Chapter 274: The point of the maiman

The Raole Grassland covers a large area, and the Grand Governor's Office is located on the flattest and fertile grassland in the northeast of the grassland.

This season is the end of summer and the most lush water and grass in the year. If we say that the grassland at this time is the scene of a vast sky, vast wilderness, and the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep. However, on the way to the Grand Governor's Mansion, there are almost no flocks of cattle and sheep on the grasslands on both sides of the road. Occasionally, the pedestrians who meet are also wearing scimitars and long bows on the Xi people, and they run in the same direction with a serious expression.

The Xi tribe has begun to assemble! Tang Cheng felt a little more anxious when he saw this scene. Seeing that it was already the end of the month, it was impossible for the ghost Raole Grand Governor's Office to be built so far.

He gritted his teeth secretly, Tang Cheng knocked his feet hard on the horse's belly, and then lifted two points to rush forward and rushed forward.

As a pure nomadic people, the people of Rao Lexi are really not good at building cities. Even the Grand Governor's Office where King Xi is located is just a layer of earth walls. It would be a bit too forced to call such a thing "city".

When Tang Chengxiao stayed overnight and rushed to the ground, three days had passed since the first day of this month when he worshipped the Taimiao in Chang'an. The only thing that is to be thankful is that it would take some time for the news to be sent back from Chang'an to Rao Le. The two tribal leaders who were afraid of the attitude of the court had not yet raised troops before the exact news arrived. However, judging from the gathering of the Xi people along the way, their patience was obviously at its limit.

Seeing that the station of the Governor Rao Le's Office was still calm, Tang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. While riding on the horse, he looked at the earthen encirclement in front of him, which had almost no defense capabilities, and became increasingly determined to make plans on the way he came.

Tang Cheng and others stopped under the earthen encirclement for a while and saw a group of Xi Ding Zhuang, who was raising a bow and arrow, rushed out at the opening of the heavy wooden door with large iron nails in front of him.

These Xi people did not have a neat formation, but the seemingly messy team was quite good at taking care of each other. Seeing that these Xi people were not in good shape, the two teams of Tiancheng Army soldiers reached out and touched the crossbow hanging under their clothes on their waists.

Hearing the sound behind, Tang Cheng raised his hand and pressed it down, but he didn't look back and just looked at the strong and powerful man who was getting closer and closer in front of him.

"Who are you? Why are you here for?" Although the tone is strange, the strong Xiren is still Tang Yu after all. While asking, he looked at the more than a hundred Tiancheng Army soldiers behind Tang Cheng with a look of alert.

Since Emperor Taizong Li Shimin inspected the northern border areas, as the national strength of the Tang Dynasty steadily increased over the decades, its cultural influence has become increasingly greater. Not only the upper class of the Hu tribes in the north, but also the upper class of the small-state foreign tribes in the jurisdiction of Anxi, Andong and Annan Protectorate, they are quite proud to be able to speak Tang language and wear Tang clothes. This trend has even been passed down to Fusang Island through Silla. However, this is limited to the senior leaders of all races. Since the strong Xi people in front of them can speak Tangyin, they obviously have a high status among the clans.

"Sima of the Governor's Office of the Raole New Committee of the Ministry of Personnel came to perform his duties. The general's Tang Yu said very well!" Tang Cheng chuckled and spoke, while taking out the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel, the silver turtle bag, and handed them over in his arms.

The strong Xiren suddenly showed a deep joy on his face when he heard Tang Cheng's origin. After searching through the official documents in his hand with difficulty, he immediately gave a decent bow: "Mr. Tang is praised, please!"

The strong Xi people's Tang Yin and Tang Li were really more effective than anything else. They instantly relieved the tension of the Tiancheng soldiers, and many people even chuckled with Tang Cheng and Liu Suifeng.

"Please, General!" Tang Cheng returned a standard bow and walked into the wooden door.

The Zhuangshuo Xiren followed Tang Cheng's appearance and gestured on his hands twice before waved them again. Ding Zhuang, the Xiren who came out with him, collected his bows and arrows.

He tapped the horse's belly and walked side by side with Tang Cheng. The strong Xiren asked directly: "Mr. Tang, it has been rumored on the grassland that Tian Khan doesn't want to care about Rao Le anymore. Is this news true or false?"

Such a big thing is destined to be hidden from others! Tang Cheng sighed in his heart, but still smiled on his face: "Is there a king's land under the world? Although Tian Khan has the world, he will not abandon his son and a people easily. The general is too worried! By the way, how can the Grand Governor's Office go?"

"This is fine." This young Xi people, who is not very young, are obviously happy to hear such news, "I knew this was the Khitans. They had long coveted the beautiful water plants in Yanchuan. The Shali tribe was fascinated by the struggle for the throne and asked them to borrow their strength. The great god of Tianlang will sooner or later be punished to them."

The Khitans from the Songmo Governor's Office were involved. Although Tang Cheng was curious when he heard the news, he didn't say much. It was better to keep silent than to say a thousand words, especially for a newcomer. Anyway, he would know what he should know in the end, and it was not good to be too anxious.

The earthen surrounds were not big, and they soon arrived at the Grand Governor's Office. The Grand Governor's Office was originally built by Chang'an craftsmen according to the specifications of the royal palace. With the surrounding grasslands and simple earthen surrounds, they became more and more prosperous and grand.

"This is the Grand Governor's Office." The introduction of the Zhuangshuo Xi people was full of pride, "Please wait for Sima Tang"

He ran inside for a while and then walked out with another Xi man and handed Tang Cheng over to the Xi man. The strong man bowed his hand again and turned back to the front door. It has to be said that his bow this time was much more decent than the beginning.

