Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty-Seven

Dawa Yangzong stood on a big rock in the temporary camp and looked towards the horse road. Baima had not returned for a long time, and she was restless.Seeing that there was no one on the road, she got off the stone and sat back by the fire in a daze. There was a teapot hanging on the fire, and Yang Zong's father and his fellows were drinking tea. The father observed her and pondered. There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Yang Zong hurriedly got up and ran over to have a look.Not far away, two horsemen galloped by, not Baima.Yang Zong was so angry that he turned around and kicked the cargo bag on the ground. The cargo bag didn’t move at all, but Yang Zong yelled: “Oh, it hurts me to death, whoever doesn’t have eyes, put it here La?"

The servant ran to move the bag and said, "Miss, this is a battery, why are you kicking it?" "Ouch, damn it." Yang Zong bounced back to his seat and rubbed his feet. "Girl, grass has grown in my heart, and I'm scratching it." The old man asked. "Who has grass growing in his heart, I'm fine, nothing happens." "It's fine." The old man deliberately said to the guys beside him, "It's time to rest, Zhikui, pack up, get on the pack, and let's go!" "Why are you in a hurry? Don't leave!" Yang Zong shouted.

"I've been here for a few days, what are you waiting for if you don't leave? Go, go! Bring me, the dealers, to Lhasa, and you can earn a lot of money." The old man peeked at Yangzong sideways. "I can't go, I won't go anyway!" Yang Zong got up and said to his father. "He also said that he was fine, so tell me, Dad can give you an idea." "Father, you like to ask around." "Girl, have you taken a fancy to that little officer?" "No. Whoever takes a fancy to him, he's stupid, stupid, stupid." "That means people didn't like you." Dad teased her.

"Who said that? He went to Zhuwang to see off his mother and father, and he will be back soon." "Oh, you still want to hide it from me. Dad has already seen that little thoughtfulness of yours." "Father, don't go, wait a little longer." "Don't go? Then my goods... Yadong is humid, don't encounter rain." "Then sell the goods on the spot." "Huh? Then I won't pay for it." "Do you want a daughter or goods?" The old man patted his forehead and said in circles all over the floor, "What kind of child is this, pity me, I'll pay for it... I'll pay for it, and my daughter too, ouch, it's really killing me..."

Baima traveled day and night and had already reached the Lhasa River. He reined in the horse and stopped to look at the Potala Palace.Now Baima's face was dusty and exhausted. With his palms folded, he recited a few auspicious sutras towards the Potala Palace, and with his legs clamped under the horse's belly, he ran towards the ferry. Baima rushed up Barkhor Street and ran past.Mei Duo came out from the shop on Barkhor Street, she saw Baima at a glance, and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Baima, Baima..." Baima had already rode away without hearing the shout behind her.

Mei Duo's servant Tsewang looked up and said, "Miss, it doesn't look like him...Master Pema is in Yadong." "Wearing the company commander's uniform, how many people are there in Lhasa? It must be Master Baima. He is non-stop, as if he has an urgent mission. Tsewang, hurry up and find out the results, and come back and tell me." Tsewang agreed, trotted all the way, and chased after him. Baima ran all the way to the gate of Rinchen Mansion.Seeing him, the steward of the Renqin Mansion exclaimed, "Master Baima, why are you back?" Baima was so exhausted that he fell off the horse. He sat down on the steps and said, "Help me in quickly." Two servants hurried forward to help Baima and followed the housekeeper into the yard.Tsewang chased after him, and when he saw Baima entered the gate of the mansion, he stood not far away and stared at it.

After Tudengele listened to Baima's narration, he poured out the clean water offered in front of the Buddha one by one, thinking calmly and calmly. Baima sat on the mat, tired and anxious, he urged: "Uncle, you have to find a way, I've been delayed on the road for two days, I'm afraid my father won't be able to stand up to that group of people, if they give my father caught..." "Your father is really smart. He took hostages and asked you to report the news. He bought me the most precious time, the time to spend my brain." After Gele said, he sat on the mat and drank tea calmly. ,in silence.

Tudenggrad found it strange that up to now, although the power of Reting Rinpoche still exists, there has been no fundamental change in the power of him and his opponent.Why did Daza, Kangsa and his gang start to act?Isn't this too risky?What went wrong?He couldn't figure it out. Baima looked at Gele eagerly, he couldn't sit still, and said, "Uncle, please come up with a regulation, I'm dying of anxiety." "Young man, why are you in a hurry? If your mind is in a mess, you will lose everything." "Aren't you part of the pack team in Dele Mansion? Uncle, you can't stand by and watch?" Baima said dissatisfied.

Gele was annoyed, and he shouted: "You are still wet! Can you act rashly in this kind of thing?" Baima was silent.At this moment, the steward led Zhandui in from the outside, and Zhandui said after entering the door, "Second brother, someone is watching outside the gate of the mansion, and it is Ciwang, a servant of the Kangsa mansion." "Sure enough, it's Kangsa. They planned it long ago. Baima, you should be very familiar with Kangsa Kalon." Gele said vigilantly. "He was my old boss." "It's still the benefactor who promoted you to be the company commander of the Tibetan Army."

