Chapter 599 Prince Duomy

The next morning, the team suddenly grew stronger and there were 450 more people. One hundred and thirty of them were the thank-you gift from Zuo Shaoyang to Tong Shengquan, and the other 320 were preparing to persuade Zuo Shaoyang to thank Duomiguo Alliance, led by Dusong, the eldest son of chief Xirao. Both sides agreed that the work would be done, and these people continued to go with Zuo Shaoyang. If they couldn't get it, Dusong would take the people back. These people brought their own food and accommodation. Of course, if they were done, Zuo Shaoyang would be responsible for the food and accommodation.

Because there was a lack of carriages, I could only walk, so the progress was significantly slowed down. Fortunately, I had left the border and the possibility of the Tang Dynasty pursuing soldiers was getting smaller and smaller.

On the way, Zuo Shaoyang used all possible time to learn Tibetan language from Dalong Xin. After more than ten days, they finally entered Duomian.

If they go directly to Luosie City, they only need to pass through the southern part of Duomi. However, because they shoulder the important task of persuading both sides to the Duomi and Misang alliance, this not only concerns whether the 320 female slaves and craftsmen continue to follow them, but also whether they can have more time to strengthen Gangren Buche or Xiangxiong in order to help them deal with the upcoming Tubo attack. Whether Tubo can successfully unify the Western Regions like history is directly related to the interests and safety of the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion.

Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang decided to turn north and head to the south of the capital of Duomian Kingdom. On the one hand, we can do serious business, and on the other hand, if there are pursuers of the Tang Dynasty, we can take the opportunity to get rid of them.

All the way north, we can see all the farms and pastoral areas, and occasionally we can see green pasture cattle and sheep, as well as lush barley. The houses and tents of pastoral herders in the farm are also better than those of the pastoral herders. It seems that more abundant than the pastoral.

Three days later, they finally arrived in Nancheng. It happened to be raining lightly when they arrived. Now it was the beginning of autumn, and the rain was a little cooler. In the light rain, they entered the southern city of Duomian capital.

Nancheng is much larger than Misang's fortress, and can be compared with the city defense buildings of medium-sized cities in the Tang Dynasty. Because there was no war, the city gates were wide open, and there were no gate guards to check. Pedestrians and merchants entered and exited freely.

Zuo Shaoyang and his team were very large, and there were hundreds of young and beautiful women, so they attracted pedestrians to stop and watch.

After entering the city, so many people lived in it became a big problem. The chief's son Dumatsu was very familiar with Tamaya, so he found an inn run by Misan people here, and booked all the inns, and set up many tents in the backyard, so he barely lived in.

After settling down, Zuo Shaoyang called Dalongxin into the house and said, "I want to visit the king of Duomia, how can I see him?"

Dalongxin said: "First go to see their foreign affairs officials, hand them a gift, and ask for the king. If the king is willing to meet him, he will ask the foreign affairs officials to arrange it. The subordinates have met King Duomie several times after the Dharma King of the previous life, so the foreign affairs officials are still familiar with him."

"That's good. Please write a gift for me and we ask for a meeting with the king."

"Yes!" Da Longxin took the paper and pen, picked up the pen and waited.

Zuo Shaoyang thought for a while and said, "How do you think about it before? Anyway, we will give King Duomian a gift, uh, twenty beauties and a pearl as big as a thumb that is worth two thousand taels of silver!"

Dalongxin was startled: "Dharma King, this beauty is easy to deal with, this pearl..."

Zuo Shaoyang took out his purse from his arms and a pearl as big as a thumb everywhere: "Here! Just use this one, it can be worth two thousand taels of silver!"

"But, this is your property, your property, how can you use it to do things for Misang? Everything Misang gives you is far less than the money of this pearl?"

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "What do you know? This is called being reluctant to let the child down and unable to trap the wolf! If we don't take out valuable things, how can we pay attention to us? So how can we speak? Don't worry, I know that money is just used to do business. What is the point of spending this pearl? What we exchange for in the future is far from worth this pearl!"

Dalongxin said carefully: "However, the king of Duomian Kingdom is very stingy, I am afraid he will not give much reward to the Dharma King."

"Why are you not aware of it? This is not a business, and there is no need for equal exchange. This time I not only want to persuade Duomian to form an alliance with Misang, but also to form an alliance with small countries and tribes such as Bogan, Bowo and Luowo to deal with Tubo together! In this way, there will be a multi-national alliance centered on Duomian in the east, a powerful Yangtong and Qiangtang in the north, a Xiangxiong Gangrenbuche in the west, and Nipola and Tianzhu in the south. As long as everyone works together, there will be no need to be afraid of Tubo. If this goal is achieved, we can only be safe in Xiangxiong Gangrenbuche, otherwise there will be a catastrophe soon!"

