0650 The integrity is still there, the past is not happy
When Guo Yuanzhen and his party captured the king of the country, two thick smoke pillars also rose from the peaks that were responsible for watching the wind and the momentum in the distance.
So before I could interrogate again, Guo Yuanzhen pinched the fat neck of the king of the country and said in a harsh voice in Tubo: "The Fan army has already returned. If you don't want to die, just give me a hiding place! Don't tell me you don't have it. My eyes can penetrate people's hearts. If you want to penetrate the Fan camp, you will never carry so many precious goods!"
While he was talking, he raised his leg and kicked over a box near the left. Many gold and silver objects suddenly rolled out of the box. The craftsmanship may not be exquisite, but the treasure light is charming.
It has to be said that although the situation in the Tibetan area is chaotic and the local native tribes are not strong overall, they are really rich. Otherwise, it would be difficult to serve as a transit station for the Tang-Tibet trade for many years with the advantage of the territory alone.
"You, are you from the French or Tang dynasties? I am protected by the gods of mountains and rivers, and enjoy the offerings of this kind of mountains and rivers. Kill me and harm me and will be subject to the gods..."
The king of the country attached also replied in Tubo tremblingly, but he was filled with trembling eyes.
"I am a hero of the Tang family, handsome and majestic, and I don't have any appearance of a thief! The great fortune of the Tang Dynasty protects everyone, how could I be afraid of your mere revenge? I will answer the question quickly, and there is another nonsense to kill you directly on the spot!"
Guo Yuanzhen pinched the king's neck and knocked his head hard, without any respect.
"Yes, yes! From here, we traveled westward and crossed two hills. There was a manor in my place, which was covered by the ridges on both sides. The foreign army did not know..."
The king of the Fuguo hugged his head and said bitterly, but then his eyes turned and said in a little embarrassed manner: "But that manor is where my descendants and family members avoid disasters in times of danger. It is not large. If the heroes have too many disciples, they may not be able to enter all..."
"Ha, I can break through the capital of your foreign kings with just a few dozen heroes in front of me. Since I have a place to hide, I will go on the road immediately and don't make unnecessary tests! When I reach this state, I will not be afraid of death. If you think delaying time can make the foreign soldiers come to rescue me, I will naturally take you, the local king, before I die!"
Hearing Guo Yuanzhen bluntly saying that there was no team of troops in the back, the king of the country first glared at him and refused to believe it, but after a moment he turned into a tangled and bitter look, and only sighed at Guo Yuanzhen: "I admire you! I am worthy of being a warrior of the Central Heavenly Kingdom. If there are such loyal, brave and powerful soldiers in our country, how could I be willing to become a plaything for the foreign country!"
The earth king was brought in by Guo Yuanzhen and pointed out the way. However, seeing that Guo Yuanzhen ignored the wealth he brought out of the manor, he couldn't help but look sad again.
His own guards have been scattered by these wolves and tigers. These people are unwilling to help him carry the goods. How much can he take with him? What he can escape in times of crisis and pick him up and carry with him is naturally the most precious goods accumulated over the years, and it is really painful to abandon them.
So the local king plucked up the courage to grab it with both hands and ordered the nobles of the affiliated country who were escorted by Guo Yuanzhen and others to try their best to get it.
Guo Yuanzhen did not stop this. After all, this trouble was not really about killing the royal family with the king. His subsequent plan still requires the cooperation of the local king, so he left some time for these nobles with the king.
At the same time, in line with the principle of not leaving the empty space, Guo Yuanzhen also instructed his entourage to choose some small treasures to carry with him without affecting his actions. He is not a clean and flawless personality. He can be brave and enterprising in major matters, but not even be careless in minor matters.
A quarter of an hour later, with Guo Yuanzhen shouting, his entourage immediately stopped moving, jumped three times on the spot and lined up in a row. Even if some rare objects fell, they ignored them and stopped picking them up.
The group of nobles from the country were waiting to continue to pick them up, but when Guo Yuanzhen and others entered this posture, they all stopped quickly. Then, under the leadership of the king, they walked straight into the valley.
On the way, the wives and daughters of several kings who were attached to the country were weak after all. Even if there were horses to carry, they still delayed their journey when they rushed forward.
At this moment, before Guo Yuanzhen and others could express their dissatisfaction, the king of the supporting country had shouted repeatedly, but seeing that the speed of these female relatives had not increased, he turned over and dismounted, walked to several female relatives and dragged down the horse, took out a short blade from his sleeve, and slashed one by one and then went on the horse without changing his face.
"It made the heroes of Tang Dynasty laugh, but my small country has a small strength and it is not easy to survive. There is nothing that cannot be abandoned. I am not old. If I can survive this disaster, there are still women in the clan that can be recruited and have children. It is not worth dragging down the journey and losing my life for these people."
Seeing Guo Yuanzhen looking at him frequently, the king of the country strongly squeezed out a smile and explained a little.
When Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel speechless, but he did not use Chinese ethics to view these barbarian customs. Dragons and phoenixes fly, each with their own ways.
The group of people trekked along the mountains, and the direction changed uncertainly, but they could barely walk along the way.
While rushing to the road, Guo Yuanzhen forced to remember some obvious mountain signs along the way. His sense of direction and memory of the journey were very strong, which was also a kind of talent. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to understand the terrain and layout around Daowu City so clearly before.
In the first half of the journey, the group could still vaguely hear the echo of people fighting between the peaks and ridges from Daowu City, but gradually, the sound disappeared.
