Chapter 719: A Thousand Miles Away (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The spears and swords stuck in the corpses were more vigorous than the vigorous weeds in the fields, and the ownerless war horses staggered across the blood-stained grasslands, and in the pillows of the corpses, occasionally a bloodied warrior would get up, staggering to his feet, either with his intestines pierced or with stumps and legs, struggling slowly, like a zombie.
Two passers-by seemed to be stupefied by the endless corpses, one of them led his horse, strode stiffly forward, and after only a few steps, his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground, while the other man in green clothes hurriedly dragged him up.
The thin man who was dragged up by him looked at the battlefield full of corpses with a dull gaze, his face was as pale as paper, and the young man with two black moles on his cheeks looked at him uneasily, and said in a low voice: "The sect master is strong in martial arts, he ...... It should be safe and sound. ”
It is strange that such an ugly man speaks in a soft and pleasant female voice.
"No...... Possibly. No matter how high the art industry is, in this thousands of troops, it is also ...... It can't be ......," the thin-cheeked man said in a trembling voice, and before he could finish the sentence, tears were already glistening in his eyes.
These two people are Tian Ainu and Gu Zhuting.
Tian Ainu grinded Xiaoman for several days, and she promised herself that in fact, Anu could say goodbye without saying goodbye, but she didn't want to do it. She is a very intelligent woman, and she knows that getting along with Xiaoman like a sister, and maintaining a close relationship all the time is the key to the harmony of this family.
When Yang Fan left, he handed over this home to Xiaoman, with Xiaoman's temper, if she acted alone, Xiaoman would certainly not treat her because of this, but the relationship between the two people would inevitably be estranged.
Sometimes, water and fire are incompatible, and it develops from a trace of dislike.
Relationships are gears, which need to be lubricated and maintained at all times.
After Xiaoman couldn't be tortured and finally agreed to her, Gu Zhuting immediately found out Yang Fan's team through the "Succession Hall". And then set off on a trail. But I don't want to. When they arrived here, they saw only one dead body, an endless stream of dead bodies, as if this was the Shura Hell.
Seeing Anu's desperate expression, Gu Zhuting couldn't help frowning, and said, "Anu, it's impossible for more than 100,000 troops to be killed. We were on our way. Didn't you see the defeated soldiers? You see that there are still people alive here, although the sect master has the possibility of dying in battle, it is more likely that he is still alive, why are you scaring yourself like this first? ”
Anu's eyes lit up and he muttered, "Not bad! As long as his body hasn't been found, he's not necessarily dead. Maybe...... Maybe he's still alive? ”
Anu suddenly stood up, broke free from Gu Zhuting's support, and hurriedly rushed to the corpses in front of him, examining them one by one.
Gu Zhuting shook her head again and again, grabbed her, and shouted, "Anu, what are you doing?" ”
Anu said anxiously: "Master Gu, help me quickly." Let's find it faster! ”
Gu Zhuting clasped her arm firmly. Said sharply: "Anu, wake up!" That's not the way to go. There are tens of thousands of corpses here, how can the two of us find them out? Besides, so many people have died here, and someone from the imperial court will soon come to clean up the aftermath, when we are here, how can we explain our identity to them? ”
Anu said in despair: "Then what do you say, how can we find him?" ”
Anu's hand tightly grasped Gu Zhuting's arm, and Gu Zhuting's arm bone was faintly painful.
Gu Zhuting was grabbed by her, and said softly: "Relying on the two of us, no matter whether the sect master is alive or dead, it is impossible for us to find him!" Anu, listen to me, the closest to here is Qianjinye City. When we go there, there is a good chance that the corpses of these soldiers will be disposed of by the soldiers and civilians of Yecheng, and we can find out as soon as possible if there is any news.
That's right! We can change our identity, as a wealthy merchant passing through this place, to do a good deed for the soldiers who died here, and hold a "Tubi" for them, so that the bodies of so many soldiers cannot be transported back, but can only be cremated, and then the ashes can be transported back to their hometown. ”
Anu's eyes cleared: "That's right, unless it's a general, it will be packed into a coffin and transported back to Jingshi, and the others can only be cremated on the spot, if we pay for this mission, of course, everyone's identity must be confirmed first, and the relics must be sorted out separately, so we can confirm the identity of each corpse." ”
Gu Zhuting said: "Yes, we need the cooperation of the army and the local government to do this kind of good deed, and we can learn more information from them." If there is no sect master among the dead, then the sect master is still alive, maybe we will find out the news of the sect master before we can do something perfect. ”
Anu burst into laughter and said impatiently: "Go!" Let's go to Qianjinye City right away! ”

In a simple tent with a tree trunk as a body and green branches and leaves as a cover, Li Qianzhong stretched his shirt and lay on a pile of soft grass with his bare back, and on his back ridge, there was a wolf's tooth arrow, because it had not been pulled out for a long time, the wound was bruised and swollen.
"Khan, bear with me!"
A big man who was kneeling on one knee next to him said to him in a heavy tone, Li Qianzhong nodded, Sun Wanrong handed over a piece of cork, and Li Qianzhong bit it.
The big man pulled out the knife, quickly cut a cross around the bow and arrow, and pulled it hard, Li Qianzhong snorted, and the wolf tooth arrow with a barb was pulled out of his back, and some black blood gushed out, and the big man turned the knife up and down in the fire next to him for a while, and saw that the blood gradually turned red, and suddenly put the knife on Li Qianzhong's wound.