The Xi man from the Governor's Office spoke a more awkward Tang accent, "The Governor is drinking on the terrace, please follow me." After saying that, he turned around and led the way without saying anything.

Seeing the Xi man's deep worries, Tang Cheng waved his hands to Liu Suifeng and others to signal them to wait here, and then followed the man up the steps and walked into the Grand Governor's Mansion.

The Raole Grand Governor's Office not only looks gorgeous from the outside, but the furnishings inside are extremely exquisite. There are many luxurious objects such as coral trees from Haidong, fragrant wooden screens from Zhenla Kingdom, gorgeous carpets from Persia, and other luxurious objects. These things are treasures from all over the world that Emperor Tang went out of the inner treasury after the tribute. After the accumulation of few, he dressed up this residence of King Xi more grand than the Royal Palace of Kings.

Looking at the Grand Governor's Office along the way and thinking about Tu Yezhuo's tent, Tang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head. There was no comparison between the two at all.

The terrace was built at the highest point of the Governor's Office. When Tang Cheng stepped on the last step, his vision suddenly opened. The camp tent that stretched for more than ten miles not far behind the earthen wing was unobstructed. There were countless Xi people running horses and practicing riding and shooting around the camp. Just looking at this scene, it was no less than 30,000 to 40,000 people.

This was obviously the people gathered by Li Chengzhong, but when Tang Cheng saw the scene of this man neighing, he not only did not feel at ease and joy, but instead frowned tightly.

Like the architectural style of the entire Grand Governor's Office, the terrace is also extremely gorgeous and atmospheric. The green grassland is everywhere. Sitting on such a gorgeous high platform in the cool breeze makes you feel intoxicating whether it is actual or psychological.

In short, because the terrain and surrounding scenery are too flat and natural and simple, people who are on this gorgeous palace and on the high terrace are easily able to develop a sense of power in their hands. I have a sense of psychological satisfaction in the world. For some people, this feeling will be addictive like drugs once they try it.

This was the first time Tang Cheng saw Li Chengzhong, a fat man in his fifties who had gained weight and was bloated. It seemed that he had been drinking this wine for some time. His red face was drunk, and his fat face was squeezed by the fat on his face and his eyes were filled with no spirit at all, and he was scattered.

Looking at Li Chengzhong in front of him, Tang Cheng inexplicably felt a deep dusk aura, which was mixed with a little despair. This feeling was like a person who knew he was suffering from a terminal illness and overeating without hesitation before his death. The more the carnival was, the deeper the despair behind it.

In addition to Li Chengzhong, there were four Xi people drinking with him. The youngest of the four was about forty years. They were all wearing Tang clothes like Li Chengzhong, and the Tang clothes were all bright colors, which made the four people look particularly eye-catching.

"Are you the new Sima?" Li Chengzhong didn't even look at the official documents and other items submitted by the servants. He threw them on the desk in front of him. The official documents of the Ministry of Personnel were immediately covered with dripping soup and wine, "Tell me, how many soldiers have you brought to me?"

As soon as Li Chengzhong's sarcastic question was spoken, the four patriarchs who were drinking with him suddenly sneered.

They already knew that the court was going to give up Rao Le! The performance of Li Chengzhong and others made Tang Cheng suddenly have such an idea in his mind, but since that is the case, why did the general who was guarding the gate ask such a question?

In an instant, facing this unexpected sudden situation, Tang Cheng's mind kept turning like a spark of battery. Yes, although Li Chengzhong and others already knew the news, they did not tell the people below that they did not want to do it but dared not. This person could become King Xi and rely on the support of the Tang court. The court was his greatest backer. At this critical moment, if the people below knew that he had lost his backer, he would not have to wait for the two tribes to attack, and he would no longer be able to sit still in the throne.

In terms of strength, let alone the two strong teams join forces, he can't stand it even if only one of them comes. Since Li Chengzhong already knows the attitude of the court, why is he still holding on?

"What, I'm mute?"

Tang Cheng ignored the increasingly intense ridicule and said in a faint tone: "There is no soldier except a few people."

"If there are no soldiers, why do you want to do?" Li Chengzhong's words were no longer just ridicule. He suddenly looked forward and stared at Tang Cheng with an enemy-like eyes, and said with hatred: "You said, since there are no soldiers, why are your treacherous court sending you here?"

"Oh! Governor Li is afraid that he has forgotten that if there is no traitorous court of my traitor, the Governor Li will not be the turn of Governor Li to live, let alone sit on this terrace and drink and have fun." Tang Cheng smiled coldly and retorted, "It is also my traitorous court who ordered me to come and save you, the ungrateful person!"

Tang Cheng said this and was shocked. He was "bold". After a moment of silence, he saw that the Xiren in red, who was closest to him, suddenly pulled out his waist knife and was about to pounce on him.

Tang Cheng was mentally prepared before saying this. As soon as the Xiren in red moved, he had turned his wrist and took out the yellow birch crossbow from the thin wind flask.

"I am talking to the prince, and it is your turn to speak for you, a ignorant, who is not aware of his rank?" The weather was sunny today. Under the sunlight shining on the terrace, the bow of the yellow birch crossbow in Tang Cheng's hand was becoming more and more cold. The body that Xi Han in red just rushed out stopped under the cold light pointed directly in front of his chest, but this guy was also holding a cruel horn. He had no intention of retreating at this point, and staring at Tang Cheng like a wolf.

"Sit down!" Li Chengzhong stopped the three patriarchs who stood up and smiled coldly, "I want to hear how you are going to save me?"
