An inconspicuous carriage stopped in the city of Gaochang.

Taking off the black cloak, the scene of the Western Regions came into view—the flat sand was reckless, and the yellow dust was filled. To the north, in May, the Tien Shan Mountains are covered in snow all day long, and there are no flowers to be seen, only a biting cold.

"Your Highness, get out of the car."

"I don't have a clue, how to find it."

"Your Highness, I think there may be news about Wei Qingyuan in this place, you can go and investigate."

"Go ahead, stay safe."

"Well, I'm leaving. Tang Yun, you stay and protect the safety of His Highness. ”

"Yes." A girl bowed to Guanyin and stood behind him.

"Your name is Tang Yun?"

"Yes."

"Are you Han?"

"Yes."

"Why did the Han people come to the Green Wolf Courtyard?"

"Find something to do."

"Let's go, let's go back to the Falcon Palace." After saying a few words, Guanyin also felt that this person didn't seem to be very easy to communicate, so he stopped talking.

The Uighurs were a vassal state of the Great Liao, and Guanyin brought the customs clearance documents given by the Great Liao, so naturally no one dared to stop them.

"The Uighur King sees Her Royal Highness the Great Liao Princess."

"Uighur king, please."

"The minister received your country's decree the day before yesterday, and has ordered the army to attack the border of Western Xia, forcing it to divide its troops to defend, I don't know why Her Royal Highness the princess came today?"

"The Uighur king doesn't have to be nervous about coming to the palace today, but you also have a merit in attacking the Western Xia, and the palace will report to the emperor truthfully and reward you when you go back."

"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie."

"Get up."

"I don't know what is important about Your Royal Highness the Princess, why did you come in person?"

"Uighur king, you have reigned for nearly twenty years, and I ask you, do you know Wei Qingyuan?"

"But that Wei Qingyuan, a descendant of the Northern Dynasty who is famous for his tricks in the Central Plains?"

"Exactly."

"She traveled all over the world during her lifetime, and she was very interested in the art of these institutions, and he received her personally, but unfortunately she only learned some ornamental fur."

"So, did she leave anything here?"

"Wei Qingyuan has lived on the Tianshan Mountains for a while, and I have asked a few people to help him build a house, and if she leaves something, she may stay there."

"Well, thank you, Uighur King, the palace is leaving."

"Greetings to Your Highness."

Tang Yun, who had been waiting outside the palace, asked Guanyin, "Where are you going?" ”

"Tianshan."

Tang Yun has a cold personality, and Guanyin is also busy with business, so the brief conversation between the two saves a lot of effort.

At the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, the two of them took advantage of the night to touch the mountain.

I don't know how long I walked in the dark, and the two of them only relied on a fire fold to illuminate.

The two were walking in a forest, and Tang Yun suddenly stretched out his hand to block Guanyin.

"What's wrong?" Guanyin glanced at Tang Yun suspiciously, and at the same time observed the surroundings.

"Listen, someone."

Guanyin calmed down, and there seemed to be someone's voice in the distance, as lively as a feast.

"Tang Yun, now there are three watches." Guanyin asked, looking at the lonely moon in the sky.

"Almost."

"How can there be such a lively sound so late at night...... Tang Yun, go. ”

The sound became clearer and clearer, and a little fire was found at the bottom of the mountain.

Tang Yun saw the fire, "It's the common people?" ”

"It's the third watch, and ordinary people's homes won't be on fire."

"Let's go down and see?"

Guanyin nodded, and then walked down the mountain.

In a ravine, a large group of people were drinking, and the sound was coming from them.

"Sure enough, it's bandits." The people under the mountain are bandits, Guanyin guessed it.

"Brethren!" The bandit leader under the mountain spoke, "The target of this descent down the mountain is Yaojia Village, everyone eats and drinks well today, and enters the village tomorrow!" Grab money, grab food, grab women! ”

"Grab money, grab food, grab women! Oh! The bandits shouted in unison.

"This is a pleasure to be a bandit, much better than being an official army, this can't do that, it's not okay, isn't it, brothers!"

"Yes!"

