Chapter 0004: Yerong City

After a while, the girl came to the stable with two more pancakes, and she crouched down in front of Leon with a harmless smile on her face and asked, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

Li Ang was a little curious in his heart, the border army inside didn't look for her bad luck, and asked her to come over. This inevitably made Leon feel that she was a little mysterious.

Li Ang raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Thank you just now." ”

"Thank me for what? I didn't do anything, don't wrong me. ”

The girl denied it repeatedly, and then picked up a fried bun and put it on Li Ang's mouth, Li Ang opened her mouth and just wanted to bite it, she quickly put the pancake back, and then lured Li Ang like a human trafficker: "I heard them say that you are a Tibetan spy, and now I will interrogate you, if you answer me honestly, I will give you fried buns to eat." ”

"I'm not a Tibetan spy." Li Ang looked back at the hotel, although those Tang soldiers did not come, they were paying attention to the movement here. "These officers and soldiers are not good people, there is a caravan of thirty or forty people in front of them, all of whom have been killed, not only do they not track down the murderer, but they also bury the bodies in the ravine, which is clearly destroying the corpses. I have a valuable gold knife and a jade wrench on my body, and if they want to embezzle it, they will arrest me as a spy, you are a girl, be careful, and leave quickly. ”

"Really?" The girl's apricot eyes were particularly beautiful, and her eyes rolled to show a scared look, "Oh, what can I do?" ”

"You don't pretend to be a little pretentious, I have a good heart, believe it or not."

He said everything that should be said, if this little girl doesn't believe it, then she can only ask for more blessings. Leon didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, so he simply didn't look over, and he just saw a small head poking out of the bushes a few meters away.

"Tinker Bell!"

Leon's eyes widened, and he looked at the grass and was stunned for a moment, when the little wolf who had escaped came with a chicken in his mouth.

It looked at the grass, and immediately ran over, put the chicken next to Leon, and then rubbed it on him, licking Leon like a long-lost relative.

"Is this your puppy?" The girl looked at the little wolf with stars in her eyes.

Tinker Bell spun around Leon twice, then turned around and tore the chicken, quickly tore off a chicken leg, and then climbed onto Leon's shoulder to feed him.

The chicken leg is bloody, and it is connected with hair, how can Li Ang eat it, "Tinker Bell, you go, go quickly, don't let the gang inside see it, go quickly!" ”

When the little wolf did not listen to him, when he did not eat, he spit out the drumsticks, and circled him two more times, and then went to bite the rope that bound him.

"So smart! It's so cute! The girl's pair of apricot eyes followed the little wolf and kept turning her head, never leaving its body for a moment, the stars in her eyes twinkling, the cute little mouth was even more upturned, she reached out and touched the little wolf's body, the little wolf was busy biting the rope, let her touch it.

"It's called Tinker Bell, isn't it? Can you give it to me? ”

"Tinker Bell, this way, this way, bite fast!" Leon also had a glimmer of hope that if the wolf could bite the rope, he would be able to grab a horse and run away.

"Sell! If it's sold, I'll give you ten dollars, and you can sell this puppy to me. ”

"Twenty times!"

"One hundred!"

"So how much do you want? Anyway, I'm going to decide on this puppy! Make an offer, I warn you, don't open your mouth. ”

Tang Jun in the restaurant was full, took his weapon and began to walk towards the stable, Li Ang was anxious, he struggled hard, but he still couldn't break the rope, and the little wolf was so anxious that he roared, "Tinker Bell, it's too late, you run!" Come on! ”

The girl was still interjecting on the side: "What are you running?" If you give it to me, I can protect it. ”

Li Ang's heart was already anxious, Tinker Bell didn't listen to him, and was still biting desperately, and seeing that those Tang troops were about to come to the stable, in a hurry, Li Ang instinctively let out a wolf-like roar: "Huh!! ”

Not only did the little wolf hear his angry howl and hurriedly rushed to the grass, but the girl was also startled.

She took a few steps back, and said angrily to Li Ang: "What are you howling, how much do you want, you say it, I don't want to give it" Speaking of this, she reluctantly looked at the grass where Tinker Bell had gone, and a sly light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and then she stepped forward and whispered. "Well, let's exchange, I'll exonerate you, you give me the puppy, how about it?"

"You?" Leon glanced at her.

"What, you don't believe me?"

"Little girl, it's going to rain, hurry up and go home and collect your clothes!"

"Humph!" The girl grasped the hilt of her sword hanging from her waist and said disdainfully, "You wait and see." ”

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Those five big and three rough Tang Jun came over, and went directly to Li Ang to mention the horse, and the girl was afraid of being squeezed by them, so she hurriedly retreated.

