On the way back to Daoguan, Cui Po was still recalling what the woman told him. It turned out that the woman's tribe lived in Kangyanchuan on the Lancang River on the Tubo Plateau for generations. A long time ago, they established their own country, "Sun Bo", which is also the daughter country called the Tang people. This small country has been the king for generations. There are two kings. The big ones call it king, and the small ones call it Xiao Wang. The big king died and the little king was his successor. He valued women but looked down on her husband. The country was assisted by female officials named "Gao Ba" to handle state affairs.

Decades ago, as the Tubo tribe became increasingly powerful, it finally annexed this peaceful country. The former Sun Bo country also became one of the six yak tribes of Tubo. However, the Kangyanchuan people who "love freedom as much as the wind" were not willing to be oppressed by the slavery of the Tubo upper class nobles, and were always trying to restore the country. The girl was the deputy leader of the yak tribe, and was also the current little king. The old woman and the young man were one of the "Gaoba" and the commander general of the tribe.

The people of Kangyanchuan knew that relying on their own strength was absolutely impossible to restore the country, so they turned their attention to the only Tang Dynasty that had the power to help them. In their thoughts, Tubo took advantage of the Tang Dynasty during the Anshi Rebellion, and then repeatedly captured the states west of Tang Longban, plundered wealth and population. In the first year of Baoying, Chang'an was captured, and the rebellion of the pseudo-Emperor, who forced the son of the country to flee in a hurry and established the pseudo-Emperor, had already formed a blood feud with the Tang Dynasty. This kind of alliance between inside and outside was bound to be a natural result.

However, they met the emperor who advocated "combination is the most important". His Majesty, who was deeply disgusted with war and was facing the rebellion of the Four Jiedus in Hebei in China, even without even meeting them, they flatly rejected their request. Helplessly, they could only pin their hopes on the current prince who had a humiliating hatred with Tubo. However, the reality disappointed them again. In the eyes of the prince and his staff, this tribe of the unchanged people was too small and did not have much value to utilize. Instead, it may intensify the precarious relationship with Tubo again. Therefore, they still received cold treatment and spent countless gold and silk. All they received was some news that was irrelevant to the overall situation.

However, today's encounter with Cui Po made the disappointed envoys of Kang Yanchuan see a hazy glow. As a family, they are the relatives of the prince who are the most important aides around the prince, they are also appreciated by the prince himself and have extraordinary talent. Such a person will inevitably be the prince who is about to succeed to the throne and is eager to reappear with the heroic style of the Tang Dynasty. Then perhaps he may become the spokesperson for the interests of Kang Yanchuan people in the Tang court, and change their current dilemma of being isolated and helpless and being treated coldly. Therefore, today's meeting finally became an exchange of interests. Kang Yanchuan people promised to provide the greatest financial and intelligence support for Cui Po's political status. Cui Po needed to change the traditional policy of the Tang Dynasty's "harmony is the most important" in Tubo, with marriage and alliance as the form, and at the right time, promote the Tang Dynasty's attack on Tubo, giving Kang Yanchuan people the opportunity to restore the country.

The whole process of the negotiation was listening to Xiao Wang's speech in a magnetic voice, and her opponent suddenly turned into a stone Buddha in her eyes. She didn't even know how this opponent, who looked so elegant, had such good patience. She could not speak for an hour. To be more precise, this meeting was just a personal performance with her as the protagonist. It was not a warm applause, but a profound smile. However, in Xiao Wang's eyes, this smile no longer had the warmth of the moment, and became so hateful and evil. The only thing she could comfort herself was, "Whoever is lighter than promises, he will be lighter than promises!"

"Don't ask if you are a marquis, one general's success will be broken. Politics, politics, it's still here!" Cui Po said slightly to himself ignoring Daxu's inquiring gaze beside him. The next moment he raised his head and saw the sunset light slowly flowing through the towering Daming Palace from afar. The millions of flying eaves where the highest power center of the Tang Dynasty were covered with a faint red light. From a distance, it looked so vividly like a dripping blood.

Back to Chongtang Temple, Cui Po no longer made jokes with Daoxu, who was more and more smiling. When he returned to his yard, he read the book with the light. In just one night, he couldn't turn over the book even a page. Cui Po felt a lot of thoughts in his mind. The more he wanted to tear it away, the deeper it became. Finally, he could only sigh, and then he went to bed.

The next day, Cui Po got up a little late and finished his clothes. While he was moving his hands and feet in the yard, a small Taoist boy walked in with Meng Jiao.

Cui Po was surprised and went forward and said, "Brother Dongye, why did you come here long ago?"

"I went to Han Hong's house to have a booking early today. I wanted to see this person, but I didn't want to see him. When I came back, I passed by here, so I took a look at the Eleven Lang." Meng Jiao replied readily

"That Han Hong?" Cui Po asked curiously.

"It's Han Hong who is 'Flowers Flying Everywhere in Spring City'! He is one of the ten talented men. His name still has its origin. But today I met this allusion, which is really interesting." Meng Jiao said in the end, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, let's hear it"

"Speaking of this, there are two Han Hongs in this capital, and they are about to be the prime minister. One day, he wanted to be appointed as the official of Yiqing. He reported to the candidates and sent them to him, but he was reluctant to see the emperor reply. Only in the end could he couldn't help but ask. Now His Majesty said, "With Han Hong," Yuan Zai asked again, "There are two Han Hongs in the capital, which one should be given. His Majesty immediately replied, "There are flowers everywhere in the spring city." Han Hong turned out to be his poem very well written, and even the prophecy was passed down.

After entering the forbidden city, you have this opportunity just after your Majesty's knowledge. What's more interesting is that these two people with the same name live in the same yard. When I was in the booking today, I went to the house first. Just as I was knocking on the door, I saw a note on the side wall of the door. I looked forward and carefully but it said, "Flowers are flying everywhere in the spring city, and flowers walk with the wind." Then I realized that I had found the wrong place, but Han Hong, who is a military officer, was quite interesting." After reluctantly speaking, Meng Jiao couldn't help laughing again

Hearing his words, Cui Po couldn't help but smile. After a while, Cui Po joked: "Brother Dongye, you came yesterday. You will go to the book today. This is too urgent! This is inconsistent with the Master's humility, resignation and gratitude!"

"Okay, Cui Shiyi, I actually made fun of me, but didn't you hear that 'Zi said on the river: The dead are like this', according to his old man's wish, I came yesterday and went today, so I'm afraid it's still too slow." These words made the two laugh again.

After laughing and making a fuss, the two walked into the room. Meng Dongye must have been envious of Cui Po who could live in such a unique courtyard alone.

After watching the seat and serving tea, Meng Jiao asked leisurely: "Shiyilang, have you thought about where you want to go?"
