Yang Chong is recuperating in Lijing County, inspecting the customs of Lijing County, where there are indeed many blonde and blue-eyed Lijing whites who speak Greek; Hundreds of years have passed, and they can't tell the origin of their ancestors, but the weapons passed down from generation to generation still allow Yang Chong to open his eyes and relive the scenes he saw in the movie. It has been a few years since I came to the Sui Dynasty, and many memories of modern society have been blurred, and the images that can be recalled are all happy processes.

The double-edged sword made of iron weighs about two catties, and the head is sharp, which is suitable for piercing; The hilt of the sword is made of wood, bone, ivory, etc.; The rectangular shield is made of three wooden planks overlapped, covered with leather, and strengthened with L-shaped metal fittings; Helmets made of wolfskin, leather armor of chains, or leather armor of fish scales, not much different from the leather armor of the Turks.

After Yang Chong finished reading the weapons, he instructed Tie Le to find a way to select fifty such whites to join the escort team, and then he walked around the county town with Zhang Guolao with great interest. Lijing County is a transit station for ore, the traffic is busy, the river is endless, the ancient city part is obviously European architectural style, minarets, octagonal houses, each residence is independent, just like a small villa, is the appearance of a lot uglier; Hearing that Yu Shinan had arrived, Yang Chong immediately rushed back to the branch of the Hexi Commercial Bank.

The branch of Hexi Commercial Bank is a newly built mansion, between the ancient city and the military wall, the area is huge, the wall courtyard is high, like a small castle, with the first height of the whole area, and it is heavily guarded all year round. When Yang Chong walked into the garden, Yu Shinan was already leaning comfortably on the recliner, reading Jiang Fei's recorded "The Story of the Rivers and Lakes"; In fact, it is some modern martial arts that Yang Chong memorized at home and when he was chatting after drinking, a plot or a more complete story.

Because Jiang Fei and Zhang Guo are both martial arts people, Yang Chong basically said martial arts stories, omitting all the content of modern society and taboo things in the Sui Dynasty, and there are many chapters that I can't remember, and most of the plots seem intermittent, but Jiang Fei still likes it very much and specially recorded it. Yu Shinan saw Yang Chong, held up the book and said: "Yang Chong, these stories are very well written, and the themes are written in a unique style, it is really a pity for you to be an official." ”

Yang Chong smiled bitterly: "More than one person has told me this, the problem is that I am not an official, and I can't even save my own life." ”

Yu Shinan sat up straight and asked, "So, are you going to Jiangdu?" ”

Scholars like to get to the bottom of things, Yang Chong didn't want to be bored, so he took the initiative to say: "General Yu goes, isn't it the same as me going?" If it is really a discussion, it is nothing more than asking Hexi to send troops and money, General Yu may be able to save a little for Hexi, his qualifications are there, there are some things to say, and he can also say them. I can't do it, so I can only agree to it, but it will increase the burden on the officials and people below. ”

What Yang Chong said was all crooked, but Yu Shinan knew one thing, if Yang Chong went, he would really be able to give his life if he didn't get it, it would be better to live in Zhangye's day, as the saying goes, it's better to die than to live. Yu Shinan said, "You have to think about the consequences", and then said nothing, bowed his head to read the book, and waited for a feast in the evening; Yang Chong sat down opposite Yu Shinan and said, "Lord Yu, are you going to go back to Jiangdu with Yu Zhongwen, or are you going to stay in Zhangye?" ”

Yu Shinan raised his head from the book and said disapprerovingly: "I will definitely return to Jiangdu." ”

Yang Chong sighed and said: "There is a lot of turmoil in the Central Plains, one day, if you have difficulties, you can come to Zhangye to find me at any time." ”

