The cold wind from the north was still wrestling in the city, rolling up thousands of yellow sands.

There was silence in Kangju City, only countless pairs of eyes moved with the figure of the Great Eclipse Soldier. All the merchants, the common people, and the dancing girls cowered back into their rooms, fearing that the Great Cannibal would burst into a terrible rage when he was frustrated.

……

On the same day that Su Jia executed the Hongde host, the Great Buddha Temple was also burned down by the Great Food Soldiers. Immediately afterwards, Sujia ordered all the Buddhist temples in Kangguo to be demolished and the Great Food Sect Temple was built on the original site. Buddhist monks were either killed or forcibly returned to the laity.

Under Su Jia's cruel order, the people of Kangguo suffered, and those who did not want to believe in the Great Food Sect were either arrested or executed, and Kangguo suddenly became a pot of porridge.

Under such circumstances, many people hoped that the Tang people who entered Kangju City that day would be able to save them from fire and water. But these people seemed to have disappeared and were never heard from again.

Just when the people of the Tang Kingdom changed from hope to disappointment and then to despair, the Tang people suddenly had news again.

Kangju City is an oasis built in the desert Gobi, there are people's homes, there are cattle and sheep, and there is a pool of clear water to moisten the earth, the city has given birth to a piece of green sky, vibrant, chickens and dogs smell each other, like a paradise, here shows the calm desert style!

However, the desert in the storm is a different scene, the wind blows, the yellow sand dances with it, the whole sky becomes a stage for the yellow sand to rage, the tumbling yellow sand, with the strong wind, the sand dunes move, the fragile oasis trembles in the raging wind and sand, worried that the rolling sand dunes will drown themselves. In this way, a monsoon of sand has changed the terrain of the desert, but the restless sand and dust, with the wind that refuses to weaken, has been drifting into the distance.

On such days, the people of Kangguo generally do not go out, especially the men in Kangju City, who either stay in their homes and drink hot tea, or go to the wine shops and restaurants in the city.

People who go to restaurants don't exactly go to eat and drink, many people do it to inquire about news. Passing Sogdian merchants often stayed in the taverns and were among the most well-informed.

Jixiangju is a tavern, which is inconspicuous in Kangju City, but the table in the lobby is full of people at this time, and they are chatting about something.

A short, middle-aged man mysteriously said to another person at the same table, "You know? In just half a month, those Datang people have robbed and killed more than fifty lone Dashi soldiers! ”

A young man at the table next to them had sharp ears, and after listening to the words of the short middle-aged man, he poked his head out curiously and asked, "It is rumored outside that the black scorpion did it, how did it become those Tang Dynasty people again?" ”

"You know what?" The short middle-aged man glanced at the young man with disdain, and snorted: "Although the black scorpion is very famous, how can she kill so many big food soldiers in such a short period of time with her?" Besides, the black scorpion used to only take off men's pants, when did he feel sorry for the big cannibalism? After those Datang people came, there were big food soldiers who were constantly killed, saying that the black scorpion did it, but in fact, it was those Datang people behind it! ”

When the young man heard this, he was convinced: "Oh, so that's what happened! ”

"So what do you think?" The short middle-aged man had a smug look on his face.

A bearded Sogdian merchant was drinking alone, squinting at the short middle-aged man, who was very unaccustomed to the other party's self-righteousness, and interjected coldly: "Hmph, what you said is already outdated news, what is there to show here?" ”

The short middle-aged man was not happy when he heard it, and he was unconvinced: "I have outdated news, do you have the ability to say something that is not outdated?" ”

Most of the people in the tavern were good people, and they all looked at the bearded merchant.

The bearded merchant glanced at the short middle-aged man and said quietly: "Five taels of silver, if you haven't heard the news I said, you will lose me five taels of silver." What if you already know what I said, and I lose you five taels of silver? ”

"Okay, bet!" The short middle-aged man happily took out a silver ingot from his bosom and threw it on the table.

"Alright, you can be a witness!" The bearded merchant put down his wine glass, glanced at the crowd, and said slowly: "Three days ago, Su Jia, the commander of the Great Food Army, ......"

The young man who asked the question before couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the commander of the Great Food Army the Governor Qu Dibo?" When did it become Suga? ”

The bearded merchant, the short middle-aged man, and the tavern people who listened attentively with their ears pricked up, all looked at the young man with exasperation, and their eyes were full of disdain: how could such a childish question be asked?

Who in Kangju City didn't know that although the governor Qu Dibo was nominally the commander of the Great Food Army, he had actually been set up by Su Jia, and the power of the Great Food Army was already in Su Jia's hands.

Seeing this, the young man knew that he had made an inappropriate question to dislike everyone, so he stuck out his tongue, retracted his neck, and stopped making a sound.

The bearded merchant continued: "Su Jia was assassinated in the Shuai Mansion in Kangju City, although he was not killed, he was also wounded, and the guards in the Shuai Mansion were killed and twelve wounded. It is said that Su Jia was already frightened, and for the sake of safety, he moved to the big food camp outside the city overnight! ”

"Those Tang people did it, right?" The young man said elatedly.

The crowd once again cast disdainful glances at the young man, who simply turned his head away and stopped looking at the crowd.

"I've heard what you're talking about, is there any new news?" The short middle-aged man was unwilling to admit defeat and deliberately argued strongly.

"You've heard of it?" The bearded merchant looked at the others: "You are all witnesses, is he a cheater?" ”

Of course, the diners knew that the short middle-aged man was cheating, but in order to hear more news, they had to say in unison: "He is not cheating, what news do you have to say!" ”

The bearded merchant had no choice but to continue: "At noon the day before yesterday, those people attacked a baggage squad of the Great Food Army, and none of the 250 Great Food soldiers in charge of escorting were left, and they were all annihilated. All but the food was burned. ”

"Is this true?"

The news of the bearded businessman was so shocking that even the short middle-aged man who claimed to be well-informed couldn't help but widen his eyes.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty attacked the Great Eclipse in the name of the Black Scorpion before, mainly with the lone Great Eclipse soldiers, and it was unprecedented to annihilate more than 200 Great Eclipse soldiers at such a time.

The question arose in everyone's hearts, where are these people now? What's next for them?
