As expected, it was a martial artist who didn't think so long term.
Wang Wenxiu and Yu Qishi exchanged glances and shook their heads.
Wang Wenxiu didn't answer. He drank tea and replied calmly: "Think about it."
"Let me think about it." Zheng Ding drank tea and fell into deep thought.
He thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Is the Dharma King that important?"
"After all, His Holiness lived in Tubo for decades and had a great influence. He had many followers in Tubo." Wang Wenxiu reminded Zheng Ding.
Zheng Ding still didn't understand. He frowned and asked, "But now that most Chapas have believed in Manjushri Bodhisattva, is the Dharma King still necessary?"
"Most Chapas do believe in Manjushri Bodhisattva, but the influence of the Dharma King on the upper echelons of Tibet cannot be ignored." Wang Wenxiu put down the teacup and continued to remind.
Zheng Ding patted the table and suddenly realized: "If the Dharma King completely surrenders to the little saint, then Tibet will be completely unified."
"Of course." Wang Wenxiu and Yu Qishi looked at each other and showed satisfied smiles.
Rebel camp in small valley.
Seeing Xu Yue finally coming back, Jiangbai Chilie and Gongdui Siru hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Commander, what's the result?" Jiang Bai Chilie licked his chapped lips, hesitated again and again, then bowed and asked.
Now they are hungry and cold, and their only hope lies in Xu Xing.
Xu Xing bowed his hands and looked at the two of them and replied: "There is good news and there is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Hear the good news first." Jiang Bai and Chilie felt a sense of ominousness in their hearts, so they chose the good news.
Xu Xing replied calmly: "The Han people have agreed to give us delicious food and immortal charcoal for the immortal furnace, which can be enough for us to use for three days."
Hearing Xu Xing's words, Jiang Bai Chilie and Gongdui Siru's eyes showed joy, and they breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they don't have to starve to death here for the time being.
"What's the bad news?" After hearing the news, Jiang Bai Chilie felt happy and felt that he could bear it.
Xu Xing smiled bitterly: "The bad news is, these cost one thousand taels of gold."
"Why don't these Han people go and rob them?" Gongdui Siru jumped up, pointed at the cavalry army's barracks below and shouted loudly.
"The price is indeed expensive." Xu Xing nodded, agreeing with Gongdui Siru's statement, still smiling bitterly, "But think about it, after we freeze to death here, this gold will not belong to the Han people."
After hearing this, Gongdui Siru picked up the whip and whipped it hard on the ground to vent his anger.
"What do you mean by the military advisor, the Han people don't want us to die?" Jiang Bai Chilie heard another meaning from Xu Xing's words.
Xu Xing shook his head and felt that Jiang Bai Chilie thought too simply: "It's not that the Han people don't want us to die, but that our life and death are in their hands. If they want us to die, we can only die. If they want us to live, we can live. "
Jiang Bai Chilie suddenly realized, his face turned livid.
Gongdui Siru also felt that his heart was directly at the bottom of the river, and he didn't know when the end would be.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?" After Jiang Bai Chilie got angry, he calmed down and wanted to seek Xu Xing's opinion.
Seeing their expressions, Xu Xing knew that they were at a loss.
Xu Xing looked at the two of them and said calmly: "Didn't I tell you, negotiate."
"How to negotiate?" The two of them looked at each other and felt that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests. Now their only hope was on this Han man.
Xu Xing glanced at the two of them and said solemnly: "As long as we can keep the position of Dharma King, we can talk about anything."
Hearing this, Jiang Bai Chilie and Gongdui Siru looked bitter.
Now they can't run away even if they want. All fate is in the hands of the Han people.
"Perhaps the best destination for the Dharma King is like this." Jiang Bai Chilie looked at the Dharma King, shook his head, and sighed heavily.
Gongdui Siru also nodded: "The Dharma King is already confused and confused. Being able to keep the Dharma King's position is already the best result."
In the opinion of Jiangbai Chilie and Gongdui Siru, if the Dharma King is sane, he is worthy of their following.
But even the two of them could not recognize the Dharma King, so what was the point of following him.
As the closest people to His Holiness, the two of them had actually given up on His Holiness, but they couldn’t say it clearly.
Jiangbai Chilie and Gongdui Siru bowed to Xu Xing: "I'd like to trouble the military advisor to negotiate."
"I'm a military advisor, so it's natural." Xu Xing returned the salute and answered in an extremely plain tone.
After saying that, he and his two soldiers got on their horses again and rode to negotiate with the Han people.
Jiang Bai Chilie followed Xu Xing towards the Han camp with fifty soldiers and horses, no weapons, and only one thousand taels of gold.
One thousand taels of gold indeed made him heartbroken, but compared with it, his life was obviously more important.
