Following a small mountain path, Li Hong walked slowly down the road with his feet up and down. As he approached the fire, he put the eye mask on his left eye and tightened his tight fur.
There is no way, the temperature difference between day and night here is so big that it suddenly feels like winter.
Looking with one eye, Lu Dongzan was also looking at him with a smile, their eyes facing each other. Although they were separated by a fire, every detail of the expressions on each other's faces could be seen clearly.
He looked at a handsome young man with a wicked smile on his face, looking at him with a smile. Instead of stopping opposite the fire, he walked to the opposite side of him in a swaggering manner.
Li Hong looked at Lu Dongzan condescendingly. He was not even interested in taking a look at Chisang Yangdun, who was standing aside and glaring at him with angry eyes.
At Li Hong's signal, Quan Yi neatly placed the roasted fat sheep, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, between Li Hong and Lu Dongzan.
Li Hong took out a sharp silver knife and threw it to Lu Dongzan casually.
The old Lu Dongzan watched the silver light flash in Li Hong's hand and quickly caught the sharp knife, looking at the delicate patterns on it.
He shook his head helplessly and smiled. This knife was exclusively used by the Tubo royal family. It had just been robbed by a group of thieves some time ago. At this time, the emerald on the handle of the dagger had been dug out.
"Isn't it a pity that there is wine but no meat? Is that highland barley wine? I heard it is very strong. Tang people rarely drink such strong wine." Li Hong sat down opposite Lu Dongzan and asked across the fat sheep.
"Well, only real men can drink this wine. Without the bravery of Tang people, it will naturally not taste good." Lu Dongzan was not polite when holding a dagger, and he cut the fat leg of lamb with a skillful knife The next piece of thin meat, dripping with oily gravy, went into your mouth easily.
Li Hong didn't refute, just looked at Lu Dongzan quietly, enjoying the mutton with his eyes closed, until his throat moved, he bit the mutton into pieces and swallowed it into his stomach, then opened his eyes and said: "Not bad, the meat is tender and delicious, rare Kung Fu."
Lu Dongzan personally filled Li Hong's empty glass with highland barley wine. Under the light of the fire, the highland barley wine shone charmingly in the precious glass.
As soon as Li Hong picked up the cup, a trace of nervousness flashed across Quan Yi's face, which was naturally caught by the cunning Lu Dongzan.
Holding the bright goblet, Li Hong shook it a few times as if drinking red wine, then raised his head without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp: "Ha... not bad, the potency is still a little bit off."
Lu Dongzan's expression was obviously stiff. He didn't expect that this young man drank it all in one gulp, but he still had more to drink. Judging from his expression and temperament, it was obvious that there was a better wine stronger than this one.
"Oh? So I'm going to have a taste of it." Lu Dongzan said.
Chisang Yangton watched Li Hong drink it all without hesitation, and his heart was full of admiration.
To be able to have such courage and courage in the face of the enemy is not something that just anyone can match.
But when he saw that the prime minister had already stretched out his hand, holding up the cup, and wanted to drink the wine from the young man's hand, he suddenly became as nervous as Quan Yi just now.
"Then you first ask the dog behind you to see if he dares to let you drink." Li Hong poured himself a glass first and said without raising his head.
"You... are presumptuous." Chisang Yangden naturally understood who the dog in this young man's mouth was, and immediately said angrily.
The old Lu Dongzan laughed indifferently, stretched out his hand to stop Chi Sang Yang Dun's attack, and said: "What a sharp mouth, Mr. Master, I am famous for being a good drinker. If I meet a good drinker, If you don’t have a taste of wine, you will die without peace of mind.”
Li Hong waved his hand, then picked up the cup and took a sip. Quan Yi took the wine jar and filled Lu Dongzan with a full cup of high-quality Lanling wine.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, good wine! Good wine! Good wine! It's fragrant and has a mellow taste, but it's the best wine... Ahem, cough, cough." Lu Dongzan took a deep sip, and there were traces of blood on his gray beard. A drop of white wine hangs, as crystal clear as dewdrops.
Under the cold night, Lu Dongzan's face became more and more rosy. He had tasted a lot of Lanling wine in the past, and there were many in the Tubo royal family, but this was the first time for him to drink such a powerful Lanling wine as today. arrive.
It was as if a fire snake shot straight down from his throat. His stomach was still burning at this moment, but soon he felt comfortable and warm all over his body, and his whole body seemed to be several years younger.
Li Hong drank the wine leisurely, and raised his glass with Lu Dongzan from time to time. The old man and the young man stopped talking and just tasted the mutton and wine.
Chisang Yangdun and Quan Yi were standing behind them, staring closely at each other's hands. As long as the other party made the slightest move, they would immediately receive a thunderous strike from the other one.
Just when Quan Yi and Chisang Yangdun were about to stare at the ground, they heard Lu Dongzan say lightly: "Conditions."
Li Hong did not answer, chewing the mutton in his mouth, and then raised his glass to Lu Dongzan. Lu Dongzan also raised his glass, and the two of them took another sip at the same time.
A noble glass, a crude clay cup, formed a striking contrast on either side of the roasted lamb.
