"Why are you here. Li Bing was startled when he saw the little lama, and subconsciously reached out to grab the blade on his waist, but after grabbing it, he realized that he did not wear a sword.

The two countries are now in a state of hostility, and this little lama is the prince of Tubo, not to mention whether there is evil intentions in a royal monastery like Ximing Temple, and it is also a threat to Tubo after being caught.

The abbot of Ximing Temple recognized Li Bing at a glance, saw his reaction, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the little lama and another person and said: "Your Royal Highness, these two people are distinguished guests of this temple......

Li Bing's plan was decided, and his eyes turned to the two: "Do you know that they are Tubo lamas, and that kid is still the prince of Tubo......"

The abbot bowed slightly: "The poor monk naturally knows." These two were envoys of the Tibetan mission who came to Beijing to discuss the 'Huimeng' matter, and His Majesty instructed the temple to treat each other with courtesy......"

Li Bing was even more shocked after hearing this: "Will the alliance be peaced? When did it happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"

"Who do you think you are! There's so much you don't know. The little lama looked unhappy: "I don't have knowledge, I make a fuss." ”

The middle-aged man standing beside the little lama was kind and kind, his eyes swept over Li Bing and the others, and he saluted the abbot directly, and said, "Master Yishan, can we leave?"

"The two of you, please ......" Master Yishan, the abbot, stretched out his hand and pointed to the main gate of the temple, then looked at Master Yijing standing beside Li Bing and said, "This is my junior brother Yijing, he is the first one in the Tongyi Hall." The two will come to copy the scriptures tomorrow, and the Yijing junior will accompany the poor monks. You can ask him what scriptures you need or if you have any questions. His views on the Dharma are even higher than mine. ”

Everyone heard the meaning of this, and it was called accompaniment, but it was actually surveillance. You two are ambassadors, but this royal temple can't let you wander around.

"Thank you, Master. The middle-aged man looked respectful, saluted the two masters again, and then left the courtyard with the little lama.

Before leaving, the little lama smiled contemptuously at Li Bing, and stretched out his little finger: "If you want to fight, you are not an opponent yet......

Li Bing was indifferent to the provocation, and in contrast, he was more curious about what the meeting was all about.

Yishan only said: "In the affairs of the court, it is inconvenient for the poor monks to beak, but they just obey the holy order, entertain the two envoys well, and meet their requirements for copying the Buddhist scriptures in the temple." This will be an alliance, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will go down and ask the officials around him, and he may know more. ”

Li Bing's face sank, and he asked again: "I know that the little lama is the prince of Tibet, but what about the middle-aged man?

"Amitabha. That man's name was 'Nilangtsdan', he was one of the disciples of the original tantric sect master, and after the old sect master died, his senior brother Barowang became the new sect master, and he broke away from the tantric sect and set up his own door. Created the third sect of the Tibetan Buddhist family in addition to the secret and Fan sects - Zhaozong. Pay attention to the practice of martial arts to cultivate oneself, learn Buddhism to cultivate one's nature, and the Han Buddha has many things to figure out. As far as the poor monk knew, the two of them were only members of the entourage of the peace mission, not the chief and deputy envoys. ”

Li Bing still wanted to ask again, but looking at the dull face of Abbot Yishan, he also knew that he couldn't ask about the Huimeng here, so he still had to go back and ask Uncle Mi Xin. At that moment, he took Yinglaner and Miss Qianyi to say goodbye.

And said Ximing Temple, the little lama 'Gesang Yuzha' and the suzerain of Zhaozong 'Nilang Cidan' walked on the main street and went straight to the Chang'an official post.

"Do you know that man?" said Nilantzdan. This is not a Tibetan language, but an official dialect of the Central Plains, probably because I don't want to be too conspicuous on the street.

"I was robbed in Ebian, he is one of those people, his martial arts are scarce, and he likes to be strong, and he is an embroidered pillow. The little lama said that Li Bing looked disdainful: "If it weren't for someone to help, I would never lose to him." However, I didn't expect him to be a son. Being in the royal family, I didn't even know that Tubo and Datang were going to make peace?"

Nilonzdan has a friendly personality, and even his tone of voice is very calm: "This is not surprising, now the two countries are inseparable, although they have already felt that this kind of war without benefits is a waste of national funds, but the situation has reached this point, even if both sides want to negotiate peace, but no one dares to speak out." If the army learns about the alliance, once the peace negotiation fails, the morale of the soldiers will fall sharply. ”

The little lama also nodded and said, "Then according to Uncle Yi, can the matter of this alliance be completed in the end?"

"I can't tell. Nilangsdan pondered for a moment: "At present, Tubo has to face the soldiers and horses of the three kingdoms of Hui, Tang and Dashi at the same time, the battle line is too long, and it will not be able to attack the city for a while, and it will not be able to support the war with war, and it will gradually be unable to support it." That's why Lord Zampu (the king of Tubo) hoped to keep the cities that had been captured by the Tang Dynasty through peace negotiations, and concentrate on repelling Dashi and Tubo, as well as the small countries in the west.