Li Qianzhong's body was tense, although he was old, he was still strong, his muscles were strong, and his powerful arms suddenly bulged, and the knife "sneered" at Li Qianzhong's wound, and when the wound scabbed slightly, the big man grabbed a handful of herbs, and he didn't care about the bitterness, so he stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
He carefully applied the chewed herbs to Li Qianzhong's wound, and used a strip of cloth to help him bandage the wound before standing up. Luo Wucheng handed over a water bladder, the big man was full of green, bitter and unbearable, he didn't speak, took the water bladder, pulled off the plug and poured a big mouthful of water on his head, and quickly walked out of the tent.
In the tent, Sun Wanrong, Luo Wuquan, He Axiao and other Khitan leaders gathered around Li Qianzhong with concern, Li Qianzhong smiled and said, "Don't worry." Lao Tzu's life is hard. Can't die! Come, help me up! ”
Luo Wuquan and He Axiao stepped forward to set him up and sat on the haystack, and Li Quanzhong asked in a deep voice, "How about our casualties?" ”
……
The big man who healed Li Qianzhong walked out of the tent and poured a few mouthfuls of water, but the bitter taste in his mouth still lingered, and his tongue was so numb that he didn't feel it. He looked around. When he saw that there was a wild pear tree more than 20 zhang away from the slope, and the branches were heavily pressed with fruit, he strode down the slope.
Yang Fan sat on the ground leaning on the trunk of the thick pear tree, his hands were tied to the tree behind his back, and his wrists were tied with cow tendons, which was the most flexible. Even if you struggle until the tendon of the cow enters the meat and cuts the tendon of the wrist, you can't think of breaking it.
There are still a few people tied under a few trees nearby, all of them are generals in the army, it seems that the Khitans are not brave and unscrupulous, and they also know that if they catch more generals in hand, once the situation is not good. and the imperial court have the capital to bargain.
However, Yang Fan took a closer look. He didn't know any of the generals, judging from the uniforms. It's just some generals like Eagle Yanglang and Guo Yi Duwei, who are only one and a half grades taller than themselves, and there are no senior generals such as Yan Bandit Shi, the chief manager of the march, and Zong Huaichang, the deputy head of the march.
At this time, the big man who healed Li Quanzhong's wounds walked under the tree, picked two pears from the tree, wiped them on his clothes, and took a bite with a click. Those pears have just started to fill the grain, not astringent, not sour, but not sweet, not what kind of taste it is, but chewing two bites is very helpful to get rid of the bitterness in the mouth.
As soon as Yang Fan saw the big man walking to his side, he stared at him, he felt that this person was a little familiar, and after carefully identifying it, Yang Fan suddenly realized that this big man was the Khitan general who made the three strands of the Heavenly Fork last night, and Yang Fan still remembers his strength.
The big man took two bites of the pear, and found that he was looking at him, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "What, not convinced?" Do you still want to compare with me? ”
Yang Fan smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "Defeat is defeat, how dare you speak bravely?" ”
Dahan pursed his lips, shook the pear in his hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't drag the text with me, why are you so literate as a soldier, it is because of people like you in the Tang Army that it will become so useless!" I think I was in the army at the beginning, and the Tang Dynasty was mighty at that time...... Hey! ”
The big man shook his head, picked another pear, turned around and left.
Yang Fan's expression moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" You served as a soldier in the Great Zhou Army? ”
Dahan turned around lazily, glanced at him, and corrected: "It's not Da Zhou, it's Da Tang!" Lao Tzu has never been a soldier for that stinky woman! ”
Yang Fan said: "Yes, yes, Datang, not Da Zhou." You were a soldier in the Tang Army? Is it a righteous servant or a tribal soldier? ”
Yang Fan pondered that he was a Khitan, and he should not be a regular officer and soldier of the Tang Dynasty.
The army of the Tang Dynasty is very mixed, among which only the government army, the forbidden army, the border army, and the conscription army are regular armies, and there are too many others.
For example, when Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo, in addition to the forbidden army, the guard army, the government soldiers, and the border army, there were also regimental training troops in Pinglu and Lulong, the Tibetan soldiers of the Turkic, Qiang, Xianbei and other ethnic groups, the clan soldiers of the Khitan and Xi clans who were attached, the troops of the subject countries such as Silla and Baekje, and the temporarily recruited "righteous servants", hundreds of thousands of people.
Dahan said angrily: "Fei Mou was a soldier who ate military rations and received military salaries, although Fei Mou was a small man at that time, he was the credit of crawling out of the pile of dead people. The hateful border generals are brutal, not to mention the deduction of military salaries, and they oppress our people in every way, like robbers. Once, my team was trying to rape a girl of my clan, and she was a soldier, but she couldn't even protect her own people, what was the use of this soldier? Fei was furious, so he slaughtered the guy and fled back to his hometown! ”
The big man looked at Yang Fan up and down, and said disdainfully: "Seeing that you are so young, you actually became a captain, I'm afraid you didn't climb so fast because you didn't hug the thigh of the Wu traitor, right?" ”
Yang Fan said: "You are wrong, Yang was originally a soldier under the command of General Heizhi Changzhi, the general of the Heyuan Road March, but he has made a hundred military exploits to get to where he is today!" ”
P: On the second day of September, we sincerely ask for the support of the monthly pass recommendation ticket!! (To be continued......)
