Confused Escort Confused Account

The man stood with his back, as if he was thinking about something, and didn't notice his arrival.

Zhao Shitu also thought quickly.

Zanpu is what the Tubo people call the emperor. More than a hundred years ago, Princess Wencheng, who was born in the imperial family, married Zanpu Songtsan Gampo at that time. Later, the relationship between Tang and Tibet gradually reached a stalemate. In recent years, there have been constant wars on the border. Even this small stone town has changed ownership twice, and the residents of the town have long been familiar with it.

Although Zhao Shitu is only an escort agency, he is also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and the person in front of him is naturally not a monarch.But the other party was older than him after all, and held a high position, he simply treated each other with the courtesy of an elder, cupped his fists and bowed: "I'm Zhao Shitu, Zanpu has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing his voice, the other party quickly turned around and said politely: "Boss Zhao, you don't need to be polite, this has been a hard one."

Only then did Zhao Shitu see Chizu Dezan's face, and he was surprised again.Along the way, most of the foreigners he saw were ferocious thieves, but this Zanpu's temperament was far from theirs, not only his face was modest, but also his gestures showed a calm demeanor.

Seeing that Zhao Shitu was fascinated, he reminded, "You must be wondering why my Chinese is so fluent?"

Zhao Shitu immediately straightened his expression, and said frankly: "Zanpu's Chinese is indeed fluent, but I don't understand half a sentence of Tibetan, I am really ashamed."

Zanpu didn't mean to blame him, but just smiled slightly: "Does Escort Zhao know what year it is?"

Zhao Shitu was stunned by the evidence, and replied without knowing it: "Mu Zong has just succeeded to the throne, and the reign name is Changqing, and this year is still the first year."

Zanpu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the first year of Changqing is also the seventh year of Yitai, and it is the seventh year of my succession."

Zhao Shitu quickly understood what he meant.The Tubo Kingdom did not have a year name before, but this year name was created by Chi Zu Dezan, intending to emulate the Tang Dynasty.

Since imitating, it is to have respect, and since there is respect, naturally there will be no fighting spirit.

Zanpu not only saw through his doubts, but also dispelled them with a simple question and answer. He is really a master of words.Zhao Shitu felt admiration suddenly, and said respectfully: "Zanpu has a generous heart, I'm being rude."

Zanpu didn't mean to criticize, and said kindly: "Head Zhao has just survived a narrow escape, so it's inevitable that he has lingering fears. On the contrary, I failed to eradicate the evil party, so I should accompany you. If you don't mind, I will replace the crime with wine."

As he spoke, Zhao Shitu turned sideways, and Zhao Shitu saw the table behind him. There was actually an animal head pot and two tall bottles.

The goblet has been filled with wine, the color of the wine is yellowish, with circles of ripples in the cup.

Zanpu said: "The journey was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to prepare the wine, which made Zhao Escort laugh."

"If you can drink a pot with Zanpu, even if the water in the pot is cold, it still tastes like fine wine." Zhao Shitu said, coming to the table, lifting a cup, and drinking it with his head raised.

"Boss Zhao is really bold and upright." Zanpu nodded slowly, showing approval.

Zhao Shitu took another glass of wine and respected the other party with both hands: "I don't dare to be bold, but I, Zhao Shitu, don't drink people's wine for nothing, if you have any orders, you might as well just say it.

"Then I'll be honest. After walking through the frontier fortress, I realized that the people here have suffered from wars. If Tang and Tibet can reconcile, it will be beneficial to you and me."

Zhao Shitu was surprised and said, "Zanpu intends to reconcile with Datang?"

Zanpu replied: "It's not a one-day plan, but a long-term strategy."

Zhao Shitu said again: "In this case, you might as well send envoys to Chang'an to ask for an alliance. If the two countries can clear up the old grievances and join hands in an alliance, it will be a good thing for the country and society of the Tang Dynasty."

But Zanpu lowered his gaze, with a worried expression on his face: "Why don't I want to, why can't I do it."

"Can't do it?"

"The envoys I sent were all intercepted on the way and suffered a terrible disaster."

"Who dares to intercept Zanpu's envoy?"

"It's the same person who intercepted you."

