Chapter 5: The Purple Robe (Eight Up)

Although he has gradually become accustomed to fighting on the battlefield, seeing the heads rolling to the ground in front of him, Wang Xun's stomach is also churning. Holding his breath, he tried to keep himself away from the killing, so as not to embarrass himself in front of his old friends.

is also facing the rolling fishy wind, Yu Wenzhi, who was originally much less timid than Wang Xun, did not feel the slightest discomfort. He tilted his head and supervised for a while, seeing that the Abbasids had almost killed the convicted "scum" of his own race. He clamped the horse's belly, came to Wang Xun's side, and greeted the other party with a smile, "Second brother, I didn't expect it to be you!" I thought Zhou Laohu was fooling me again! Why don't you enjoy happiness in Chang'an and run to this place where birds don't? ”

"I, I'm not, isn't that something...... Wang Xun's face was hot, and he didn't know where to start. Yuwen Kid definitely didn't know that he couldn't stay in Chang'an, so he took the initiative to find an opportunity to escort the baggage and came to Feng Changqing. And just half a year ago, he had repeatedly refused to be wooed by the two generals, Feng Changqing and Zhou Xiaofeng.

Fortunately, everyone reunited after a long absence, and Yu Wenzhi didn't have much time to get to the bottom of it. Soon, Li Yuanqin, who had been the head of the gun and stick sect, also stepped forward and bowed his hand to Wang Xun with a smile, "Mingyun, here!" It's okay along the way! ”

"It's okay, it's okay! Blessing to the head of the religion! Wang Xun was amnesty, and quickly turned his head to Li Yuanqin, and returned the salute with a smile, "It's okay to teach the head of the sect." Brothers, it's been a good half a year! ”

"Of course. There was no battle to fight in the past six months. A few of us squatted in the house to recuperate. Can it be bad? Li Yuanqin put down the blood-drenched lance, stretched his arms, and made an exaggerated chest expansion movement. A few days ago, he received the order of the marshal, and Zhou Laohu said it. Mingyun, this kid, should have been a member of our Anxi Army. Look, it's been less than half a year since they separated, and he took the initiative to send it to the door! This time, no matter what, you can't let him go back to Chang'an easily! ”

"Hey, chewing the root of the tongue behind your back is not the work of a manly man!" Before the words fell, Zhou Xiaofeng had already walked over and protested loudly.

Wang Xun laughed, quickly jumped off the mount, and quickly stepped forward to greet Zhou Xiaofeng, thanking the other party for his help by the way. A lot of polite words were said, but only a big white eye was exchanged for the other party.

"Do you still treat me as a brother?" Zhou Xiaofeng rolled his eyelids, his face full of unhappiness, "Take me as a brother, don't talk about fucking nonsense." Don't say that it's you Wang Mingyun, even if it's a stranger, as long as it's me a Tang soldier, I can't watch him being bullied by the barbarians. And I'm not just here to answer you. Sa Yihei, the dog thief, has long hooked up with the big cannibal, and he thought it was seamless. Dashuai never had his hands free to clean him up. No, I'll pick you up this time, just to clean him up by the way! It can be regarded as clearing the portal for our Anxi Army! ”

I see! Wang Xun suddenly realized! No wonder he didn't even need to hear the ins and outs of the conflict between the two sides clearly, so Zhou Laohu made a decisive move. Think about it, this guy usually looks as vulgar as a mountain king who robs houses and robs houses, and he actually does things so well. If you don't move, it's enough, and if you move, it's thunderous. In addition to the more than 1,000 Anxi elites, at least six or seven tribes' servants and soldiers were also mobilized, leaving no room for resistance for the Maxian tribe at all.

"I got a tip yesterday that there are still a few tribes that don't have long eyes, trying to get the attention of the baggage team? What's the matter, you've all cleaned them up yourself? Seeing that Wang Xun no longer said kind words to crooked people, Zhou Xiaofeng patted him on the shoulder again and asked with a smile. Looking at it, it seems that it is natural for Wang Xun to be able to deal with all the difficulties independently, and there is no need for anyone to worry about it at all.

