"Go to the village ahead and find a house!" Tang Ping shouted through gritted teeth.
During this pursuit, the enemy didn't seem to want to kill them directly, but actually just bit them, hoping to completely defeat them.
It seems that the Mittal family is really capable. They know that their individual combat capabilities are too strong, so they use such a tired strategy to reduce the mental and physical fitness of the Tang Dynasty soldiers to the lowest point.
Tang Ping also knew that his soldiers were approaching the critical point.
This was originally his own mission, and he didn't want any soldier to die because of his mission.
So even if he tried to give up the mission, he still planned to bring the person back to Chang'an.
But what Tang Ping didn't expect was that when they approached the small village, they discovered through the drone that there were many people ambushing in the village.
But he had no time to find another village, so he could only give the order loudly: "Prepare to fight, occupy a room..."
"Wait a minute, Duke Ping!" Raja Sri, who had been following Tang Ping and his companions for the past few days without any presence, suddenly interrupted. When Tang Ping looked over with red eyes, he quickly said, "He is one of our own."
"One of our own?" Tang Ping was stunned. Where did Tianzhu's own people come from?
"Yes, they are my subordinates."
"You, who are you?" I had known for a long time that the other party was not simple, but I had never figured out the true identity of the other party. Unexpectedly, Raja Sri jumped out on his own at this moment.
"Harshat King Shirajita was my elder brother. He drowned and died a few years ago. He left no heirs, which led to the fall of the Harsha dynasty. But his drowning was not an accident, but a murder. I am looking for the reason behind it. There was an accident while working as a gangster, and the last person escaped."
"In order to return to Zhongtianzhu, I joined your team. Now there are people in the village in front who are still loyal to King Harsha."
Tang Ping did not expect that the other party was actually the sister of King Harsha and the only descendant of the Harsha dynasty.
"What are the conditions?" Tang Ping asked directly.
He didn't believe that this Princess Raja Sri, um, maybe she should be called Princess Raja Sri, came to help them out of kindness.
Raja Sri also understood instantly: "I want your identity."
"Our identity?"
"Yes, the identity of the Raksha Bandits!" Raja Sri looked at Tang Ping with burning eyes: "What you taught Mohandas Karamchand has inspired me a lot. I want to Your identity includes your black armor and sword."
"Of course, you can give these to me when you leave Tianzhu after I help you rescue the person you are looking for."
Tang Ping thought for a long time before he remembered that Mohandas Karamchand, whose name was awkward to pronounce, was the fake leader of the Raksha Bandits. He did teach him some things about the Chinese War of Resistance. He did not expect this. Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka also took a fancy to it.
Recently I heard that Fan's family area is going to be turned into an old revolutionary zone by the "Raksha Bandits", and many people have defected to them for the dream of conquering the local tyrants and dividing their land.
It seems that Raja Sri intends to do the same to restore the Harsha Dynasty, and she can obtain the identity of Tang Ping and his Raksha Bandits, which undoubtedly means that they belong to the orthodox in name, and it is also for the purpose of fighting with the fake bandits in the future. Get ready to fight for power.
However, these have nothing to do with Tang Ping. This cooperation will not harm the interests of Datang, and it can also allow them to escape safely now, so he raised his right palm and high-fived the other party: "Deal."
Knowing that there were people from Raja Sri in the village, Tang Ping also relaxed a little. When the group arrived at the entrance of the village, several people had already come out to greet them.
But there was actually someone Tang Ping was familiar with inside.
"Hahaha, Tang Ping, I didn't expect that one day you would actually need me to save you."
"You kid, you've been causing trouble for thousands of years, so it's really not that easy to die."
The visitor turned out to be Zhen Yougan, whom Tang Ping met when he went to Nanyang!
At that time, Zhen Xiong was chased by the Tang Dynasty navy led by Tang Ping. His men suddenly rebelled and joined Sri Lanka.
Because Zhen Xiong was killed, the Tang Dynasty hoped to stabilize the situation in Nanyang and did not intend to antagonize Sri Lanka, so it did not completely annihilate Zhen Xiong's Wei navy.
In the final battle, Zhen Youqian's whereabouts became a mystery. Some said he died in the rebellion, and some said he escaped, but no one had any proof.
I didn't expect to meet him in Tianzhu today.
"Why are you in Tianzhu? And are you sure you are here to save me and not to kill me?"
Although the two had a friendship when they were living on a deserted island, after all, the Wei navy was almost destroyed at the hands of the Tang navy.
Even though Zhen Xiong's death was not directly related to Tang Ping, it was still related to him.
"Hmph, I want you to die, so why take the risk of showing up here?" Zhen Youqian pursed his lips in disdain: "Whether your Tang Dynasty is fighting against our Dongyue or our Wei Dynasty, if you win, it's because our skills are inferior to others. But my father's death was firstly because of the rebellion of his men. My father treated them well back then, but I didn't expect that they didn't want to repay me in times of crisis, and actually plotted to murder my father and surrender to Srivijaya."
