A small market town, inside a stone house.
The old man gave a thumbs up, too excited to control himself.
"Okay, okay...you are really like this, you are really like this!"
He was so happy that he almost shook off his beard while gesturing with his thumb!
Songtsen Gampo was killed so easily by the other party!
This really made him feel unreal...living in a dream.
"That's natural. Our leader's archery skills are the best in the world!"
He Kui said proudly,
"Eight hundred miles away, an arrow shot through that man's head! You don't even need to bring a replacement!"
Xue Rengui rolled his eyes: "Be careful and blow me to death! It's still eight hundred miles away..."
He shot an arrow to the Tianshan Mountains for eight hundred miles!
"Hehe, hehe... That's a little exaggerated. In the hearts of my subordinates, you are such a great person."
He Kui laughed happily.
Xue Rengui was too lazy to pay attention to him, and his eyes fell on the old man.
"I have already killed the person you asked me to kill. I also went to do an autopsy just now. The dead cannot be killed again."
He said in a deep voice,
"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check now."
The old man waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, I've noticed their movements a long time ago!"
He smiled and said,
"To come here in such a hurry and frantically looking for the doctor, I know what's going on."
"You are really amazing! You completed the mission and got ten thousand taels of gold without spending a single soldier!"
"I have to say, those who are capable really deserve to make money!"
"If I have this ability, I will earn the money myself!"
After this battle, the old man became more and more respectful to Xue Rengui. He had no regrets at all for taking away tens of thousands of taels of gold, and he did not dare to have any other thoughts.
He is now the most powerful king in this simple market town!
"Haha, thank you."
Xue Rengui waved his hand and said calmly,
"The people are dead now. What you need to be careful about is not to let them pass by."
"However, before I left, I pretended to be a witch and asked them to wait where they were for seven days."
"I think these seven days are enough for you to do a lot of things."
The old man's heart trembled.
Those words immediately woke him up!
After all, the people of the Tang Dynasty had never seen Songtsan Gampo. If these soldiers randomly found someone bold enough to impersonate him, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would not be able to recognize him.
When the time comes to successfully marry the princess and return to Tubo, and with the support of the new Tubo nobles and landowners, I am afraid that this fake Zanpu will turn into a real Zanpu!
By then, Tubo will be in chaos!
Therefore, the news that Songtsen Gampo died in Tuyuhun must be spread immediately and cause a sensation!
In this way, the domestic high priest and Prince Zangbo can successfully launch a coup!
"Seven days...you are really thoughtful enough."
The old man took a deep breath and looked at Xue Rengui again, with a bit of awe in his eyes.
"You even took this into consideration and made a plan for me."
"Thank you, old man!"
He bowed to Xue Rengui.
When Xue Rengui heard this, he just waved his hand.
"It's just a piece of cake... There is no relationship between you and me anymore. Let's take our leave."
After that, he turned around and left.
"Hey, stay."
The old man hurriedly raised his hand and asked,
"With your skills and intelligence, it's really a pity to be a uh... boss."
"I have a good place here that can really make you stand out!"
"Do you want to..."
Wouldn't it be wonderful for such talents to be absorbed into Tubo and used by the high priest?
"I'm used to being free and don't like to be restricted."
Xue Rengui said lightly,
"That's it, it's good..."
The old man nodded, not forcing it.
"After we made this deal, we have become friends."
He said in a deep voice,
"My friend, I think I must remind you that... this time you shot a big shot."
"This place will become very dangerous. You must leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer disaster."
"Of course, I believe you must have considered it."
Xue Rengui nodded.
"I am a Tuyuhun native and will not leave the land of Tuyuhun."
He said,
"After finishing this job, I plan to take a rest and take my brothers back to the royal city to live a comfortable life for a few years."
"After so many years of licking blood from the edge of a knife, it's time to enjoy it."
The old man looked stern when he heard this.
"The King's City is good, the King's City is indeed a good place..."
He saluted Xue Rengui briefly and said,
"Then I wish you a safe journey!"
"Thank you." Xue Rengui nodded slightly, turned and left the stone room.
"Tuyuhun... the royal city."
The old man murmured,
"It is indeed a good place...hehe..."
