Chapter 3 Yangguan (5b)
Chapter 3 Yangguan (5 b)
Wang Xun's shot was not very heavy before, and the guide Lao Yue had already woken up, and he had been lying in the camp pretending to faint. At this moment, I suddenly heard the captain shouting his name, and I knew that something was wrong. Get up as soon as you get up, and run away. At this juncture, how can he run away? Several Wyvern guards had already pounced, knocked him to the ground, and dragged him to Wang Xun with his neck and collar.
"Killed, officers and soldiers killed!" Without waiting for Wang Xun to speak, the guide Lao Yue immediately rolled on the ground. "Officers and soldiers can't beat robbers, kill people to vent their anger!" Several Wyvern Praetorian Guards couldn't hold it down.
"If you dare to shout again, I'll chop you directly!" Wang Xun pulled out a horizontal knife from his waist and pressed it against Lao Yue's neck without hesitation. "Tell me, where did the robbers out there come from?"
"Wronged, the little one doesn't know. I really don't know, Captain! The guide Lao Yue continued to shout, refusing to admit it.
Wang Xun smiled, his wrist was slightly forced, and the sharp blade immediately cut into the flesh, "You say, if I kill you and then rely on the heads of those guys on the other side, will someone administer justice for you later?" ”
The voice of the "little ......." shouting injustice stopped abruptly. Guide Lao Yue opened his eyes, his eyes full of fear. He found himself in big trouble, albeit at a young age. But it's definitely not a fool. This can be seen from his decisive move just now to stun himself to stabilize the morale of the army.
"I'm not very patient." Wang Xun raised his wrist slightly upward, and the blood beads immediately slowly slid down the blade, and drop by drop seeped into the sand. "But I'd love to see how much blood a person can shed. Three hours? Or two hours? If I slit your veins, I'm sure those guys out there won't be able to rush in and save you! ”
Listening to the hissing sound of the sand absorbing the blood, the fear in the eyes of the guide Lao Yue was deep, "I, I really don't know what they are about, Lord Captain!" You just let the small ones go. There are three babies in the small family, and they all rely on the little ones to lead the way and feed them! ”
"Don't know?" Wang Xun suddenly became soft-hearted, slowly put away the horizontal knife, and wiped the blood stains on the blade with his fingers.
"I really don't know, I don't know. The little ones can swear to God! If there is half a lie, the sky will thunder! "The guide Lao Yue was pardoned, covering the wound on his neck with one hand and pointing high to the sky with the other.
"But I've heard that there is no thunder in the desert!" In an instant, Wang Xun pressed the horizontal knife to the other side of Lao Yue's neck again, "I don't know." I don't know who the robber is, why do you just finish telling a ghost story during the day, and there are robbers pretending to be ghosts at night? I don't know, why didn't you leave the Yiwu Road that was easy to walk outside the Yumen Pass, but took everyone to the desert outside the Yangguan Pass? I don't know why you shout louder than anyone else when the enemy is coming? ”。
The first and third questions were simply unexplained by the guide Lao Yue. But the second question allowed him to find a gap. "Small wrongs, wrongs! Captain-sama. To take this path, you chose it yourself ten days ago. You can't blame the little ones! ”
"Really?" Wang Xun's wrist continued to exert force, and the second cut was made on Lao Yue's neck, "I'm new here, so I will only take the shortcut as mentioned on the map." What you eat is the bowl of rice of the guide, how can there be a reason to bring it to the guests on the difficult road? Say, the people outside are about to attack, and before they reach the camp, I hope to hear a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, you'll never get a chance to say it! ”
"Ah......." The guide Lao Yue's neck hurt, and he desperately dodged backwards. Fang Ziteng rushed forward, reached out to grab his head, and turned his throat to the blade, "Don't ask him." Anyway, I'd rather die than tell the truth. Give him a good time, and then let's tell the people outside directly that he has confessed. Fraud can also deceive the truth! ”
This sentence was more effective than all of Wang Xun's words just now, and the guide Lao Yue immediately opened his eyes, and his head shook desperately, "Rao, spare your life!" I, I persuade, don't, don't kill me! ”
"Toast and don't eat and drink!" To deal with this kind of hob meat, Fang Ziteng has far more ways than Wang Xun. "I'll count one, two, three, and if I don't confess, I'll cut your throat. One ......."
"I said, I said, it was Gulitu, it was General Gulitu who asked me to do this. The little ones are doing what they are told, and they are told! The guide, Lao Yue, cried and shouted loudly.
"Gullito?" Wang Xun had a vague impression of this name, but he couldn't remember exactly when he had a relationship with this person. Before he could remember, the guide Lao Yue had completely collapsed, "It's the ancient captain who has been escorting you a few days ago." In Liangzhou City, he instructed the little ones to take you to the Loulan Ancient Road. Before we parted yesterday, he told me that I must take you to rest in this area tonight, otherwise, I will try to ask my whole family! The small one is a flat-headed people, and the small one really can't provoke him! ”
Hearing this, not only Wang Xun, but also several other leaders of the forbidden army all understood. The team of soldiers and horses sent by Ge Shuhan did not come to protect everyone at all, but to send everyone into the ghost gate. Killing people in Hexi, even if no one suspects his brother Shuhan later, and losing such a large amount of weapons in the jurisdiction, this person will not escape the crime of insecurity. After leaving Yangguan, it is under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Army. The baggage team disappeared into the desert, and the responsibility could only be borne by Feng Changqing, and it had nothing to do with his brother Shuhan.
