Shanhaiguan is located in the key place of the throat of the Liao thistle, only fifteen miles away from the end of the Bohai Bay in the east, Wanzhong Mountain in the north, the momentum is majestic, it is the most important military town in the east of the Great Wall.

In today's situation of civil strife in Middle-earth and the prosperity of the Turks, Shanhaiguan has actually lost its military significance, although it is in the territory of Gao Kaidao, but Gao Kaidao itself is a vassal to the Turks, how can it rely on this danger to refuse foreigners outside the door?

The most influential in this regard is actually the Khitan people gathered in this area, of course, at present, the Khitans also have to pay tribute to the Turks, depending on the faces of the Turks and Jieli.

Shanhai county town is built according to the topography, into an irregular square, surrounded by a city wall, there are four gates, and then connected by a cross street.

The Han and Yi people in the city are mixed, there are far more foreigners than Han people, the people are strong, most of the people on the street are riding horses, carrying blades and bows, and most of the people in their mouths are Turkic and Khitan.

This is the last county town in northern Xinjiang, and there is an endless stream of business travelers entering and exiting the customs, which is more lively and prosperous than Yuyang City.

In this place where the emperor is far away, the foreign tribes are powerful and the Han people are weak, and only the most powerful forces can maintain the loose and unwritten rules here, and everything is done according to the rules of the rivers and lakes.

As the leader of the Beiba Gang, Du Xing is a local tycoon who can eat well inside and outside the Guan, and at the same time has Turkic and Khitan blood, so he naturally becomes the principal here.

A group of more than 200 people lined up in a long line on the street, attracting people's attention, and many passers-by stood in front of the street shops and pointed their fingers.

"Boss Yan!"

A man suddenly rushed out of a restaurant on the side of the road and shouted loudly.

"Xiaoling?"

Long Tao turned his head to look, and the tall and handsome Xu Ziling was waving his hand to him, with a look of surprise on his face.

A person walked out behind Xu Ziling, majestic as a mountain, with a well-defined handsome face like a marble carving, it was the long-lost Turkic master Ba Fenghan.

More than 200 people dispersed to the liquor stores and restaurants on the street, and immediately filled the seven shops in the vicinity.

Long Tao followed Xu Ziling back to the wine table.

"Ding!"

The three wine bowls touched each other, and the three of them raised their heads and drank them all, and the small restaurant was full of the joy of reunion after a long absence.

"Xiaoling, why did you appear here? Where's Kou Zhong's kid? Long Tao asked.

"That kid went to Li Shimin!"

Xu Ziling wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and said something that surprised Long Tao.

"After we handed over Xiao Lingzhong to the eldest lady, we waited in Leshou to follow Liu Heimin to fight Yu Culture, who knew that Dou Jiande was reluctant to send troops, and then Li Xiuning came, she talked with Kou Zhong all night, and the next day the kid went to Chang'an with her."

Long Tao laughed and said: "This kid is a lover!" ”

Xu Ziling sighed: "Li Xiuning's weight in Kou Zhong's heart is too heavy! I heard that after Li Shimin returned to Guanzhong, he had been seriously injured and had not recovered, Li Xiuning cried in front of Kou Zhong for a long time, with that kid's temperament, how could he not go back with her? ”

Long Tao thought to himself, with Kou Zhong's long-term anger, it must be very effective to heal Li Shimin's injuries, Li Yuan has been fighting against Xue Ju for a long time, and then he has to let Li Shimin fight, if Kou Zhong helps again, how can Xue Ju's father and son be their opponents.

In this way, it is estimated that Li Valve will soon be able to pacify Western Qin, completely solve his worries, and then he will go out of the customs and go straight to Luoyang.

With Wang Shichong's ability, how long can he resist the invincible combination of Kou Zhong and Li Shimin?

It seems that we can't afford to wait too long outside the plug!

Long Tao secretly made up his mind, took a sip of the wine bowl, and asked, "Why did Xiaoling come to Shanhaiguan?" ”

Xu Ziling smiled lightly: "I have nothing to do alone, I just want to see the scenery outside the Sai, and go to Gaoli to see how Aunt Yu is doing, so I will go to Shanhaiguan to get out of the Sai, I didn't expect to encounter the wind and cold here!" ”

"Xiaoling is indifferent by nature, and it is indeed comfortable to send love to the landscape, but you must not be lonely for the rest of your life." Long Tao smiled and said, "Haven't you ever met a woman who is excited?" ”

Xu Zilingjun's face turned red, a somewhat melancholy look shot out of his eyes, and he said lightly: "This kind of thing can't be forced, let it be all according to fate!" ”

When Long Tao saw his expression, he obviously thought of which woman was right in his heart just now, thinking that maybe the Yueshan mask given to him that day really worked, and finally let him meet Shi Qingxuan.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Beiba helped Du Xing ask to see, I wonder if I can let my little brother have a glass of wine?" ”

Long Tao said in his heart that this "overlord" was finally found, and he didn't plan to disturb Du Xing now, but more than 200 people entered the city too much, and Du Xing, as the manager of this place, could not not receive the news.

As the words fell, a man in his early forties, wearing a yellow samurai suit with a cloak and cowhide boots, walked in.

