"Hahahaha——" The crowd immediately burst into laughter. After experiencing life and death together, the distance between everyone was extremely close, and the seniority, inferiority, and superiority were all thrown out of the horizon.
Since he was twelve years old, how often had Wang Xun been coaxed like a child by a woman? Especially in front of a bunch of people! Suddenly, his bronze face turned purple. He quickly sat up from the bed.
, reached out and snatched the medicine bowl from Miss Xiaoluo's hand, raised her head, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Be careful, don't open the wound. Be careful!" Xiao Luo, the masked woman, hurriedly tried to dissuade her. But it was too late. It wasn't until the concoction was poured into his stomach that Wang Xun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and groaned.
, sweat rolled down his forehead.
"This man, you are such a man! I'm going to kill you!" Xiao Luo was angry and anxious, pulling Wang Xun's ears and shouting. Turning her head, she vented her anger on Fang Ziling, Lao Zhou, Wei Feng and others.
, "Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing?! If his wound bursts, let's see who of you can still laugh!"
Can you blame us? Wei Feng, Lao Zhou and others murmured in a low voice, suppressing their laughter and turning their heads to the side. In the past few days, everyone has been taking care of Miss Xiao Luo, so no one dared
Really make the latter angry. Otherwise, not only will your conscience not be able to live with it, but you will also lack a lot of flavor in your life.
"If you don't want to die, lie down quickly!" Turning his head again, Xiao Luo ordered to Wang Xun.
"Hey!" Not daring to offend this little devil again, Wang Xun slowly lay down. The doubts in his heart became more and more intense. It was clearly winter when he was fighting people in the desert, but now the surroundings are full of green. Four or five months
Time, the wound hasn't healed yet? Could it be that the weapons of the Hexi Army were smeared with poison?
Taking a closer look at Lao Zhou, Fang Ziling and others, he found that the white cloths wrapping the wounds on everyone's bodies were all new. Some people's injuries were more serious, and there were faint dark red blood stains under the white cloths.
Time intersects!
For a moment, Wang Xun really couldn't figure out whether he was still dreaming. But the pain in the wound came over him in waves, and he couldn't help but scream again. "Um, um, can you give me some water?"
I have a bowl of water to drink!”
"You deserve it if it hurts so much. Who told you to be so ignorant!" Miss Luo's voice came again, with a hint of concern, "Here, don't drink too much. It's not good for the injury!"
Wang Xun gave him a grateful glance and reached out to take the water bowl. "Forget it, you should just lie down!" Seeing that his face was pale in pain, Miss Luo's heart immediately began to soften again, "I'll feed you with a spoon!"
"
How embarrassing is this! The expression on Wang Xun's face immediately became embarrassed again. Although Hu Feng was very victorious in Chang'an City, unmarried men and women would not feed each other in public. And he and this girl Xiaoluo had never met...
....
The other party obviously didn't have so many worries in his heart. He slowly scooped up a spoonful of water and handed it to Wang Xun's mouth. There was no emotion or any coaxing.
Seeing Miss Xiao Luo being so generous, Wang Xun gradually felt relieved. This is the Western Region, not Chang'an. Maybe the customs are so simple, and there is no need to be strange. But where is this in the Western Region? How long have I been unconscious?
Which local tribe did Miss Luo belong to? Behind the thick fog, he could not see any answer.
While he was confused, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came to his ears. Immediately afterwards, a crisp male voice came from a distance, "Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, are you over here? Hurry to the old camp.
One time, Uncle Chen was injured!"
"Uncle Chen is injured!" Xiao Luo, the masked woman, shook her hand and almost poured water into Wang Xun's nose. Dropping the bowl, she stood up in a hurry, "Where is the injury? Is it serious? You
You idiot, what did Mr. Kang tell you before setting off!"
"We have tried our best to protect Uncle Chen, but he rushed forward on his own." The visitor got closer and closer, with a hint of grievance in his voice, "As a result, he was chopped down by the thieves from Heba's tribe when he was not careful.
One knife. Fortunately, it didn't hit the right place, it just made a big gash in the arm."
"Stupid, stupid!" Xiao Luo stamped his feet anxiously, "He wants to rush forward on his own, and you won't stop him? Where are the other brothers, how many injuries and fractures are there?!"
"No one was broken, only three were seriously injured and over forty minor injuries. They were all carried to the old camp. Master Fuwei and Qiaoqiao are taking care of them! I was afraid that they would be too busy, so I hurried to look for you!
