This time to the Xiongnu, Liu Ye and the others have mixed feelings, this land has left them with too many unusual memories, but whether it is happy or sad, from now on, everyone has to work harder to live.

Yao Hulu has always liked to pretend to be mysterious, he only cares about taking everyone all the way, and does not tell them where Chang Hui is being held. Liu Ye believed that he would not joke about Chang Hui's whereabouts, so he was not in a hurry to ask clearly, and if he went on, there would always be a result.

On the other hand, Qingling didn't believe in her grandfather as much as Liu Ye, and she couldn't hold back her anger after two days, she asked many times along the way, but she didn't ask the specific location, she began to get impatient, wondering if her grandfather was deliberately teasing them.

Taking advantage of the fact that Shizhong and Liu Ye were discussing something, Qing Ling jumped out of the carriage, sneaked behind the medicine gourd, and patted him on the shoulder: "Tell me the truth, do you know where General Chang is being held." ”

The medicine gourd trembled, turned around and glared at Qing Ling: "Stinky girl, do you want to scare me to death?" ”

Qing Ling glanced at him: "What are you doing to see the light, I just slapped you, and I can scare you to death!" ”

The medicine gourd pointed to the small black snake that was sliding quickly on the ground, and couldn't help but complain: "It's all your fault, this is a rare poisonous snake, and it is the most suitable to catch it back to refine the medicine." If you hadn't alarmed it, I'd have caught it by now. Oops, you stinky girl, that's a nasty thing. ”

"Come on, you, now let's not care if the snake is poisonous or not, you have so many poisons, it's not bad for this snake to refine medicine." Qing Ling crossed his hands in front of his chest, looking disapproving, "You haven't answered my question yet, do you really know the whereabouts of General Chang, or are you deliberately fooling us?" ”

Yao Hulu shook his head and said angrily: "You, it's really getting more and more unreasonable, I'm your grandfather, do you talk to your grandfather like this?" ”

"Okay, grandfather, please don't change the subject, my question is very serious, you need to be honest." Qing Ling looked back at the carriage and said in a low voice, "Do you know how sad the princess is about General Chang's capture? This kind of thing is not a joke, if you dare to deceive the princess with this, Master Shi will definitely not spare you, even if he is your grandson-in-law, he will not be merciful. ”

"Hey, why do you say I'm lying, aren't I taking you over, before I met General Chang, your random speculation is unreliable." Yao Hulu said and couldn't help but be annoyed, "Oh, you mean, I don't know where that stupid general is being held, in order to grandstand, deliberately say I know, you, you, you mean this, right?" ”

"Oh, my grandfather, don't be angry, I just want to remind you, if you can't find General Chang, you don't need to be reluctant, no one will blame you. But if you take us in circles and don't see him until the end, how will you compensate for all the time wasted? Qing Ling still didn't believe him, "You must know that the princess and the master are both busy people, their time is precious, you can't come up with such an idea just because you are bored." ”

"Ahh Yao Hulu pointed to his nose and asked, "Do you think I'm happy to take care of your business, it's not that I just came back from so far away to tell you." I have so many important things to do, so I won't be bored enough to make up excuses. ”

"Something important? The most important thing for you is to mash and redo the bottles and cans that you haven't used for a long time. Qing Ling knew a lot about the medicine gourd, and seeing that his old face was red, he was embarrassed to count it any further, "Okay, I won't say it, I believe that what you said is true, but it's better for us to hurry up, so as not to find a place and General Chang was transferred away." ”

"It is said that the woman is not in the middle, and when she gets married, she turns her elbow outward, and she only cares about her mother-in-law's family, and she doesn't take my grandfather in her eyes at all. You said that after you got married, you were busy with this and that, and you knew that you were going around with that kid in the division, and you couldn't think of going home to see it, your father was talking about you every day, and it was better to raise you as a girl than to raise a pig......" The medicine gourd kept shaking his head and sighing.

Qing Ling was about to reply, when he suddenly saw Shizhong come out of the carriage and hurriedly ran towards him. Yao Hulu saw her smiling face as soon as she saw Shizhong, and couldn't help but sigh a few times.

