"No!" Yu Shinan, the most experienced person in the car, shook his head vigorously, but defended Gu Zheng: "This son will never be a Hu man." ”

"In my few conversations with him, I found that although this son was born as a farmer, he had learned a very orthodox and slightly innovative gentleman's etiquette. ”

"The quality of the literati displayed in him is by no means inferior to the value of his force. ”

"Such a person must be a person who admires Han culture, how can it be a Turk outside the domain. ”

"Impossible, such a barbaric place is a habitat for uncivilized people who drink Mao Ru's blood, and there will never be a talent like Gu Zheng. ”

Hey, this little old man's evaluation of Gu Zheng is high enough.

Cheng Yanjin on the side widened his squinted eyes in shock.

And just when they were arguing, Gu Zheng in front of him suddenly said, "It's here." ”

When several people behind the carriage heard this, they hurriedly twisted their necks and looked ahead.

When they saw the tall cyan city wall, which stretched endlessly and above the mountains, even the captives in the car muttered the name of this place: "Yanmen Pass!"

Yanmen Pass Pass, also known as Baicaokou.

It is one of the eighteen passes of Yanmen, connecting the ancient road of Yanmen Pass, and is a very important road that links the north-south trade routes, and the merchants and people inside and outside the customs walk together.

This pass, a pass with two military fortresses, is stationed on the north and south sides, and is separated by huge mountain ranges, forming a very important garrison to resist the strategic location of the Eastern Turks outside the Guanwai.

And now, the general stationed in Changsheng Fort, a few miles outside Yanmen Pass, came specially to assist Li Yuan and suppress and pacify Li Shimin in Xishan.

This is also the destination of Gu Zheng's trip, and in a short period of time, it will become the terminal of his manpower and materials.

Everything he can touch, everything he can imagine, and capable people who can get his hands on it, will be stuffed here one after another.

Well, that's what he thought of as a 'brilliant' idea.

It's getting more and more improper.

But Gu Zheng was very happy.

Isn't this what Li Yuan wants to do now?

Don't be a maid and have to talk behind that plaque, let's open the highlights.

As a result, outside Changsheng Fort, there was a phenomenon that had not been encountered in a century.

Today's Li Shimin, as usual, with his personal guard brigade, stationed sentries outside Yanmen Pass, and the location of the camp entrance, when he was on a routine patrol, he was attacked by an inexplicable person.

Why not an enemy?

It should be because he has never even seen the shadow of others.

It was just an arrow, a cold arrow that couldn't find the shooter's location, flying straight towards him.

Directly inserted into the tassel of his helmet waving in the wind, the tip of the arrow pointed directly at the joint point of the feather, stuck on it, as if there was an extra tail feather, tightly fitted.

This shows that the person who fired this arrow is very good at archery.

If Li Shimin was the real enemy, if the archers sincerely wanted his life, he would not have sat on horseback safely at this time, and looked at the tail of the arrow as he walked forward, and a letter to him was attached to it.

The handwriting on this letter is really well written, upright, clear and powerful.

At first glance, he is a cultural person.

But the content of this letter is also inexplicable.

Because it's a map.

Inside and outside Yanmen Pass, a very detailed topography map within a radius of ten miles.

Among them, the mountain springs and the checkpoint roads are exhaustive, which makes Li Shimin wonder who is the guard of this Yanmen Pass.

On this map, on the slope about a kilometer west of the road that Li Shimin patrols every day, a small red dot is marked.

Above the small red dot, an arrow sticks out, and only one sentence is written on it.

Gift.

I'm curious, is there any?

Scratching the heart and lungs, suspicious and suspicious.

Afraid of being a trap, he couldn't help but turn his footsteps in the direction marked on Gu Zheng's map.

This made Li Shimin, who has always been resolute, hesitate.

He picked it up and put it down, put it down and picked it up again.

Hesitating, his subordinates were not idle in the direction pointed on the map, and sent three waves of scouts, which was planned and decided.

And at this time, at the gift location designated by Gu Zheng, what is Gu Zheng doing?

He was directing Gu Yi to San, ramming a huge wooden stake on the relatively gentle dirt road halfway up the hillside.

The first time, together with Yu Shinan, the three of them tied to this wooden stick in a circle.

Of course, the military generals were tied tightly, and Yu Shinan just deliberately used a ribbon to attach one of his hands to the edge of the pillar, which meant it.

As for Qin Qiong's ten personal guards, they were unceremoniously trapped by Gu Zheng, and they were still in the place where the cart was hidden in the dense forest early, and they were taken care of by Gu Si and Gu Wu.

After doing all this, Gu Zheng patted the floating soil on his hand with satisfaction.

When he was about to take the Gu family's brothers to wash off their clothes, as if he had thought of something, he took another hemp rope and tied a rough bow in front of Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao.

Left behind a word they didn't understand.

"That's right, it's a bit of a gift. ”

After speaking, he was reluctant, turned his back to them, and when he left, he faced the sun and waved his hand in a chic manner, so that the three people who were staring at Gu Zheng's back suddenly burst into tears.

Thousands of miles away hostages, and in the end, just to be tied to a pole to bask in the sun?

They don't believe it.

So, these three gifts waited patiently.

And Gu Zheng, who returned to the position of their carriage, looked at the pillar condescendingly from the top of the cliff, waiting for the result this time, and did not forget to promise Qin Qiong's guards who were trapped in a string of grasshoppers beside him: "Don't worry. ”

"I'm not worried about letting you go now, in case your Savior is eager to release the three of them in advance, then I will be busy in vain. ”

"Don't panic, when the real people come over and let go of your general, I'll let you go immediately. ”

"Just go to General Qin, okay?"

Through the influence of the charisma along the way, these ten people are obedient like quails.

On the contrary, he honestly looked at the scene under the cliff, and was very curious about Gu Zheng's purpose in doing this.

This is a full half an hour later, after seeing the figure of the three groups of people who came to investigate secretly, Gu Zheng wanted to wait for the main master, but it was too late.

After seeing the wooden stake with such a unique shape and seeing the gift with such rich content, Li Shimin only felt a toothache.

He turned over and dismounted, and ran in the direction of Yu Shinan in a panic.

"Mr. Yu, why are you here? Hurry up, let the disciple and I loosen the tie for you. ”

When Li Shimin was young, he had a relationship with Yu Shinan in Chang'an.

Yu Shinan's status is precious, and the aristocratic etiquette has a long heritage.

Li Yuan's two knives naturally sent the children of the family to Yu Shinan to learn etiquette and correct manners.

Among the three people, Li Shimin naturally recognized Yu Shinan at first sight.

As for the other two, Li Shimin didn't hesitate to ask, and Cheng Biting Jin under the wooden pole howled.

"Quick, this strong man, but let someone untie me?"

"When I'm free, can I talk to you in detail?"

Looking at Cheng Biting Jin on top of this pillar, Li Shimin only felt inexplicably funny, he made a look with a guard next to him, and put Cheng Biting Jin down from under the wooden stick.

By the way, Qin Qiong also loosened the tie.

But who would have thought that Cheng Biting Jin, who had gained freedom, stood very comfortably in an empty space where no one was, and after stretching his muscles and bones in a fake way, he turned his head and ran.

Joke, this group of people looks like they are dressed up as officials and soldiers, what if they change hands and send him to the hands of the imperial court?

But this act of biting gold must be futile, Li Shimin glanced over a few times, and the fastest team of the most elite scout troops behind him rushed over.

Under the helpless pounding of Cheng Bitingjin's short legs, he was pressed on the lawn on the spot.

"Grandpa's, Gu Zheng hurt me. ”