"While he was talking, the young man had already galloped forward. Seeing the confused Wang Xun, he smiled and whispered: "You're awake. Now that you're awake, don't just lie down. Get down and walk slowly.
, good for wound recovery!”
"You know nothing!" Xiao Luo scolded him unceremoniously while packing the medicine box, "You want to mix in everything, but you can't mix in anything. In the first war, you hurt so many brothers! Thanks to Mr. Kang
I can rest assured that you will lead the team!"
"Can you blame me? Can you blame me?" In front of outsiders, the man's face immediately became a little confused. "The people in the Heba tribe are more than twice as many as us! There are Tibetan dogs behind them to give them advice.
!”
"Why didn't you say you brought so many crossbows with you this time? When did the people in Heba's tribe have crossbows?" Miss Luo was unreasonable, poking at the opponent's sore spots with every word. "Before setting off, who is worried?
I once boasted in front of you, saying that you can kill a chicken with a sledgehammer and capture it with ease. This time, you may have been blinded by the chicken!"
"I won! I won." The man was so anxious that he knocked on the horse's belly. "Who said I didn't win? I went with so many crossbows. If I can't win, I still have the nerve to come back and see you again."
You? Heba's tribe has surrendered, and I captured Heba Tuxin! There was also a Tibetan dog named Lunheji, and I also captured him alive!"
"That's pretty much it, let's go!" After hearing the other party's last words, Miss Xiao Luo finally felt a little happier, "Hurry up, Uncle Chen is weak and can't bear the delay!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand to the man on horseback. Using the force of his arm, she jumped directly into his arms with the medicine box. She did not shy away from any differences between men and women.
This move stunned Lao Zhou and others. No woman in Chang'an city dared to be so bold. Otherwise, even if the man behind her was willing to marry her, her parents-in-law would not dare to let such a "loose" woman ruin their family tradition.
.
However, Miss Luo's behavior has nothing to do with the word "debauchery". Sitting in front of the man, holding the medicine box in her arms, she looked extremely innocent. As if greeting her brother, she shouted to Wang Xun,
"Don't move. He just talked nonsense. The wound is so deep that it will take at least seven days to scab. You have only been lying down for less than three days. Don't rush to the ground. Otherwise, my past few days will be in vain.
Busy work!"
"Well——!" Wang Xun responded in a confused manner, feeling increasingly confused. He had only been lying there for three days, which means it was still winter, but why was he surrounded by greenery and lying in the open air, but he didn't feel anything?
Is it half cold? Xiao Luo said that the man went out to fight and used a lot of crossbows. He must be the one who was responsible for escorting them. But since they took away the baggage, why bother to treat everyone's injuries?
I am puzzled!
In a daze, Wang Xun felt as if he had walked into the depths of a thick fog. The answer was almost within reach, but his eyes just couldn't see it.
"Boss, boss, are you okay?" At some point, Fang Ziling came over again and whispered in Wang Xun's ear.
"It's okay!" Wang Xun shook his head, trying to stay awake, "Help me up, I need to walk around!"
"That won't work. If Miss Xiao Luo sees her later...!" Fang Ziling immediately ran away as if he had been stung by a scorpion.
"Will you help me?" Wang Xun turned his head, showing an angry look. Fang Ziling shook his head, refusing to be threatened. Wang Xun had no choice but to grit his teeth, try to support his body with his arms, and slowly get off the bed.
Lift it up. When Fang Ziling saw this, he was so frightened that he immediately rushed over again, "I'll help you, I'll help you, why don't I help you? Slow down, you must slow down!"
When Lao Zhou and Wei Feng saw this, they hurried forward and, together with Fang Ziling, lifted Wang Xun off the sick bed. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Wang Xun immediately felt his knees weakening. But the stubbornness unique to young people
The child refused to show weakness and resisted the pain from the wound. He slowly stood up and raised his leg. One step, two steps, three steps...
Stars were shining in front of his eyes. But there was a familiar power that slowly extended from his back to his whole body. With the support of several friends, he walked slowly for a few steps. After checking that no outsiders were following him, he lowered his voice and asked
: "Where is this? How long have I been unconscious? Why is everything around me already green? Who is Miss Luo? How did everyone escape that day? Tell me quickly!"
"This..." Fang Ziling's face became very strange again. He hesitated for a while, and then he had to speak under Wang Xun's pressure, "I don't know where this is. People in Loulan call it Altun Mountain.