"Ling'er, you get in the car and accompany the princess, and we continue to hurry." Shizhong helped Qingling to get into the car and brought the horses to administer the gourd, "Old gourd, if you are not tired, let's continue to go." ”

"Well, I'm not tired." The medicine gourd turned over and got on the horse, looked at the fork in the road in front of him, pulled the reins and walked to the right.

Shizhong got on his horse and chased after the medicine gourd, and asked tentatively: "I don't know how long it will take, but the dozen or so elite soldiers I brought should be enough." ”

"Enough, enough, I think you're enough for one person." The medicine gourd was still choked by the Qing Lingqi enough, and even the teacher didn't bother to take care of it.

"As far as I know, after the Xiongnu commander was executed, his subordinates were recalled to the barracks by Shan Yu, so I wonder if the place where General Chang was imprisoned was also under Shan Yu's nose. If this is not the case, why did the king send people to search for it many times but could not find it. ”

"What do you want to say? You're also suspecting that I'm deliberately fooling you, right? The medicine gourd picked his eyelids and said unhappily, "I didn't force you to go with me, if you don't believe it, it's nothing to go back now, you and the princess are busy people, don't blame me for delaying your precious time when the time comes." I just don't want to tell you now, where that stupid general is, believe it or not. ”

"Old gourd, you misunderstood, it's not that I don't believe you, the princess has never said such a thing, and neither do I." Shizhong hurriedly said, "Actually, I'm thinking, in addition to General Chang's matter, there may be other things on this trip." ”

The medicine gourd retracted his gaze, lowered his head and walked forward, Shizhong saw it in his eyes, and he also counted it in his heart, and said unhurriedly: "Before, you and the poisonous scorpion traveled around the Western Regions, in addition to trying to compete, there should be other purposes. The poisonous scorpion is infatuated with the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, it is impossible for him to leave her for too long, and you are also worried about Tu Qitang's injury, you will not be willing if you don't see him recover with your own eyes. ”

"But you came back this time without mentioning Tu Qitang, and I think there are two possibilities, either you have seen him, or you have given up looking for him. However, from what I know of you, you have no idea what giving up is, and you will do what you are sure to do, no matter how difficult it may be. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Zhong paused, the medicine gourd was silent for a moment, and sighed helplessly: "So, I hate smart people the most, why did Qing Ling marry you for so long, and he didn't learn one-tenth of your intelligence!" Thanks to the fact that she is still my granddaughter, and after more than ten years by my side, she doesn't know me as well as you! ”

The medicine gourd raised his eyes and looked at Shizhong: "You are a person who really thinks about the princess, Qingling's girl will never be able to compare to you, he only has you in his heart, and you ...... in his heart."

The medicine gourd didn't go on, and Shizhong didn't explain, now that Qingling is his wife, he will love her and protect her, but Liu Ye's weight in his heart is unmatched.

"Yes, I brought you here this time, not only to rescue Chang Hui, but also to take the princess to see Tu Qitang." Yao Hulu said what was in his heart, "I don't want to see the princess and Tu Qitang both hurt by love, I'm not so ruthless, no matter if they can be together in the future, it's always good to meet and make it clear." The princess is busy in Wusun, but she is afraid that she still can't let go of him in her heart, Master Shi, what do you say? ”

"Yes, the princess has never let go of him, but because of the busy affairs of Wusun and the king's injury, even if she wants to see him immediately, she can't leave her duties behind." Shizhong empathized with Liu Ye's pain, "Old gourd, thank you so much, if it weren't for you taking advantage of General Chang's matter, the princess wouldn't know when she would be able to see him." ”

"But if I say that I want to take the princess to see Tu Qitang as soon as I come up, she may not agree."

