"How to prove it?"

Zhao Yuan also knew very well in his heart that once he told this matter, Mr. Hu would definitely let him prove it. After a moment of silence, he said: "In one month, Senior Zhuge taught the common people a total of three martial arts, the Internal Kung Fu Evil Lord Jue"

, the body technique Lingyunbu, a set of nameless sword techniques, and..."

He reached out and pulled it out at his waist, saying: "This water-stopping sword! The common people don't know what kind of connection the general has with Senior Zhuge, and they don't know how much the general knows about Senior Zhuge, so they don't know how to prove it!"

This is indeed the problem he is facing now. In order to prevent his martial arts from being guessed in the world, Zhuge Tian made both his sword and body skills original and has never appeared in the world at all. As for his internal strength

The mental method is a secret among secrets, and no one in the world knows about it.

The most important thing is that I don't even know when Zhuge Tian and Hu Zongbing met.

Mr. Hu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wait a moment!"

After that, he walked out of the room, and soon the lights outside turned on.

Zhao Yuan also followed him out and saw Mr. Hu sitting at the desk. He picked up the pen, put it on the rice paper, and started to write a letter. Not long after, he finished writing the letter, folded it and put it in.

After sealing the envelope with fire paint, he left the desk and came over, saying: "You convey this letter to Xia Zizai for me. As for whether you can persuade him to work for the court, that's your ability. Besides, this is a trip.

A pass to the city gate, so that you can have unobstructed access at any time!"

Zhao Yuan took the letter and the pass and asked doubtfully: "Does the general believe the common people?"

Hu Zongbing sighed and said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. In comparison, the safety of the imperial court is the most important. There is no clear evidence that the Brahma Sect is colluding with Tubo, but we must be on guard against it.

If Xia Zizai can really eradicate the Brahma Sect's stronghold outside the pass, at least it will allow me to sleep more peacefully!"

Zhao Yuan put the letter into his arms, raised his hand towards General Hu, and said: "Thank you, General Hu, and I'll say goodbye!"

Mr. Hu smiled and said, "No, you can't get out now."

With that said, he walked to the door, opened it, and said, "Here comes someone!"

…………

Early the next morning, even though it was not a day for trade, with the pass in his hand, Zhao Yuan left Jiayuguan and headed straight for Dunhuang.

There are two completely different scenery inside and outside the pass. Due to the trade relationship, the location near the city wall outside the pass has formed a vaguely small town like inside the pass. In addition, you can also see many small towns with

The guard of the weapon, after all, the outside of the pass is different from the inside. If there is no guard, the goods will be easily robbed, and the robbed goods will be easy to sell. Those merchants will recognize the goods but not the people.

Leaving Jiayuguan and walking towards Dunhuang, the further we walked, the more desolate we became, and the number of people became less and less. Sometimes for a long way, not even a single person could be seen, not even a simple house.

Ever since the Ming Dynasty's army withdrew from Jiayuguan, there has been no peace in this area. The people fled and died, so it was very difficult to survive in this land that was originally lacking in vitality. In this situation

It was even more difficult, so they used up their strength. Those who were brave and not afraid of death joined the bandits, and those who were afraid of death and had the strength fled. The rest were the old, weak, sick and disabled, and they died one by one.

, this land has gradually lost its vitality and appears lifeless. The only thing that brings life is the merchants on the road who are hurrying along under the protection of many bodyguards.

Now the land that is more than five or six hundred miles away from Jiayuguan basically belongs to Xia Zizai's sphere of influence. As long as he pays some money as protection fee, the road will basically be safe.

Nowadays, the business in Jiayuguan is still booming. These continuous caravans have also brought a steady stream of income to Xia Zizai. With this money and his experience in the military camp, Xia Zizai's men and horses were trained by him like

The army is average, not only has strong combat effectiveness, but also has strict discipline.

Because of this, the surrounding bandits who were still lingering did not dare to provoke him. Their soldiers and generals were not enough for Xia Zizai's men.

