Chapter Fifty-Eight: Halfway to Rescue Taishi Julang
The northwest is not like the south of the Yangtze River, even if there is autumn rain, there is a little less obsession, but a little more desolate, Jinyang guards the window alone, his hand is on his cheeks, and his eyes are hesitant.
Her mood is like the fluttering rain, delicate and tangled, she is no longer the golden and delicate dragon girl, she has gone through hardships and dangers all the way, she has already smelled the battle behind the scenes, and she vaguely saw the upcoming temple storm, but she didn't expect that fate tricked her, making her the butterfly that set off the storm.
Although Li Wushuang didn't like Xu Zhen's temperament, but Zhang Ye fought, but let her see the wolf blood and fire iron nature on Xu Zhen's body, and heard that Xu Zhen asked for his life to go to Ganzhou to die, she couldn't help but curse in her heart, seeing that Jinyang was becoming more and more unhappy and melancholy, knowing that this little girl might have a spring heart, and she wanted to cherish Xu Zhen's humility, and couldn't help but feel that Jinyang was not worth it.
Jin Yang stared boredly at the door of the mansion under the window, and after half an hour, the soldiers led a person in through the side door, isn't it the long-fated Xu Zhen!
Her eyes lit up suddenly, she seemed to have regained her vitality, hurriedly got up, wanted to go downstairs to greet her, just out of the boudoir, but saw Li Wushuang waiting in the outer hall, hurriedly blushed, and resumed the demeanor of a noblewoman, but her heart was as shy as if she was being caught on the spot as a thief, twisted and slowed down a few steps, and stepped up her steps, Li Wushuang could only sigh helplessly.
Earlier, she asked her soldiers to invite Xu Zhen, but she didn't expect this lazy thing to arrive, but after all, she was inexplicably annoyed when she came, this kind of feeling is really incomprehensible but can't help but worry.
Li Wushuang didn't leave an inch, Xu Zhen couldn't be unscrupulous in front of the little girl, he saluted with a straight face, and didn't dare to sit down with a big smile, just said something to Jin Yang, and didn't dare to make too much of a mistake, Jin Yang wanted to dissuade Xu Zhen from going to Ganzhou several times, but in the end he endured it.
The two of them didn't have the opportunity to say a few words of self-ironing, and they felt uncomfortable, and suddenly they were surprised, Xu Zhen said goodbye, and Jinyang was able to deal with it, and his mood was as annoying as the rain outside the window.
After being sent out of the door, Jin Yang looked at the back of Xiao Suo, who was gradually moving away, and a wave of reluctance and sadness surged up, filling her chest, rushing straight into her eyes, her clear eyes were also like a rainy day, covered with a layer of mist, after all, she mustered up the courage, quickly caught up with Xu Zhen, and reached out to drag his cuffs.
"The big liar... Come back alive..."His voice was like a mosquito, and his feelings were also shy, Xu Zhen turned around slightly, and saw that this little girl was buried in her head, still repeating these words in a whisper, and her heart couldn't help but warm, and finally regardless of etiquette, she stretched out her hand and touched Jin Yang's head gently.
Jin Yang closed his eyes slightly, immersed in the warmth of Xu Zhen's slender and wide palm, the rain was fluttering, and the moment seemed to be eternal, thinking about the rare courage for a while, if it was a dream, don't wake up again.
But the warmth soon left her hair and cheeks, and without a word, the big liar walked into the rain.
Jin Yang raised his head suddenly, not knowing whether his vision was blurred or the person's back was blurred, an impulse surged up and shouted towards the far side of the street: "Come back alive!" ”
The man seemed to be aware of it, but he didn't look back, just turned his back to Jinyang, pretended to wave his hand to say goodbye, and waited until the corner of the street, but secretly wiped his face and scolded in a low voice: "This annoying autumn rain!" ”
The injuries on his body have not yet healed, if it weren't for Hou Po's capture of Duan Zan secretly provoking, and Gao Zhensheng taking advantage of the situation to persecute him, how could Xu Zhen be willing to rush to the front line again?
The brothers calmed down, and Zhang Jiunian woke up, and immediately understood that they were disturbed by grief that night, and they hated Gao Zhensheng and others more and more, but they became more and more loyal to Xu Zhen, because they all knew in their hearts that if they couldn't follow Xu Zhen with all their hearts, they would definitely not be able to survive this war.
