Now that the matter had been settled, Prince Geshu informed his subordinates in Jiayuguan to prepare, and transported the grain and medicinal herbs in batches with buckets, and piled them up under the city wall to form a hill. Later, the men in the pass dismantled the carts and lowered them with buckets, and the people under the walls were reassembled into carts. In the end, a total of more than 30 carts of grain were loaded, of which wheat and rice accounted for half each, and two carts of medicinal herbs of "hanging golden lanterns" and "Chaotianzi" were also loaded respectively.

Xian Jingyue was always a little relieved, so he and Li Liu checked this batch of materials one by one, but they didn't find any tricks. According to Prince Geshu, the garrison of Yumen Pass is known as 100,000 to the outside world, but the establishment of the imperial court is only 60,000, and nearly half of them are empty salaries, so today's Yumen Pass is no more than 30,000 garrisons, with this batch of food, it should be able to survive the whole winter, and what happens after the winter has nothing to do with him. As for the four carts of "hanging golden lanterns" and "Chaotianzi", they totaled more than 400 catties, which was enough to cure this plague for all the garrisons at Yumen Pass.

However, the team that came to Jiayuguan this time has experienced the attack of bandits and the infection of the plague, and has suffered heavy casualties so far. The original 200 soldiers died and fled, and even the leading soldiers Master Zhou and General Wang were killed one after another, and there were only about 30 people left at this time, so naturally they could not transport these grains, grasses and medicinal materials back to Yumen Pass. Fortunately, Prince Geshu had planned to go to Yumen Pass in person, so he ordered his men to gather a hundred or so people to help transport it, and he took Ayi, Mr. Mu, Ju Xingshi, and a handful of people with a lot of color to accompany the team.

As for the people who were evacuated from Yumen Pass, only a dozen people survived by luck, and although the plague had been cured, the garrison of Jiayuguan still refused to let them in. Prince Geshu arranged for them to live in a makeshift camp under the city walls, and Prince Geshu's men temporarily assisted them, and only after the ban on Jiayu Pass was lifted, the soldiers defending the city would naturally let them into the pass.

Xian Jingyue naturally had to rush back to Yumen Pass with the team, but he didn't expect to come to ask Gong Baisheng, the commander of Jiayuguan, for help, but in the end, the situation didn't even see Gong Baisheng's face, but it was Prince Geshu, a Turkic Hu man, who stepped forward, and when I think about it, it is quite evocative. Before leaving, Xian Jingyue asked Li Liu to stay in the camp to take care of the people, and after the Jiayu Pass gate was released, he returned to Jinling first, and returned to the pro-army Governor's Mansion for himself, but Li Liu said that he would not stay, and he would follow Xian Jingyue back to Yumen Pass no matter what.

In this regard, Xian Jingyue persuaded her several times, but she insisted: "It's true that I want to go back to Jiangnan, but I can't trust Prince Geshu. Especially that wild girl, who seems to be bent on marrying an adult, who knows what dirty deeds are hidden in his heart? If the adult is ...... by them Phew, if the adults don't fall into their traps, even if they can return to Jinling safely, they will be alone and helpless in the future, and they will eventually be bullied by the people of the pro-military Governor's Mansion. It's better to continue to follow the adults until the matter of Yumen Pass is completely resolved, and then go back together. "Xian Jingyue really argued, and in the end, she had to let her go along.

It is said that everyone rushed back to Yumen Pass all the way, and the journey was quite smooth, and it took only four days before and after the journey of more than 1,000 miles. Although he also encountered a small group of remaining bandits, before Xian Jingyue and the other soldiers could make a move, they had been solved by all the masters of the Semu people under Prince Geshu, and none of them were left. By the evening of the fourth day, the Yumen Pass in the desert was already in sight, and the city wall was even brightly lit, but there were not many lights in the military camps that stretched for more than ten miles on both sides of the official road. Xian Jingyue couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, and he didn't know if anything had happened to Yumen Pass in the more than half a month since he left.

