This sudden appearance of the figure who rescued Li Si was naturally Zhang Ke.

After singing and dancing for a few days, Zhang Ke gradually lost the nature of playing, in fact, he just wanted to pass the boring time, and he didn't have any extra thoughts.

After all, with the speed of the return of the army, when they arrive in Chang'an City, it will be at least a month and a half later.

And if you wait until the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners to the sky, it shouldn't be too much to prepare for more than ten days?

Before and after, it will take at least two months.

Zhang Ke was naturally relatively bored during this time.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Accustomed to grabbing territory, snatching power from those exotic gods of Fanbang, and then letting Zhang Ke dive into the leylines and play small business games, he can't go back... What's more, it's in the dungeon.

This means that Zhang Ke will leave sooner or later.

In this land of the Western Regions, no matter how well Zhang Ke manages it, the final welfare will fall on the latecomers: bitter hatred of pressing gold threads every year and making wedding clothes for others.

Zhang Ke can't learn this kind of noble character, but he can continue to snatch... First of all, in order to avoid being forced to settle, Zhang Ke, the remaining territory in the Western Regions, must not be moved, and even if he does not move, he has to stop those bull snake gods and cultivators who have other intentions.

Prevent these people from making trouble and send him away.

But except for the Western Regions, there is no good excuse to send troops from other directions.

After all, this is not the same as it used to be.

In the situation of not being alone, but win-win cooperation with Datang, Zhang Ke also has to be a little afraid of the ideas of Datang Junchen... Besides, he also wanted to get a title from Datang, and by the way, he went to the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners to the heavens to find an opportunity to see if he could get a legal heavenly court identity for himself.

Of course, scruples do not mean that Zhang Ke has to be instigated.

After all, Kyushu, the state of etiquette... Even Datang, who is very keen on expanding its territory, has to be face-saving... Not to mention more, at least the teacher is famous, this is not a high requirement, right?

He provoked first, Zhang Ke just fought back, as for seizing power, destroying the country and exterminating the species... It's all an accident.

Whether you believe it or not, Zhang Ke must believe it!

In these days of rest, Zhang Ke is naturally thinking about this matter.

Then he thought of the emperor borrowing his own fishing.

Now, Zhang Ke's situation is not much different from that of the emperor at that time.

To this end, he informed the old Taoist priest and the snyrup, and asked them to gather a group of bold monsters and cultivators for themselves, and Zhang Ke was ready to let them go around the territory of the surrounding countries... It would be better to provoke local religious and indigenous forces to fight against them.

Of course, working hard for him, the benefits are naturally indispensable.

Pills, caves, and ideas are all available.

Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of these people, Lao Wang Daoist gathered hundreds of Dao disciples and urgently made a batch of talismans for them to escape.

Moreover, in order to facilitate perception, Zhang Ke also left a wooden carved pendant on everyone/demon's body.

As long as these people can run back alive, that Zhang Ke can save their lives, and then turn around and bite back... After all, what he is in is not cowardice, but the Tang Dynasty that chases the north and fights the surrounding neighbors crying for his father and mother.

Powers?

I am the Great Power!·jpg

The song and dance flute is actually just a disguise, in fact, every day and night recently, Zhang Ke has been working hard for the expansion of Datang's territory.

I just didn't expect it.

The people/demons he sent out to make trouble haven't received the news yet, but on the Tibetan side, they sensed that someone was reciting his name.

In other words, if you want to invite God, you not only need a special formula, but also have to have an offering... Even if the ritual is rigorous, it depends on whether the god to be invited is free at the moment, under normal circumstances, it is like inviting a city god, and it is more likely that the judge who is invited will be a subordinate judge, or simply a ghost general.

Unless it is a temple blessed by Chenghuang personally, or a disciple of Taoism

Incense on the table, in order to invite the deity.

In fact, Li Si was lucky.

I just happened to run into Zhang Ke who was fishing for law enforcement.

Therefore, although he only briefly mentioned his name, because the location was in the territory of Tibet, Zhang Ke immediately followed the induction and went outside the city of Khotan, and happened to see the scene of Li Si breaking out of the siege.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"I can't go to Middle Earth, so it's good to be able to take the Tibetan Plateau... Now Tibet is in a period of prosperity that is rare in a thousand years, the land is fertile, and the living beings are prosperous. Although it is still not as good as the land of Kyushu, it is much stronger than the Western Regions. Well, those bloody methods of Tibetan Buddha already exist in Tibet now?"

