In the direction of the Qilian Mountains in the north, near the Dadou Pull Valley, news came that Tawang Gyatso's 100 men and horses had been defeated. Only then did Princess Zhuoma realize that she had been deceived by this cunning Tang Jun again.

They set fire to the mountain, but they quietly fled north, avoiding all her patrols. Princess Zhuoma, who has led the army to fight for many years, and is calm and calm in trouble, can't help but be a little annoyed.

This group of Tang troops wiped out a number of Tibetan tribes, destroyed the city of Fuqi, killed people like hemp, and captured the Da Tan Mang Buzhi.

If they are allowed to escape from under their noses like this, in the future, Zampu will be held accountable, and not only will she be punished, but I am afraid that even the entire Subi tribe will be affected by this.

The Subi tribe is the most powerful among the four major tribes of Tibet, and the soldiers and horses of Tubo are fed and paid, and half of them are out of Subi. In the past dynasties, Tubo Zampu was very jealous of the Subi Ministry, and tried his best to win it over on the surface, but secretly tried to weaken the Subi Ministry.

There were many people within Subi who did not accept the repressive rule of the Tibetans, and from time to time there were some small-scale rebellions, which made the suspicion between Zhuoma's father Wulingzan and the Tibetan Zanpu more and more serious.

Her father had been left in the Logos for a long time under various pretexts by Zampu, and he had little chance to return to the Subi Headquarters, and the tribal affairs were only taken care of by her and her brother Sinoluo.

Based on her understanding of Zampu, if this group of Tang troops escaped this time, Zampu was likely to further weaken the Subi tribe on the grounds that she deliberately set up with the enemy.

"Sonu, immediately gather troops and horses, and follow me after the enemy!"

"Yes, princess!" The general Sonu agreed loudly and hurried out of the tent.

At this time, Dawa, the female general beside Princess Zhuoma, hurriedly ran in and said to her, "Princess, there is a girl outside the camp who calls herself Mei Duo. Take the princess your golden knife and ask to see the princess. ”

"My golden knife?" Princess Dolma looked up. After seeing the golden knife in Dawa's hand, his expression changed greatly. The body suddenly bounced up, rushed down and snatched the golden knife, her eyes were firmly fixed on the blade, her face was excited, her hands trembled slightly, and she pulled out the blade little by little.......

On the body of the knife, when the four words "Subi Zhuoma" engraved in the Tibetan script came into her eyes, her eyes were already full of tears, and her hands trembled even more.

Dawa was amazed. She had been with Princess Dolma for ten years, and she had never seen her so excited, let alone her tears. What is hidden in this golden knife that makes the princess lose control of her emotions?

"Dawa, the girl who brought this golden sword, bring her in to me, go quickly!"

"Princess, I'll go—" Dawa hurriedly ran out.

Princess Dolma was the only one left in the big tent, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled. Flowing down. For so many years, she never wore women's clothes, although everyone envied her beauty. But she never regarded herself as a woman, and always showed herself in soft armor.

She rejected the wishes of Concubine Zampuna with her death, deepening the estrangement between Zampu and the Subi tribe. She's not sparing it either.

"Sihong, is that you? You're alive...... I knew you were still alive........." Princess Dolma muttered to herself. His fingers caressed the blade of the knife, as if pouring all his love into it. Tears fell on the blade of the knife one by one, splashing away.......

"Princess, I brought someone here."

It wasn't until Dawa's voice came from outside the tent that Princess Dolma quickly wiped away her tears, sat back on the blanket above, and said in a loud voice, "Bring her in." ”

The girl brought in by Dawa was so beautiful that Princess Zhuoma was a little surprised, she was like a naturally carved snow lotus, with a little timidity on her face, and hurriedly bowed after entering the account: "Meet Princess Zhuoma!" ”

Zhuoma suppressed his excitement and asked, "Your name is Mei Duo, right?" Where did you get this golden knife? ”

Mei Duo knelt on the ground, glanced at Princess Zhuoma, and quickly lowered her head, and replied in a low voice: "Back to Princess Zhuoma, I ......."

Mei Duo just started, and she couldn't help sobbing, and Princess Zhuoma was so anxious that she said, "Mei Duo, don't cry yet, tell me quickly, where did you get this golden knife?" ”

"Princess, the leader of the Tang army is called Li Ang, and the Tang soldiers under him call him Li Bingcao, I heard that he is the new science and technology scholar of the Tang Kingdom this year, but this person is very fierce, that is, he took fifty Tang soldiers and slaughtered so many of our tribes in a row, and my people were also killed by them, and I was taken captive by him......... Woohoo......"

"Meadow, don't cry, don't cry, go on."

"It wasn't until they heard that the princess had arrived with her troops and fled from the city in a hurry, that they let me go, and when he let me go, he gave me the golden sword, and let me come to the princess with it......."

"Tell me, what else did he tell you?" Princess Dolma's breathing became rapid.

"He said that he had no father or mother, but this golden knife had been by his side since he was a child, and there was a white jade wrench with two lines of poetry engraved on the wrench, and the inscription was a Hongzi ......"

"Ahh Princess Dolma exclaimed, and the golden knife in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.

