"Meet my father!"

Dorje was dragged to his knees by Princess Zhangxiong, and his official language was already quite proficient. Princess Zhangxiong lowered her head slightly, but she looked a little afraid.

Gao Qianqian has been in Qiuzi for a long time, so she has naturally seen the mother and son, but Yang Youniang has seen the two for the first time. Looking at the rather bright Princess Zhangxiong, and glancing at Ma Lan again, Yang Youniang's gaze looked a little special.

But she is also a very cultivated woman, so she didn't say it.

Ma Lan naturally understood what this girl was thinking, it was nothing more than that he had a reputation for floating waves, and this Zhangxiong princess was extremely beautiful, thinking that there was something in between.

In fact, when he was on the Qiangtang, Li Gongbu vaguely expressed this meaning. That guy is definitely a masterpiece, unscrupulous for the sake of the end, in order to restore the country, he could let his daughter marry an old monk, and later found out that Ma Xuan is thicker thighs, he showed this meaning.

But for Ma Luan, this is simply impossible. Even if King Zhangzhung had intentions, he couldn't accept it. First, although there is a huge age gap between Princess Zhangxiong and Kongjian, but on the surface, the relationship is very good, and secondly, although Princess Zhangxiong is beautiful, it is not to the extent that he fell in love at first sight, a Qiang woman, there is no knowledge, beauty is the only advantage, to his level, such a woman can arouse his ** at most, but it is impossible for him to really be moved.

Of course, if you take into account the fact that she is a woman who sees nothing, this ** will disappear immediately. A pear blossom pressing a begonia is a great pleasure for the person concerned, but it is an unimaginable picture for outsiders.

"Get up!" Ma Lan waved his hand.

Princess Zhangzhung stood up. Still with his head down. Looks extremely frightened. That's what it looks like. It's as if Ma Lan is a big villain and is about to snatch her home—that's probably what she thinks. Li Gongpo can be called a masterpiece, but he has no heirs, and this daughter doesn't seem to be able to take charge on her own, but she doesn't know what will happen to Little Dorje in the future. Ma Ling thought of the old man Zhangxiong, and sighed secretly, a person like Li Gongbu is also unborn for the Zhangxiong Kingdom.

"Your father. It's gone. In order not to let Princess Zhangxiong think too much, Ma Xuan said bluntly.

Princess Zhangxiong's body shook suddenly, and she raised her head to look at Ma Lan.

"Walking very peacefully, it is actually rare for the Qiang people to live to his age." Ma Xuan said, "This happened more than 20 days ago, and I just got the news. ”

"Father...... He's dead? Princess Zhangxiong said in a low voice, her beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears, and she hugged little Dorje tightly. Little Dorje looked at Ma Lu with his eyes open, he couldn't understand what was going on at his age.

The Zhangxiong royal clan is thin. This has always been the case, to the generation of Li Gongbu. There is only one daughter. For Princess Zhang-zhung, her father is her heaven, and now that her father is dead, for her, the sky has fallen.

Ma Lan can naturally understand this feeling. Looking at Princess Zhangxiong, who was silently crying, Ma Lan sighed and said, "Your father...... He is a capable person, a hero of the Xiangxiong people! The greatest pride in his life is the restoration of Zhangxiong. Now that he is gone, your kingdom is still there, so ...... What to do, you should understand. ”

A person who can use a mace to smash the giant arrows of the Eight Bull Crossbow is naturally a hero, and he can make the restoration of the Zhangxiong Kingdom successful, and he is also a hero. In the first battle of the surrendered city, Li Gongbu's changes also made Ma Lan extremely impressed, his stage was too young and too old, otherwise he would definitely be a hero-like figure.

The army is stationed in the surrendered city, one of the important purposes is to avoid Zhangxiong from sitting on the plateau, and a new empire will appear on the plateau, and now that Li Gongbu is dead, there is no such worry, but thinking of this old man, Ma Lan is also extremely sighing.

Xiangxiong nodded lightly with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, General, I understand." The general came to tell us about this because he wanted Dorje and I to go back to Changtang and let Dorje inherit the throne. ”

Ma Lan nodded: "Exactly." Dorje is the prince of the kingdom of Zhangzhung and must go back to stabilize the situation. Pack it up, and we'll be right away. ”

Xiangxiong nodded tearfully and walked into the room with little Dorje. At this time, several Confucian scholars who taught the mother and son also came to visit Ma Lu, and they said that they were great Confucians, which were inferior to the original famous Confucians, but they were all real Confucians, and they had the style of real Confucians. Ma Ling asked about the situation of Xiao Dorje's study of Han culture, and expressed his appreciation for the efforts of several people. When several people heard the news that King Zhangxiong had died of illness and that Dorje was going back to the throne, they immediately expressed that they would follow Shangqiangtang and continue to teach Dorje's mother and son.

