"San brother, look at which country the cavalry is from? Why do I look familiar?" Li Yan woke up Li Ke who was stunned and asked, pointing to the alien cavalry wet in the rain.

"These are Tubo cavalry, and it seems that they should be protecting an extremely important person." Li Ke looked up in a low mood and said weakly. But then he suddenly looked up and carefully observed the Tubo cavalry, and then said with a serious look: "Look at the equipment and specifications of this cavalry, as well as the decoration of the big cart in the middle, it seems that the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo came in person."

However, as soon as Li Ke finished speaking, he immediately returned to his original weak appearance. He finally rekindled his ambition for the throne, but was ruthlessly extinguished by Li Yan. This blow was almost devastating to anyone, and now he could not have any interest in external affairs at all.

When Li Yan heard that the other party was the famous Songtsen Gampo in history, he suddenly became uneasy. While looking at the cavalry up and down, he was thinking about the other party's intention to come to the Tang Dynasty. After the last battle of Songzhou, Tubo was killed by the Tang Dynasty and became honest all the time. It has been almost two years now. Why did Songtsen Gampo take the risk and travel thousands of miles to the Tang Dynasty?

"Stern brother, please help me think about it. How could Songtsen Gampo come to our Tang Dynasty at such a time? What is his purpose?" Li Yan instinctively felt that the other party was not kind, and it was very likely that he would cause another storm.

"How could I know about this? It might be related to Gaochang's war?" Li Ke obviously lost confidence in his future life. He looked half-dead, and even his brain was lazy.

"Gaochang?" Li Yan's eyes lit up after hearing this. He remembered that Gaochang was not very far from Tubo. Did the Tang Dynasty use troops to Gaochang this time scare the defeated general of Tubo, so Songtsen Gampo, came to seek peace? Thinking of this possibility, Li Yan was immediately shocked. If this was the case, then things would be much easier. After all, the other party came to seek the Tang Dynasty. No matter how it was done, it would not cause much trouble.

"Sixth Brother..." Li Yan was about to discuss the possibility that he had thought of with Li Ke, but when he turned his head and saw the other person's half-dead look, he couldn't help but feel angry. He swung his fist and hit the other person's shoulder and said, "Sixth Brother, you are too boring. Isn't it just a throne? If you believe me, follow me to the south after the New Year. Then I will show you a brand new path of life, which is definitely ten thousand times better than staying in Chang'an in a stupid way!"

"Liulang, don't joke about me!" Li Ke obviously thought Li Yan was comforting him, so he did not take the other party's words seriously.

"Third brother. Although I usually make a fuss, I have never joked about such major events!" Li Yan looked serious and did not look like he was joking.

Seeing Li Yan's serious look, even Li Ke was stunned. He also focused his attention and asked, "Liulang, what's wrong with you going to the south? I heard that Yanbei, Cui Yu and some people from the Chang'an family will go with you. Do you have any big plans?"

"Third brother, the real destination of going to the south this time is Liuqiu Island. When I returned to Chang'an, I sent someone there to do something, but now I am in some trouble and I need to deal with it myself. As for bringing Yanbei, Cui Yu and others together, of course, there are other considerations." Li Yan didn't know how to explain this to Li Ke, so he had to say this.

"Liuqiu Dadao?" Li Ke immediately frowned when he heard this name. He was a person who was very knowledgeable, but he only heard about Liuqiu Dadao. This was because of him and Li Yan's grandfather Yang Guang. Because during the former Sui Dynasty, their tyrant grandfather had sent people to Liuqiu Dadao, and more than once, he had an impression.

"Stern brother, don't guess this matter randomly. Anyway, there is nothing to do after the New Year. Just follow me. Then I will give you a satisfactory answer. What do you think?" Li Yan was full of Tubo people in his heart now, and he had no intention of explaining to Li Ke. He could only pat his chest and assure the other party.

"Okay, as Liulang said, we are brothers, third brother believes in you!" Li Ke finally cheered up and punched Li Yan's shoulder with his fist and said, "If even his own brothers don't believe him, who else can he trust?

Seeing that the sunny and cheerful third brother finally came back, Li Yan was also very pleased. The two looked at each other and laughed loudly almost at the same time. At this time, they and the Tubo cavalry happened to arrive at Anhua Gate at the same time. Perhaps they heard the laughter of the two, and this team, which was obviously an elite cavalry, showed a hint of alertness.

On the luxurious cart sandwiched between the cavalry, the window was also opened by someone, and a pair of wolf-like eyes looked along the laughter. Just then, Li Yan and Li Ke also looked here. The three of them happened to meet in the air, and they all were shocked.

