The soldier named Lao Zhang smiled: "Did you kid sneak to the checkpoint to see the beautiful woman again?" Tell you Li San, save this thought, I heard that those two golden silk birds are the people next to the Queen Mother Kangju. ”

Another soldier pretended to be mysterious and said, "You probably don't know, these two golden birds are not simple. The day before yesterday a caravan passed by, and a young man was a little flirtatious in his words, relying on the fact that his family had money. And guess what? ”

The soldier who had just begun to speak asked repeatedly, "What's wrong?" ”

The soldier's voice suddenly became louder, and he said, "As a result, he let the two golden birds beat them violently, and all the teeth in their mouths were knocked out, and from then on they could only drink porridge like an old lady." Haha, haha......"

Liu Yu sat in the room, eating fresh grapes and fruits, overhearing the soldiers' gossip, and snickering from time to time. However, he couldn't laugh right away. I only heard the young soldier named Li San say again: "Zhu Heizi, what you said is nothing new. Let me ask you, do you know what the Queen Mother Kangju sent these two golden birds to do at the checkpoint? ”

After a period of silence, Li San's voice sounded again: "Let me tell you, this is a big secret, these two golden silk birds were ordered by the Queen Mother of Kangju to find a handsome young man here. ”

"It can't be!" Zhu Heizi said with a smile, "You don't know yet, Queen Mother Kangju and our Majesty are ......."

Li San said disdainfully: "What do you know? Queen Mother Kangju is young, our majesty can only come back once in a few years, where can she endure it......"

Lao Zhang is older, and he acts more seriously, and he said in a protective voice: "You two be careful when you speak, can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?" If it reaches His Majesty's ears, the guy who can't keep this meal will fall! ”

There was a sudden silence outside the room, and I could no longer hear the sound of them chatting, probably frightened by Lao Zhang's words. Liu Yu had already guessed that these two so-called golden silk birds were probably sent by the Queen Mother Kangju to find him and Bian Zhang.

Although the story between Liu Xin and Ban Zhao'er was not hidden from Ma Yun and them, Liu Yu was still just a child in their eyes, so it was naturally impossible for him to know, and as for Bian Zhang, he didn't understand anything.

After all, Liu Yu is young, and he doesn't understand many things, so he can't help but worry about whether the news of his running away from home has spread, and the Queen Mother Kangju wants to catch herself as a hostage. But as long as he passed the Han concession of Parthia, he would have the opportunity to join the army and serve the country when he got there, and he had already gone so far, so he was really a little unwilling to let him go back like this now. Bian Zhang next to him had already fallen asleep, but Liu Yu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

When it was daybreak, the caravan packed up and left the station. According to the daily itinerary, you will arrive at the border crossing of Kangju at dusk. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Kangju, Liu Yu felt weak, pulled Bian Zhang, and said, "Uncle Cui, I suddenly have a stomachache, or you go first, don't wait for us." ”

But he was stopped by Gao Ran, and sneered: "You two little guys, don't you want to escape, if you really have a stomachache, then go to the car and lie down." ”

In fact, from the very beginning, Gao Ran had doubts about the identity of the brothers. However, Gao Ran never thought that they would be Liu Xin's sons, only thinking that they were two street thugs, and that the long wooden box might be the stolen goods they stolen. It's just that Gao Yan's current identity is not embarrassing, and he didn't have the idea of reporting the brothers. But Gao Ran, in line with the principle that the heart of harm and the heart of defense is indispensable, refused to let the brothers out of his sight no matter what.

Liu Yu had no choice but to hold his stomach and climb into a grain truck.

These days, Shopkeeper Cui and the guys get along with them day and night, and the relationship is very harmonious, and they usually don't need to do too much work. But Liu Yu himself is very diligent, relying on his strength, and always rushing to move there, so the guys like him very much. I heard that he had a stomachache, so a man had already helped move the food away, leaving a space, and laying cotton pads on it. The wind and sand in this area are relatively large, and there is food around him, which can make him lie more comfortably. Bian Zhang refused to leave Liu Yu's side, so he naturally lay down.

As the convoy continued to move forward, a troop of cavalry suddenly came, shouting: "All vehicles pull over, and they will be allowed to pass tomorrow morning!" ”

The colonel sent to escort the shopkeeper Cui knew the cavalry, and hurriedly stepped forward to negotiate, but was told that there was a group of grain trucks in the army that would pass by, even if their grain was donated to the army, it would not work. The little colonel had no choice but to say sorry to the shopkeeper Cui, let them camp on the side of the road, and return to Dawan on an errand.

