You can't put your eggs in the same basket, and you can't put all your hopes on Xiaobai, on the way to Khotanese Town, Kuro and Ajun led the tiger-headed team members who are good at reconnaissance and quietly spread the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

At the same time, the golden vulture named Xiaobai frequently hovers over the border of Khotan.

The town guard of Khotan Town, surnamed Tang, with a single name and a wide character, was one of the four town guards of Anxi, and was a little surprised by Zheng Peng's arrival, and warmly invited Zheng Peng to be stationed in the town, and Zheng Peng stationed the escort team in some places about fifteen miles south of Khotanese Town in the name of avoiding disturbance to the people, mainly to facilitate movement.

It is inconvenient to be stationed in the town, you must know that Khotan Town is an important military town, heavily guarded, and Tang Kuan's warrant is required to release it during the special period, so I am afraid that there will be an elbow at the critical time.

Zheng Peng wanted to station the guards outside the town, but Tang Kuan just politely said, and soon Zheng Peng went.

Set up camp and send scouts to stand guard, Zheng Peng, Guo Ziyi, Lan Duo and others sat in the makeshift barracks, drinking the hot tea sent from below, chatting casually:

At this time, a cold wind blew in through the gap, and Lan Duo looked at the empty barracks, and couldn't help but shiver, and said while roasting the fire: "How long do birds in this place have to stay here?" ”

"It won't take long" Zheng Peng said with a relaxed face: "The Tang Dynasty will launch an attack on Tubo and Dashi in the beginning of spring, and Tubo will definitely not be able to delay that time, I asked Kuro, and now it is only a month before the beginning of spring is full, that is, no matter how bad the luck is, it is to live here for a month." ”

Once the horn of war is sounded, although Zhang Xiaosong did not make a request, as the deputy supervisor, Zheng Peng will definitely accompany the army.

"Well, I hope that this month, the county lord can earn a lot of rouge money." Lando said expectantly.

Lan Duo is a native of the Western Regions, and he has long been accustomed to the climate here, and he is not the kind of pampered delicate woman, who runs here to adventure on boring days, and feels inexplicably excited and exciting for Lan Duo.

Zheng Peng said with a relaxed face: "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, anyway, where is the big winter is a cat, idle is also idle, toss, boring to play cards, hunting or something, time is easy to pass." ”

"Third brother, you have to go to Khotan Town occasionally to inspect military affairs or something, or you have to go so far and be stationed here, it looks a little eye-catching." Guo Ziyi reminded on the side.

"You know, how much you have to make a show." Zheng Peng responded in one bite.

It was too simple to find an excuse, Zheng Peng came to Khotan Town in the name of inspecting military affairs, and then released a rumor, saying that he was infected with wind and cold on the way, and it became reasonable to stay in the station to recuperate.

Kuro and his capable personnel were deployed at the border between Khotan Town and Tubo, and the bird slaves under the command of Lan Duo were also dispatched, even the Afghan army also led people to investigate the news, and then Guo Ziyi coordinated and arranged, Zheng Peng was completely idle, and followed Guo Ziyi to train the escort team for a while, played cards with Lan Duo for a while, and went to the wild to hunt on a whim.

In winter, there are many prey that can't bear to be hungry and come out to forage, such as hares, wild sheep, wolves, wild cattle, etc., if you are lucky, you can add food at night, but you can't catch the prey, and it is not bad to see the unique original ecological environment in the Western Regions.

On this day, Zheng Peng took Cao Feng and Lu Jin to hunt together.

After wandering around for a long time, when I thought I was going to go back to the camp empty-handed, I accidentally found a fat hare, Cao Feng's archery was very good, and he shot the hare with an arrow, but unfortunately he didn't hit the vital point, the hare ran away with the arrow all the way, Zheng Peng was unwilling to go back empty-handed, and saw that the road was not easy to walk, turned over and dismounted, and chased after him.

If he went back empty-handed, Landor would definitely have to sneer again.

Seeing Zheng Peng follow, Cao Feng motioned to Lu Jin to take care of the horses, and he hurriedly followed.

The hare that was hit by the arrow ran for about a quarter of an hour, and finally fell down on a big rock on the side of the road because of excessive bleeding, Zheng Peng lifted it up with one hand, carried the weight, and was happy, at least seven or eight catties, and said happily: "This guy is so fat, tonight's braised rabbit has fallen." ”

"Congratulations to Zheng Jianjun for hunting a big hare." Cao Feng, who followed behind, complimented.

"Hypocrisy, it's obvious that you shot it, so and so you just picked it up and yourself... Wait, the sound of horses' hooves, is there a situation? Zheng Peng's expression suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said.

I faintly heard the sound of horses crying, and there were quite a few people listening to the number.

