Chapter 81: I'm Back

On the vast grassland, as far as the eye can see.

A group of people in dark red armor and carrying huge leather bags stopped on a small hillside.

Jiang Ge was in high spirits, and shouted loudly to the sky of several yurts not far from the slope down, "I'm back, hahahaha." ”

It's a pity that Jiang Ge was greeted by several old and young women who knelt on the grass trembling and trembling.

In this way, the interest that Jiang Ge had just mentioned disappeared completely.

......

In the tent, Jiang Ge sat by the stove and drank the milk tea cooked by the woman, although Jiang Ge couldn't understand the language spoken by the woman and the old man, but Xiaocao Ah Si could understand, and Ah Si could talk by simulating Jiang Ge's voice, Jiang Ge and Ah Si sang double reeds the same, Jiang Ge moved his mouth but did not make a sound, Ah Si spoke specially, and the cooperation was seamless.

From the dialogue, Jiang Ge confirmed that he was returning to his real world, because the woman and the old man said that they were herdsmen of Qiuzi Country and were grazing for the lord of the country, and the young men were all conscripted into the army, as if the Huns had robbed the lord's pasture, cattle and sheep and slaughtered the lord's people.

Only in Jiang Ge's real world will there be the country of Qiuzi, which is one of the more sound and large-scale of the many small tribal countries in the Western Regions, occupying many oases and rich grasslands in the Western Regions, and will start farming activities in the middle and lower reaches of the oases and rivers very early, and at the same time control large areas of grassland for grazing and rich war horses.

Qiuzi is the most special among the countries in the Western Regions, with a lot of knowledge and practical experience in farming in the Central Plains, and the construction of cities is also similar to the Central Plains, leading the countries in the Western Regions in the manufacture of weapons and tools, and the technical level of the Central Plains has always maintained a relatively close distance.

A country where the culture of the Central Plains and the Western Regions is extremely closely blended, and Buddhism is respected as the state religion, the Buddhist culture is extremely prosperous, and the utensils and murals related to Buddhism can be seen everywhere, and the whole country claims to be the flower of the living Buddha.

The Qiuzi people are not Huns, they are gentle by nature, and they never kill in vain, but they will never tolerate the killing of their people.

So from many details, Jiang Ge concluded that he had returned to the real world, and he took Jianhong and fifty guards with him. Coming out of the Tianshan Mountains, he came to the territory of Qiuzi.

Jiang Ge was happy and sad in his heart.

I am happy that I have finally returned, but I am sad that according to the herdsmen, it is now the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and there are only seven days to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve. This is a good thing, Jiang Ge suddenly ran from Qianlong Valley to the Western Regions thousands of miles away, and it was impossible to go back for less than a year and a half.

Jiang Ge's father, Jiang Shanyi, went to Jinling to dredge up the relationship between the major scholars, and also expressed his attitude with the new dynasty. is almost going back to Linyuan, but Jiang Ge is not there, doesn't this make Jiang Shanyi die in a hurry?

However, Jiang Ge believes that in the end, Jiang Shanyi will find the Qianlong Valley all the way, after all, the Qianlong Valley in charge of Fu Bo has no whereabouts of Jiang Ge's departure, which can only mean that Jiang Ge is still in the Fengming Palace.

Thinking about it like this, Jiang Ge was also a lot more relieved, but he had spent another year with his father, and he regretted it in his heart.

Jiang Ge and Jianhong roughly explained what the whole thing was about, and it also showed that Bai Jianhong and the others came to their own world, and Jiang Ge actually didn't belong to Jianhong's world at all.

As for whether the world where Jian Hong was located was real or false, Jiang Ge couldn't make a judgment. Just truthfully explain it to Jianhong to avoid unnecessary suspicion and trouble.

After repairing overnight, Jiang Ge, Jian Hong, and the fifty guards also spoke thoroughly, and the ins and outs were clear. Although everyone was curious, they were more excited, if they didn't follow Jiang Ge, they would always be just ordinary scouts, after entering that strange space, if Jiang Ge and Jianhong didn't appear, it wouldn't be long before these people went crazy because they couldn't bear the loneliness, and finally died there.

Able to work with the legendary general in their hearts, no matter where they are, these fifty people are determined to follow to the death.

.......

Early the next morning, Jiang Ge left some sun-dried herbs for the herdsmen as compensation, and led the people to the southeast quickly.

According to the herders, there is a huge lake in the southeast, and the upper reaches of the lake is a snow river called the Kaidu River. After the ice and snow of the Tianshan Mountains melt, they converge into thousands of streams, and then merge into the Kaidu River, which follows the Kaidu River Gorge down the southeast to merge into a lake in the huge offshore sea, and then continues to flow to the southeast, this section is called the Peacock River, and finally disappears in the territory of Loulan Kingdom.