Zhang Ke muttered softly, his eyes gradually cooling.

He noticed that most of the ritual weapons carried by the Tibetan monks were made of skin and bones, except for a few pieces of metalwork.

It was originally a Buddhist magic weapon with golden light, but there was a trace of indelible blood left inside.

Under the guise of purifying sentient beings, he is doing something more vicious than harvesting and cutting.

Originally, Tubo was on his usurpation list, and with the addition of these evil gods of wreckage and human life, it was even more criminal.

So, as soon as Li Si crossed the border, Zhang Ke appeared directly and stopped these monks and warriors.

......

Although they couldn't see the face of the person opposite, the murderous aura emanating from this person made these monks tremble, and they subconsciously noticed that something was wrong, and they didn't think about it, so they knelt down and kowtowed.

As for the dignity of the monks, it is not important.

The gods were in front of them, especially this one who was visibly angry.

Saving your life is the number one priority.

Although those warriors were not aware of the changes in the qi around them, they also did the same, and bowed down to Zhang Ke together.

"It's fast, just a little thing, and God doesn't care."

Before the monks could breathe a sigh of relief.

In the next moment, as Zhang Ke spoke again, their hearts instantly rose to their throats:

"God can not blame the offense in the past, but you can't let it go easily if you hunt down and kill my people in the Tang Dynasty and cause disabilities."

Hearing this, the monk's face suddenly turned ugly, he still maintained the posture of prostrating, and said, "Venerable Tang God, please allow the little monk to explain that this matter is not what you see.

In fact, it was this thief who stole the precious medicine on the snowy mountain first, and we pursued it later. He kept fleeing, refusing to bow to the law, so he had to make this decision..."

Zhang Ke didn't reply, but glanced at Li Si lightly.

At this time, Li Si also recovered from the shock, although there were still many doubts in his mind, but he knew that now was not the time to care about these.

Although I don't know what the old man is thinking.

However, he can still understand the voice.

The language is organized in the mind.

When he looked up again at the next moment, he saw Li Si looking at the Tibetan monk with a resolute expression: "Dare to ask the monk, have I ever entered the temple, herdsmen, and nobles' homes to steal?"

The monk who spoke just now frowned when he heard this, but after glancing at Zhang Ke, he still shook his head honestly and said, "No."

"Then dare to ask the monk, did the snow lotus and cordyceps I excavate planted by someone, or did someone water and fertilize it every day?"

"Not either." The monk gritted his teeth: "Cordyceps and snow lotus can only be born and raised, and no one can plant them, let alone fertilize and water them."

Li turned to his side and took out a stone box from his arms.

Wipe off the traces of the talisman on the surface of the stone box and open it.

With his movements, a fragrance spread out of the box, just smelling the smell of escape, Li Si felt that the pain in his back became a little lighter, just a moment of trance, and then came back to his senses, he turned the side containing the medicine towards the monk.

Zhang Ke stood high, and without moving, he could see that there were two blue-white lotus flowers placed in it.

especially

It is the one on the top, the texture is warm and heavy, and visually, it is more like a snow lotus carved from green jade.

At this time, Li Si said, "The high monk can come up and check to see if there are any traces left by man on these two snow lotus."

"If there is, then I am willing to return to Tibet with you to be punished."

"But if there's not even a trace of man-made... Does that prove that these snow lotuses are ownerless things, and treasures can be inhabited by virtuous people?"

The monk glanced at Snow Lotus, then turned his head to stare at Li Si, and sighed for a long time: "It's just clever words to confuse the public, since you say so, the little monk also has something to say."

After all, it takes root and sprouts, grows and grows in the land of my Tibet, and it is my Tibetan. This snow lotus is naturally an ownerless thing to the Tubo people, but if you are a Tang person, it is not an ownerless thing, unless you have the permission of the Tubo Zampu or the surrounding people in advance, otherwise you will steal it without asking."

As soon as these words came out, Li Si was a little speechless.

「......」

He seemed to have forced himself into a corner, and in the face of the monk's remarks, Li Si was sweating profusely, but he couldn't find a reason to defend himself.

