Chapter 238: Interception

The next day everyone started on the road early, and they had to rush to the place where they were trading as soon as possible, and there was still a long way to go. There were no big tribes on this side near Western Xia at all, and Zhao Tiancheng didn't think that the Vajra Sect would be in such a place.

While thinking about the real plateau advance, Li Minggong explained some information about Tibet at this time, in fact, at the beginning, large and small tribes lived on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and conquered each other, just like the people on the northern grasslands, until the Tang Dynasty was unified, in fact, it was not really unified, but because the leading tribe was the most powerful, and other tribes also depended on powerful tribes, like the Xiongnu, Turks, and so on are in this form. It is also a very obvious characteristic form of government of the herding people.

And now the most powerful force in Tibet is Lamaism, (Tibetan Buddhism) although there are many sects in Tibet, but Lamaism belongs to the state religion, not only a large number of people, but also among the masters. It is more noble than Shaolin's position in the Central Plains, but Lamaism is only a general term, in which many tribes are divided, and because of the different doctrines, these tribes have formed their own gangs. Famous ones are the Nyingma sect, the Sakya Monastery, and the Kagyu sect with the largest number of branches. These are further divided into sutras and hidden sects. It's hard for outsiders to understand the relationship.

What Li Minggong said was originally a bit confusing, and Zhao Tiancheng was even more of a big one after hearing it, and there were many factions established in Tubo Lamaism, some big and some small, and some of them not only managed many monasteries, but even the commercial houses and local forces were under their control, and some were just a temple. Even if they are fellow Kagyu sects, some may be hidden and some are sutra. The two basically don't interact with each other. The current Tubo national teacher, Kumazhi, is a person who belongs to the Nyingma sect.

It took two days for Li Minggong to explain these things clearly, and Zhao Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh: "What a complicated relationship!"

"It's because of this complex relationship. Sometimes they may not even understand it themselves, so although Lamaism is the most powerful, it has never developed. Of course, the good thing is that outsiders can't destroy them. ”

The whole team was in a low-lying place, with high ground on three sides and a small patch of woods on the other.

"Iron Dragon. Let's see what's going on?" Li Minggong pointed to the high ground ahead.

Tie Long was about to urge the horse to step forward, but Zhao Tiancheng suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, and said with a flickering eye: "Don't go!" Just when Tie Long wanted to defend. On the high ground ahead, a man on horseback with a scimitar appeared. Then, people with various weapons continued to appear throughout the highlands.

There was a whole line of people standing on the whole high ground, about thirty or forty people, and after a while two people in the middle of the line slowly separated. From the hill behind came up a man dressed in gorgeous clothes. He walked out with a scimitar inlaid with gold and silver, and also with precious stones.

"It's him!" Iron Dragon said through gritted teeth.

Looking at the visitor, Zhao Tiancheng asked, "Do you know?"

"I won't forget him when I die!" Tie Long's eyes turned red, if it weren't for Zhao Tiancheng holding the reins of his horse all the time, he might have galloped out.

Li Minggong urged the horse to Zhao Tiancheng's side and said, "The last time we went back after doing business, we were intercepted by them, and Tielong's biological brother died at his hands. ”

"Oh!" Zhao Tiancheng looked at the leader on the horse with some surprise, when he first saw it, Zhao Tiancheng thought that he was just a rich man, but he didn't expect that the strength was quite high, and Zhao Tiancheng also saw the strength of Tielong at the beginning. It's not much different from the six monsters in Jiangnan, and the leader is full of fat. Zhao Tiancheng was a little worried about whether the horse he was carrying could withstand his weight, but he didn't expect that the strength of a person of such a size was quite high.

The fat man's big fan-like hand waved, and the whole team rushed down howling, and Li Minggong immediately commanded everyone to form a circle, so that the camels were blocked, and the guards took out their weapons one after another.

The fat man also followed the horse, and stopped not far from the team, Zhao Tiancheng looked at the batch of horses that were red but did not exert any effort at all, and couldn't help but praise. "What a horse!" ran so far with such a large lump of fat meat and did not react, but stood there looking forward to the brilliance.

Li Minggong suddenly glanced at Zhao Tiancheng speechlessly, although he was more assured of Zhao Tiancheng's strength, but it was time for this horse who still had the heart to see others. Li Minggong didn't know what to say.

"It's you again! It seems that the lesson for you is not enough! Not only do you have to leave the goods today, but you don't want to leave alone!" The fat man's Chinese is very standard.

Tie Long suddenly laughed arrogantly, staring at the fat man with hateful eyes and said, "This time, I will cut off a piece of meat from you." As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly, and the green tendons on them were rising, and drops of blood slowly flowed from between his fingers.