"Well, she'll blame herself, and she'll be afraid that she won't want to go back when she sees him." Shizhong agreed with the words of the medicine gourd, "I don't want the princess to escape like this, what should be faced must be faced after all." ”

"So, you think I'm doing it better?" The medicine gourd found a bosom friend, and suddenly came to his senses, "I'm still worried about it along the way, for fear that I will make the princess unhappy by doing this, and you will not understand me, so I hesitate in my heart, and I always can't make up my mind." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, you are also thinking about the princess, and what will happen to them in the future can only be decided by themselves." Shi Zhong smiled bitterly, "As long as the princess can be happy, what if she is selfish!" ”

"Then, I'll leave this matter to you, you go and talk to the princess, if she doesn't refuse, let's go find Tu Qitang first." The medicine gourd seeks the opinion of the teacher.

"No, give her time to think about it, she will hesitate, I hope the princess can know her true heart, not for the external entanglement of wronging herself." Shi Zhong and the medicine gourd reached a consensus, "Let's go, let's go to save Chang Hui first, and come back to find Tu Qitang, is it too late?" ”

"It's time, it's time, the Bright Moon Saintess and Tu Qitang are both watched by poisonous scorpions, this old man doesn't dare to lie to me anymore. Let's go, let's rescue General Chang first. ”

Shizhong's prediction was not wrong, Chang Hui was indeed imprisoned under the nose of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and Shan Yu put pressure on the Han to withdraw the Han army stationed in the Western Regions with his life. He knew that Chang Hui might not be such an important threat to Dahan, but it was indispensable to Liu Ye. Therefore, as long as the Xiongnu firmly grasped Chang Hui's life, Wusun did not dare to have any attempts against the Xiongnu, let alone take advantage of the victory to attack and force the Xiongnu into a desperate situation.

Liu Ye's carriage stopped at a distance from the military camp, hidden among the ordinary people, Qing Ling and some elite soldiers stayed behind to protect her, and the medicine gourd and the division went straight to the military camp.

"Princess, you can rest assured, grandfather and master Shi will definitely be able to rescue General Chang this time, but I thought it would be very difficult, but I didn't expect that the dozen or so elite soldiers accompanying me were not used, and they were all used to protect us." Qing Ling said embarrassedly, "My grandfather just likes to bluff, in fact, the Xiongnu were defeated by Wusun, and their military camp didn't even have a serious commander, what else is there to be afraid of, as long as I find a place where General Chang is imprisoned, my grandfather or a poisonous scorpion, any one can save him......"

Qing Ling suddenly thought of something, and said: "Yes, any one of them can rescue General Chang, why did my grandfather come to Wusun to ask us for help after such a big bend!" All of us came along, and he only picked two or three elite soldiers to leave, and most of them were useless. And you, princess, don't need to come all the way to this trip, even I am redundant. What does my grandfather want to do this, he is not willing to make some contributions, so he has to pull us to witness to him. ”

"The old gourd came to us, naturally it is useful." Liu Ye's heart began to be uneasy, "Maybe we can't help to save General Chang, but other things must be let us do." ”

"Something else? What else must we do? Qing Ling paced back and forth in the small inn, the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to think so much now, God bless, bless my grandfather, Master Shi and General Chang to return safely, don't make any mistakes, don't ......"

Liu Ye didn't say much, at this time she was more worried about whether Chang Hui could be rescued, Feng Yan, who was in the Wusun Grassland, was probably praying for everything to go well every minute after they left. Their husband and wife have been separated for several months, and Feng Yanren has lost a lot of weight, if it weren't for their children, she is afraid that she will not be able to support it a long time ago.

When night fell, the medicine gourd and the division successfully infiltrated Shan Yu's military camp, although the Xiongnu suffered a heavy defeat, but from the momentum of the entire military camp, you can also see the glory of the past.

Neither the division nor those Wusun elite soldiers had ever seen Shan Yu's barracks, which was once a terrifying trap with no return, and no matter how strong his martial arts were, he did not dare to trespass easily. But if you take advantage of the beast's injury and respite, a sneak attack may still have a chance of winning, which is why the old gourd refuses to bring more people.

