"It turned out to be Brother Meng, but what happened. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The one-armed man who came in, Gu Hui, recognized it, but it was Meng Zhuang, who he met in the armory shop before, and once heard him say that he was going to follow the army to Yangguan, but looking at his panicked appearance now, something must have happened.
Just as Gu Hui was guessing, he heard Meng Zhuang say anxiously: "On this expedition, General Kong Wu led the soldiers to fight hard, won a few small victories, relieved the siege of Yangguan and forced the Turks to retreat to the Snake Stream, but I didn't expect that when the army attacked the Snake Stream, the enemy set up an ambush, and General Kong and tens of thousands of soldiers were trapped inside.
In desperation, General Kong ordered our soldiers to desperately rush out of the encirclement and come to Chang'an for help, and said that we must find you and ask you to go. After breaking out of the encirclement, thousands of soldiers were killed, only me and several horsemen escaped, and after returning to Chang'an to see the emperor, they hurried over. “
After Meng Zhuang finished speaking, he fell to his knees with a plop.
"What did the emperor say?"
Gu Hui pondered for a while and asked.
"In the court, Cheng Qiansui is old, not suitable for long-distance turbulent ambush, the protector of the country is sick in bed, General Wei Chi stayed in the palace to protect the emperor Zhou Quan, unable to withdraw, the others are all civil officials, no one can go, the emperor said that only the ancient general can take on this great responsibility. ”
Meng Zhuang said and looked at Gu Hui with an anxious expression.
At this moment, there was a sound of orderly footsteps outside the door, and I heard the Praetorian Guards outside the hall kneeling down and making a respectful, greeting voice, if you guessed correctly, Li Shimin arrived.
"Gu Aiqing, what Meng Zhuangshi said is not wrong, General Kong's soldiers are trapped in the snake stream, and now there is no one in the court, only you can take on this important responsibility, for our Tang Dynasty, this emperor ordered you to go into battle and go to rescue General Kong.
Outside the palace gate, Li Shimin and several palace eunuchs stood there, with a worried face, and said to Gu Hui.
"Wechen took the order. “
Gu Hui no longer hesitated, hurriedly lowered his head, and made a great salute to Li Shimin, saying.
"Well, this is the Tiger Talisman, you take it to the military headquarters to mobilize three thousand soldiers and horses, and set off immediately. “
Li Shimin took a fist-sized, glittering tiger talisman from a golden plate at the end of the palace eunuch behind him, and handed it to Gu Hui.
"Your Majesty, you don't need this. The minister is not good at leading the army to fight the cane, and rescuing General Kong can be done alone. “
Gu Hui raised his head and said to Li Shimin.
"Good. That's according to Aiqing's words. “
Li Shimin was slightly stunned, took back the tiger talisman and put it on a plate.
Gu Hui's eyes swept Meng Zhuang beside him, turned around, roughly cleaned up in the hall, made a package and carried it on his back, tied the Pangu lock around his waist, and took out a drawn Tengyun talisman and pasted it on his body.
"Your Majesty, Weichen will leave now, please tell the tutor and Miss Feiyan, saying that I will return the same day. “
"Okay, Aiqing, don't worry, the emperor will definitely bring the words. “
Li Shimin nodded and said.
Gu Hui packed up, walked out of the hall door with Meng Zhuang, stood on the steps, pinched the trick with one hand, and chanted something.
Seeing a fist-sized air mass emerge from his body, it turned into a half-zhang cloud in a moment, Gu Hui grabbed Meng Zhuang, pulled him into it, and urged the magic trick, the cloud rolled for a while, rose from the ground, and floated high into the sky.
"I have such a capable person in Datang, and I don't have to worry about it for a hundred years. “
Looking at Gu Hui who was flying away, Tang Taizong stroked his dragon beard, laughed, turned around, and returned to the palace.
Gu Hui pulled Meng Zhuang, who was standing unsteadily, and according to what he pointed out, he urged the clouds to go out of the west gate of Chang'an, and crossed the mountains and mountains towards Yangguan.
