Li Zhen has never left Dunhuang City since he was a child, Dunhuang City is located on the border, except for the Mogao Grottoes, there are no celebrities he has heard of in his previous life.

In my previous life, I heard of the celebrities of this era, but they were Wu Zetian, Di Renjie, Shangguan Wan'er, Princess Taiping, Li Longji and others, but those celebrities were all high, not Dunhuang teenagers like him could see them.

He didn't expect that in this remote cave, he met the first celebrity after he came to Datang, Gao Lishi, wasn't he the father-in-law Gao who took off his boots for Li Bai for a while?

However, what he met was the young Gao Lishi, and a thought flashed through Li Zhen's mind, if he hadn't saved them today, would Gao Lishi have died here?

Gao Lishi was about eleven or twelve years old, very smart and clever, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Li Xi and said: "Brother Li's life-saving grace, Lux also remembers it, if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely repay it with all his might." ”

Li Zhen came back to his senses and hurriedly helped Gao Lishi up, but he secretly thought in his heart, it turned out that they were all palace eunuchs, and they didn't know why they came to Dunhuang?

The wine zhi next to him was very unhappy, and said that he would return after a long time, who knows who they are?

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, he stood up and said viciously: "I'll throw a thread!"

He turned around angrily and went out, but Jiuzhi didn't come out conveniently, he ran directly down the mountain, searched for a while, and finally found the skin bag inlaid with gems, he stuffed the skin bag into his arms, and said to himself hatefully, "Lao Tzu doesn't want you to thank you, this belongs to me!"

At this time, a hurried horse's hooves came from a distance, Jiuzhi was shocked, turned around and ran, but heard someone shouting in the distance: "Wine fatty, it's us!"

This was Kang Dazhuang's voice, Jiu Zhi was immediately overjoyed, and he waved his arms excitedly and shouted: "Lao Kang, I'm here!"

In a moment, a group of more than 100 Tang cavalry rushed in, surrounded Jiuzhi, dozens of spears aimed at him, and behind him, Kang Dazhuang and Xiaoxi rode horses and rushed over, shouting loudly: "Don't mess around, it's your own people!"

Jiu Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief, he*, reinforcements are finally here!

This cavalry of the Tang Army was the scout sent by Wang Xiaojie, the commander of the Tang Army, to find Gao Yanfu, Wang Xiaojie sent five teams of cavalry to find the envoy between Yumen and Dunhuang, but this area is hundreds of miles in radius, basically no man's land, and it is not easy to find the target.

This group of cavalry has been looking for two days, and they have seen a few killed followers today, so they chased along the horseshoe prints, and happened to meet Kang Dazhuang and Xiao Xi who came to the rescue.

At this time, Gao Yanfu and Zhang Xi also rushed down from the conglomerate mountain, and the two were overjoyed, and the Tang army rushed to escort them, and now they were really safe.

Tang Jun turned over and dismounted for the officer, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Don't be a general Liu Zhanhong under the command of the lowly king, it is too late to rescue the king, and the crime deserves death!"

Gao Yanfu didn't blame Wang Xiaojie for sending troops to rescue him late, because he didn't want to go to Wang Xiaojie, and now Wang Xiaojie can send troops to escort him.

He nodded, "General Liu, please get up, I'm not in any danger, just a little setback on the way, but it's okay for you to come, let's go to Dunhuang together!"

Gao Yanfu walked back and asked Li Zhen, "Does Li Shaolang go back to Dunhuang with me, or continue to Yumen?"

Li Zhen said with a smile: "Of course we have to continue to rush to Yumen, and if we have the opportunity in the future, I will come to visit Fujun again!"

"You must come!"

Gao Yanfu took out a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Li Zhen, "In the future, when you go to the Central Plains, if you encounter anything unpleasant, you can come to Luoyang to find me, and show this jade pendant in front of my house." ”

"Thank you, Fujun!"

Li Zhen is not as simple as Jiu Zhi thought, tens of thousands of dollars will be satisfied, this Gao Yanfu and the future Gao Lishi are both powerful people in the palace, and they saved their lives, this favor is just like Gao Yanfu himself said, he is not grateful.

If he doesn't seize this opportunity well, then he is a fool, Li Zhen couldn't help but secretly squeeze the jade pendant.

Gao Yanfu took out a sharp dagger with gems on the scabbard, handed it to Jiu Zhi and said with a smile: "This dagger is worth a lot of money, give it to Jiu Shaolang as a souvenir, can you return that skin bag to me, it is a holy decree and a picture scroll, and it is useless for Shaolang to hold it." ”

Jiuzhi's face suddenly turned as red as a pig's liver, and he remembered that Zhang Xi didn't seem to be in the cave, and he must have seen it when he was looking for the skin.

Jiuzhi took out the skin bag from his arms and returned it to Gao Yanfu embarrassedly, "This and this"

Gao Yanfu laughed, "Jiu Shaolang is a person with a temperament, there is no need to explain, I understand!"

At this time, Zhang Xi patted Li Zhen's shoulder heavily, "If you go to Luoyang, you must come to me!"

"Definitely!" Li Zhen nodded.

Under Gao Yanfu's arrangement, the Tang soldiers were divided into two routes, half of them escorted Li Zhen and the four to Liuyuan, and the other half escorted them to Dunhuang.

Before leaving, Gao Yanfu repeatedly told Li Zhen and others not to mention the matter of tonight's birth to anyone, Li Zhen agreed, and everyone said goodbye

With the escort of Tang soldiers, Li Zhen and his party traveled much faster, and on the morning of the third day, they entered Liuyuan Town.

