Chapter 43
A few days later, outside Qingtang City, the capital of the Tubo Kingdom, Lu Fengqiu rode a camel into the capital of the Tubo Kingdom.

For this trip, he traveled alone. Before leaving, he rejected Tianshan Child Elder's kindness. According to Child Elder's wishes, he is now the head of the dignified Xiaoyao Sect. He must bring a few followers with him when he travels. The four daughters, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, were handed over to Lu Fengqiu.

He rejected it straight away, what a joke, he is a Taoist priest, and he took four beautiful girls to Tubo, isn't that eye-catching?
Lu Fengqiu entered the city from the east gate of Qingtang City, and he could clearly see the iron-colored and black Qingtang armor of the Tubo warriors, which were as crystal as mirrors. The Tubo tribes fought for years, and all the Tubo warriors showed their fierceness.

Qingtang City is located in the mountains, the terrain is dangerous.

Due to the rise of the Xixia Kingdom, which controlled the Hexi Corridor area, caravans and envoys from various countries traveling between the Song Dynasty and Xixia City were often plundered, so caravans and envoys from various countries detoured to Qingtang City, and then went to Qinghai From the south of Hunan to the west through the Qaidam Basin, Qingtang City has become an important town on the South Silk Road and the Tang-Fan Ancient Road.

Qingtang East City is the commercial area in Qingtang City, where there are various shops and business travelers from various countries. There are hundreds of merchants in Khotan and Huihe alone. Every day, people are bustling with each other, rubbing shoulders and backs, and it is extremely lively.

Lu Fengqiu stopped and stopped all the way, but rather admired the exotic atmosphere. Compared with the big cities in the Central Plains, this Qingtang City has more distinctive features.

However, although he looked careless on the surface, in his heart he was thinking about how to make this trip go smoothly.

His destination is not in the east city, but in the west city.

Xicheng is a royal city, with large-scale conference halls, palaces, temples, military and political organs and noble houses.

The "she" he was looking for is now in the royal palace.

Brother Xiaoyaozi married his eldest daughter Li Qiushui to the Xixia Kingdom, while his youngest daughter was married to Dong Zhan, then the leader of Tubo.

However, Dong Zhan has passed away for many years, and the current ruler of the Tubo Kingdom is called Aligu.

As far as Lu Fengqiu knew, this Ali bone was not Dong Zhan's own birth, but because his biological mother, Mou Xiabu, was Dong Zhan's concubine, Dong Zhan adopted him as his son.

The reason why Ali Gu was able to successfully inherit the throne has a lot to do with Dong Zhan's wife, Qiao Shi.

The person Lu Fengqiu was looking for was Mrs. Qiao.

Qiao, originally meant to pretend to be a disguise. Back then, the brother asked the youngest daughter to be named Qiao's woman and become Dong Zhan's wife. Now Qiao has become the Queen Mother of Tubo Kingdom, just like Li Qiushui and Li Taifei of Xixia Kingdom, and is now the most powerful in Tubo Kingdom. It is a pity that these two daughters did not inherit the legacy of the senior brother. They each had their own thoughts and did not become the help of the senior brother on the road to restoration of the country.

Now that brother Xiaoyaozi has passed away, these two daughters who have their own thoughts don't know how they will react when they hear the news.

Lu Fengqiu wandered around Dongcheng for a long time, found a restaurant that looked quite lively, and walked in.

It was winter at this time, and it was freezing cold outside, and the passers-by were wearing thick clothes of all kinds.

Lu Fengqiu wasn't afraid of the severe cold, but he didn't want to attract too much attention, so he had already changed into a big fur coat and a velvet hat on top of his head.

The bartender in the restaurant is a local, and the words in his mouth are babbling, which should be in the local language, which Lu Fengqiu can't understand.

The bartender saw that he spoke the Central Plains Mandarin, so he immediately changed to the less fluent Central Plains Mandarin.

No matter where the bartender is, it is generally enthusiastic.

Lu Fengqiu ordered some "red food" according to what the bartender said.