It was a huge city made of sand, magnificent, but somewhat desolate, and countless people in foreign costumes walked around the city, looking at their appearances, long noses and green eyes, not from Middle-earth, but from outside the territory.
Yangguan is a fortress set up in the western border of the Tang Dynasty, out of Yangguan, it is no longer the territory of the Tang Dynasty, all the way to the west, there are countless small countries in the Western Regions arranged there in turn, through these countries, and then 108,000 miles, it is the Lingshan Holy Domain, the ancient temple of Leiyin.
Xuanzang's westward journey was from Yangguan and went to the Leiyin Ancient Temple in the West to learn scriptures.
Looking at the yellow sand in the sky, outside the desolate Yangguan City, Gu Hui sighed and couldn't help but groan: "Persuade you to drink a glass of wine, there is no one to go out of Yangguan in the west." “
"General Gu is very literate, although Meng Zhuang is a rough man, although he doesn't know the whole meaning, but he can also understand the general meaning, this poem expresses the feelings of friends, the pain of parting. ”
Meng Zhuang nodded constantly when he heard this, and hurriedly said.
He casually chanted a few words, which made Brother Meng smile. After Gu Hui finished speaking, he lowered his head and stopped looking at the upstairs of Yangguan City.
Meng Zhuang smiled, and was about to say something more, seeing Gu Hui holding down the cloud head, staring intently at the two men and women in chivalrous costumes standing on the tower of Yangguan City, he couldn't help but shake his head and said bitterly: "After General Kong led the soldiers to repel the Turks approaching Yangguan City, these two people appeared there, and this stop is a few days.
The soldiers persuaded them to leave, but they did not bother with the original one. “
When you arrive at Yangguan City, go west, pass through the Liangjie Mountain, and it is the snake stream. But at this time, Gu Hui was indeed attracted by a man and a woman standing on the city, holding down the cloud head, refusing to go, Meng Zhuang was secretly anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to urge, so he had to let him.
Above the clouds, Gu Hui had seen a man and a woman below clearly.
The man is about thirty years old, wearing a brown chivalrous robe, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, quite extraordinary, but his face looks a little cangsang, holding an ancient sword, standing proudly.
On the opposite side, a woman in red stood with a sword, the woman's beauty was like a fairy, and a pair of beauties stared deeply at the sword-hugging warrior, refusing to move away.
"If you kind of you're going to kiss me. ”
A soft voice sounded in Gu Hui's ears, Gu Hui was stunned, knowing that it was the two people below who were talking, so he held his breath and listened.
The voice full of grievances came to his ears, which made Gu stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Meng Zhuang on the side saw Gu Hui's slightly frowning brows, he didn't know what was going on, and he hurriedly lowered his head to look at the two people on the city tower.
In Meng Zhuang's ears, there was no sound except for the whistling sound of wind and sand.
"I'm such a dignified sunset warrior, isn't it too shameless to kiss when I say I'm close?"
The sunset warrior stood with his sword in his hands, unmoved, and said with a cold snort.
"If you don't kiss me, I'll die to show you. “
The beautiful face of the woman in red showed a hint of gloom, her beautiful eyes flashed with tears, and she pulled out the long sword in her hand with a "choking" and put it on her neck.
"Why are you so troubled? “
The sunset warrior sighed and looked up at the sky.
At this time, the city tower of Yangguan was full of people, looking at the two people standing on the city.
"Kiss one, kiss one, kiss one. “
I don't know who got mixed up in the crowd and shouted this slogan, and many people stood upright with their fists and shouted.
Seeing that the sunset warrior was moved, the long sword in the woman in red flashed coldly, and it entered the flesh for a few minutes, and blood flowed down the sword body.
"This sunset warrior is so cold-blooded, looking at this woman's eyes full of grievances, it is clear that she is deeply rooted in love, if she only asks for a kiss, why is it wrong? Can't you satisfy her?"
Looking at the arrogant sunset warrior below, Gu Hui stomped his feet above the clouds and cursed.
