The boy in brocade is arrogant and self-confident, but this group of rough men is arrogant but has no strength.

The fight in the Anyuan Inn ended quickly, although these arrogant men were strong and strong, and they might be very powerful on the battlefield, but they were a little worse off in the hall and fighting.

On the other hand, the servants of the boy in brocade were all dexterous and outstanding swordsmanship, and they quickly won the victory. And left blood-red marks on these impudent wild men.

Of course, they are also very measured, and they do not want to put people to death, so they show mercy to their subordinates.

"Get out!" The boy in brocade snorted coldly, full of majesty.

Although those rough men were very unconvinced, the strength of the other party was there, and they muttered, and they had lost their previous arrogance. Reluctantly retreating to the door, one of them seemed to want to come back and fight to the death, but was stopped by his companion, and then muttered a few words. Lin Zhao didn't understand at all, only to see that the rough man left a resentful look and left very angrily.

"Tubo!" Lin Zhao couldn't understand it, but one of the guide soldiers accompanying him heard it clearly.

Lin Zhao and the brocade-clothed boy were both shocked, their expressions moved slightly, how could the Tubo people appear in the Great Dispersion Pass? And so arrogant? Who the hell is it? Where did you get the confidence to be so arrogant?

"What did they just say?" Lin Zhao asked softly.

"In Huilang, some people say that big things are important, don't delay!" The guide soldier immediately replied.

What's the big deal? What's the big deal? Although it may be some ordinary Tibetan people. But because he happened to be an envoy to Tibet, not to mention that these people were still carrying weapons, so arrogant, it seemed extraordinary.

Lin Zhao kept an eye on it, what about that brocade-clothed boy, when the title "Lang Zhong" came into his ears, he suddenly moved, and looked at Lin Zhao intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was interested.

In fact, from just now, he began to pay attention to Lin Zhao. can be as stable as Mount Tai between the sword light and sword shadow, not moving at all, without a little fear, just this calmness can be seen that this person is extraordinary.

And the servants around him are all good hands, and the boy in brocade is holding a sword, and he is a person who knows martial arts, which can be seen at a glance. The most important thing is that I also carry a guide who can speak Tibetan, which is even more special when combined.

The boy in brocade became more and more interested in Lin Zhao, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Tai, I'm sorry to be the right talent, I really don't want to disturb Brother Tai's meal in Yaxing, I will invite this meal today, how about I apologize a little?" ”

"That's it, thank you!" Lin Zhao smiled and agreed, while carefully observing the brocade-clothed boy. She looks fair, handsome and delicate, and her voice is soft, looking like a woman. But the gestures are quite atmospheric, and the surname and mind are not at all like a weak little woman. And the chest, which seems to be flat, not like a ......

Maybe it's really a man, and his appearance is more feminine, and he can only be described by the word "male and female"! This is not important, but it is the identity and actions of this person that make Lin Zhao more curious!

"Brother Tai use slowly, go first, and there will be a period later!" Lin Zhao was already full of wine and food, then said goodbye and left, and after going out, he ordered: "Bozhou, find a way to find out the origin of this group of people, as well as those Tubo people......"

"Yes!"

Lin Zhao always felt that this brocade boy was unusual, and he had a strong premonition in his heart that they would meet each other again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The shopkeeper of Anyuan Inn watched Lin Zhao and the others leave, and then watched the brocade boy and his party with a dumb eye, the fight of the right talents, the tables and stools, cups, plates and dishes in the store were damaged a lot, which made him very distressed.

After the boy in brocade saw it, his eyes signaled, and immediately a servant handed over a piece of gold, and said, "Boss, this is compensation for you, is it enough?" ”

"Enough...... Enough to ......" The boss was immediately overjoyed, a piece of gold was already comparable to the income of several months.

The servant said: "Go and prepare a few upper rooms and clean them!" ”

"Yes!"

The boy in brocade didn't seem to be very interested, and after hastily eating the meal, he returned to the room! More than a dozen servants also entered the outer hall with them, obviously there was something very important to discuss!

"Seven... Qilang, the Tubo people have missed the appointment, we still ...... back"

It seems that the seventh-oldest boy in brocade said: "No, how can we go back empty-handed like this?" If you come out, you should do the eldest brother a little favor! ”

"But they didn't come when they made an appointment to meet at Dasanguan, and we have nothing to do!" Hu Cong's leader Ah Chang was also quite helpless, and then said resentfully: "Hate Li Fugui, there is a problem on Huanqing Road, but we have to bear the consequences, it is really too much." Isn't it just that you have a good relationship with the prince, hum......"

