When the general was in distress in Gaochang, I stood still, even if the spread of the plague was unstoppable, even if the Baiyue people were staring at my Liangzhou base camp, I should put the general's safety as the top priority and rush over here immediately! "

"..."

Shen Changhe laughed angrily at her.He glanced at the old man and nodded politely: "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your rescue. However, I still have some things I want to talk to Yun Ling alone."

The old man—that is, Li Yunling's master and ghost doctor Ye Shi'an was stunned, and pointed to his nose: "You know me? It's okay, I'm a young man with knowledge—you guys talk, I'm going out first."

"Hey, master, don't go!" Li Yunling acted as Erkang's hand to keep Ye Shian, but the latter left quickly.Now that there were only two people left in the room, Li Yunling felt even more guilty. He simply bowed in the direction of his general in a hurry, and was about to leave, but was nailed to the spot by the latter's words:

"Okay, Yunling...you're fine." Shen Changhe's voice was a little cold: "It's an apology, but it's actually an absolution—you really have improved a lot."

After a pause, he said again: "Come here. Tell me, what are your 'difficulties'."

Li Yunling gritted his teeth, lowered his head and took a few steps forward.When she got closer, she realized that he was not actually angry, but there was a little smile in his eyes.Moving her gaze down to his well-shaped but scarred collarbone, and then down to see his thin layer of nails that had just grown out, she exaggeratedly called out: "You, your hand... ...How dare they use such torture!"

Shen Changhe said coldly: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Li Yunling opened his mouth, knowing that no matter how much he pretended to be stupid, he would not be able to get away with it, so he had to fight his way out: "I have already explained what should be explained. The general said that I should be Yu Tingyi and put the overall situation first. That is to say, I must never miss the military government's plan for your life and death. At that time, there was smallpox raging in Liangzhou in the southwest of my country, and there were barbarians around. Resisting Baiyue Dingbei King's iron cavalry going north, it is really useless! I... my subordinates have admired the general for a long time, but I know that public affairs are always more important than personal affairs. If the general really thinks that his subordinates have done something wrong, he will kill them to vent their anger! "

"If I were you, I would never come here to save people."

Unexpectedly, Shen Changhe quietly listened to her pouring out the bitter water, but he just called her to sit beside him, and said earnestly: "Now the Southwest's military, political and financial power is in your hands. If I am not here, all of this will be yours. As for Things like prestige can be accumulated slowly, don't be impatient."

"But I never thought... I never thought about replacing it, General!"

Li Yunling said loudly with great aggrievedness: "In the general's heart, am I actually such an unkind and unrighteous person? I, Li Yunling, have never had the slightest interest in power. I only like two things in my life: money and beauties!"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"

After hearing her answer, Shen Changhe couldn't help laughing.Li Yunling blushed like a boiled crab from his laughter, and pouted: "Really, what I'm telling is the truth, what are you laughing at?"

"Then how about you being the general's wife? Alas, it's not appropriate, I'm afraid not, madam." Shen Changhe leaned on his chin thoughtfully: "How can the general's wife be a money-grubbing and lustful guy like you?" ? Just being a bodyguard is enough."

"..." Li Yunling gave him a middle finger under his sleeve angrily.

After making Li Yunling speechless and swallowing his anger, Shen Changhe's mood suddenly improved.He laughed for a while like an elementary school student who succeeded in playing a prank, and then said seriously: "How many people did you bring?"

"There were people from Emperor Gaochang staring at me before, so I had to sneak back secretly, so there were only 500 people in total. But don't worry, the general, it wouldn't take much for us to return home..."

"Who said I want to go back?" Shen Changhe shook his head with a smile, his deep green eyes flickered coldly: "The show is not over yet, so we can't leave early."

Revenge ([-])

For Zhang Mu, Shen Changhe's safe return is undoubtedly a great joy.

A few days after the boss came back, everything was back on track.The five hundred or so people that Li Yunling secretly brought came in handy soon——

The officers and soldiers in the ancient city of Kashgar were still desperately resisting the increasingly fierce attack of the rebels, but they were about to lose; When a small group of people came and said they would help them "suppress the bandits", they didn't even bother to doubt it, they just raised their guns and were about to shoot!

"We are merchants from the state of Qin, and we are not bad people. Please hold your hand high!"

The green-eyed man has a high nose, deep eyes, and a thin face. He is clearly a Tocharian in both his attire and appearance, but he speaks standard Central Plains mandarin.The officers and soldiers looked at each other face to face, the leader made a gesture to stop firing, and shouted in Persian: "Raise your hands and don't move, stand where you are!"