Liuyuan Town is a small town, actually a street, located between Jinchang County and Yumen in Guazhou, which happens to be the intersection of the two Silk Roads in the north and south.

Although there are less than 100 households in the town, there are hundreds of shops, wine shops, inns, green buildings, warehouses, Hu people's residences, mules and horse shops, selling all kinds of long-distance travel supplies, grain, forage and so on.

Merchants from the south to the north stopped here to rest and make final supplies to decide where they went, or to go south to Dunhuang and take the southern route of the Silk Road, or continue westward and take the northern route of the Silk Road.

Jiu Zhi had been studying the dagger he had just gotten since the day before yesterday, and he had already understood the meaning of what Gao Yanfu meant by the great value.

Not only is it as simple as a few gems, but the handle and handle are made of gold, and the dagger is like clay, making it a rare blade.

This made Jiuzhi surprised and delighted, and his dissatisfaction with Gao Yanfu was also thrown out of the clouds.

It wasn't until he got tired of looking at this dagger full of gems that his interest finally turned to Gao Yanfu, a mysterious figure, who was this person?

"Lao Li, who do you say is that Mr. Gao, and why is he not allowed us to tell us about that?"

In fact, Li Zhen was also thinking repeatedly about why Gao Yanfu was not allowed to say it himself, he probably had already thought that the imperial envoy was intercepted and killed by the Tubo army, and if the news spread, Wang Xiaojie and the officials of Gua and Sha prefectures would be impeached and impeached, it seems that Gao Yanfu is a very sensible person.

He saw that Kang Dazhuang and Xiao Xi were looking at him, and obviously wanted to know the answer.

He smiled at the three of them, "Don't you notice that he has no beard under his jaw and his Adam's apple is gentle, and he has a holy decree and the protection of the palace guards, who do you think he will be?"

"He's a eunuch!" Jiuzhi suddenly realized, "no wonder he speaks a little sissy." ”

Xiao Xi touched his smooth chin a little worriedly, Li Zhen and Jiuzhi are all a little stubble, and Da Zhuang is even more hairy, but he has no shadow, and he doesn't have an Adam's apple, is he also a eunuch.

"Ah Zhen, will I also be a eunuch?" he finally asked worriedly.

Everyone laughed, and even the cavalry who protected them next to them also laughed, Xiao Xiao was so red with laughter, he was sent to the monastery as a monk by his father since he was a child, and he didn't understand these things at all.

Jiu Zhi put his arm around his shoulders and smiled: "Fat brother is here to teach you, if you cut off the words below, you will be a real eunuch." ”

Only then did Xiao Xi come to his senses, he angrily pushed away the wine zhi, gritted his teeth and said, "Dead fatty, I will cut off that thing of yours first!"

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Da Zhuang, is that you?"

When they turned around, they saw a Sogdian merchant wearing a pointed hat standing not far away, and everyone was startled, if it weren't for the wrong voice, they would have thought that the big father Kang Maid had also run to Liuyuan Town.

"Second uncle!"

Da Zhuang shouted excitedly, jumped off the horse and strode away, the two hugged tightly, it turned out to be Kang Dazhuang's second uncle, Li Zhen also remembered that he had seen it last year, it seemed that he and Da Zhuang's father were twin brothers, named Conwood.

When the group arrived in Liuyuan Town, the cavalry team guarding them had basically completed the task, and the team stepped forward and smiled at Li Zhenshi: "This area is safe, remember to take the official road when you go back, and we will go back first to resume our lives." ”

Li Zhen hurriedly returned the salute, "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for escorting you all the way." ”

The cavalry of the Tang army saluted one after another, turned their horses' heads and ran to the northwest, and after a while, dozens of cavalry disappeared.

At this time, Da Zhuang came over and smiled at Li Zhen: "Ah Zhen, do you remember? This is my second uncle, who came to my house last year. ”

Li Zhen hurriedly dismounted, bowed down and saluted, "Second Uncle Kang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"It turned out to be Xiao Lizi, hehe! Did Sisi bully you again?"

Li Zhen listened awkwardly, what a 'little plum', it sounded like Gao Lishi's eldest brother, he hurriedly laughed: "Now that she has grown up and has not bullied me anymore, how can Second Uncle Kang be in Liuyuan?"

"I followed the caravan to Chang'an, and when I was about to return, I would visit my eldest brother and sister-in-law in Dunhuang. ”

Da Zhuang introduced the wine and Xiaoxiao to the second uncle, and everyone exchanged a few words, and Conwood warmly invited them to sit in the Persian Mansion, and Li Zhen saw that it was still early, so he happily followed Conwood into the Persian Mansion.

Because of the differences in language, food and beliefs, most of the merchants from the West lived in the Persian Mansion, and their huge camel caravans could only be accommodated by the Persian Mansion, which covered a very large area.

The people led the mules and horses into the courtyard where Conwood lived, but they saw a Sogdian girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, standing at the gate of the courtyard, wearing a gold-rimmed black dress embroidered with patterns, and her black hair was combed into dozens of small braids, each of which was tied with a head rope inlaid with fine precious stones.

Her eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to those of Concept, but she is not as pretty as Concept, and she is a little shorter and plumper.

But her big eyes were black and white, very smart, and she was looking at everyone curiously, Conwood pointed to Da Zhuang and said a few words to her, she suddenly became excited, and stepped forward to hug Da Zhuang tightly.
