There are all kinds of beast skins hanging in the big tent, which shows the courage of the master here, but the people in the tent have no time to pay attention at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Tianqi asked Yuan Jieliang, "This brother, didn't you and your father enlist in the army?" How did you get here? ”
Yuan Jieliang looked around at everyone, wiped his tears, and said with tears: "Don't hide it from you, my father and I did join the Tang Army, but it was not voluntary, only because the commander apportioned the number of conscripts, we had no choice but to join the army." But soon the border was tight, and my father and I went to the border with me. ”
You speak slowly. Hold your horses. Li Tianqi said.
"Hmm." Yuan Jieliang choked up for a moment, and continued: "In a small friction, my father and I were sent out to inspect a fortification outside the fortress at night, but we encountered an ambush of the Turks on the way. At the beginning, we also tried to escape, but we couldn't succeed, and we almost became the ghost of the saber. ”
When he said this, Yuan Jieliang's eyes flashed with a look of panic, and it seemed that that experience had indeed left an indelible mark on him.
He continued: "But fortunately, my father cooked a good dish, and the general was quite fond of our culture, so he kept me and my father, perhaps I had some talent, and during my stay here, I soon became familiar with the Turkic language. Sometimes I acted as a translator, and over time, Ashnajiemo asked me to go out on missions with the army from time to time. ”
"I see, no wonder you speak the Central Plains dialect so fluently." Li Tianqi said.
Yuan Jieliang said: "This may be the will of heaven." However, my father and I always wanted to return to China. It's just that there's no way. The three men who escaped this morning were also from my court, and I had secretly communicated with them, and they had talked about what they were called to a young general...... Poplar...... Yang is a general who has guarded the frontier. ”
Li Tianqi's heart moved, isn't it Yang Wen? So he said: "The general Yang you are talking about, is the surname Yang Mingwen?" ”
Yang ...... Wen? Yes, yes, that's right, it's him, a subordinate of General Yang Wenyang. Yuan Jieliang nodded again and again.
Li Tianqi thought to himself, it turned out to be Yang Wen's subordinates, there is another story here, it seems that he did save the right one, but they were tied up outside, and they still had to try their best to rescue them.
Yuan Jieliang said: "Ashina Jiemo is cunning and suspicious by nature, and he is ruthless, he will not let go of daring to disobey his will, since the hero is ......"
"Since we dare to come here, we are not at the mercy of others. You can rest assured. Li Tianqi suddenly remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet, so he said: "By the way, Brother Jieliang should no longer be called heroic, my surname is Li, and my name is Tianqi." The son next to me is the son of Yunshan, over there is Lu Linlang and Miss Lu, and the opposite is the Eshang brothers. ”
He introduced Yuan Jieliang one by one, Yuan Jieliang hurriedly bowed and hugged his fists to salute, and everyone hugged their fists to salute in return.
Yuan Jieliang said: "Brother Tianqi, Brother Eshang, Yunshan Gongzi and Miss Lu, thank you so much. ”
Lin Yixian asked him, "Don't thank us yet, what kind of place is this?" There are so many people gathered here. “
Yuan Jieliang said: "This is Tiger Claw Beach, said to be Tiger Claw Beach, but it is not actually a beach, but the green grassland at the foot of several mountains is stretched together, it looks like a beach, and those mountains look like a tiger claw from a distance, so it is named Tiger Claw Beach." This place is not easy to hide, if you are trapped here, you need to plan if you want to escape, otherwise it will be difficult to escape from the tiger's claws. ”
Li Tianqi remembered the treetops of the forest he saw in the northeast, so he asked: "Jieliang, when I entered the camp, I saw that there seemed to be a forest in the northeast, didn't it?" ”
Yuan Jieliang said: "That's right, it is indeed a forest, and it is extremely dense, but it is under a cliff, about dozens of zhang high, I have gone out to explore under the pretext, but found that it is impossible to go down from here, so I have to give up." ”
Eshang asked: "It seems that there is indeed this forest, and I have some impressions, but if it is really a cliff dozens of feet high, wouldn't the trees in that forest be very high?" ”
Yuan Jieliang said: "Yes, it is a spruce forest, and only seven or eight people can surround one tree, which is several zhang above the cliff face, but the nearest distance between the forest and the cliff is still six or seven zhang, and we can't get close at all." ”
Lu Linlang said: "With my current ability, I can still leap through the distance of five zhang, and if it is farther, it can be ......."
Eshang said: "It's okay, I can help you, I'll throw you out with both hands, and if you borrow any more strength, you should be able to rush to the treetops." ”
"Hmm." Lu Linlang nodded.
The tears on Yuan Jieliang's face had not been completely erased, revealing an excited look, "Really? I didn't expect Miss Lu's skills to be so high, and Brother Eshang is also extremely powerful, so in this case, you can build a rope bridge......"
