Xu Zizhen became more and more surprised and looked at Bu Fen as if he had seen a ghost. He could not imagine that the amiable businessman in front of him could have anything to do with the horse thieves. Moreover, he was also known as the overlord of the Hexi Corridor?
Bu Fen smiled and waved his hand: "This is all nonsense said by friends on the road. How big is the Hexi Corridor? Can I deserve this title?"
Xu Zizhen took a deep breath and forced a smile and said: "You can't tell by appearance. Isn't this girl still a little princess? I still don't see anything about her that looks like a princess." As he said that, he looked at Duoqi Dolma and asked
He said, "By the way, since you are a princess of Tubo, why did you travel all the way to Lanzhou? After spending so many days, you came back to Xixia. What are you doing here?"
Duoqi Zhuoma pointed to the carriage behind her somewhat coquettishly: "I went to buy some items. In a few days... it will be my sixteenth birthday. My father promised to let me buy some things by myself.
things, so they ran farther.”
Xu Zizhen exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Is it farther away? Your capital is in Lhasa, right?"
Duoqi Dolma gave him a strange look: "Yes, have you been there?"
Xu Zizhen, who had never been to Lhasa, nodded and said vaguely: "Don't worry about it... I'm going too far. I said your father can trust you and let you run so far away without fear of any accidents."
,For example, like today, if it weren’t for..."
Just as he said this, the leader of the fake horse thieves happened to be escorted over. At this time, his face had long lost the initial momentum. The annihilation of dozens of his men had left him with no fighting spirit, and the leather jacket on his body was also gone.
It was badly broken, and its face was covered with blood and mud. It was obvious that it had been beaten violently by Bu Fen's men.
Bu Fen walked up to him, patted his cheek gently, and said calmly: "Tell me, what is your name? Who asked you to come? Why do you want to arrest this little girl? Three questions, one less answer.
Or if you answer one wrong question, I will make you regret meeting me."
The leader of the fake horse thieves did have some backbone. Although he had been tortured to the point where he could no longer breathe, he gritted his teeth and glared at Bu Fen and said: "I never know what regret means. If you have the guts, you can kill me. Sooner or later, I will join the Stone Division."
The army..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a miserable cry, and his right arm fell to the ground without any warning, and blood spurted out from his wound like it was free.
Bu Fen didn't know when he had a knife in his hand, and there was a bright stain of blood on the blade. His expression remained unchanged, and he asked calmly: "I'll give you another chance, tell me."
The fake horse thief leader's face was as pale as a paper. If Bu Fen's two men hadn't held him from side to side, he might have fallen to the ground. He gritted his teeth and finally said: "My... my name is Ali.
His Highness King Jishi sent me... to invite the little princess back."
Bu Fen looked at the steel knife in his hand and asked, "Why are you arresting her?"
Ali's expression had become desperate, and there was only a deathly gray color in his eyes. He glanced at Bu Fen's knife and said with a sad smile: "I said yes, but please give me a good time, Shopkeeper Bu."
Bu Fen raised his eyelids and looked at him, nodded and said: "Seeing that you are also a man, I promise you, one blow!"
Ali breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "I only know that the King of Lhasa wants to send troops to help the Song Dynasty attack the Liao Dynasty, but my Highness asked me to invite the little princess to use her to force the King of Lhasa to retreat. The rest... I
This identity is unknown."
Xu Zizhen heard clearly from the side, and his heart suddenly trembled. He had no idea what the King of Lhasa and King Jishi meant, but he could tell from Ali's words that the King of Lhasa obviously occupies a very important position in Tubo.
Otherwise, this Jishi King wouldn't have had to hold Duoqi Dolma as a hostage to do such disgusting things.
The relationship between Tubo and the Song Dynasty is good these days, so it is reasonable to send more troops to attack the Liao Kingdom, but why does King Jishi want to stop it? Does he have anything to do with the Liao Kingdom? Or Xixia? Or...
Before he could finish his thoughts, Dorchi Dolma suddenly tightened his pretty face and asked urgently: "You said King Jishi wants to force my father to retreat? Could it be that he has already sent people to Lhasa?"
Ali did not hide anything from him, and said calmly: "The 30,000 troops of the Jishi tribe have already passed. As long as the little princess is in our hands, the King of Lhasa will definitely be defeated."