Basically, the whole river is used as the dividing line, the west side of the river belongs to the Qiuci country, and the east side of the river is occupied by the Yanqi country and the Moshan country.

Moreover, the Xiongnu occupying Liangzhou are gradually encroaching on the large and small countries and tribes in the Western Regions, and the Qiuci State, as the first power in the Western Regions, may be facing tremendous pressure at this time.

A day passed, and Jiang Ge and his party did not encounter any other herdsmen, but there were many traces of the camps that had just been withdrawn.

In Jiang Ge's plan, he kept moving in the southeast direction, quickly reaching Dunhuang County in Liangzhou, passing through Yumen Pass, and then disguised as a herb merchant all the way through Liangzhou, entering Qinzhou and Sizhou, and then retreating to Jingzhou in the same way as he fled south from Chang'an two years ago.

Jiang Ge estimated that it would take at least half a year. You can't make any mistakes yet, you have to ride a horse all the way. Although I don't know what has become of the hinterland of the Central Plains from Liangzhou to the beginning.

But before Jiang Shanyi showed Jiang Ge the map of the distribution of forces in the world. Liangzhou was occupied by Duan Ye and proclaimed himself King of Liang, Qin Prefecture and Yongzhou were occupied by Helian Bobo of the Huns at the same time and claimed to be King of Xia, and Liangzhou and Yizhou in the north and south were cut off by a Qiang man named Yao Chang and claimed to be King of Qin.

has to cross three spheres of influence, which is a very big challenge for Jiang Ge, compared to the previous southern escape, he has been desperately fleeing, there is a lot of luck, and there may also be the credit of the Bai family.

Now that Jiang Ge wants to take more than 50 people to the south smoothly, Jiang Ge is worried in his heart, and he has no bottom at all.

The sword mountain and the sea of fire can only be broken down

Go, Jiang Ge must return to Linyuan, Jingzhou on his twentieth birthday, and he must also go to the altar to perform the crown ceremony, and more importantly, he must marry the girl in white who has been missing him in his heart and calls him a fool.

.......

Late at night, Jiang Ge couldn't sleep, lying on the fur-covered ground, holding the back of his head with both hands, blinking with the stars in the night sky, thinking about his thoughts, and thinking about his plans after returning to Jingzhou.

Wow~

Suddenly, the calm ground began to shake slightly, like the sound of horses' hooves galloping across the grassland.

Moreover, it is still the place where Jiang Ge and the others camp.

Jian Hong and everyone became alert, one of the guards quickly extinguished the bonfire that was still burning, and the others quickly put on their chain mail and picked up their weapons, and under the command of Jian Hong, they formed an arrow defense formation in the direction where the sound came from.

Everyone was waiting, Jiang Ge stood on the medicine bag piled up in the middle with a gun, and watched from a distance in the direction where the sound was getting closer and closer.

Even Jiang Ge, who had increased his eyesight, couldn't see clearly at all in this dark grassland, but he could roughly see a few figures galloping towards him on horseback, and hundreds of glowing torches jumping in the night sky behind him.

It looks like someone is being hunted down by the army.

The distance is only three miles, and it is getting closer and closer.

Jiang Ge's mind sank, and he ordered: "If the enemy does not offend me, I will stick to it, and if the enemy offends me, I will kill him." ”

Jiang Ge didn't want to wade into such troubled waters, the source was unknown, and in the middle of the night, he couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe at all.

Jian Hong stood at the front of the arrow array, the long sword in his hand was already out of the sheath, and the fifty guards were in accordance with the tactics taught by Jian Hong to set up the battle array, and the broadswords in their hands were raised in front of him, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves galloping closer and closer, just waiting for Jian Hong's order.

Jiang Ge looked at the black shadow that was getting closer and closer with some nervousness in his heart, there were five horses running frantically in front, and there were a lot of arrows stuck in the five people on the horse, and the horse team chasing behind him had the scimitar used by the Huns shining white under the light of the torches.

Listen carefully, in addition to the rumbling sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground, there is also an extremely noisy shout, which is the usual shouting of the Huns when hunting.

Getting closer and closer, he rushed straight towards the camp where Jiang Ge was.

In less than a hundred steps, Jiang Ge finally saw the five fleeing horses, the first one was lying tightly on the back of the horse and followed the continuous ups and downs of the horse, and the four people behind him were wearing the standard military uniforms of the imperial court officers and soldiers, which were exactly the same as the soldiers guarding the city with Jiang Ge in Chang'an City.

