If Lu An was there, he would definitely be shocked by the current relationship between Pu Zhen and Erma!

The two who were originally inseparable and almost fought for life and death are now joining forces!

And all this, Mu Lingfeng, as his wife, didn't reveal even a little bit to Lu An!

Long before Pu Zhen led his troops to defeat Du into the city, the city lord of Gao sent people to the capital of Gaochang to ask for help.

Of course, because the city was broken, because of Pu Zhen and Erma's words, the city lord Gao then sent people to the national capital again to report the situation truthfully.

Therefore, when the rescuers sent by the lord of Gaochang had just reached the halfway point, they were intercepted again.

Lu An followed Pu Zhen's team, stayed in the city for one night, and began to return to the southeast early the next morning.

Along the way, seeing Erma and Pu Zhen getting closer and closer, Lu An specially instructed Qiao'er and Mu Lingfeng to be optimistic about Hai'er.

Erma, who has regained her memory, has more and more recovered the characteristics she had when she was a Turkic princess, which has to arouse Lu An's vigilance.

With the skills he learned from Mu Lingfeng, if he really wants to face Erma alone, he is completely looking for death.

There was no real affection between this Turkic princess and Lu An, and it was completely because of a misunderstanding that they came together and had the child Hai'er.

Now that her fate is over, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not take the opportunity to take the child away and return to the Turks.

At the same time, because Hai'er was still young and couldn't do without her mother's milk, Lu An had to let Erma get close to the child.

In this tense and contradictory psychology, the team left the Western Regions and entered the Yumen Pass.

Returning to the Central Plains this time, unlike when he came, the Black Armor Army led by Pu Zhen was fully armed, which naturally caused the tension of the defenders of Shouchang City, the first city in Yumen Pass.

Shouchang, only 20 miles away from Dunhuang, the city is not big, and the defenders are only more than 200 people.

However, when Pu Zhen led people to the outside of Shouchang City, he found that not only was the city gate closed, but the defenders on the city tower were actually Turkic!

Four months ago, when they passed through Shouchang, they made a detour so as not to attract attention, so they did not know the specific situation here.

But all along, the cities within the Yumen Pass have been dominated by the Han people in the Central Plains.

Even if for decades, the Central Plains has been unable to look westward, and at most the city lords of these cities have only stood on their own, but they have never been infiltrated by other foreign races.

However, this time, the defenders who appeared in Shouchang City actually appeared in the forces of the Kongji people, and Pu Zhen was immediately furious.

Not only him, but Erma's face was also ugly.

According to the situation Tuyia described to him, Shouchang at this moment should have become the control of the Turkic Mystic Khan.

"How about it, General Pu, to fight, or not to fight?"

"Of course you have to fight!"

"Okay, I'll go over and find out the situation first, and you guys can improvise."

After saying this, Erma rode alone, came to the bottom of the tower, and shouted to the top of the tower in Turkic.

"Who's the guard here? Come out and meet me! ”

Soon, a Turkic head leaned out, "Who are you?" What's going on with the teams in the back? ”

"We are the people who drive the head of the hundred households of the Luohu, and we are going to the Western Regions on the order of the Great Khan, and we are about to return to restore our lives, passing through Shouchang, hurry up and open the city gate, so that we can replenish our supplies!"

"The head of a hundred households?" The man above the city tower became suspicious, pointed at Pu Zhen and the others and said, "What's the matter with their clothes?"

Besides, how could there be so many soldiers and horses under the head of the hundred households of He Luohu? ”

Erma chuckled, "You coward, General Ben really doubts, what did you rely on to become the head of a hundred households!"

The head of the hundred households of Heluohu is the most loyal subordinate of the second son of the Great Khan, Bandar Qijin!

He was ordered to go to the Western Regions to expand his territory, not only successfully completed the task, but also subdued the elites of dozens of countries in the Western Regions.

When I return to the sweat tent this time, I will inevitably be promoted to the head of a thousand households!

If you hesitate here any longer and delay our journey with Lord Holohu, the Great Khan will blame you and punish you with death!" ”

Erma Turkic was extremely fluent, and because of his noble status, the words he spoke were full of momentum, and the head of the hundred households above the city tower hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the city gate.

Seeing this, Erma immediately waved her hand behind her, and was the first to ride into the city gate.

Pu Zhen led his troops to follow.

Before Pu Zhen and the others could enter the city gate, Erma had already chopped down several Turkic soldiers on both sides of the city gate to the ground.

The sudden change occurred, and the air soldiers in the city were suddenly in chaos, and it was too late to close the city gate, Pu Zhen led the troops to rush in and quickly controlled the situation.

After Erma captured the hundred immortals, he brought them to Pu Zhen.

Lu An also hurriedly caught up, and without waiting for Pu Zhen to speak, he first asked, "Some time ago, was there a caravan passing through Shouchang City?" ”

The man looked at Lu An, his eyes wandered, and he was silent.

Erma immediately shouted in Turkic, "What's your name?" ”

"I, my name is Buerhan, I was ordered to conquer Shouchang two months ago, and I am stationed here."

"Do you recognize me, then?"

Bulhan glanced at the fluent Turkic woman in front of him and shook his head.

"Humph! Have you ever heard the name Princess Erma? ”

"What?" When Buerhan heard this, his eyes immediately widened, "Impossible! ”

"Hehe, it was the Qisi Khan who told you, this princess has already died, right!"

Erma sneered, "Say! In the last few days, has there been a caravan passing by Shouchang! ”

"About ten days ago, a caravan passed through here.

However, the last general was ordered to garrison Shouchang, the purpose of which was to intercept the trade caravans between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and cut off the exchanges between the Western Regions and the Central Plains.

Therefore, after the caravan of more than 100 people appeared, the last general sent troops to rob and kill them.

It's a pity that the last general didn't expect that the caravan escort was extremely powerful, if it wasn't for the last general to bring his troops back to the city in time, I'm afraid that Shouchang City would have been taken long ago.

After all, the caravan was not large in number, and it was impossible to forcibly attack the city, so it bypassed Shouchang City and walked east from the south. ”

Erma explained it to Lu An in Chinese.

When Lu An heard this, his heart was relieved.

However, the next moment, he asked again, "Erma, you ask him for me, since Shouchang was taken by the Turks, what about Dunhuang?" And Zhangye, Wuwei, etc., have they all been invaded by the Turks? ”

Erma nodded and asked again.

Buerhan shook his head, "The last general doesn't know this."

However, now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, Qisi Khan is planning to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and his inability to look westward to completely and completely control the cities of Hexi.

Even if you haven't conquered those cities yet, you'll be able to take them all in the near future. ”

"What?!" When Erma heard this, she was immediately stunned.

Lu An, Pu Zhen and Mu Lingfeng couldn't understand Turkic language, and seeing that Erma didn't translate in time, they were worried that there would be problems in the cities they were going to pass through next, so they hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Only then did Erma slowly speak, "He said that Qisi Khan intends to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to completely control the cities of Hexi......"

"Central Plains chaos?" Lu An and the three of them let out exclamations almost at the same time.