She went to stand in front of the bearded horse's horse and said, "I asked, he is not a Tibetan spy." I know your lieutenant, so give him to me. ”

"There are more people who know our captain." The bearded man said impatiently, "Just now you let the scorpion sting my brother, and a certain family hasn't bothered with you, get out of the way!" Drive! ”

The bearded whip was whipped on the horse's buttocks, and the war horse rushed over.

The girl hurriedly got out of the way, and seeing that this group of Tang Jun was taking Li Angchi away, she was so angry that she shouted from behind: "You wait! You're good-looking! ”

Yerong City is built by the mountain, the length and width are only a mile square, lonely, you can see a big flag of "Tang" on the city gate tower from afar, and it is blown by the evening breeze from time to time.

The city is very high and majestic, and the walls are dried, and there are many traces left by the impact of arrows and stones, which are mottled. More than a dozen Tang soldiers patrolled the city gate tower, and the scene of a faction of side voices and horns rising, and the scene of a lonely city closed at sunset.

There was a sound of hooves, a burst of smoke and dust, the bearded team was a total of fifty horses, galloping straight to the outside of the city for a hundred paces before slowing down the horse, and the Tang army at the head of the city raised his voice and shouted: "Wu team is zheng, can you get anything today?" ”

"Nope!" The bearded man responded to the word, and then led his men into the city, the city gate hole is not big, the sound of hooves is particularly deafening, there is an urn city inside, about twenty meters long.

The dwellings in the city are surrounded by the walls, there are no shops facing the street, there are not many pedestrians on the street, they are sparse, it seems a little deserted, the afterglow of dusk is reflected down, and wisps of smoke float all over the city with the wind.

Li Ang looked at this border city of the Tang Dynasty, judging from the sparse pedestrians, this border city is probably mainly for military purposes, with a wall blocking it, and there are not many things to see.

The barracks in the south of the city are very spacious, and on the school field paved with loess, flags are fluttering, and nearly 100 Tang troops are waiting for dinner, shouting and shouting.

As soon as he entered the barracks, Leon was locked up in a small stone house, which only had a small window less than a foot long and wide, and a faint light penetrated in, and the smell of mold was exuded inside.

The rope on Leon's body was finally untied, and he sat down on the haystack in the corner, rubbed his numb hands and feet, and gently touched the wound on his left foot with his hand, which felt less painful than it had been a few days ago.

Li Ang's mother used to be a doctor, and she opened a clinic by herself, and he had some superficial medical knowledge, so he must have had some effect on the herbs he picked indiscriminately in the mountains, and the injuries were actually improved, which was a great comfort for him in danger.

The most important thing at the moment is how to get rid of the control of these border troops, if he doesn't think about it, he will probably be tortured to death in this dark stone house.

With Leon's character, even if he had to die in the end, he was not willing to die so poorly.

The girl said that she wanted to rescue him in exchange for Tinker Bell, and Leon deliberately showed a disdainful expression, which was not without the intention of agitation, usually teenage men and women, the most unbearable.

However, the girl is quite cunning, and the agitation method may not work for her, and Tinker Bell has run away, and she may not spend her strength to save herself for Tinker Bell.

In short, Leon didn't dare to pin all his hopes of getting out on her.

It can be inferred from the actions of these Tang soldiers who buried the dead in the ravine that they obviously did not want this matter to make a big fuss. Along the way, Li Ang secretly analyzed, what is there in it?

If you can figure out why, you may be able to figure out a way out.

Leon leaned against the haystack and racked his brains to think that time for himself might not be running out, and that he had to figure out the key as soon as possible.

The caravan border army of the Tang Dynasty Tubo, these border troops want to suppress this matter, it must be that the news of the caravan being killed is not good for them after the news spreads, in this case, this caravan must have something to do with these border troops, what is the relationship?

It is common for the border army to trade with foreign tribes privately, but on the way, I heard the soldier say that the Fang family caravan had helped the Jiedu envoy to transport salt, and it might have something to do with the Jiedu envoy. From his words, it can be roughly assumed that this caravan is not their own.

Li Ang remembered the Shanxi merchants at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was very famous, the Ming Dynasty was at war with the Manchus outside the Guan, and those merchants in Shanxi transported strategic materials to the Qing army outside the Guan, making huge profits from them, and later even became the eight imperial merchants of the Manchu Dynasty.

It is conceivable that those Shanxi merchants must have bought off the Ming army in the border area at that time, so that they could deliver supplies to the Manchus on a large scale.

To paraphrase it, is it the Fang family that trafficked out of the country is also prohibited materials, and the Fang family bribed these Tang troops who were on the border, so these Tang troops were released in violation of regulations.

If this is the case, then it can roughly explain the strange situation that so many people died in the Fang family's caravan, and these border troops wanted to suppress the matter instead. After all, if the matter is really investigated, it is likely that they will be found to have taken bribes and violated the ban and let them go.

Of course, all this is just Leon's inference, and it is difficult to say whether this is the case or not.

If you can't find the cause, you can't prescribe the right medicine! How do you get out?
