Chapter 2 Wu Hook (Part I)

The few minor injuries sustained during the day's battles were a little painful, but not a big deal. Xuzi has suffered a wound like this many times before, and he has long been accustomed to it. He is now worried about the Yangwu side, if the guess is correct, while everyone is fighting with the Wagang army, there must be another group of bandits in the direction of Yangwu. And the leader who led the team was Xu Maogong, a good friend who used to live and die with him.

"There are more than 10,000 brothers and General Qin here, Master Zhang should be fine!" Seeing that his master was worried, Zhou Xing smiled and leaned forward to comfort him.

"Xu Mao's ability to use soldiers is far above Li Mi!" Li Xu sighed and replied faintly.

Without Xu Maogong, the Wagang Army was more than a step worse than before in terms of combat effectiveness and adaptability. Asahiko didn't know if she should be happy or sad about it. Shangcang took pity on him and didn't let him and Xu Maogong pull out their knives to face each other for life and death, but Shangcang arranged for Xu Maogong to deal with Zhang Xutuo.

"So he won't be like Li Mi, who always likes to take some uncertain risks!" Zhou Xing's insights have always been very unique, and this time it is almost to the point. Li Mi's style of command is like gambling, where a big win and a big defeat are only a fraction of a second. Xu Maogong is cautious and careful in his use of soldiers, and when he is not sure that he will kill his opponent with one blow, he will never show his teeth easily.

"You're right, Xu Mao's soldiers have always been steady!" Xu Zi breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "You have observed Li Mi and Xu Maogong very carefully, have you heard of them before?" ”

"I've been following you for so long, I have to grow a little!" Zhou Xing paused, and immediately showed a simple smile and replied.

"Poor mouth! You stand on the wall for me all night, and I'll go down and stretch!" Li Xu smiled and punched his own pro-soldier team and scolded. With that, he turned and walked to the horse path by the city wall.

The horse road has fallen into disrepair, and withered grass is constantly growing from between the broken bricks, trying to stumble on people. The soldiers ran forward to light the lantern to prevent Li Xu from falling down while walking on it, but Xuzi's steps were much more steady than they imagined, almost intuitively bypassing every pit and walking straight down.

On the road back to the temporary residence, Asahiko walked easily. Zhou Xing's hint was extremely correct, with Xu Maogong's caution, if the purpose was only to block reinforcements, he would not easily fight Zhang Xutuo. When the news of the end of the fighting along the canal passed, the Wagang army would quickly withdraw. And Zhang Xutuo will not chase and kill easily, and the coaches of both sides have a common characteristic, that is, they both take the lives of their brothers very seriously.

What made him feel even more relaxed was the feeling transmitted back at the moment when his fist smashed on Zhou Xing's body just now. He pounded into the stiff muscles, and only the whole body on alert would have a similar reaction. "The person who revealed everyone's whereabouts to Wagang is not Erya!" Asahiko grinned, letting the firelight illuminate her youthful face.

I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight, and the nightmare of being betrayed but unconscious in my memory is gone. He smiled and rode through the silent streets, past the puddles of starlight, and came to his temporary residence, only to find that Luo Shixin and the others had not slept, and were waiting for him under the lamp with a smile.

"Military intelligence?" Li Xu paused for a moment and asked in surprise.

"There's a guy who comes to you in the middle of the night and says it's your old friend!" Luo Shixin stepped forward, his face full of schadenfreude. After a vicious battle, and after more than half an hour of rapid travel in the rain, this person did not feel tired at all. At the mention of the word 'friend', the two eyes immediately lit up, as if they had just dreamed of marrying a daughter-in-law.

"Friends?" Li Xu's brows jumped up alertly. He didn't know who would risk their lives to find him in this chaotic moment, and he couldn't tell who he had such a deep friendship with.

"Maybe it's a liar, or maybe it's a trick!" Asahi speculated almost instinctively. Li Mi was beaten, but he still didn't give up. I still want to use that set of destiny to fool myself. "When you encounter this kind of swaggering and deceiving guy, you will fight out, how can there be friends who risk death to find it!"

"I don't dare to hit him, this man is very big!" Luo Shixin ordered someone to bring Li Xu wine and Xiao Ye, and said with annoyance. "I had him placed in the West Cross Courtyard, where four brothers were watching him. But it's hard work, brothers, and I don't get so tired of fighting! As if he wanted to see a joke, after the introduction, he didn't say goodbye, just sat opposite Li Xu with a smile, waiting for the next move of the master here.

