"Second Senior Brother, are your injuries completely healed? It's great that the cultivation has actually made great progress—"

When Li Shenxiang saw Xue Dingshan again, it was already more than half a year later, and the Tang-Tu coalition army had already marched westward for more than 3,000 miles.

According to the news reported by "Lijingmen", this is already the southern foot of Tanggula Mountain, and it is less than 2,000 miles away from the city of Luo.

Unfortunately, the terrain here is very peculiar, and the Tubo people got the news early and have already laid down heavy troops on the front line of Tanggula Mountain, intending to fight to the death with the Tang-Tu coalition army.

It is said that it is the Tang and Tu coalition army, but in fact, the Tuyuhun army that can get here is less than 3,000 people, and most of them exist as guards, and there are few opportunities to fight on the battlefield.

Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua, who rushed over from Fu Qi City, not only brought a lot of condolences to the army, but also brought 500 elites newly trained by the "Alai National Teacher".

Of course, time and resources are limited, even if they are elite, they are only a little stronger than the normal Tuyuhun soldiers, and they are still not comparable to the four strong teams formed before.

Even so, Yang Fang was so happy that she died.

In the battle of the "White Tiger Great Array", the "Long Biao Army" under his command was almost completely killed and wounded, and in the end, there were only eleven people who could survive, including Yang Fang.

With the arrival of these five hundred elites, Yang Fang was selected first, and in order to balance the combat power, his "Long Biao Army" was the first to be expanded to three hundred.

As for the remaining two hundred people, they naturally became Fan Lihua's personal guards, and nominally she was still the commander of Tuyuhun, and all the Tuyuhun soldiers on the front line naturally had to be reassigned to Fan Lihua's command.

Of course, with Li Shenxiang, the commander of the three armies, and Pei Xingjian in charge of the Chinese army, Xue Dingshan became a general, listening to orders under the prince's account.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Ding Shan has traveled all the way, and I have seen that many Tang Dynasty soldiers are still not suitable for the 'qi epidemic' in this place?"

"Master once said that this kind of 'qi epidemic cannot be seen or touched, and when it is serious, it can often kill people, and it should not be taken lightly!'"

After being tortured for more than half a year, Xue Dingshan, after being injured, I don't know if it was because the realm had improved, or because he had a daughter-in-law, the whole person became stable, and even spoke and acted much calmer.

Along the way, I was not only in a hurry, but also observed the terrain and landforms along the way, and of course I also saw many Tang soldiers who had to cultivate on the spot because of the "gas epidemic".

"Haha, the second senior brother is already a married person after all, and when it comes to speaking, he really looks like a second senior brother. Younger brother Li Shenxiang, I have seen my sister-in-law—"

Li Agarwood and Xue Dingshan can be neither big nor small, after all, they can be regarded as brothers who grew up together, Li Agarxiang is a few years younger and is the identity of the prince, Xue Dingshan naturally lets him everywhere.

However, when they met again, Fan Lihua had become Xue Dingshan's daughter-in-law, and this matter was also slightly mentioned in the private message from Fu Qicheng.

Seeing the two people in front of him who were a little unnatural, Li Shenxiang turned around from behind the handsome case and saluted respectfully at Fan Lihua.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't help it! His Royal Highness is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Pear Blossom is just a Xiliang grass people, so dare he deserve the gift of His Royal Highness the Prince? ——」

Fan Lihua hurriedly dodged and gave in, not daring to accept Li Shenxiang's salute.

"Sister-in-law, this is your mistake. My father once said that the officialdom will not work between our senior brothers, even if we meet his old man, my senior brothers, senior sisters, and junior sisters are just practicing teacher salutes."

Li Shenxiang is not hypocritical when he says this, such rules were set when Li Zhi was the king of Jin.

Only this Xue Dingshan is a little "pedantic", and he still calls Li Shenxiang "His Royal Highness the Prince" at every turn.

"Pear Blossom, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, this is indeed the rule of the master's respect, and you will also receive his gift......

Even Xue Dingshan blushed, but he couldn't back down at this time, and he came over to explain.

"Haha, Ding Shan, you kid can, don't be silent

Xiangdi begged for such a powerful daughter-in-law for the old Xue family, this wine must be invited-"

In the big tent, except for Di Renjie and the four military leaders, they are all generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it is Qin Huaiyu, Luo Tong, or Bai Zhen, they can be regarded as growing up watching Xue Dingshan, in their eyes, Xue Dingshan is an absolute nephew, and they are happy to see him please such a good daughter-in-law.

