After Gongshan saluted, he carefully looked left and right.

He took a long time to check, and everyone waited only to feel anxious, seeing that the east was already a little white, and the sky was about to dawn.

The rooster crows at dawn, and the five watches knock on the bang, and they will lose this game.

If you lose a game, you will not be qualified to marry a princess, just like other vassal states have come to this point, but they are just doing sparring for Tubo.

Losing a few games is nothing more than having more confidence when talking about border trade with Datang in the future, but there is no comparison with the benefits brought by marrying the princess of Datang.

After all, marrying the princess of Datang is Datang's in-laws, and she is her own person, and the resources that outsiders can get are definitely much better.

It's already the fifth game, and it looks like victory is in sight, and losing this one is too unwilling.

As the days passed, Noamo felt like he could hear his own heartbeat like a drum, and he looked at the others, all of them nervous in the flickering lights of the wind lanterns.

Lu Dongzan was breathing as usual, his expression was natural, and he didn't seem to care about failure.

But almost as soon as Gongshan turned to speak to them after checking it, he let out a light breath, a faint smile cracked on his lips.

"You follow me, turn left three steps, turn right six steps, and when you reach the ninth step, the last person takes off the red lantern on the left-hand side, and then takes three steps and turns left...... When you get the ninth red lantern, you'll be able to get out. Gongshan said in a hoarse voice.

"Red lanterns? Where are the red lanterns? Noah Mo looked left and right and asked strangely.

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice: "You follow the master, don't talk too much, I'll go last." ”

When he walked to the ninth step, Lu Dongzan looked to the left, and sure enough, on the shop next to him, there was a red lantern in the shape of an angry wind lantern.

The lantern was not big, about the same as one of his fists, and there was no candle flame in it, and it was made in the shape of a wind lantern, and in the dark night, if you didn't pay close attention, that little red would not be visible at all.

Lu Dongzan took off the lantern and carried it in his hand.

He counted silently in his mind, followed the footsteps of those in front of him, and when he had reached the nine red lanterns, he heard Noamo, who was running ahead and about twenty paces away from him, shouting happily: "Here we are, we have arrived at the place." ”

The first rooster crow and the sound of the five watches sounded almost at the same time, and Lu Dongzan, who was walking at the end, had already jumped several times before the rooster crow and the sound of the bang had completely disappeared, and flew down in front of the door of the Honglu Temple.

The group of them stood on the steps of Honglu Temple before dawn.

The door opened, Honglu Siqing and the two yellow door orders, and a few small officials walked out.

Honglu Siqing touched his goatee and said with a smile: "Congratulations, big minister, you have won five games in a row, take a break and freshen up, so you can enter the palace to compete in the sixth game." ”

Listening to the interpreter's words, Gonton asked in surprise, "Why don't you let us sleep and go again?" How about not sleeping this night? ”

The interpreter who was following Honglu Siqing and Huangmen Ling was translating Gongtun's words to them, when they heard Noamo and the other Tibetans shouting, "It's just too unfair, this obviously doesn't want us to win...... You Han people are really treacherous, so unreasonable......"

Noamo spoke Chinese, with more than a dozen Tubo people shouting and pulling their sleeves to fight, and there was chaos in front of the door for a while.

Honglu Siqing, who was originally smiling, sank his face, and a yellow door order shouted even more sharply: "Presumptuous, what kind of place should you be?" When you come to Datang, since you want to compete and marry our princess, you have to follow the rules of Datang. If you think it's unfair, you can not compare. ”

Honglu Siqing's tone was relatively calm, but he said without a smile: "In our Datang, even if ordinary people want to marry someone else's daughter, they have to go through a lot of tests, and besides, what you want to marry is the princess of Datang, but this is it, it's already very simple, what?" I think it's hard for you, can't stand it? Want to rob yourself? ”

Noamo wanted to say something, but Lu Dongzan made a pause gesture to stop him, and also stopped the other Tubo people who were shouting.

He bowed his hand, and said to Honglu Siqing and Huangmen with a smile on his face: Don't blame the adults, they haven't slept all night, they are a little impatient. What the grown-ups say is, it's nothing. I heard that on the day of the marriage in the Tang Dynasty, if the groom is not the right pair, he cannot marry the bride...... It's nothing compared to those things. It's just that the clothes on our bodies should be changed after a night of walking, and we can't go to see the Son of Heaven with this appearance......"

At this time, the envoys of Dashi, Tianzhu, and Baidahor also came back one after another, some of them surrounded Honglu Temple and asked about the results, and some congratulated Tubo on his victory.

Hearing that Tubo had won the fifth game, Rahman's gaze at Lu Dongzan could be described as admiration and worship.

Because there were a lot of people, Lu Dongzan didn't notice Rahman's gaze, he found a gap and smiled at Honglu Siqing: "Your Excellency, you see, the envoys of Gesa and Linyi have rushed back, even if they don't plan to compete again, they will always go to see the last one." These people who come back also have to freshen up, and I am afraid that it will take at least an hour or two to calculate, please consider it. ”

Honglu Siqing and the two Huangmen Commanders discussed in a low voice for a while, and the Huangmen Commander led by him said proudly: "Okay, then two hours later, Lord Hu will accompany the envoys of all countries to the palace." ”
