In the early morning of the next day, as soon as God shed the first ray of light on the land of Qinzhou, the traders who were well rested hurriedly got up, took out their animals from their sheds, and walked in twos and threes outside the gate of Huiyuan Inn.
God damn Captain Li, like God damn the world, actually made everyone wake up very early in order to rush on the road. Although they had taken a hot bath last night, if they were tired, they would have to take a break.
Everyone was still wandering in their sleep when they were woken up by the horn. They were rubbing their sleepy eyes and packing their luggage. How could they be in a good mood? The travel vendors cursed and greeted Captain Li's relatives within three generations, completely forgetting that they were here.
Yesterday they hailed him as a hero.
"Brother Scar, your face is glowing red. Which girl did you have fun with last night?" Wu Daniu threw the package filled with Shandong coarse cloth onto the mule, tightened the hemp rope, and smiled mischievously.
"Fuck you, you damn boy, you actually learned how to make fun of your Brother Scar." Chen Scar was obviously in a good mood. He slapped his lips and lightly pushed Wu Daniu. "Don't tell me, this girl from Qinzhou is just born with
He's so handsome. All of them have juicy skin, just like cooked chicken. It makes people want to go up and take a bite. The most important thing is that this meat is so cheap. A night of fun only costs fifty coppers.
!”
Wu Daniu spread his hands and said: "Somehow, the girls from the border county are very tasty. The further you go west and the further north you go, the more delicious the girls are!"
"Fuck you!" Chen Scaru laughed and cursed: "If you really want to say that, the Turks and Uighurs are still in the west, but they are in the north. How about you go to the Mobei grassland and have sex with the girl there?
Husband and wife? (Note 1)”
Wu Daniu was not annoyed, he rubbed his head and chuckled: "If you really have this opportunity, why not do it? Women are born to be fucked by men. I, Wu Daniu, have no other abilities. I just have enough strength to deal with Turkic girls.
Down."
"Aren't you afraid that the warriors from other tribes will stab you in the butt with a machete!" Chen Scar said with a harsh word, then he got on his horse and waved his whip.
"Hehe, hehe. I help them multiply and sow seeds. Will they repay the favor after learning about it?"
"Are you loyal to the Turks?" Chen Scaran turned his head and rolled his eyes at Wu Daniu, spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
Turks believe in force and respect whoever is stronger. In their eyes, benevolence, justice and morality are fucking bullshit. Whoever has a strong fist is the boss. This is a nation that believes in wolves, and this is a nation that only respects the strong.
Last year, when he was doing business with the Turks in the grassland, those losers only used ten pieces of rawhide in exchange for three bricks of tea. If he went to the north to exchange with the servants (Note 2), he could get at least 30 pieces of tea bricks.
Rawhide! (Note 3) Although Chen Scaru was arrogant, he did not dare to challenge the Turks, so he had to break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach. When a scholar encountered soldiers, he could not explain why. This businessman encountered
The wolf is so sad and angry!
"You two, stop chatting and catch up quickly!" Guan Yuyuan waved his riding crop and shouted at the two of them.
"Hey, hey. Come right now!" Wu Daniu responded tightly, his smile full of flattery.
The starting point was naturally in front of the camp in the north of the city. Although Ni Xin asked Li Kuo to wait in front of the Xinke Escort Bureau, no one took the joke seriously.
Although it was early in the morning at this time, there were already many officers from the state government offices in the camp in the north of the city. Even Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu, Mr. Junfang’s private staff, appeared in front of the camp and couldn’t help but rush to Shen Ce.
Military Academy Lieutenant Li Kuo nodded.
"My envoy praised General Li as a young man. I didn't believe it at first. But today, I really felt that I regretted meeting him so late." Mr. Yu stroked his beard lightly and praised him repeatedly.
Li Kuo was so complimented that his face was already red to the root of his neck. He hurriedly raised his hands and thanked him: "Mr. Yu, you are so complimentary. Your Majesty appreciates you and promotes Li. He can only serve the Tang Dynasty with all his life. As for young and promising people, it is absolutely unacceptable."
Dare to do it."
"General Li is being humble, come here, bring the wine!" Mr. Yu waved to the officer behind him, and someone immediately followed him holding a jar of old wine.
"My envoy often said that he would rather be a centurion than a scholar. He often envied the generals' unrestrained life of guarding the country's borders and beating wild barbarians with their horses. However, he was favored by the emperor and had to give up his personal life for the sake of the people.
Ideal. However, the envoy specially asked me to present this wine to the general!" Mr. Yu's eyes flashed and he said clearly.
Someone removed the sealing mud, poured out a jar of old wine, and poured it into a large blue and white bowl.
"I made this bowl of wine for the Tang Dynasty!" Mr. Yu held the wine bowl in both hands and handed it to Li Kuo.
Li Kuo felt proud after being praised by Mr. Yu. He took the porcelain bowl and drank it down his neck. A lot of wine flowed down his neck, but no one thought that the captain's drinking appearance was indecent.
