Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 550
Chapter 551 Pretending to be sick
"Tell me everything you know."

In the Tubo Palace, the King of Tubo, whose face was still a little pale, was sitting there, looking at the people below, and asked.

The person he was questioning was dressed in gray robes and looked like an entourage.

This person is no stranger, he is really a follower of Tagan who has been to Youzhou across Tagan.

On the surface, this entourage is Tagan's confidant, but in fact, he has already been controlled by the king of Tubo.

Going to Youzhou with Tagan, on the one hand, is to monitor Tagan and prevent him from colluding with the King of Youzhou.

On the other hand, it was to let him write down some information about Youzhou.

This time when Tagan came back, this follower also returned smoothly with Tagan.

In the past few days, this follower has had a very bad time.

Tagan was poisoned in prison and died an unexpected death.

Although many people outside did not know about this matter, the entourage was very concerned about it and therefore learned about it as soon as possible.

Tagan is dead, for him, this is a wake-up call!
He is wary of those around him.

In the past few days, he only ate food that was absolutely impossible to be poisoned, and only drank plain water.

At night, he fell asleep with a dagger in his arms.

When the King of Tubo ordered him to enter the palace, he was even more uneasy, fearing that he would be involved in some terrible incident.

But the king of Tubo told him to go, so he had to go.

It could only be that his heart was beating wildly, and he came to the King of Tubo with a pale face.

Judging from the expressions on their faces, the two look alike.

"My lord, my little one... I went to Youzhou with my master, but I was taken to see the barracks and weapons display of the Youzhou Army."

The follower hurriedly said.

When Tubo King heard this, his eyes lit up.

He immediately urged: "Say it!"

"How is the situation of the Youzhou Army? Do they look strong? What kind of weapons are they? Tell me everything you know! Don't hide it!"

"Yes." The follower told the Tubo king everything he knew.

"Firearms? You mean, they really have something that can shoot thunder and fire when you carry it? Can it take people's lives from afar?"

After listening to the words of the entourage, the king of Tubo asked.

The entourage hurriedly said: "That's right. Your Majesty, that firearm is amazing! However, it can't hit too far, at most ten meters. If it exceeds ten meters, it will miss."

"Ten meters?" King Tubo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

This range is much closer than that of bows and arrows.

But it makes sense.

Being able to take people's lives from a distance, pull down the thunder and fire from the sky, and use them for oneself, these are terrifying enough.

If the thunder and fire were more powerful, wouldn't it be impossible for mortals to resist?

This is too unfair to mortals!

Come to think of it, even if the king of Youzhou was really the reincarnation of a god, and he could produce some things that ordinary people couldn't see in the past, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.

Ten meters, okay, okay.

The king of Tubo asked again, "That grenade didn't go far?"

"Yes. The king of Youzhou called it a grenade. I saw it, and the farthest is only a dozen meters, not more than 15 meters. The average person can throw it at most about ten meters. The grenade is probably not light, so if the arm strength Normally, it is not easy to throw ten meters.”

This answer also made Tubo King feel relaxed.

Ten meters, if the grenade can only be thrown at such a distance, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, although these two things made him feel uneasy just by hearing them in the past.

But if there is such a defect that the length cannot be stretched, then the role it can play in combat will be smaller than what I guessed before.

After all, if it is shot at close range and bombed, it is easy to hurt yourself and your own people.

And if you cast it far away, you can't cast it.

The only thing that works is the distance that is neither near nor far.

As long as they charged at this distance, the threat of the Youzhou army in this respect would be almost gone.

In terms of riding and other aspects, the Tubo king is very confident.

He felt that the Tubo army must be very good at riding.

In this case, as long as Youzhou side doesn't have any overbearing lethal weapons, then it will be fine.

Thinking of this, the Tubo king asked some other things, such as the shape of the Tubo army, and how many war horses there were in their barracks.

In terms of body shape, the entourage naturally praised and praised the people from Tubo.

"My lord, although the Youzhou army looks stronger than the ordinary Datang people, but that's it, look at it, it can't be compared with our warriors, our warriors, one person can almost match the two of them. "

"As for the war horses, I followed the master to the military camp and did not hear the neighing of the war horses, and they never showed off their equestrian skills during the display."

The king of Tubo laughed and said: "This is understandable. After all, except for a very small number of elites in the Tang Dynasty, the horses ridden by others are all inferior horses! Unlike our Tubo, the soldiers ride all tall horses. It is completely possible to travel thousands of miles a day, at least hundreds of miles a day, and in terms of patience, it is incomparable to the war horses of the Tang Dynasty!"

Datang's war horses, except for the generals and the cavalry, were all ordinary pony horses.

However, riding a short horse and pairing up with a person riding a tall horse is at a disadvantage in terms of height.

In this regard, the King of Tubo has absolute confidence!
After he said this, he got a flattering response from this entourage.

Listening to the other party's rainbow farts, Tubo King's mood also became more comfortable.

During this period of time, he has never been in a good mood!
The private undercurrents of the nobles who were not in the capital made him feel a little uneasy.

It was about the Gu technique that made him feel threatened.

Up to now, the envoys of Datang are still waiting for his reply in the capital.

In order to stabilize the situation in the capital, the King of Tubo found several reasons to postpone the matter.

After dismissing the Tagan entourage, he asked the prime minister who had been sitting quietly by the side since just now.

"Do you think that if the news of my king's serious illness due to vomiting blood spreads, will the few families in the capital who are united will take action?"

The Tubo king's question seemed ordinary, but it smelled like blood.

The prime minister couldn't help shivering, he hurriedly said: "My lord, if the news gets out, they will definitely take action."

"Then, I will leave this matter to you. Make sure they believe that this king is really sick and bedridden."

The corner of Tubo King's mouth curled into a cold smile.

"Don't they want to control Tubo and take the opportunity to push the people they support? This king gives them this opportunity!"

As long as they dared to do this, they just gave him the handle.

Moreover, this thing can also kill two birds with one stone.

"This king is seriously ill. Presumably, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty will continue to wait."
