This tall man deliberately wore an official robe, as if he was going to some very formal occasion. He and the third princess Siqing went out of the village one after the other, and went east first, according to the old road, they had to go to Chiting first to guard and capture, and then there would be a way to the north.

Siqing was very anxious. She was afraid that once this tall man repented, with the martial arts of two people, she would never be able to fight him. As soon as he thought of this, he was secretly afraid, and urged Gao Jun to go quickly.

At first, the tall man really kept yelling at the donkey to go quickly. However, the donkey was already lame and old, and when he walked, his hind legs played a side drum from time to time. Gao Jun was in a hurry, the donkey simply turned a deaf ear to the shouting, you shouted yours, I will go mine, and the tall man was bumped on the donkey's back.

Originally, they would have been able to go to Chiting in half a day to guard and capture, but this time the two of them walked down, seeing that the sun was overhead, and ten percent of the way was only three or four percent.

Later, Gao Jun couldn't bear to make the donkey very hard, so he simply rolled up the blanket on the donkey's buttocks, held the treasure knife in his arms, touched the handle of the knife with his hand, and pretended to be asleep with half-squinted eyes.

In this way, the extremely rhythmic bumps turned into a great pleasure to relax during the journey, Gao Jun occasionally peeked at the anxious appearance of the third princess riding on horseback, and couldn't help but secretly laugh, and became more and more unanxious. The donkey was tired of walking, and he lowered his head to gnaw on the grass on the side of the road, but he didn't care.

Seeing that he was asleep, Siqing had the heart to pull out a knife and give it to him, but after trying a few times, he didn't react at all, and seemed to be really asleep. I felt that it was not good, people had already promised to go north with me, and I was honest along the way, and I couldn't say anything about doing it myself.

This Princess Siqing is not bad-hearted, unlike her two elder brothers, who are forced to go out with them occasionally. She can be regarded as the first beauty in the Jieli Department, otherwise Simo Khan would not have been the first to think of her when considering candidates to go to Chang'an.

At noon, Gao Jun rested the donkey, let go of the reins and let it eat some grass at will, and untied the dry food package himself, spread a blanket on the ground, and ate it with water. Siqing then remembered that no one had prepared these things for herself when she came out, so she had to sit down not far from Gao Jun and look at the distance in a daze.

She regretted coming to Liu Zhongmu a little, thinking about it, the second brother was really a little innocent as Gao Jun said, he usually took pleasure in robbing the Tang people, and he didn't listen to his own persuasion.

Gao Jun handed two pieces of dry food and a water bag to her, she didn't care about whether it was poisonous or not, and ate it in a big gulp, based on his observation of this surnamed Gao in the past two days, he must not have disdained to do such a poisonous thing.

The two ate dry food and continued to walk, without saying anything along the way, and finally caught Chiting when it was dark. The deputy envoy of Gao Rang on Tucheng saw Gao Jun, and immediately went down to Tucheng to welcome the two in, and when he saw that the woman who came with Gao Jun was so familiar, he couldn't remember it for a while, so he asked, "Brother, what about the little lady last time?" Why did you change people in so many days? ”

Gao Jun hurriedly said, "General Gao, you misunderstood, that was my little lady last time, isn't this really me, can't you recognize her?" Isn't it the last time I came to the village to grab food for chickens and ducks, and she was among them. ”

After listening to Gao Jun's honest words, Siqing's face turned red, and she couldn't find anything to refute. When Gao Rang heard this, his hand touched the handle of the knife on his waist. Gao Jun hurriedly said, "Brother Gao is not busy, in fact, I only said half of what I said, and she also let those people coerce her last time, which was really not her intention." Gao Jun had seen her embarrassment.

When I arrived at Chiting to guard and capture, it was like arriving at home, General Gao was entertained with good wine and food, eating and drinking with Gao Jun, and arranged a room for the two of them in Tucheng, "Brother, I can only stay for one night, and I have already lived in a group of merchants who have gone west, and I can't go back every night." ”

Gao Jun said, "It's already good, and I don't know how many nights I will live in the open in the future." ”

Gao Rang asked, "How did you two get together, shouldn't you go to the desert?" Gao Jun said that it was exact, and Gao Rang didn't ask anymore. Looking at the donkey that the tall man rode over, he was very puzzled.

