"Where is this? Am I still alive? ”

On horseback, Zhang Jun was tied and firmly tied, and the war horse under him galloped quickly on the grassland under the traction of a soldier wearing dark red armor.

"Am I alive, or have I arrived in the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom? Ahem... Can you slow down, big brother. When I die, I am bound like this, what kind of iniquity have I done? ”

Thundered~

No one spoke except for the sound of horses' hooves, and no one responded to him, not even a glance.

Zhang Jun was sad to lie on the horse's back and couldn't move, feeling that the wounds on his body were not so painful, and his spirit was much better. It's just curious that I'm dead, why do I have to suffer from such torture and bumps.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't think about it, Zhang Jun shouted at the top of his voice: "Can you not be tied up, you were not tied into a zongzi like this when you were alive, are you a heavenly soldier or a ghost, can you speak, can you have a squeak that understands people's words?" ”

“.......”

Thundered.....

"God, kill me again, I want to see Hades, it's okay to go down to the eighteenth layer of hell, can you have a talking ghost."

There was a thud, the sound of the hilt of the sword slamming hard against the skull.

The voice just now stopped abruptly.

Zhang Jun's head rested on the horse's back and rose and fell.

The team continued to gallop and pick up speed.

In the distance, there was a camp, and it looked like a lot of people, including troops, herdsmen, and countless cattle and sheep.

Jiang Gelema stopped on a small slope on a slightly higher ground, and fifty guards were waiting for him.

The camp in the distance had already sounded the horn of vigilance, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out, lined up in an orderly manner, looking at Jiang Ge and the others from afar.

Jiang Ge muttered a few words in Jian Hong's ear and then stopped talking, quietly looking at the cavalry opposite.

Jian Hong ran away at a rapid pace, and the other party also rushed out of the array, stopping at about the middle distance, carefully looking at Jian Hong, who was full of heroic fighting intent.

Jian Hong looked at the visitor and said coldly: "My general asked you what department you belong to?" Just answer truthfully. ”

Facing Jian Hong's cold questioning, the man just smiled lightly and said, "Where are you from, that tribe?" Still is...... Han? ”

Jian Hong looked at the robed man in front of him and said: "Seeing that you don't look like a military person, I will not embarrass you, and I will show my identity, I will return to the general, and the general will make his own decision." ”

The man saw that Jian Hong's temperament was not domineering, although his words were cold, and after observing for a while, the man knew in his heart, and said with a smile: "This camp behind the student is the Qiuzi military camp, if your army is a Han army, please enter the camp to repair." If it's an army of other tribes, you can go and stay on your own. ”

Seeing that this person was polite and well-behaved, Jian Hong also hugged his fists, turned his horse's head and returned to Jiang Ge's side and said: "General, the other party is a scholar, saying that it is the Qiuzi military camp, and also said that if we are a Han army, please go and repair it, if not, you can do it yourself." ”

Jiang Ge looked at the sky, the sun was about to set in the west, and he thought that he would not be able to meet anyone for a few days, since he had met it, he would repair it for a day, and it would be good to find out the situation on the road ahead, the other party was still a military camp in Qiuci, and he should have entered the defense range of Qiuci, and he did not have to worry about being attacked by the Huns.

After thinking about it thoroughly, Jiang Ge ordered everyone to walk slowly to five hundred steps outside the camp, and a middle-aged Confucian man in a Han robe rode up to Jiang Ge on horseback, dismounted and hugged his fists and asked, "The general is a Han?" ”

Jiang Ge also dismounted and said, "Mr. is also Han?" ”

The Confucian laughed and said: "The general praises, the student can't afford to be the word Mr., the student Wang Qi, the word Jingluo, a native of Juxian County, Beihai County, Qingzhou, used to make a living in the city before the city was broken, and taught a few students to barely survive." After the city was broken, he picked up a life, and he heard that he couldn't go to the east, and he couldn't go back to Qingzhou, so he simply went all the way west out of Yumen Pass to the Western Regions, and now he is a barbarian Sima in the Qiuzi army, specializing in the affairs of various tribes. ”

After listening to the introduction of the Confucian scholars, Jiang Ge felt warm in his heart, and took a step back and said: "Student Luoyang Jiang Ge, I have seen Mr., Mr. can settle down in the Western Regions thousands of miles away, and his ability can be seen. ”

Wang Qi was in a very good mood, held Jiang Ge's hand and said, "We don't have to be polite like this, hurry, the brothers will all go into the camp to recuperate." Where did the generals come from? But if you want to meet the Central Plains......"

