The postman was very happy, and the boss was unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey the innkeeper, so he quickly ran out of the yard, shouting: "Stop shooting, it's coming!" It's coming!"

The postman muttered and pulled open the door, but saw more than a dozen very embarrassed soldiers standing outside, they had no armor on their bodies, they were wearing yellow-brown middle clothes, their heads were wiped with foreheads, their faces were blown black and yellow by the Gobi wind, and although there were horizontal knives hanging on their waists, they had nothing to do with the majesty.

The postman crossed his hands and saluted: "A few military masters, please come in, who are you?"

One of the sturdy men said, "We went out on business, passed by the Stone Tower Station, and came in to get saliva to drink."

The postman was still worried about the topic of everyone in the grass hall, and he didn't pay much attention to these people, and said perfunctorily: "Master Jun, there is a well in the middle of the courtyard, you can drink it directly with a wheel, the grass hall is full, if you want to keep it, you can go to the idle post house to rest."

"No need," the man waved his hand: "We still have official business, let's leave after drinking water."

"Then, military masters, please take care of yourself." The postman bowed down and slapped his hand at the soldiers, turned around and hurriedly ran back to the grass hall, where General Li was blowing, how could he be missing.

This postman didn't know that the main lord they were talking about was standing in front of them, but it was not as powerful as the legend said, and it was earth-shattering.

In order to eliminate the remnants of the sand bandits entrenched in the Gobi Desert, Li Siye also divided the soldiers under his command into pieces and dispersed, with 16 people as a team, dressed lightly and dressed as sand bandits, thinking that peers can attract some of them, but he did not expect that this recruitment had little effect, and the sand bandits were easily not fooled. It wasn't until two days ago that he led this team to smell the traces of a group of sand bandits, and pursued them all the way into the desert for hundreds of miles before killing all of them.

This was their way back to the Gobi, the fresh water on horseback was drunk, and the group of people were dry, but fortunately they rushed to the newly built stone tower post in the right direction.

"Quick, go and shake the wheel down to quench the thirst of the guys."

Yan Xiaosi came to the well, carried a bucket and threw it into the well water, and then shook the roller up with difficulty.

Li Siye simply sat on the ground, his face was probably covered by the wind and sand, and under such conditions, he couldn't talk about being clean.

The postman returned to the grass hall of the Banzhufang, and the merchants were still arguing about General Li's deeds and appearance, and the postmaster lay on the counter and asked him, "Where are the people outside?"

"A few soldiers who went out on business came over to drink saliva when they were tired."

"Since the Tang Army is on business, why don't you invite them into the post house? The agreement between our post station and the Metropolitan Protectorate stated that we were to entertain soldiers, messengers, and officials on official business free of charge, and to be responsible for the replacement of horses. ”

The postman snorted: "I have already told the people, they are still in a hurry, drink saliva and leave."

Some of the merchants in the room also noticed the soldiers outside, and saw that they were not wearing armor, and there were many soldiers who came and went on the Khotanese Road to change guards, pass military orders, and transport grain and grass, so they did not take it to heart.

"Come, let's continue to know, this General Li just wiped out the most powerful Sha Lifei gang in the desert a few days ago, I heard that this Sha Lifei recruited a group of Turks to be his subordinates, even the Tang army guarding along the Gobi is not afraid, and the tributes from the countries of the Western Regions to the imperial court also dare to rob. is so arrogant that he dares to have a hard time with General Li, and as a result, stop cooking! was stabbed in the head by General Li, and even the men and horses were cut in half......"

……

Yan Xiaosi lifted the first bucket of water out of the wellhead, picked up the gourd scoop on the edge of the well platform, mentioned it in front of Li Siye, scooped it up himself, and handed it to him with both hands.

"General, please use it."

Li Siye was already so thirsty that his throat was smoking, but he still had to maintain the demeanor of a general, and after drinking a few big sips with both hands, he handed the scoop back and said: "Let's drink two sips to quench our thirst first, and fill the water bag when we are full, and hurry back to Niyang City on the road, and this crackdown on bandits can be regarded as over."

Yan Xiaosi squatted on the ground and said: "It is estimated that there are still one or two small stocks of sand bandits, and it is estimated that they will not be able to become a climate, and everyone who is really big has been cleaned up by us, and this can be peaceful on the Khotanese Road for a year or two."

The soldiers made several buckets together, filled the water bags one by one, and hung them on the horses.

Li Siye patted his stomach and asked everyone: "Have you drunk and rested?"

"Alright."

"Get on the road."

"Whoa!"

The soldiers led their horses and walked towards the door of the post station, and the post chief in the grass hall glanced out, and instructed the post man who was following the crowd to rap: "The soldiers are gone, you go out to send the meaning, and close the door with a piggyback."

The postman ran out reluctantly, and followed the ass of the soldiers out of the post gate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, go slowly."

"Hmm."

He hesitated and was about to close the gate, but heard a man say: "General, this time the brothers have been running around in the wind and sand of the Gobi Desert with you for more than four months, and the birds are almost fading out of their mouths. When you get back to Qiuzi, if you can take us to the orchid restaurant for a belly round, we will be satisfied. ”

"Oh, look at your little bit of interest."

The postman's ears buzzed twice, and the words general and turtle fluttered in his mind, feeling a little unbelievable, looking at the disgraced appearance of these people, how could there be a general.

He pushed open the door curiously, and looked at the horse beside the strong man who was called the general, and it turned out to be a black horse, and he looked up to see the armor tied to the horse's back, with phoenix wings and wings! Silver and blue mountain armor! It turned out to be right! Not to mention the horned bow hanging from the saddle, the most important thing is the long pole that crosses the horse's body, the tail of the pole is equipped with a copper wheath, and the head is wearing a long scabbard, isn't this that!! ……

He stood there in a daze, unable to even utter a word, so nervous that he couldn't even take a step, took two long deep breaths, and hurriedly staggered into the yard to run, so excited that his snot spurted out.

He slammed into the door with a bang, startling the merchants in the grass hall, and stammered, "I, I, I ......."

The postmaster angrily slapped the counter: "What are you doing!" Reckless!"

The postman shouted, "I see it! General Lee!"

"Who do you see?" The crowd asked in disbelief.

"Nonsense, are your eyes glazed?"

"That's him! I see him! Dark horse, Mo knife, silver Qingshan Wenjia! That's him!" He took everyone's suspicions as grievances, and even squeezed tears out of his eyes: "That's right! I won't be mistaken, he just drank water in our yard! His knife and armor were hanging on horseback, which I didn't see at first! But I saw it all later!"

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and suddenly someone spoke: "Quick, quick!" It should be able to catch up now!"

A group of people rushed towards the door, and when they rushed out of the gate of the post station, the Gobi Desert was flat, and more than a dozen figures were vaguely seen blurred in the rising hot air, but one of them must be standing tall.

They didn't know what words of gratitude and admiration they could say when they caught up, and perhaps they would be as nervous and helpless as this courier, but it would be more appropriate to look at them from a distance, and a group of people knelt on the sand, and bowed to the place where the figure was about to disappear.

"General Lee! Grace is as heavy as a mountain, kneel and thank Engong!"

(PS: Thank you for the red reward from generation to generation.) ）