This person is worthy of the name of "Overlord", tall and burly, with a convincing physique, although not handsome, but full of masculinity, radiant, a pair of sharp eyes under the thick eyebrows shot a sharp gaze, after sweeping the faces of the three people, one by one hugged his fists and said: "Brother Ba, Brother Xu, Brother Yan, three good!" ”

Without introduction, he recognized the three of them clearly.

Of course, the three of Long Tao have different appearances and are easy to distinguish, but this also shows that Du Xing still has some understanding of the details of the three people.

The three of them stood up to return the salute, and Xu Ziling, as the owner of the wine table, stretched out his hand and respectfully asked, "Overlord, please take a seat!" ”

Duchen sat down opposite Bafenghan and suddenly asked in Turkic dialect: "I heard the news of you in Fuyu five days ago, how could you come to Shanhaiguan so quickly?" ”

His Turkic words were spoken very quickly, and Xu Ziling couldn't understand them at all, so although Long Tao could understand it, he also felt the strong discrimination against the Han people in his tone and expression.

Bafenghan replied in Turkic dialect: "I came here after a group of horse thieves. ”

Du Xing said: "I have the illusion that you are still in Fuyu, if I had known that you had arrived here, I would have rushed over to fulfill the friendship of the landlord!" "It's still a fast and urgent Turkic dialect.

The implication was that he was here for Ba Fenghan this time.

As a person who wants to get good and fast, Ba Fenghan is indeed worthy of Du Xing's respect.

In the past few years, he has traveled all over the Eastern and Western Turks, Huifu, Murowei, Xi, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Qiuzi, Tiele, and Xue Yantuo countries, and countless evil demon masters and ferocious horse thieves everywhere have died under his sword, which can really be said to have swept across the grassland and desert.

Although Jieli had sent master elite cavalry to chase and kill him many times, he took advantage of the characteristics of the desert grassland to counterattack, and ended up with a loss of soldiers and a general.

Outside the Seychelles is the world of the Turks, and an arrogant person like Duchenne will only respect a master like Bafenghan, who knows the desert steppe well.

Although the Divine Sword King is famous, it is always only a matter for the Han people in Middle-earth, and the people outside the Cypriot have only heard of his name, and have never seen his methods, so it is normal not to take him seriously.

However, Duchenne's performance is so obvious that it is somewhat pretentious and provocative.

Although Long Tao only regarded him as a clown who jumped off the beam and didn't have the same knowledge as him, he couldn't help but be slightly moved in his heart, and with Xu Ziling's indifference, he also frowned when he heard it.

Ba Feng said coldly: "Don't bother with the overlord, my good brother and I are just passing by, and we will leave in a while!" This time, it was in Chinese.

Du Xing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dry smile in Chinese: "I'm really sorry! When the younger brother saw his own Turkic people, he couldn't help but speak his hometown, Brother Xu, Brother Yan, forgive me! By the way, I don't know what happened to the two of them outside the Saiwai, maybe they can help one or two? ”

Xu Ziling said lightly: "I just want to go out for a trip, and there is nothing special." ”

Seeing that Long Tao was speechless, Du Xing smiled and asked, "What about the Divine Sword King?" ”

Long Tao said: "I'm looking for a person named Shen Mohuan, does Du Bawang recognize this person?" ”

Du Xing frowned and said: "This person is a famous sand thief, and his wife Mu Ling is even more ferocious. ”

Long Tao asked again: "I heard that the leader of the Northern Horse Gang Xu and the overlord are friends for eight worships, why didn't I see the leader of the Xu gang today?" ”

"Brother Xu is not in the city." Du Xing's sharp eyes stared at Long Tao and asked, "What is the Divine Sword King looking for my brother?" In the following, it can be passed on behalf of the pass. ”

Long Tao thought to himself, Xu Kaishan sent five types of demons to Luoyang, the purpose of which was to help the demon gate deal with himself, and now four of the five types of demons were killed and one was subdued.

"Oh, I just heard that the war horses of the Northern Horse Gang are very famous, and I want to ask the Xu Gang Master to buy war horses." Long Tao said with a smile.

Du Xingxing turned up and said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely help the Divine Sword King bring this business, I wish the three of them all the best on their trip, Du will not bother, and say goodbye!" Then he got up and left.

After he left, Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Boss, I think this person is somewhat aimed at you, did you really go to Shen Mohuan this time, why did you tell Du Xing?" ”

Long Tao nodded and said, "I'm really here for Shen Mohuan this time, hum!" Duchenne is something, if he really dares to deal with me secretly, I just have a reason to rectify him! ”

Ba Feng said coldly: "Du Xing has a very close relationship with the Khitans, the horse thief cave brother that Brother Yan killed before is the prince of a certain Khitan chieftain, Du Xing came to demonstrate a little today, maybe he will unite with the Khitan people to deal with you outside the pass, Brother Yan must be guarded." ”

Long Tao smiled: "Thank you, brother, I have my own measure." ”

When they had eaten and drunk, they left the city and headed north.

Three days later, we crossed the Yan Mountain, walked to the famous Yan Yuan, and arrived at the south bank of the Liao River in Saibei.

The three of them parted here, Xu Ziling and Bafenghan turned eastward to Goryeo, while Long Tao led people to continue north, heading for the territory of the Murowei people.