However, after listening intently, he didn't hear the sound of fighting in front of him, and he was about to speed up, but Prince Geshu ordered the whole team to stop on the spot, set up camp a few miles away from the barracks, and leave all the food and medicinal materials behind, and then ask Jingyue and the other soldiers to lead the way, and lead himself, Ayi, and Mr. Mu to meet General Lu Yuanpo. Xian Jingyue knew that this Prince Geshu was going to negotiate terms with General Lu, and seeing that he only brought Ah Yi and Mr. Mu with him, he must not have any trouble, but he also admired his courage, so he asked more than 30 sergeants in the team to lead the way, and led Prince Geshu and his party to Yumen Pass, while he and Li Liu stayed at the end of the formation.

Na Ayi was waiting for an opportunity to get close to Xian Jingyue all the way, but he was not familiar with Chinese, and he couldn't say anything. was seen by Li Liu on the side, and couldn't help but sneer, so angry that Ah Yi jumped like thunder, but for the sake of Xian Jingyue's face, he didn't dare to kill this woman. At this time, seeing that Xian Jingyue and Li Liu were walking alone at the end, where could Ah Yi hold back? From time to time, he turned around and glared at Li Liu fiercely, as if his eyes were about to erupt fire.

And Li Liu's has been with Xian Jingyue for a long time these days, and he has already figured out the temper of this commander, even if he makes a behavior that crosses the line, Xian Jingyue will only scold a few words at most, and then avoid it from afar, and he will not really do anything to himself. Seeing the look of Ayi in front of her, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, so she simply went to grab the hand of Xian Jingyue beside her, and came to walk hand in hand, so angry that Ayi gritted her teeth, if it weren't for Prince Geshu to stop her, she was afraid that she would have already drawn a knife and chopped Li Liu into meat on the spot.

In this situation, how could Xian Jingyue have the heart to pay attention to the jealousy of these two women? In front of him was the street behind the city wall of Yumen Pass, and he immediately stepped forward quickly and walked to the front of the team. I saw that a street that was originally lively and lively was now empty and indescribably desolate, and then I looked at the left and right barracks on both sides of the street, which were basically dark and dreary, with occasional one or two lit bonfires, surrounded by a few sergeants, all of whom were weak and weak, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and who coughed from time to time; when they saw a group of people coming from the street, it was as if they had not seen it, and they did not pay attention to it at all.

Seeing this appearance in the barracks, obviously not seeing the panic when the foreign enemy came to attack, Xian Jingyue first breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately sighed again. Obviously, these sergeants have been infected by the plague, but they have no herbs for the symptoms, and even the food is probably already exhausted, so of course they can only sit and wait for death, isn't it exactly the situation of his group under the city wall of Jiayuguan before? At that moment, he hurriedly ordered the sergeants who accompanied him and told them to go and report to General Lu.

Unexpectedly, the sergeant who accompanied him returned to Yumen Pass again, and when he remembered the illness he had committed before, he was all terrified, and he was afraid that he would be infected with the plague again, so he did not dare to continue walking. Old Mr. Namu immediately sneered and said, "As long as a person has suffered from this 'Belle Mode disease', he will not be infected again for the rest of his life, what is there to be afraid of? Not to mention that even if he is infected again, the old man can cure you once, and he can cure you twice!" The sergeants thought about it well, anyway, now that food and medicinal materials have been delivered, there is no need to worry, and hurriedly went to ask the sergeants in the barracks where General Lu was. A sergeant feebly pointed to the brightly lit Yumen Pass city wall, saying that General Lu was on the city wall at this time.

At that moment, everyone walked the whole street, and went straight to the city wall of Yumen Pass, only to see that the city gate was still closed, but in the open space in front of the city gate, at this time, there were six or seven hundred soldiers gathered here, around which seven or eight fires were lit or lying or sitting, and they were boiling horse meat in a large iron pot to eat, and more than half of them were coughing violently. Xian Jingyue asked them about General Lu's whereabouts, and the surrounding sergeants suddenly looked angry, and some people even said coldly: "General Lu?

Everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned, why did General Lu die? Fortunately, a sergeant next to him coughed and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, General Lu...... General Lu did not die, but the brothers died for him...... Ahem, when he saw that we were all infected with the plague, he took refuge on the city wall with his own men, and left us here to die, and forbade us to step half a step on the wall...... If there is a violator, shoot and kill on the spot. ”