"He ordered it?" "He is one of the masterminds behind the scenes, and there is another person, the current Regent Daza Rinpoche. It is just a pretext to seize the contraband trafficked by your pack team. To bring down your father will inevitably involve me and weaken Reting Rinpoche's influence in Lhasa." "With such a complicated background?" "Baima, if it were you, how would you make a decision at such a critical moment?" "When someone makes a move, we can't stand upright. No matter how he slaps him, we will slap him back! Let's see who is afraid of whom!"

After hearing this, Zhandui said appreciatively, "Okay, this is my nephew, he has ambition." Encouraged, Baima continued, "Kangsa's backing is the First Regiment of the Tibetan Army, and my second uncle is also firmly in control of the police station. The strength of the enemy and ours are comparable." "However, without the protection of the Kashag Chamber of Commerce, if you mobilize troops without authorization, you will be blamed." Gele said. "Then... where did Kangsa's defense come from? You are one of the four great Kalons. Without your uncle's consent, how dare Kangsa mobilize the Tibetan army to arrest people?" "Haha... Good question! So, there is only one possibility. Daza and Kangsa are testing our reaction. If we soften, they will become more arrogant. Hmph, I thought that the sun of Rezhen Buddha really set Yes. Brother, I think what Baima said is right, take this slap back and hit their faces with flowers!" Tsewang was still hiding in the alley, staring at the Rinchen Mansion.Suddenly, the door of the mansion opened in the distance, and Gele and Zhandui came out with a few relatives and Baima, and they got on their horses and parted ways. When Tsewang saw Baima passing by, he saw it clearly, and said to himself: "Miss has a good eye, she is really Master Baima." Baima left Rinchen Mansion and ran straight to Dele Mansion.How did he know that Pajia was at the mansion with Nazhen Lhasa at this time.Nazhen affectionately unbuttoned the buttons on the police uniform of Pajia one by one, and Pajia grabbed her hand. Nazhen struggled a bit and said, "Be honest, let the servants catch you, they are full again." The world spreads." While taking off his clothes, Paka said nonchalantly, "I'll see you when I see you, sooner or later." Nazhen took a new Tibetan robe and compared it to him, saying: "Turn around, let me see...Turn around again, this dress is really impressive, it looks like a new master...Tashi and the others should be here ?” "Soon, it should be only these two days." "At that time, I will go to pick them up outside the city. I really want to see their embarrassment with my own eyes. I don't know if they are wearing white robes and tied up, or they are tied behind the saddle like leading animals." Pajia was very happy, taking advantage of Nazhen's unpreparedness, she pulled Nazhen into her arms. "You're in a hurry." Nazhen said coquettishly. "I'm in a hurry, are you not in a hurry?" Nazhen was as tender as water, the two hugged each other, and Pajia groped her body.Nazhen hummed and said, "Be gentle, my stomach...do you know what I should call you? Master, Master Dele!" "Well, madam, Madame Deleur," said Paja concurring.Suddenly, a servant's voice came from outside: "Master, are you back?" Then Baima's voice came again: "Is Grandma there?" "Yes, yes, in the living room." Pajia and Nazhen were so frightened that they separated quickly and looked out the window.yard.The servant took the reins of the horse, and Baima came straight to the living room.Pajia and Nazhen were frightened, and Nazhen said in shock: "My God, this little ancestor, why did he come back?" She straightened her clothes and said to Pajia: "Hurry up and hide!" , over there, over there." Pajia was disheveled and ran around in a panic. Nazhen shoved him the police uniform, and Pajia went towards the partition behind the curtain. Baima opened the door and came in, calling out, "Grandma." With a smile on her face, Nazhen went up to meet her and said, "Bai Ma, come back from a long distance, and don't ask the servant to report a letter first, so that someone can be sent to pick you up." Baima was a little exhausted, so she sat down on the mat and said, "Grandma, something happened." "Ah? What's the matter with you?" "It's Dad, they... and our pack team, something happened." "how do you know?" "It's hard to say..." Nazhen glanced at the partition, and asked, "What's so hard to say, tell me quickly, I'm so anxious." "Papa kidnapped Kashag officials, and they were trapped in Zhuwang Manor by the Tibetan army. No, I rode for two days and rushed back to report to Uncle Tudengele." Pajia hid behind the partition and heard this, with a frightened expression on his face. "Have you seen the second uncle?" "I see, Second Uncle asked me to come back and wait for news. He has already gone to the