"The First Evolution"

Just seeing clearly that the situation of the five people fleeing is probably the officers and soldiers of the former dynasty who remained in the north, Jiang Ge's heart quickly burned with a fighting spirit, and he said loudly: "Protect the five horsemen in front and kill the pursuers!" ”

"Fight!"

Everyone took the order in unison.

Jiang Ge jumped in front of the arrow array, dragged on the ground, and the thunder spear suddenly thundered.

Behind him, Jian Hong's right hand fire feather burst into flames.

The pitch-black broadsword in the hands of the fifty guards leaned to his side with a loud sound, and a faint white fluorescent light up.

Lying on the horse's back, the whole body was in severe pain, Fu Jian, who had not reported hope, only vaguely saw a fire on the dark grassland, and hundreds of Huns behind him chased after him for a day and a night, and dozens of personal guards were also used as prey to play and shoot only four people behind him.

Fu Jian knew that the Huns would not shoot him, but would capture him alive and receive the reward, so he was desperate for a long time, and he just ran as far as he could, delaying a little longer, and maybe he could meet the army in the territory of Qiuzi, which was his only hope.

It's a pity that I haven't met a single ghost.

Fu Jian, who already wanted to fall under the horse, saw the fire beating in the dark night, he never gambled, he decided to fight everything, supported his scarred body and sluggish spirit, pulled out a dagger and stabbed it fiercely on the buttocks of the war horse under his crotch, hugged the horse's back, and ran towards the only light in the darkness.

It's just that when the fire was not far from the firelight, the fire was obviously artificially extinguished, and Fu Jian's heart was like ashes at the moment when the firelight disappeared.

Fu Jian, who had already given up his life in a daze, was bumped on the horse's back.

Before he closed his eyes and fell unconscious, the four guards behind him fell to the ground with a thumping thump.

The subsequent picture is the most beautiful picture Fu Jian has ever seen, and it will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

There was a person, dressed in the dragon scale armor that looked like a god, and dragged a shining thunderbolt in his right hand, which lit up in the dark night with a pop.

Under the thunder light, the man was angry, and the hair on the back of his head flew backwards with the battle intent.

Behind him, another person had a long sword in his hand that lit up with red flames, wearing dark red armor, and his helmet had long blood feathers erected against the wind.

Fu Jian didn't react in a hurry, dozens of sword-shaped white halos lit up behind the person holding the fire sword at the same time, and when he was about to take a closer look, the war horse under his crotch fell to the ground with exhaustion, and Fu Jian was thrown into the air.

Fu Jian, who was rolling in the air, saw the electric light that shot into the Huns' pursuers like meteors below him.

There was a sword, burning with flames, and it followed behind Lei Guang.

There were dozens of white sword lights like arrows, slamming into the rapidly galloping Hun war horses.

For a while, it was as if the heavenly soldiers and gods were going down to earth and teased Fu Jian's Hun war cavalry all day, like an egg that quickly crashed into the head of the spear, torn apart, and the stumps and broken arms flew into the night sky, wailing all over the field.

At the moment when Fu Jian fell to the ground, he had already given up life and death, and smiled slightly, the scene he had just seen was the best gift for him before he died.

Boom~

Fu Jian fell to the ground like a ball of boneless cotton clothes, motionless.

His eyes were closed, but there was still joy at the corners of his mouth.

It's dark.

.......

Jiang Ge, who was ready to go, just glanced at the person who flew up from the horse, and after confirming that it was the appearance of the Han people, Jiang Ge kicked on the ground with his back feet, and his whole body was like an arrow shot with a full bow, with thunder

Breaking through the air and rushing forward towards the rushing Hun cavalry.

The sword rainbow behind Jiang Ge catapulted out after the thunderbolt flew out, and the flames behind him floated in the night sky, forming a long series of long-lasting fire balls floating in the air.

Fifty guards followed closely behind, and they slammed into the Hun cavalry in a field of arrows.

The Hun cavalry, who had not yet figured out what the situation was, was suddenly blocked, and when they saw a flash of lightning flying by, the electrocuted people were all charred and turned into ashes.

The thunderbolt smashed into the ground in the densest place of the cavalry, and then exploded with a bang, and the thunder was everywhere, and the cavalry who had no time to hide were either torn apart or scorched.

There is also that red flame, wherever it passes, whether you are a weapon or a limb, the whole body is fused, and not far from the thunder explosion, it also exploded after smashing into the ground, and the flames scattered in all directions, dissolving instantly.

The Huns, who were lucky not to be caught by the thunder and flames, should have been glad that the natural disaster did not hit their heads, and in the blink of an eye, a broadsword with a white fluorescent handle escaped the cavalry.

If someone can stand on a high place and look down on this plain at this time, they will be amazed at how their children can use fireworks as artillery and put them on the ground.

