It's dusk again.

It's still that beautiful dusk.

Ashina Harrier Eagle was busy for a long time, and then prepared the food and added wine.

Then I sat down.

Lao Xu is now sitting opposite her.

"Brother Xu, what is your real name?"

Lao Xu paused, thought for a while, and then smiled.

"My name is a little simple, I used to be in the Central Plains, I couldn't eat enough, I couldn't dress warmly, let alone any culture, so ah, my father took a grain, Xu Youliang, I hope that the family will have food."

Ashina's fingers shook slightly, then smiled and pulled down his sideburns.

"It used to be like this, hehe, now it seems that Ling Zun's wish can be regarded as a success, Brother Xu, you are now rich, food and status."

Lao Xu's brows jumped, the wine in his hand paused in his hand, and after half a ring, he smiled slightly.

"You know everything?"

There is loneliness in the eyes of Ashina Harrier Eagle, and there is also the same as letting go.

"yes, got it."

"When did you find out?"

"I'll go to Gaochang after that. At that time, it was really certain. You know, I've raised a golden eagle all my life, and it's not particularly difficult to stop a harrier eagle that delivers a message. Although I don't know the content of your Yin Talisman, I can guess some of it, and besides, that thing flew into Gaochang City. ”

Lao Xu also shook his head helplessly, who would believe that a woman, in order to chase a harrier eagle, actually brought nineteen horsemen from Broken Leaf City and went directly to Gaochang!

"So, they can all go, but I can't."

Ashina Harrier Eagle also smiled.

"It's not that you can't go, it's that you won't go, even if you pass, don't you have to think about coming back? In that case, why should I leave you for a while, so that you will not be allowed to travel this part of the journey? Besides, I have something to ask of you. ”‘

Lao Xu was a little inexplicable, he turned his head and took a look.

"Please?"

"Yes, please."

"What do you ask me for?"

"Please help!"

Lao Xu was even more puzzled, his brows furrowed and wrinkled, but Ashina Harrier Eagle still looked at Lao Xu so seriously.

"Help?"

"yes, help."

"Harrier Eagle, I really don't understand this, with your ability, even if you can't stay in the Western Regions, you can go anywhere in this world."

Ashina Harrier Eagle hung his head and pondered for a while.

"Indeed, I am alone, if I want to go, I can go at any time, but I can't go, the tribe has long decided, if the attack on Tang fails, it will go west, at that time, it will only be strong young people and women who will be taken away, and it is impossible for those old and weak to follow the military guards to the west."

"So?"

"Oh, so, ah, I need to stay. They have served our Ashina family for so long, and there must be someone to provide them with a little protection. I only hope that when the time comes, Brother Xu, you will be able to stand up and plead for Harrier Eagle on the little affection you had in the past, if you want to kill, please kill Ashina Harrier Eagle, beg him, let go of our poor people, they don't understand anything, they won't hate the Tang Dynasty, they won't think about revenge in the future, a group of foolish people, why bother to open the butcher's knife, isn't it? ”

Lao Xu froze in place, his fingers rubbed gently like Liu Xu, his brows wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and his scar was constantly beating.

"Do you know where the prisoners of war of the Tang Dynasty will go?"

After half a ring, Lao Xu was a little relieved and took a sip of wine.

"Naturally, Harrier Eagle knows, in your Datang territory, roads are being built everywhere now, and these prisoners of war are estimated to go there."

Lao Xu nodded.

"Not bad."

He really wanted to say that dying on the construction site is not much different from dying here, it is really not cost-effective for you to change your life like this, but, as a Tang Dynastyman, he can only sigh in the end.

"Brother Xu is trying to say that those people may still die on the way you build the road? Are you trying to say that even if I swap my life out, it's still useless? ”

Lao Xu smiled bitterly, this woman is still very smart.

"Actually, you're wrong."

Old Xu was stunned.

"Am I wrong?"

"yes, you're wrong."