"Forget it, it's already happened, it's useless to talk about it!" The boy in brocade was very rational and said: "At the moment, we can only find a way to solve it as much as possible and recover the loss, otherwise the Privy Council will blame it, and the eldest brother will be responsible!" ”

"But the Tubo people have broken the appointment, and we can't help it!"

The boy in brocade shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, since they don't want to come to Dasanguan, then we will go to Lanzhou, or even Hehuangqing Tang City......"

"To Tibet? Shichiro, never! Hu Cong immediately dissuaded: "Will ...... Da Lang has explained that he can't let Shichiro get into danger, and Dasanguan is already the limit. What's more, this trip to Tubo is far away, Longyou and Hehuang area, and even Qinfeng Road are not peaceful, but a few of us want to get to Qingtang City smoothly, but I am afraid that it is not easy.

After all, we have limited manpower, and it's okay to guard Qilang in Guanzhong and Shaanxi/West Road, but if we go out of the Dasan Pass, even if we only encounter a small group of horse thieves, we will be helpless, and it is really not safe! ”

"Not really, right?" The boy in brocade seems to be very persistent!

Ah Chang said: "Also, the Tubo people we offended today don't know what their identities are, after all, they are in the realm of other people, and they will inevitably take care of it......"

"I've already decided, Lanzhou or Hehuang, I must go!" The boy in brocade insisted: "Since you have promised, you must help the eldest brother do it!" ”

"I fully understand Shichiro's feelings, and Daro won't blame you either. When you go to Hehuang, safety cannot be guaranteed, you can't do things, and in the end you threaten your own safety, it's not worth it! Not only will it not help, but Dalang will also worry about you and even feel guilty for Shichiro......"

"You don't have to worry about safety, who said that a dozen of us can't get to Hehuang safely?" A confident smile appeared on the corner of the boy's mouth.

"Shichiro has a way?" Ah Chang was confused, more than a dozen people single-handedly broke into the river, too child's play, right?

The boy in brocade said: "That's nature, do you remember the young man who would dine with us?" ”

"The one who asked Shichiro for wine?"

"Not bad!" The boy in brocade smiled and asked, "Don't you think he's special?" ”

"Speaking of which, others are afraid that the sword has no eyes and will harm the pond fish, so they dodge one after another, but he is as steady as Mount Tai and does not move at all." Ah Chang said: "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, it's really a bit special, at least I have the courage to be brave, but what does this have to do with us going to Hehuang?" ”

"It's not just courage, haven't you paid attention to the people around him? But they are all first-class masters, and their kung fu is not below you, or even surpassed! The boy in brocade said: "Also, the people accompanying you know the Tibetan language, the most important thing!" I overheard someone call him Langzhong! ”

"Lang Zhong?" Ah Chang was a little surprised, he knew that Shichiro's ears were extremely sharp, and it was not surprising to hear some whispered whispers.

"Yes!" The boy in brocade asked, "Do you look at him like a doctor who looks at and hears and asks and cuts, and prescribes medicine?" ”

Ah Chang pondered and replied, "Si Sven's, but not that feeling......"

"So, he can only be a ......"

"Officer!" Ah Chang let out a low sigh, and finally realized that the young man Shichiro was talking about was really not ordinary.

The practice of medicine was called "Wei Langzhong" from the Song Dynasty, although it was not so common. More often than not, it is a name for certain officials of the imperial court, especially the Six Ministries. Under Shangshu and Shilang is Langzhong, who can be regarded as a high-ranking official.

The boy in brocade said: "Langzhong, an entourage who can speak Tubo, is courageous, and he is so young, and he appears in Dasanguan at this time, so it is obvious who he is!" ”

"Rite Lang Zhong Lin Zhao!" Ah Chang remembered something and immediately reacted!

"When we set off, we got the news that the imperial court sent Lin Zhao of the Ministry of Rites to envoy Hehuang Tubo, and I heard that this Lin Lang was a weak crown year. He once went to Liao State, and he was also an official in the local area, and he did many important things, he was brave and strategic, and his reputation was prominent! ”

The boy in brocade said: "Now the conditions in all aspects are very similar to it, and the calculation is almost the same, so it is very likely to be Lin Langzhong who sent an envoy to Tibet!" ”

"What do you mean?" Ah Chang has already understood that Shichiro just wants to make a fuss about Lin Zhao!

