After making all the preparations and hanging the water bladder filled with water on both sides of the saddle, Lu Shixi complained with a smile.

"These water bladders are too heavy, if you wait for the grassland, you have to throw some out, otherwise the horses will die of exhaustion."

"Sigh the law ......"

seemed to be echoing Lu Fourteen, and the war horse who was set up with the kettle also sighed and kicked his hooves by the way.

"Hehe~ You think you too, right?" Seeing that the war horse echoed himself, Lu Shishi touched the forehead of the war horse.

Seeing this scene, Guo Rong's dull mood felt better, and he couldn't help but chuckle and speak.

"The yellow sand of Anxi is dry all day and day, and there is no water to go out of here, although there is a water source on the grassland, but it is said that there is a poisonous miasma, which is also a helpless thing, if you go to the grassland and the Central Plains, I am afraid that the two of us will not even be able to drink two bags of water a day."

Seeing Guo Rong say this, Lu Shishi's attention was also attracted, and his face was full of longing.

"I haven't been to the Central Plains yet, Guo Lang, has anyone in your family been to the Central Plains? I heard that Guanzhong Avenue is vast, there are more than 100 squares in Chang'an City, the population is more than one million, Suzaku Avenue is more than 30 zhang wide, 10 miles long, the city wall is 78 zhang high, and four cars can be parallel......"

"No one in my family has ever been to Chang'an, but some of the older soldiers in Qiuzi say that the majesty of the Tang Dynasty lies in Chang'an, but the most prosperous one is Suyang in the south of the Yangtze River." Guo Rong had a rare answer.

"Su Yang, I know, some old people in Shazhou say that there are "thin horses" in Yangzhou, and they are white and beautiful, and even Shule's mutton fat and white jade are not comparable. ”

Lu Shishi responded to Guo Rong with a smile.

While talking, the two packed up everything, turned over their horses, and headed east, from then on to the Tang Dynasty, counting five thousand miles...... "Qin Shi Mingyue... Han Shi Guan! The Long March has not been returned~"

"But make the dragon city fly in the general, and don't teach Humadu Yin Mountain......"

"The horse crosses the white jade saddle newly, and the moonlight is cold on the battlefield after the battle......"

"The sound of the iron drum at the head of the city is still shaking, and the blood of the golden knife in the box has not dried up......"

"But make the dragon city fly in ...... Don't teach Humado Yinshan! Don't teach Humado Yinshan ......"

This is a military song compiled by Guo Rong when he was in Qiuzi, using Wang Changling's "Out of the Stopper", Guo Xin thought it was good at that time, and directly used it as the military song of the Anxi Army, and sang it slowly.

In fact, Guo Rong prefers another song, an intellectual youth military song in the era of danger, but considering the white-haired veterans of Qiuzi, he finally changed it to a stopper.

"Guo Lang! Although the tone of this military song is a little strange, it is indeed sung comfortably! ”

Lu Shishi, who was riding on horseback, spoke eagerly, and Guo Rong in front also smiled happily when he heard it.

"That's it! If you go to Chang'an, I will definitely write and spread the things about Anxi, so that the whole world will know that there is a lonely city for thousands of miles, and the Anxi army full of white-haired soldiers will be known! ”

"Okay, I'll help you then!"

Hearing Lu Shixi's response in a rare high-pitched tone, Guo Rong couldn't help but look back at Lu Shixi, originally he only thought that Lu Shixi was a thief wandering in the Western Regions.

Tubo enslaved the land of Hexi and Beiting, so that the Tang people were not allowed to wear Tang clothes, could not speak the official language of the Tang people, and could not write Chinese characters.

The older people are slightly better, but under the high pressure of many years, a large part of those teenagers with weak crowns really don't recognize Tang Yin and Chinese characters.

Although the Tubo people are arrogant and ferocious, but the glory of Zhenguan and Kaiyuan is still there, the Tang Dynasty is not exhausted, and the people in the occupied areas still like to regard themselves as Tang people, and it is said that some children of Hexi families still quietly hide in the secret room to learn Chinese characters and official dialect.