After wading through a valley, Guo Yuanzhen suddenly rushed forward. The blade pointed at the earth king who was responsible for guiding the way and said angrily: "This realm has been walking half an hour ago, but it was in Shanyin at that time, and now it is in Shanyang!"
While speaking, he looked up at the outline of the mountain top that looked like a halberd.
When the king of the Fuguo heard this, his face changed a little, and then he said, "It is really admirable that a hero can understand the way. But here the valley is already twisted and turns, and the mountain peaks are cliffs, so he can only walk in the valley."
When Guo Yuanzhen heard this explanation, his face calmed down a little and he signaled to continue walking.
After moving forward in such a winding and twists, the group didn't know how far away from Daowu City in the evening.
But before dark, I arrived near a naturally formed cave. The cave was huddled inside and the outside was dry. Even on the stone platform at a high place, some clothes and fresh food were stored, which was enough for more than a hundred people to eat.
It can be seen that the king of the supporting country was meticulous and attentive when arranging this retreat, and he was also very secretive, because even the commander who led Guo Yuanzhen and others to chase the king here was surprised.
When he took out the food and had a meal on the ground, the king of the country looked at his guard and sneered: "You betray the king, kill my son with your hand, and betrayed my life for yourself. Now there are heroes of the Tang Kingdom to protect you, and I will not cure you. But from now on, as long as you and your blood relatives stay in Dazang, I will kill you!"
"Be more at ease!"
Guo Yuanzhen shouted angrily while slapping the mosquitoes near.
The king of the Fuguo Kingdom was still ruthless just now, but after hearing Guo Yuanzhen's scolding, he immediately changed into a flattering smile, and said diligently: "There are all kinds of inconveniences in the mountains and forests. Please be patient. When I arrive at the manor where I hide, my food and accommodation will be greatly improved."
Guo Yuanzhen really had nothing to say about such a living treasure. He was very vicious to his wife and daughter, but he was very attentive to his enemies. It was no wonder that after Tubo annexed the Tibetan area, despite constant rebellions in the area, he still left this puppet.
After the meal, night fell, and the group did not dare to make fires in the mountains and forests, and even horses were arranged in a cave several miles away from this cave.
The group lie down on the spot. In order to prevent the earth king from escaping or causing trouble, Guo Yuanzhen directly tied it tightly with him. Of course, the earth king's weapon, including gold and silver jewelry, was all plundered. If it weren't for the fat body, it was too disgusting to the appetite, Guo Yuanzhen even wanted to remove his clothes and attract the disturbing mosquitoes for himself.
After a drastic change, the Tu Wang naturally couldn't sleep at night, so he whispered to Guo Yuanzhen: "Why did the hero attack our country? Are you an envoy sent by the Tang Dynasty? Because our country cut off its offerings and surrendered to Tubo, we came to attack? Alas, our country was also in a dilemma. We were originally in a stable life, and we were honored to be a vassal in China in the early years. But afterwards, we stopped news. Although there were constant exchanges between Tang people, we were only merchants. We did not see the officials from Tang Dynasty coming to ask, and we were forced by Tubo again..."
Not to mention the naming king, Guo Yuanzhen fell asleep after falling down. During this period, he was full of worries and worried about it. Today, he was really unable to hold on.
The Tu King heard the sound of snoring in his ears smoothly, and felt bored. He tentatively stretched out his hand, then touched a rough scabbard, and a low question sounded in his ear: "What are you touching?"
A Tang army soldier sat cross-legged with a knife on the side. Although he was in the cave where he could not see his five fingers, he still stared at the black shadow of the earth king's body.
Rushi said nothing all night, and the next morning everyone finished their meal and continued on the road. Rushi drove the mountain road for two days in a row before reaching the hiding place mentioned by the Earth King.
When Guo Yuanzhen looked around, he suddenly realized that they had been rushing for three days and the last place they arrived was in the valley behind several peaks on the back of the cliff of the Fengling cliff of the foreign troops outside Daowu City! If the ups and downs of the Fengling cliff were ignored and only the straight line distance was considered, it would probably be more than twenty miles.
When he saw Guo Yuanzhen's face was surprised, the king of the country raised his eyebrows at him proudly and showed off his brilliant plans.
Guo Yuanzhen can only sigh that if people give up their integrity, they can only be happy. He used to think that he was very happy, but after seeing this earth king, he realized that he was not really happy before.
The manor is narrow and long, and there are dozens of slaves who belong to the royal family who live in the year round, and they are like a paradise. It is indeed much more comfortable to live in bamboo buildings beside the mountains than caves.
But even if Guo Yuanzhen wants to be comfortable, he will not come to this remote mountain. After a short rest, he brought the earth king into the bamboo building and said seriously: "Now it's time to talk about it. What is the purpose of my trip? Don't think that being driven out of the capital is a danger to you. If you can help me succeed, even the Tang Dynasty can help you restore your country!"
When the king of the Fuguo heard this, he suddenly widened his eyes and his face flushed. I don’t know if he was really expecting it or deliberately acting, but in short, he was so excited that Guo Yuanzhen moved slightly to the window of the bamboo building to prevent this guy from rushing up and doing any disgusting actions.
"I have been waiting for a long time this day! I know that the Celestial Empire will not abandon my vassal state, and I still have tributes and letters to the country to be collected!"
While speaking, the king of the Fuguo took out an old silk book from his side and held it to Guo Yuanzhen with sincere expressions.
After hearing this, Guo Yuanzhen was surprised. He looked down and threw the silk book on the ground, and said in a muffled voice: "This is the former Sui seal book, and it has nothing to do with my Tang Dynasty!"