As he spoke, he took out pen and paper from the cabinet nearby and began to draw on the paper.
What he drew was exactly the outline of Xue Rengui!
"It's a pity...the candlelight in the stone room is too dim, and his hair is too long to see clearly..."
The old man sighed softly, laughed again and said,
"But at least we know where he went."
"I have to say, you really know how to choose a place! Hahaha..."
…
Outside the stone house.
Xue Rengui wiped his face, wiping away the yellow and black ash on his face, revealing a fair face.
Yes, he can be regarded as half a pretty boy.
Although he had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time in Tugu, and his fair face was almost tanned into a dark face, the fairness of his skin was still more than two or three levels higher than that of the locals.
Naturally, this kind of facial features cannot be preserved.
When dealing with people in a place like this, you must not be conspicuous in any way! It’s best to have a popular face and a popular skin color, the kind that people will forget at a glance.
"Boss, do we really want to go to Tuyuhun King's City?"
He Kui said a little puzzled,
"Aren't you going to do what we were told by above...?"
The corners of Xue Rengui's mouth raised slightly.
"Thank you for your hard work during this time, brothers."
He said seriously,
"You heard it just now. We accidentally killed a big shot. We can't stay here for a long time, so we have to leave."
"As for where to go, I have already thought about it... Anyway, the tasks assigned above do not have to be completed in Tuyuhun."
He Kui: "???"
"ah?"
He was stunned.
What does this mean?
I don’t understand it at all!
"I miss the prosperity of Chang'an... Can you not go to Tuyuhun Royal City?"
He Kui scratched his head and whispered.
Although he is a Turk, he has regarded Datang as his only hometown! Even a little bit of 'convert fanaticism'!
Of course, the main reason is that it’s really fun to be in Chang’an…as long as you have money…
And he is quite rich now.
Xue Rengui rubbed the ashes on his face and said:
"Of course it's not to go to Tuyuhun King's City, it's just to deceive the old man and give him wrong information."
He Kui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became excited.
"Ah? Then we can go back to Datang!"
He almost jumped with joy.
"Of course you can't go back to Datang!"
Xue Rengui said in a deep voice,
"It's not done yet!"
"We are going east now, to Xue Yantuo!"
"After Xue Yantuo has completely finished everything, he will return to Chang'an...but it won't be too long this time."
"Actually, our role is... similar to that of scouts, can you understand?"
He Kui looked stern.
"My subordinate understands... Could it be that there is going to be a war?"
He had a guess in his mind and asked cautiously.
After listening to Xue Rengui's words, he understood immediately——
Datang may use troops next! They are here to visit Tuyuhun!
However, as I kept going and making some extra money, something unexpected happened.
Then we have to leave Tuyuhun and go to Xue Yantuo...
"Who knows...the decisions made above are not for us little minions to speculate on."
Xue Rengui waved his hand and ordered,
"Let's go."
"Pack up your things and let's set off to Xue Yantuo."
"By the way, tell the brothers that you have worked hard, melt some of the gold bricks, and give each of the brothers ten taels of gold as a reward."
"You and a few lieutenants, one hundred taels each."
"By the way, don't tell anyone! Logically speaking, we can't take on these tasks. It's a bad rule! If anyone finds out, we will all be killed by the pickets!"
He Kui's heart was shaken!
One hundred taels of gold! That's one hundred taels, which is more than a thousand taels of silver!
After serving as a soldier for one year, he only had a few thousand copper coins left after eating and drinking.
This extra money earned him wealth that he could not have earned even if he had been a soldier for a hundred years!
He can buy a house in Chang'an! I can live a comfortable life!
Who said this Tuyuhun is a shabby place? This is simply a blessed land, a gold mine!
"As you command!"
He ran away in a hurry, thinking about how to spend the one hundred taels of gold.
As for the remaining eight thousand taels of gold, he didn't even consider it.
Why is the boss the boss?
Because he is awesome, when he can eat meat, he will share some soup with everyone!
Now that the soup has been drunk, whoever dares to eat meat will be unethical.
If you want to eat meat, be the boss yourself!
Xue Rengui looked at He Kui's leaving figure with a calm expression.
The old man wants to lie, and He Kui also wants to lie.
