Chapter 228: Taihao Xuanbao is a little more logical

Looking at Prandorjee's figure fading away and disappearing from the end of sight, Taihao said in a low voice: "Lord Tashi Wangduo, this is not the time to rest, we have to hurry up and continue on our way." ”

Tashi Wangdo glanced at Taihao, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had deceived Prandorjee this time, and if he came back to his senses, he would definitely kill him again. At that point, the situation will be unpredictable.

"Without further ado, hurry up and get on the horse!" Tai Hao urged.

Tashi Wangdo smiled helplessly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do we want to rest here for a while?" ”

Xuan Bao said: "I have heard it just now, I want to ask, why did Tubo send two different teams to meet us?" ”

Tashi Wando didn't know how to answer, but Taihao knew it in his heart. He then said to Xuan Bao: "These things are complicated, and when I get to the city, I will explain it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person." ”

Xuan Bao said: "Oh? Why did Taehao know the reason for this? ”

Tai Hao smiled faintly and did not answer. Tashi Wangdo gave the order to the team he led to set off, and Tai Hao also gave the order to the team to move on.

They set out on their journey without resting, but whenever night fell, they would smoke around the stove and soothe their weary souls with a hot meal. Beneath them is an endless mountain path, accompanied by a stream that appears and disappears, and the stars of the sky lead them towards their goal.

Five days is just a drop in the ocean for this long journey. Their steps were firm and powerful, and neither the scorching sun nor the cold wind could shake their determination. The city of Logos, the legendary and mysterious place, seems to be a devout belief in their hearts, guiding them through many difficulties and meeting unknown challenges.

When the city of Luo was finally in sight, Tai Hao couldn't help but think carefully: from the city of a thousand winds to the city of Luo Qi, along the way, how many winds, frosts, rain and snow they have traversed, and how many vicissitudes of the world they have experienced. And at this moment, it took them a month to complete this long journey. All of this quietly echoed in his heart.

They stopped outside the city of Logos, and the city before them was like a brilliant jewel set on the top of the plateau. Taihao took a deep breath and stepped into this legendary city with indescribable emotion. For them, however, the real challenge has only just begun......

The city of Logos, a thriving city on a snowy plateau, awakens in the light of the morning light. The streets, busy vendors, devout worshippers, and the famous adventurers weave a vivid and complex picture of life. However, on this ordinary morning, there was no regular welcome for the distinguished officials outside the city, nor was there a grand welcoming ceremony. Tashi Wangdo did not lead them directly to the palace, but went to the other side.

It was a magnificent mansion, and apparently, this was Shang Jieyunzan's residence. Tashi Wangdo didn't give much introduction, just motioned for them to follow, and then walked straight to the mansion. The cold stone lions, the towering walls, each of which reveals the extraordinary identity and status of the owner. However, all this is so strange and indifferent to those guests who come from afar.

At this moment, Prarandorjee led dozens of warriors at a gallop. It seems that he knew that he had been fooled, so he chased after him. Their arrival broke the quiet morning. Prarandorjee glanced at Tashi Wangdo and the team he led, and instantly understood what was going on. He waved the long sword in his hand and joined the fight without hesitation.

The intensity of the battle makes the viewer's heart beat faster. Every time a sword collides with a sword, it is like a cold wind, cutting through the air. They fought each other, without superfluous words, only firm eyes. Although the number of Prandorji's team is small, each of their warriors is an elite who has experienced countless battles. Tashi Wangdo's soldiers, although slightly inferior, have not diminished their fighting spirit in the slightest.

The battle, like a sudden storm, tore apart the peaceful morning of the city. Blood snaked on the stone slabs, and sword light shimmered in the sun. Every confrontation was like a merciless mockery of fate, making the people unable to believe that it was true. But a battle is a battle, and whenever and wherever there is conflict, fighting is inevitable.

Taihao was in the chaos of dust and smoke, and his heart was full of doubts and troubles. All this in front of him made him fall into a difficult situation. His eyes widened as he stared at every face in front of him, but he could not see through their hearts, not knowing what their purpose was.

Although Taihao wanted to come forward to help, he didn't know which side to help. His hesitation caused him to fall into deep self-blame and anxiety. He watched as Prandogie held the crown prince Xuanbao hostage, although Xuanbao wanted to resist, but the disparity in force made him unable to resist Prandogji's onslaught.

Just when Taihao decided to step forward and help Xuanbao, Tashi Wangdo suddenly stood in front of him. Tashi Wangdo's eyes were blazing, and his eyes were full of determination and determination. He faced Prandogie without fear, and although his heart was also full of doubts and uneasiness, he still stood in front of Xuanbao without hesitation, and fended off Prandogji's attack for him. Seeing that the situation was not good, Prandohjee shouted: "Withdraw!" Then he fled in the dust.

