In the morning light, the spring rain drifted like nothing, sprinkled lightly, and the trees, oil-paper umbrellas, and the roofs covered with blue bricks and blue tiles were densely mist, piled up layer by layer, and then formed large droplets of water to fall.

The supreme administrator of Weizhou Mansion, the courtyard of Li Yanzhi, the lord of the assassin history, in the morning light, in the rain and fog, it became more and more simple and elegant, elegant and quiet.

The big red lantern hanging in front of the lintel looks shadowy in the rain and fog, the main door of the vermilion beast's head is closed, because it is still early, no one has entered or exited, and even the side door next to it has not been opened.

"It's been five days since the princess came down from the mountain, hasn't she? I don't know when I will be able to leave, she lives here, we even sleep, we have to mention the spirit of twelve, for fear that something is wrong, and the whole family will have to accompany the funeral. ”

The door head scolded him, "Zhang Er, the affairs of the nobles are also something we can discuss?" Be careful that what you say has been heard. It's a light beating, and I can't say I'll drive you back, and I'll lose all my errands. ”

When the man named Zhang Er heard this, he shrank his eyebrows, and he held back for a long time and said: "Speaking of which, the princess lives with us, and there are also many benefits, people who come in and out will give a few dollars to reward, and the poor master is on duty to watch the night, but he is more cautious than before, and he is not so free......"

As he was talking, he heard a banging on the door outside.

Everyone stood up, and their brows welled up with joy: I don't know which official came to visit the princess, but I hope it is a person with a lot of money.

Opening a crack in the side door, I saw a man with a high nose and deep eyes wearing a bearded suit, chattering, stuffing a gilded post, they took the post, and they didn't recognize any of the words on it.

A few porters took the post and looked at it over and over, and said hesitantly: "We don't understand what he said, looking at his clothes and appearance, he looks like the Tubo people who came to visit the princess two days ago, and this post looks like Hu Wen, can you hand it over?" The princess lives here, so we have to be careful in everything.

But it's not careful, someone has visited before, and it's not like this, you have to pass the post through the crack in the door, and you don't even dare to open the side door easily.

Because he was scolded before, Zhang Er volunteered, "I'll go out and take a look, see if anyone inside can speak Datang dialect, ask clearly, everyone be smart, watch the door well, and if anything is wrong, let me in in time." If you get a reward, you have to share it together. ”

He walked out of the side gate, and saw a neat line of horses under the steps of the gate, all of them wearing bearded clothes, with red and dark complexions, and looking tall and dusty.

The one at the head rode a red and bronze horse, wrapped in a dark coat, and wore deerskin boots, with a zigzag face, high cheekbones, protruding eyebrow bones, thin lips that looked cold and ruthless, and a face shaped like a knife cut, with sharp edges and corners.

"This master, dare to ask what you call it?" Zhang Er nodded and asked with a smile on his face.

"You just said that the great minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan, asked to see Her Royal Highness the princess."

As soon as he smiled, the coldness disappeared, and he seemed gentle and amiable.

Zhang Er couldn't help but be surprised that he was fluent in Tang dialect, but as the porter of Lord Shi's family, he had still seen many dignitaries and nobles, and he bowed down and replied with a smile: "The villain will go to report and pay off the prime minister and the military masters later." ”

When he saw the bulging purse that the Tubo minister threw into his hand on the horse, Zhang Er's smile became more and more genuine, "Forgive me, I should have asked you to go in directly, but the princess was assassinated a few days ago and is still sick, and now the assassin wants to go back to this house, and he has to wait for the permission of the general to enter." The villains don't dare to make their own decisions, so please wait a while. ”

"Hmm. How is Her Royal Highness the Princess recovering these days? Although he knew that the porter couldn't know too much news, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but inquire.

He got out of Chang'an easily, and quickly entered the Weizhou Mansion along the way, and it was a happy thing to hear that the family sending team did not leave, but he didn't expect them to stay because of Li Yuntong's assassination, and they didn't care about waiting for the Weizhou Mansion to arrange someone to accompany him, so he hurriedly asked the address and rushed over.

Zhang Er, who was about to turn around, hurriedly replied, "I heard that it has gotten a lot better, and I was helped around the yard by my sisters yesterday." ”

Lu Dongzan's heart was a little calmer, and he nodded and said, "Let's wait, you can go." ”

Zhang Erle ran back in a hurry.

After about a quarter of an hour, the middle door was opened, and Li Jingheng led people out and hugged his fists and said, "It's been hard to come from afar......

Lu Dongzan jumped off the horse, and the two of them made a cold noise, and walked side by side towards the gate.

He had his own porter and the guards who came with him to greet the rest of the team.

After drinking tea in the main hall and expressing his gratitude to the Tibetan minister for visiting his sister-in-law, Li Jingheng was ready to serve tea to the guests, but when he heard Lu Dongzan's request to see the princess, he hesitated, but nodded and said, "It's okay." I thought that it would be hard to come from afar, and I wanted to ask you to go back to wash and eat, and it would not be too late to leave to see you in a few days, so I would accompany you to meet the princess in the future, and save you from worrying. ”

There is a difference between men and women, the officials of Weizhou Mansion and the envoys of Tubo came to visit, they were all accompanied by Li Jingheng and his son, and they did not enter the inner courtyard to see Li Yuntong, but Li Jingheng knew that Lu Dongzan and his sister had some friendship, with his status in Tubo, there was no harm in making more friends, thinking that my sister was in a better spirit in the past two days, and she could sit in the hall for a while, and with him with her, it would not hurt to meet.

