"Great Minister, among those of us, only you speak the best Chinese, who will help me if you don't help me?" Although he was begging for someone, Genton still said it with confidence.

Lu Dongzan was able to help Songtsan Gampo marry Princess Chizun from Nepal, and from the Tang Dynasty to Princess Wencheng, his diplomatic means are not ordinarily high, and he is naturally not an easy person to offend, he considered the wording before he spoke: "Vice Minister, it's not that I don't want to help you, the last thing was easy to help you get through, but what about you?" ”

"Princess Wencheng kindly reminds you that you scolded her, even if you don't approve of Tang Fan's marriage, let's take everyone back, you should respect them like Momeng, and keep the duty of a courtier. The previous incident was that Her Royal Highness the princess was broad-minded, and respected you as a virtuous and respected old man, so he didn't care about you, but you have been like this for a long time, and you are only afraid of ......"

Lu Dongzan's tone was calm, and his words were extremely tactful, but Gong Dun still heard a trace of irony from the words "respectable" when he said it, and his old face was a little unbearable.

But thinking that he had repeatedly asked to see Princess Wencheng in the past two days and was rejected back, and now he had to ask Lu Dongzan for help, he didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, and said with a smile on his face: "I am a straight person, I don't have so many crooked intestines, and at that time, I was also a little annoyed because Her Royal Highness the princess said it badly, and I was not really disrespectful to her. ”

"Last time, you and Her Royal Highness the princess broke up unhappily, and now it may not be easy to see her again. Now that this is the case, even if I ask for help from you, I am afraid that the princess will not only not agree, but will also be angry with me...... There's just nothing I can do. Lu Dongzan still refused to let go.

Gong Dun was anxious.

Could it be that he should go to the great wizard of Tuyuhun? But that one didn't even calculate the good days of the yak feast, so it can be seen that it is not very reliable, and he still thinks that Princess Wencheng is more advanced.

Of course, in the future, he will have more respect for Zanmeng in the future, after all, as the deputy prime minister of Tubo, he still knows very well that he can't offend people like Xiangshi and Kanyushi.

Even state affairs have to be divined by the archmage before they can be decided, and he doesn't have the courage to offend such a person.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to swallow back all the words he had said before, why should he be angry with Princess Wencheng, at that time he pretended to say some words of thanks, but now there is nothing to do!

Hey, he must have been away from home for too long and dizzy.

"Prime minister, as long as you are willing to help me again, the grievances and grievances between the two of us will be written off, and I will be the first to second, what do you say in the future, what do you think?"

Gong Dun sighed, "I am indeed blamed for the events of that day, blame me for not knowing gold and jade, blame me for offending Her Royal Highness the princess by saying nothing, and my mouth is mostly the source of quarrels, I will not be like that in the future, you can help me and give me a chance to admit my mistakes, okay?" ”

Lu Dongzan sneered, it is love to help others, and it is duty not to help, Gong Dun means this, as if he should help him by himself.

It seems that he laughs too much on weekdays, which makes people feel too easy to talk.

He once again spoke in a calm voice and resolutely refused, "Vice Minister, I really can't help with this matter. If you want to weave the white and soft 氆氇 (pǔlu), you need a good warp and weft, apologize to others, and you still have to come to the door in person to have sincerity. As for the grievances between the two of us, but they are all due to different national and political views, I don't take it to heart, even if you don't understand it for the time being, I think you will definitely understand it in the future. ”

He issued an eviction order, "You see I still have some things to do here, if there is nothing else to do, I will go to the Khan of Tuyuhun and tell me about leaving after the year." ”

After being rejected by Lu Dongzan, Gong Dun thought of another way.

Your princess Wencheng doesn't refuse to see me, okay, you can't help but go out, when you go out, I stopped your horse, apologized in a low voice, and respected each other with good words, in front of the Tuyuhun people, you can't ignore me.

Thinking like this, Gonton's heart lightened a little.

……

At this time, Li Yuntong was communicating with Min Jian, the great wizard of Tuyuhun who Gong Dun looked down on.

Because of the emphasis on ghosts and witches, those countries outside the frontier attach more importance to spells and witchcraft than the Central Plains, not only to invite wizards and monks to chant scriptures and say mantras on weekdays, but also to invite witches and mages to participate in decision-making on national affairs.

As the best witch of Tuyuhun, the tooth tent where Min Jian lives is as luxurious as the king's tent.

Except that it was slightly smaller than the king's tent, the carpets and tapestries laid were exquisite and gorgeous, and the treasures and gems placed everywhere were shining, and if it were not for the sheep's head and skeleton hanging on the walls of the tent, and the strange medicine boiling in the copper pot in the corner of the wall, there would be no difference between this great wizard and other princes and nobles.

Even his outfit looked no different from the rest of Tuyuhun's old men, oh, if you ignore his cat-like eyes.

Those eyes were as bright as owls in the night sky, making Min Jian look less like an old man in his seventies.

For some reason, when I got here, I felt a great desire to talk.

