An Sidao saw that Shang Zhongxin was going to chase the enemy alone, his heart moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Shang, don't chase after the poor, we have a heavy responsibility, and it is really difficult to help, please bear with me." Shang Zhongxin stopped, his eyes fell on Cai Yu, who was pale under the protection of the two sergeants, as if he had some understanding, he didn't have time to think about it, turned over the saddle and got on the horse, and hugged his fists at An Sidao and said: "Brother Xie is kind, it is not easy to catch the horse thief's deeds, I will leave a mark along the way, if the reinforcements of my hussars arrive, please inform them." As soon as he finished speaking, he rode out of the inn and went straight to the smoke and dust left by the horse thief. Only the shopkeeper was left in place and muttered that the Buddha blesses the good people.

Not long after, more than 200 hussars came to the inn under the leadership of Captain Amur, the hussars were wearing variegated kudzu shirts and short jackets, and even some were shirtless and covered with half-body armor, many of them had a violent temperament and a fierce face, and the idlers did not dare to look at it, if it were not for the banner of the Muzi battalion of the Anxi Hussars, it was almost more like a horse thief than a horse thief. After listening to An Sidao and the others indicating the direction, Mu Ziying didn't have time to thank him and chased after him.

The hussars left, and An Sidao smiled at Bagen: "People say that the hussars are the biggest horse thieves in the Mobei grassland, and it's really good." "Both of them are Wan'er. At this time, it was getting late, and An Sidao and the others stayed at the inn.

The summer in the northwest is scorching, but the evening is very cool, the slightest breeze carries the unique smell of dust in the Gobi grassland, under the grape vines of the inn, the gratitude of the shopkeeper Sun is that the sergeant of the Chengying Battalion drove away the horse thieves, and even presented the delicious food and drink in the store to entertain. An Sidao said with a smile: "The shopkeeper didn't like that our brothers had a few coins and wanted to do half a year's business. Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly said: "These are not rare foods, the generals just look at them casually." After speaking, he brought a white porcelain plate with freshly picked grapes that had been washed more than a dozen times to Cai Yu, and bowed: "Master, please use it." Cai Yu saw that he was respectful and liked it, so he casually took out two gold coins of one or two from his pocket and rewarded him, so happy that Sun Gouzi thanked him again and again, and said to the sergeants who were drinking: "All the military masters are from the east, can you know the news of the lord and the lord's mother?

All the sergeants laughed together, and many people praised him for his kindness, and An Sidao said with a smile: "Don't worry, the lord Ji people have their own natural appearance." The gods are sheltered, and maybe they are already on their way back to Hexi. The shopkeeper Sun was overjoyed when he heard this, and sighed: "That's good, these two don't go back for a day, and we grass people can't live in peace." A sergeant quipped: "The main princess and mother are not here, there are still many generals in Hexi, and there is still Mrs. Zhou in charge of Dunhuang, why are you in a hurry?" Sun Gouzi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't dare to reply, but only muttered in a low voice: "I don't know why, my heart is empty." In fact, all the sergeants felt this way, and when they heard the shopkeeper say it bluntly, they liked him even more because he was simple, and they all gave some rewards.

The sergeants of the Chengying Battalion are all good at seeing blood, and they have been tired after marching in the Gobi for a long time, but today they won a fierce battle, but they became excited, and they made trouble until late at night.

In the middle of the night, the sergeant on duty reported that someone was visiting, Sun Sidao took two sergeants out to receive him, only to see Shang Zhongxin and two hussar battalion sergeants with fresh faces standing at the door, each holding a string of noses on the chest of the healthy horse, Sun Sidao was relieved, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to your department for exterminating the gang of horse thieves and making new contributions." As soon as he let them go and invited them to enter the door to talk again, Shang Zhongxin waved his hand and said humbly: "It's just some silverfish thieves, what merit is there." After a pause, he arched his hand and said, "I am still faithful, and I haven't consulted the name of the commander of the Rong Army?"

