Wang Xun's previous attack was not very serious. The guide Lao Yue had woken up a long time ago and had been lying in the camp pretending to be unconscious. At this moment, he suddenly heard the captain calling his name and knew that something was wrong. He got up quickly.
He ran away. How could he run away at this juncture? Several Feilong guards had already pounced on him, pushed him to the ground, and dragged him to Wang Xun by the collar.
"It's killing, the officers and soldiers are killing!" Before Wang Xun could say anything, the guide Lao Yue immediately rolled on the ground. "The officers and soldiers couldn't defeat the robbers, so they killed to vent their anger!" Several Feilong guards were unable to hold him down.
"If you dare to scream again, I will chop you up!" Wang Xun pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and pressed it on Lao Yue's neck without hesitation. "Tell me, where did those bandits outside come from?
"
"It's unfair, I didn't know. I really didn't know, Mr. Captain!" the guide Lao Yue continued to shout, refusing to admit his guilt.
Wang Xun smiled, exerted a little force on his wrist, and the sharp blade immediately cut into the flesh, "Tell me, if I kill you and then blame the guys on the other side, will anyone be able to uphold justice for you in the future?
"
"Little..." The voice calling for injustice stopped. The guide Lao Yue opened his eyes, his eyes full of fear. He found that he had gotten into a big trouble. Although the other party was very young, he was definitely not someone who could be fooled easily.
.This can be seen from his decisive action of knocking himself unconscious just now to stabilize the morale of the army.
"I actually don't have much patience." Wang Xun raised his wrist slightly, and the blood beads immediately slid down the blade and seeped into the sand drop by drop. "But I really want to see what a person can do.
How much blood can be shed? Three hours? Or two hours? If I cut your blood vessels, I believe those guys outside will not be able to rush in and save you right away!"
Listening to the hissing sound of the sand absorbing the blood, the guide Lao Yue's eyes were full of fear, "I, I really don't know where they come from, Mr. Captain! Just let Xiao Xiao go. There are still many things in Xiao Xiao's home.
We have three children, and we all rely on the younger one to lead the way and provide for us!”
"I don't know?" Wang Xun suddenly became soft-hearted, slowly put away the horizontal knife, and wiped the blood on the blade with his fingers.
"I really don't know, I don't know. You can swear to God! If you lie even half a word, the sky will thunder and strike!" The guide, Lao Yue, was granted amnesty, covering the wound on his neck with one hand and pointing to the sky with the other.
"But I heard that there is no thunder in the desert!" In an instant, Wang Xun pressed the horizontal knife to the other side of Lao Yue's neck, "I don't know. I don't know who the robber is. Why did you just finish telling the ghost story during the day?
, there are bandits pretending to be evil at night? I don’t know why you left the Yiwu Road outside Yumen Pass, which is easy to walk, and took everyone to go around the desert outside Yangguan? I don’t know why you shouted when the enemy came.
Louder than anyone else?".
The first and third questions, the guide Lao Yue couldn't explain at all. But the second question allowed him to find an opening. "I'm wronged, wronged! Mr. Xiaowei. Taking this road, more than ten days ago
It's your choice. Don't blame the little one!"
"Really?" Wang Xun continued to exert force on his wrist and cut a second incision on Lao Yue's neck, "I'm new here, so I only take the shortcuts shown on the map. What you eat is the guide's rice.
Is there a reason why you can guide guests on difficult roads? Tell me, the people outside are about to attack. I hope to hear a reasonable explanation before they arrive at the camp! Otherwise, you will never have a chance to say it!
"
"Ah..." The guide Lao Yue felt pain in his neck and tried his best to dodge back. Fang Ziteng rushed forward, reached out to hold his head, and turned his throat to the blade, "Don't ask him. I would rather die than tell the truth.
Give him a good time, and then we can directly tell people outside that he has confessed. Deception can also reveal the truth!"
This sentence was more effective than anything Wang Xun had just said. The guide Lao Yue immediately opened his eyes and shook his head wildly, "Spare, spare my life! I, I advise, don't, don't kill me!"
"If you don't give me a toast, I'll be fined with wine!" Fang Ziteng is far better at dealing with this kind of meat than Wang Xun. "I'll count one, two, three. If you don't explain, I'll cut your throat. One..."
"I said, I said, it was Gulitu, it was General Gulitu who asked me to do this. I am just following orders, acting on orders!" Lao Yue, the guide, was crying and shouting loudly.
"Gu Litu?" Wang Xun had a vague impression of this name, but he couldn't remember clearly when he had interacted with this person. Before he could remember, the guide Lao Yue had completely collapsed, "I've been escorting you for the past few days.
In Liangzhou City, he told me to take you along the Loulan Ancient Road. Before leaving yesterday, he told me that he must take you to rest in this area tonight, otherwise, my whole family will be killed.
Let me ask! He is just a commoner, so he really can’t afford to offend him!"
After hearing this, not only Wang Xun, but also several other leaders of the Forbidden Army understood. The team of soldiers sent by Ge Shuhan were not here to protect everyone at all, but to send everyone to hell. Killing people in Hexi, even if there is no one afterward.