The soldiers under his command only need to be puppets on strings and are not qualified to know too many inside stories.
Otherwise, it might cause trouble.
Before leaving, his eldest brother specifically told him——
Killing Songtsen Gampo may sound like just a task, but there are actually two main points.
One, of course, is precise beheading.
The second is not to let anyone know that this matter was done by the Tang people!
Only by doing these two things well can the task be considered successfully completed and he can truly start his mission.
Now, we’re only halfway there!
"call--"
Xue Rengui took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and said softly,
"Grand Master, Second Master, and Third Master, I can finally take over from you."
"Brother...I probably didn't disappoint you."
"The coolies of the past can finally do something for you now,"
At this moment, his heart felt comfortable.
From the moment he was fished out of the construction site by Xu Fenglei, he had been thinking about repaying his eldest brother, his benefactor who was like a reborn parent!
And with the careful teachings of Master Li Jing, Second Master Cheng Yaojin and other masters, he felt more and more——
Big brother's kindness... is not over yet!
So many resources fell on a young boy like him!
Why are the masters so kind to me? It is to replenish the body, teach the art of war, and practice martial arts.
It’s not because of big brother! The masters all gave face to the elder brother in the beginning! back
Otherwise, no matter how talented I am, I still won’t be favored by those big guys...
Xue Rengui understood this, so he studied hard and practiced hard!
The day finally came when he could repay his elder brother a little bit...
After standing there for a while, a light appeared in the sky.
Xue Rengui looked towards the east——
As long as he goes to Xue Yantuo for a while, he can go back to see his elder brother and masters!
…
Deliberately spread by thoughtful people, the news that "Tubo Zampo Songtsen Gampo died in Tuyuhun" swept the grassland!
The world is shocked!
A few days later.
Tubo, royal court.
When the high priest announced the news of Songtsen Gampo, all the princes felt like they were mourning for their heirs!
boom!
"Damn it! I told you I couldn't go, I couldn't go, why didn't you listen to me!"
"Now he is dead. He died on the way to ask for marriage! This is even more shameful than dying on a woman's belly! He didn't even see the woman!"
"Ahhhhh!"
Gadan Gampo roared angrily, his emotions completely out of control!
He stood up suddenly and kicked over the desk in front of him!
"Prince Gadan, please be sensible!"
The high priest said with a sad face,
"The death of Zampu in Tuyuhun is the biggest loss for us Tibetan people! All of us are very sad in our hearts!"
"But now is not the time to get angry, we must take measures quickly!"
"The first is to immediately hold Tuyuhun accountable, and send the army to investigate Zamp's death and find out the murderer! The body was cut into thousands of pieces!"
"The second is to stabilize the domestic situation. The country cannot be without a king for a day. We must have a new Zanpu, otherwise the country will inevitably be in chaos!"
His words aroused the approval of all the princes.
"The high priest is right! The murderer must be cut into thousands of pieces! If the Murong family did it, then send troops to Tuyuhun and wipe out the Murong family!"
"That's right! Such a great revenge must be avenged! Zanpu, Zanpu...wuwuwu..."
"If I don't avenge this, I swear I won't be a human being! I will lead my troops to Tuyuhun now!"
"..."
Several princes were gnashing their teeth at this moment, feeling sad and angry in their hearts!
He is so grumpy that he immediately wants to go to war!
Zanpu died in Tuyuhun, and Murong Fuyun has an unshirkable responsibility. They now hate everything about Tuyuhun, and the first one to bear the brunt is Murong Fuyun!
"Everyone, calm down!"
The high priest kept saying,
"The dragons cannot be leaderless, otherwise they will inevitably fall into chaos! We must have a new Zamp to lead the overall situation!"
"Whether we want to kill the murderer or send troops to Tuyuhun, we need this new Zamp to lead us!"
"So, today we must elect a new Zamp!"
All the princes looked at each other.
"High Priest, we haven't seen Zamp's body yet. Are you too impatient?"
Gadan Gampo stared at the high priest and said coldly,
"Also, I think there is something fishy about Zamp's death. There is something wrong with it!"
"Therefore, the selection of a new Zamp can only be carried out after everything has been clarified!"
