Chapter 81: Taihao is trapped in Dafeichuan
When Kozha Demba heard Taihao say that he had caught him by mistake, he didn't care, but suddenly said with some kindness: "I haven't eaten for a day, are you hungry, let's go on our way, go to the front inn to rest for one night before leaving." ”
Taihao ignored him, thought for a moment, and continued to shout: "Kuozha Hero, just let me go, I really have something important to do." ”
Kozha Demba said: "If you are verbose, you will cut off both of your legs!" ”
Taihao knew that he could no longer escape the control of Koza Demba, so he had to go to the inn with him. In the inn, Taihao secretly looks for an opportunity to escape, but Koza Demba never leaves his side. When he was about to go to bed, Taihao begged him to untie the ropes that bound his hands and feet, and after repeatedly promising Kozha Demba that he would not run, he untied him. As night fell, Taihao finally thought of a plan, and slipped out lightly while Koza Demba was asleep. However, when he reached the door, he saw a figure that was none other than Kozademba. Taihao thought he had seen a ghost, and he was suddenly startled.
Kozha Demba said coldly: "Boy! Where are you going? ”
Taihao was a little flustered, but still tried to lie: "I ...... I'm just out for a walk. ”
Koza Demba sneered, "Do you think I'll believe it? Just stay here and don't try to escape. ”
Taihao could only obediently return to the room again, but Kozha Demba was still not at ease, and put on a "rope array" to trap him.
It wasn't until the next day that Kozha Demba lifted the "Suo Luo Array", tied Taihao's hands and feet again, and continued on the road, and in this way, after about 20 days, he finally arrived in Tubo. Koza Demba stopped the carriage steadily, lifted the carriage car curtain, removed the ropes of Taihao's hands and feet, and said to him: "It's here, get off, you can't run away if you want to." ”
Taihao stepped out of the carriage and saw the towering snow-capped peaks standing in front of him, and he was instantly attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he even forgot the words of Kozha Demba. He followed Koza Demba along the mountain path, his breath getting shorter. As soon as he arrived here, he felt the thinning of the air, and he was not used to the environment of this plateau when he grew up in the plains. "This section of the mountain road can't be crossed by horse-drawn carriages, let alone horseback, so you can only go on foot, and after passing through this snow-capped mountain, you will arrive at my house." ”
In this kind of place, Taihao can no longer escape, and in the past twenty days, Taihao has been thinking about his days in Pinghe City. But now he is more worried, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, has the traitor been suppressed? Fortunately, the "General's Order" was handed over to Lord Fuganhe in advance, hoping that he could smoothly dispatch troops to arrest Yao Fuji and Bi Luojing. In his heart, he always misses Mao Ru, Nian Yu, Coriander Zhi, Qi Yu, Shao Ling, and Dumb Shan, and he is even more concerned about the elder brother Gusheng who he has not seen for a long time. But now, being caught here by Kozademba, Taihao can only pray silently, hoping that he can return to Pinghe City as soon as possible. He secretly observes his surroundings and prepares to escape when he gets the chance.
They kept walking forward, and Koza Demba seemed to see Tai Hao's thoughts, and said to Tai Hao: "Boy, don't think about running away, there are countless corpses buried under this snowy mountain, and even flies can't fly from here, so you can obediently write out the secret book of "Snow Cat Fluttering" here, and you can't leave a word." ”
Tai Hao asked: "Kuozha Daxia, there is one thing I have never understood, your martial arts are so high, why do you still practice "Snow Cat Fluttering"? ”
Koza Demba sneered and replied: "What do you kid know, you only know that "Snow Cat Fluttering" is a volume of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill", but you don't know the secret hidden in it. ”
Taihao was curious: "What secret?" ”
Koza Demba said: "How can this tell you, you just need to write out the secret book of "Snow Cat Fluttering" completely and silently, and don't worry about the rest. ”
Since Taihao learned "Snow Cat Fluttering", he has to review it every night before going to bed, but he has never found any secrets hidden in this secret book. In his subconscious, it seems that he has heard of the secret book of "Snow Cat Fluttering" somewhere, and he has re-read the secret book and has not found any secrets. There are so many gangs on the rivers and lakes, both good and evil, they all want to get this cheat, listening to what Koza Demba said, it seems that those who want to get the cheats are not all trying to practice "Snow Cat Flutter", but to find the secret hidden in this cheat. Taihao listened to Kozha Demba's words and speculated in his heart, but he also knew that now was not the time to study the cheats. I can only put aside these doubts for the time being, and think about how to escape.
Tai Hao continued to ask Kozha Demba, "Kozha Hero, dare to ask where is this place?" ”
Kozha Dengba said: "I will go to Dafeichuan in front, my home is there, and it is also the only place to enter Tibet. ”
Taihao said: "Da Fei Chuan? Why is this name so strange? ”
"Once in this place, the Eastern Empire fought a great war with Tibet, and later the Eastern Empire was completely annihilated, and the Tibetans won a complete victory. Isn't it cruel that you, a citizen of the Eastern Empire, come here with the corpses of your compatriots under your feet? ”
When Taihao heard this, the soles of his feet instantly became weak, and he didn't dare to take a step easily.