Feeling the strength of the other party's hand, Wang Xun's shoulders involuntarily straightened up, and responded with a smile, "Thanks to the help of the brothers in the Loulan Clan, I defeated the other five tribes who had the idea of carrying heavy baggage yesterday!" A large group of prisoners was also taken. However, if it weren't for Brother Zhou's timely arrival in today's battle, it is estimated that it would be a bit hanging! ”

"I'll just say, my brother Zhou Laohu, how can I not deal with this little trouble!" Zhou Xiaofeng gently pressed Wang Xun's shoulder again, his face full of pride. Kang Zhongxin, what about the old fox, didn't make it difficult for you, did he? ”

The old fox Kang Zhongxin had long wanted to come forward to greet Zhou Xiaofeng, but he never found a suitable opportunity. Suddenly, when he heard the other party mention himself, his old face turned red, and he quickly waved his hand and explained loudly: "I said this." How could I make it difficult for a junior! ”

"Really?" Zhou Xiaofeng squinted at him, and a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Someone has changed his temper?" The baggage is still there, right? Didn't lose or missing something? This is the ordnance that Feng Dashuai personally asked for from the imperial court, if anyone dares to make up his mind, I guarantee that his fate will not be much better than that of Sa Yihei! ”

Rao is full of wisdom, hearing this, the old fox also broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. He is not afraid of directly dealing with Confucian generals like Feng Changqing, because even if the other party is in a high position, he still speaks the word "reason" to some extent. And when you meet Zhou Laohu, a guy who likes to convince people with his strength, and wants to plow the opponent at every turn. No amount of intrigue in the stomach will help. The other party was completely brutal and wrote a "horizontal" word on his face. If you have the ability, you will fight with me, but if you can't fight me, you will be obedient and obedient. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ’

As soon as he saw the old fox like this, Zhou Xiaofeng understood three points in his heart. sneered twice, pouted and said, "There are really people who don't want to die!" What's the matter, the Loulan clan has had stiff wings recently? Even the baggage that is transported to the front has to be taken according to the custom?! ”

"No, no, General Zhou, don't get me wrong!" The old fox Kang Zhongxin was sweating profusely and didn't care about wiping it, and waved his hand to the other party again and again, "General Zhou, don't misunderstand. Who dares to smoke a large army? I was just greedy for the well-armed baggage troops, so I made a little deal with Captain Wang with 1,310 horses, 2,000 sheep, and 40 camels with pure white coats! If you don't believe me, you just ask him? ”

After that, he turned his pleading gaze to Wang Xun, lest the other party refuse to lie to him.

Your old man also has today! Wang Xun snickered in his heart. But he didn't want to let the Loulan people be severely punished by Zhou Xiaofeng because of the interception of baggage. nodded, and said with a smile: "Indeed, they have a life-saving grace for the baggage team, so I agreed to make a deal with them without authorization." If Brother Zhou thinks that the transaction is not cost-effective, I believe that no matter what the price difference is, Kang Lao will quickly take it out of the inventory of the Loulan clan and make up for it. ”

"That's it, it's so!" Kang Zhongxin nodded again and again, swearing to promise. "Neither Captain Wang nor I know the specific market of the ordnance, if General Zhou thinks the price is not suitable, I can compensate at any time."

"A life-saving grace?" Zhou Xiaofeng glared at Wang Xun fiercely, hating the other party's refusal to cooperate with him, "Being entrusted by someone to do a little thing, he will endlessly ask for compensation, is it the eldest husband?" Besides, Captain Wang, are you qualified to dispose of this batch of baggage? Or do you have a lot of extra heads and can ignore the big ** Ji?! ”

"This ....." Wang Xun's face turned red, and he couldn't speak. According to the Great ** Ji, he really does not have any qualifications to trade with the Loulan people with the baggage he escorted. But under the circumstances at that time, he was blinded by the information from the outside world, and if he didn't allow enough benefits from the Loulan people, he didn't know how he could get out safely.

"No, don't blame Captain Wang. If, if General Zhou thinks that the transaction is invalid, I, my department, can return all the ordnance to you! The old fox was ashamed and angry, but he didn't have the courage to risk the lives of the whole clan. While wiping a cold sweat, he muttered and added.

"Why should you return it to them?" As soon as the words fell, a crisp voice sounded from beside him. "If we hadn't arrived in time, the baggage would have been snatched away by others, and they wouldn't even have some soup left! Now that we have eighty percent, why should we let us give back the rest? ”

"Shout?" Zhou Xiaofeng turned his head in accordance with the sound, and just happened to see Miss Xiaoluo's bright eyes, "Where did the little lady come from, she speaks so neatly!" ”

"She, she's me, my niece. There are no rules, which makes the general laugh. The old fox hurriedly pulled Xiao Luo away, and then smiled and apologized to Zhou Xiaofeng. In this way, the general said what's the matter, what's the matter. Loulan did just that. ”

