Soon after, Taihao passed by a small town called Ma Erkang. Because he was too tired, he wanted to find an inn to rest. But after some inquiry, it was learned that there was no inn in Ma'erdang City, so Taihao knocked on the door of a common people's house.

The door was opened by an old man, and the old man asked, "Dare to ask Childe, who are you looking for?" ”

"This uncle, Xiaosheng has something to ask for, I wonder if I can stay in your mansion for one night?" Taihao said politely.

When the old man heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "This son, our family is already a Bo Zuo family, where can we still receive guests?" ”

Tai Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You might as well bring some silver with Xiaosheng, even if you make some additions." ”

Seeing Taihao's sincere attitude, the old man finally nodded and invited Taihao into his home. Taihao entered the house and saw that although the house was simple, it was clean and tidy, and he secretly admired it in his heart. After thanking the old man, he sat down in his chair and recuperated.

The old man asked, "The old man looks tired from the journey, is it tired?" ”

Taihao nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaosheng has walked a long way on the journey and needs to find a place to rest. ”

The old man said with a smile: "This Ma Er Dare City because there are no people from outside the city all year round, so there is no inn in the whole city, if you don't dislike it, you can rest here, and the old man will prepare some food for you." ”

Taihao said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle, it's really troublesome for you." ”

The old man invited Tai Hao to a seat, poured him a cup of tea, and then brought out some simple dishes and barley cakes for him. Taihao tasted these simple foods and felt that the taste was very light, but they were very sweet and delicious.

The old man saw that Taihao was eating with relish, and said with a smile: "The ingredients here are all grown by themselves, and no seasonings are added, so the taste is relatively light." However, this is good for the body, you can stay healthy, and you won't get sick if you eat it. ”

Taihao listened to the old man's words and nodded his head in gratitude. He knew that this old man must be an insightful old-timer, who not only knew how to maintain health, but also was good at growing vegetables and fruits.

After eating, Taihao thanked the old man and said that he would continue to hurry. The old man asked, "Haven't you asked where Gongzi is going?" ”

Tai Hao replied: "I am going to the Eastern Empire, dare to ask the uncle, do you know how far it is from here to the Eastern Empire?" ”

The old man listened to Taihao's answer and frowned: "Childe, you are going to the Eastern Empire, it is a long journey, and it will take at least three days and three nights to reach it on horseback." ”

Tai Hao nodded slowly: "I didn't expect that I walked so far, and it would take three days and three nights to arrive, it seems that the journey is still very long." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Where did you ride that horse, it's already very tired to look at." ”

Tai Hao sighed and said, "I rode from Pibo City, and I will rest on the way and feed it some grass." ”

The old man was amazed and said: "From Pibo City to Ma Erdare, the journey is not more than thousands of miles, it seems that your journey must be very difficult." ”

Tai Hao nodded and said with emotion: "It's really not easy, but I must arrive at the Eastern Empire a few days earlier, and I don't have much time to stay in Tubo for a long time." ”

When the old man heard this, his expression became serious, and he said, "Childe, you have to be careful, keep driving east, there will be many dangers on the road, especially those bandits and bandits, who often haunt the mountain roads. You'd better not go alone to prevent accidents. ”

Tai Hao listened to the old man's words and didn't pay much attention to it, he thought that with his martial arts, it was more than enough to deal with those bandits.

After leaving Maerkang City, Taihao drove all the way east, went through many hardships, and arrived at Dazhiduo City, which was still under the jurisdiction of the Tubo Kingdom. Just as he was about to enter the city of Dazhiduo, Taihao was stopped by the guards at the city gate.

"During the martial law period in Dazhiduo City, you are only allowed to go out and not to enter, please leave quickly!" The guard shouted at him.

Tai Hao arched his hand and said, "The officials from the Eastern Empire are passing through here today, can they go to the city to rest for the night?" ”

The guard still shook his head and said, "During martial law, no matter what your identity is, you are only allowed to enter or exit!" ”

Tai Hao continued to ask: "Dare to ask how long the city of Dazhi will be under martial law?" ”

The guard responded: "Martial law is a month, and it will be over in more than twenty days." ”

Taihao will definitely not wait for more than 20 days, but if you want to take a detour, not to mention the effort, I am afraid that it may still go astray. He remembered the "customs clearance post" that Lobsang Deji had given him when he left Pibo City, this "customs clearance post" had not been used all the way, and it seemed that he had to use it when he passed by here today.

Tai Hao took out the "clearance post" from his arms and handed it to the guard. He asked, "This is a 'clearance post' from the Pibo City Domain, can I enter the city if I have this post?" ”

The guard took the "customs clearance post", looked at the text on it carefully, looked up at Taihao again, and asked, "Your name is Taihao?" ”

Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "Exactly!" ”

The guard showed the "clearance post" to another guard next to him, and whispered a few words to him. Then, he said to Tai Hao: "You wait here for a while, I will go and report this matter to Yu Benyu." ”

Taihao nodded and stood at the gate of the city waiting. After a while, the guard came back and said to Tai Hao, "We, Lord Yuben of Dazhiduo Castle, have agreed to let you enter the city, but if you wait at the gate for a while, he will come and pick you up in person." ”

Taihao was very happy to hear this, and thanked: "Thank you for your accommodation, Lord Yuben here is really polite, so wait here." ”

After a while, a man in an official robe walked over and greeted Tai Hao: "Your Excellency is Lord Tai Hao from the Eastern Empire, right?" Below is the Yubin Tenzin Kampot of Dazhiduo City, and you are welcome to come to us. ”

Tai Hao bowed to him gratefully and said, "Thank you, Lord Yuben, for your hospitality, I want to rest for the night when I enter Dazhiduo City, and then continue to hurry tomorrow, causing trouble to Lord Yuben." ”

Tenzin Gompot smiled and said, "No, no...... How can it cause trouble, Lord Taihao is an official of the Eastern Empire, and now that the Eastern Empire and our Tubo Kingdom have formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin, Lord Taihao can pass by our small city, it is the honor of the people of our city, and this official must be well entertained. ”

Taihao thought to himself: I didn't expect that the "customs clearance post" given to me by Lobsang Deji was really useful.

