Text 191 On the banks of the Peacock River

Bai Suni didn't show much shock at least on the surface, and as for what happened in his heart, Li Hong didn't bother to guess.

"Hehe, in the end, I didn't expect that it was my least beloved daughter who saved me, thank you to His Royal Highness the Prince." Bai Suni looked up to the sky and sighed, but in any case, going to Chang'an in this life is much stronger than being like a slave here but in this life.

watched Li Hong's subordinates help others tie and treat the bloody wounds on their wrists and ankles, but there was no one in front of him to help.

Shook his head helplessly and smiled, it seems that Bai Chun has a very important status in the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince, helping others to tie up wounds, but turning a blind eye to the wounds on his wrists and ankles, I think he is punishing himself for Bai Chun.

After an old woman was tied up with a wound, she was cautious, and moved Bai Suni to her side in small steps in fear, looked at the faint smile on Li Hong's face, and was not angry because of her arrival, so she dared to ask for some trauma medicine and began to help Bai Suni clean and tie the wound.

"What are you going to do with him? Or leave it to me? Li Hong glanced at Zeluo and asked Bai Sunizhi.

Bai Suni's old and cloudy eyes raised, glanced at Zeluo, with a trace of helplessness on his face, and said: "In any case, he is a member of the Qiuzi Kingdom, although in the end he betrayed his king, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let him continue to live, so why bother the old man, the king of the dead country." ”

"The country may not be, the state can't be called a tribe, it's just a tribe in my Datang, Qiuzi is called a country and a state, and I don't have that qualification, because every inch of land here belongs to Datang, so ...... You don't have to be emotional, let alone think that one day you will be able to dominate this land. Bai Chun saved you, you don't have to thank me. For Bai Chun's sake, let's also see if God gives him a chance. Heavenless, put it on. After Li Hong finished speaking, he got up and walked out.

After hearing Li Hong's words, Wutian looked at the shackles in the hands of the soldiers, waved his hand and motioned for them all to come.

Zeluo's eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked at so many shackles with some horror, he knew that if the expectation was good, these would be hung on him.

Sure enough, before he could resist, several soldiers rushed forward and took the lead in putting the handcuffs and shackles on, so that he could not resist.

The next step is to put it on layer by layer, but it can't be set, so it is hung on the neck and shoulders respectively.

More than forty pairs of shackles on his hands and feet suddenly hung heavily on Zeluo's body, and Zeluo was already pressed to the point that he couldn't stand upright, couldn't lift his arms, and even his legs, it was very difficult to lift them up once.

The blood vessels in Zeluo's neck were clearly visible, and his forehead was also exposed, and he shouted with all his strength: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't do this to me, I am a hero of the Tang Dynasty, and I am the general of Dingyuan on the fifth grade of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Hong had already walked outside the fence door, turned his head to look at Zeluo's body that had stood up with all his might, and said coldly: "I'm just warning you, my people's family, no one can be disrespectful to them, Bai Chun has served me for ten years, so as his master, I should help my people solve their troubles." Life and death are life and wealth, and whether you can return to Qiuzi alive depends on your luck. ”

As soon as Li Hong's voice fell, he saw a soldier walk out with a large wooden basin of cold water, and without saying a word, all his brains were poured on Zeluo's body, and suddenly Zeluo screamed again and again, and the water droplets on his hands and feet were suddenly condensed into ice, and hung coldly on Zeluo's body, so that Zeluo couldn't move.

The group returned along the original road, from the front of the big intersection to the south, you can bypass the Tankrakmakan Desert, to Khotan and other places, and to the north there are two roads, one is to Qiuci, and then west out of the Western Regions, the other is also the Silk Road west out of the Western Regions.

As a choke point and a military town, Yumen Pass guards all the routes on the three Silk Roads from east to west, and has become the only main road into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.

Before that, the fortress that entered the Central Plains had always been served by the ancient city of Loulan, but in view of the fact that the people of Loulan often served as lookout posts for the Xiongnu and other countries, the Tang Dynasty never trusted Loulan very much.

The Peacock River, as the only river that flows through Loulan, has not changed its course, and Loulan has been dredged and transformed through artificial means, hoping that the river will not be farther and farther away from Loulan.

After choosing the camping site, Bai Suni and the others had to marvel that the thousand people led by Li Hong, under the command of the two lawless and lawless generals, carried out all kinds of camping work in an orderly and fast manner.

The moonlight gradually climbed into the night sky, and the nine-thousand-year-old poplar forest, known as: 'living for 3,000 years without dying, dying for 3,000 years, and immortal for 3,000 years', stands tall in the cold wind, the wind blows, and the leaves that have not fallen clean in winter slowly drift down from the branches, and other plants such as red willow, saxon, and sand date trees, etc., cover up the night full of mystery.

