Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 219 Encounter in Dunhuang City
"Great victory on the front line! Our army's [-] broke through [-], and the first battle has been won!"

As soon as he arrived in Suzhou, an urgent report came back, and Xiaodoudou's food transportation team boiled instantly. Lu Chengqing took the military report, laughed and said, "There are two peerless masters, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang and General Yuwen, in charge, plus I have three thousand Xuanjia in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention fifty thousand enemies, even one hundred thousand can come and go freely, as expected! It seems that this trip will be very smooth, maybe there is no need to transport food twice."

"Lu Shilang, I will pass the victory report back to Chang'an at the end, so I won't stay any longer." The messenger said goodbye.

"Wait a minute, the little princess has a letter from home, please send it back to His Royal Highness King Qin on your behalf."

After everything was arranged, Lu Chengqing came over to tell Xiao Doudou the good news, and persuaded him: "Your Highness, this Suzhou was originally called Dunhuang, and it was a famous city on the northwestern border of our country. It was called Dunhuang in the early years. Renamed to Suzhou. Now that the front line has won a great victory, the pressure on our army has been reduced, and nothing will happen. The princess can go to Suzhou City to visit the customs and customs here."

Xiao Doudou asked curiously: "Really? Is there anything delicious here?"

"Uh... the border is bitterly cold, and there is a lack of food. Of course, even if it is scarce, it is better than military rations. However, there are many statues in Buddhist temples and caves here. Because it is located in the northwest and close to the Western Regions, Buddhism was first introduced to the Western Regions and then to China. Soil, here naturally Buddhism is more prevalent. Many Buddhist monks built temples on the mountain, chiseled the walls and carved Buddha statues for caves, and it became a scene over time." Lu Chengqing said.

Little Doudou was obviously not interested, and shook his head and said, "Buddha statue? What's so interesting about a pile of dirt and rocks? It's better than that bald monk telling stories. Alas, it's a pity that he was arrested by the fourth uncle and sent to fight."

Seeing that the little guy was not very happy, Li Ninger, the captain of the guard, took the initiative to invite her to go shopping in the city. No one would refuse this proposal, and Xiao Doudou readily agreed, so he set off with three hundred guards. It's the biggest shopping trip ever.

But there were more than 300 people, all riding horses, walking in the small city of Dunhuang. Not only did it look crowded, but the people were so frightened that they ran around and fled. Even the shops were closed to avoid disaster. How could there be an atmosphere of shopping?

So under Xiao Doudou's strong suggestion, they broke up into parts, and 300 people put on casual clothes and dispersed. Xiao Doudou only brought a dozen or so people by his side. Gradually, the street regained a little vitality, and the group bought some gadgets. , and then came to the largest restaurant in the city to eat.

"Sister Ning'er, try it quickly, it looks like a dried fruit made of grapes, it tastes sour and sweet, it's delicious..." Xiao Doudou said enthusiastically.

Several female guards laughed, and Li Ninger nodded: "This is indeed a famous delicacy in the Western Regions. The Western Regions are rich in grapes. After the fruit is ripe and picked, it will be dried into raisins. This thing is a common snack here. , but transported to Chang'an, the price is very expensive, it is not affordable for ordinary people, if the little princess likes it, eat more, if it is not enough, I will ask the waiter to serve another plate."

"Enough is enough, we will ask them for a bag after we finish our meal, and we can eat it on the way."

... Isn't that enough?Why take a bag with you?

"Hey, finish eating quickly and report to the prince. The prince is smart enough to turn defeat into victory by cutting off the enemy's food roads. Now I heard that the Datang grain transport team has arrived in Suzhou. As long as we find out the exact location, hey, rob them." Food and grass, when the time comes, their army will starve to death."

In the corner of the tavern, a table of plainly dressed Western Turkic spies whispered. Their voices were very low, and they spoke Turkic, so basically no one could detect their identities. After all, this is the border, where fish and dragons are mixed, and they came here to eat There are many people, including those from the Western Regions, the grasslands, and the Tang Dynasty, everywhere.

It just so happens that there is such a person who can understand and has a good ear, and it is none other than a pseudo-peerless master——Xiao Doudou.

"What's the matter, little princess? Have you eaten any gravel? When the grapes are drying, it's normal for them to be covered with a little dust due to the wind and sand. Let me have a look..." Seeing Xiao Doudou suddenly stop eating snacks , hastily asked with concern.

Xiao Doudou lowered his voice and said, "Sister Ning'er, some people over there, I heard them say that they seem to be going to rob us of food and grass."

what?
The women stood up in an instant and looked into the corner. The movement was not small, and the spies were also surprised, but when they looked up, a group of women?A few people laughed again, women in this day and age who come out to show their faces must not be good people, maybe they have taken a fancy to our masters, but unfortunately, the masters are not free today.

They would never have imagined that there would still be female soldiers in Datang.

Li Ning'er scolded his subordinates, and everyone sat down to eat again. Li Ning'er asked Xiao Doudou, "Little Princess, how did you know? Those people were sitting so far away, we didn't hear them talking."

That's right, the captain was wise and almost made a mistake.Only then did the guards realize that they were sloppy.

Xiao Doudou explained: "I really heard that the Turkic dialect they speak is not the official dialect of our Tang Dynasty."

Li Ning'er quickly covered Xiao Doudou's mouth, "Little Ancestor, don't be so loud. If you scare away these scouts again, we will wait and see what happens. If they are really Western Turkic scouts, then we will follow the vine and quietly Keep up and counter them. By the way, tell me how you heard it first."

"It's that simple. I heard them. They speak so loudly. Don't mention them. I can hear the cooks in the back kitchen." Xiao Doudou spread his hands, expressing that it's as simple as that.

Everyone was speechless, it seemed that the only thing to say was that the little princess was very talented.

"Then how do you understand Turkic?" Li Ninger asked.

Xiao Doudou giggled and said: "During the Chinese New Year, I didn't say that I beat their prince. At that time, the guy was screaming and screaming. I couldn't understand it. I asked someone later. It turned out to be Turkic. I went to the root palace to learn a few old uncles who can speak Turkic, the Turkic language is very simple, the more difficult ones are the Tubo dialect and the Persian language of the Western Regions..."

What?Learn Turkic in a few days?You can even speak Tibetan and Persian?Everyone was stunned, how old are you, how can you hold so many things in your little brain?
Xiao Doudou repeated the other party's words, Li Ning'er made a decisive decision, stood still first, and sent someone to transport the grain army to inform the army to strengthen the defense!I led my own people to quietly follow these scouts, and finally found out the strength of the enemy.

Originally, Xiao Doudou had to follow, but being a scout and anti-reconnaissance is very demanding, so this time Li Ninger personally brought a few smart confidants there, but did not agree with Xiao Doudou to follow, the little guy could only complain and chew raisins to vent his anger , and returned to the escort of Ma Sanbao's Women's Legion.