Jiang Ge was also much more relaxed in Wang Qi's hospitable atmosphere, and finally there was a Han person who could communicate, so Jiang Ge, who had been holding back for many days, was excited in his heart, there were too many things to know, and now he finally met the right person.

Wang Qi did his best to arrange Jiang Ge and his party in an area alone, with all kinds of food and drink, and Jiang Ge was also led to the tent where Wang Qi worked.

The guests and hosts sat down, Jiang Ge could see that the enthusiasm revealed by Wang Qi was joy from the heart, and Wang Qi could also feel the intimacy from Jiang Ge's body.

The two of them chatted casually while drinking tea, you say a word to me, it doesn't matter what the content is, it is a great joy to be able to chat and speak Luoyang official dialect to each other.

Wang Qi gushed about his sad past all the way west, while Jiang Ge concealed part of the facts to tell about the Battle of Chang'an and what he saw and heard that he could not escape.

In the end, the two of them were related, and they felt like home at first sight, as for how they got to the Western Regions, Jiang Ge arranged it randomly, saying that it was the family's medicinal herb business that had to be done, but they finally got out of the customs and couldn't go back, and they had been wandering the grassland.

The two chatted for two hours, and the tea was changed several times, and then it was only at Jian Hong's signal that Jiang Ge remembered that the person he saved was still alive.

Jiang Ge didn't want to do much, since he saved people, he started and finished well, they were all Han people, and he handed it over to the warm-hearted Wang Qi, Jiang Ge was also relieved.

Therefore, Jiang Ge asked Jianhong to send Zhang Jun, who was tying up the city zongzi, over.

Wang Qi's first reaction when he saw Zhang Jun, this person was not Han, but he was born with the appearance of a Han person, and his appearance was strange and magnificent, so he was curious: "Are you Han?" ”

Zhang Jun also said generously: "Do you care if you are a Han person or not?" Lao Tzu Zhang Jun, who settled the Wu clan, had a kind of killing Lao Tzu again. ”

Jiang Ge looked at Zhang Jun who was tied into zongzi and felt funny, not only did he look good, but he also had a sense of simplicity when he spoke in a temper.

After listening to Zhang Jun's words, Wang Qi was taken aback, and then asked: "Dare to ask Uncle Clan, but is it Zhang Mao, the assassin of Liangzhou?" ”

Wang Qi's words were shocking, Jiang Ge had to put away his casual look, the nephew of Liangzhou Thorn History? Didn't Liangzhou give the Huns Duan Ye to cut off the alleged king?

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm dead, and you still don't let me see the elders in the clan?" Are you gods or ghosts? Don't play with me, okay? Give a good word. ”

Wang Qi laughed, took out a knife and cut the rope for Zhang Jun and said: "It turned out to be General Zhang, no wonder he was born magnificent, offended, please sit down, come here, prepare a banquet." ”

Zhang Jun was still squatting on the ground stupidly, looking at the broken rope on the ground, then at Wang Qi and Jiang Ge, and asked stupidly, "I'm not dead?" ”

Jiang Ge smiled and nodded, Wang Qi hurriedly helped Zhang Jun to sit down, looked at Zhang Jun carefully and said, "How did General Zhang get the injury on his body?" I heard that Liangzhou was attacked by the Huns, and Lord Assassin Shi led the army to resist to the death, and they all sacrificed their lives for the country? ”

Zhang Jun confirmed that he was still alive, and just wanted to laugh happily, when he heard Wang Qiyi's heart sink again, and muttered: "The Xiongnu attacked from the north and south, and the clan uncle was difficult to support alone, and all the clansmen were slaughtered. The bunker secretly built by our clan in Mingsha Mountain is deep in the mountains, and the material reserves are abundant, and a group of 200 people settled down after they arrived. But who would have thought, I was discovered by the Huns before I hid for half a year, and the guards escorted me to Qiuzi a few days ago, chasing and killing all the way, and finally only four guards remained, and the result was still ....... Hey......"

Wang Qi glanced at Jiang Ge and said, "As a result, you ran into Brother Jiang?" Then you think you're dead, and you end up here. It looks like he's getting better. ”

Zhang Jun unceremoniously tore off a lamb chop from the plate that the guard had just brought up, gnawed it in his mouth, and said while eating the meat: "That night, I thought I was going to die, but who would have thought that many heavenly soldiers and generals suddenly appeared, holding thunder and lightning and red fire to kill the pursuers, because the horses were physically exhausted and were seriously injured, and they fell directly and died. I thought I was going to die, but in my dreams I saw that Yin Cha was coming to ask for my life, but a bowl of soul soup saved me. After I woke up, I was tied to my horse and kept running, no one around me spoke, no one paid attention to me, I was in a daze, I really thought I was dead, and the two of them worked. ”

Wang Qi looked at Jiang Ge curiously, Jiang Ge smiled a little embarrassedly, seeing that the wine and food had been prepared, Wang Qi stretched out his hand and motioned for Jiang Ge to take care of himself, and Zhang Jun took care of himself.

