Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 312 Outsiders
Fan Muman thought that the person in the ambush was an "outsider" as Xiao Yang had guessed, but he didn't know that the person was actually wearing the clothes of a Loulan caravan guard. He was very surprised and asked: "What's your name? Why would Gan Qi send you like this?" A frivolous young man comes to save people?"

The young man said angrily, "I'm not a fool, it's you Khotan people who are despicable and shameless, and set up an ambush in advance."

Mu Mu thought for a moment, then ordered someone to frame A Fei, pointed at the young guard and said, "This is the person Gan Qi sent to save you. How dare you say that you didn't take the blame for the Loulan caravan?" With a slight raise of his hand Then, the samurai was about to put a long knife across the young guard's neck, and it seemed that if A Fei didn't confess again, he would kill the guard immediately.

Ah Fei was still in a daze from his torture wounds, but when he looked up and saw the young guard, he recognized him immediately and shouted: "You can't kill him." Sugi smiled and said: "His life is at your word Between. As long as you tell who ordered you, I will spare him."

Ah Fei hurriedly said: "President, you must not hurt him, he is not an ordinary guard, he is His Royal Highness." Sumu said: "There are only two princes in Loulan Kingdom, Aowen and Daofu, and they are both over 20 years old. How could such a young and reckless young prince come out? I am not satisfied with this answer. Come..." A Fei hurriedly said: "It's true, he is really a prince, the second prince of Che Shi Kingdom."

Fangmu was startled and stepped forward and asked, "Are you Changmai, the second son of King Libi?"

Changmai proudly said: "Yes, I am Prince Changmai. Prime Minister Zuo, although Che Shi and you Khotan are not allies, we are not enemies either. How dare you treat his prince like this?"

His mother, Queen Shaman, is the sister of King Wentian of Loulan.Cheshi has experienced years of drought recently, and the country is seriously short of food, as is the in-laws and ally Loulan, so the two countries decided to jointly buy grain from the Central Plains to tide over the crisis.

Prince Changmai petitioned to go to Loulan Kingdom to deal with the matter. Afterwards, he abandoned many attendants and disguised himself as a guard to join Ganqi's grain buying caravan. He was not discovered until he entered the desert. Agree with him to follow the caravan.In fact, Chang Mai is not interested in the so-called trip to buy grain, but he is just a young man who wants to take the opportunity to visit the Central Plains.

After he arrived in Dunhuang, he got into a lot of troubles, and got acquainted with Wu Price, a quack doctor, and they talked about speculation, and decided to worship him as his military adviser and go back to the Western Regions together.

He is the prince of Che Shi, even if Gan Qi and others don't want to, there is nothing they can do.After the Ye Mingzhu incident, Changmai listened to priceless inferences and was convinced that Khotan intended to cause trouble. He was even more determined to rescue the self-sacrificing Ah Fei. , So he quietly left the team with priceless, ready to rescue A Fei, find out the truth, and then expose Khotan's conspiracy to the world.

It just so happens that tonight is the night of the full moon, Wu Price said that there is a way to get close to the Khotan camp to save people, so Chang Mai is left to wait far away.

But he waited for a long time but he didn't see Wu Price coming back. Suspecting that the other party had missed and been captured, he quietly came to the Khotan camp, intending to find out, but he didn't know that his footsteps had already been heard by the Khotan warrior Hu Lu.

Hulu is a quiver made of leather. In addition to holding arrows, it is also used to detect distant sounds at night. When lying on an empty Hulu in the desert, you can hear the sound of people and horses walking thirty miles away, so it is also It's called "earth listening".

The samurai noticed something strange and set up a trap in advance. As soon as Changmai entered the camp, he tripped and fell, eating mud from his mouth. He was tied up tightly before he could even pull out his weapon.

Changmai revealed the identity of the prince of the car master, and thought that the other party
It turned out that Changmai was the second son of King Libi of Cheshi Kingdom.
He must be in awe, and ordered to untie the tie without saying a word, but Sugi just shook his head and said: "If you don't make it clear, this tie cannot be loosened.

Prince Changmai, I really want to go to the country of Che Shi and ask your father, what are you doing to break into our Khotan camp in the middle of the night if you don’t stay in Jiaohe, your king’s capital, to enjoy the blessings?Didn't you see the envoy's flag?He was actually dressed as a Loulan guard. "

Changmai said: "Ming people don't speak dark words. This time I followed the Loulan caravan to the Central Plains to buy grain. I dressed up as a guard because it was inconvenient to reveal my identity. You are the Prime Minister of Khotan, and you have the status of an uncle. How can you use it?" Despicable means to frame the Loulan caravan? The military adviser and I admire A Fei's loyalty and come here to save him."

Xun Mu Daqi looked back at Xiao Yang deliberately, and then asked: "Who is the military advisor? I didn't know that the prince had a military advisor beside him."

Chang Mai was able to confirm that Wu Price had not fallen into Khotan's hands, and he regretted that he had acted rashly.

Mu Mu pondered for a moment, and called out: "Come here, untie Prince Changmai." Then he said solemnly, "Your Highness, I will let you go first this time. A Fei confessed his crime himself, and I have to take him back to Khotan and hand him over to Huai." Princess Yu will deal with it personally, and I ask the prince to be considerate and stop wasting effort to save him."

Changmai was very unwilling, but had no choice but to glare at Fanmu and feel dark.Fan Mu ordered people to take A Fei away, and then he walked up to Xiao Yang and said, "Didn't you speculate that the Loulan people have decided that A Fei is a thief, or that he has been bribed by us in Khotan? What should we say now?"

Xiao Yang was about to answer when he suddenly heard a warrior shouting from the north side of the camp: "Who's there? Come out, or don't blame the bow and arrow for being ruthless." Immediately someone responded: "It's me, I'll come out, don't shoot, don't shoot, I surrender."

A moment later, the warrior Ah Jing came over with a heavily tied Taoist priest.Xunmu asked, "Are you Prince Changmai's military adviser?" A Jing hurriedly said, "President, I have seen this man, he has been setting up a stall near the Yumen Inn to tell fortunes."

Sumu smiled and said: "How did Changmai find such a wretched Taoist priest from the Central Plains as a military adviser?" military adviser."

Su Mu said: "That would be much easier. Come, someone will pull this Taoist aside and kill him." Xiao Xiaosheng immediately jumped up and shouted, "How can you kill people indiscriminately?"

Suzuki ignored him and just waved his hand.Xiao Xiaosheng protested loudly, but was no match for the warrior Dali, and was forcibly dragged away.

Xiao Yang said: "Wait a minute!" He quickly walked up to Xiao Xiaosheng and asked, "You...you are the one who told Ah Fei to stand up and confess, aren't you?"

Smiling and surprised, he said: "Ah, aren't you the felon Xiao Yang who is wanted by the court? Why are you here? How do you know that I am the one who secretly pointed out Ah Fei?" Very surprised, and Sugi was even more surprised.

Xiao Yang said: "Well, I was just asking casually. If you have nothing to do with this matter, how could you follow the Khotan team all the way?"
