The climate of the plateau is very different from that of the Central Plains, so Li Shimin still chose to join the army in the expedition.
The mountains on this road are rugged and extremely difficult to navigate, and the altitude difference is huge. The weather varies for thousands of miles, and it is still snowing on the mountain ridges, but down below it is like spring all year round.
As I walked through a mountainous area, my eyes suddenly opened up. The flat land was like a huge hotbed.
The gorgeous palace that appeared in front of us made people feel distracted. Everyone was used to seeing the desolation and barrenness on the road, so this city was obviously a bit out of the ordinary.
It is said that it is a city, but in fact it is somewhat different, because there is no city wall even one foot high.
The Tubo nobles were not worried at all about the rebellion of their slaves. For hundreds of years, no foreigners had been able to attack here. They were so arrogant and confident.
The nobles in the city probably didn't receive any information about the defeat of Damichuan. They might not even know about the beginning of the war because it was a bit closed here.
At this time, someone came up to him, it was the British Duke Li Ji. He also had a more familiar name - Xu Maogong.
He took a look at this 'plateau oasis' under the mountains and rivers, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, look at those palaces, they are so low and inconsistent with the Tibetan buildings we saw along the way. I calculated with my fingers that the yin energy here is very strong. It’s more like a tomb complex.”
Li Shimin's eyes moved and he said with a smile: "Whatever, go down and have a look."
The Tang army was very professional. Even if the army was overwhelming and their strength was overwhelming, they did not underestimate the enemy rashly.
A small team of Tiance troops were in good formation and rode down the mountain. When they reached the intersection, they were intercepted by someone. They were wearing very strange clothes, spoke Tubo language, and had very angry expressions.
The leader of the Tiance Army sent his fat body flying with a spear, and the remaining Tubo people were shocked. However, none of them retreated, and instead fought desperately to come forward.
The strange noise here alarmed the people in the city. Many people looked eastward. When their eyes saw the top of the mountain, their eyes widened in shock.
The crowd, the dark crowd, was like an erupting flash flood, rushing towards this direction overwhelmingly.
The Tang army quickly rushed into this small town. It was so exquisite that it felt as if the army would smash it into pieces as soon as they came in.
From these magnificent palaces, a group of people walked out. They were dressed in rich clothes, handsome in appearance, with fair skin and well-proportioned figures. They did not look like standard Tubo people at all.
The leader, an old man with gray hair and a childish face, leaning on a crutch made of human bones, asked in less than fluent Chinese: "Why do you want to break into the Holy Land of Zao, a rude foreigner?"
No one in the Tang army spoke, so they made way for Li Shimin to walk over slowly.
"Bold! Why don't you kneel down when you see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
"We are the messengers of Buddha and gods, and we do not kneel down to mortals."
With a bang, two gun barrels hit his legs. The old man screamed and fell to his knees.
Li Shimin waved his hand to signal his "Eagle Dog" to stop fighting. He smiled and asked, "What is this place?"
Li Ji was walking around and saw a stone tablet. He looked at it carefully for a while, then came over and said, "Your Majesty, the stone tablet here records that this is a place to suppress demons."
"Demon?" Li Shimin and the accompanying Tang Dynasty civil and military officials became interested and came over one after another. Sure enough, there was a stone tablet at the door, but there was a strange writing on it.
"Do you know this ghost painting talisman?" Li Shimin asked doubtfully.
Li Ji nodded and said: "When we conquered the Turks, we captured a Turk slave. He said that he was captured from the far west. I had nothing to do, so I learned some of their writing. This It says that a peerless demon has been suppressed here, and once it is released, it will destroy the entire human world."
The monarchs of the Tang Dynasty laughed and looked relaxed. Li Shimin said: "What kind of demon is so powerful, how can it be suppressed? The small barbarian countries are short-sighted. When a demon appears, they think it is some great evil. I think it is most likely a demon." What a monster."
"Let them lead the way, let them out and let everyone take a look!" Behind Li Shimin, the fierce general Hou Junji said with a smile.
"Absolutely not!" The only old man on the ground who could speak Chinese had an ugly face. He ignored the pain in his legs and had an extremely frightened look on his face.
"Once the devil is released, all living things will inevitably be destroyed. Floods will flood the entire earth, hot magma will burn all houses to ashes, and 9,900 huge rocks will fall from the sky, each one as big as a mountain. The day will disappear and the darkness will last forever."
"I don't believe it." Duan Zhixuan said with a smile.
This man is also one of the twenty-four people in Lingyan Pavilion. He was a rogue when he was young, with a notorious reputation and a notorious local bully. Who knew that he later changed his gender, made great military exploits, became a general of the town army, and was awarded the title For Duke Fan.
Not only Duan Zhixuan didn't believe it, but also the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty who were present didn't believe it. They were still marveling at the palace here, touching here and looking there.
At this time, someone clasped his fists behind Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, there is a Taoist priest who claims to be a serious immortal and wants to see him."
"Who?" Li Shimin frowned, his good mood disappeared immediately, and he waved his hand: "Let him come!"
Li Shimin found a stone and sat down, secretly adjusting his posture to make himself look more powerful.
After a while, Li Yu came over with a smile. He thought his smile was very approachable and made him look very kind.
But in Li Shimin's eyes, he felt that this man was a thief, and he probably didn't have any good intentions. He had to be careful not to be fooled by him.
"Li Yu, a poor man, has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Yu shouted loudly.
"Isn't this a serious immortal? I heard that you are very busy. Why do you have time to visit Tubo today?"
"Your Majesty, this matter is a long story!" Li Yu put away the serious expression on his playful smile and said solemnly: "It is related to the prosperity and stability of the Six Dynasties. Considering that Your Majesty is the leader of the most powerful country in the Six Dynasties, I can't say anything. Let’s report to His Majesty.”
This flattery did not make Li Shimin take it lightly. He sneered and asked: "Why is it so serious? Do you also have a devil there?"
Li Yu was startled when he heard this and shouted: "Your Majesty is really amazing, have you guessed this?"
Li Shimin was even more convinced that this guy was here to hoodwink people. He put his hands on his knees and asked, "Tell me, what kind of monster is that of yours? Could it be that if you let it out, it would cause catastrophes in the world and wipe out all living things in the world?"
Li Yu patted his thigh and said: "Your Majesty"
He thought for a long time but couldn't think of any adjectives, so he simply gave a thumbs up and said: "That's right!"
"How dare you!" Hou Jun shouted at the side: "How dare you make fun of His Majesty!"
