Chapter 403: Water clouds fly back and forth

Two beacon smoke rose from the beacon tower near the Pengzhou Guan Group, and Fang Changyun did not dare to delay at all.

The beacon tower, every thirty miles or so, according to the visibility to arrange the specific distance, from the beacon fire in Jinchuan, to the Jili Prefecture Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan received the letter from the pigeon from the capital, it took only eleven hours, most of the time was wasted on the flight of the pigeon.

There was not much content in the letter, but it was said that the beacon fire and two smoke came from Jinchuan, which made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan think about what to do.

"Two cigarettes, not one to report safety, it seems that there is a little trouble over there, Tubo or Turkic?" Zhang Xiaobao understood the meaning of the two cigarettes.

There is a sentence in Du Fu's poem that is the desert is lonely and straight, which expresses not only desolation, but also a kind of remote memory of the meaning of peace in the distance.

Of course, there are many details in it, such as the length of time it burns, the time when the wolf smoke is usually lit, and there are many theories, otherwise it would not be the news from Jinchuan.

Wang Juan also seemed a little anxious, the speed of information transmission was fast, but that meant that it was transmitted from other places to the capital, not from the capital to other places.

And the news is not so specific, no one knows what exactly happened in Jinchuan.

Looking at Xiaobei and the others, who were still playing games with the new Zhang and Wang's guards, Wang Juan looked to the west and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Let's see what's going on first, don't be afraid, there are hundreds of thousands of slaves over there, and others can't fight for a while."

Could it be that the days of Tubo are getting more and more difficult, and finally I can't help but fight to the death? In that case, we will have to go again, Jinchuan's army must not let others command, in case anyone is in love, report to the imperial court, and move people to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said that he understood, don't look at the fact that he has been helping Li Longji do things now, and the relationship between them is good, but that is on the basis of the two of them restraining Li Longji at any time.

If Li Longji is in a bad mood one day, or suddenly makes a fool to deal with his two families, he needs Luzhou and Jinchuan to move at the same time, and military power is the right to speak.

It seemed that he felt that his brother and sister's mood was not very good, and Xiaobei, who was competing with the little guards of Zhang and Wang's families to see who caught more good things in the sea, stopped his movements, hurriedly swam to the shore, blinked his big eyes and came to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's approach, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you going home? Then come back to play in the future, it's okay, I can continue to train the guards when I go back, I fished a lot of sea intestines, go back and fry them. ”

Originally, it would be at least three days, but if you want to leave, it will only be two days, and for children, it is also a kind of happiness to play a little more, let alone play for an extra day.

Xiaobei still resisted the idea of continuing to play very sensibly, she was already used to running around with her family.

Zhang Xiaobao touched his sister's forehead, stuffed back the hair that appeared from the swimming cap and stuck to his face, and said to Xiaobei: "Don't go back, the matter over there in Jinchuan is Yizhou, and it is the same here as Fuzhong." ”

"Oh~! Then I'm going to play, oops, is there going to be a war? Take me, I'm very powerful, Xiaoyuan is afraid of my stumbling blocks. Xiaobei's heart fell back, threw down the sentence, and ran into the water again, and when the water overflowed her thighs, she plopped down and swam towards the place where the children gathered.

Watching Xiaobei swim back, Zhang Xiaobao showed a smile, "Don't affect the children about the adults, let Shui Yun take a look, and if necessary, beat them again." ”

"It's okay, come on, go find Zhang Ying." Wang Juan commanded the people standing not far away.

Zhang Ying followed, looking for eagles on the beach, while Zhang Hu left, and went with a thousand soldiers to explore the road to North America, taking a lot of dogs with him.

After a while, Zhang Ying came to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

"Let Shui Yun go to Jinchuan, ask what happened there, and bring the news back." Zhang Xiaobao pointed to the water cloud that was still soaring in the clouds and said to Zhang Ying.

After a whistle, Shui Yun spread his wings and fell, standing on Zhang Ying's arm, shaking his head to give people a feeling of wonder.

Ordered someone to take a pattern with Jinchuan characteristics, Zhang Ying drew a few times on Shui Yunbi, Shui Yun's eyes were on Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and he blinked his eyes twice to look at the west.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan suddenly had a special feeling, that is, Shui Yun knew how far Jinchuan was from Jili Prefecture and didn't want to go.

