Chapter 885: Fooling Around
After the start of the war, ordinary caravans were not allowed to cross the concession and annex the border. The sudden attack on Arshak further tense the situation in the concession. Liu Yu and Tagina also planned to do the same, bypassing the pass, who knew that the army was already deployed along the border line, and the ranger patrols were one after another. If you force your way across the border, you will immediately be considered a defector a spy, and will be mercilessly shot with a crossbow.
Because the road is blocked, even the convoy carrying grain and grass has stopped. Liu Yu and Tagina stayed at the pass for a morning, and they didn't see a single person out of the pass except for seeing two men trying to cross the border being shot into hedgehogs by a secret sentry that did not know where they were ambushed, and corpses full of arrows being thrown in front of the pass for public display.
Here is not the same as the southern border. Kangju and Dahan are equivalent to the same country, and ensuring that people pass through the southern border of the concession to the maximum extent is crucial to promoting the economy and development of Kangju, so there will be almost no defense in other places except for checkpoints. And from here to the north, it is already a hostile country, how can it not be more closely guarded.
At a loss, Tagina suddenly whispered, "Look." ”
For novelty objects like clairvoyance, Tagina can't put it down, and she just looks around when she has nothing to do, and she really finds a problem.
Liu Yu hurriedly rushed across the Qianli Realm, and sure enough, he saw two adults and a child in front of the pass, like a family of three, negotiating with the soldiers guarding the pass. It didn't take much effort to see the soldiers guarding the pass waving their hands, and someone pushed open the fence in front of the pass, and let the family of three go out of the pass, and the peace was restored before the pass.
"Others can pass, and we can pass too! Let's go and inquire. Tagina suddenly took Liu Yu's hand and ran towards an inn on the side of the road.
The permanent population of the concession can be roughly divided into four types: one is the army of officials stationed in the local area by the imperial court, one is the Han merchants who do business here, the other is the local Parthians who have joined the Han nationality, and the other is the Parthians who have lived in the local area but have not joined the Han nationality. Most of the people who opened inns and restaurants in the local area were the latter two kinds of people, and the owner of this inn was a Parthian who had joined the Han nationality, and Tagina noticed this the day before yesterday.
Seeing Liu Yu and Tagina coming in, the innkeeper happily stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Two, stay in the hotel?" ”
Tagina shook her head and said, "Boss, I want to inquire, why some people can clear the customs and go north, while others can't?" ”
The boss was wary: "Who are you?" What do you do by asking about these? ”
Tagina smiled, "I'll tell you the truth, my mother's house is over there." I heard that there has been a lot of ** over there recently, and I am worried about the safety of my mother's family, and I want to go back with my husband to have a look. ”
"That's right. The north side is indeed chaotic enough, so the imperial court does not allow people to cross the border casually. But you shouldn't have a problem in this situation. The innkeeper looked at Tagina, then at Liu Yu, and suddenly said, "It's just that your husband doesn't look like a good person......
Both of them spoke Parthian language, which Liu Yu couldn't understand. Seeing the two of them smiling, Liu Yu only knew how to nod frequently.
Tagina glared at Liu Yu angrily and said, "My husband is the most honest, where is he not like a good person?" And I'll tell you, he's a Han. ”
"I've seen that." The innkeeper smiled and pointed to the Fang Tian painting halberd in Liu Yu's hand, and said, "This should be a weapon, how can anyone carry such a long weapon to swagger through the market?" ”
Tagina gritted her teeth and said, "Boss, as long as you can tell me how to pass the level, I will tell you why the husband has a weapon." ”
The innkeeper nodded and said, "Actually, there is no difficulty in passing the level. For the convenience of the people, as long as there are relatives in Parthia, they can continue to pass freely, and since your mother's family is there, there should be no problem. ”
Tagina's home was originally in Tessie, and later moved to Susa, which was already eligible for customs clearance, and couldn't help but be happy, and chattered for a long time with Liu Yu's ear.
Liu Yu understood the innkeeper's concern, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said, "Don't hide it, it's indeed a weapon that you are carrying below." As a citizen of the Han Dynasty, I heard that the imperial court was at war with Daqin, and I was willing to abandon my eight-foot body and serve in front of the army! The lady is innocent, so I want to send her back to her parents' house first, and ...... herself"
"Needless to say, I'll help you get through!" The innkeeper didn't wait for Liu Yu to finish speaking, he had already stood up excitedly and said, "Since your lady's house is in the north, customs clearance is barrier-free, and the difficulty is nothing more than this weapon, I'll find a way!" ”
It turned out that since the Han and Qin wars, the business of the concession inn has also plummeted, and everyone has complained about the Great Qin Empire that provoked the incident. On top of that, the innkeeper has joined the Han nationality, and he is now a Parthian with the nationality of the Han and is firmly on the side of the Han.