Dalongxin naturally didn't know that Zuo Shaoyang already knew that Tubo would defeat all the Western Regions countries in the future, unify the Western Regions, and even face the city of Chengdu Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty! He wanted to take advantage of the current situation where Tubo was not yet powerful and disrupt him and prevent him from unifying the Western Regions. At least he could not break through the buffer barrier between the tribes of the eastern countries such as Duomian and the Tang Dynasty.

The purpose of his doing this was not patriotism. Now it seems that the battle between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, just like the battle between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, was a struggle. It has no practical significance to help either side.

After a life and death in the Zuo Shaoyang Dharma Field, all wealth and prosperity are passing by and meaningless to him. He does not want to serve others. However, this time he must come forward to help others, just because he is now a Dharma King, a Dharma King of the Gangrenbuche Mandala of the Gangrenbuche Mandala in Xiangxiong Kingdom. He already knows that Songtsen Gangbu's iron hooves will soon step onto his ground. As the Dharma King of Gangrenbuche, he will definitely not tolerate his mandala being captured by Tubo!

However, there were only one thousand households in the entire Gangrenbuche Mandala, a total of five thousand people. In any case, it was impossible to fight against Tubo. Therefore, to avoid this result, we could only establish as many strong enemies as possible for Tubo, and enough strong enemies to fight against him. In order to restrain the power of Tubo, he had no time to take care of his territory Gangrenbuche Mandala.

It is the best choice to establish a strong enemy for Tubo and make a small country alliance. Therefore, he must do so.

Of course, so far, Zuo Shaoyang, who has no soldiers or much fame, is just a dream. If a dream becomes a reality, it must go step by step.

The first footprint has been stepped on, that is, to gain the trust of Chief Misang. He wants to step on the second footprint, that is, to move Duomi to form an alliance with Misang. The footprint behind is to persuade Duomi to form an alliance with Bogan, Bowo and other countries to jointly deal with the increasingly powerful Tubo.

Everything is to protect Xiangxiong Kingdom and protect the mandala of Gangrenbuche as the Dharma King. In order to achieve this goal, what else can I do if I spend a pearl?

After hearing Zuo Shaoyang's words, Da Longxin didn't dare to say anything anymore. He honestly wrote down a pearl worth 2,000 taels of silver, and then looked at Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang thought for a while and said, "Ten best singers!"

Dalongxin was stunned and said, "Dharma King, this is given to you by the Chief. I said you can't transfer it to others."

"Nonsense, since I am given to me, I can naturally deal with it at will." Zuo Shaoyang smiled, "You have to make the best of your talents and use the best of your own things. Do you know? The old king of Duomian is a pervert. We call it a favor, but the same sentence is that you can't bear to let your children go to trap wolves, and the beauties can't hold you back! Hehehe, as long as Duomian is willing to form an alliance with Misang, and then he will form an alliance with several other small countries, it will be powerful. Only when they can you have the capital and ability to deal with Tubo. If they restrain Tubo, we can have security guarantees in Xiangxiong and Gangrenbuche Mandala!"

Dalongxin never believed that Tubo would attack Duomian and other eastern countries, and he did not believe that Tubo would attack Xiangxiong in the future, because Xiangxiong's strength was not inferior to Tubo. However, this was the words of the Dharma King, so he dared not not listen. He had to honestly write the "Ten Best Singers" on the gift list.

Zuo Shaoyang gave the pearl to Dalongxin, gave him money to buy a decent jewelry box, and then took out a ingot of ten taels of silver and handed it to Dalongxin: "Here, this is used to handle foreign affairs officials."

"No, right? I'm very familiar with him."

"What do you know? If you are familiar with it, now we have to meet the king, take their hands short and eat their mouths softly. Only after he accepts our gifts will he help us with all his heart! As an elder, don't care about these little heads, and look forward to the long-term! Okay, send the gift list."

Dalongxin quickly agreed, took the letter of worship and went out. After talking to Mei Duo, he took the ten singers away.

After waiting for an hour or two, he came back and said excitedly: "Dharma King, King Duomie has agreed to see you. Hehe, the Dharma King has the foresight. I only had a friendship with the foreign affairs official at the beginning, but he pushed him and said that the king was in poor health and did not see foreign guests. Later, I handed over the ten taels of silver, and then changed my smile. I promised to report to the king immediately. After signing for the gift and the singer, he brought it into the palace and soon came back and said that the king would summon you, the Dharma King!"