Fortunately, when he brought a thousand taels of gold, the Han people did not make things difficult for him. They needed fairy stoves, fairy charcoal, steamed buns, and even gave them some desks, stools, and a bag of Zui Chunfeng tea.
After purchasing these items, Jiang Bai Chilie felt most assured that he would be safe at least for the time being.
Jiang Bai Chilie and others were warming themselves by the fire in the immortal furnace while stuffing delicious food into their mouths.
While eating, he asked in confusion: "I really don't know what these Han people are thinking. This fairy stove can only be used for two hours, and why is this delicacy called steamed buns so delicious?"
"With the blessing of Manjusri Bodhisattva, it's no surprise that the Han people can do these things." Gongdui Siru thought for a while, smiled bitterly, and came to this conclusion.
"Now that the Dharma King is like this, what should we do?" Jiangbai Chilie hesitated for a long time, looked at the Dharma King next to him who was warming himself by the fire, and then said it.
The Dharma King has a separate immortal furnace, while the two of them share a fairy furnace.
In fact, Jiang Bai Chilie's treatment was quite good. This time the Han people sold them a total of one hundred immortal furnaces, one for four people on average.
If he didn't say it, Gongdui Siru would definitely not say it. After all, he was a deputy.
Hearing this, Gongdui Siru's pupils shrank. He looked at the Dharma King carefully and finally felt relieved when he saw the Dharma King's confused look.
While Gongdui Siru was warming himself by the fire, he looked at Jiang Bai Chilie and asked, "Captain, what do you mean?"
When he said this, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This was the moment that decided the future fate of the two of them.
"No matter what, the Dharma King treats us so well, I am determined to follow the Dharma King in this life." Jiangbai Chilie came to the Dharma King and bowed respectfully.
Hearing this, the two of them did not notice that Dharma King's eyes flashed and suddenly became bright.
Gongdui Siru couldn't help but be stunned. He only guessed the beginning but not the outcome.
After thinking about it, he also came to the Dharma King and bowed respectfully: "Dharma King, we are your subordinates and we will follow you forever in this life."
From the bottom of his heart, he was not willing to do this, but the boss had already done it and he had to express his stance.
After Jiang Bai Chilie made up his mind, he came to the Dharma King's Immortal Furnace.
He tore open the steamed buns with his hands and fed them into the Dharma King's mouth bit by bit.
After the Karmapa ate some steamed buns, he felt better and murmured: "Tea, tea."
There was very little sound, and Jiang Bai Chilie didn't hear it for a while.
Until the Dharma King was still calling for tea, Jiang Bai Chilie finally confirmed that the Dharma King was awake.
Jiang Bai Chilie was overjoyed when it was confirmed that the Dharma King was awake.
"His Holiness, are you awake?" He looked up at His Holiness.
Gongdui Siru's face was full of surprise, and he came to the Dharma King and bowed: "Dharma King, Dharma King."
But the Dharma King ignored them. He just looked at the steamed buns in Jiangbai Chilie's hand and kept shouting softly: "Tea, tea."
"His Holiness has a dry mouth now, but there is no butter tea here, what should I do?" Gongdui Siru rubbed his hands and kept walking around the tent.
Jiang Bai Chilie looked at the Zui Chunfeng tea on the stool and had no choice but to try to serve it.
Seeing that the Dharma King did not take the tea cup, Jiang Bai Chilie sighed inwardly. It was obvious that the Dharma King was only a little awake and was far from being truly awake.
Jiangbai Chilie held the tea cup close to His Holiness. The Holiness hesitated for a few times, then finally put his lips into the tea cup and started drinking tea.
Seeing that the Dharma King was like a baby, Jiangbai Chilie and Gongdui Siru looked at each other and both showed wry smiles.
Jiangbai Chilie thought for a while and decided to tell the Dharma King about the dispatch for negotiations. After all, this was related to the Dharma King's fate and future.
He bowed to the Dharma King and said, "Dharma King, the military advisor has gone to negotiate with the Han people."
"Tea, tea." But His Holiness didn't seem to hear him and still refused to drink tea.
Jiangbai Chilie was still worried and shouted loudly: "His Majesty, the military advisor has gone to negotiate with the Han people."
"Talk, talk, talk." His Holiness asked long-windedly.
A joyful smile bloomed on Jiang Bai Chilie's face. Finally, His Holiness was no longer just limited to a cup of tea, he knew how to talk.
He bowed and tried to say: "His Holiness, the military advisor has gone to negotiate with the Han people."
"Talk, talk, talk, negotiate." His Holiness spoke for a long time and finally said the word "negotiate."
Jiangbai Chilie felt that his whole body was filled with strength. The Dharma King's condition was getting better and better, and he was able to say the word "negotiation".
He stepped forward and bowed to the Dharma King again: "Dharma King, now the Han people have blocked all roads, and the only way is negotiation."
Although he is the captain of the soldiers, he can make decisions before the Dharma King wakes up.
