Chapter Forty-Four: Xiliang Barracks

"certainly."

The young man with a long beard who spoke nonsense spoke in a strange tone.

"I was originally a little envoy of the dear Roman Empire. I came to the noble Dayao to do business and preach the gospel under the order of our holy Roman Pope. I didn't expect that I got lost like this and was caught by the Xiliang people."

At first, he proudly pointed to the gold brooch on his chest that belonged to the Holy Roman Empire and represented an unknown honor. But as he spoke, his eyes, which were as blue as the sky, gradually revealed as much sadness as the sea water.

"Oh, my distinguished lady, why did you come out of here? I see that you are well-dressed. Now I take back my initial offensive remarks. You don't look like someone who was captured by them to do coolies," he said while looking around

No one was lying on the ground, showing off their gentlemanly hands, "Let us guess, you are not the angel sent by Jehovah to save me, are you?"

The cross-like thing hanging on his side shone in the air.

He emphasized the three words "Jehovah" as if to express his supreme respect for him, but because of this, the pronunciation of these three words became even weirder.

Jehovah? It sounds like something like coconut milk peanut cake, it should be delicious - but, the missionary, is it the leader of the pope they believe in?

Angel? A messenger from heaven - is it something like a fairy?

Gu Yisheng, who had just emerged from the dog hole, was still lying on the ground in an extremely uncomfortable posture and hiding behind a low wall.

She roughly guessed what "Jehovah" was, and compared it to their Dayao myths and legends, and guessed what "angel" was. She pretended to understand what he meant very well and said: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

But what are you doing now?"

The Roman put his index finger to his lips, his blue eyes were as nervous as the rising tide of the sea, and he said: "You must not let it out, I am going to run out."

Gu Yisheng nodded, but thought in her heart: "Since it is related to Xiliang, it must be Xue Pinggui who caused the trouble and enslaved the people of Yao to build weapons and weapons for himself, and it was still in the land of Yao. Isn't this right?

Conspiracy? This foreigner seems to know something now. If we can bring him back to prove it, it will definitely have an unexpected effect."

Gu Yisheng's planning skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes are secretly making small calculations.

When the foreigner saw that she was not moving, he said, "I know that you Dayao people are very friendly to foreigners. You will definitely not report me, right?"

Gu Yisheng nodded, but secretly touched the golden cross with her little hand.

Seeing her nod, the foreigner happily prepared to "crawl" away.

However--

"oh, mio ​​dio (European Daqin: Oh, my God!)"

He touched the side of his waist and found that the cross he had always treasured the most was missing. Undoubtedly, his heart was shattered.

Gu Yisheng had an injury on her leg and obviously couldn't walk by herself, so it was a good idea to keep this foreigner with her.

This foreigner was very loyal to his religious beliefs, which is why Gu Yisheng took away his cross.

The direction he was about to "climb" just now was completely different from the direction of the dog hole that Gu Yisheng drilled out - what does this mean?

He knew other ways to escape.

"What should I do? Miss, have you seen my cross? Our Lord suffered, please forgive me."

The foreigner knelt on his chest and made the sign of the cross on his forehead.

Gu Yisheng felt a little moved by this man's piety, but she could not forget the situation she was in, so she continued with her plan.

She shook her head in confusion: "Cross? Are you all wearing this? I didn't pay attention. How about we go together, with more people and more strength, I can help you find it."

The foreigner originally planned to leave alone, but seeing that the "Miss Your Excellency" seemed to be seriously injured and pitiful, and since he wanted to find a cross, he agreed even though it was difficult.

"Okay. Now, crawl with me."

The foreigner flashed his blue eyes and ordered.

"I'll observe the left side, and you'll observe the right side."

They talked quietly.

"Also, this gesture." The foreigner made a gesture of crossing his index finger and thumb. "This is someone in front of you. Stop. This gesture." He also gestured with his index finger and thumb making a circle. "It means there is a lot of distance ahead."

"Safe, there is one last one." He only extended one thumb, "Up means a cross has been found, downward means there is no cross. Do you remember it, Miss?"

Gu Yisheng's memory ability was quite strong and she nodded hurriedly.

In order to prevent being left behind by this foreigner, Gu Yisheng had to put down the secretly taken cross near the exit, in a safe place where he had passed by, and also pay attention to whether he was taking her to a place.

A place to survive.

It's not that she thinks too much, after all, this person doesn't know the details, so just don't hurt her.

The two men crawled out of the area covered by the low wall, and while the supervisor in front and the patrolling Xiliang defenders were not paying attention, they ran into the shadow of a thatched hut.

The Xiliang garrison wore red battle armor, making it easy to identify them.

Just like before, Dai Zhan often wore the same color.

Hot and red.

But now, they have changed their owner - named Xue Pinggui.

The foreigner crawled in front, and Gu Yisheng followed.

Just when he was about to emerge from the shadow behind the thatched house, the foreigner made a sign of crossed index fingers and thumbs.

Someone!

Stop it!

Gu Yisheng carefully hid herself, feeling a dull pain in her injured leg.

It turns out that they are just a few patrolling soldiers. If they encounter some big people walking around, they will be in trouble.

Not long after, the crisis was over. Gu Yisheng looked at the foreigner's circular gesture with his index finger and thumb, and continued to crawl forward.

In front of him was a workshop for forging weapons. Gu Yisheng took a rough look at the gap between the thatched house and the workshop.

The village is about the westernmost part of the entire suburbs of Beijing, and the village trusteeship office is located north of the village and faces south. She crawled through this dog hole along the underground road without knowing anything, but after crawling over, she observed

In the direction of the sun, this place was slightly more west. They were still walking west, and along the way they could see thatched houses and weapon forging workshops.

Opposite the thatched house is a tent, I don't know what is inside.

Opposite the workshop is a row of warehouse-like things, probably where forged weapons are stored.

Next, Gu Yisheng followed him and continued to climb - this time he turned around and walked towards the back. From another gap, he spied on the east side of the place where various workers who were beaten and bruised were coming in and out one after another.

, this is probably the fuse furnace and cooling pool she saw at the beginning.

There is an empty place ahead.
