As a pass city, Jiayuguan is not large in size. Apart from the guards, there are no ordinary people living there, and ordinary people do not need to live here, because Suzhou City is more than ten miles east of Jiayuguan, which is safer, larger and more comfortable.

Let’s talk about the two soldiers reluctantly escorted Li Daren to a well, untied the rope on his body, and threw it to him a bucket with a rope, allowing him to fetch water to clean it on his own.

Li Daren looked around secretly and found that the kitchen was not far away. It was time to cook dinner, and a group of leaders came in and out. It was probably the kitchen of the Jiayuguan garrison. He couldn't help but turn his eyes and feel secretly happy.

"Why are you standing there? Wash it clean quickly, the general is still waiting to ask you." The two soldiers urged impatiently when they saw Li Daren staying motionless.

Li Daren smiled and said, "Two soldiers, this well water is so cold. I am old and I am afraid I can't stand it."

One of the soldiers tilted his lips and said, "You can't stand it and care about me. Can you still ask the two brothers to boil water for you? Hurry up, don't be too slow and take off your clothes and pour a few buckets of them."

"Yes, yes!" Li Daren accompanied him to take a bucket of water from the well, and suddenly smiled and said, "June, my pants are wet. Even if I wash my body, it will still be stinking if I put on my pants again. I am afraid that you will get drunk. Can you please help me get a set of clothes from the bag hanging on the camel?"

"Ma, you old guy, have so many things to do." A soldier left to pick up his clothes cursingly.

Seeing the soldier walking away, Li Daren reached into his arms. Seeing this, the remaining soldier immediately pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "What do you want to do? Extend his hand and don't mess with the moth!"

"Don't... don't be nervous!" Li Daren slowly pulled his hand out of his arms and opened it, and saw that there was a white jade as crystal as milk on his palm.

The military soldier had some knowledge and blurted out: "White Jade with Ugly Fat."

That's right, Li Daren is holding a piece of mutton fat white jade in his hand at this moment. It looks so good that it is of high quality and is of great value.

Li Daren raised his thumbs up and said, "Mr. Jun is very good at picking up his eyes. This is indeed a good piece of mutton fat. Although it is seed material, it is worth more than ten taels of silver. If you find a good craftsman to polish it carefully, the value can even be more than ten times more. This was purchased by me by Yutian at a high price."

The soldiers' eyes lit up and thought to themselves, "As long as there are all businessmen, they are traitors. The traitors hide things very tightly. They didn't find the jade material just now, so they glared at each other, "What do you mean? Want to bribe me?"

Li Daren smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. I am really too old. I am weak in my body. I have felt a little cold recently. It's cold and the ground is cold. If I pour a few more buckets of cold water, I'm afraid I'll give my life. Can I get a bucket of hot water for me? This piece of jade will be given to Junjie as a reward. The Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Junjie will do it well, and I am very grateful."

The soldier measured for a moment, obviously thinking that it was not a big deal to ask for a bucket of hot water, so he quickly took the piece of mutton fat jade and put it in his arms, and said indifferently: "Then I will use it as a good thing today. Take the bucket with me to the kitchen to get the hot water, so don't think about doing anything."

Li Daren didn't dare to do so, so he picked up the bucket and followed the soldiers into the nearby kitchen.

At this time, dinner was being cooked in the kitchen, and the fog was steaming, and more than a dozen heads were busy.

"Brother Fat, do you have ready-made hot water?" The military soldier asked the troupe with a smile.

The head of the troupe was indeed fat, with a shiny face, and his belly was bulging like a big watermelon. He probably lost a lot of public and private weight. He ignored it and pointed at a big pot and said, "Bo!"

Li Daren looked at it and saw that the pot was indeed filled with a pot of hot steam, but there was a layer of disgusting oil floating on it, which was probably the wastewater used to slug the meat.

The soldiers didn't care about this, as long as there was hot water, they urged Li Daren to get a bucket and leave, so as not to hinder the food and clothing masters responsible for cooking.

Li Daren quickly took a scoop of water from a large water tank nearby, then scooped a bucket of hot water from the pot. While putting the scoop back into the scoop, he unconsciously poured a packet of medicine powder into the scoop and stirred it.

After leaving the kitchen, Li Daren took a shower with the "oil water" he had been fed by the well, and then calmly changed into clothes.

At this time, it was completely dark. Two soldiers took Li Daren into the guerrilla general's mansion. As soon as they entered the door, Li Daren saw his friend being taken out. The two passed by and gave each other a secret wink.

Li Daren entered the lobby of the General's Mansion and saw two large iron pots set up in the hall with tinder oil on it. At this moment, the fire was raging, illuminating the entire lobby as bright as daytime.

Guerrilla General Wang Bocheng sat in the middle of the lobby with a big golden sword, with his waist knife placed horizontally on the desk, and there was a row of personal soldiers standing on both sides, which seemed to be a court trial.

"Caomin kowtows to the general." Li Daren knelt in front of the hall with trembling fear, and bowed to his head.

Wang Guerrilla glanced at Li Daren majesticly and asked, "Who is in the hall?"

"The grass-roots are called Mi Ren, a vendor in Suzhou City. He is engaged in grain business. He joined the caravan several months ago and went to Yarkand with the Huang envoy. The journey was also smooth. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Shache, a coup occurred in the local area..."

Li Daren had already thought of a set of rhetoric, so he answered the same answers as usual if Wang Bocheng asked questions. Moreover, he and the mate had already made a confession in advance, so he was not worried that the two of them would have different rhetoric.

Sure enough, Wang Guerrilla interrogated Li Daren for a long time, but did not find any flaws. He only thought that Mi Ren was indeed very lucky, so he escaped and successfully avoided Dunhuang occupied by the Yarkand people.

Of course, Wang Guerrilla was also very cautious and did not release Li Daren immediately. Instead, he asked someone to take him to take care of him for the time being, and sent someone back to Suzhou City to confirm the matter.

Besides, Li Daren and his friend were taken down and temporarily locked in a woodshed room. The guy stretched his ears and pressed them against the door of the woodshed room and listened for a while, confirming that there was nothing abnormal. Then he couldn't wait to whisper: "Master, have you succeeded?"
