The two Gui archers brought by Zong Lu faintly sensed that something was wrong, and retreated behind Zong Lu with the hilt of the knife at their waists, and faintly formed a confrontation with Gong Juezan and the other seven people.

Ge Rilang hurriedly stood up and became a peacemaker: "Zong Lu, why bother like this, Mr. Qian has no malicious intentions, he just wants you to make up for your mistakes." ”

Gong Juezan laughed and said, "Zong Lu, yesterday we lost the entire thousand-man team, such a big sin, we need people to stand up." I thought about it, this sweep of the Green Ridge Hidden Division, from beginning to end, you were the one who planned it, who will bear this charge if you don't carry it? Even if you refuse to break off the credit, and in the future, Dongdai Dongben will blame you, and you will inevitably wear a fox tail and be shown to the public. ”

Sure enough, Gong Juezan was ready to put the big hat on his head that had been wiped out by the entire army without permission, and Zong Lu's heart was as cold as falling into an ice cellar, but there was nothing to be done.

The ancestor of this Gong Juezan is a direct relative of Chinian Songzan, and it is not something that he can compete with from a slave born who has been promoted from Yong to Gui step by step by fighting and fighting, and then promoted to an officer.

Zong Lu felt despair at this moment, despair for the whole world, he thought that he had changed his ant-like fate, but this bloody reality told him that after tearing the truth, he was still the 'Yong' who was driven as a slave.

Gong Juezan's voice became gentle, but there was still a high coldness in his tone: "Zong Lu, as long as you are willing to sacrifice your life, it is equivalent to making up for it, and after I go back, I will say to Dongdai Dongben that your family is still Guihu, and your son will still be a Gui shooter when he becomes an adult, and he doesn't need to be like you, after countless bloodshed and fighting, in order to exchange for the identity of Guihu." ”

Zong Lu was silent, this was indeed the only wealth he could leave for his family, in order to prevent his son from being reduced to a mediocre support for consumption, what else could he do?

He bowed slightly and saluted Gong Juezan with a hug on his chest: "Respect your order, I hope that President Qian will not break his word." ”

Gong Juezan squirmed his lips and smiled, then pointed to the two Gui archers behind him and said, "You two are the same, you died bravely, and you will be rewarded for your descendants, and your family will also be Guihu in the future." ”

The two of them also saluted with their chests in tribute Juezan, and the three of them turned over on their horses with sad and indignant expressions and ran towards the road they came.

Gong Juezan only glanced at their figures, and then ordered everyone to get on their horses and take a shortcut back to Tanju Ridge.

The three of Zonglu were in the most exhausted state, and they fled for a whole day, and they couldn't even eat a mouthful of tsamba. These Gui archers never carried dry food, and all food supplies were carried by Yong Guardians, and now Yong Guards have fled or died.

It's a pity that I didn't get a full meal before I died.

They reined in their horses in front of the mountain pass, and there were already ten Tang troops on the hilly slopes in the distance, rushing towards this side with murderous vigour.

The hands of the two Gui archers holding the reins of the horses trembled slightly, they were here to send them to death, and the battle armor of the Tang Army officers led by them shone in the sun, and there were gloomy eyes that wanted to choose people under their pockets. Behind his back was a flagpole like a battle flag, and the head of the knife was dancing with cyan light, and the edge of this unique banner was enough to make anyone look terrified.

Zong Lu turned his head to look left and right at the two Gui shooters beside him, pressed the chill in his heart and asked, "You two, who will go first?" ”

"I'll come."

One person grabbed the barrel of the gun and rode his horse to rush forward, Li Siye suddenly pulled out the Mo knife, the light flashed, blood splashed, and Gui Archer's man had already rolled down to the horse.

Zong Lu turned his head mechanically and asked the other, "What about you?" ”

The man trembled, but he also mustered up the courage to let out a throat-piercing cry: "Ah! ”

He rushed over across the war horse, but the result was still not enough to withstand a knife, Li Siye cut it head-on, and even the people and horses were cut to the ground with flesh and blood.

Facing the centaurs lying on the ground and turning into a pool of flesh and bones, Zong Lu's upper and lower teeth jumped, and it turned out that the more he waited until the end, the more he could not face the fear of death.

