Chapter VI
When I got to the bottom of the mountain, the moon was about to set, which was just right for me to discern the square
Toward. The little red horse was suffocated under the mountain rock for half a night, and then ran up with vigor and spirit
The glowing white of the East. The sun is about to rise, otherwise why would I be like this?
What about the heat?
I thought to myself in a daze, and the reins of the horse in my hand gradually loosened, and the horse tossed and turned
It's like a cradle, it's so comfortable, I haven't been able to sleep all night, and now it's just
I'm about to fall asleep.
I don't know how long I was confused, maybe for a while, maybe for a long time, and finally
The horse waded into a river, and I was splashed by the cold water splashed by the horses' hooves, and then suddenly
A stirring spirit woke up. There is no one in the wilderness everywhere, and Tiangan Mountain has long been left behind
After the huge mountain range looks from afar, it looks like a giant standing on top of the sky. The top of the giant's head
It is a white snow crown with ice and snow that does not melt all year round, and this river is also the snow on the Tiangan Mountain
The water is gathered and rushing, so the river is bitterly cold.
I went limp, remembering that I hadn't eaten all this time, no wonder I didn't have any strength at all. But the dry food was tied behind the saddle, and my mouth was thirsty and tasteless, and I ate little
None of the desires. I was thinking about whether to get off the horse and drink water, when I suddenly saw a black shadow shaking not far away
moving, it seems that there is a horse running straight forward, I am afraid that it is the cavalry of the Yue clan again, and I look at it,
But I could only see a vague shadow, and it was very fast, but fortunately, there was only one person
Ride.
It would be nice if it was the sentry of the king of the left valley, and I tried my best to pull out the bend behind my back
Knife, if I encounter an enemy, I will fight to the end.
That was my last thought, and then my eyes went dark, and I actually got off my horse
Finish.
Xiliang people have learned to ride and shoot since childhood, both men and women can ride horses from the ability to walk, and I am even more
grew up on horseback since childhood, and the dignified Nine Princesses actually planted on horseback
Now, if it is transmitted to Xiliang King City, I am afraid that I will laugh at everyone's big teeth.
When I woke up, I was still clutching the scimitar in my hand, and I blinked.
The sky was so blue that the white clouds seemed to be as low as you could reach. It turned out that I was lying
Under a gentle slope, the grassy slope obscures most of the scorching sun, and the crisp wind blows in autumn
When I brushed over, I heard the familiar neighing of the little red horse not far away, which made me feel a lot in my heart
Pine.
"Awake?"
The sound was familiar, and I got up dizzily and blinked, still
I didn't think it was credible.
It turned out to be Gu Xiaowu, the Central Plains tea seller, who was sitting lazily on the grassy slope, nibbling
A piece of air-dried beef.
I was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”
"Passing by occasionally," he said. ”
I don't believe it!
My stomach rumbled with hunger, and I remembered that the little red horse was still hunched with dry food.
So there was a whistle. The little red horse trotted all the way over, and I fixed my eyes on it, and the horse was bare
It's bald, and it's not even a saddle sheath anymore. I looked at it again, and that Gu Xiaowu was sitting
East Palace 190
On my saddle, and the beef he nibbled on was not the dry food I brought?
"Hey!" I was very upset and asked aloud, "Where's my dry food?" ”
His mouth was full of meat, and he vaguely raised the half-pulled beef in his hand to me: "Also."
There's one last piece..."
What is the last piece, obviously the last bite.
I watched him stuff the last bit of air-dried beef into his mouth, and I was furious
Called: "You've eaten it all?" What do I eat? ”
"I'm hungry." He picked up the water bladder and took a sip of water, and said lightly, "You."
I just had a fever, so I can't eat this kind of thing at this time. ”
What a fever, I jumped up: "How did you come here?" Also, you eat
I'm done with my dry food! Compensation to me! Compensation to me! ”
He smiled: "I have eaten everything, but I don't have to pay for it." ”
I was so angry that I looked everywhere for the saber that had been lost to me.
He looked at me like ants on a hot pan, and finally said slowly, "You want to."
