Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 136: Your Highness Princess, you are captured!

Princess Taiping nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will go with you now."

According to the agreement between the two parties, after completing the negotiations in Lingzhou, the contract needs to be taken to Heisha City and signed by the Turkic Khan in person before it can take effect.

Therefore, Princess Taiping did not think much and ordered Wei Peng to gather hundreds of soldiers and horses to prepare to follow Princess Yinzhu to Heisha City.

When Princess Taiping was about to board the carriage, Fan Xin stood in front of the carriage.

"Fan Xin, you?" Princess Taiping looked puzzled.

"Your Highness, you are a rich man and I am a little worried about going to the Turks alone. Let me go." Fan Xin said lightly.

So smooth!
He originally thought that the Turks would send troops to attack Khitan as a bargaining chip to blackmail Datang until they achieved their goal.

Unexpectedly, the Turkic princess just mentioned it casually and lowered the conditions to the point of being ignored.

When things go wrong, there must be a monster. He doesn't believe that Mo Chui and his daughter would be so kind and unconditionally help the Tang Dynasty to eliminate the Khitan.

So when he saw the Turks inviting Princess Taiping to go there alone, he felt vaguely uneasy for some reason.

Sensing Fan Xin's worry, Princess Taiping stroked her hair and smiled.

"Going to Black Sand City to sign the contract is something we have discussed before. I will be back in a few days, so don't worry."

"Just stay in Lingzhou and wait for the good news from me."

After that, he boarded the luxurious carriage and ordered the guards to march towards Black Sand City.

Before leaving, Princess Yinzhu took a deep look at Fan Xin.

"General Fan, we will see you later."

After saying this, he followed with two thousand Turkic cavalry.

Looking at the vast team, Fan Xin shook his head and turned back to the cabin to call Cao Baibai and Huba into the room.

"This is the topographic map drawn by Zhang Huan and Li Lang in Black Sand City. After you find the whereabouts of the princess, just follow the locations marked on it."

"Remember not to attract the attention of the Turks!"

"Don't worry, Shao Qing, brothers promise to open the underground tunnel as quickly as possible."

Cao Baibai and Huba clasped their fists and led dozens of Mojin captains toward Heisha City.

Fan Xin said to Wen Kai after watching everyone disappear into the street.

"The main roads in and out of Lingzhou will be blocked from now on, and heavy troops will be deployed to guard each checkpoint. At the same time, the movements of the Turkic army will be closely monitored."

"As soon as you find anything, report it to me and have you deposed!"

Wen Kai was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "You mean the Turks will turn their backs and take the opportunity to attack Lingzhou?"

Fan Xin sighed and looked into the vast desert and said, "Those who are not of my race must have different minds. I have to be careful..."

……

"Your Highness, there are Turkic people's tents ahead, please bear with me a little longer." Wei Peng saw Princess Taiping coughing so hard that she rode over and said.

After hearing this, Princess Taiping looked out the window and sighed with a tired expression.

If she had known that the Turkic territory was so bad, she would have just sent someone here.

As time passed, the team gradually entered a city gate built of stone.

When they arrived at Heisha City, the streets immediately became lively. Some Turkic people with gray-green eyes looked at the Tang team with curiosity in their eyes.

This is the first time they have seen Tang people after living in Black Sand City for so long.

"Your Highness, in front of us is the tent of our Turks' teeth." Princess Yinzhu said, pointing to the three blue and white halal buildings in front of her.

"Huh, we're finally here." Princess Taiping dusted off her palace skirt and stepped out of the carriage.

Because the news had been received in advance, the door of the Yazhang was open at this time, with dozens of fully armed Turkic guards standing on both sides.

A lean Turkic man came up to him on the steps and laughed.

"Beautiful Princess of the Tang Dynasty, this Khan has finally waited for you."

"Taiping has met Mo Chui Khan." Princess Taiping bowed slightly and took out the contract text from her sleeve and handed it to the Turkic man who came over.

"Great Khan, this is the negotiation text. Please stamp it with your own seal."

Unexpectedly, Mo Chui showed a joking smile: "No, no, no, this Khan never signs a contract with a loser."

"Your Highness, you are captured!"

As soon as the words fell, a large number of Turkic soldiers suddenly appeared around the tent, surrounding Princess Taiping and her party. Judging from the posture, it was obvious that they had been planned for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Wei Peng's expression changed and he immediately pulled out his sword and stood in front of him.

"Protect Her Royal Highness!"

rub rub.

Three hundred thousand cattle guards drew their sabers and faced the Turkic soldiers around them.

Princess Taiping stared at Mo Shui with a livid face and said, "What do you mean? Aren't you afraid of causing a war between the two countries?"

Mo Chuo laughed: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. Now your country is busy dealing with the Tubo and Khitan people. How can you take care of us Turks."

"Come on, take Princess Taiping into the tent and imprison her. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

The Qianniu Guards who followed were all noble men who had never seen such a scene before. When they saw that the Turks were murderous, they quickly put down their weapons and surrendered. Wei Peng was so angry that he cursed.

Finally, due to the situation, the group of people was imprisoned in the prison inside the tent.

After dealing with the Tang army, Princess Yinzhu hesitated and said: "Father, the Tang Dynasty's national power is still at its peak. It is not wise for you to openly detain the princess."

The smile on Mo Chuo's face disappeared and he touched her head.