Great Temple in the northern suburbs." "Go to the temple? Oh, to make a wish and pray for the Dele Mansion. At a time like this, you can only rely on Buddhas and Bodhisattvas." "What, I'm asking for reinforcements. The second uncle is going to have a big fight with them... I won't tell you, you don't understand. Mom, I'm hungry and tired, so you ask them to cook me some meat porridge... ..." Nazhen agreed, and ran to the door to call the servant. Paka frowned and thought, he poked his head out from behind the partition.Seeing that Nazhen was going to cook the porridge for the servants.When Nazhen turned around and came back, she found that Baima had fallen asleep leaning on the card mat. She pushed Baima tentatively and called, "Baima, Baima." Baima fell into a deep sleep and didn't respond.Nazhen was relieved, and whispered to Pajia: "Hurry up, let's go." Paka came out from behind the partition and slipped out while putting on his clothes. Tsewang trotted all the way back to Kamsa's mansion. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Kamsa and Mei Duo playing tennis, with umbrellas and teahouses set up outside the court.The servants stood by and waited carefully.He went straight to Mei Duo, and Kangsa had to wait on the opposite side. Seeing that Ciwang had reported the situation to Mei Duo, Mei Duo was happy and rewarded him with money. Kangsa walked over, and said dissatisfiedly, "I will give you money for everything you do, and they will make mistakes." Mei Duo didn't talk to him, but asked: "Dad, Baima came back from Yadong, why didn't you tell me?" "Baima is back? Who told you that?" "Tsewang saw Baima go to Rinchen Mansion just now, and now he is going home." "At this time, who transferred him back to Lhasa?" "You're the one who kept it from me, on purpose!" After Mei Duo finished speaking, she pouted and walked away. Kangsa stood there pondering, and said to himself: "Could it be... something went wrong?" Gele and Zhandui rushed all the way to the gate of the great temple in the northern suburbs with a few followers, and the majestic main hall was right in front of them. In this snow-covered holy land, the bravest warriors are not the Tibetan army, but wandering monks from various monasteries. These lamas are not only organized, have guns, but also have boundless mana from the gods.They are not dispatched by the Kashag government, and they are naturally enemies of foreigners.During the Anti-British War in 1904, there were many heroes who defended the country among the wandering monks... Gele and his party entered the main hall. Four monks held iron bars in their hands and guarded the door of the hall. Their faces were painted with patterns of black ointment, looking like menacing spirits.Under the huge Buddha statue in the hall, among the carved beams and painted pillars, there are dim butter lamps, and the atmosphere is very chilling. After Gele explained his purpose to Living Buddha Yundan, they summoned five or six great lamas to plan secretly. The Dhacangs of the great temples in the northern suburbs have always been strong supporters of Reting Rinpoche. Many lamas among them are from the inland areas of Mongolia, Jinsui, Chuankang and so on. The natural enemy of molecules.Therefore, it has naturally become a force that Tudengrad can rely on. After sleeping and eating enough, Baima came to the yard to check the saddle of his horse. He told the servant to give his horse more black beans, because it had to travel a long way. Mei Duo came in from the outside, followed by Tsewang, who was carrying a set of tennis rackets.Seeing that Bai Ma didn't find her, Mei Duo crept up behind him, and suddenly jumped in front of Bai Ma, shouting: "Brother Bai Ma!" Baima was taken aback and asked, "Where did you come from?" "It's disgusting. I'm not a barley seedling that can still emerge from the ground." "What are you doing here?" "Looking for you to play tennis. You haven't been here for two years. I have been practicing tennis. Now my skills are number one in Lhasa." "Why are you cramping and playing tennis?" Baima said coldly. "Didn't you say that, let me play tennis and learn from English ladies." Mei Duo reminded him. "Did I say that?" "Ah? Have you forgotten? No, no, you must play a game with me today, let's compete." "You go home, I'm busy, and I'm going to perform a task." "I asked Dad, and he didn't transfer you back at all. You're deserting." Baima was furious when he heard this, and he shouted, "Don't mention your father to me!" Mei Duo was stunned, and asked aggrievedly: "What's the matter?" Nazhen ran over from the main building and scolded Baima: "Miss Mei Duo wants to play with you, so you can accompany her." She coaxed Mei Duo again: "Your brother Bai Ma has such a bad temper, you don't care about him. " "I really thought I was afraid of him, and the bully came to our house. Go, go, stay