    "Third brother, look at which country that cavalry is from. Why does it look familiar to me?" Li Min woke up Li Ke who was in a daze and pointed at the foreign cavalry that was soaked by the rain and asked.

    "These are the Tubo cavalry. They seem to be protecting an extremely important person." Li Ke looked up depressed and said weakly.  But then he suddenly raised his head again, carefully observed the Tubo cavalry, and then said solemnly: "Looking at the equipment and specifications of this cavalry, as well as the decoration of the big car in the middle, it seems that it should be  The leader of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo, came in person."

    However, as soon as Li Ke finished speaking, he immediately returned to his original weak appearance. He finally rekindled his ambition for the throne, only to be ruthlessly extinguished by Li Min. This kind of blow is almost devastating to anyone.  Sexually, now he has no interest in the outside world at all.

    When Li Min heard that the other party turned out to be the famous Songtsen Gampo in history, he suddenly lost his composure. While looking up and down at the cavalry, he was thinking about the other party's intention to come to the Tang Dynasty?  It is said that after the last battle of Songzhou, Tubo was severely injured by the Tang Dynasty, and it suddenly became more honest. It has been almost two years now. Why did Songtsen Gampo take the risk at this time?  , traveled all the way to Datang?

    "Third brother, please help me think about it. Why did Songtsen Gampo come to our Tang Dynasty at this time? What is his purpose?" Li Min instinctively felt that the other party was coming with bad intentions, and he was probably going to stir up trouble again.  A storm.

    "How do I know this? Maybe it has something to do with the war in Gaochang?" Li Ke obviously lost confidence in his future life.  He looked half-dead, not even bothering to move his brain.

    "Gaochang?" Li Min's eyes lit up after hearing this. He remembered that Gaochang was not very far from Tubo. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty's use of troops against Gaochang frightened Tubo, the defeated general, so Songtsen Gampo came all the way here?  Seeking peace?  Thinking of this possibility, Li Min immediately became excited.  If this is the case, then things will be much easier to handle. After all, it is the other party who comes to ask Datang.  No matter what happens, it won't cause much trouble.

    "Brother Six" Li Ming just wanted to discuss the possibility he had thought of with Li Ke, but when he turned around and saw the other person's half-dead look, he couldn't help but feel angry.  It was a bit funny. He raised his fist and hit the opponent on the shoulder and said: "Sixth brother, you are too useless. Isn't it just a throne? If you can trust me, come with me to the south after the New Year."  , then I will show you a brand new life path, which will definitely be ten thousand times better than your stupid stay in Chang'an!"

    "Liu Lang, please stop making fun of me!" Li Ke obviously thought that Li Min was comforting him, so he did not take the other party's words seriously.

    "Third brother. Although I usually make fools of myself, I have never joked about such a big matter!" Li Min looked serious and did not seem to be joking at all.

    Seeing Li Min's serious look, even Li Ke couldn't help but be stunned.  He also concentrated his attention and asked: "Liu Lang, what are you going to the south for? I heard that Yan Bei, Cui Yu and some people from the Chang'an family will also go with you. Is there any big plan?"

    "Third brother, in fact, the real destination of this trip to the south is Liuqiu Island. When I returned to Chang'an, I sent people there to do some things, but now I have encountered some troubles that I need to deal with personally. As for taking Yan  Bei, Cui Yu and others, of course, also have other considerations." Li Min didn't know how to explain this matter to Li Ke, so he had to say this.

    "Liuqiu Island?" Li Ke frowned immediately when he heard the name. He was also a man of extensive knowledge, but he had only heard about Liuqiu Island. This was because he and  The reason for Li Min's grandfather Yang Guang was that in the former Sui Dynasty, their tyrant grandfather had sent people to Liuqiu Island more than once, so he had an impression of it.

    "Third brother, don't make random guesses about this matter. Anyway, there's nothing to do after the New Year. Just come with me. I will give you a satisfactory answer then. What do you think?" Li Min is now  I was thinking about the people coming from Tibet, and I had no intention of explaining it to Li Ke. I could only reassure him by patting my chest.

    "Okay, as you said, Liulang, we are brothers. Third brother believes in you!" Li Ke finally cheered up and hit Li Min on the shoulder with his fist. If he doesn't even believe his own brother, then  Who else can he trust?

    Li Min was also very relieved to see that the sunny and cheerful third brother was finally back. The two looked at each other and burst out laughing almost at the same time.  At this time, they and the Tibetan cavalry arrived at Anhua Gate at the same time. Maybe they heard the laughter of the two men, and this team of obviously elite cavalry showed a hint of caution.

    The luxurious car sandwiched between the cavalry, the car window was also opened a crack, and a pair of wolf-like eyes followed the laughter.  At this moment, Li Min and Li Ke also looked this way. Their eyes met in the air, and they were all shocked.

