Chapter 123: Changing Face

Li Yuntong thought for a moment, "That's it, I'll talk to him later, let Dongqing think about sneaking down the mountain, and tell Miao Meiren and them." ”

She confessed to Dong Yan, "After you accompany them back to the palace, when the prince of the county comes back and transfers people and horses to the mountain, no matter what kind of enemy my life-saving benefactor has, I can go down the mountain safely." ”

Li Yuntong once heard Lu Dongzan say that Tubo is composed of multiple tribes, although Songtsen Gampo is the only Zampu on the land of the snowy plateau, but it is slightly different from the Tang Dynasty Emperor set imperial power, the leaders of each tribe are like princes with territories, and the affairs of the territory are managed by themselves.

As Zampu, Songtsen Gampo has direct control and direct subordination, and the military and administrative rights are in his hands mainly in the Luo and some nearby towns, and for other places, the control of the royal city is weaker, those tribes pay tribute to the Luo people, and the Tibetans also collect taxes from them, and when Songtsen Gampo needs it, he sends the leaders of the tribes to deploy troops to cooperate with his actions.

But this kind of control is loose and not absolute, so that in many matters, the pros and cons have to be weighed and the parties can only be appeased.

It can be said that the leaders of these tribes and the Tibetan Zanpu are not absolute monarchs and ministers, and sometimes for the sake of profit, Songtsen Gampo must marry them, and his previous wives came from this.

This is also an important reason why Songtsen Gampo has heard that she has arrived at the Yushu Palace, but he has not been able to get out to greet her.

After the defeat of the Battle of Songzhou, some tribes advocated fighting with the Tang Dynasty to the end, and some were very opposed to marriage with the Tang Dynasty.

Because of this loose affiliation, there are conflicts between the leaders of the various tribes, and it is very common for them to rob each other for territory and population, or even to rob each other for an opportunity.

Even if the lawsuit is filed, the defeated may not be able to seek justice, after all, Tibet is a country that worships the strong and despises the weak, and even the biological father and son are judged by their strength and weakness, if the father is old, he must obey the arrangement of his young and powerful son, and he must walk behind his son when he goes out.

Thinking of this, Li Yuntong said softly: "He may be the leader of a certain tribe. Although Tibet is unified, the tribes are not united, and the situation between the DPRK and China is also turbulent, so I am afraid that we will be involved in the tribal dispute this time...... But this person has the grace to save my life, so I can't ignore it. ”

"And how is the princess going to help him?"

"Frankly tell him, my future husband is their Tibetan Zampu, no matter what grievances he has with others, Zampu can always help him solve them, so that he can send someone to report the news with Dongyan, so that we can get out early."

Xu is Li Yuntong said this louder, Songtsen Gampo looked over, the expression on his face was obscure, "You just said that your future husband is Zampu of Tubo?" ”

Seeing Li Yuntong nodded, Songtsan Gampo squinted and smiled at her, "I heard that Zampu is going to marry a princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, could it be you?" ”

was going to tell him frankly, but seeing him ask like this, Li Yuntong nodded again.

Songtsen Gampo looked at her and smiled, as if the uncertain face just now did not exist at all, "Aren't you afraid that a princess of yours will run out with two or three people like this?" ”

Li Yuntong blinked, "If it weren't for helping Gongzi you avoid the enemy, there should be more than two or three people around me." ”

"Heh," Songtsen Gampo seemed to hear some joke, and his smile became more and more obvious, "you are indeed bold enough, you will believe whatever I say, how do you know that I did not deliberately separate you from the others and lead you to this mountain?" ”

Hearing him say this, Qiu Feng and Dong Qing subconsciously leaned over to Li Yuntong left and right and protected her. Even Bu Chi, who didn't know martial arts, stood back to back behind Li Yuntong, staring vigilantly at Songtsen Gampo's entourage.

After his reminder, Li Yuntong felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but tighten his throat, and secretly sighed that he was still too reckless......

Although she was worried, she still said with a smile on her face: "Childe is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he once saved me, how could he do such a thing?" ”

Songtsen Gampo's gaze slipped around her face, and he said with a smile: "Originally, I wouldn't have been, but I heard that your husband was Zanpu of Tibet, so I changed my mind." ”

With a wave of his hand, his movements were swift, and after a few jumps, he arrived at Li Yuntong's side, and even before Qiu Feng and Dong Qing could react further, his hand was clasped around her neck.

"Take them allβ€”" He snorted coldly in Tubo.

When he waved, the entourage surrounded Qiu Feng and Dong Qing to fight hands, but Bu Chi, who had no martial arts, was pushed in the grass and couldn't get up for a long time.

