Hearing Hate Shui mention his father, Mang Buzhi couldn't get angry anymore, and he whipped the riding crop in his hand to the ground hard.

"Da Lun is in a difficult situation now. Not only does he have to fight the Tang Dynasty army, but he also has to be wary of Zan Pu's cold cuts. Now he has no one to help him except you and Lord Zan Po. If you die,

What does Daluan think in his heart, and who do you want him to rely on?"

These words of Qishui made Mangbuzhi look ashen as death. He knew that Qishui was right. He had to live for his father and the Gar family.

Mangbuzhi slumped to realize that whether he wanted to or not, he could only swallow the humiliation of this defeat silently.

Like a wounded wolf, Mangbuzhi knelt on the ground and howled: "I won't give in! I really won't give in!"

Hatred Shui looked at Mangbuzhi silently, knowing that he had to give Mangbuzhi time so that he could calm down!

After a long time, Mangbu stood up and his tone softened a lot: "Mr. Qiu, you are right, but I am really unwilling to do so! Before I go back, I have a request. I hope Mr. Qiu will not stop me!

"What request?" Qishui stared at Mangbuzhi, trying to see something on his face.

"I want to meet the commander of the other party who is leading this battle!" Mangbuzhi's tone was full of bitterness, "Even if I lose, I will lose clearly!"

Lu Xiaoxian's face flashed across Hate Shui's mind. If he guessed correctly, there would be no one else besides him to direct this battle. Hate Shui did not expect that Lu Xiaoxian looked like a weak young man.

I didn't expect to have this ability.

According to Hatred Water's idea, he originally wanted to dissuade Mang Buzhi, but after colliding with Mang Buzhi's sincere eyes, he could only swallow the words of dissuasion. Hatred Water can understand Mang Buzhi's feelings at this moment.

I feel like it would be too unkind to refuse again.

"Okay, Maben, I'll go with you!" Hatred Water nodded.

…

After the Tibetans retreated, the baggage team did not act rashly. Lu Xiaoxian was still observing the movements of the Tibetans in the vehicle formation on the high ground.

Although the Tubo people suffered heavy losses, Lu Xiaoxian and Zhao Lang did not dare to be careless. Once they withdrew the car formation and headed towards Taozhou City, the Tubo people were likely to make a comeback. Without the protection of the car formation, they would be attacked by the Tubo cavalry.

If not, there is only a dead end.

The Tubo people did not retreat, which made Lu Xiaoxian even more uneasy. The defenders of Taozhou City did not know that they were being attacked. If Tibetan reinforcements arrived again, it would be difficult for them to deal with it.

Amidst the anxiety, about two hours later, a horse galloped towards the car formation from a distance.

Chai Liu subconsciously raised the crossbow in his hand, and Lu Xiaoxian held him down: "Don't worry, let's see what they are going to do!"

What came was a Tibetan cavalryman. When he arrived not far from the formation, he reined in his horse and shouted loudly: "I am here to deliver a message to Mr. Lu on the orders of Mr. Maben!"

Send a letter? And name it to Lu Xiaoxian?

What the hell is this?

"Bring him in!" Lu Xiaoxian thought about it again and again, and finally made a decision.

After Lu Xiaoxian read the letter, he handed it to Zhao Lang and others, remaining speechless.

After everyone read the letter one by one, they looked at each other.

It turned out that the Tubo general wanted to meet Lu Xiaoxian, and the meeting place was in the open space in the middle of the train formation and the Tubo camp.

"Master Lu, you can't go. If you are fooled, you will regret it." Chai Liu dissuaded him.

Zhao Lang also advised: "Mr. Lu, when you come here, Manager Wang has repeatedly told you that your safety must be guaranteed. If the Tubo people have any conspiracy, if you leave rashly, won't you be falling into a trap?"

Lu Xiaoxian smiled: "It's not as serious as you think. The general leading this Tubo cavalry is named Mangbuzhi. He is the son of Tubo Dalun. I still know something about him, and he will not engage in any conspiracy.

It’s a trick, there’s no harm in meeting it!”

"Master Lu, how do you know him?" Zhao Lang asked strangely.

Of course, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't tell Zhao Lang that he knew it from the history books of later generations. He said blindly: "Since the two countries are at war, of course I have to know some information in advance, and I have also done some things about this Mangbu tribe.

learn!"

After that, Lu Xiaoxian said to the Tubo cavalry who were waiting for a reply: "Please go back and tell Lord Mangbuzhi that I will meet him at the agreed place on time in one hour!"

The Tibetan cavalryman who delivered the message made a promise and turned around to leave.

Zhao Lang did not give up and still persuaded Lu Xiaoxian to give up this idea.

After Zhao Lang finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly asked: "General Zhao, if the Tubo people write to the Tornado Brigade and ask you to meet, will you meet?"

Zhao Lang said without hesitation: "Of course I want to meet you!"

"Isn't this the end?" Lu Xiaoxian spread his hands, "Both each other! Your thoughts are the same as mine!"

Zhao Lang smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that there was no point in trying to persuade him anymore.

…

In the open space directly in front of the baggage train formation, Lu Xiaoxian and Mang Buzhi stood face to face, neither of them speaking.

