Chapter 1, Wedges
The fourth year of Chang'an (704 AD)
Broken Leaf City
The foreign general walked past the center of Suiye City and saw a group of soldiers and civilians pushing a huge red monument into a deep pit that had just been dug. The monument was carved from a whole piece of locally unique red granite. The forehead of the monument was engraved with a unique double wolf pattern. The lines were rough and simple, but very charming. The backs of the two wolves overlapped together, without any ferocity. They all bowed their heads and lowered their eyes, and were as gentle as dogs.
Outside the city, he was surrounded by the iron cavalry of the Tukhashi. He led the reinforcements and only defeated the enemy. The generals guarding the city had decided to abandon the city and break through. The inscription on the giant monument was the imperial decree of the Emperor of Tang, so they could not fall into the enemy's hands. The monument was buried last time when the fall of Shuye City, and now they were about to be buried again. Everyone was familiar with it.
This person was middle-aged, with his hair and beard still curled up and thick, but he was still gray and white, and his eyes were as blue as autumn water. When a group of people in ragged beggars saw him coming, they rushed up and knelt down to salute. The leader said, "I don't know which general lifted my siege of broken leaves."
The man quickly stepped forward and helped him, "I am the grandson of Yisi, the son of Beluth, and the king of Persians-Narcie."
The man bowed again, "It turns out that it is the King of Ni Nirvana, and the villain is disrespectful."
It turned out that this person was the iron cavalry of the Persian king Ni Nishi. He was the last emperor of Persia. He claimed that Narshiye was a Persian pronunciation. The Tang people were not good at this sound of tongue-twist, so they called "Ni Nishi". When Persia fell, his grandfather, the last Persian king Yisi, died. His father, Beilus, traveled east to Chang'an to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty. However, the "Tian Khan" was old and had no ambitions and refused to send troops to restore Persia. He just granted a title to Beilus. Beilus' ambition to recover was difficult to reach, and he died soon after. After his father's death, Ni Nishi still thought about his ambition to restore the country. It was rumored that more than 20 years ago, the Ni Nishi master went deep into Tocharia to rebuild the Persian royal court, summoned many scattered Persian warriors and the Hu people of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and gradually gathered an army of nearly 10,000 people.
Although Ni Ni Niika established himself as the King of Persia, his subordinates were only tens of thousands of people. There was no city or pool in the vassal of the Tang Dynasty. Most of them no one took him as the "King of Persia" seriously. But everyone was grateful for his gratitude for rescuing and bowed to him. Ni Ni Niika hurriedly reached out to support him and said, "You are suffering, Tuqishi is just retreating temporarily. Get ready to go back to the Anxi Protectorate of Kuzha."
The man was wearing a hood to cover his face. He didn't know whether it was Hu or Han. He was probably too excited. He lay on the ground and didn't help him up. He squatted down and wanted to support him again. But he saw a flash of cold light. A short dagger was exposed under the man's tattered robe. The man was shocked and wanted to get up and his right arm was grabbed by the man. He couldn't break free for a while. The man slapped a dagger. Fortunately, the man was wearing fine fish scale armor, and the dagger could not be pierced through. A spark was drawn on the armor piece and deflected out.
Seeing this, Persian guards were shocked and drew their swords to come forward to help. However, the beggars had already quietly stood in place. At this moment, they took out daggers and stabbed several people to death. Although there were many guards, they could not help them for a while. Ni Ni Ni was also a general who had been alive and died. Although they were still panicked, they rolled away and broke free. They wanted to draw their swords and defend themselves. Unexpectedly, the man was very skilled in short kung fu, and he stabbed his body up against his body. Ni Ni Ni Ni was unable to draw his sword for a while. If it weren't for the strong armor on his body, he would have been in danger. The people in the Western Regions around him were used to conspiracy and assassination, so they actually avoided watching from afar, and no one came to help.
At this moment, several convoys of horses passed by, looking like a caravan, but at this moment, all the goods were abandoned, and people were sitting on the frame, and old and young seemed to be a family. Several young and strong men were riding horses and guarding the carriage with weapons. Seeing this, a middle-aged Han man galloped out his horse and pulled out his sword and slashed the beggar.
