Nu Yalang of Tang Dynasty

Ten days later, Sang Chiruo dragged his tired body back to the Gal family's clan.

The family slaves who were guarding the mountain pass saw the flag of the cavalry, ran down the hill in a hurry, and knelt down on the road again.

Sang Chiruo was shocked, stopped and asked quickly: "Has anyone been at home since I left?"

The slave said: "Master, a few days ago, the leaders of this wing came with many soldiers and said they wanted to question the Gar family."

Sang Chiruo asked anxiously: "Did they arrest someone?"

House slave: "The clan closed the fort gate, went to Xia Zha's house to invite reinforcements, and faced off with the leaders of this wing for a few days, and then those people left."

Sang Chiruo breathed a sigh of relief: "Where are the Xia Zha family members?"

House slave: "They are stationed in the clan fort."

Sang Chiruo: "Lead the way, I'm going to meet them."

House slave: "Yes."

Following the mountain road, winding upwards, Sang Chiruo and his companions finally came to a clan fortress built on the hills.

Outside the fort gate, there were fully armed soldiers guarding every important road. Sang Chiruo saw the beads on their waists and knew that they were all warriors of the Xia Zha family.

Walking along the trail, in a sea of ​​Gesang flowers, Sang Chiruo saw an unexpected person.

An aristocratic woman with a delicate face, healthy and strong, and clear and bright eyes stood among the flowers with a smile and looked at Sang Chiruo.

"Yang Jin, what are you doing here?" Sang Chiruo quickened his pace, with anxiety in his tone, but he couldn't suppress the joy in his expression.

Yang Jin patted the short knife on his waist, smiled at Sang Chiruo and said, "I'm here to help you."

Sang Chiruo: "It's dangerous here, you should stay at home."

Yang Jin: "When it comes to arching and horse skills, even my brothers in the family are no match for me."

Sang Chiruo shook his head helplessly. Yang Jin was the youngest daughter of the Xia Zha family and the apple of the family's eye. Everyone usually gave in to her, which inexplicably boosted her self-confidence.

"Sang Chiruo!"

A loud shout made Sang Chiruo look back.

Trilie Dorje, the eldest son of the Xia Zha family and the eldest brother of Yang Jin, stood in front of the main door of the main house and walked slowly towards Sang Chiruo.

Standing in front of Sang Chiruo, Trilie Dorje asked in a deep voice: "Did you lose the battle?"

Sang Chiruo nodded.

Trilie Dorje: "Twenty-five thousand troops, how many have returned?"

Sang Chiruo: "It's less than two thousand."

Trilie Dorje's body trembled and he took a breath of cold air.

After a long time, Trilie Dorje glanced at Yang Jin and said to Sang Chiruo: "Go in and talk."

Trilie Dorje took Sang Chiruo into the main house. He turned around and saw that Yang Jin also wanted to follow in, so he said, "The man wants to talk about business, and the woman is waiting outside."

Yang Jin was stunned for a moment, then an angry look appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Sang Chiruo quickly grabbed Yang Jin and said, "Wait outside for a moment. I will come out soon."

Yang Jin looked at Sang Chiruo, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave.

Entering the house, Trilie Dorje said: "Last year, you won a great victory in Tang State's Shazhou and brought back countless treasures. Zuzan and the nobles were extremely happy, thinking that Tang State's Shazhou was empty of defenses and a treasure house.

land."

Sang Chiruo listened quietly.

Trilie Dorje: "My father once advised Zuzan that the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses are strong and should not be underestimated. But seeing the treasures you brought, the leaders have been blinded and can't listen to them. Those words of yours are tantamount to provocation.

aroused their desires."

Sang Chiruo lowered his head and said, "I made a mistake."

Trilie Dorje: "You think that after you have made great achievements, the leaders will let you lead the army, but have you ever thought that you are from the Gar family and your family has committed heinous crimes in Tubo, so how can you get the reward?"

trust?"

Hearing this, Sang Chiruo dug his nails into his flesh, his face was gloomy, and he used a lot of strength to whisper: "You are right, I should be more careful in what I say and do."

Trilie Dorje: "It is useless to talk about this now. After the defeat of the Northern Expedition, the nobles must find someone to take responsibility, and you are the best choice. Previously, Yang Jin received a letter and heard that someone wanted to do evil to the Gar family.

, she went to beg her father to send an army to protect your family. However, the Xia Zha family can only help you so far. As for how Zuzan and the nobles will treat you, you should pray more to the gods.

Bar."

Sang Chiruo looked solemn and said slowly: "Everything I did was just to protect the Gar family."

Hearing this, Trilie Dorje took another look at Sang Chiruo, sighed, and said: "The Gar family has a lot of criticism, and the road you are going to take may be rough and bumpy. The Xia Zha family is now fighting for the deputy prime minister of Tibet.

In this position, there is no room for any mistakes in speech or conduct.”

Sang Chiruo: "I understand. I'm very grateful that you can help me."

Trilie Dorje lowered his voice: "It was Yang Jin's idea to send troops to protect the Gar family... I know that you and her grew up together, and last year your father verbally promised your marriage, but marriages within the clan cannot be based on emotions.

, in case something really changes in the future, you'd better be prepared in advance."

Sang Chiruo felt pain in his heart, but he pretended to have a clear expression on his face. He just nodded to Trilie Dorje and said, "I understand."

Trilie Dorje turned around and walked out of the main house, and saw Yang Jin lying next to the door frame, leaning his head to eavesdrop. He shook his head and said: "You are a nobleman of the Xia Zha family. You have to behave in a certain manner. What is it like to eavesdrop on others!"

"

Yang Jin looked at Trilie Dorje and said angrily: "You didn't let me enter the house, otherwise why would I be hiding here? Even if there is a sacrifice at home, my father will allow me to watch. The eldest brother is not the head of the family yet, so I can set up the score.

But it’s bigger than anyone else!”

Hearing this, Trilie Dorje had a headache, shook his head and left.

Seeing his elder brother walking away, Yang Jin quickly came to Sang Chiruo and whispered: "I heard from others that many people want to harm you. If you have nowhere to go, come to Xia Zha's house and I will kill you."

Place it in the yard where I live, and no one will dare to come and touch you!"

Sang Chiruo forced a smile and said to Yang Jin: "The Gar family's clan is here. If I leave, my clan members will be captured and the land will be taken away. What will happen to me?

"

Yang Jin was stunned and frowned.

Trilie Dorje's shout came from outside the door: "Yang Jin! It's time to go home!"

Yang Jin glanced outside the door, stamped his feet first, and then said to Sang Chiruo: "My father loves me the most. As long as I ask him, he will definitely help you. At worst, I will let the Xiazha family allocate a piece of land. You

Move the Gal family here directly..."

Sang Chiruo smiled and shook his head again. He couldn't bear to refute Yang Jin's innocent words.

Trilie Dorje's urging came again from outside the door.

Yang Jin turned back three times and slowly moved toward the door. He said again: "I will find my father when I get back. He will help you plead for mercy in front of Zuzan."

Sang Chiruo smiled and nodded, silent, watching Yang Jin leave his sight.