Lao Xu didn't understand it again, and he found that he seemed to be very stupid today.

"Datang wants those prisoners of war to help build roads, at least give them a bite to eat, right?"

Lao Xu nodded.

"Yes, there will be no less mouthful, but those who eat are just some gruel, with some pickles in it, and even minced meat."

Ashina Harrier Eagle was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

"You say, there's minced meat in there?"

Lao Xu nodded in amazement.

"Naturally, there is, the workers work hard, don't put some meat, where does the strength come from."

But the Ashina Harrier Eagle suddenly seemed to see their god of the steppe, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing.

"I knew that my choice would always be right."

Lao Xu can't understand it again, if he can't understand it, he can only drink, he knows that Ashina Harrier Eagle will explain it to himself very clearly today.

"Brother Xu, you are a person who is used to living a good life."

Ashina Harrier Eagle suddenly said like this, and then Lao Xu was stunned, he was used to living a good life?

"Hehe, Brother Xu, you have been here in the Western Regions for almost ten years, don't you know what kind of life the people of the Western Regions are living? Plant a little poor food, the harvest is good, so you can hold on for a while, the harvest is not good, if you are robbed by sand thieves again, where can you live your life? You Datang always say that we will go south to plunder, but don't you know that if we don't do this, we will starve to death. Every year, when the green and yellow are not harvested, the people gnaw the bark of the trees and the grass, at that time, where is the person, even the animal is not as good! At that time of the year, the people in the family are like picking the sheep under the ewes, and those sick and weak sheep will be abandoned alive, do you know what choice we have in the desert and grassland?

First of all, food is to be given to the young and middle-aged, because they are our source of food, and if something happens to them, we will all starve to death, and secondly, it is to be distributed to the young men, because they are our next generation, and if they die, our race will also perish! And then, then the woman, and finally, those who are immobile, will starve to death, and even if they do not starve, if there is really no food, they will walk slowly, far away, to a place far away from the herd, and then they will stare at it, and wait for God to take them in, and either starve to death, or be bitten to death by the wolves.

This is our grassland and desert, this is a place where if you are weaker, you will really die, you say, there is only gruel in Datang? Hehe, gruel is better than turf, right? Those days are simply the days of the kingdom of the gods, our people in the grassland and the desert are all able to work hard, as long as there is gruel to drink every day, they will work hard, they will be better than many men, they will live tenaciously, they will. This is simply a gift from God, Brother Xu, please, you must help me beg your grandfather, I know, he is a capable person, as long as he agrees, I will accept any conditions, okay? ”

Lao Xu also sat there in a daze.

Ashina Harrier Eagle is right, since he entered the mansion, his good life, it does seem to be too much, before, there was no complete pair of pants, lice and fleas crawled everywhere on the body, hungry, can only be next to each other, tied with a belt, no more, sell children and daughters, eat Guanyin soil, gnaw tree bark, they have also done it!

Even now, there are many places in Datang, but it's not the same? How many of those guys who refuse to come out in the mountains are not like this? Lao Xu also understood, he leaned weakly against the pillar and sighed long.

"It's useless for me to promise, if you didn't say that, I almost forgot that I was the same person who came here back then, our Datang, if there was no grandfather of our family, even now, people who starve to death are still common. My old Xu is the same, if it weren't for my grandfather, I wouldn't have known where I died. This is the accumulation of virtue in the previous life, I have to repay our grandfather!

Harrier Eagle, if you want to take my Lao Xu's life, I can give it to you, but if you want me to ask for this for you, Lao Xu, I really can't do it, not to mention anything else, just protect the foreigners, those people in the court, give the impeachment of the grandfather a crime of colluding with foreigners, this is a big crime of the Yi people, how can I accept it? You are your Turkic princess, and you naturally know how powerful the disputes in the court are. How many grievances has Grandpa suffered for us over the years? If I'm still like this, am I still a person?

So, get up, I really can't do anything about this. ”

After Lao Xu finished speaking, he poured wine again and again.