"I've already visited Yaojia Village, so it can be said that it's very rich! Tomorrow, everyone will grab more things, and it will be good to go back! ”

"Let's go, go to Yaojia Village."

"Where is Yaojia Village?"

"The road outside the valley leads straight to the north, and Boundless Village must be in front of it, otherwise these bandits would never have camped here."

"Just the two of us, we can't stop so many bandits." Tang Yun was a little worried.

Guanyin smirked, "It's enough for these rabble, let those peasants deal with it." ”

The next day, when the bandits swaggered to the outskirts of Yaojia Village, they felt a trace of strangeness.

"It's strange how this village is so quiet, as if there is no one." The bandit leader said.

"Yes, it's lunchtime, why isn't there even a little smoke in the village?"

The bandit leader ordered the man who spoke, "You take a few people in first, and report the situation with arrows." ”

The bandits rushed into the village, which was not only extremely quiet, but also empty.

"Hell, how does this look like an empty village?"

"Did you hear that we were coming, and ran ahead of time?"

"Fart, how did these farmers know we were coming!"

"They're there!" A few villagers suddenly ran out of the corner house, and then limped into the village.

"Catch up!"

The bandits rushed straight at them, and what awaited them were peasants with shovels, hoes, and various farm tools.

"Just these people still want to resist? Brothers kill them! ”

The bandits came galloping on horseback, but the villagers were not in a hurry, and sure enough, when the bandits were about to rush to the front, the ground suddenly sank, and the villagers dug it overnight, and the people led by the company fell into it with their horses. Due to the short distance, the people behind did not have time to react, and they fell into the pit one by one. The villagers all stood around the pit, and when they saw the bandits falling in, they immediately picked up their farm tools and smashed them at the bandits, until the bandits in the pit fell down and had no life at all.

"It doesn't sound like they...... No, the brethren went into the village! The bandit leader outside the village heard that something was wrong, and immediately killed the rest of the people, and what was waiting for them were the villagers who were on guard.

"A few muddy legs with a few broken wooden sticks dare to go against us, I'm really impatient, kill me!"

The trap just now definitely didn't work, and the bandits deliberately bypassed the big pit just now, and rushed over again on horseback.

When the bandits approached, the villagers erected four or five bamboo-resisting horses from the ground, and the bandits led by them were shocked, but the horse team was too late to dodge being stabbed, and once again broke up the rushing horse team.

The bandit who fell to the ground was obviously not as arrogant as before, and one person was surrounded and beaten by several villagers, and finally he was knocked to the ground and beaten violently with a shovel and stick.

Only the bandit leader was quite skilled, dodged the villagers' weapons, cut down several with a knife, and was just about to escape, but was stopped by Tang Yun when he retreated.

"Going?" Tang Yun blocked the retreat with a Tang knife, and rushed to the person in front of him with a knife, this bandit leader was also agile, and he was like a child who had never practiced in front of Tang Yun. Tang Yun only picked the tip of the knife, picked his tendons, and snatched his knife.

Tang Yun saw that the fights around him were almost over, and the living ones had surrendered, so he escorted the bandit leader to find Yelu Guanyin.

Yelu Guanyin sat on the chair of the master of a person's house, leisurely and unworried.

"It's back. Most of the bandits were killed, and the rest were disarmed and surrendered, which was the leader. Tang Yun grabbed the person he dragged over in his hand and threw it to the ground, making him kneel on the ground.

"You're a bandit?"

"Yes...... Be. ”

"What I ask, what do you answer, answer a wrong sentence, and immediately make your head different, understand?"

"Understood...... Got it. ”

"When did you become bandits?"

"About ...... Half a year ago. ”

"Where is the cottage?"

"It's in the Tianshan Mountains."

"How many times have you robbed it before?"

"No...... It was our first time going down the mountain......"

"Tang Yun, cut it!"

"Don't, don't!" The bandit's voice trembled with fright, "I was wrong! I'll be honest! ”

"Say!"

"Before...... Grabbed four times. ”

"Have you ever slaughtered the village?"

