Chapter 29: The Road Is Getting Harder......

Feeling wrong, Guo Rong and Lu Shishi immediately rode their horses and galloped, but when they turned back after walking for about ten miles, Guo Rong still saw a black spot in the distance.

"These damn Tubo people really caught up with them on mules and horses, fuck me!"

"Guo Lang, should we throw these things away......

Lu Shishi's meaning Guo Rong understood that mules and horses were mules and horses after all, and the reason why the two of them would be chased by a group of guys riding mules and horses was entirely because the things on the two hidden horses were too heavy.

But looking at the supplies just replenished, Guo Rong shook his head, it doesn't matter if you eat or drink, but the 50 catties of beans can't be replaced......

"They are carrying short soldiers, and their horses are mainly mules and horses, so there is no doubt that they must be merchants!"

"What is a businessman, for the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws, with 300% profit, they dare to do everything, it is not a good thing to be caught up by such a group of greedy businessmen! What if they reveal our news to the Tibetan army? ”

"So, Guo Lang, what do you mean?"

"Kill them!"

"Ahh There were nearly twenty of them! ”

"What are you afraid of! I resist in front, you shoot arrows in the back......"

Speaking of this, Guo Rong looked up at the pursuing Tubo people, there were still two or three miles away from them, but the number of people was far from his expectations, it was really more than twenty people!

With a ruthless heart, he directly pulled out the Tang knife on the horse's back, cut the cowhide rope between the war horse under his crotch and Lu Shixi's war horse, and at the same time took out two letters from his bosom and stuffed them into Lu Shixi's hands.

"Guo Lang! You? ”

"If the situation is not right, leave me alone, get on two horses and run away,......"

"Guo Lang! ……”

"Time is urgent, don't interrupt me, these two letters are a handwritten letter from my stepfather Guo Weiwu, and the other is a trusted letter from the captured Wei's thousand-year-old!"

"After you leave, immediately march in the direction of the Bone Pulling Field, if there are still Tibetan pursuers, or if the situation continues to deteriorate."

Guo Rong once again took out the captured letter seal and jade pendant from his arms, stuffed them into Lu Shishi's hand, and concisely stated his backup plan.

"You pretend to be Wei Queledade, who came to ask for a marriage!"

"Ahh

"Ahh

"But, Guo Lang...... I ......"

"Shut up," he glanced at the Tibetan merchants who were getting closer and closer, "From that letter, it can be seen that the Pulling Bone Nobe is very optimistic about the marriage, with their strength, they will definitely protect you, and after avoiding the most dangerous moment, they will immediately go south to Fengzhou, as long as they enter the defense area of the Tiande Army, enter Chang'an, and find the Guo ......"

While speaking, Guo Rong had already taken out the gun barrel and gun head in his backpack and combined them together.

"A big man, what are you crying about, a few Tibetan merchants may not be able to hurt me, I'll chase you when I kill them, now you hurry up, we will meet in the Pulling Bone Field......"

As soon as the words fell, Guo Rong kicked the stirrup lightly, held a spear, and rushed towards the more than 20 people......

However, when the Tibetan merchants on the opposite side saw the spear in Guo Rong's hand and the situation of looking at death as if they were at home, they stopped and raised their hands one by one.

"Honorable, we are Tang people, Tang merchants in Hexi!"

"Appeal ......"

Hearing the Tang Yin in Hexi, and seeing the gang of "Tubo? Datang? After the merchant really didn't have any weapons, Guo Rong hurriedly reined in his horse, and Lu, who didn't want to escape, also led the horse team to trot all the way and followed behind Guo Rong.

The leading merchant turned over and dismounted, and took two cloth bags the size of a keju from the hands of his men behind him.

He walked over with his hands raised, and when he was 156 meters away from Guo Rong and Lu 15, he put things on the ground.

The summer breeze of the Gobi blew through, and the coarse cloth was blown away, revealing dried meat, and the other was a few Tubo-style clothes.

"We are Tang merchants in Ganzhou, Hexi!"

"I haven't seen Datang's soldiers on this trade route for many years! Dare to ask the general, is it that our Datang people are coming back soon! ”

is in his forties, with a hint of Hexi accent in Chang'an's official dialect, as well as the yearning and attachment to the Tang Dynasty in his voice, and ......

Guo Rong only glanced at this group of people, and he didn't dare to look into their eyes, because the eyes of these two dozen people were full of hope......

Guo Rong knew that what they wanted to hear now was Guo Rong's affirmative answer, but how dare he give them an affirmative answer!

seemed to understand what Guo Rong meant, but the light in the eyes of the leading Tang people dimmed suddenly.

He gave a cross hand salute to Guo Rong, and then said his farewell:

"This way...... It's getting harder and harder to walk. ”

"Master Jun, your military horses are too eye-catching, it's better to find a place to deal with it, and if possible, try not to use Tang Yin......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at a few more clothes on the ground, and Guo Rong completely understood why he felt that these guys were looking at him wrong from the beginning.

In the eyes of experienced people walking on the trade road, the combination of military horses, Tang Yin, and Hanfu can almost be judged as the existence of the Tang Army.

Thinking about this, Guo Rong was afraid for a while, and his back was cold, what if they met not these Hexi merchants, but the real Tubo merchants?

didn't say anything, or rather, Guo Rong, as the last messenger of the Tang Army in Anxi, had nothing to say about this group of people he had no way to protect.

He bowed to the merchants and nodded to the group.

With the long sigh of the group, Guo Rong watched this group of Hexi Tang people slowly disappear from his sight.

Lu Fourteen didn't understand, he turned over and dismounted and took back the jerky and a pair.

"Guo Lang, you said that they can all become businessmen, why don't you go back to Datang by yourself?"

Although Lu Shishi is a native of Hexi, he really doesn't understand it when he lives in the Western Regions all the year round, on the contrary, Guo Rong knows a lot from the mouth of the veteran Youzi, and he himself has seen many merchants who secretly help the Anxi Army transport grain, grass and iron tools.

"This group of merchants, coming and going to Mobei, Hexi, and the Western Regions, seems to be free, but in fact they are all controlled by the Tibetan army."

"Their families are supervised by the Tibetans, and there is also a time limit for traveling to and ...... places to do business, and once the time limit is missed, all the family members will become slaves and maids, and their descendants and relatives will cut off their hands and feet."

Lu Shixi was also silent, and it took a few seconds before he spoke.

"When we are in the sandbank, the same is true, we are not allowed to speak Tang Yin, we are not allowed to wear Tang clothes, we are dressed on the left, and the Han children are all Hu'er language......"

"The elderly Tang people, once they can't plant the land, they will be pulled out of the city gate by the Tubo people and beheaded directly."

"The Tibetans would hang their heads above the city gates, and those who tried to escape would be chopped off when they were caught."

"The Tibetans did this to warn us not to try to escape......

"When Shazhou fell, when I was still young, my brother told me at that time that the Tang Dynasty would come back soon, and my father also told me to always remember my identity as a Tang person."

"However, before the Tang army came back, one day our family was escorted out of the sandbar by the Tubo people to Luoshu City, but ...... on the way."

This is the first time that Lu Shishi has told himself about his past......
