Feng Ling reluctantly wrenched his fingers in each other, and said as clearly as possible: "When I came from the south, just after Guazhou, I bumped into Ashina Helu who was fighting with the bandits for business, and he saw the white silk in my bag, how could there be any reason not to rob it, and it was thanks to Captain Yandu who rushed to his post to help. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After that, I met again at the edge of the public office outside the city, and I was going to report to the official, but he threatened the peasants in the field, and if I shouted, he would cut down those peasants, I, I ...... I had to pretend that I had never met and fled back to the city. ”

Kang Dazhi spread the golden hairpin and note in his hand, "How do you say this?" Could it be that he thanked you for not reporting to the official? ”

Now Feng Ling didn't care about his shyness, and replied truthfully: "The time I met in the field of the princess, he, he mentioned it for no reason...... Follow him to the western frontier, the scoundrel is the extreme. ”

These words shocked Mi Shi on the side so that he couldn't speak, and only covered his mouth so as not to make himself exclaim.

Kang Dazhi lowered his eyes and was silent in thought, and secretly screamed in his heart.

If it is a tribe that has already returned to the Tang Dynasty, or has some friendship with him, and is willing to promise the position of Kedun, this may not be a good fate, he can still go to the same parents to talk about it, but now it is the king of Hades on this silk trading road, and the court is ruthless to exterminate it......

"Brother...... Feng Ling grabbed the corner of his robe tightly and asked guiltily, "I...... But did you get into trouble? ”

Kang Dazhi came back to his senses and comforted him softly, "Don't think nonsense, how can this be your fault." ”

He tapped the wind spirit on the shoulder a few times, raised his hand and brought the crumpled note close to the candle flame, watched it ignite, and hid the golden hairpin in his arms. "Remember my brother's words, there has never been such a thing, I don't know Ashina Helu, I haven't seen this deer-shaped golden hairpin, you are just a merchant, and you have to go back to Jiangnan after selling the inventory in the warehouse."

Feng Ling was stunned, the suffocation in her chest seemed to be ignited by sparks, her anger rose, and the previous fear burned away, she twisted her shoulders and moved away from under Kang Dazhi's palm, "Feng Ling will never run away because of this, it is clear that he Ashina Helu is arrogant and unreasonable, why do you want me to abandon my family business and avoid it?" I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, stepping on the king's land under my feet, living in peace and guarding myself, what am I afraid of? ”

"That's not what I said, Feng Ling, you listen to Brother A's advice, and avoid it in the south......" Kang Dazhi lowered his hand weakly, knowing in his heart that she had made up her mind that persuasion was also in vain.

Sure enough, Feng Ling lowered his head, and said softly but categorically: "Brother doesn't need to persuade again, Feng Ling will never leave Dunhuang City." If He Luqiang wants to be entangled, it will be a big deal to follow Mulan, disguise himself as an army, and serve the Tang Dynasty. ”

Kang Dazhi stood by the fire cage in a muffled voice, staring at the ten thousand bats flowing cloud pattern on the copper cover, and after a long time, he helplessly reached out and rubbed the curly hair on his cheeks: "Since you insist on this, Brother Ah can't persuade him, just one case, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't hide, let Brother know as soon as possible, and I can refer to it for you." ”

The wind spirit was still angry, and he said "um" lightly, which was considered to be the answer.

"Also, your Martian temper at this point can be restrained outside." He tilted his head, looked at Feng Ling's tense face by the candle flame, the curled beard on his lips moved slightly, and he sighed half-smilingly, "What kind of parents indulge their daughters like this, your temperament is all used to being righteous parents." ”

At the mention of Daddy and Auntie, Feng Ling's heart moved, and he hurriedly said to Kang Dazhi: "I hope that Brother Mo will mention it to Daddy and Auntie." If Daddy wants to know, he has to come from Yuhang, he is already in the year of the sixtieth year, how can he trek. ”

Kang Dazhi nodded: "That's nature. ”

Feng Ling suddenly looked at the courtyard outside the house: "Someone is coming." Before the words fell, the chaotic footsteps came, and someone shouted loudly while running: "Ah Lang! Alang! The Turks retreated! ”

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, Kang Dazhi sat back in the high chair, Mi wiped the tears from his face, and hurriedly folded his hands and chanted the Buddha in a trembling voice.

It was the second half of the night, and it was estimated that the fourth watch had passed, and Feng Ling was thinking about her servants and maids, who had retreated from the Turks, and she couldn't sit still, so she got up and led Ah Mi to say goodbye and go home.

Out of Yongning Fang, Feng Ling poked out of the car, the cold air of the cold night relieved her irritable heart a little, so she wrapped the red fox hair, jumped out of the car, and told the coachman to take Ah Qi back to Anpingfang first, and walk home slowly on the street alone.

Walking a few steps along the main road in the city, I saw several government soldiers trotting by, probably all withdrawn from the entrances of the squares. Dunhuang City in the New Year Festival was originally not a curfew, tonight because of this incident, the whole city was on alert, closed the door to prevent the people from moving around at will, at this time repelled the Turks, only to remove martial law.

The wind spirit walked silently for a while, and the dry cold of the winter night made her whole person shrink into the big hair, except for the cold night and the cold wind, there was another coolness in her heart.

