The early foreshadowing is almost done, open the plot of Nanzhao, please support it.

In fact, the two of them had already left Yunnan County ten days ago, and arrived at the border between the two countries, but because of the language barrier, it was extremely difficult to ask for directions, and Nanzhao was not like the Tang Dynasty There are official roads everywhere, sometimes even the sheep intestine trail is difficult to find, and it is either a swamp miasma with green smoke, or a primeval forest full of exotic trees, and ten days is not as far as the road taken in the previous five days.

Yan Tianzong was holding a map at this time, standing in the field and asking a local grandmother who was hoeing grass for directions, only to see the grandmother clapping her hands and stomping her feet, and she didn't know what she was talking about.

Nanzhao is located in the southwest border of the Tang Dynasty, compared with the Central Plains, the customs are not the same, it is extremely hot here, although it is now the early winter, there are still vigorous plants and trees here, such a climate has advantages and disadvantages for the two of them, at that time Nanzhao has not yet been civilized, only villages and towns, naturally there is no inn to rest, since the entry of the two can only sleep in the wild, fortunately, the weather is hot and not freezing, the disadvantage is that there are many poisonous insects and beasts here, and the two have not slept a peaceful sleep for ten days.

"I roughly figured out what the old lady meant, and ten miles further away is the capital of Nanzhao - Taihe City. Yan Tianzong pointed to the map and said to Wuji, "The lake we saw just now is Erhai Lake, and Taihe City is built between Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain. ”

Wuji nodded and said, "Then hurry up and get on the road." ”

Yan Tianzong sighed: "You and I have never been far away, I knew that this was the case, and when I left the country, I should find a guide who understands Nanzhao to lead the way." ”

Wuji patted him on the shoulder, and also sighed: "Why are you talking about this after all the passes, let's concentrate on hurrying." He didn't take two steps and stopped, he suddenly thought of something, "Now that the war between the two countries is imminent, Taihe City must be heavily guarded, you and I don't understand the local language, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the city." ”

Yan Tianzong looked meaningless, waved his hand and said, "Whatever, let's talk about it first." ”

It didn't take long for the two to arrive outside the north gate of Taihe City, and sure enough, as guessed indefinitely, there were guards standing guard at the city gate to check, what he didn't expect was that Taihe City was the national capital, and it was the largest city gate in the north, but there were not many people coming and going, and only a few people passed by after staring for a long time, and it was impossible to get in while the chaos.

Taihe City is not like Chang'an, it is both an imperial city and a trading center, strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a fortress or a huge military camp, mainly used for garrison defense.

Although there are merchants and residents in the city, but its scale is far less than Chang'an City, although the city is strong, but if you talk about the degree of prosperity, it is a county seat at best in the Central Plains, and naturally there are not too many people in and out.

When Yan Wuzhi was worried, Yan Tianzong turned his mind and came up with an idea, he smiled slyly, and said, "Look at me!" Then he took off his robe, rolled on the ground twice, deliberately messed up his hair, wiped mud on his face, and didn't speak, hehehehehehehehehehe

Yan Wuzhi immediately understood, gave him a thumbs up, and complimented: "Good boy!

After Yan Tianzong dressed up, he smirked and walked towards the city gate, let the guards ask him how to ask, anyway, he didn't understand, pretending to be crazy and stupid to the end, one of the guards impatiently began to bombard him, Tianzong fell to the ground, and there was a burst of rolling and splashing, the soldiers guarding the gate ignored it, let him cry, Yan Tianzong acted for a long time, and the other party was not fooled, so he felt bored and walked back to the hiding place just now.

"I'm embarrassed to be like this in order to enter the city, and you're still laughing at me!" Yan Tian, who was shaking off the dust on his body, pursed his lips and snickered when he saw it, and punched it.

"What should I do now? I can't get in the door, and I see King Nanzhao, I see a fart!" Tianzong shouted while dressing.

He stopped laughing indefinitely and said, "You go to the river to wash up first, and then we go around the city wall, find a sparsely populated place, and sneak over the wall to get in." ”

Taihe City only has two city walls in the north and south, the east side is the Xi'er River in the local population, although it is called the river, it is actually a big lake, the west side is backed by Cangshan, so the mountain is the wall, the lake is the column, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Yan Wuqi and the two of them went around the city for a full circle, there were guards everywhere, and it was not easy to sneak over the wall during the day, so they could only make plans at night.