Ashina Harrier Eagle seemed to have lost her strength all of a sudden, and her plan was about to fail.

After the coalition forces retreated, could these people really not survive?

Because Lu Dongzan attacked Liu Xu, Goguryeo is still killing people.

Then the million-strong army of the Western Regions Alliance attacked Liu Xu, if they attacked, would these people still have a way to live?

was buried alive by Liu Xu's military guards?

Ashina Harrier Eagle trembled when he thought of this.

But what can she do?

If you run with them, you will definitely not be able to run, those old and weak will not even be able to get out of the desert!

She suddenly felt a sense of despair, she grew up, she didn't rely on her family, she fought herself, fought with the sky, and fought with her life. She was never afraid.

But at the moment, she was scared. Because she's a good leader.

Lao Xu's heart is not hard, in his life, he has killed countless people, he kills people, and he doesn't even blink his eyes.

But it seems that there is always a problem with the people who have entered the Liu Mansion. I can't see someone like Ashina Harrier Eagle, showing her expression.

The Liu family respects heroes and women!

Lao Xu walked several times irritably before he stomped his feet fiercely.

"Let's go!"

Before Lao Xu could speak, Ashina Harrier Eagle spoke again.

"Let's go? Where to go? ”

"Anywhere, watch them go west and complete your mission. Or, find a place to hide, your grandfather, should be able to call soon. ”

Lao Xu squeezed his fist, and then snorted.

"And then? What about you? Waiting for death here, with a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, desperately facing our grandfather? Eggs touching stones? Suicide? ”

Ashina Harrier Eagle smiled bitterly.

"Not really. What can it be? ”

"Phew! That's a real fool! Grandpa often said that in the world, including the emperor, no one's life is more expensive than other people's gold. There's only one of them! If you can live, you have to live well! Those who accept their fate are fools!

I tell you, what I say below, you alone, remember it well. Our grandfather, the grievances are clear, there is no right or wrong in the war, what the grandfather wants to kill is not your group of old, weak, sick and disabled, but those who are about to fight, they die, they deserve it, who let them go against our Tang Dynasty?

What is Datang, it is an eagle and a dragon! The whole world is not the king's land, and those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! This is our Datang, and anyone who opposes our Datang will not have a good end!

It's not arrogant, it's strong, it's pride. The pride of the Tang people does not allow anyone to blaspheme!

So, if they offend the Dragon's Scales, they deserve to die! If they try to rob the dragon, they shouldn't be left in the world!

But you are different, they are just ants, when have you ever seen a dragon angry at an ant? As long as the ants are not so annoying and unwilling to take a bite of dragon meat, they won't die!

However, they will not remain a group and survive intact as you hope.

They will be assigned, assigned to different places, this one will build roads, that one will build bridges, that one will raise pigs, and maybe the other one will raise sheep. As long as your people are competitive and obedient enough, they will live well! ”

After Lao Xu finished speaking, he felt that he had made a big mistake, and stabbed his arm fiercely.

"Grandpa treats me like a mountain, but I reveal his information to a foreigner, hehe! My old Xu really deserves to die! ”

He looked at his bleeding arm, then closed his eyes.

"Of course, if you want to have more bargaining chips to intercede with my grandfather, you can send someone to send those sand thieves to the west, and if you persuade your brother to withdraw his army and retreat west, I think..."

Lao Xu didn't finish talking anymore, his blood was flowing more and more, among the retainers of the mansion, he felt that he was the most sorry for Liu Xu, he used to be in the South China Sea, he almost committed suicide in shame, and now, it seems that the dog still can't change eating shit, a person like him should have died a long time ago, why should he continue to harm the grandfather?

He dodged Ashina's harrier eagle's move to bandage his wounds, opened the door, looked at the sun that had completely set, let out a long breath, and then let out a long roar.

"Hahuer, you wait for Lao Tzu! Let's compare with him, whoever is fucking late to Julan, whoever fucking is a grandson! ”
