When he left the city of Xishou, Li Jinyang's health was obviously much better, and he often opened the window to talk and laugh with Guo Song, he was especially interested in Mengzi, and hinted several times that he was willing to buy Mengzi, but Guo Song smiled and declined.

Guo Song had already guessed that he was a member of the imperial family, but an Anshi Rebellion had torn the dignity of the Tang Dynasty royal family clean, and Du Fu depicted the tragic appearance of the royal family after the destruction of Chang'an City in the poem.

Under the waist Bao Jue green coral, poor Wang Sun weeping at the corner of the road.

He refused to say his name, but he was a slave in his hardship.

So even if he is a royal family, Guo Song doesn't have much awe of him in his heart, in fact, not only Guo Song, but even his entourage like Li An and Wei Ping have respect for Li Jinyang, but it is absolutely impossible to say that he is afraid of Li Jinyang like a tiger, or to say that he is as high as a god.

The Anshi Rebellion completely disrupted the order of respect and inferiority in the Tang Dynasty, and even ordinary old farmers could ride a donkey into the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace and walk a few laps, how much can they expect the people of the Tang Dynasty to have a lot of awe for the royal family?

The reason why Guo Song gave the white wolf skin to Li Jinyang was because he offered 5,000 yuan, the white wolf skin was of little significance to Guo Song himself, and he didn't need it, he wanted to take it to Chang'an and sell it for a good price, since Li Jinyang was willing to buy it at a high price, why didn't Guo Song do it?

As for his mouth saying that he would give the white wolf skin to Li Jinyang, it was just polite, for example, if you like the Hetian seed jade worn by your friend very much, and say that you want to spend money to buy it, your friend will definitely take it down very generously and say that if you like it, you will take it, and you will never talk about money.

Of course, people are just kind words, but don't really think that friends are giving it to you, this is someone implicitly telling you that seed jade is not sold, of course, if it is just a few dozen yuan of things, then it is another matter.

Of course, Guo Song knew that Li Jinyang would not be embarrassed to ask for his own things for nothing, so when Li Jinyang gave him a three-acre mansion as a thank you gift, he also accepted it unceremoniously, and he not only won favors, but also made friends.

A three-acre house is not cheap in Chang'an, especially in the core areas of Pingkangfang and Xuanyangfang, and even more money can't buy a house.

The caravan traveled all the way north, through the Yin Mountains, into the prairie, and spent the night in the morning.

In the afternoon, the group finally arrived at the Hunyi River, which is a clear river, but the river is not long, only more than 500 miles, but the two banks of the river are the most fertile grasslands.

Li An pointed at the river with a horsewhip and said with a smile: "When I see the Hunyi River, I know that it is not far from the Sijie Tooth Tent." ”

The tooth tent is the king tent of the big chief, which is equivalent to the capital of the Sijie tribe, you must know that the Sijie department covers a vast area, with a territory of more than 10,000 miles, and hundreds of small tribes are distributed, and the tooth tent will always be located in the most fertile place of the grassland.

Guo Song saw flocks of sheep in the distance, herdsmen on horseback galloping past, and a dome tent, and the population near the river was indeed denser than elsewhere.

At this moment, there was a continuous and rapid sound of horns faintly in the distance, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, how could there be a horn, could it be that the Great Chief of Sijie knew that they were coming and was ready to meet them?

It was still Li An's experience, his face changed, and he immediately said, "Hurry up and turn around and retreat, go quickly!" ”

"Uncle An, what's going on?" Escort Zheng Wei Ping asked.

"This is the sound of a trumpet indicating an enemy invasion, it is likely that there is a conflict in the north, we will retreat first, and then we will understand the situation."

This was clearly a wise decision, and the convoy immediately turned around and headed south.

Guo Song did not follow the retreat to the south, he turned back to Li An and said, "Uncle An, you guys go first!" I'll go see how it goes. ”

Without waiting for a response, he urged his horse and galloped north.

Li An was in a hurry, and was about to shout, but Li Jinyang stopped him, "Uncle An, let him go!" He'll be fine. ”

Li An was helpless, so he had to watch Guo Song run away.

…………

Guo Song galloped on horseback and ran for more than 20 miles, but saw more than a thousand knights fighting fiercely on the grassland, they were all dressed in the same attire, wearing black leather armor and flame-like headdresses, but one side was draped in a black da, and the other side was a white cloak.

Guo Song's eyes were fixed on the side covered in black hats, that is, they kidnapped Shi Tong.

The Black Samurai were clearly the invaders, and they had the advantage of numbers, and they killed each other in defeat, and the white-cloaked samurai kept blowing their horns.

Guo Song was also dressed in a black samurai suit, and he Pegasus ripped off a white cloak and flame headdress from a battle-dead on the ground, pretending to be the losing side.

A black warrior shouted, and stabbed at Guo Song with a spear, Guo Song dodged to avoid the spear, the two horses staggered, drew the knife and slashed, the knife was as fast as lightning, only to see a flash of cold light, the opponent's head was split by a knife, the bones rolled to the ground, and the headless corpse was also planted and dismounted.