"Everyone's intentions, a certain family understands. However, Qiangtang is not as good as this place, and the gas epidemic alone is not something that you gentlemen can resist. The patriotic intentions of all loyal monarchs have been understood, but this matter is absolutely impossible. Moxi needs a few gentlemen like this, and it can't be lost in vain. ”

"General, the little prince has not completed his studies, and it cannot be interrupted at this time." A middle-aged Confucian named Fang Zhongyuan said, "Even if it is the qi epidemic, we are not afraid." Several people went to Qiangtang together, and if one or two survived, one of them would survive, and they could continue to teach Prince Zhangxiong. What the general wrote outside the Tingzhou Twin Holy Shrines is already known to us, and we are also close to each other. What do you learn when you read the books of the sages? Now and then, you are almost worthy of it! We are willing to follow Prince Zhang-zhung to the same Qiangtang, although I will not regret death! ”

This Fang Zhongyuan's expression was excited, and the rest of the great Confucians also nodded again and again, and the old man named Lu Zhongchen said with a smile: "The words inscribed outside the Double Holy Shrine are all extremely admired. It is these 32 words that prove that the general is a true Confucian, and he is a person of my generation. Since we are like-minded people, the general should understand our thoughts and will not hinder us. ”

The rest of the people also spoke one after another, expressing their determination to risk their lives in Qiangtang. Ma Lan saw that several people were like this, and his heart was still very discerning in the selection of doctors at the beginning, and several Confucians were not people who had won fame, nor were they people who sold their reputations. Life and death are the greatest, and in order to teach Prince Zhang-zhung without fear of life and death, it is definitely not something that a person with an empty heart of fame and fortune can do.

One such person is precious enough, let alone several.

"Even so, it's not easy for a certain family to stop it. However, this time I went to stabilize the situation in Qiangtang, and you gentlemen can go if you want, but you don't have to go with a certain family. ”

Seeing that a few people were extremely resolute, Ma Lan was unwilling to block them too much, and looked at several Confucian scholars with a smile and said: "A certain family is going to take a shortcut to Khotan, the road is extremely difficult, and it is the middle of winter now, it is really not suitable for a few gentlemen to go over." If you want to go, you need to wait until half a year later, you can go from Shule to the Green Ridge, turn to Xiaobolu, and then go east over the mountain to Baishitan, which is a better road. At that time, I will send someone to escort a few gentlemen, and the situation in Qiangtang should be clear at that time, and Dorje should have secured the throne, and when the gentlemen arrive in the surrendered city, they can continue to teach little Dorje, so that he can understand the way of benevolence and righteousness, and be loyal to my Datang. ”

Several Confucian scholars were still arguing, but Ma Luan's face was grim, and he waved his hand and said, "It's decided." When a few people saw that he had put on a governor's shelf, and had already agreed to go to Qiangtang, they didn't say more. They are not people who do not know how to advance and retreat, and they understand that Ma Lu is indeed thinking about them, so they naturally no longer argue.

Ma Lu also wrote down this matter, and it will be arranged at the turn of spring and summer. There are two roads from Anxi to Qiangtang, the road through Khotan is much closer, but it is necessary to climb over a few ice Osaka, even in summer, it is also extremely southward, this is actually a strange road, which was not accessible to the army in the past. The usual way to take is to go west from Shule into the Green Ridge, pass through the Dalongchi and Bosa River to Xiaobolu, and then go east to cross the mountains. This road is the main road for Tubo to enter Anxi, although it is longer, but it can pass through the army, because of this, the little Bolu on this road is called "the west gate of the country" by the Tang Dynasty. This road is extremely important in terms of geographical location, that is, in Ma Lan's previous life, China and Ah San also fought hard for this place, but in the end it was still controlled by China. The two roads converge at White Rock Beach, which became known as Aksai Chin.

For these weak scholars, taking a longer road from the mountains into Kashmir and then eastward into the White Rock Beach was the safest way, although they still had to endure the epidemic, but the degree was much smaller. And if you will die in this situation, it is to seek benevolence, and no one can do anything.

After the Confucian scholars dispersed, Princess Zhangzhung walked out with Dorje. She understood that this time she must have passed through Khotan Shangqiangtang, so she didn't bring too many things. Little Dorje still didn't understand what was going on, and looked at Ma Ling and the others with great curiosity. was taught by his mother to be called Ma Luan's father-in-law, but he obviously didn't understand what this word meant.

Of course, Ma Lan didn't have any affection for this child, and thought that being a righteous son was just to control the Zhangzhung Kingdom. The horses had already been prepared outside, and Princess Zhangzhung took Dorje on the war horse, and the group left Longxing Temple.

Princess Zhangzhung sat on horseback with Dorje in her arms, looking extremely sad, but there was a faint glimmer of hope. When her father died, she was naturally sad, but she could finally go back to Qiangtang.

She didn't grow up in Qiangtang, so naturally she didn't have a lot of nostalgia for her hometown, but when she got there, at least she had the opportunity to see her man again.

Her man, who is promoting Buddhism on the plateau, is very fond of her man, although she is new to Bon. She didn't come to Anthy unwillingly. When her father died, the monk man was even more important to her. (To be continued......)
