Tian Yao insisted: "The vassal king doesn't need to persuade me, what I have identified must be done." ”

She straightened her clothes, took a twig and used it as a crutch, and prepared to go.

The vassal king was helpless and said, "Since the girl insists on going, then I will send troops to escort you." ”

Tian Yao nodded.

Sure enough, as the vassal king said, the heavy snow closed the road, and everyone was cautiously moving forward on the snow, and the thickness of the snow was not as thick as people's ankles.

The road up the mountain is even more difficult. Tian Yao used two branches as crutches, and moved to the mountain step by step.

Near the top of the mountain, she finally found the legendary Ice Grass.

She took out the tools she was carrying, and carefully dug the ice grass out of the snow. In order not to hurt the roots of the ice grass, she dug on her knees.

Finally found the ice grass!

Tian Yao was overjoyed.

It's too cold. The temperature on the mountain made her shiver, so she carefully hugged the ice grass and went down the mountain along the way up the mountain.

Before dark, they finally made their way back to the city.

This day's trek had exhausted Tian Yao's strength.

As soon as she returned to Wangcheng, she said to the gatekeeper: "Let me in, I'm Tian Yao." ”

fainted, and Xiao Cui on the side was so frightened that she supported her.

Tian Yao woke up.

She found herself in her bed, with Xiao Cui and the vassal king's doctor standing next to her. She asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”

Xiao Cui on the side said: "Girl, you can scare us to death." As soon as you get to the gates, you're dizzy. ”

Tian Yao laughed and said, "I'm fine." ”

The doctor sent by the vassal king said, "I just checked the pulse. The girl was in good health, but she fainted when she entered the city, probably because of her overdraft and the severe cold weather. ”

Seeing Xiaocui's worried eyes, she said, "I understand medical science, so I also know that there is nothing wrong with me, so you can rest assured." ”

Nothing, just pure frost sickness.

As she spoke, she brushed her hair and drank a cup of hot water brought by Xiao Cui, feeling much better.

The doctor continued to say respectfully: "The vassal king was very worried when he saw that you had fainted when you returned, so he sent me to treat him. Now that the girl is awake, then I can go out and get back to the vassal king. ”

With that, he withdrew.

Tian Yao nodded, and she asked, "Vassal King, are you outside at this time?" ”

Xiao Cui nodded: "Yes." ”

"I want to thank the vassal king, if he hadn't sent someone to escort me, I wouldn't have been able to go up the mountain, let alone return safely. Give me a change. Tian Yao commanded.

Tian Yao went out, and the vassal king looked concerned: "Miss Yun, you return safely, it's okay." ”

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Tian Yao thanked him.

The vassal king hurriedly stopped her from bowing down and said, "You have made meritorious contributions to our Tibetans, and you are the great heroes of our Tibet." I, Tibet, am willing to form an alliance with you forever. ”

Is this a willingness to form an alliance?

Tian Yao suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "The King of Tubo is willing to form an alliance with the Heavenly Kingdom, and we are honored. ”

I really didn't expect that such a thorny problem would be solved like this.

"Okay, if the girl's health allows, tomorrow, we will hold an alliance ceremony and tell the world about this. After forming an alliance, the girl must continue to teach me the cultivation of herbs and grains for the Tibetan people! "The vassal king is very bold.

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Tian Yao humbly bowed and replied.

The alliance went smoothly, and in order to show his sincerity, Tian Yao specially drew the location of the ice grass and dedicated it to the king of Tubo. The king of Tibet was even more happy.

Heavy snow closed the roads and the weather was bitterly cold.

At this point, I can't go anywhere.

So, Tian Yao was in the royal city, according to the requirements of the vassal king, to teach the peasants how to grow the herbs of the four seasons.

Because of geographical and environmental reasons, Tibetan medicinal materials have always been very scarce, and they have to rely on buying them from outside.

If it can be successfully planted and solve the problem of lack of medicinal materials, it is a matter of great merit, so Tian Yao taught it by hand and was also very serious.

The vassal king also came to check the cultivation of medicinal herbs in person.

"Vassal King."

Tian Yao bowed to the vassal king.

The vassal king said happily: "If the cultivation of medicinal herbs here is successful, then we in Tibet will no longer have to worry about the lack of medicinal herbs." The girl has really made a great contribution to our Tibet. ”

"yes." Tian Yao suddenly said: "If His Majesty the Emperor knows that I have done this, he will also be happy for Tubo." ”

"Emperor? He? He won't. The vassal king's face showed a look of disapproval.

"What's wrong?" Tian Yao asked puzzledly, why did the vassal king suddenly say that? Is something happening?

"The emperor is just reconciling with us on the surface, behind the scenes, but he wants to eradicate us!" Seeing that there was no one around, the vassal king lowered his voice and said to her.