On the other hand, Datang, although it still can't win against Tubo at the moment, if it can cultivate for a few more years, it may not be hopeless. This generation of Tang emperors is indeed a genius among the people, and he has not only stabilized the envoys of various festivals for more than ten years, but also has a recovery within the Tang Dynasty.

If I were him, in this situation, I would naturally wait and see if Tubo could survive the attack of the big food and Hui Hui. If you can slow down, it's not too late to negotiate peace, and if you can't, you can take the opportunity to recapture the captured city, and you won't lose money in any way.

You see that our envoys have been in Chang'an for more than four days, and the Tang Dynasty court has neither said that it agrees with the alliance, nor does it oppose it, but only entertains us with the etiquette of the vassal state, does not flatter, does not treat us harshly, and treats us coldly. ”

Nilangsdan exhaled a long breath and said: "Huh~! It's not easy to talk about this peace negotiation! Besides, even if you really agree to the peace of the Huimeng, Emperor Tang probably won't completely agree to your father's request." ”

"Huh?" Gesang Yuzha just came to the Tang Dynasty with the envoys to play this time, and he was not clear about the internal affairs of the peace talks, and asked: "Do you mean that the national boundaries are redrawn and the cities that have been captured by Tubo are permanently left in Tubo? Could it be that when the Tang Emperor negotiated peace, he still wanted to take these cities back?"

"No, since the city has been laid, it will definitely not be returned, and Emperor Tang will not be stupid to ask for it. The most difficult part of this alliance was actually to get the Tang Emperor to recognize the status of Tibet, and it was no longer a vassal state, but a monarchy with equal status. The king of Tibet is no longer a king, but the emperor of Tibet. ”

"Humph!" Gesang Yuzha snorted coldly: "What else should it be, what's so difficult about this? Isn't it just a title, and it can be solved in one sentence?"

Even Nilantzdan, who was so peaceful, said such a heavy topic, his face turned cold, and he shook his head and said:

"In the world, pay attention to the name is not right, the words are not good, do you know why even if the national strength of Tubo is significantly higher than that of the Tang Dynasty, the other more than ten vassal states are still towards the Tang Dynasty, except for Nanzhao, no one is attached to Tubo?

The aspirations of the people begin with education. The subjects of the world have recognized the Tang Dynasty as a suzerain, and the army of the Tang Dynasty is the army of justice in their eyes. Tubo once surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and now he wants to fight with the Tang Dynasty, which is to commit chaos and oppose the party. Before this battle was fought, Datang won half of it.

You look at the Tang Dynasty for a week, Murowei, Jian, Hui, Bohai, Gushubu, Japan, Ezo, Silla, Liuqiu, Shuilu Zhenla, Huanguo, Anxi Jiu surnamed Hu, Daxiao Bolu, Gelulu, Tuqishi, so many subject countries, no matter how weak the Tang Dynasty is, unless it is already as strong as Tubo, even if there is ambition, the vassal state must face the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it will become the target of the public.

But if the Tang Emperor accepted the conditions of the alliance and recognized that Tibet was not a vassal state but the same monarchy, then the world would have changed, and two emperors would have come out at once. At that time, Datang will not only not be more stable, but will be embattled. Because everybody thinks that since you are no longer the right lord of the world, what good is it to surrender to you?"

"Wow! I see. Gesang Yuzha had never set foot in the court, and was completely ignorant of the doorways in it: "Since we know that they will not agree, then we will just wait?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Nilantzdan's mouth: "It's not that there is nothing to do. From tomorrow, aren't you going to follow me to Ximing Temple to copy the scriptures?"

"Ah, copy the scriptures, ......" The little lama looked reluctant: "Tibetan is difficult enough, I can't even recognize Tang and Sanskrit, how can I help you copy it?"

Nilangsdan touched the little lama's head: "Tantra was broken by the Tang Dynasty Green Forest, and the loss of martial arts is limited. However, the Tantric Sutra Pavilion was destroyed, and a large number of unique copies of Buddhist classics were missing, which is the most regrettable. In contrast, Fan Zong only has some superficial scriptures, and my Zhaozong was founded for a short time, except for a few classics that were brought out from Tantra, most of the ancient Buddhist scriptures are not available.

Ximing Temple is the temple with the largest collection of books in the Han Buddhism, and it is also the national translation temple, with a large collection of books, I am afraid that there are few temples to compare. Emperor Tang ordered the abbot to receive us, such a good opportunity, naturally we should seize the time, copy as much as we can, and maybe we can also see the handwritten translation of Master Xuanzang back then. Speaking of which, such a calm person also had a hot gaze in his eyes.

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, glanced behind him, but in an instant he recovered as before, and continued to move forward with the little lama.

"Who are they? Or are they the two of them?" the little lama also glanced behind him, but found nothing.

looked at Nilangsdan and nodded, and said: "These two people are really persevering, following from Luoqi City (Lhasa) to Chang'an, and when they arrive at their own lair, do they still have to monitor?"

