Next, the four of them walked around to the north gate.
Several hours passed, and Ye Yeluo still couldn't see the end of the city wall, and exclaimed: "There is a ghost in this city, why can't I get around to the end!"
Li Yunxian said calmly: "No need to make a fuss. Chang'an City is the largest city in the world, dozens of times larger than the capital of Piao State. If you go around it in one circle, you can't finish it in two days."
Luo looked at the towering city wall every night, finally feeling a little more awe in his heart.
When we arrived outside Gwanghwamun in the north, the Golden Crow was slanting to the west and the sky was getting dark.
At the request of Chief Li, a few people waited by the official road three miles away from the city gate. After a while, the sky became darker and darker, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians.
Ye Yeluo kicked a small snowdrift away with his kick and said dissatisfied: "Director Li, how long do you have to wait? If you wait any longer, I'm afraid the city gate will be closed!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yunxian stood up suddenly and walked towards Ye Yeluo.
Ye Yeluo was taken aback and stepped back a few steps: "What are you going to do...I, I was just talking casually. We will wait as long as you say you want to wait!"
Director Li walked straight past her and walked to the roadside, staring intently at the small woods not far ahead.
"What's wrong? Could it be that Na Luo's people are here again?" Sha Tuo Tuo was startled.
Daochang Li said in a deep voice: "It's very possible."
"This is outside Chang'an City! Is Naluo crazy?" Sha Tuotuo said in a loss of voice.
Ye Yeluo pulled out the dagger from his waist and hummed: "He is originally a madman!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the rustle of footsteps on the snow, and a dozen black-clothed and masked figures sprang out from the woods in the distance.
Daochang Li pulled out the long sword on his back and said loudly: "Yeyeluo, protect the prince!" After saying that, he rushed towards the group of people.
Ye Yeluo pouted and said, "If you don't tell me, I will protect him. Why do you have to say it every time? It makes me seem like I am following your orders."
Li Yunxian was already fighting with the incoming enemy and had no time to pay attention to her. After a while, five or six men in black came around and attacked the three of them.
Ye Yeluo stood guard in front of Sha Tuo Tuo and fought hard with the enemy. After a few moves, he was shocked: "How come Na Luo's minions have become so powerful!"
She barely managed to hold off three enemies, while the other two were attacking the veiled woman.
The woman's body was extremely agile and she was able to dodge all the opponent's attacks. She didn't look like she was fighting, but more like she was dancing.
In the past confrontations with enemies, the veiled woman could not only dodge other people's attacks by dancing, but also gradually made people immersed in her dancing.
But this time it was different. Although the two people attacking her couldn't touch the corners of her clothes, they were not affected by her dancing.
After another cup of tea, a tender cry was heard, and Ye Yeluo's arm was cut open by a man in black.
At the critical moment, there was a whooshing sound, and several feather arrows flew out, killing the three men in black who were besieging Ye Yeluo.
Ye Yeluo turned around and looked in the direction of the arrow, and saw two more carriages on the road in the distance, with dozens of mounted guards guarding the carriages.
When the men in black saw so many people, they turned around and ran towards the woods without saying a word.
There was another sound of bowstrings, and all the fleeing men in black were shot, and the arrows were all in the legs.
Ye Yeluo was shocked: "These Tang people are so powerful in archery."
More than a dozen guards drove their horses towards the men in black who had been shot. As soon as they got off their horses, they found that all the men in black had committed suicide.
Ye Yeluo saw a man who looked like the leader of the guards and reported a few words beside the carriage. Then a man got off the carriage and walked towards them.
The man was young, with a rather gentle expression on his face, but his eyes were bright and he walked with a sense of power.
There were four other people following behind the young man. Ye Yeluo was simply dumbfounded. One of them was younger than the young man, handsome and handsome, and his eyes were so awe-inspiring that no one dared to look at him for a long time.
There are two other people who are tall, one of them has a stern expression, and the other has an elegant face with a smile.
Although the appearance of the last person is ordinary, like Li Yunxian, there is a gleam in his eyes, and one can tell at a glance that he must be extremely skilled in martial arts.
Each of these four people are top-notch figures with outstanding demeanor. Ye Yeluo had never seen such a person when he was in Piao Kingdom, and only Li Yunxian could barely compare with them.
However, these four people were still following the young man. Thinking with his toes, he knew that the young man must be either rich or noble.
Could it be that he is the noble man mentioned by Daochang Li? Ye Yeluo was secretly surprised.
"Looking at the clothes of the three of you, I guess they are not from my court. I wonder which country the three of you are from. Why would someone want to kill you?" The young man asked with a smile.
