Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng led a delegation of 500 people from the Tang Dynasty to the retreat. They watched the falcon fly away and ran all the way until they were thirty miles outside the east city before slowly slowing down.
"Xuan Ce, you are here, I will go!"
Ji Xiancheng looked at the mountains in front of him and frowned. I looked up at the tamed falcon that kept chirping on the top of the mountain, and suddenly I had a bad feeling!
"We want to go together, why don't you go alone?"
Wang Xuance refused even if he didn't want to. Now he is a fool and understands that this is simply a trap set for them. Maybe even Songtsen Gampo was involved in the conspiracy.
"fart!"
Ji Song Xiancheng grabbed Wang Xuance's collar and said angrily: "You are now an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and you have the emperor's mandate. Even if everyone here is dead, nothing can happen to you."
After saying this, Wang Xuance didn't look at the unwilling one. He waved his hand and said loudly: "Leave half of the people, and the others will dismount and follow me into the mountain!"
"promise!"
The soldiers shouted loudly.
"It comes first!"
Mr. Ji looked back and saw Wang Xuance hesitated to speak, but in the end he only remained firm and said loudly: "Take care!"
"Hey, Luosuo, the person who can kill me hasn't been born yet!"
After saying that, he headed towards the mountains without looking back.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Xuance suddenly heard the rumble of horse hooves behind him. It sounded like there were many people there!
"Uu~!"
Songtsen Gampo led thousands of Tibetan warriors to stop in front of the Tang Dynasty mission, and came to Wang Xuance despite everyone's obstruction. Besides him, there was an old man who looked at Wang Xuance and just nodded.
This person is none other than Ludongzan who was imprisoned in the dungeon by Songtsen Gampo!
"Why are you here?"
Wang Xuance said expressionlessly.
Although this incident seemed to have nothing to do with Songtsen Gampo, this was Tubo, and such a thing happened under his rule. How could he give Songtsen Gampo a good look?
Songtsen Gampo's face was ugly, and he looked at the forest where no one could be seen, and said in a deep voice: "This thing should be done by the Bon religion. I just thought of it after the teacher reminded me... ..”
"Bon religion?"
"hehe!"
The coldness in Wang Xuance's ferocious face made even a man like Songtsen Gampo, who was used to seeing life and death, feel uncomfortable!
"How brave are you? Do you really think that I can't do anything to them on the plateau? If something happens to Xian Cheng..."
He glanced at Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongtsen, and said sadly: "Even if I, King Xuance, go to hell, I still want this plateau to be uninhabited!"
Looking at Wang Xuance who was on the verge of madness, Lu Dongzan turned pale and asked with trembling fingers: "You...what do you want to do?"
Wang Xuance chuckled and did not look at him. Instead, he looked in the direction of Chang'an and said, "You don't have to do anything. Sometimes, you don't have to do the killing yourself."
"For example..."
"smallpox.........."
"Wang Xuance, how dare you!"
Lu Dongzan could no longer maintain his composure, grabbed Wang Xuance by the collar, and roared: "What do you want to do? If you dare to put that thing into Tubo, I will not let you go even if I die."
"Emperor Tang, where will you put Emperor Tang by doing this? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Wang Xuance opened Lu Dongzan's hand finger by finger. He sneered: "Death?"
"Whoever dares to take my brother's life will be buried with his whole family!"
Lu Dongzan was dumbfounded. Was this man a lunatic? God, what did Ji Song teach these bastards?
"Teacher, what on earth is going on?"
Songtsen Gampo felt something was wrong, although he didn't know what they were talking about. But it can be learned from the conversation that Wang Xuance or the people behind him have something that can seriously damage Gaoyuan's vitality!
Ludongzan glanced at Songtsen Gampo and said in a hoarse voice: "Smallpox is a disease that will inevitably lead to death.
No, perhaps a plague is more appropriate! "
"plague?"
Songtsen Gampo exclaimed, drew out his sword, placed it on Wang Xuance's neck, and roared: "How dare you!"
"Do you believe I will kill you now?"
But what shocked him was that not only did Wang Xuance not feel timid at all, he even looked at him with encouraging eyes, as if to say, kill me, kill me now.
"Madman, you are a madman!"
Wang Xuance chuckled and said miserably: "Madman? Just think of me as a madman!"
"But there are millions of people from Tubo buried with me. I guess I won't be lonely under the Nine Springs, right?"
After saying that, he ignored everyone and stood on the ground with his eyes closed, his hands on the knife, motionless!
