Chapter 884: The Problem of Exiting the Customs

Speaking from the heart, Arshak's ability is stronger than that of Ardaban, and with the help of Remitu, he would not normally make such a low-level mistake. It's just that first, he defeated the Han army and regained the lost territory, which made Arshak a little carried away, and secondly, he also needed the support of the nobles and wealthy people to keep his succession to the throne.

In fact, Arshak also knew that it was the "horse thieves" who plagued these nobles and the rich, and had nothing to do with ordinary people. He did this only to show the other nobles and wealthy people that he was firmly on their side. Unexpectedly, these originally docile sheep-like people and slaves would rise up. Although he had an army of 100,000 under his command, he was already a little overstretched to protect Ekbatana, guard against the retreat of the Han army in the northwest, and block the Han army blocking the border from moving north.

However, it was said that Liu Yu and Tagina "escaped" from the city of Khotan that day and repelled the wolves, but the horses had been torn to pieces by the wolves, and they could only walk on two feet. Tagina is usually pampered, and she can't walk for three or five miles, and she is out of breath, and she can't walk. Liu Yu had no choice but to carry her on his back, and finally before the sun set, he finally vaguely saw a checkpoint at the southernmost end of the Han Concession.

"Look! It's here! It's here! Ouch......" Tagina slapped Liu Yu's shoulder excitedly, pointed in the direction of the checkpoint and yelled, but unexpectedly Liu Yu's shoulders shook her, and she fell heavily into the grass, and immediately exhaled in pain, pouting with grievances on her face.

"Don't make a sound!" Liu Yu scolded while taking out a clairvoyant mirror from his arms and looking carefully in the direction of the checkpoint, and only after a while did he say, "I can't get over." ”

Tagina found that her coquettishness was directly ignored by Liu Yu and was angry, but she couldn't help but get nervous when she heard it, sat up straight and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Yu handed the clairvoyant mirror to her and said lightly, "Look for yourself." ”

Because there was no way to produce glass, the mirrors of the clairvoyant mirrors were all made of crystal, which was very precious, and even in the Han army, only a few high-ranking generals would equip it. Liu Yu's clairvoyant mirror was not used in the army, but a simple telescope specially made by Ma Yun when he explained the knowledge of lenses to them.

The magnification and resolution of this telescope are far inferior to the clairvoyant scopes equipped in the Han army, but for Tagina, it is definitely a rarity. She took the clairvoyant mirror suspiciously, and then screamed with her little fist: "Ah! Look, look, those people seem to be right in front of you! Hmmm......"

Liu Yu tightly covered Tagina's mouth and said angrily: "Be quiet, do you want to lure them over!" ”

Tagina pushed Liu Yu's hand away, stuck out her tongue mischievously, raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked in the direction of the level, and pointed from time to time, saying, "Isn't it your sister-in-law standing in front of the pass?" She's so vicious...... Also, your brother will enjoy it, lying on the soft couch and eating grapes...... Ah, Laura's little girl is too, and she seems to have changed into new clothes......"

"Alright, don't look at it." Liu Yu snatched the clairing mirror and said with a sad face, "Think of a way, how can we get over!" ”

Tagina spread her hands and said, "You're a man, you have a way." ”

Liu Yu's hands were raised, and he almost wanted to beat her, but he finally held back, and said in a low voice: "I'm not familiar with the path, you are a local, you should know if there is a path to pass." After this level, you should be fine, and it will be good for everyone. ”

Tagina smiled slyly and said, "So, you're begging me?" ”

Liu Yu gritted his teeth with hatred, but he could only lower his body, squeeze out a smile, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I beg you, what shortcut is there?" ”

Tagina said proudly, "There are shortcuts, but you have to promise me one thing." ”

Liu Yu asked vigilantly, "What's the matter?" ”

Tagina said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I'm done." But you can say yes now. ”

Liu Yu thought for a while and said seriously: "As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the Han Dynasty, I can promise you!" ”

Tagina nodded in satisfaction and suddenly asked, "Do you know how to swim?" ”

Parthia is not good at water, and Tagina, as a noble woman, cannot swim. When she fled to the city of Susa, she and Laura soaked in a stream for half a day in order to wash away the stench on the dung truck. As a result, the water suddenly rose, and the two of them almost drowned in it. But Liu Yu is different. Liu Xin is proficient in water, and he also specially built a swimming pool in the state pastor's mansion, so Liu Yu and his brothers often played in the water when they were young. Xiangyang has the Yangtze River to the south and the Han River to the north. When Liu Yu and the others are a little older, Liu Xin will also take them to the real river to experience, so Liu Yu has also learned a good water nature.