"Come on, go slaughter a cow." Zhang Xiaobao said to the person next to him, and the people in the family immediately went to the nearest place to find a cow and kill it, and dragged it back with blood.

Zhang Xiaobao personally cut a few pieces of beef and fed them to Shui Yun one by one, regardless of whether Shui Yun could understand or not, he said: "Let's run, you can still eat beef over there, and when you come back, you will be killed, far away, but this task is arduous and glorious, no one can do it except you." ”

Zhang Ying also touched Shui Yun's neck distressedly, from Jili Prefecture to Jinchuan, it was not an ordinary distance, but it was not good if he didn't go, so he could only wait for Shui Yun to come back and make up for his body.

Shui Yun also seemed to know that he had to run his legs and try to eat beef so that he could store more energy for the flight.

When he couldn't eat it anymore, Wang Juan had already written the letter, put it in a bamboo tube, and tied it to Shui Yun.

Shui Yun rubbed his head on Zhang Ying's face affectionately, and with the movement of Zhang Ying's arm, he rose into the air, circled in the sky, chirped, and spread his wings to the west.

"It would be nice if all the eagles could be like water clouds, and I hope it won't encounter any danger on the way, and barbecue and eat beef tonight."

Looking at the water clouds that turned into black spots and disappeared into the sky, Zhang Xiaobao sighed.

Zhang Ying also retracted his gaze and comforted Zhang Xiaobao, "Don't worry, little boy, Shui Yun is very smart, if he is hungry on the way to fly, he will find an animal that is easy to catch to eat, and he will not lose the letter, I also want to find a few more eagles like Shui Yun, but unfortunately, the eagle has caught a lot, and none of them can reach the level of Shui Yun."

It's like the big dog that the little lady brought back from Luzhou, it's almost psychic, little boy, little lady, something happened to Jinchuan? ”

Zhang Ying did not read what was written in the letter, and did not know the specific situation.

"Two beacon smokes, busy dealing with things here, the surrounding governors' mansions, are all ready to move, if something happens to Jinchuan, I will discuss it with the people around me first, and go over with Juan Juan, this time I won't kill them honestly and won't be surnamed Zhang."

Zhang Xiaobao explained to Zhang Ying, the most annoying thing for him is that he can't take care of the beginning and the end, if Jinchuan's army doesn't care, he can let the imperial court send generals to command, and now there are a few powerful people who can fight well.

Wang Juan was also angry, and after Zhang Ying left to rest, he said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, if there is really something in Jinchuan, let Songri Nican take the people to shrink, I can't go over for the time being, I have to solve the surrounding things first." ”

"How to fix it?" Zhang Xiaobao really didn't expect Wang Juan to have other plans.

"I won't tell you, there are a lot of things you don't tell me, guess what, I'll go swimming." Wang Juan threw down a sentence, took off the clothes he was wearing outside, and jumped into the sea in his swimming suit.

"If you don't tell, you won't tell, I hurried over early this morning, and I don't have a good plan to find someone to share with? See who can hold up, I'll swim too. Zhang Xiaobao muttered and jumped into the sea.

Compared with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who just feel troublesome, some people are not in a good mood all day because of the Beacon Fire incident.

When the news came, Li Longji discussed state affairs with the ministers in the morning hall, one was to continue to open the Datang money village all over the Tang Dynasty, and the other was the matter of compulsory soldiers.

Now the compulsory soldiers in Jili Prefecture can be said to have succeeded, and the food of the 30,000 soldiers who were scattered and placed in various armies is no longer as wine and meat as at the beginning.

The soldiers didn't say anything, as long as the relatives at home were living well, they didn't have a reason***.

Such success made Li Longji see hope, and wanted to find another place to try to do it, and when he was fighting with the ministers, the beacon fire in Jinzhou came.

Temporarily suppressing other things, and the ministers began to speculate about what kind of thing, who would dare to fight Jinchuan?

Until the end of the early dynasty, it was not determined, and after returning to Xingqing Palace, Li Longji was not happy when he heard that the artificial unsinkable lake was about to be completed.

"Lux, do you think it will be Tubo who is desperate?" Li Longji, who poured two bowls of iced sour plum soup in a row, still felt like fire in his heart, and said to Gao Lishi, who was waiting next to him.