The two of them are now in a dense forest at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, so they walked for a long time and were thirsty, and when they wanted to return to Erhai Lake to drink water, suddenly a group of strong men passed by from them, there were about seven or eight people, the leader was burly, beautiful in appearance, but also quite the style of Sichuan and Shu Junjie, followed by a slender and fair-faced young man.

It can be seen that this young man is a girl disguised as a man, and she is the same age as herself.

These people are wearing local characteristic costumes, the upper body is a red or white cardigan, the lower body is a wide black trousers, but the fabric is very exquisite, the use of Shu brocade, since the fight into the territory of Nanzhao, all the people they see are civilians wearing linen, wearing brocade or the first time to meet.

The leader looked at them like a torch, glanced at them hurriedly, and ignored them, these people were all carrying bows and arrows, agile, and more or less should have some kung fu foundation, including the thirteen or fourteen girl.

"Look ......at the indefinite period," Yan Tianzong pointed to their leather kettle, "It seems that we don't have to go back to Erhai to drink water anymore." ”

The two also followed quickly, since they learned the internal skills of "Gaitian Decision", whether they ran or archery, they no longer relied solely on brute force, and immediately luck was on tiptoe, one step was two, but they caught up with everyone in a moment.

Yan Tianzong stopped in front of the leader, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed down to salute him. After asking for more than ten days, they had already mastered the greeting method of Nanzhaoguo, and the strong man who was about twenty years old also returned the salute to Yan Wuqi and the others.

Tianzong first pointed to their kettle, then nodded himself, compared to the posture of drinking water, and made a gesture of folding his hands, Nanzhao advocates Buddhism, and the action of joining is the highest etiquette in China.

"I can speak the Central Plains dialect!" the man coldly came out with a sentence of the Tang Dynasty official dialect.

Yan Tianzong suddenly froze on the spot, and immediately laughed, so that things would be much easier! Immediately, he said respectfully: "My brothers and I have been on the road for a long time, and they are thirsty, and they want to ask my brother for a drink. ”

The young man immediately untied the kettle at his waist, handed it over, pointed to the dry food in his skin, and said boldly: "I still have some food here, if you are hungry, you can also take it to eat." ”

Nanzhao national style has always been simple, since the entry of the two of them, whether it is asking for directions or asking for water, they have never hit a wall, even if it is inconvenient to communicate with each other, the local people always do their best to help the two brothers, but don't forget, the two countries are now sharpening their knives and preparing for war, they all say that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, but the indefinite Tianzhong does not think so, but the more information is blocked, the more simple the people's customs are, and it is precisely because of this that Yan Wuzhi did not immediately sneak into the city over the wall, so as not to hurt the harmony.

So the two of them were not polite, took the dry food handed over by the leading man, and feasted on it, and for ten days they ate some pheasants and hares, and at this time they unexpectedly ate a mouthful of fragrant rice, how precious.

After the two of them were full of food and drink, Tianzong took out a silver ingot from his arms, and was about to speak when the man stopped him: "It's just a mouthful of water, not enough to worry about, if you take money, you will look down on me!"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Wuji was ashamed and ashamed, looking at this handsome young man who was either rich or noble, he must know that the two countries were at war, he was a Han man, and he was so generous to the people of the enemy country, he was really a righteous person.

Yan Wuzhi bowed to everyone with his palms folded again, Tianzhong was a chicken thief, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from Brother Tai, the two of us have important things to tell King Nanzhao when they enter the city this time, but they don't understand the local language, and they can't enter the city. ”

"You have to ...... when you enter the city" Before the leader finished speaking, a man with red eyebrows and yellow beard next to him lowered his head and whispered in Nanzhao in his ear: "Now that we have a tense relationship with the Tang Kingdom, these two people are not like ordinary people, it is better for the prince to be cautious." ”

After hearing this, the leader smiled euphemistically and said, "I am not very familiar with Taihe City, and besides, there are things on my side, so it is really inconvenient to lead the two into the city." ”

Tianzong was just about to argue, but the man said: "If there is a fate to meet again, I will definitely entertain the two, but it is really inconvenient today, the green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, let's say goodbye." ”

After speaking, he led everyone away without looking back.

The place left behind the indefinite and heavenly longitudinal that has not yet eased God.

"Hey, let's find another way. Yan Wuji sighed and walked back on Tianzong's shoulder.
