Return the Sword

In ancient times, there was a tree for faith, and Wei Wan erected a tree to hang Yueshi's captives in the air, which is also to win the trust of the people.Dead is dead. I heard that none of the living survived two days, either by being stoned to death or burned to death by a bonfire.

Within three days, the standing trees of the city gate were all dead bodies.Those who heard it dared not pass.

Just when Xue Zhao thought that the city ban on Dunhuang City was about to be lifted, the Chengwei Mansion issued an order to Dunhuang City. Among them, there were regulations that those who were not soldiers were not allowed to approach the city gate, otherwise they would be executed immediately.

It is heard that 150 miles outside the city of Dunhuang, traces of Yuezhi people camping were found. Judging from the number of camp stoves, there are at least 30 people.Even if the number of camp stoves is adulterated, the number of people will definitely not be small.

The city of Dunhuang is in danger.

The atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense. Zhang Qinghe and the Yuezhi people made friends. If Wei Wan hadn't killed Zhang Qinghe this time, the Yuezhi people would not have robbed and killed merchants, or even attacked the city. This calamity was attributed to Wei Wan, the new city lord, and he asked random passers-by, but most of them were eager to try this battle, as if they were comfortable in peace, for these people, it was unbearable.

Xue Zhao didn't understand.But although she doesn't understand, others will always understand.Since Fang Hui was with Xue Zhao last time, he felt from the bottom of his heart that this girl also had a personality of a frontier fortress, and he was very speculative with him, not to mention that this girl could drink.Simply put the closure of the city here, I don't want to go where Xiao wants to go for a while, and simply stay in this inn, and Xue Zhao's appearance is the only beauty in this inn, he has no reason Don't say a few words to people.

Xue Zhao only had breakfast on the first floor of the inn. On this day, Fang Hui brought some naan bread and a bowl of porridge of his own and sat across from Xue Zhao, looking at Xue Zhao's normally raised eyebrows. Drooping down, he thought Xue Zhao was also at an age that loves to play, so he would be bored to death if he was detained like this, so he immediately offered the first of the hundred best lines to start a conversation in the wild: "What's bothering you, girl?"

"It turned out to be Brother Fang." Xue Zhao glanced at Fang Hui. Because of eating noodles, she ate the noodles in one bite, making Fang Hui wait for a long time before speaking. This was not because she was rude, But precisely because of politeness.

In the aristocratic family, there has never been anyone who eats and talks to others at the same time.

This girl's upbringing is evident.Fang Hui secretly made a note of Xue Zhao in his heart. Sure enough, well-educated people feel different even when they eat.

Xue Zhao didn't want to confide this kind of thinking at first, but he couldn't bear Fang's indirect inquiries, and he really wanted to know the answer... "Sure enough, my thinking is a bit strange, even though it's written in the book. It is said that the people of the Li people love peace, but the customs and customs of different places are always different." After Xue Zhao finished speaking, he noticed that Fang Hui's expression was a little strange, and felt that he had slipped his words for a moment.

Unexpectedly, after Fang Hui's serious face, he agreed: "What the girl said is very true, and what is said in this book is also true, but the clay figurine is still a little angry, girl, you probably don't know it." Fang Hui paused for a moment He continued: "The Yuezhi people have been grazing in the Yili River Valley for many years. This Dunhuang city was not in the Xia Dynasty. They were also the masters of Dunhuang city. There is nothing we can do about it, not to mention that Changshengtian does not always remember his people. Sometimes when there are natural disasters and the water in the Yili River does not support people, we have to fight. Since the old city owner started, we are the losers More wins, less, Zhang Qinghe... Cough, it's not unreasonable for the former city lord to be with the Yuezhi people. It's just that the reason is that we also want to make a comeback."

"Here in Anxi, whoever has the biggest fist will speak the loudest. If we win against the Yuezhi people, even our merchants in Dunhuang will be able to straighten their waists if they go out to do business." Fang Hui has no Xue Zhao is so particular, eating naan bread is drinking porridge, and the words in his mouth are vague, but with a bit of carelessness: "Besides, if you lose, you don't have to pay too much tribute. There is so much for the court, and there is no shortage of such a gift." share……"

As Fang Hui was talking, the table shook. He was drinking porridge, and his face almost fell into the bowl. It turned out that Xue Zhao clenched his fist and smashed the table. He was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Xue Zhao looked at Fang Hui's face. He didn't pay attention at first, but now he can see it clearly. Although it is also yellow-skinned and black-eyed, the outline of his face is much deeper than what she saw in Zhongyuan. Her mind must be different, she lowered her eyes, and her voice pressed her tongue: "Brother Fang, I came from it, Dunhuang City is also an important city of the imperial court, how can paying tribute to the imperial court and paying tribute to the Yuezhi people be confused? ?”

Fang Hui looked a little embarrassed: "I made a slip of the tongue."

Having said that, Xue Zhao understood.It's not that the people of Dunhuang City don't like peace, but that what they get from winning is ten times the price of losing. They just know how to do business.