Tian Yao was frightened and said, "The vassal king can't talk nonsense!" His Majesty the Emperor, where did you mean to eradicate you? ”

Seeing that he had scared Tian Yao, the vassal king said with some apologies: "We Tubo people have always had one thing to say, and we are never like some people. What I'm saying is true. The emperor does harbor evil intentions. ”

Seeing that Tian Yao still didn't believe it, the vassal king stretched out his hand: "Please also invite Miss Tian Yao to my palace for a while." ”

When he arrived at the palace, the vassal king took out a letter from his study, handed it to her, and said, "Girl, you should read it for yourself." ”

Tian Yao took the letter from the vassal king.

"This is a secret message from the palace agent." The vassal king added.

After reading the letter, Tian Yao was stunned.

Her mind was in a state of confusion.

What the hell is going on?

Although it is said that the heart of heaven is unpredictable, but His Majesty the Emperor, is it really such a person?

He really wants to reconcile with Tibet on the surface, but in fact, is the mainland ready to eradicate the vassal king?

How so?

Holding the letter, she thought a lot.

"The King of Tibet." She said it word by word and said, "Please give me a moment." I'll definitely find out the truth about this. ”

The vassal king nodded.

"Please King Tubo, you must trust me."

She's definitely not a spy!

The vassal king thought for a while, showed a confident gaze, and said, "I naturally believe in you." If you offer to find out for yourself, that's fine. Actually, I also have doubts about this matter in my heart. ”

Tian Yao held up the letter and said: "So, this letter is the key and powerful evidence, I hope the vassal king will allow him to send this letter to me." ”

The vassal king said boldly, "It's just a letter." I can give it to you. ”

"Hmm." Tian Yao carefully received the letter in her sleeve.

She continued to ask, "Just now, the vassal king mentioned the palace agent, so I want to ask, can you know where the palace agent is now, and where is the palace?" ”

The vassal king shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

To confirm the situation on this letter, it is crucial to find this agent.

Since the king of Tubo said that he did not know the specific situation of this secret agent, it was a bit troublesome.

"So, I want to ask, what are the characteristics of this secret agent?"

The sea of people is vast, the palace is so big, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If you know the characteristics of this secret agent, it is easier to find.

At this time, the vassal king said, "I remember, that spy has a tattoo on his body. It's very conspicuous, and nothing else. ”

Got a tattoo?

That's great.

It's easy to find someone.

She asked, "Where exactly is the tattoo?" ”

"Here it is. on the neck. The vassal king pointed to the position of his neck: "If you ask me to tell him what he looks like, I really can't describe it, because he is just an ordinary-looking person with no characteristics, and the only feature is this tattoo on his neck." ”

I see.

Tian Yao hurriedly kept this characteristic in mind.

In the evening, she explained to the few people who followed her, and said, "This place can't stay for a long time." We have to get out of here quickly. ”

Several people didn't know what was going on, especially Zhao Hu.

He clenched his fists and said, "I don't know what happened to the girl?" ”

Tian Yao sighed, took out the letter he got from his sleeve, and said, "It's okay to show it to you." ”

After everyone read it, they were speechless, looked at Tian Yao silently, and said: "Since this secret letter has arrived in Tubo, it already shows that this place is being targeted, and it is no longer a safe place." ”

Thinking of the chase and killing they encountered before, everyone was cold.

At this time, Xiao Cui stepped forward cautiously and said, "Now that the road is closed by heavy snow, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to leave now." ”

Tian Yao nodded and said, "I think so too." ”

At this time, Xiaolian, who was standing on the side, was standing aside with low eyebrows, but she was secretly calculating in her heart.

Tian Yao actually already knew about it, and it seemed that he had to inform the emperor.

While everyone was asleep, Xiaolian got dressed and sneaked out of her room. She is the Emperor's spy and is responsible for passing information to the Emperor.

She ran for a while, then reached a high place, and burned what she was holding.

Smoke came from the burning fire.

This is the communication with the people on the emperor's side, and the code to deliver information.

The message she delivered was, "Tian Yao already knows what is going on here." ”

The smoke signal was issued. She rubbed her hands that were about to freeze, sighed a few times into her palms, cleaned up the things on the ground, quickly buried them with earth, and hurried back.

As soon as she pushed open the door of her room, she heard someone ask, "It's so late, Xiaolian, where have you been?" ”

When she looked back, it was Xiao Cui, who was rubbing her eyes and sleepy.

She hurriedly covered it up and said: "I went to the toilet, I don't know if I had a bad stomach and some diarrhea." It took some time. ”

"Well, let's go to sleep, and I'll continue to accompany Miss out to the farmer tomorrow."

Xiao Cui did not doubt that he had him, and admonished.

"Okay, I'll go to sleep." Xiaolian entered the house.

And Xiao Cui's eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion.

Then she shook her head, what was wrong with herself, how could she doubt her companion?

She yawned and went to sleep.

The process of waiting for the snow to melt is long.

Finally waited until the snow melted, Tian Yao ignored the retention of the vassal king, took his own group and left Tubo.
