Leng Siniang lightly frowned, "Forget it... I don't understand even if my husband told me..." Leng Siniang felt confused and simply stopped thinking about it. Suddenly she felt a very dishonest hand. Her waist and calves were wandering, and there was even a vague tendency to move upward. Leng Siniang glared at Lan Yuheng fiercely, "Don't be so rude!"

"Ahem... My husband just wanted to see if you have lost weight. After all, you are exhausted from running around for so many days..." Lan Yuheng said with a serious look, and Leng Siniang was speechless...

Inside the castle

"Zan Pu has sent out many spies, but no one has responded yet... Is it possible?" There has been no news from the spies these days, and even Qin Ling has not returned, which makes Song Puyi suspicious.

The King of Tubo's brows were full of sorrow. "It must have been stopped by Lan Yuheng." Songpuyi shook his head and said, "Zanpu, I think this matter is unusual. If Lan Yuheng knew that we were sending a message, he would definitely intercept it. Once What will happen if he finds out that we cooperate inside and outside?"

The King of Tubo did not speak. The answer was obvious. If Lan Yuheng found out that they were deliberately stalling for time, they would have attacked the city long ago. How could they wait for Lun Qinling to come and arrest him? So the result...

Songpuyi bowed and said seriously, "Zanpu! The time Lan Yuheng gave us is already the last day. After so long, Lun Qinling has not responded. Is this normal? These leaders have become impetuous, and the people in the city have become impetuous." The food and grass supply has been less than half a month...I even suspect that Qin Ling did it on purpose! He must have counter-intentions in his heart!"

"Hey..." The King of Tubo sighed, "The current situation is that after today, Lan Yuheng will attack the city tomorrow... What should we do?" Song Puyi hesitated, "How about... .Agree to his request?”

"Agree?" The King of Tubo looked very reluctant. "Uncle, this is one hundred thousand! A full hundred thousand! No way! How will the Tubo people live if we hand over one hundred thousand!" The King of Tubo waved his hand resolutely.

Songpuyi smiled bitterly, "The current situation in Zanpu is not a question of whether we agree or not. If we disagree...if Lan Yuheng comes in...the head of the Songtsan family will be gone, and all Damu's food and grass will be in Lan Yuheng." In his hand, he holds the lifeblood of the entire Tubo! As if you are willing to fight desperately, but are the leaders willing? They have now begun to spontaneously raise food and grass. Tubo can live without our Songtsan, but we cannot live without Tubo!"

The King of Tubo sat helplessly on the throne. He waved his hand, "Uncle, please go out and let me think about it..." Songpuyi saluted, "Zanpu, as the Songtsan family, we only protect the interests of the family." It's a guard. Without Songtsan, Tubo can have another royal family. Perhaps this is what Lun Qinling thinks. One hundred thousand cattle and sheep will be raised by the tribe. If nothing happens, I, Songpuyi, lowered his face and knelt in front of Lan Yuheng. Let Lan Yuheng Lowering the compensation is better than expelling the Songtsan family from Tibet, right? Please think twice..."

While the King of Tubo was struggling, Zan Yizhi was already on the sickbed and his breath was extremely weak.

The woman in front of the bed wiped her tears and praised Yi Zhi, who had been asking this question for many days, "Not yet... Today is already the deadline... After today, the Tang Dynasty will use troops..."

cough cough cough

After listening to his wife's words, Zan Yizhi coughed excitedly and sat up. The woman hurriedly supported Zan Yizhi, "What are you doing! Just lie down if you are not feeling well. You can't worry about these things now. Look at you now." What has happened! What benefits have wars and wars brought to you!"

Zan Yizhi patted his wife's arm and said, "Help me go see Zan Pu... Okay, now is not the time to talk about this." The woman finally couldn't resist Zan Yizhi, "I'll go and ask Zan Pu to see her..."

Zan Yizhi hurriedly waved his hand, "No way, help me go to see Zan Pu!" The woman could only sigh and help Zan Yizhi up, and hurried to the royal court with difficulty...

"Zanpu, the Prime Minister wants to see you." The guard came in and reported. The King of Tubo stood up hurriedly, "Please...!" Zan Yizhi came to the lobby tremblingly with the support of his wife. When the King of Tubo saw Zan Yizhi, he Seemingly feeling guilty, he hurriedly stood up and supported Zan Yizhi, "Prime Minister, you need to recuperate now. If anything happens, I'll be there."

"Zanpu is joking..." Zan Yizhi glanced at his wife beside him, "You go back first, I'll have a chat with Zanpu alone." He felt that his wife was worried, but she also knew the situation, so she had to give a few instructions. Got down

The King of Tubo also sent everyone away. "Prime Minister, if you have anything to say, just say it..." Zan Yizhi leaned on a stool and smiled and said, "Zan Pu has been worried these days... Regarding the Qinling Mausoleum being hacked. It would be difficult to retreat even if Ji Changzhi is restrained. Lan Yuheng is obviously trying to kill two birds with one stone. After all, Damu cannot transport food and grass, and Lun Qinling has to come back even if he doesn’t want to come back, right?”

The King of Tubo was silent and did not speak. Zan Yizhi continued, "Zan Pu, I know very well how Qinling treats Tubo. Black Teeth Changzhi's ability is no worse than Lan Yuheng, otherwise I wouldn't be like this. As a monarch, I should Have a tolerant heart, suspicion is a big taboo...Lan Yuheng does not intend to attack the city this time, I hope Zanpu will think twice..."

