"Go to the west?"

After Xu Jingzong received the news, Liao Quan, the licking dog he got back, was also there.

"Your Majesty has an order to lead you to the west and welcome the Tubo envoys."

The officials from the Ministry of Rites came, and then some personnel arrangements were made, and Lao Xu took the lead and formed a team to go.

"Tu...Tu Bu Envoy?" Xu Jingzong was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that this was not a contribution to me?

He then raised his head with a passionate look on his face, "Please rest assured that I will definitely show my power to the Tang Dynasty when I go!"

Liao Quan looked at his idol from the side and couldn't help but secretly praise: It was indeed an envoy who worked tirelessly for the country and the people.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites nodded, "The ministers in the court said that Tubo at this time may have some other thoughts and should act carefully."

Lao Xu's heart and soul trembled, "What's the point?"

The official said: "When the news of the death of the late emperor spread, Tubo would definitely covet the Tang Dynasty. If this trip is not easy to meet blood."

Old Xu was shocked and was about to refuse the task, but Liao Quan was excited.

"May the king be upright and have superb skills, what do those Tubo people count!"

Well!

But I'm so nervous!

Old Xuqiang smiled, "This matter..."

"There are also people from the Hundred Riders who are walking with you."

In an instant, Lao Xu's waist was no longer sore, his legs stopped hurting, and he ran to Zhuque Gate in one breath and stopped breathing.

With my husband’s think tank here, what are I worried about?

He said lightly: "I am obliged to be true! I am fearless!"

After the Ministry of Rites officials returned, someone asked him: "What do you think of the treacherous minister?"

The official said seriously: "Don't call him a treacherous minister. According to what he sees, this person is righteous and loyal."

...

The team was quickly formed. Before leaving, Jia Ping'an went to Baiqi to say goodbye.

Tang Xu is here, and Shao Peng is here too.

Seeing Jia Ping'an carrying a long sword, Shao Peng said sharply: "Can you kill the enemy?"

Jia Ping'an didn't know what this meant, but subconsciously stood up straight, "Yes."

Shao Peng's voice was even sharper, "In Chang'an, in the Tang Dynasty, you are the hundreds of cavalry Jia Wenshu. Outside the Tang Dynasty, you are a martial artist of the Tang Dynasty, what if you encounter an enemy?"

Jia Ping'an held his head up, "Kill the enemy!"

"Don't embarrass the Tang Dynasty!"

"Don't bow your head to the aliens!"

In an instant, Jia Ping'an felt his blood rushing.

Is this the Tang Dynasty?

"I remembered it."

He walked out of the duty room and stood outside with dozens of riders.

They all bowed, "I will never return if I can win!"

Jia Ping'an bowed, "It will definitely be worthy of the mission and the Tang Dynasty!"

He walked out of Baiqi, and outside, Wei Wushuang, who was dressed in men, also had a long sword, and was heroic.

"Set off."

Dozens of hundreds of cavalry including Bao Gong and Lei Hong followed.

Everyone left the imperial city, joined the mission, and headed west.

...

Diezhou.

The administrative organization of the Tang Dynasty was different from the past. The first level was Tao, but Tao was only a regional division and had no rights or authority to govern officials. In other words, Tao was just a concept that distinguished regions, not an administrative level.

Further down there are the Governor's Office, prefectures, counties, etc.

Wang Dekai, the governor of Diezhou, was discussing matters with Zhou Guo, the former governor.

His figure seems ordinary, but when he smiles, his heroic spirit is unforgettable.

"Everyone says that on the right side of Diezhou is Tuyuhun, in front is Bailan Kingdom, and behind is Tubo. Although he is waiting for the battle, Tubo Zanpu stopped and did not dare to raise troops. It can be seen that it is the most boring place.

But before his death, the late emperor sent the British Duke to serve as the governor of Diezhou, which shows the importance of this place. I followed closely and should have some action."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. His weather-beaten face was a little more contemptuous. "Tubo tried many times in the Plain Kingdom a while ago, and even a small team of shepherds pretended to be lost. They interspered between Plain and Tuyuhun to Diezhou before, which was a test!"

Zhou Guo stroked his beard and said confidently: "When the late emperor passed away, Tubo thought the Tang Dynasty would be weak and decline, so he came to attack and test it. This is common sense. If he didn't come, the officials would still find it strange."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The two couldn't help laughing.

"Governor, the Tubo people are here."

A sergeant came outside, and his face was a little red from the sun.

Wang Dekai stood up suddenly, "Where? How many people?"

The sergeant said, "There are more than ten cavalry, and the mission to mourn the late emperor is about to arrive."

Wang Dekai sat down and waved his hand, "The people who came to welcome the mission in Chang'an should be almost here. Tell the Tubo people and talk about it when they come."

After the soldiers left, Zhou Guo's body turned to Wang Dekai and said confidently: "Governor, why should I actually welcome this? I thought Diezhou was enough. Chang'an sent people to defeat the power of the Tang Dynasty."

Wang Dekai nodded, "Your Majesty has recently ascended the throne, and the court is probably unstable. This is a safe meaning, but I don't know who was sent."

Before he finished speaking, a soldier came to report, "Governor, someone is coming to Chang'an."

"Who leads the team?" Zhou Guo stood up and asked, his eyes brightly.