Compared with those caravans, Zhao Yuan seems a little lonely. As far as traveling, joining a caravan and relying on a caravan is simply safer. However, those caravans that come and go in order to consider their own safety

But outsiders are rarely allowed to join.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan was alone on the first day. If he got even slightly close to the caravans, they would be alert. After doing this several times, Zhao Yuan would avoid the caravans every time he encountered them, so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts.

.

However, on the next day, when Zhao Yuan was planning to avoid a caravan like yesterday, suddenly a man in his thirties rushed out of the caravan and actively invited Zhao Yuan to accompany him.

Zhao Yuan felt a little strange in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he did not refuse, but just walked behind the caravan. The man who invited him also walked with him. After some small talk, Zhao Yuan knew that the man's identity was the captain of the caravan.

, his name is Wang Bin, and as for his identity, he just fabricated it at will.

The caravan has many horses and vehicles, so it cannot go very fast. It can probably cover more than a hundred miles in one day. Therefore, it was originally planned to take three days to reach Dunhuang, but it will take twice as long to reach Dunhuang. If safety is considered

In this case, the time wasted is still worth it.

On the fourth day, more than a hundred miles away from Dunhuang, Zhao Yuan, who was walking forward, suddenly heard the rumble of horse hooves on the ground. Looking for the sound, he saw a yellow cloud heading towards the location of the caravan.

Pounced forward.

This place already belongs to Xia Zizai's sphere of influence. The original bandits and bandits have been eliminated. They were not panicked by the sudden appearance of the caravan, but they did not stand still. All the guards immediately took action to surround all the goods.

Forming a circle, it was like building a simple city wall on the spot instantly, which was very effective in resisting the impact of cavalry.

As the group of people approached, someone suddenly shouted: "These are not King Zizai's men!"

After Xia Zizai subdued the bandits and built a city for the king, he proclaimed himself the king of Zizai, purely to create trouble for the Ming Dynasty court.

His men and horses were like an army, with uniform uniforms and armor, but this group of people came in colorful clothes and had various weapons, such as swords, guns, clubs, etc.

Seeing their menacing appearance, the guards became a little nervous. Xia Zizai's people had rules in this area. As long as they paid the toll, they would never be embarrassed. But the group of people in front of them were not, which made people uncomfortable.

Don't get nervous.

The guards all drew their weapons and hid behind the cargo, carefully peering through the gaps between the cargo to see who was coming in order to avoid their bows and arrows.

There were about a hundred people in this group, and they rushed straight towards the car like a yellow cloud. They quickly stopped more than ten feet away from the car, and then quickly dispersed, covering the entire convoy.

They were surrounded but did not attack immediately.

Soon, a man from the front came over on horseback and said loudly: "Don't worry, we are not here to rob, and we don't want your goods. We just want to find one person. If he is among you, we will pay him honestly."

Come out and you will be safe!"

"Find someone?"

The people in the caravan looked at each other, and soon, the manager of the caravan carefully poked his head out and said loudly: "Heroes, I don't know who you are looking for? Everyone in this caravan is...

I brought it from the Western Regions, no outsiders!"

The person said: "We'll know after checking if there's any. Someone, come in and have a look!"

Two people in this group immediately rode over and approached the convoy.

Everyone in the caravan looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Let them come in."

It would be best if the other party is just looking for someone. As the so-called peace brings wealth, it is best to avoid fighting as much as possible.

With his approval, the convoy quickly opened a passage that was wide enough for one person. After the two dismounted, they walked in. Then they both unfolded the scrolls in their hands and began to compare them one by one.

"Has my whereabouts been exposed?"

Zhao Yuan thought to himself, his hand quietly touching the handle of his knife, and he paid close attention to the movements around him. As the two of them gradually approached him, they could gradually see the person painted on the painting clearly. Take a closer look,

But he found that the person in the painting was Wang Bin next to him, and he lowered his voice and said, "They are looking for you!"

Wang Bin was stunned for a moment and said without changing his expression: "Are you sure?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "OK."

Wang Bin's face darkened and he said: "I didn't expect them to know my whereabouts. I was really careless!"

As he spoke, his hand slowly touched the handle of the knife.

Soon, the person doing the comparison walked up to the two of them. When he looked at the portrait and Wang Bin, his face lit up, he turned his head and opened his mouth to shout.