Anxi's various armies have their own systems, although An Sidao has the waist card of the Jiedu Embassy, and the centurion tells him, but the people of the hussars don't have to pay attention to it. Shang Zhongxin's eyes flashed, turned around and called the two sergeants behind, and said with a smile: "Lord An, this is my comrade, Temur and Agoura, both of whom are old brothers in the Lanzhou army. Like me, they all served as the commander of the Ten Masters in the Muzi camp. He said that when Lanzhou joined the army, Temur and Agoura both showed a trace of unnatural looks on their faces, when the Song army besieged the city, the two of them were selected from Xiao Jiu from the slave camp to go to the city to shoot arrows to help defend, so they made meritorious deeds, and Wu Yingying was specially allowed to be promoted to sergeant and entered the hussar camp.

Temur said in a deep voice: "Lord An is from the Jiaorong army, and we also have a brother in life and death who is in the Jiaorong army, called Bagen, I don't know how he is doing recently?" In a flash of his mind, he suddenly heard a shout from upstairs, "Temur, Agoura, is that you?" Shang Zhongxin looked up and saw that Bagen was wearing armor and walked quickly downstairs, he was originally in charge of arranging secret guards, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed to see his old brother visiting.

The three of them were very happy to see each other, and even when they found good wine in the inn, drank and reminisced, and sang loudly at the throat. An Sidao and Shang Zhongxin didn't bother them, and the two chatted with them. An Sidao secretly said in his heart, this Ba Gen Pingsu is also extremely calm, a rare character in the Hu people who are invisible, and it is rare for old friends to visit, so that I can see that this son is also a person of temperament. He didn't know that Bagan was ordered to go undercover in the slave camp back then, and he felt great guilt about Temur and Agoura, and today he saw that both of them were ten commanders, and the heroes had to use their strengths, and he couldn't help but feel agitated, and he was losing his way, and sitting here tonight was not the centurion of the Chengying Battalion who Wu hero Zhang Zhongyao had trained for a long time, but the good man who refused to betray his clansmen and brothers even if he died.

This drunkenness was not until the third watch, Shang Zhongxin said that the Muzi camp had won a great victory, and the Temur and Agula who were originally on duty had the opportunity to come out to inquire about the news of their old friends, and the two had to return to the camp before dawn before they left. Before leaving, Shang Zhongxin lowered his voice and asked when others were not paying attention: "Mingren doesn't say secret words, you are Lord Zhang Zhongyao's subordinates, right?" He was suspicious when he saw the skills of the sergeant of the Chengying Battalion during the day, and according to the two barbarians, Bagen even claimed to have served in the Ya Battalion. Although An Sidao claimed to be from the Jiaorong Army, the people of the Sixth Army of Anxi knew that the people of the Chengying Battalion liked to pretend to be the name of the Jiaorong Army, so Shang Zhongxin only asked. An Sidao didn't know that he suddenly had this question, and he couldn't help but be stunned, Shang Zhongxin was relieved when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Needless to say, I understand, understand that this is an errand of the Jiedu Embassy." He turned around and said goodbye, and said in his heart, my grandmother really jumped over the heads of the two centurions of the Chengying Battalion, hehehe, and it was not in vain to accompany the two barbarians out to drink this night's wine.

After entering the boundary of Lingzhou, the business travelers on the road are much more prosperous, and it is rare to walk on the grassland for a long time without seeing people, but there is often a lonely farmhouse in the desert Gobi, the sergeant of the Chengying Battalion saw all the way, connected, just like the seeds of countless wild grasses in the wild land tenaciously rooted and growing, the harsh climate tortured them, and the ferocious horse thieves harassed them, but for a piece of land that could be passed on to their descendants, under the protection of the hussar soldiers, these Han people bid farewell to the walled city where they once lived, with few farm tools and property, looking for land that can be cultivated and grazing, and built a shack to live, first go to the hussars to report, and then build their own homes with one hand and one foot. Similar to the scattered Han herders were the sedentary nomads who were increasingly scattered by the hussars, who grazed their cattle and sheep on the meadows and hillsides suitable for grazing, and these herders settled down, occasionally learning to grow some vegetables from the Han people, and more often sorting and spinning wool by hand at home, and then handing it over to the hussars' wool spinning factories.
