    After a pause, he continued: "What's more, I, Cui Laohou, have been following this route for decades and have a good reputation. I also rely on giving gifts and bringing goods to open up all the joints on the plateau. Everyone who has never seen me has heard of Cui Laohou."

    Longying asked curiously: "How do those who stay in Tubo return home? Who will take care of them if something happens to them?"

    Cui Laohou said proudly: "This is why I, Cui Laohou, can eat well. I have a Tibetan partner who is very considerate on the plateau. After I hand over the person to him, he will take care of me. I have to take medicine and rest after a long journey to the plateau.  They have to spend a few days to adapt to the climate and soil of the plateau. No one wants to leave in a hurry, and they have to search for goods in various places. With good luck, they can return to the Central Plains and make a fortune. What can they do without a year and a half? I will bring them back when I return.  Go to the Central Plains."

    With the roar of hooves, more than a hundred riders galloped out of the pass and rushed toward them.

    There were more than 200 people in the business travel brigade, and there was no trace of panic. Perhaps they had become numb and used to it after many interceptions and checks.

    The leading young general greeted from a distance: "It is indeed Mr. Cui. When I heard a large group of people coming, I guessed it was you."

    Cui Laohou said "I've given gifts and drank wine", then he patted his mule and went up to meet him.

    Long Ying secretly activated his magic power, changed his body shape, and narrowed his eyes. It took just a few blinks to accomplish the task. He also felt that his magic power had improved greatly.

    After the young general exchanged a few words with Cui Laohou, he gave Cui Laohou some face and led the group to the pass.

    Under the instructions, the merchant brigade stopped in the open space in front of the fortress. This is the southern end of the large oasis. The grassland in the pass was replaced by sand and gravel.

    Long Ying heard the young general say to Cui Laohou: "I must carry out the order and conduct inspections as usual. Brother Cui, don't be offended."

    Cui Laohou smiled and said: "Of course I won't make it difficult for you. How should I cooperate with you?"

    The young general said: "Let everyone land first and line up on the side. The people sent from above will check the people and goods and let them go immediately. Hey! The leader is here in person! Be careful!"

    More than ten riders galloped out of the pass. One of the two riders ahead had a red cloth wrapped around his head.  It forms a hat-like shape and is very eye-catching.  The young Tibetan general next to him is tall, proud, and full of energy. He is also an extraordinary person.

    Long Ying thought that it was a good thing that all the things that could reveal his identity, such as the folding bow, the universe in his sleeves, the flying divine escape, etc., were all scattered and hidden in the cargo. Otherwise, if the other party came to search him, he would have nothing to hide.

    Under Cui Laohou¡¯s instructions, all the merchants hurriedly dismounted their mules and horses, and formed a long queue.  Awaiting inspection.

    More than a dozen riders came to the front of the team in a blink of an eye, dismounted from their horses, and looked at them with burning eyes.

    There are hundreds of cavalry galloping on both sides, forming a hidden encirclement.

    Long Ying did not dare to look at the other person. He glanced at the opponent and lowered his head to the ground. However, he clearly understood that the person with the head covered must be a master from Tianzhu. This person's eyes were shining with lightning, showing his profound martial arts.  The tall and straight body gives off the toughness of copper skin and iron bones, and his every move and every move has an almost perfect taste, it shouldn't be much different from him.

    The young general whom Cui Laohou knew met the young Tubo general and the Zhu master from that day.  Speaking in a low voice, it was time to tell them the whole story of Cui Laohou.

    The young general made a signal and immediately swarmed out a hundred people to search the mules and horses for their loads.  The purpose should be to see if there are any hidden weapons.  So I just touched and pinched it instead of opening it one by one to see what was going on, but it already made Long Ying secretly break out in a cold sweat.

    Under the current circumstances.  Once your identity is exposed, you can't just walk away.

    Cui Laohou was summoned by the young general to speak. If he had not had such a relationship with Long Ying, he would have suffered immediately if he told the young general that he had only joined his merchant brigade in Khotan.

    The inspection of the goods was finally completed, and when Longying was thankful to have passed the customs, the young general and the Tibetan master came slowly along the brigade, scanning everyone.

    Especially that day, Master Zhu had a sharp look in his eyes. Anyone who came into contact with his sharp eyes immediately lowered their gazes and did not dare to look at him.

    Longying also pretended to be afraid of his eyes. After looking at him with a listless look, he immediately turned to look at the grass.

    After the Tianzhu master followed the young general past him, Longying didn't feel relieved at all, because the opponent's Qi was still tightly locked on him, and he couldn't help but feel confused. He didn't know why, but he had no way to do anything about it.

    Is the other party smart enough to see through his disguise?

    When he was ten steps away from him, the Tianzhu master started to move, retreated quickly, then spun around, came to Longying, and pushed his chest with a palm.

    The young general and the accompanying Cui Laohou reacted the fastest and looked at Long Ying and the Tianzhu master at the same time.  Because the incident happened suddenly, and the Tianzhu master's actions were as fast as lightning, others could only stare in shock for a while, and most people didn't even know that something happened.

     Longying knew clearly that although the Tianzhu masters were coming with force, they were very measured. His palm power was contained but not released, just to test the nature. He was not surprised but happy in his heart, pretending to be panicked and opening his mouth to scream.  The Tianzhu master's eyes showed a bright blue light. When his palm was only a few feet away from his chest, he suddenly changed his move and pinched his throat instead.

    Long Ying almost counterattacked instinctively, but knowing that a little impatience would mess up his big plan and all his previous efforts would be in vain, he suppressed this tempting idea with all his strength. His throat was already pinched. As long as the other party exerted a little force, Xiang Yutian would also return to his soul.  Hell, let alone his Dragon Eagle?

