Chapter 111: Questioning
Looking at Ge Tong who woke up, Li Yuntong was a little tired, and for a while, she didn't know how to speak.
It stands to reason that knowing that Geldan did go to the armory last night, the original problem has been solved, and the things that originally had no clues are now much easier to do.
Now all it had to do was ask Gerdan who the man with him was.
But since that man was able to control Geldan's spirit, he was obviously very powerful, even if Geldan recalled everything that happened last night, it was still unknown whether he could successfully resolve this matter.
Thinking about this, she was a little annoyed.
There is something that is out of her control, and it can even be tricky and cause irritation.
Her right hand unconsciously rubbed the corner of her dress.
Lu Dongzan looked at her and reminded softly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, he has woken up. β
Li Yuntong rubbed the corners of his clothes, turned his head to look at Geldan with a shocked face, and finally said, "Do you remember?" There are some things I want to ask you. β
Since waking up, Geldan has always looked at the void, his face is frightened, even when Marley talks to him, he doesn't react, and when he hears Li Yuntong's voice, he comes back to his senses, picks up the tea bowl on the table and drinks a few large sips of milk tea that has cooled, and then wipes his mouth and asks the translator, "What did Her Royal Highness the princess say?" β
The translator paraphrased Li Yuntong's words.
Geldan put down the cup, leaned his back against the table to find support, looked at her, and his expression was much calmer, "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess wants to ask?" β
Seeing that Geldan was able to quickly stabilize his mind, Li Yuntong felt that things were more difficult than she imagined, a person with such a firm mind as Geldan would be controlled by the other party and forget what happened last night, obviously the other party's control was far stronger than she thought before.
Against such a formidable opponent, what are her chances of winning?
She pursed her red lips, "Of course it's about you taking someone to the armory last night, what does he look like?" β
Because before being hypnotized, I heard Li Yuntong say that he may have been controlled by someone, and after waking up, the "dream" scene was vivid, and Geldan naturally understood who Li Yuntong was asking.
He tried hard to remember, and even frowned, and said for a while, "He's a man, well, listening to the voice is about forty years old, I can understand what he says, but it's not like us Tuyuhun people talking...... As for his appearance, I can't see clearly, but I remember that when his eyes looked at me, I could remember the words he had told me before, and his eyes should be black, like, like ......"
He looked at the waist knife on the table, "like a black jewel on this." β
"yes, like the black gem on this." Ignoring Li Yuntong's greatly changed face, Geldan continued, "These eyes are so black and bright......
As he watched, he began to dance.
"Stop him." Li Yuntong said anxiously.
Lu Dongzan used his hand as a knife and slashed at the back of Gerdan's neck.
Gerdan fell limply to the ground.
Marley held him up and yelled at Lu Dongzan, "What are you doing? β
Lu Dongzan said in Tibetan dialect: "If you don't stop him, he will go crazy." β
Marley realized that Gerdan had just seen the obsidian fall into evil.
He said thank you as he put Geldan on his chair.
Li Yuntong has learned the Tibetan dialect for more than a year, and he is not particularly complicated, and he can fully understand it.
Her eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked Lu Dongzan and Marley, "Can you understand each other?" β
She said this in the Tibetan language.
Marley nodded and shook his head, and said something about it.
Lu Dongzan said in Tubo: "There are similarities between the languages of our two countries, so there is no problem with simple communication, and it should be much easier to learn each other's language than the Tang people." β
After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, the Hu people you are referring to not only refer to Tubo and Tuyuhun, but also to Turkic, Baidahor, and Gesa...... We all have similarities in our languages. β
Li Yuntong thought for a moment and asked rhetorically in Tubo, "In other words, not only the Tubo people may be the man referred to by Geldan, but also people from other countries?" β
Lu Dongzan nodded.
Marley looked at them with some bewilderment, and although he could understand most of what they were saying, why didn't he understand the meaning?
Seeing his confused face, Lu Dongzan explained: "Her Royal Highness the princess saw that we could understand each other's words before, so he suspected that the tall man Geldan said was from Tibet, and later heard me say that the Turks are also Hu people, and when they can communicate like this, they can't decide who that man is." β
Li Yuntong set his eyes on the waist knife, his eyes deliberately avoided the two obsidians, and gritted his teeth, "In this way, I can only ask Vice Minister Gongton." He gave the knife to Gerdan, and he had to look for clues from him. β
She really didn't want this matter to have anything to do with Gong Dun, although the other party had already shown that he didn't like her before, but such an act would provoke discord between the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Tuyuhun, and Gong Dun, as the deputy prime minister of Tubo, should not even have this bit of knowledge.
If it is really Gongtun's doing, I am afraid that it will not be the blessing of Tibet.