    What a pair of ambitious eyes!  Li Min and Li Kehe had such an idea in their minds almost at the same time.  Later generations said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. This statement is absolutely correct. The first thing to look at in the art of observing people is the eyes of the other person. From the eyes of the person in the car, Li Min and Li Ke saw not only tenacity and calmness,  , wisdom, there is also endless ambition, and the other party's eyes are extremely aggressive, making people feel cold all over at the first sight. It seems that there is no secret that can be hidden from the other party. To have such a complicated pair of eyes, it must be  The person sitting in the car must be Songtsen Gampo, the leader of the Tubo Kingdom.

    At the same time, the people in the car slowly closed the window, and murmured in their mouths: "The Tang Dynasty is indeed a place of outstanding people. The two young people I met randomly outside the city were actually like dragons and phoenixes. If these two people are  It is a pity that even in Tubo, he can be a prime minister!"

    Regarding the arrival of this Tibetan cavalry, the Tang government had already received news. Outside the city gate of Anhua Gate, two officials from Honglu Temple were waiting.  However, the Tang Dynasty obviously did not attach much importance to the arrival of the leader of the Tubo Kingdom. After all, in the eyes of the Tang people, Tubo was just a defeated general. Even if the leader of the other party arrived, there was no need to be too grand, so he only sent two  A low-ranking official came to greet him.

    Li Min and Li Ke were not in a hurry to enter the city at this time. They sat on their horses and looked at the Tubo cavalry. They found that the equipment of the other party was pretty good. Everyone was wearing iron armor and the weapons in their hands were all made of iron.  The last time Niu Jinda defeated the Tubo army, he reported to the Ministry of War that the Tubo people were not very powerful, and most of them used bronze weapons, and iron weapons accounted for a very small proportion. If this is true, then  This cavalry is very luxurious in Tubo.

    "These Tubo knights all have fierce expressions and a violent murderous aura all over their bodies. This is somewhat similar to the tiger-headed army on the battlefield. It seems that they are also an army capable of hundreds of battles.  It's just that when this cavalry was marching, the team was not as neat as the Tang Dynasty cavalry. It is estimated that there will be a lack of military discipline.

    When the Tubo people came to the city gate, a Tibetan official came out and handed over the documents to the welcoming officials. After confirming that they were correct, the soldiers guarding the gate let them go.  However, at this time, Li Min sent someone to invite one of the officials who greeted him, and wanted to ask the Tibetan leader about the purpose of coming to the Tang Dynasty.

    The official didn¡¯t notice Li Min just now. When he saw him, he immediately walked over and bowed and saluted: ¡°Zhou Wenju, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, pays homage to His Highness King Wu and His Highness King Qi!¡±

    Honglu Si Cheng is an official of the fifth rank, and he is considered a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty. No wonder Li Min looks familiar to him.  Although the fifth-rank official was nothing in the eyes of Li Min and Li Ke, they looked at the other party's magnanimity and showed no sign of groveling in front of them, so their brothers did not dare to neglect them. They threw their saddles and dismounted and returned the favor: "Zhou Si Cheng  No need to be polite!"

    After the two parties had finished the ceremony, Li Min went straight to the topic and asked: "Zhou Sicheng, this time the Tibetans are visiting, but is their leader Songtsan Gampo coming in person?"

    "His Royal Highness, King Qi, has good eyesight. This time, the Lord of Tubo is indeed here in person!" Zhou Wenju replied with a smile.

    "Haha, I guess they must have come because of the Gaochang incident, right?" At this time, Li Ke also smiled.

    "His Royal Highness King Wu is right. Our Tang Dynasty pacified Gaochang in one fell swoop, and also occupied the Khan City of the Western Turks. This move not only shocked the countries in the Western Regions, but also made Tibet, which was close at hand, feel uneasy. Some time ago  Our Honglu Temple has received news of dozens of small countries entering the dynasty, and Tubo moved the fastest. When Gaochang was first established, the leader of the Tubo Kingdom set off for our Tang Dynasty, so he was the first to arrive in Chang'an!" Zhou Wenju  When he spoke, his face was filled with the demeanor of a great nation.

    Honglu Temple was originally in charge of diplomacy, and as diplomats of the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Wenju and the others were undoubtedly very happy, because now the Tang Dynasty's national power was at its peak, and its foreign wars were fought in succession, and there were no decent opponents at all, so  They, the officials in charge of diplomacy, always looked awesome when facing envoys from other countries. This was much luckier than those Chinese diplomats in later generations.

    Hearing that many small countries in the Western Regions were going to Chang'an to pay tribute, Li Min was moved. If the envoys from these small countries could arrive in Chang'an before the Winter Games, they could be invited to participate in the competition. In this way, not only could there be more athletes  number of people, and it can further enhance the influence of the games.

    Just when Li Min was complacent about his idea, he heard Zhou Wenju speak again: "Your Highnesses, as far as I know, the leader of the Tubo Kingdom came here this time not only to repair the relationship between the two countries, but also to reunite the old things.  Ti, ask your majesty for a princess to be your wife!"