Koza Demba laughed, "Don't be afraid, those bones are covered in heavy snow, and nothing can be seen. ”
As they spoke, they came to a house with rich colors and beautiful shapes, and Tai Hao saw that the walls of this house were decorated with delicate patterns of various colors of paint, which looked particularly brilliant in the sun. The roof is covered with wooden planks and the corners are decorated with streamers, giving him a sense of lightness and beauty. When he followed Koza Demba into the house, he saw that the room was decorated with soft and comfortable cushions and thick red and yellow blankets, which made him feel extremely warm here.
Koza Demba said: "This is my home, you can start writing silently here, bring you meals regularly every day, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are ready." ”
Taihao didn't respond to the matter of writing the cheats, but just sighed: "Your home is so beautiful, I really didn't expect you to live here." ”
Over the next few days, Tai Hao began to write down the cheats of "Snow Cat Fluttering", and whenever he had the chance, he secretly observed his surroundings and tried to find a chance to escape. Unfortunately, Kodza Demba kept an eye on him, not only treating Taihao as a prisoner, but also treating him like a prisoner. Tae-ho felt more and more desperate, and he realized that the chances of escape were very slim.
One day, several Tibetan soldiers came to the house of Kozha Dengba and issued an edict to Kozha Dengpa, which probably read something like this: Within ten days, the Eastern Empire and its pro-embassy will pass by here, and Lord Kozha Dengba will be ready to greet him and escort the princess of the Eastern Empire to Luo.
Tai Hao heard the general meaning of this edict, that is, the prince of the Eastern Empire wanted to marry to Tubo, passing through Dafeichuan, hoping that Kozha Dengba would greet the princess and escort her to the capital of Tubo. Taihao was a little surprised when he heard the news. He knew that if this plan was carried out smoothly, Tibet and the Eastern Empire would form a marriage relationship and support each other's development. However, he also understood that if the princess was unwilling to marry into Tibet, it could lead to warring or even large-scale wars. He thought of Princess Sangya going to Pinghe City to find Taihao some time ago, and Princess Sangya said that she came to Pinghe City because she was avoiding the emperor's desire to make peace with Tubo. But this edict said that "within ten days the embassy of the relatives will pass through this place", could it be that Sangya has returned to the capital, and promised to marry to Tibet, if this is the case, then he will be saved.
At this time, after receiving the edict, Kozha Demba looked at Tai Hao and sneered: "Boy, are you still planning to run away?" If you don't stay honest, your life will be ruined. ”
Taihao thought to himself: Are you a roundworm in my stomach, you know what I think in my heart!
Taihao was not frightened by Kozha Demba's threat, he glared at Kozha Demba and said, "I want to hear who this princess of the Eastern Empire is now?" When did she start leaving the Eastern Empire and set off for Tibet? ”
Koza Demba snorted coldly: "You are really a curious guy, you should do less of these idle things, and concentrate on writing out the cheats of "Snow Cat Fluttering" silently. ”
Taihao lowered his head and pondered, with a thousand thoughts in his heart. He knew that if the princess of the Eastern Empire really arrived, he would have to have a proper plan to save himself from meeting with Princess Sanya. When the time comes, it is highly likely that Koza Demba will not allow himself to go out and will miss the opportunity to meet Princess Sanya.
Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by several shouts: "Help! Hero, please save us! ”
Kozha Demba hurriedly ran to the door, Taihao was in the house, and heard the voice of Kozha Demba outside the house: "Why are you a few again, where have you gone, you have so many injuries, hurry up to the house, I will bandage you." ”
Koza Demba led them into the house, and Tai Hao saw that they were four children of seven or eight years old. The children's faces were stained with tears and their clothes were tattered, apparently from falling from the mountain. When he asked the children what had happened to him after he finished the bandage, the children said in a trembling voice: "We went up the mountain today to pick up wood, and we accidentally slipped and fell, followed by a group of thieves, who were so vicious, beating us and robbing us of our things. ”
Kozha Demba asked, "What kind of thief is that he dares to do anything wrong in Dafeichuan?" ”
Taihao saw the pain of the children at this time, and his heart was very unbearable. So he spoke, "Hero, these children are wounded, what can we do to help them?" ”
Koza Demba sneered, "What are you doing? Do you still want to go up to the snowy mountains and drive away all those thieves? Stop daydreaming, they're not easy to deal with. In fact, I once beat up those thieves, but to no avail, they claimed to 'rob the rich and help the poor', but they did some things to bully children, although they didn't know kung fu, but they were ruthless. ”
Tai Hao said: "The princess of our Eastern Empire is about to come to your Tubo and kiss, when passing by here, if something happens, your Tubo emperor will blame you, Kuozha Daxia." ”
Kozha Demba said: "The leader of our Tubo is not called the emperor, but Zampu. ”
"Okay, Zamp." Tai Hao thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "I have thought of a way to protect these children, and also allow us to solve the problem of the princess of the Eastern Empire." ”
