Chapter 52 Tibetan Envoy!

"Alas, the women of the Tang Dynasty are so charming, not to mention their emperor." Buda sighed secretly in his heart. The strength of the Tang Dynasty made him feel unprecedented pressure. The rise and fall of the woman's chest, the curve of her neck, and her jade-like skin all stimulated his nerves.

He knew very well that he would have a hard time explaining himself to Songtsen Gampo when he returned. In the face of the power of the Tang Dynasty, the so-called strength of Tubo was nothing but a joke.

The Buda envoy was walking leisurely, but the attendant beside him came up to him with a puzzled look on his face: "Sir, how dare the Tang Dynasty boast that it will destroy the Turks when it was founded less than ten years ago?
Moreover, if they are really rich and powerful, why are there so many displaced people? "After listening to this, the Buda envoy just shook his head slightly, as if thinking about something.

At this time, the attendant next to him rolled his eyes and put on a sly smile: "Sir, I have an idea. Why don't we go ask those civilians? I guarantee that we can find out the true details of the Tang Dynasty."

When the Buda envoy heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he turned back to stare at the attendant: "Oh? What do you think?"

The attendant chuckled and said, "If you want to know the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, why listen to the emperor's boasting? Let's ask a few ordinary people. I guarantee that it will be more realistic than listening to those high-sounding words!"

After hearing this, the expression on the Buda envoy's face gradually changed from solemn to joyful: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" As he said this, he couldn't wait to ask the people. He looked as if he had seen Li Shimin's lies being exposed one by one, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Unexpectedly, just after taking a few steps, the Buda envoy was stopped by the attendant behind him. The attendant looked nervous and whispered, "Sir, wait a minute!"

Just like that, the Buda envoy stopped and a hint of hesitation appeared on his originally anxious face.

"My lord, relax!"

"Oh? Do you have any other ideas?"

The Buda envoy turned around and stared at the attendant with a confused look on his face.

The attendant smiled mysteriously and shook his head.

"I'm afraid the envoy knows very little about the daily life of the Tang Dynasty!"

"If you stop a random passerby and ask them a question, they will probably just be talking nonsense to amuse you!"

He said with a smirk on his face.

After hearing this, the Buda envoy looked around and, as expected, saw people rushing to and fro, each one of them as if being chased by a ghost, and no one stopped. On Suzaku Street, people were shopping in groups of two or three, lingering in front of the vendors.

I thought to myself, if I asked someone so rashly "how are you doing in the Tang Dynasty", I would either be laughed at or get into trouble.

The node nodded, feeling that he had indeed been reckless, and turned to ask the attendant: "Then what do you think, how should we start?"

The attendant raised his lips, looking quite confident: "Sir, I came to Chang'an with a caravan in my early years, and I have some understanding of the local customs and practices here."

"You won't get anything out of asking directly, but in Chang'an, and even in the whole of Guanzhong, there are always ways to get people to open up." "In this Chang'an city, the places with the most up-to-date information are definitely restaurants and teahouses!" The attendant said as he walked, "As soon as those people sit down, they start chatting about everything under the sun, and no secrets can be kept secret."

"Indeed, it's still too early. I'm afraid there won't be many people in the restaurant." Envoy Buda stroked his chin, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. "Why don't we go back to the posthouse first, recuperate, and come back at noon."

When Buda heard this, he was immediately delighted and clapped his hands in praise: "What a good idea! Let's find the biggest restaurant and sit there, and the news will come naturally. Haha, let's see how Li Shimin will defend himself then."

As they were talking, a group of people turned around and walked towards the inn. Suddenly, a figure bumped into Buda's arms. When the person looked up, he was a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was surprised and said, "Oh, sir, you have a purple face and black clouds on your head. It seems that your fortune is not good recently. Do you want me to tell you a fortune?"

Buda was stunned and looked at the young man carefully. He saw that his eyes were bright and he looked very confident.

Buda came back to his senses, a smile appeared on his lips, and he thought: It seems that today's trip to the restaurant will have a lot of interesting things.

In the bustling crowd of people in Chang'an City, the Buda envoy carried a colorful banner on his shoulder, with "Guide the lost gentleman" written on the top and "Awaken the long-trapped hero" written on the bottom. The four big characters "Ma Yi Shen Suan" were particularly eye-catching. He looked around, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, this Chang'an City is really full of hidden talents. Even this kind of quack has a market."

He shook his head with a look of disdain, "You are so young, but you are not studying hard at home. Instead, you come out to cheat people. This is really a decline in morals!"

Just as he finished speaking and was about to leave in style, he heard a voice from behind: "A frog in a well cannot talk about the sea, a summer insect cannot talk about ice. Your Excellency, please take care of yourself." The voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it revealed a confidence that could not be ignored.

The Buda envoy turned around suddenly and saw the fortune teller, with the sign on his shoulder, walking away step by step. He looked at the back of the fortune teller, his chest burning with anger, but he was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he glanced at the attendant beside him, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Was he mocking me by saying that just now?"

The attendant was stunned for a moment, scratching his head in embarrassment: "Well, my lord, I'm afraid he compared you to a frog in a well."

"What?" The Buda envoy was immediately furious and was about to order the capture of the quack. But the attendant quickly pulled him back and said anxiously, "Sir, wait a minute!"

The Buda envoy was puzzled, and his anger intensified. His face turned red and his eyes widened. At this time, a lady from Chang'an passed by him. Her eyes were rolling, her lips were smiling, and a slight glance seemed to be able to hook people's souls away.

But the Buda envoy was in no mood to appreciate it. He just felt an inexplicable fire burning in his chest, making him uncomfortable.

"The water in Chang'an City seems to be unusually deep." The attendant muttered softly, seeming to be a little afraid of the feng shui of Chang'an.

The Buda envoy looked around hurriedly on the street like a lost rabbit. Others who saw him would have laughed at him, wondering if he could not hold it in any longer and had to find a place to solve his urgent problem.

The attendant offered a serious suggestion: "Sir, look at those fortune tellers on the streets, they wander around all day long, their eyes are very sharp, what kind of people have they not seen?
Why not ask them about the customs and gossips of the Tang Dynasty? They are sure to know everything! "

He winked and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Besides, they are just for a few small bucks. As long as we can afford the price, they will definitely tell you everything.