"It's easy!" The boy in brocade said: "He is going to envoy Hehuang to Tibet, we happen to go together, and the mission is escorted by the forbidden army." It's not a lot of people, but it's doable to deal with horse thieves along the way!

On the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and Tubo, even the Tangut people did not dare to attack the mission blatantly, so follow them and we will be safe! ”

"But can they agree?" Ah Chang was slightly worried about this.

The boy in brocade said, "Why not?" The confident smile on the corner of his mouth made Ah Chang believe that Shichiro was already in his chest!

"Go and find out if the mission is near Dasanguan? It's best to be able to figure out their itinerary! ”

"Yes!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After resting for two days at Dasanguan, the mission took care of all the things that should be purchased, and embarked on the road to the west again.

Now it is already on Qinfeng Road, which is the westernmost territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and then west past Longyou, sticking to the Hexi Corridor and starting to go up the plateau. Finally, they arrived at Qingtang City along the Huangshui River, which was their established route!

Before leaving, Lin Zhao made another mobilization speech: "Soldiers, until now, we have been walking on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. With the care of the magistrate, we had no worries about food and clothing along the way, and we were also very safe. But after the Great Dispersal Pass, the road behind will gradually start to become more difficult.

After two days of rest, I hope that everyone will cheer up and be prepared to deal with the hardships and possible dangers of the road, and not be as comfortable as now! ”

This is exactly what Lin Zhao is worried about, from Bianjing to Dasanguan, perhaps the journey is too smooth, and the enthusiasm and vigilance of the soldiers seem to be gradually declining. This is not a good sign, so it is necessary to warn before leaving the country. It's just that it's not easy to say whether it can be effective, and you have to continue to remind and be more careful on the way.

"Bozhou, what a snack you have on the road!" The march still has to be carried out by a professional like Su An, and Lin Zhao observes with a learning mentality.

"Don't worry, Childe!" Su An seems to enjoy this kind of talk, maybe he has stayed in the forbidden army for too long and is too aggrieved. Now that he has returned to the northwest that he is familiar with, he is particularly interested in marching in the field.

Not long after leaving the Dasan Pass, a group of more than ten people was found on the road, which seemed to be blocked by the damage of the carriage. When the soldiers who opened the road found out about the situation, they immediately reported it.

After Su An rushed to investigate the situation, he found out that it was the former who met the boy in brocade at the Anyuan Inn. In view of the special features of this person and the explanation of the son, Su An did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone to report to Lin Zhao!

Boy in brocade? It's so interesting!

"Brother Tai, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!" Lin Zhao couldn't help but admire his hunch, it was so accurate! At a glance, the boy in brocade has changed a lot from yesterday!

A brocade dress has been changed, and he is wearing an ordinary coarse cloth clothes, which just looks relatively clean, but it is obviously very suitable for long travels......

Lin Zhao guessed that this person might be a child of a wealthy family in the Guanzhong area, who was high-end and powerful in the Dasan Pass, and ordinary people didn't dare to provoke him at all. But now that it's out of the customs, you have to keep a low profile so as not to attract attention, which is completely understandable.

It's just a coincidence that he is here today, right?

"Jinyi" Gongzi said: "Yes, it can be regarded as fate, but I didn't expect Brother Tai to be a court official." In the next yesterday, it was said that there were eyes and did not know Mount Tai, which was really disrespectful! ”

"Brother, what's wrong?" Lin Zhao saw the crooked carriage on the ground and asked in a deep voice.

"To be honest, we are medicinal herb merchants in Chang'an, and there were originally merchants who sent some precious snow lotus and cordyceps to Dasanguan. It's a pity that the merchants haven't arrived for some reason, so we just need to go to Lanzhou and even Huangzhou in person! It's just that I didn't expect that it was not good to go out, and not long after I got out of the customs, the carriage broke down! ”

"Just a few of you, you are so weak in preparation, and you still want to go to Huangzhou?" The guide couldn't help but laugh.

"There's no way, it's urgent, these are all tributes to be sent to Bianjing, you have to hurry!"

"Tribute? Dare to ask what to call it! Lin Zhao couldn't help but be a little curious!

The "Jinyi" son hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Xin Wenzhe, the seventh in the family, you can call me Qilang directly!" (To be continued.) )
