(Thanks to Omeng, Chubby, Vr Kagami, 8yy8-yy.) I remember that "Tiger Master is not confused" also gave strong support when he was in an old book, thank you. )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhang Fang didn't expect that in addition to the corpses of the two Hun sentinels, Deng Zhan also brought back three uninvited guests.

At the foot of the mountain, behind a leeward dirt slope, Zhang Fang sat opposite each other with the three mysterious visitors. Deng Zhan and Tao Sheng, the two leaders of the guards, stood left and right with knives on their shoulders; The Han brothers, Qingyan, and Qu Liang are protected on the side; More than ten guards were semi-surrounded, and the three of them were firmly watched.

The reason why they are like facing a great enemy is that the three of them refuse to disarm their weapons -- they will not easily disarm themselves unless they have complete trust on both sides or one side is strong.

It was pitch black, and only two torches were lit in front of the visitors, and the faint flickering light of the fire illuminated the faces of the three visitors.

"Cao Xiong, Lin Tianci, Chu Liu." The names of the three were succinct.

Cao Xiong was a burly man with a beard and was in his early thirties. Lin Tianci is younger, with white skin, bright eyes, and a mustache on his upper lip. The sixth junior high is a teenager, who looks as ordinary as his name, with a disheveled hair and a face full of dirt, which belongs to the kind that cannot be found in the pile of people. But if you look down, the pair of unusually long arms and half-height riding bows are unforgettable.

Zhang Fang sat on a large rock, his sword on his knees, his face hidden in the darkness, only a pair of crystal eyes flashed. Before questioning, he first speculated on the origin of the other party from his appearance and clothing.

The three of them are all Han names, and their appearance is also different from that of the Huns. Among them, the most Han is a young man named Lin Tianci. Cao Xiong has a rough face, black skin and thick beard, between Han and Hu, and may be of mixed race. Only the sixth day of the first month is a public face, which looks like a Han person in the Han realm and looks like a Hu person in the Hu land.

The three of them were all wearing Hu clothes, which is not surprising, Deng Zhan and the two guards were outposts, and they also changed into Hu clothes, but Zhang Fang peeked from a detail that these three people were different.

The biggest difference between Hufu and Hanfu is not the narrow-sleeved pants (the samurai costume of Hanfu is also similar), but the different directions: Hufu left and Hanfu right.

People who are accustomed to Hanfu always stretch out their right hand when pulling things out of their arms - after Deng Zhan changed into Hufu before, he repeatedly made mistakes when picking up things, and this scene was very impressive. And the young man named Lin Tianci among the three people on the other side, when he took the fire and lit the torch, it was very natural to reach into his arms, and his right hand never left the hilt, which was in line with the function of Hu Fu.

In other words, it is at least certain that most of these people are not from the Han realm.

"First of all, I would like to thank the three of them for their help; Secondly......" Zhang Fang slowly spoke with a scrutinizing gaze, "I want you to report your identity and purpose." ”

Among the three, Lin Tianci is the one who speaks the most fluent and standard Chinese, and is quite literate, so he mostly comes forward to answer. Although he couldn't see Zhang Fang's face clearly, his voice in the later stage of the voice change was still difficult to hide his immaturity, Lin Tianci was slightly stunned, but he didn't dare to think about it, after all, Zhang Fang's pomp was not small, and it was difficult for people to associate it with a thirteen-year-old boy.

Lin Tianci exchanged glances with Cao Xiong, turned his face, and said in a deep voice: "How many people do you have?" ”

Zhang Fang raised his hand to the left and right: "As you can see under your feet." ”

"You're dishonest!" The young man named Chu Liu suddenly pointed at Zhang Fang with the tip of his bow and said loudly, "I saw with my own eyes that group of Huns rushed into the canyon and attacked you. There are more than thirty of them, and you are less than twenty, how can they win the battle, and there are almost no casualties. ”

The sudden move of the sixth day of the first month made all the guards raise their spears in unison, and Deng Zhan and Tao Sheng took a step across to block the young master, and drew their knives and half cut them out of their sheaths. It wasn't until he saw that the other party had no unfavorable intentions that he returned the knife to the sheath and retreated.

"So you found the Huns early in the morning......"

Hearing the sneer on the other side, Lin Tianci hurriedly defended: "We originally planned to let the sixth junior high school warn, but when I saw you sealing the valley mouth, I knew that I was prepared, and there was not much to do." ”

Zhang Fang smiled and said to Chu Liu: "You say that I am not honest, is it because more than 20 of us defeated more than 30 Huns?" Don't we have the ability to fight one against the other? That's not an exaggeration, is it? ”

"No, yes, yes." The Chinese dialect of the sixth year of junior high school is very blunt and the words are very slow, but there is no emphasis on sarcasm. He pointed to Deng Zhan and the two guards who had explored the road before and said, "The three of them, fighting two Huns, are still raiding." As a result, a ...... also ran "

This is a slap in the face! Deng Zhan and the second guard were ashamed and embarrassed, and bowed their heads to Zhang Fang to apologize.

