Chapter 1097: Actually, both parties still have something to discuss
“……”What else could Songtsen Gampo say?
He couldn't say anything.
"What do you mean by not speaking?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu narrowed his eyes when he heard that.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuwen Qing, who had been rubbing his hands in anticipation, immediately came to Songtsen Gampo, picked him up from the ground, and punched him in the stomach: "My Highness is asking you a question! Why are you pretending to be dead!"
"Ugh..." Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but let out a cry of pain after being hit hard in the abdomen.
"Tsk..." Yuwen Qing threw the man to the ground again after seeing this: "I thought his bones were so hard..."
"Songtsen Gampo, you really don't know anything." His Royal Highness looked at the young Zamp curled up like a shrimp, and his tone was full of sighs: "You are still too young. Without Lu Dongzan's assistance, your stubbornness has ruined you.
What a pity, as long as I am here, you, a salted fish from Tibet, will never be able to turn over again."
"You think you are so powerful? You are just lucky!" Songtsen Gampo was lying on the ground. After hearing the heart-piercing words of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he looked at him with unwilling eyes and roared at him: "If I were you——"
"——You are right." Before Songtsen Gampo finished speaking, His Royal Highness the King of Chu sneered and said, "I am just lucky. What's wrong? Are you not convinced?"
“Oh…why would I not accept it?” Songtsen Gampo was stunned at first, then sneered: “Li Kuan, I bet with you that your end will be worse than mine!”
"Songtsen Gampo, you have reached the end of your words." His Royal Highness the King of Chu sighed and said, "Buza, send someone out of the city now to call Lu Dongzan to the palace for me."
"Uh..." Buza was a little surprised when he heard what His Royal Highness the King of Chu said: "Your Highness the King of Chu, the fief of Prime Minister Lu Dongzan is not far from Luoshui City--"
"He must be outside Luoshui City now." His Royal Highness the King of Chu glanced at Buza upon hearing this: "Who is Lu Dongzan? I know him better than you. He knows that if Luoshui City is in trouble, he will never be able to save it from me. But he can't save Luoshui City, but he still wants to save Tubo. Do you understand what I mean?"
“…” Buza nodded silently after hearing this, then turned and walked out of the hall.
"Your Highness, is Lu Dongzan really outside Luoshui City?" Yuwen Qing saw Buza leave and immediately turned to look at his own patriarch: "How about I personally lead people to capture this man?"
"That's not necessary." His Royal Highness the King of Chu calmly waved his hand and said, "Lu Dongzan and I both know that I can defeat Tubo, but I am too lazy to spend time and energy to completely rule it. And the Tang Dynasty is currently focusing on the grasslands and Goguryeo, and even the Western Regions cannot be managed carefully for the time being. In view of this, Lu Dongzan and I both think that there is still room for negotiation."
"Alas..." Just as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang beside him suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong with you?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was rarely patient with Gangzi because Gangzi took the lead tonight.
"I just think... we should bring Brother Xie Gong and Brother Xuan Ce with us this time..." Gangzi was afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would not understand, so he added considerately: "Now in our team... except for me, there is no reliable counselor..."
"Don't flatter yourself." His Royal Highness the King of Chu rolled his eyes when he heard this: "You call yourself a counselor? You've eaten the most and thought the least along the way. What are you planning?"
"That's right!" Aya, who had not interrupted the master before because he was talking about something, finally got the chance to speak: "Master Yuan, although your melon seeds are delicious, you may offend people by saying this!"
“Hahaha…” When Yuan Tiangang heard Aya say this, he immediately laughed and said, “Miss Aya is absolutely right. It was my fault for not considering it carefully…”
"I'm not talking about me!" Aya seemed to be born with a unique temperament as a retainer of the Dou family. After hearing what Yuan Tiangang said, she pointed at Zhang Zhenxuan and said, "Master Yuan, do you take the little Taoist priest seriously?"
“Well…” Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang slapped his forehead and said, “Sorry for being so rude, little Heavenly Master…”
“Don’t bring me along when you two fight…” Zhang Zhenxuan looked at the two funny guys in front of him—one was already a Dou family priest personally approved by his great-grandfather, and the other was expected to become a priest in the future. How should I describe his current mood… very complicated…
With such a team of retainers... If he becomes the chief in the future, how heavy the burden on his shoulders will be...
On one side he carried his own prince, and on the other side he carried a basket of living treasures - they complemented each other perfectly...
"Little Taoist Priest, what are you thinking about?" Aya felt a little strange when she saw Zhang Zhenxuan suddenly lost in thought: "We are on the same side now! Can you help me argue with Taoist Yuan?"
"Okay, Aya, what are you arguing about?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu glared at Yuan Tiangang unhappily, then turned his gaze to Aya: "There are many treasures in this palace. How about I give you some help and you go and look for them yourself? If we find any treasure, we can each take half, okay?"
"Yes, yes!" Aya smiled with narrowed eyes upon hearing that, but then she hesitated and said, "Master... isn't this a bad idea... I didn't do much..."
"Why didn't you help?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu frowned and said, "Don't you have to find the treasure?"
"That was not what I meant……"
"That's what I meant anyway." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned to Li Chunfeng who was watching the show, and said, "Chunfeng, are you tired?"
"Your Highness, I'm fine." Faced with the sudden concern of the head of the family, Li Chunfeng was really flattered.
"Don't hold on. If you feel tired, go down and have a good rest." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu said to Zhang Zhenxuan who was standing beside him, "Zhenxuan, let's go to the palace gate and take a look."
"Yes." Zhang Zhenxuan smiled and nodded, "I am also curious, are these Tibetans really not afraid of death?"
"You are quite good at what you said." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are indeed a great scholar in the making."
"Don't let Lord Yu and Lord Xiao hear this." Zhang Zhenxuan laughed and said, "Otherwise, Your Highness will suffer again."
"Not really, not really." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu stopped talking about this. Then he noticed Sangsuo, who was lying next to Songtsen Gampo and blinking at him frantically, so he raised his eyebrows and said to Yuwen Qing, "Untie this guy. I have something to ask you."
"Yes." Yuwen Qing did as he was told.
“Your Highness, the King of Chu,” Sang Suo offered his loyalty to the King of Chu as soon as he regained his freedom: “I know where the treasury of the palace is. I can lead you there!”
"Wow!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu pretended to be surprised when he heard this and said, "Are you going to participate in the division of the spoils too?"
"Master! That won't work!" Upon hearing this, Aya hurriedly stepped forward to grab His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu and signaled him not to be fooled: "I have a way to find the treasure!"
"What method?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was aroused by Aya's words.
"Well... Master, look..." Aya said as she let go of King Chu, then reached for the flowered cloth bag at her waist, searched carefully for a while, and finally took out a silver bottle.
"There is a pair of treasure-hunting bugs in here. They can help find treasures!" Aya said, and pulled out the cork. Not long after, a pair of small beetles with fluorescent green bodies crawled out of the bottle mouth.
"Can this find treasure?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was fascinated by this strange little insect.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, just watch!" Aya said as she blew gently into the bottle mouth. The insect immediately flapped its wings and began to circle around the hall. Then it rushed out of the hall and flew towards the harem...
"Master, hurry up and follow me! The little bug has found something good!" After saying this, Aya immediately rushed out.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled slightly upon hearing this, then rushed out of the hall and followed Aya to start a unique treasure hunt in the Tubo Palace...