Lao Hulu took out the map drawn by the poisonous scorpion from his arms, compared it and found the dungeon where Chang Hui was held, pointed to the direction on the parchment scroll, and said to himself: "Old scorpion, if you dare to lie to me, you will die." ”

The old gourd showed the map to everyone, and the division and several elite soldiers nodded, indicating that they had already determined the location of the dungeon. The old gourd put away the map and said cautiously: "Fortunately, I just rescued one person, and my old bones can barely come in handy." ”

The patrolling sentinels changed their posts every two hours, and while they were handing over, the division gave an order, and everyone rushed to the dungeon. There were a few guards guarding outside the cell, and the medicine gourd sprinkled a handful of ecstasy incense, and fell to the ground one after another, and the elite soldiers who didn't have time to make a move were quite surprised, no one expected this inconspicuous little old man to be so powerful.

Entering the cell, the division lit the kerosene lamp on the wall, heard unusual movements, and the prisoners in custody poked their heads out to see what was going on.

"Daxia, save me, I'm not a Huns, I'm just a Dawan who came to the Huns to do business......" The masked prisoner stretched out his hand from the fence and asked for help from the medicine gourd and others.

"Benefactor, help, you are here to save me, I am the guard of the palace of rest, you saved me, our whole family will be grateful to you......"

"Father, whoever saved me is my father, my son kowtowed to you, let me out, I will call you father......"

Everyone sees them as saviors, and even if there is one percent hope, they must fight to the end.

The medicine gourd stretched out his index finger and put it in the center of his lips: "Shh, you all be quiet, you have alarmed those Huns, and the gods can't save you." ”

Everyone immediately nodded, looking at the medicine gourd with expectant eyes, and the medicine gourd then asked: "There is a general of Wusun, who was captured by the dead Hun commander, who has just fought with the Huns, and it has not been long since he was imprisoned, is he also locked up here?" Has any of you seen it? ”

"It's the big man, isn't it? A Han general who can eat with special strength? "There was a prisoner who gave a clue.

"Can you eat it?" The medicine gourd was stunned, who can still eat a lot if they are locked up in this kind of place, but if it is Chang Hui, everything is possible, "Well, it's him." ”

"Benefactor, you keep walking inside, I heard that he is a serious offender, locked in the iron gate, and there are still a lot of iron chains tied to his body, and when he practices every night, those iron chains are rattling." The prisoners kept shaking their heads when they talked about the general.

"He doesn't care if we want to sleep or not, when he's the only one here......"

"That's it, he often sings in the middle of the night, and his broken gong voice is like a ghost, not to mention how scary, I have nightmares as soon as he sings......"

"You hurry up and take him away, this person is too selfish, he doesn't care about the feelings of our people at all, it's hard enough to be a prisoner, and he is still being destroyed by his magic voice all day long......"

Not only can you eat, but you also have the heart to practice singing? Yao Hulu's brows became tighter and tighter, and when he was wondering, Shizhong had already rushed in, pried open the iron door with a dagger, looked at the strong man in front of him who was wearing a cloak and smelled all over his body, and asked tentatively: "General Chang, is it you?" ”

"Master?" As soon as Chang Hui fell asleep, he heard the sound of the iron door being pryed, and before he could see who was coming, he heard this familiar call, "Master, you are here, I knew that you would come to save me......"

Shizhong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the chains on his body, worried that he was weak, and was about to carry him, but Chang Hui opened his legs and rushed out.

"Great, I'm free, I'm finally free......"

Chang Hui shouted excitedly, and at the same time raised his foot and kicked open the cells on both sides, and released all the prisoners inside: "Run, everyone run, run as far as you can, don't complain about my selfishness, I'm your savior......"

"I think you'd better run first!" The medicine gourd pulled Chang Hui out of the crowd, "You are a person, you only know how to talk about righteousness, if you alarm those Huns, we won't be able to escape, I'm not done with you." ”

"Master, let's go." Chang Hui turned around and shouted, and as the crowd poured out, he firmly grasped the hand of the medicine gourd, "I won't be locked up again, even if I die, I won't bother you, old gourd, you will soon know that I will be rewarded for my righteousness." ”