"Thieves group?" Zhao Shitu was even more surprised, "They are so bold?"

Zanpu said: "It's just because they have other backers behind them."

"Who?"

"My uncle, Daroma."

Zhao Shitu frowned and said: "The dignified uncle, but ordered the thieves to hijack the emperor's envoy, isn't it suspected of treason?"

Zanpu sighed: "I don't know, Daroma is the eldest brother of my father, my father trusted him a lot when he was alive, not only regarded him as a national teacher, but also entrusted him with military power. Pu, the only thing he can mobilize is these personal soldiers. Although he knows that he has a lot of bad deeds, he has been helpless. Most of the people in Tubo believe in Brahma and Buddha, so he proclaimed himself the King of Dharma, named Dongji, and tried his best to incite the army and the people to go to war with Tang Dynasty. "

Zhao Shitu suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Dharma king that Ma Touzhan mentioned is him. The East Great Sea, where the sun comes out, it seems that his appetite is really not small."

Zanpu was surprised and said, "Have you seen the horse's head beheaded?"

Zhao Shitu said: "Not only have I seen it, my friends have also fought against him, but it's a pity that we can't tell the winner."

Zanpu sighed: "It seems that Zhao's escort agency is indeed a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, and there is someone who can evenly compete with Yashamen."

"Yasha Gate?"

"I don't know much about Jianghu affairs. I only know that the Yecha Sect was founded by a group of people who disdain the martial arts of the Central Plains and tried to set up another sect. They didn't participate in the affairs of the court at first, but they were recruited by Daroma and worked as a minion for tigers."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Zhao Shitu couldn't help feeling a little bit secretly happy. It turns out that this is the origin of the school that Matouzhan has been refusing to explain.He turned to ask: "There is still one thing I don't know."

He told the story of how he was entrusted by the Yuan family to welcome Yan Wuhua's birthday gift, and finally said: "Although the gold-threaded garment is a treasure, it may not be enough for Daroma. Looking at it, if it wasn't for money, why did he have to attack Stone Town and snatch the Golden Thread Clothes?"

Zanputuoji thought for a while, then frowned and said, "I heard that Daroma recently obtained a document, which was stolen from the tomb of Emperor Wen of Sui by a group of tomb robbers. It is also a recent event that his band of thieves has started to move frequently. .”

Zhao Shitu asked: "Can Zanpu know the contents of the document?"

Zanpu shook his head and sighed: "It has not been found out so far."

Zhao Shitu said: "Based on this, the Golden Thread Clothes was also a gift from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to the Yuan family. Could it have something to do with that document?"

Zanpu looked at him solemnly, and said slowly: "Boss Zhao, this is exactly the purpose of my coming here. If there is really a conspiracy, it must be a hundred times more serious than gold and silver treasures. I hope you can help me thoroughly investigate the truth."

Zhao Shitu said: "But I'm just a small escort, how about entrusting this matter to the Yuan family? The Yuan family is the most prestigious family in the frontier fortress. When Princess Wencheng got married more than a hundred years ago, they were the ones who went all the way. It must not be difficult to accompany them for protection, and then ask them to come out to help."

But Zanpu just shook his head: "Zhao Escort doesn't know something. Ten years ago, when my father was old and weak, I sent a mission to Chang'an privately, to ask for an alliance with Datang as soon as possible, and to plan for a rainy day. But my mission is still They failed to get around Daroma's eyeliner, unfortunately they were in distress, and only a few people escaped by chance. At that time, they also asked Yuan for help, but they didn't get a response."

Zhao Shitu said: "Has such a thing happened?"

Zanpu sighed deeply: "In the past hundred years, people's hearts will change. This move is related to the great plan of the Tubo Kingdom. I dare not trust others."

Zhao Shitu asked again: "Since Zanpu doesn't even believe the Yuan family, why would he believe me?"

Zanpu stopped talking, but turned around, walked slowly to the door, opened the felt door, and came outside the tent.

Zhao Shitu also followed, standing outside the door together, in the cold wind, saw Chi Zu Dezan raised his hand, pointing at the shabby escort car of the escort agency.

The dart flag on the top of the dart cart was fluttering with the wind, making a hunting sound.

Zanpu said: "Because of this flag, I am really destined."