In October, the clouds were overwhelming, the sky was not high, the autumn was not cool, Xu Zhen led six hundred headquarters light horses, stepped on the mud to the north, and only after Zhangye did he order the brothers to put on a set of Tugu Hun Ah Chai's military uniforms, but the inside was secretly lined with light and thin leather armor.
Xu Zhen and Zhang Jiunian's fourteen brothers were still wearing red armor, plus Xue Dayi and Qin Guang, dressed as prisoners of war, and were escorted by Yinzong and Gao Heshu and other tribal heroes, all the way to Ganzhou City.
At noon, the clouds dissipate, the sunlight is just right, the tide gradually disappears, the cool breeze is restored, the scenery along the way is very good, there is not only the scenery on the plug, but also the fertileness of the south of the Yangtze River, the straight teaching people are relaxed and happy.
"People don't look at the snow on the top of Qilian Mountain, and mistakenly take Ganzhou as Jiangnan, don't deceive me!" Xu Zhen sighed from the bottom of his heart, a flat river in front of him, although it was close to early winter, it could be seen to be verdant, and a mountain range in the distance was like a dragon and a crouching tiger, towering and broad, and it stretched people's hearts a lot.
Xue Dayi saw that everyone had never seen this beautiful scene, so he pointed to the distant mountain range with a horsewhip and explained: "This name is called Longtou Mountain, it is rumored that the ancient dragon is entrenched here, stretching for hundreds of miles, covering a square circle, there are many fairy mushrooms in the mountains, there is no lack of birds and beasts, there are mineral veins in the south of the mountain, rich in miscanthus and silver, it is said that there is also a blessed land of the Immortal Cave Mansion, it is really a beautiful Shenjun Treasure Mountain!" ”
When the soldiers heard this, they were also amazed, and they were vigilant along the way, for fear of encountering wild captives, but at this time they finally had a moment of relaxation and suddenly felt more relaxed.
However, he only relaxed a little half, and the Rouran scout turned back from the front, reporting that there was an enemy in front of him, it was a Tuyuhun squad, roughly numbering fifty, but it was detaining prisoners and dragging several large carts of baggage, which was really suspicious.
When the brothers heard that there was a wild captive, and that they had only fifty people, their hearts suddenly ignited a fire of revenge, and one by one they were about to wipe out this team!
Xu Zhen frowned unconsciously, he didn't pity the fifty Ah Chai, the war is always brutal, the two armies are fighting, although the soldiers are innocent, but it is either you die or I die, it is not the wisdom of the blank teeth, but the decapitation of the head and bloodshed, the mercy to the enemy, is the cruelty to himself, he can no longer watch his brothers die tragically.
The reason why I am worried is that I am worried that my disguise will be exposed, and besides, even if these prisoners are saved, what should I do? Once these prisoners fall into the hands of the enemy again, won't their own military aircraft be exposed?
Now that the decision has been made, Xu Zhen hurriedly instructed the brothers to slow down, and only brought a hundred people to check on it, and when they arrived at the hiding place of the scouts, they saw a team of Ah Chai cursing and scolding in Turkic language, and beating those prisoners from time to time.
The brothers' eyes were on fire one by one, and the indignation in their hearts was difficult to suppress, but Xu Zhen was as calm as a rock, he secretly gritted his teeth, but in fact, he couldn't help fighting in his heart.
I wanted to wait for this team to pass, and then I ordered the brothers to continue the march, but the enemy army in front of them stopped, thinking that it was a little rest.
Among those prisoners, there were many female streamers, and the firewood had long been unable to hold back, and when they saw that the ranks had stopped, they began to laugh loudly and evilly, wanting to commit that despicable bestiality!
"That's it! If you stand by and watch your compatriots suffer in order to find a solution, what is the point of winning this battle? Xu Zhen had no murderous intentions, but he was completely enraged by Ah Chai's actions, and with a wave of his hand, Brother Bailai suddenly killed him!
This small group of firewood unstabbed the horses and released the horses, defenseless, and the brothers of Xu Zhenbu were already angry, and at this time they were dressed as wild soldiers, the other party was unaware of it, and they also opened their greetings, and the convoy was scattered by the Xu Zhen brothers in a round of impact, and it turned back and there was another round of slashing, and only three or two leaders were left, lying on the ground half-dead, squeaking and wailing in pain.