"Hehe, this is natural, Prince Agarwood, there is no war left and right now, Fan Shuai and General Xue have brought a lot of condolences, so they simply reward the three armies, which can be regarded as a lively event for Xue and Fan."

Seeing that the atmosphere had come to this, Di Renjie, the only literati in the big tent and the military advisor of the three armies, spoke.

If he makes a decision like this, everyone else will have no problem.

So, in a place called "Bomi" next to Tanggula Mountain, the crown prince Li Shenxiang announced the condolence edict from Fu Qi City in public, and announced the marriage of Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua.

Li Shenxiang is not only the marshal of the three armies, but also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the two sides have been fighting side by side for so long, and they have long been like a family, except for the number of independence, now even the armament and training are average.

......

The camp of the Tang-Tu coalition army was lively for three days.

Of course, the vigilance that should be there will not be relaxed at all, after all, on the front line of Tanggula Mountain, two hundred miles away, nearly 50,000 troops from Tibet have gathered.

And this 50,000 army seems to be the last strength of Tibet, if this force is annihilated, and then over the Tanggula Mountain, almost a flat river, straight to the city.

On such a day, that is, the fourth day after Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua returned to the camp, everyone was discussing in the big tent of the Chinese army, and one person hurriedly ran in.

"Report to the commander, there's an urgent military intelligence coming ahead—"

It was a captain in the "Lijing Gate", who also had a "Heavenly Immortal" level of cultivation, but he was a blue wolf.

Today's "Lijing Gate", especially the "Lijing Gate" equipped with armies everywhere, is no longer limited to the people of the Tang Dynasty, and even to the human race.

As long as you have cultivated, or you have a skill, you will have the opportunity to enter the "Lijing Gate", provided that you are loyal to Datang.

Since two years ago, there have been more than 3,000 people working in the "Lijing Gate", and Li Zhite has ordered all of them to practice the "body formula".

First, it can greatly improve the strength of the personnel in "Lijingmen" in a large area and do things better for Datang;

Second, the longer the practice of "body formula", the more it can not only provide Li Zhi with a steady stream of "chaotic qi", but also enhance his loyalty to Li Zhi as an emperor.

Why not do it?

"Bring it in—"

Hearing the voice, Li Shenxiang glanced at the door of the big tent and saw the blue wolf of the messenger, which was naturally someone he knew well.

The blue wolf did not step forward, but just stood at the door of the tent and handed the secret report in his hand to Luo Tong, who turned around and presented it to Li Agarwood with both hands.

Li Agarwood took the secret report, this is a special letter made by "Lijingmen", Li Agarwood instilled mana into it, and the information inside appeared in an instant.

"Mr. Di, you and Pei Shuai should also take a look-"

Li Shenxiang hurriedly read it and handed it to Di Renjie on the side, and after Di Renjie read it, he passed it to Pei Xingjian, who was sitting on the other side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the secret report from the Lijing Gate ahead, the 50,000 Tibetan troops across the Tanggula Mountain suddenly withdrew overnight."

"This matter, 'Lijingmen has been repeatedly verified and found to be true, and they have occupied the original camp position in Tubo, I wonder what you think of this matter?"

After the three bigwigs in the army read it, the secret report returned to Li Shenxiang's hands again, and he glanced left and right before announcing it in public.

"What, how can this be? The Tibetans withdrew

Let's go? ——」

"Is there any fraud in this? Once the defense line of Tanggula Mountain is lost, the Tubo army will no longer have any natural danger to defend, is their big theory bad brain? ——」

"From the point of view of the last general, there must be deception in it, and we must guard against it—"

"Haha, Prince...... That big handsome, this is what God wants my Tang Dynasty to do, so I should send troops to go to ——"

......

Good guy, as soon as Li Shenxiang's words fell, the Chinese army's big tent became lively, and you and I said a word, and each told his own opinion on this matter.

Li Agarwood sat there quietly, and even looked at the generals in the tent with a smile on his face, without saying a word.

It has been more than two years since he received the edict in the "Daming Palace" in Chang'an and Li Agarwood entered the barracks.

Especially in the past six months, with Di Renjie, the wise man of the world, by his side, Li Shenxiang has really grown a lot, and his calm bearing is not comparable to ordinary thirteen or fourteen-year-old young people.

