Ji Tang

Chapter 920 Running away from home?

"What? Are you going to Tubo?"

Lu Dongzan looked confused and confused. He really couldn't figure out what Ji Song was paying attention to?
Yes, when he thought about it, Ji Song had an inexplicable hostility towards Tubo. Who else could be responsible for this matter besides him?
If Ji Song knew what Lu Dongzan was thinking, he would probably scream injustice. This matter had nothing to do with him. It was just the emperor's desire to know more about the details of Tubo and lay the foundation for the future.

"What? Doesn't the Prime Minister seem not to be very welcoming? I heard that Tubo is located in a high place, with blue sky and white clouds within reach. It is the place closest to God. Our emperor sent an official to accompany the Prime Minister. Since then, you and others have come here many times. In the Tang Dynasty, our country knew nothing about Tibet. This can be regarded as a mutual understanding between the two countries. Secondly, this time I went to Shendu in the name of our emperor, hoping to establish contact with the other countries in Shendu. I am from Xuanzang The mage learned that the most convenient way is to go from the plateau, so we can take care of you along the way, right?"

Wang Xuance smiled, as if he didn't see Lu Dongzan's vigilant look.

"Alas! You may be disappointed. The Tubo region is barren. It's as cold as winter in the morning and evening, but extremely hot at noon. I think the Tang Dynasty would not like such a barbaric land. And as far as I know, once the Central Plains people set foot in Going to the plateau will cause chest tightness and shortness of breath, and even death in severe cases. If your country wants to go, of course I would be happy to do so, but I cannot guarantee the safety of the mission."

What Lu Dongzan said was very serious, because he wanted Wang Xuance to retreat in the face of difficulties.Of course he did not want Datang to go to Tubo. Once he entered Tubo, some things could not be hidden, and some of his plans would inevitably come into the eyes of others. This was not a good thing for Tubo!
"The Prime Minister is worrying too much!"

Wang Xuance said with a smile: "Perhaps the Prime Minister doesn't know about it, but the return of the expedition fleet that was rumored some time ago must be known to the Prime Minister. Just thousands of miles away from the east of the Tang Dynasty, thousands of people like me and I are still aware of it. After ten years of hard work, he finally returned to Datang."

"Does Prime Minister know where we are going?"

"Where?"

Lu Dongzan's eyelids twitched. He had also heard about this matter, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. But he knew that these people went to an unknown land and brought back a group of people who claimed to be from the Mayan Kingdom. of envoys.

Moreover, he had come into contact with the Mayans out of curiosity in the past few days, but under the surveillance of Tang Dynasty officials, he only knew that they came from the other side of the Wanli Sea. This was the first time he had set foot on this continent.

"That's one, no, it should be two continents that are several times larger than the Tang Dynasty. Where there are sparsely populated areas, wild beasts are rampant, and millions of cattle grow wantonly, that is the real wilderness. The only place that takes a fancy to There is only the civilization of the Mayans, and I brought them back this time in the hope that the two countries can communicate."

"Therefore, we in the Tang Dynasty have awe and curiosity about any strange or unfamiliar civilized country. Only communication can make people progress. Mutual progress and mutual learning are the right ways. It is unacceptable to rest on one's own laurels."

Wang Xuance looked at Lu Dongzan seriously and said sincerely: "The Prime Minister has stayed in our country for a long time, and he must have a deep understanding of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty knows very little about Tubo."

"Only communication can make progress. This is good for both you and me. I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks?"

Lu Dongzan was silent, looking at the high-spirited Wang Xuance, and thought to himself: Is this the atmosphere of a great country?He is fearless and moves forward bravely, knowing that there are many dangers ahead and he may even die, but he still can't stop him.There were Zhang Qian and Ban Gu before, and Xuanzang now, and maybe the young man in front of him.

"I welcome the Tang Dynasty to visit Tubo, and I will do my best to protect your safety!"

Hearing Lu Dongzan's assurance, Wang Xuance had to admire his husband's foresight. He didn't expect that everything was under his calculation, even Lu Dongzan's reaction was the same!
According to his words, Lu Dongzan is a proud man. His pride comes from the worship of him by the people at the bottom and the confidence in his own wisdom.Such a proud person will not give in easily. As long as he is more proud than him, it will definitely arouse his psychological resistance. At this time, if he hits again, he will definitely agree to protect your safety in Tubo.

"Thank you, Prime Minister. Sir, I often say that the Tubo clan is insignificant, but he highly respects the Prime Minister. It's a pity. It's a pity that I was born in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise we will definitely become the best friends."