Jiang Ge ate slowly, Zhang Jun gobbled up, Wang Qi just drank wine and thought about Zhang Jun's words, could it be that Jiang Ge's fifty-one people were really divine soldiers descending from heaven?

Wang Qi joked and said: "General Zhang Xiao, according to what you said, the sudden appearance of the heavenly soldiers and generals saved you, may I ask how many Hun cavalry were chasing you at that time?" ”

Zhang Jun swallowed a mouthful of meat and took a big sip of wine and said: "There must be one or two thousand people in Mingsha Mountain, and the feeling of chasing and killing is no less than five hundred, and then after only a dozen people are left, I feel that the Huns still have three or four hundred horsemen." ”

Wang Qi laughed out loud, thinking that it was impossible for fifty infantry to save people under the pursuit of three hundred Hun cavalry. There must have been something magical happening, and Jiang Ge and his party were all riding horses, and they were all riding three people, all carrying the best cordyceps, this Jiang Ge had already said before.

Jiang Ge said with a haha: "Brother Zhang is lucky, I often hear that there is a god in this Tianshan Mountain, but Brother Zhang has encountered it." When I was also passing by, my subordinates found Brother Zhang who was dying, and looked amazed, handsome and extraordinary, and saved Brother Zhang in the spirit of my Buddha's compassion and accumulation of virtue. After boiling the medicinal soup for Brother Zhang for a few nights, he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but he didn't expect Brother Zhang to survive. It's really a blessing from heaven. Hahaha. ”

Wang Qi was right when he thought about it, it couldn't be Jiang Ge and his party, at most, they were passing by and saw something that was easy to do, which is a common thing in the Western Regions. When I came to the Western Regions alone, the road was also difficult and dangerous, and I didn't meet well-wishers a few times, otherwise this life would have been gone.

Zhang Jun wiped his mouth after eating and drinking, knelt in front of Jiang Ge with a snap and said: "I'm sorry Brother Jiang, I was so hungry just now, I am much more comfortable now, thank you for the life-saving grace of the eldest brother, and rebuild with you, if you are sent in the future, don't dare to disobey." ”

Jiang Ge was taken aback, he liked this silly Zhang Jun very much, hurriedly got up to help him, and said modestly: "Do it casually, they are all Han people, and they have to rely on friends outside the Seychelles, and they should help them." Don't be so polite, sit down and continue eating. If you are not good at drinking, you and Brother Wang should drink more. ”

Zhang Jun didn't squirm, got up and sat down, and then raised his glass to Wang Qi and said, "Thank you Brother Wang for your hospitality, and the younger brother will do it first as a respect." ”

Wang Qi was not ambiguous, raised his wine glass and grunted

Wine in a bowl.

Wang Qi was happy to meet the Han people outside the Saiwai, and he was even more related after meeting the former Zhongliang, feeling that the world was collapsing and the world was miserable, and he could only survive in the Western Regions, and there was nowhere to put the heart of serving the country with a fist. I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I can't lift a sword to kill slaves, and I can't use my strategy in the Western Regions, and I am depressed all day long.

Zhang Jun burst into tears, telling the pain of the parting of his family members, and now he doesn't know where to go, he has no long things, and he doesn't know how long he can live in the vast Western Regions. Thinking of the hatred of the family and the country, Zhang Jun clenched his fists and smashed them on the table again and again, like the alarm bell and drum, and the sound entered his heart.

Jiang Ge's mood is much better than the two, plus Jiang Ge doesn't love to be sad and sad, the hatred of the family and the country is remembered in his heart, and before he takes revenge, he has to sacrifice his life to protect the people around him who are still alive.

However, seeing the state of the two is inevitably sad.

"Report to Sima, the general is invited." The untimely sound of the report at the door broke the current atmosphere of sadness.