At noon, a carriage slowly approached the gate. Several guards surrounded him and shouted, "Who is it? Where to go? ”
The innkeeper jumped out of the car, arched his hand, and said, "Brothers, Xiaomin's niece's house is over there, and I want to go back to visit relatives, so I hope it will be convenient." ”
This inn is close to the border pass, but the soldiers guarding the gate have a little impression of this boss, but they are not too embarrassed, they looked around the carriage, and then picked up the curtain and looked twice, and suddenly pointed to Liu Yu and asked, "Who is this person?" ”
The innkeeper said, "This is my niece and son-in-law, and I will accompany my daughter-in-law back to her parents' house." ”
Liu Yu smiled all over his face and nodded again and again.
A guard soldier glanced at Tagina, suddenly gave Liu Yu a thumbs up, and said, "Okay, little brother, Yanfu is not shallow, and the daughter-in-law is smart enough." ”
Tagina was so frightened that she was afraid that the soldier was acting ill, and she even flinched back. Liu Yu was also afraid of extraneous branches, so he quickly took out a few pieces of maren candy from his baggage, and while stuffing it into the soldier's hand, he said in a loud voice: "Your eldest brother has worked hard to guard the pass, and he didn't bring anything good, please try it." ”
Because the innkeeper knew that there was a shortage of soldiers at the border pass, and was worried that Liu Yu would not be able to find food on the road, he specially prepared a little marline candy for them, and in order to send the soldiers away as soon as possible, Liu Yu had to dedicate the rations for the next few days.
"Little brother, don't hurt us." Not taking a stitch from the people is the iron law of the Han army. The soldier waved his hand, jumped out of the car, turned to his companion and shouted, "It's all right, let them go." By the way, be careful on the road, too! ”
According to the rules, everyone must have their identity checked before they can be released. Those who lived in the Han mainland and in the concession had identification, and those with Han nationality relied on household registration documents to prove their identity, and others received a customs clearance document when they entered the customs, which could also prove their identity. When Liu Yu ran away from home, he took the household registration documents with him, but he didn't dare to take them out. As for Tagina, she simply crossed the border, and there was no proof of anything.
Fortunately, most of the soldiers guarding the gate knew the innkeeper and knew that he was from a clean family. And more importantly, Tagina was so beautiful that the soldier who got into the car to check was a little dizzy, and he was worried that he would not be able to sleep for several nights if he stayed any longer, so he hurriedly "escaped" without checking their identities, but let himself miss a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
After passing the checkpoint, he gradually fell out of the sight of the guards. The innkeeper knew that the front was very chaotic and did not dare to go any further, so he told Liu Yu and Tagina a few words, and hurriedly said goodbye.
After leaving the land of the Great Han, Liu Yu didn't have to worry about arousing the suspicion of others, so he simply carried Fang Tian's halberd on his shoulder, pointed to the fork in front of him and said to Tagina: "There are two roads here, one leading to Daqin and the other leading to Susa. You are a descendant of the Parthian royal family, no one should dare to embarrass you here, why don't you and I break up, and there will be a period later! ”
Tagina pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Who said just now that I would accompany me back to my parents' house, how can it not be counted in a blink of an eye." ”
Liu Yu scratched his head and said, "Isn't that all about getting by?" ”
"No, no, you're going to send me back to Susa." Tagina shook her head like a drum, and suddenly said, "It's not for nothing that you send me back to Susa. I heard that my uncle has cut off your food route, and I can persuade my father to open a new channel for you. ”
Liu Yu sneered: "Your father is going to marry you to Caracalla, and Caracalla is the sworn enemy of my big Han, you want to persuade your father to give up a way to the big man, is this possible?" Don't be delusional! I'm afraid that when I go to Susa, I will be detained by your father, and I won't do such a stupid thing! ”
Tagina's eyes turned red and she said, "Don't worry, when you arrive in Susa, I will never reveal your identity." I will tell my father that you saved me and brought me back, and that he will reward you with a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry. And I can tell you a secret. ”
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What secret?" ”
Tagina whispered: "My father and my uncle are mortal enemies, whatever my uncle supports, my father opposes, and whatever my uncle opposes, my father supports." My uncle has now cut off the grain route of the Han army and is standing opposite the Han army, and my father will definitely help the Han army in turn! ”
Liu Yu also studied the art of war in the academy, and knew the truth that the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first, and the importance of this grain road was self-evident for the Han army that was fighting in Great Qin. If Tagina could really convince Ardaban to open the grain route for the Han army, it would be a big gain. Whether to go to Susa or not, Liu Yu couldn't help but hesitate. Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves ahead.