"I don't think so, I always feel that these two girls are not from Datang, but I can't think of anyone else who will be interested in us for a while. As he was talking, he suddenly saw a study in front of him, so he said: "Don't worry about those two, it's important to copy the scriptures tomorrow, buy more pen and ink, and follow me in to have a look." ”

Let's say that when Nirantsdan looked sideways slightly, not far behind the two of them, a girl in an orange shirt immediately pulled the arm of the other brown-clothed man and pulled him back, and the two of them pretended to pick up jewelry at a roadside stall.

The girl in the orange shirt, with slightly chubby cheeks, waist-length hair behind her back, and a lock of long hair hanging down from the plump bandeau on the left and right, is a lovely person. She tugged at the sleeve of the brown-clothed man, and said again and again: "Let you be careful! Be careful! That person's martial arts are so high that he was almost discovered, but fortunately I reacted quickly!"

The man in brown put down the jade bracelet he pretended to pick up just now, tilted his head, leaned out his neck and looked at Gesang Yuzha and the two again, but was grabbed back by the orange-shirted girl: "You still see!"

The fine skin and tender flesh of the brown clothes life, oily hair and flour noodles, dressed as a formal scribe, a small head, a scholarly shirt, and a folding fan in his hand.

He stroked his mustache, cleared his throat, and threw a wink at the orange-shirted girl, pretending to be rough and rude, with a proud face: "Impossible! My disguise technique is this!

As he spoke, he touched his goatee again, but there was no Adam's apple behind it......

"It's good that we haven't been discovered!Otherwise, with that person's high kung fu, we will definitely not be able to beat it!" the orange-shirted girl said: "When I arrived in Chang'an, I felt more and more uneasy. Just in case, otherwise...... Let's go to the Dragon Venerable for help!"

When the brown-clothed man heard this, he held a long fan in his hand, knocked on the girl's head, and said in a bad voice: "You are stupid! It is important to find this Bailuo Immortal Method, if you destroy the major affairs of Nansitang, be careful that the left soul will make the adult unable to eat and walk around! Venerable Feng let us follow well, and we will follow." Leave nothing else to chance. ”

The orange-shirted girl pouted "oh", and then saw the man in brown standing in front of him with one hand on his waist, puzzled: "What are you doing?"

The man in brown slapped on his head again: "What are you doing! We are pretending to be a couple today! You don't mix with me! Why are you still asking! Can you get some tips!"

The orange-shirted girl was extremely aggrieved: "Oh!" After speaking, she held the brown man again, and the two twisted and followed behind Gesang Yuzha, and watched them enter the study.

On the other side, Li Bing came out of Ximing Temple, and he had been thinking about the matter of this alliance and peace, and he didn't even pay attention to walking, and almost crashed into other people's stalls several times.

He was thinking strangely when there was a rush of noise in the distance.

"The 'Sikongwen' general broke through Tibet, returned to Beijing to report on his work, and all the idle people retreated. "A high-headed horse team, each dressed in an official mansion, rampaged on the main street of Chang'an, and pedestrians on the left and right avoided it.

Li Bing wanted to get so distracted that he almost bumped into him head-on, but Yinglan'er reacted quickly and pulled him back. The three of them followed the crowd and stood on the side of the street, watching this mighty procession swagger through the market.

Yinglan'er Suri hated this kind of dignitary who didn't know how to restrain, glared at the person in charge, and said in a low voice: "It's really a bit of merit, so I have to fight against people." A few days ago, I just heard the good news of his big break in Tibet, and I thought he had some ability. Why don't you guard the border now, why do you go back to Chang'an?"

Li Bingye has been paying attention to the sergeant on this horse, and there are many people who have an impression of him, and they seem to be important positions in the army. When his father, King Xiang, was in the barracks in the past, many officers came to pay their respects, so they knew him.

He saw that Yinglan'er was angry and explained: "Since the various festivals have made themselves independent, the emperor has always been very careful about such things as supporting troops and respecting themselves. He had just won the battle, and he had 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands, so in order to prevent his power from growing, he naturally had to be recruited back. Maybe Your Majesty has sent people to guard the border again. ”

Ying Lan'er didn't know much about these things, and it suddenly dawned on her when she heard Li Bing say: "Oh, it's so complicated, what if the new generals can't beat Tubo, you can't let the virtuous ministers go, let Tubo fight to Chang'an." ”

Li Bing shook his head when he heard this: "Tubo is coming, as long as there are generals in the imperial court, they will not come to Chang'an." However, if 'Sikong Wen' supported his troops and fought back, it would not be possible that he would be the second An Lushan, and he wouldn't have rebelled like this back then? ”

He looked up at the dozens of officers, and suddenly looked at the face of one of them, and fell into deep thought.

The man glanced at him, as if he was weak-hearted, and quickly turned his head, slammed the horse's belly, and accelerated into the center of the team, no longer looking at Li Bing.

"This man is so familiar...... I can't remember who it is!" Li Bing looked at his official uniform, crimson satin, and Peijin boasting belt, which was the etiquette of the four-rank general, and he was considered a high position among this cadre sergeant.

When Yinglan'er heard him, she also looked up at the man:

"Eh! Isn't this the guy who stood beside you that day in Fengzhou's 'Chivalrous Journey'? After we chased after 'Xiao Li', he never appeared again! It turns out that he is also an officer!"