Lu Dongzan's face kept changing. Suddenly, he snatched Songtsan Gampo's sword, and with his shocked eyes, he rushed towards the forest with his followers.
"Teacher, teacher!"
Lu Dongzan looked at the students who kept shouting behind him and said helplessly: "Zanpu, I can't take any risks, not at all!"
Then he looked at Wang Xuance fiercely and said in a voice unique to Jiuyou: "Zanpu, if I can't bring Ji Xiancheng back, you..."
Pointing at Wang Xuance and the others, he said, "Kill him at all costs!"
After saying that, he plunged into the forest without looking back.
Wang Xuance glanced at Lu Dongzan's back, a little surprised, but he didn't care much!
"You'd better pray that the teacher comes back, otherwise......"
Songtsen Gampo regretted it. He should have killed this man at all costs the first time he saw him. Even if it means completely turning against the Tang Dynasty, he will not hesitate!
Wang Xuance ignored Songtsen Gampo and just looked at the mountains and forests blankly......
Ji Xiancheng and more than 200 people hiked up the mountain. This mountain is very large, and it is not an independent mountain, but surrounded by many mountains, and there is snow on the top of the mountain.
唳~
He heard a neighing sound and looked around quickly, only to see the falcon circling over a valley.
"Quick, over there!"
Seeing the tame falcon like this, he immediately understood what was going on. If nothing else, the other falcon is right there.
In fact, if it were just a falcon, he wouldn't be in such danger. But he had to do this. There was no bamboo tube around the neck of the tamed eagle just now, which meant that the letter was either lost or obtained by someone else.
And another falcon is their only chance!
Once they can't find another falcon, everything they have done before will be in vain!
Moreover, once the enemy knows the contents of the letter, they will be extremely passive, and a slight mistake will cause an all-out war between the two countries. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty's plan against Tubo must be contained in the letters. Even plans were made.
If Songtsen Gampo or other Tibetan forces knew about this, what would happen?
So, no matter what, he had to find the letter, otherwise how could they have the face to return to Chang'an?
Soon, the group of them arrived at the entrance of the valley.
This is a gourd-shaped valley with a small entrance that only allows two people to enter at the same time, but it is very large inside.
Is this the tomb they designed for themselves?
Continue to Xiancheng and smile bitterly. If they follow what the teacher has given them, they should do whatever it takes to make themselves safe before talking about anything else.
But he couldn't do it. He didn't want to become a sinner of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't want to live in regret for the rest of his life. Even though he was stupid, he still came without hesitation.
"You stay back first, let's go in and investigate first!"
Ji Xiancheng, a soldier from the Ji clan who followed them, said behind him.
"No need, they are looking for me and Xuance, you will definitely die if you go in."
After saying that, regardless of whether they wanted it or not, he waved his hand and said, "If you keep waiting here, I really want to see who it is.
Dare to stir up trouble on the Tang Dynasty, you simply don’t know whether to live or die! "
He stopped the clan soldier who wanted to say something and said, "This is an order!"
Although the clan soldiers were unwilling, they could only accept the order. This is the rule of the clan, even if it has some flaws, it is the fundamental reason why they don't lose control.
They were not dead soldiers. In order to prevent the powerful clan soldiers from losing control, the Ji family set extremely strict military orders. You must obey orders absolutely at all times, otherwise even if you have made great achievements, you will be kicked out of the clan army when you return home.
In Ji's view, clan soldiers who disobey orders are disobedient, and the last thing a clan soldier needs is disobedience. No matter how capable a person like this is, he won't be able to use it.
Ji Xiancheng picked up a horizontal knife and then said: "You guys wait here, no one is allowed to enter without my order!"
"promise!"
He took a deep breath, glanced at the entrance that seemed to choose people to eat, and walked forward.
At this time, in the middle of the valley, a falcon tightly wrapped in a net was surrounded by a group of people.
If I hadn't seen the falcon's slightly undulating body, I would have thought he was dead!
"Witch, we can only control this beast for two hours. It's almost time now. Look..."
A strong man wearing simple animal skin clothes said to an old man who was thin but with sharp eyes.
His tone was respectful, as if he had great respect for the person in front of him.
This old man is also wearing animal skin, but there are pictures of six mountain peaks on the animal skin. If Princess Niboluo were here, she must know this person. It was the master who taught her the Dharma in Niboluo.
The old man shook his head slightly, looked in the direction of the valley, and said in an ancient but still charming tone: "Wait, if you don't come, kill!"
The strong man and others around him looked stern and did not dare to raise their heads, but they just held the knife in their hands tighter.