"Small, small, no, I don't know what you have to do with General Gu. But the small, the small dare to guarantee, go, take the Loulan Ancient Road, indeed, it is indeed closer than Yiwu Road! The small, the small one didn't have any malicious intentions, it's just, it's just ......" Seeing that everyone was stunned on the spot, the guide Lao Yue thought about it and defended himself in a low voice.
"I'll kill you bastard!" Before he could finish speaking, Fang Ziteng rushed forward, punching and kicking. "No malice, no malice. Let's take a look at what those guys out there have around their necks. Lao Tzu has been brought into a trap by you, and you still say that there is no malice! Lao Tzu will kill you first, and if you die, you will pull a cushion! ”
The guide Lao Yue didn't dare to fight back, he held his head with both hands, and rolled on the ground, "Spare your life, Master Fang spare your life." The little one is just a lead one. The little ones only know how to lead the way! ”
Everyone made such a big noise, and the people in the vicinity had already been alarmed. They all turned their heads and probed their brains to see what was going on. In his eyes, there was no lack of pity for the beaten.
"Okay, Xiao Fang, it's useless to beat him!" Wang Xun didn't want to cause misunderstanding among the people, so he waved his hand and shouted in a low voice. "Let him go, I have a few more words to ask!"
The boss has an order, and Fang Ziteng can't help but obey. grabbed the neck of the guide Lao Yue and threw it back in front of Wang Xun again. "Say, answer my captain's words well, otherwise, Lao Tzu will dismantle you!"
"I said, I said, I'll say whatever the captain asks?" The guide Lao Yue climbed a few steps towards Wang Xun and agreed with a pair of panda eyes.
Wang Xun smiled and pulled him from the ground with one hand, "Sit down." No need to kneel! The first thing I want to know is, what kind of person is the surname Gu that makes you so afraid of him? ”
"He was originally a slave to Goshuhan. Later, he became a general of the Hexi Army. "The guide Lao Yue didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with Wang Xun, squatted on the ground, and responded in a low voice." They are all Turkic. So break the bones and connect the tendons. I am Han Chinese, and I am usually bullied by the Turks. When you encounter the Turkic officials, you don't dare not listen to them! ”
It is the result of the deliberate connivance of the imperial court! Wang Xun, Fang Ziteng and the others looked at each other and muttered to themselves in their hearts. After Emperor Taizong conquered the Western Regions, he implemented the policy of treating Hu and Han equally. As a result, many barbarian tribes turned Hu into Han and slowly merged with the Tang people of the Central Plains. In today's emperor's generation, because he feels that the Hu people are more honest than the Han people, many policies are tilted towards the Hu people. As a result, the Hu people in the Western Regions felt that they were superior to the Han people, and many Han family children were also proud of carrying the blood of the Hu people. Over time, there were more and more Hu people in various parts of the Western Regions, and fewer and fewer Han people. Slowly, it became the world of the Turks, Tiele and Hui people again.
This kind of court event is far beyond the beak of Wang Xun and other small people, although along the way, they have deeply seen the potential danger. With a long sigh, he raised his voice a few points and continued to ask, "Does the so-called ghost injury incident on this road have anything to do with the guy surnamed Gu?" It's not the first time you've colluded with him, has it? What else did he do besides trying to murder us this time? ”
"Little wrong!" The guide Lao Yue instinctively denied it, looked at Fang Ziteng who was ready to pounce on him at any time, and quickly changed his words, "The little one has only done business with him twice, and this is the second time." Last time, it was a group of big food merchants, relying on the crowd to take a shortcut. After being known by Gu Litu, he killed them all and sank into the Puchang Sea. The small one only got a roll of Suzhou silk afterwards, and nothing else was caught. ”
"Oh my God!" Everyone gasped. I had heard that Ge Shuhan was covering the sky in Hexi, but I didn't expect the courage and appetite of his subordinates to be so big. Kill people and sell goods, sit on the ground and share the spoils. It's no different from a real sand pirate. It's just that the latter is fighting with open fire, while Gu Litu and the others are wearing official robes.
"Not a single one is left alive!" Although the enemy troops in the distance had finished sorting out the team, Wang Xun still asked unhurriedly.
"Nope! General Gulitu was afraid that the matter would be revealed, and his subordinates never left a living mouth. Guide Lao Yue shook his head and closed his eyes in fear.
For such a large caravan, more than 300 guards were invited. But overnight, he was killed completely. The partner who came to lead the way was frightened, and since then he foams at the mouth every day, and kowtows and begs for mercy when he sees people. And he doesn't even have the qualifications to go crazy. The whole family is holding it in the hands of others, and if they don't cooperate with the Gulitu generals, they will definitely be thrown into the desert, and they won't even be able to find a corpse.
