"The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river!" At the end of the day's journey, Chen Fei looked at the fiery red sun behind him and sang.

Then he dismounted, shouted at Fan Jiang, Tian Qiu and Yin Ping, and took out a kettle from his luggage and smiled mysteriously.

"It's just a pot of water, and the smile is so mysterious." Fan Jiang said disdainfully. Last night at the oasis, they all took the opportunity to replenish the water source, so there was no shortage of water at all.

"Cut! I don't know! Don't come to me later. Chen Fei held the kettle and opened it carefully, and suddenly, a strong aroma of wine wafted out of the kettle, constantly stimulating the fragile nerves of the four people present.

"! This is... Wine? What a fragrant wine! What wine! Fan Jiang couldn't help it immediately, his eyes stared at the kettle in Chen Fei's hand, and he kept swallowing saliva in his throat, obviously greedy.

Chen Fei smiled proudly: "That's right, this is the one I brought from home, soaked in bayberry, absolutely good wine!" You've never drunk it! ”

As he spoke, he took a sip proudly and cheaply, and the greedy people around him kept dripping.

"Hey, don't stare at me, you said it yourself just now." Chen Fei looked at Fan Jiang and said with a smile, then turned to Yin Ping and said, "There is still a skin bag immediately, and there is a pot of wine in it, take it out and drink it together." ”

Fan Jiang couldn't help but stand up immediately, pushed Yin Ping, who was about to stand up, back to the ground, and went to the horse to find the leather bag containing the wine first.

Tian Qiu, Chen Fei laughed happily when he saw Fan Jiang's impatient appearance, and after a while, Fan Jiang came back with the wine, and the four of them divided two pots of wine, and the bayberry wine with a special sweet and sour taste won unanimous praise from everyone.

The four of them drank until they all drank high, maybe there was not much pressure in their hearts, the emptiness of the desert was particularly suitable for venting, and the four of them yelled and screamed after drinking too much, obviously they seemed a little tired and crooked, and they were not afraid of attracting bandits.

However, even if some bandits found them, they probably didn't dare to approach when they saw a group of Tang troops.

The next day, he went on the road drunk with the strength of alcohol, got the scout report, and when he was about to return to Yumen Pass, Chen Fei finally sobered up a little, he hurriedly ordered to stop the march, stationed in place, and called Tian Qiu and others to discuss.

"We can't go back to Yumen Pass yet." Chen Fei made a conclusion directly.

Tian Qiu didn't react, and said in surprise: "Why? Where else can we go if we don't go to Yumen Pass? ”

"Stupid!" Chen Fei glared at Tian Qiu, "Do you think we can bring these important human and physical evidence back to Yumen Pass?" Tang Tai is obviously not a good thing, who knows what he will do? What's more, it has now been determined that Tang Tai is related to the Cult of Our Lady, although we don't know what their purpose is, but our actions must not be in their hands, otherwise it will be too dangerous! ”

"But where else can we go if we don't go back to Yumen Pass?" Tian Qiu asked.

Chen Fei thought for a while and spit out two words: "Dunhuang!" ”

"Dunhuang? Why go to Dunhuang? Don't you suspect that Cao Ming also has a problem? Fan Jiang wondered.

Chen Fei thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I think Cao Ming should be fine." First, when we were in Dunhuang, he did not do anything unfavorable to us, and second, his official position was higher than mine, but he had to come to deliberately scold me, carefully probing the rumors in the court, and the topics we talked about were all the doorways of officialdom, from which it can be seen that he should not have colluded with the Church of the Virgin, otherwise he would not be so concerned about how to be promoted.

Taking a step back, we don't have anywhere else to go but Dunhuang now, do we? ”

Fan Jiang and Tian Qiu glanced at each other and nodded helplessly.

"Since there is no opinion, then why don't we adjust the route, march at night, bypass the Yumen Pass, and go to Dunhuang!"

....................

Yumen Pass, Tang Tai Mansion.

Wang Quan walked around the hall uneasily, looking like he was burning his buttocks, and from time to time he would glance at Tang Tai, who was sitting on the high hall leisurely drinking tea soup, sighed heavily, and then... Keep going in circles......

After turning for a long time, Wang Quan finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward and asked, "My lord!" When is this, why are you still in the mood to drink tea soup? It's almost burning eyebrows! Our drug storage is only the last day's supply, after today, tomorrow those who are controlled by the drug will go crazy if they can't take the medicine, including you and me! ”

Wang Quan was anxious to burn his eyebrows, but Tang Tai was the opposite, not in a hurry at all, leisurely picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea soup, tasted a sigh of relief, squinted his eyes, and looked extremely comfortable.

"What's the hurry? If the situation is really out of control in the end, then it should be the sect leader who is anxious, not you and me, what are you worried about? What's the use of you being in a hurry now? If there is no medicine, there is no medicine, and you and I can't change it. ”

Wang Quan said anxiously: "But the adults ......"

"Okay, don't do it anymore, didn't you notice that the sect leader has not been there for the past few days? Why do you think he went? It's just to get the medicine! If something is so big, he has to bear a lot of responsibility, so he told me as early as the night of the incident, let us sit in Yumen Pass to preside over the situation, and he will find a way to deal with the drug, so ah, don't worry, do what you have to do, if you are in a hurry, you can't do anything well, add to the chaos! ”

After Tang Tai finished speaking, he took another sip of tea from the bowl, and then took out a small packet of medicine from his sleeve and put it on the table. "The sect leader won't be away for too long, he will be back in about two days, there is a little medicine here, I deducted it privately, you eat it first, just survive these two days." Others can mess up, but we can't mess up, otherwise it's really messy. ”

Wang Quan hurriedly took the medicinal powder and hid it in his sleeve, but his brows were still furrowed.

"What's wrong? What else is going on? ”

"My lord, if it's tomorrow......."

Tang Tai stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the table, "You and I are still the parents of Yumen Pass, I have military power and you have political power, if we can't even handle this little thing well, what use does the church want us?" ”

Military power? Regime? Wang Quan was shocked, looked at Tang Tai and blurted out, "My lord, are you trying to ......?"

Tang Tai put down the tea lid, raised his eyelids and glanced at Wang Quan: "Otherwise?" What do you think the church values us? Not yet military power and regime? When necessary, we must use the necessary means, otherwise what is the value of the two of us? Wang Quan, once the road is chosen, there is no turning back, let's... Resign yourself to your fate. ”

Wang Quan's face was bitter for a long time, he sighed, nodded bitterly, and turned away. When he was about to walk to the door, he was suddenly stopped by Tang Tai again.

"Wait! Suddenly remembered, did Tian Qiu arrange to go out with Chen Fei? Did he send any information during this time? ”