Gao Lishi guessed it, he was more anxious than Li Longji, one was for Datang's heart, and on the other hand, he was worried about Xiaobao, Jinchuan was not under the control of Datang, although there were a lot of local specialties this year, especially Cistanche, but if Datang really sent people to occupy it, regardless of whether Xiaobao and Juan Juan would agree, Tubo could not agree, then it was really necessary to give up the land to Datang.

Now the east of Jinchuan belongs to Xiaobao and Juanjuan, which is an excuse for a caravan, such as the Tang Dynasty sending people to manage, it is a matter between countries.

Gao Lishi thought, his eyes hurt a little, as if it had been hurting to his head, pressed his temples with his hand, and replied to Li Longji:

"Your Majesty, it's just two cigarettes, maybe the people of Jinchuan are wrong, thinking that someone is going to beat them, the minister thinks, Tubo now has to rely on the Tang Dynasty to exchange food for it, and they don't dare to make a move easily, although the Turks are also in the desert, but they can't take care of too much.

Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the news should have been sent to Xiaobao and Juanjuan, thinking that the two of them have already made a decision, and when Jili Zhou sends a letter, everything will naturally be known. ”

Gao Lishi persuaded him, and even he didn't believe what he said, the Tibetans and the Turks were wolves that could not be raised, as long as they were given the opportunity, then they would definitely seize it, otherwise they would not have to continue to send troops to the frontier.

Li Longji also knew that Gao Lishi was comforting himself, and the only thing he could do at this time was to believe what he said, even if it was so difficult to be sure.

"Send a letter to Xiaobao again and ask him what he is going to do." Li Longji couldn't wait.

Shui Yun flew hard, wanting to get to the place early, and it felt the anxiety of its master, even if it knew that the road was far away, it had to complete the task.

The blue sky and white clouds are accompanied, the breeze blows, the wings are spread, and each flap has to draw a long distance.

In the place where the water cloud is obsessively trying to reach, many people are busy, building temporary working hours to guard against others.

Zhang Youzhu diligently pressed the straw-woven rope on the sand in a diamond-shaped pattern, put the seeds of the saxon tree into it, and then carefully watered it from the bucket pushed from the lake in the distance.

Waiting for the Saxon tree to grow, it is possible to find cistanche inside, which is used to repay the Lord's family.

This method is still taught by the little son and the little lady of the main family, as long as you can collect ten catties of cistanche a year, then you will have a good life, and the additional rewards will be very much.

People must know how to be content, even if there is no reward, they have to do things well for the master's family, the surname is to follow the master's family, and a stable life is also given by the master's family, just like Han Gongzi said, only when there is a comparison to know what happiness is, when some people are sad because they have no shoes to wear, they find that some people have no feet.

We must cherish the present days, even if the many cannibals who came over the day before yesterday are not afraid, if they really dare to fight, they will fight with them.

Thinking like this, Zhang Youzhu worked harder, planted every seed seriously, and looked forward to germinating and growing.

Looking at the guards who came from home, Zhang Youzhu was even more afraid.

Compared with Zhang Youzhu, Songri Nigan's mood was very bad, the group of cannibals in the distance did not plan to leave since the day before yesterday, they looked like they were going to stay permanently, and set up a temporary camp by the lake, and more than 500 people did not come to harass them, but they never left.

If you want to leave 500 people, it is too easy, more than 100,000 people, the number of troops alone has reached 20,000, forty to fight one, one person can strangle the other party to death.

What Songri Nigan is worried about is not five hundred people, but what is going on behind the scenes, there are many cannibals in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, not surprised, surprised that he ran to the lake in the desert, isn't he worried about starving to death after eating the food he brought?

When things go wrong, there must be monsters.

Thinking about it like this, Songri Nican said to Han Whirlwind, who was also looking at the food with clairvoyance: "Han Gongzi, you said that it is impossible for the arrival of many cannibals to have the secret support of the Turks or Tibetans?" ”

"Huh? Where are the two of them? Can't you? Han Whirlwind couldn't be sure, the only thing he could be sure of was that the cannibals who stayed by the lake were not good, Mi Fan had already felt uncomfortable, and since the arrival of the cannibals, Mi Fan had begun to be unable to eat.

What kind of skills does Mi Fan have? It's amazing, I can't find any reason to explain it, but it's just that kind of existence, from the realization that now, I haven't seen Mi Fan's feeling that something is wrong.

Looking at it this way, more than 500 cannibals are the root cause.

Not to mention that Han Whirlwind didn't want to believe that there was the support of the Tibetans or the Turks behind the cannibals, even Songri Nigan, who said this, didn't want to be like this.

