Hearing his father's admonition, Qin Ling stood still, turned his head and agreed with a smile.

"Dad, don't worry, I know in my heart, I won't risk the lives of our whole family, if Songtsen Gampo gathers thousands of defeated soldiers, then I will definitely not move, and I will respectfully welcome him back!"

Lu Dongzan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he heard this, and waved his hand.

"If you understand, go ahead!"

Although the second son is a mediocre second ancestor, but he is still very satisfied with the ability of the eldest son, he has focused on training for so long, whether it is dealing with internal affairs or leading troops to fight, the eldest son has shown extremely high ability, the eldest son is very smart and capable, what he lacks is experience, even if his ability is not as good as him, he can become a capable minister, of course, maybe not only a capable minister, but, Ming Jun, Qin Ling, who walked out of the study quickly, could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and waved his fist fiercely towards the sky, Before, his dream was that his son would succeed his father's business, become the prime minister of Tibet, and become a famous minister like his father, and leave a name in history, but today, when he knew that Songtsen Gampo was lost in the siege of the Tang army and his whereabouts were unknown, and it was likely that he would never come back, his heart suddenly became alive, and he couldn't help but think, if Songtsen Gampo died and would never come back, what would happen? The baby in the palace who can't even speak will become Zampu, so what can a baby do? Don't you have to let your father, who is the prime minister, be the regent? With the power of the military in hand, with the power and prestige of his father, what can't he do? In a few years, the young Zampu suddenly died of illness and had no heirs, wouldn't this Zampu's position be vacant? When the time comes, the father will not be what everyone expects? The position of Zampu has fallen to their Ghor family! This is a dream that he couldn't think of before, but now, this is not a dream, but something that is about to happen, and he will inherit not his father's appearance in the future, but Zampu! In the future, he will become the Zampu of Tibet! How could this not excite Qin Ling? Become the Zampu of Tibet! What else could he not get? Although, now he is the son of the great minister, and the future is immeasurable, but some people he has never been able to get, the person he wants most is the princess of the pearl, the princess of the pearl is not only a noble princess, but also the first beauty of Tubo, lively and cheerful, can be said to be the dream lover of all the young warriors of Tubo, all the time, he has always felt that he will be the best choice for the princess of the pearl, because he is the same age as the princess of the pearl, only four years older than the princess of the pearl, and he is the son of the prime minister, or one of the few warriors in Tibet, He is not only brave, but also familiar with military books and both civil and military, who else can be worthy of the princess besides him? It's just that the princess has always been polite and lukewarm to him, but he doesn't care, because Princess Zhenzhu has no better candidate besides him, as a result, Princess Zhenzhu has been haunted by the dream called Li Yong since she went to the Tang Dynasty and came back, he has also heard of Li Yong, but he is very unconvinced, doesn't he just write a few sour poems? What else will be there? What kind of muskets, artillery bells and whistles, can be compared to bows and arrows? The real thing that catches his eye is the spirits, but what's the use? At best, he is a businessman, a businessman who has a bit of literary talent and can write a few sour poems, in the final analysis, he is just a silver-like pewter spearhead, unconvinced, but Qinling has no way, he went to beg his father, but his father just shook his head, saying that he wanted to find a family for him, as for the princess Zhenzhu, she didn't see him at all, and even threatened not to marry for the rest of her life, which made him especially angry, not only angry, but also humiliated! Princess Zhenzhu would rather never marry him for the rest of her life! What is this not naked humiliation? He, Qinling, is the son of the Great Minister, of noble birth, and the first talent of Tubo who is both civil and military, but he is not as good as a little white face with a silver-like pewter spear head? But what's the solution? Princess Zhenzhu is like a demon, and Zampu doesn't care, what if he becomes Zampu? One day, he will make Princess Zhenzhu kneel in front of him! In the middle of the night, Qinling left the mansion directly, and forced the people at the city gate to open the city gate, and left the city directly, although the city of Luo became the royal capital of Tibet, but the system is not as strict as the Tang Dynasty, as the most important son of the prime minister, and when Zampu was not there, Qin Ling easily opened the city gate and left the city, the next day, the genius was bright, Qin Ling led the most trusted cavalry all the way to the north, this night many people stayed awake all night, yesterday's rumors made the people of the city of Luo were greatly shaken, Many people feel panicked, not only panicked that Zampu's whereabouts are unknown, but also panicked that their relatives may also die in Tuyuhun, this time Zampu personally led the troops to take away a lot of Luocheng family children, compared to the civil shock, the shock in the palace is especially big, because Zampu is the backbone of the palace, now the main heart bone is missing, the whole palace is panicked, although Songtsan Gampo has a concubine but no queen, the status of the concubine in the palace is not high, at this time, Princess Zhenzhu took out the princess money, Under her intervention, although the palace was panicked, there was no chaos in the end, and it was not until this time that Princess Zhenzhu realized that it was not easy for her brother, who used to hide under her brother's wings, she only saw her brother giving orders to scold Fang Xuan, and now when she needed to take an idea to save her brother, she found that she was completely numb, clueless, nowhere to start, what is the most important thing now? One is to stabilize the situation, the other is to send troops to support the brother, hoping that the brother is safe and sound, Princess Zhenzhu found that the best thing she could do was to pray, early the next morning, Princess Zhenzhu left the palace with her maid and went to the Great Minister's Mansion, along the way she could clearly feel the panicked atmosphere in the royal city.

