The Hexi Corridor starts from Wusheling in the east, reaches the ancient Yumen Pass in the west, and passes through the Wusheling Corridor, which is the long Hexi Corridor, the most glorious section of the ancient Silk Road. Out of the Wusheling Mountains went straight to Ganzhou (Zhangye), the Ming Dynasty was the seat of Shaanxi Xingdu Division and Gansu Town.

There are five or six hundred miles from Liangzhou to Ganzhou, and the only Shiyang River is the snowmelt water from the glacier that has accumulated snow for thousands of years, turning into streams, and the streams converge into a river that finally disappears into the desert. It is the source of those snowmelt water that keeps Liangzhou green and vibrant.

Ou Hanbing and the three of them brought enough food to eat and drink along the Shiyang River to the west, the three horses ran very fast, there were not many pedestrians on the official road, the wasteland and the oasis in front of them, the Hexi Corridor has been the main road to communicate the Western Regions since ancient times, and the famous Silk Road passed through here. The Danxia landform of Ganzhou (Zhangye) dazzles them, with a radius of 100 square meters of mountainous and hilly areas, some have peculiar shapes, colorful colors, and some are majestic and colorful. Bai Qinglian was full of interest, the horse ran fast, and after a while, he slowed down again, shouting that he was tired.

Bai Qingying smiled and said, "My sister is too naughty, I can't do anything about her." ”

Ou Hanbing said: "Since she is tired, let's rest for a while." ”

Bai Qingying shook her head: "No, she's not tired, she's more energetic than anyone else." Besides, we must rush to Ganzhou today, otherwise it is very dangerous to sleep in the barren mountains and mountains, there are many large and small mountain bandits here, and even some of them are both robbers and herdsmen, you can't tell whether they are good people or bad people, a few people from a dozen to dozens of people, seeing that you are weak and take the opportunity to attack, kill people and goods, and even the officers and soldiers have no choice but to them. ”

Ou Hanbing nodded: "I didn't expect the border pass to be so messy." ”

"There is a certain truth in this saying that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, you don't know, some officers and soldiers are worse than bandits, soldiers are bandits, bandits are soldiers, and they can't be prevented. Bai Qingying said.

Between words. In front of them there was a group of men and horses, with a dozen carriages and dozens of people dressed as herdsmen, and in front and behind were men in military uniforms riding tall horses with weapons on their bodies. Bai Qingying said: "They are caravans of horses, and their traces are dense with the Hexi Corridor, and some even do business abroad. Wait, I don't think they are ordinary caravans, as if they are soldiers armed to escort some important supplies. ”

Ou Hanbing also became nervous, they were already very close to the caravan, and several people dressed as soldiers turned their heads and ran over to stop them. The leader was a tall man with a big face and a meaty face, looked at them with a pair of eyes with bad intentions, and asked, "Who are you and where are you going?"

Ou Hanbing is a woman dressed as a man, so she naturally has to speak first: "Master Jun, we are people from the rivers and lakes who went to Tianshan to participate in the martial arts conference, and we will not disturb us if we go half of the road towards the sky." ”

Dahan glared at him and said, "You will also go to the martial arts conference?" Look at your delicate appearance." It's hard to say whether you can handle the sword, I think you are spies, and you came here to find out the news, right?"

Bai Qingying said with a smile: "This is a deserted and uninhabited place, where rabbits don't poop." Inquire about the news, saying that we can't hold the sword, you may not be our opponent. ”

The big man also laughed: "The yellow-haired girl doesn't know the depth, I am Wang Huan, the centurion of the garrison in Ganzhou." It's called the 'gut-piercing knife', and I'm afraid of you. Honestly dismount and surrender, and be my Wang Heng's woman. How about I promise you'll have no food and clothing from now on?"

Bai Qingying shook his head and replied: "There are so many uninteresting people who always want to beat their aunt and grandmother's ideas, and they don't look at what they look like, Qinglian, go up and teach him a lesson." ”

Bai Qinglian was already so angry that her face was flushed, and she picked up the "Butterfly Double Knife" and rushed over, the "Piercing Knife" Wang Heng didn't care at all, he seemed to have to raise his knife to greet him as a joke, and the two horses kicked by mistake, and there was a metal symphony, and the piercing sound shook the eardrums of the people on the left and right faintly painful. Wang Heng shook a few times and almost didn't fall off his horse. He was surprised, where did the teenage girl get such great strength, the original pride was completely gone, and he had to take it seriously, raise his knife and prepare to fight again.

Bai Qinglian grinned and said, "Stupid man, now I know how powerful your aunt and grandmother are, pay attention, my aunt and grandmother want the chicken feathers on your helmet." ”

Wang Heng's face was also flushed with anger, where was the chicken feather on his helmet, it was the tail feather of the blue peacock in the Western Regions, which was very precious, and rushed over with a loud shout, raising his knife and cutting it down hard. Bai Qinglian disappeared on horseback, Wang Heng was wondering, chopping it, what about people? I didn't see the corpse falling, hesitating, Bai Qinglian suddenly turned over from the side of the war horse, and the steel knife in his hand was stunned∫

"Piercing Intestine Knife" Wang Heng's frightened soul flew away, if this knife went down a little further, his head would fly.