"Fan Shuai, what do you think? ——」

Fan Lihua re-entered the barracks, but it was no longer what it used to be, but she still wore the handsome seal of the Tuyuhun army, and she should also sit on a chair in the Chinese military tent.

It's a pity that Xue Dingshan was standing aside, and she was embarrassed to sit down, so she simply followed Xue Dingshan and stood in the crowd of generals.

"Back to the commander, in the last general's humble opinion, if the military information reported back by Lijingmen is true, it must be that there is a big problem in some cities, otherwise the 50,000 Tubo army will have no reason to withdraw by themselves."

"The commander can order the 'Lijingmen' to continue to the west to spy on the east direction of the Tibetan army, and at the same time, we should also follow up in an orderly manner, and even ......."

Speaking of this, Fan Lihua paused, seeming to hesitate.

"Haha, this is a matter in the Chinese army, you can speak freely, Fan Shuai doesn't need to have any worries."

Hearing Fan Lihua even say two points, they were very consistent with what Li Shenxiang was thinking, but she stopped, Li Shenxiang thought that she had some concerns, so she took the initiative to encourage.

"Marshal, what does the last general mean, if possible, should our army send people to infiltrate the city? It's just that this matter is too dangerous, so ......."

The current situation of the two armies, in the three or four days since returning to the barracks, Fan Lihua has a clear understanding, after all, he is a person who has been the commander of the three armies, and he still has a natural sensitivity to some things.

The city of Luoqi is the most sacred and mysterious place in the whole of Tibet.

Since Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne of Zampu, through a series of conquests, he has successively pacified all parts of Tibet, and even the biggest opponent in the west, "Yangtong", has completely surrendered to the feet of Songtsen Gampo.

And the city of Raksa became the permanent place where Songtsen Gampo stayed.

Lu Dongzan, the first wise man of Tibet, was appointed as a great comment, learned from the Tang Dynasty, developed agricultural and animal husbandry production, and popularized irrigation.

He ordered the formulation of a written document and promulgated a "great decree" to govern Tibet, so as to deal with the relationship between the Zampu royal family and the nobles, small states and all social strata.

The establishment of administrative and military systems, the establishment of official ranks, the promulgation of laws and decrees, and the unification of weights and measures and taxation systems have promoted the comprehensive political, economic, and cultural development of Tibet.

The far-sighted Songtsen Gampo even sent the children of the nobles to Chang'an many times to study in the country, learn poetry and books, and asked the Central Plains scholars to take charge of their expressions.

In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo went to Baihai in person to marry Princess Wencheng, the daughter of the Tang Dynasty, and he himself was named the Captain of the Horse and the King of Xihai County by the Tang Dynasty.

This is a man of great talent, whether it is Li Shimin or Li Zhi, they all respect him, Li Agarwood has a lot of ears and eyes, and he is naturally impressed.

It's just that after arriving in the territory of Tibet, he really felt the excellence of Luoqicheng, and even said that he felt the horror of Luoqicheng.

It's not that he didn't send people to the city of Logos, but those who entered the city of Logos have not survived until now.

Even the elite in the "Lijing Gate" lost more than 30 people, which made Li Shenxiang feel distressed for a long time.

"Agarwood too

Son, what Fan Shuai said is not unreasonable, even if some cities are Longtan Tiger's Den, we should send people again, but the people we send should be cautious, and it is advisable to be fine rather than too much."

Fan Lihua left the barracks for more than half a year, and she didn't know a lot of the inside information, but Di Renjie knew it well.

It's just that now that the situation has changed greatly, I originally thought that the confrontation would last for a while, but the other party retreated with the whole army, which made the plan of the Tang Tu coalition army fall through.

"What Mr. Di said is very true, at this time and that time, these cities must be visited, just send people to them?"

Li Shenxiang is not a pedantic person, and he actually approves of Fan Lihua and Di Renjie's suggestions in his heart.

He originally intended to take a trip in person, after all, he also had the cultivation of the middle stage of the "Taiyi Xuan Immortal", and he also had an innate treasure like the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map", if he wanted to choose someone to go to Luo Some City, Li Agarwood was really a rare person.

It's just that as far as he is the commander of the three armies, and he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, if he really puts it forward in public, I'm afraid everyone will oppose it.

"Marshal, Master Di, since it was Rika's suggestion, why don't you let Rika go? Three days at most, two days at least, and Pear Blossom will surely understand the truth and fiction in some cities."