Zhang Fang smiled lightly and waved his hand: "This person has no wit, he has no mouth, you don't have to care." ”

Lin Tianci laughed and said, "I said what I wanted to say, it seems that I don't need to explain it too much." ”

Zhang Fang also smiled: "Don't lie in front of real people, in front of good hunters, let's not pretend to be good - the sixth day of the first month, right, you are right, if you really want to face to face with the Huns, you dare not say whether you can win or not, even if you win a miserable victory, it will never be so complete." Since you have followed the canyon, you must have heard a strange noise, right? ”

Chu Liu nodded violently: "I heard it, it seems to be the sound of falling stones...... Oh, you've laid stone formations on the cliffs? It's no wonder...... But how did you detect the Huns' attack and set up the formation in advance? ”

The guards burst into silent laughter. Zhang Fang didn't break it, the other party was self-righteous, and it saved him a lot of money.

"Alright, I've answered a lot of your questions, and now it's time for you to show your sincerity - identity, purpose."

Lin Tianci's eyes flashed: "The purpose can tell you, in fact, we have the same goal, which is why we are willing to follow this Brother Deng to meet the foot." As for identity...... It's better for you not to know......"

Aligned goals? They also want to save people?

Zhang Fang was pondering the meaning behind this sentence, and suddenly heard Tao Sheng shouting: "What if I must know? ”

Originally, before Zhang Fang, the master, did not speak, as a general, Tao Sheng was not allowed to intervene arbitrarily. It's just that he is in a dangerous situation, Tao Sheng has to get to the bottom of it, and he is also worried that the young master is inexperienced in dealing with it and will be fooled by the other party, plus Zhang Fang is silent, Tao Sheng spoke without authorization.

When Lin Tianci heard this threatening word, he didn't laugh angrily, glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Okay, in that case, if I don't reveal my identity again, I'm afraid I will be mistaken for a young person." ”

"Wudan is separated from Cao Xiong, the right commander."

"Wudan is a godsend."

"Udan's detachment from the army is the sixth of the first year."

Cao Xiong took a step forward, his eyes widened, and he paused word by word: "It's not close to see the salute yet!" ”

As soon as the identities of the three people were reported, the reactions of everyone present were different. Zhang Fang has no concept of what "Fu Cheng" is, as for "Wu Chang", this knows, it means five chiefs, it is nothing. It's the "right captain", which doesn't seem to be small. The only senior official Zhang Fang has come into contact with at present is the squad situation, and the position of the squad situation is the lieutenant - the captain of Shanghe Nong.

In terms of serving officials, the guards of the Fuping Marquis Mansion understood much better than their young masters, and when they heard about these lofty official positions, they were all shocked and their hearts were shocked.

Tao Sheng was startled at first, then frowned, leaned closer to Zhang Fang's ear and whispered: "You must prevent them from pretending, how can there be a lieutenant and a fu cheng who travel alone, and only bring a young captain." ”

Zhang Fang nodded and asked, "Du Wei, I know, what is that Fucheng?" ”

Deng Zhan on the side answered: "In the Western Regions, most of the ministers are the heads of civil officials of various countries. ”

"Oh, that's not a small one." Zhang Fang glanced at Deng and Tao, "Have you heard of this 'Wudan Fragmentation'?" ”

The two shook their heads in unison.

Zhang was relieved to have a bottom, sat upright, and said to the two "senior officials": "Do you have a seal?" ”

Lin Tianci took out a fist-sized white silk cloth bag from his arms and handed it over to Zhang Fang by the guards. Cao Xiong did not move. Also, as long as Lin Tianci's identity is confirmed, Cao Xiong's identity is naturally self-evident.

Tao Sheng took the white silk cloth bag, took two steps away, and opened it layer by layer, until what he saw was really a three-inch square turtle button copper seal, and then presented it to the young master.

Zhang Fang raised his hand, and Han Jun lit a torch and approached. Under the firelight, it is clear that the seal is written in standard Han Li, not to mention Zhang Fang, even Deng Zhan, Tao Sheng, and even Han Jun can understand it.

"Wudan Branched Mansion Seal" is true, but there is a line of words on both sides of the turtle button.

"Jiankun Right School Wang Producer?!"

Zhang Fang and Erwei looked at each other, what the hell is this?

"It's a pity that this is not a seal given by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and we don't recognize it." Zhang Fang handed the bronze seal back to Lin Tianci and said lightly, "This gift is gone...... But I confirm that what you have said is true, and it seems that we have a basis for cooperation. Now, you can talk about what it means to be aligned. ”

When the firelight lit up, the three people on the other side were dumbfounded. I didn't expect that this leader, who had always dealt with them skillfully and always controlled the rhythm of conversation, was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy!

Lin Tianci took a step forward, stood side by side with Cao Xiong, and exhaled heavily: "Before that, I also want to know your identity. ”

In the firelight, the other party seemed to smile and said a familiar sentence: "This identity...... It's better for you not to know......"

Lin Tianci raised his eyebrows and learned from someone: "What if we must know? ”

Zhang Fang and the other guards all laughed.

Tao Sheng stepped forward with the knife, and said word by word: "The prince of the Han Fuping Hou Shizi and Zhang Gongzi put!" You haven't come close to see each other! ”