But judging from the information collected, both Tibet and the Turks have such a possibility, don't look at the internal instability of the Turks, but since the emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent troops to guard the border after Feng Chan, the Turks began to shift the center to the desert.

Although there is a shortage of food in Tibet, and there is a non-reciprocal exchange with the Tang Dynasty, the people who can really eat a lot of grain are not slaves, and the slaves only eat a small part of the grain, and the rest of the food is good to take advantage of the arrival of spring to dig wild vegetables in the mountains to replenish.

There are also all kinds of insects to eat, especially locusts, to control this year's locust plague, and second, part of the saved food is used for real soldiers, and part of it is used as reserve grain and grass storage.

To say that these two places don't have any mind, the ghost doesn't believe it.

"Han Gongzi, if I am the leader of the Tibetans or Turks, I will support the cannibals behind my back, quietly provide them with all kinds of information and supplies of grain and grass, so that they can understand the price at which Cistanche will be sold after it is made into vegetables in the water clouds.

Cistanche here does not look expensive, but it is not cheap, pick ten catties of cistanche, you can get ten dollars of material reward, ten dollars such as buying grain, according to the current real food price, used to feed ten pigs are enough to eat for a year, but also to make a few sets of clothes for pigs.

It can be sent to Shuiyun and sold as a dish, which is dozens or even hundreds of times the price, and the nobles and families in the capital of the Tang Dynasty are proud to be able to eat this dish.

Let the people who eat a lot understand, and then fight with us, once the fight starts, there will be more cannibals involved, whether it is Tubo or Turkic, you can look at both sides to tear and kill, this is called borrowing a knife to kill, Han Gongzi, you must not be guarded. ”

Songri Nican said a lot of words, wanting Han Whirlwind to come up with a good way as soon as possible, but if it continues like this, the pressure in his heart is too great.

Han Whirlwind didn't know how to do it, put down his clairvoyance, raised his head to look at the blue sky, took a few breaths when there was no wind, and looked at the beacon tower that was still rising with two smokes.

"Songri Nigan, the news has spread, but the little boy and the little lady are in Jili Prefecture, which can be described as thousands of mountains and rivers, and when the two of them know, even if it is eight hundred miles expedited, it will take nearly a month.

In addition, the beacon fire can't deliver specific information, and when the little boy and the little lady know, send someone over, and then send someone back, back and forth, at least at least a month and a half, then it's still not raining on the road, when it's easy to go, let's think of a way for ourselves. ”

Han Whirlwind meant that he wanted to make a plan with Songri Nikgan and then command the army to ensure stability here.

Having never commanded an army, he was worried and excited, afraid that one would accidentally lose, and wanted to lead a large army to defeat all the enemies, which can be described as contradictory.

Hearing this, Matsuri Nikgan nodded, he had commanded the army, small-scale, such as the slaves he carried, who had fought in the past, and now he had to command more people, and he was also very nervous.

"From now on, twenty of you will be my guards, and you will protect me in the future, and I will take care of your food, drink, and monthly routines."

Xiaobei, who has caught enough seafood on the beach, selected 20 people from 100 people from Sanshui County, and these 20 people are all the people with the greatest ability to catch seafood, that is, the top 20 people.

The children who came to be guards would not object, what the master said, what they did, it was already clear when they trained.

"Why? You want twenty people, what are we going to do? Xiao Yuan didn't care about the psychological shadow of stumbling and vigorously objected.

Xiaobei also found that he wanted more people, but he didn't want to admit it, so he deliberately didn't look at Xiao Yuan's angry gaze, and lowered his head to look at a few little feet, and his ten toes moved back and forth on the sand.

It wasn't until the atmosphere was too depressing that he whispered: "It's good for you to divide the rest, I won't rob it anymore, really." ”

"You've already robbed it, how many people are there, you count, one, two, three...... Nine people, a hundred guards, how can you divide twenty people, when I can't do arithmetic? You divide it into ten. ”

Xiaoyuan's mathematics is far worse than Xiaohai's, it took a while to finish dividing the number of people, if there are ten per person, there are still ten left, and when he speaks, he is calculating how to divide the remaining ten, and he has to continue to divide, very troublesome to say.

Xiaobei also calculated, she calculated first, "If there are ten people in one person, then there are still ten left, so give it to me, the remainder is very small." ”

"No, that's not the case, Brother Xiaohai, how do you say it?" Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Hai for help.