The white fur on his body was naturally much more expensive than Lu Dongzan's rough leather robe.
"First, the people leave and the goods stay. Second, the people and goods stay." Li Hong took out a silk handkerchief, wiped the grease on his hands, and said calmly and relaxedly.
"You don't overestimate your capabilities, just rely on you? Do you really think that our Tibetan warriors will be afraid of you?" Chisang Yangton shouted angrily.
This young man is too arrogant and does not take the Prime Minister and Tubo seriously. Do you think that by secretly and shamelessly shooting more than a hundred of us, he thinks that he is invincible in the Western Regions!
Li Hong didn't even have the time to raise his eyes to look at him, he just looked at the thoughtful Lu Dongzan quietly.
"The general trend in the Western Region is divided into three families, Tubo, Baiyi Dashi, and Tang Dynasty. Are you not afraid of being so aggressive and asking the other two families to unite to fight against the enemy?" Lu Dongzan said slowly, his old eyes bright and wise.
"When Duke Zhou spits out his blessings, the world will return to its heart." Li Hong looked at Lu Dongzan quietly and said.
"The courage and ambition are so obvious." Lu Dongzan gave a thumbs up and said boldly: "Back then, Cao and Bei cooked wine and talked about heroes. Today, the old man and the young master roast sheep and talk about the Western Regions, but they don't know that the young master is like this. Such ambitions, will the heroes of the Western Regions agree with them?"
"The knife in your hand has the final say. As long as the knife is sharp enough and thirsty for blood, it is enough. Times make heroes. The period of peace in the Tang Dynasty lasted too long, otherwise Dafeichuan would not have been occupied. The water and grass are plump, the cattle and sheep are strong, The feudal princes and prime ministers are happy in life, but even if you beat a dog, you have to look at the master. Now the heroes of the Western Regions need to wake up and see clearly that the Tang Dynasty is still the overlord here, the only overlord. " Li Hong looked at the mountains in front of him, Bai Qi. I don’t know where he went, this guy is getting more and more unruly.
The promise to stand up and cheer was gone in the blink of an eye. However, if he could find a pack of wolves to rush into the camel caravan, he would be able to accomplish a major event, enough to shock the Western Regions, and even major events in Bai Yi Dashi, Tubo, and the Tang Dynasty.
"Okay, since ancient times, heroes have been born young, and I have always admired them. But today, what if this guy, this person, and this old guy all want to bring back Tubo?" Lu Dongzan sat on the floor, and Li Hong sat on a chair. Although the two of them were taller and older, Low, but in terms of momentum, Lu Dongzan is not weak at all.
"You can try, but the consequences will be much more serious than you think." Li Hong took the silk handkerchief and wiped the silver knife in his hand. This knife also belonged to the Tubo people and was robbed by him.
"There are very few heroes in the world because many people died before they became heroes, and only a few people can become heroes. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, etc. are considered heroes, that is I wonder who you think you can surpass?" There was a cold light in Lu Dongzan's wise eyes.
"In the Western Region, he will be remembered by future generations just like the last Zanpu in Tubo, whether he becomes a god or a demon. This world can only have one master and one person's mark!" Li Hong's stern face was full of emotions. Arrogant domineering.
"What a loud tone!" Chisang Yangton retorted disdainfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly hit the tip of his toe from an unknown direction. Only a short section at the back of the entire arrow was left, and the rest was buried in the soil mixed with earth and rocks.
"You think these fires can stop the range of our arrows? It's easy to kill you!" Li Hong stood up, and Lu Dongzan also stood up slowly.
There was a bit of embarrassment on the old face. He didn't expect this young man to be so sophisticated.
These fires seemed to be just to light up the surrounding night. In fact, these fires covered the bow and arrow range of the best Tibetan warriors. The purpose was to make it impossible for people to hide in the dark and sneak attacks.
But I didn't expect that even so, I couldn't escape the range of others.
Chisang Yangden's back felt a little cold. The arrow that sank into the ground under his feet was enough to prove that the arrow's power was unimaginable. If it had hit him, he would have died a long time ago.
At this time, he felt that the death of those more than a hundred warriors was not unfair at all.
"Young Master, who are you? The son of a general? A relative of the emperor? Or the current Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty?" Lu Dongzan's old eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Li Hong scratched his blindfold unconsciously. It was so awkward that he simply took it off. Bai Qi's black figure was seen disappearing from the farthest fire.
"So the Prime Minister has made a decision?" Li Hong asked without answering.
"Yes, Lao Chan has been through many years of life and death, and he is able to survive to this day, not only because Lao Chan has the protection of Zanpu, but also because of Lao Chan's wisdom, which has prevented Tubo from being corroded by the Tang Dynasty."
"Bite back, have you finished giving your last words?"
"Aren't you afraid that there are soldiers and horses from Big and Little Bolu behind your people? Half of them are attached to Tubo."
"Nothing in this world can be completely guaranteed. The stronger your strength, the stronger your luck will be."
After Li Hong finished speaking, the arrow arrived. Lu Dongzan looked at Li Hong's bloodthirsty eyes in disbelief...
