At this moment, in front of the Buddha statue, Chang Sun Ze had been beaten so badly that he could not stand up. His face and body were covered with scars. After completing the task, Chang Sun Ze was full of energy and fantasized about bringing the news back to Chang'an City. His father and brother would definitely be proud of him.
When they were almost approaching the border, Chang Sun Ze didn't even send out scouts, but led his men forward.
Just as Li Xiang said, if you are a little careless, something bad may happen immediately. When Li Xiang called him in the military camp, he didn't take it seriously. They were about to reach Sichuan, which is our own territory. How could something bad happen there?
Thinking about it now, he really regretted it. It was in these last few dozen miles of land that he and his men encountered an ambush, an ambush by these bald donkeys in front of him.
Chang Sunze still remembers the situation at that time very clearly. The group of people in front fell directly into the trap, and most of them were trapped like a hornet's nest. Before the people behind could react, a large number of stones and logs rolled down from the side in an instant.
Even in such a desperate situation, Chang Sunze and his men still fought back, causing a lot of losses to these bald monks in front of them, but in the end they were outnumbered. Except for Chang Sunze and a few of his men, the rest were killed by these seemingly kind monks.
However, at the last moment, Chang Sun Ze destroyed the letter.
There happened to be a puddle nearby, so Chang Sunze simply turned the letter around in it for a few times. When these people took it out, nothing could be seen on it except a ball of ink.
"I've told you many times that the letter was sealed. I was just doing a favor. I have no idea what was on it. We are a caravan from Chang'an, from the Fuyuan Trading Company..."
Chang Sun Ze said very weakly that he didn't know how many times he had been tortured along the way, but if he had to answer, Chang Sun Ze only had these few words.
He knew that the other party didn't believe him, but he answered every time he was beaten. This way he could confuse the other party. When they beat him to the point of being exhausted, these bald donkeys would go down and think carefully. Could it be that what this guy said was true?
Fuyuan Trading Company also has dealings with Prince Zhennan. If what they said is true, then this time they might have really done something wrong. However, these people also have their own considerations. How could a trading company have so many good hands?
"Don't try to deceive us with that rhetoric. The people in our temple have been practicing dancing since they were young. They are arguably the strongest in our temple. Let alone a guard team of a trading company, even if we were to fight some of the palace guards of Nanzhao, we would not be at a disadvantage. But you killed so many people. Can you still say that you are a guard team of a trading company?"
One monk was so angry that he slapped Chang Sunze in the face. Because he had a special hook on his hand, Chang Sunze's face was instantly torn apart, and he howled in pain.
If he had not gained experience in the army, Chang Sun Ze would probably have said everything he said now. However, after staying in the army for such a long time, Chang Sun Ze also knew the honor of the Tang Dynasty army. In particular, he also wanted his father and brother to be proud of it and wash away the humiliation he had suffered.
So after being arrested, Chang Sunze had already decided that no matter how these people treated him, they had no evidence in their hands. Once His Highness knew about it, you guys would have a hard time. At that time, no matter how you treated me, I would pay you back tenfold or a hundredfold, and let you bald donkeys know that I am not someone to be trifled with.
Although Chang Sun Ze was captured by them, he had been counting the days in his heart. Although there was no sunlight in this room, he could calculate how many days had passed just by watching these people eating. His Highness should be arriving in Sichuan soon. As long as His Highness met with Lord Xiao Yu, he would know that he was still in Nanzhao. At that time, with the investigative ability of his men, they would be able to quickly find out who captured him.
The people in the temple didn't know much. They only knew that these people came from the Prince of Zhennan's Palace, but they didn't know their identities.
However, they knew that these people were very important because they were sent out by the Prince of Zhennan himself. Although they were not sent out of the city, even so, they were very important to the Prince of Zhennan's Palace. If we knew some of the secrets of the Prince of Zhennan, coupled with the king's dependence on us, Tianlong Temple would very likely become the number one force in Nanzhao.
So even though these monks know that they are doing something immoral, they still have to continue doing it. Who doesn't want to expand their influence?
Just when these people were tired of beating people, Qian Ping and Long Jiu made a forced march for a day and a night and finally returned to the capital of Nanzhao. If you want to blame someone, blame it on the fact that your country is too small and our marching speed is too fast.
At this moment, they also received the news that Li Xiang had met with Lord Xiao Yuxiao. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they were afraid that Li Xiang would stay in Nanzhao forever. If that was the case, the brothers might not be able to move freely, always worried that Li Xiang would be attacked. Now that we have our base, we have no scruples even if we turn the entire Nanzhao upside down.
Although everyone was getting by in the past few days, you now dare to attack our people directly, killing dozens of our best men at once, and the whereabouts of the rest are still unknown. It was you who took action first. We in the Tang Dynasty have never bullied the weak. You showed your sword to us first, so the price you paid will definitely be high.
"Does the father-in-law have any way to infiltrate?"
On the way here, Long Jiu had thought about it. He was definitely not as good as Qian Ping in thinking. Now he was not far from Shangqing Temple, so he had to have an action plan. He couldn't just go there in a daze.
"Rest for a few hours once we get to the surrounding area. I'll have someone find out the specific situation in the temple. There's no way to infiltrate, so we can only storm it."
Qian Ping's face was sinister. This guy had figured it out long ago. If he infiltrated slowly, who knows how long it would take. If we can afford to wait, can His Highness afford to wait?
Now that he was about to return to the capital, if Qian Ping had this achievement in his hands, he would be able to continue shaking after returning to the capital. In addition, Chang Sunze's life was also very precious...