What a pair of ambitious eyes! Li Yan and Li Kehe thought almost at the same time. Later generations said that eyes are the window of the soul, and this statement is correct. The first thing to see when viewing people is the eyes of the other party. In addition to seeing tenacity, calmness and wisdom in the eyes of the people in the car, Li Yan and Li Ke also have endless ambitions. Moreover, the other party's eyes are extremely aggressive, which makes people feel cold all over the body. It seems that there is no secret that can be hidden from the other party. If you have such a complicated pair of eyes, I believe that the person sitting in the car must be Songtsen Gampo.

At the same time, the person in the car slowly closed the window and murmured: "The Tang Dynasty is indeed a talented person. Any two young people I met outside the city actually have the posture of dragons and phoenixes. If these two people were placed in Tubo, they could be a great prime minister. It would be a pity!"

The Tang government had long received news about the arrival of this Tubo cavalry. Outside the Anhua Gate, two officials from the Honglu Temple were waiting. However, the Tang Dynasty obviously did not pay much attention to the arrival of the Tubo king. After all, in the eyes of the Tang people, Tubo was just a defeated general. Even if the other king came, there was no need to be too grand. Therefore, only two small officials of low-level rank were sent to greet him.

Li Yan and Li Ke were not in a hurry to enter the city at this time. They rode on horseback and looked at the Tubo cavalry and found that the other party's equipment was pretty good. Everyone was wearing iron armor and their weapons were made of iron. Last time Niu Jinda defeated the Tubo army, he once reported to the Ministry of War that the Tubo people had low combat power, and most of them used bronze weapons, and the iron weapons accounted for very small amounts. If this was true, then this cavalry would be very luxurious in Tubo.

These Tubo knights all had a fierce expression and had a violent murderous aura all over their bodies. This was somewhat similar to the Tiger Head Army on the battlefield. They seemed to be a unit of battles. However, when this cavalry was moving, the team was not as neat as the Tang cavalry, and they were probably lacking in military discipline.

The Tubo people came to the city gate and came out to hand over the documents with the welcoming officials. After confirming that it was correct, the soldiers guarding the gate were released. However, at this time, Li Yan sent someone to invite one of the welcoming officials to ask about the purpose of the Tubo king coming to the Tang Dynasty.

The official didn't notice Li Yan just now. When he saw him, he immediately walked over and bowed and said, "Zhou Wenju, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, pay homage to His Highness King Wu and His Highness King Qi!"

The Chief of the Honglu Temple was a fifth-rank official and was considered a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty. No wonder Li Yan looked familiar with the other party. Although the fifth-rank official was nothing to Li Yan and Li Ke, he looked at each other with a demeanor and did not have any rude attitude towards them, so their brothers did not dare to neglect them, and they threw their saddles and dismounted and said, "The Chief of the Zhou Si."

After the two sides finished their greetings, Li Yan went straight to the point and asked, "Zhou Sicheng, is the Tubo people visiting this time, but is their king Songtsen Gampo coming in person?"

"Your Highness the King of Qi has great eyesight. This time the Tubo king is indeed here in person!" Zhou Wenju replied with a smile.

"Haha, I guess they must have come because of Gao Chang's incident?" Li Ke also smiled.

"His Royal Highness of the King of Wu said it well. My Tang Dynasty pacified Gaochang in one fell swoop and occupied the Khan City of the Western Turks. This move not only shocked the countries in the Western Regions, but also made the Tubo, who was close to him, feel restless. Some time ago, our Honglu Temple had received news of dozens of small countries entering the country. Tubo acted the fastest. When Gaochang was first settled, the Tubo king set out to rush to our Tang Dynasty, so he was the first to arrive in Chang'an!" When Zhou Wenju spoke, his face was full of the style of a great power.

Honglu Temple was originally in charge of diplomacy, and as diplomats of the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Wenju and others were undoubtedly very happy, because the Tang Dynasty is now in a prosperous country and wins consecutive battles in foreign wars, and there are no decent opponents at all. Therefore, the officials in diplomacy always look awesome when facing envoys from other countries, which is much luckier than the diplomats of the Celestial Kingdom in later generations.

When Li Yan heard that many small countries in the Western Regions were going to Chang'an to pay tribute, he felt aroused. If the envoys of these small countries could arrive in Chang'an before the Winter Games, they could be invited to participate in the competition. In this way, not only can the number of athletes be increased, but the influence of the sports meet can also be increased.

Just as Li Yan was complacent about his thoughts, Zhou Wenju spoke again: "Two Your Highnesses, as far as I know, the Tubo king came this time, not only to restore the relationship between the two countries, but also to bring up the old things again and ask His Majesty a princess to be his wife!"
