There was not much personal interaction between Han Jie and Huangfu Sisi, and every time Han Jie stood quietly behind Gu Qing, watching Gu Qing be single again and again with his strong strength.

But Han Jie was still a little wary of Huangfu Sisi, because Hou Ye said that this woman was a little suspicious, what Hou Ye said must be right, Hou Ye said that she was suspicious, and Han Jie always treated her with a defensive attitude.

It's just that today Huangfu Sisi actually found a garrison camp, which surprised Han Jie.

Outside the rough and solemn camp, a charming woman stands like a peony blooming alone on a thousand miles of wasteland, and the picture is quite poignant.

Huangfu Sisi smiled and bowed to Han Jie, and then said with a smile: "Master Hou hasn't come to the inn for five days to eat, do you think my food is not delicious?" ”

The corners of Han Jie's mouth twitched, and he smiled politely, and said, "Master Hou is busy with military affairs and has no time to enter the city, so forgive me, girl." ”

Huangfu blinked and said, "What should the Hou Ye do when he eats?" What has he eaten these days? ”

"Roast the meat yourself, or the guys in the army cook the meals and send them to the handsome tent."

Huangfu Sisi chuckled and said: "Since the Hou Ye does not dislike the food made by the concubine, the concubine can send the food to the camp every day in the future, it is not troublesome, how can the Hou Ye be such a picky person, how can he eat the food in the army." ”

Han Jie snorted and said, "Thank you, girl." ”

Huangfu Sisi handed over the food box he brought, and said with a smile: "Please ask General Han to bring it to Hou Ye, I made it myself, and it's still hot, I'll bring food again in the evening, and I'm tired of General Han going out of the camp to pick it up, okay?" ”

The first URL

The corners of Han Jie's mouth finally had a little smile, and he nodded: "The girl has a heart." ”

Huangfu Sisi sighed and said resentfully: "What's the use of having a heart? How could I have ...... in that wood?"

"The gold and stone are opened, and the girl will be blessed in the end."

Huangfu Sisi snorted and said, "Has Master Hou been busy lately?" He didn't even have time to enter the city, and the army had gone out to suppress the bandits, so what could he do if he stayed in the camp? ”

Han Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Hou is most upset now that he can't find the whereabouts of the clansmen surnamed Zhaowu Jiu. ”

Huangfu Sisi frowned: "The clansman surnamed Zhaowu Jiu? It used to be everywhere, and there were a lot of them in Qiuzi City, what did Hou Ye do with the clansmen surnamed Zhaowujiu? ”

"The surname Zhaowu Jiu is good at business, and there is a shortage of talents around Hou Ye, so he wants to collect his heart and accept it for his own use."

Huangfu Sisi sighed: "After Gao Jieshuai destroyed the Shi Kingdom, it is difficult to find the surname of Zhaowu Jiu, and the clansmen have fled from the Western Regions, even if there are a few who are unwilling to leave their homeland, they are now incognito in the cities of the Western Regions, and it is difficult to find traces." ”

Han Jie shook his head with a wry smile, didn't say anything, and after saying goodbye to Huangfu Sisi, he took the food box and entered the camp.

Huangfu Sisi was still standing outside the gate, staring at the white handsome tent in the depths of the camp in a daze, for a long time, he bit his lower lip and turned to leave.

…………

The person who runs the inn has a strength that ordinary people can't match, that is, he has a wide range of contacts.

The inn is to usher in the business of sending to, the business of the inn is a lot of traffic every day, those guests from all over the world, as long as the vision is good enough, selectively to make friends, after all, it will give people some surprises.

Huangfu Sisi also has a wide range of contacts, she has run an inn in Qiuzi City for many years, from an ignorant and simple little girl, to a spicy female shopkeeper with long sleeves and good dancing, she has experienced a lot of people and things over the years, and she knows far more guests than Gu Qing imagined.

After returning to the inn from the camp, Huangfu Sisi sat alone in the room for a long time, and it was already evening when he came out of the room.

Dressed in black, covered with a black veil, and put on a hat, he quietly walked out of the inn and walked towards a group of low houses to the west.

The dwelling group is the place where Wang Gui and the marksman enemy fought desperately last time, and Huangfu Sisi turned left and right after entering the dwelling, and I don't know how many dark alleys he passed through, and came to a low house made of stone.

There was no light in the low house, the gate was closed, and the courtyard was a bleak and dilapidated scene.

Huangfu pondered and stepped forward to knock on the door.

After knocking for a long time without moving, this room looks like a haunted house that has been abandoned for many years, and the silence and dilapidation are a little weird.

Huangfu Sisi did not give up, and still knocked on the door unhurriedly, as if he was sure that there was someone inside.

After knocking for a long time, Huangfu Sisi became a little impatient, and said coldly: "I know you are inside, come out with confidence, now the Lord of Anxi is no longer Gao Xianzhi." ”

There was still no movement inside.

Huangfu Sisi's voice was a little louder, and he said, "Don't make a noise anymore, I can call people!" ”

There was finally a sound in the door, and in the ugly creak, the door was quietly opened, and a pair of cold eyes stared at her in the crack of the door.

Huangfu Sisi unceremoniously pushed the door open, pushing the people inside to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

After entering the door, Huang Fu Sisi lit the only oil lamp in the room, and in the dim light, she dragged a futon and threw it on the ground, and then sat down cross-legged unceremoniously.