However, according to Lu Shishi's age, he has relatively standard Hexi Tang pronunciation and official dialect, knows Chinese characters, can read maps, and can also master the language and script of Tibet, which is very remarkable.

In addition, after Lu Shishi's name, the Yan Qing who followed added a touch of mystery to Lu Shishi, which couldn't help but make Guo Rong curious about Lu Shishi's identity.

Under the side knock, Lu Shishi obviously didn't want to answer, so Guo Rong didn't dig too deep.

However, the relatively leisurely journey between the two was interrupted after entering Illinois, and within seven days, the two encountered three waves of messengers and two waves of scouts.

Simply this place still belongs to the inner line of the Tibetan people, and there are no more than 3 people in either the messenger or the horse.

Guo Rong's injuries have recovered most of the time, although Lu Shishi doesn't know what the hell the system is, Guo Rong found that he can add points for Lu Shishi!

When Guo Rong replaced Lu Shiwei and increased his strength to 10 points of normal human level, Lu Shiwei finally got rid of the level where loading arrows with a three-stone crossbow could stretch himself.

Then Guo Rong specially exchanged a two-stone crossbow for Lu Shishi, which was one size smaller, and with Lu Shishi's super agility and his own understanding, he could already become Guo Rong's help!

Tibetan messengers or tanma with less than three people pose no threat to the two of them at all, and they often "whoosh!" Sou! "Two crossbows plus Guo Rong's rifle can easily end the battle.

If it doesn't work, come twice, anyway, it's not the elite of the Tubo people, and the chain mail can't resist the strong crossbow, anyway, Guo Rong has a store, and there is no shortage of very valuable items such as armor-piercing arrows.

After killing more than a dozen Tubo people in a row, Guo Rong's attributes have not changed much, some gold has been added, and his experience is far from being upgraded.

But after discovering that Lu Shiv could also be upgraded and could accumulate attributes, under Guo Rong's deliberate cultivation, Lu Shiv was quickly upgraded to level five, and his attributes were also upgraded from the five scum of battle to a real warrior.

In fact, with the improvement of Lu Shi's combat power, Guo Rong believed that even if he encountered four to six Tanma, with his 20 stamina, 16 strength, 16 agility, full proficiency of the rifle, two layers of heavy armor with internal locks and external ties, plus Lu Shixi's back, he could also take it down.

Subsequently, in order to avoid exposing the target and misleading the attention of the Tibetan garrison, the two went south and took advantage of the darkness to attack a post station of the Tibetans on the Silk Road.

After eliminating 8 post soldiers, Lu 14 was upgraded to level 6, and Lu 14 also found a map of the distribution of the Yizhou Tubo garrison and Wubao from the post station.

This unexpected distribution map made Guo Rong and Lu Shishi ecstatic, and after camouflaging a trace of going south, the two made a detour to the north again.

"We are about to leave Illinois and enter Uighur territory."

Lu Shishi took the map in his hand, looked at the green plants that appeared in front of him from time to time, and Lu Shiwei said to Guo Rong with a smile.

In fact, if you enter the steppes, you will enter the territory of the Uighurs.

But in the same way, in their own hinterland, the Tubo people would not arrange too many soldiers and horses, but in the face of the Uighurs, who nominally had 200,000 troops, the Tubo people did not dare to be careless, and scouts, horse scouts, rangers, and patrols often haunted.

It can be said that the closer you get to the Uighurs, the more dangerous it becomes!

In fact, in less than ten days after bypassing the city of Yizhou and entering the area near the grassland, the two encountered six waves of Tibetan horses, which was the result of a large part of the Tibetan people's experience being attracted to the Silk Road.

Fortunately, in front of the duo with improved comprehensive strength, everything was in danger, and it also made Lu Shishi's one level higher.

Taking the map from Lu Shishi's hand, "Thirty miles further east is the last stronghold of Tubo to the east!" ”