Seeing that the battle was resolved instantly, the brothers felt that they were not satisfied, and saw that the prisoners took advantage of the chaos to escape, and one by one they were recaptured.
Without Xu Zhen's orders, Gao Heshu and Yinzong tortured the three or two leaders, and it turned out that this team turned out to be the logistics soldiers of the Ashina tribe of King Tuyuhun, who followed the example of Murong and plundered them everywhere.
In order to conceal the strategy of crossing the world, but there happened to be an impostor, Li Dai Taozhuang, who was originally going to disguise himself as the remnants of the Murong Ministry, and was worried that he would be recognized, but now he pretended to be the logistics captivity team of the Ashina Ministry, which is even more vivid.
After those prisoners were caught, they hugged each other one by one, showing that Xu Zhen and others were treated as firewood for infighting, and the grassland tribe was said to be able to fight each other with swords for a sheep, and now the troops have besieged Ganzhou for a long time, the materials are not continued, and there are many scrambles among the tribal soldiers, and Xu Zhen's team has changed their costumes, no wonder these prisoners are so frightened.
Xu Zhen wanted to let go of these prisoners, but it inevitably aroused suspicion, and after a glance, he saw a middle-aged man in the prisoner crowd, his face was calm, not shocked or disturbed, and he was secretly looking at Xu Zhenbu's brothers, his eyes were full of wisdom.
Xu Zhen dismounted and came, and used the tip of the knife to pick up the covered kudzu cloth on the car, but inside was a layer of moisture-proof sedge mat, and then lifted the mat, and saw a layer of hay again, and the layers were so well protected, Xu Zhen couldn't help but be surprised, and he was very curious.
When I peeled the onion and opened the package, I saw that the brown-red sand in the car turned out to be dansha!
Xu Zhen was taken aback, and ordered the brothers to open all the carts of three or four, and the things they carried were all alchemical things such as miscanthus salt, cinnabar, gypsum, and sulfur!
Seeing this situation, Xu Zhen was no longer reserved, his goal was extremely clear, he walked in front of the middle-aged man, drew his knife and asked coercively: "Who are you waiting for!" ”
The middle-aged man raised his head slightly, the crown belt had long been lost, only the dignified bun remained, and the three long wisps of beard were quite fashionable with the fairy style of Dao bones, and when he heard Xu Zhen speak Tang language, he became more and more sure of his conjecture in his heart, and felt that Xu Zhen's people and horses were soft bones who had taken refuge in the wild captives, and they didn't bother to answer a few words at all.
Zhou Cang was most unaccustomed to seeing the literati's high self-confidence, and seeing that the man was silent and did not answer, he hurriedly stepped forward to catch him, and scolded with spittle: "Good dog slave!" If you dare not reply to my father-in-law's question, believe it or not, I will cut you five, six or seven paragraphs! ”
The middle-aged Taoist sneered to himself, but a young man next to him was filled with righteous indignation, and slammed into Zhou Cang's arms obliquely, and scolded in his mouth: "What a group of shameless traitors, who have been captured by the feudal barbarians, degraded and civilized, but have spoiled our compatriots and fellow villagers, we would rather die than answer you half a word!" ”
Zhou Cang saw that this kid was so strong that he wanted to fight with him, but he just knocked him to the ground, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
Zhang Jiunian had already deduced from the things in the car, and seeing the smile on the corner of Xu Zhen's mouth, he became more and more sure of his conjecture, and asked in a low voice: "The Lord knows this person?" ”
Xu Zhen smiled slightly: "I don't know this person, but I know the mastermind behind this person!" ”
When the middle-aged Taoist saw Xu Zhen laughing, his heart suddenly sank, as if the secret in his heart had been seen through, and he was about to make up some words, but he heard the rumbling of hooves, and more than 400 brothers in the Yongwu Battalion all wore scimitars and came behind Xu Zhen.
Xue Dayi and Qin Guang were the leaders, and the former saw the middle-aged Taoist, hurriedly rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and stepped forward to salute and asked: "In front of the Taishi Bureau (note) will Shilang Li Langjun!" ”
(Note: The Taishi Bureau is the Taishi Order, the name of the Tang official, the palm observes astronomy, checks the number of calendars, where the changes of the sun, moon and stars, the difference in the appearance of the wind and clouds, then leads its officials and subordinates to occupy it, everyone can guess who this Li Daoren is?) )
