Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

According to Tieniu, it was a caravan that caused the trouble ahead. Fortunately, with Tieniu's help, the old man and the head of the caravan are also good talkers. It subsided quickly.

Before going out for the expedition, Yang Wei did say that he should not cause trouble on the road, and that it is best not to meddle in other people's business. However, when it was implemented in practice, Yang Wei found that it was impossible for him to care about other people's business. The sense of justice sometimes even looks like a disease, but this inherent habit can't be changed.In the later generations, the distorted social outlook and values ​​made people extremely indifferent to the relationship between people, and doing good deeds would even bring troubles to themselves. All kinds of news often made Yang Wei miserable, and all of this in this era , In front of Yang Wei, who holds the military power in his hand, he can finally change.

After dealing with this episode, Yang Wei's troops accelerated their march and finally arrived at Khotan County before the sunset.

Khotan is located at the southernmost tip of the vast Xinjiang. There are Kunlun Mountains and Karakorum Mountains in the south, and it is adjacent to Tibet. It reaches the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert in the north and is connected to Aksu. Although the terrain is not complicated, it has become an important border town because of its border .

The ancient town stands between the mountains and the desert. It has been baptized by wind and sand for thousands of years and has not fallen down. On the contrary, it is full of ancient charm due to the tempering of the years. Looking at the city wall riddled with holes from afar, Yang Wei's heart Emotion.Blood quenching mountains and rivers 349

Yang Wei's troops stationed in the south of Khotan, and Yang Wei, the commander of the army, brought Tie Niu and others to live in Khotan Town. As soon as he entered the town, Yang Wei saw many foreign businessmen. Knowing that they are all tourists who come here for beautiful jade, they linger in the jade shops lined up on both sides of the street.

Unlike Yang Wei, what Tieniu pays attention to the most is not the jade, but the food on the street. Due to the economic development driven by the local jade, Khotan, which is located on the border, is much more lively than Yumen, and there are many streets specially prepared for foreign businessmen The Zhongyuan restaurants here are mostly Xinjiang specialties. In the evening, the aromas of roasted whole lamb, naan barbecue and hand-picked rice wafted in the air. Tieniu swallowed his saliva and looked pitifully at With Yang Wei.

Yang Wei pretended to ignore Tieniu's expression, but walked straight into the largest restaurant he had seen since entering the county. Tieniu immediately became lively and followed Yang Wei into the restaurant.

Although Hetian County is located at the border, the Uighurs in the restaurant can speak Chinese very smoothly. It is presumably because there are businessmen from the Central Plains in this town who often hang around here, so there is no pressure to communicate. Yang Wei quickly ordered The dishes on a large table are all the signature dishes recommended by the Uyghur man. Just after listening to the man’s introduction, one can imagine how delicious the food is, especially for people who have been on the road for many days and can only rely on dry food to survive. , even more salivating.

The sky outside the window had already darkened, and Tieniu stood honestly beside Yang Wei, gearing up and waiting for his big mouth to move. Yang Wei waved to Tieniu, and the impatient Tieniu didn't have the heart to think about what Yang Wei meant, thinking about himself Allowing himself to sit down to eat, he opened the stool and prepared to sit down. Yang Wei sighed and said, "Is it so impatient?"

The simple and honest Tieniu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yang Wei aggrievedly, although he didn't say a word, his eyes already showed dissatisfaction and sorrow, Yang Wei said helplessly: "You go to the station to get some things and come back The woman is vicious, and the black-bellied national teacher please teach me to read the full text."

On the way to Khotan, Yang Wei accidentally caught wind and cold. After being reminded by Fang Shaohua, Yang Wei remembered that he did have some common medicines that he carried with him. When they separated, Bailu prepared it for herself. At that time, Yang Wei didn't have any special feelings. It wasn't until now when she needed to use it that she suddenly realized that this woman who usually looks strong and domineering actually has a considerate and careful side. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

With Tieniu's footsteps, there is absolutely no problem going back and forth from the town to the resident before the meal is served. Yang Wei calmly looked at the scenery outside the window and waited, but what Yang Wei didn't expect was to wait until When all the food and drink were served, Tieniu never showed up, which made Yang Wei worried. After all, he was a newcomer and didn't know much about the situation in Khotan County, let alone what forces existed there, so he entered the city in a low-key manner. , Could it be that Tieniu encountered some misfortune on the way?

The food has gradually lost the temperature just out of the pot, and the cold meat makes people lose the desire to eat. Yang Wei stood up, and was about to order the guards outside the door to check the situation, but when he opened the door, he was panting. The iron bull rushed in with a black sack on his shoulders. Upon closer inspection, the sack was still writhing.

Yang Wei took a step back, looked puzzled at the sack on Tieniu's shoulder, and asked in surprise, "You...could you have stolen someone's sheep?"

Tieniu didn't speak, but threw the sack on his shoulder to the ground in a muffled voice, and the sack let out a childish scream. With the help of the flickering light, Yang Wei realized that it wasn't a sack that fell on the ground. A young woman, who looked no older than her age, was dressed in black night clothes. At a glance, she really looked like a sack, and she wouldn't think of any woman at all.

However, to Tieniu, there is no difference between a woman and a sack, but Yang Wei accidentally ignored this characteristic of Tieniu.

The woman who was thrown on the ground rolled twice, got up from the ground without saying a word, picked up the stool at the side without saying a word, grabbed the legs of the stool with both hands, and rushed towards the iron bull with teeth and claws. Looking at that weak look, Yang Wei not only didn't worry about what the woman would do to Tieniu, but was afraid that she would accidentally hurt him.

Looking at the stool that was thrown at him head-on, Tieniu calmly took the move with one hand, and grasped the leg of the stool effortlessly. On the contrary, the woman couldn't break free for a while. Scene, Yang Weidun felt helpless in his heart and didn't know what to do, so he asked Tieniu helplessly: "What's going on? I just asked you to go back to get the 'medicine'. Who told you to pick up a girl?" return?"

Tie Niu was able to parry the girl with only one hand, looked at Yang Wei effortlessly, and explained with a deadpan expression: "Report to the commander, this little girl is a thief."

It turned out that on the way back, Tieniu, who was full of delicacies on the table, deliberately found a shortcut, but when he was passing through the alley, the girl just fell from the sky and fell on Tieniu impartially.

The befuddled Tie Niu got up from the ground, looked at the woman's attire, and saw the jade object falling from her body, and immediately realized that this woman was the three hands who turned over the wall.With Yang Wei's amnesty order of "doing something and not doing it", Tieniu couldn't care whether it was nosy or not, so he brought the girl back without saying a word.

After hearing Tieniu's laborious explanation, Yang Weidun felt a headache, frowned and said: "Since she is a thief, why don't you just hand her over to the person who was stolen? What is meddling? If no one decides Next, it’s right to see injustice on the road, but it’s obvious that someone can take responsibility for it, but you still want to “insert” a hand, it’s not called meddling in other’s business!”

Tie Niu looked at the struggling girl beside him, then at the whole table full of delicacies from mountains and seas, swallowed his saliva and said innocently, "Then shall I send her back now?"

Yang Wei was about to nod, but at this moment, Yang Wei finally had a chance to look at the girl in front of him carefully, and immediately frowned. --
