In the eighth year of Tianbao, on the morning of the ninth day of the fifth month, in the Suye River Valley, the green grass is deep and the water is surging.

Outside the city, the rich and long smell of green grass and the chirping of cicadas remind merchants and travelers from south to north that the most beautiful early summer season in the river region has arrived.

But at this time, what the merchants are most concerned about is by no means the change of season. Around Shattered Leaf City, the dense military camps and light horses coming and going like the wind remind people that war is coming!

The road from Broken Leaf City to the west has been blocked by the Tang army, allowing merchants returning from Zhaowu Jiu to pass through, but forbidding caravans from leaving Broken Leaf City and heading west.

The blockade of the road to the west has caused the two cities of Broken Leaf City to be deformed and prosperous. Merchants from different places and speaking different languages gathered in Shattered Leaf City to trade and buy and sell.

Judging from the market alone, trade on the eve of the Great War was even more prosperous than usual. The strange connection between war and trade is always breathtaking.

In the Broken Leaf City, on Honghu Street, which was built in imitation of Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, Wang Fei rode Chiyanhua and galloped excitedly.

Behind him, two maidens with hats and maids, one white and one yellow, rode two horses, one white and one yellow, and followed closely.

Around Wang Fei, dozens of Beiting tooth soldiers who were draped and armed to the teeth were clustered. The person in command is Wang Yong, who has a tense expression and is in a state of imminent battle.

Returning to Broken Leaf City again, Wang Fei felt that his mood was particularly peculiar and mysterious.

The reason for his crossing was to visit the ruins of Shattered Leaf City in Tokmak. And at the beginning of the crossing, the first Tang City he saw was Broken Leaves.

Outside the Broken Leaf City, he encountered the assassination of Wang Peizhong and the abduction of the Great Cannibal, witnessed the war scenes of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, met the little princess Ayitengna and Anice, and read the eternal sorrow hidden behind the majestic Dayun Temple......

It can be said that Broken Leaf City is the starting point of Wang Fei's journey and the beginning of all stories.

For Broken Leaf City, Wang Fei had an indescribable and unclear feeling in his heart. He even secretly speculated whether there was a faint line of fate that closely linked him to this famous city in the river.

Wang Fei didn't mind the fetters of fate if there was nothing, and was even a little happy. It's just that at this moment, he doesn't know what kind of twists and turns and excitement the end of the bond will be.

While galloping and his thoughts were flying, Wang Fei couldn't help but secretly glance back.

His first glance fell on Ayitengna, who was riding a Su Ye Bi. Revisiting her homeland, Ayitengna's mood is particularly complicated. While she tried her best to keep her head down to avoid being noticed, she couldn't help but want to look around at the familiar and unfamiliar homeland.

Seeing Ayitengna so entangled, Wang Fei couldn't help but regret a little in his heart. Shouldn't she agree to her request to accompany the army to the west? After the country is ruined, how cruel and torturous is it to set foot in a home that does not belong to you again? Probably only the sentence of Li Houzhu's "carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed", which can describe one or two.

However, Wang Fei quickly shook his head and denied Fang Cai's idea. Aitenga was so smart, she must have anticipated the mental torment of returning to Broken Leaves. But she is still so obsessed with going out with the army, because she is too concerned about the safety of her brother Kudulu.

Fortunately, all the way west, the news from the soldiers and horses in the North Court was quite reassuring to her. Even Wang Fei never thought that Kudulu, who had left Tingzhou City with a disgraced face, would launch the old army of the Raid Cavalry in just a few months, raise the golden wolf flag in the Suye River Valley, and let go of a big fight.

When Du Huan relayed the accusations of the Gelulu Leaf Protector of the Black Mountain and the Shatuo Leaf Protector of the Bone for the escape of the Tuqi Shi slaves, Wang Fei saw that a proud smile flashed in the crescent-like eyes of Aitengana.

And in the dead of night, Wang Fei also heard Ayi Tenggena sigh several times.

Wang Fei couldn't help but get up and chat with her every time, helping her analyze the situation faced by Kudulu to relieve her brother's pain.

Generally speaking, Wang Fei's persuasion was very effective. After all, Kudulu is now in command of thousands of men, and the room for choice and space for maneuvering is much larger than before, and the situation is getting better and better. Therefore, after listening to Wang Fei's repeated analysis, Ayi Tenggena will be in a smooth mood and sleep peacefully.

But sometimes, the more Wang Fei analyzed, the more uncomfortable Ayi Tenggena became, and she often sobbed for a long time before stopping.

Wang Fei thought that she had said something wrong, which made her frightened for Kudulu. But I don't understand, Aitengana is worried, what if on the battlefield, Kudulu and Xiaolangjun meet again? And her little caution was ashamed to confess to Wang Fei......

"Even if you endure a lot of torture, you want to be as close to your relatives as possible, which is probably the bond of family affection." Wang Fei thought of the pain that Aitenggena had endured after returning to the broken leaves, and sighed secretly.

And Ayitengna's choice also made him realize that no matter what kind of time and space, what haunts him the most is always the slightest wisp of affection.

Thinking of this, Wang Fei's second glance fell on Ashina Xiaoyun riding a white horse. Dressed in a Yahuan costume, she is naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, unkempt and unkempt, not to mention just changing a few not so gorgeous clothes?