Of course, Li Yuntong would not pour out her heart to a person who only had a few faces, she just slowly drank the milk tea that Min Jian asked people to serve.

"When I first took a sip, I felt like vomiting, but I didn't expect it to be good after drinking it all the way. Especially the milk tea here is particularly fragrant. Li Yuntong praised.

"Because you are coming over today, princess, when I was boiling milk tea, I deliberately read the real names of milk and tea, and I was more happy when I heard the praise, so it tasted so good." Min Jian said with a smile.

As a great witch, he not only knows his own language, but also the words of more than a dozen countries such as the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and it is precisely because of this that at the age of more than seventy, he has not yet stepped down from the position of the first witch of Tuyuhun.

He does not have the dirty darkness and mystery that wizards usually have, he is dressed in an ordinary brocade robe, a black jade belt, a white beard and white hair, if it is not for the appearance of the Hu people, he looks like the Tai Bai Xing in the mythology of the Central Plains.

Seeing the curiosity on Li Yuntong's face, he explained: "Here in our Wuzhu, language has magical power, it can pass through ghosts and gods, dementor souls, and master the true name of a thing, so that it can master its divine soul and make it obey everything." ”

Li Yuntong thought thoughtfully, "Is it called the soul as we say?" ”

"Pretty much. You Central Plains people also have a saying that you can't tell your name to others at will, and as for the eight characters of birth, only your parents can know...... It's just to prevent sneaky people from taking advantage of these. We Wuzhu know the true names of mountains, rivers, ghosts, gods, birds, beasts, plants and trees, so we have divine power and the power to control these things. ”

Li Yuntong was stunned, "Is it really so magical?" ”

Min Jian smiled slightly, twisted his white beard, and did not answer.

Every man has his own way.

Each man has his own rules.

I asked myself, I just didn't believe in the meaning of the great wizard, if the other party was not old and well-cultivated, I was afraid that he would be angry.

Li Yuntong smiled apologetically, hesitated for a moment, and said, "May I ask Dawu, is there a spell that can control a person's every move, but the person who is controlled can't remember anything after waking up?" ”

Seeing that Min Jian's gaze was a little clear, Li Yuntong nodded and said, "It's what happened to the head of the thousand households in Geldan a few days ago, although I know that he was controlled by his soul and did things that he would never normally do, they also said that it might be the Turks or Xue Yantuo in order to destroy the friendship of our countries, but I always feel a little uneasy about this kind of technique." ”

Min Jian asked her, "Are you afraid that you will be unknowingly used by someone to use this kind of magic?" ”

"Yes. It's not just me, if this kind of magic is so powerful, if someone uses it on your Khan, the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, or the Zampu of Tibet, wouldn't it be to cause chaos in the country? ”

"It's not that easy. No matter what kind of spell it is, you need to know the other party's birth date, and the five elements of numerology even have to touch the hair and skin of the body, and you can only perform the spell when you get the skin and hair of the other party, which is not easy to do. ”

Li Yuntong thought thoughtfully, "In other words, that person must have learned about his birth date from the closest person to Geltong Qianhu, and got his hair or flesh and blood?" ”

"That's right. If you look it up, you should know the results. Min Jian laughed, "I look at the situation of Her Royal Highness the Princess, you have cultivated Taoism and then combined with Buddhism, right?" Generally speaking, in addition to the Buddha and the Tao, there are also witches, Gu, and head-lowering techniques that can cast spells, and to achieve that kind of situation, no matter which one is practiced, it is not an ordinary technique. ”

Li Yuntong sincerely asked, "What is the difference between these techniques?" ”

"To put it simply, witchcraft is a means used to influence gods, ghosts, people and all things in the world, and the art of wishing by can be used to ban the magic (ráng), which can be used to cure diseases and live people, including searching for people and things, divining evil and asking for good fortune, and exorcising ghosts through the gods are all witchcraft."

"Generally speaking, we communicate with all things in the world by speaking and dancing to communicate with all things in the world, such as charms, but there are quite similarities with the Taoism of the Central Plains."

"Although the witch cup is often said together, there is actually a big difference, the cup controls the other party by controlling the Gu worms, unlike us through spells......" Speaking of this, Min Jian paused and said, "Someone is here, it should be coming to you." ”

Li Yuntong asked in surprise, "How does the Great Witch know?" Can you tell who a person is when you hear them walking? ”

Min Jian shook his head with a smile and pointed to the water vapor evaporated from the tea boiling on the small stove, "We witchcraft can divinate through everything. ”

As he was talking, his servant came in and said, "Lord Gongton, the deputy prime minister of Tubo, asks to see Princess Wencheng." ”

After coming in, Gong Dun changed his usual arrogance, immediately knelt on the ground, and wept bitterly and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please save the lives of your ministers regardless of the villain." ”

Li Yuntong saw Gong Dun's appearance and knew that he was acting, so he asked with a faint smile, "Vice Minister, how did you find here?" ”

didn't agree to his request just because Min Jian was there.