Lu Dongzan was stunned and asked curiously: "Then why are you hostile to me? I don't remember where I offended him?"

"Does the Prime Minister really not know?"

Seeing Lu Dongzan's confused look, Wang Xuance sighed: "Actually, from the time you entered the Tang Dynasty, your every move has been in our eyes. Don't you know what you did?"

"Robbing craftsmen, bribing officials, and colluding with some wealthy families to purchase items that are prohibited from leaving the Tang Dynasty. Is this what a country's prime minister should do?"

"The Tang Dynasty has the magnanimity and patience to make friends with any country that is willing to live in peace with the Tang Dynasty. At first we just thought that you couldn't help but see the good things, which is understandable, but later on it became more and more wanton. Kidnapping, extortion, threats and inducements, it is simply useless. Not resorting to extremes, is this how a country should behave?"

"Does the Tang Dynasty dare to get along with such a country? If we extort people today, will we blackmail the Tang Dynasty tomorrow?"

Wang Xuance threw the floor loudly, and Lu Dongzan's face turned green and red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.It's so embarrassing. It's okay if he wasn't caught. Now that everything about him is under the eyes of others, and he was caught doing it, it's simply embarrassing.

"Those things.?"

Wang Xuance sneered: "Don't worry about those things. They have been detained by border soldiers. When you go back, the Prime Minister will take those detained back!"

"Sir, you asked me to give you a message. Staying safe in the Tang Dynasty will be good for you and Tubo. If there is a next time, I will kill you without mercy!"

Wang Xuance left, and Lu Dongzan slumped on the ground as if he had lost his energy.

"How could this be? How could this be?"

Then he raised his head and said bitterly: "Ji Song, this matter is not over yet!"

"Ah!"

Ji Song sneezed for no reason while reading, muttering to himself who was scolding him!

"Sir, the husband is here!"

At this moment, the housekeeper Lao Liu came to report.

"Oh? Now that he's here, let him come!"

Ji Song put down the book in his hand, and soon Ji Xiancheng came to the study.

"Students meet sir!"

Looking at the mature Ji Xiancheng, Ji Song motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "You know everything? It doesn't matter if you don't want to go, after all."

“Students want to go!”

Before Ji Song could say anything, Ji Xiancheng said.

"The student's ideal sir knows that only by continuously integrating the theories of all nations can it be possible to realize it. How could the student give up such an opportunity?"

Looking at his appearance, Ji Song sighed.

"Actually, my teacher recommended you to go there this time. You are a stable person, and I feel relieved to have you as my teacher. With his easy-to-get-into-the-corner and face-saving character, something will happen sooner or later. Then you should pay more attention to him. One thing, don’t let him get sidetracked.”

Hearing this, Ji Xiancheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will keep an eye on him."

"Ok!"

After a moment of silence, Ji Song said: "After you go, pay more attention to the local power structure. Don't interfere in local affairs unless you have to. If you really can't, think twice and stop immediately! The body poison is too far away for the Tang Dynasty. His tentacles can't reach anywhere at all. Therefore, everything is based on peaceful exchanges to open up the business path of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty." "However, don't be polite if you encounter someone who doesn't open your eyes. But you must pay attention to the degree and don't let others You took advantage and left hidden dangers for Datang!"

"There are many poisonous small countries, and the political situation is constantly turbulent. You must be careful and think about your own safety. Never get involved in danger yourself. Think about your family more. Don't worry about getting into trouble. You have your teacher with you in everything."

Ji Song said a lot, and he knew that the two of them would not be in peace when they left.But the children have grown up, and it would not be a good thing to restrain them.If that's the case, then go out and make a fortune. As for whether they can make a name for themselves, it all depends on their own luck.Even if things are not harmonious, as long as he returns to the Tang Dynasty, with his current status, there is still no problem in trying to protect them.

Ji Xiancheng didn't leave the Duke's Mansion until the sunset. In the next few days, he had to arrange things at home and appease the rest of the family. There were a lot of things.

"Husband!"

Just when Ji Song was sitting on the chair, lost in thought, You Ning came to the study at some point and said softly.

"Huh? You're here!"

Seeing that it was his wife, Ji Song didn't think much and said: "You prepare some things for Xiancheng and Xuance in the past few days, some more for self-defense, and two of the family's doctors, including horses, armor, and underwear." Armor, weapons, and crossbows are all equipped with the best for them."

"Thousands of miles away, if you are not careful, you will..."

