Starting from Qiuci City, go east along the Chihe River, bypass Puchanghai, which is the famous Lop Nur in later generations, and cross a small desert, which is the first pass outside the territory, Yangguan.

And across the day's journey, the opposite is the more prestigious Yumen Pass, after entering the customs is the Hexi Corridor, this area is the first oil base in New China in later generations, and what makes Liu Ji pay attention is that the first oil well here is dug out manually, only fifteen meters deep, in the area of Laojun Temple, at that time he also went to visit.

It's just that after thousands of years, in the absence of a reference, he can no longer find the direction at all, and the only thing that can make him compare is the Xiongguan that stands on the Gobi.

In later generations, due to the invasion of wind and sand, only some relics remained, but now it is the wall towering, the red flag is displayed, the yellow wall, and the surrounding environment are integrated, the only difference is that outside the pass is a piece of reclaimed acres, because this era, has not been completely desertified, an abundant river flows from the vicinity, it originates from the side of the corridor, Qilian Mountain.

Feng Hanyue followed curiously, watching Liu Ji knock and beat on the barren yellow earth, and even sometimes squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, sniffed under his nose, and sometimes dug with a short knife, it seemed that there was some treasure buried under the soil.

What made her curious was the man's attitude, his expression was focused and meticulous, she had never seen such a gorou, so much so that she couldn't bear to woo him, because, the man in this state exuded an extremely unique charm all over his body, which completely subverted her previous impression.

The two have known each other for nearly ten years, and in Feng Hanyue's eyes, Gorou is unruly, uninhibited, and even lonely, and he has always done things directly, without any scruples about the consequences, and has gone through countless disasters, so he has such a notoriety.

But she knew that there was a reason for all this, Feng Hanyue at this time didn't know what war trauma sequelae was, but she had seen it with her own eyes, and Gorou's shouting in his dream was extremely distressing.

Perhaps affected by the state of the master, Ahri is also digging in all directions, its sharp teeth are better than the short knife, and the soil in this area is relatively loose, a claw down is a big pit, it doesn't know what the master is looking for, he treats him as a fun, east and west and west, and never gets tired of it.

Since this is the case, Liu Ji didn't bother to dig it himself, and looked at the pits dug out by Ahri one by one, until he stopped in one place, Feng Hanyue looked left and right, and couldn't see how there was any difference between this and other pits.

Liu Ji picked up a handful of soil with a short knife, put it under his nose, and sniffed it gently, the smell from his nose made him seem to smell the sweetest nectar in the world, but in fact, it was a slightly pungent taste, and it could even be called "stinky".

That was the smell of crude oil, which was called the "bloodline of industry" in later generations, and it was also the closest taste to the later generations that he smelled in this time and space.

"Did you find it?" The girl's gentle and tactful tone is like smelling the sounds of heaven.

"Found it." Liu Ji nodded at her, the excitement was overflowing, and it also infected the girl's heart.

"What it is, I smell it."

Without waiting for Liu Ji to say anything, she stepped forward and sniffed the short knife, the strange smell made her frown, her small mouth pursed, and her big smart eyes flickered, which was indescribably cute.

Liu Ji threw away the short knife, put one hand around her waist, and one hand held her head, the breath emanating from the girl's body was sweet and charming, so he couldn't help but kiss it, but he didn't expect that it was cold.

"Gorou, do you think of me as one of them?" Feng Hanyue covered his lips with her hand and said tremblingly.

Liu Ji realized his abruptness, this is not the future generation, even after becoming a relative, public intimacy is not tolerated by the world, even in the relatively open Tang Dynasty.

His lips slowly left the small, slender white hand, and the sixteen-year-old's body was so full of hormones that he sometimes couldn't figure out whether it was his own will or some kind of instinct.

However, it is a very clear feeling that I don't want to hurt this girl.

"Goro, I'm not ......" The girl thought he was angry and hurriedly distinguished, but unexpectedly, Liu Ji made a silent gesture and gagged her words into her mouth.

"Shh

In the girl's astonished gaze, Liu Ji listened quietly, and the sound of horses' hooves was quick and fast, and Ahri was more alert than him, and had already pricked up his ears, and his amber eyes turned to the direction where the sound came.

The sound of hooves approached, Liu Ji stood up suddenly, protected the girl behind him, Feng Hanyue picked up the short knife on the ground, and held it in his hand upside down, without the slightest fear on his face.

"It's the old ones."

Liu Ji's eyes were good, he first saw a few beating red tassels from afar, followed by Xu Guangjing's iconic big face, he did not relax his vigilance, because the expression on the other party's face was clearly a little anxious.

can make the veteran who has been in battle for a long time change his color, there must be something going on in front of him, and soon, Xu Guangjing and his entourage saw their figures, hurriedly reined in their horses and jumped down, panting and pointing behind them.

"Three miles ahead, a large group of horse thieves, at least three hundred."

Liu Ji's eyes lit up: "Coming to us?" ”

Xu Guangjing shook his head: "It looks like the situation is chasing a man and a woman, but the direction is towards us." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, take the document of the Dadu Protectorate, and the whole army retreats into the Yumen Pass."

Liu Ji immediately decided, no matter what happened in front, he first had to ensure the safety of the family members in the team, fortunately it was very close to the Yumen Pass here, he took the sergeant of Qianfangshu to break off, and the servants of the Liu Mansion and the Fengfu guarded more than a dozen large and small carriages, retreated all the way, and soon approached the wall, and the defenders of Guanzhong who had already learned the news had opened the gate, and a general colonel led by a group of defenders was waiting outside the door, and it was also to prepare for the enemy.

"Yumen Town will cover Tinglun and welcome Fengjun's car."

Hearing the other party's registration, Liu Ji and the sergeants were stunned, because although this person had never met, he had already been famous.

Because he was the protagonist of the military song sung by the soldiers of the Tang Army when he reinforced the city of Kabiyero that day, and the author of the song was the famous Cen Shen.

After the family's carriage and horses entered the customs, Gai Tinglun greeted them and hugged his fists on the horse: "I don't know which one is Liu Guoyi?" ”

"General Gai, it's down there." Liu Ji also replied with a fist, the other party has the honorary title of General Zuotunwei, so it is generally called so.

Gai Tinglun didn't seem to expect that he would be so young, his face stagnated slightly, and then returned to normal.

"Jiuyang, please come in, this official has prepared a thin wine to wash the dust for you."

Liu Ji asked in surprise: "Horse thieves are raging outside the border, doesn't the general want to take care of it?" ”

Unexpectedly, Gai Tinglun shook his head, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "No matter how slack this official is, it is impossible to allow horse thieves to run rampant so far. ”

"What do you mean, there's something else going on?"

"Don't hide it from Guo Yi, they are not horse thieves, but the wealthy family in Beijing to capture fugitive slaves, you and I don't want to mix such things."

I see, Liu Ji asked eloquently: "The greetings are all here, but I don't know which Gaomen it is." ”

"Hongnong Yang's family."

Liu Ji's eyes shrank slightly, this name was really thunderous during the Tianbao years, what five surnames and seven doors, they all had to bow down in front of him, because the most favored woman in Tianzi today.

His surname is Yang.