"Come on, General Li!" Mr. Yu said with a smile, holding his hands: "Those horse thieves, please don't worry, General Li. My envoy will definitely interrogate you severely and give an explanation to General Li and everyone!"
"In this way, I will be able to do my job, Sir." Li Kuo smiled heartily and spoke with great pride.
"Send off General Li!" Mr. Yu waved his hand, and the gongs and drums sounded instantly, making the scene very lively.
"Thank you, see you later!" Li Kuo hugged Mr. Yu, got on his horse, and drove away with his whip. He now sincerely admired the governor. Although the people of the Tang Dynasty favored martial arts, the scholars had a feeling for martial artists from the inside out.
Exclusion. How many ministers, princes, and princes of the Manchu Dynasty admire the generals from the bottom of their hearts?
But Governor Fang was able to treat him with such courtesy, and he died for his confidant. Although he, Li Kuo, could not work hard for Governor Fang, he was still willing to arrive in Hexi as soon as possible, and with the hope of Governor Fang, he could defeat Kuang Hu and open up the territory for the Tang Dynasty.
Expanding soil!
"Brother Kuo'er, which line should we take?" Zhang Yanji asked, urging his horse to catch up halfway.
"I want to follow the original route. If we take the southern route, it will take a long detour and may delay the trip. Secondly, we are not familiar with each other, and who can guarantee that we will not encounter danger. I went to Xinke Escort Bureau to hire two
An experienced escort, there will be no problem." Li Kuo, who was born in Li Kuo, looked at the sky in the distance and said slowly.
"Just those two bodyguards? I don't think that's reliable!" Zhang Yanji glanced in the direction of the two bodyguards and curled his lips disdainfully. One of the two bodyguards was fat, one thin, one black and one white.
It's really a combination of black and white! The fat man in black has a shiny face and wears a dirty leather jacket. He giggles when he sees people and makes people feel chills. Although the thin man has beautiful features and delicate skin, he has a bad temper.
It's so weird. He never takes the initiative to communicate with others. When others ask him something, he always looks like a dead person and refuses to answer. He has a big face and is just as annoying as Fatty Zhou!
"Let's set off quickly, don't think about useless things." Li Kuo shook his head and took the lead in whipping his horse and whipping away.
"Brother Kuo'er, wait for me!" Zhang Yanji stuck out his tongue and followed.
...
After leaving Shanggui City, the caravan headed west straight to Liangzhou.
At the suggestion of his bodyguard You Long, Li Kuo changed his route. Due to the banditry in the north, Li Kuo gave up the idea of passing through Weizhou. Instead, he passed through Minzhou, Chuanlongma Mountain, Tongxue Mountain, and Yuelai Guzhe.
And to the west.(Note 4)
It has been three or four days since everyone entered Minzhou. The climate in the valley is cold, and many vendors have put on thick leather coats. Although these things smell fishy, they are extremely cold-resistant. Everyone has come out to live a miserable life, haha, some
You are content with just wearing them, how can you care about so many things?
"I asked Brother Guan, why did we leave the Weizhou Plain alone and come to a place where birds don't lay eggs?" Chen Scaru pursed his lips and complained silently.
"Didn't I tell you that there is a banditry in the north. For the sake of safety, General Li followed the advice of Escort You and took the route to Minzhou." Guan Yuyuan replied impatiently. Many people have asked this question these days.
He asked this question. He always repeated this answer over and over again, and even his best temper was worn out.
"Bandit trouble, bandit trouble. In all my years of selling goods, I have never heard that bandits can be encountered on the plains! I have been walking in these broken mountains for many days, and I can't even see a single person. The animals are all foaming from exhaustion.
What if I give up my choice?" Chen Scaruan was not convinced and muttered in a low voice.
"General Li has an order, station in the valley in front! General Li has an order, station in the valley in front!" The messenger galloped towards this side on horseback, repeating the instructions of his captain from time to time.
"Finally we can take a fucking rest." Chen Scaram looked at the sun rising to noon and cursed secretly.
Note 1: Due to the sparse population of the grassland peoples, some small ethnic groups still retain the habit of having sex with each other. That is, their clan leaders will tacitly allow traveling merchants to have sex with women of the tribe. But often the merchants will return to the Central Plains after completing the goods. In this way,
They can only be regarded as a romantic couple.
Note 2: Pugu: one of the Tiele tribes of the nomadic people in the northwest in ancient times. In the 21st year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the Pugu Department was used to set up the Jinwei Dudu Mansion, under the jurisdiction of Yanran Duhufu. Pugu was the surname. "Old Book of Tang·Beidi"
"Biography of Tiele": "Tiele is a different species of Xiongnu."
Note 3: Leather is divided into raw leather and cooked leather. Cooked leather is obtained by removing the hair on the leather and sterilizing it.
Note 4: Don’t get entangled in these areas, just go through them in one stroke. If you want to compare, you can refer to the "Historical Atlas of China" published by China Map Publishing House, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Five Dynasties Volumes, 61-62 Figures.
