Chapter 46 Xiangguan
After encountering that group of Wuhuan people, Gongsun Yan and his party no longer encountered obstacles on their way.
A dozen good Wuhuan horses were captured, and they galloped with all their might without hesitation.
He ran like this with all his strength, and two hours later, a pass made of rammed earth loomed on the horizon.
Xiangguan, here we come.
Zhao Yun whistled and slowly slowed down his horse, and Xia Houlan also slowed down in cooperation.
"Ms. Gongsun, let's rest here for a while." Zhao Yun said softly to Gongsun Yan, who was sitting in his arms and looking a little pale after the bumpy journey: "Let's rest here for a while and refresh ourselves."
"Yes!" Gongsun Yan nodded. She was carried off the horse by Zhao Yun obediently and licked her chapped lips.
He took off Gongsun Cheng's small schoolbag from the saddle of the other horse and took out the bread and energy drink he had prepared earlier.
"Zilong, Zixiu." She said hello and threw the things in her hands to Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan respectively, "Eat a little first."
Needless to say, Xia Houlan, who grew up with him, and even Gongsun Yan could guess Zhao Yun's intention of stopping to rest in front of Xiangguan.
According to the confession of the seriously injured Wuhuan young man, these Wuhuan people had horse business dealings with the Gongsun family.
The news that was secretly passed to the head of the Gongsun family was not only leaked, but also leaked so quickly.
The other party arrogantly led a thousand cavalry troops to intercept and kill the Gongsun family members on their territory.
Although Tian Kai had repeatedly said that the head of the Gongsun family was the grandfather of Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Cheng, he would never attack them even for the sake of his own prestige.
However, after the death of Gongsun Zan, will the head of the Gongsun family still have control over the Gongsun family?
Has anyone in the Gongsun family changed their minds?
What is the attitude of Gongsunda, the general guarding Xiangguan?
They are now destitute of people and horses, so they will inevitably be passive when facing these unknown problems.
It's better to take a break first or two and recharge your batteries.
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan took back the bread and energy drinks thrown by Gongsun Yan.
The bread was the whole wheat bread stuffed with bean paste that Gongsun Yan often fed them. It was big and firm. In the past, Xia Houlan liked it very much, but now he took it, with a look of worry on his face.
"Ms. Gongsun." Xia Houlan came closer, holding Gongsun Cheng in front of her with one hand, and untying the knot behind her with the other hand, "The young master seems to have a fever."
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan and Zhao Yun were both shocked.
Gongsun Yan hurriedly took Gongsun Cheng from Xia Houlan's arms.
At a glance, he was seen wrapped in a parcel, his face flushed, and his breathing rapid.
He opened his eyes with great effort, perhaps realizing that he was back in his sister's arms. He became more energetic, raised his hands and hugged Gongsun Yan's neck, burying his face in her shoulder.
Gongsun Yan patted his back, hugged him and shook him.
Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to test his forehead with the back of his fingers and said, "Ms. Gongsun, please don't worry. He must have been frightened. If you cultivate yourself well in the future, it will be fine."
"Yes." Gongsun Yan responded softly, pressing his face against Gongsun Cheng's hot forehead.
"Would you like some water?" Gongsun Yan coaxed Gongsun Cheng softly, and then said to Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan: "Don't worry, I will take care of Acheng. You guys should eat and rest first."
With that said, Gongsun Yan limped and hugged Gongsun Cheng, walked to a stone beside the road and sat down.
For two hours, even with Zhao Yun holding her all the way, she still suffered a lot.
The inside of his legs rubbed against the rawhide saddle, and a layer of skin was rubbed off, causing a burning pain when he moved around.
Gongsun Yan endured the pain and sat on the stone with Gongsun Cheng in his arms.
Zhao Yun unscrewed the energy drink Gongsun Yan gave him and handed it over.
Gongsun Yan thanked him but didn't take it, "It contains excitement. Cheng is too young to drink it. Drink it yourself."
"What about you?" Zhao Yun frowned and glanced at Gongsun Yan's chapped lips.
Gongsun Yan burst out laughing: "I can still control my own food and drink, so don't worry about me."
Although Zhao Yun was still a little worried after hearing this, he was able to distinguish the priorities clearly. He turned around and went to feed the horse first like Xia Houlan, while he stuffed the bread into his stomach and drank the drink in one gulp.
Gongsun Yan didn't waste any time. Seeing that Xia Houlan was also eating and feeding the horses without paying attention, she opened the system trader and bought a bottle of salty lemonade.
Gongsun Cheng was not in good spirits. He was so sleepy that he did not even want to open his mouth to drink water.
Gongsun Yan patted his back and coaxed him to drink some!She also wanted him to eat some bread, but the child closed his eyes and shook his head sadly.
She had no choice but to hold him while she took a few mouthfuls of bread and drank a few mouthfuls of water.
Worried about the physical problems she would have to solve on the way, she did not dare to drink water before setting off.
I vomited everything in the middle, and my stomach was empty now. I felt better after eating a few mouthfuls of bread.
While eating, Gongsun Yan turned on the system and used the system's daily free treatment.
Generally speaking, she keeps it for emergencies until the day passes without incident, and then uses it before refreshing based on the principle of not wasting.
But there is a need to use it at this moment. If the situation in Xiangguan is not right, she needs a pair of flexible legs.
After the free treatment, the burning and aching areas on the inner thighs were immediately relieved.
