Chapter 431 Potala Palace
Princess Wencheng was almost sent out of the camp by the sergeant of Tubo. Finally, under the gaze of a group of barbarians like wolves and tigers, Princess Wencheng could only step on the carriage first and leave this place of right and wrong first.
"What should I do? What should I do! ..." Li Xueyan sat in the car and felt that her strength had been drained. She lay weakly on the wall of the car and muttered to herself, "Why am I so useless? At this moment, how can I go back?"
At this time, the leader of the school outside the car asked, "Your Highness has taken the medicine. Why don't we speed up the trip and go back to help the young commander quickly!" First of all, the condition is urgent, and secondly, I'm afraid that the Tubo people will change their mind again!"
"..." Princess Wencheng was silent, and her whole face withered like a flower, dim.
No one answered for a long time, and the small school vaguely felt a trace of bad, but he did not dare to ask more questions.
After a while, a decisive voice suddenly came from the carriage - "Turn around, I'm going to Tubo Camp again!"
"What?" The military academy and maidservants outside the car were shocked and mistook one after another, and the team also stopped for a moment.
Li Xueyan poked her head out of the car window, and her eyes were determined to fanatical - "Don't you hear it clearly? Return to Tubo Camp!"
"Yes!"
After walking back for several miles, suddenly several cavalrymen appeared in front of him, stopping just in front of Princess Wencheng's car.
"What's on the bus, Her Royal Highness Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty?" The knights are all Tubo, and one of them asked.
"Who are you?" The leader of the team shouted and scolded.
"It's fine!" Several Tubo knights obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said a few words, and one of them ran away. In the other few times, he got off the horse and walked to Princess Wencheng's car. He bent down politely and said, "Your Highness, don't be surprised. We are the guardians under Zanpu's command and have been ordered to come to pursue the princess. Please sit here for a moment, and Zamp will come to meet Your Highness in person immediately!"
"Oh?" Princess Wencheng was shocked and said to himself, "Is this change again?" That's good! The Chalqin Mausoleum is like a smelly and hard stone. Oil and salt do not invade water and fire. Let's see what his attitude is like!
After less than a ray of incense, dozens of riders came ahead. Recently, it can be seen that this group of people are all carrying eagles and dogs with bows and knives, all of which are dressed as hunting in Qiuwei.
Dozens of riders got off the horse together and followed the leading man towards the car. The Tubo pawn accompanying the car whispered, "Your Highness, Zanpu is here."
Li Xueyan looked out of the car and saw an extremely tall young man, string towards this side like the stars and the moon. Although it doesn't look real through a layer of curtain, his light and comfortable pace is different from everyone around him. In a faint time, it exudes a natural superior demeanor, which is not negligible and impressive.
When it came to ten steps ahead of the car, all the rest of his followers stopped, and Zanpu came forward alone. At this time, Li Xueyan saw his appearance clearly. A national face is clearly angular like an axe and knife. It is obviously shaped into a bronze color by the year-long cold wind on the plateau. The thick eyebrows, star eyes, eagle nose and thin lips, and the humus are majestic and self-respect.
Even according to the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty, the person in front of him is a beautiful man with outstanding temperament.
Li Xueyan thought to herself: I have heard that the Abandoned Sect praised him for a long time, but he was similar to Mu Bai in his early twenties. How could he look like he was in his thirties? ... It seems that he has a little king style, but it is not as handsome, heroic and romantic as Mu Bai!
"The princess is far away and surprised. Please forgive me." Qi Zong went to the front of the car, smiled slightly, gave a Han gift, and said, "This place is very inappropriate to stay for a long time and it is not convenient to speak freely, so can the princess get out of the car and say a few words?"
Li Xueyan was secretly surprised: she seemed to be rude and domineering, but she was polite and polite.
"Okay!" Li Xueyan didn't say much, so she got out of the car.
For a moment, Qizong, who stood under the car and looked up at it, and his pupils shrank slightly. He was used to the strong wind and waves facing the collapse of Mount Tai and did not change color, and his face showed a rare amazing color!
Although it is fleeting, because of a woman's natural **, Princess Wencheng took his expression at this moment.
The maidservant served Princess Wencheng and got out of the car. Qizong took two steps forward and arched his hand. "Please ask the princess to move a little. Let's make a long story short."
Li Xueyan wore a palace gauze to cover her hat, did not squint and did not say a word, so she walked forward.
Abandoned Zong stopped for half a step, quickly glanced at Li Xueyan's back, and smiled slightly.
The two of them took more than 20 steps before stopping. Li Xueyan stood in front of the wind and said, "What does Zanpu want to say?"
"I want to ask, how is Qin Mubai now? What happened to my captain, Damba Wangjie, the captain of the guard?
"You should know better than me about the poisonous life of Marshal Qin; as for Damba Wangjie... You can go back and ask the Chalingling." Li Xueyan's face was tight, and she said coldly.
Qi Zong obviously frowned and said, "All I know is that you sent one ear of Damba Wangjie. What the hell happened?"