"Princess, are you alright?" Dawa asked cautiously.

Princess Dolma came back to her senses, and with tears in her eyes, she commanded Dawa: "Dawa, you go and guard outside the tent, no one is allowed to approach without my order." ”

"Yes, Princess." Dawa was ordered to withdraw.

There were only two people left in the tent, Mei Duo and Princess Zhuoma, she stood up, went up to help Mei Duo, stroked her hair braids, and said, "Mei Duo, don't be sad, tell me quickly, why did he give me this golden knife, and what did he tell you?" Have you ever seen what he called the jade wrench? ”

Princess Dolma is the person Mei Duo admires the most, and she never expected that one day, Princess Dolma would hold her in her arms and comfort her like a daughter.

This made her forget her sadness and hatred for a while, and replied to Princess Zhuoma: "He took out the jade wrench and showed me it, and there were indeed two lines of characters on it, but I ....... I didn't recognize the Chinese characters, and I didn't know what was engraved on it." He said that these two things have been in him since he was a child, and they may have something to do with his background. Then let me come to the princess with the golden sword, and if she knows anything, please send a letter to him......"

"Meadow, have you told anyone about this?"

"Nope."

"Okay, remember, don't tell anyone, you can follow me in the future."

Subsequently, Princess Zhuoma ordered the army to set off overnight and rushed north to the area of the mouth of the Great Douba Valley in Qilian Mountain.

Early the next morning, Princess Zhuoma received news from Ziluo: Zanpu began a large-scale purge of the Dayan tribe in the name of betraying the Tibetans.

After hearing the news, Princess Dolma was worried, and Dawa, who was following her, couldn't help but ask, "Princess, do you believe that Da Yan is really treasonous?" ”

Princess Dolma shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter if we believe it or not, such a thing, as long as Zampu is suspicious, it will inevitably happen." ”

"The princess is worried that if she can't catch that Leon, will Zampu also blame us for the Subi tribe?"

Princess Dolma, who was worried, blurted out: "You can't catch it..."

"Huh?"

"I mean, Qilian Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, thousands of ravines, and dozens of Li Ang people hid in Qilian Mountain, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, how can it be so easy to catch them again."

"That's just as well. Princess, what shall we do? In case Zamp blames ...... for this"

"We'll talk about it then."

***

As Princess Zhuoma said, since Li Ang and they avoided in Qilian Mountain, they have disappeared like mud cows into the sea without a trace, and in the mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, it is impossible for the Tubo people to find out dozens of them.

In the past two days, Li Ang and they had a very quiet time in the mountains, Wu Xuan and a few wounded soldiers stayed to recuperate, and Li Ang took everyone to hunt in the mountains, and practiced his archery skills by the way.

There are a large number of wild animals in the mountains, red deer, blue horse chicken, blood pheasant, forest musk deer, roe deer, rock sheep, yellow sheep, foxes, rabbits, wild horses, horse bears, eagles, snow pheasants, leopards, horse chickens, etc., Murong and Shun with their accurate archery skills, all of them have gains, only Li Ang tossed for a long time, and has not shot a single prey.

However, as far as archery is concerned, his progress is still not small. This one traveled more than ten miles east along the ravine where they were hiding, and in a valley with abundant water and grass, they saw hundreds of wild horses grazing by the river.

None of these wild horses are large, but they have large heads, no forehead hair, and short ears. The head and back are burnt brown, the sides of the body are lighter, and the abdomen turns creamy yellow.

Murong Heshun, who is a native of Tuyuhun, said excitedly: "Such a large herd of wild horses is really rare! If we catch some and mate with our war horses, we can give birth to stronger new horse breeds. ”

Murong Heshun talked a lot, only to find that Li Ang was a little distracted when he looked at the wild horses.

"Li Bingcao, Li Bingcao!"

"Huh?" Leon came back to his senses, pointed to the river in the valley and asked, "Do you know what the river below is called and where it flows?" ”

Murong Heshun replied: "This place should not be far from the source, so I can't say for sure, but looking at the amount of water, this river is not small, if you can go down the river, according to its trend, you should be able to judge what kind of river it is." ”

"Downstream...... ...... downstream," Li Ang muttered, and then asked, "Is there a river in the Qilian Mountains that flows into the West Sea from the north?" ”

"Nope. The overall topography of the northern part of the West Sea is getting lower and lower, and there are mountains blocking it, so the rivers that originate from the Qilian Mountains generally flow to the north or east. For example, Huangshui, Haomen River, Macheng River, Zhangye River, etc., all flow to the east or north. ”

"Good!" Li Ang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, everyone work hard, fight more rock sheep today, remember, only shoot its head, not its body, do you hear it clearly?" ”

Murong Heshun and the others thought that he was testing everyone's archery skills, so they didn't ask too much, and agreed one after another. In the Qilian Mountains, the most are rock sheep, and hunting is enough.

Murong Heshun was about to go looking for prey, but Li Ang stopped him and said, "Heshun, you take two people, go down this river, find out what kind of river it is, where it leads, and report back as soon as possible." ”

Murong Heshun seemed to have an understanding, and happily responded: "Li Bingcao, don't worry, I will definitely figure it out as soon as possible." ”