    The young general and his men, including the horrified Cui Laohou, turned around and walked back.

    The Tianzhu master was sending in real energy, traveling through the meridians of Long Ying's body, and forced Long Ying to face him, examining his eyes and mask with lightning-like eyes.

    The young general said in Tubo: "Master Wusu, is there something wrong with this man?"

    The Tianzhu master retracted his hand that was squeezing Long Ying's throat in embarrassment.  He shook his head and said, "I misjudged him! He's just an ordinary person who doesn't understand martial arts."

    The young general said embarrassedly "Sorry" to Long Ying, and said to Cui Laohou: "You can set off."

    Longying and Cui Laohou each said "Thank God" in their hearts and quickly set off to pass the customs.

    Cui Laohou is worthy of being an expert in traveling. He knew the route accurately. Even though he was delayed for nearly an hour at the pass, he still completed the first section of the mountain climbing before sunset, reached a valley, and set up camp to rest.

    Long Ying and Cui Laohou left the camp and went to a deserted place to talk.  Cui Laohou sighed: "That guy Zhu really had great eyesight that day. Of course, I was so scared that I almost dropped my balls."

    Long Ying said: "If he really crushes my throat, I guarantee that he will not be able to avoid my counterattack before death."

    Cui Laohou shuddered and said, "Fortunately it didn't happen. How weird! He couldn't find that your pulse energy was different?"

    Long Ying muddles through and says, "He still doesn't have that ability."

    "How many days does it take to walk from here to Pangong Tso?" Chakai asked.

    Cui Laohou said: "At our speed, we can't even think of doing it in twenty days."

    Long Ying said: "Will there be other levels?"

    Cui Laohou replied: "Of course not. Up from here is the uninhabited Kunlun Mountains. It's a little better in spring and summer, but in winter the mountain roads are covered with snow, making it even more difficult to walk."

    Then he lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to go on the road first?"

    Long Ying said: "Is it possible? The worst thing is to get lost."

    Cui Laohou said: "Some sections of the road are indeed difficult to walk, but you won't get lost. The Karakash River pours from the Karakoram Pass. Just follow the river and go up to the Karakoram Pass, and then follow the river southward.  Let's go. On the right is the Karakoram Mountains. At your speed, you can reach Pangong Tso in three days. When you see a big lake, you can successfully cross the Kunlun Mountains and reach the Tibetan plateau. Alas! But you have to ask about Hengtso.  It is no longer easy to get the news about Kong Muye, and it is even more difficult to find the current location of Hengkong Muye across the enemy's sphere of influence. The Tubo Plateau is really too big!"

    Long Ying was silent.

    Cui Laohou said: "It's better to go with us! It may be slower, but it will be more convenient for me to inquire."

    Long Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Rescuing emergencies is like putting out fires. We have to go to the plateau to find a solution. Xixun once said that my old friend's territory is northeast of Luoche City, the capital of Tubo. Zhonglongyi is surrounded by rivers and is close to Qinghai. I will go there.  Go try your luck.¡±

    Cui Laohou said: "This is the best solution. I know that this place is not close to Qinghai. It takes a month to walk from Luoxe City."

    Then he described the road to Zhonglongyi in detail.

    Long Ying listened attentively and realized for the first time that the terrain of the plateau was complex, beyond his imagination.  No wonder the Tubo people have always been the only ones to invade others, but few people dare to attack them.

    Cui Laohou finally said: "The higher you go up, the more careful you have to be, and the more careful you are to watch out for the horses. I heard that in ancient times, enemies on the plateau invaded from the south, bypassing the mountains. As soon as they reached the plateau, more than a thousand people and horses suddenly died.  , which frightened the enemy into thinking that the opponent's god appeared and immediately retreated. This situation has also happened to my caravan many times, and we call it the curse of the plateau."

    Longying nodded and said: "I will be careful. Remember, don't pay attention to my affairs anymore, return to China as soon as possible, and let the Persian beauty give you some fat and white sons."

    Cui Laohou smiled happily when he heard this and said goodbye to him happily. No one thought that a good relationship forged in the Jinsha River Basin would lead to beautiful and strange flowers blooming in a strange place thousands of miles away.

    ??The dragon eagle immediately boarded the journey in the dark, showing off the miraculous skills of galloping in the dark, treating the mountains as if they were flat ground. He traveled day and night, and only stopped to rest when he encountered a mountain waterfall and a pool.He seemed to have returned to the life of a stone house in a barren mountain, forgetting everything, and only Xueer and him depended on each other, carefree.

    Seven days later, we finally crossed the Karakoram Pass and climbed onto the plateau.

    The scenery in front of you changes, and the endless plateau scenery unfolds before you without reservation.

    At the turn of spring and summer, green grass stretches endlessly from where Xueer's hooves step, reaching into the sky. There are gentle hills everywhere with little difference in height. In the distance, there are rows of mountains lined up on the horizon.  There is snow on the peak.  Not far away there are two connected large lakes, which are full of light, beautiful and charming.  There are more than a dozen tents on the grassland next to the lake. White sheep and black yaks are scattered around the tents, and there are also giant dogs guarding the cattle and sheep for their owners.

    The goshawk hovers and soars freely under the blue sky and white clouds, and the earth is full of life.

    Longying¡¯s eyes fell on the rolling mountains at the southern end of the grassland, thinking of the magnificent scene of the Wanren Snow Peak reaching into the sky.

    Xueer jumped up and screamed, looking very excited.  (To be continued)
