An ancient road runs along the barren Gobi and all the way to the east.

This ancient road does not seem to have anything special, just like most of the roads that have been stepped on, but since its appearance, it has had a name destined to leave a name for centuries - the Silk Road.

At this time, although the Silk Road was under the control of the Turks, there were still many Han Chinese who traveled back and forth to do business on this road.

After all, the Turks were nomadic and had many things that they could not make themselves, but that they needed and urgently needed, such as tea, cloth, porcelain, and the like.

These Han merchants naturally came to buy and sell these things, and the Turks would not embarrass these merchants, but would try their best to ensure their safety at the official level.

It is true that these Turkic nomads did not cross the border to plunder people and rob, but robbery is robbery, and doing business is doing business.

Even so, this Moxi is still a very dangerous place for merchants, and some people are walking on this Silk Road, and their lives are gone.

At this time, on this ancient road, there was a caravan heading in the direction of Yumen Pass in the east.

The leader of the caravan, the merchant, drinking wine from the gourd, sat on his goods, and tossed along with the carriage, when he heard someone shouting outside:

"Boss, someone is coming this way."

"Robbers?"

"No, two people, one person seems to be injured or how to get it, and they are carried by the other person."

When the leader got out of the carriage, he saw that in the desert Gobi not far away, there was really a person carrying another person galloping towards this side, followed by a horse.

If it was a robber, he would definitely let people run away, but the other party was just two people and a horse, and at first glance, they encountered something and came to ask for help, and judging by the clothes of these two people, it seemed to be Han Chinese.

But what's the matter with that man? Wouldn't it be better to put the man on the back of the horse? Could it be that he was injured and didn't dare to let Ma Buan?

The merchant who led the team thought it was, probably because the Han merchant had encountered a robber or something, so he hurriedly raised his hand and shouted:

"Stop, stop."

He shouted to the entire caravan to stop, and the one who came with people on his back was naturally Wu Qiong, who had been walking all night.

At ten o'clock in the morning, he saw the caravan in the distance, so he hurriedly carried the unconscious Fu Hongyan on his back and ran towards this side.

He carried Fu Hongyan on his back all night, he was tired, thirsty and hungry, his throat was full of hot burns, his whole arm, it didn't feel like his own, his legs were shaking, his consciousness was already a little blurred, if he hadn't held on to his breath, I was afraid that he would have been tired and lying in this desert a long time ago.

Wu Qiong approached the caravan, and it was about seven or eight hundred meters away, and when he saw that some of them were coming on horseback, Wu Qiong hurriedly shouted:

"Help! Help! ”

Wu Qiong stumbled under his feet, and suddenly fell to the ground, kneeling on one knee, his whole body fell down, and he almost didn't fall Fu Hongyan down.

He just knelt on one knee on the ground, gasping for breath while letting Fu Hongyan's feet rest on the ground, so that his two arms could rest a little.

When he wanted to stand up again, he really couldn't do it at all, until those Han people on horseback surrounded the side, Wu Qiong knelt on one knee, carried Fu Hongyan on his back, and shouted with relief:

"Help, save people."

…………

The fiery hand stove was placed in the swinging carriage, and the whole carriage was warm.

Fu Hongyan was lying face down in the carriage, with a fine fur under him, and a woman dressed as a Jianghu person was kneeling beside her, who was swaying with the carriage with her eyes closed.

Fu Hongyan opened her eyes suddenly, and then the sensation in her body slowly recovered, first of all, the pain in her back, but she didn't make a sound, but quietly listened to the movements around her, and only then did she make sure that she was in a carriage.

She saw the woman dressed as a Jianghu person again, it was a Han Chinese.

[What about Wu Qiong? 】

She thought of Wu Qiong, and then thought of the things that happened before she fell into a coma, and she was actually stripped naked by Wu Qiong......

