Two months later, Chang'an.

The light of the Buddha's relics scattered from the Daming Palace, and the entire Chang'an City was shrouded in that mysterious radiation.

Yang Yang, Captain Li, Lai Qi and Wen Zhu walked out of Daming Palace together.

"Congratulations, it's time to go home and see your mother!" Captain Li to Laiqi.

"yes!" Lai Qi joked, "I didn't expect that I could go back without killing you!" ”

"Congratulations to Lao Li too!" Qiao Guoqiang smiled, "From the Zhiguo Captain on the seventh grade to the Guide Lang General on the fifth grade, I was promoted three levels in a row!" Now I have to call you General Lee. "He is equivalent to being promoted from battalion commander to brigade commander, and according to their merits this time, this is not an exaggeration.

"Aren't you the same?!" Wen Zhu looked at Qiao Guoqiang, "Captain Renyong has been promoted to Captain Zhaowu, and he has been promoted to six levels in a row!" ”

"It's different!" Qiao Guoqiang shook his head and said, "I relied on the credit of hacking down Xiang Ma Zi'an and shooting that Turkic general." There are two things here, and any one of them can be upgraded to three levels. ”

"Thank you!" Captain Li: "If you hadn't given me the enemy's banner, I wouldn't have been able to ask the emperor to absolve my brothers of mutiny." ”

After Qiao Guoqiang shot the Turkic general, he threw a few more grenades. In the sound of the explosion, Captain Li, who had recovered his strength, smashed several jars of fire oil into the Turkic Rao team, and then took advantage of the situation to counterattack.

The Turkic crowd was leaderless and was caught off guard and defeated.

Qiao Guoqiang cut off the head of the Turkic general and picked up the Khan's Eagle Banner. This is the credit of capturing the flag on the battlefield!

In addition, he stabbed Xiang Ma Zi'an to death with a horse lance before, and also killed his two right-hand men, all these credits are his.

After returning to Chang'an, he gave the credit for capturing the flag to Lieutenant Li, hoping to make the emperor look up to him.

Sure enough, the emperor pardoned Captain Li for their guilt for escorting the caravan back to Chang'an. Then he captured the flag, reinstated his military status and promoted three levels in a row.

And Qiao Guoqiang, because he killed An Da Rao's two subordinates, and killed An Daren with Captain Li and Lai Qi, and also shot General Turkic Rao, he was directly promoted to six levels, from Renyong Captain on the ninth grade to Captain Zhaowu on the sixth grade.

It is equivalent to being promoted directly from platoon deputy to regiment commander!

"Although the emperor has forgiven your sins, the sins you have created are still there!" Qiao Guoqiang looked at Captain Li and asked, "Do you know what to do?" ”

"I know!" Captain Li had already made up his mind to go to the homes of the officers he had killed, kowtow, plead guilty, and then use the money exchanged for the trophies of the horses he had captured this time to give to the families of the robes they had killed.

The more than 20 war horses they brought back can be sold for a lot of money in Chang'an.

····

Another half a month passed, and in the pavilion by the Wei River, Qiao Guoqiang and Captain Li, Lai Qi and Wenzhu had a party together.

They gathered this time to see off Laiqi and send themselves to school

Captain Li wanted to take the brothers back to the desert, Wenzhu went with him, and Laiqi wanted to return to China.

Wenzhu held a pipa and sang a song from the Tang Dynasty, and the three men drank to a roasted whole sheep and Jian Nanchun brought by Qiao Guoqiang.

"Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell." Lai Qi said to Captain Li and Yang Yang: "Let's say goodbye!" ”

"Take care!" Captain Lee clenched his fist at Lacey

"Take care of yourself!"

In the second evening, Tongguan Ancient Road···

Lai Xi rode on his horse and ran towards Luoyang with three companions who were also Tang envoys. They were going to board the ship in Dengzhou and then return to Japan, taking with them a large number of knowledge and purchased books from Datang. These are priceless treasures for Japan, which is still in the era of recklessness

"Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!" In the midst of a scream, three arrows shot at him like lightning.

"Ah~" The three Tang envoys fell down holding their chests in the middle of the arrows.

"Huh~" Another arrow flew and shot at Laiqi's war horse.