When he heard Tagina ask him if he could swim, Liu Yu said without thinking: "I haven't been to anything but the sea, and no big river can stump me!" ”

Tagina has a good memory, she spent some time in the concession, and vaguely remembers that there was a small river more than ten miles east from the checkpoint. It's a remote place with few pedestrians, but it's a shortcut to sneak across the border, and just thinking about the last time she was in distress at the creek makes Tagina have some heart palpitations.

Liu Yu laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll take you over." ”

By the time the two of them had struggled to find the river, it was already completely dark. Tagina suddenly flinched and muttered, "I'm afraid." ”

Liu Yu picked up the clairvoyant mirror again and observed for a while, and was sure that there was no figure on the other side, so he took off his shirt, pulled up his trousers, and said, "I'll carry you!" ”

Tagina was startled and asked repeatedly, "You can swim with me on your back?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "I can't, but I can try treading water." ”

However, Liu Yu overestimated himself this time. He does know how to tread water, even if he wears light armor, it is not much of a problem, but now that he is carrying Fang Tian's halberd and carrying a big living person on his back, the situation is completely different, he can't step on it at all.

In desperation, Liu Yu had no choice but to say: "I still have a way, you fall on your back on the water, and I will drag you ashore." ”

Liu Yu actually used a method of rescuing people who had fallen into the water, dragging them from behind. It's just that Tagina's current situation is different from falling into the water, and she needs to take the initiative to lie down in the water. Tagina tried several times, but failed to meet Liu Yu's requirements. Liu Yu couldn't help it, and dragged Tagina to the middle of the river.

Tagina struggled desperately and hugged Liu Yu to death. This time, she behaved like a real overboard, and the situation was extremely dangerous, often dragging down the rescuer.

However, Liu Yu had already been taught by Ma Yun and knew how to deal with this situation. He dived into the water as soon as he was a fierce man, and Tagina naturally refused to sink to the bottom with him, and slapped the water with all her might, and her hand was released.

Liu Yu suddenly stood up, looked at Tagina, who was still struggling and fluttering in the water, laughed, and said, "Get up quickly, you don't need to swim." The water is so shallow, you can wade through it directly! Or is my mother right, there is no right to speak without investigation. ”

It turned out that the water of this small river was not deep, but because it was dark, they did not see the condition of the small river clearly. When Tagina was dragged up from the water by Liu Yu and stood up straight, the river only reached her waist. If it was daytime, they would never make such a mistake. However, the further you go to the middle of the river, the deeper the river becomes. When she reached the center of the river, the water had reached Tagina's neck, and she was too frightened to continue. has reached the center of the river, Liu Yu naturally will not retreat, half coaxed and half frightened, dragged and dragged, and finally reached the other side of the river.

After crossing the creek was the area of the concession, and the clothes of both men were soaked. Liu Yu didn't care, took it off, wrung the water, and put it back on, but Tagina couldn't. Although these alien women have an open temperament, Tagina refuses to take off her clothes in front of Liu Yu, but the clothes are wet and sticky to her body, which is very uncomfortable. And she is not like Liu Yu who has practiced martial arts since childhood, and she will definitely catch a cold and get sick after a long time.

There was a hill not far away, and Liu Yu had to say, "Let's go, go to a cave over there first, and dry your clothes before leaving." ”

Their luck was good, and they did find a cave with ready-made firewood and grass, probably where the hunters usually took shelter from the wind and rain, and kept warm. With the experience of the last time on the grassland, Liu Yu quickly lit a bonfire.

Don't look at Tagina's young age, but Western girls develop early, and Tagina's figure is already quite slender. Now, the soaked clothes clinged to her body, and it set off a delicate body with a bumpy appearance.

Liu Yu lives in the palace, surrounded by beautiful women, but Ma Yun's family education is very strict, although he has already set up a family affair for him, he has never been so close to a young woman, he suddenly became cramped, and walked outside the cave without saying a word, and there was a laugh of Tagina "eating" behind him.

At dawn the next day, Tagina's clothes had all been dried, and Liu Yu's clothes were still a little damp, but he was in good health, so he didn't care. Leaving the cave and continuing north, there was no further interrogation along the way. It turned out that Lu Qiling took Bian Zhang and Laura to the checkpoint of the concession the afternoon before, a full day earlier than Liu Yu and them. Lu Qiling judged that Liu Yu had not yet entered the concession, so she only checked closely at the checkpoint, but she did not expect Liu Yu to cross the boundary river.

There is a special place in the concession area for relief of those who have failed in business and have no means of living, as long as they have the status of a Han national, they can receive assistance. And Liu Yu's Han face is proof of this, so eating along the way is not a problem. However, when they reached the northernmost part of the concession, how to get out of the customs became a problem.