The beggar is good at his skills. He dodged his sword and stabbed the horse's neck with a dagger. The horse's blood squirted wildly and fell to death immediately. The middle-aged Han man jumped up, trembling his wrist in the air, dancing a sword flower, three cold lights, and took the beggar's eyes and chest. Although the beggar's weapon was short, he took action very quickly. Three dings and dings accurately swung the three sharp moves of the air. The middle-aged Han man's leaping force was old and fell down. The beggar was about to thrust the dagger and stab his lower abdomen, but suddenly heard that the wind was not good behind him. It turned out that the Ni Nirvana master had this time and space.
Finally, he pulled out the scimitar. He used the knife very quickly and slashed the beggar's left shoulder. The sword force was strong. Although the beggar tried his best to dodge and was not cut into two halves by one slash, half of the shoulder was cut off by one slash. The beggar was extremely brave and rushed towards the Ni Ni Ni Ni Nii, wanting to die with Ni Nii Nii. However, a sword tip suddenly pierced from his chest. It turned out that the middle-aged Han man fell to the ground with his feet and stabbed his sword through his chest. The beggar twisted all over and rushed forward. The Ni Ni Niii scimitar cut off his head with a round, and then he fell to the ground and stopped moving.
At this time, the Persian escort also brought down other assassins and came up to surround the middle-aged Han people. The Ni Nirvana master hurriedly stopped the escort and said, "Don't be rude, this friend just saved me."
At this time, the guard picked up the assassin's head. The Ni Nirvana Master looked carefully at the man with black hair and black eyes, but he had a beard with a beard with a beard with a hair and a cheek, which seemed to be a Han person.
The middle-aged Han man stepped forward and crossed his hands and said, "It's a big food in black." The Ni Ni Ni nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Tuqi Shi had an affair with the Great Cannibal. The Great Cannibal had a grudge against my Persia to destroy the country. If it weren't for the old guest today, the Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni would almost die from the hands of the enemy. I wonder what the old guest called him?"
The Ni Nirvana Master saw that the man was wearing a white robe, a soap-colored half-sleeved shirt, and a soft cloth head. He looked like a businessman, so he called him an old guest.
But the man said, "Li Ke in Qinzhou is originally the personal guard of Wang Fangyi Gong..."
Master Ni Nie knew that Wang Fangyi had inspected the Anxi Protectorate, and the Thunder Ye City was built by Wang Fangyi, and said without limit: "Fifteen years ago, the prince died on the road to Liupeng Yazhou..."
The man interjected: "The villain has also heard of it. The villain should have returned with Wang Gongdong, but the prince entrusted the villain to a critical matter. The villain searched for twenty years and finally got a glimpse three years ago."
Master Ni Nirvana knew "that thing" and said, "So you found it?"
The man nodded.
Ni Nie Master asked again: "How do you know that what you found is the right one?"
The man took out a jade plaque from his arms. The jade plaque had excellent texture. It should be a flawless jade produced from Khotan, but its workmanship was even more exquisite, and it was obviously a craftsman who had only Chang'an craftsmen. The Ni Nier master approached and looked at the seal carving on the jade plaque. He was shocked and said, "This is a big deal. If Li Lang trusts Narshiye, he will follow me to return to the Central Plains first and slowly draw it..."
While the two were talking, a big car slowly drove past them. The cloth tent on the car lifted up a corner, revealing the face of a three or four-year-old child, and said to Li Ke: "Yeah, are you going to ask the Shierlang for the teacher?"
Li Ke smiled and said, "Yes, Shi Erlang is smart, so Aye naturally wants to go to the Central Plains to ask the best gentleman to teach Shi Erlang to study."
The child happily leaned on the carriage and sang a song:
The rain is hard to turn off when the light is blown, and the wind is brighter in color;
If it flies up to the sky, it is a star by the moon.
Ni Nie Master and Li Ke walked together, and a group of carriages and horses followed them to the east. At this moment, the day had fallen westward, and a golden piece of yellow was scattered on the earth. The Chu River in the distance was sparkling and dazzling. Ni Nie Master seemed to have seen the scene twenty-three years ago again. However, at that time, the stone tablet was erected and the Sailye City was just built. He walked west with ambitions and was determined to restore his homeland. At this moment, the monument was falling, and Sailye City was about to break, and he was about to return to Chang'an east, and his lifelong ambition had been shattered.