Thousands of miles to the west, Wang Fei's happiest thing is to have Ashina Xiaoyun all the way. After arriving in Broken Leaf City, he suddenly remembered that before the crossing, the purpose of his coming to Kyrgyzstan was to vacation with Xiaoyu.

Now, after going round and round and traveling through a thousand years, it seems that the original goal can be achieved in an unexpected and strange form. The miracle of fate once again made Wang Fei sigh with emotion......

The destination of Wang Fei and his entourage was the newly opened Ruyiju branch in the eastern city of Broken Leaf City.

The soldiers and horses of Beiting camped in the north of Broken Leaf City, and Wang Fei, Ayi Tenggena, Ashina Xiaoyun, Tong Luo Puli and Ainise all lived in the barracks. Su Sanniang and Ashina Wenxia followed Ruyi to live in Broken Leaf City.

This morning, Wang Fei was accompanying Ashina Xiaoyun and Ayi Tenggena at the gate of the barracks to overlook Broken Leaf City, but saw Wang Yong with dozens of soldiers and hurriedly about to leave the camp.

Wang Fei stepped forward to inquire curiously, only to learn that the warriors of Ruyiju sent by Su Shisanniang had sent a message, saying that the detective had heard some very important information and asked Wang Yong to enter the city for a while.

Regarding Ruyiju's so-called "westward expansion", Wang Fei is also full of doubts. Along the way, Ruyiju did leave some people in Gongyue City, did some business, and built a semicolon.

But from the chat with Ashina Wenxia, Wang Fei noticed that Ruyiju's attention to inquiring about intelligence far exceeded the development of business routes......

However, although she questioned what was hidden behind Ruyiju, Su Sanniang's gesture of actively sharing intelligence and helping the Beiting Army through Wang Yong made Wang Fei temporarily suppress her suspicions about Ruyiju.

"Farewell King, take me into the city with you!" Hearing that Wang Yong was about to enter the city, Ashina Xiaoyun, who was surrounded by, said excitedly: "I heard Brother Fei say that Broken Leaf City is built after the pattern of Chang'an City, and there is a Dayun Temple built for the princess of Jiaohe in the city, I want to go and see it." ”

Hearing the words "Dayun Temple", Wang Fei's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that Princess Najiaohe was also surnamed "Ashina......

"Xiao Langjun, Xiaoyun little lady wants to visit her sister." Wang Fei was pondering when he heard Aitengana whisper in his ear.

When Wang Fei looked up and saw Ashina's fingers wrapping around a strand of hair on her sideburns, she immediately understood that she was making excuses.

"In terms of lying and deceiving people, Xiaoyun is always inferior to her sister!" Wang Fei couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "However, disputes are disputes, Xiaoyun still cares about Sister Wenxia." ”

"Uncle Wang Yong, I also want to visit Sister Wenxia, why don't you take us with you!" Seeing that Wang Yong did not agree to Ashina Xiaoyun's request for a long time, Wang Fei decided to step forward to help.

"This?" Wang Yong hesitated, his gaze resting on Ayi Tenggna.

"Farewell King, I will wear a hat and will never be conspicuous." Ayitengna understood what Wang Yong was worried about.

So, Wang Fei and his entourage entered the city from the north gate of Broken Leaf City, bypassed the Xuanxi tent of the Qarlu people, and came to Honghu Street.

The north gate of Shattered Leaf City is now guarded by the soldiers and horses of the North Court and the Qarluqs. Although the Gelulu guards did not know Wang Yong, when they saw the respectful attitude of the Beiting army, they knew that Wang Yong and his party had a great background, so they did not dare to stop them.

When passing by the Xuanxi tent, Wang Fei and Ashina Xiaoyun both stopped and looked at them curiously.

After the Battle of Broken Leaves last year, when Wang Fei entered the city, the golden tent of the Turgish Khanate had been burned, and the Qarluqs had not yet entered the city to build teeth, so he had never seen the dark tent.

The broad and tall cowhide tent is all black, like a huge black-backed turtle. The black wolf flag hunting with the wind in front of the big tent seems to be guiding the black turtle to move forward through the clouds and waves.

"A little ugly ......" Ashina Xiaoyun, who loves bright colors such as white, is really not interested in the big tent of the Qarlu people: "If I were in charge of the Qarlu department, I would definitely build a big white tent with delicate sheepskin." It is decorated with various colors of silver fur, and from a distance, it looks like an ice carved jade. ”

When Ashina Xiaoyun was thinking about her big white tent, Wang Fei turned his head and looked at Ayi Tenggena with concern, and heard her eyes never want to turn to the big tent and said in a low voice: "Actually, the golden one is the most beautiful......

Wang Fei knew that Ayi Tenggana was in a bad mood, so he reached out and pulled the reins of Bai Lianju, signaling Ashina Xiaoyun to stop fantasizing and hurry up.

Ashina Xiaoyun thought that Wang Fei was afraid that Wang Yong would be anxious, so she naughtily pointed to the black wolf flag and said, "It's too ugly!" After that, he hurriedly urged Bai Lianju to move forward.

Wang Fei and others galloped from south to north on Honghu Street, and when they were about to turn left to go to Dongshi, a group of people and horses suddenly appeared on the opposite side, about 30 horses, the horses were vigorous, the armor was bright, and they brought up billowing smoke and dust on the street.

The current person, in his twenties, has curly hair and thick eyebrows, and his eyes are introverted, and he looks extraordinary.
