Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Shanzhou, Xingyuan.

After the marriage team rested for more than twenty days, a Habayashi guard with an order flag on his back held the order in his hand, ran quickly to the marching shaft, and said loudly.

"Reporting to His Highness King Yan, a group of Tubo cavalry was discovered outside Shanzhou City. The leader calls himself Gaili Xu, Deputy Tibetan Prime Minister, and is here to greet Princess Jincheng on the orders of the Queen Mother!"

"Stay back first!"

Signaling the scouts to step aside, Fan Xin glanced at the officials on both sides.

"Everyone, I am about to escort the princess to Baiquan. Just in case, all the military and political affairs of Luanyou will be handed over to Prime Minister Yao Chong of Fengge Luantai Pingzhangshi."

"You must do your best to assist Mr. Yao in handling the aftermath, do you understand?"

"I respectfully obey the order of the envoy!" All the officials bowed in unison.

"Okay! Go and invite Gai Lixu, I want to see him!"

While everyone was waiting, two burly men wearing Tibetan robes walked into the main hall surrounded by guards.

His eyes looked around and finally landed on Fan Xin.

One of them, an old man with a goatee, cupped his hand in the manner of a Han Chinese.

"The Deputy Prime Minister of Tubo respectfully wishes the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to be enthroned!"

Fan Xin stood up and nodded, saying calmly.

"Holy Holy Gong!"

After speaking, he looked at the strong man with his nostrils pointing upward, and the latter snorted softly.

"This Governor is the general of the border garrison. He only received the order to escort the team to the royal city."

"There is no obligation to salute the Tang Dynasty."

Gai Lixu's expression changed slightly, he glared at his companion with a frown, and said to Fan Xin awkwardly.

"Don't be surprised, King Yan. Hui Duhu has been in the army for a long time and has no sense of etiquette. Let's talk about the matter of welcoming the bride."

Fan Xin smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.

"It doesn't matter. There are too many foreign envoys who have paid tribute to me in the Tang Dynasty. This one is worthy of me."

"Li Lang takes this general out for a refreshing break to wake him up!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Li Lang had long disliked this guy, and he had been pointing his nostrils at everyone since he got off the couch.

Therefore, he struck without mercy, grabbing the strong man with his two palms like steel claws and sharp hooks.

Wherever he passed along the way, there was even a muffled sound in the air due to the excessive exertion.

Seeing this, Hunji's expression changed drastically, and he was about to attack Li Lang with his fist, but the latter's claws slammed hard on his wrist.

Then he twisted his hands and heard a squeaking sound. The previously arrogant Hui Duhu screamed with a distorted face.

"General, wait a minute, Governor Hui is my Tubo general. He has a distinguished status. We must not throw him out!"

Li Lang stopped and looked up at Fan Xin. After receiving the latter's instructions, he let go of Hui Duhu.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Hunji gasped for air and looked at Li Lang with fearful eyes.

"Huduhu, are you awake this time?" Fan Xin asked with a smile behind his back.

"Humph!"

Wiping off the cold sweat with his sleeves, Hunji gave a reluctant salute.

"Hunji, I respectfully wish the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to greet you!"

"Good morning, Holy Gong, please take a seat, please." Fan Xin waved his sleeves and sat at the front seat.

After the two parties sat down, Galixu said with a smile.

"This time, in order to show the importance I attach to your princess, our Queen Mother specially asked me to come to the border to greet her."

"Then Chide Zuzan will personally guard the gate of Luoxie City. I wonder what Ambassador Tang thinks?"

"Yes, but I have one request, that is, wherever you pass along the way, the subjects of your country must pay homage to the princess as Ketun. How about that?"

"This……"

Gai Li's preface showed embarrassment. According to Tubo etiquette, a woman cannot be called Ketun before marrying the King of Tibet.

If Tubo subjects saluted the Tang Dynasty princess at this time, wouldn't it tell the world that Tibet was inferior to the Tang Dynasty?

"no!"

Before Gai Lixu could refuse, Hunji beside him became unhappy.

He originally looked down on the Tang people, but now the damn Tang envoy actually asked the Tibetan subjects to salute them. It was simply too much!

It wasn't until Li Lang snorted angrily that he calmed down and said.

"We cannot agree to this request. Before marrying the Tibetan king, our subjects will not show any courtesy."

Gary Xu also sighed.

"The King of Yan is a little embarrassed about the truth. The two countries are establishing a relationship on the basis of equality."

"We really can't agree to your request."

Seeing that the two rejected his request, Fan Xin felt a little relieved.

I am not afraid that the Tubo people will reject me, but I am afraid that they will agree to everything.

This proves that the Tubo people do not really want to get married.

So he opened his mouth and smiled.

"Well, since you two can't agree, let's forget it. How about we rest for a few days and then prepare to go to Baiquan?"

Galixu and Hunji looked at each other, somewhat reluctantly.

Especially Hunji, whose 20,000 soldiers and horses have been ambushed in Baiquan, waiting for the Tang Dynasty to enter.

Now it is estimated that it will be postponed for a few days.

However, Fan Xin is the King of Yan and his status is higher than them. The other party has spoken, so they have to give him face.

I can only agree to stay here for a few days.

……

While Fan Xin warmly entertained the Tibetan envoys, the ancient city of Baiquan far away in Tubo was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Hundreds of Tibetan soldiers lay in a pool of blood, staring at the sky with their eyes open, looking like they couldn't believe it.

After wiping the knife on the corpse, Garmu sneered.

"Stupid Gai Lixu dares to reprimand the prime minister of the country in the royal city. He really doesn't care about life and death. Guda, have all the people in Gai Lixu been killed?"

"Go back to the Deputy Protector and kill them all without leaving a single person alive."

"That's good. Tell your subordinates that when the Tang people enter the city, they must kill them all and never let them leave Tubo alive!"

After arranging for the body to be burned, Garmu came to the city and looked at the dark forest in the distance, his fingers tightly clasped on the city wall.

This time, in order to completely destroy the alliance between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty, the Prime Minister secretly borrowed a cavalry of 20,000 people from the Later Turks.

After the Tang people are eliminated, both sides will take advantage of the situation to invade Tubo and eliminate the confidants of Queen Mother Chimalun, thereby taking over the entire Tubo.

However, what he didn't know was that a pair of eyes were hiding in the forest looking at the brightly lit Baiquan City.

"Liu Zi, according to the captured tongue, there are 20,000 Tibetans in the city, and the deputy chief is a man named Garmu."

"The mission they received was to get rid of the peace advocates in the country, and then kill the Tang Dynasty envoys to destroy the peace between the two countries!"

Jiang Ji held down a Tibetan scout and whispered.

Liu Zi took a deep breath, stood up from the ground and gave instructions.

"Tell the brothers to follow me and pretend to be Turkic cavalry into the city!"

"Yes!"

With an order, the 50,000 cavalrymen hidden in the forest rushed into action instantly.

The momentum was so frightening that the expressions of the Tubo defenders changed drastically. They quickly closed the city gate and looked at the approaching cavalry team with vigilance.

"Shut up!"