Now that the Dharma King has woken up, he must make a report.
"Talk, talk, negotiate." The Dharma King kept talking for a long time, and finally said one word, "Okay."
After hearing the Dharma King's agreement, Jiangbai Chilie and Gongdui Siru looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiangbai Chilie thought for a while and decided to report other things to the Dharma King.
He bowed to the Dharma King again and said: "Dharma King, we have nothing to eat, and we have no firewood to warm the fire, so we spent a thousand taels of gold to buy these."
"Gold, gold." His Holiness kept saying these words, which made Jiangbai Chilie and Gongdui Siru regret it. Did His Holiness dislike the price?
But now this place is freezing cold and desolate, with no firewood or food. If we don't buy things from the Han people, we will die.
After the Dharma King said a few words about gold, he suddenly trembled and said: "Okay, okay."
After hearing the Dharma King's words, the two of them wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. It seemed that the Dharma King agreed.
An hour later, dusk had fallen.
Tap tap tap tap, the sound of horse hooves came over.
Gongdui Siru opened the curtain of the tent and looked happy. It turned out that Xu Xing was back.
Jiang Bai stood up from the stool with a loud roar.
"Commander, how are the negotiations?" He looked at Xu Xing with bright eyes, and his heart seemed to be restless.
Xu Xing was about to do so, but found that the Dharma King was also looking at him.
With a look of joy on his face, he looked at Jiang Bai Chilie and asked: "Captain Jiang Bai, is the Dharma King awake?"
"I just woke up, but I can't speak well." Jiang Bai Chilie didn't know whether it was pain or joy, so he could only answer simply.
Xu Xing stepped forward and bowed his hands, saying neither arrogantly nor humblely: "Zile has met the Dharma King."
He felt that as a Han, he did not need to bow to Tubo.
Jiangbai Chilie was furious. He and Gongdui Siru wanted to bow to the Dharma King, but the Han man had to bow his hand, which showed their disrespect for the Dharma King. The captain stepped on it.
Although Jiang Bai Chilie stretched out his hand, he finally retracted it and turned his head to other places angrily.
"Yes." Dharma King did not move, but looked at him.
Xu Xing was overjoyed, as long as the Dharma King could speak out, it would be easy.
If the Dharma King had not spoken, he would not have known how the matter was handled.
Jiangbai Chilie didn't like Xu Xing very much at this time, but Gongdui Siru didn't dare.
After all, Xu Xing and the others were sent to negotiate, and he urgently needed to know the results.
He bowed to Xu Xing and said, "Commander, how are the negotiations going?"
Seeing Gongdui Siru being polite, Xu Xing felt better.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"When I came to the Han barracks, I was laughed at by the Tubo cavalry there. Fortunately, I showed my identity as a Han and they went in to report." When Xu Xing said this, he looked at Jiangbai Chilie and Gongdui Siru. Two people.
Jiang Bai Chilie had been fuming angrily just now, but now he had calmed down and listened to Xu Xing's words wholeheartedly.
Jiangbai Chilie and Gongdui Siru turned red when they heard Xu Xing's words.
If it were the two of them negotiating, they would not be qualified to enter.
Gongdui Siru bowed again: "Thank you for your hard work, military advisor. How is the negotiation going?"
He urgently needed to know the answer, so he got up and bowed again.
"When I went to negotiate, the Han people asked us to surrender unconditionally." Xu Xing nodded, took another sip of tea, and then continued,
Having said this, he looked at the three Dharma Kings again to see how they would react.
Jiang Bai Chilie stood up from his seat angrily, and with a bang, his fist hit the desk hard.
Several tea cups jumped up and then fell on the table, tea overflowing.
Jiangbai Chilie didn't care about this at all: "If the Han people say this, we would rather fight to death or freeze to death than surrender to the Han people."
"That's what I said too. The Han people reluctantly agreed to us retaining the Dharma King, but there are conditions." Xu Xing smiled bitterly and then answered.
Jiangbai Chilie and Gongdui Siru looked at each other, wondering what they felt in their hearts.
Jiang Bai Chilie thought for a while and asked cautiously: "Military advisor, what conditions did the Han people put forward?"
The Dharma King and Gongdui Siru did not speak. They looked at Xu Xing without blinking, hoping to know the answer.
"The Han people said that if they must retain the Dharma King, the condition is to satisfy them." After Xu Yue said this, he took another sip of tea and looked at the three of them with a wry smile.
Jiangbai Chilie and Gongdui Siru looked at each other, wondering what conditions would satisfy the Han people.
The two originally wanted to consult His Holiness, but seeing that His Holiness was still semi-awake and unable to speak clearly, it was obviously not possible.
Jiang Bai Chilie stood up from his seat, looked at the Han camp in the distance, and asked with a frown: "What do the Han people mean?"