Miss Lu smiled slightly.
E Shang looked at Lu Linlang and touched the back of his head embarrassedly.
Li Tianqi said: "Okay, then we are preliminarily determined. If you can escape, you choose to go down from the treetops. But for now, let's get to know the warriors we'll be up against. ”
Yuan Jieliang said: "Yes, I actually forgot about them for a while. ”
Ozan asked, "Who will they send to fight us?" ”
Yuan Jieliang shook his head and said, "I don't know this." ”
"Then ......," Eshang asked, "some guys who are more than a foot tall, what are they coming from?" ”
Yuan Jieliang said: "They seem to come from a place further north, and they should live next to the barbarians. ”
Li Tianqi said: "It seems that the Turkic hand is stretched out. ”
Eshang looked at the wine and food on the table, which were still steaming hot on the charcoal stove, and he was already very hungry, and now that the matter of discussion was over, he couldn't help but move his index fingers.
He said: "The guy has already said that we will eat first, and besides, we have not closed our eyes for a day and night, and if we don't eat something, we will be hungry and tired." ”
Li Tianqi said: "Well, that's right. In that case, let's not make these false courtesies, and fill our stomachs. ”
Eshang stretched out his hand and tore off a leg of mutton, and was about to feast, but heard Lu Linlang's voice to stop him.
"Wait!" Lu Linlang stopped everyone's movements, she took off the hairpin from her head and tried the food in front of her.
Yuan Jieliang had already walked back to his seat and sat down, he saw Lu Linlang's actions, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, everyone, these are all made by my father himself, and they will not be poisoned." ”
"Hey......" Eshang said, "You can't say that, although these dishes are made by your father, but it is the other attendants who come from the plate, or Miss Lu does it right, it is always good to be careful." ”
Yuan Jieliang seems to be still unsophisticated, so he naturally doesn't know the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, he just simply thinks that his father will not poison the wine and food, so naturally this dish is not poisonous.
Lu Linlang tried the wine and food in front of him one by one, and the silver hairpin did not change color.
Li Tianqi asked, "Is there any poison?" ”
Lu Linlang shook his head and said, "The silver hairpin has no reaction, it should be non-toxic." I just tried my own, and if he was going to poison him, everyone would do it, except mine. ”
Eshang said: "Miss Lu's analysis is, I'll see it's eaten." I'm so hungry. ”
Li Tianqi said: "Then we are welcome." Eat quickly, then take a short break to prepare for the battle. ”
Before Li Tianqi finished speaking, E had already opened his bow left and right, drank wine and ate meat.
Everyone has not eaten a drop of water all day and night, and now the feeling of eating a hot meal is really wonderful, and there is nothing to say for a while, only the sound of chewing food.
Yuan Jieliang also ate very energetically, it seems that he is also stained with everyone's light, so he can eat such a good dish, so he also eats it heartily.
After eating for a long time, Li Tianqi, E Shang and Yuan Jieliang were all swept away in front of the fish, meat, wine and food, and Lin Yixian and Lu Linlang were girls after all, and they ate a small amount, so there was still most of them left.
Eshang smiled: "I didn't expect the prince of Yunshan to be so enduring, he was hungry for a day and night, and he ate so much like Miss Lu." ”
Lin Yixian smiled and said: "I'm full, I'm not used to this too much wine and meat." ”
Although Ashina Jiemo asked Yuan Da to cook the dishes according to the ordinary dishes of the Central Plains, most of the ingredients are beef and mutton, etc., and Lin Yixian is a rich man, although he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, he still has a certain taste for dishes, so it is no wonder that Lin Yixian is a little unaccustomed to it. However, this layer is not yet clear.
After eating and drinking, everyone meditates on the spot and begins to breathe and rest.
Yuan Jieliang couldn't be disturbed, so he could only sit quietly on the side.
After another hour of hot tea, the sound of several fast horses approaching came from outside the big tent, and after a while, the footsteps of several people dismounted and approached were heard.
Sure enough, from the door of the large tent that was rolled up by the guards, Ashina Jemo could be seen walking in with the six personal attendants.
Seeing that the people inside had basically eaten all the food, he inadvertently showed a hint of a smile, but it was quickly covered by his fierce face, "You seem to have eaten enough, so come out with me." After that, he did not stay in the tent, but walked out of the tent again.
Li Tianqi and the others slowly stood up, tidied up their clothes, and walked out.
The three were still tied to the stake, and there were many mosquitoes and flies at the wounds, but they had no intention of moving, and waited weakly with their heads drooped.
After all, they are compatriots of the same race, and Li Tianqi couldn't help but secretly clench his fists when he saw this scene.
They had followed Ashina Jemo to the school yard here, standing on the side, and Ashina Jemo seemed to have something to say, and had already stepped into the center of the school yard more than ten zhang away.
The school grounds were surrounded by a group of Turkic soldiers.
