After a few bowls of wine, the Ghost Face Army finally got down to business.
The name of this ghost-faced soldier is Tashi, who is the younger brother of the former Zampu. He serves as the personal bodyguard of the former Zampu and the commander-in-chief of the ghost-faced army.
When Songtsen Gampo came over, Qian Puzan died in battle, and before he died, he asked Tashi to escape with the princess and princes.
Tashi did indeed escape, but he could not withstand the enemy's huge number that was ten or even a hundred times greater. Although his life was saved, the entire team was scattered.
The whereabouts of the princess and princes are also unknown.
Tashi later returned to the old place to search, but only found a large number of corpses.
It seems that the flesh and blood of the former Zamp has been completely eliminated.
But Tashi refused to give up hope. He used the desert as his base and kept searching, hoping to one day find his brother's bloodline.
Although there was little hope, Tashi never gave up and has been searching for it for the past few years.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off. Just two days ago, Tashi finally found a surviving princess.
This time he led the ghost-faced army to meet the princess.
After Muchuan listened, he felt a little confused.
Could it be that the princess Tashi mentioned was the red-haired woman that he redeemed for fifty thousand taels of silver?
You know, Muchuan Fang feels distressed even in his dreams now. Those 50,000 taels of silver were wasted, and it would hurt anyone else.
Tashi said: "Friend, you are very handsome, you must be a high official of the Tang Dynasty!"
"We are all friends, and friends should help each other!"
"Isn't it?"
After hearing this, Muchuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod in agreement.
He wanted to hear what Tashi wanted to express.
Tashi added: "I hope, my friend, you can help us convey our goodwill to Emperor Tang!"
As always, Tashi expressed his thoughts intermittently in broken Chinese.
Muchuan felt quite uncomfortable hearing this, but he also understood what Tashi meant.
It sounds like Tashi hopes to be an informant and help the rebels connect with the Tang Dynasty. If they can get the support of the Tang Dynasty, then it is possible for them to make a comeback.
Muchuan sneered in his heart, but did not show it on the surface. He just asked what kind of kindness it was.
Tashi's answer surprised Muchuan.
He actually wanted to intermarry with the Tang Dynasty and planned to marry the princess he had just brought back to the Tang Dynasty.
I have to admit that Tashi's idea far exceeded Muchuan's expectations.
This move was very wise. The rebels now had nothing and were not qualified to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty.
But if they married their only leader to the Tang Dynasty, the situation would be different.
If the princess marries the Tang Dynasty, then the princess's child will become the next Zanpu.
In other words, as long as the Tang Dynasty helps the rebels regain the Tubo regime, then when the princess's child grows up, the entire Tubo will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
When Muchuan thought of this, his mentality changed from just having fun at the beginning to becoming more serious.
If this is the case, this is indeed a pretty good proposal.
Tubo has a large territory and has been in war for years. The relationship between Tang Dynasty and Tubo has always been tense.
There were Tubo in the west and Turks in the east, which were the main factors limiting the development of the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tubo could be eliminated, the Tang Dynasty could concentrate its efforts on dealing with the Turks. This would be a sure-profit business.
Seeing that Muchuan was moved, Tashi ordered someone to invite the princess.
The core of this plan is the princess, and Muchuan must be shown what the princess looks like, so as to show their sincerity.
Marriage is a marriage, but if the princess is not good-looking, it doesn't make sense, right?
Soon, two maids accompanied a red-haired woman into the tent.
Muchuan saw the red-haired woman from a distance and was stunned.
This red-haired woman is definitely the one she bought from the slave market for fifty thousand taels of silver!
The red-haired woman is no different than when she was at the slave market. She is now dressed in royal attire, and her original messy hair has been neatly combed. She looks like an oil painting that has come to life.
However, the expression on the red-haired woman's face was just like that at the slave market, still numb and mixed with indescribable sadness.
"Friend, this is Princess Pearl!"
Tashi introduced.
Princess Pearl?
Muchuan finally knew the name of the red-haired woman, even though it was not her real name.
Princess Pearl still lowered her head and did not look at Muchuan.
That look of pity for me can easily inspire men's protective desire.
Muchuan couldn't help but look at Princess Pearl at this moment. He could easily guess what happened to Princess Pearl.
It's nothing more than that after Princess Mingzhu left her, she went to find her family, that is, her uncle Tashi.
She originally thought that Tashi would treat her as a family member, but in the end, Tashi only regarded her as a tool for marriage.
Such a huge gap would be a huge blow to a young and inexperienced girl.
Muchuan looked at Princess Pearl and smiled bitterly: "Girl, we meet again."
As soon as this statement came out, it instantly attracted the attention of Princess Pearl.
She has not forgotten Muchuan's voice. After all, Muchuan's voice is very nice and she can't forget it even after hearing it.
She raised her head and looked at Muchuan in disbelief.
"why you?"
Seeing that the two seemed to know each other, Tashi became even more excited.
It is said that things are easy to do with acquaintances. If the two of them knew each other, then the marriage would probably be more promising.
Tashi spoke a few words quickly to Princess Mingzhu. What he said was in Tubo dialect, and he didn't stutter much. It's just that Muchuan didn't understand a word of it.
Princess Pearl nodded, looking at Muchuan from time to time, which made Muchuan's heart itch.
After a while, Zhaxi smiled at Muchuan and said, "My friend, let me, princess, accompany you. I have something to do!"
After that, Tashi left quickly.
Muchuan and Princess Pearl were the only ones left in the tent.
The scene was a little awkward. Muchuan coughed dryly and said, "I didn't expect you to be a real princess."
Princess Mingzhu shook her head, her face full of sadness: "The princess of the subjugated country, how can she be regarded as a princess?"
After that, Princess Pearl looked at Muchuan. Her ruby-like eyes looked quite dim, giving people a grayish feeling.
"My benefactor, I beg you, let me marry the Tang Dynasty. I am willing to pay any price!"
Princess Pearl suddenly knelt down and spoke in a very sincere tone.
Seeing this, Muchuan was startled and quickly helped Princess Pearl up.
Princess Pearl refused to get up, but her strength was far inferior to Muchuan, so she was lifted up by Muchuan.
Unexpectedly, this action seemed to turn on the faucet, causing Princess Pearl to burst into tears, as if she had cried out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
