Although Lai Xing'er still had doubts about why Luo San'er would incarnate as Luo Yuanqi, he was sure that he was definitely not his enemy at the moment, so he didn't be polite to Luo San'er, strode forward, and was the first to enter the secret passage from the small door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The accompanying crane sergeants lit torches to illuminate, and Lai Xing'er looked forward by the light, only to see that the secret road twisted and turned, as if the more you walk, the lower the terrain, and it is really as Luo San'er said, it leads to the bottom of the mountain. This secret passage seems to have been built a long time ago, and it is very dry inside, and Lai Xing'er raised his nose and sniffed, but did not smell the damp smell that can often be smelled in newly opened caves. Since it was not this secret passage dug by Luo San'er and his soldiers, and the exit from this secret road mountain was built in the relics pagoda in the backyard of Guanghui Temple, Lai Xing'er made a preliminary judgment: this secret road was mostly built by the monks of Guanghui Temple.

He recalled that at the Dharma transmission meeting of the Living Buddha of Tibet, Luo San'er escaped from the ranks of monks in Guanghui Temple, intending to assassinate Nazha, and he was even more convinced that this Guanghui Temple must be an important stronghold of the remnants of the Crane Army led by Luo San'er.

After walking in the secret passage for a long time, the sergeant rushed in front of Lin Xing'er and twisted the mechanism on the mountain wall at the turn on one side to open the exit of the secret passage. Lai Xing'er walked out of the secret passage, only to find that the exit at the foot of the secret passage mountain was actually built on the mountain wall by a large river, and there was a small wharf not far from the exit, on which there were seven or eight small boats tied to the wooden stakes that were inserted in the water side by side. This is really a subtle design that can be attacked and retreated! Lai Xing'er let out a sigh of admiration from the bottom of his heart.

After a period of rest, Luo San'er seemed to have recovered some vitality and got out of the secret way, and was not in a hurry to invite Xing'er to get on the boat and leave, but ordered the two sergeants who carried him to put themselves on the soft sand by the river, squinted his eyes and asked Xing'er: "My lord, I don't know if the emperor sent you to Liangzhou this time to meet us, what is the send?" ”

Lai Xing'er knew that Luo San'er still had doubts about his identity, so he turned around and walked in front of him, stretched out his hand and took out the official seal engraved with the words "Commander of the Crane Army" from his arms, and showed it to Luo San'er in his hand, while replying: "I have been in Liangzhou for many days. These days, I have asked people to inquire about the whereabouts of my eldest brother's department, but I haven't heard from him. The emperor was very pleased that the eldest brother was still able to gather the remnants and protect himself when the western frontier had fallen, and ordered me to come this time, firstly, to understand the details of the remnants of the Divine Crane Army under the command of the eldest brother, and secondly, to join forces with the eldest brother to attack the Tubo people in the western Xinjiang, waiting for an opportunity to destroy their supply base, so as to reduce the threat they posed to the imperial capital Chang'an. ”

Luo San'er glared at every word engraved on the official seal in Xing'er's hand and read it again and again no less than three times, and his heart was shocked: I don't know what kind of contribution this little eunuch has made, the emperor not only entrusted him with such a heavy task, but also canonized him as the commander of the soldiers and horses from Sanpin, he showed the official seal to himself at this moment, didn't he already make it clear to himself that he was the real commander of this crane army in the future?

Luo San'er was still bowing his head in contemplation, and then he heard Xing'er ask him in turn: "According to the military report sent back by the eldest brother to the imperial court, the eldest brother's department should be a branch office hiding under the jurisdiction of Longyoujian. ”

Luo San'er immediately realized that Lai Xing'er was prompting himself to report to him the details of the department in Liangzhou, and at this time he couldn't do without a little expression. So, Luo San'er beckoned to the two sergeants to pick himself up from the sand, and replied respectfully: "Back to the words of the commander, the left army of the Shenhe Army under the command of the last general, the original 5,000 soldiers, three months ago, by the order of the envoy Yu Chengen and the commander Xiang Zhifei, moved to Shanzhou, more than two months ago, Tubo dispatched the most elite Scorpion Army heavy cavalry, in one fell swoop to break through the pass of the Xingsu River, and directly destroyed the sand castle, the last general personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the fort to meet the battle, after defeating the enemy, finally because of being outnumbered, almost all the army was annihilated. After that, the 2,000 soldiers who stayed in Shanzhou City to defend the city also sacrificed their lives for the country under the onslaught of the Tubo people, and Shanzhou fell to the hands of the Tubo. The last general gathered the remnants, and at that time Kankan only gathered less than 200 people, with such a force, if you want to recapture Shanzhou from the hands of the Tubo people, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky. In desperation, the last general had no choice but to lead more than 100 sergeants to Liangzhou, preparing to return to Jingzhou to ask Yu and Xiang for their guilt in person.

Who would have thought that as soon as we escaped from Shanzhou and came to the boundary of Liangzhou, the news that Jingzhou had fallen came. Seeing that the retreat route was cut off, the last general had no choice but to order his brothers to disperse and hide in the vast grasslands of Liangzhou for the time being, waiting for an opportunity to get in touch with the officers and soldiers of other departments. However, then came the bad news of the fall of Chang'an, which made us suddenly confused, and at this time, the thief of Nazha was transferred to Liangzhou again, and the herdsmen under the various divisions of Longyou Prison were strictly investigated, making it difficult for us to hide in the grassland. Fortunately, before this, several brothers hid near Tianti Mountain, and got acquainted with a group of righteous monks in Guanghui Temple on Tianti Mountain, so that we were able to move to the vicinity of Tianti Mountain in time and were not found by Naza.

The military report sent back to Chang'an, which my lord said, was it written down by myself when I first arrived in Liangzhou and handed it over to a reliable brother to bring back to Chang'an, but I don't know why it was delayed on the way for so many days, until Chang'an was restored and His Majesty returned to Luan. ”

Lai Xing'er remembered that Luo San'er was Furong's personal guard, and he didn't dare to believe his words, but he couldn't find any flaws for a while, and it was inconvenient to ask him about the things between him and Furong in front of all the sergeants, so he nodded and said: "Listening to what the eldest brother said, the brothers can be regarded as nine deaths this time, and it is not easy to live to this day under the noses of the Tubo people." Although I failed to avenge the brothers who died in Shanzhou today, and killed Nazhana'er, it was a blessing that I found my eldest brother and brothers at the foot of Tianti Mountain. From now on, we will work together to take off the head of Naza'er to pay tribute to the dead of our brothers. ”

Luo San'er heard that Xing'er's words really revealed the meaning of taking over the military power from his own hands, although he was not very reluctant, he still opened his mouth to introduce the sergeants: "This is the minister who came to Liangzhou to meet us by the emperor's edict, and ordered the commander of the Shenhe army and horses, and came to Xing'er to come to the lord, from today on, including me, everyone must obey the general orders of the lord, and if there is any violation of the order, they will be severely punished according to military law." Did you hear that? ”

When the sergeants saw that the minister sent by the emperor to meet them was actually a half-grown doll who seemed to be one or two years younger than Nazarai, a trace of disappointment passed through their hearts, and because of Luo San'er's face, they responded unevenly, but they still looked at Luo San'er, expecting him to give instructions for his next move.
