Zha Lang knew Xu Zizhen's virtue, and he no longer circled with him at the moment, and said with the same smile: "Okay, but Zhuoya is not only the sister of this king, but also the goddess in the minds of the people of Tubo, what treasure does Xu Gongzi plan to use to court?" Why don't you give the gift list to the king first? ”

Xu Zizhen patted his sleeve and said angrily: "Dowry? No. ”

"I didn't ...... No? Zalang was stunned and looked at Xu Zizhen with wide eyes.

Xu Zizhen looked at Zalang with a strange expression and said, "Yes, Zhuoya is your sister, and she is the same as you, so there is no reason to give the dowry to your brother-in-law in this world, right?" ”

Zalang only felt a tightness in his chest: "This ...... You ......"

Xu Zizhen laughed: "Okay, Majesty, I won't joke with you anymore, to be honest, Zhuoya is already determined to follow me, if you don't agree to her, I'm afraid I'll elope with me, and you won't be able to get anything by then, thanks to the panic, right?" ”

Zalang said with a dark face: "Now this king has not caught anything. ”

"Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future." Xu Zizhen smiled, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over, "You take a look at this first." ”

Zarang took it, and there was a figure drawn in charcoal on the paper, long, round, with a seat underneath.

"It's ...... The artillery of the Great Song? Zarang's heart jumped, of course he knew this thing, and he had already had the idea of getting his hands on the cannon forging method.

Xu Zizhen shook his head: "It should be said that it is my improved artillery, which has a longer range and greater power, to put it mildly, I can flatten your Potala Palace by getting ten such cannons to blow up a meal." ”

Zalang narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting for Xu Zizhen to continue.

Xu Zizhen stuffed the picture into Zalang's hand, and said leisurely: "I don't have any strengths, but there is one good thing, that is, what I said will definitely be done, for example, I will promise Your Majesty Xià to help you enhance your national strength, this drawing only represents one of the benefits I can bring you, as for the rest...... It's a long time coming. ”

After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, and then looked at Zalang quietly, he was not afraid that Zalang would refuse, because Tubo's current life was actually not easy, which was learned a lot of news from both the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia.

Today's Tubo is no longer the strong Tubo during the Tang Dynasty, but the internal division of several forces, although Zalang is known as the king of Tubo, but only the stronger one, and now he has to secretly make friends with the surrounding countries in order to eliminate other forces, such as a few years ago the Song Dynasty attacked Xia, but the Great Song Dynasty did not know that the Tubo at that time actually secretly had contacts with the Western Xia, so that time the Great Song Dynasty did not achieve much victory, just because Tubo pulled back behind his back.

This approach looks a little shameless, but the king of Tubo is also helpless, with his current strength, he can't afford to provoke either the Great Song Dynasty or the Western Xia, and the four words Xu Zizhen said "enhance national strength" really moved Zalang.

Although Zalang is in Luocheng City, he has his own sources, although he has never seen Xu Zizhen, but he knows everything Xu Zizhen does, in fact, he has one thing that Xu Zizhen does not know, that is, he wants to recruit Li Meng as a concubine, and the real purpose is to pull Xu Zizhen in.

Improved artillery, this is an absolute temptation for Tubo who is not good at smelting, Zalang is a smart man, he knows that Xu Zizhen dares to say this is to be able to introduce the forging method of artillery, including raw materials, craftsmen, and craftsmanship, if he Zalang has such a killing weapon, then the recovery of the provinces is just around the corner, and even his Zalang Zampu is likely to become the Zalang Emperor who unified Tubo.

In addition, what moved him the most was Xu Zizhen's last sentence "The coming days are long", Xu Zizhen ...... How much more will he bring?

"Master Xu, with all due respect, the Song people have always been cunning, can this king believe you?"

Xu Zizhen opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he heard some movement outside the closed hall door, and he rolled his eyes and said deliberately: "Anyway, Zhuoya is already my person, if you don't agree to this time next year, my son doesn't care if you call him uncle." ”

With a bang, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and Zhuo Ya, who was full of shame, rushed in: "You...... What nonsense are you talking about? What am I already yours of? Where did it come from...... What son? ”

Xu Zizhen immediately stood up as if he had been electrocuted, and said with a frightened face: "You, you, you...... How are you out there? I'm joking with my uncle, don't be angry, don't be angry, I promise I won't dare in the future. ”

Zhuoya gritted her teeth and glared at him, but she didn't have the slightest way to deal with him, this is the main hall of the palace, even she didn't dare to be wild, and finally she could only stomp her feet hatefully: "You wait for me!" ”

Zalang suddenly smiled, stood up and hooked Xu Zizhen's shoulder: "Okay, okay, let's go, this king invites you to taste my Tubo food." ”

Regardless of whether Xu Zizhen is cunning or not, but from the scene just now, it can be seen that the relationship between him and Zhuoya is true, this is enough for him, didn't Xu Zizhen say it himself, I am his eldest uncle.

There was a small banquet in the Tubo palace that night, in addition to Xu Zizhen and other people, there was also Yu Qi from Western Xia, Zha Lang as the proprietor, and naturally Duoqi Zhuoma's mother.

Xu Zizhen has only now figured out that the meaning of Zampu in Tubo is almost the king, and the queen is called Zanma, and he has always thought that Zalang Zampu is a name for a person.

Zhuo Ya kept blushing throughout the meal, although Zalang didn't say anything about Xu Qin, his attitude was already clear, and her sister-in-law had been looking at Xu Zizhen and Li Meng, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

I thought that this meal would end in a dull way, but I didn't expect Zalang to suddenly speak: "Young Master Xu, do you still need to go to Western Xia?" Don't know when you're going to leave? ”

Xu Zizhen was holding a leg of mutton in his hand and gnawing on it, nodded when he heard the words, and said vaguely: "I may have to leave after staying for a few days, there are a lot of things waiting for me to do, and the time is very tight." ”

Zalang nodded: "This king also thinks it is better for you to leave earlier." Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, the leg of mutton also stopped, and Zalang smiled and continued, "You have picked the most beautiful flowers in our Tubo, and now the news has not yet come out, you still have time to leave, otherwise I am afraid that you will be in big trouble." ”

"Hahaha......"

On the side, except for Zhuo Ya's face was even redder, everyone laughed, the meaning of Zha Lang's words was too obvious, Zhuo Ya was the goddess in the hearts of the people of Tibet, if it was known that she had abducted a foreigner, wouldn't they all flock to the Potala Palace gate to block him Xu Zizhen?

Xu Zizhen was thick-skinned anyway, dropped the leg of mutton and stood up with a smile: "Okay, then we'll leave tomorrow morning, but I have to trouble you, uncle." ”

Zalang smiled: "You and I are already our own family, so let's talk about the trouble, just say it." ”

Xu Zizhen wiped his mouth: "Go back and help me build a house when you have time, it doesn't need to be too big, just have half of it here, and wait for me and Zhuoya to come back as a new house." ”

Zalang's smile instantly froze on his face, this kid really dares to speak, half the size of the Potala Palace?