Ji Song did not continue, but You Ning understood, nodded and said warmly: "Don't worry, I have already handed over these things. When the time comes, let them go to the arsenal to choose, and just take whatever they like."

"It's just. It's just that they have to go out again just after they come back. They are still so far away. Isn't it a bit unkind?"

Ji Shi patted his wife's hand and sighed: "Everyone has his own way to go. We, the elders, can only protect them before they have fully grown up. As for the future, they have to go on their own." Let’s go. As for whether it’s good or bad, we can only leave it to fate.”

"Go and help me say sorry to their mother, wife and children. If they have any resentment, I will come to them."

Ji Song didn't say that Wang Xuance's departure was the emperor's intention. As for his resentment, he continued,

"Well, I will go tomorrow!"

Ji Song felt guilty and said, "It's been so many years since I treated you because of Ji Qing and the others."

"Okay, let's not talk about these things. They belong to the old couple."

You Ning rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it!"

Standing up, Ji Song said with a smile: "But no matter what, I owe you my husband. It's a bit hurtful to say compensation, but please give me your advice for the rest of my life!"

After saying that, Chao Youyi bowed his hand and everyone could see the guilt in his eyes.

You Ning's eyes were slightly red, and he also smiled and bowed, saying, "Don't take advice as an advice, only freedom and well-being!"

Ji Song was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He held his wife's hand and said, "As a husband, I will spend the rest of my life repaying what I owe you."

"Pfft!"

You Ning suddenly laughed.He couldn't help but laugh and said: "We are an old married couple, isn't it disgusting to say these words? Do you think it's the same as when you were young?"

Ji Song has black lines all over his head. This is sensational. What do you mean?Doesn't it ruin the atmosphere too much?
But You Ning didn't care about this. He looked at Ji Song with contempt and walked away, which made Ji Song feel angry.

In the following days, people came and went in the house, and people kept bringing things to the house. Although they didn't bring much, they were all ordered by Ji Song.

This time I am traveling thousands of miles away, and no one knows what will happen, but it is still necessary to be fully prepared.He didn't want a few people to come back after ten years of traveling thousands of miles to the sea, but something happened here. That would be a shame!

"Send all these things to Wang Xuance and Xiancheng and tell them that these are life-saving things and must not be careless!"

"Also, don't we have a few batches of good horses sent from the grassland at home? Send them all, and you can take care of the other things. Forget about the flashy ones, they are all a burden!"

Ji Song was checking everything while explaining it to the housekeeper. He explained everything in detail and clearly, but he was worried that they would not understand and mess it up.

"Don't worry, sir. I will keep it all in mind, little one, and I will never make a mistake!"

Lao Liu quickly agreed.

While Ji Song was busy, the housekeeper from the eldest princess's house suddenly ran over.

"Mr. Lang, go and have a look. There's going to be a big commotion at home now. If you go too late, the princess and the consort will have to kill the two men!"

The butler said anxiously.

Ji Song frowned: "Tell me slowly, what's going on? Why don't you take action? What's the reason?"

The housekeeper sighed: "What else could it be? Could it be that the two princes were causing trouble outside again? This made the princess angry. She picked up the sword and chased her everywhere. The prince-in-law hurriedly stopped her, but she didn't know why. What's going on, the prince-in-law has been angered again now, and the two of them are chasing the two husbands together. If the family hadn't stopped me, I don't know what would have happened. "

"Princess listens to you the most. Please hurry up and persuade me. If you go late, something will happen."

When Ji Song heard this, he didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly asked the housekeeper, Old Liu, "You have to take care of it first. I have to go there quickly. In addition, I will invite the old lady to the princess mansion."

After saying that, he mounted the war horse brought by the steward of the Princess Mansion and galloped away.

Ji Song was also confused in his heart. Although the Chai Lingwu brothers had always been out of Pingyang's eyes, they never went to the point of shouting and killing. What on earth did these two brothers commit that made Pingyang and Chai Shao do it together?
The Princess Mansion is only a few blocks away from Chongrenfang, but there are too many pedestrians on the road, making it impossible to get up quickly.It wasn't until half an hour later that they arrived at the princess mansion.

Before he even got off his horse, he heard Pingyang's angry voice inside.

"You boy, come down here and see if I don't beat you two bastards to death. Have you grown up? How dare you prepare to run away from home behind my back? Who gave them the courage?"

"Get out of here, or else I will break your legs and run away from home? What evil have I done!"

This is Lao Chai’s voice, but he ran away from home?And two brothers together?Ji Song's face turned dark instantly. These two boys should be beaten, so let me break their legs first and then talk about other things!
