When it was just getting dark, Lu Bing and his party rushed to a small town on the border, ready to settle down and rest. Speechless all the way, Lu Bing, who had just killed many people, was churning with murderous anger in his heart, and he didn't want to speak, so he just walked silently, where did anyone dare to talk. It wasn't until they stayed that the group dressed in black was brought to Lu Bing, and Lu Bing asked, "Who are you, and why are you being chased and killed by horse thieves?" ”

The man with martial arts who had met Lu Bing before took off his scarf at this time and said, "Lord Hui, you killed their big boss when we met before, and we leaked money, so we made a feud." You know this, now this group of horse thieves is coming for our possessions, and I have heard in the fight that whoever kills us all will be the big boss and so on. ”

Lu Bing nodded, it seemed that it was no different from what he guessed: "Then who are you?" ”

The handsome young man stopped talking and looked at one of the men in black, who nodded and walked out and took off his veil. There was a burst of exclamation from the masked man in black, and someone came out to stop him, but he heard the man say, "There is no need to be rigid in front of the sages, let alone to hide anything. The voice was like a nightingale singing, how nice it sounded, it was a young woman's voice.

Lu Bing was shocked, and Qi Jingtong, who was present, was also taken aback, and the woman took off her veil and stripped off the hat on her cloak. The flaxen-colored hair is casually pulled behind the back, the delicate facial features fall in the most standard position very atmospherically, and the big watery eyes can be called autumn water cuts. She looks different from the Central Plains beauties, very exotic, has a different sense of beauty, bewitching and atmospheric, enthusiastic and seductive.

Lu Bing was stunned, his wife was not a beauty who could be regarded as one in a million miles and a woman in the country, but in front of this woman from the Western Regions, she became a vulgar fan.

The woman bowed down and performed a Han man's blessing ceremony, and her movements were slightly rusty. Obviously, it was for Lu Bing's sake, and he shouldn't have done it in normal times. The rest of the people knelt on one knee, with their right hand on their hearts, and they should have given Lu Bingxing a big salute according to their own etiquette. This made Lu Bing a little overwhelmed.

"Everyone, please get up." Lu Bingdao.

The woman stood up and said, "Get up, thank you to the sage for saving me before, if it wasn't for the sage's action, Gu would have fallen off the horse and died just now." Only then did Lu Bing understand that it was this woman who was rescued on the horse just now, no wonder it was so fragrant, but why did she call herself lonely? You must know that loneliness cannot be used casually, the woman's Chinese language is good, you should know that loneliness is accompanied by His Royal Highness, and only independent kings and princes can use it. Even if Lu Bingquan leans towards the government and the opposition, he can't use it casually, and it is a big rebellion to use it indiscriminately.

The woman said: "Lone is the princess of the Western Regions, the country is ruined, and the clan is ruined, so she flees and wanders everywhere, and only the remaining ministers of the clan are loyal to protect me. The number of people is decreasing, some are dying of disease and some of them are dying of war. Thanks to the general's help, he saved us twice, which saved our lives, and I am really grateful. ”

Lu Bing hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it is the duty of the eldest husband to draw a knife to help when he sees injustice, so why worry about it." We still have important matters to return to the capital of Daming. The horse thief has been driven away, and the princess doesn't have to worry, but she can't reveal her wealth in the future, lest the bad guys have bad intentions and add a lot of trouble, right? Lu Bing didn't say much, nor did he ask what kind of people they were. The two sides are just meeting in Pingshui, even if the woman is in the country and the city, it is difficult to intersect, and she still has important things to do, how can she focus on the private affairs of her children. Besides, I have a wife and children waiting at home, beauty, just take a look. The words just now are double-light, not only the meaning of reminder and warning, but also the implication of chasing away customers.

"Thank you, General, for your concern." The princess said: "Dare to ask the general's surname, and we will repay the general in the future." ”

"It's just a trivial matter, so there's no need to worry about it." Lu Bing only felt that the princess must have some stories, and he was only afraid of causing trouble, so he didn't want to leave his name, let alone ask the princess's name.

The princess saw that Lu Bing was reluctant to tell him, but she didn't ask, but she was not discouraged, and took a step forward and said: "If our country is ruined, can we follow the general to Daming to settle down?" ”

"This" Lu Bing looked at Qi Jingtong with a slight hesitation, and the woman bowed down to Qi Jingtong again: "The general is tired." It turned out that she regarded Qi Jingtong as the supreme general, and it is no wonder that along the way, Lu Bing called Qi Jingtong the world's brother, and Qi Jingtong never called Lu Bing the main father. Naturally, Qi Jingtong is an official of the Ming Dynasty rather than Lu Bing's private army, and no matter how good the relationship is, the name cannot be messed up. And Qi Jingtong is indeed more like a general, he is more than 20 years older than Lu Bing in age, he has an extraordinary bearing, and he exudes a sense of superiority and a sense of not being angry and arrogant in commanding thousands of troops, which makes any outsider easy to misunderstand and think that Qi Jingtong is the boss.

