Chapter 2 Wu Gou (Part 1) The few minor injuries he suffered during the day's battle are a bit painful, but they are not a big trouble. Xuzi has suffered wounds like this many times and has long been accustomed to it. What he is worried about now is Yang.
On the military side, if the guess is correct, while everyone was fighting with the Wagang Army, another group of bandits must have appeared in the direction of Yangwu, and the leader of the group was most likely Xu Maogong, with whom he lived and died.
good friend
"More than ten thousand brothers and General Qin are here, Master Zhang should be fine!" Seeing his general worried, Zhou Xing smiled and leaned forward to comfort him.
"Xu Maogong's ability to use troops is far superior to that of Li Mi!" Li Xu sighed and replied quietly.
Without Xu Maogong, the Wagang Army's combat effectiveness and adaptability were much worse than before. Xuzi didn't know whether he should be grateful for this, or sad for this. God was merciful and didn't let him and Xu Maogong draw their swords and face-to-face duel.
Life or death, but God arranged for Xu Maogong to deal with Zhang Xutuo. For Xu Zi, no matter who has an accident on either side, it will be the greatest tragedy.
"So he won't be like Li Mi, who always likes to take uncertain risks!" Zhou Xing's views have always been unique, and this time he almost hit the mark. Li Mi's commanding style is like gambling. A big victory or a big defeat depends only on
Xu Maogong is very cautious in using his troops. When he is not sure of killing his opponent with one blow, he will never show his teeth easily.
"You are right, Xu Maogong has a long history of using troops to be steady!" Xuzi breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyebrows wrinkled slightly again, "You have observed Li Mi and Xu Maogong very carefully. I have heard of them before.
Are they?"
"I have been following you for so long, General, and I must make some progress!" Zhou Xing was stunned, and then answered with a simple and honest smile.
"You talkative! You stand on the city wall for me all night, and I'll go down and stretch myself!" Li Xu smiled and punched his own soldiers, cursed, turned around and walked towards the horse path beside the city wall.
The horse path has been in disrepair for a long time, and dead grass is constantly growing out from between the remaining bricks, trying to trip someone up. The soldiers ran forward and lit lanterns to prevent Li Xu from falling while walking on it, but Xu Zi's steps were faster than them.
It was much more stable than I imagined. I bypassed every pit almost by intuition and walked straight down.
Xu Zi walked easily on the road back to the temporary residence. Zhou Xing's reminder was extremely correct. With Xu Maogong's caution, if the purpose was only to block reinforcements, he would not easily fight Zhang Xutuo in a canal side battle.
After the news has passed, the Wagang Army will quickly withdraw and Zhang Xutuo will not easily pursue them. The coaches of both sides have a common characteristic, that is, they both take the lives of their brothers very seriously.
What made him feel even more relaxed was the feeling that came back to him the moment his fist hit Zhou Xing's body. He punched hard muscles. Only people who were on full alert would have a similar reaction: "Tell everyone's whereabouts to Wagang."
This person is not Erya!" Xuzi grinned and let the firelight illuminate his young face.
I can finally have a good sleep tonight. The nightmare of being betrayed but unconscious in my memory has gone far. He walked through the silent streets with a smile, walked through the puddles with rippling starlight, and came to his temporary residence.
In front of him, he found that Luo Shixin and others were all awake, smiling and waiting for him under the lamp.
"Is there any military information?" Li Xulu was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
"A man came to see you in the middle of the night and said he was your old friend!" Luo Shixin stepped forward to greet him, gloating over his misfortune. He had fought a tough battle and hurriedly walked in the rain for more than half an hour. This man actually didn't feel tired at all.
When the word 'friend' was mentioned, his eyes immediately lit up, as if he had just dreamed that he was happy to have a wife.
"Friend?" Li Xu's brows jumped up alertly. He didn't know who would risk his life to come to him in this chaotic moment, and he wasn't sure who he had such a deep friendship with.
"Maybe he's a liar, or he's just a trickster!" Xuzi guessed almost instinctively that Li Mi had been beaten, but he still didn't give up and wanted to use the theory of destiny to fool himself.
, the fight is going to be chaotic, how can any friend risk his life to find him!"
"I don't dare to hit him. This person has a very big background!" Luo Shixin said in annoyance while ordering people to get Li Xu drinks and Xiaoye, "I asked people to arrange him to Xikuoyuan. There are four brothers."