The so-called "red food" refers to meat, including cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens.

However, eating meat alone was a little too tiresome, so Lu Fengqiu kept the wine warm for a pot of wine. He had worshiped Huolong Daoist as his teacher, and drank a lot of pure Yang wine.

However, he is extremely self-disciplined and never drinks too much. This is the first time he has drunk since he left Zhongnan Mountain.

After staying in the wine shop until night, Lu Fengqiu walked towards the palace in the west city in the dark.

……

The moon and stars are sparse, so the palaces in the Tubo royal city are naturally different from those in the Song imperial city.

Most of the palace buildings of the Tubo royal family are straight cylinder, which is a combination of stone masonry, earth ramming and wooden structure.

At this time, although the lights are bright everywhere in the palace city, there are also many dark places.

It was the first time for Lu Fengqiu to come to this Tubo royal city, so naturally he couldn't be familiar with the road, so he arrested two warriors from the palace to question him, but he didn't find out what happened.

Because those two warriors didn't understand the official language of the Central Plains at all, Lu Fengqiu couldn't understand what they said, and they couldn't understand what Lu Fengqiu said either.

Lu Fengqiu had no choice but to knock them out, click on their acupoints, and continued to explore around the palace.

Lu Fengqiu's lightness kung fu is excellent, so he is not afraid of people finding his tracks.

It's just that the patrolling samurai in the Miyagi always felt that tonight it seemed like a ghost had entered the Miyagi, and there was always a ghost wind blowing from time to time.

Lu Fengqiu searched for most of the night, and finally let him hear someone speaking the official dialect of the Central Plains.

In the hall, there was a man wearing a tunic with a large lapel collar and a pair of plackets sitting beside him. The man looked about 50 years old, and his face was very majestic. He seemed to be someone with authority.

Sitting opposite that person was a young monk wearing a red robe, the young monk was quite handsome, holding his hands and said: "Master, the master of the country just sent a letter back yesterday, saying that the king of Xixia wants to recruit Son-in-law, let the king prepare early."

Lu Fengqiu listened outside, nodding secretly, it turned out that the person inside was Aligu, the ruler of Tubo.

The young monk did not know who it was.

All I could hear was Ali Gu, the leader of the Tubo kingdom, saying: "Sangge, in your opinion, who should be the most suitable for this marriage proposal."

The young monk smiled lightly and said: "The Lord has already made a decision, why bother to ask the little monk again."

The Tubo king nodded and said, "Then let Zongzan go."

At this moment, someone from the palace knocked on the door and reported: "My lord, the queen mother said that I have something important to ask my lord to discuss."

Upon hearing this, Ali Gu, the king of Tubo, immediately replied: "Understood, you go and report to the queen mother, and say that the king will be here soon."

The palace people respectfully left, and the young monk said: "Since the lord still has something to do, I won't bother you, I will come to discuss Buddhist gatha with the lord some other day."

Ali Gu, the ruler of Tubo, nodded and said, "Okay."

The young monk retreated quietly, and the Tubo king Ali Gu walked towards another palace under the guard of his attendants.

Lu Fengqiu followed quietly.

The cold wind was bitter, and the thick clothes on his body could not stop Lu Fengqiu's flexible figure.

The Tubo king walked in the palace for a short time, and when he came to a palace, he backed away from the left and right, and walked towards the palace.

After about half a stick of incense, Ali Gu, the king of Tubo, left.

Lu Fengqiu was sure that Ali Gu had left, so he got down and led the guards away from the gate of the palace, and then sneaked into the palace.

After entering the palace, with the palace curtains hanging and the shadows of candles fluttering, Lu Fengqiu walked inside step by step.

Seeing that most of the furnishings there were in the style of the Southern Dynasty, Lu Fengqiu was determined, knowing that he must have come to the right place.

At this moment, only a cold voice came from the inner hall.

"Is Sanger here?"

　Thanks to Yi Jinyuan for the reward of 100 starting coins. It is very important to ask for a recommendation ticket for the new book issue.
