"Still want to change? My lord, we are already going to walk one more day, and this change, at least another day, this... Wouldn't it be too good? ”

"I think it's good to be unproductive." Chen Fei had an under-pumping expression, and when he opened his mouth, he was spitting. "You see, it's a very cost-effective thing to walk an extra day and avoid many possible accidents. Besides, I have enough supplies to sustain the day, and I don't have to worry about anything, so why not do it? Let's do it. ”

Tian Qiu...... Get! I can't talk about you! Isn't it okay to do that? Tian Qiu honestly replanned the route.

In fact, there is no so-called route in the desolate desert, as long as you go in one direction, but it is precisely because of this that it is very easy to go in the wrong direction and you have not realized it, so Tian Qiu still needs to notify the soldiers and send scouts to explore the road in front to ensure the unity of the front and back.

In order to avoid the reconnaissance of Yumen Pass and bypass Yumen Pass to Dunhuang, the marching time of the team is generally placed in the afternoon to midnight.

Moreover, Tian Qiu was familiar with the border defense situation of Yumen Pass, and could make reasonable use of the gap in the patrol to march, so after a day's journey, there was not a single living person in the vast desert except for themselves.

As for the captured captives, Chen Fei was also interested in asking at first, these captives refused to recruit them, and Chen Fei didn't bother to torture them, so he tied them up and took them on the road, only two meals a day, and dragged them along the way like dead dogs.

Fortunately, the distance they had to walk was not far, and on the night of the fifth day, they successfully bypassed the patrol range of the Yumen Pass, and the next morning they successfully entered the territory of the pass.

However, this time is the most unslackening time, you may not see a single figure after walking thousands of miles outside the pass, but it is different inside the pass, there may be caravans or people passing by at any time to find them.

In fact, it was nothing to find them, I was afraid that these merchants or ordinary people would spread the dynamic news of their march to the ears of Yumen Guan Tangtai.

So you have to be careful and careful in the next trip!

Chen Fei ordered everyone in the team to camp with shelter, and increased the number of people on duty.

In this way, they slept restlessly, and in the evening they went directly to Dunhuang, arriving early in the morning of the third day.

A hundred soldiers did not enter the city, to be on the safe side, these hundred soldiers plus thirty of their own troops and dozens of prisoners were all left behind a remote barren mountain outside the city to station, Chen Fei took Yin Ping, Fan Jiang, and ten soldiers into Dunhuang. And it was very low-key to enter Dunhuang.

After entering Dunhuang, the first thing Chen Fei did was to find a post house and write three long handwritten letters, which were entrusted to the messenger of the post house and the two soldiers under Fan Jiang.

Two of the soldiers each carried a token, bought two good horses in the market, disguised themselves as ordinary people, and set off from Dunhuang to Chang'an to deliver letters.

As for the letters sent by the courier, it is just a matter of multiple safeguards.

Chen Fei couldn't be sure if he was exposed to the eyes of the enemy now, so he had to take this conservative approach.

He didn't even think about going to Cao Ming.

Although in his opinion, Cao Ming should have nothing to do with the Church of Our Lady, but ...... Who can guarantee that there really is no relationship between the two? Maybe Cao Ming is the most scheming one?

Therefore, Chen Fei chose to keep a low profile after entering the city and turned into a member of the crowd, in short, he can't let others discover him, the more inconspicuous the better.

In addition to asking people to send letters to Chang'an, Chen Fei also pondered how to transport the prisoners back at hand. You can't keep Tian Qiu detained, right? His position is destined not to lead troops too far away from Yumen Pass, otherwise he will be punished for treason, so how to deal with this batch of prisoners is also a headache for Chen Fei at present.

"If you want to deal with this batch of captives, it seems that you can't do it without looking for Cao Ming, there are too many people, if there is no Tian Qiu, these people on my hand will not be enough at all." Chen Fei felt a huge headache.

On the one hand, he didn't want to come into contact with Cao Ming, and on the other hand, he had a group of prisoners to deal with. This feeling is really addictive.

"Forget it, what should be faced still has to be faced, I'd better go and see Cao Ming, it's better to say some things clearly in person, Brother Yin, if Cao Ming has bad intentions, help me subdue him!"

"Good!" The steel knife in Yin Ping's hand was eager to try. Fan Jiang.........

Originally, Cao Ming was handling government affairs in the government, and when he heard the report from his subordinates that Chen Fei was visiting, he was immediately surprised. Secretly said that this guy was not arranged by His Majesty to go to Yumen Pass, why did he come to Dunhuang so quickly? Could it be that he was recalled by His Majesty again?

Suddenly, an indescribable sense of envy rose in his heart, and he said in his heart that this Chen Fei is really favored, how long has he been in Yumen Pass? Within half a month, it was actually recalled? The punishment is like a joke.

Envy is envy, he still quickly sorted out his clothes and went out to meet Chen Fei.

It's just that when I saw Chen Fei, I was taken aback.

Why? Because...... Chen Fei and the few people behind him were too sloppy.

His face and clothes were all stained with yellow sand, and at first glance, he thought that he was called Hanako who had just been dug out of the yellow sand pit.

But the only difference was that Chen Fei's eyes were very bright, and they flashed with a cunning light, which made Cao Ming know that this kid was far from being as simple as he saw. I'm afraid the city government is no worse than his officialdom for more than ten years.

"Lord Chen? How did you become like this after not seeing you for a few days? Cao Ming stepped forward and walked up and down in front of Chen Fei in surprise, looking up and down, left and right, and his exaggerated acting skills immediately amused Chen Fei.

"Haha, it's hard to say, Lord Cao, this is not the place to talk, how about we go in and talk?"

Cao Ming patted his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, this is indeed not the place to talk, let's go in and talk, Lord Chen, please, come here!" Prepare sake! ”

The two entered the hall and soon served food and drink. Because it was impossible to tell whether Cao Ming was related to the Holy Mother Sect, Chen Fei was indifferent to the delicious food at this table, and only took a sip of wine, and did not eat much else.

Fan Jiang and Yin Ping were the same, the three of them didn't move their chopsticks at all, they just stared at Cao Ming with a smile, Cao Ming... I suddenly felt uncomfortable. Put down the chopsticks and smiled: "Uh... Lord Chen, but the food here doesn't satisfy you? Or? I ask the cook to make another one? ”

"No, no, no." Chen Fei waved his hand again and again, looked at Cao Ming with a smile, and said, "Master Cao, Chen came here today, but he actually had something to ask. ”

Cao Ming's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly felt that something was unusual.

"I don't know, sir... What do you want to ask? ”

Chen Fei leaned forward and said with a smile: "Lord Cao, I don't know if you are familiar with Tang Tai of the Jade Gate Pass?" ”