Come back to the royal city with me, and I'll give you a cow." ”
I rolled my eyes at him, "Why should I go back to the royal city with you?" ”
"Your father has put up a notice of reward, saying that he will find you and bring you back to the royal city
and give him a hundred ingas of gold. He looked at me very seriously, "A hundred ingots of gold."
Yes! How many cows do you have to buy! ”
I'm really angry, not angry at anything else, but angry at the hundred ingots of yellow
Kim: "Father really posted such a notice?" ”
"Is that fake?" He said, "Absolutely true! ”
"Am I worth a hundred ingots of gold?" I was so disappointed, "I thought it was worth at least yellow."
Kim Wan Ling! In addition, it should be given to the feudal marquis, and there should be countless cattle and sheep slaves..."
My father also said that I was his favorite little princess, and he only gave 100 ingots of gold
Reward. Stingy! It's stingy!
Gu Xiaowu laughed "poof", and he didn't know what he was laughing at. I hate him
laughed, especially as he looked at me with a groan, as if he were looking at a hundred ingots of gold. I said loudly, "Don't dream, I won't go back with you!" ”
Gu Xiaowu said, "So where do you want to go?" Ever since you're gone, Yue
The king's envoy was angry, saying that your father had deliberately let you go, and the Yueshi had sent you out
The team is looking for you, if you are walking around on the grassland and meet the people of the Yue Clan, then you can do it
Oops. ”
I also think it's pretty bad, because I've already met the Yue's people. Come to think of it
I couldn't help but let out an "oops", I almost forgot about He's lost, I still have to hurry
Go to Avon and report it!
Gu Xiaowu probably saw that my face had changed, so he asked me, "What's wrong?" ”
I didn't want to tell him, but in the vast grassland, now he is only by my side,
And the master's swordsmanship is so clever, and his ability is so great, maybe this Gu Xiaowu's swordsmanship is also
Not bad.
Sure enough, Gu Xiaowu heard that I was supposed to tell him about the encounter with the Yue Clan's pursuers
Later, he said: "According to you, the Turks are at least three hundred away from the king's tent
Village? ”
I nodded.
"The king of Zuogu Lili is also a hundred miles away from here?"
I nodded again.
"But the Turks are nomadic, how can you find it?"
"Don't think about it, I'm going to save Heshi anyway."
Gu Xiaowu frowned slightly, and said: "Far water can't save the near fire, and Anxi is close to the palace."
It's close at hand, why don't you borrow troops from them and fight back against the Yue Clan? ”
I was dumbfounded, to be honest, although the Central Plains is strong, Anxi is even more protective
It is to guard the Western Regions, which is respected by all countries, but even if there is constant war between countries, it is also from
There was no one to come and use the forces of the Central Plains. Because in the eyes of us people in the Western Regions, it is me who fights
The affairs of the people of the Western Regions themselves, although the Central Plains is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, there are male soldiers stationed here
But the disputes between the countries of the Western Regions will not involve them. It's like
If your brother fights, no matter what, she won't go to outsiders to help.
East Palace 192
I said, "Although the Anxi Protectorate is near, you can't tell him about this kind of thing."
Guys. ”
Gu Xiaowu raised his eyebrows: "Why?" ”
I can't tell the truth, anyway, all countries keep such taboos, I said:
"Anyway, if we fight, it's none of the Central Plains Emperor's business."
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Gu Xiaowu said
said, "As long as it is a matter of the world, it is related to the emperor of the Central Plains, not to mention the Central Plains."
The Western Capital Protectorate is to maintain the stability of the Western Regions. Yue's rudeness is just a lesson
They. ”
He spoke in a very literate manner, and I didn't understand it very well. He brought both horses over and said
Said: "From here to the south, it is only half a day's journey to the Anxi Protectorate, and I will accompany you to borrow it."
Soldier. ”
I hesitated: "This... isn't very good?" ”
"You don't want to save Hewan?"
"Of course!"
He helped me onto my horse and said, "What's the grind then!" ”
It was only after riding the horse that I remembered one thing: "What the hell are you?"
