Jinyiwei factory flower base love story
Chapter 178
Sufficient food and water were supplied in Liangzhou, and Gu Huaiqing and Yingwei Xiaohei embarked on the journey again on their newly acquired horses.
From Liangzhou to Jiayuguan, all the way is the Loess Plateau, the sky is full of wind and sand, and the arid and barren soil is not suitable for farming, and the main livelihood is animal husbandry.
Gu Huaiqing rode the rouge horse Chixia, while Xiao Hei straddled the white horse Xuelian. gratitude.
In the morning and noon, the scorching sun shines directly on the endless scorched land without a trace of greenery, which makes people feel thirsty.
Gu Huaiqing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Xiao Hei: "Let's find a place to rest, eat something before leaving, and give the horse some water."
Xiao Hei nodded, agreeing.
The two rode along the dusty official road for a few more miles, and came to a fork in the road. Suddenly, the rouge horse flapped its nose, raised its head and let out a loud cry. A path to run.
It is said that old horses know the way. In fact, horses are very smart animals. They not only know the way, but also find food and water.
A clear small river appeared in front of it, with green and lush vegetation growing on both sides of the river. Needless to say, there must be people living in such a lush place.
Gu Huaiqing and Xiao Hei rode their horses forward, and they saw fields and houses in front of them, which looked like a small village.Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, there is a sign with the roots of the old tree, with the three characters of Baihe Village written on it.
The two dismounted at the entrance of the village, and were about to enter the village to rest, when suddenly Chixia neighed uncomfortably, shook her neck, and kicked her hooves anxiously, refusing to go any further.
Xiao Hei sniffed against the wind direction, his face changed slightly, and said, "I seem to smell a bloody smell."
Gu Huaiqing also noticed that the surroundings were abnormally quiet. Logically speaking, a village with people in it should not be so silent.Just wondering, suddenly a few fat dogs rushed out from the village, barking at them viciously, and after being chased away by Xiao Hei, they stood in the distance without giving up, drooling from their mouths , with green light in his eyes.
Gu Huaiqing's heart sank, his fingers secretly tapped the sky silk, and he rushed into the village quickly.His movements were so fast, like a wisp of green smoke, Xiao Hei had no time to stop him, so he had to follow closely.
After entering the village, there were dark red bloodstains on the road, and the fences and door panels were chopped down and looked like they had been looted.
Gu Huaiqing walked into a farmhouse, and a strong smell of blood mixed with rancid smell came over his face. An old man and an old woman were decapitated and fell by the stove. It seemed that they were killed while cooking. The corpse had begun to decompose, emitting a foul stench.Everything in the house was smashed to pieces, and all valuables and food were looted.
The smell of blood made Gu Huaiqing feel nauseous, but Xiao Hei still remained calm, bent over to examine the wound of the deceased, and said, "It should be that the neck was cut off with a knife. tidy."
The two exited the farmhouse, and the door of a room next to it was opened. The two walked in, and the scene they saw was even more shocking.A young woman who was pregnant with Liujia died naked on the bed, her legs were spread wide, and the bedding under her body was dark red. It seemed that she had been brutally violated before she died.
In the small room next door, a girl who was only two or three years old was nailed to the door with a machete, and even her intestines flowed out.Following the smell of blood, two wild dogs were gnawing at the child's body.
No wonder there is no one in the village, but there are so many fat and strong wild dogs, so that's how they came here!
Gu Huaiqing's face turned pale, and he almost vomited. Xiao Hei also suppressed his nausea, stepped forward and swung his sword to kill the wild dog, and dragged Gu Huaiqing out of the house.
The two walked around the village and found that there was no one alive. Dozens of people in the entire village were slaughtered, money, food, and livestock were looted, regardless of the old and weak, women and children, the cruelty was outrageous. .
"It's a beast! A beast! Inhumane! Who did this?" Gu Huaiqing asked indignantly.
"Judging from the scimitar, it should be done by the Tatars. This place is not far from the border. The Tatars are good at riding and shooting, and like to sneak attack. They often cross the border to fight the autumn wind, murder and robbery, and do all kinds of evil!" Xiao Hei Su was indifferent. There was also anger on his face.
"Isn't Old General Hou stationed at the border? How could the bandits be so arrogant, entering and exiting our country to behave like they were in an uninhabited land?"
"The Tatar cavalry is difficult to deal with. It is inevitable that they will take advantage of the loopholes. It is just pity for the innocent people..." Xiao Hei sighed and frowned, "It seems that the people here It has been a few days since I died, and the plague will easily breed after a long time, so it is better for us to leave as soon as possible."
Gu Huaiqing took a look at the wild dogs wandering around in the distance, and said, "Could it be that they are allowed to expose their corpses here and be eaten by wild dogs?"
Xiao Hei looked at Gu Huaiqing's slightly pale face, and comforted him: "Master, don't worry, you take Chixia and Xuelian out of the village first, and I have my own way to deal with the corpse."
Gu Huaiqing led two horses and walked to the entrance of the village. As soon as he turned around, he saw thick smoke billowing and flames flying in the village.Xiao Hei poured tung oil on the thatched roof, then lit it with a torch, burning the body of the deceased and the whole village.
Gu Huaiqing sighed. It seems that this is the only proper way to deal with it. It is better to incinerate the corpse than to be eaten by wild dogs. Besides, if the corpse is not disposed of, it will breed plague and spread with the water source, causing endless harm.