away from me!" Baima said angrily. When Mei Duo was yelled at by him, she cried aggrievedly. "What are you doing, what are you doing? Cannibalism!" Nazhen yelled at Baima. Baima ignored her with a stiff neck, grabbed a handful of black beans brought by the servant, and went to feed the horse on her own. A servant came running hurriedly, and said out of breath, "Master Baima...Kalon Rinchen asked me to inform you...the Living Buddha Yundan of the Great Temple in the northern suburbs has brought his troops...on the road gone." "I see." Bai Ma said, leading the horse and going out, the servant followed up and put the food bag on the horse's back.When Baima walked to the door, she turned her head and said, "Grandma, I'm leaving, take care of yourself." He jumped on his horse and left the house without looking back. "You're in such a hurry, why are you going? Baima..., just came home, where are you going?" Nazhen asked knowingly. Mei Duo said pitifully: "I said something wrong, Mage Bai got angry at me." "Mei Duo, he's upset and loses his temper. It's not for you, it's not for you..." "Brother Bai ignored me." After Mei Duo said sadly, she left Nazhen and walked towards the courtyard gate. Looking at her back, Na Zhen said to herself, "This is the young lady of the Kalun family, and no one else can climb her." Baima galloped his horse and caught up with the lamas from Zhandui and the great monastery in the northern suburbs at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. There were thirty or forty of them, carrying knives, guns, iron rods, and iron keys, rushing forward like a red tide. Baima called out, "Uncle..." "Baima, you came just in time, come here, come here, and pay homage to the Great Lama Yundan." Zhandui said. "Master Baima, the Great Khenpo has already explained that the actions of the masters are all under your command." Lama Yundan said. "Thank you, masters." "Whoever dares to oppose our Buddhism, we will send him to the west." Butler Kangsa led Nima and Pajia across the courtyard and hurried straight to the living room. As soon as they entered, Kangsa pointed at Nima's nose and roared, "Where's Tashi? Where's Tsering Deji? Where's the pack team from Dele Mansion? When will the trash you sent escort them back to Lhasa?" " Nima said anxiously: "Kangsa Kalun, I... I am not doing well, something went wrong..." "The group of stinky lamas in the big temple in the northern suburbs are not easy to mess with. If they start to make a fuss, it will be difficult for Dazha Buddha to calm down, and the consequences will be disastrous." "We just got the news." Paka stood aside with an embarrassed face, sweat dripping from his brow. Kangsa stared at Nima, and a few words popped out between his teeth: "Stupid, stupid!" Kangsa Kalun was full of worries, and the monks in the big temple in the northern suburbs had been trying to force Dadak Living Buddha to step down!Last year, they invited Reting Living Buddha back to Lhasa when the restoration of the Tsochen Hall was completed.Apparently he was presiding over the Anshen Consecration Ceremony, but he secretly put pressure on Daza to give up the regent throne.Although under Kangsa's ingenious mediation, Rezhen returned without success, but the cronies of Rezhen's subordinates kept worrying in their hearts, and Tudengele would not let go of this opportunity to make fire. Just when Kangsa couldn't suppress his anger, the attendant ran in from outside and whispered in his ear, Kangsa suddenly stood up and yelled at Nima and Pajia: "It's screwed up, it's all screwed up!" !" Nima didn't know what happened, and she and Paka looked at each other in blank dismay. Kangsa said angrily: "Those stinky lamas have already gone to Zhuwang Manor, and your troops will inevitably have a fierce battle with them. Just watch, those male mules in heat in the temple in the northern suburbs will still run away." Go to the Potala Palace to make a fuss..." "Kangsa Kalon, calm down, I will immediately send troops to suppress it." "Suppression, suppression, you can do nothing but suppression! Once the Beijiao Dasi and the Kaxag government become hostile, the two regents, Daza and Rezhen, will inevitably appear on the stage. The relationship between the two sides will be completely showdown. It will be a war You are biting me to the death. Tell me, you, and your Tibetan First Regiment, how sure are you of winning?" Nima was also dizzy, and said regretfully: "At first, I thought that by arresting the pack team from Dele Mansion and taking Tashi and Deji back to Lhasa, it would definitely make Tudenggrad look good. This is a small move, why... now Poke a big hole in the sky!" Kangsa wandered around the house, and finally stopped in front of Daza Regent's photo frame. He turned around and got angry: "You clumsy material, we have been plotted against." "Who plotted against?" Kangsa raised his hand