In the room was a middle-aged man, about thirty years old, with his withered hair disheveled, ragged and skinny, with only a pair of eyes full of unyielding will, as if his life had been condensed in his eyes, and his life was difficult, but there was still a breath.

"Miss Huangfu, let's say that we won't offend each other, what are you doing here?" The man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a rat in the gutter gnawing at iron bars.

Huangfu Sisi sneered: "What an ungrateful thing, back then, you were chased and killed by Gao Xianzhi's department, and there was no place for you in the entire Western Regions, just count you as the smartest, you actually dared to hide on the ground of the Anxi Protectorate, back then you were penniless and didn't dare to show your face, who secretly helped you, who helped you escape the pursuit of the government?" ”

The man was silent for a long time, and said, "I am still grateful to the Huangfu girl for her kindness back then, but I am afraid that the girl will be affected......"

Huangfu thought about it: "I'm not afraid of being involved, and as I just said, the Anxi Protectorate has changed now, Gao Xianzhi is jealous of the Son of Heaven, and his power has been lost, and he will be transferred back to Chang'an in the near future, and now the Lord of Anxi is a young man, much better than Gao Xianzhi." ”

The man sneered, and his eyes flashed with hatred: "What about Anxi's change of master?" The Tang people are all untrustworthy and moral, no matter who they change, I will not believe it. ”

Huangfu Sisi's expression gradually softened, and he said in a low voice: "I know that the Tang Army has an enmity against you for destroying the country and breaking the family, what Gao Xianzhi did is indeed contrary to morality, and the Son of Heaven in Chang'an is also aware of it, so he will send another virtuous minister to replace him, the court of the Tang Dynasty is correcting the mistakes made by Gao Xianzhi, and your hatred cannot be extended to the new Lord of Anxi." ”

The man sneered gloomily: "The Chang'an Imperial Court lightly exposed this deep hatred with a word of 'correction'? Should I bow down to Chang'an to express my gratitude? ”

Huangfu Sisi's tone became cold: "If you have the heart of revenge, why are you still hiding in this dark place and dare not move?" The new lord of Anxi is different from Gao Xianzhi, he wants to repair the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the surname Zhaowu Jiu, he wants to reuse the clansmen surnamed Zhaowu Jiu, the murderer who destroyed the country and broke the family is Gao Xianzhi, there is a debtor and a master, if you want revenge, you can go to find him, what do you have to do with others? ”

The man's face was frosty and he said, "You keep speaking for the new lord of Anxi, are you his lobbyist and serve him?" ”

Huangfu Sisi sighed: "It's too hard to talk to you people who have hatred in the bone marrow, and it's not right to say anything......

Looking at the man, Huangfu Sisi said in a low voice: "This time and that time, Anxi is different now, you can go out for a walk and see the new atmosphere of Qiuci City, the new lord of Anxi has the talent to govern the country and the country, Qiuci City is very different from before, go out and have a look, listen to what the people in the city say about him, and then you think about what I just said." ”

"I can't persuade you to let go of your hatred, but I advise you to accept his kindness, the object of your hatred has nothing to do with him, the two things can't be confused, not everyone in Datang is a bad person, and the hatred I bear is not lighter than yours, but I am still willing to live in the sun."

The man said coldly: "If the girl has nothing else to do, please leave." ”

Huangfu Sisi sighed, took out a piece of silver cake of about ten taels from his arms, gently rested it on the table, and then turned to leave.

…………

The sun sets in the desert, and the wind and sand cover the sky.

After Shen Tian led 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Khotanese army to leave Qiuzi, he walked in the desert for more than ten days.

The climate of the desert in winter is very harsh, the wind and sand are mixed with the cold wind, like a knife across the body and face, every moment of the march has to endure the pain of thousands of arrows piercing the heart, if you are unlucky, you will encounter sandstorms, whether you live or die can only depend on the will of God.

Shen Tian's department just passed through a sandstorm yesterday, the team lost dozens of people, and a lot of food and drinking water were lost, after liquidating the remaining food and drinking water, Shen Tian was a little anxious, and the army guide estimated the direction, pointed to the east and said that hundreds of miles forward is Yangguan, and the soldiers can enter Yangguan to replenish food and drinking water.

"Yangguan" means the south of Yumen Pass, the south is called "Yang", so it is called "Yangguan", a famous poem says "persuade the gentleman to have a glass of wine, and there is no reason for Yangguan to go out of the west", which is this Yangguan.

Yangguan is a military and civilian pass set up from the Han Dynasty, used to defend against the northern Xiongnu and merchant supply station, Shen Tian Department from Qiuci City to the east, unconsciously has almost arrived at Yumen Pass.

Unfortunately, no bandits were encountered along the way, and the scouts sent out countless times, but still did not find any trace of the bandits.

Food and drinking water were in short supply, Shen Tian ordered a hurried march to Chaoyang Pass, and on the third day, when the team was getting closer and closer to Yangguan, a scout hurriedly rode his horse and reported a piece of news.

In the depths of the desert thirty miles west of Yangguan, the scouts found a force of 1,000 soldiers and horses, their clothes were disheveled, and their weapons were different, hiding in the leeward of the sand dunes to rest, and their origins were quite suspicious.

Shen Tian convened the generals to discuss for a long time, and then Shen Tian clenched his fists heavily and said coldly: "No matter what the way you come from, you will know it after a fight, and it is better to kill the wrong person than to let it go!" ”

"Order, the whole army is ready for battle!"