Xiao Hai obviously didn't have any interest in such a difficult topic, but he still replied: "There are eleven guards for one person, and there is one left, what do you usually do in class?" Such a simple question should be asked of me as well. ”

"Oh, that's right." Xiao Yuan really wanted to refute it, he was not good at arithmetic, but he was very good at endorsing, but who made him be so late than Xiao Haisheng, he must have the respect he deserved, not to mention that Xiao Hai's arithmetic is really good, at least better than himself.

Xiaobei raised her head and asked her brother Zhang Xiaobao for help.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, these younger brothers and sisters are really fun, nodding, Zhang Xiaobao said to Xiaobei: "It is indeed eleven people per person and one person remains." ”

"Then I want twelve, and one more person is not allowed to rob me." The clever Xiaobei didn't dare to insist on twenty people, she knew the truth of cutting friendships, and she had always done so.

Zhang Gang really wanted to write a letter home, ask someone to come over in the tribe, and not compete with others for a few places, but he didn't dare, seeing that others didn't make a sound, he could only agree with the fact that Xiao Bei had one more guard.

The twelve people in the front of the water-based queue were asked by Xiaobei to go, and her selection of people was so simple, without considering whether the people who were good swimmers were still good on land.

After the others had also chosen their own guards, Xiaobei came to Xiao Hai's side like a little sister, grabbing Xiao Hai's hand and shaking it vigorously.

"Brother~! You don't usually need guards, so why don't you let me train for you? It's not good, it's not good. ”

It's really difficult to make Xiaobei shout brother, who let the time when the four little guys were born close to each other.

Xiao Hai didn't care about any guards, he devoted himself to studying mathematics, and when he heard that his sister was in charge of himself, he nodded, and agreed.

Xiaobei cheered, and then looked at Xiao Yuan, who was against her just now, and showed a unique smile, Xiao Yuan consciously pretended not to see it, and turned his head to go about his own business.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don't care about it, if it weren't for that, then life would be too much fun.

On the way back, Xiaobei did not ride a horse in a car, and was very happy to be bouncing around, this is his own team, even if the average age is a little younger.

"Xiaobao, when you go back, you will send an expensive gift to the surrounding governors, don't care about money, the friendship between the various places on our side cannot be measured by money."

Wang Juan walked on the road and said to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao agreed very happily, and did not ask the reason, there will be a day when he will know, and he will not have to wait too long.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Zhang Xiaobao began to send gifts to various places around him, according to the identity of the other party, the gifts sent ranged from 1,000 to 10,000, a total of 32 gifts were given, and the value of the group was 110,000.

Those who received the gift were happy and worried, and the value of the gift was now very clear to them, and the minimum was more than 4,000 yuan.

Naturally, they don't know that the cost of a gift of more than 4,000 yuan is about 1,000 yuan, and they are reluctant to take the gift back if they want to return a gift of the same value.

Fortunately, the letter that came with the gift said that it was proposed that a joint military exercise be held together, hoping to cooperate, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were in charge of the location of the exercise and took care of the food.

If you promise to come down, even if you give face, you don't need to return the gift, you can promise it one by one.

Not all people are just for money, and some people don't care about money, they just want to see for themselves how effective the soldiers in Jili Prefecture are.

Zhang Xiaobao finally guessed part of the content at this time, and asked Wang Juan, "Where are you going to take them to hold a joint military exercise?" ”

"Then it depends on the situation on the Jinchuan side? If it's good, let's conduct a six-month pull-up drill in the northern part of the entire Hebei Province, if not...... I went to Jinchuan to act, and I would rather pay a lot of money for it. ”

Wang Juan didn't keep it a secret anymore, as soon as he said it, Zhang Xiaobao knew what the meaning behind it was.

"Well, it's worth the money, one is to make the army familiar with the terrain here, after all, they are from the south, and the other is to make the teams participating in the show feel the treatment of our army, even if they don't win over, they must leave a deep impression in their hearts,.

As for Jinchuan's real need to go over, then this exercise will be more meaningful, and at the same time, it will be more purposeful, and it will be beneficial to us whether they agree to it or not. ”

Zhang Xiaobao praised Wang Juan, and without waiting for Wang Juan to be modest, the words changed to "But...... They don't agree to go to Jinchuan, do you really want to do something to them? ”

"I believe that our friendship is like that evergreen tree, just as I never thought about money when I gave them very precious and valuable gifts, and that betrayal is shameful, and I am sure they will not."

