Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Path-Raider

At the foot of Helan Mountain, the vast and open Gobi Desert seems to accommodate thousands of troops and horses galloping here, and the sun sets, showing the unique beauty of the vastness.

"Bang Bang Bang", a group of caravans bathed in the remnant sun, marching towards the east. This situation and this scene, falling into the eyes of the poet, will definitely be poetic, reciting beautiful verses.

"Whoosh", the sand willows on both sides of the gravel road, arrows flew from it, and several caravan guards screamed and fell off their horses.

Then, with the sound of horses' hooves, a group of cavalrymen armed with swords and guns galloped in.

This is a group of officers and soldiers wearing Tuyuhun military uniforms, the first one is tall, with a brain shell, a round face, a pair of bull's eyes, dark skin, and looks like he is no more than a teenager, he is Zhang Guigui.

The two warriors beside Zhang Guigui, one was Hou Junji's righteous son Hou Cheng, and the other was Li Daozong's nephew Li Duan, and behind them were more than 30 cavalrymen.

After a period of tragic killing, several old and weak Tibetans who survived the caravan survived under some bitter pleading. After receiving the news that Murong Zun had taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty deliberately spread by Zhang Guigui and others, the Tubo people fled in a hurry along the way they came.

Zhang Guigui and others snatched the money and jewelry from the Tubo people, and threw the rest of the bulky belongings into the mountains on the side of the road and walked away.

The remnant sun was still there, except for the corpses of a dozen Tubo people on the ground, the wilderness was still quiet, as if nothing had happened.

Night fell, and it was still a little cold in the Helan Mountains in early summer.

By a small stream, several bonfires were lit, and Zhang Guigui and others gathered around the bonfire, eating barbecue and chatting.

Hou Cheng said: "Precious, this place in Helan Mountain is really too remote, for a whole day, I met such two groups of Tubo people, and they both came from the direction of Longde City, which is really boring." ”

Li Duan said: "Precious, why did His Highness ask us to kill these Tubo people, is this related to the rescue of His Royal Highness the King of Shu?" ”

Zhang Guigui shook his head and said, "I don't know, Brother You does things, and I, a brother who is with him all day long, can't figure it out." However, my brother You is reliable, whatever he says, let's just do it. ”

Hou Cheng took a snatched jade bracelet and looked at it repeatedly, and Zhang Guigui said disdainfully: "This thing is a low-end product, and it's not worth much." ”

Hou Cheng said: "Precious, listen to my father-in-law, you have made a fortune, how much money do you have now?" ”

When Zhang Guigui heard this, he became nervous and said, "Why do you want to rob, or kill for money?" I don't have any money. ”

Li Duan said disdainfully: "Look at your miser's appearance, it's really disgraceful." I don't believe it, how much money can you have, as for it? ”

Zhang Guigui used to be underestimated before, but after becoming rich, his status in the family has improved, and he is already a new human being. Seeing Li Duan underestimate himself, the feeling of being looked down upon before suddenly returned, and he sneered:

"Cut, what do you know, brother, I have money, how much money, let's put it this way, more money than you've ever seen combined. You guess how much, count your fingers, count your toes, just count your hair, you don't dare to dream about it. ”

Hou Cheng smiled: "Look at you like that, you are an upstart face, no wonder your father is wearing a Shu brocade shirt and showing off in front of my stepfather." ”

Zhang Guigui raised his chin, nostrils turned to the sky, and hummed: "Envy, it's a good day to be rich." ”

The brothers were talking nonsense, and the soldiers who were guarding came over and said, "Zhang Gongzi, a team of people and horses from the direction of Fu Qi City, about a dozen horsemen, is almost here." ”

"Who?" Zhang Guigui asked.

"It's too dark to see clearly." The sentry said.

Zhang Guigui said: "Who does it matter, stop it first." He shouted, "Get on your horses and go!"

Not long after, Zhang Guigui and others stopped those knights, and when they got closer, they were all Tubo.

The Tibetans were very nervous at first, but after seeing that the people blocking the road were Tuyuhun cavalry, they relaxed. The leader said: "Everyone, I am the envoy of the Tibetan Mission, and I am on the orders of your Khan to go to Longde City on business, and I ask you to give way. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Guigui said: "It turned out to be the lord of the Tibetan Mission, please come over." So saying, he and his men got out of the way and stood on either side.

The Tibetan man said, "Thank you." Then pass through Zhang Guigui and the others.

When waiting for all the Tubo people to enter the middle of the Tang army, Zhang Guigui shouted: "Do it." ”

The Tibetans were caught off guard and were immediately killed most of them.

The guards in the Tibetan mission were extremely brave, they resisted desperately, and the two sides started a fierce battle.

Zhang Guigui and others were all good hands, and there were many people, and they soon killed all the Tubo people.

Suddenly, Hou Cheng saw that there was another figure behind him, and he had already turned his horse's head and fled in the direction of Fu Qi City. He shouted, "And one more! ”

It turned out that this Tibetan man temporarily left the mission because of his liberation, but he happened to escape.

Zhang Guigui shouted: "Don't let him run, chase after him!" "Li You has explained that the Tubo people who came out of the direction of Fu Qi City can't leave a single living mouth.

Zhang Guigui and Hou Cheng chased after them.

The Tubo people's riding skills are very high, and the horses are also very fast, Zhang Guigui and others chased a stick of incense for a long time, and the longer they chased it, the farther and farther they came. Seeing that the Tubo people were about to disappear into the darkness of the night, Hou Cheng bent his bow and shot arrows, shooting three arrows in a row, but he didn't know if he had hit the man, but he couldn't see it anyway.

Zhang Guigui was anxious, for fear of delaying Li You's big event, so he desperately chased after him.

As luck would have it, the Tibetan envoy was hit by an arrow in his back and fell to the ground, already dying.

The stone in Zhang Guigui's heart fell to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. He spurred his horse and killed him with a single sword.

These Tubo people were sent back by the Tibetan envoy Van Gogh, who were ready to secretly mobilize Tibetan warriors to assassinate Li Ke.

Not long after, Van Gogh Nian, who had negotiated the conditions with Murong Zun, accompanied by the right prime minister of Tuyuhun, also embarked on the road to Longde City. He was going to personally go to meet the Tibetan army to the city of Fuqi.

Two days later, the whereabouts of Van Gogh and others were discovered by Zhang Guigui and others, but he was very depressed - the Tubo people and the Tuyuhun army that escorted them were more than 200 people!

Li You confessed that not a single Tubo person could be let go, and they must be stopped, otherwise the entire rescue operation might be wasted.

However, there are only more than 30 people in total, and if they go up rashly, not only will they not be able to stop them, but Zhang Guigui and the others will also die in vain.

What to do?

What to do?

Zhang Guigui and others fell into distress.

Besides, Li You in Fu Qi City, heard Murong Bo say: "Your Highness, do you dare to play a more exciting game?" His curiosity was piqued.

Li You asked, "What do you say?" ”

Murong Bo said: "I will personally visit those former ministers of my father Khan, do their work, and win them to turn against the water.

This is very dangerous, do you dare to go with me? ”