and slapped Paka on the face with his mouth, and said, "Of course it was Tudengrad's assassination. This man is a spy sent by him. Your whole plan is a trap for him. How can you believe this?" brute!" Mei Duo appeared behind them at some point, but no one noticed. Pajia was terrified, and knelt on the ground with a plop, snotted his nose and burst into tears, and said: "I am wronged, Master Kalun, I am wronged, this idea is true, I am sincerely for Master Daiben and you Please help me. Unexpectedly, Baima Duoji got a leg on the way and ran back to Lhasa to report... This was a complete accident..." Mei Duo heard it clearly, she was furious, picked up the tray hidden on the table and suddenly threw it at Paka, cursing: "No wonder Bai Mage ignored me, so you are playing tricks..." Kangsa and the others were all stunned, Mei Duo beat and scolded Pajia: "You dare to harm Bai Mage, I peeled your skin! You stinky pig shit, pig shit, pig shit, stinky pig shit! " Pa Jia was too frightened to move, and said: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die..." Kangsa came over to stop Mei Duo and coaxed her: "Oh, baby girl, don't make trouble for me!" He said to Nima: "Don't let me get that beast away!" Nima grabbed Pajia and walked out, saying: "Miss Mei Duo, I'll go back and teach him a lesson, go back and teach him a lesson, don't be angry..." Mei Duo was so angry that she threw the tray on the ground. Kangsa also said angrily, "I'll take care of him when I'm free, you bastard!...You're a lady of nobility, why should you be as knowledgeable as an inferior person...lost your status!" Pajia went home dejectedly, he completely collapsed, and half-lyed on the mat in despair.Nazhen was a little at a loss, and said anxiously: "How could this happen? Master Kangsa turned his face as soon as he said it." "Unlucky, I forgot to burn incense and offer water to the Bodhisattva early this morning, and I suffered retribution." "Things just came to light, Tashi and Deji didn't crush me to death when they came back." "It's over, it's over, it's over, we're going to die." "Don't be discouraged, you're going to die, I'll die with you!" "You are really the Tara in my destiny." Pajia said emotionally. "Okay, let's think about it quickly. Your clever brain must have a solution." Nazhen accidentally touched the wound on Paka's face, and Paka yelled in pain.Nazhen said distressedly: "Those Roshas are really ruthless, does it still hurt?" "Can it not hurt? It's a slap and a plate. That dead girl of the Kangsa family looked at Wenwen quietly. Who knew she looked like a hag. If it wasn't for my strong flesh and belt, this little life would be dead." It's in her hands." "You mean Mei Duo, the daughter of Kangsa Galon?" "Yes, who else but her." "I was just about to discuss it with you. Mei Duo has so much interest in our Baima. I can see it. It can be regarded as a deep affection." Pajia was shocked, sat up straight and said, "I was beaten by Baima because of her." "I guess right? That girl is infatuated with my son... But, I don't know if Baima likes her or not." Pajia turned his head and thought about it, he suddenly hugged Nazhen and said excitedly: "We are saved, oh my dear, we are really saved." Early the next morning, Pajia was waiting in the corridor outside the Kashag Chamber, looking around constantly.After a while, Kangsa, accompanied by two officials, hurried over from the other side of the corridor.Pajia quickly jumped out and stopped in front of them. Kangsa and the others were startled and stopped in their tracks. Paka bowed low and said humbly, "Master Kalon, I have been waiting for you here for a long time." Seeing that it was Paka, Kangsa said angrily, "You dog slave, I didn't clean you up yesterday, and you're here to seek death again!" "The life of a slave is cheap, and life and death are nothing. It's different for gentlemen. If you make a wrong step, you will be lost forever." "Come here! Give him to me..." "Slow! Kangsa Kalun, I have three words to tell you. If you listen to it and it doesn't work, I have no complaints about skinning, cramp, and eyes." Kangsa's gaze was like a torch, examining and thinking.Finally, he took Pajia to the roof of the Jokhang Temple. Kangsa stopped beside the golden deer, and Pajia leaned forward, and said cautiously: "No matter what method you use, you must prevent the lamas and Tibetan troops in the northern suburbs of the temple from taking the fire. This is the first thing I want to tell you. In a word." "Nonsense!" Kangsa said contemptuously. "There is also a second sentence. Whether Tashi is arrested or released, the purpose is to attack Tudengrad and break up the family alliance of Dele Mansion, Rinchen Mansion, and Yongdan Mansion." "Still nonsense! The last sentence?" "Master Karon, Miss Mei Duo in your house likes Master Baima..." Kangsa heard this, interrupted him and