Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Early Tang Dynasty.

The tribes in the Erhai Lake area merged with each other to form six major tribes, Mengzhao, Yuexizhao, Langqiongzhao, Biyuzhao, Shilangzhao, and Mengshezhao, called Liuzhao.

These six tribes restrained each other. Later, with the support of the Tang Dynasty, the Mengshe Zhao unified the six Zhao Zhao and called it Nan Zhao.

After the unification, Nanzhao's ambitions expanded, and it colluded with Tubo and Datang to start a war.

From then on, Nanzhao successively fought against Datang for hundreds of years, and even broke through Chengdu, abducting hundreds of thousands of people.

At this time, the Six Edicts were still weak and could not pose a real threat to Datang.

However, the population of Bashu increased, and when it expanded to the south, it still had conflicts with Liuzhao.

Seeing this problem, the Turks sent people to collude with Liuzhao to deal with Datang together.

There are conflicts between the six edicts, but they have the same position on the issue of dealing with Datang.

The land of the Six Edicts is full of miasma and pestilence, and its people are good at using Gu poison.

Although the tribe is divided into many factions, the worship of Gu poison is common.

They have the same primitive beliefs, they also admire Gu poison, and recognize the leader of the same Gu religion, who is the saint.

Sanmei'er came out of Changshoufang's house and put on a cloak, covering most of her face.

Walking to the lively Zhuque Street, the men and women on the road are wearing new-style clothes, and the city is extremely lively.

For more than ten years, Chang'an City has become the capital of the world, gathering the best things in the world.

All this excitement, but Sanmeier didn't show the slightest interest at all.

Sanmeier passed Zhuque Avenue and walked to Qinglongfang.

It is next to Quchifang and Furong Garden, which is relatively secluded.

A house, there are a lot of horseshoe marks at the door, and there is a pile of horse manure next to it.

When they reached the door, Sanmeier knocked on the door.

There was a slight rustling sound inside, and a small opening in the door opened.

A dark brown eye peeked out.

If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely be frightened by the sudden appearance of the sinister eyes.

But Sanmei'er remained expressionless, and pulled up her cloak, exposing most of her face, and then put it down again.

The door opened, and a lean man with short hair poked his head out and looked around vigilantly, then stepped aside and Sanmeier walked into the yard.

The man looked to both sides again and closed the door after making sure there was no one there.

Entering the yard, there were three women, six men, plus the one who opened the door just now, exactly ten.

The costumes of these people are not like those of the Tang Dynasty, but the costumes of the Western Regions.

Third sister came in and took off her cloak.

People from the Western Regions wear short-sleeved shirts and have tattoos on their bodies.

The man who opened the door just now said with a sneer, "It's not too hot to wear a cloak."

The other nine people sneered, but did not speak.

Sanmeier ignored them, but asked coldly, "Where is the wolf?"

The man who opened the door just now smiled, and brought Sanmeier into the room.

After passing the room and going out the back door, you can see a backyard.

Dozens of people from the Western Regions are making gunpowder.

Charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter, the three raw materials are carefully purified and prepared.

A burly man with a machete on his waist.

This person is in his 40s, with a beard and a scar around his eye, which looks like it was left when he was fighting for life and death.

The stomach is slightly raised, but not bloated. It is more appropriate to describe it as a bear.

"Boss, the saint is here."

said the man.

Sanmeier is the saint of the Six Edicts Gu Sect.

Seeing the third sister coming in, the man nicknamed the wolf raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"What's the matter with the saint coming here?"

said the wolf.

Sanmeier looked at the people around her and said nothing.

The first wolf knew that she thought there were too many people here.

"Come with me."

The wolf led the third sister into a quiet room, a wolf's head and a pair of horns hung on the wall.

The first wolf sat down carelessly, not on his knees, but on his buttocks.

Sanmeier sat cross-legged, not kneeling.

Sanmeier was always wearing a cloak, but took off the hood on her head.

The wolf laughed and said: "It seems that you are not used to the way the Tang people kneel and sit."

People in the Western Regions sit on chairs and stools, and they are not used to the way people in the Central Plains sit on their knees.

The third sister is not used to it either.

A woman came in with a silver jug, sharp eyes, and a dagger at her waist.

There are round cups in front of the wolf and the third sister.

The woman poured a glass of goat milk for the wolf first, then turned around and poured another glass for the third sister.

When pouring the goat's milk, the corner of the woman's mouth gave a slight smirk.

Sanmeier remained calm and ignored her.

After pouring the goat milk, the woman went out and closed the door.

The first wolf took the goat's milk and drank it, saying, "Try it, it's delicious."

Sanmeier didn't do anything, just took a look.

"We won't play Gu like you, don't worry about drinking."

There is a sense of ridicule in the words of the wolf head.

Sanmeier said coldly, "I'm not used to drinking."

The alpha wolf didn't insist anymore, it didn't matter whether he drank or not, anyway, he wouldn't play Gu.

"Why did the saint come here today?"

asked the wolf.

Sanmeier said, "I'm here to discuss something with you."

The head wolf laughed and said, "Saint, please tell me."

Sanmei'er said slowly: "That Wan Chuan said that Li Shimin and Su Yu will hold a ceremony of transcendence on the Ghost Festival and hold a celebration in Yongyangfang."

"I estimate that Li Shimin and Su Yu will appear there at that time. This is an excellent opportunity."

"We can think about it and change the plan."

The alpha wolf asked, "Is the news conclusive?"

Sanmeier nodded and said: "The news must be accurate. There are two people in charge of this puja, one is Hu Cao Wanchuan, and the other is the son-in-law Chen Meiren."

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Wan Chuan said, I can completely control it."

"Can you handle it at Yongyang Fang?"

The Western Turks and Liuzhao colluded and went to Chang'an City together.

They originally planned to launch an attack in Chang'an City to assassinate Li Shimin and Su Yu.

According to the original plan, they would launch the attack when Xiao Sizi got married.

But they also know that there will definitely be a very tight defense at that time, which is almost suicide.

Now that there is a Ghost Festival celebration, Yongyangfang's defense will definitely not be so good then.

After all, the celebration is attended by ordinary people, and good and bad people are mixed together, so it is easy for them to fish in troubled waters.

The wolf smiled and said, "That short fat man you followed is still useful."

These words seem to be mocking.

Sanmeier didn't care, but asked coldly, "Can you handle it?"

The wolf thought for a while and said, "No problem, we Turkic people also have our own tricks."

Sanmeier nodded and said, "It's good that there is no problem. The Ghost Festival is still a month away. You should prepare well."

The head wolf feels that Sanmeier is teaching him how to do things, and he is not happy.

"How many people have come from your six imperial edicts?"

asked the wolf head suddenly.

The corners of Sanmei'er's mouth slightly raised, this was the first time she showed an expression.

"I have as many people as I want."

Sanmeier got up, put on the hood of the cloak, and pushed the door to go out.

After leaving Qinglongfang, Sanmeier returned to Changshoufang's home.

The servant went on with his work, seemingly oblivious to her return.

Pushing the door open and entering the room, Wan Chuan was drinking.

Facing the empty seats, Wan Chuan smirked and drank.

"Beauty, come, have a drink."

Wan Chuan looked at the empty seats with a grin.

Sanmeier sat on the seat opposite, took out a small pitch-black jar, and a small worm crawled out.

Sanmeier put the worms into Wan Chuan's wine and watched him drink it.

"Listen, do as I tell you."

Sanmeier said in a commanding tone.

Wan Chuan stopped suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared, and he sat there numbly, his eyes staring straight.

"I listen to the master."

Wan Chuan said.

The third sister began to give orders.