Li Siye looked at him expressionlessly, and said coldly: "It's just you, come up." ”

Zong Lu couldn't move, this was the result of them staying to block the enemy, the three of them couldn't stop the enemy for a moment, did there be any point in his sacrifice to die?

Li Siye waited impatiently, and said coldly: "Since you refuse to come up and send you to death, then I will solve you." ”

He clamped the horse's body between his legs, stepped forward with a Mo knife in both hands, and just as the blade was about to pick up, Zong Lu suddenly screamed: "Don't kill me!" Surrender! ”

The blade that Li Siye swung out suddenly stopped in mid-air, and Zong Lu's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, he was wondering if he had shouted that sentence just now, doubting whether he was still alive. Looking at the blade that stayed above his head, all the parts of his body were still able to move, he trembled and rolled off his horse and knelt in front of Li Siye, losing the dignity of a brave Gui.

"Tubo is about to surrender to you as the 500 chief Zonglu of the Tangjuling garrison fort under the command of Kagaruhunu Dongdai," he took the initiative to raise his head and said: "Chief, the enemy's leader Qianzong Gongjuezan ordered me to come to stop you, he is holding the wife and daughter of the general of the Hidden Tribe, and has taken a shortcut and quickly rushed to Tanjuling, I also know a shortcut, which can help the commander intercept Gongjuezan halfway." ”

"Very good," Li Siye nodded approvingly: "Then go ahead and lead the way." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed three times in a row to Li Siye before standing up in a daze.

Zong Lu turned over and got on his horse, and when he decided to join the enemy, his heart calmed down, what is more precious than being alive? All the beliefs that had been held on to in the past have long since collapsed. As long as Gong Juezan was eliminated by the hands of the Tang army, no one could escape back to Tanjuling alive. He lived incognito, and the Tubo people would think that he had died in battle, and his wife and children would be regarded as family members of martyrs, and Gui's identity would not be removed.

He led the Tang army over the concave mountains of the Karakoram Mountains, and in this May weather, the green mountains and fields below the mountains were already green, but the many peaks of the Karakoram Mountains were covered with snow, and when the cold wind blew through the mountains, everyone's faces ached like whips.

Fortunately, the snow had melted on the lower ground, and a path could be found along the brown rocks, and when they encountered a steep hill, they led their horses to walk. They worked day and night until the next morning, when they were already walking downhill.

Zong Lu was too tired to speak, and he staggered to his horse. Li Siye ordered everyone to rest under a boulder, and the soldiers took out compressed biscuits and cured meat to nibble on, and chewed on the cold snow water in the water bag.

Zong Lu was fortunate enough to get a few compressed biscuits and cured meat, and chewed a few bites, only to think that this thing was more delicious than tsamba, with plenty of salt, and the smell of animal fat.

After resting for nearly a stick of incense, the group set out on the road again, and when they came to the low-lying valley, they saw the long-lost green grass and shrubs, and a clear river stream flowing downstream with waves.

Zong Lu stopped, pointed to the mountain road beside the river and stream, and said, "This is it, the shortcut they have detoured, this is the place where they must pass, you lie in ambush here and wait, you will be able to stop them all."

Tian Zhen took out the knife from his waist, crossed his neck and said with a hideous face: "If you dare to deceive us, Ye Ye will cut the flesh on your body with a knife!"

Zong Lu raised his head and replied calmly: "Since I have surrendered and am bent on survival, how dare I deceive you." Before sunset to-day, if they don't pass by, let you kill you. ”

Li Siye glanced back at him, but just waved his hand before Tian Zhen took the knife off his neck.

Zong Lu hurriedly took two steps forward, and seeing that the military men standing on both sides of Li Siye were about to draw out their steel knives, he quickly stopped his steps and prayed to Li Siye: "When you kill Gong Juezan and the others later, can I hide and don't let them see it."

"What, you're afraid that they will see you join the enemy?" Tian Zhen and the others laughed on the side: "What is there to be ashamed of?" Didn't the grandson of your Tubo Haogui Lu Dongzan also descend to my Tang Dynasty? He was also given the Han surname, the name Gongren, the general of Yulin Wei, the Duke of Anguo, and the thousands of households in Shiyi. Although you are not as noble as them, but in the future, you will join our Tang Army, charge into battle, work hard, and be a lieutenant and a lieutenant, what is it better than giving your dog Zampu his life?"