said, "Fart! I'll slap your mouth." Pajia argued, "Kangsa and Dele are both top nobles in Lhasa. The two young people are well-matched and happy with each other. Isn't this a match made in heaven? The family naturally becomes a family. In this way, who is far and who is close, who is close and who is distant, how can Tudengrad be compared with you?" Kamsar, obviously impressed by him, listened. Pajia looked at his words and continued to say: "Kangsa Kalon has a far-sighted view, and the current situation is clearer than my slaves. If you can use Miss Meadow's marriage to resolve a bloody disaster under the Potala Palace, wouldn't it be your daughter? It has been passed down as a good story through the ages.” "According to your words, if I don't fulfill them, I will become a sinner through the ages?" "The tricky problem now is that someone wants to punish Tashi. This matter has nothing to do with you. The mastermind behind it is someone else. Whoever sent troops to question him will naturally take care of his ass. If you are right Tashi extended a helping hand, not only will they not resent you, but they will be grateful. Kangsa Kalun, I have finished my words." Kangsa thought about it, stared at Pajia, laughed, and finally cursed: "If you have milk, you are a mother, damn slave, you are a wolf!" After he returned home from the Jokhang Temple, he went straight to Mei Duo's room, but his daughter was not there.He came to Mei Duo's bed and sat down, suddenly found a book under the pillow, he opened the pillow, it turned out to be a photo album.Kang Sa took it over and looked through it, and in the photo album were inlaid photos of Baima playing on the basketball court of the barracks. Kangsa understood, and he said to himself: "What the Buddha doesn't know, all the ghosts know." Tashi and Deji were still trapped in the main building of Zhuwang Manor, the room was dark, and the fake slave who was feigning sleep was leaning against the cabinet, and he suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.Tashi, Deji, Gangzhu, etc. were all dozing off, and the two men who were guarding the window with forks and guns also fell asleep. The three fake servants opened their eyes, gestured to each other, took out the daggers in their robes, and approached Gang Zhu and the porter respectively. Gang Zhu was still asleep, snoring.A fake servant rushed over quickly, only to trip over a rope pulled from the table leg, and the teapots and teacups on the hidden table clanged and rattled.The other two fake servants quickly fell to the ground, stealthily observing this side. Gangzhu woke up startled, raised the gun in his hand and pointed at him and asked, "What are you doing?" The fake servant covered his stomach, bouncing and saying, "Master, I'm in a hurry to urinate, I'm going to pee." Gang Zhu looked at him, saw no flaws, and said, "Piss, go over there!" The fake servant made a gesture of urinating and walked away. Tashi has already woken up, and he observes everything around him calmly. The next morning, when Zhu Wang was having breakfast with Tashi and Deji, two fake servants were running around the room, distributing tsampa and serving tea. Another fake servant avoids everyone and uses the sunlight reflected by the mirror to send a signal to Punco in the courtyard.After Pingcuo received the signal, he commanded the Tibetan soldiers to quietly gather on both sides of the door of the building, and he personally led another team to climb to the roof from the side ladder. Gangzhu and the guy with the fork and gun were still guarding the stairs. They heard movement on the roof and looked up.The fake servant was approaching them with a bag of tsampa. Taking advantage of the waiter's turning around, he suddenly pounced on him and stabbed him.The guy yelled, startling everyone.Seeing this, Gangzhu rushed over, the fake servant threw tsampa in Gangzhu's face, and the two began to fight. The two fake servants in the drawing room also moved at the same time, attacking the other two boys.Tashi grabbed Zhu Wang by the collar and asked, "Zhu Wang, what are you doing?" "It's not me, it's really not me...Master Dele, they are official servants of the Kashag, and I can't help it." The fake servant was fighting with another guy, and they rolled to Deji's feet, and Deji raised the teapot and smashed the fake servant's head. There was chaos in the house. When Zhaxi saw the blood of the beating guy was all over the ground, he couldn't bear it and shouted: "Stop! Stop it!" Pingcuo and the Tibetan soldiers rushed down from the small door on the top of the building, and they went straight to Tashi and Deji.Gang Zhu and others rushed forward to wrestle with the Tibetan soldiers, and were finally captured by the Tibetan soldiers.Seeing that Tashi didn't want to resist anymore, Deji also retreated to Tashi's side, waiting for the Tibetan soldiers to surround him with dignity. Pingcuo stepped forward and said: "You are a noble master and a noble wife. I dare not commit any crimes. Please follow us back to Lhasa obediently, and let me hand in this errand. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life." "Go with you, yes! But treat my servants kindly and let them go." Tashi said. Yingsai, who was released by the Tibetan soldiers, suddenly rushed up from behind, punching and kicking Tashi.Pingcuo also took advantage of the opportunity to catch Deji, and when they were about to tie up, there were bursts of gunshots outside, and Pingcuo was stunned.A Tibetan soldier ran in and reported: "Adjutant Pingcuo, it's bad, we are surrounded by lama soldiers." "Where did the lama come from?" "I don't know, a large area of ​​scarlet and scarlet has blocked the door of the manor, and we can't get out." The Tibetan soldiers outside the courtyard fought and retreated. They could not resist the attack of the lama soldiers and hid in the courtyard one after another. The Tibetan soldiers who retreated finally tried to close the courtyard door, but were knocked into the ground by the lamas who rushed up. Zhandui and Baima commanded the lamas to rush into the courtyard like a red tide. Facing the lamas holding iron bars, iron keys, and rifles, the Tibetan soldiers were very timid, and they formed a confrontation in the courtyard. Phuntsok ran out of the house, he shouted loudly: "Which monastery are you from?" Lama Yundan stepped forward and shouted: "Blind your dog's eyes, I am the Great Lama Yundan of the Great Temple in the northern suburbs, don't kneel down for me." "I'm an official of the Kashag, and I'm here to take key criminals into custody. Great Lama, if you hinder the Kashag's errand, don't blame me for being disrespectful." Seeing that Phuntso was so rude, Zhandui said angrily: "I said Phuntso, the Great Lama Yundan didn't bless you, did he, but he did bless your ancestors. Disrespecting the Great Lama is blasphemy to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, come on, Call me! Let them taste the power of Buddhism!" The lamas heard this and rushed up to beat the Tibetan soldiers violently. The violence between the two sides escalated, and Yingsai hid aside in fright. Baima jumped up to the door of the building with his soldiers, ready to rush in to rescue Tashi.The Tibetan soldiers blocking the door fought with him, and Baima stabbed him with a knife, and the Tibetan soldiers fell down in response, bleeding continuously.Pingcuo knocked down two lamas, rushed to Baima, and held him with a spear. Just as the two sides were fighting, Pa Jia and an attendant came on horseback, and he shouted loudly: "Stop..., all stop..., Great Lama Yundan, here I come..., Adjutant Pingcuo, stop quickly... ..." Hearing the shout, Pingcuo looked back, and Baima took the opportunity to push him to the ground.Pajia rushed to them and tried to dissuade them: "Master Baima, stop. I'm Pajia, don't you know me? Master Tudengele's confidant." Lama Yundan also rushed over and asked, "What's going on?" "Misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!" Paja said to Phuntsok on the ground, "Get up, get up! Phuntsok, I brought Nima Daiben's order to stop this operation. Stop, stop immediately!" As he spoke, he threw a warrant on Phuntsok. With a confused face, Pingcuo grabbed the warrant and got up from the ground while watching. Baima helped Tashi and Deji out of the building.Pajia hurried forward and said, "I'm a step late, Mr. and Mrs. Dele, you're shocked!" Tashi glanced over and saw the wounded Tibetan soldiers and lamas lying on the ground in the courtyard, humming and chirping.He sighed and said: "Master Paka came in time, otherwise, I don't know how many people were killed or injured." Pajia loudly ordered Pingcuo: "Take your soldiers and withdraw, immediately withdraw from this courtyard!" Seeing Yingsai approaching, he said to him mysteriously: "Master Yingsai, retreat, it is the order of Kangsa Kalon .” Insel left angrily.Pingcuo held the token in his bosom and yelled, "Let's go!" He followed Yingsai to the courtyard gate, and the Tibetan soldiers limped out of the courtyard. Paka turned around and asked Deji with concern: "Madam, you are not in the way, where are you hurt?" "How is my brother-in-law in Lhasa?" Deji asked worriedly. "Rinchen Kalon is alive and well in Lhasa, sniffing snuff and sneezing as usual, just waiting for you and the master to return home." "Pajia, I have a question. Will Kangsa Kalon be frightened by the lamas in the northern suburbs temple? No way." Tashi asked. "Do you think...it's too sudden today?" "Kangsa can send another group of Tibetan soldiers to reinforce him, how could he give in so easily." Pajia was at a loss for words for a while, thinking about how to answer. Deji asked: "When the second brother-in-law sent you, didn't you