.There are many hot springs in this valley, so it’s like spring all year round!”
"That's it!" Wang Xun finally saw a glimmer of light in front of his eyes. Last winter, he led the guards to clear snow in Huaqing Pool and saw the scenery near the hot spring. Presumably the hot spring here is hotter, so the trees in the valley
There is always a lot of greenery. But why do people from Loulan appear again? The ancient country of Loulan seems to have been dead for hundreds of years!
Before he could ask, Fang Ziling's words had already revealed the mystery, "Miss Xiaoluo is the daughter of the Loulan elder. The man just now is named Shi Zhiba, and he is the only son of another elder. The morning before yesterday, it was also the Loulan people who copied Guli Tu.
The way out. You were unconscious at the time, and I, I, had no choice, so I asked the brothers to put down their weapons!"
"You!" Wang Xun staggered and almost fell to the ground. Those Loulan people were clearly impersonated by a group of sand bandits! The brothers were not defeated by the Hexi Army, nor did they beg for mercy from the Tubo people, but in the end they became a gang.
The prisoner of the sand bandit! But all of this happened after he was unconscious. Apart from holding him back, he couldn't do anything about it.
Seeing that his face turned black with anger, Wei Feng, the leader of Minzhuang, quickly pushed Fang Ziling away, gently beat his back, and explained in a low voice: "At that time, the Fang team was doing their best. He was the leader of the Loulan people.
, it was the leader of the Sand Bandits who personally agreed to ensure the safety of the brothers and help collect the bodies of all the brothers who died in the battle. The square team just ordered everyone to put down their weapons and surrender."
"Do you believe this?" Wang Xun's mouth was filled with bitterness. However, he could not accuse his brothers of doing something wrong. At that time, both the Feilong Imperial Guard and Minzhuang were exhausted. Even if Fang Ziling ordered a bloody battle to the end, it is estimated that
At most, his life would be in vain, and it would be impossible to save the baggage that everyone was escorting.
"They, they did treat everyone's injuries!" Fang Ziling secretly glanced at Wang Xun and defended in a low voice. "If they hadn't helped with treatment, many brothers would never have survived."
Wang Xun couldn't refute this statement. The bandages on his body were wrapped so carefully that he couldn't believe that they were carried out by a group of bandits who killed without blinking an eye. If he still didn't know the identity of the other party, he almost regarded Miss Luo as an innocent person.
The girl next door. Although this girl has a bad temper and her behavior is too unrestrained.
In terms of dealing with people, Wei Feng, the leader of Minzhuang, was far more experienced than Fang Ziling. When Wang Xun stopped talking for a while, he guessed why he was silent. He sighed and continued to explain: "We really couldn't believe it at the time. But that guide
Lao Yue jumped up and testified to the sand bandits, saying that the sand bandits who did not leave alive must be the officers and soldiers in disguise. The real sand bandits would never drive out the caravan. Otherwise, they would slaughter the ewes in the spring and cut off their own
Way to make money!"
This analogy was vulgar, but also very vivid. Wang Xun immediately understood what Wei Feng meant. Bandits on the Silk Road survived entirely by robbing caravans of property. If all the traders were killed every time,
Gradually, no one dares to take this road anymore. In this way, the sand pirates will lose the basis of their survival and become water without a source, and will soon be on the verge of drying up.
But that is for merchants, but they are genuine officers and soldiers. If merchants lose their goods, they can buy them again. If officers and soldiers lose their baggage, they only lose their heads!
"In the past few days, I've been making some insinuations with Miss Xiao Luo..." Looking around, Wei Feng lowered his voice, "It seems like this group of Loulan people, every time they rob a caravan, as long as
The other party left 20% of the cargo as protection fee so that they could cross the border safely. They also escorted the other party all the way west to Yanqi. The Loulan people only took part of the baggage we were responsible for escorting, and the rest continued to be placed in the carriage.
Here. If you come forward to tell..."
"What the heck!" Wang Xun was so angry that he almost went crazy. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this group of officers and soldiers under his command was probably the first and possibly the last to surrender to the bandits. And they also had to surrender to Sha Sha.
The thief bargained, asking the other party to take away 20% of the baggage, and then showed his favor to everyone.
The face of the Tang Empire may have been completely lost by this group of people.
But other than that, are there any other options?
For a moment, the figures of Lao Zheng, Lao Zhao and other war dead flashed before his eyes. At the last moment of their lives, they all tried their best to turn their faces to the east.