Now in the big tent, Lu Bing and Qi Jingtong are sitting regardless of their superiors, and when they are worshiped by the princess, Qi Jingtong is embarrassed, and Lu Bing laughs evilly. Qi Jingtong laughed dryly, and when he saw Lu Bing smiling at himself, he also played with his heart, but he agreed, and said that he would fight a rake, anyway, it was not a big trouble, so Lu Bing did not explain the situation but made it bad, and he was also bad, so he said: "That's right, you go with the army, and then make plans after you get to Daming." ”

This time it was Lu Bing's turn to be surprised, the princess and the others went down to rest, leaving Lu Bing to secretly figure out how to settle this princess in distress.

When they hurried again on the second day, the princess had already taken off her veil and walked side by side with Lu Bing, and the two chatted all the way, and Lu Bing finally had a certain understanding of their life experience. It turned out that they were the Qiang people of the Western Regions, and the Qiang people had a huge power, and established many independent but slightly connected states in the north and west of the Central Plains.

Later, the Qiang slowly divided into more than a dozen races. Although they are all Qiang people, they are warlike and have constant contradictions with each other on the grounds of territorial beliefs and other reasons, and natural wars are continuous. Each of the regimes established does not have a long lifespan, and the territory is not large, either today you will fight me or tomorrow I will fight you, the territory is getting smaller and smaller, and the number of people is getting smaller and smaller. The princess belongs to the Baiqiang people of the Western Regions, and is a somewhat Turkic Qiang people, and the country where she is located is called the Half Moon Country, and she has been dead for six years. The so-called princess was actually just an exiled princess, and even his father was just a king in exile in a small court. In other words, the princess was just the daughter of a rebel leader.

After entering Jiayuguan, Lu Bing's intelligence officers began to increase, and Lu Bing privately asked someone to inquire about the past of the Half Moon Kingdom. There are not many records of this country, except for some trade records, and there are only a few nephrite and precious stones produced there. The country was very small, only three or four cities, the military strength was not strong, the country was not rich, and it was also destroyed by the Qiang people of the same race and clan, and then the country was destroyed by the Tatars. Later, after some resistance, the small court of Baiqiang was established in the northwest of the Banyue Kingdom, that is, the place where the princess's father called the country.

The princess's name is Neuer Sangli, which is also a very Turkic name, in fact, you don't need to look at the name, you can see it by her appearance alone.

Lu Bing is not too interested in this Qiang princess, it's not that the princess is not beautiful. The princess of the country is only suspicious because of her identity, and Lu Bing also saw a faint utilitarianism and viciousness from Neuer's body, the more beautiful the woman, the more vicious, Lu Bing remembered a novel he had read before the crossing, and he was wary of Neuer and stayed away.

Lu Bing is not strong in racial consciousness, but he is a supporter of the Han nation. As early as the time of the Wuhu Rebellion, the Han people were not less ruined by the Qiang people, so Lu Bing's impression of the Qiang people has not been very good. Of course, the past history can't tell the story, it is normal for a weak country to be bullied if it has no diplomacy and a weak army, but for the daughter of this person in power, Lu Bing always thinks of the great hero Ran Min's killing order and the history of blood and tears of the Han people.

In contrast, Neuer loves to stick to Lu Bing very much, and Lu Bing always thinks this princess is weird. It is true that his appearance is mighty, tall and strong, and his momentum is even more extraordinary, but if he purely looks at his appearance, it is fair to say that Lu Bing is not as good as the chief guard of the princess, that is, the man he has seen before.

Then there can only be three results, the princess and Lu Bing are right, this result is unlikely. The second possibility is that they know Lu Bing's true identity, and they have a plan to approach Lu Bing, after all, Lu Bing's real influence in the Western Regions is far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty. It's not very likely, because it's just a chance encounter, unless it's a trick from the start.

But this set is also too risky, and the uncontrollability is too great. And if this plan is true, then there must be an accurate grasp of the time and place of the two coincidences, which requires a super strong intelligence organization, if they really have such an organization, then they have the ability to control such an organization, even if they don't rely on Lu Bing, they can restore the country, so why bother to make a show.

The third possibility is that they don't know who Lu Bing is, but they are really desperate, and they go to the doctor when they are sick, but whenever they see a Ming general who has a little power, they will take refuge. Because of the opportunity with Lu Bing, he got involved with Lu Bing, and borrowed Lu Bing as a pedal, so as to slowly contact the Ming Dynasty to complete their goals.

For Lu Bing himself, he told Princess Neuer that his name was Lu Wei, of course, this was not the first time he used his brother's name, and it was easy to use it.

The team continued eastward, all the way to the territory of Shuntianfu without a book. The spies contacted Lu Bing every day to deliver news, and there have not been many changes in the Ming Dynasty recently, nothing more than the battle of words and swords in the court and the sad news of poor harvests in various places. Of course, the stability of the surrounding war can be regarded as a dose of fierce medicine for the people of the imperial court, although the good news has little to do with the interests of the people in the mainland, the situation has finally stabilized, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty do not have to worry about it, at least it sounds like the news of a big victory is better than a big defeat. The north and south spans of the Ming Dynasty is very large, and it is a big agricultural country, and it is difficult to prevent disasters, but fortunately, Zhu Houxi was able to hold his ground, and the disaster relief and grain relief were done well and the disaster was not very serious, which can be described as a blessing in misfortune.