send us a message?" "As for Mrs. Hui, it was not the Rinchen Kalon who sent me here, but the Kangsa Kalon." Deji was surprised, Tashi was surprised, and Zhandui asked, "When did you get involved with that old bastard Kangsa?" Paka shook his head and remained silent. "Couldn't it be that Kangsa wants to arrest us?" Deji asked puzzled. "Ma'am, you are wrong again. Kangsa Kalun didn't know about the detention of the pack team. ... This matter was entirely done by the first generation of the Tibetan army, Ben Nyima. In front of Daza Regent, I invite you to reward me." "But my family's pack team did carry supplies to support the war of resistance, and Kangsa was indeed in charge of inspecting this matter in Kashag." "What are the inspectors? They set up their own stoves and sing their own tunes. Kangsa Kalun has always turned a blind eye to this matter. If it wasn't for the pressure from the regent, he wouldn't bother to take care of it. Master Dele, think about it, has he questioned your pack team all these years?" Tashi thought about it. Baima listened carefully, and interjected, "Nima Daiben, what exactly is he planning to do?" "Do you still need to ask, to provoke the relationship between Rinchen Kalon and Kangsa Kalon, and profit from it. Lord Nima has been in the post of the first regiment of the Tibetan Army for too long, and he wants to climb up too much. Kangsa Kalon went to Kaxag He was very angry and knew that he was being used by villains. Of course, he and the Rinchen Kalon had always had political disagreements, and he wanted to explain himself, but he couldn’t save face. When he was in a dilemma, he happened to meet me I went to the conference hall to answer, but he caught him...Kangsa knew that I was the most trusted person of the Rinchen Kalon, so he praised me and asked me to mediate this matter, so I naturally agreed." "Does my second brother know?" Zhandui asked. "I was in a hurry when I left, and I didn't report back to Rinchen Kalon in person, but I have already sent someone to the master's house." "Deji, when we return to Lhasa, we must go to the Kangsa Mansion to thank you." Tashi said. 帕甲笑着说：“知恩图报，德勒老爷真是信守佛规要律的善主。” 扎西望着走远的平措等人，他沉思着。一场飞来的横祸就这样化解了，他的心里感到不真实。土登格勒请来了北郊大寺的僧兵，而康萨噶伦也随后请来土登格勒的亲信，这之间到底有怎样的玄机呢？也许，是我多虑了。 白玛连续几天都没回来，达娃央宗便心急火燎地爬上了路边的大树上，她眺望着远方，望眼欲穿。央宗老爹从宿营地过来，瞧见她，冲着她喊了一嗓子：“你又不是猴子，上树干什么？” “老爹，你来得正好，我饿了，扔给我点儿吃的。” 老爹无奈，只好把一块风干肉扔了上去。他担心地说：“丫头，这么多天了，那小军官不会来了，你就死了心吧。” “他敢不来！” “我帮你打听过了，兵站的人都不知道他去哪儿啦……跑了！” “他是德勒府的少爷，他能跑哪儿去！” “拉萨那些大贵族什么时候用眼皮子撩过我们康巴人，你怎么就不明白呢？” “他敢看不起我，我就宰了他。” “年轻的小伙子多得像河滩上的石头，你非跟自己较什么劲儿？我们康巴人无拘无束，敢爱敢恨，拿得起放得下……” 眺望远方的央宗眼中一亮，突然从树上跳了下来，老爹被她吓了一跳。央宗落地后，一边朝帐篷跑，一边说：“老爹，你就说我不在家。”说着，飞快地躲进了帐篷里。 “嘿，你这个丫头，疯疯癫癫的，我跟谁说你不在家啊？”老爹莫明其妙地问。 这时，老爹听见了由远而近的马蹄声，他抬眼望去，白玛匆匆而来。老爹笑了，嘟囔：“叫丫头说着了，这小子，敢不来！” 白玛骑马来到帐篷前，他直奔老爹，问道：“老爹，央宗在家吗？” 老爹故意大声地说：“她啊，不在家，不在家。”然后，用手指了指帐篷。 央宗藏在帐篷里，既激动又羞涩。 白玛心领神会地说：“噢，她不在，老爹，那我就回去了。” "let's go." 白玛用脚做出渐行渐远的声音。 央宗以为白玛真的走了，她急了，不顾一切地冲出帐篷。她跑出几步，发现志奎正在给白玛的马饮水，她明白了，脸上娇媚成了一朵花。感觉到白玛正在身后一步步地靠近自己，央宗突然拔出腰刀，转身指向白玛，白玛僵在那里。她涨红着脸说：“臭当兵的，你变心了。” "I don't." “你就是变心了。” “我真的没有。” “那你为什么才来？” 白玛抓住她的手，把腰刀缴了，歉疚地说：“我们家驮队在朱旺庄园出事儿啦。” "You didn't lie to me?" 老爹在一旁看到他们的关系缓和了，放心地躲开了。 “当然没骗你。噶厦的官差扣了我们家的驮队，我为了救阿爸阿妈跑了一趟拉萨……” “我以为你看上了别的姑娘。” “你这么凶巴巴的，我要去找别的姑娘了。” “你敢，你敢，你敢！” 夕阳之下，央宗骑马在溪边奔跑，马踏溪流，溅起朵朵浪花。岸边传来汉笛悠扬的曲子。 白玛坐在草地上吹着汉笛，央宗来到他身边，骑马绕圈，她问道：“这是什么曲子？” 白玛停下来，仰头问她：“好听吗？” “好听，听得我直想哭。”央宗边下马边说。 白玛见她坐过来，才说：“曲调儿是有些凄凉。央宗，你可能不知道，我从小是在寺院里长大的，十八岁之前我不知道自己的父亲是谁。” “你不是德勒府的少爷吗？” “现在是，过去不是。” “你把我给说糊涂啦。” “可能是因为我身份特殊，师傅一直让我住在家庙的佛堂里。每天晚上空空荡荡的屋子里只有我一个人，那时我只有六七岁，很小也很害怕。后来，我从乐器仓库里找到了这支汉笛，拿在手上当武器，给自己壮胆。再后来，我学会了吹笛子，发现它有另一种用途，你猜是什么？” “让我猜猜……吹笛子，与佛对话？” 白玛摇了摇头说：“每晚笛声响起的时候，都会招来耗子，开始是几只，后来是一大群。它们一边听我的曲子，一边爬到佛台上偷吃供果，偷吃酥油。慢慢地我们熟了，这群可爱的耗子就成了我的伙伴。” 央宗听着心酸，她说：“你小时候真可怜。” “不可怜，只是有些孤单。” “那……以后我就是你的小耗子，天天来听你吹笛子。” 土登格勒在路边设帐篷迎接扎西，奴仆们在帐篷前熬茶、摆干果、摆点心忙碌着。格勒、娜珍、卓嘎、琼达，他们有坐有站，朝官道的方向张望。葱美正陪三岁的儿子年扎玩着。 一名仆人匆匆跑来，大声地禀报：“老爷，府上的驮队已经过了山口。” 众人再次张望，驮队渐渐从山坡后面升起来，扎西和德吉骑马走在最前面，他们渐行渐近。格勒带着众人朝驮队迎了过去。 娜珍心绪复杂，她突然一阵恶心，赶紧捂住嘴巴，警惕地扫视身边的人，见大家都没注意她，便扭身跑到了帐篷后面。她蹲在地上，呕吐起来。 琼达出现在她背后，阴阳怪气地说：“二太太，你这是……有了吧？” 娜珍吓了一跳，赶紧起身，强忍着说：“你真会说笑，什么有了没了的，刚才多吃了两碗青稞酒，凉了胃，肚子有些不舒服。” 琼达怀疑的目光扫描她，笑而不语。 娜珍走向琼达，感伤地说：“我这是一片荒地，老爷不撒种子，它长不出庄稼来。走吧妹妹，我可比不了你，你家老爷知冷知热的。” 琼达却不屑地说：“谁稀罕他。” 驮队已经到了帐篷前，卓嘎上前拉着德吉的手，上下打量着问：“阿佳啦，没什么事儿吧？” “能有什么事儿。”德吉说道。 “他们哥俩可缺德了，嫌我嘴漏，什么都瞒着我。” “他们是怕你担心。” “我能不担心吗，这几天，我闻着味儿就不对，心里就像热锅里炒青稞粒子，噼里啪啦的，就没一刻消停过。” “你再咋呼，青稞粒子就从嘴里蹦出来了。”德吉笑着说。 格勒上前寒暄：“让姐夫受惊了。” “我倒没什么，顶多路上耽搁几天。我一直担心你，在噶厦里外斡旋，操心费力才有了今天的局面。”扎西说。 “峰回路转，连我都没想到。” 扎西看到身边的帕甲，真诚地说：“是帕甲大人化解了一场血腥之灾。” “老爷教诲我这么多年，门下愚笨，照猫画虎只学到了皮毛。”帕甲谦虚地说。 格勒颇有意味地扭头看着帕甲，一语双关地说：“照猫画虎？你这虎画得生动，扔块牛骨头它都能扑上来，要是饿急了，也指不定咬到谁。” “帕甲大人确实精明能干，前途不可限量。” “听见啦，帕甲？我姐夫夸你呢。那出包青天的京剧怎么唱来着，先斩后奏，你小子出息了。” 对于格勒的不满，帕甲早有准备，他一龇牙算是答复了。 娜珍迎了过来，热热乎乎地说：“几位老爷，别站着说话，帐篷里备好了茶点，快进去歇歇吧。” “妹夫，帕甲大人，里面坐。”扎西说道。 娜珍与帕甲四目相望，很微妙。 众人随着娜珍进了帐篷，格勒走到帐篷门口瞥见了在一旁玩耍的年扎，他故意落在后面，一扭身和葱美一起去逗孩子。他心不在焉，视线离开年扎，扫过驮队，眺望着远方，思索着。 见到了扎西和德吉，土登格勒心里的石头总算落了地。但他不明白康萨噶伦怎么会信任帕甲，他们之间到底发生了什么？是和解，交易，还是更大的阴谋？昨天在噶厦议事厅见到了康萨噶伦，他一反常态，半真半假地客套起来，话里话外却透着另一番意味，那会是什么呢？
