When Tang Shan came out of the room with Xiang Bei, the people outside the house were a little surprised, and the two who were still tense just now seemed to have become confidants.

The captain of Tangshan specially told Geng Zhong to prepare a docile old horse for Xiang Bei, and then personally took the reins and said that he was going to take a walk with Xiang Bei.

Su Su wanted to keep up, but was stopped by Xiang Bei, "Why don't you go to Tianmo?"

Although he couldn't guess Xiang Bei's intentions, the thought of seeing Tianmo made Su Su secretly unhappy in his heart.

Xiang Bei could only half-crouch on the horseback to relieve the pain in his body, and Tangshan tried to slow down as much as possible, and the figures of the two slowly disappeared into the darkness of the Shule night.

In the northern part of the city, opposite the lieutenant's camp, there are rows of dilapidated huts. Tang Shan pulled Xiang Bei and walked straight to the door of one of the rooms.

"Lao Liao, I'll come to see you. ”

After a while, there was a trembling movement behind the door, thinking that it was because the people inside had made a lot of effort, and the wooden door creaked to the side, "Captain Tang, why do you remember me?"

As soon as the door opened, a sour smell came to the house, even if he had been walking in a carriage with that Tianmo who didn't take a bath for so many days, Xiang Bei was instantly knocked down by the smell in the house, and almost vomited.

Unexpectedly, Captain Tangshan didn't mind at all, he put the torch in his hand into the wall in the room, and helped Xiang Bei down from his horse, "Old Liao, this is a kid from our homeland of Daxia, just like you, he reads stupidly, you teach him?"

"Hehe" The person known as Lao Liao stiffened his originally rickety body, and wanted to accompany a smiling face as a greeting, but he didn't know that his throat seemed to be stuck with hard phlegm, and he coughed dryly in an instant.

With the shaking of his body, Xiang Bei finally saw Lao Liao's terrifying face clearly, or he didn't have a face at all, because there were no facial features on that face, only a few irregular round holes were left in the original eyes and nose.

After coughing for a while, Lao Liao finally relieved himself, "Alas, I think I shouldn't have contradicted Lord Tang back then, and I am also to blame." ”

Torches beeped on the wall, and Lao Liao took Xiang Bei back to the year when he first came to Shule City, and he was originally a supervisor sent to Shule by Great Xia.

In fact, this prison guard is just for example.

If it weren't for the accusation that his boss was taking airspace salaries, Lao Liao would not have been demoted to Shule City. Shule City hadn't sent any overseers for more than twenty years, and the Great Xia Empire, hundreds of miles away, didn't seem to remember that it still had such an enclave as Shule. Except for the symbolic annual rental of a caravan to bring rations to 13 Bactrian border soldiers to Shule, the city of Shule was like an ownerless wasteland.

However, Lao Liao is a stubborn temper, even if he is sent to be the supervisor of Shule, he has to fulfill the responsibility of supervising the army, and personally escorted several truckloads of military rations.

Tangshan almost suspected that Lao Liao was a liar with other intentions, because this was the first time that the grain brought from his homeland was not moldy, and there was even wine and meat.

The scarf seal of the soldier confirmed Lao Liao's identity. Tang Shan was moved and didn't know what to say, and wanted to entertain this ethical prison army, but he was rejected by Lao Liao.

"These military rations are related to the safety of the empire's borders, and I hope that Lord Tang will cherish them more. After confirming that Lao Liao was not joking, Tang Shan secretly scolded in his heart, it was really an elm pimple.

Today it is said that Tangshan's armaments are lax, which will damage the prestige of the Great Xia Kingdom, and tomorrow it will be said that Tangshan is not doing his job properly, and he is idle with his subordinates all day long. In the end, the fuse for the two to completely turn their faces was that Liao Jianjun found out that Tangshan had colluded with the bandits in the desert, and in a fit of anger, Liao Jianjun was ready to report to the imperial court and bring down Tangshan.

There are only twelve people under Tang Shan, and he is only thirteen people, so this lieutenant is basically a false position. I thought to myself, even if you, Liao Jianjun, wrote my black material, how could you send it to the imperial court. Even if it is sent to the imperial court, how can the imperial court send a large army for you to ask for an explanation for the sake of a mere Shule.

And to kill your old Liao, you don't need my brothers at all.

After the army of a ranger country plundered the Northern Liang, in order to save some footsteps, he planned to take the road directly from Shule, Tangshan was well-informed and took more than 100 people in Shule City to flee for his life, but was stopped by Lao Liao Dangjie.

"You are the dignified Shule garrison of Great Xia, I am the Shule Supervisor of Great Xia, behind us is the supreme heavenly power of the Great Xia Kingdom, and under our feet is the sacred land of the Great Xia Kingdom. How can you become a deserter when you see an enemy?"

Tangshan was anxious to flee, and he was angry and didn't reason with Lao Liao, so he took everyone to a violent jump, this Lao Liao was really unambiguous, and he was stunned to carry a Pu knife alone, saying that he wanted the invaders to realize that this was the land of Daxia.

As a result, the rangers saw that there was only one lone man in the entire empty city of Shule, and the scholar of the crepe claimed to represent the imperial power, and he could use this fool to amuse and relieve his boredom during the boring march.

So Lao Liao was led by the rangers behind the horse's butt and ran, and finally before entering the desert, he was impatient with Lao Liao's mean tongue and insults, so he simply threw Lao Liao and others with knives into a fire.

Lao Liao's scolding finally stopped in the flames......

In the end, it was Sha Lifei who gave Tangshan a face, and sent someone to follow the traces left by the rangers to dig out the half-burnt old Liao from the ashes with Mars.

