Chapter 237

After the Murong Army occupied the Jiao Tribe camp, they learned that in an attempt to secure an opportunity to unify the various tribes of Qinghai, the Jiao Tribe had specifically dispatched envoys to bribe and lobby the Lung Tribe, who guarded the Tanggula Mountains. The ancestors of the Lung Tribe had once been powerful. During the late Tang Dynasty, a man named Lung Kongre had even declared himself the Prime Minister of the Tibetan Kingdom in a bid to unify the region, though he was ultimately wiped out by the true regent, Shang Bibi. Since then, the Lung Tribe had remained stationed in the Tanggula Mountains, deciding to never leave the mountains regardless of the political shifts in the Tibetan Kingdom. The current chieftain of the Lung Tribe was originally named Lung Lengxian, but to forever remember the tragedy of Lung Kongre, he changed his name to Lung Leng, constantly reminding himself to stay low and never act recklessly. However, the strength of the Lung Tribe was not to be underestimated, and Jiaosilu had even promised them vast amounts of gold and silver to secure the support of the Tibetan royal court. The thousand large carts that Murong Fu discovered after occupying the Jiao Tribe camp were, in fact, the treasure intended for the Lung Tribe.