"If you don't stop, I'll break her neck." Songtsen Gampo said with a grin, his hand moving back and forth on Li Yuntong's neck, as if looking for the best place to start.

Although his smile was very bright, his voice was chilling to hear, and coupled with the pressing fingers, Qiu Feng's movements couldn't help but slow down.

Even Li Yuntong felt that he would do what he said, because although he was smiling, his voice was murderous, and it didn't seem to be fake at all, and people couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it, because of panic, Li Yuntong even ignored the hand that Songtsen Gampo held her neck, and it didn't seem like he was going to twist or pinch it......

If she was more careful, she could feel that Songtsen Gampo's movements were more like caressing and feeling the tenderness of her skin.

But at this time, her heart was full of regret and shock, and even Songtsen Gampo's bright smile felt dazzling when she looked at it.

She secretly regretted that she was not smart enough before, and she had no heart to defend against others, so she dared to reveal her origin when the other party's identity was unknown...... It's just that now that the words have been spoken, I can't get it back if I want to, so I can only complain in my heart that I don't have enough opportunities.

Li Yuntong took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, she said with a straight face: "I am a righteous man and a gentleman, so I will tell you everything, how could I have thought that you are such a young person!" ”

She snorted coldly, "Anyway, you saved my life in the first place, and it doesn't matter if you want to take it back, just live for two more years to earn." I also hope that for the sake of our acquaintance, don't humiliate people, and do it quickly. ”

As she spoke, she twisted her head violently, trying to get rid of Songtsen Gampo's "claws".

Reluctantly removing his hand from the smooth skin, Songtsan Gampo smiled faintly, "The girl is really sharp-toothed, and I want to let you go." ”

Li Yuntong turned his head and glared at him, "Then you still don't let go?" ”

At this time, her anger and regret were greater than her fear, and her face did not show much timidity.

"I'm a martial artist, but I just said it casually. It's easy to have this opportunity to meet the princess of the Tang Dynasty, how can you just let it go? You didn't mention it. After that, Songtsen Gampo picked Li Yuntong like an eagle catching a chicken, and then threw it on the horse brought by his entourage.

Li Yuntong lay on the back of a horse like a turtle.

Songtsen Gampo slapped her buttocks twice, feeling the elasticity of the tentacles, he smiled: "I have a courtyard in this mountain, so I will wronged you to stay there for a few days, and I will release you when the conditions are negotiated." ”

Li Yuntong was ashamed and angry, gritted his teeth and said: "If you have the ability, you will kill me, otherwise, I will not want you to die well." ”

"Hahaha......" Songtsen Gampo laughed loudly, leaned over to Li Yuntong's ear and whispered, "You Han people have a saying that 'peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic', if you really die in your hands, it will be a beautiful thing." ”

Because he pressed one hand on her waist, Li Yuntong only shook her limbs even if she struggled, and after realizing that she was doing it in vain, she stopped and just stared at Songtsen Gampo fiercely with her eyes.

"You look like a little she-wolf, interesting. The more you are like this, the more I like it, and I am reluctant to negotiate terms and return you......" Songtsen Gampo laughed in a low voice.

As he spoke, he jumped on the horse, flipped Li Yuntong over and sat down, and held him in his arms.

"Take them with you." Songtsen Gampo glanced at Buchi, who was at a loss to stand up, pointed at her, and said, "Give her a horse." ”

He said to Buchi in the Tibetan language: "Hurry down the mountain and report to Gar Dongzan, and say that I will ask the princess to live in this mountain for a few days, so that they will not panic or disturb, and in a few days, I will send the princess down the mountain." ”

Bu Chi saw that someone really led a horse with her, so he looked at Li Yuntong and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, do you want the slave to go down the mountain to report the news?" ”

Li Yuntong didn't care whether it was true or false at this time, he had the idea that he could live one by one, and nodded hurriedly, "You go down the mountain quickly, and call the prince of the county to save me......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Songtsen Gampo, "You forgot? I can speak the Tang dialect now, let them come, and you won't want to go back. ”

He glanced at Bu Chi and said coldly, "Okay, go down the mountain quickly." Remember, go to Gar Donzan first, and if there is a mistake, what will happen to your princess...... Hmph, at your own risk. ”

Threatened by him, Bu Chi hurriedly got on his horse, gritted his teeth, and saluted Li Yuntong: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the slave maid has gone down the mountain to report the news." ”

Waiting for Bu Chi to go down the mountain, he turned around and saw Qiu Feng and Dong Qing still fighting with his guards over there, although they had some scruples, neither side was ruthless, but the situation was clearly unwilling to be captured, Songtsen Gampo smiled warmly: "If it goes on like this, I will let people kill them, and then there will be no one to wait for you, so I have to do it myself, and I hope that the princess will not think I am clumsy." ”