People suspected his brother Shu Han. With such a large amount of ordnance lost in the territory, this man could not escape the crime of disorderly public security. After leaving Yangguan, it was the jurisdiction of the Anxi Army. The baggage train disappeared in the desert.
Among them, the responsibility can only be shouldered by Feng Changqing, who has nothing to do with his brother Shu Han.
"Xiao, Xiao Xiao, no, I don't know what's going on between you and General Gu. But Xiao, Xiao Xiao can guarantee that if you take the Loulan Ancient Road, it is indeed closer than Yiwu Road! Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao didn't originally, no.
Malice, just, just..." Seeing that everyone was stunned on the spot, the guide Lao Yue thought for a moment and defended himself in a low voice.
"I'll beat you to death, you bastard!" Before he could finish his words, Fang Ziteng rushed forward, punching and kicking him. "There's no malice, no malice. First, take a look at what those guys outside are wearing on their necks. I'm sorry.
You have led me into a trap, and you still say you have no ill intentions! I will kill you first, and you will be the one to bear the consequences!"
The guide Lao Yue didn't dare to talk back, so he held his head with both hands and rolled on the ground, "Spare your life, Mr. Fang, please forgive me. The little one is just a guide. The little one only knows how to lead others!"
Everyone made such a big noise, and Minzhuang nearby was already alerted. They all turned their heads and probed to see what was going on. In their eyes, they actually showed a lot of pity for the person who was being beaten.
"Okay, Xiaofang, it's useless to hit him!" Wang Xun didn't want to cause misunderstanding among the people, so he waved his hand and shouted in a low voice. "Let him go, I have a few more questions to ask!"
The superior had orders, and Fang Ziteng had to obey. He grabbed the collar of his guide Lao Yue and threw him back in front of Wang Xun. "Tell me, answer my captain's words well, otherwise, I will cut you into pieces!"
"I said, I said, I will say whatever the captain asked me?" the guide Lao Yue climbed a few steps towards Wang Xun and agreed with a pair of panda eyes.
Wang Xun smiled and picked him up from the ground with one hand, "Sit down. No need to kneel! The first thing I want to know is, who is this person named Gu that makes you so afraid of him?"
"He was originally Ge Shuhan's domestic slave. Later he became a general of the Hexi Army." The guide Lao Yue did not dare to sit on an equal footing with Wang Xun. He squatted on the ground and responded in a low voice. "They are all Turks. So break the bones."
I am a Han Chinese, and I am always bullied by the Turks. When I meet the Turkic officials, I dare not disobey them!"
It was the result of the court's deliberate connivance! Wang Xun, Fang Ziteng and others looked at each other and murmured in their hearts. After Emperor Taizong conquered the Western Regions, he implemented the policy of treating Hu and Han as equals. As a result, many barbarian tribes turned Hu into Han and slowly integrated with the Central Plains.
The people of the Tang Dynasty were integrated into one. But in the current generation of the emperor, because he feels that the Hu people are more honest than the Han people, many policies are tilted towards the Hu people. As a result, the Hu people in the Western Regions feel that they are superior to the Han people, and many Han people also think that they are superior to the Han people.
They are proud to carry the blood of the Hu people. As time goes by, there are more and more Hu people in various parts of the Western Regions, and fewer and fewer Han people. Slowly, it becomes the world of the Turks, Tiele and Uighurs again.
This kind of important court matter is far beyond the reach of Wang Xun and other small figures, although along the way, they have deeply seen the potential dangers involved. With a long sigh, he raised his voice a few points and continued to ask: "
Does the so-called ghost injury incident on this road have something to do with the guy named Gu? This is not the first time you have colluded with him, right? Apart from trying to murder us this time, what else has he done? "
"I'm wronged!" the guide Lao Yue instinctively denied. He looked at Fang Ziteng who was ready to pounce at any moment, and quickly changed his mind, "I only did business with him twice, and this is the second time. Last time we were a group.
The big food merchants took advantage of the large number of people and wanted to take a shortcut. When Gulitu found out, he killed them all and sank into the sea in Puchang. The younger ones only got a roll of Su silk after the incident, and nothing else."
"Oh my God!" Everyone gasped. I had heard that Ge Shuhan was in Hexi and could dominate the sky with one hand, but I didn't expect that his subordinates would be so courageous and hungry. They killed people, bought goods, and divided the spoils. Is this any different from a real sand bandit?
.It’s just that the latter fought with open fire, while Gu Litu and others were just wearing official robes.
"No one was left alive!" Although the enemy troops in the distance had already organized their troops, Wang Xun still asked unhurriedly.
"No! General Gulitu was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so his men never left anyone alive." The guide Lao Yue shook his head and closed his eyes in fear.
For such a large caravan, more than 300 people were hired to protect it. But all of them were killed overnight. The companions who came to lead the way were so frightened that they foamed at the mouth every day.
People kowtow and beg for mercy. But he is not even qualified to go crazy. The whole family is in the hands of others. If he does not cooperate with General Gulitu's soldiers, he will definitely be thrown into the desert, and not even a single body will be found.
