Datang border.

The junction of Shanzhou and Tuyuhun.

On the Gobi Desert, a team of 100 horses is camping here to rest.

It is Wang Xuance, Zheng Yang and others!

They had just arrived in the past two days and identified themselves with the Tang Border Army.

There are two reasons for this.

First, if they don't communicate well with the Tang Army, if they encounter any emergencies and need to flee back to the territory of the Tang Dynasty immediately, I am afraid that before the enemy catches up, they will have to be cut down by their own people as enemy troops.

As for the second one......

Mainly because they don't know the way.

There are many Gobi Deserts in this vicinity, and there are no roads in the universal sense.

The sky is full of yellow sand, and there are strange rocks everywhere.

If no one had pointed the way, it is estimated that the mission would have died here before they had even crouched.

Camp.

The temperature difference between day and night is huge, and the days are quite warm, but the morning and evening are very cold.

It's early in the morning, and everyone is warming up around the fire.

"I don't know when the Tibetan mission raised by that son of a bitch will come......"

"yes, I'm about to freeze into a bear!"

"Don't say it's frozen or not, I really don't understand the fuck, it's so cold morning and night, why is it still sunburning?!"

“……”

Complaints abounded.

Wang Xuance was silent.

He knew that these guys were used to living a good life in Chang'an City, and it was normal for them to suddenly become miserable and unbearable.

It's nothing to complain about a couple of words.

But at this time.

In the distance, there was a rush of horses' hooves.

Wang Xuance narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction carefully-

It's from Datang.

He turned his head to Zheng Yang next to him and asked:

"Can you tell how many people there are?"

Zheng Yang's ear and eyesight are excellent, and he is naturally a good material for scouts.

He listened carefully for a long time, and then said in a low voice:

"Listen to the horses' hooves...... There are two horses. ”

"But I guess, there's only one person."

Double Ride!

This is an unusual specification......

Could it be a scout?!

Wang Xuance suddenly became vigilant, and shouted to everyone around him:

"Alert!"

The hundred people who were still complaining pulled out their sabers at the same time.

No matter how dissatisfied they are, they still remember their mission.

Everyone tightened the string in their heads.

Look in the direction of the sound of the horse's hooves!

The sound of the horse's hooves was getting closer.

When they arrived, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The person who came was wearing the clothes of the Tang Dynasty.

"Who is Wang Xuance?"

The man rolled over and dismounted, and moved sharply.

He introduced himself:

"I came from Chang'an, and I was a messenger sent by Lu Yuma to deliver a letter to Wang Xuance."

"The location where you camped was also pointed out to me by the border army."

"Please rest assured."

As he spoke, the messenger pulled a letter from his bosom.

This is indeed very convincing.

There is a huge Gobi Desert, and without the guidance of the border army, ordinary people would not have been able to find their camp so straight anyway.

Wang Xuance took a step forward and arched his hand towards the messenger:

"It's down there."

The messenger hurriedly handed him the letter and wiped the ashes from his face:

"Look, the colt is in a hurry, I'm afraid you've already done something to the mission."

"It's okay, it's okay......"

"You shouldn't have met the Tibetan Mission yet, right?"

Wang Xuance was stunned.

I haven't read the letter yet, though.

But what does it mean to hear the messenger......

It seems that the land colt has changed his mind?

He nodded hesitantly, indicating that he had indeed not yet ambushed the Tibetan Mission.

Immediately, Wang Xuance unfolded the letter in his hand.

I watched it for a long time.

Wang Xuance raised his head in shock:

"What does this mean......

"Didn't we come to ambush the Tibetan Mission?"

"Is it difficult, do you really want to be a caravan?!"

The messenger spread his hands:

"I don't know if it's down there."

"The contents of this letter are top secret, and no one knows about it except the colt and you."

Wang Xuance felt that his people were numb.

I thought that he came out incognito and made contributions.

It took a long time.

It's really fucking going to be a caravan and sell wine to the Tubo people!!

………………

A few days later.

Lu Dongzan led his delegation through Shanzhou, on the border of the Tang Dynasty.

This is the final hurdle.

After this, they will take the road to Tuyuhun and return to Tibet.

"Apa, Tuyuhun has a very bad relationship with us...... Nothing should happen on the way, right? ”

On Qinling, riding on his horse, looked at his father with a little concern:

"It's part of the Silk Road."

"Hear the rumors...... Horse bandits seem to have been numerous. ”

Lu Dongzan didn't blink his eyelids.

He said lightly:

"The two countries do not fight each other, this is the rule of the Han people."

"Since Tuyuhun has already declared himself a vassal to Datang, then they will do things according to the rules of Datang in the future."

"I have the customs clearance document written by the Tang Emperor himself."

"If something happens to the mission in Tuyuhun, whether it is instructed by them or not, but if something happens to us, it will not give Datang face."

"On Qinling, you are also my son......"

"How can you be so cowardly as a mouse, looking ahead?"

On Qinling was scolded by his father, and immediately shrunk his neck, not daring to say anything more.

Out of Shanzhou, as Lu Dongzan said, the road was safe and sound.

But soon after entering the Gobi.

In front of the mission, a team of people suddenly appeared.

A thin young man stopped in front of the mission, smiled at them, and arched his hand:

"Dare to ask you, do you have any extra water?"