"Prime minister, have you arranged the soldiers and horses to go to the battle?"

When Princess Zhenzhu saw Lu Dongzan, she asked straight to the point, and Lu Dongzan was relieved.

"Don't worry, princess, my son Qinling has already set off this morning with five thousand horsemen, the cavalry pursued by the Tang Dynasty cannot be too many, if you can meet Zampu, with these five thousand horses is enough to protect Zampu back, of course, I will continue to transfer troops, but it will take time."

Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, she didn't expect that the prime minister had already sent Qinling to send troops, you know, it must be very dangerous to send troops to Tuyuhun now, and the prime minister already had a son who was lost in Tuyuhun, and he immediately sent Qinling to lead the troops. Princess Zhenzhu said with emotion when she heard this.

"The Prime Minister's family is really loyal to Tubo, Zhengzan Zangdun fell into Tuyuhun and now his whereabouts are unknown, and the Prime Minister asked Qinling to lead the troops to Tuyuhun overnight, and when his brother returns, he will not forget the loyalty and merits of the Daxiang family."

Lu Dongzan listened humbly.

"The princess really tortured the old minister when she said this, it is the duty of the old minister to be loyal to Zampu, besides, Zampu has the grace of knowing the old minister, even if the old minister is broken, why not?"

Princess Zhenzhu nodded.

"Brother, a loyal courtier like you will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety. Prime minister, the most important thing now is two things, one is to rescue my brother, and the second thing is to maintain stability, and it is said to the outside world that Zampu has escaped the pursuit of the Tang army and is on the way back to Tibet, and it is up to the prime minister to maintain stability. ”

Lu Dongzan nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, princess, there is an old minister, there will be no chaos."

With Lu Dongzan's assurance, Princess Zhenzhu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and resolutely said.

"Okay, then the city will be handed over to the prime minister, and I want to gather a group of guards to go to Tuyuhun to find my brother."

Lu Dongzan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said.

"Princess, this must not be done!"

Princess Pearl asked suspiciously.

"Why not?"

Lu Dongzan explained.

"After all, the old minister is just a courtier, and the princess needs to be in charge, so that the situation can be stable, some things are not easy for the old minister to decide, so the princess needs to decide, and the prince is still in infancy, the most afraid is that someone is not good for the prince, and the princess is better to stay and protect the prince. The old minister dared to say, in case, in case Zampu did not return, the prince still needs to inherit Zampu's throne, if, if, even the prince is also"

Originally, Princess Zhenzhu planned to take the guards to Tuyuhun to search for her brother's whereabouts after she explained it, although Qin Ling had already led the troops, she definitely didn't dare to go too deep, but she dared! Even if she dies in Tuyuhun, she will find her brother! However, after listening to Lu Dongzan's words, she couldn't help but hesitate, yes, there is also a little nephew! She had to stay behind to take care of and protect her little nephew, if her brother really died in Tuyuhun, this would be her brother's only blood and bones! Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice.