When the two of them arrived at the Green Garden, the rain was already a little heavy, and Chuncao came out to see it, and hurriedly opened the umbrella to cover Li Jingheng's head, and said with a smile: "When the prince sees the rain, why don't you ask someone to wait for an umbrella, but stand here against the rain, and when Her Royal Highness the princess sees it for a while, you can't blame us people." ”

As she spoke, she also stretched out her hand and beckoned another palace maid to hold an umbrella for Lu Dongzan.

Li Jingheng walked briskly and said: "The rain was not heavy just now, and it didn't take long to delay the work, so I didn't let them get the umbrella, I accompanied the prime minister to meet Her Royal Highness the princess and came out, it's okay." ”

Seeing Li Jingheng and Lu Dongzan entering, the guards retreated to the long corridor outside the weeping flower gate in the inner courtyard and waited.

Because this is another courtyard, it is very different from the magnificent style of the official residence, there are many winding paths, leaking windows and doors, and this courtyard where Li Yuntong lives is specially used for Miss Boudoir.

Like the man who lives in this courtyard today.

When he saw Li Yuntong's small face with skin like snow, red lips and bright teeth, and long eyebrows and clear eyes, Lu Dongzan felt that this courtyard was elegant and elegant, but it was not worthy of her dignified beauty.

Well, after all, it is Her Royal Highness the Princess, elegant and atmospheric, and it is more suitable to live in that gorgeous and magnificent and magnificent house.

Defeiying sent a message to Zampu, telling him that he was in favor of building a palace and welcoming Her Royal Highness the princess to move in......

Seeing that Lu Dongzan looked at herself and didn't speak after asking about her condition, Li Yuntong was a little strange, but she didn't ask directly, she only said with a smile: "...... Minister Lao visited, I was fine, and I could leave after two days of rest. Didn't the Son of Heaven stay in Chang'an, how could you catch up like this? ”

Lu Dongzan came back to his senses, bowed down and replied: "The minister is restless in Chang'an, and he often thinks about the important tasks entrusted by Zampu to the minister, worried that the princess will not be able to withstand the fatigue of the long journey, and is afraid that the desolation and depression along the way to the west will make the princess disheartened and return halfway, so I asked the Son of Heaven to let me return to Tibet and ensure that the princess is safe all the way......."

Although he said it lightly, Li Yuntong knew that it must have taken a lot of trouble for them to catch up with the team this time, after all, the Son of Heaven deliberately kept him in Chang'an, just didn't want to let him go back, he was clever and fickle, he was the right-hand man of Tubo Zampu Songtsen Gampo, and keeping him in Chang'an was equivalent to reducing Tubo's strength.

Not to mention Tianzhu, Dashi and other countries do not want Tang Fan to marry and be harmonious and friendly.

She asked with concern, "The prime minister must have encountered a lot of risks on the way......

Lu Dongzan replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not like the princess who is thrilling these days......"

Although it is not like Li Yuntong who has been in the water these days, Lu Dongzan was able to leave Chang'an this time, and it did take a lot of effort and thought.

Although he repeatedly applied to the Son of Heaven to escort the princess back to the snowy plateau, the Son of Heaven who invited him to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, listen to songs and dances to spend time every day, always politely refused when he heard his request. If he walked strongly, he lived up to the kindness of the Son of Heaven, and slipped away quietly, losing the dignity of Tibet and his identity......

He was very sick, no matter how many imperial doctors he changed, how many elixirs he used, it didn't work, and he was about to die, he asked to see the Son of Heaven for the last time, and when the Son of Heaven visited him, he asked him what his last wishes were.

Lu Dongzan said that because he had a dream, he dreamed that the protector god of Tibet complained and blamed him, saying that he had not fulfilled his duties, that the princess had been on the road for many days, and that the envoy who married the princess was still stranded in Chang'an. Therefore, the Dharma Protector God inflicted sin on him and caused him to suffer from a strange disease that could not be cured......

He only has one wish, that is, to be able to get closer to Tibet in the last moment, even if he dies on the way back to Tibet, he has no regrets.

The Son of Heaven refused his request, but promised him to go to the mountain to pray to the gods, to worship the protector god of Tibet, and to ask for forgiveness from the gods.

Lu Dongzan chose a mountain farthest away from Chang'an, although the Son of Heaven sent soldiers and horses to protect it, but he still made a golden cicada on the way out of the shell, and led his men and horses all the way to catch up with the team to send his relatives......

If the Son of Heaven sees that he is resolute, it will be gone.

He didn't explain these to Li Yuntong in detail, but smiled: "Anyway, I can see that Her Royal Highness the princess is safe, and no matter how much the ministers suffer, I don't feel anything." I only hated that the minister came a little late, and did not block the sword of those Turkic thieves for you. ”