"Let him be brought in, and I'll see where his friend is!" Li Xu had no choice but to take Luo Shixin's cheekiness, and after drinking half a bowl of wine, he ordered.

"General Li has an order, hurry up and invite the distinguished guest to him!" When Luo Shixin heard this, he immediately walked to the door and shouted loudly. Outside, there was a flurry of answers, mixed with staccato laughter. Before Xu Zi could clean the bowl of wine, the coaxing sounded again, and then there was a string of footsteps with wet shoes bubbling water, followed by the door curtain being lifted high by the guards, and a smell of sweat and copper sour poured into the house at the same time.

In an instant, Li Xu understood why Luo Shixin's smile was so weird. The person who came was dressed as an authentic Khitan tycoon, and at the end of June, when the ants were dying of ants, he was obliquely covered with half a bear skin. Under the black bear skin, I don't know if it's a yellow sheep or a camel, and the reddish-brown soft and hard leather is wrapped from the waist to the knees. Beneath his knees were a pair of high-waisted boots, apparently in the water on the way in, making a piercing "grunt" with every move.

"Distinguished friend, in front of the Khitan Palace, the Great Mei Lu Hebu Yan was ordered by the princess to come to the Central Plains to thank you for your kindness back then. Please take a distinguished seat, and be bowed down by the 200,000 people of my Yulin Department! When the visitor saw Li Xu, he quickly walked a few steps forward, supported his left chest, and bowed deeply.

The laughter around him was even louder, and even Yan Ru Li Xu couldn't help but laugh. The person who came was dressed so strangely, it was like he was deliberately making a fool of himself. I don't know what custom, but all the hair on the top of his head was stripped out, and when he bowed, his blue scalp was just exposed. It would be nice if all the hair was removed, but this person had a small braid on the back of his head and on the left and right ears. Each braid was tied with gold thread filled with cat's eye, agate, mutton fat, and red jade. When he bowed, the three braids swayed back and forth, trembling and dazzling.

"Your name is Hebuchen?" I don't know if I was smoked by the sour smell of the visitor, or I was shaken by the jewels, Xuzi's eyes were a little dazed. In his memory, he still had some vague impressions of the name. But this person is by no means a friend, and as for the Khitan Feather Forest Department, he has never heard of it.

"General Li is benevolent, righteous and kind, save my princess of the Yulin Department and get rid of the sea of suffering. I, the people of the Yulin Forest, will not forget it for a thousand years......" Without waiting for Xuzi to ask, the visitors babbled and sang, the tune was tactful and long, and every word seemed to contain deep affection.

Luo Shixin and the others covered their noses and mouths, apparently, they had already watched the singing and dancing of the visitors. The reason why I insisted on appreciating it again was just to see how Li Xu responded.

"General Li does not love beauty, and he has not committed any offence against the princess. General Li was not greedy for money and handed over all his family property to the princess. Year after year on the steppe, the ewes give birth to lambs, and the mare gives birth to ponies. A hundred strings of copper coins turned into thousands of strings, and the princess looked forward to it, but General Li was nowhere to be seen....... "The visitor continued to chant regardless of everyone's feelings." It's just that such an affectionate tune is sung by this man who exudes a sour smell all over his body, which really gives goosebumps on his body.

The smile froze on Xuzi's face little by little, the person who came was not a liar, he sang all the truth. It's a past that Xuzi doesn't want to remember, and he can't forget.

Before leaving Su Si's department, he handed over all his property to Ah Yun to take care of, and let Su Si Sier personally admit Ah Yun's freedom. The person who came was Ah Yun's subordinate, who came to repay the favor, and at the same time stuffed the past events from many years ago back into his memory.

"Alright, stop singing! Where is Ah Yun now, how did she become a princess again! Xuzi suddenly waved his hand and said in Turkic instead.

Changge paused instantly, and except for the visitors, all the people who watched the excitement widened. They didn't know what Li Xu was saying, but they could tell that it was a foreign language, and the guests who were good at praying and singing could just understand it.

"Distinguished guest, do you really remember Ah Yun from the Su Si Department!" The visitor replied in fluent Khitan and raised his head, revealing a pair of cunning eyes. "She was set free by your grace, and was soon taken up by her people to marry the greatest hero in the eastern steppe. She brought the Han people's shops, the living creatures of the Han people, and the Han people's methods of planting crops to the Yulin Department, so that our Yulin Department prospered! ”

"Ah Yun married into the Khitan tribe? Are you a Hebu Chen? He Bu Yan who deceived my war horse and jewelry, Pan Zhanyang! Xuzi completely remembered, rushed forward, grabbed the other party's neck by the collar, and shouted in Chinese.