Tenzin Gongpo also told Tai Hao: "The city of Dazhiduo is the border between the Eastern Empire and Tibet, and there are some signs of insecurity these days, bandits and bandits are often infested, and Lord Taihao is careful when he enters the city. If you need help, you can always ask the officer or the guards in the city. ”

Tai Hao said gratefully: "Thank you Lord Yuben for the reminder, I will definitely pay attention to safety in the future." ”

Taihao pondered: I only rested in the city for one night, and I left Dazhiduo City tomorrow morning, so I shouldn't meet those so-called bandits.

Subsequently, Tenzin Gongpot first led Taihao to an inn and arranged accommodation. Taihao was in the inn room, and after a short rest, a soldier knocked on Taihao's door and told him that Lord Yuben had set up a banquet in his mansion to entertain Taihao, and Taihao wanted to shirk it, but the dinner was ready, and he had to go, so he had to follow the soldier to Tenzin Gongpo's house.

Tenzin Kampo's house is very luxuriously furnished, with bright lanterns lit in the hall and some famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which looks very elegant. After a while, Tenzin Gongpot came out to greet Tai Hao and brought him to the banquet, where he saw that the table was full of all kinds of delicacies, which made him salivate.

At the banquet, Tenzin Gongpo introduced many things about the city of Tazhiduo, including commerce, culture, education, folk customs, and so on. Taihao listened very carefully, and let out a sound of admiration from time to time.

What Tai Hao remembers most vividly is to hear Tenzin Kampot introduce the city of Tazhiduo as follows: "Our city is located in the easternmost part of the Tibetan Kingdom, and we have many traditional markets and shops here, where you can buy all kinds of goods, such as handicrafts, textiles, local food, etc. The city of Dazido is a place steeped in history and has a rich cultural heritage. Here, you can see a lot of ancient buildings and cultural relics, such as Dazheduofu City, Dazheduo Stone Bridge, and so on. The city has a unique Tibetan culture and folk traditions, and the people here are very friendly and welcoming. In Dazhiduo, you can see many traditional festivals and celebrations, such as the Tibetan New Year, grassland sacrifices, and so on. In addition, there are many foods and drinks in Dazhiduocheng, such as butter tea, barley wine, and so on. ”

When Taihao saw Tenzin Gongpo at the banquet, he kept whispering to the entourage around him, as if he was ordering some task.

After the banquet, Tenzin Kampot arranged some entertainment activities, so that Taihao spent a pleasant evening in the city of Tazhido. That night, Tai Hao was drunk in the company of Tenzin Kampot and fell asleep after being sent to the inn by the soldiers.

Taihao woke up the next day, and his head still hurt a little. He was about to get up, only to find himself tied to the bed with ropes all over.

Taihao was shocked, he knew he was tied up, but he didn't know what was going on. He tried to break free from the rope, but to no avail. At this time, a man in a Tibetan robe walked in and said to Taihao, "You are awake...... Lord Taihao. ”

The voice was familiar to Tai Hao, but he was not sure, and when he walked to Tai Hao's side, Tai Hao saw the man's face clearly. That's right, he's Koza Demba.

Tai Hao smiled: "It turned out to be a hero of Koza Dengba, are you okay?" I'm going to look for you in Dafeichuan......"

Koza Demba sneered: "Looking for me? The ghost believes you, boy, why didn't you go back with the Eastern Empire and the pro-embassy and open up a route yourself? Are you so scared to see me again? ”

Taihao smiled awkwardly and continued, "Actually...... I think I finally arrived in Tubo once, walked a few more cities, and enjoyed the scenery and culture of the cities of the Tubo Kingdom. ”

Koza Demba sneered: "Boy, you don't give me these vain things, do you think you can escape the palm of my hand?" Let me ask you, do you know what I am looking for you today? ”

Tai Hao said hesitantly: "Probably...... Be...... It's because ...... cheats of "Snow Cat Fluttering", right......"

Koza Deimba nodded, and continued: "You really know why I came to you, it seems that there is indeed a problem with the secret book of "Snow Cat Fluttering" that you wrote silently, but first of all, I want to thank you for escorting the princess of the Eastern Empire to the city of Luo Qi safely. ”

Tai Hao smiled: "Don't thank me, don't thank me, that's what I should do, I don't know if the injuries on my body are healed?" ”

Kodza Demba shouted angrily, "Do you think that if my wounds were not healed, I would have come to you? ”

Tai Hao suddenly didn't dare to speak again, and Koza Demba continued to ask: "I have already taught you the method of the 'Suo Ling Array' without reservation, and you dare to deceive me with a fake cheats!" ”
