Chapter 161 My heart is in summer

At the foot of Longcuo City.

At this time, Luo Ning was wearing a Xia cloak, a Tibetan insect skin scarf, and a divine horse like a dragon under his crotch.

Coupled with his handsome appearance and elegant temperament, he looks like a powerful young man.

Tubo Bai Changbujia and Qiongjie dismounted their horses together, came to Luoning's horse, caressed their chests and bowed their heads together, saying:

"Longcuo City has arrived, please give your orders!"

Lord Longcuo waved his hand, "Let's go! Enter the city!"

"La!" the two centenarians responded like thunder.

Rumble—

The Tibetan cavalry, who were like wolves and tigers, rushed into the city gate on horseback. The guards at the city gate knew the identity of the intruder and did not dare to stop them.

………

Longcuo City, the tribal envoy's residence.

The tribal envoy's mansion was the Xifan County mansion back then.

After the Western Fan fell to Tubo, the governor's mansion was used as an official residence by three tribes that surrendered to Tubo.

The three tribal envoys are all stationed in Longcuo City.

At this time, private soldiers were densely deployed inside and outside the county governor's mansion, and the security was tight. The children of the three wealthy families who came in and out all looked unhappy.

Luo Ning is coming to take over!

Today, they will give up the power of Longcuo Sanbu with great reluctance.

The abominable Tubo princess actually designated the three parts of Longcuo as her dowry territory!

Didn't this woman see their loyalty to the Tubo royal court?

Nowadays, the three tribes of Longcuo have become Rob Deji's dowry territory, and the official position of the tribal envoy has been revoked.

Princess, with just one sentence, three tribal envoys were dismissed. What big deal is that?

But for them, it is a drastic change that is painful to the bone!

This means that the days when they took charge of the three departments are gone forever.

In the Mingguang Hall in the middle of the splendid official residence with carved beams and paintings, three seventh-grade monks wearing Tubo official uniforms sat side by side.

These three people had gloomy expressions, and they were the tribal envoys of Longcuo Tribe.

Chu Wei, Ai Shao, Fu Jing.

They are seventh-grade monks, holding eighth-grade official positions, but they enjoy it very much.

Chu Wei, Ai Shao, and Fu Jing were all officials of the Western Fan County at that time, and were originally Xia Chen.

The three families are also local wealthy Xia people.

After Tubo captured Xifan, the county guards and county magistrates died and fled.

They took the opportunity to lead the people to surrender to Tibet. Not only did they help Tibet suppress the rebellious Xia people, but they also actively promoted Tuboization and abolished counties and counties and transformed them into tribes.

With the blood of the Xia people, they finally gained the trust of the Tubo nobles and became tribal envoys.

For decades, they have been the leaders of the Xia tribe.

As long as they pay enough taxes, perform enough labor, and please good temple owners and lords, they can dominate the tribe.

The children of their family monopolize all the positions of village owners, leaders, and managers.

Just like the earthly emperor, he lives and kills, and follows his words.

Over the years, they have accumulated a lot of wealth and incurred great hatred.

Their family was extravagant, sensual and sensual, even worse than those of the Tubo nobles.

However, just a few decades after such good times, they lost their official positions.

Their tribe has become the dowry territory of the princess!

In the Guangming Hall, everyone involved in the secret discussion looked ugly.

"I regret it." Chu Wei, who was sitting in the middle, sighed.

"In recent years, in order to prevent the Tubo people from suspecting our ambitions, we have only cared about enjoying ourselves, but we have neglected to enhance the strength of our people."

"Right now, my three families have less than forty monks in total, and 80% of them are ninth-grade monks."

"There is not even a single sixth-grade master."

"Now that we have been revoked from our official positions, with our strength, it is no longer easy to occupy a place in Xifan."

"We are not Tubo people after all."

Fu Jing said in a bitter tone: "Isn't it true? Not only has the official position been lost, but also the backer has been lost."

"I have been fawning over Yanshi Temple for all these years, and I don't know how many beauties and gold treasures I have given away to you!"

"But I never expected that Gusa Living Buddha actually fell! The bloody battle between the Yanshi Temple and the Human Bone City, my vitality was severely damaged, and I couldn't protect myself. How could they care about us?"

Ai Shao also sighed, his expression unable to hide the regret, "That's it! Now we can only hug each other to keep warm."

"Brothers, this is the end, I have an idea, maybe it's a way out."

Chu Wei's eyes lit up, "Brother Ai has always been resourceful, your idea is definitely feasible. Come and tell me."

More than a dozen eyes in the painting hall were directed at Ai Shao, all looking expectantly.

Ai Shao spoke eloquently: "Although we monks are different from the common people, what is the point of losing our official position?"

"Among the rivers and lakes and in the green forest, there are still few monks? But in Shunzhou, which river and lake power is more nourishing than us?"