Looking for mine? ”
At noon, the sun was blazing, and his face was illuminated by the sun, more like a beautiful jade from Khotan
White. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Try your luck! ”
Anxi Duhufu is really only half a day's journey, we rode south, and it was already dusk
I saw the majestic city. The emperor of the Central Plains set up the Anxi Protectorate here more than 100 years ago.
Garrison reclamation and guard the danger. It is also the key point of the trade route, and the caravans from the south to the north are all there
It is going to live from now on, so it is not as prosperous as Xiliang Wangcheng.
I'm also worried that Gu Xiaowu and I are alone, and Anxi Duhufu loves to ignore it, who
After knowing that Gu Xiaowu took me into the city, he went straight to the front of the capital guard and knocked on the giant in front of the door
Drum.
Later, I learned that the drum was exquisite, although the name was Taiping Drum, in fact, there was another name called Wake Up Drum, and a blow meant a battle. We were rushed out of the guards no
He was brought into the house by the branch and sat in the hall, and he had a big beard.
Wearing armor, he is really a majestic general, and he is the most like a collar among the Central Plains people I have seen
A general who fights a war.
He asked us in a calm voice, I don't know much about Zhongyuan, so I stammered and watched
Gu Xiaowu. Gu Xiaowu motioned to me and said, I'm out of line now. Thankfully, it's all
He also spoke Turkic, and he saw that I didn't understand the Central Plains, so he asked in Turkic: "Tang."
Why do the subordinates beat the drums? "Because A-Niang is Turkic, I am also quite fluent in Turkic Chinese.
I then repeated the words of the Yue's cavalry into Turkic territory, and then begged him to send troops
Go and save Hesui.
Lord Metropolitan Protector was a little hesitant, because since the Central Plains set up the Anxi Imperial Protectorate, except for Ping
In fact, rebellion rarely interfered in the affairs of the countries in the Western Regions. Although the Yueshi broke into the territory of the Turks
It's a big mistake, but after all, the Turks are strong and the Yue clan is weak, and it's weird to bully the strong with the weak
It's really not a common sense, that's why I think he's so hesitant.
Sure enough, he said: "The Turkic Iron Cavalry is famous outside the pass, why do you Turks themselves."
Instead of sending troops, you turn to me for help? ”
I told him that the king's tent was wandering, and that the king of the left valley was found though he was nearby
They will definitely be delayed for a long time. So we went to the Anzai Protectorate to ask for help, Xi
I hope to be able to rescue Heshi as soon as possible.
I thought that they were only a few dozen horsemen, and they had to resist so many Yueshi cavalry, no
Ban felt worried. Lord Du Hu was still hesitant, and then Gu Xiaowu suddenly said
In the original sentence.
When the Lord Protector heard this, he seemed to be taken aback, and the whole person was
Stood up from behind the lacquer case. Gu Xiaowu stepped forward and bowed to his voice
It's very low, I can't hear it clearly, not to mention that I don't know much about the Central Plains, but I saw him say it
After a few words, Lord Tsugo kept nodding his head.
In a short time, Lord Du Hu ordered two thousand cavalry and ordered a thousand commanders
led, followed us overnight to save people.
I was overjoyed, and when I came out of the Anxi Protectorate, I asked Gu Xiaowu: "How are you."
Tell that the adult to send troops to save people? ”
Gu Xiaowu smiled slyly and said, "I can't tell you that!" ”
I pouted angrily.
The army of the Central Plains was highly disciplined, and although it was a night rush, the queue was neat, except
The occasional clanging of horses' hooves and armor, and the sound of torches burning "hula",
I didn't hear anything else. I noticed that the torch used in the Central Plains Army was wrapped in wood
flocculent, soaked in fire oil. Fire oil is a special product under the Tiangan Mountain, its color is dark, and it is very easy
Burning, the shepherds occasionally use it to make a fire and boil water, but the people in the royal city think it has a lot of smoke and smell.
It is rarely used. Unexpectedly, the army of the Central Plains used it as a torch. I think the Central Plains people are very
Smart, they can always think of ways we can't think of.
