On the straight official road, a long convoy is slowly moving, and the three high-headed horses at the head are three big men in brocade clothes, the first one is high-nosed and deep-eyed, and the hair color is slightly yellow, which is the head of the Weiyuan dart bureau Xiao. Countless carriages behind the three of them www.biquge.info connected in a line, rolling like a black dragon. Although there were vast fields on both sides of the official road, the countless horse-mounted executioners who surrounded the convoy carefully held their waist knives and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, a runner ran from the front of the convoy holding the flying eagle flag with a black background of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, shouting: "Xiao Dart has an order, everyone rest in Suiguan for half an hour!" Xiao Dart has an order, everyone will rest in Suiguan for half an hour in front of him........"

Watching the executioner running by like the wind, remembering that he was splashed with muddy water a few days ago, Zhang Xi, who was sitting on the wheel, took a sip, "What the hell is this surnamed Xiao doing today, didn't he just rest and recuperate?" ”

Zhang Xin, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the car with his eyes closed, didn't open his eyes, "Don't talk so much, I felt a little wrong when I got up early today, you are awake." ”

"Oh........"

Fang Yu, who was lying on his back on the car with his feet crossed and a straw stick in his mouth, suddenly became interested and asked Zhang Xin: "Brother Zhang, I heard that the Great Grandmaster Mirror Master can have a premonition of murder, and even deal with it in advance, is it true?" ”

Zhang Xin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable all over my body, and I have a kind of ....... I can't put it into words. Isn't it that the land is not peaceful? ”

Fang Yu stroked his palms and smiled: "Ah, this realm is really not peaceful. After passing the Suiguan Pass, it is the Turkic border, do you see the mountain in front of you? ”

Zhang Xi put his hand on the pergola, looking from afar, and vaguely saw the endless green mountains in the distance.

"That's Yanzhi Mountain."

"Oh?" Zhang Xin opened his eyes, "I heard that the Xiongnu have a song, 'Kill my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest; Losing my Yanzhi Mountain makes my women colorless. 'Are you talking about this Yanzhi Mountain? ”

"Not bad." Fang Yu nodded, "This is the place where the great general Huo Qu broke the Huns, and I don't know how many dead souls and bones have been buried in the place for thousands of years, but now Yanzhi Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the Western Turks." A few years ago, a group of strongmen were kings of the mountain. Speaking of this, a strange look appeared in Fang Yu's eyes, "This group of strongmen has tens of thousands of people, known as the 'Yan Army', and there are four people in the lead, led by Li Qiyue, the second leader of the 'Nine Ring Knife' Kang Biaozi, the third 'Double Hammer' Meng Weizhen, and the fourth 'Evil Star' Yang Daxian. ”

"This strongman is so arrogant, doesn't anyone care?" Zhang Xiqi said.

"Tube? Who cares? Fang Yu sneered, "This is not the realm of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court can't control it." The Turkic cavalry was not good at mountain warfare, and was defeated several times. Over time, both sides will be resigned to Yanzhi Mountain. Moreover, the 'Yan Army' usually has no offense against the people, and it is not difficult for the people who come and go and the people who walk the rivers and lakes, so there is no eye-opening famous and decent 'hero' who does not open his eyes to provoke such a behemoth. ”

"In that case, what do tens of thousands of people eat on the mountain? Could it be that it is impossible to cultivate land in the mountains? Zhang Xin said curiously.

"This is the cleverness of the 'Yan Army', and it is not difficult for ordinary people, but if a big caravan like us wants to pass through Yanzhi Mountain, the price is clearly marked, whether it is a merchant or a small man, one hundred taels of silver per person, and no credit will be owed!"

"One......... A hundred taels? "Zhang Xi calculated in his heart, there are thousands of people in this caravan, isn't this more than 100,000 taels of silver! This "Fu Ruixiang" alone has to pay nearly 10,000 taels! I couldn't help but be surprised, "I'm also handsome?" Damn, you don't have that much money to sell me! ”

“......... Of course, you don't need to come out, the owner will give it to us. Frankly speaking, the profit of the owner this trip is hundreds of thousands of taels. You can still afford a few thousand taels of silver, so don't worry about him........" Fang Yu clasped his hands behind his head as he spoke, "Speaking of which, spending some money to buy the road is better than losing all the money and your life......."

As I chatted, the convoy had slowly slowed down, and the long queue of convoys rushed into a small dilapidated county town. Zhang Xin looked up at the mottled two big characters "Suiguan" at the head of the city.

This "Suiguan" is located at the junction of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and it is said that it is also an important border pass. However, Zhang Xinxin looked at it, but saw that the city wall was obviously in disrepair and looked dilapidated. Not to mention the number of soldiers patrolling the city, not to mention the old and the weak, not to mention the Xiongcheng of Liangzhou, even the small county town in Dingbian looks much more magnificent than here. Zhang Xin was puzzled, how could this be said to be a border pass, how could it be so broken? Since he couldn't figure it out, Zhang Xin directly opened his mouth to ask Fang Yu.

Although Fang Yu said that he was just a buddy, he was like a hundred Xiaosheng in the rivers and lakes, "During the Gaozong period, the Eastern and Western Turks have already declared themselves vassals to me, strictly speaking, the Western Turks are just my Tang Dynasty vassal states, and they are protected by Anxi, and the countries in the Western Regions are no different." Counting it, my Tang Dynasty has been at war with the Turks for nearly 30 years, so of course this Suiguan has been abandoned for a long time. Besides, the silver in Longyou is not blown by the wind, and it is much better to put it in Liangzhou to defend against the Tubo people than to put it here for a show. ”

While speaking, Zhang Xi drove the carriage slowly into the city gate, only to see the bluestone roads on both sides, and the red tile brick walls were no different from Dingbian County. It's just that compared to the disabled soldiers who broke their hands and short legs all over the city in Dingbian, the people here have been peaceful for a long time, and many children looked at the convoy curiously.

However, Zhang Xin looked carefully, but saw that the crowd was mixed with Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes and long swords in pairs and threes, holding Taoist buns and carrying Taoist robes and long swords.

As soon as Fang Yu entered the city gate, he saw a gossip pattern carved with a sharp weapon on the brick wall on the right, but it was not a yin and yang fish inside, but instead a small sword pointed to an alley. Fang Yu sighed lightly, clenched his fists and said to Zhang Xin: "Two Brother Zhang, the younger brother has already arrived at the place, so say goodbye." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xi's mouth opened wide, although he didn't deal with Fang Yu along the way, he was still a little reluctant when he heard that Fang Yu was leaving.

Zhang Xinzhi was much more indifferent, nodded and said: "Brother Fang, rest assured, Zhang Mou will definitely support him wholeheartedly, and the owner will follow Lao Chen." ”

Fang Yu jumped out of the car, "Brother Zhang, I believe you, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow for a long time, we will have a period later." ”
