Quick mission: We don't make trouble

The chieftain, Tashi, rode his horse and galloped all the way to the Lama Temple. He casually threw the reins to the followers who followed closely behind him, and then strode into the Lama Temple.

He had been away for the past few days to welcome the ceremonial procession of the Princess of Da Zhou. Unexpectedly, after only a few days' absence, several strange Han Chinese had inexplicably appeared in the village! Even more surprising was that these Han Chinese had actually claimed to be guests of Master Jiacuo.

If Yangjin had not said that these Han people were from the same family, with the old and the young together, he would have doubted their purpose of coming here.

It was the time when the princess arrived, so he had to take any coincidences and adverse factors into consideration.

Tashi thought to himself that this matter was quite strange, so he decided to go to the Lama Temple in person to ask Master Jiacuo what had happened.

As soon as I stepped into the Lama Temple, the little Lama came to greet me.

Zhaxi said straight to the point: "Where is the master now? I have something important to see him about."

The young lama replied respectfully, "Master Tashi, I am truly sorry. The master is currently in retreat and cannot meet with anyone for the time being."

"Then when can he be released?" Zhaxi asked.

The young lama thought for a moment, then replied, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the wedding of the prince and the Princess of Da Zhou is over."

Hearing this answer, Zhaxi couldn't help but frown. Such a long wait was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Master, do you have any other special instructions about those Han people?" Zhaxi continued to ask.

The young lama nodded and said, "The master once said that if you ask about those Han people, there is no need to ask too many questions. Just arrange for them to pass the journey, meet their requirements, and let them follow the caravan to the Great Zhou."

Zhaxi nodded silently, indicating that he understood the master's meaning.

Since even the master said so, he didn't bother to argue any further. After turning around and leaving the lama temple, although the doubts in Tashi's heart were not completely eliminated, he still decided to handle the matter according to the master's instructions.

After all, Master Jiacuo's wisdom and prestige are unmatched in the local area, and the decisions he makes must have their profound meanings... and the master is his uncle, he believes that the master will not do anything bad to him, the village, or even Tubo.

What's more, those Han people included both old and young people, and they didn't look like spies.

Zhaxi mounted his horse again and galloped back to the manor.

Call the housekeeper and ask him carefully about the situation of these Han guests.

The butler told him what he knew.

After hearing this, Zhaxi tapped the table with one hand and pondered: "Come from the West, descendants of merchants from the Dayu Dynasty, going to the Great Zhou to trace their roots... Could it be... No wonder Master..."

Zhaxi seemed to have figured something out.

He said to the chief steward, "I will show them the way tomorrow. I will also try my best to meet their needs and take good care of them along the way."

"Yes, sir."

The butler agreed respectfully.

Seeing that the master had no intention of making things difficult for him, the butler then spoke again, "Master, the young lady from the Zhu family said that she has some prescriptions and recipes that she wants to present to you, Master, and she hopes to present them to you in person.

I wonder if the master would like to see her?"

Master Zhaxi waved his hand and said with a hint of impatience: "What do I need those prescriptions and recipes for? There's no need to see them."

He was a brave warrior from Tibet, a hero on horseback, and his only love was his steed and his razor-sharp sword. How could he be interested in so-called prescriptions and recipes? This was just the women's superficial opinion.

Moreover, the dowry sent by the Emperor of Great Zhou to the Princess of Great Zhou for marriage was packed with everything. Several carts were filled with medical and agricultural books alone. In addition, dozens of imperial doctors and chefs were also brought along. How could they not know anything?

In his eyes, these few prescriptions and recipes are really not worth mentioning.

However, he still instructed the housekeeper to arrange everything for these Han people.

And give the blank pass with the seal to the housekeeper and let him fill it out himself.

Since these small matters were handled by the housekeeper, he no longer took them to heart.

Master Zhaxi went to wash up and went to the camp of Princess Da Zhou with his wife Bai Ma.

The Princess of Zhou will hold a banquet to thank them.

Thank you for your welcome and escort.

After the housekeeper respectfully saw off Master Tashi and Lady Baima, he immediately went to the courtyard where the guests were staying.

At this moment, Zhu Qingqing and her friends were having a great time eating skewers in the yard.

Dawa was startled when the butler appeared. He couldn't swallow or spit out the lamb skewers in his mouth. He just puffed up his cheeks, shrunk his neck, and looked at the butler like a silly goose.

Wang Xiangdong came forward with a smile on his face and greeted him warmly, "Hey, butler, you're here! We were just about to have some barbecue, and you've arrived just in time. Come and try some! Would you like some beer or white wine?"

As the butler stepped through the door, a rich aroma filled his nose. He followed the scent and saw the beef on the iron plate sizzling with oil, emitting an enticing luster and flavor that made him swallow his saliva.

Although he had tasted countless delicacies with the headman, this scene before him was particularly exciting. Yu Bo held a string of freshly grilled lamb skewers and handed it to the butler with a smile: "Butler, please try my cooking and see how it goes."

The butler quickly took it and carefully took a bite. Instantly, the delicious juiciness of the meat permeated his mouth, the unique spice flavor and tender texture intoxicating. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed, "Wow, my mouth is full of fragrance! It's so delicious!" As if overwhelmed by the deliciousness, the butler took a few more bites, thoroughly savoring this rare dining experience.

After finishing a skewer in a few bites, Zhu Qingqing put the fried steak on a plate and handed it to him.

"Butler, please try the steak I made."

Zhu Yingying handed over a glass of barley wine at the right time.

Barley wine and steak are a perfect match!

"Butler, you are in for a treat. My sister is a famous chef in our place."

The butler didn't hesitate and directly reached out to grab the steak and put it into his mouth.

Wow, the taste is different from the lamb skewers just now.

The steak melts in your mouth, is tender and juicy, and leaves you with an unforgettable aftertaste.

Have another sip of barley wine.

Well, the rich aroma of wine and the deliciousness of steak blend together, making you intoxicated.

The butler had a delicious meal before explaining his purpose.

He said that Master Zhaxi had already given him the pass and all they had to do was fill it out.

As for the prescriptions and recipes they wanted to present to the master, the butler was more cautious and said that the master had no time to see them, so they could just give them to him directly.

He thought that this family's barbecue was so delicious, it seemed that they had some talent. Maybe those prescriptions and recipes were really good things. After all, they were given to the master, so there was nothing wrong with him keeping them for the master.

Seeing that the pass issue was settled, Zhu Qingqing had nothing else to say. She asked Zhu Yingying to hand over the prescription and recipe to the housekeeper.

The butler carefully put it in his arms and kept it away.

Go back and take a look at it slowly.

Zhu Yingying felt a little frustrated, and she confidently used the prescription and recipe to ask for some benefits, but in the end she didn't even see the person and didn't even have a chance to bargain.

But in the end, the butler said that the master had given instructions and they could satisfy whatever they needed.

Wu Di said bluntly: "We need money."

Zhu Qingqing glared at her: "What do you know?"

He smiled and said to the butler, "We don't know what we'll need along the way. Please help prepare some for us, I'd be very grateful."

After enjoying a meal with the other party and receiving instructions from the master, the chief steward said generously, "No problem. Have Guard Wang come to me tomorrow and I'll make all the arrangements for you."

Everyone thanked him again, and the butler walked away dazed amid the flattery.

Zhu Qingqing was already very satisfied with getting the pass and being able to prepare some things for them.