Since I can remember, I have followed my father and mother to do business, walking around, hearing and seeing, and I think I have a lot of knowledge, and I have practiced for ten years.

I thought that it would be easy to lead a caravan and take care of a shop, at least it wouldn't be a difficult task, but things were not what she thought at all.

Before entering Dunhuang City, he almost lost his goods and lost his life, and when he entered the city, he gradually felt that the danger in the city was even worse.

There are local clans led by Suo Shi in the city, salivating and waiting to carve up and deduct the profits of the merchants, and the Turkic remnants and rogues outside the city are entrenched in the trade road, eyeing each other, not to mention people and goods, and even the entire city wants to be devoured together.

Forced both inside and outside, it goes without saying hardships.

and then secretly helped to delay the recovery of the Gongqi field, although he got some benefits from it, but one day if Suo Shi knew about it, how could she be allowed to be at ease.

On the other hand, if he learned of Ashina Helu's connection with her, even if she was able to speak well and sort out the original situation to him, he might not believe it.

The wind spirit only felt that he had jumped into a pit of beast hunting, with a man-eating tiger on it and a sharp blade below, unable to go up and down, and was in a dilemma.

At this time, I calmed down and calculated carefully, I really resented myself for being conceited and smart, wanting to get a dip in everything, anxious to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions trade route, not knowing how to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but also eager for quick success, and in the end I only ended up in a cocoon and tired.

She thought about her own situation, and remembered the original intention of leaving home and coming to the border city, and what she had thought about was just to earn more money for herself, so that she could live freely, but at the moment, this seemingly simple hope seemed to be far, far away from her, and it was unattainable.

It's not good to say, in the future, I really have to put on a robe, pretend to be a man, and fight on the battlefield.

In the end, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, self-blame, grievances, and discouragement came up together, and she felt that her heart was sore, and there was no one around, so she simply squatted on the side of the road in the dark, buried her head in her knees, and cried to herself.

At first, he was whimpering and suppressing his throat, but as soon as these tears came, he touched the sad place, whimpered a few times, and then simply cried out.

After about half a pillar of incense, the sound of neat and sonorous footsteps, the sound of iron tools colliding and the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, came by on their own, interrupting her tears.

Feng Ling was afraid that people would see him, so he hurriedly stood up and moved his numb and sore legs, raised his sleeves and wiped his face twice, wrapped his big hair tightly, and walked quickly towards Anpingfang.

After a while, there was a fire on the main road, and the soldiers who had just retreated from the city gate came in a queue, and after a fight, there was a faint smell of iron and blood intertwined in the procession, and some wounded soldiers walked slowly under the support of the left and right, and the damaged armor clanged.

The soldiers couldn't help but look at her curiously when they passed by, but because of strict military discipline, no one dared to come forward to disturb her. She buried her head lower, quickening her pace so that she could not see them.

She walked in the opposite direction of the formation, and walked for a while as if she were nearing the end of the group, when suddenly the sound of horses' hoofs sounded behind her, and two horses came coming at her.

"Gu Niangzi." The sound of horses' hooves stopped abruptly behind her, and what called her was the calm Heluo official voice.

Feng Ling stopped, expecting to interrogate her why she was walking around the city alone late at night, she sniffed, tried to stabilize her mind, slowly turned around, and bowed to the horse's armor: "He Duwei is a great victory." ”

The words of interrogating her late night alone were already on her lips, and at first hearing her voice tremble slightly, as if she was frightened and cold, and she somehow swallowed back the question.

Han Meng beside him raised the torch forward, and after finishing his salute, he hurriedly glanced up.

After a while, I saw that her always hippie smiling expression was completely gone, with sorrow condensed between her eyebrows and eyes, a few tear stains on her face, and a few residual tears, which became an abrupt red mark on her face when the cold wind blew.

"When this is in danger, it is not appropriate for Gu Niangzi to walk alone at night, but you have to order someone to send it back?" Fu Yan looked away from her face and asked lightly, without concern or cross-examination.

Feng Ling knew that his face was not very good-looking, so he spread out his palm and wiped his cold and sore face, and said embarrassedly: "Thank you, Captain, Feng Ling's house is not far from here, and you can reach it after a few steps, and the soldiers have just resisted the enemy to defend the city, and they are very hard, so they really don't dare to work." ”

Without waiting for a delayed response, she hurriedly saluted again, turned around and walked away quickly, and walked to Anpingfang in one go.

When she stepped into the gate of Anpingfang, a fish belly was showing white in the distant sky.

She slowed down her steps, looked at it for a while, and thought indiscriminately: Maybe spring is about to begin, and the sky is early. After the spring thaw, the Xizhou merchants who had survived the winter did not know how much brocade silk they had to buy, and they were busy for a while. Xizhou Merchant ...... Speaking of Xizhou, the Anxi Protectorate has been guarding the Western Regions for several years, and it is time to take a look at how Xizhou is compared to the present day......

After such a fugue, her heart suddenly widened, and she whispered to herself: "Yesterday has passed, why hesitate, after dawn, the aunt of the Gu family is a down-to-earth businessman, focusing on making a living, only for profit." ”

The eighteenth year of Zhenguan slowly came with the thin light gradually opening in the east.