It was Pan Zhanyang, Pan Zhanyang, who set fire to the Turkic camp with Big Eye and himself. In an instant, it seemed that the years had gone backwards, and Xuzi's heart was mixed.

Back then, Big Eye and he burned Ashina Choyu's camp with the help of Pan Zhanyang, and after escaping, Pan Zhanyang was unwilling to go with the two culprits, so he deceived two horses and some of them to go east. This person is very clever, and he must have deduced from the clues that an important person in the Suotou Xi Department fell on Su Si. And the Khitan and Xi people are known as the same clan, and when they learned of Ah Yun's whereabouts from Pan Zhanyang, they would definitely send someone to greet them.

The next development can be imagined. A Yun of the Su Si Department became the princess of the Khitans, and Pan Zhanyang happened to be favored by the princess with a bizarre experience. This kid has a hearty belly, and it is not difficult to mix in a high position under the tent of the Khitan king. And the small grocery store that Xuzi left in the Su Si Department must have also been relocated to the Yulin Department by Ah Yun, who had regained her free body. Therefore, the merchants who went out of the fortress had another sales point in addition to the Susi department, and the Yulin department also slowly prospered with the exchanges with the Central Plains people......

Li Xu's arm was trembling, and his voice was trembling. "Ah Yun went to Khitan, where are Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang?" It had been a long time since he had heard from outside the Cypriots, and he thought he had forgotten all about the experience. But today, I realized that those memories are so fresh, as if everything happened yesterday.

He really wanted to ask Tao Kuo to take the silk, but he couldn't help but keep the name in his heart. It's been more than five years, Tao Kuo has been married a long time ago, I don't know if her smile is still as bright as it was back then?

This person actually deceived General Li's war horse? The soldiers who watched the excitement instinctively stretched out their hands to their waist knives, however, they didn't see the slightest annoyance from Xuzi's expression. On the contrary, at this moment, General Li's face was filled with not only the excitement of meeting old friends in a foreign country, but also a lot of regrets that could not be concealed.

"General Li, General Li, your subordinates have mercy. Hebu Yan, no, Pan Zhanyang is about to be strangled to death by you! "The stinking guests were dressed in rough clothes and protested intermittently.

"You deserve to die, who told you to lie to my war horses and jewels!" Li Xu smiled and smacked Pan Zhanyang onto the stool.

"Changshengtian testified that I just borrowed it back then, and I didn't think about not paying it back. You are now the richest man in our Feather Forest besides the Great Khan, with a thousand horses, three large flocks of sheep, and more than four hundred camels. Wang Kewang and Zhang Ji are still in the Su Si Department, operating another property under your name, in addition to the shop, there are also hundreds of horses and thousands of sheep. The princess said that as long as she finds you, she will send someone to move the goods from the two ministries together at any time and send them to the Central Plains for you! So, those two horses, a few broken stones, I guess you won't ask me for it again! Pan Zhanyang sat upright and replied with a hippie smile.

"Phew, you must be clear about the profit today, otherwise, don't want to get out of my handsome account!" Li Xu slapped the table hard and shouted.

"That's not good, I've already traveled half of the Central Plains in order to find you! The bare boots are ground up several pairs! Pan Zhanyang covered the cowhide purse around his waist and protested loudly.

"Congratulations to General Lee on his fortune! I'll stay away for the time being, and don't disturb the reconciliation between the general and the people! Luo Shixin smiled and glanced at his companions around him, and led everyone to retire. Since Xuzi came to Qi County, few people have seen him smile as happily as he did tonight. This happy mood also infected many people, and everyone's steps became relaxed, and the starlight on their heads was also bright.

"General Li actually speaks Khitan!" After walking a few steps, one of the guards said in admiration.

"That's Turkic dialect, General Li was ordered to go to Turkic to buy horses, of course he can speak a few Turkic words!" Luo Shixin replied loudly, sincerely proud of his companion. "It is said that he was only fourteen years old at the time, and he walked thousands of miles alone without being injured!"

He remembered that when he was fourteen years old, he had the audacity to break into Zhang Xutuo and sign up to kill the thief. "At the beginning, Zhong Jian and I were the same age!" Luo Shi silently thought about the past in his confidence, and he couldn't help but smile all over his face.
