With the help of Zhen Yougan and Raja Sri, Tang Ping and the others quickly got rid of the pursuers behind them, and then headed south to the border of the Mittal family.
"From here on, you will reveal your identity as the Tang Dynasty envoy, right?"
"That's right!" Tang Ping nodded. Now he knew that the person who detained Tang Sanzang was Alona Shun's son Yelona.
The other party also asked Datang to pay a ransom, so they had to enter Zhongtianzhu as envoys of Datang to be justified.
"That guy Jeroena is not a simple man. He is greedy for money, lustful, cruel and moody."
"Greedy and lustful? Why is it the same as the adjective I gave you back then?"
"Get out!" Zhen Yougan said angrily: "Don't get blocked again by then!"
"Isn't it that you came to save me when I was blocked?" Tang Ping asked half-jokingly with a smile: "You really don't consider my proposal?"
Zhen Yougan said helplessly: "If the person were mine, I would really agree to your proposal, but these people were basically loyal to King Harsha in the past, and now they only listen to Raja Sri."
Tang Ping once proposed that Zhen Yougan hand over all their subordinates in Zhongtianzhu to Wang Xuance. He believed that he would have his own technological support and the two hundred Tang Dynasty warriors he brought as sharp knives.
It shouldn't be difficult for Wang Xuance to destroy Zhongtianzhu again.
After all, in history, he just went to Tibet and Niger to borrow thousands of soldiers and horses, and then they destroyed them.
It's a pity that even though Ragya Sri has been following Tang Ping and the others for so long, he still doesn't believe that anyone can overthrow Aronashun, who has an army of nearly 100,000, with only a few thousand soldiers and horses.
This was the last strength left to her by her brother. If these people were gone, then she would really have nothing.
"Okay, anyway, as I said, come to us at any time after you think about it."
Now that Tubo is gone, Wang Xuance will not be able to borrow troops. Tang Ping is a little regretful that the story of one person destroying a country will not appear in the history books in the future.
After handing over the agreed-upon flags and masks of the Rakshasa Bandits and other identity-representing things to Raja Sri, Tang Ping and the others put on the costumes of the Tang Dynasty, played the national flag of the Tang Dynasty, and stepped into the A Luo Nashun's Zhongtianzhu.
Not far away, a group of cavalry appeared in front of Tang Ping and the others.
"Who is coming?"
Tang Ping and the others looked like they were not from Tianzhu at first glance. They also had clear flags and uniform clothes and armor. They probably couldn't be ordinary caravans, so they asked this question.
"We are the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and we are here to meet your king Aluonashun and prince Yelona."
"Envoy of the Tang Dynasty?" the cavalry captain muttered. He really had never heard of it.
But looking at the other party, it didn’t look like he was fake. What’s more, the other party also said that he was here to meet the king and prince, so he said politely:
"Since you are here to meet the king and His Highness the Prince, then come with us. His Highness the Prince is leading a hunt and they are nearby."
As he said this, he looked at the swords Tang Ping and the others were wearing: "I hope you won't do anything that exceeds the rules."
He was not afraid that these people were here to assassinate him. There were only two hundred people, which was not enough for the palace guards to fill their teeth.
Tang Ping didn't expect that he was so lucky, and actually Jerona was nearby. He raised his hands and said, "General, don't worry, we know the rules. Please lead the way and let us meet Prince Jerona."
It was Yerona who did Tang Sanzang's imprisonment. If we could deal with him and let him go, it would save a lot of trouble.
Tang Ping and his party followed them to the front of a large camp. The cavalry leader talked to the gatekeeper, and then someone went in to report.
I thought I would see someone right away, but I didn't expect that after half an hour there was no news.
"Sir, there are only seven or eight hundred people in this camp. How about we rush in and tie up that guy named Na? Then we won't be able to do whatever we want him to do, or do what we want him to do?"
Lao Cui's idea made Tang Ping glance at him: "We are the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, not the bandits of the Tang Dynasty!"
Lao Cui blushed a little after hearing this, and was about to apologize for not thinking well when he heard Tang Ping say:
"Even if we are going to take action, for the sake of a good reputation, we should be polite first and then attack, right? And how many people will it take to find the real master if we rush in directly from outside the camp? But if he invites us in later, what if we talk? If we don’t get close, it’s not too late for us to take action, and others will be able to capture it by then.”
Lao Cui chuckled after hearing this: "If I want to say black, it has to be you, Young Master."
But waiting under such a bright sun was not an option. Tang Ping winked at Wang Xuance, who nodded and walked to the gate of the camp.
When the guard at the camp was scolding him, he put a few large coins into his hand without leaving any trace.
The guard felt his hand heavy, and he knew what it was just by touching it. He swallowed the words he was about to scold, and asked with a smile on his face: "Do you need help, sir? But I'm thirsty." Do you want some water?"
Wang Xuance chuckled: "Nothing, I just want to know why His Highness hasn't summoned us for so long?"
