Zhu Mingyang led everyone to stroll through the city, attracted by the strange things in the market.
Xu Yue'er and Gao Yanyan stopped at a blacksmith shop, but saw all kinds of weapons hanging in the blacksmith shop, many strange weapons that the two had never seen before.
Li Chunfeng stopped in front of the bookstall and picked up a book from the stall and read it carefully, he didn't expect that many Tibetan books were also marked with Chinese characters.
Cuicui stopped at a medicine stall, but saw that the ground was full of musk, rhinoceros horn, antelope horn and other precious medicines.
Zhu Mingyang didn't have the heart to wander around, because he always felt that the pedestrians on the road looked at him with a strange gaze, and he tried to find passers-by to ask, but none of them knew Chinese.
After a while, everyone bought a large bag of things and returned to Zhu Mingyang's side.
"Let's find an inn to rest first, and we'll find out how to get to the Potala Palace early tomorrow morning!" Zhu Mingyang looked around vigilantly and said to everyone.
"That's great!" Li Chunfeng agreed.
Although the city is very prosperous, there are not many inns because most of them are local Tibetans and there are not too many merchants and travelers.
Zhu Mingyang spent a long time and finally found an inn in the market, and everyone followed Zhu Mingyang into the inn.
Although the inn is not big but very clean, Zhu Mingyang glanced around, but his eyes were fixed on the wall of the inn, but he saw a portrait on the wall, and the person on the portrait turned out to be himself, but Zhu Mingyang didn't know the Tibetan next to the portrait.
"Husband, this portrait is not ......" Xu Yue'er saw at a glance that the portrait was Zhu Mingyang.
"Shhhh......h
"Objective, what do you want!" At this moment, a Tibetan who looked like a shopkeeper walked over.
"Huh! Do you know Chinese? Zhu Mingyang let go of his hand and looked at the shopkeeper in surprise!
"Guest! In our business, how can you do business if you don't learn a few more languages? The shopkeeper said in very non-standard Chinese.
"Let's get something to eat first, by the way, who's this image in your store?" What do these Tibetan words mean? Zhu Mingyang asked tentatively.
"Guest, you're just here! This is a notice issued by the imperial court, the Han man in the portrait kidnapped the big tribute theory, anyone who can catch this person will be rewarded with a small tribute, and the reward for killing this person will be a hundred taels of gold! Hey, why does the person in this portrait look so much like you! The shopkeeper suddenly stared at Zhu Mingyang.
was stared at by the shopkeeper like this, and everyone became nervous, as if they could hear the sound of a heartbeat.
Xu Yue'er's hand became restless, she quietly picked up the short sword, the short sword was already in the scabbard, Zhu Mingyang saw this and quickly held Xu Yue'er's plain hand with his hand, and the sword that had just been drawn returned to the scabbard.
"It's a pity that the person in the portrait has been caught by the imperial court, otherwise he would have made some money on you!" After a long time, the shopkeeper left in disappointment.
"It scares me so much! I didn't expect that the real Tubo is really wanted for you! Xu Yue'er patted her chest.
"Did you just hear what the shopkeeper said?" Zhu Mingyang asked in shock.
"He said that the person in the portrait kidnapped the Great Tribute Theory, and if he caught or killed the court, there was a reward!" Cuicui repeated the words of the shopkeeper.
"No, not that!" Zhu Mingyang shook his head gently.
"The shopkeeper said that the person on the portrait has been caught by the imperial court!" Li Chunfeng said slowly.
"Yes, that's it! Since I am the one who is wanted, who is the court caught, and who will impersonate me? Zhu Mingyang asked suspiciously.
"This is also where I wonder, since Gongzi is here, who is the one caught by Tubo?" Li Chunfeng also fell into deep thought.
"Alas! Since someone is a substitute for the dead, wouldn't it be great, we can now go to Songtsen Gampo with all our heart! Gao Yanyan Yanran said.
"Don't say it, don't say it! No wonder people on the street looked at me with strange eyes, it turned out that I was a wanted criminal! Zhu Mingyang smiled brightly.
After a while, the shopkeeper served a table of meals, but more than half of the dishes were yak meat, and the staple food was all barley.
Although they were a little unaccustomed to it, they kept hurrying during this time, and everyone was already hungry and thirsty, and after a while, the table full of food was swept away.
After dinner, Zhu Mingyang asked for a few upper rooms, and finally he could have ups and downs with his two wives again.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Zhu Mingyang got up, he didn't wake up Cuicui and Xu Yue'er, he cleaned up casually, and found the shopkeeper.
"Dian Xiaoer, here is our Datang copper coin, you should have seen it, I just want to ask you a few questions?" Zhu Mingyang arranged several copper plates on the table.
"Objective, if you have anything, just ask, I will tell you everything!" The shopkeeper looked at the copper plate on the table and said with a smile.
"First of all, let me ask you, does Songtsen Gampo live in the Potala Palace?" Zhu Mingyang asked.
"Songtsen Gampo?" The shopkeeper looked at Zhu Mingyang with a confused expression.
"Ugh! It's Zamp! Zhu Mingyang saw the confused cheeks of the shopkeeper and remembered that the shopkeeper would know the name of Songtsan Gampo.
"You're not early, Zampu does live in the Potala Palace!" The shopkeeper smiled and said.
"Second question, how to get to the Potala Palace?" Zhu Mingyang took out two copper plates from the table and threw them to the shopkeeper.
"Walk along the bazaar, go to the end, and walk along the bluestone brick road to the halfway up the hill is the Potala Palace!" The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said.
"Is there a guard in the Potala Palace?" Zhu Mingyang threw two more copper plates on the table to the shopkeeper.
"Of course, Zampu lives in the palace with the princess, and of course guards are needed to protect the safety!" The shopkeeper thought for a while and said.
"Last question, is there a way to meet Zamp?" Zhu Mingyang threw all the copper plates to the shopkeeper.
"Well! There are ways to do it, but it just depends on whether you have the ability or not! The shopkeeper took the copper coin and thought for a moment and said.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Mingyang came to his senses and asked carefully.
"Come here, I'll tell you!" The shopkeeper looked around and saw that there was no one, so he asked Zhu Mingyang to lean his ear over.
"I see, you're doing a great job!" Zhu Mingyang nodded happily after listening to the words of the shopkeeper.
Zhu Mingyang followed the instructions of the shopkeeper, and sure enough, he found the bluestone brick road at the end of the market, and along the step-by-step steps, Zhu Mingyang walked for a long time and finally saw the Potala Palace, but the Potala Palace was more magnificent than the distant view, Zhu Mingyang took a break and walked towards the palace gate......
