Song Dayan and Guo Heizi walked twenty or thirty miles in the desert in the cold again. Just when they were hungry and thirsty, they suddenly saw a dilapidated smoke pier standing on the sand dune in the distance, which was particularly eye-catching.

Guo Heizi couldn't help but point out: "Big Eyes, the Yandun is Yangguan, haha, we're finally here."

Song Dayan licked his shriveled lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Hurry, I won't get any water for three days, and my throat is almost smoking."

As soon as the two lifted the reins, they instigated the camel to walk towards Yandun. The two camels seemed to be infected by their emotions and actually started jogging. However, just as they were about a mile away from Yandun, two squads of ten people rushed out from the thorns and quickly surrounded them. There was also a cracking sound when the flintlock rifle was pulled up.

Guo Heizi and Song Dayan were shocked and quickly obediently decided on the camel. They didn't want to be shot by their own people in a confused manner.

At this time, the two raccoons who were surrounded by were wearing standard mandarin duck battle jackets, holding standard waist knives, and holding flintlock rifles. Naturally, they were undoubtedly the Ming army, and they should be the Ming army soldiers stationed in Yangguan.

The two rovers rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, surrounded Guo Heizi and Song Dayan. The small flag official in charge held up his gun and shouted sternly: "Where do you come from? If it is a fine work sent by Turpan, it will be dead."

Guo Heizi smiled and said, "Brother, don't be nervous. You'd better look at the gun at the sky and be careful of getting out of fire. It's not a joke." While speaking, he took off the facial scarf that blocked his face, revealing his black charcoal-like face.

When the Ming army rangers heard Guo Heizi's pure Beijing accent, they saw his face with a Ming national outline, and immediately the hostility in their eyes was retracted, but they remained vigilant. The little flag official put away his flintlock rifle and asked suspiciously: "Are you a native of the capital?"

Guo Liang took out his waist card from his arms and threw it over: "It's like a fake bag to change!"

The little flag officer took the waist sign and looked at it, and immediately said in awe: "It turns out to be Guo Qianhu, Jizhou Town, and his subordinates don't know Mount Tai." After that, he turned over and dismounted and saluted, respectfully handed the waist sign back to Guo Heizi with both hands.

Speaking of which, Guo Heizi was originally a hundred households under Jizhou Town. Before joining Huang Dacan on his way to Yarkand, he had already accumulated merit and promoted to the position of thousand households.

Guo Heizi took the card back and put it in his arms, and smiled and said, "It's not your fault. This is your responsibility. The young man did a good job and was highly vigilant. By the way, when I followed Lord Huang to serve as a mission to Yerkang, the Grand Marshal was still the Grand Marshal Jingguo Duke. I heard that the Grand Marshal has replaced him now. I wonder which general is stationed in Yangguan now?"

The small flag officer quickly replied: "Now the commander of the army is General Yu Dayou and Yu, the general of Pingxi. Our Qianhu stationed in Yangguan is Shen Tiebi. I wonder if Guo Qianhu has heard of it?"

Guo Heizi smiled and said, "I haven't heard of it before, but I met him after chatting. Please take us to see Shen Qianhu."

"Okay, please come with me!"

"Wait, have you brought water? I haven't dripped water for three days, and my throat is dry and smoked." Guo Liang pointed to Xiaoqi's waist.

The little flag officer quickly took off the water bag at his waist and handed it over. Guo Heizi took the water bag and drank a few large gulps, then threw it to Song Dayan. The latter lifted the water bag high with a cooked copper stick, raised his head and opened his mouth, and a water line poured directly from the sac into his mouth. He drank all his essence in an instant, without wasting a drop.

The crowd of rattles couldn't help but cheer secretly. This awesome man, who has at least fifty or sixty kilograms of copper stick in his hand, is so light and accurate. Most people don't have such ability.

After Song Dayan finished drinking the water, he shook the copper stick and threw the empty water bag back to the small flag official. The latter took back the water bag, and his expression became more respectful: "Please come with your subordinates, two sirs."

So, Guo and Song followed Xiaoqi to the Ming army's camp. Xiaoqi did not forget to remind him: "I just heard Guo Qianhu call him Duke Jingguo, but I guess I have never known that Duke Jingguo is now Prince Jing."

Song Dayan and Guo Heizi looked at each other in surprise, and the latter blurted out: "The Grand Marshal actually became king? When will it happen?"

Xiaoqi said with admiration: "It was not long after Duke Jingguo returned to Beijing, which was last month. Tsk tsk, our Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 150 years and has never been granted a king of a different surname. Oh, the posthumous title is not counted. I don't know how many people are envied by the Duke of Beijing, who is a living king."

Guo Liang nodded and said, "It is indeed shocking to be named a king of a different surname, but with the contributions made by our general, it is worthy to be named a king of a different surname."

The small flag official smiled and said, "That's right, Duke Jingguo was named king, and we are honored to serve in the army. This also shows that the court has paid more and more attention to martial arts, and those who serve in the army are more motivated, right?"

Guo Heizi laughed and said, "Do you kid want to get a king of a different surname to come to Dangdang?"

Xiaoqi smiled and said, "How can I have such a skill? But now that I have set a precedent for Feng Yi Wang, it will always make us martial artists more hopeful. I think that Marshal Yu may win this honor."