"Haha, money can make the devil push the mill, and it's okay to let the king push the mill. Let's go!"

Zuo Shaoyang changed into a brocade and jade robe, said to the chief's son Dusong and others, and brought Dalongxin into the palace.

The foreign affairs official saw Zuo Shaoyang, and kept saying flattering words, but they were all speaking Tibetan. Although Zuo Shaoyang had been learning Tibetan for a few days, he still couldn't understand it. He just smiled and said nothing. The foreign affairs official was a little strange. After asking Da Longxin, he realized that Zuo Shaoyang was a Han Chinese. He quickly switched to half-baked Chinese. Then Zuo Shaoyang said some flattering words that admired Duomian Kingdom. This foreign affairs official could speak some Chinese, which made Zuo Shaoyang feel much more convenient.

Foreign affairs officers took them to the palace by car.

The rain was heavier at this time, and there was a rumbling thunder sound, which made people feel a little numb.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw a team of people escorting a young man in a tied brocade robe, braved the autumn rain, and came out of the palace. An official swayed in front. In the guard behind, a burly man holding a ghost-headed knife in his hand, slamming his upper body, as if he was an executioner. The man in a tied brocade scattered head, shouting in Tibetan.

Zuo Shaoyang said strangely: "Who is this person?"

The foreign affairs officer took a look, was also surprised, and hurriedly said, "It's the big prince, what's wrong? Why do you want to tie him up?"

"Big Prince?" Zuo Shaoyang was also secretly surprised, remembering what the chief concubine said. The prince was also opposed to Tubo, but he was unable to speak in the kingdom and could not make any decision. Seeing that he was like this, he seemed to be going to push the Meridian Gate to kill him, and hurried to the foreign affairs official: "Please ask, what do they want to do to the prince?"

"Okay!" The foreign affairs officer was also worried about this matter, so he hurriedly got out of the carriage, ran over to stop the official, said a few words, and then ran back quickly.

Zuo Shaoyang had already got out of the car and was looking at the big prince up and down.

The foreign affairs official said: "The Lord of the Lord has already found out clearly. The eldest prince violated the Tubo envoy. The king was furious and decided to kill him!"

Zuo Shaoyang nodded and walked over in the rain. The prison officer had already learned from the foreign affairs officer that Zuo Shaoyang's identity. The people in the Western Regions respected ordinary believers, let alone the Dharma King. Even if they were not from their own country, they respected them very much. Because they often represented gods, and the ancients had a strong awe of gods.

So, the decree of the prison quickly bowed and bowed.

Zuo Shaoyang walked straight to the eldest prince, stared at him, and slowly said, "Your name is Nang Lisi?"

The eldest prince was surprised and saw that the man in front of him was very young and light, with a bare head, wearing a Han brocade robe, and didn't know what he was doing, and said in Tibetan: "That's it! Who are you?"

Da Longxin followed Zuo Shaoyang and was busy translating.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "I am the Dharma King of the Mandala of Xiangxiong Gangrenbuche, and my name is Zuo Shaoyang. I will ask you a question. If you answer truthfully, I may be able to save your life!"

The eldest prince was even more surprised to hear Da Longxin's translation. However, the Dharma King has the highest status in Bon religion and naturally has the strongest magic power, not to mention the Dharma King from Xiangxiong, the source of Bon religion. The eldest prince originally thought he was dead, but unexpectedly came to life in a desperate situation, so he nodded and said, "Master King, I will definitely answer according to the truth."

"I heard that you were offended by the Tubo envoy and were therefore pushed out and killed. I want to know, do you regret it?"

"What are you regretting?" the eldest prince shouted, "Tubo has an alliance with us, that is bad intentions. They will destroy us one by one! The father doesn't believe it, so he asked me to apologize. I don't. I told my father that you can kill me, but please hang my head on the city gate. I will watch Tubo destroy our Duomian country with his own eyes!"

After hearing Da Longxin's translation, Zuo Shaoyang nodded slowly, turned around and walked to the prison officer and said in a deep voice: "Don't execute the execution first. I will meet the king of your country now. I will explain to him the reason why he cannot kill the prince. You are waiting for the king's new order."

Dalongxin hurriedly translated it to the prison officer. The prison officer actually felt that it was inappropriate to kill the prince for a Tubo envoy. It happened that the Xiangxiong Dharma King had expressed his feelings, so he naturally waited for the news and bowed to agree.

Zuo Shaoyang and the others entered the palace.ro