It’s a hard work watching him, brothers. I’m not even this tired from fighting!” As if he wanted to watch a joke, he didn’t say goodbye after the introduction. He just sat across from Li Xu with a smile, waiting for the next step of the master here.
action
"Have someone bring him in, and let me see where this friend is from!" Li Xusu couldn't do anything about Luo Shixin's shamelessness. After drinking half a bowl of wine, he ordered
"General Li has an order, please hurry up and invite the distinguished guests!" Upon hearing this, Luo Shixin immediately walked to the door and shouted loudly. A series of chaotic responses sounded outside, mixed with intermittent laughter. Before Xu Zi could sip the wine from the bowl,
Clean, the sound came again, and then there was the sound of a series of footsteps with wet shoes. Then, the door curtain was opened high by the guards, and a smell of sweat and copper rushed into the house at the same time.
In an instant, Li Xu understood why Luo Shixin's smile was so weird. The person who came was dressed as an out-and-out Khitan rich man. In the hot weather at the end of June, he was covering half of a bear's skin slantingly under the bear's skin.
, I don’t know if it is a yellow sheep or a camel, layers of reddish-brown soft and hard leather are wrapped from the waist to the knees. Below the knees are a pair of high-waisted boots. It was obviously soaked in water on the way here, and every step of the move made a shrill sound. "
"Gurgling" sound
"Distinguished friend, Dame Luhe in front of the Khitan King's Palace has been ordered by the princess to come to the Central Plains to thank you for your kindness. Please take a seat, and receive the worship of the two hundred thousand members of my Yulin tribe!" The visitor came to see you!
When he arrived at Li Xu, he quickly walked a few steps forward, put his hand on his left chest, and bowed deeply.
The laughter around him became even louder. Even Yan Zhili Xu couldn't help but smile at the man who was dressed so weirdly. It was as if he was deliberately making a fool of himself. For some unknown reason, all the hair in the front of his head was shaved off.
When he bowed, his green scalp was just exposed. It would have been better if all his hair had been cut off. However, this person had a small braid on the back of his head and on each of his left and right ears. Each braid was tied with gold wires and covered with cat's eyes, agate, and so on.
When Suet and Hongyu bowed, their three braids swayed back and forth, trembling and dazzling.
"Is your name Hebu Chen?" Xuzi's eyes were a little dazed either because of the sour smell of the visitor or because of the jewels and jewels. In his memory, he still had some vague impression of the name, but this person was by no means the same person.
What kind of friend? As for the Khitan Yulin Tribe, I have never heard of it.
"General Li is kind and kind. He saved my Princess Habayashi from the sea of misery. We, the Habayashi tribe, will never forget it in a thousand years..." Before Asahi asked, the visitor started singing in a melodious tone.
It's long, and every word seems to contain deep meaning.
Luo Shixin and others covered their noses and mouths. Obviously, they had already watched the guests' singing and dancing. The reason why they insisted on watching it again was just to see how Li Xu responded.
"General Li didn't like beauty, and he didn't do anything against the princess. General Li didn't covet money. He gave all his property to the princess. Year after year on the grassland, the ewes gave birth to lambs, and the mares gave birth to calves.
One hundred strings of copper coins turned into thousands. The princess was eagerly waiting for it, but General Li was nowhere to be seen..." The guest continued to chant regardless of everyone's feelings, but such an affectionate tune was rejected by this person who exuded a sour smell.
When a man sings, it really gives people goosebumps.
The smile solidified on Xuzi's face little by little. The person who came here was not a liar. What he sang was all the truth. It was a past that Xuzi didn't want to think about and couldn't forget.
Before leaving Su Chuo's department, he handed over all his property to Ayun to take care of, and asked Su Chuoxir to personally admit that Ayun's free agent was Ayun's subordinate and came to repay his kindness.
Past events from many years ago were stuffed back into his memory
"Okay, stop singing! Where is Ayun now, and why did she become the princess again!" Xuzi suddenly waved his hand and said in Turkic language
Changge paused for an instant. Except for the guests, all the people watching the excitement widened their eyes. They didn't know what Li Xu said, but they could tell that it was a foreign language, and the guests who were good at praying and chanting also
Just enough to understand
"Distinguished guest, do you really remember Ayun from the Su Chuo tribe?" The visitor replied in fluent Khitan, raising his head and revealing a pair of cunning eyes. "She was freed by your grace and was picked up by her tribe soon after.
Go and marry the biggest hero in the eastern part of the prairie, Yu Lin Kuang. She brought Han people’s shops, Han people’s living animals, and Han people’s methods of growing crops to the Yu Lin Department, which made our Yu Lin Department prosperous!”
