It's really stupid, and exposing the guard's actions is not only useless, but it is equivalent to forcing the guard to kill himself, otherwise once it leaks out, it will be a big crime for the three clans!

Xiao Siye regretted it in his heart and pondered a way to get out.

Now the guard is estimated to have been made dizzy by the Turks who entered the customs and forgot about himself for a while, and when he remembered himself, he must have sent someone to put him to death and kill him.

He also held great power in Dingxiang City, and understood that in a place under military control such as the frontier, the orders of the generals were like holy decrees, and the commanders had orders, and their subordinates would not hesitate to carry them out. It's not too simple to kill a handful of people in the chaotic realm, and after the fact, push it on the Hu clan or horse bandits, and there is no proof of death and no flaws.

How can a dignified Xiao family disciple die here with grievances?

The strong desire to survive made Xiao Siye lift his spirits, endure the pain all over his body, and move to the window like a long worm, where there is an angular stone......

It wasn't until both wrists were ground down with blood that the hemp rope that bound the wrists was broken.

His hands trembled as he untied the ropes on his feet, sweating profusely in pain.

Taking a breath, he stood up and moved his numb hands and feet, and then leaned over to the broken window, following the tattered window paper to observe the situation outside.

A soldier with a knife hilt in his hand was guarding the door, and there was a mess in the distance, there were Tang soldiers, Turkic women and children, and herds of cattle, sheep and livestock......

After thinking about it, Xiao Siye lifted a kick on a pillar in the house, made a "bang", and then dodged and hid at the door.

The soldiers outside the house were very alert, and when they heard the sound, they immediately drew their waist knives, pushed the door and walked in.

Xiao Siye behind the door swooped down and strangled his neck from the back arm, clenched his other hand into a fist, and hammered it the soldier's temple, and at the same time hooked one foot to close the door.

His punch was very powerful, and it hit the temple and other vital parts, the soldier snorted, and suddenly fainted, and as soon as Xiao Siye let go, he fell to the ground softly.

Lying behind the window and looking outside, no one noticed the movement here, Xiao Siye breathed a sigh of relief, then squatted down, cleaned the soldiers inside and out, and then took off his clothes, put on the soldiers' clothes and leather armor, and finally untied the horizontal knife and hung it on his waist.

packed up, stuffed the soldiers and their clothes into a pile of miscellaneous items under the back gable, clapped his hands, opened the door and walked out.

None of the Tang troops who came and went noticed Xiao Siye who had changed into a soldier's uniform......

Xiao Siye was very relieved, but he knew that he had to leave Yanmen Pass quickly, otherwise it would be a bad thing when the guard remembered that he had sent someone to check.

As a long history of Shan Yu Duhufu, he has lived in Dingxiang City for many years, and he is naturally no stranger to Yanmen Pass, which is also an important border town. Xiao Siye shuttled through the chaotic crowd, turning all the way south, wanting to find a place where the troops were weak and sneak out of the pass, and then return to Chang'an to impeach Fang Jun for making a provocation, and even to expose the face of the Yanmen Pass guard, so that he would have no place to be buried!

However, when he spared most of the day, when the sky was getting dark, he went around to a mountain col, and he only needed to climb over the mountain beam in front of him to break away from the boundary of Yanmen Pass, enter Daijun, and then go all the way to the south, and then he could reach Chang'an.

Xiao Siye hesitated again......

Will you just go back to Chang'an?

What can you do if Fang Jun is impeached?

As the emperor's son-in-law, an important minister of the imperial court, and Fang Xuanling's son, even if he was ordered to apply for punishment or even demoted, Fang Jun is still Fang Jun, and his enmity with him is completely settled, and the family is quite jealous of him, can he live a better life in the future?

Heading to Dingxiang City?

It has been abandoned by Ashina Simo, and it is estimated that at this moment, Xue Yantuo's army and the Tang army have arrived together, what is the use of his own light pole long history?

There is also that guard, even if the imperial court beheads him for treason, or even exterminate the three clans, what can he do?

I am still panicked, like a lost dog......

Xiao Siye looked up at the dark and gloomy sky, the north wind was biting, the dark clouds were like lead drops, the sky and the earth were vast, and there was no place for him to settle down and realize his ambitions......

What to do?

Is it to return to Guanzhong, and from then on be a man with his tail between his legs, trembling to avoid Fang Jun's revenge?

Or ......

Xiao Siye was at war with heaven and man in his heart, angry, sad, unwilling, and fearful...... All kinds of flavors linger in my heart.

After a long time, he looked to the north again.

……

*****

"Sir, the junior has been hurt by you!"