Guo Song had a murderous intention in his heart, he galloped from the side, and went around to the other side of the rear of the black warrior, about a hundred paces away, Guo Song drew a bow and an arrow, and shot an arrow at the leader of the other party from behind.

The leader of the Black Warrior side was a commander-in-chief, wearing a silver headdress and armor on his chest, and was loudly directing his men to surround him.

He never dreamed that a cold arrow would come from behind, this arrow was powerful and extremely fast, 'Poof! A thud shot through the back of his neck, the tip of the arrow peeking through his throat, and the commander shook his body, turned over and fell from his horse.

The leader was shot, and the situation immediately reversed, and the black warriors had no intention of fighting, they turned their horses and fled westward, and in a short time, more than 700 samurai gradually ran away, leaving corpses in a scattered place.

At this time, the white warrior rushed forward, pressed his hand on his chest and bowed, "Thank you for the warriors for their help and protect the leader of the tooth tent!" ”

Guo Song also bowed slightly and said: "Down there are Tang people, following the Tang Dynasty imperial merchant team to the north, coinciding with the battle, a little help, don't be polite!" ”

The leader of the Bai Yu warriors was immediately surprised and delighted, "Is it Li An's caravan?" Where is he? ”

Guo Song pointed to the south, "They are temporarily sheltering in the south!" ”

The leader of the Bai Yu warriors immediately summoned two of his men and asked them to meet the Tang caravan.

At this time, there was a sound of horns from the north, and I saw countless flags appear in the distance, and a black line appeared more than ten miles away. ”

…………

Li An and his entourage were warmly welcomed by the Sijie Department, especially Guo Song, who enjoyed VIP treatment and lived in the Ye Hu tent, which was second only to the king's tent, but Guo Song finally refused, he was really not used to the luxurious life of four girls accompanying him, and even drinking water with a gold and gem cup.

In the afternoon, a man in his thirties walked in, pressed his hand to his chest, bowed to Guo Song and said: "In Xiamu Manhe, it is Meilu under the account of the governor of Saldu, in the words of your Tang people, he is the chief of internal affairs, and he is very willing to serve Guo Gongzi!" ”

Mu Manhe seems to be shrewd and capable, having spent many years in Chang'an and speaking fluent Chinese.

Guo Song invited him to sit down and said to him: "Although I came to Sijie this time to accompany the imperial merchants, in fact, I have other important matters!" ”

"I know, Li An has already told me, it seems that Gongzi is here to ransom people, we have more than 20 Han people here, but the latest Han also arrived last year, and it was not taken captive, it was a blacksmith, and after bringing his family to follow the caravan, he settled down in the Sijie Department, which was last September."

"Two of my friends were taken captive in the southern part of Toyoshu, and there were about thirty cavalrymen who captured him, dressed in black leather armor and flame ornaments, each wearing a black coat."

Mu Manhe nodded, "That's the Absi Division, Childe also saw it, our soldiers all wear white cloaks, and the army of the Absi Division wears black daurpes, the big ones with red edges are centurions, the silver-edged ones are thousands, and the gold-edged ones are 10,000 captains." ”

"It's black with red edges!" Guo Song added.

"That's right, it should be Albus's sentry centurion, usually in a team of thirty people."

Guo Song pondered and asked, "What is the relationship between Albus and Sijie?" ”

Mu Manhe smiled faintly: "Albus, also known as Si Jie, is a branch of Si Jie, we are the first family, they all supervise Albus. Mutter is also the father-in-law of our governor.

But since eight years ago, the two families gradually became hostile, often conflicted, this time the other party took advantage of my family governor to the east to inspect, sent troops to attack the tooth tent, trying to kidnap the governor's wife and children, the tooth tent guards are not much, thanks to the son's timely help, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable, my family governor is grateful. ”

Guo Song's face showed a look of disappointment, it turned out that Shi Tong was taken away by the Absi Department, and it had nothing to do with the Sijie Department.

He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "What is the relationship between Albus and Xue Yantuo?" ”

Mu Manhe said with a look of resentment: "They are allies, it is the Xue Yantuo Ministry that provoked from it, which caused the East and West to split, and the Xue Yantuo Department also promised Albus. Mutter, help them annex the Sijiebu! ”

Guo Song took a few steps with his hands in his hand, then turned around and asked, "Today, Absi sent troops to attack the tooth tent of Sijiebu, is that it?" ”

Mu Manhe shook his head, "Of course we have to retaliate, this time we will completely destroy Absi's tooth tent, and the governor hopes that you can also join the war!" ”

"Why did you think of letting me go to war?"

Guo Song was really puzzled, although he had helped Sijiebu before, he was a Tang man after all, and the wars between the tribes of the grassland generally did not like outsiders to participate.

Mu Manhe sighed and explained: "We have been fighting with the Abs tribe for eight years, and we have been waiting for an opportunity to destroy the tooth tent of Abs, and your arrival has given us hope. ”

"I still don't understand?" Guo Song was even more confused.

Mu Manhe's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he looked at Guo Song and said, "The god worshiped by Abs is a silver wolf, and if you shoot the White Wolf King, you are the divine envoy sent to us by the Immortal Heaven!" ”
