Chapter 260 Let’s exchange it all for gold
In the deep night, the entire Tubo camp was quiet. The soldiers responsible for guarding stood in the lee with their arms folded, their eyes wide open as they tried to take a nap secretly.

"Hey, don't fall asleep, kid! If the general finds out that you have neglected your duties, he will definitely chop off your head!"

Someone cursed in a low voice, and then there was a sound of footsteps, and the soldiers returned to the patrol route.

In a corner that none of them noticed, a pair of black boots fell down. The owner of the boots was like a nimble cat, escaping from their sight and groping all the way towards the camp where Yang Yanzhang was.

At this time, Yang Yanzhang was lying on the bed sleeping. He finally fell asleep and snored softly.

Yao Yun lay beside him, breathing lightly and almost inaudibly.

But she suddenly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the camp door.

There was a scream of grasshoppers outside the camp. Yao Yun stood up, took a coat and put it on his shoulders, feeling in the dark and walking toward the door.

She didn't wear any shoes, and her bare feet didn't make any sound as she stepped on the soft carpet.

The chirping of the grasshopper outside the door stopped, and a hand reached into the tent.

As soon as the palm of the hand was loosened, the paper ball fell down.

Yao Yun bent down and picked up the paper ball. He held it in his hand and did not rush to open it. Instead, he whispered in the direction of the door: "One watch at dusk."

It was quiet outside the camp.

Yao Yun turned around and walked towards the bed. She took off her coat and got into bed again.

The next day, Yang Yanzhang rubbed his forehead and stood up.

At yesterday's dinner, he and Lun Qinling drank wine. This morning, he woke up with a severe headache, and his forehead felt like it was going to explode.

"Tubo's drunkenness is too strong."

He shook his head vigorously and became even more dizzy.

Yao Yun came over with a handkerchief soaked in warm water, put it gently on his forehead, and said softly: "Sir, will you have a day off today?"

"No, today is my first day on duty with Lun Qinling. I have to go no matter what."

Even if he found out he was lame after getting up today, he would still have to limp over on crutches!
"Thank you sir, I'm going to the kitchen to see if I can make you a bowl of hangover soup."

Yao Yun helped Yang Yanzhang wash up and then left.

The guard outside the door led Yang Yanzhang to find Lun Qinling.

In the big tent, Lun Qinling sat behind the desk with a frown on his face.

"General."

Yang Yanzhang bowed his hands and said.

Lun Qinling immediately waved to him and shouted: "Master Yang, come here and help me see what happens to this matter!"

Yang Yanzhang took a step forward and looked at the letters on the desk.

He didn't know Tibetan writing. At first glance, he couldn't understand anything. He could only say to Lun Qinling: "General, I don't know Tibetan writing."

Lun Qinling was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately reacted and blamed himself: "I forgot, you are from the Tang Dynasty, so it is normal that you don't know Tubo writing."

"Let me tell you what is said in this letter. I have a nephew who met a monk a few days ago and wanted to invite him to preach in Tubo, but the monk refused to go."

"Master Yang, do you have any good ideas to make this monk willing to go to Tubo?"

The Tubo people migrated with water and grass all year round and lacked a complete belief system. However, the Tubo nobles had the opportunity to come into contact with Buddhism and worshiped it very much.

They hoped to find monks to enter Tubo to preach, but the Tang Dynasty did not allow this to happen.Now that the Tang Dynasty is in decline, Tubo has begun to think about this matter and wants to allow monks to enter Tubo to preach.

However, there were many cases where monks were afraid of the power of the Tang Dynasty and were unwilling to go to Tibet. Even if they paid their lives for it, they were unwilling to surrender.

Yang Yanzhang admired the monk's choice in his heart, but he still wanted to help Lun Qinling with his advice.

"General, this matter can be easily solved. All we need to do is let this monk see the life of the Tibetan people. He will definitely not be able to bear it. By then, if the general invites him again, he will definitely be willing to go."

Lun Qinling slapped his thigh and said happily: "Master Yang is still smart! This is a good idea. I will ask someone to tell my nephew about it now!"

Yang Yanzhang solved the problem for Lun Qinling, and he was naturally praised by the other party.

He returned to the camp, drank the hangover soup brought by Yao Yun, and looked at the gold and silver treasures laid out on the ground.

"The general is so kind to you. If you convert all these things into gold, you can buy several houses!" Yao Yun looked at the jewelry in the box and said with a smile.

Yang Yanzhang put down the bowl and said expressionlessly: "Then I will do as you say and exchange everything for gold."

Yao Yun's expression changed, and he couldn't hide his surprise.

"Sir, if you exchange them all for gold, will it arouse the general's suspicion? The treasures he gave to you are of great value. Do you really want to exchange them all for gold?"

How can anyone in this world dare to blatantly exchange all the treasures rewarded by those in power into gold?
If Yang Yanzhang really did this, wouldn't he be directly telling Lun Qinling that he was always ready to run away with the gold?
Yao Yun didn't want to see Yang Yanzhang's head fall to the ground.

If he died, he would not be able to survive in this Tubo camp!
"Just go and change it."

"But……"

At this time, even Yaoyun couldn't understand the meaning of Yang Yanzhang's move, but she did not continue to ask.

The fact that all the rewards were exchanged for gold by Yang Yanzhang soon reached the ears of Lun Qinling.

He was previously happy to have solved the problem of monks refusing to enter Tibet.

At this moment, he frowned, listening to the counselors around him analyze the meaning behind Yang Yanzhang's move.

"In my opinion, Yang Yanzhang is a Tang Dynasty man after all, and he must have a heart for the Tang Dynasty. Even if he joins you today, it is just a temporary measure."

These words reached Lun Qinling's heart, and he began to wonder whether Yang Yanzhang had sincerely surrendered to Tubo.

But it is a bit hasty to convict him of having second thoughts based on just a little gold.

"Is there any way you can directly test whether Yang Yanzhang is loyal to me?"

On Qinling asked.

After thinking for a moment, the counselor replied: "General, why don't you just summon Yang Yanzhang here and ask him what he thinks? If he really has second thoughts, he will definitely be frightened."

"You are right, let him come to see me now!"

After Lun Qinling gave the order, Yang Yanzhang quickly arrived at the tent. After arranging his appearance outside the door, he walked in with a calm expression.

"I have seen the general."

After he saluted, he did not receive the same treatment as before.

Lun Qinling looked at him coldly and said in a bad tone: "Master Yang, what do you mean by changing all my rewards into gold? I don't know that you Tang Dynasty people actually have the guts to exchange my rewards for gold." All sold!”

Lun Qinling was really angry.

Yang Yanzhang would definitely not dare to sell Wu Zetian's reward, but he would dare to sell his own reward!
How could he endure this!