"Father Khan is just giving Datang a warning. He will send someone to Lingzhou to inform the Lingzhou government that the previous negotiations are invalid."

"The Princess of the Tang Dynasty who wants to rescue them will come to Black Sand City to negotiate with Ben Khan in person." "I want to see if these Han people dare to step into this place of death!" At the end of the sentence, Mo Chui's eyes flashed. A touch of coldness.

"The boy knows."

Princess Yinzhu put her right hand on her chest and saluted, calling two Turkic soldiers to speak to them.

"You two immediately go to Lingzhou Xingyuan and tell the Han officials there that if you want to rescue the Princess of Tang Dynasty, come to Heisha City to negotiate in person!"

"You are not allowed to bring your subordinates and troops, otherwise you will have to collect the body of Princess Taiping."

"Yes, princess!" Two Turkic soldiers boarded their horses and headed towards Lingzhou.

……

Time flies to the eighth day of March, and it has been six days since Princess Taiping left for Black Sand City.

At first, the officials of the Tang Dynasty did not take it seriously, thinking that Her Highness the Princess wanted to rest in Black Sand City for a few days.

But the arrival of two Turkic soldiers made everyone realize that something big had happened.

"Listen, you Han people, our Great Khan has said that the previous negotiations are invalid. If you want to rescue Princess Taiping, you must go to Black Sand City to negotiate alone!"

"Otherwise, just wait until Princess Taiping collects her body!"

As soon as these words came out, all Tang officials present were filled with indignation and insulted the Turks for their betrayal.

Facing the anger of the crowd, the two Turkic soldiers smiled contemptuously.

"Listen, you only have seven days. Once the seven days are over, more than [-] people will die!"

"drive!"

Looking at the backs of the Turkic soldiers, all the officials looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Xue Huaiyi and Fan Xin.

"Master Xue, you have led soldiers before and are proficient in Buddhist and magical arts."

"Why don't you go and rescue Her Highness the Princess?"

"Yes, Master Xue, you have the highest status here, and I have to count on you to turn the tide at critical moments."

Normally, Xue Huaiyi would naturally be willing to listen to people's praise.

But what the hell is it now? Aren’t you going to Black Sand City to die in a hurry?
He, Xue Huaiyi, had finally managed to get ahead in his life, how could he ruin his bright future for a princess?

However, it is not good to refuse in public in public. If the news reaches the ears of the court afterwards, it will inevitably cause public outrage.

Just cough.

"As the deposed deputy envoy, the young monk is naturally duty-bound to save Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"When you go back, put on your armor and go to Black Sand City to negotiate with the Turkic Khan in person."

"Hmph, you dare to detain me, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, you really don't want to live or die!" He said, jumping off the horse and waving his hands.

Just when everyone was paying respect, the two young monks beside Xue Huaiyi suddenly shouted.

"Master Abbot, what's wrong with you?"

"Come quickly, Master Xue is suffering from hemorrhoids and beriberi!"

Before everyone could come to their senses, several Xiao Heshan trotted into the room carrying Xue Huaiyi on their shoulders, not looking back no matter how they called.

Seeing that Xue Huaiyi and several noble disciples had no hope, Wen Kai walked up to Fan Xin bravely.

"Fan Shaoqing, the princess's capture is related to the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. How about we write to the court together to request reinforcements."

In his opinion, not even an eminent monk like Xue Huaiyi dared to go to Black Sand City to negotiate alone, let alone a young man like Fan Xin.

However, just as everyone was about to disperse worriedly, a hand patted Wen Kai's shoulder.

At the same time, there was a clanging sound between heaven and earth.

"We have millions of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, but a mere Turk dares to detain the princess of our dynasty."

"If I don't go, wouldn't it make the children of Mobei laugh at me for saying that this huge country has no real men?"

“Come here, prepare a coffin and half a stick of incense before setting off!
After saying this, Fan Xin walked into the room with a flick of his sleeves and robe. Looking at his decisive back, all the officials present had red eyes.

If a man is determined to die, why should he be afraid of death outside the wall?
What is a real man? This is it!
When the dark coffin was loaded onto the carriage, the closed door opened.

Fan Xin, dressed in white plain clothes, walked out, followed by three guards in the same attire.

The group of people walked towards the carriage like loyal martyrs who sacrificed their lives generously.

Everyone they passed along the way, including Wen Kai, knelt down and bowed their heads, shouting loudly.

"I respectfully send you off to Fan Shaoqing!"

Amidst the rumbling sound, Fan Xin boarded the carriage and touched a handful of explosives tied to his body and sighed softly.

Then he looked at Xiaoliu and Zhang Huan, and Li Lang said with complicated expressions.

"I can go alone, there is no need for you to accompany me to die."

"Master, Liuzi will be wherever you are. I will follow you for the rest of my life." Liuzi scratched his head and smiled, seeing that he also had explosives tied to his body.

"Shao Qing, you don't need to say anything. We soldiers also have the responsibility to defend the dignity of the country." Zhang Huan said.

Seeing that the three of them were determined to risk their lives with him, Fan Xin suddenly felt extremely proud.

"Okay, brothers, get in the car!"

"Let's go meet those ferocious Turks for a while!"

"Let's see if it's their bones that are stronger, or the explosives on our bodies that are stronger!"

"drive!"