Yu Shinan was suddenly a little surprised, the Central Plains is now in chaos, but when the Eastern Expeditionary Army begins to sweep away the thieves, I am afraid that it will take less than half a year to calm the beacons in various places; As for himself, the Son of Heaven is a close minister, an official residence, and a powerful elder brother Yu Shiji, what other difficulties can he have to find Yang Chong. Yu Shinan was about to smile so as not to be embarrassed, when he suddenly remembered something and said: "Manager Yang, there is really such a thing, maybe you can help, if it is true, it will also be good for you." ”

Yang Chong originally hoped that in the future, after the death of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yu Wenhua would kill Yu Shiji, and Yu Shinan would better defect to himself, but he didn't expect Yu Shinan to have a problem now, and hurriedly said: "Lord Yu, please speak." ”

Yu Shinan thought for a while and said: "Do you know that he is a fellow party of Yang Xuangan, my clansman, and he ran away halfway to Jiangdu, I know that he and Xin'an Ling Xin Dade are friends of life and death, and they are likely to be hiding in Dongyang County, if you have a way, you can save him and Kong Yingda to Hexi." You and the Son of Heaven are about to turn their faces, and they won't scruple about this, Yu Yu is talented, and it will definitely help you. ”

Yang Chong thanked Yu Shinan, and arranged for someone to notify Tianqi and Peng Moyun who were lurking in the Central Plains. Yang Chong's current route for transporting displaced people has been cut off by Chang'an, but the secret channel is still there; Peng Moyun's public identity is the owner of a small commercial house in Xingzhou, specializing in selling tea and illegal salt, and traveling to and from Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Hexi and other places.

When Peng Moyun entered Dongyang, Shandong with five of his subordinates, he found Yu Xuan, changed his name to Wu Zhang, and when he was fighting for land with others, he was recognized and denounced, and he was put in prison with Xin Dade. Peng Moyun spent money to inquire and learned that the two would be sent to Jiangdu, so he waited halfway, and the fifteen soldiers who were escorted in the hotel with sweat medicine and numbness rescued the two and fled to Xingzhou, and then disguised themselves as a caravan and went to Hexi with three carts of tea and porcelain.

The caravan bypasses Taiyuan from the road between Yangzhi County and Zhoushan in the north, which is located between Xinding and Jinzhong, with many mountains and few rivers, ravines and ravines, known as the north gate of Taiyuan, and is a place where soldiers must fight, and the guard general Yin Dianming is an old friend of Shi Daqian, and has been secretly in contact with Hexi, and the smuggling channel is not strictly investigated. After arriving in Yulin, Peng Moyun sold tea and porcelain from familiar Turkic merchants, bought war horses, and immediately left the city, galloping wildly, and came to a rogue cottage.

A group of people stayed in the cottage for three days before waiting for the cavalry who came to meet them, and Peng Moyun followed them until Helan Mountain; Yu Yu and the two were very strange, the cavalry in Hexi seemed to be crisscrossing the grassland without hindrance, and Jiang Duo, who greeted the two, said with a smile: "The officers and troops in Taiyuan dare not care, Hedong is in a big battle, lest we find a reason to kill them; The Turks spent money, and the Turks knew that we only needed passages, not pastures. ”

Yu Xuan saw that Fang Yanzao was full of tears, the two of them and Yang Xuangan were friends of cloth, and they were both wanted as the same party, and now they had fled to Hexi, Fang Yanzao comforted Yu Xuan and said: "Mr. Yang is a promising young man, and he is better than Zhixuangan, and the two of you will definitely be able to show your ambitions." ”

Xin Dade sighed: "If nothing else, even if Manager Yang sent thousands of miles to save us, it is not something that ordinary people can do, otherwise Yu Yu and I may have already landed in Jiangdu." Such great favors are difficult to repay. ”

Fang Yanzao understood as soon as he heard that the two had seen Yang Chong's ability, and they were afraid that they had already discussed taking refuge in private, so they only talked about Fengyue, introduced the situation in Hexi, and asked Shi Motian to escort the two to Wuwei the next day.
