Li Zheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this General Xue is really an old fox, he didn't let the soldiers go up the mountain to find it, because he was afraid that Li Zheng would take the villagers to escape, and now he is holding the villagers hostage, that is, he is sure that he will definitely come back.

Li Zheng sighed helplessly and said, "I know, I'll set off." ”

It's not easy to go up the mountain, the road in Gaolan Mountain is rugged, and Li Zheng's trip is three days and three nights. Finally, at dawn on the fourth day, Li Zheng drove a pig back.

General Xue frowned and said, "Why is it just one head?" ”

Li Zheng said with a mysterious face: "Don't look at one head, this one can open the pig bones you want." ”

Seeing the other party's puzzled look, Li Zheng continued: "This is a pig possessed by a dragon!" I went up that day, and in a deserted place, I saw a dragon. The dragon's eight-foot-tall body shrank into this pig in an instant, and I followed all the way, and then the dragon's real body left, and I brought the pig back. ”

General Xue sneered: "Are you telling me a story?" Okay, I'll watch you open, don't blame me for being unkind if you can't open it! ”

Li Zheng immediately started his work confidently, and when everything was ready, Li Zheng looked at the sky and raised the butcher knife, but before the knife fell, a high-pitched and loud cry suddenly came from the mountain. The villagers were talking: "What is this called? "Is it ...... Dragons? Didn't you say there was a dragon on the mountain before? "Could it be that Li Zheng wants to kill this pig, and the Dragon Lord is angry!" For a while, people were panicked, and some timid villagers had already knelt down.

General Xue naturally didn't believe it, and when he saw that the knife in Li Zheng's hand had stopped, he said angrily: "I don't believe in this evil!" You don't kill? I'll kill! Saying that he grabbed the knife and was about to kill the pig, but at this time there was a "boom" roar on the mountain, which seemed to be an earthquake, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were running.

At this time, General Xue also hesitated, where did the thousands of troops and horses come from on this barren mountain? If it was an earthquake, I didn't feel it. Just as he was hesitating, a burst of white smoke suddenly rose from the mountain.

At this time, a subordinate couldn't help but step forward and said to General Xue: "General, don't you forget it?" I am afraid that this pig is really blessed by the dragon, and cannot be killed, so as not to anger the heavens! ”

Li Zheng also took the opportunity to persuade: "General Xue, why don't you take the pig back to raise it?" Look at this pig is not a mortal thing, it is easy to give birth and raise, maybe the merit is immeasurable. ”

General Xue was already a little frightened, but this time he had the steps down, so he ordered his subordinates to lead the pig away.

Seeing that the villagers were still kneeling reverently, Li Zheng couldn't help but touch his chin and smile. In fact, how can there be any dragon apparitions? When Li Zheng found the pigs that day, he found a large and sturdy wild boar mixed in, with a pair of dark and shiny eyes and a pair of sharp and slender fangs. The pigs seemed to listen to him, and they all followed him. With one mouth, the wild boar could emit a clear and long roar, and the aftermath was endless, echoing in the dense forest, instantly reminding Li Zheng of the dragon's roar in the mouth of others.

Li Zheng immediately took it to heart, he poured the wine he brought with him into a stone pit, took out the medicine bag, and quietly sprinkled all the medicinal powder used to cook the pigs' bones on the pigs. After doing all this, Li Zheng led a lonely pig and came down the mountain.

As Li Zheng expected, the wild boar was attracted by the aroma of wine, and after drinking bitterly, he became drunk, and ran along the stream like crazy while hissing, which was the "dragon chant" that everyone heard; The pigs didn't know why, but they also ran together, making a loud "boom" sound; When the pigs ran, the medicinal powder on their bodies fell into the stream, and the stream boiled, emitting bursts of white smoke, which finally deceived General Xue.

The whole village escaped because of this, and Li Zheng's reputation became more and more famous, but Li Zheng understood very well that Jincheng must not stay, for no other reason, as long as General Xue went back to his house and thought about it a little, he knew that Li Zheng was lying to him, then the brutal General Li would definitely blame Li Zheng and his neighbors and villagers......

The reason why Li Zheng thinks this way is because this Master Xue is no one else, he is Xue Ju who has just taken over as a lieutenant from his father, this Xue Ju is not an ordinary person, he was born in the Xue clan of Hedong, a famous family, his hometown was originally in Fenyin, Hedong, and his father Xue Wang moved to Jincheng, Lanzhou. Li Zheng heard that this Xue Ju is burly and majestic, brave and good at shooting, and with the wealth of his family, he has gradually become one of the best in the local area.......

Li Zheng also learned later that this Master Xue, General Xue is Xue Ju, when he learned about the day, Li Zheng quickly picked up his luggage, left Jincheng in a smoke, and stepped into the Hehuang Valley.......

Li Zheng left, unexpectedly, Xue Ju only snorted a few words about Li Zheng's escape, "Let's go........ Obviously, he didn't care about this matter at all, Xue Ju didn't care, so this matter didn't cause much turmoil, and the pursuit of Li Zheng was over........

After walking from Jincheng for more than half a year, Li Zheng finally arrived at the mouth of Dachuan, standing at the confluence of the Huangshui River into the Yellow River, he sighed in his heart, "Fortunately, Lao Tzu has a big life, and he is clever enough to finally survive in Hexi, hehe, although this time is a little slow, but it is not a loss....... It's time to head to the River Valley......."

At this time, Li Zheng is no longer the miserable appearance of the tattered moment when he was almost alive from the Li family, the fur fur and the white cloth inside all show that this fourteen-five-year young man has long been out of the realm of bitterness, the Uzi steel knife on his body and the six-stone strong bow behind him and the bow and crossbow and leather armor on the back of the horse also show that this young man is a brave and warlike young man, and his pony named Zhaoye Bai is a good horse in a million, (what?? Someone asked where did this kid get all this equipment? This is to be said, the Uzi steel knife and leather armor were given to him by the Sogdian merchant He Miqi, who was befriended by Li Zheng, in order to thank him for saving his life, and the strong bow and crossbow were made by Li Zheng himself, and as for the Zhaoye Bai, he bought it from a Turkic herdsman for one hundred and fifty taels of gold.......), which does not look like a fugitive son, but more like a noble son of a family who travels.

When he came to Huangshui, Li Zheng learned that last year, that is, in the fifth year of the Great Cause (609 AD), His Majesty the Second Emperor Yang of the Great Sui personally conquered Tuyuhun, and Murong Fuyun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, was defeated and fled, and His Majesty the Second Emperor Yang occupied the territory of Tuyuhun and set up four counties: Xihai (now Qinghai Huxi), Heyuan (now Qinghai Xinghai Southeast), Shanshan (now Ruoqiang, Xinjiang), and Mo (now Xinjiang and Junan), and also supported Murong Shun, the proton sent by Fuyun to the Great Sui, as the king. The original Tuyuhun minister, Dabao Wang Niluo Zhou, was the auxiliary minister, and the feelings of Tuyuhun were gone, but the four new counties established by the Great Sui were all so-called counties of the state of Jiaozhou, and Li Zheng himself was very safe here.
