Chapter 10 Xiliang's dilemma

(PS: Today's second shift, there are two more !!)

There are many remnants of the previous dynasty in Xishu, and most of the people's hearts are towards the former dynasty.

Therefore, Xishu has long had antipathy.

Everyone knows about it.

Now that Yuheng and the Holy Emperor have returned one after another, and Xishu has died again, the remnants of the previous dynasty in Xishu may not be able to sit still now.

Of course, Su Changan didn't care about these.

He cared about the Qingyu Lady.

If he is not mistaken, Fan Ruyue's mother-in-law is Mrs. Qingyu, the widow of Fan Huangling, the former god general.

Su Changan once thought that at her old age, she might have passed away, but now it was suddenly rumored that she had become a star, which was also indescribable for Fan Ruyue's blessings and misfortunes.

But now that Fan Ruyue should have followed Gu Xianjun and them to the Northland, she should have no worries about her life for a while. The rest of the matter is to wait until he has completely healed his injuries and relieved himself of the Divine Blood Plague.

Su Changan thought so, and lost interest in the rest of the things that the rangers were talking about, and after settling the account with Xiao Er, he returned to the house with Qingluan.

Although Qingluan felt sorry for Su Changan and wanted him to go to bed and sleep with her, Su Changan insisted on refusing and just sat cross-legged on the side.

Qingluan was helpless, although she had doubts in her heart, she had never been willing to brush off Su Changan's intentions, so she just did it.

Nothing was said all night.

When they woke up on the second day, Su Changan and Qingluan went to the medical center that they had inquired about before, and found a well-known local doctor to diagnose Su Changan's injuries.

The result was not optimistic, the white-bearded doctor shook his head for a long time, and finally only held back one sentence: "Terminally ill, not a medicine can be treated." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qingluan, who had always been so angry that he had always spoken little, frowned, and drew his sword to cut off the old doctor.

Fortunately, Su Chang'an quickly stopped him.

Otherwise, this old man would probably have blood splattered on the spot.

Su Changan didn't really care about this, he knew his injury, although it was serious, but it never reached that point, but this town was already sparsely populated, and it was naturally difficult for ordinary doctors to treat him, and he didn't have much hope before he came.

It disturbed the old man and made Su Changan a little uneasy, and he hurriedly took out one or two lines of silver to make amends, and then left with Qingluan.

"That old man is talking nonsense, why don't you let me kill him with a sword?" Qingluan looked a little angry, and his face was cold all the way, and he didn't hold back such a sentence until a long time later.

Although she wore a veil, Su Changan looked down on her demeanor, but she could imagine a thing or two from the brilliance flashing in her exposed eyes.

Qingluan, who has been completely lost, got rid of the influence of "Taishang Forgetfulness", and gradually became a little more humane, although he is not familiar with the world, sometimes he is even a little paranoid about Su Changan. But Su Changan had to admit that such a Qingluan was very cute.

He smiled at her and said, "Don't be angry, after all, this place is in a remote area, if an ordinary doctor can heal the injury, I'm afraid it won't be a big problem for me to use some spiritual power myself." Why go to the trouble of finding a doctor?"

"Let's set off to Xijiang City, I heard that it is a big city, although it is not as good as Chang'an, but it is also one of the most prosperous in the Central Plains, and you will definitely find good doctors there. ”

Qingluan's face softened slightly when he heard this, nodded and said.

Su Changan knew that she was worried about her injury, and it was true that there was no good doctor in this Linyang Town, so it was unnecessary to stay. So I didn't say anything anymore, just found a vendor, bought some dry food, and found a must-have hat to wear on my head - after all, I heard what those rangers said yesterday, my reputation in this Great Wei is stinky, and it is better to keep a low profile in order to avoid twists and turns along the way.

After doing this, the two left Linyang Town and continued to the west.

Xijiang City is the only place for Chang'an to go to Xiliang. Because over the years, the troops of Great Wei have been frequently transferred to Xiliang. Some Jianghu rangers who want to join the army, or the traders and dart teams who travel between Xiliang and Chang'an, and even the army that goes to Xiliang will choose to go to Xiliang from here.

And Xijiang City has also prospered because of this.

It can be regarded as the most prosperous city in the western district of Chang'an.

The distance between Xijiang and Linyang Town is not close, Su Changan roughly calculated, there is a distance of about 3,000 miles, with the footsteps of the two, and to avoid some official roads with many soldiers patrolling, it will take more than 20 days to go to Xijiang.

But fortunately, Su Changan had expected this, and specially bought some spices in Linyang Town, and it was good to have towns and villages to borrow for a night along the way, if not, it would be like looking for some game in that Taoist temple, with some condiments, but it tasted remarkable, and it no longer tasted like before.

By the time they arrived at Xijiang City, it was February 13.

The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the spring light is just right.

But obviously, Su Changan didn't have the heart to appreciate such a spring light, and the refugees in front of him who were densely packed like a long dragon were not in the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scenery.

When he and Qingluan came to Xijiang City, they had already seen such a scene.