Ye Yeluo glanced at Sha Tuo Tuo and saw his eyes widened. He was obviously overwhelmed by the grace of the four people. He secretly cursed "We are worthless" and said aloud: "We are from Piao country, and we came to Datang for
At the grand ceremony of the coming of all nations, we will present music to the Tang Dynasty."
The young man's smile did not diminish and he said: "It turns out that you are foreign envoys. Since you are offering music, how could anyone want to kill you?"
Ye Yeluo snorted and said: "Although you saved us, we can't let you interrogate us all the time. We still don't know who you are?"
"My name is Wu Chengsi, and I am an official from the Tang Dynasty. If you encounter any trouble, feel free to tell me."
This young man is Wu Chengsi who returned to Chang'an. The four people behind him are Wu Youji, Pei Xingjian, Russell and Han Cheng.
After more than ten days of traveling, they finally returned to Chang'an City.
"Wu...Wu Chengsi? You...could you be the Tang Dynasty general who destroyed the Khitan Kingdom?" Sha Tuotuo took a step back and exclaimed.
Wu Chengsi was slightly startled.
Wu Youji smiled and said: "Second brother, I didn't expect these foreigners to know about you."
After hearing what Wu Youji said, Sha Tuotuo respectfully performed the courtesy of Piao Kingdom and said: "Prince Sha Tuotuo of Piao Kingdom has met the general of the Tang Dynasty."
Sha Tuo Tuo has heard his father mention it since he was a child. Although there are many countries in the world, there are only three most powerful ones, namely the Tang Dynasty, the Umayyad Dynasty (Arab Empire) and the Tubo Dynasty.
Among the three most powerful countries, the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful, followed by the Umayyad Dynasty, and the Tubo Dynasty was third.
Hearing that a country called Zhongtianzhu killed the Tang Dynasty envoys, a Tang Dynasty man named Wang Xuance called on the troops of the Tang Dynasty's vassal countries to destroy Zhongtianzhu.
After entering the territory of the Tang Dynasty, when Sha Tuo Tuo and others were in a tea house and wine shop, they heard that there was a vassal state called Khitan in the north of the Tang Dynasty. It was destroyed by a Tang Dynasty general for detaining the Tang Dynasty envoys.
That general’s name is Wu Chengsi!
I had only heard about it before, but today I met face to face.
Sha Tuotuo's heart was pounding. He took out the certificate of credence with the seal and said respectfully: "This is the certificate of credence from the king of our country. Our country of Piao hopes to belong to the Tang Dynasty and receive the blessing of the Tang Dynasty."
Wu Chengsi took it and read it silently.
Wu Youji said coldly: "You haven't answered who those men in black are? Do you want my second brother to ask a third time?"
Sha Tuo Tuo said hurriedly: "Those people are sent by King Naluo of Nanzhao Kingdom. They do not want our country to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, so they are chasing us all the way."
"Why don't they want you to become a vassal state of our dynasty?" Wu Youji said.
Sha Tuotuo gritted his teeth and said: "Among the many countries in our Erhai Lake, our Piao State was originally a very powerful country. However, in recent decades, six more powerful countries have emerged in Erhai Lake, known as the 'Six Zhao Kingdoms'
.They conquered the south and the north and destroyed many small countries. They also took away a lot of our Piao country's territory. Among them, King Na Luo of Nanzhao was the most vicious and crazy."
Wu Chengsi nodded secretly. Five of the Six Zhao Kingdoms were vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Nanzhao Kingdom. Almost every year, they would present unique treasures during tribute, which made them stand out.
"Our Piao Kingdom is getting weaker and weaker, and may be swallowed up by them in the near future. In order to protect the country, my father has no choice but to send me as an envoy to your dynasty."
Wu Youji frowned and said, "You still haven't said why Nanzhao is chasing you?"
Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "As long as Piao and Nanzhao become our vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao will not be able to attack Piao. This should be the reason."
Wu Youji smiled coldly and said: "In other words, you are joining our dynasty just to avoid being engulfed by Nanzhao?"
Sha Tuo Tuo's face turned pale and he said hurriedly: "No, no, we have always admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty and really want to join the Tang Dynasty. We also hope that the general can express our country's belonging to the emperor."
Wu Chengsi stretched out his hand to stop Wu Youji who was still about to speak, and said with a smile: "Since you are determined to return to the Tang Dynasty, go directly to the officials of Honglu Temple after entering the city. It is up to them to judge whether you can return to the Tang Dynasty."
As he spoke, he turned around and returned to the carriage.
"General Tang Dynasty, can't you help us?" A voice like a silver bell sounded, and the speaker was the veiled woman Ranma.
Wu Chengsi kept walking and said: "Our officials in the Tang Dynasty each have their own subordinates. This matter is not my responsibility. You should go to the officials of Honglu Temple."
