Fortunately, Tang Ping's horses were all excellent horses, and the carriage was only a little slower than those of the cavalry.
With Xue Rengui shooting one or two cavalrymen on the opposite side without warning, everyone could basically maintain the same speed for the time being.
But after a long time, it still didn't work. Under Tang Ping's guidance, Lao Cui and the others gradually turned to the south.
Originally we were heading towards Nara, but now we were heading towards the seaside in Wakayama Prefecture.
"There is a small canyon ahead. Li Bai put the explosives on the way there. It depends on whether you can run away or not!"
Tang Ping chose an escape route based on the surrounding terrain displayed by the drone.
Only one carriage could pass through that small canyon. Li Bai jumped off the carriage in front, piled the prepared explosives under two large rocks, lit the fuse, quickly caught up with the carriage and jumped back.
At this time, the cavalry were chasing very close. Just in front of the two big rocks, there were two loud bangs and the rocks collapsed.
The few cavalrymen at the front who couldn't escape were directly smashed into shape by the shattered gravel, and the people behind them were also turned upside down.
"Huh, I ran away temporarily!"
Tang Ping breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lao Cui and Lao Du to slow down. The four horses driving them were panting and foaming at the mouth. If they continued running, they would really run to death.
"But the enemy knows our whereabouts. It won't be so easy to return to Nara!"
Tang Ping leaned against the car wall and said something, and then looked at Shanbei's eldest brother Wang who was stunned and asked: "What's wrong? Isn't our Prince Shanbei the man who is going to be the protagonist? Are you scared to death?"
"What did you call him just now?" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang pointed at Li Bai and asked.
Only then did Tang Ping remember that he had called Li Bai's name in a hurry.
"Well...it's reasonable for a person to call the wrong person by the wrong name in a hurry, right?"
But this time Shanbei Brother Wang was not fooled. He looked at Tang Ping and asked: "I have always been curious about your true identity. What kind of Tang Ping businessman can have such ability."
"I remember that the apprentice of Duke Ping of the Tang Dynasty was named Li Bai, and he was similar in age to him, and his talent and learning were the best in the Tang Dynasty. It can't be such a coincidence that there is also a young man with the same name and surname, Li Bai, who is an unparalleled poet, right?"
"Uh..." Tang Ping scratched his face with his index finger and said, "If I said it was such a coincidence, would you believe it?"
Seeing the disbelief on Shanbei's brother Wang's face, Tang Ping said helplessly: "Well, he is the Li Bai you think of. I am his master. You should also have heard of me. I am Tang Ping, Duke of Tang Ping. "
"You are the Duke of Tang Ping, Tang Ping!" Now it was Shanbei's turn to be surprised. Although he had thought that Tang Ping's true identity was not simple, he never expected that he was Tang Ping, the Duke of Tang Ping, who was known as the future of the Tang Dynasty. .
There are countless legends about Tang Ping in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that they were spread to Fusang after artistic processing.
Everyone in Fusang strives to learn Tang dialect, so how could they not know Tang Ping?
Now Tang Ping's status in Fusang is basically comparable to Zhuge Liang in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Yes, I am Tang Ping. He can be Li Bai, why can't I be Tang Ping?" Tang Ping shrugged. Is it difficult to understand that he is himself?
"But... Duke Pingguo of the Tang Dynasty is said to be upright, talented, open-minded, open-minded, aboveboard, charitable, and also handsome and heroic..."
Tang Ping was very satisfied with the adjectives of Shanbei Brother Wang at first, but as he listened and saw the look of collapse of faith on his face, he became very angry.
"What? Are you saying that I am not upright? I am not talented?"
The eldest brother Shanbei didn't speak, but his eyes betrayed him, that's what he meant.
"Old Cui, leave it to this guy." Tang Ping said angrily: "I traveled thousands of miles for you, and you see I almost risked my life just now."
When Shanbei's eldest brother Wang saw Lao Cui really coming, he hurriedly said: "Open-minded and magnanimous, Duke Ping, you are open-minded and magnanimous!"
Of course, Tang Ping couldn't really leave him behind: "Now you know my true identity, how about it?"
"How about what?" Shanbei's elder brother Wang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although you lied to me about many things, I think you are sincere in helping me."
"Don't say it's so disgusting!" Tang Ping kicked him: "Our way back is probably blocked now. If the people who want to kill you can dispatch such sophisticated cavalry, I'm afraid there will be no end to the pursuit behind you. ."
"Then what should we do?" After knowing that the person in front of him was Tang Ping, the legendary Duke of Ping of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest brother Shanbei suddenly felt like he was not worried at all.
It seemed that with Tang Ping around, he could do anything.
"What else can we do? Of course we should go back to Nara, but if we can't get there by land, then let's go by sea!"
Tang Ping pointed to the distance and said: "Let's start from Wakaura and go ashore in Osaka. They can't find our whereabouts. Then we can sneak into the vicinity of Nara and connect with Monobeji."
The most trustworthy person now is the Mononobe clan, because if the eldest brother King Yamabero cannot ascend to power with their support, there is no telling how far their family will be suppressed by the Soga clan.
They continued walking for a while, and Tang Ping found a village to ask for a drink of water, and then used the teleportation function to reach the Royal One that sent them to Fuso.
The Royal No. 1 had been parked near Fuso, and after getting instructions from Tang Ping, it quickly rushed to Wakaura.
So when King Yamabeka, who spent a day coming to the coast of Wakaura, saw a strange large ship without sails docked on the shore.
"You're lucky, you're the first foreigner to board the Royal One."
Tang Ping led Shanbei's elder brother Wang onto the boat. Shanbei asked enviously: "Is this entire boat made of steel?"
He had heard the story of the naval battle between Tang Ping's East China Sea Fleet and the Wei Navy. He knew that Tang Ping had warships made of steel, but this was the first time he actually saw them.
"Yes, this ship is made entirely of steel, but it is not a warship. Datang also has several steel warships. They will pick me up when I leave and let you see them then."
Prince Shanbei touched the steel railings and thought about the fact that many people in Fuso might have an iron hoe and a kitchen knife as the only iron tools in their homes.
"The Tang Dynasty is really powerful!"
"Yes, Datang is very powerful!" Tang Ping patted him on the shoulder: "So if they are friends, Datang will be willing to help them, but if someone has any wrong ideas, Datang will also let them know what regret is. ."