Seeing Li Shenxiang and Di Renjie's faces embarrassed, Fan Lihuayan couldn't understand that there must be something strange in it.

It's just that the situation is urgent, and unless you are willing to wait for nothing, a trip to the city of Logos is a must.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general is willing to accompany Pear Blossom on this trip, with the strength of the two of us, even if I encounter any danger, I can get out of the way-"

At this time, Xue Dingshan also stood up and shouted for orders.

In the middle of Xue Dingshan's "Taiyi Xuanxian", Fan Lihua was in the later stage of "Taiyi Golden Immortal", and these two were among the best in the entire Tang Tu coalition army.

If you go back more than half a year, the Tang Tu coalition army at that time, these two people were even the people who carried the top in the army, and now they jointly asked for orders to go to Luo Qi City to spy on the military situation, which seems to be a good candidate.

"Okay, since the second senior brother and sister-in-law are willing to make this trip, Agarwood naturally raises his hands in approval."

"However, there must be masters in these cities, even if the master who met Yang Fan is also a tricky person, and it is best for the senior brother and sister-in-law to change into the image of the Tubo people."

The "seventy-two" changes that Li Zhi got from Sun Wukong back then naturally passed on to his own children and apprentices, whether it was Li Agarwood or Xue Dingshan, it was also a small success.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, the two of us know it, and we have taken our leave—"

Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua both clasped their fists, nodded at everyone in the big tent, and then turned to leave.

......

The city of Logos, in an ordinary dwelling.

It was already dark, and there was no light in the room, but there was a low, high sound of conversation.

"Master, do you know whose idea it was to evacuate all the 50,000 troops on the front line?"

It turned out that there were two people in the room, one was Yang Fan, the general of the Tibetan army, and the other was naturally his mysterious master.

It seems that the two of them have been talking for a long time, Yang Fan is a little anxious, and his mysterious master has been talking about him left and right.

"Fan'er, it's time for you to change your eager temperament, otherwise you will definitely suffer a big loss in the future."

Although the light in the room is very weak, it does not affect the normal vision of these two, not to mention that one of them has an ugly face, and the other is covered with a black scarf, so what is there to look at?

The "White Tiger Great Array" was broken, and Yang Fan was also seriously injured, if it weren't for his mysterious master, Yang Fan would have died a long time ago.

It was still his master who used a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures to restore Yang Fan's cultivation in a short period of time, regroup, and fight on the battlefield again.

"Today's Tang Dynasty is much more powerful than it was two years ago, and in the entire Nanzhan Continent, there are not many countries like Tubo that retain their combat power."

"Wei Shi thought that he could use the power of Songtsen Gampo to contain the Tang Dynasty, and even destroy the combined forces of the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun.

It's a pity...... Ahem......

The mysterious demon with a black scarf on his face couldn't help but cough twice?

"Master, when were you injured? ——」

With two gentle coughs, Yang Fan immediately stood up, this situation was much more serious than the withdrawal of 50,000 Tibetan troops.

What kind of person is his master, among the peaks of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal" of the entire Three Realms, it is not easy to find an opponent.

Even Yang Fan faintly felt that he was afraid that his own master still had reservations.

Shizun is a mysterious existence, cultivation is like this, and so is identity.

Anyway, Yang Fan has been apprenticed to his master for more than 20 years, but he has never seen the true face of his master's Lushan.

At the beginning, his master was dressed as a monk, with a very ordinary appearance, but after changing his appearance a few times, Yang Fan understood that all the "faces" he saw were fake.

Later, a few years later, when he saw Shizun again, Shizun turned into a man who had changed from a monk who had attained Taoism to a member of the demon clan?

That was when the demons first began to wreak havoc in the Three Realms, and the Yang family also came to Tubo far away from Xiliang because of the demons.

It's just that whether it's a monk or a demon, the master is the master, at least he cares for Yang Fan as always.

Spells, Magical Powers, Weapons........

As long as it is needed by Yang Fan, his master will not be stingy.

In Yang Fan's heart, this mysterious master is more important than his father, as long as he is good to himself, why should he care who the master is against him?

"Fan'er, don't ask more about this matter, it's also for the teacher's carelessness, and he underestimated that Songtsan Gampo, but if you want to come to our Tibetan Zampu, I'm afraid it will be much more uncomfortable than being a teacher at this time."