Whether it was day or night, there were more and more patrol teams in Dunhuang City. Most of the food in the rice store was bought by the city lord at a high price, and the weapons in the blacksmith shop had already been sold out.After the first lunar month, spring will begin, and the weather will get warmer and warmer. In a few days, even the permafrost under the Populus euphratica tree has melted a lot.

The Yuezhi people besieged the city.

When Xue Zhao heard the news, she was still reading in the inn room. She almost tore through a copy of "Yi Jin Jing", lying on the couch, her head was like a chicken pecking at rice, bit by bit, He looks drowsy and looks like a useless person. In the past few days, the shopkeeper said that they want to save water, and each person has a daily quota of half a bucket of water. They barely wiped their bodies, but their hair can’t be washed frequently. Dunhuang’s The sun is also poisonous, and every few days, her hair is greasy, tied up like a brush end, and she is lucky not to go out, otherwise she will have no face to others, but that is to say, without water to wash her hair, she feels that she is All of a sudden, his energy was gone, and he stayed in the room every day and could only lie down.

"People from the Yuezhi... are they outside the city?" Xue Zhao heard what the waiter said, and the door opened a crack, revealing only his eyes. Fortunately, it was daytime, otherwise it would have been quite scary.

"Flags outside the city have been erected. Looking at the people on the city wall, it is dark and dense, but don't worry, my lady. The walls of our Dunhuang city are thick and high. They can't get in, and they won't win when the time comes, so stay in the city. In ten days and half a month, they will return by themselves."

I met another master who was not worried.Before closing the door, Xue Zhao only said, "I'm sorry."

The inn that Xue Zhao rented was located in the center of the city. If the waiter in the inn hadn't reported the situation regularly every day, she almost thought that Dunhuang and Yuezhi were still in peace.But it’s not far from it. Xue Zhao sometimes goes out to a restaurant to try something new, and he always meets the city lord who seems to have nothing to do.

Thinking of the time of war, the lord of a city still has the leisure to come out to drink Huadiao wine.It feels like there's no one left.Forget it, Xue Zhao covered his head with a book, turned his face sideways, and fell asleep.It's none of her business.

Wei Wan opened her fan and covered her mouth. The food she ate just now was a bit too spicy, but now her mouth is still bright red. Sitting opposite him, this time besides Shi Jian, Shen Mu is also there. Just like Shi Jian, every time Shen Mu comes They were all trying to rob him of his food, I really couldn't say it, I couldn't even hit him, seeing the servant sword wooden chopsticks left the plate, Shen Mu stretched out the chopsticks again, so he had no choice but to stretch out the chopsticks to grab food, so as not to be hungry, how could he know that he was in a hurry Underneath was a chopstick of cornel, cornel is not spicy at all, but he is not a person who can’t eat spicy food, well, no one wants to eat it now, stopped the cup and threw the chopsticks, and spoke louder: "Shen Mu, You have already inquired, talk first and then eat, okay?"

Shen Mu just took a bite of the sauced beef, so he gave Wei Wan a big roll of his eyes when he didn't care about it.The eye-rolling technique is very good. When the neck is raised, it feels like it can roll to the heels.

Wei Wan looked anxiously at Shi Jian and said, "Tell Shi Jian, does she still have me as the master in her heart?"

Shi Jian looked at Wei Wan, then at Shen Mu, held a bowl, blinked his eyes, and said, "My lord is in my heart, the Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it." Although it was a neutral attitude, it meant to protect Shen Mu It's obvious.

Wei Wan puffed up her cheeks and stopped talking. He just watched Shen Mu eat, and as he ate, Shen Mu still felt very stressed, and he had to have a sense of propriety. After a while, she wiped her mouth, That is to sit upright, put your hands on your knees, straighten your body, face Wei Wan, and say only one sentence: "I saw Zhang Qinghe in the Huotou camp of the Yuezhi people."

Shi Jian just took a big mouthful of rice, and almost choked his eyeballs out: "Didn't that fat man be chopped into meat by us? Why is he still alive?"

Shen Mu didn't speak, just looked at Wei Wan.

Wei Wan pursed her lips, her expression solemn: "I won't admit mistakes." Zhang Qinghe was hacked to death at her hands, and he was the only one who could explain the problem the most.

Shen Mu clasped his hands together: "Then this should be a counterfeit."

Wei Wan raised her eyes: "Are you happy?"

"Since it's a counterfeit, of course we should be happy." Shen Mu obviously meant more than that.

"Then I see, why don't you hurry up and go to work?" Wei Wan was about to drive people away before she started knocking on the bowl: "Then what should I do if the counterfeit products are released at the beginning, and what should I do if they are released later? It's getting warmer and warmer, Yuezhi people, it's time for them to make a big move."

Shen Mu, Shi Jian said goodbye and left.

When the two of them left the restaurant, Shen Mu watched Shi Jian walking slowly, and then stretched out his hand to pull him over: "Hurry up, hurry up, they want to eat, and seeing us two grabbing food, we can't eat any more." of."