Zeluo came down all the way, and he had already lost his human form, his hands and feet were covered with blood and ice slag on the cold shackles of his hands and feet, his face was pale and weak because of exhaustion, and his eyes were blank and dull.

"Let me go, Your Highness, please, let me go, I'm a hero of the Tang Dynasty." Zeluo, who was still at Li Hong's feet, begged in a low voice.

Li Hong looked at the place not far from the Peacock River, about 20 miles away, which was the ancient city of Loulan in the previous life, full of mystery.

"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass. The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. Li Hong ignored Zeluo's pleading, looked at the ancient city of Loulan that was invisible in the distance, and slowly read a few lines of poetry from Wang Changling, a poet who was not yet born in the Tang Dynasty.

He originally thought that Loulan had already disappeared, but he didn't expect that Loulan still existed during this period, and it was still very strong, and at the same time, it was secretly colluding with Tubo.

Just like when he was attached to the Xiongnu for a while, and then to the Han Dynasty, the guy who was like the grass on the wall could still live until now.

Today's Loulan is still engaged in the traditions left by her ancestors, openly attached to the Tang Dynasty, but secretly colluded with Tubo, becoming Tubo's eyeliner in the Tang Dynasty and a soldier of the Tang Dynasty.

If it weren't for the diversion of the river, I'm afraid Loulan would still be standing here, and the Taklamakan Desert in the previous life would not be much bigger than the current desert.

The massive felling of trees, coupled with the change of terrain, caused the desert to expand under the power of the wind, and eventually flooded the city of Loulan and became part of the sea of sand.

Zeluo was shackled and devoured with a bowl of leftover rice.

Bai Sunizhi's eyes flickered in the light of the firelight, and he looked at Zeluo who was squatting on the ground to eat, and Li Hong, who was sitting at the door of the camp tent and drinking grapes in a big fur coat.

"How is Bai Chun now?" Bai Suni asked, looking at the bandages tied around his wrists.

"She's fine, but don't worry, she won't hold a grudge against you." Li Hong walked to the fire, sat on the chair that Xiaoxue took out, stretched out his hands to bake the fire and replied.

"Yes, he should hate me, when her mother gave birth to her died shortly after, since then, some people think that she is an ominous daughter, she killed her mother, and I have been very cold to her because of my grief for her mother, within a few years, under the pressure of the clansmen, but also under the oppression of various forces, I had to send him to Datang, hoping to exchange her for the cavalry of Datang. The world is unpredictable, I didn't expect that before I could make the next plan, the craftsman we smuggled from Datang was discovered by you, and Bai Chun lost his freedom and became your slave. Bai Suni's gray hair was particularly conspicuous in the firelight, and her flushed old cheeks were full of memories.

"Does she know your real purpose in sending her to Datang?" Li Hong picked up a dead branch, stirred the small flame in front of him, and asked lightly.

"She doesn't know, she only knows that she is an ominous person in the country of Qiuci, because she is under siege by other countries in the country of Qiuci, she has not a word of complaint when she is sent away, and has even been plotting for the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty for Qiuci, in order to solve the plight of Qiuci." After Bai Suni finished speaking, he looked at Li Hong, and the fire in his amber eyes was flying.

"Oh...... So what do you need me to bring her? Li Hong looked at Bai Sunizhi, this kind of superior, even if he is already a prisoner, the dignity he should have must be retained, and he must die to save face and suffer crimes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really amazing, talented, and quick-witted, just now a poem is already a five-body throw that the old man admires, I don't want to talk a few words, His Royal Highness has understood the old man's thoughts, and the old man is ashamed." Bai Suni smiled bitterly, this young man is simply too smart, and he is too smart, if he can successfully inherit the throne of Datang in the future, Datang is probably a little stronger than now! I'm afraid that at that time, it will be the beginning of Datang's peak.

Li Hong ignored Bai Sunizhi's praise, smiled conceitedly, looked at Ze Luo, who had been eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, and said, "You can help me keep vigil tonight, if you don't freeze to death tomorrow, I will let you go." ”

As soon as Ze Luo heard Li Hong's words, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks that had been licked clean, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will guarantee to guard the door for you and not let you be disturbed in the slightest." ”

Li Hong smiled, looked at Bai Suni and Zeluo and glanced at each other, the enemy was very red when they met, but he couldn't guess what Bai Suni, who was old, was thinking at the moment. If you leave halfway through, press CTRL+D to save the current page to your favorites so you can watch it later!