"It can be seen that we can never let go of our official position and power!"

"Once you let go and become a power in the world, the world will inevitably decline."

Fu Jing frowned, "That's true, but we haven't tried it before. There are no official positions for us Xia people in Shunzhou. No matter how generous we give you, the Jiedushi will not remove the official positions of the Tubo people and give them to

Let’s do it.”

"Alas, we are from Xia after all, damn it."

"Hehe." Ai Shao sneered, "Who said you should be an official of the Tubo people? If you can't be an official of the Tubo people, why can't you still be an official of the Xia people?"

He pointed to the east and gritted his teeth and said: "If the west is not bright, the east is bright! If you don't stay here, you will have a place to stay!"

"The nobles of Tubo have abandoned us, so we will simply... return eastward!"

What? Return to the East?

Everyone was shocked by Ai Shao's words.

Decades ago, they all voluntarily surrendered to Tibet, and their hands were stained with the blood of the Xia people. If they returned east, wouldn't they be seeking death?

Ai Shao smiled slightly and said loudly: "Please invite Fellow Daoist Zhuo and Fellow Daoist Xue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall young man and a tall man entered the painting hall.

The young man is a Taoist cultivator in the early stage of the seventh grade. He has a handsome appearance and luxurious clothes. At first glance, he is a handsome man with a good family background.

The tall man was an eighth-grade monk, no more than thirty years old, and he seemed to have a good background.

If Luo Ning were present, he would definitely recognize the two of them.

One is Xue Bingyu's brother-in-law, Zhuo Yun, the direct son of the Zhuo family.

One is Inspector Xue who escaped from the battle in Shiqiao Town and is also a member of the Xue clan.

Zhuo Yun and Xue Xingchang have been staying in Shunzhou for more than half a year. They said they were doing business, but in fact they had other important matters and the business was just a cover.

In the past half year, they have become very familiar with these Xia tribesmen.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, Fellow Daoist Xue, you..."

When everyone saw the two people appearing, they understood immediately.

Zhuo Yun sat down calmly, looking like a handsome young man, lifting up his clothes and sitting with his legs crossed.

"Everyone, at this point, you can only go back east."

Zhuo Yun said straight to the point, with a firm tone and full of wisdom.

"What should I say? It's obvious."

"In recent years, you people in the Xia tribe have been too greedy and cruel. To put it bluntly, even those Tubo nobles are displeased with you."

"This time, by using the Tubo princess to encircle the land, I simply beat your officials. Isn't it considered to be crossing the river and burning the bridge?"

"But even if we cross the river and demolish the bridge, what can you do except endure it? This is the territory of the Tubo people, and the power is in their hands."

"You have lost your official position and lost the protection of Yanshi Temple. I'm afraid... you will be guilty of carrying a jade! What is the wall? It is your family wealth!"

"If you still stay in Xifan County, sooner or later you will be exterminated by the Tubo nobles... and your family will be confiscated!"

Chu Wei's expression did not change, "Oh? According to Mr. Zhuo's words, if we return to Yizhou, we will not be questioned? Although we had no choice but to surrender to the foreigners, we were always in Tubo and our hearts were in Xia.

But can those gentlemen in Yizhou understand?"

Zhuo Yun smiled, "Of course they can't understand it. But if the benefits are enough, they can understand it."

"The situation in Yizhou is different now. Half of Yizhou has been occupied by rebels. The state herders and county guards are recruiting talents to suppress the thieves and calm the people."

"If you go back now, as long as you take care of everything and participate in suppressing the rebels, your husband will not hold you accountable."

"As long as you have an official position, you can still make money back."

When everyone heard this, they all smiled with relief.

As long as money can solve it, it’s not a big deal!

Fu Jing said happily: "Master Zhuo, there are no outsiders in this room. Just make an offer."

"Okay! Have fun!" Zhuo Yun said, stroking his palms, "Then Zhuo will do business with you on behalf of the Zhuo family and the Xue family today."

"One million taels of gold and ten thousand pieces of spiritual stone!"

"We guarantee that all three of your families will return to Yizhou safely. In addition, there are three official positions of deputy regimental envoys, up to the seventh rank!"

Everyone gasped when they heard one million taels of gold and ten thousand spiritual stones.

What a big mouth a lion has.

This is a fortune worth two million gold!

Accounting for half of the combined savings of the three families!

But if you don't agree, you won't be able to return eastward.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came in and reported: "Sir! The Lord of Longcuo City has led the Tibetan soldiers into the city and is heading here!"

Coming!

Everyone's expressions changed.

"Mr. Zhuo, we agree!" Chu Jing said as he slapped the table.

"My heart is in the summer, and I will return to the east!"

At this point, I can only agree to Zhuo Yun.

You can't stay here and have your home confiscated by those Tubo nobles!