Bai Qianglian didn't continue to attack, shook her head and said, "It's boring, don't fight, it's not an opponent." ”

Wang Heng was completely convinced, and asked in surprise: "Who are you? ”

Bai Qingying said: "You just have to remember the 'female butcher'." ”

Wang Heng immediately jumped off the horse and clasped his fists with both hands and said: "It turned out to be the sisters of the Bai family, Wang Heng has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, he has offended, please forgive Miss." ”

Ou Hanbing looked at it and wondered, the reputation of the "female butcher" in the rivers and lakes was so loud that even the Ming officers and soldiers were impressed, it was really unseemly.

Bai Qingying smiled slightly and said, "Where is General Wang going?"

"We went to Ganzhou to deliver military supplies. ”

Bai Qingying nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that we are all the way, and you can save a lot of trouble, I don't know if the general can accommodate us." ”

Wang Heng hurriedly replied, "I can't ask for it, Miss Bai, please." ”

Along the way, Bai Qingying and Wang Heng chatted very speculatively, Wang Heng told them that it was not safe to go out of Ganzhou, where the mountains and roads were dangerous, deserted and uninhabited, and there were many black shops along the way, specializing in those murderous and oversold goods. The road from Ganzhou to Suzhou (Jiuquan) was recently controlled by a gang of horse bandits, headed by Dewey, who was called 'Feicha Taibao' Dewey, who had hundreds of men under his command and occupied the mountain. The largest inn on the way is called the 'Three Dragons Inn', alluding to the three raptors under his command, all of whom have the courage of ten thousand people. “

Bai Qingying nodded and said: "Are you referring to the 'Barbarian Dragon' Du Cheng, the 'Red Dragon' Du Wu and the 'Silver Dragon' Du Gang, the martial arts are really good, how are they compared to you?"

Wang Heng said with palpitations: "Can't be compared, can't be compared, I still have the arrow wound left by the 'Silver Dragon' Du Gang on my body, the archer, a hundred steps through Yang, to be honest, I am not their opponent." ”

"How is Luo Gang, the 'Wuwei General' in Ganzhou?"

"I can only fight a draw, Miss Bai is going to participate in the Tianshan Martial Arts Conference, I heard that the 'Flying Fork Taibao' Dewey set up a card on the road, I thought about it, left the money to buy the road, wanted to fight, come up. Unreasonable. ”

Bai Qingying asked: "There are so many heroes and heroes in the martial arts, Dewey is the oldest, is he not afraid of capsizing in the gutter?"

Wang Heng said: "Otherwise, Dewey is a local after all, and he is familiar with all the mountain roads here. The martial arts people didn't want to meet him in general, so they spent some money to buy peace, and Dewey didn't dare to make too many mistakes, and the two sides have not had a big fight so far. ”

Bai Qingying asked again: "Are your officials and soldiers at their toss, it is your duty to suppress bandits, I heard that Liu Jing, the great eunuch of the imperial court, is coming, and he is also going to participate in the martial arts conference, what if he is kidnapped on the way?"

Wang Heng looked left and right and whispered: "The reason why Dewey dares to be so rampant is not that there are people in the court, they have collusion with Jinyiwei, no one can say clearly about the personal relationship between Lord Liu and Dewey, the officers and soldiers can only turn a blind eye and do so much idle things, as long as Dewey does not embarrass the officers and soldiers." ”

"It's really a family of officials and bandits. It was the merchants and the common people who were unlucky. ”

Wang Heng just laughed.

Following the horse gang all the way, he entered Ganzhou City in the evening, and broke up with Wang Heng and them, Bai Qingying said to Ou Er Hanbing: "Go, I'll take you to a place, you just call me my cousin, don't care about anything else, I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food, and you will have the cost of eating and drinking in Suzhou." ”

Ou Hanbing didn't ask much, this Bai Qingying is always unexpected, and she is very good at doing things, so she is a good helper. It's also good to himself, Ou Hanbing is a hundred at ease.

Bai Qingying and the others came to an official mansion, which read "General Wuwei's Mansion", there were soldiers standing guard at the door, the lights were bright, and when they saw Bai Qingying's soldiers coming up to stop them, Bai Qingying's eyes glared and said: "What, it's changed again, go in and sue sù, saying that General Wuwei's goddaughter is here." ”

The soldiers didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went in to report, and after a while, a person came out, only to see that he was burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very majestic, and when he saw Bai Qingying, Bai Qinglian opened his mouth and laughed: "Haha, what kind of wind blew my daughter here, do you remember my father, who is that young man, and his face is very raw." ”

Bai Qingying said: "He is my cousin Qingfeng, this time he is going to Tianshan to participate in the martial arts conference, and he has come to his godfather to fight hard, we are now penniless, and we are about to beg on the street." ”

The big man laughed again: "You can beg along the street, who believes, little girl, and want to ask for money from me, don't you, as soon as you come, I will break the fortune, or I can't do it." ”

Bai Qingying said to Ou Er Hanbing: "Cousin, this is my godfather, Wuwei General Luo Gang, a descendant of Luo Cheng, don't listen to him cry poor, there is silver." We're here to eat today. ”

Ou Hanbing couldn't help laughing, it seemed that they were too familiar with each other, playing fun, if there was no one around, they kept walking in, and a middle-aged beautiful woman came to meet her, wearing gold and silver, with an extraordinary bearing, it was Luo Gang's wife, called Zhang Han, and when she saw Bai Qingying, she smiled and said: "Qingying Qinglian, you haven't been here for a while, so forget about your godmother."
