Under Xu Qing's instructions, Li Xiu'er spent money to invite eighteen Eastern Turkic herdsmen who sent horses over to Dunhuang through Yumen Pass, leading away the pursuing soldiers sent by the chiefs of the Eastern Turkic tribes, and Li Xiu'er's men exchanged clothes with the Eastern Turkic herdsmen.

In order to avoid the encirclement and interception of the Eastern Turks, Li Xiuer had to release all the camels into the wild, carry Li items with horses, and together with Xu Qing, led eighteen surviving subordinates, under the guidance of Yang Ziyan, the female robber of the Black Wind Ridge, rode a horse for 400 miles, and came to a place called Heifeng Lian in the Beishan Mountains northeast of Yumen, where the terrain is steep, the forest is dense, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the straight-line distance from the Silk Road is within 300 miles, within a day's journey of fast horses, so it is used as a robber's nest by the robbers.

Xu Qing is riding a horse for the first time, Li Xiu'er's escort leader Tiemaibuti has the best riding skills, but she doesn't know Chinese, she can't teach Xu Qing, Yang Ziyan's riding skills are also very good, but Xu Qing still doesn't trust her at the moment, she can ride a horse, but she doesn't dare to say that Li Xiu'er, who is superb in riding, has to ignore the dual important identities of the Western Turk * Turk county lord and the khan and the secret envoy, and personally teach Xu Qing to ride a horse, and also ride a horse with Xu Qing, and teach Xu Qing hand in hand.

Holding Li Xiu'er's soft, warm and elastic waist and abdomen, and smelling the intoxicating girl's body fragrance, Xu Qing felt very comfortable, obviously learned, and pretended not to learn, until the poor horse under him was almost foaming at the mouth, slowing down significantly, unable to keep up with the large army, Xu Qing remembered that the pursuing soldiers of the Eastern * Turk * Turks were not far away, so he was reluctant to part with Li Xiu'er and each rode a horse. Li Xiu'er is so big, it is the first time she has been hugged by a man, and this man is a man who Li Xiuer has a good impression of, but she doesn't dare to love, she can't love a man, her pretty face is shy, her heart is shy, she can't concentrate, I really don't know how she taught Xu Qing to ride a horse.

When the group arrived at the Black Wind Ridge Cottage, it was already noon the next day. When all the robbers saw Yang Ziyan, they saluted her and greeted: "The master is back." "The checkpoints are unimpeded. Yang Ziyan led Xu Qing to visit the entire cottage, trenches, suspension bridges, tunnels, arrow towers, watchtowers, basements, martial arts arenas, righteous halls, and armories, which are both like cottages and military camps, and it is more appropriate to say that they are a complex of the two. The weapons and armor in the armory are used by the regular army at first glance, and they are well-made and have steel stamps, and the number of these weapons and armor is enough to equip 10,000 people.

The armory is in the underground secret room, which is a forbidden place for cottages, and Yang Ziyan has no reservations about Xu Qing. Xu Qing asked Yang Ziyan curiously: "Your cottage looks like there are only a few hundred people, and the weapons and armor here can equip at least 10,000 people, why do you want so many weapons and armor?" Do you want to rebel? ”

Yang Ziyan's beautiful eyes lit up and said, "You are so smart, I can't hide anything from you." To tell you the truth, my grandfather was the son of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, named King Xu, guarded the northwest border, was surrendered by the Turks in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and married as a princess. Later, the Turkic princes competed for the throne and split into Eastern and Western Turks, which were broken by the Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of Zhenguan (630), my grandfather was killed in the war with the Tang Dynasty. After that great war, the Eastern Turks perished, and the tribes returned to the Tang Dynasty and were able to stay in their original places. Shortly after my father was born, the Eastern Turkic royal family was forcibly moved to live in Chang'an, and my grandmother's country was ruined, and she committed suicide unwilling to be humiliated, and went with my grandfather. Fortunately, my grandfather has several family members who will be the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, and they will guard the northwest with my grandfather, and then return to the Turks together, they will not be ordered by the Tang Dynasty to disband the army, dismiss those who do not want to follow them, and lead the 3,000 people who are willing to follow them to fall into the grass, take my father as the young master, and raise my father as an adult. When my father became an adult, he gave up the position of the owner of the village to my father.