She bit her lip and was about to move her hands and feet, but suddenly heard someone lift the curtain, and then heard Wu Qiong's voice:

"How is she? Can you really wake up? ”

The woman dressed in rivers and lakes laughed and said:

"Lang Jun, don't worry, I have treated her wounds, her pulse is stable, it is estimated that it will not be long before she can wake up."

"That's good...... That's good......"

The curtain was lowered again, and then a bang was heard, apparently Wu Qiong jumped out of the carriage.

The carriage was still moving forward, and Fu Hongyan could more or less guess what happened later, obviously Wu Qiong took herself to meet these Han people, that is, they escaped.

Since it was not after falling into the enemy, Fu Hongyan was temporarily at ease, she moved, and the woman on the side saw the movement, hurriedly held Fu Hongyan's shoulder, and said:

"Girl, please lie down, I just changed the medicine for you, and I will get up again later."

When Fu Hongyan heard what she said, she didn't get up again, just lay on the fur, and then heard the woman say again:

"That Lang Jun just now, it's really amazing, I heard my senior brother say, he didn't have any martial arts, he just walked in the desert with you on his back all night, just met us and saved your life, his two arms were swollen later, the soles of his shoes were worn out, and his arms and legs couldn't be lifted, if it wasn't for my senior brother who opened up his muscles and bones for his activities, and dredged the blood vein, I'm afraid it will affect it in the future."

When Fu Hongyan heard this, his eyebrows moved, and he was silent for a while, before he asked hoarsely:

"Is there any water?"

The woman hurriedly brought the kettle and said with a smile:

"Patronizing to talk to you, forgetting you."

Fu Hongyan raised his right hand, took the kettle, and turned slightly sideways to drink water, only moving, and there was a hot pain behind him.

Fu Hongyan didn't dare to maintain his side for too long, and after drinking a few sips of water, he hurriedly fell down again.

It didn't take long to hear the curtain behind him being lifted again, and then I heard Wu Qiong's voice:

"Girl, it's not that I bother you, she really ......"

Wu Qiong was only halfway through her words, and then she saw the kettle in Fu Hongyan's hand, hurriedly opened the curtain completely and walked in, knelt beside Fu Hongyan, and asked:

"Are you alright?"

Fu Hongyan turned her face around, looked at Wu Qiong expressionlessly, and then said expressionlessly:

"It's fine, I can get up after a little rest."

Wu Qiong looked at Fu Hongyan's movements lying on his stomach, and said in a deep voice:

"Is that okay with you? Still remembered? If I hadn't ......"

Speaking of this, he stopped, touched his face, and walked out of the carriage again:

"Well, it's a little small here, don't disturb your rest, I'll go out."

Although it was to save people, Wu Qiong took advantage of Fu Hongyan, and now that people are awake, Wu Qiong is a little embarrassed, mainly because she is afraid of embarrassment.

When Wu Qiong went out, the woman laughed again and said:

"It's the most rare to meet a lover, I wait for a woman in the rivers and lakes, if you can meet a good marriage, you should catch it, he doesn't care about his own life, in this Moxi, he doesn't leave you injured, he is a man who really takes you to heart, affectionate and righteous."

Fu Hongyan didn't reply, but asked for something to eat, the woman handed over the naan, Fu Hongyan ate it one bite at a time, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

On the other side, after Wu Qiong exited the carriage, he saw a caravan escort riding over in front of him, and said to the leader of the caravan:

"The owner, I saw the army of the Great Zhou in front, it seems that the Turks really went to attack the Yumen Pass, this is the Great Zhou army to counterattack!"

Wu Qiong was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly walked to the side, and then heard the caravan leader ask:

"We're out of the way, are we?"

"No, they went in that direction, and they probably searched for the main force of the Turks, but I guess it's a little difficult, the Turks saw the Great Zhou army, and they had no choice but to flee."

The caravan leader nodded and said:

"That's good, let's go, let's go, continue to Yumen Pass."

And Wu Qiong on the side hurriedly asked:

"Brother, can you see the banner in the army?"

