……

Tiancefu's huge war machine was in operation, and it didn't take half an hour to spread the news to Chang'an.At this time, the Tubo mission went astray, and they ran along the official road to Lantian County in the east of Chang'an.

After all, I didn't know the place very well, and I never stopped to ask people for directions along the way.

Lu Dongzan only thought that he could reach Chang'an by following the official road, but he didn't know that the whole surrounding of Chang'an was now repairing the official road.

This group of five hundred warriors of the envoy ran wild, and the more they walked, the more they felt that something was wrong. Lu Dongzan suddenly hurriedly tightened the reins, looked up at the sun and pondered: "We seem to be going in the wrong direction, this official way is to the east."

They came from the southwest, and they should go all the way to the north to Chang'an, but now the path leads to the east, and it goes without saying that they have taken a wrong turn.

The warriors looked up to observe the sky, and at this time also realized that they had indeed gone the wrong way.

Suddenly Cangyang Jialong noticed something, pointed to the far east and said in surprise, "Look at the big picture, there seems to be a lot of people there..."

Lu Dongzan's eyes flashed, and he sat on the horse and watched from afar.It's a pity that he is not a samurai, and his eyesight is not as good as Cangyang Jialong.

A samurai suddenly approached him, his eyes vigilant and said: "The great minister is cautious, and his commander suggests retreating. I see people everywhere, and it seems that there are thousands of people gathered there."

"Thousands of people?"

Lu Dongzan's pupils shrank, and he said subconsciously, "Look if they have weapons, and then see if their formation is an army?"

"Army? Shouldn't be an army..."

The samurai shook his head, looked far and wide, and reported: "Those people seem to be common people, and all of them are in rags? Strange, thousands of people gathered together, they seem to be building roads..."

"Build the road?"

Lu Dongzan was stunned for a moment, then he whipped his horse whip and said solemnly, "All officers and men are careful and vigilant, and follow the Prime Minister to have a look."

The samurai complied with a bang.

The Chang Sui rushed over, and eagerly stopped him, "You can't do this, you should go to Chang'an first."

Lu Dongzan glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I'm going to see the road repair, I'm very uneasy if I don't see it."

"Why is that? What's so good about building roads?"

Lu Dongzan exhaled, suddenly pointed to the ground under the horse's hoof, and said solemnly: "Have you noticed that the road of the Tang Dynasty is very strange."

You don't need him to tell everyone about it.

Everyone rushed all the way and found that the road was extremely hard, not only extremely hard, but also abnormally flat.Horses running on it will make a crisp sound of dang dang dang.

"This way of building roads, the truth must be seen..."

Lu Dongzan said one more sentence, twitching the whip and hitting the horse forward.

All the warriors looked at each other, Cangyang Jialong curled his lips indifferently, and said, "Since the great minister wants to see, let's keep him to see. Anyway, there are all road-building people there, even if there are many people, there is no danger. ."

So the envoy ran wild again and came to the place in a short time.

At this time, it was discovered that not only a thousand people were building the road, but several thousand-level teams.

Lu Dongzan stopped his horse and looked around, suddenly his pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out the words, his face full of shock: "Slave?"

That's right, the people who build the roads are all slaves.

Why can you spot a slave at a glance?Just because the clothes these people wear reveal everything.But I saw that all these people had a big "slave" written on their chests, and a series of small serial numbers on the back of their clothes.

Lu Dongzan's eyes kept flashing, frowning and pondering: "The Tang Dynasty is known as benevolent and righteous, and even death row prisoners are rarely executed. Why are there slaves here, and there are still thousands of slaves?"

Cangyang Jialong next to him suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face full of greed and said: "Did you see that these slaves actually have a shovel in their hands. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is already so rich that they even have to give out shovels to build roads?"

Iron is a valuable material and is generally only used to make weapons and agricultural tools. The Tibetans are reluctant to fight even agricultural tools. They only use iron to make weapons.

"I really want to rob them..." Cangyang Jialong licked the corner of his mouth.

Lu Dongzan glanced at him, noncommittal.