Coincidentally, on a mountain, a man and a woman were counting the stars on their shoulders, and fireworks were lit on the grassland on the horizon for no reason, brilliant and colorful, and the stars were dotted.

The woman said in surprise: "Good day, someone sets off fireworks, it's so beautiful." ”

The man said silently: "It's beautiful, but it feels like this fireworks are being put on the ground, I'm afraid that the children of which tribe are making naughty trouble." ”

The woman leaned her head on the man's shoulder and said softly, "Liangchen, let me see if it's okay to set off fireworks alone in the future." ”

The man called Liangchen said leisurely: "I will only show you for the rest of my life, I will show it as many times as you want, and I will put it as long as you want to watch it." ”

The woman said happily: "Is that the beauty of fireworks, or the beauty of the scenery?" ”

Liangchen gently touched the woman's hand and said sincerely: "The fireworks are very beautiful, and the beautiful scenery that Liangchen meets to see the fireworks is the most beautiful." ”

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, you always say it so nicely."

“.......”

On the hillside not far from the man and woman, a young man in tattered clothes was lying on the ground holding his chest and was sleeping, and next to him sat a middle-aged woman, holding a sword around his chest, looking at the night sky stupidly.

Suddenly, a colorful light flashed on the dark grassland, and the middle-aged woman patted the young man who was asleep next to her with one hand and said: "Don't sleep like a dead dog on the little stool, get up and see, someone is holding fireworks and putting them on the ground, you say stupid or not, hahaha." ”

Seeing that the sleeping guy was still chirping, the middle-aged woman leaned into her ear and shouted, "Your daughter-in-law is chasing after you, run away." ”

The young man was so frightened that he almost rolled down the mountain, looked around in a panic, and asked in horror: "Master, where, where, why are you chasing here?" ”

While looking at the fire on the ground and hearing the panicked voice of her apprentice, the middle-aged woman laughed even more happily, clenched her fist in front of her, and said to herself: "Yay~ I was deceived again." Hahahaha. ”

The young man who was called the little stool looked at the happy laughing master beside him sadly, and then looked at the grassland with light and shadow flickering, sighed silently in his heart, and thought: "I'm sick again, hey, young man." ”

........

The sky was bright.

Jian Hong, who chased and ran away from the Hun cavalry, and his personal guards rushed back to the camp one after another.

"General Yu, chase and kill for ten miles, and whoever can catch up will be killed." Jian Hong dismounted and hugged his fists.

Jiang Ge nodded, and handed over the handkerchief that had just been stained with water.

Jian Hong drank water while scrubbing his hands and face, looked at the man lying motionless and dying on the ground and asked, "Can you still live?" It looks the same as us. ”

Jiang Ge turned his head and shouted, "Have you boiled it, have you boiled it and brought it over." ”

A guard quickly handed a can of steaming soup to Jiang Ge, Jiang Ge took it and his hands were a little hot, and he quickly put it on the grass and pinched his ears and said: "I can't die, it's also fate, I met us, look at it, the essence of the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum plus the best snow lotus and the best cordyceps is boiled, it is difficult to die." ”

Jiang Ge was about to feed the medicine himself, Jian Hong took the medicine jar and poured the juice into the earthen bowl, took the branch and quickly stirred it in the steaming soup, and from time to time dropped a few drops on the dull lips of the unconscious man, it may be the instinct of the body, or the man's desire to survive, after Jian Hong kept dripping the medicine on his lips, the man would slowly open his mouth and stick out his tongue to suck the medicinal juice.

After seeing that the soup was cold, Jian Hong helped the man up and slowly poured the medicinal juice into it.

After drinking a bowl of medicinal juice, the man's pale face began to gradually turn bloody.

Xiaocao Ah Si told Jiang Ge that in addition to drinking the decoction, don't throw away the residue, just wipe it directly on the wound, and it will be fine soon.

Jiang Ge also instructed the guards to get ready, and only waited for this person to be more soothed before pulling out the arrow and applying the medicine.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time to avoid more Huns chasing after you.

After packing up everything, Jiang Ge led everyone to select the remaining war horses after yesterday's battle, and nearly one hundred and fifty of them were all sound and intact and uninjured.

This herb bag is supported by horses, and a lot of materials have been collected, and there are also horses to walk, and everyone who is good at riding is one person and three horses, and they happily go in the southeast direction.

Hundreds of vulture crows, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, scrambled to fall into the battlefield last night after the horse team left.

A group of jackals followed the vultures to the battlefield, and after the wind and clouds, only rags and armor remained, and weapons scattered haphazardly.

Except for a spear stuck in the ground with a Hun horn helmet on top of it.

From afar, no one can see what has been experienced here.
