Cao Xiong and Lin Tianci looked back together, but saw a tall and thin bearded man saluting Zhang Fang, and said respectfully: "Ali Mu thanks Gongzi for saving his life, but he has orders, and he obeys his orders." ”

is also a Hu person, but this Hu person speaks Chinese very fluently, with a Chang'an accent, and the wording is also polite, which is surprising.

Han Zhong let out a "huh" and blinked his eyes, this Hu man is so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Han Jun gently bumped his brother with his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Do you remember being rounded up by the officials when you were in Sanshui?" It's that Hu Shang. ”

Han Zhong let out a long sigh, remembered, and puzzled: "Why is this person here?" ”

Han Jun couldn't knock on his brother's skull, and said angrily: "In addition to us and the rescued villagers, there are only slaves from the Mo Xi Department here, how can you say he is here?" ”

Han Chong's mouth opened wide: "Slave?!" ”

Han Chong's voice was loud, and Alimu heard it clearly, ashamed and indignant: "...... It's all damned Tahan and Moxi, they robbed me of my goods, killed my servants, and didn't take me as a slave, but fortunately Gongzi rescued me......"

Well, now Han Zhong understands. The Han tribe was about to leave the western annex of the Han Khan, and this courage was naturally fattened, and they actually plundered two groups of Hu merchants who had entered the trade of his department hundreds of miles away from the Han realm, one of which was this Alimu. It is estimated that Mo Xi also participated, so when he divided the spoils, he also shared some slaves, and Alimu was among them.

Zhang Fang nodded and returned the salute: "You have been doing business in the Western Regions for many years, and you must be familiar with the road to and from you, do you know how to get to Yumen Pass as soon as possible?" ”

"Cooked! Cooked! Alimu almost patted his chest, "This road has been walked more than a dozen times, and you can go to Yumen Pass with your eyes closed." ”

"Well, in return, you'll be our guide."

"Alimu is glad to do it."

With this unexpected "old horse", not only Cao Xiong and Lin Tianci breathed a sigh of relief, but also Deng Zhan, Tao Sheng and the other guards were a lot more relieved. Next up is the commentary route.

According to Alimu, from this place to Yumen Pass, first pass through Pu Ze, from the east of the back of Pu to cross 2,000 miles of desolate Gobi, canyons, swamps, deserts, grasslands and other complex terrain, and finally enter Shanshan, and go east to enter Yumen. If you walk normally, the whole trip will take more than a month.

"Shanshan?" Zhang Fang thought thoughtfully, "Is it the former Loulan?" ”

Alimu nodded: "Yes, it is Loulan in the early years." ”

In the fourth year of Emperor Yuanfeng of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty (77 years ago), the Han envoy Fu Jiezi beheaded the Loulan King of the Xiongnu and returned to the throne, and the Loulan prince who was established in the Han Dynasty was the new king, and the name of the country was changed to Shanshan. Since then, Loulan has been preserved in the annals of history in the name of Shanshan. That was almost half a century ago.

Fu Jiezi killed the king of Loulan, and Loulan changed his name to Shanshan, which is also a historical common sense, of course Zhang Fang knows, but he is not very clear about the exact chronology of his period, and Alimu will not think of this stubble if he doesn't say it.

Deng Zhan's fingers moved along the route drawn by Alimu, and his eyes became brighter and brighter: "If we set off immediately tomorrow, take all the horses, and hurry up, we will have a chance to get rid of the Mo Xi people and the Ta Khan people." Even if Hu Nu bites tightly, as long as we can rush to Shanshan first, no matter how arrogant he is, he will not dare to chase after him. ”

Zhang Dazhong was interested: "Why?" ”

"Because there's our garrison there."

From the reign of Emperor Zhao, after Fu Jiezi beheaded the king of Loulan, considering the importance of Loulan's geographical location, the Han Dynasty stationed troops in its place to supervise his country. At this time, Shanshan was equivalent to a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and it was a matter of course that the suzerain's garrison was also a matter of course.

Tao Sheng slapped his palms with his fists, excited: "So good! ”

Zhang Fang looked left and right, and understood Erwei's thoughts. In fact, he proposed to go west and use his body as bait, but Erwei strongly opposed it, but as a subordinate, he didn't dare to argue. At this time, there are old horses with knowledge to lead the way, there are sufficient horses for transfer, and there are garrisons to respond, and the danger factor is minimized. In this way, in Erwei's heart, this plan can be regarded as feasible.

Cao Xiong and Lin Tianci glanced at each other, and bowed their hands to Zhang Fang together: "Since the son has made arrangements, I will part ways tomorrow, and he will meet again." ”

He still has a bunch of headaches, and Zhang Fang didn't bother to ask what was going on with Jiankun Xiaowang Li Ren, so he closed his sleeves and returned the salute.

After Cao and Lin said goodbye and left, Zhang Fang signaled to the two guards to come closer.