The knight of the guard, who had come back to report, nodded and said:

"Holding the Geng Zi flag, it should be the veteran General Geng Zhong."

Wu Qiong was a little disappointed and asked again:

"See the Imperial Flag? The Imperial Banner of the Son of Heaven? ”

The knight of the guard was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said:

"In this Gobi Desert, how can the Son of Heaven be here, the Son of Heaven is in Chang'an."

"No, the Son of Heaven defeated the Turks and the Xiongnu in Wugong Mountain, and then attacked Tianshui again, if Geng Zhong Chi came to the aid of Yumen Pass, the Son of Heaven she ......"

Wu Qiong paused here when he said this, and then thought of one thing, that is, Wu Zhi really didn't necessarily come to Yumen Pass.

Wu Zhi is the Son of Heaven, and the purpose of the Western Tour is to attack the King of Xiliang, and the goal has already been achieved. Even if the Turks attacked and disturbed Yumen Pass, Wu Zhi had no reason to come to Yumen Pass again.

Those generals, no matter how belligerent they are, will not coerce the Son of Heaven to come to such a bitter and cold place, let alone those civil servants.

Wu Qiong has been the Son of Heaven, and he also understands Wu Zhi's temperament, and Wu Zhi is also afraid of the spitting stars of those civil servants, and it is estimated that he will go back to Chang'an.

Do you dare to go back? Curse to death!

Wu Qiong thought of the way those Yushitai pointed their noses and scolded themselves, and now they think about it, it's a little cute.

It's just that when I think that I actually came to Da Zhou in the flesh, I don't know when I can go back, or if I can't go back?

If you can't go back, what will Jiu He Chun, Ouyang Xue, her parents, and her cousin do?

Do you want to stay in Da Zhou, or do you want to go back to modern times?

Wu Qiong's face flashed in her mind again, and it was a little difficult to choose for a while.

"Lang Jun, Kannai...... How can so many big things happen? ”

"Good! The Son of Heaven has won a big victory, this is a good thing! ”

Those people smiled happily, and Wu Qiong also nodded, and didn't say anything more.

The merchants learned the news of the Son of Heaven's victory over the Hu people from Wu Qiong's mouth, and everyone was happy for a while, and then the caravan continued to advance towards Yumen Pass, and did not move closer to the army of the Great Zhou.

I have to say that Fu Hongyan's recovery ability is indeed amazing, and with the help of the injury medicine, she actually rested for two days, and then walked out of the carriage the next day near evening.

If it weren't for the pale blood on her face, Wu Qiong would have thought that she hadn't been injured.

The caravan stopped near evening, and then set up camp on the spot and lit a fire, and Moxi at night was certainly not suitable for further travel.

Wu Qiong walked all night with Fu Hongyan on her back, and she didn't encounter wolves, which was fateful.

The guards began to discuss the night vigil and patrol, and the merchants began to talk nonsense around the fire.

Wu Qiong and Fu Hongyan also sat on the edge of the fire, holding the naan cake that had not changed for thousands of years, but they didn't brag, Wu Qiong was stunned for a long time, and she didn't know what to say to Fu Hongyan.

You said that they were not close, it was a life-threatening friendship between each other, and Wu Qiong even showed Fu Hongyan all of them.

You say intimacy, but in fact, everyone has only known each other for exactly five days.

As a result, I didn't say it, she didn't say it, this meal of naan was eaten quietly, and after eating, Fu Hongyan said:

"Thank you."

Wu Qiong looked at the back of Fu Hongyan leaving, and scratched her head, hey, after all, it made such an embarrassing scene, what do you say if you go to Chang'an City and be so embarrassed?

Wu Qiong has no good way, so she can only follow the old rules and take one step at a time.

And Fu Hongyan left the bonfire, but did not go back to the carriage, but found the woman who planned to go out on patrol with her senior brother, and asked:

"May I ask you, girl, do you have rouge, face fat?"

"Huh?"