Wang Qi wiped the tears in his eyes, and after sorting out his clothes, he said to Jiang Ge and Zhang Junzuo: "I am afraid that there is a military situation, there can be no delay, the two of you are at your own convenience, and the rest place has already been arranged, there is no need to wait to save it, the two brothers will repair more today, and it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in five days, and you can't spend the New Year on the road." For the time being, stay in the camp with peace of mind, it is very safe. ”

Jiang Ge and Zhang Jun hugged each other, Jiang Ge continued to chew and swallow slowly, he had not eaten carefully cooked food for a long time, and he was reluctant to gobble it up at this time, thinking that as Chinese New Year's Eve approached, his father, Fubo, Ling'er and relatives would not be unstable because of the lack of news about themselves.

I am also helpless in my heart, but I want to fly back with my wings, and celebrate the New Year with my family, which is more important than anything else.

After Wang Qi left, Zhang Jun was full of food and drink, and his hands were propped on the ground and looked at Jiang Ge intently: "Brother Jiang, don't lie to me, I looked at your face carefully when I fell off the horse, the person holding the thunder and lightning is you, right?" ”

Jiang Ge just smiled slightly, and continued to taste the unique melons and fruits of the Western Regions, which were sweet and delicious.

Zhang Junjian Jiang Ge didn't react, sat next to Jiang Ge and said, "I know it's Brother Jiang, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, anyway, I know that person must be you." I can see clearly your guards, and although I am seriously injured, I am not blind. Tell me, which god in the sky are you? What to do in the mortal world? Do you need the help of the younger brother, go to the soup and go to the fire, you don't hesitate. ”

thought that Zhang Jun would say anything, but he regarded Jiang Ge and his party as immortals. Jiang Gele said uncontrollably: "Come on, I'm just a herb merchant, what kind of immortal, my health is not good, don't think nonsense, rest more these days, I'll ask the guards to give you the medicine." ”

Jiang Ge didn't entangle with Zhang Jun after speaking, got up and clapped his hands and went back to find Jianhong, ready to rest. He still had to think about whether to stay here until Chinese New Year's Eve or leave the next day. A lot of news has not been verified, and Jiang Ge is not in a hurry to decide. Let's get a good night's rest.

When Zhang Jun saw Jiang Geshen's mysterious appearance, he knew that he had guessed eight or nine, how could there be a businessman's guard wearing such a neat high-grade battle armor, and he had been mixing in the military camp since he was a child, did he have this eyesight?

Zhang Jun, who decided that Jiang Ge was a god, also realized that the key was that he was full of wine and food, and he couldn't be sleepy, so he didn't do much entanglement, and went to sleep by himself.

........

Barracks Shuai Tent.

Wang Qi was reporting something, there was a middle-aged man in a white-robed Han costume on the main throne with his back to Wang Qi, and after listening carefully to Wang Qi's report, the white-robed man confirmed that the leading young man of the medicine merchant was surnamed Jiang, and motioned for Wang Qi to walk to his side, and the man seemed to have whispered something.

Wang Qi, who was standing on the side, nodded uncontrollably, and finally took the order to retire, returned to his tent, and saw that Jiang Ge and Zhang Jun had left, so he sat down and drank himself.

The general attaches great importance to Jiang Ge and Zhang Jun, but these two values are very different.

This is the feeling that Wang Qi only made clear after he came back.

The general seemed to be surprised by Jiang Ge's appearance, and then quickly regained his composure, but the careful Wang Qi still noticed it.

Seemingly asking in a few words, Wang Qi knew that the general was confirming whether Jiang Ge was a person, no, it should be to confirm whether this Jiang Ge was the person the general had in mind.

Could it be that the general knows a person named Jiang Ge, and it is quite important?

Relatively speaking, although the general asked Zhang Jun more questions than Jiang Ge, Wang Qi felt the familiar taste of the general, the smell of a new chess piece.

No one knows why Qiuci has stood for thousands of years in the Western Regions, no one knows that Qiuci's national surname Bai is Han Chinese, and no one knows why the Xiongnu only dare to encroach on the surrounding tribes of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people, but they dare not use Qiuci.

Wang Qi knows, so he came to the Western Regions, after a thousand difficulties and dangers, he hopes to find a stage here to display what he has learned all his life, he wants to meet Bole who appreciates himself, and then in this troubled times, show his strategy, all his ambitions, national hatred and family hatred, will be completed under his own step-by-step planning.

In Qiuzi, the only thing that scared Wang Qi was the white-robed general, who seemed to have survived in this world for thousands of years, and could easily perceive people's hearts and predict the future.

Since Wang Qi met the general, the general only dropped one sentence, to be a military commander, learn more about the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and wait for five years.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the fifth year of Wang Qi's arrival in Guizi and the seventh year of Jianxing.