The soldier said, "It is said that it is the governor of Yongzhou... Xu Jingzong."

Bang!

Wang Dekai slapped the table and cursed: "This person is a treacherous person. He only knows how to follow the superior intentions when doing things. Even if he sends a cow, he is better than him!"

Zhou Guo turned around, shook his head and sighed, "Then Xu Jingzong is literary, but there are too many people with literary talent. He relies on understanding Shangyi to be promoted all the way. Such people... I'm afraid this matter will be a little trouble."

"I know!" Wang Dekai looked calmly, "Tell my brothers, let me wait for the battle. Once Xu Jingzong messes up the matter, we must use our bodies to block the dignity of the Tang Dynasty!"

...

When entering Diezhou, Xu Jingzong obviously had a more solemn atmosphere.

He should always remind himself of his identity and make words and deeds that match his identity.

The long-legged beauty can be said to be hard-working throughout the journey.

After leaving Chang'an City for only a hundred miles, Wei Wushuang's inner thigh was worn out and in great pain. Jia Ping'an got her a carriage, but she stubbornly chose to continue riding.

This kind of cycling is to grind, wear out the skin, grow calluses, and then wear out... In the end, the equestrian is sophisticated that the skin gradually adapts to this friction, so he becomes a knight.

Jia Ping'an has always seen this woman's transformation and thinks... it's so sassy!

And because of the high-speed galloping throughout the journey, half of the war horses were abandoned. If it weren't for the replenishment on the road, they could only move forward with their legs.

This is an era without horseshoes.

But Jia Ping'an has no idea of ​​contributing this combat power multiplier now.

Li Zhicai was about to ascend the throne, and Changsun Wuji was in a small circle for a while, so he had to take a look again.

"Wang Dekai, the governor of Diezhou, is here to welcome him!"

A team of cavalry appeared in front of him, and the leader was Wang Dekai, the governor of Diezhou.

When both sides greeted each other, Wei Wushuang was beside Jia Ping'an and whispered in a low voice: "They seem to look down on Xu Jun."

Lao Xu, the treacherous minister, has become better in the capital, but it remains the same in the local area.

It was impolite to come but not go back. Jia Ping'an walked over and whispered to Wei Wushuang's ear: "Don't worry, Gong Xu will make them look at him with admiration..."

Then he saw his ears turn red quickly.

"Why are your ears red?"

Wei Wushuang's face turned red when she felt itchy and felt very uncomfortable.

Such a cool girl is still blushed by Master Jia.

She clenched her fists with her hands, and her feet were itchy, but she thought that she was talking to him first, so she lost confidence.

"The Tubo messenger is here."

If Lao Xu and Wang Dekai are a pair of resentful couples who are in harmony and separation, and both sides are thinking privately about how to pretend to be enjoyable when they sleep together tonight, then the Tubo messenger is like Lao Xu's card friend and shouted: Three are missing one, is there anyone there?

Xu Jingzong waved, and Wang Dekai smiled and said, "Who else is this?"

He thought there was a big boss accompanying him, but when he saw that the young official came up, he was shocked.

Xu Jingzong did not introduce it, and the Tubo messenger came later.

The visitor looked at his eyes and swollen. He first expressed his condolences to the late emperor, and then said seriously: "Tuyuhun has always been hostile to Tubo. The mission was about to pass by the border of Tuyuhun. The envoy was worried about being attacked, so he begged the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to welcome him."

Tubo is a transliteration, and according to the meaning of the word, it is almost the same as the name of the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tuyuhun people were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, they bowed down and surrendered. Tubo has been eyeing them covetously, and the two sides have been in constant conflict.

So this statement is true.

But what if the Tubo people ambush the envoy?

Lao Xu brought dozens of horsemen, so he would not be involved!

Don’t be surprised by the risks of missions in this era. In such a remote place, if the opponent has absolute strength to destroy your mission, you will take action, leaving you silently and without evidence of death.

This was Wang Xuance's experience back then, but he escaped, otherwise no one would have known that the Tang Dynasty mission died in India.

Wang Dekai wished he could come forward to deal with it himself.

Zhou Guo whispered: "It's not good to agree to this matter, and it's embarrassing not to agree. The best way is to agree. But Xu Jingzong was timid and afraid of death, and would refuse. According to some point, this messenger was here to provoke. If Xu Jingzong refused, Tubo would be able to take the lead!"

Wang Dekai had a nasty face, "I would have changed someone if I had known it! Now... hey! It's embarrassing!"

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Xu Jingzong had a little weak legs.

It's okay if you want him to go to the army, but he dare not do such an unpredictable and dangerous action.

This is greed for life and fear of death.

The messenger looked at him inadvertently, and found his timidity, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

Success!

The Tang envoy was afraid of being ambushed and dared not go!

Tubo, the first to win the lead!

Jia Ping'an stood behind Xu Jingzong, so angry that he wanted to kill the old thief. He stretched out his feet and stepped on Xu Jingzong's heel.

"good!"

Xu Jingzong instantly felt excited like chicken blood, "I'll go then."

The messenger was stunned.

This is... He swears that he had seen it truthfully before, and Tang Zhi was timid, but why did he turn his head and become passionate...

This is unscientific!

Wang Dekai and others were even more surprised.

Is this a treacherous minister?

This old thief who is greedy for life and fears death dares to take the risk with regret?

...