Just after some time passed slowly, someone suddenly ran over.
The visitor looked at the strong man, then knelt down at the feet of the "witch" and said respectfully: "The Tang envoy is here, just outside the valley!"
"welcome!"
"Witch" seems to have deteriorated in language, always cherishing words like gold!
"Get ready to welcome Tang Envoy!"
Oh, I saw everyone taking off their animal skins, led by a strong man, and actually danced!
As the unknown musical instrument made a tinkling sound, coupled with the special tones that kept appearing in the "Witch"'s mouth, there was a holy and calming effect for a moment. Even with a little strength, the falcon who wanted to struggle could not No more struggling.
The tame falcon that was constantly neighing and circling in the sky no longer screamed, but looked at the people on the ground with eyes fascinated, and its body kept falling, as if something was attracting it.
"Buzz~"
Suddenly, when the falcon's strength was less than ten feet away, a sharp yet deep tone sounded. The tamed falcon, which was about to land, suddenly cried out and flew rapidly into the distance.
Even the tamed falcon on the ground began to struggle.
"Card!"
The jade stone in the "Witch"'s hand rubbed and made an unpleasant sound, causing the originally harmonious dance to instantly lose its charm that fascinated all living things.
Looking towards the entrance of the valley, a tall figure appeared there.
The visitor was none other than Ji Xiancheng, who entered the valley alone.
The moment he entered the valley, he heard the sound that almost made him addicted. But after ten years of training at sea, he has already become determined, otherwise he would not have been able to lead thousands of people to stay in the wilderness for ten years.
Being suddenly interrupted, the strong man seemed very angry. Just when he was about to pull out his sword, he was stopped by the "Witch" with a look.
Looking at the strong man who bowed and retreated, the "Witch" rarely showed a smile. But this smile seemed very permeable to Ji Xiancheng.
"Old guy, if you don't know how to laugh, don't laugh. Didn't anyone tell you that your smile is so charming?"
Ji Xiancheng said with a look of disgust.
The "Witch" was stunned for a moment, then stopped him and wanted to kill him.
He caught the strong man in front of him who spoke arrogantly.
"He...guest!"
The strong man was stunned for a moment, and finally backed away slowly.
Seeing the strong man retreating, the "Witch" seemed very satisfied. He looked at Ji Xiancheng and said, "I'll wait for you... for a long time..."
Ji Xiancheng was full of doubts at this time. He thought that he would encounter a fight or be captured as soon as he came in. Even prepared to be shot into a hedgehog.
But the scene in front of him made him a little confused. It was like when he was preparing to face the enemy's fierce attack alone, when the two armies handed over, he found that it was not what he thought at all.
The table, food, and wine were set up to welcome me with joy.
This is so fucking outrageous.
"we."
Ji Xiancheng pointed at the old man in front of him, and then at himself.
"know?"
The "Witch" shook his head and said in a unique tone: "Come...you...guest!"
Then he pointed to the people behind him and said, "Welcome... you!"
After Ji Xiancheng was sure that the other party was not joking with him, he suddenly relaxed, put away the horizontal knife, and came to the patrolling eagle. When he saw two bamboo tubes, one on his neck and the other was pressed by the patrolling eagle, he suddenly became a little surprised. Do not understand.
"Let it go!"
Ji Xiancheng said directly without any nonsense.
But what surprised him was that the "Witch" waved his hand, and the strong man stepped forward to untie the snare with some reluctance. The released tame eagle cried loudly several times, and after making out with Ji Xiancheng, it spread its wings and flew. He kept chirping with another tamed falcon in the sky, as if he was having a conversation.
"Why?"
He finally figured it out. The old man in front of him had a high status, but it seemed that he had not spoken for a long time, which caused the degradation of his speech function. Then when he spoke, he jumped out word by word. A lot of the time you have to guess.
"meet you!"
As if he felt that what he said was not clear enough, he added: "We...have no...malice!"
But seeing the confusion in Ji Song's eyes, he suddenly fell silent and glanced at the strong man behind him.
The strong man immediately stood up and said in broken Chinese: "The witch wants to discuss something with you, but Songtsen Gampo will definitely not agree, so he can only..."
After looking at the snare on the ground, the meaning is self-evident!
Ji Xiancheng suddenly fell silent when he heard this. Looking at the "Witch" who was wearing animal skin, but could not hide his unique temperament at all, he seemed to understand something.
"What do you want?"
Ji Xiancheng raised his head and looked at the expectant "Witch" with bright eyes.