The King of Tubo let out a long sigh, "Prime Minister... what you said is indeed reasonable, but it shouldn't be difficult to get back from Qinling, right? There were so many messengers sent out, but it has been more than ten days, but there has been no response at all. , how do you want me to believe that?”

Zan Yizhi nodded, "Zan Pu's idea is indeed good. Lan Yuheng must be behind this. I hope Zan Pu won't be fooled. If Lun Qinling is unable to come to negotiate with Lan Yuheng tomorrow, he will immediately The idea is still the same, hold on to the city and wait for rescue from other tribes, and never compromise until the last moment!"

The King of Tubo rubbed his forehead, "Prime Minister... You said it is easy, but the current situation is that other tribal leaders have panicked, and they have already planned to raise money..."

Zan Yizhi nodded silently and said, "I can understand Zan Pu's theory of mood, cough cough cough... but a dog will jump over the wall when it's in a hurry. If you join forces with other tribal leaders, it's completely impossible for 8000 people to fight more than 1 people." The problem is, maybe it’s not that we can’t defeat it, but that they are afraid, and they are afraid when they see Lan Yuheng..."

The King of Tubo nodded and said, "The Prime Minister understands very well. After all, Lan Yuheng once defeated us Tubo with 1 people... Hey, it will be difficult to fight if the morale of the army is lost... These leaders may not agree. ..”

Zan Yizhi nodded, "I understand what Zan Pu means, but Zan Yizhi has something to ask of me... I hope Zan Pu agrees." The King of Tubo glanced at Zan Yizhi, "I know what the Prime Minister wants to say. Even if I believe in Lun Qinling, what about the others?" Zan Yizhi got up with difficulty and knelt in front of the Tubo King.

"Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?" The King of Tubo hurriedly helped Zan Yizhi up, but Zan Yizhi knelt down again and said, "Zanpu, Lun Qinling has done enough for Tubo. He is definitely not a rebellious person." Minister, I hope that Zanpu will not listen to the slander and keep Lun Qinling no matter what. Even if he is not entrusted with a heavy responsibility, he can still prepare for the problems he will face in the future. Only Lun Qinling in Tubo can make the Tang Dynasty fearful. He is Zanpu’s sharp sword is also Zanpu’s weapon to intimidate the tribe. I hope Zanpu can understand the intention of the discussion. The discussion is not to discuss Qinling, but to consider the issue from Zanpu’s perspective.”

The King of Tubo nodded and said, "Okay! This is Zampu's promise. Please get up quickly, the Prime Minister!" Only then was Zan Yizhi willing to stand up. Zan Yizhi smiled and said, "Zampu, the current situation is all yours, but the discussion I still think that if we wait a little longer, as long as we hold on to the city, Lun Qinling will definitely come!"

The King of Tubo nodded, "I only have plans for this matter. Prime Minister, please go down and have a rest. You don't have to worry about these things." Zan Yizhi seemed to sigh. He bowed and handed a copybook to the King of Tubo tremblingly. "This is Things... wait until Lun leaves to unpack them, Lun resigned..." But he fell down before taking a few steps, and the King of Tubo was startled: "Prime Minister! Call the doctor quickly!"

Zan Yizhi's wife also ran in eagerly. She shook Zan Yizhi and said, "Yizhi! Yi Zhi!" But Zan Yizhi didn't react at all. She stretched out her hand tremblingly to check Zan Yizhi's breath. I felt something cold all over my body, and I sat slumped on the ground. Finally I couldn't help but burst into tears, "Husband!"

When the King of Tubo saw Mrs. Zan Yizhi crying so sadly, he understood. He crouched down tremblingly, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister... Why are you doing this? You have done so much for Tubo... In the end, you It's for the sake of Tubo... Thank you for your hard work." He slowly stood up and looked at the letter in his hand. He finally understood. He glanced at the letter and his tone was a little sad. "The whole city expressed condolences to the prime minister, and white silk was hung on the top of the city. , all tribal leaders must participate!”

.............

As the white silk ribbon was hung up on the city wall, Lan Yuheng also received a report from the soldiers. He walked out of the camp and came not far from the city wall. "What is this King of Tubo doing? Why is the white silk silk hanging suddenly? Who died? Actually So grand?"

"Your Majesty, according to the officers' inquiry, he should be the Prime Minister of Tubo." Ye Ying explained. Lan Yuheng nodded, "It turns out to be Zan Yizhi... This person is actually a person worthy of admiration..."

creak

Suddenly the city gate opened, and Songpuyi came out in white clothes. Songtsan was also there. Songpuyi came to Lan Yuheng's tent and saluted, "Shuai Lan, our Prime Minister unfortunately passed away today. The King of Tubo wants to invite you." You enter the city"

Lan Yuheng's eyes narrowed, "What? You want me to express my condolences to your Prime Minister? Although I admire him, he is the Prime Minister of Tubo, not the Tang Dynasty."

"Shuai Lan's words are wrong. Every deceased person should be respected, not to mention someone like Zan Yizhi. However, it is not us Zanpu who invites you, but our Prime Minister who invites you." After saying this, he handed a piece of letter paper to Lan Yuheng

Lan Yuheng took the letter and looked at it and couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect that you would refuse to let me go even to death, but you told me this...why?"

Song Puyi said helplessly, "Because this war has no meaning anymore, this time we mainly invite Lan Shuai to the city to discuss compensation. After all, one hundred thousand is too much, and we Tubo can't afford it."