"Your Majesty Zamp, please don't waste each other's time again." An unknown industry fire in Li Xueyan's heart was already soaring that she had to suppress her anger and said, "Isn't it you who sent someone to poison Marshal Qin? But why are you pretending to be stupid here again? I have seen the insidious and shameless palace of the Chaling Mausoleum. Does Zanpu have to perform again?
"The princess is angry." Qi Zong praised him with peace of mind. He said, "Since I came here to pursue the princess, I just want to ask things clearly and find a reasonable solution. Yes, Damba Wangjie is my captain of the guard. I sent him to sneak into the embassy and sneak into the Tang army camp. On the contrary, it's definitely not to poison and murder. On the contrary, he is to save people and talk.
"Saving people? Peace talks?" Li Xueyan, who didn't know this level, was a little confused for a moment and asked, "Where does this start?"
"It seems that you don't know." Qi Zong laughed and said, "Last time, I accidentally mixed three 'shadow teeth' into the team that escorted the Tang army."
"What is the shadow tooth?"
"A group of dead men trained privately in the garqinling are all strong and cold-blooded, and they are proficient in assassination and snipers with poisons and hidden weapons, and often carry out some special missions for the garqinling." Qi Zong said, "They only know one master, that is, the Chalqin Mausoleum. Even I don't have the right to punish them.
"So are you Zamp or is he Zamp?" Li Xueyan couldn't help sneering.
"Isn't Qin Mubai also loyal to private equity, the Hundred Horse Guard and the Eight Hundred Snow Sculptures? What's so strange about this?" Qi Zong laughed indifferently and said, "Let's get to the point! - Seeing that he sent a shadow tooth, I was suspicious and secretly sent people into the team."
"You want to say that you are worried that the Chalqinling will send someone to assassinate Qin Mubai, so you send someone to secretly stop it?" Li Xueyan sneered in surprise and sarcasm, "Your Majesty Zanpu, please don't fool me like a child."
"It's unbelievable, but it's true." Qi Zong praised with a smile on his face and said, "For the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and me, Zanpu of Tubo, Qin Mubai can't die; the Kansai army can't be defeated. You may not be able to understand all the subtleties. But please believe that everything I'm saying now is true.
"Then you can withdraw and make peace!" Li Xueyan said naturally.
"Yes." Unexpectedly, Li Xueyan agreed quite simply and said without thinking, "As long as Qin Mubai is willing to sit down and talk, I can even go to your Tangjun camp in person to show my sincerity."
"!!" Li Xueyan, this is really not a big surprise. She, who had never looked up to the praise of Abandoned Zong, couldn't help but turn her head and looked at the praise of Abandoned Zong and said, "You are definitely not really praising Abandoned Zong!" You are a fake!"
"Ha ha!" Qi Zong laughed and said, "It's not surprising that you don't know me; in fact, even on the plateau, there are not as many people who know me as those who know Garqinling."
Li Xueyan's heart lit up: Is he... is there something in his words? It is clear that it is a secret that the merits of the Chalqin Mausoleum is high, which makes the plateau people only recognize the Chalqin Mausoleum and not the praise of the Zong!
"But if you want to talk about peace, it's not easy for the Chalqin Mausoleum. What should you do?" Li Xueyan asked.
"You are very smart. It's up to the point." Qizong's eyes narrowed slightly at the boundless sky in the distance and said, "I'm not as good as him to sweep thousands of troops to establish a country; he is not as good as me to protect the land and educate the people. He has always wanted to be a merchant in Tibet, believing that only the severe punishment method and the golden iron horse are the way to dominate and win.
"Shang Jun is amazing. Daqin finally swept the six-in-one unification of the world." Li Xueyan said, "However, Qiang Qin died only two generations, isn't it because of a word 'storm'? Domineering is by no means a long-term plan for peace. Only the king can serve the four seas and the people. Since the Chalqin Mausoleum is claimed to be far-sighted, he doesn't even understand this truth?
"He is smarter than me. He is smarter than ordinary people, so he must understand. Qi Zong looked at the front with his eyes slightly and said leisurely, "He just wants to do the affairs of his descendants for hundreds of years together in his lifetime. He wants to dominate first and then be the king. After the horse steps on the Central Plains to unify Kyushu, he will then implement the king's rule. His ambition is far better than mine. He is not satisfied with stopping on the plateau at all... The fertile land of the Central Plains is the paradise he dreams of!"
"The robber!" Li Xueyan said angrily, "If you can't forget other people's things, that's a robber!"
"The thief kills the country. Isn't that what the Han people say?" Qi Zong smiled helplessly and said, "The difference is that what the Erqinling wants to steal is this long world for thousands of years."
"He is obviously delusional." Li Xueyan was so angry that she wanted to laugh and said, "Even if he wins for a while and wants to step on the Central Plains to unify the world, is this possible? Your Majesty Zamp, I'm afraid he's a smart person, and he won't believe it!"
