Chapter 7 What to do

Rangel didn't know how to answer. Over the years, the Hu people and the Han army have fought many times, and the Han army has encircled and suppressed the Hu people many times, which has greatly damaged their vitality.

Last summer's drought and locust ravages left the grasslands desolate, and the long winter was marked by severe snowstorms and unusually cold deaths......

Now they have retreated to the hinterland north of the desert to recuperate...... She couldn't say that, let alone reveal her identity and be silent.

Su Wu listened to their conversation and knew Chang Hui's intentions and felt embarrassed by Rangel, so he said, "You young people, you really don't know what tiredness is!"

He often touched his elbow to Lower Wrangel and whispered, "Sleep!"

After a while, Chang Hui began to snore. Rangel listened to the soft snoring beside him and thought, this General Su is still a very careful person, and he has relieved my embarrassment...... She fell asleep thinking about it

It was already noon on the third day when they walked out of the sand gully, and they ate some food they had brought with them, and finally set foot on the so-called regular road with sand ridges and hills on one side and swampy wetlands on the other. Everyone walked out of the drought and smelled the wetness, and the mood was much happier.

Su Wu calculated in his heart that the distance traveled in the past ten days was half of the distance from Yunzhong to his destination. The two guides were okay and led the team to a bow string. Not to mention avoiding the heat of the desert, I also took a shortcut.

Su Wu looked at the scorching sun, on one side was the bare sand barren hills, on the other side was the old road of the sand river that was about to dry up, and patches of wetlands grew moss and some shrubs and willows. The air above the wetland plants shook and shivered with frightening sun.

Everyone walked and walked, and it was not new. Gradually, I felt unbearably hot all over my body, sweating profusely, and panting. Several elderly Hun envoys had already taken a step and could not move their legs.

This hellish place, if you encounter bandits...... Su Wu was sweating, his hand on his forehead, squinting at the sky, the sky was cloudless and only the sun, and then looked at the people on the road who were breathing step by step, and couldn't help but ask the guide next to him: "Mr. Hu, is this road safe?"

"It's basically peaceful. ”

"Look, the old people in the team are already too hot, shouldn't we take a break?"

Hu Tuli wiped the sweat from his head, looked around, pointed to the sand ditch in front of him, which was five feet high from the road, and said, "There is room for so many people to rest!"

Su Wu observed the surrounding terrain: "Okay!"

Under the leadership of Hu Tuli, they climbed up the sand ditch with great difficulty, and walked forward two feet away, and there was a natural hole in it, which could accommodate more than a hundred people.

Su Wu personally entered the cave and knocked it with a scepter, which was quite strong. Instructed Zhang Sheng to arrange for everyone to go into the cave to rest, eat some food, and go outside to climb to a high place to post a sentry.

This time he entered the desert and walked through the passage, and Su Wu's vigilance became even higher. Although the guides are responsible, they are Hu people after all. As the person in charge of the escort, you must pay attention to safety at all times and in the place.

I often come up after a break: "My lord, I'll come!

Su Wu said, "Your eyes must be wide open!"

"I know! Don't worry!" he saw Su Wu go down, and stood there observing the surroundings.

Ranger came up with a sheepskin bladder: "Brother Chang!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Sentry with you!" she said, sitting at his feet and tugging at the corners of his trousers, "Sit down!"

They sat together. He always looks at the road.

"There's no need to be so nervous!," said Rangel, "and it's rarely inhabited, and Hu Bing doesn't come here." ”

"How do you know that Hu Jun is not here?" he watched her warily.

"Why do you think of me like this?" she said dissatisfiedly, "This is the farthest road from the royal court, and now is not the time for war!"

He smiled and asked, "Then you say, when is the time for war?"

"I won't tell you!" she ignored him, but she didn't leave.

Hutuli couldn't see Rangel and walked out of the cave and shouted, "Rangel!"

"It's coming!" she stood up and walked down.

When he saw his daughter coming, he whispered angrily, "Don't leave me!"

"Yes, uncle!" Rangel chuckled mischievously.

He wanted to prepare his daughter, but he didn't say anything, but just grabbed her shoulder: "Young man, I'm not familiar with geography, don't run around!"

According to his observation, Chang Hui is a clever and intelligent young man, and if he can follow the Su envoy, he is not an ordinary person. He was afraid that his daughter would be with him, and he would show his stuff when he didn't pay attention to talking.

After resting for an hour, everyone avoided the most poisonous season of the sun, and the team set off again. Not long after they walked down the avenue, there was a faint cry for help from behind, and it was getting closer and closer, it was the voice of an old woman calling for help.

Su Wu handed the scepter to Zhao Gen'er behind him and ordered Zhang Sheng to rest in place with the team. He often rode a horse back more than three feet and blocked the road. Hu Tuli also came to stand in front of the two of them.

Suddenly, they saw two bearded men on horseback, a gray-haired old woman crying for help with a bundle behind her, and a child holding a crying grandmother in front of her.

Su Wu stepped forward, blocked the middle of the road, and shouted: "Stop!

Chang would immediately hit his horse and step forward to guard Su Wu's side, and Hu Tuli Pegasus went over to block their retreat.

The two had no choice but to restrain their horses, and the bearded man said angrily: "Who dares to block the way of the prince!"

The old woman shouted, "Benefactor, help!"

The five- or six-year-old girl cried, "Grandma!"

Su Wu dismounted and asked with a pleasant face: "Two strong men, why is this so?"

The young man was furious: "She belongs to our tribe, she wants to steal back to the clouds, and we will find and capture her!"

"I see!" Su Wu said in a consultative tone, "Please dismount and talk about it!"

"You are Han, don't worry about our business!"

Hu Tuli said: "I am a Hu person, I should take care of it!"

The two had no choice but to dismount. Hu Tuli untied the old man from his horse, and often stepped forward to pick up the bound child.

The old man looked at Su Wu, who was dressed in the costume of a Han general, and immediately knelt in front of him and cried, saying: "I, my six-year-old son, more than twenty years, years ago, coerced and coerced here, ...... here."

After listening to the old man's simple cry, he learned that the old man and his six-year-old son were robbed by the Hu people when he was young and farmed for the headman. When the son grew up, he married a local woman and gave birth to two daughters.

Two years ago, my son died in battle, and my daughter-in-law married my eight-year-old eldest daughter. There are only her and this little granddaughter in the family, and life is difficult.

The old man cried and said, "I, I don't want to, I want to take this little one back to the clouds." Just, just all the way, begging to the south, just, just walked on the avenue, been, was discovered, appeared. Woohoo......"

Su Wu knew the old man's thoughts about returning to his roots, but he was facing a Hu guide who didn't know his identity, and he couldn't duel with the two Hu people in front of him to rob the hostages, what should he do......