It's over, and I have offended Lord Chenghuang.

Now that he's messed things up again, Lord Chenghuang probably wants to strangle him now, right?

Seeing that Li Si was silent for a long time,

In the night, the monk knelt on the ground, with a triumphant smile on his face.

He no longer stared at Li Si, but looked at Zhang Ke's legs with his spare eyes, and said, "Respected Tang God, he has admitted the fact of stealing, you see?"

Zhang Ke's gaze swept over the scene, and finally stopped on Li Si's back - sure enough, this wild thing is still not good, of course, the monk can speak well, and he can't be blamed entirely.

It can only be said that if this was a disciple of the Dao Sect, or a local monk of the Tang Dynasty, things would not have developed like this.

He sighed lightly in his heart: "Since it is a theft, then you will take it back first to calculate the responsibility of his theft, but remember to send the person back after the punishment, whether he lives or dies." After all, I am the people of the Tang Dynasty, and I always have to return to my roots... Moreover, just with the corpse, this god will have to calculate with you when the time comes, and the matter of mutilating the people of the Tang Dynasty."

When the words fell, Li Si, who was lying on the ground, drifted towards the monk along with the stone box containing the snow lotus.

and fell on the ground before them.

The thief and the treasure medicine that had been searching for many days were right in front of him, but no one present dared to stretch out his hand.

Especially the monk who had argued with Li Si before, the smile on his face had not faded at this time, and his anger and grievances came to his heart, and his face changed for a while.

He's got it now.

The purpose of this god of the Tang Dynasty from beginning to end was not to save this thief.

In other words, saving the thief is just incidental, what the other party really wants to do is to take this opportunity to attack Tibet.

Thinking of the Western Turks who were destroyed more than ten days ago, no matter how stupid he was, he could understand that Tubo was being targeted by the Tang Dynasty, and when this thought flashed in his heart, the monk only felt that he was in a cold sweat.

"Honor..."

When he looked up and tried to speak, he found that after the person was sent to them, he disappeared.

This, how can that be good?

At this time, a Tibetan warrior asked in a low voice, "Monk, what should we do now?" Is this man going to be brought back?"

"What to do, the poor monk also wants to know what to do!"

The monk looked up at the sky and sighed heavily, "Bring someone and Snow Lotus, let's go back."

"But that Tang god..."

The monk smiled miserably, "You still think that he is here to save people? That one just needs an excuse, in their Tang dialect, this is called being famous! Now we need to hurry back and tell the Guru and even Zampu the truth of the matter."

What?

The eyes of the monks and warriors widened

Unbelievable.

Why did the Tang Dynasty attack Tibet?

You must know that their Tubo and Datang are in-laws.

Although the previous Zampu is dead, the princess of the Tang Dynasty is still alive and well.

Why is this?

The monk didn't want to say much, he just wanted to rush back to the temple as soon as possible and pass the news to the guru and then to Zampu.

If it's fast, there may be a turning point in this matter.

After all, the Tang Dynasty, which had just broken free from the quagmire of the Western Turks, would not have to fight with them again, right?

Aren't you afraid of the recurrence of the Western Regions and the resurgence of the Turks?

......

"That's the way it is, Master, what do you think we should do?"

After a long night of travel, the monks finally arrived at the nearest temple and relayed the news to the temple master.

The lama sitting across from him was also a little dumbfounded at this time, he closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before he suppressed the curse words, but then he felt a pain in his forehead.

You know, that's Datang!

It was once powerful to dominate the steppes, the Western Regions, and even Central Asia, and to subdue and enslave hundreds of countries, right?

was destroyed by two generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty.

Goguryeo, which can bring down the Great Sui, is not weak, right?

As a result, under the ravages of the current Tang Emperor, he can only retreat again and again, and it will not take a few years to follow in the footsteps of the Eastern and Western Turks.

Moreover, according to legend, Datang is also an invincible opponent in the south of the world...

However, he is a guru after all, and he still has a state of mind.

After a short period of ups and downs, he regained his composure, looked at the monk, and instructed, "I already know about this matter, but the stakes are not for me to decide alone, and I have to rely on you to make a few more trips to other temples to inform Zampu. The temple will prepare your horses for you and arrange for your escort."