Lu Dongzan picked up the knife, "I'll ask him." β
Before Li Yuntong could speak, Marley said angrily: "I'm just afraid that you snakes and rats will have a nest." β
Lu Dongzan said lightly: "You go and ask, if it is really him, I am afraid that it will startle the snake." The other one, it was really him, that means that there is a superior person around him, in case that person is also like that of Geldan, what will you do, can you withstand it? How is Bigeldan doing, you ask? β
Marley said unconvinced: "I can't, and Her Royal Highness the Princess." β
Lu Dongzan glanced at Li Yuntong, and his gaze unconsciously softened a little, "She can't do it either, she was almost fascinated by that obsidian before." β
"None of us can do it, can you just do it?" Marley was still unconvinced.
"At least, in terms of concentration, it's better than you should all be." Lu Dongzan said confidently.
He looked at the waist knife in his hand, stared at the obsidian for about half a pillar of incense, and then withdrew his gaze and said, "How about it, can I go?" β
What they said, the translator relayed all of them to Li Yuntong, in fact, she basically understood what Lu Dongzan said, and when she heard what Lu Dongzan said, she nodded and said: "Minister, you are your own ...... Be careful. β
Hearing Li Yuntong's concerned words, and seeing her worries that she wanted to say and stopped, Lu Dongzan's heart crackled like a chestnut thrown into the fire.
Burst into joy.
He looked at Li Yuntong, stared at it for a moment, and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, rest assuredβ"
With a salute, he picked up his waist knife and withdrew.
Watching Lu Dongzan walk out of the door, Li Yuntong rubbed his eyebrows and said, "When the head of the thousand households in Geldan wakes up, you will go to eat and rest first." As for what happened before, don't tell anyone about it yet, and wait for the prime minister to come back, and then talk about anything else. β
She stood up, "I'm tired, go back and rest first, if there is anything, you must wait for the prime minister to come back, and we will make a decision after discussion." β
After listening to what the translator said, Marley hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to hide it from the Khan?" β
"Well, let's keep it a secret. I believe that you don't want to fight each other again, if it is really the deputy minister Gongtun did, it is also his personal meaning, not the intention of Tubo Zampu. β
β¦β¦
I don t know when I can say it clearly, after seeing Gongdun and letting the people waiting around him go out, Lu Dongzan simply said something.
"This knife was given to Gerdan by you, what are your intentions?"
Gongton looked at the knife, his face showing a slightly complicated look, "Why is this knife in your hand?" β
"Don't care why this knife is with me, just say it, what are your intentions? Why do you want to frame the people of Tuyuhun and provoke discord between our countries? Lu Dongzan didn't go around in circles, and asked straightforwardly.
"Where did you start with this? I sent a sword to Gerdan, of course, as a gesture of friendliness. Gonton said unhurriedly.
"Don't say you don't know the weirdness of this knife." Lu Dongzan snorted coldly.
He pointed to the knife and said, "From the moment this knife is placed in front of you, your eyes have avoided those two obsidians, and you don't even dare to look at them again after just one glance at this knife, obviously, you know very well in your heart what they do." β
A trace of panic flashed in Gongton's eyes, and after a moment, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "What the prime minister said, I don't understand at all, since this knife was given to Gerdan by me, it is natural to recognize it at a glance, so you need to look carefully." β
"I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin." Lu Dongzan simply picked up the knife and put it under Gongton's nose, "Since it has nothing to do with you, then you just look at this knife and look at those two obsidians, as long as you can look at a pillar of incense for so long, I will believe you." β
Genton twisted his head.
Lu Dongzan stretched out his big hand, pressed his neck directly, and fixed his head in the position of looking directly at the waist knife.
Genton struggled desperately, but then simply closed his eyes.
Seeing that Lu Dongzan still didn't let go, he shouted angrily, "Gar Dongzan, what are you doing, let go of me." β
Emotional, he called Lu Dongzan's name.
"You can let go, but you'd better be honest with me what you want to do." Lu Dongzan let go of his hand and said coldly.
Gong Dun covered the back of his neck, turned left and right, took another sip of water, his mood barely calmed down, and pouted: "What else can I do, of course, for our Tubo." β
Lu Dongzan looked at him with a calm face, and couldn't help sneering, "Co-author, are you still a hero of Tubo?" β
"Of course, Tuyuhun and Datang are friendly, what is the benefit to our Tubo? Don't say you don't know, the more chaotic they are, the more they distrust each other, the better it will be for us to Tibet. Gonton said unashamedly.
Glancing at Lu Dongzan, he said sarcastically, "Don't help Zan Pu marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, you almost became the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, you are towards the Tang Dynasty in your heart, right?" β