"Whatever he says, he does. What's wrong with the general, the general has to be reasonable! "Except for Wang Xun and others, Xiao Luo has never dealt with a big ** official, so there is no fear in his heart at all. After struggling twice, he shook off Kang Zhongxin's obstruction, took a few steps forward, looked into Zhou Xiaofeng's eyes and said, "Even if my department is sealed, the entrustment of the commander should not ask for compensation." But I saved so many of you, how can I count it? I spent so much energy and herbs to treat their injuries, how can I calculate it? They lived in our department for more than half a month, eating, drinking, and abducting so many of our sisters along the way, how should they count?! Originally, we were supposed to take 20% of the baggage as a reward, and we gave more than 1,000 horses and more than 2,000 sheep. Why do you have a sentence that the transaction is invalid, and it is all due to it?! If what Captain Wang said doesn't count, what you say must count? There is also that Feng Dashuai above, does what he said necessarily count? If there is someone older than him, can you regret it again?! ”

In one breath, she asked five or six questions. The small mouth is like a series of arrows, snapping and talking. Kang Zhongxin and the others had no chance to stop at all, so they had to laugh and wipe their sweat. I thought that there must be a big disaster at this moment, but who expected Zhou Xiaofeng to suddenly smile and smile, "Is what she said the truth?" Mingyun, did you really kidnap other people's sisters?! Turning his head sideways, he asked Wang Xun, whose face was flushed, and his eyes were full of narrowness.

"Basically, basically the truth!" Although he didn't take the opportunity to kidnap a Loulan beauty, Wang Xun's face was still so red that he almost dripped blood, nodded, and muttered in response, "At the beginning, I found out that the sand thieves were impersonated by Hexi soldiers and horses, everyone, everyone thought that they would be trapped in Loulan for the rest of their lives." So, so ......."

"I'm sorry for you!" Zhou Xiaofeng sighed, the smile on his face disappeared, "Remember, it was the sand thieves who intercepted it, not the Hexi Army." Sooner or later, we will settle this account with the 'sand pirates'! ”

The word 'sand thief' was bitten hard by him. With Wang Xun's cleverness, of course, he immediately understood that there were other mysteries behind this. Although he was very unwilling, he had no choice but to nod and repeat in a low voice, "It's a sand thief, I wrote it down." Brother Zhou can rest assured. ”

"There are some things that you can only be confused about before you can figure them out!" Guessing Wang Xun's feelings, Zhou Xiaofeng sighed and explained in a low voice, "Just like I just now, I knew that it was the big cannibal who was making a ghost in it, but I wanted to say that it was the Tubo people." ”

"Hmm!" Whether he understood it or not, Wang Xun could only nod. Just now, he did hear the people brought by Zhou Xiaofeng and the tribal reinforcements who rushed to help from all over the world shouting, "Sa Yihei colluded with Tubo and has been ordered to be killed by the Anxi Daduhu..." I thought it was a slip of the tongue that everyone was anxious about, but who would have thought that it was done on purpose.

After appeasing Wang Xun, Zhou Xiaofeng turned his head to Kang Zhongxin and Xiao Luo again, "This is Xiao Luo girl!" There is a point in what you say. I, Zhou Laohu, have always been willing to reason with others. Well, my brother has kidnapped your sister, and he does need a dowry. Besides, since Captain Wang has promised you, I will no longer pursue the matter of the two weapons. But ......"

"Although the general said, if it can be done, the Loulan Department will definitely not dare to refuse!" Hearing this, the old fox Kang Zhong's confidence was relieved, he arched his hand, and promised with a smiling face.

"But the price at that time was really too low. Therefore, in the future, if you take the Loulan Ancient Road, starting from Yangguan and going all the way to Stone City, all the people and horses under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a caravan or a team that transports baggage to the army, your department shall not take any protection costs! And do everything in your power to ensure the safety of caravans and baggage caravans. Even if the protection is not good for a while, it is better to send someone to report to the garrison of Yanqi and make it clear who did it! ”

"This ......" Kang Zhongxin hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Okay, just according to what the general said!" But, however, the scope of our activities is rarely close to this section of Stone Town. If so......"

Since the opening of the Yiwu Road, there are not many caravans willing to take the Loulan Ancient Road. And most of them are under the banner of big food or other Western countries. Therefore, even if Zhou Xiaofeng's conditions were agreed, in fact, it would not cause any losses to the Loulan people who relied on robbery to replenish tribal resources. However, the task of being responsible for the safety of Datang business travel is a bit difficult for the Loulan Department. First, from Yangguan to Stone Town, not only the Loulan clan was active, but there were also many other tribes in the Western Regions who were also engaged in robbery and trading part-time. Second, the vicinity of Stone Town is the traditional sphere of influence of the Maqi tribe, and the strength of the Loulan people is not as good as that of the other party, so it is difficult to meddle in this area.

"You escorted my brother all the way here, and I won't let you do it in vain!" Zhou Xiaofeng waved his hand and interrupted impatiently, "From today onwards, the Maqi clan will move out of Stone City, and all the grasslands in the vicinity will be owned by the Loulan Tribe. As the new head of Shicheng Town, the commander will also nominate someone from your department to do it. ”