Tai Hao anxiously asked, "He took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince away, why did Lord Tashi stop me?" ”

Tashi Wangduo comforted: "Lord Taihao, please rest assured, they will not do anything to His Royal Highness the Prince, I will immediately go to the Deputy Prime Minister's Mansion to rescue His Royal Highness the Prince, and ask Lord Taihao to follow me to meet General Shang Jieyunzan first." ”

Afterwards, they walked into the mansion of General Shang Jie Yunzan. and enter one of the rooms, where a series of exquisite thangka paintings and embroidered tapestries decorate the walls of the hall, adding a strong Tibetan color to the whole space. These artefacts depict a variety of deities, historical figures, and intricate religious scenes, each one with the dedication and talent of the artisan.

In the center of the hall is a large walnut table, on which are filled with various military maps and strategic schemes. On the map, different colored crayons and pencils mark detailed routes, missions, and tactics. On some maps, you can also see place names and tactical suggestions annotated in Tibetan, which fully demonstrate the general's ingenuity and rich combat experience.

In one corner of the mansion, a soldier dressed in traditional Tibetan armor is standing in front of a huge sand table that vividly reproduces the geography and military layout of Tibet. He is carefully studying this model, simulating possible enemy actions and conducting strategic deductions.

In the depths of the mansion, the general's private quarters were furnished more simply, but without losing their nobility. Rows of neat Tibetan bookshelves are lined with scriptures, history books, and military theoretical works. Next to the general's bed, a butter lamp was lit up, adding a quiet and peaceful atmosphere to the room.

In addition, there are a variety of delicate bronzes and porcelain placed in the corners of the mansion, decorating the entire space. A number of servants and attendants were busily shuttling from room to room, their presence adding a touch of life to the quiet military residence.

Shang Jieyun walked over with a laugh and said, "Welcome the envoys of the Eastern Empire to the Humble House!" ”

Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "You are General Shang Jieyunzan, you are polite, I heard General Tashi Wangdo say a lot of things about you along the way." ”

Shang Jieyun praised: "I have already heard of Lord Taihao's deeds. He looked left and right and asked, "Didn't you say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Taihao came together, why didn't there be any trace of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Tashi Wangdo said: "Back to the general, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was captured by the men sent by Lobsang Tenzin......"

When Shang Jieyunzan heard this, he raised his palm and slapped Tashi Wangduo's face, and after slapping it, he shouted: "What are you doing to eat, you didn't protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, you quickly lead the troops to the Deputy Prime Minister's Mansion and rescue His Royal Highness the Prince...... This Lobsang Tenzin wants to oppose me. ”

Tashi Wangdo hurriedly left the house, and Taihao immediately turned to Shang Jieyunzan and bowed his hand, "Thank you, General." I am walking with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now that he has fallen into the hands of the enemy, I beg the general to come to my rescue. ”

Shang Jieyun bowed his head, his eyes fell deeply on Taihao's face, and said: "Lord Taihao, your prestige is like thunder, and your resourcefulness and courage are praised by others, and I deeply admire this. This incident, please don't worry. Lobsang Tenzin is as cunning as a fox, and even if his intrigues are unpredictable, I will try to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Taihao bowed solemnly, and said earnestly: "It's bothering the general to go out." ”

Shang Jieyun praised and said softly: "Half a month ago, I received a thousand-mile message from Lord Kozha Demba, which said that Lord Taihao, the envoy of the Eastern Empire, and Xuanbao, the crown prince of the Eastern Empire, were going to visit Tibet, so I decided to send loyal and reliable soldiers from my family to greet these two distinguished guests to ensure their safety and worry-free. ”

Tai Hao said: "Thank you for the love of General Shang Jieyunzan, I dare to ask what position the general holds in Tubo, is he a general who sits on one side?" ”

Shang Jieyunzan's words were filled with pride and majesty, "I am the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses in Tibet, Tongping Zhangshi, which is equivalent to the position of the hussar general of your Eastern Empire. ”

Taihao said: "Oh, that's the highest rank among military attachΓ©s." I wonder why General Shang Jieyunzan didn't send the guards in the palace to meet us, but wanted to let his own soldiers go? ”

Shang Jieyun Zan's smile slightly, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Lord Taihao, this is not because I don't trust the guards in the palace, but because I believe in the ability of my palace soldiers. They have become an elite division under my rigorous training, and they have been through countless battles and have a wealth of experience. I believe that they will complete this task well and escort Lord Taihao and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Tai Hao's heart was shocked after hearing this, and he felt Shang Jieyunzan's absolute trust and pride in the soldiers. He nodded slightly, in understanding and approval. He knows that trust and cooperation are essential at this critical time.

Shang Jieyun continued: "Moreover, I also hope that through this mission to meet you, I will give the soldiers the opportunity to train themselves. They are the future of our Tibet, and I hope to train more brave, loyal, and resourceful warriors like them. ”

Tai Hao once again sighed at Shang Jieyunzan's wisdom and vision, he knew that such a general could lead a strong country. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Then there is General Law." I believe that under the leadership of the general, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and successfully complete this visit to Tibet. ”
