Faced with Lan Guitian's request, Qin Shi was silent. Now it is very dangerous to go to Yucheng, and if you are not careful, you will die there.

But Lan Guitian's attitude was very resolute, how could he live up to the entrustment of the Pao Ze brothers, and in the end, Qin Shi could only say: "You go and be more careful!" I will arrange for your mother to be sent to Jeju Island, so you don't have to worry. I'll write you a letter, Brother Yi Ming is there, you can go there first to inquire about the situation. ”

"Yes!" Lan Guitian bowed and replied.

At night in the Lan family, the old lady of the Lan family complained while packing her son's bags.

"The Qin family is really! My son has only been back for a day and is going to go on another expedition, and I won't let people rest. If you want me to say something! It doesn't matter if our family doesn't have the Changxing Army, we don't want those fields. You take your daughter-in-law over, wouldn't it be better for our mother-in-law to live a peaceful life? Lan said and looked at his son.

"Mother! Look at what you said, my son just went to Nanping Pass to deliver a letter. There will be nothing at all, if ...... In case of...... If your son can't come back, you can go to the north with the major general, where your grandson is waiting for you! Lan Guitian didn't dare to look at his mother's eyes, he was afraid that his mother would see something, so he turned his head to sort out his equipment as he spoke.

When Lan heard his son mention his grandson, his depressed expression just now was swept away. Instead, there was a smile on his face, and he didn't notice what his son had just said.

"I'll be back with a letter, and it won't take a few days. Go and come back quickly, don't make your mother wait too long. After Lan finished speaking, he stuffed a large piece of silver into his son's backpack.

"Mother! The son just sent a letter, and he didn't need so much silver! Lan Guitian hurriedly came up to stop it, this was the silver he gave to his mother.

Lan slapped his son's hand away and said, "What do you know! Poor families are rich, so it's good to bring more money to defend yourself. Be careful when eating outside, in case you eat something bad, it's hard to find Langzhong, and sleep ......"

In his mother's advice, Lan Guitian knelt down in front of his mother and said, "My son is not filial!" I can't do my filial piety by my mother's side, and when my son comes back, I will definitely accompany your old man! After speaking, he kowtowed again.

……

Nanping Pass has now become a barracks, and the merchants who used to go there are rare. Occasionally, a few foot merchants passed by with goods, and when Lan Guitian arrived here, he immediately went to the station of the white pole soldiers to find Qin Yiming.

After explaining his intentions, Qin Yiming shook his head for a while. After Fan Long occupied Yucheng, he strengthened the city defenses. The focus was on the renovation of Erlang Pass and Fotu Pass, and several company camps were built between the two passes.

If you want to enter Yucheng, you have to go through these two places, where the inspection of passing pedestrians is very strict, and you can't get in at all.

Lan Guitian put the equipment in Nanping Pass, only wore a cuirass in his clothes, and headed towards Yucheng.

He had already changed into the She costume that the Lan clan had prepared for him, dressed in black, with only blue lace on the cuffs and trouser cuffs.

In front of him, there is a yellow and blue pattern in the center, which is embroidered by Lan with a needle and a thread, which is a mother's love for her son.

This dress was originally intended to be worn by his son when he got married, but his son had already married, so the Lan family asked his son to take this set of clothes with him, and now it is just right to use, Lan Guitian put on She clothes and became a real She youth.

Behind him were four Dian horses, which were small in size, but their endurance was so good that they could not transport goods without them in Shu.

The She people are herders, and one of their main incomes is to sell horses. Lan Guitian took four Dian horses into the area controlled by the Great Liang army, and many of the farmhouses and dwellings on one side of the house were destroyed.

The fields were barren and uncultivated, and the weeds grew taller than the crops. Lan Guitian walked on the official road, looking left and right and didn't see any people.

As he was leading his horse forward, he saw a wooden village erected on the official road in front of him. The figures on the wall are shaking, and there are many people guarding here.

The establishment of the wooden village just blocked the official road, unless people can fly over the peaks on both sides, otherwise there is no possibility of passing.

The gate under the wooden village was opened, and more than a dozen Yi people patrolled back and forth. When they saw Lan Guitian coming from afar, they all put their hands on the steel knife at their waists.

"What for?" A Yi soldier asked in stiff Chinese.

Although Lan Guitian understood what this person said, he pretended to understand and said it in the She language.

Hearing the She language spoken by Lan Guitian, those soldiers obviously relaxed their vigilance. In their opinion, it should be the Han people who should be on guard.

For Lan Guitian, who was also a Yi person, they relaxed their vigilance, and they began to communicate in Yi dialect, slowing down their speech to Lan Guitian and saying, "Where are you going?" It's been cordoned off and no one is allowed to pass through! ”

Lan Guitian couldn't hold back the amusement in his heart, and even gestured and spoke with the She clan, finally letting the defenders understand his intention.

Lan Guitian said that he went to Yucheng to marry his engaged daughter-in-law, and the four horses behind him were the dowry.

Hearing that Lan Guitian was just alone, their eyes lit up. The Han Chinese in the neighborhood were either killed or scared away.

They have been confronting the white pole soldiers here for some days, and there is almost no oil and water in this place where the birds don't, and they can't compare with the Yi soldiers stationed in Yucheng.

They all heard that Yucheng was extremely wealthy. The Han people are also very cowardly, as long as the knife is shown, they will obediently send gold, silver and women.

These days, they all envy the Yi soldiers in the dead city, and finally met a fool who took the initiative to send them to the door, how can there be any reason to let go.

A Yi soldier glared at him and said, "People can pass, these horses are the city tax!" ”

Lan Guitian immediately said anxiously: "You don't have a city here, what kind of entry tax do you charge?" ”

"I said yes, hurry up and leave, and be slow to be careful of the steel knife!" Another Yi soldier pulled out half of the steel knife at his waist and glared at Lan Guitian with copper-bell-like eyes.

"You are robbers! I won't marry a daughter-in-law anymore, and I'll never come to Yucheng again! Lan Guitian snorted angrily, and he turned around to make a gesture of leaving.

"Want to go? It's late! You give it to me! Ha ha!! The Yi soldiers laughed and stopped Lan Guitian, grabbed the backpack on the horse's back and threw it on Lan Guitian.

Regardless of whether Lan Guitian was willing or not, he dragged him across the wooden village, laughed and turned around and left.

One of the Yi soldiers also laughed loudly and said, "When you come back, the exit tax will still be four horses." There are no horses to let your new daughter-in-law sleep with us! Ha ha!! ”

The arrogant voice was so angry that Lan Guitian was now scolding under the wooden village, only to hear "Whoosh! With the sound of an arrow, a crossbow arrow shot at Lan Guitian's feet.

Lan Guitian: "Mom! With a bang, he turned around and ran, making a few Yi soldiers laugh!