A large number of ragged refugees dragged their families and mouths, squeezing Xijiang City to the point of being impassable.

In order to prevent these refugees from mutiny, Xijiang City is full of archers at the head of the city as if facing a great enemy, and the city gate is also heavily guarded, if you want to enter this city, you must show your identity, either you are a relative who can take refuge in this Xijiang City, or you have to have a skill, and it is almost impossible for ordinary farmers to enter the city.

Su Changan also vaguely knew something from the mouths of these refugees.

These refugees all poured in from outside Xiling Pass, and I heard that now the barbarian royal court has gathered nine major clans and gathered nearly 300,000 troops to march eastward. Wuwang Fu 3,000 Yuanyun Pass gave up, retreated to Xiling and did not come out, Beitongxuan, Hongyu, Langhu, Cai Yun four gods put their 180,000 horses in their hands and the barbarian army in Yongning Pass outside the fierce battle, some time ago it was a loss of soldiers, Langhu Cai Yun died in the chaos, Beitongxuan was seriously injured. The 180,000-strong army now suffered heavy casualties, and less than 80,000 remained.

However, the barbarian army is becoming more and more courageous, and every day it calls for battle outside Yongning Pass, and I am afraid that it will be attacked in a few days.

The people of Xiliang are naturally panicked, and a large number of refugees leave their hometowns every day and pour into the customs from outside the customs.

But the floating 3,000 only managed to release the people, and never resettled these refugees, allowing them to wander in the Central Plains.

Now from this corner of Xijiang City, we can see what the situation in Xiliang is now.

Su Changan was very sympathetic to these homeless people in his heart, but now that he was too busy to take care of himself, how could he have the spare energy to manage them.

He just wanted to heal his internal injuries quickly, and then find him before Bei Tongxuan died, and relieve him of the divine blood on his body, so that he could have the strength to do something else, otherwise everything would be empty words.

Thinking like this, one of the officers who was patrolling on the side suddenly wrinkled, pointed at Qingluan beside him and shouted loudly.

"Alas, you! come out!"

Su Changan was startled, and Qingluan was also stunned, but after hesitating for a moment, he walked out according to what he said.

The soldier in armor frowned, glanced at Su Changan very unhappily, and said, "I called her out, why are you following?"

Su Changan suddenly had a smile on his face, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Master Jun, this is a lowly member of my family, I have been sick since I was a child, and I can't speak, if there is anything I want to ask, I will wait for her to answer." ”

This is the countermeasure that Su Changan had discussed earlier on the way here, after all, Qingluan is not good at words, and what will happen if he can't keep it.

"Oh?" the officer looked the two of them up and down suspiciously, his eyes showed lewdness, and he pointed at Qingluan with the long knife in his hand and said, "You, take off the veil!"

He has seen a lot of refugees from Xiliang in this way, and although this woman is covering her appearance, but from her beautiful eyes, the man probably knows that this woman is definitely born well, and covering her appearance has a bit of a meaning of covering her ears and stealing the bell.

If it is really as he expected, when he sees the woman's appearance and thinks that it is in his heart, he will take it back to have a lewd pleasure, and then use this as a bargaining chip to put the couple into the city, and the other party will not have too many objections.

He's done a lot of this kind of thing these days.

After all, in troubled times, human life is like grass, not to mention chastity, how many people will really care.

Thinking like this, the lustful light in his eyes was even worse.

Although Qingluan's cultivation fell, after all, she was once a star death, and the man's demeanor fell in her eyes, so she naturally couldn't hide her, and she didn't like it, so she was going to raise her sword and kill him.

But fortunately, Su Changan's eyes were quick, and she pressed her sword-carrying hand without a trace, met the man again, and said with a smile: "My family is ugly, and wearing a veil is afraid of staining the eyes of the military master. ”

As he spoke, Su Chang'an also took a few steps forward, and without a trace, he stuffed a purse of silver into the officer's hand.

The officer's face changed slightly, and he weighed it lightly in his hand, and felt that this weight was not small.

He looked Su Changan and the others up and down again, and his expression seemed to be relaxed.

Just when Su Changan secretly thought that the other party would let them go, the man's face changed and he shouted.

"Come on, arrest these two barbarian spies for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the refugees who had been surrounding him hurriedly retreated, and a beat of the heavily armored soldiers came like a tide, surrounding the two of them.

This is Su Changan's little experience, and he learned it from Liu Dahong when he came to Chang'an.

It's just that he has no shape and no god.

There is a way that wealth is not exposed.

If he had offered only one or two taels of silver, the officer might have let them go, but he had given them all the dozens of silver trucks that had been scavenged from the deserters.

The officer must have thought of him as a fat sheep, so how could he let him go?

Su Changan also figured out the joints at this time, but unfortunately it was too late.

If he is arrested by these officers, if the other party is just asking for money, but if his identity is found out, or even if Qingluan is harmed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Su Changan didn't dare to bet on this, so his eyebrows sank, and he glanced at Qingluan, and the two of them had a good heart, so they held the sword at this moment and looked at these soldiers with a frosty face.
