Yuan Size was silent for a moment, and finally agreed. He had no other choice. Even if he could return to Xixia, he would be the defeated general and the culprit who destroyed an army of 100,000 people. He would have to be imprisoned if not beheaded. Xu Zizhen
The offer was very tempting to him.
Xu Zizhen had a room arranged for him in Lanzhou City and randomly selected two soldiers to guard it. He believed that Yuan Size would not escape and would be very cooperative and stay as a hostage.
Xiao Xuan and Eunuch Xie did not have such luck. Xu Zizhen had them taken directly to Lanzhou Prison and locked in the death row at the end. They were given two Wotou and a bowl of water every day, as long as they did not starve to death.
After dealing with the hostages, Xu Zizhen returned to the gate, where the Tubo and his entourage were still waiting. Duoqi Dolma was bored, grabbing the corner of his clothes and looking at the scenery, but the corner of his eye glanced at Li Meng from time to time. Xu Zizhen smiled secretly and waved to Li Meng.
Called: "Xiao Meng, take the little princess and Princess Zhuo Ya around Lanzhou City. Just return to the house before dark. I will arrange a place for them to stay."
Duoqi Dolma suddenly beamed with joy, and just as she was about to nod her head, she saw Li Meng pinch his neck: "I don't, there are a lot of people in this gate, uncle, just send someone else there."
"Hey! You little bastard!" Xu Zizhen slapped him on the forehead and said in a low voice, "The little princess has made it clear that she wants you to accompany her, but you are holding back?"
Li Meng said with a bitter face: "Uncle, you don't know how clingy she is, how annoying she is!"
"You have to let go of the trouble. You are a big man, so you have to behave like a gentleman."
"What does it mean to be a gentleman?"
Xu Zizhen was speechless for a long time: "Uh... just like me."
Li Meng muttered: "That's nothing good..."
Xu Zizhen glared: "What did you say, brat?!"
Li Meng covered his head and ran away: "I'm going, can't I go?"
Duoqi Dolma didn't take any bodyguards with her and followed Li Meng to go shopping in Lanzhou City. Zhuoya didn't go either. In her words, she had been traveling for too long and was a little tired. But she didn't go to rest either and just stayed behind closed doors to watch.
Looking at Xu Zizhen, Xu Zizhen couldn't figure out what the goddess was thinking, but since she was a guest from afar, he didn't bother to think about it, so he just let her go.
The team of horse thieves sent to escort Duoqi Zhuoma arrived at Jincheng Pass. Everything was new. They looked around and touched there. Soon all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion arrived. They had a warm chat with Xu Zizhen first, and then the team
The horse thieves inside all ran out and got into trouble with the dozens of horse thieves who had gone to Tibet.
Bu Fen didn't care and let them make trouble. Xu Zizhen watched all this with a smile. When they had made enough trouble, he coughed lightly and waved to the Shenji Camp to assemble.
Several hundred people quickly formed a queue. The leader of the team of horse thieves who came back from Tibet was named Xiao Liu. He looked at his former brothers in surprise. They were the evil stars that roamed the Northwest Road back then. Who had ever behaved so well?
day?
Xu Zizhen turned to Zhuo Ya and smiled: "How are my soldiers doing?"
Zhuo Ya had seen the Shenji Battalion take action, and they were indeed very skilled and strictly followed orders. She nodded and said nothing, but considering her personality, this was already a good recognition.
Xu Zizhen turned his head proudly and suddenly shouted: "The new soldiers come out!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing what it meant, but they still separated according to his command. Soon, hundreds of people from the Shenji Battalion were divided into two columns, with the new soldiers in front and the horse thieves in the back. Xu Zizhen asked the new soldiers to stand up
On the other hand, his expression gradually became solemn, he walked up to Bu Fen, stretched out his hand and took out the gun from his waist, and put it solemnly into Bu Fen's hand.
This fire blunderbuss was offered to Yun Size when Xingzi was a child, and now that he had been captured, this guy naturally returned to Xu Zizhen's hands.
Bu Fen frowned, glanced at the gun, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xu Zizhen said: "I asked Brother Bu and my brothers to help me in order to fight against the Xixia Army, but now that the Xixia Army has been defeated, I am too embarrassed to keep my brothers around anymore. I am happy and happy on the northwest road, and my military camp
How can it be compared with Li, so..."
Bu Fen said: "So you want us to get out?"
Xu Zizhen waved his hand with a heavy expression: "That's not what you mean. From the time Brother Bu helped me until now, I have killed many brothers. I... now that the war is over, Brother Bu no longer has to suffer here with the brothers."
Having said this, he clapped his hands, and several soldiers came over and pulled over the two carts of gifts sent by Duoqi Dolma. When the curtains were lifted, in addition to the Tibetan gifts, there were also a pile of neatly stacked double-barreled shotguns inside.
Xu Zizhen pointed to the driveway: "Brother Bu, these things are for you. You can divide them with your brothers. In addition, I promised you that each of you will have a gun. This can be considered a parting gift for us brothers."
Bu Fen stared at him for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Are you serious?"
Xu Zizhen smiled, leaned close to Bu Fen and whispered: "The war is coming, and the world will be in chaos. Rather than staying in Lanzhou, Brother Bu and his brothers might as well create a world of their own, so that one day they can appear again to help our brothers."
Bu Fen had heard Qian Tongzhi talk about Xu Zizhen's miracles, including his prediction of the great victory of Xingzi Castle, so he was not surprised at all by his words. He held his gun in silence, and nodded after a moment: "Then I will bring
Brothers, go back. If you need us in the future, just send someone to look for me on the northwest road."
Xu Zizhen smiled and stretched out his right hand: "It's a deal!"
Bu Fen also stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Xu Zizhen: "It's a deal!"
Others didn't know what kind of medicine Xu Zizhen was selling in the gourd. It wasn't until Bu Fen led the horse thieves away that they were convinced that this was not a joke. When they closed the door, the pot exploded. The Shenji camp did not appear for a long time, but now it has become a
With a main beam in Jincheng Pass, even in the days when Xu Zizhen is away, as long as the soldiers of Shenji Battalion are at the pass, everyone will feel more at ease.
But now Bu Fen really left like this, and took away half of the soldiers of the Shenji Camp. Although those were originally Bu Fen's brothers, everyone still couldn't accept it, especially the other half of the Shenji Camp.
That is to say, those new recruits, besides being full of shock, were also extremely reluctant to give up.
The horse thieves were actually reluctant to part with them. Almost all of these recruits had been taught by them, and now they were leaving as soon as they could. Although their faces pretended to be nonchalant, there were tears in their eyes.
The farewells between the men were short but the friendship was profound. There was a sad feeling of separation in the air. Xu Zizhen did not tell them the real reason. This was a move he made that lasted a long time. It can only be between him and Bu Fen.
Two people know.
Bu Fen left, and Xu Zizhen gathered the remaining Shenji Battalion soldiers together. Looking at the frustrated faces, he felt uncomfortable, but he had his own plan.
"Stand up straight!" Xu Zizhen took a deep breath and shouted, "The Shenji Camp is still the Shenji Camp without Brother Bu. If you really can't bear to let me go, then train hard for me and don't fucking give it to Shenji.