Zhang Fang pointed to the cattle and sheep pen and said to Tao Sheng: "You take half of the cattle and sheep, and the camels are all for you, and there are ...... Take the rest of the small half box of thunder cannons. If the Huns of the Khan tribe do not let me go, they will not let you go either, and if they also divide into two ways to pursue, you will take people to guard the valley where we came, and intercept the pursuers. If there are not enough people, the group of Hun captives will also be counted. If they hold on, let them live; If they can't keep it, they don't want to live. Your task is to stay for three or two days, and when the people in Qingxi gather and go away, the Huns will not be able to catch up, and you are not the main target, so the Huns will naturally give up. ”

Tao Sheng hesitated slightly: "The thunder cannon is indeed easy to use, but if the villain takes it all, the young master will ...... here."

"There's time along the way, and I can make it again."

"Whoa!"

"Deng Zhan"

"In!"

"Tell everyone to do it, slaughter all the cattle and sheep, roast them for rations, and make them all ready before dawn."

"Understood."

After explaining, Zhang Fang turned his gaze to the Han brothers: "Bring that person up." ”

Zhang Fang didn't say who it was, but the Han brothers understood, took the order and left, and soon dragged a fifty-year-old man in tattered Hanfu to him.

The man was haggard, but his complexion was very white, and although his clothes were dirty and tattered, it could be seen that the material was of silk texture. Those who can wear silk in these years are either rich or expensive. The fact that a pampered and well-established Han man appeared in the slave circle of the Huns is strange in itself.

"Childe asked, answer honestly! If there is half a truth, don't blame my brother for being ruthless. ”

It was Han Jun who spoke. Although this young man is a little shrewd, he is not a brute person, but this sentence is said through gritted teeth, so that people have no doubt that he can do it. It was not a killing that made Han Jun's heart change greatly, but because of the person in front of him - the mysterious visitor from Chang'an, the mastermind behind the Qingxi blood gathering case!

This person was also unlucky, he had exhausted all the organs, but he didn't count the barbarism of the Hu people, and as a result, as soon as he got out of the chicken and deer stopper, he was imprisoned by the seat of the guest and the order. Bu Guxu ran in a hurry, and he couldn't care about him, a hostage who could exchange a large amount of ransom, and finally fell into Zhang Fang's hands.

The old man saw Zhang Fang at a glance and was surprised. This kind of surprise is not because the person in front of him is a teenager, but a kind of surprise that "Shibei has been impressed for three days". Obviously, this old man knew Zhang Fang, and the Zhang Fang in his cognition was completely different from the young man's bearing and temperament in front of him, so he was surprised.

Zhang Fang was discerning, understood the old man's eyes, and said flatly: "You know me, it's very good, it saves me a lot of tongue." I have a lot to do tonight, so I won't talk to you - I want a name or names to tell me, and leave your ears and nose any longer, and you can leave alive and accept the deal? ”

The old man smiled miserably and asked rhetorically: "If Deng Zhan and Tao Sheng betray their masters, what will the Fuping Marquis Mansion do?" ”

Zhang Fang stared at him coldly and didn't say a word.

The old man suddenly laughed, and he had to be public: "There's nothing to say, right?" Let me tell you - the sin of injustice is a disaster to the family! Do you think I'm going to tell you? ”

Zhang Fang said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, escort you back to Chang'an, someone will always know you, and then find out the people behind you......"

Before the words fell, the old man's face changed greatly, and he suddenly rushed forward.

The Han brothers drew their swords at the same time to intercept them - unexpectedly, the old man suddenly turned around and slammed his body into the tip of the knife.

The Han brothers couldn't put away the knives, poofed twice, and the double knives entered the body.

The old man's hair was unkempt, he looked up to the sky and roared, struggling forward, allowing the two blades to pass through his body, forming a fatal wound.

No one expected that this old man who was not amazing would be so decisive, but in a few words, seeing that he could not do anything, he immediately induced the Han brothers to make a move and "help" him to cut himself.

A figure flashed in front of him, Zhang Fang pounced over, stretched his fingers, pressed the old man's head and twisted it to look at him: "If you want to die, you won't be stopped - leave your name first!" ”

At this moment, Zhang Fang launched forced hypnosis. Can forced hypnosis be applied to a dying person? What are the consequences? Zhang Fang didn't know, he had never tried it, but this time he had no choice but to try it once.

The four eyes are facing each other, a pair of pupils are as deep as a pool, reflecting the flames beating at two points, which is weird and terrifying. A pair of pupils gradually dilated, suddenly turned sharp, and his face was horrified and distorted.

"Name—"

"Giggle...... Don't ......," the old man's throat made a strange sound as if a knife cutting metal.

In the old man's horrified eyes, Zhang Fang looked up to the sky and muttered, "Shi Rong? Such a familiar name, who is he?! ”

Boom! The old man's body fell heavily, his eyes wide open, and he did not blink to death.
