realm of Shu and was on his way back to Chang'an.

When Lai Xing'er received a definite reply from the imperial court, he was naturally overjoyed and personally went to the camp of Master Gongga to inform him of the news. Guru Gongga was meditating with his eyes closed, and when he heard that the letter he had written to his nephew Lange eight months ago had finally been settled, he couldn't help but feel happy and sad, and two lines of old tears came out of his eyes, holding Lai Xing'er's hand tightly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In the past few months, Guru Gongga has put life and death on the line, and the only hope in his heart is that after his death, his bones can be returned to Tibet for burial. Suddenly, one day, I learned that I was about to be exchanged back to my homeland, and it was as unbelievable as if I had been reincarnated.

Lai Xing'er made a clear and unmistakable promise to Master Gongga that he would be released back to Liangzhou City within three days.

However, when Lai Xing'er announced the decision in public at a meeting convened by Luo San'er's remnants of the Crane Army the next day, he was met with almost unanimous opposition from his generals.

Among them, a group of generals who had newly joined the Shenhe Army, led by Qian Dashun, advocated that Tubo and the Turkic and Tuyuhun states were about to launch a second major war, and that they should make full use of the special status of Master Gongga in Tubo to blackmail Tubo into discussing Langge and delay the time for Tubo to launch an offensive as much as possible. Therefore, this part of the general advocated that Guru Gongga continue to be held hostage.

The Genshin Crane Army General Zuo, led by Luo San'er, advocated that he should take the opportunity of releasing Master Gongga to lure the Tubo defender Nazha of Liangzhou City out of the city and ambush him. Therefore, although they did not explicitly oppose the release of Guru Gongga, if they did what they said, Guru Gongga would not be able to escape his life.

The two factions disagreed, and in the end, all the people present focused their anticipatory eyes on the Lord Coming Xing'er, hoping that he would speak up in support of his claim. (To be continued.) )