In fact, this Tibetan prime minister is also very greedy, and just now there was an urge to robbery in his heart.

Chapter 566 The Tubo People Discovered Cement

At this time, the crowd on the opposite side of the road also found the Tibetan mission, and suddenly several soldiers who looked like overseers came out and asked from a distance, "Who are you waiting for?"

Lu Dongzan's eyes flashed, and he put one hand behind his back to signal the soldiers not to be arrogant, but he himself got off his horse, smiled and saluted the overseer soldiers: "This general is polite, we are foreign missions. .I saw that your way of building roads is very miraculous, and I couldn't help but stop and watch."

The soldier on the other side gave a cold smile, and suddenly shouted loudly with a knife in his hand, and said: "Foreign mission? I think you are clearly from the Tubo..."

Lu Dongzan looked at his clothes and knew that his clothes revealed his identity.

He knew that pretending was useless, so he had no choice but to nod and admit it, saying: "The little general looks right, I am indeed a Tubo mission, but you don't have to hate us, Tubo is here for peace..."

When he said this, his eyes rolled a few times, and suddenly he stretched out his hand to point to his hooked nose, and said solemnly: "My fellow Lu Dongzan is the prime minister of Tubo, and this official position is equivalent to your prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. I don't know the little general. Have you heard of it?"

The soldier on the opposite side looked cold and snorted softly: "I'm not a general, I'm just a road repair supervisor in Tiance Mansion."

Lu Dong smiled and said flatteringly: "Being able to supervise tens of thousands of slaves is already the power of a general in our Tubo..."

In the middle of the conversation, he suddenly changed his words, pointed at Cangyang Jialong beside him, smiled and said: "Just now I forgot to introduce the truth, this is Prince Cangyang Jialong, he is one of our thirteen princes of Tubo, and he is also Songtsan Gampo's cousin. If you count according to your Tang title, he should be a prince..."

The reason why Lu Dongzan kept introducing himself was self-evident.

He deliberately wanted to give the fighters on the opposite side an illusion: that is, they are all big men from Tubo, and they stopped to watch just to satisfy curiosity. Big men will not do things like chickens and dogs, and they will not have any intentions towards you supervisors and slaves. .

It is a pity that the eyes of the soldiers on the opposite side are still vigilant, and he asked coldly: "What are you trying to do? Since it is a mission, why don't you go to Chang'an? You must know that this is Lantian County, which is fifty miles away from Chang'an."

Lu Dongzan pretended to be a little stunned, then pretended to slap his forehead again, and said with a wry smile: "We really went in the wrong direction, the road of your Tang Dynasty is really amazing, the prime minister thought that the widest road would definitely lead to Chang'an, but unexpectedly It's the road to the county seat."

As he said, he took a few steps forward again and deliberately flattered: "It's amazing, are these roads built by the general's supervision?"

The overseer soldier took two steps back and continued coldly: "What's so powerful, it's all the credit of my prince. If he hadn't invented cement, who would have built such a solid road..."

"Cement?" Lu Dongzan's heart moved, but his face pretended to be enlightened, as if he knew what cement was, he deliberately slapped his forehead and said, "It turns out that this is cement, I didn't think it would really be useful to build a road. You said The prince should be Prince Zhao of the West Palace, he wrote a letter not long ago to ask the old man to buy cement!"

This is obviously a lie, but his face is very solemn.

The little soldier was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "My lord wants to sell cement to you?"

Lu Dongzan laughed and said, "The prime minister is the prime minister of Tubo. Your prince is famous for making money from outsiders. He invented cement to build roads, so he naturally found a way to sell it to me at a high price..."

The highest level of lies is half truth and half falsehood, half truth and half falsehood. Han Yue really likes to make money from outsiders, but he will not sell cement to outsiders at all.

The little warrior's expression slowed down a little, but he still asked cautiously, "Do you know my prince?"

Aiwu and Wuxia, just because the other party may know his own prince, the little soldier even changed his name to you, which shows that Han Yue has a high prestige in the hearts of the bottom soldiers.