Behind Lu Xiaoxian were Zhang Meng, who was looking at him eagerly, and two strong slaves carrying things. Behind Mang Bu, stood the expressionless Hate Shui.

After a long time, Lu Xiaoxian turned around and said to Zhang Meng and the two strong slaves: "Put your things down and go back!"

Zhang Meng was worried about Lu Xiaoxian's safety, but at Lu Xiaoxian's signal, he had no choice but to instruct the two strong slaves to put the things in their hands on the ground in front of Lu Xiaoxian one by one. The three of them turned around and walked towards the car formation without saying a word.

.

Mangbuzhi looked at the things on the ground: two large wine jars, two large bowls, and a cloth bundle.

He didn't know what Lu Xiaoxian was going to do, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Lu Xiaoxian pointed to the two wine jars in front of him and smiled at Mangbu Zhi: "This is the good wine I brought from Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Ma Ben must also know that Luoyang is thousands of miles away from here, so this wine is

I was reluctant to drink it on the way. Fortunately, the previous battle did not affect these two jars of wine. Now I use it specifically to entertain Master Maben, which can be regarded as my sincerity!"

Lu Xiaoxian's preconceived words made Mangbuzhi's hostility towards him weaken a lot.

Such a generous person, who dares to drink with the enemy, must be a man.

Mangbuzhi had always felt that everyone in the Tang Dynasty spoke in a formal manner and was full of bad water, just like the water of hatred. But Lu Xiaoxian in front of him made him not feel this way.

There are many people in this world who like to show off, but it is really not easy to pretend to be like Lu Xiaoxian.

The hatred behind Mang Bu Zhi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Lu Xiaoxian knew Mang Bu Zhi's thoughts very well. Mang Bu Zhi can also be regarded as an elite figure among the Tubo people, but he and most Tubo people

Just the same, Lu Xiaoxian's words have undoubtedly reduced the hatred in Mangbuzhi's heart to a minimum.

Sure enough, Mangbuzhi learned to use the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty and hugged Lu Xiaoxian: "Thank you so much, Mr. Lu! I, Mangbuzhi, accept your love!"

"You're welcome Ma Ben!" Lu Xiaoxian said with sincerity, "If we weren't each our own masters, I think Ma Ben and I would definitely become good friends! If Ma Ben doesn't mind, we can sit here and drink together.

Let’s talk, how about it?”

Mangbuzhi turned around and said to Qiu Shuishui: "Mr. Qiu, Mr. Lu is very kind to you. We should be respectful and obey his orders!"

"Wait!" Lu Xiaoxian suddenly called to Mangbu Zhi.

"Master Lu, what's wrong?" Mangbuzhi asked strangely.

"Maben! I'm willing to be friends with you, but he can't!" Lu Xiaoxian pointed at the water of hatred behind Mang Buzhi.

"Why is this?" Mangbuzhi was puzzled.

Lu Xiaoxian did not answer Mangbuzhi's question, but looked at Qiu Shui with a half-smile but not a smile: "Shopkeeper Qiu! We meet again! Are you okay?"

Qiu Shui was obviously embarrassed, and he saluted Lu Xiaoxian shamelessly: "Qiu has met Mr. Lu!"

"It seems that some people really don't know how important the doctor's introduction to medicine is!" Lu Xiaoxian muttered without thinking.

A bitter look appeared on Hate Shui's face.

"Maben!" Lu Xiaoxian looked at Mangbuzhi, "I knew this shopkeeper Qiu when we were in Luoyang! In fact, I knew at that time that he had a great relationship with Tubo, but I didn't expose it. Not only that,

I also did a huge thing for him, and he owes me a huge favor! When I came to Taozhou this time, I asked him to be my guide and paid him twice the remuneration. Tell me, what do you think about me?

Has he run out of benevolence and righteousness?"

Mangbuzhi didn't know that Lu Xiaoxian and Hate Shui had this connection, so he directed his questioning eyes towards Hate Shui.

Hatred Water did not speak or deny.

"If I'm not wrong, this Mr. Qiu must be trying to seize the Emperor Zhou's autographed letter to Tubo Zampu. As I said before, it's normal for each to become an enemy for his own master. However, he repays kindness with hatred and wants to harm me.

, this is unjustifiable!”

Hate Shui was about to explain when Lu Xiaoxian's sharp eyes pierced him: "You dare to say that you don't have such thoughts? You were afraid that I would be restrained after doing that thing for you, so you gave birth to kill me.

What do you think? I originally regarded you as a friend, but your actions have ruined our relationship as friends in the future. Shopkeeper Qiu, please come back!"

Hatred Shui looked at Mang Bu Zhi, he was a little worried. Speaking of playing tricks, I'm afraid ten Mang Bu Zhi tied together would not be Lu Xiaoxian's opponent. Is it too risky to leave Mang Bu Zhi alone here?

Already?

Mangbuzhi was a little hesitant and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"If it were you, Maben, would you be friends with such a person?" Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly: "If he is here, then only I will leave! Maben, farewell!"

After saying that, Lu Xiaoxian turned around.

"Wait!" Mangbuzhi finally made up his mind and said to Qiu Shui: "Mr. Qiu, you go back first! I want to have a drink with Mr. Lu here!"

Mang Buzhi issued an order to expel the guests, and Hui Shui couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and left in dismay.
