Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 456 'Delivery'

Xu Jingzong got up very late the next day.

Without Xu Jingzong getting up early to disturb him, Zhang Yi had a rare sleep in, and those Tibetans also slept in together.

No way, I was drunk last night, and it was difficult to get up in the morning.

Zhang Yi got up earlier than Xu Jingzong, and after Xu Jingzong got up, he went directly to the door.

Xu Jingzong must have something to hide from him. At this critical juncture, Zhang Yi must take everything into his own hands, so as to ensure that there are no accidents to the greatest extent.

He couldn't let Xu Jingzong become an unstable factor, so he had to find Xu Jingzong to solve these problems.

And Xu Jingzong also seemed a little surprised when he saw Zhang Yi early in the morning. This is not in line with Zhang Yi's character. He used to like to hide by himself in a daze, and rarely took the initiative to find them. Now he is early in the morning. Come to him, there must be something.

Could it be that he saw through this little thing about him?
I can't, I didn't say anything to anyone, even if I drank too much last night, my consciousness was still very clear, and I didn't say anything that I shouldn't say.

No matter, let's listen to what Zhang Yi has to say first.

Xu Jingzong looked at Zhang Yi: "Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Yi gave him a blank look: "You know if there's anything, I won't be idle and panic and come to you early in the morning."

Zhang Yi could also tell from Xu Jingzong's expression that something must have happened to him, but he didn't want to tell himself.

Xu Jingzong stared at Zhang Yi in a daze.

Originally, he didn't intend to tell Zhang Yi, but since Zhang Yi took the initiative to come to him now, he should tell him frankly, and then discuss it with him, maybe there is still room for things to change.

At least it won't put him in a dilemma. Seeing Zhang Yi's attitude, he can make plans for himself.

"Shut the door."

After Xu Jingzong sighed, he asked Zhang Yi to close the door.

Without asking any further questions, Zhang Yi turned around and closed the door, then picked up a stool by himself and sat beside Xu Jingzong's bed.

Seeing Zhang Yi waiting for him to speak, Xu Jingzong sighed, and handed Zhang Yi the urgent report that Li Er gave him from under the pillow.

Zhang Yi took the urgent report and read it, but the furious Zhang Yi that Xu Jingzong imagined did not appear.

There is no sign of anger, growling, or screaming, what's more, he will tear up that urgent report?
Not at all!

Zhang Yi just quietly refolded the urgent report and handed it back to Xu Jingzong.

"Are you taking this burden on me again?"

Zhang Yi asked calmly.

"No." Xu Jingzong also answered very simply, now the two of them should have an open and honest talk.

"This time I came back and reported the situation to Chang'an, because I think your approach is too risky, and it is too early for us to attack Tubo."

"But I didn't expect His Majesty to issue such an imperial edict."

After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he looked up with a guilty conscience and glanced at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi continued to say coldly: "I don't want to ask too many other questions. I just want to ask if you are sure to take on this burden, and if you are sure to help the Tang frontier army win this war?"

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he stared straight into Xu Jingzong's eyes.

Xu Jingzong did not speak, silent.

Zhang Yi said again: "Since you are not sure, then I will pretend that I did not see this imperial decree. What happened before, we will continue to do it like that. I will pretend that this has never happened."

"I, Zhang Yi, came to deal with these Tibetans this time, not only because of his order from Li Er!"

"Maybe at the beginning, who would abandon their new wife and come to a place where they don't shit this year, but then I saw too many scenes that I couldn't bear to watch, so I decided that I must make these Tibetan barbarians pay the price."

"Now that I've made that decision, I'm going to get it done."

Zhang Yi finished speaking while staring at Xu Jingzong's eyes. Until he finished speaking, Xu Jingzong didn't dare to say anything.

If there is no indication, it is the default.

Zhang Yi got up: "I'm going to prepare, let's continue to act according to the plan set before."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he got up and left directly.

It's getting late, and it's time for Xu Jingzong to get up, he can't be blocked in the room all the time, otherwise people will think that there is something wrong with them.

For the next whole day, Xu Jingzong didn't dare to do anything beyond his authority, Zhang Yi still had the right to speak in all matters.

Although he knew that as long as he showed Li Er's urgent report through Babaili, Zhang Yi would be nothing at once.

But he didn't dare, because he was afraid of failure, and failure meant becoming a sinner, and he didn't want to be this sinner.

A day without incident.

Early the next morning, those Tubo people came to Zhang Yi immediately.

"Master Zhang Yi, we hope it won't take too long. Before we came with you, Lord Sahazhuo told us that we should let you deliver the goods there as soon as possible, because there is a shortage of goods in Qingtang."

Although I know it's not good to say this, but looking at Zhang Yi and the others as if nothing happened all day, these Tubo people couldn't help it.

Zhang Yi raised his head and glanced at them: "I know, I know better than you how out of stock Mr. Sahazhuo is now. If we can ship the goods earlier, we can make money earlier. If we can, we still want to run more." How many trips, who doesn’t want to make money, but we dare not take risks.”

"The border army of the Tang Dynasty is very active now. Once we transport the goods out at this time and meet the Tang army on the way, we can only abandon the goods and flee. The risk is too great and the loss to us is too great."

Zhang Yi spread his hands helplessly.

The Tubo people had no choice but to turn and leave.

But they came again the next day, and Zhang Yi sent them back with the same excuse.

Now he can procrastinate for one more day, and must exhaust the salt in Tubo.

Only when the salt in Tubo is exhausted can civil strife in Tubo be caused.

But after all, there must be a limit to procrastination. When those Tibetans came to Zhang Yi for the fourth time, Zhang Yi promised to deliver the goods the next morning.

After receiving Zhang Yi's promise, these Tibetans left.

If Zhang Yi refused to agree to the delivery, they would not be so easy to talk to, and they didn't even mind sending someone back to report the situation to Sahazhuo.

Zhang Yi didn't lie to them, and immediately called a meeting with everyone on the night he promised to deliver the goods.

Not much to say, a gesture that everything goes according to plan is all there is to it.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yi followed the caravan that had already prepared the goods, called the Tubo people, and embarked on the journey back to Qingtang.

"I hope we can be safe and sound this time. Look, we shipped a lot more goods this time than before. We're not being lazy these days."

Zhang Yi and others explained to the Tibetans as they walked.

And those Tubo people were relieved after hearing their explanation.

Zhang Yi and the others are indeed not lazy, they are all raising goods, that's right!

After the caravan of Zhang Yi and others left, several war horses rushed directly from the stockade to the barracks of the Datang Frontier Army.