The guard looked a little embarrassed, but before he could speak, he felt his hand heavy again, and Wang Xuance's voice came to his ears: "It's okay, I understand the rules. If this brother has something inconvenient to say, it's okay. "
The guard didn't expect to get such an unexpected fortune today, and his face burst into laughter: "Actually, it's normal. His Highness the Prince was having some fun just now. I'm afraid the person who went in to report didn't even see His Highness."
"You didn't just...hehe, so the person who reported it didn't take it seriously."
Wang Xuance understood immediately, and he also chuckled: "I wonder if brother can help me and ask someone to report it?"
As he spoke, he stuffed a few more large silver coins in his hand: "The weather is so hot, please invite brothers to drink tea to relieve the heat."
After receiving so many benefits, the guard naturally would not refuse and said with a smile: "I am just a gatekeeper, but my brother is responsible for passing on the news. I will ask him to come here again."
He shouted twice, and a Tianzhu soldier came over. Wang Xuance naturally had to do some planning again, and the other party left happily. This time, less than ten minutes later, news came from inside that Tang Ping could bring two people in.
Tang Ping gave some instructions to Lao Cui Xianglong and the others, and then went in with Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui.
Wang Xuance's force value is not low, and Xue Rengui is even higher.
What's more, the sniper rifle in his hand is fast from a hundred paces, and accurate and fast within a hundred paces.
Following the people to the outside of a camp, they saw a man covered in blood being carried out.
The three of them looked at each other, and they didn't know whether they happened to meet each other or if they were being intimidated by the other party.
If the other party thought that such a small scene could scare the three of them, it would be a bit too disrespectful.
After entering, I saw a young man from Tianzhu sitting casually at the top. I guess it was the current prince of Zhongtianzhu, Yelona.
Jerona's nostrils turned upward and he said a little arrogantly: "You just want to see me?"
"Exactly!" Tang Ping saluted according to the local rules, and then said: "A few years ago in our Tang Dynasty, a monk Tang Sanzang came to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures. He did not return for many years. Later, a young monk said that he was his disciple and said that Master Sanzang He was detained by the prince in Tianzhu, and we, the Tang Dynasty, need to use thousands of gold to redeem him."
"Tang Sanzang?" Jerona frowned and thought for a moment, then asked the people around him: "Is this happening?"
An attendant beside him nodded and said: "It is indeed true. At that time, His Royal Highness the Prince..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jerona: "Did you bring any money?"
Tang Ping was stunned. This guy had even forgotten that it took Tang Sanzang's young apprentice so much time to return to Chang'an. Plus he rushed here, he didn't even know if Tang Sanzang was safe now.
The other person actually asked for money directly?
"Your Highness, I wonder if Master Tripitaka of our country is still well?"
Jeroena said nonchalantly: "I don't know if it's safe or not. Anyway, you use money to ransom people. If the person is alive, you take them away. If the person is dead, I will have someone dig up his grave and you take away the body." "
Tang Ping was a little annoyed by Yelona's attitude and laughed, holding back his anger and asked: "I don't know why the prince wants to detain our monk Tripitaka? And why does he need such a high ransom?"
After being reminded by the attendant, Yelona also remembered who Tang Sanzang was.
"He secretly studied our country's Buddhist scriptures and tried to take them away, which is naturally a heinous crime. Our country's Buddhist scriptures are so precious, but he can learn them whenever he wants and take them away whenever he wants?"
"But as far as we know, Tripitaka was allowed to study Buddhism in Nalanda Temple, and more than a hundred years ago, King Kumarajupta of the Gupta Dynasty spared no effort to protect Buddhism and established Nalanda for the inheritance of Buddhism. The purpose of Tuo Temple is to spread Buddhism widely."
Before Wang Xuance could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hierro's bang on the table.
"What's wrong? If you say that, then I can't arrest Tang Sanzang? Do you think I'm blackmailing you?"
Is this going to break your skin? Tang Ping and Wang Xuance looked at each other, but to their surprise, Yelona continued: "That's right, I just want to blackmail you. Either take the money and take the person away, or get out."
"Prince Yelona, we came to Tianzhu with the greatest goodwill, but if you don't accept our goodwill, then we can only..."
Wang Xuance said neither humble nor arrogantly, just like Tang Ping said, if you can't reach an agreement, you will take action. Are you really afraid of him?
This Yelona is Aronashun's favorite son. If we trade him for an insignificant Tang Sanzang, can't we get him back?
However, before Wang Xuance finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jerona.
"It's not impossible!"
Tang Ping and Wang Xuance didn't expect that they were about to start a fight after saying harsh words, but the other party actually gave in?
"What conditions does the prince have? You can tell me."
Yerona looked at Wang Xuance hard: "I just realized that you are quite interesting. If you are willing to stay with me, I can consider letting that monk go!"
Tang Ping felt like everyone was in tears after hearing this. Zhen Yougan only said that Yerona was greedy for money and lustful, but didn't say what kind of lustful thing he was good at!
