Chapter 257
Wang Xuance slept very comfortably.

Ni Tu, Cheng Zheng and the others were lying in the deep trench, watching every move of the group of Tubo people in the canyon through the cat's eyes piercing through the stone wall.

Although there were not many Tibetans in that group, they were divided into four waves in an orderly manner.

A wave of twenty people stepped back and forth in front of the horse, testing whether there were any traps in the ground.

A group of people are responsible for the pioneers to press and test, and follow suit.

A group of people was in charge of guarding the surrounding mountains, and from time to time they shot wave after wave of arrows towards the mountains on both sides.

A group of people, that is, people with a leader, moved towards the mountain stream bit by bit, following the probing of the two teams in front.

The distance between the horse and the horse in the team was three meters, which seemed to be to prevent being blocked by the two ends.

Once something was wrong, the whole team immediately turned their horses around.

The rear becomes the front.

The front becomes the rear.

Get out of here quickly.

Ni Tu saw that this group of well-trained people was moving in an orderly manner, and nodded approvingly.

Cheng Zheng looked at it indifferently: "Brother-in-law, why are you so satisfied with this group of people?"

Brother-in-law, such a title has become something that Cheng Zheng is proud of.

After the battle of Hunling, the reputation of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was finally spread by the merchants on the Silk Road.

As they do business everywhere, the prestige of Datang people has spread back to Datang, spreading far and wide throughout Central Asia, South Asia, and West Asia.

However, all such credits were given to this justifiable master——Ni Tu.

The merchants who are proud of the people of the Tang Dynasty did not forget to add fuel and vinegar, telling about the various rare treasures that Ni Tu brought to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Since then, Ni Tu has become synonymous with Tang merchants.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are indeed the wealthiest class, but in the era of strict feudal hierarchy, the social status of merchants was the lowest.

The labels they are recognized by the world are petty profits, cunning and cunning, no business and no fraud... Once many businessmen make a fortune, the first thing to do is to have more children, and then hire a private school teacher with a high salary to come to their home and teach the children , I hope that I can fight a turnaround of my identity and get rid of the stinky reputation of merchants.

Until now, merchants have finally straightened their backs.

The most important thing is that Ni Tu helped them vent their anger, and they were proud of themselves.

Complaints are nothing more than the imperial court's indifference to these merchants, especially the traveling merchants.Since the opening of the Silk Road connecting West Asia, South Asia, and Central Asia during the Han Dynasty, merchants from the East and the West were finally able to trade goods from the East and the West.

But it also gave the bandits along the road a chance to burn, kill and loot.

Although Datang sent special personnel to protect merchants and deal with bandits and chaos.

But such a small force is a drop in the bucket after all for the long Silk Road.

Whenever they encountered bandits, even if the merchants shed tears to report to the officials, what they got was the lack of enthusiasm from the court.

Some low-level soldiers will only take the opportunity to collect money wantonly, and give them the need for military supplies in a high-sounding manner.

The merchants can only lose their wives and lose their soldiers, and then they are extorted by the soldiers who are supposed to protect them.

Concealing from top to bottom, the imperial court only paid attention to whether these merchants paid taxes and fees truthfully. As for their life and death, they were originally pariahs, and their lives like ants were not worth mentioning.

The merchants wanted to be seen by the heavens, and sent heavenly soldiers and generals to justice for them.

But after so many years of anticipation, the vicious ones are still those bandits who raised their butcher's knives at them and robbers who robbed them of their property.

Even so, many people still have great hopes for Silk Road.

Small traders, hoping that they will have special luck and escape the catastrophe along the way. As long as they can walk a few times, they will suddenly turn over and become a wealthy merchant.

Big merchants rely on the Silk Road trade as a source of rare and habitable goods, and they even regard the Silk Road as the source of life for their own industries.

The temptation of huge profits made batch after batch of merchants embark on this bloody and dangerous road of no return.

It wasn't until Ni Tu came here and wiped out the bandits who had robbed them for many years that these merchants straightened up completely and smiled.

There are gods along the way, and Ni Tu, who can effectively protect their lives and property, suddenly becomes their new living god.

Ni Tu thought of the misfortune of Qin's second brother being worshiped alive, but suffered half his life, and wanted to order to stop their crazy actions.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I felt helpless.

This is like the fanaticism of fans towards celebrities, the love from the heart, how can there be a good way to stop it easily?

Think again, the popularity of public opinion will not exceed a month at most.

When Datang sent people to guard the border crossings, the security situation improved significantly.

These people have also forgotten themselves as living gods.

Ni Tu left them alone.

"Tatata..."

At this time, the hundreds of people below the mountain stream were getting closer and closer to the mouth of the mountain stream.

"His mother! Do you want to fight? If you don't fight, let them run away!" Cheng Zheng asked angrily as he punched the rock.

Ni Tu cast a disgusted glance at Cheng Zheng beside him.

"Keep your mouth clean!"

Only then did Cheng Zheng come to his senses, he laughed embarrassedly.

"On the battlefield, you must listen to me, and you are not allowed to act without authorization!"

"What? I'm your uncle!"

"I'm the Deputy Envoy!"

"Okay! I listen to you!"

Ni Tu never showed off his new identity. Although the imperial decree had not yet arrived, the letter from his family had already arrived.

Ni Tu never took this new position seriously, but facing Cheng Zheng, he could use it to suppress him.

"Does your tripping rope work? Just a few ropes, how effective is it?" Cheng Zheng sneered at the simple mechanism Ni Tu set up in the mountain stream last night.

"Whether it's serious or not, you'll know later."

"What if it doesn't work?"

"If it doesn't work, I'll go back to Chang'an immediately and marry your sister!"

"What if we win?"

"If I win, I will marry your sister after I return from Tianzhu!"

"Uh... you're not bad, kid, you benefit from both sides and sides!"

"Why? Are you not happy? Or, why don't you marry your sister?"

"Don't mind! You won! You won!"

When the two were bickering, the arrow rain below the mountain stream suddenly became dense.

Crackling shots hit the tunnel, like a torrential rain pouring down.

"Attention the messenger! They are going to snatch the head, let them snatch it! When they all carry a lot of weight, blow the horn and tighten the tripping rope!"

"Here!"

In the rain of arrows from howling tigers, loud shouts turned into murmurs.

Cheng Zheng clenched his fists fiercely, admiring Ni Tu secretly: "This kid is really amazing, how did he know that the Tubo people would definitely come to snatch the head?"

"Besides, they won't rush to mobilize the crowd and send a large army, but a small group of rogues and bandits?"