Wang Juan said reverently.

When the various forces in the northern part of Hebei Province were busy drawing up and mobilizing their troops, the water clouds flew over the mountains and rivers, and finally came to Jinchuan, and fell to the ground under the shocked gaze of Han Whirlwind and Matsuri Nigan, hanging his head and scratching the ground with his claws tied with letterheads, reminding Han Whirlwind what he should do.

"Water clouds? What are you doing here? Hurry, come on, take the water, kill a cow and drag it here, hurry up, our family's water clouds are flying from Jili Prefecture, and we are tired. ”

Han Whirlwind knew Shui Yun, and he had dealt with Shui Yun a lot when he was in Sanshui County, and when he saw Shui Yun, he was first surprised, and then he felt distressed.

While instructing his subordinates to prepare things, he walked up to Shui Yun and stretched out his hand to hug Shui Yun, for him, Shui Yun was not an eagle, but a person.

Matsuri Nikan took a few deep breaths to calm his heartbeat, and then said, "It's Shuiyun?" The world's first eagle? Sure enough, it was able to fly from Jili Prefecture accurately, this eagle is not exchanged, let's see what news it brings. ”

"Rest, it's not bad for a while, come to Shuiyun, drink water first, the fresh beef will arrive soon, let me see, whether you are thin or not."

Han Whirlwind treated Shui Yun like a person, and the basin containing the water was brought to Shui Yun's approach, and he stood aside to make room for Shui Yun to drink more comfortably.

Shui Yun was really tired, in order to be in a hurry along the way, he only ate a little rabbit meat and drank a little water, and the rest of the time was flying, and when he was tired of flying, he soared, and continued to fly after resting.

Lowered his head and pecked at the water, and when he was almost drunk, the beef was also delivered, and the people on the spine of the best cow selected by Han Whirlwind cut it into strips and fed it to Shui Yun, and Shui Yun took the letter down when he swallowed it slowly.

Matsuri Nikan also came up close to watch.

The first sentence in the letter was not to ask about the matter here, but to tell Han Whirlwind Shuiyun that he needed to rest and beef, and then asked what happened to Jinchuan, and guessed that he gave a few suggestions, if it was in line, he could follow the method in the letter.

While the two of them were reading the letter, the well-fed water cloud flew to the top of the house and went to sleep.

Seeing that it was getting late, Han Whirlwind didn't look for Shui Yun immediately after writing a reply, although the endurance of an animal like an eagle is very strong, and he can hold on for a few days without eating, drinking, or sleeping, he is reluctant to let Shui Yun go back immediately, but he is more honest and has not done anything out of the ordinary.

Ordered someone to find a lot of soft straw and cotton wool, and put it on the ground to let Shui Yun lie on his own, Han Whirlwind thought about the plan in the letter, and then fell asleep peacefully.

Shui Yun added another meal, grabbed the straw and cotton wool on the ground and flew to the crevice of a nearby cliff, and began to lay a nest, intending to have a good night's sleep.

If you change to other eagles, you may proudly not accept the help of others, but Shui Yun is not, it is not stupid, change to find it yourself, where to find such soft straw and cotton wool, the night is colder than the day, and if you can save some physical strength, you can save a little.

While falling asleep with many people and water clouds, dozens of figures flashed out of a lake in the desert, rushing towards the place where the Suosuo tree was planted.

When dozens of people came to the outside of the fence, before they could climb over, someone shouted: "Whoever, stop, don't move, move and shoot you to death." ”

As the shouts rang out, there was also the barking of dogs, adding a touch of noise to the silent night.

Under the waning moon, the dozens of people who came over did not heed the warnings of others at all, and quickly climbed over the fence and rushed inside, and then there was a rustling sound, and when the sound of the dogs got closer and closer, dozens of people climbed out of the fence again and ran back to the camp by the lake as fast as they could.

Then there were a few dog barks, and if anyone's ears were useful, they could vaguely distinguish that they were mixed with a person's muffled hum.

Under the night, everything was calm again.

The guards were not given orders, and when they encountered something, they were not allowed to pursue it easily, but waited until dawn.

When a red sun came out, the guards finally found out what had happened inside the fence yesterday, where hundreds of trees had been cut down and three dogs had been lost.