The room is not big, only one bed. As soon as Gao Jun came in, he shook off the blanket on the ground, closed his clothes and lay on the ground, and after a while, he came out with a loud sound. Siqing saw that he gave up the bed to himself, and he couldn't be polite, so he slept politely. So he went to bed, pulled the quilt on the bed, threw his two scimitars on the ground, and closed his eyes. Maybe it was because she was tired for the past two days, and she quickly fell asleep.

The next day, the two continued to walk, intending to go faster, but the donkey's lame legs were even more inconvenient when they reached the sandy ground. Take a step, and the leg that is not good at the rope will raise a cloud of sand. Gao Jun only rode it for half a day before he couldn't bear it, so he simply got down by himself in the afternoon and led it underground.

Siqing was riding on a horse, and he was afraid of leaving Gao Jun behind, wasn't that what he wanted? It's really better to walk if it's slow, so she also got off the horse and walked together. In this way, there are more opportunities to speak.

Gao Jun said, "It turns out that you will also blush, and you are the same as my wife." I know that only good-hearted people blush because they know what is right and what is wrong. ”

Listening to Gao Jun's first half of the sentence, Siqing was angry, because he compared himself to his wife. But in the second half of the sentence, he was praising himself again, so he couldn't get angry. remembered that Gao Jun played a round for himself in the Tucheng of the Tang Dynasty, and he felt that he shouldn't be angry.

Gao Jun asked, "What's your name?" We can't just talk on the road these days, right? How can they love and love each other like enemies? Isn't it surprising! Tell me what it's called, and I'll have something to ask you. ”

Siqing said, "What about telling you, my name is Siqing, and the Simo Khan of the Jieli Department is my eldest brother, and it is my second brother who died at your hands." She felt that the hatred in her heart had finally gathered.

"Oh, Si...... Is it sunny on a sunny day, or is it a love of friendship...... Or do the horses miss the green grass in spring? ”

"It's a sunny day." She thought, what is this, can you ask me why I can't answer, otherwise I won't seem afraid of you.

Gao Jun asked, "Siqing, our Jiaohe Ranch has been in trouble for the past two days, first someone poisoned it, and then someone went in in the middle of the night and stabbed the horses, is this the one from your Jieli Department doing it?" I think that's what you do. ”

Siqing said angrily, "No matter how bad things are put on the head of our Jieli Ministry, I don't see that all the good people in your ranch are good, and the person who escaped to our Jieli Department to be the deputy prime minister, I don't think he is a good person." ”

"So you're saying I'm not a bad person anymore?" Siqing couldn't answer, so she had to not speak, Gao Jun said, "With your second brother's style, it was sooner or later that something happened to him, and he killed himself." Siqing still couldn't answer, and he had said what he had said to his second brother many times. It's just that he is the only one talking for half a day, and it seems that he seems to be teaching him a lesson, thinking about how to turn the situation back.

When it was dark, the two of them finally arrived at the sand dunes last time, Gao Jun was busy picking up some hay and the old dead sea buckthorn branches in the desert to start a fire, Siqing just watched, waiting for the fire to start. Gao Jun folded the blanket in half, threw it on the ground and said, "Half spread and half cover, use it for you." ”

The two men lay their animals on either side of the fire to keep them out of the wind, but Gao Jun just didn't have a blanket, but it wasn't too cold. In the middle of the night, the fire was a little extinguished, and Siqing saw Gao Jun get up and pick up branches, and began to re-examine him in her heart.

It can be seen that this is an upright person, and his ability is also above his two brothers, and it can also be seen that he has a good relationship with his wives. What kind of man is he? With only about 20 people, they dared to go deep into the circle of influence of their Jieli Department to herd cattle, and they were able to get out of the way.

You must know that there are more than 1,000 heavily armed horse teams, as long as a person with common sense will look at each other. After thinking about it for a long night, Siqing's sleep was also delayed, and when she woke up in the morning, she was in a hurry to get up. At this time, she smelled the smell of roasted meat, and Gao Jun handed half of the roasted hare to her, "Eat it, let's hurry." ”

After walking for another half a day, the two of them saw a large group of people rising from under the sand dunes in the distance, most of them walking on the ground, looking exhausted. Gao Jun took a closer look and recognized that a person was Wang Yunda, with a purple whip mark on his face.

