These words turned everyone's energy back to the two Hu people. Su Mu said: "That Du Changqing just wishfully thinks that they are defectors, and they themselves don't admit it, wait for us to ask." ”

The two were trembling, but when they saw Su Mu walking in front of them, he said gently: "You don't have to be afraid, those wicked officers have been driven away by us." Who are you, where are you from, what are you doing here?"

The woman was not good at Chinese, but the man still spoke smoothly, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your help." We are from the Elite Country, my name is Gu Lunyi, and she is my sister named Gu Li Naza. Our hometown was hit by the plague, and our relatives died, and the two of us didn't want to die, so we ran to the Central Plains. We're not spies, we just don't want to die!"

Chen Baxian frowned and said, "You have come to the Central Plains, but you have ever had the permission of your Elite Country, and you have ever passed the permission of our Great Xia Border Pass?"

Gu Lunyi didn't speak, lowered his head, Chen Baxian secretly said that it was not good, and said tentatively: "You guys ran out secretly, didn't you?"

Gu Lunyi nodded helplessly: "Our country doesn't allow us to escape, so my sister and I had to pack up our things and sneak out at night." Your border guards won't let us in, and we bribed the border guards to get in. ”

It turns out that although the country is small, it is good at business, and every person is a businessman with a very good business mind. The family of Gulunyi and Guli Nazar is a well-known wealthy family in the local area, but they can't escape the plague of natural disasters, and the two packed up all their family property and fled, so there is no lack of gold and silver to use, but the two are in a foreign land, even if they are rich, they are inevitably bullied everywhere. Gu Lun was afraid that the faces of the two would be recognized by the officers and soldiers of Great Xia, so he wore thick clothes, covered his face with a hat, and was low-key and careful everywhere, not wanting to hide it from Du Changqing. That's where today's dispute comes in.

Chen Ba saw that the two of them were pitiful, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but there was something wrong with this, he turned to his junior brother and sister and said: "In this way, the two of them are really defectors, and we have broken the law now." ”

Su Mu frowned and said, "Even if they are defectors, why do they have to die? They are just to live, are they guilty?"

Chen Baxian couldn't convince himself either, let alone persuade Su Mu. Wang Yangming saw that the matter had come to this point, so he said: "Let's not get entangled, the matter has been done, and there is no way to redeem it, and besides, we can't watch the two of them being killed like this without explanation." In my opinion, the top priority is for everyone to rest here for one night, and let the two of them leave this place of right and wrong early tomorrow morning and find a place where no one is around. Let's continue to go to Jiayuguan, don't miss the deadline. What kind of Du Changqing, I think it is a strong inward, and he may not dare to come to us for trouble. If he had a little brain, he would have found out our details before he dared to make noise again. I don't believe that with the names of Guozijian and Miss Su, I can't bluff an eight-grade Xuanjie captain!"

Everyone said yes, and they didn't care about Gu Lunyi and the two at the moment, they ate and drank as usual, and then went back to their rooms to rest when they were full. Gu Lunyi originally wanted to pay a lot of money to thank a few people, but they stopped him and asked him to stay and live in the future, as for how Gu Lunyi and the two would live in the future, they couldn't care so far.

On the second day, Wang Yangming and others got up early and washed up and got up, at this time Gu Lunyi and the two had disappeared, Wang Yangming inquired about the guy at the counter, and learned that the two left before dawn. Wang Yangming expected that the two would not dare to stay for a long time, so they fled for their lives as soon as possible. At that moment, a few people did not stay, got on their horses and ran to the west.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the seven of them rode their horses every day during the day, and they looked for a place to stop when it was dark. Su Mu has a lot of money, and the food and accommodation of several people are first-class, but they don't feel how hard it is. In the past few days, out of the border of Shaanxi, into the territory of Gansu, Jiayuguan has been in sight, and the roadside to see, has been Han and Hu mixed residence, can not distinguish the obvious boundary, the original Great Xia Dynasty border defense is strict, but Han and Hu mixed residence is a common phenomenon since the beginning of the previous dynasty, the Hu people living in the Han realm often intermarry with the Xia people, the children born are with the Han surname, and the living life is no different from the Xia people, the Xia Dynasty admits that these people are the people of the Xia people, but does not drive them away, but by various means to strictly prevent them from collaborating with the enemy and stealing secrets.

