Say goodbye to winter and usher in spring, and the grass on the prairie has finally survived another winter with its tenacious vitality. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, as the snow melts, the cruelty of the main killing in winter is exposed.

The herders who did not survive the winter were exposed to the sun after the snow melted, and the herders who found them rushed to bury them.

Because if they are not buried in time, these dead bodies may cause a huge disaster, bringing the disease cholera to the grasslands and bringing death.

It has been a month and a half since Li Mu left Datang.

No matter how much Li Daozong delayed, there would always be a time to arrive at Yumen Pass, and according to the plan, as long as he left Yumen Pass and walked out of dozens of miles, the family envoy would encounter the Tibetan family delegation.

Then the handover between the two sides was carried out, and Li Daozong's responsibilities were completed.

It's just that after the delegation arrived at Yumen Pass, Li Daozong did not leave the customs immediately, but took the excuse that the ice and snow on the grassland had not melted and Princess Wencheng was inconvenient to go out of the fortress, so he rested at Yumen Pass.

Because Li Daozong is waiting, waiting for Li Mu's news, waiting for Li Mu to bring the news of Tubo's discord, waiting for him to take his daughter to set foot on Chang'an's Baqiao again.

At this time, the Yumen Pass Frontier Army, because of the blockade of heavy snow in winter, coupled with the blockage of ancient news, the Yumen Pass Border Army did not know that Tubo had been killed by Li Muzhen.

Still doing the routine patrol work in winter, waiting for the complete arrival of spring, to meet the caravan inspecting the entry and exit of the customs.

.....

After the delegation led by Li Daozong arrived at Yumen Pass, they lived directly in the post house in Yumen Pass, and there was no more action.

Since Li Daozong was the envoy of the family envoy, and the Tubo envoy who followed him had been killed by Li Mu, no one would take the initiative to urge him to leave as soon as possible.

After all, Li Daozong personally sent his daughter and relatives, and the Tang officials who followed him all knew that this farewell could be said to be a dead farewell.

There is no chance to see each other again, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and who doesn't have a few beloved children.

In addition, Li Daozong is still a prince, a prince who has made meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and the accompanying Datang officials will naturally give some face.

I won't rush to export, anyway, no matter how delayed, sooner or later I will have to go out of the customs, it's just some time in the evening.

Li Daozong, who was in the post house, has been particularly irritable in recent days, as a prince on horseback, the first half of his life can be said to have run through all the processes of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

There are people with good connections in the military, but in order to avoid suspicion in Chang'an, so as not to have a bad reputation for interfering in court politics, Li Daozong rarely interacts with his friends and old subordinates.

Only when he is the head of the march of one party, will he meddle in military affairs, and as long as he returns to Chang'an, he is just an idle prince.

However, this time it was different when he arrived at Yumen Pass, in order to get news from Li Mu, Li Daozong found the guards of Yumen Pass on the first day and inquired.

Coincidentally, this Yumen guard is still his old subordinate, so there is no need to ask the key point in a secretive way.

It's just that after listening to the narration of the old subordinates, Li Daozong got a bad result.

That is, the Yumen Pass did not see any news about Shoushanbo's exit, and the grassland was closed by heavy snow at that time, so no one was allowed to pass through.

This made Li Daozong instantly disappointed.

It's like an old father who doesn't want his beloved daughter to marry a bully, and at this time someone tells him not to worry, his daughter doesn't have to marry.

This rekindled the old father's hope, but a few days later, when the day came when his daughter had to get married, the old father still did not get any news.

Li Daozong, who was sitting alone in the post house, was in this mood.

For a few days, Li Daozong would ask the guards of Yumen Pass every day about the grassland and whether there was any movement in Tibet.

It's just that every time the sergeant sent by the Yumen Pass guard to report brought the same news, that is, the grassland was calm as usual, and Tubo was located in the highlands, and the heavy snow was still melted away without any action.

"Father, it's time to eat." Since getting Li Mu's promise, Li Xueyan's whole person is like a different person, without the sadness when she just put on the dowry and got into the carriage.

Now Li Xueyan is like a lark, really as Li Mu said, enjoying different scenery along the way.

Especially after arriving at Yumen Pass, she took advantage of her identity as Princess Wencheng to climb the city defense gatehouse of Yumen Pass and enjoy the scenery outside the fortress.

Today, Li Xueyan just came back with the maid beside her, and let Li Daozong eat with food.

"Snow Goose, it's my father's fault." Looking at Li Xueyan, who seems to be showing signs of going crazy in the past few days, Li Daozong really doesn't want to say the news that Li Mu has not left the customs.

"Father, I believe that Brother Mu will not lie to me, he said that I don't have to go out of the customs, then I must not go out of the customs." Li Xueyan knew what Li Daozong was going to say, and comforted him with a smile.

"Father, Yumen Pass is not as prosperous as Chang'an, but the roast mutton here also has a different flavor, it is more flavorful than Chang'an's, you can try it." After speaking, Li Xueyan sandwiched a piece of lamb shaved by the cook in Li Daozong's bowl.

For Li Xueyan, she believes in Li Mu's commitment to her more than Li Daozong, maybe this is because of the girl's sensibility, when she puts her heart on a man, she will believe in the other party unconditionally.

This is the silly performance of the girl paper after falling in love.

"However, for a few days, the guards of Yumen Pass have not brought news of Tubo, and even if my father has a reason, he will have to send you out of Yumen Pass tomorrow." Li Daozong looked at the mutton that was still steaming in the bowl, and the aroma did not dilute the worries that lingered in his heart.

"Well, I know, tomorrow maybe Brother Mu will ride a horse from outside the gate to Yumen Pass." After speaking, Li Xueyan smiled and grabbed Li Daozong's arm and said coquettishly.

"Father, after eating, accompany me to the market in Yumen Pass to have a look, Xue Yan will pick a few headdresses, and wait for Brother Mu to arrive at Yumen Pass tomorrow, so that it can be used as a welcome."

Li Daozong looked at his coquettish daughter beside him, and no longer thought about whether Li Mu haunted the Yumen Pass and persuaded Tubo to cancel the matter of harmony.

At this time, Li Daozong just wanted to be an ordinary father, cherish the last happy time with his daughter, and then wait for tomorrow's fate together.

For better or for worse.

Touching Li Xueyan's hair dotingly, Li Daozong didn't know if there would be a chance in the future, and he would enjoy the joy of family with his daughter like this, and said lovingly: "Okay, my father will accompany Xueyan to go, and my father will accompany Xueyan to buy all the jewelry in Yumenguan Market and let Xueyan choose carefully." ”

"Thank you, Father."

The happy Li Xueyan leaned her little head on the crook of Li Daozong's arm, and the two waited for the moment to decide their fate tomorrow.

It's just that tomorrow they didn't wait for the news that Li Mu had arrived at Yumen Pass, but they saw another person arriving at Yumen Pass. (To be continued.) )