Gu Huaiqing couldn't help but think of Duan Mingchen who was sent to the front to help in the war. Although he often heard people talk about the brutality of the Tatars and the miserable experience of the people on the border, he had never witnessed it with his own eyes, and the feeling was not so strong.Now that he is on the ground and in person, he can truly feel the pain and anger, and he wants to see his brother Duan even more urgently.
Xiao Hei quickly set the fire and ran out to join Gu Huaiqing.After being disturbed by this incident, neither of them was in the mood to rest and eat. After leaving the village, they stopped at the side of the road and fed the horses with water from the cowhide bags.
Gu Huaiqing touched Chixia's head, and Chixia sensibly rubbed against his hand, licking the clear water on his palm.
Xiao Hei saw that the blood had returned to Gu Huaiqing's face, and felt relieved, and said, "Master, are we going to Jiayuguan next?"
Gu Huaiqing nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to visit a friend there, and then we'll go west to Wusun."
Xiao Hei nodded knowingly, and didn't ask who he was looking for.The shadow guard is good at this, absolutely obeying the master's orders, not talking too much, and saving Gu Huaiqing from explaining.
The two of them rode their horses to Jiayuguan. The horses had strong legs, and Gu Huaiqing was eager to see his sweetheart as soon as possible. They galloped all the way, and finally arrived at Jiayuguan in the evening.
Under the blood-red sunset, a majestic and majestic pass stands in the yellow sand desert. Jiayuguan is located in the middle of a narrow valley, and the city walls on both sides cross the Gobi desert.
Jiayuguan is the westernmost end of the Great Wall. The winding Great Wall ends here. It is the only place on the Silk Road and the junction of Daqi and Tatar.
Once Jiayuguan falls, the Hu people in the northwest can move their troops southward and spread all over the Central Plains. Therefore, Jiayuguan has been a battleground for military strategists throughout the ages, and it has an extremely important position in strategy.
Looking at the towering city tower, Gu Huaiqing felt a surge of excitement in his heart. It has been more than ten days since he left the capital. I wonder if Duan Mingchen would be surprised to see him suddenly?
The corner of Gu Huaiqing's mouth was slightly raised, and Chi Xia felt her master's eagerness, and rushed towards the city gate like an arrow.
Unexpectedly, when he got to the bottom of the city tower, he was unceremoniously stopped by the guards: "Hey, who is it?"
Gu Huaiqing had no choice but to get off the horse. Considering that he was acting according to the emperor's secret decree this time, he could not reveal his true identity, so he made up his identity casually, and clasped his fists and said: "My surname is Gu, and I am the third eldest. I came from the capital. That one It's my sworn brother, Mo Qi. Commander of Jin Yiwei, Master Duan is my old friend, I'm here to visit, please let him know."
Unexpectedly, the two soldiers burst out laughing when they heard the words. Soldier A pointed at Gu Huaiqing's nose, and said mockingly: "This is a mess, who would come from the capital to visit friends at the front line? Are you kidding me, editor?" Anyway, the lies are made up a bit more decently!"
Soldier B also laughed and said: "Yes, yes! Speaking of which, last time there was an assassin who pretended to be a friend of General Hou, saying that he had come to join the army? As soon as General Hou came out, the assassin immediately attacked, It’s a good young general with high martial arts skills, so he was not injured by the assassin.”
"Yes, yes, we have to polish our tricks, but we can't let spies into the city!"
These two soldiers actually regarded him as a spy sent by the enemy?Gu Huaiqing was so angry that he said angrily, "Fart! Keep your eyes open, how can you look like a spy?"
"Hehe! You don't look like a pretty face, but you have a big temper!" Soldier A pushed Gu Huaiqing arrogantly, "Let's go! Idle people can't wait to enter the city!"
Seeing that Gu Huaiqing's face was sullen, Xiao Hei clenched his fists, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Brother Soldier, to tell you the truth, we do have something important to see Mr. Duan, if you don't report it, just in case Mr. Duan finds out After you blame it, you will not be exempt from responsibility."
Soldier B was dubious, but Xiao Hei's words were not unreasonable, so he softened his tone and said, "It's not that we make things difficult for you, it's because the war is tense. General Hou ordered the city gate to be under martial law, and no strangers are allowed to enter the city. Besides, Duan My lord is going out with the army, and he is not in the city at this time."
Xiao Hei looked at Gu Huaiqing helplessly, but Gu Huaiqing couldn't hide his inner disappointment, and asked persistently, "When will Mr. Duan return to the city?"
Soldier B shook his head and said, "How do I know this? The battlefield is unpredictable, and there is no telling when you will be able to return. This is not a fun place. I advise you to leave quickly to avoid being accidentally injured."
Is it really just a matter of fate?Gu Huaiqing was really unwilling to make this trip in vain, but if he continued to wait, he didn't know when Duan Mingchen would return, and the emperor's mission had to be completed.
Just when Gu Huaiqing was in a dilemma, a familiar voice came from the tower: "Brother Gu!"
From Liangzhou to Jiayuguan, all the way is the Loess Plateau, the sky is full of wind and sand, and the arid and barren soil is not suitable for farming, and the main livelihood is animal husbandry.
Gu Huaiqing rode the rouge horse Chixia, while Xiao Hei straddled the white horse Xuelian. gratitude.