"This, I ......" The bandit wanted to quibble, but when he saw Guanyin's cold eyes and Tang Yun's sword shining with cold light, he was so frightened that he took it back, "Yes, I killed it once." ”

"Who were you before you became bandits?"

"We ...... We ......"

Guanyin's cold gaze stabbed directly at the bandit in front of him, "Can't tell?" I'll tell you for you. You people are my officers and soldiers of Daliao! ”

"Huh?!" The man was obviously so shocked that he couldn't even speak coherently: "You... Who are you and how would you... How do you know ......?"

"She is the eldest princess of Da Liao, Yelu Guanyin!" After Tang Yun finished talking about Guanyin's identity, the bandits were even more frightened and collapsed directly on the ground.

"Half a year ago, there was a 600-strong army that defected in the process of escorting prisoners, and that was you!"

"It's... It's ...... us."

"Tell me why you defected and came here, and I'll let you live."

"Yes...... Half a year ago, we waited for the order of the military department to escort a group of slaves to the border to build a barracks...... I could only go all the way to the west, and when I reached the Uighur border of the Liao State, I met a man called... Wei Qingkite. ”

Guanyin was a little incredulous: "Half a year ago? Is Wei Qingyuan still alive? ”

"Yes, we saw her a month ago."

"And after that?"

"She used a token to bring us into the Uighur territory and built a cottage on the Tien Shan Mountains, and she ordered us to plunder everywhere, especially grain, ore, and iron tools, and she took all the rest except us for our own use."

"Pulled away? Where did the pull go? ”

"Well, I don't know."

"Huh?" Guanyin glanced at the bandit leader with a fierce look on his face, and he was directly frightened and trembled like chaff.

"I... I really don't know! He was so frightened that his voice trembled.

"Think about the details, maybe that's important to me."

"Oh...... Each time, she came with several large carts and walked all the way east along the Tianshan Mountains. ”

"To the east? Went to Western Xia? ”

"Should... I guess so. ”

"What is she going to do with all this stuff?"

"She didn't say it."

Guanyin got the answer he wanted and smiled secretly.

"Good, thank you." Guanyin drew the sword from its scabbard and pointed it at him.

"You promised me to let me go!" The bandits shouted hoarsely as they moved away from the approaching blades.

"I said it, but I regret it." After that, a sword cut the throat.

"You're ruthless." Tang Yun said, and threw the body out of the hospital.

"This kind of person's gangsterism is difficult to eradicate, and keeping him will only harm the common people, so it is better to kill him with a sword."

"What's next?"

"If this is the place where Wei Qingyuan looted materials, then the remaining three places should still have their own uses. Let's go, go outside and pull another captive and go find the cottage. ”

In the depths of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a cottage with a cliff behind the former snow-capped mountain, which is the bandit's den they built.

Following the guidance of a captive, the two found the residence of all the bandits, and the captive did not escape the sanctions, intending to escape, but was pierced through the heart by Guanyin's flying sword.

"Split up and see what clues there are."

Finally, in a room that resembled an account room, Guanyin found a notebook in the cabinet.

"On May 25, the seventeenth year of unification, one thousand stone of grain was sent to the southwest."

"On June 13, the 17th year of Tonghe, 500 stone grain was sent to the southeast."

"On the 19th day of July in the 17th year of unification, 800 stone of grain was sent to the northeast."

"It seems that this place is the place where Wei Qingyuan sends food." Guanyin put the ledger away.

"Shipped to Suzhou and Dali? How did she get lucky? ”

"Both the Uighurs and the Great Song Dynasty maintained friendly relations, so it would not be difficult to take advantage of this."

"What is Wei Qingyuan going to do when he transports tens of thousands of catties of grain?"

"There must be a large number of people who need food, so she will scatter the food she has stolen."

Guanyin lowered his head again and calculated the time: "We have been in the Uighurs for three days, and if nothing else, Lin Xi is almost in Suzhou." ”

"What about us?"

"Go to Dali. I don't think it's that easy to solve on Jerland's side. ”

Guanyin's fingers swiped over the ledger and finally stopped at the sentence "Transporting a thousand stones of grain to the southwest".