When I was eight years old, my father, in order to avenge his country's hatred and family hatred, went deep into the south of the Yangtze River to form an anti-Tang secret organization, and was killed by the intelligence agencies of the Tang Dynasty.

These weapons were left behind by my grandfather, and my father kept them privately. Time is too long, many have rusted, I'm afraid they can't be used in actual combat, I have been reluctant to put it here, this is the relics left by my grandfather and my father, it is a memorial, but also a record of my family's glorious past, always remind me to do something, can not live this life in a mess. ”

It turned out that Yang Ziyan was a descendant of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, and she had noble blood flowing on her body. She also has Xianbei and Turkic aristocratic blood, no wonder she was born so beautiful. As a descendant of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Ziyan shouldered the family mission of reviving the Sui Dynasty and avenging her grandfather, grandmother, and father, so she had to raise money and accept the heavy money bribed by the Eastern Turks.

Yang Ziyan seemed to be able to feel that Xu Qing's gaze had changed when she looked at her, and she had an appreciation for her beauty.

The Tang Dynasty was powerful before the Anshi Rebellion, and it was a dead end to oppose the Tang Dynasty and restore the Sui, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was a famous tyrant and faint monarch, and it was impossible to regain the support of the common people, so it was impossible to succeed, but if it was the chaotic era of the end of the Tang Dynasty and the division of feudal towns, it would be another matter. Xu Qing still didn't know which emperor of the Tang Dynasty he was under and asked, "Who is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty now?" ”

Yang Ziyan was surprised, the person she chose was not from the Tang Dynasty, not the Eastern Turks, nor the Western Turks, so where was he from, although he had doubts in his heart, he still replied: "Now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is nominally Gaozong Li Zhi, but Li Zhi is not in good health, but in fact, Gaozong's empress Wu Zetian is in charge of the government." ”

Xu Qing said: "The Tang Dynasty was very powerful, and after a brief decline during Wu Zetian's reign, it would enter another period of greater strength. The decline of the Tang Dynasty is a hundred years later, so I advise you not to have the idea of reviving the Sui Dynasty, which is simply impossible to accomplish and will only make your life full of pain, hardship and danger. ”

Yang Ziyan couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Where are you from?" Why can we predict a hundred years from now? ”

Xu Qingdao: "I am an astrologer, my home is in a big country called Shenzhou, 80,000 miles away (about one week around the earth), you may not have heard of it, I can see the future by watching the stars at night." So you have to trust me. ”

Yang Ziyan exclaimed: "Shenzhou? Eighty thousand miles? So far? In her imagination, the earth was flat, 80,000 li was too far away, far beyond her imagination, and the farthest distance she knew was the Great Food Country (Arabia) west of the Western Regions.

Xu Qing was afraid that he would accidentally say that he was a person from the future world who came through time and space to scare Yang Ziyan, so he quickly avoided the question and said, "Don't talk too far, let's solve the problem first, I'm hungry, are you hungry?" ”

Yang Ziyan said: "Oh, I'm sorry, I took you to this place, I forgot the time when I saw things and thought about people." Let's go, let's eat, now the meal should be ready. ”

At noon, Yang Ziyan held a grand banquet to entertain Xu Qing, and Li Xiuer and her subordinates entertained in another room.

Xu Qing sat next to Yang Ziyan. Yang Ziyan changed back into the costume of a noble girl, noble and beautiful, Xu Qing's eyes were straight, he only knew what a beauty was today, compared with Yang Ziyan's beauty, the female star who dared to appear in front of the public by makeup in the future world is simply not worth mentioning, he only understood the meaning of the words "alluring the country and the city" today, and it is Yang Ziyan's unparalleled beauty.

During the banquet, Yang Ziyan introduced the loyal generals of the Yang family to Xu Qing one by one.