Abandoned Zong smiled and didn't say anything. He just said, "In fact, at present, Tubo needs peace more than the Tang Dynasty. Although our Tubo Dynasty has been much stronger through various legislation and reforms over the years, it has been exhausted due to the previous tribal division. Although there are hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers, the national strength still cannot compete with the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I took the initiative to make peace with Datang.
After saying that, Qi Zong turned his head, looked at Li Xueyan with deep meaning, and said, "If you are close, you and I are now husband and wife."
"You also said that it's just if." Li Xueyan turned her head to avoid his sight and said lightly, "Now, you and I are my enemy. You don't have to tell me a lot of your secrets. At the time of now, I only care about one thing.
"Princess, please speak."
"Please give me the antidote to treat young commander Qin."
"Yes." Qi Zong's praise answered very simply again and said, "But I have something to make before that."
"Please say it."
"As far as I know, Garqinling did not want to poison Qin Mubai. At most, it made Yingya dizzy him, and then secretly robbed him in the mission with a package and used it as a prisoner." Qi Zong said, "Although the Chalqin Mausoleum is arrogant and unruly, it has always been quite heroic. He admires Qin Mubai very much and cherishes each other, and has always wanted him to devote himself to Tubo. Even if it doesn't work, you have to imprison him on the plateau and let him have many confidants.
"There is a lot of nonsense. In this way, is it the young commander Qin you sent to poison?" Li Xueyan was already a little impatient and said.
"No." Qizong sighed and said, "After talking for a long time, the princess still refused to believe me. Since I am sincere and allied, how can I send someone to poison Qin Mubai?
"That's strange. Can Mu Bai still take the poison by himself!" Li Xueyan sneered.
"It's very likely." Abandoned Zong praised but gave a serious answer.
"A school of nonsense!" Li Xueyan said angrily, "Do you give this antidote or not? As the king of a country, don't go back on your back!"
Abandoned Zong shook his head helplessly and smiled. He took out a very small blue vase and handed it to Li Xueyan and said, "Yingya is good at using a kind of flower poison called 'Zibazlanli', but it can only make people dizzy. You have to add the ash burned by the gecko's tail to make medicine to kill people. However, as long as this poison is poisoned, it will die in an instant and there is no way to save it. Gar Qinling was afraid that I would be accidentally injured by this strong poison, so he gave me an antidote to carry with me in case of emergency. I don't know if it's this kind of poison in Qin Mubai. You... have the right to have a try!"
Li Xueyan stretched out her hand, but stopped in mid-air and did not answer it. She looked at the abandoned Zong suspiciously and praised it.
"I swear in the name of my ancestors that what I just said is true. Please believe me, Your Highness!" Abandoned Zong said seriously.
Li Xueyan then reached out and grabbed the medicine bottle, clenched it tightly in the palm of her hand, said 'thank you' and hurriedly turned around and left.
"Your Highness, please stay!" Abandoned Zong praised and shouted behind him.
"What else is wrong with Zamp?" Li Xueyan was like an arrow in her heart, and she asked urgently without looking back.
Abandoned Zong took a few steps forward and walked to Li Xueyan and said, "I hope the young commander of Qin is safe and sound, and the two countries can sit down again and talk sincerely, so as not to let the people fall into war. Please believe in my sincerity and convey it to Commander Qin and His Majesty Tianke Khan.
"I know." Li Xueyan replied in a hurry.
"And, Your Highness, you are very charming. You are the most beautiful and outstanding woman I have ever seen in the world. The smile on Qi Zong's face softened again and said, "Please forgive the roughness and straightforwardness of the Tubo man. We never hide or decorate love and hate. I hope that one day, I can become a husband and wife with you, and the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will become a country of in-laws.
Li Xueyan was slightly shocked all over her body and was silent for a moment. She turned around and looked up at Abandoned Zong and said with firm eyes, "Your Majesty Zanpu, I have always hoped for less war and more peace. That's why I took the initiative to marry Tubo before. But please listen clearly that it was before, not now. Whether the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are at war or not in the future, Li Xueyan will not be your wife after all.
"Oh? Why is this? I have ordered to imitate the palace of the Tang Dynasty and build the Potala Palace for you in Luoce City!" Abandoned Zong finally showed a trace of surprise.
"If you had said that to me a few months ago, I might have run to Tubo to marry you desperately. But now, it's impossible!" Li Xueyan lowered her eyelids and bit her lips. She seemed to be a little shy and stopped talking, but finally said, "Because... except for him, I can't pretend to be another man in the bottom of my heart!"
"Is it Qin Mubai?" Qi Zong raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"It has nothing to do with you, Your Majesty Zamp!" Li Xueyan covered the medicine bottle tightly and ran to the carriage. As she ran, she said, "Thank you for your antidote, Zanpu! If you hadn't lied to me, you would have been a good man and a good man! But... I'm his!"
Abandoned Zong stood with his hand behind his hand behind his side. With complicated eyes, Li Xueyan ran to the distance, shook his head, and nodded. There was a smile on his face that no one could understand, and muttered:
"Gard Qinling...Qin Mubai... Potala Palace!"