Camping is not a difficult task for the caravan, and it has encountered this kind of situation in the past, and Gao Lanjiu is in the army, and he is a good hand in this regard. Under the command of Gao Ran, dozens of grain trucks formed a circle, which served as the wall, and a few tents were simply set up inside, which was a strong camp. Compared to the camps of several other caravans in the vicinity, this place can be said to be impregnable. In fact, they don't need to be so careful at all, the guards in the Kangju area until the concession have been replaced by the infantry of the Third Legion, how dare ordinary thieves go wild here.

However, when he heard that he didn't have to clear customs for the time being, Liu Yu was temporarily relieved, his stomach didn't hurt anymore, and he jumped out of the car to help do this and that. As soon as the improvised camp here was built, I saw that the road was dusty, and a large group of carriages and horses drove over.

The people of the caravan were idle, and they all crowded to the side of the road to watch. To their disappointment, these teams were not the mighty and majestic regular army of the Han Dynasty, but a temporary team composed of the old armies of Yuan and Cao. After Jia Xu's rectification, this temporary army has some appearance, but compared with the regular army of the Han Dynasty, the gap is still not to be calculated.

Gao Ran also hid in the crowd, watching this team in old-fashioned armor walk in front of him, and his mood was extremely complicated. He is also a generation of famous generals, and many of them are soldiers he has led. But the way he looks now, he is really ashamed to see his old friend. For a long time, Gao Ran thought that he brought out elite soldiers, but now compared with Liu Xin's Han Army, he didn't even wear shoes.

Suddenly, two big men in the team caught Gao Ran's attention. As opponents for many years, the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan Gao Lan are very familiar. Although Xiahoudun had an eye patch on his face, Gao Ran still recognized it at a glance. is also Liu Xin's opponent, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers were able to join the army again, and it seems that they also became captains, but he signed up for the army but was rejected, which made Gao Ran very angry. Gao Ran secretly decided that if he had the opportunity to go to the front line this time, he would make the most of what he had learned in his life, so that those who despised him could see his abilities.

Liu Yu didn't crowd into the crowd to watch, because he found that Jia Xu was in this team, and if he saw it, he would never be able to hide, so he hurriedly dragged Bian Zhang into the tent and didn't dare to come out until dinner. Shopkeeper Cui only thought that his stomach ache had been committed again, and he did not suspect him, and arranged to send him some easy-to-digest meals.

There were more than a dozen caravans camped with them, most of these caravans were from the Han Dynasty, and a few were from the Kushan and Poison countries. Except for the caravan of Treasurer Cui, which was carrying all the grain, the other caravans carried many valuables. Therefore, even if there was no Han army patrol in front of them and there were no Han patrols around, these caravans still maintained a high level of vigilance, and each sent young men to take turns to be on duty at night.

Because the caravan of the shopkeeper Cui was full of grain, these materials were important to the army, but they were not attractive to the thieves, and their scale was relatively small, so they did not send people to participate in the inspections organized by other caravans, but arranged a man to watch on the roof of the grain truck in the middle of the night to prevent the candles.

At the end of the night, it was safe. Before dawn, many caravans began to get busy, and after passing the checkpoint today, everyone had to go their separate ways, some would turn south to Kushan and Shenpoison, and most of the caravans would continue north to the concession. In the past, more caravans would choose to go to Daqin to do business. However, a month ago, the imperial court had issued an order that all the roads to the north of the concession had been blocked, and they could not go to Daqin, even other parts of Parthia.

Treasurer Cui's caravan had nothing to prepare, unlike other caravans, they unloaded all their valuables and put them into tents, and now they still need to repack the car. Cui's shopkeeper has always piled up their food on the car, so they don't need to do any special actions, and it is much easier than others.

Equally relieved was the guy who was in charge of watching the fire from the roof of the car yesterday, and he didn't know when he had already sat there asleep, until the busy noise around him woke him up.

Liu Yu also got up early, helped the shopkeeper Cui and the guys dismantle the tent, and while he was doing it, he suddenly bent down with his hands on his stomach.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Cui asked with concern: "Little brother, does your stomach hurt again?" ”

Liu Yu's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he nodded vigorously without saying a word.

Gao Ran pursed his lips and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you have a lot of things." Go ahead and sleep in your car. ”

The grain truck is still the same as it was yesterday evening, and Liu Yu's comfort nest can still block the wind and sand. With Bian Zhang's support, he climbed into the car weakly and lay down on the cotton mat that the guys had laid out for him. There were grain bags all around, and no one else saw it except Bian Zhang, Liu Yu couldn't help but stretch comfortably, fell asleep with a "plop", and then heard a muffled snort from below.