This masked demon didn't let Yang Fan ask, but when he said this, he was clearly telling Yang Fan that his injury was caused by Songtsen Gampo?

"Since Songtsen Gampo cannot be used by me, it doesn't matter who ends up in the hands of this Tubo."

"However, the sheep in the west have revived, but I don't know how to communicate with that Lu Dongzan, it seems that in the end, the Tang people will pick up a bargain."

The masked demon clan was a little unwilling, just thinking about the strength of Songtsen Gampo, especially the palm that injured himself at the end......

The power of that palm should not be what a "great witch" should have, right?

"Master, what should I do now?"

What the master said, Yang Fan was not completely able to understand, but it did not hinder his trust in the master.

"Let's wait and see what happens, it's not easy in these cities, and behind that sheep fan, it seems that there is also the support of the 'demons?'

"Isn't the teacher injured, on the surface there is a conflict with Songtsen Gampo, I think he will not let people come to me now, just take this opportunity to take a look."

"Fan'er, you quickly return to the army, join your father together, and try to attract as many soldiers in the army as possible, although these people have limited combat strength, they can also stand up and cheer at critical times."

......

The night in the city of Les was so dark and cold that even the moon did not appear, but there was an amorous north wind, which blew on the dilapidated yurt roofs.

The vast majority of the people in the city have already fallen asleep, and on such a dark night, how many of them are extravagant enough to put on their lamps and light wax?

Patches of dark houses, there is no mention of the hustle and bustle of the day, the originally quiet streets, today I don't know why there are more people patrolling the night?

When will there be night watchmen in the cities of Logos?

If you distinguish carefully, you will find that these night watchmen are actually the most powerful "light army" in the entire Tibet.

This Songtsen Gampo was founded with the help of Niang and Wei, and the number is small, only more than 8,000 people, and the combat power is said to have reached the point where one is ten.

And the most special thing about this strong team is that everyone is equipped with a big dog, which should be called "Cangyi Dog" to be precise.

Now in the night patrol procession on the street, there are dozens of "cangyi dogs", each of them more than half a person tall, and you can hear a low roar when you get close.

If Li Zhi is here, he will definitely be able to recognize it, what "Cangyi Dog", isn't this the "Tibetan Mastiff" of later generations?

"Zamp, have you really decided? Your ancestors have been here for generations, and by the end of you, you are already the thirty-third generation of Zampu, do you just give up?"

This is a cave, not far from the Potala Palace, just above the Red Mountain.

In the cave, two people sat cross-legged, one was the current Tsangpu Songtsen Gampo in Tibet, and the other was a young woman.

The person who spoke was such a woman, she gently fiddled with a butter lamp, and even the words spoken were soft, which made people listen very comfortably.

"Princess, you are originally a person from the Tang Dynasty, and now that you have recovered the memory of your previous life, you should not wait to die here with this king."

"The army of the Tang Dynasty has reached Tanggula Mountain, and the person who leads the troops is still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, since he can have such courage, he is also a strange man."

"The Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for three generations, and even if Tubo does not die in the hands of rebellious ministers and thieves, it is bound to be overthrown by the Tang Dynasty. Princess, you ...... Let's go back to Datang—"

can be so opposite to Songtsen Gampo, and is called the princess of the Tang Dynasty, except for the princess Wencheng who married far away and came to Tibet, who is there?

Songtsen Gampo had many women in his life, and many of them were even more than he could count, and even princesses of various countries, large and small, he married several.

It's just that only this Princess Wencheng from the Tang Dynasty has been wearing the costumes of the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and has always been called "princess" by Songtsen Gampo.

"Zampu, although Wen Cheng is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, he is also Zampu's wife, now that the national disaster is coming, how can Wen Cheng leave you?"

"If it really comes to the moment when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, Wencheng is willing to work with Zampu to open the secret that has been passed down by word of mouth from Zampu through the ages."

The dim butter lamp flickered, which seemed to match Princess Wencheng's perseverance, flickered a few times in succession, but it was still bright.

"Huh, secret? Even the king is not sure if that is true, so why should you, princess?"

Princess Wencheng turned sideways, and the light of the ghee lamp shone right on her face.

According to her age, she is afraid that she will have to be in her fifties? He looked like he was only eighteen or nineteen years old.

The weirdest thing is not that her age and appearance do not match, but the breath on her body, Princess Wencheng, who came from the Tang Imperial Family, turned out to be a witch?