"Also, Sri Lankan was our ally in the Wei Dynasty, but he stabbed him in the back several times. So when it comes to revenge, you Tang Ping can't even be ranked."
Speaking of this, Zhen Yougan paused: "And the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now that Srivijaya has taken over my Wei Dynasty navy, he has been planning in the South China Sea. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. By then, I am afraid that you, Tang Dynasty and Srivijaya It's not that easy to live in peace and quiet. If you're going to die, it won't be that easy for the Tang Dynasty to cause trouble to Srivijaya."
"Hmph!" Tang Ping also sneered: "It's not that easy to want me to die, but I still thank you today."
Zhen Yougan hadn't seen him for a while, and he was obviously much more mature than the playboy in the past. Tang Ping believed some of his words. It was true that he wanted to seek revenge on the people who betrayed the Zhen family and Srivijaya. As for the rest, Just listen.
"As for why I am in Tianzhu..." Zhen Yougan waved his hand, and Raja Sri actually ran over and took his hand.
Zhen Yougan said with a smile on his face: "That day, I took the few remaining ships all the way to the west and escaped here to become a pirate. By chance, I met Raja Sri. They were all people who had subjugated their country. Of course we have to support each other.”
Tang Ping didn't expect that the two of them had such a relationship, and was stunned for a moment.
Raja Sri smiled sweetly: "Actually, at General Sushma's place, we recognized Mr. Tang as the legendary figure mentioned by Yugan, so I chose to follow you to Zhongtianzhu."
"It's rare to see you being driven out like bereaved dogs, and I feel a lot more relieved." Zhen You smiled dryly and said, "Let's rest for a while. Our people will pretend to be you and lure away the pursuers behind you."
Following his order, hundreds of people ran out of the village in three directions. They were all dressed in black. From a distance, it was difficult to tell whether they were Tang Ping or the others.
Tang Ping and the others had been chased for so many days. No matter how smart the Mittal family was, they would never have thought that several fake Raksha Bandits would appear in their family territory at the same time.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could take a short rest and wait for the pursuers to be taken to another direction before setting off southward.
Everyone dismounted to eat and rest, and Zhen Youqian also came closer.
"Look, brother saved so many of you today, why don't you thank me?"
"How do you want me to thank you?"
"What kind of Feitian wine do you have? I haven't drank it for a long time. Give me a hundred and eighty bottles and drink it slowly!"
"What are you thinking about? Mr. Zhen, we are running for our lives. Who is carrying a hundred and eighty bottles of wine with him?" After speaking, he said to Lao Cui: "Give him what you have hidden first, and I will pay it back to you later. ."
Lao Cui reluctantly took out a stainless steel wine bottle from his arms, took a look at it and threw it to Zhen Youqian.
Zhen Yougan shook his head in disgust, and then said dissatisfied: "That's it? Where are you sending the beggars?"
"Do you want it? Don't give it back to me!" Lao Cui stretched out his hand, and Zhen Youqian quickly retracted his hand, then opened the lid and took a sip.
"Ah, this wine is still delicious." As soon as the words came out, it seemed that he was thinking of the past days, and his eyes actually turned a little red.
"How are you doing here?" Tang Ping asked.
"It's not bad!" Zhen You wiped his mouth dryly: "My family used to have some uncles who came with me, and now they make money as pirates at sea."
After speaking, he grinned: "Otherwise, do you think Sushma, the commander of a small seaport garrison, can get you hundreds of high-quality war horses in one go?"
"As for me, I basically stay in Zhongtianzhu. On the one hand, I do some business to make money, and on the other hand, I help Raja Sri find some old ministers of King Harsha."
As he spoke, he laughed at himself: "I don't know why, but now I feel dizzy and nauseous when I get on the boat, so I'm afraid I'll have to stay on this land in the future."
"What about you? Why didn't you become your Duke Ping in Chang'an who was just waiting to die? Instead, you came to Tianzhu, which is now a mess?"
The two of them were on an isolated island. Zhen Youqian heard Tang Ping say that his favorite thing in this life was to lie down and wait to die.
"I can't help myself. Now the Tang Dynasty has unified the Central Plains. Both Tubo in the southwest and Beiyan in the northeast are already the territory of the Tang Dynasty." Tang Ping briefly explained the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, and in his heart Don't treat Zhen Youqian as a foreigner, just treat him as a person from the free shipping area.
Besides, this is not a court secret, but it has not reached Tianzhu for a short time. In the future, the Nanyang Sea Route will continue to be developed and will eventually reach Tianzhu. There is nothing to hide these things.
"As for coming to Tianzhu, the reason for coming to Tianzang is because the customs clearance document brought by Master Tripitaka was written by His Majesty. If Tianzhu still detains people like this, then the Tang Dynasty will lose its face. We are here to show our attitude."
This is actually the same as what later generations said if you hold a Chinese passport, China will try its best to take you back from all over the world.