Seeing Zhao Deyan, the guard looked miserable, and when he opened his mouth, he complained.

If he has kindness, he will repay it, this is his way of life, but if he almost made himself a Turkic because of his gratitude, and even put his family into it, he would never do it.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no change in the arrow, he would rather order these Turks to fend for themselves under the pass, and be killed by the Xue Yantuo people one by one, and when he was punished by the emperor and condemned by the court, he also admitted it!

Zhao Deyan looked stunned, rubbed his old waist that was almost bumped, and said strangely: "What does the virtuous nephew mean by this?" ”

The guard general sighed, and said that he was recognized by Xiao Siye after receiving his jade pendant.

Zhao Deyan frowned and said, "Confused! How can you hesitate to make such a big deal? Once Xiao Siye returns to Chang'an, you will have no way to live, and you will have to catch up with the brothers in the family and family! It doesn't matter if he is a child of the Xiao family or a child of the eldest grandson, when he is decided, he will be decided! ”

The guards were sweating a little and still hesitant......

That Xiao Siye is the son of the Xiao family in Lanling, with the prestige of the Xiao family in Jiangnan and Xiao's influence in the court, how could he let himself harm Xiao Siye's life?

If you take this step, there will be no turning back!

Zhao Deyan shook his head and said: "After you kill him, blame a few Turks, and then shoot the Turks on the spot, and then die without proof, what can the Xiao family do to you?" ”

When the guard general heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was a little entangled, then turned his head and said to the cronies beside him: "Do what Mr. arranged!" ”

The cronie didn't know Zhao Deyan, and didn't understand why his general respected and trusted an old Han man who was mixed with the Turks, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately took the order and left in a hurry with a few henchmen.

The two stood at the head of the city, looking at the Tang army and Xue Yantuo's cavalry facing each other in the distance.

The black-pressed Xue Yantuo cavalry filled the flat ground between the mountain beams in the distance, covering the ground like ants from a distance.

The obviously thin Tang Army's 500-person array was like a grain of rice in front of the ant colony, and like a stone before the raging waves, it seemed to be crumbling......

"Is this magnanimity crazy? Over there, the Yinan Khan was discussing peace with His Majesty, but here he brazenly invaded the territory of the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't he be working against the Yinan Khan? ”

The guard looked indignant.

Dadu set up an irrational attack on the Turks, and the Turks came to Yanmen Pass unreasonably, causing him to suffer an inexplicable wrongful injustice in vain......

Zhao Deyan stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

He ran out of oil and dried up, wandered outside the plug for most of his life, and was able to return to his hometown to bury his bones before he died, and finally made up his mind to hit Xue Yantuo for the Tang Dynasty, so that the northern border was stable for more than ten years, although no one knew about this achievement, and he didn't plan to publicize it everywhere, but he was inevitably a little proud in his heart.

As long as the border is quiet, they do not want to forge ahead, and let the Hu people recuperate outside the Sai, and gradually grow stronger, until they are strong enough to a certain extent, and once again invade the Central Plains to burn and loot, and the Han people are forced to resist, and so on.

Of course, this is also related to the lack of horses and the fact that the farming people are not good at horse warfare......

Now the Han people are enterprising, the king is ambitious, the empire is splendid and prosperous, and the army is prosperous, but why are they staring at the broken place of Goguryeo?

In Zhao Deyan's view, a corner of Goguryeo, with neither strategic depth nor sufficient military resources, the land is barren and the climate is bitter cold, it is completely useless, and there is no need to worry about becoming a henchman of the Han people, even if it is strong, it is absolutely impossible to achieve too high development on the side of the couch of the Han dynasty.

This is the case of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in the previous dynasty, the army of millions of mighty and mighty, straight to this useless place, the result of the loss of troops and the morale of the plummet, directly leading to the domestic emptiness and political turmoil, Nuo Da a dynasty, in an instant, fell apart and disappeared.

At present, the Tang Emperor is about to follow in the footsteps of Emperor Yang of Sui, which is embarrassing......

Therefore, Zhao Deyan laid out all this, Xue Yantuo drove straight into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and even more intended to slaughter the allies of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the lord of the northern frontier will have a little bit of courage and vision, and take the initiative to make some contact with Xue Yantuo, even if the emperor is unwilling to fight, this battle must be fought.

It's just that I don't know, at this moment, in Mayi City, which is stationed not far from the north, will Fang Xuanling's son-in-law and the son-in-law of the Tang Emperor make a move, dare to disobey the emperor's will, and give a severe blow to the elite army of Xue Yantuo led by Dadushe?
