Chapter 276: Deserted Village

"Thank you Khan for your kindness, thank you Khan for your kindness!" The lieutenant was also a smart man, and he knelt in the rain and kowtowed to Usumish.

Usummish was so pleased with his influence that he felt comfortable even when he was drenched in rain.

What kind of person is An Lushan? In the Tang Dynasty, he is a very favored person by the emperor, who sees him and is not respectful and submissive?

But now, this high-ranking and powerful envoy in the Tang Dynasty is courteous to himself, doesn't this mean that he is famous?

Seeing him smile, An Lushan narrowed his eyes slightly, and hurriedly took off his battle robe and draped it on Usumish.

"General An, this is your battle robe, how can this king put it on his body? You can't do it! Usumishh didn't seem to expect An Lushan to put on his battle robe, although he couldn't help it, but his hands tightly grasped the collar, and his heart was simply happy.

An Lushan naturally saw it clearly, but he looked like he didn't know it, and said solemnly: "What's wrong with this? The Khan is a guest of honor in our court, and he is a great hero, and An is only worried that this small festival will make the robe and insult the reputation of the Khan! ”

Usumish opened his eyebrows and smiled, the general's robe represents the military might, since An Lushan even put this on himself, it means that he has great respect for himself, and Usumish began to decide to win over An Lushan.

"It's not early, why don't you make a fire and make a meal?" An Lushan scolded his soldiers, and then took Usumish into the dilapidated house.

The soldiers soon got busy, and within a few moments, a light smoke rose from the deserted village.

Rain cats and dogs. There is no intention of stopping.

Hundreds of beggars and displaced people were driven out of the deserted village, and they huddled together. Some are holding up their sleeves, while others are just picking up a few fallen leaves and putting them on their heads. I want to use it to shelter from heavy raindrops.

But the rain poured down and covered the sky, and the sleeves of this leaf seemed so small. How insignificant compared to this heaven and earth.

At this time, it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is getting cooler, and the torrential rain makes the temperature even colder.

In a corner, more than a dozen homeless people hid under a tattered straw mat, shivering from the cold.

"Wow~Wow~." There was a baby's cry from under the straw mat, and the voice seemed to have run out of strength. Soon a dull cry of woo-woo-woo was left.

"My child, my child has a fever and can't get caught in the rain anymore, my lord, please let my child take shelter from the rain!" Under the straw mat, a ragged woman knelt in the muddy water with a baby in her arms, crying and begging a servant in a cloaked hat.

The servant looked at the baby's pale face, and seemed to be a little unbearable. He sighed and said, "It's not that I won't let you go in to take shelter from the rain, but they drove you out, they are all court officials, and we can't do anything about it!" ”

"Your Excellency. I beg you to go and tell them that I don't shelter from the rain, but only my children shelter from the rain. My lord. I beg you, I beg you! The woman looked anxious. kowtowed desperately to the servant.

"It's not that I won't let you pass, it's ...... There's really nothing I can do! The servant clapped his fist hatefully. He let out a long sigh.

"Woo woo ~ my poor child, it's my mother who is sorry for you, it's my mother who can't take care of you, and my mother is sorry for you~. Woo."

The woman held the child tightly in her arms, a look of despair in her eyes.

At this time, the marching team had already begun to light a fire to cook, and the smell of rice wafted throughout the deserted village, and the beggars and homeless people licked their lips one after another.

They hadn't eaten for two days since they were driven out of Luoyang, and although the yamen would distribute rice porridge, there was not enough porridge to distribute, and many of them couldn't even drink rice soup.

Looking at the soldiers hiding under the eaves and eating hot meals, the beggars and homeless people swallowed their saliva one after another.

Although the ruined temple in the deserted village is dirty, it is still clean after cleaning, at least the ruined temple can shelter from the wind and rain.

The ground was covered with a thick blanket made of antelope fleece, and Usumishh sat on the head, wearing a general's robe, like the commander of an army, compared to An Lushan, who looked like a lieutenant.

The two staggered and talked happily.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed in: "Report ~ General, we found a wounded man, he claimed to be the forward of the scout battalion, saying that there is something important to tell the general!" ”

"Bring him in." An Lushan commanded casually.

The soldier nodded yes, and then left the ruined temple, and a moment later he dragged in a man who was covered in wounds and could no longer see his face.

"What is this?" Usummisch looked at the man in front of him, and almost didn't spit out the wine and meat he had just eaten.

The man squinted his eyes and crooked mouth, held a cane under his left shoulder, and faintly oozed blood from his right leg.

This person is none other than Kang Xu, who only has half a life left in order to blend in with the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu'.

According to Di Haotian's previous arrangement, it was to let him blend into the marching team, and then find an opportunity to assassinate An Lushan.

Kang Xu had every chance to escape from here, but he did not leave, but resolutely carried out the task assigned by Di Hatian.

He believed that even without him, Di Hatian would send someone else to assassinate him, not to mention, he guessed that the assassination of An Lushan was probably just a pretense, and if he wanted to find out what Di Hatian was doing, he had to investigate it himself.

What's more, this is a great opportunity to make Di Hatian believe in himself.

Kang Xu's eyes rolled a few times, he glanced at Wusumish, who was sitting at the top, and then at An Lushan, who was sitting on the side, and was slightly surprised in his heart.

"Who are you?" An Lushan asked.

"I am Ma Xiaoer, the pioneer of the Jin Wuwei scout battalion, I was ordered to come to meet the general, but I just came out of Luoyang but encountered a killer, our group of more than ten people except me, all the others were killed, and I was the only one who escaped." Kang Xu said tremblingly.

"You said you were a Jin Wuwei scout, what proof do you have?" An Lushan looked at Usumish, frowned and asked.

"This is my waist card, please look at it general." Kang Xu took out the waist card from his arms and presented it tremblingly.

An Lushan took the waist card and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was indeed the Jin Wuwei waist card, he handed the waist card to Usumish.

Usumishh didn't recognize what Jin Wuwei's waist card looked like, but An Lushan handed it to him, and he also pretended to look at it repeatedly, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, this is indeed Jin Wuwei's waist card." ”

"You just said that you were robbed and killed, what's going on?" An Lushan asked suspiciously.

"General Hui, not long after we left Luoyang, we were robbed and killed by a group of people in black, who were strong in martial arts and seemed to be people from the rivers and lakes." Kang Xu was on crutches and said with a sad face. (To be continued.) )