The fat man ignored the iron dragon's gaze, and said, "You have no chance! Kill them!" There was a cold gaze in his small eyes, maybe these people were just a pile of straw waiting to be harvested in his eyes.

"It's funny!" Zhao Tiancheng's figure suddenly disappeared.

The sword flickered, and a hazy long sword had already rested on the fat man's shoulder from behind. Zhao Tiancheng was standing behind the fat man at this time, "Let your people stop!" whispered behind him.

"Do you think this is useful?" The fat man turned his head and glanced at Zhao Tiancheng with some mockery, as if he didn't care about his life.

The Qingfeng sword suddenly swung and went directly into the muscles of the neck, and blood continued to spurt out. The severe pain instantly invaded the fat man's nerves, and he thought that he didn't care about anyone's life anymore, but at this time, he suddenly screamed "Ah" and "Stop!" both to ask Zhao Tiancheng and to order his subordinates.

After a few sighs, Zhao Tiancheng said: "I have seen a lot of individuals like you, let all your people dismount and throw all their weapons aside!"

This time, the fat man didn't dare to disobey the slightest, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates, seeing that Li Minggong asked people to collect all those scimitars together, Zhao Tiancheng kicked the fat man off the horse.

As soon as the horse saw that its master had fallen, and that there was still a person on it, he suddenly began to leap up in a restless manner, trying to lift the stranger off his body.

Zhao Tiancheng stubbornly clamped the horse's belly between his legs, grasping the reins with one hand and the horse's mane with the other. No matter how much the horse jumps underneath, the body is firmly attached to the horse.

"Haha! You can't take it in anyway, it won't abandon its master. The fat man was originally kicked to the ground by Zhao Tiancheng and choked on a dog to eat, and at this time he still had a turf arrogant mockery on his mouth.

"Palm!" Zhao Tiancheng suddenly waved his free hand lightly, the fat man was like being slapped heavily, and his whole body rolled on the ground several times, and when he stopped, not only half of his face was swollen, but a lot of blood was spit out of his mouth.

Seeing that there was no sign of honesty, Zhao Tiancheng let out a clear whistle, causing a "jack fall" body to press on the horse's body, and the red horse suddenly couldn't use his strength to jump.

It wasn't until the red horse lowered his head and began to graze and kept turning back that Zhao Tiancheng stopped using the jack pendant, but at this time, the fiery red horse was already very honest.

Zhao Tiancheng grabbed the horse's belly, walked in front of the fat man, and said condescendingly: "What's your name?"

"Tashi Dorjee!" replied in a low voice while covering his face.

At this time, Li Minggong came over, and Tielong was going to come over, but he was dragged by someone.

"Tell me, who told you to come, or why did you come?"

Seeing Tashi Dorjee's small eyes blink a few times, Zhao Tiancheng pointed to the iron dragon in the distance and said, "Don't you see that person, his twin brother was killed by you, and if you don't tell the truth, you will be handed over to him." You might have enough fat to feed him all the way. ”

Tashi Dorjee looked at Zhao Tiancheng's fingers, and then saw Tielong's hateful eyes at this time, Tashi Dorjee shuddered, he now has no doubt that once Zhao Tiancheng hands him over, that person will gnaw him to death one bite at a time, the look he pretended to be at that time was just because he had no fear, and at this time, the true face of the different positions was revealed.

"Yes...... It was Doge Sanji Tsering who asked me to do it. I can't help it!" When he explained again, Tashi Dorjee didn't dare to look at Zhao Tiancheng's gaze at all.

"It's him!" Li Minggong said with a sudden realization.

Seeing Li Minggong's appearance, Zhao Tiancheng knew that Li Minggong might have been suspicious before, but there was no evidence. "Do you know that man?"

Nodding, Li Minggong smiled bitterly and said: "He and we are doing a business, at that time it was the time when the Li family firm was booming, and when he found us and wanted to get fifty percent of the profit, he didn't agree when he thought that the other party wanted fifty percent of the profit if he didn't do anything." ”

Zhao Tiancheng could see that Li Minggong had regrets, the Li family firm was developing very well at that time, but in fact, Li Minggong was a little blind at that time. I didn't pay attention to the other party's threat at all, and now I think that if I can promise to give the other party fifty percent of the profit, although I earn less, there won't be so many things.

"Now that we know who is doing the obstruction...... Zhao Tiancheng has not finished speaking, Tashi Dorjee has already rolled under Zhao Tiancheng's horse like a meat ball, and cried loudly: "Young man! Hero! You can spare me! I was also forced!"

Maybe he couldn't even stand the horse, and with a kick of his forelegs, Tashi Dorjee's whole body suddenly rolled out. (To be continued......)