Gao Jun greeted him and hugged his fists, "Master Gao, fortunately, fortunately, it is really a place in life where we don't meet, we met again in this desolate place!" ”

Looking at their appearance, Gao Jun had already guessed a rough idea. Knowing that they also came out to the wild herd, let people rob it. Eager to know the specific loss of Jiaohe Mu, Gao Jun asked, "How many horses did Lord Wang bring out this time?" ”

Wang Yunda was very ashamed in his heart, and only said "three hundred," and stopped talking. Lord Wang's exhausted subordinates saw the two talking, and just sat down on the ground, grabbing time to rest.

This time, Lord Wang brought them, and there was nothing wrong for the first two days. Lord Wang told a joke about burning an ox's tail for cooking, and these people made a big laugh. Unexpectedly, he then met the horse team of the Jieli people. Hundreds of people, blowing like a whirlwind, surrounded in all directions, bows full of strings, so that people can't even run.

Not only did all the horses be snatched away, but people were all humiliated by the family, and Lord Wang wanted to be strong, but he also got a whip.

"Yikes! So much? It's a pity...... Connected twice, plus this one...... And you 100 people have ridden, and you have made up enough of 500, it seems that Jiaohe Mu has to be lowered by one level! ”

Gao Jun asked again, "Lord Wang, tell me, who did it, is it Jieli Department?" If you have the chance, you must ask them for justice! Gao Jun's words were mostly from the heart, but in the sound of Deputy Pastoral Supervisor Wang, it seemed sarcastic.

On the "Stable Pastoral Order", even an adult cow and horse are not allowed to be killed, and the order says: "Official and private horses and cattle are of great use." Cattle are the foundation of farming, and horses are far away for the army, so the killer is in prison for a year and a half, "This time he lost three hundred horses at once, what punishment awaits him?"

Lord Wang is unlucky, but he doesn't want to lose face too much in front of this tall man, and he doesn't want him to be entangled in this matter, so he just asks, "Where are you going?" ”

Gao Jun said, "I have been captured by Miss Siqing, the princess of the Jieli Ministry, and now I am being escorted to the Jieli Ministry. ”

Wang Yunda saw that he was serious, and he mentioned that the princess of the Jieli Department must be the woman in front of him, and she had no objection to Gao Jun's words. If it was true, it was hard for him to say it so easily.

Wang Yunda pouted and said, "You let a woman be captured, and you said to seek justice for me!" Don't leave it at that, if you can come back with your whole body like us, I'm afraid you will have to burn incense! ”

Looking at the figures of these people who were dragged away, Gao Jun said to Siqing, "The Jieli Department really won't do anything else if it is separated from robbery, and if you continue to do this, I think even your eldest brother will be choked!" ”

Siqing was not convinced, "Your ranches are not all like you, just look at those of them who have just passed." ”

Gao Jun was a little surprised, "How can you say that!" I thought you were a good person, but did you deserve to be robbed when you met a weak one? Can I rob you now? ”

Siqing said, "That's not what I meant...... Actually, I've long been dissatisfied with what my two brothers did, but what can I do! Who will listen to me. ”

Gao Jun didn't want to say anything more, he believed the princess's words. In the evening, the two talked and walked, but the distance was not close. The two of them were about to find another place to spend the night, when they suddenly heard a child's miserable cry, and Gao Jun's ears immediately stood up, and he stretched his neck to look around.

He didn't care about Siqing, jumped off the donkey and ran in the direction of the cry, and after a while, he shouted over there, "Lead the donkey!" ”

Siqing hurriedly led the horse and donkey over, and on the sand in the twilight, a person was lying on his stomach, covered in blood, and a child a few years old was poking his head out under him and crying, his nose and mouth were full of sand, and his voice was hoarse.

Gao Jun said to Siqing, "They met a wolf. "Half a wooden stick was thrown on the sand not far away, and in the distance there was a dripping bloodstain that stretched into the distance, which had been buried intermittently by the wind and sand.

The two of them leaned down and pulled away the man who was lying on his stomach, and saw that he was in his fifties, his chest socket was hot and breathing, but his legs had been bitten off. Gao Jun pried open his closed teeth and fed water into it, and then slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he looked for the child, and saw that he was holding a young woman in his arms, so he was relieved, closed his eyes again, and rested for a while before holding on to salute the two.

“…… Immortal Heaven will definitely bless you two with a long life, and where there is grassland, there will be cattle and sheep in common with you...... Bless the children and grandchildren that both of you have together in all ...... Land ......"

Siqing said shyly, "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”