"Ayun married into the Khitan tribe? Are you He Bu Chen? The He Bu Chen who cheated me of my war horse and jewels, Pan Zhan Yang!" Xuzi suddenly remembered it, rushed forward, grabbed the opponent's neck with force, and spoke in Chinese
shout
It was Pan Zhanyang, the same Pan Zhanyang who set fire to the Turkic camp with Big Eyes and himself. In that moment, it was as if the years had gone back, and Xu Zi had mixed feelings in her heart.
Back then, Big Eye and him, with the help of Pan Zhanyang, burned down the camp in Ashinachoyu. After escaping, Pan Zhanyang did not want to go with the two culprits, so he deceived two horses and part of the way to travel eastward. This man was very angry.
Cleverly, he must have guessed from clues that an important person from the Suotou Xi tribe was missing in Suchu. The Khitan and the Xi people are said to be of the same clan. Knowing the whereabouts of A Yun from Pan Zhanyang, he will definitely send someone to meet him.
One can imagine what happened next. Ayun from the Su Chuan tribe became the princess of the Khitan people. Pan Zhanyang happened to get the princess's favor with a bizarre experience. This kid was full of playfulness, and he had a chance to hang out under the Khitan king's tent.
It is not difficult to get a high position, and the small grocery store that Asahi left in Su Chuanbu must have been moved to Habayashi by Ayun who regained her freedom. Therefore, the merchants who went out of the country had another salesperson besides Su Chuanbu.
At this point, the Yulin Department also gradually prospered with the exchanges with the people of the Central Plains...
Li Xu's arms were trembling, and so was his voice when he spoke, "Ayun went to Khitan, where are Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang, where are they?" There had been no news from outside the Great Wall for a long time, and he thought he had forgotten all this experience, but today
Only then did I realize that those memories were so fresh, as if everything happened yesterday
He really wanted to ask Tao Kuo Tuosi, but he suppressed the thought of keeping this name in his heart for more than five years. Tao Kuo Tuosi had been married long ago. He wondered if her smile was still as bright as that day?
This man actually deceived General Li's war horse? The soldiers who were watching the excitement instinctively reached for their sabers. However, they did not see the slightest anger from Xu Zi's expression. On the contrary, at this moment, General Li's face was full of anger.
Not only the excitement of meeting old friends in a foreign country, but also many regrets that cannot be concealed
"General Li, General Li, please show mercy. No, Pan Zhanyang is about to be strangled to death by you!" The stinking guest, dressed in rough clothes, protested intermittently.
"You deserve to die, who told you to cheat me of my war horse and jewelry!" Li Xu spat with a smile, and pushed Pan Zhanyang hard onto the bench.
"As Changshengtian testifies, I just borrowed it back then and had no intention of not paying it back. Now you are the richest man in our Yulin Department besides the Great Khan. You have a thousand horses, three large flocks of sheep, and more than 400 horses under your name."
The Camel King Kewang and Zhang Ji are still in the Su Chuo Department, running another property under your name. In addition to the shop, there are also hundreds of horses and thousands of sheep. The Princess said that as long as she finds you, she will send people to take over the two departments at any time.
The belongings will be moved together and sent to you in the Central Plains! Therefore, you will not ask me for those two horses and a few broken stones again!" Pan Zhanyang sat upright and replied with a playful smile.
"Bah, you must pay back your capital and interest today, otherwise, you will never get out of my handsome tent!" Li Xu slammed the table hard and shouted
"That's not possible. I've traveled half of the Central Plains to find you! I've worn out several pairs of boots!" Pan Zhanyang protested loudly, covering the cowhide purse around his waist.
"Congratulations to General Li for getting rich! We will stay away for the time being and not disturb the general and the reconciliation!" Luo Shixin smiled and winked at the companions around him, leading everyone to retire. Since Xuzi came to Qijun, few people have seen him smiling like this.
I am so happy tonight. This happy mood has also infected many people. Everyone's steps have become relaxed, and the stars above their heads have become brighter.
"General Li can actually speak Khitan!" After walking a few steps, a guard said in admiration.
"That's Turkic. General Li was ordered to go to Turks to buy horses. Of course he can speak a few words in Turkic!" Luo Shixin replied loudly, feeling sincerely proud of his companion. "It is said that he was only fourteen years old at the time and thousands of miles away."
I walked down the road alone and was unscathed!"
He also remembered that when he was fourteen years old, he boldly broke into Zhang Xutuo and signed up to kill the thief. "Back then, Zhongjian was the same age as me!" Luo Shi silently thought about the past with confidence, and unconsciously smiled all over his face.

Note 2: Yesterday, Reuters continued to refer to deer as horses and broadcast the Nepali police as Chinese police. Let the clams go away and let us continue to farm.