"It must be them, they are the ones who do it more, and I know that they didn't have any good intentions when they stayed there." Zhang Youzhu, who was in charge of planting the Suosuo tree, was crying in distress as he pointed to the cannibalistic camp and shouted.

There is no need for him to say it, others also understand, but they can't be the master, they can only wait for Han Whirlwind to come.

Han Whirlwind, who got up early to exercise, finally got the news from there at the end of his workout, and rode to the place with Songri Nigan, looking at the downed Suosuo tree, and then at the cannibal camp where the smoke was rising, Han Whirlwind's face was gloomy.

"Thanks to Shui Yun not going back yesterday, it looks like I need to write a new letter." After gritting his teeth and saying this, Han Whirlwind commanded again: "Continue to do your own thing, just treat it as if nothing happened, and wait until the evening, there are not many trees that have been cut down, replant." ”

Leaving these words, the two of them rode back to the house, Han Whirlwind tore up the letter he wrote yesterday, wrote a new one, and greeted the water cloud flying in the sky, and when the water cloud came down, he ate and drank well, tied the bamboo tube, and touched the feathers of the water cloud.

"Go back, be careful all the way, don't rush, don't rush here, don't get tired."

I don't know if Shui Yun understands it or not, so he shouted, ran a little twice, flapped his wings and flew into the sky again, gradually turning into a small black dot and disappearing from Han Whirlwind's field of vision.

"If there are a few more water clouds, where can you still use pigeons, it is much more convenient than pigeons." Matsuri Nikan said enviously.

"When it's a chicken, you can have as many as you want, the only thing you can count on is for Shuiyun to find a companion, and when you have a small Shuiyun, see if you can cultivate it." Han Whirlwind's eyes were still looking at the sky, and he said with relief.

Matsuri Nikan still knows a lot about the eagle, and then said: "It may not be useful to have a small water cloud, maybe you will fall to death, first you will be pushed or thrown down from a high place by the big eagle, and then even if you can fly, you will have to be broken by the big eagle, and there are not many survivors." ”

"You're talking about other eagles, Shui Yun won't be so stupid, he will wait for someone to help him get a thick mat, and then throw the eaglet out of the air, even if he doesn't learn to fly once, he can catch it and throw it again, and it's the same when he breaks his wings.

Ping Xiaogongzi and the little lady's financial resources, for Shui Yun, it is not difficult to pave out dozens of acres of land with cotton, if you don't believe it, you will look at it, Shui Yun has a child, will the little boy and the little lady do that, Shui Yun cooperates or not. ”

Han Whirlwind, who treats Yunshui as a human being, does not agree with Songri Nigan's statement, other eagles are not smart enough, and a psychic eagle like Shuiyun will definitely be very cooperative, after all, it is also his child.

Songri Nican was stupid by Han Whirlwind's words, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really like this, "Yes, Shuiyun is different from other eagles, other eagles are arrogant, they are arrogant about everything, Shuiyun is only arrogant when fighting, arrogant and knows how to advance and retreat, and it is very cooperative with people who are good to it, so it is alive, and many eagles that are hostile to it are dead." ”

"Don't worry about Shuiyun, the little boy and the little lady will think about it, and the revenge will start tonight." Han Whirlwind looked in the direction of the cannibalistic camp and said with a sneer.

Night, once again, no one could still see the clouds of water that continued to fly despite sleepiness, the moon was a little less, the sky was darker, but the stars were brighter and brighter.

Dozens of figures came out of the lake, circled a large circle, and headed towards the fenced saxon trees.

Just as they approached the fence again, the leader finally noticed that something was wrong, and stopped in confusion, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that something was wrong, that there was a sound missing, and that the dog stopped barking.

Just as he was hesitating whether to move on, whether there was a trap in front of him, a fire suddenly appeared in the direction of the camp, and then the screams also sounded, from the first one or two voices, to the last sound, the leader of dozens of figures could no longer care about the shuttle tree in the fence in front of him.

When he ran back in the direction of the camp, he was followed by dozens of people, and if the moon was round and bright enough, he could see the anxious looks on the faces of dozens of people.

When they returned to the camp, some of the people in the camp rushed out, while others could no longer meet them.

In addition to the people who ran out of nothing, there were also people on fire who were on fire and made heart-rending sounds and jumped around like headless flies.