"I know that the princess cares about Zampu, in fact, even if the princess brings the guards to Tuyuhun, it won't make much difference, because the princess doesn't know Tuyuhun at all, so, according to the minister's opinion, the princess still stays in Luoqi City and waits for details, and at the same time can take care of and protect the little prince, the princess can rest assured, the old minister will definitely send more people to rescue Zampu."

Princess Zhenzhu nodded.

"Well, if there is any news, please send someone to inform me as soon as possible."

Under the scorching sun, a dusty cavalry galloped on the road, they looked unkempt and very down, the first person was really Songtsan Gampo, but the original high-spirited Songtsan Gampo now looks like a homeless man on the plateau, and there is no trace of the nobility and majesty of Tubo Zampo, Songtsan Gampo took this thousand guards around a big circle, and felt that the Tang army had withdrawn the pursuing cavalry, so he turned back to the difficulty, and returned to Tubo cautiously, but it took so many days, and the dry food had long been consumed, They also did not dare to forcibly seize the small tribes of Tuyuhun scattered all over the place for fear of exposing their whereabouts, so it was very difficult, it can be said that people were sleepy and lacking, but although they insisted on it very hard, but they had not encountered the pursuers of the Tang Dynasty since they escaped from the encirclement, it can be seen that the hardships of this road are worth it, and they will be able to return to Tubo immediately, as long as they enter Tubo, it will be completely safe, not only safe, but also get supplies, you can eat meat, you can drink wine.

"Let's hold on a little longer, we can return to Tubo after crossing that mountain, that is, we have got rid of the pursuing soldiers of Tubo, and we can eat meat and drink wine after crossing that mountain!" Songtsen Gampo shouted.

Some of the sluggish guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, and when they thought that they would soon be able to eat meat and drink mare's milk wine, they drooled out, although they would soon be able to return to Tibet, but Songtsen Gampo still did not relax their vigilance, while urging the horse forward while carefully observing, where the army marched will leave traces, the larger the cavalry will leave traces, the more obvious the traces left by the cavalry, people can control the defecation, but can not control the horse defecation, so the army will definitely leave horse manure, especially in this narrow valley, It was even more obvious, however, they did not find dense horse manure, and Songtsen Gampo breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.

"It's remote and difficult to travel here, the Tang army really didn't pursue here, let's speed up, hurry up and cross this mountain, and we'll go home!"

Many of the guards couldn't help cheering when they heard this, they escaped all the way, they were even ready to die in battle, and now they are finally safe? Songtsen Gampo turned his head and commanded.

"Send someone to inform the scouts and tell them to come back soon! The rest of the people hurry up! ”

Although the valley is very narrow, not conducive to the march of the army, but Songtsen Gampo only has eight or nine hundred guards who can pass quickly, the most pitiful thing is that they are about to have no extra supplies, whether it is Songtsen Gampo or a group of guards are a little excited, there is a feeling of escaping death, at first they were still frustrated by the defeat of the army, but later, they just want to live, now, they finally escaped death, how not to feel excited? The war horse is galloping, as if even the war horse can feel the joy of getting rid of danger, and then turn the mountain pass in front of it, and you will reach Tubo, and you will be safe! That's the mountain of Tubo, that's the blue sky of Tubo, when he looked up, he was suddenly stunned, there were mountain eagles in the blue sky constantly circling and chirping, Songtsen Gampo's face changed greatly, he suddenly reined in the war horse, looked up at the war horse hovering in the sky, and said in a deep voice.

"Oh no, there's probably an ambush here! Quickly turn around, the back team becomes the front team, and exit the valley! ”

With Songtsen Gampo's loud shout, the surrounding guards couldn't help but be taken aback, and they all shouted in panic.

"Retreat! Retreat! Turn around and back off! There is most likely an ambush ahead! ”

"Where is the ambush?"

Just when the guards turned around in panic, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound, and saw that many boulders suddenly rolled down from the top of the mountain on the valley, and the rumbling boulders were piled up in the past, blocking their retreat, and the war horses continued to neigh because of fright, but the guards were even more panicked in their hearts.