Guo Heizi said disapprovingly: "Yu Dayou is much worse than Prince Beijing."

"It's not enough now, but it's hard to say in the future. A few days ago, General Yu had personally led a large army to break through Hami City and sweeping the entire Turpan is just around the corner. In addition, General Yu's contribution to the recovery of Annan is not as good as Prince Beijing." Xiaoqi said.

"No, it's still far from it. Just talking about the size of the territory is still not as good as the ones that can be expanded. What's more, King Beijing has the achievements of King Beijing to support the country. Moreover, King Beijing's achievements are not just martial arts." Guo Heizi shook his head and curled his lips.

The little flag official smiled and said, "I have forgotten this. A genius like King Beijing who is willing to be civil and military, I believe that one can be produced in hundreds of years, and it is very popular."

Guo Heizi laughed and said, "You kid can do it and talk, but to say that Yu Dayou is indeed powerful, but it is not enough to compare with King Beijing for the time being. Unless he has the ability to sweep the entire Western Regions, he can surpass King Beijing in martial arts."

While speaking, everyone had already returned to the barracks near Xitugou.

It is said that Yangguan was shot by his brother-in-law Xie Sangu. After Yu Dayou took over, he sent a thousand households to garrison here, with a force of 1,200 troops. Yangguan is too desolate. Although there is a water source, there are many people stationed, so the supply of materials will be very troublesome, and the water may not be enough to drink.

The small flag officer reported in. Soon, Shen Tiebi, Qianhu, brought two deputy Qianhu, and quickly greeted each other. After a few words of greetings, Shen Qianhu welcomed Guo and Song into the barracks to entertain each other. They sat down and chatted for a few more words. Shen Qianhu asked curiously: "Guo Qianhu escorted Huang's envoy to Yarkand, why did he return alone at this time? Could it be that something happened?"

Guo Heizi briefly talked about the matter. Chen Tiebi couldn't help but be surprised and hurriedly said, "This matter is not a small matter. You must report it to Marshal Yu immediately."

Guo Liang nodded and said, "This is the reason. I wonder where Marshal Yu is now?"

"Master Yu broke Hami City a few days ago, and I guess he is still in Hami now!" Chen Tiebi replied.

"Without any time, I have to prepare horses, food and water for us, so I will rush to Hami immediately." Guo Liang bowed.

Chen Tiebi smiled and said, "This is easy, but Guo Qianhu is better off going to Dunhuang and visiting the guards there, so as not to lose etiquette."

Guo Liang patted his forehead: "Thank you Chen Qianhu to remind me, I wonder who the Dunhuang guards are? Pei Xingjin, Yu Linsheng, Jing Dachu, or the Shenji Camp?"

Chen Tiebi shook his head and said, "None of them. When Prince Beijing returned to Beijing, he transferred both the Datong Army and the Shenji Camp. General Xie of Jizhou Town and Princess Yisana also returned to Beijing to get married. Now the one guarding Dunhuang is Xianning Bo Qiu Luan!"

"Hi, it's this guy!" Guo Liang cursed in his heart, speechless.

It is said that when Qiu Luan was the general of Jizhou Town, Guo Heizi worked as a hundred households under his command. Later, when Qiu Luan was escorted to military rations, he was besieged by Tatar cavalry. After Guo Heizi collected thousands of taels of silver, he led more than a dozen brothers to break through the siege and asked for help from Gubeikou.

Later, Xie Sanliang led his troops to help and successfully freed Qiu Luan. As a result, Qiu Luan, his teammate, actually left the military rations, Xie Sanliang and others, and fled back to Gubeikou, causing more than 100,000 stones of military rations to fall into the hands of the Tatars. Qiu Luan was then dismissed from his post.

It was also during that battle that Guo Heizi transferred to Xie Sanqiu, and later Xie Sanqiu also replaced Qiu Luan and acted as the general of Jizhou Town.

At this time, Guo Heizi suddenly heard that the Dunhuang guard was Qiu Luan, so he naturally felt that there were 100,000 grass and mud horses whizzing past his head. Are you wrong? It turns out that Yu Dayou is also a blind eye, and actually let Qiu Luan, a pit bull, station in Dunhuang?

In fact, Yu Dayou also knew that Qiu Luan was a teammate of pigs, and arranging him to station in Dunhuang was a helpless move. He was cheated by Wu's father-in-law and had to take Qiu Luan to take office. Afterwards, he was always struggling to arrange Qiu Luan's position.

However, after the last time the construction of a dam in the upper reaches of Guazhou, Yu Dayou discovered that Qiu Luan was not useless, but was even a little timid and afraid of death. As long as he was not sent to the front line, it would be fine.

So, after the war in Guazhou, Yu Dayou transferred Qiu Luan to defend Dunhuang. First, Dunhuang walls were high and the city was thick, and second, Dunhuang had become a big rear, so there was little chance of wars going on, so there should be no problem with Qiu Luan to guard it.

In this way, Qiu Luan became the garrison of Dunhuang City. He patrolled the city head every day, occasionally leaving the city to hunt and other things, and his life was very comfortable.

When Guo Heizi and Song Dayan rode a horse to the city of Dunhuang, our General Qiu Gan went out of the city to hunt and did not return to the city until the evening, and slowly met Guo and Song.