Lao Liao had a big life, and he came back to life with a burned deformed body, and of course, he was able to recover slowly thanks to Tangshan's care.

Since then, Lao Liao has never mentioned in front of Tangshan any more ways of being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom. Except for stuffing some food into his mouth, his mouth, which had been burned off his lips, basically didn't open anymore.

After listening to Lao Liao's story, Xiang Bei looked at his shrunken and deformed stump that had been burned, in fact, he didn't have any special feelings, when he was a killer, he didn't kill less, but he wouldn't use fire to torture and kill opponents.

"Thankfully, the Ranger wasn't short of food at the time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Lao Liao will not have so much left. Tang San said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Lao Liao also wanted to follow the music, and a row of mutilated and yellowed teeth were exposed in his mouth, which was already unclosed.

"To persevere in your persistence, first of all, you have to find a way to live. Tang San looked at Xiang Bei's pale face and said.

"Hmm. Xiang Bei nodded in agreement.

In the end, Tangshan put Lao Liao back into a pile of broken cotton wool. He took Xiang Bei to the Yizhuang of Shule.

The righteous village of Shule is called Zhongyitang. There are several coffins that look to be quite old.

Tang Shan pointed to a coffin that looked very ancient, and the patent leather on it had been rolled up and cracked, and told Xiang Bei,

"Lying here is Shule's first garrison, Captain Yang Ce. ”

From the story of Tangshan, Xiang Bei's eyes gradually appeared in front of Shule's previous guards.

Emperor Wu of Great Xia has countless fierce generals who can fight well, among which the Qianjun Hou Huoshan is the most brave, in the eighth year of Xia Wu, the Qianjun Hou 30,000 broke 100,000, seized the Shule City from the hands of the Northern Liang, and established the Shule Town Government Division, and Yang Ce, the pioneer of the Thousand Army Marquis, served as the garrison of the Town Government Division.

Subsequently, Yang Ce took Shule as his base, attacked the guerrillas in the north, and was good at shooting light cavalry, and marched west to the three armies of the Northern Liang Horse, opening up territory for the Great Xia Empire for another 300 miles. It's a pity that Yang Ce was too brave and determined to go straight to the city of Yecheng in Northern Liang, but he didn't know that the lone army went deep, and was finally ambushed by Beiliang.

In the twentieth year of Xia Wu, the general Wei Zheng led 100,000 iron armor in Great Xia again, and traveled 700 miles to defeat the forces of Northern Liang and Ranger Kingdom, and reset the Shule Town Government Division.

After the army left, the deputy general Ma Su was left to garrison Shule. Ma Su, like Lao Liao, is a person who admits death, and requires his subordinates to be self-denying and dedicated, although it is to strictly enforce military discipline, but he is too harsh on his subordinates, and finally his subordinates mutinied. Ma Su did not give in, and suppressed-for-tat, and as a result, the army was defeated and died. Because at that time, Beiliang was fighting for his life with Xiqiang, and there was no time to look east for the time being, Shule became a deserted city under the ravages of the rebels and became a lair of bandits......

There are five coffins enshrined in the Loyal and Righteous Ancestral Hall, and Tang Shan told their stories to Xiang Bei one by one, and finally, Tang Shan pointed to a coffin on the edge that looked ninety percent new, "This is what I prepared for myself." ”

In the fifteenth year of Xia Guang, the captain of Tangshan was ordered to lead twelve dead soldiers and a piece of appointment from the imperial court to recover Shule. But who knows that he has to face the situation of no help, no food, and no return date.

Shuler's previous guards did not have the opportunity to leave Shule until they died, as if they were cursed.

But they would rather not be buried in the ground, but also look forward to returning home. I want to wait until Great Xia regains its former glory, and when the land of Shule City and Great Xia are connected again, their coffins can smoothly return to their roots and go home for burial.

Listening to the story of Tangshan, Xiang Bei felt a sense of tragedy, especially the previous guards of Shule, all of whom were hot-blooded men who stood up to the sky, but the end was more tragic than the other, and they also lost Shule City.

Although Tangshan was a child, he was able to save his life and also preserved this territory for the Great Xia Empire. This had to make Xiang Bei a little admired.

"It's remarkable that you saved Shule with only thirteen rides. ”

"It's not a big deal, I just want to stay alive first. ”

"Just to live?"

"No, to live is to protect Shule. But it is precisely because of the protection of Shule that if I go to mobilize the camel team in my name, it will just be true, and there are not many people who want to swallow Shule. ”

"What's in the caravan?"

"There is an artifact related to the luck of Great Xia. ”

"What artifact?"

"I don't know, the order I received was just to find a way to send it back to Great Xia. ”

"Lao Liao didn't have to be like that? You were unfair to him. ”

Xiang Bei suddenly mentioned Lao Liao, which made Tang San feel shocked, but smart people have a smart way of speaking, and Tang San does not deny it, it is still the old saying, I have to live first.

Although Xiang Bei also pays attention to loyalty, he is not as rigid as Lao Liao. He could see that as long as Tangshan had a heart at that time, he would definitely be able to save Lao Liao.

The "deaf man" who was sent by Sha Lifei to inquire about the truth and reality, after taking over Tangshan, rushed back to Sha Lifei's camp through the secret passage overnight, he didn't want Sha Lifei to suspect him.

But when he returned to the camp, he was dumbfounded, because the group of bandits who were alive and kicking before he left were now gone, and there were only a few broken limbs scattered on the ground, and a patch of blood that had not yet dried up.

The "deaf" turned to run, but felt the sand dunes under his feet rapidly rising upward......