The group immediately began to look for tools to hold the water, ran to the lake to scoop the water, and splashed it on the burning man.

When the sound gradually stopped, the entire camp had turned into a sea of fire, and the remaining more than 400 more cannibals, looking at the scene in front of them, were almost crying without tears.

So far, they haven't seen anyone who attacked the camp, as if the camp itself was on fire, but this is simply impossible, knowing who did it, but like Han Whirlwind last night, they can't find any evidence to prove it.

Unwilling to give up like this, many cannibals, scattered, looking for enemies that may appear around, as long as they find one, there will be an excuse to find trouble for the Tang people who live here, at least there will be an excuse to send troops.

A few people who had eaten a lot of food used torches lit by the fire in the camp and walked all the way to the outside of the fence, and just as they found that they were looking in the wrong direction and were about to go back, someone suddenly shouted from inside the fence: "No one, don't move." ”

A few more cannibals were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted, they and others were still holding torches in their hands, and one of them shouted, and several more cannibals threw down their torches and prepared to leave.

Before they could take a few steps, there was a buzz in the sky, followed by countless arrows that fell and pinned them to their place, and those who had not died for a moment could faintly hear the barking of dogs.

Before dawn, more than a hundred men with crossbows in their hands made a great circle and returned to their homes, and if anyone sniffed carefully, they could smell the smell of cooked oil.

When the cannibals who finally stayed up until dawn checked the camp, they found a lot of arrowheads, arrows made of stones, looking at these arrows and arrowshafts that had been burned to ashes, the cannibals understood that if they asked the Tang people about such a thing, the other party would not admit it at all, because they did not have arrows of stones.

If you don't believe it, you can take a look at the people found by Datang, they dragged a few words of corpses, and the corpses were almost full of arrows, and the arrows were definitely with iron arrows.

In the face of the questioning of the Tang people, the cannibals also questioned the same, even if both sides knew that it was the other party's hand, but no one would reveal it.

Shui Yun is still flying hard, compared to the distance it flies, the pigeon between the capital and Jili Prefecture is obviously much easier.

The letter of inquiry from Gaolishi was delivered to Zhang Xiaobao, who not only replied to his own considerations, but also wrote down Wang Juan's arrangements for the pigeons to be sent to the capital.

After the early dynasty, Li Longji left several ministers behind and went to Xingqing Palace to discuss things.

Zhang said that he was naturally the leader, and he didn't have to think about it, he also knew that the emperor must have something to do with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, to be precise, with Jinchuan.

Sure enough, after the palace maid brought tea and a few people sat down, Li Longji said to everyone: "There is news from the beacon fire over Pengzhou Pass in Jiannan Province, someone wants to plot there, what can you do?" ”

Zhang Jiuling was also a member of the following, and when he heard the emperor's question, he put down the tea bowl and said, "Your Majesty, but the matter of Jinchuan?" The minister thought that he should ask Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, after all, it was not my Tang territory. ”

"The minister thinks what Lord Zhang said is good, although the Jinchuan line pays tribute to the capital every year, but after all, it belongs to Tubo, well, nominally."

Yu Wenrong did not continue to oppose the people on Zhang Shuo's side this time, and said very sincerely.

Zhang Jiuling and Yu Wenrong said this, and others also agreed, but Zhang Shuo had not spoken yet, and after others had said it, when Li Longji's eyes were on him, he said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is an opportunity, no matter what happened in Jinchuan, since the beacon is rising, there is naturally a threat, it is better to take advantage of the current instability in the Tubo country, send a general to Jinchuan to sit in the town, and then send a few civil officials to govern it.

The excuse is that our Korean caravan may be attacked, and after the generals and civil officials of the DPRK and China arrive in Jinchuan and solve the trouble, then who would dare to say that Jinchuan is not my land of the Tang Dynasty? ”

If it was a different place and a different person, he was right to say this, but everyone knew that Jinchuan belonged to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and the two of them were spelled out, and Tubo did not admit who was in charge of that place, but he didn't dare to take care of it.

If you do it according to him, what should Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan think? Several ministers thought of the question.

Li Longji also understood, but looked at Zhang Shuo quietly and asked, "According to Zhang Qing's opinion, who should be sent to Jinchuan?" ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of choosing people is naturally the careful consideration of the ministers, however, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan must not go, there are two people and a lot of slaves over there."

Zhang said that he felt that he had found an opportunity, and hurriedly replied.