Although the tender flesh will not heal immediately, at least the pain will be relieved and it will no longer affect her ability to walk, sit or lie down.Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan fed the horses they brought out enough and wiped the sweat off their bodies.
The few Wuhuan horses that were captured later did not receive such good treatment. They only gnawed some dead branches and grass roots that were exposed on the ground.
Soon, after everyone had rested, Zhao Yun looked at the sun and announced his departure.
Gongsun Cheng, who fell asleep in a daze, grabbed Gongsun Yan's clothes with his hand. Gongsun Yan cruelly opened his little hand and handed him over to Xia Houlan.
She wiped her face clean, put down her tied ponytail, combed her hair, and put it back into a bun suitable for this era.
The situation in Xiangguan is unknown, and I don't know what the situation will be like facing Gongsun's family. She needs to have a decent image and cannot look too embarrassed.
After being completely rested, several people mounted their horses again and galloped towards Xiangguan not far away.
At this time, Xiangguan City was at its head.
A middle-aged man with a huge scar on his right cheek was walking worriedly behind the parapet.
"How long have those two uncles taken people out of seclusion?"
Perhaps out of worry, the middle-aged man's face turned red, and the scars running from his jaw to the corners of his eyes looked even more hideous.
"Almost five hours." The general next to the middle-aged man replied.
Hearing the general's answer, the middle-aged man became even more irritated.
"The Lingzhi family are all trash. Even the news about Brother Bogui and his bloodline has been leaked."
"How long will Gongsun Jing continue to indulge that Wuhuan bastard?"
The middle-aged man was Gongsunda, the guard general of Xiangguan Pass. His beard spread out like an angry leopard, and he cursed angrily, "In the past, I showed off my power and could tolerate it, but now I dare to send troops privately to the south, that little bastard What's your idea?"
"Ada! Be careful what you say!"
Seeing that what he said was inappropriate and that he had implicated Gongsun Jing, the eldest son of the current head of the family and the heir to the next head of the house, Zuo Ping, the silent veteran on the side, hurriedly stopped.
Zhang Zhu and Wang Wu went to report the news, and Zuo Ping was ordered to bring a group of subordinates to greet the Gongsun siblings.
As the most senior general of the Gongsun family, although his surname was not Gongsun, he still held a prestigious position in the Gongsun family. At this time, he spoke out and shouted, but Gongsun Dazong was still dissatisfied, so he stopped talking for a while.
Zuo Ping was not angry at all. He had followed the head of the Gongsun family when he was young, and for many years he had attached himself to the honor and disgrace of the Gongsun family.
He was equally angry in the face of such a provocation, but there were some words he couldn't hear or say.
"Don't be impatient. It's not yet certain whether Aduna really led his troops south, and it's still not sure what his purpose is. It's just that the two uncles returned late. Why should Aduna be so anxious."
Hearing this, Gongsunda sneered, "If Uncle Ping is not in a hurry, why bother sending someone back quickly to report the news?"
"A certain person is responsible for guarding the pass. He dare not leave without permission. He actually allowed others to take advantage of such a loophole." Gongsunda, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, took off his helmet and threw it to the ground. "This time, if Brother Bogui has a pair of If something goes wrong with my children, even if I break up with him, Gongsun Jing, I will skin that little bastard."
Zuo Ping gritted his teeth and tightened his jaw when he heard this. If the news that Aduna secretly sent troops from Qian'an had come out one day earlier, why would they have been so passive?
Now Xiangguan is full of probing cavalry but there is no news. I am afraid that Aduna has bypassed Xiangguan and headed south.
He knew very well in his heart what the purpose of Aduna's troops was and where his sword was pointing.
Qiu Liju, the last Wuhuan master, was Aduna's maternal grandfather.
After the Battle of Guanzicheng, Gongsun Zan, who survived, carried out bloody revenge on the Qiu Liju tribe, as if to wipe out the roots.
Aduna must have had evil intentions in his trip.
Zuo Ping's heart was boiling with anger. As a loyal man, he was secretly dissatisfied with Gongsun Jing, whom he had always respected and valued.
If it weren't for his connivance and cover-up, why would Aduna be so bold?
If he hadn't been careless, how could the news have leaked out, causing Aduna to act so quickly?
Gongsun Zan was defeated and died, but his children were of the Gongsun family's blood and the family head's roots anyway, so there was no room for someone... to spoil his idea.
This is a great provocation to the dignity and face of the Gongsun family.
Zuo Ping took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Now he only hoped that Ling Zhi would give an order as soon as possible and ask Gongsunda to come out of seclusion to take care of him.
Aduna's thousands of cavalrymen, only Gongsunda's iron cavalry could compete with them near Xiangguan.
Thousands of cavalry and Hu cavalry went south. There was no supplies and they had to plunder. It was unknown how many villages in Beibunbaowu would suffer.
Thinking of this, Zuo Ping just wanted to grit his teeth.
When the two of them were furious, Gongsunda's generals saw several cavalry running wildly from outside the pass.
A tall man took off the bow from his saddle, took out something from his arms, tied it to an arrow, and then opened his bow and shot toward the city gate.
The general hurriedly pulled Gongsunda behind him to protect him, and Zuo Ping's followers also reacted in different ways.
There was just a sound, and the arrow that shot out like lightning hit the wooden pillars of the city tower with a sharp roar, and the tail of the arrow was trembling.
Gongsunda and Zuo Ping also noticed the person coming and the white horses on their crotches. They looked at each other and felt inexplicable anxiety in their hearts.
It's white horse Yi Cong.