"Brush!" Lai Qi split the arrow with a knife, but before he could react, the war horse was hit by another arrow in his eye and fell to the ground in pain.

Looking at the plastic tail feathers on the crossbow arrow, Lai Qi took the knife and shouted to the front, "Qiao Yang, come out!! ”

"Kill, !!" A shout of killing came from the front...

Lai Qi pulled a horse next to him, saddled with a knife, and looked at the former robe that was dressed in colorful clothes that rushed in front of him.

Although he hadn't seen that dress, from the other party's voice and the sound of horses' hooves, he recognized the identity of the other party in an instant - Qiao Yang, a comrade-in-arms who broke out of the encirclement of Xiangmazi and Turkic Rao and came out of the Great Gobi.

The guy who saw him off yesterday!

"Kill!" On the war horse, Qiao Guoqiang wore a Type 07 digital camouflage, a Type 80 steel helmet, and rushed towards Lai Xi with a Type 65 cavalry knife in his hand.

"Baga" Lacey grabbed a war horse next to him and rode up.

"Whoosh!" The old immortal raised his hand and fired a crossbow arrow at Lacey's warhorse.

The war horse was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, Lacey rolled on the ground, got up and ran a few steps, and then borrowed his strength on the left wall, and rose into the air and slashed at Qiao Guoqiang!

"Dang!" Qiao Guoqiang opened it with a knife, but he didn't expect Laiqi's move to be false.

The move he made just now was to lure away Qiao Guoqiang's knife, and then grabbed Qiao Guoqiang's arm and pulled him off the horse.

"Wow!" The old immortal pulled up the horse's hooves, so that the hooves of the war horse avoided the two people who were scuffling on the ground.

Just rolled on the ground, the knives in the hands of the two people were lost, and now Qiao Guoqiang and Lai Qi are fighting with their fists.

Laiqi has been in the Western Regions for many years, and his kung fu in foot combat is all on the knife, and his fist and foot kung fu are already a little rusty. And what about Qiao Guoqiang? It's all in one body!

"Ahh Qiao Guoqiang threw Lai Qi out with the wrestling skills he practiced with his Tibetan classmates in college, "Bang! With a bang, it hit the wall of the ancient road directly!

Then, two people shot at the same time!

Lai Qi stabbed Qiao Guoqiang in the stomach with a short knife in his right hand, and grabbed the other one behind his waist with his left hand.

A shield suddenly appeared in front of Qiao Guoqiang, blocking Lacey's dagger, and then the knife in his right hand "Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" It's three knives against Lacey!

The so-called knife stabbed in the stomach is not easy to pull out, and it doesn't seem to be easy for him to use. Because it's a - five or six three-sided military thorns!

It was given to him by a veteran he knew during the disaster relief in the world of "Sadness".

Blood flowed down against the triangular blade, washed away by the rain.

"For..." "··· For·· What the? Laiqi leaned against the wall and asked with the last of his strength.

Qiao Guoqiang held the Type 56 military spur in his hand and looked at Lai Qi, "I can't let you return to Japan with the martial arts and art of war you learned from Datang!" ”

"At that time, Princess Wencheng and her relatives took away a large number of craftsmen and books, which greatly increased the strength of Tubo. As a result, the Hexi Corridor is now being harassed by the Tibetans every year. If you return to Japan with what you have learned from Datang, who knows if those towns and villages in the eastern and southern parts of the Tang Dynasty will face Japanese sailors. ”

Lai Qi couldn't believe it, he didn't believe that Qiao Guoqiang could think so far. He looked at the old immortal next to him...

"Back then, four brothers in our family joined the army!" The old immortal looked at Laiqi with some guilt, "There are three brothers who died at the hands of the Tubo people..."

The old face couldn't see any expression, and he continued: "Princess Wencheng and relatives, King Ren Cheng escorted with thousands of teams, and my father was one of the escorts. ”

"I don't want to, the people in Jiangnan and Shandong will also bear such a thing as my family..." Old and immortal.

"I'm sorry, my lord!"

"Poof!" The old immortal took a short spear and stabbed Lacey in the stomach

"It turns out that ... Such as... Blood had been shed on the ground in Laiqi.

Qiao Guoqiang picked up his saber, walked up to Lai Qi, and bowed.

"Lacey-san!"

"Sayonara!"