When he got closer, the leader realized that he was tall and handsome, not at all like the usual thick and strong men from the Western Regions, but the corners of his eyes and skin were full of wrinkles, obviously he was not young.He was about to tear off his mask, but the latter grabbed his arm and said with a smile in blunt Persian: "I was injured by Turkic bandits on the way back from the Central Plains, and my face was injured. It's really amazing, why don't you watch it, Mr. Jun?"

"Don't look, how do I know you're not a spy!" The leader sneered, pulled off his veil in disregard of his objection, then stepped back half a step with his eyes wide open, apparently startled:

This person is really disfigured!

The man saw that he looked like he had seen a ghost, so he covered his face again, took out the customs clearance certificate and handed it to him with some embarrassment, still babbling in broken Persian: "Oh, to be honest, I have lived here for a long time. For more than 20 years in the Central Plains, I have spoken the Central Plains dialect with my wife and children at home. After a long time, I can’t speak my mother tongue very well. This time I finally returned to my home, but was chased by Turkic people for several streets on the way, which scared me and my servants You guys fled to Guibao Land, don’t be surprised!”

After finishing speaking, he stuffed a few large banknotes into the leader's hand, and smiled more and more flatteringly: "A little meaning is not a respect, it is not a respect, hahahaha."

"..." He raised his hand without slapping the smiling face, and besides this man, everyone else was from Qin rather than suspected Turks. The leader somewhat let go of his guard and checked their luggage routinely. , then waved and ordered the city gate to be opened.The green-eyed man immediately put his hands together in front of his chest, and said loudly, "Thank you very much, may the Buddha bless you, Lord Jun!"

"Thank you, and may the God of Light bless you...brother." The leader also smiled jerky at him.

After entering the city and finding a place to stay, the "businessman" took off his hat and tore off his disguise, suppressed the smile on his face, and turned around to look at his "wife" expressionlessly: "Have you laughed enough?"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha... General, your devilish acting skills, 'may Buddha bless you'? What the hell is this, did you fucking believe in Buddha, an atheist? No, it's too funny hahahahahahahaha! "

Li Yunling laughed so hard that he almost rolled on the ground, and pulled the silly-looking Zhang Mu over: "Thank you for coming up with this script—let me play your wife, let Zhang Mu play our son? You have a small round face with single eyelids, if the officer had really looked at his face just now, he would have thought I put a green hat on you!"

"Damn, Xiao Li, what are you talking about?" Zhang Mu patted her hand away in dissatisfaction, and hooked Shen Changhe's left shoulder: "Single eyelid provoked you, have you eaten your rice? Prefer sex over friends , An unscrupulous bastard! Hmph, don’t you think that this adjutant is getting closer to Zhu Zhechi, and he’s getting more and more handsome recently?”

"Hey, general," Li Yunling put his hand on Shen Changhe's right shoulder with a smile: "He said you are a pig! You won't beat him up if you don't hit the house for three days?"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them each received a heavy blow on the forehead, and they screamed together in pain.Shen Changhe clapped his hands, with a kind smile on his face: "Father guides sons, husband guides wives -- no matter how talkative you two are, be careful, master, and I will take care of you at home."

"Wife" and "son" immediately withered, and lowered their heads obediently: "Yes, General."

Although a few people were fighting and talking and laughing, and their relationship seemed to be getting better and better, Li Yunling always felt that he seemed to be different from before.However, before she had time to savor the changes carefully, the defense line of the Gaochang defenders had already been breached by the rebels!

These Unitarian rebels are mainly composed of Turks.According to the usual practice, every time they break through a city, they will burn, kill, loot, and rape *virgins—because, according to the teachings of monotheism, opening up the territory for the supreme true god is the greatest contribution to the pope, and they are eligible Enjoy up to 81 maidens who are still virgins on earth and heaven.

This time is no exception.However, before these Unitarians started to "do business", the rebels who originally planned to take a rest and recharge their batteries were attacked by unknown forces.In the beginning, it was just that someone fired cold shots and occasionally killed a few soldiers, but when the top rebels really paid attention to it, this intermittent "stealing and plotting" has evolved into street fighting!

The rebels' siege relied on their superiority in numbers, but their individual combat capabilities were relatively weak.Although there are not many "enemies" in these sneak attacks, almost all of them are good hand-to-hand fighters. They are very experienced in the combat method of street fighting, and they will use the terrain to avoid the opponent's charge in time