We traveled all night, and at dawn, we finally caught up with the cavalry of the Yue Clan. Then
They had already retreated into the territory of the Yue Clan.
Yue's cavalry was moving extremely fast, and by the time we caught up with them, the White Banner had already arrived
There was no trace, and Heshi and dozens of Turkic warriors also disappeared cleanly, even with men and horses. My heart
In a panic, lest they have been surrounded and killed by the Yue's cavalry, and Gu Xiaowu is fighting with that
The commander consulted in the Central Plains dialect, and then heard the cavalry of the Central Plains give a loud order and dispersed into formation
Momentum.
I heard my father say that the people of the Central Plains pay attention to formations when fighting, and winning more with less is very powerful.
Especially now that the strength of the Central Plains is more than twice that of the Yue's cavalry, it is faintly encircled
momentum. The general of the Yue clan turned around and scolded loudly.
I don't understand what he's talking about, Gu Xiaowu sells tea in the Western Regions, but he understands
Yue's words. He said to me, "This general is questioning us why we are breaking in with our troops
The borders of the Yue Clan. ”
I said, "He also broke into the Turkic border yesterday and insisted that I was a slave escaped from the Yue clan
Li, now it's still justified. ”
Gu Xiaowu said something to the commander next to him, and the commander ordered someone to go up
Answer. Gu Xiaowu said to me with a smile: "I told them that we were escorting the princess of Xiliang back to China, passing through here. Tell him not to panic, we will never invade the Yue Clan
terrestrial. ”
I think when it comes to shamelessness, if Gu Xiaowu thinks he is the second in the world, it is estimated that no one will dare
Recognize the first. He has the ability to tell lies vigorously, is it true that everyone in the Central Plains is like this
Will it deceive? The master is like this, and Gu Xiaowu is also like this.
The two sides were still shouting back and forth, but the commander of the thousand was carrying a thousand light horses,
Taking advantage of the thin cool mist of the morning light, he quietly outflanked him from behind, and waited for the cavalry of the Yue clan to come back to his senses
Come, the strikers here have already begun to charge.
There was no suspense in this battle, and the Yue's cavalry was defeated, and almost none of them could escape
Go, most of them died under the sharp knives and arrows of the Central Plains, and there are still a small half of them who can't resist,
He threw away his arrows and surrendered. Although Gu Xiaowu is a tea seller, he is really calm, this
In a fierce battle, with countless casualties and blood splashes, Gu Xiaowu didn't even raise his eyebrows
Next, it seems that the fight just now is just a game. The commander of the Central Plains is used to
Conquest, naturally, things like surrender will be done properly. Two thousand cavalry escorted the Yueshi
The remnants of the hundreds of defeated soldiers slowly retreated eastward.
I took advantage of the chaos to rush into the Yue Clan's army to look for Heshi, but I couldn't find it. Yue's
The general who led the army was captured, and he was tied up tightly and pushed before the commander, the commander
But he was very respectful and handed this person over to Gu Xiaowu. I asked Gu Xiaowu to interrogate that Yue's general
Jun, that Yueshi general was very stubborn and refused to say a word. Gu Xiaowu said lightly
Said: "Since you don't say it, what's the use of keeping it?" ”
When the commander heard him say this, he immediately ordered him to be beheaded. The military order is like a mountain, right away
He cut off the head of the general of the Nayue clan, pulled his hair and sent the head to us, cavity
The blood in the seeds, dripping and dripping, fell on the green grass, like flowers
Li's saffron.
I couldn't help it, plus I barely ate anything all day, I was one
I was dizzy, and the people next to me looked at me with a wrong face, and kindly handed me a water bladder, but I couldn't drink it
Go to the water. I only heard that Gu Xiaowu ordered someone to bring up a Yue's person, and ordered him to see the Yue's family
The head of the general, and then ask about the whereabouts of Heshi. Although the Yueshi people were brave and good at fighting, they were already depressed after they were captured, and when they saw the general killed, they were so frightened that they all said
Finish.