As he was walking, he saw smoke and dust billowing half a mile ahead, mixed with the sound of crying, and everyone didn't know what was going on, so they watched carefully. But seeing the smoke and dust in front of him, it was a group of Xia soldiers in military uniform, about thirty or fifty people, riding horses, but behind the horses was followed by a group of civilians, there were men and women, disheveled, and even children under the age of ten, these civilians were all Hu people, their hands were tied with hemp rope, and the other end of the hemp rope was tied to the horse ridden by the soldiers in front, and they were dragged by the horses and staggered forward, and the crying sound that a few people heard was made by these civilians. From time to time, the soldiers shouted and waved their whips at the civilians, and the civilians were in pain and could not help but wail, and the soldiers laughed and enjoyed it.

Wang Yangming frowned, not knowing why these sergeants were abusing civilians, so he said to Chen Baxian, who had the most experience in the rivers and lakes among several people: "Fourth Senior Brother, what do you think is the situation?"

Chen Baxian also looked at it strangely, thought about it, and said: "Xiang Ri has also heard people say that our army is based on military merits, and if you want to be promoted, you have to make military achievements, but how can there be so many battles to fight in the peaceful years, so some people tied up the Hu people in the Han land, pulled them to the military camp and beheaded them, took the head, lied that they were Hu people's spies, and applied for war merits. They call it the Grass Valley. ”

Su Mu listened to the conversation between the two of them, and said angrily: "In broad daylight, how can you do such a thing!

Chen Baxian said: "This kind of thing is done secretly, everyone has a share in the promotion and wealth, the northwest is remote, so everything is hidden, there are people in the court who know the situation, and they have been bribed by these people, who will mention it? Moreover, the life of the military is really hard, so even if there are these petty thefts, everyone will turn a blind eye, and some radicals in the court are eager to kill all these Han and Hu hybrids to feel at ease, because they feel that they are not of my race, and their hearts will be different. ”

Wang Yangming sighed leisurely: "For them, it's a petty theft, but for these civilians, it's a catastrophe of life and death......"

Su Mu said: "Since you bumped into it, you can't ignore it." At that moment, regardless of the others' obstruction, she urged her to step forward and block the soldier's way, and the others saw that they couldn't stop her, and they were afraid that she would suffer, so they had to follow.

The leading sergeant was about thirty years old, and he was enjoying the mistreatment of civilians by his subordinates, and suddenly found that someone was blocking the road in front of him, and he was vigilant in his heart, and asked: "The Great Xia army is carrying out military affairs, what are you doing, dare to come and block the way?"

Su Mu sneered: "What you said, it seems that the whole day is meticulous." We are righteous people, and we can't see people suffering, so I have come to ask you, do these people behind you have violated the king's law or the law, and why are they beating and scolding like this?"

The sergeant saw that these seven people were all young juniors, and people like Wang Yangming and Shen Qingdai were even more childish, so he relaxed his vigilance a little in his heart, and said lazily: "You have spare time to take care of the affairs of the military master." Well, let's talk to you, these are all meticulous works from the Western Regions, and the grandfathers will arrest them and go back to the barracks to ask for a beheading, so as to ensure the safety of my Daxia border, and you hairy boys can have a peaceful life. ”

But when he heard the civilians behind him, they all shouted for help: "Young heroes, help! We are the people who have lived in Han for a long time, how can we be meticulous!" These people's Chinese characters are correct and round, except that their appearance is different from that of the Xia people in the Central Plains, and they can't see any difference.

Su Mu said: "You said that they are meticulous, what evidence do you have?" Besides, those young children behind you are only five or six years old, are they also meticulous?"

When the sergeant saw that these people were not deceived, he immediately said angrily: "We are carrying out military affairs, where do we need to explain to you! Quickly dodge, otherwise we will think that you are meticulous and arrest you together!"

Su Mu saw that he was so angry that he had already torn his face, and he was not polite at the moment, and said, "Okay, if you don't make sense, you will commit murder, right? I am not afraid of you, look at the move!" he drew his sword, jumped up in the saddle, and went straight to the leading sergeant.

When the sergeant saw her move, he shouted, "It's the opposite, brothers, you have captured me!" and the soldiers behind him rode up to meet her and fought with Su Mu.

Chen Ba saw Su Mu leaping on the other party's horse, his body fluttering like catkins, no more stable than the other party sitting on the horse, he was afraid that Su Mu would suffer, so he wanted to come forward to help. Wang Yangming grabbed his head early, took off the bronze heavy sword, and saw a soldier who was about to step forward to smash Su Mu with a sword, the man dropped a lance in his hand, and was about to attack forward, when he saw Wang Yangming's heavy sword smashed like a dragon in the air, he hurriedly used all his strength to set up a lance to block, but Wang Yangming smashed the lance from it with a sword, and the remaining strength was not stopped, and the person was smashed off the horse, and it was more than a zhang smashed. The rest of the soldiers were all shocked when they saw it, and secretly said that this young man was only a teenager, how could he have such strange powers.