Is there a situation? It's impossible, this is the camp of the escort team, and it is only fifteen miles away from the military town of Khotan, it can be said that under the nose of Khotan Town, no one dares to spread wild here, Cao Feng took a look at it, and quickly said easily: "Zheng Jian Jun, it is the guard of Tang Town, hey, he still has a lot of things." ”

Zheng Peng followed and looked at it, the whole person was stunned, and quickly said: "Be quiet, don't let people find out." ”

A team of people and horses are walking on the road, looking at the direction should be to Zheng Peng's station, walking in the front is Tang Kuan, the town guard of Khotan, behind him in addition to the guards, there is a carriage carrying goods, and there are people driving a flock of sheep at the back, if you guess correctly, Tang Kuan heard that Zheng Peng was "uncomfortable", and came to condole.

When they met, Tang Kuan couldn't say that he was enthusiastic, nor was he indifferent, he looked like he was doing business, and his attitude represented the attitude of most generals in the Western Regions: he looked down on Zheng Peng from the teaching workshop in his heart, but he didn't offend him, and it was best to be safe.

The deputy supervisor was sick in Tang Kuan's "territory", and he had to express it in all his feelings.

The sound of the wind was sick, so he bumped into the fact that hunting in the wild was not good, and Zheng Peng motioned to Cao Feng to pay attention.

I wanted to pick up the hare and leave quietly, but I didn't expect that two horses suddenly separated from the team and ran straight in the direction of Zheng Peng.

Won't be discovered?

Zheng Peng was startled, hurriedly retracted his head, heard the horses from far and near, and then heard the sound of two people dismounting, just when Zheng Peng was thinking about what to say when they met, there was a sudden sound of "lala", and he couldn't help but feel relieved, it turned out that someone got off the horse and relieved.

"Tang Zhen Guard, don't you hate that surnamed Zheng very much, why did you give him so many gifts?"

Say yourself?

Zheng Peng blinked, squinted, and saw Cao Feng looking at himself with a smile, well, I inadvertently heard others talking about himself behind his back.

"That's, a sect out of the three indiscriminate, I don't know how to get out of your majesty, came to the Western Regions to be a supervisor, as the saying goes, a general is incapable of harming the three armies, how can these three indiscriminate people fight, fight with their mouths, grab merit, and stab in the back are good at it, thinking that wearing a cotton armor is a general, it's really naïve, it looks like it's hot, no way, who made him a prison army, Lu Du's escort has an order, to cooperate as much as possible, lest he return to Chang'an and talk nonsense."

Speaking of this, Tang Kuan said with some disdain: "These things should be fed to the livestock." ”

"That's right, a deputy supervisor doesn't stay in the city well on a cold day, but runs to a small place like Khotan Town, and doesn't live in the city and runs to the suburbs, obviously pretending to be famous, if something happens, we have to bear it, it's really full to play." The subordinate was also a complainer.

can solve with Tang Kuan, not only confidants, but also relatives.

Tang Kuan sighed, and said a little helplessly: "Forget it, he is the prison army, let him go, I hope he will leave as soon as possible after he gets tired of playing." ”

After the two finished speaking, they also finished their small explanations, so they each got on their horses and returned to the team, completely unaware that Dashi's back was listened to by the main owner.

"These two people are so rude, Zheng Jianjun, why did you pull me just now?" Cao Feng said with a puzzled expression.

The words he said were so rude that Cao Fenggang wanted to go out and reprimand Tang Kuan, but was stopped by Zheng Peng and signaled him not to act rashly.

On the surface, he was indignant, but in fact, Cao Feng was a little worried about Tang Kuan, after all, they all belonged to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and he also knew Tang Kuan, his idea was to let Zheng Peng breathe a sigh of relief, it was better than holding it in his heart to settle the account after the autumn, but he didn't expect Zheng Peng to hold back.

"Forget it, people are just talking from their hearts, who doesn't say anything right or wrong behind their backs" Zheng Peng said calmly: "If it were me, I wouldn't be happy." ”

Having said that, his face was also very calm, but deep in his heart, Zheng Peng held back his strength: trees want bark, people want face, who is willing to make people look down on like this, find a chance to behave well, and then slap this Tang Kuan's face hard.

He didn't do anything, and when it came to his mouth, he became a representative of the plague god.

Cao Feng looked at Zheng Peng with some disbelief, he really couldn't figure it out, so Zheng Peng could endure it, and there were two, the deputy supervisor in front of him who couldn't see through it was either so open-minded that it was difficult to believe, or his scheming was terrifying.

Let's hope it's the former.

Zheng Peng also ignored Cao Feng's thoughts, and when he saw that Tang Kuan and the others were finished, he beckoned and said, "Let's go, let's take the path back to the barracks, but we can't let this kind town guard throw it into the air." ”

Cao Feng answered, followed Zheng Peng to the camp where he was stationed, and he was surprised to find that after this incident, Zheng Peng did not forget to carry the fat rabbit.......

Tang Kuo's subordinates and several gentry from Khotan Town stayed in Zheng Peng's camp for less than two quarters of an hour before leaving, leaving with a relaxed face and an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

When visiting Zheng Peng, Zheng Peng was sitting on the Hu bed wearing a thick leather jacket, and Lan Duo, the lord of Tuqi Shi, was playing leaf cards with great interest, and he could see that he was in a good mood, even if the visitors came, they didn't stop, but they just greeted him, not to mention the banquet, even the tea was also reminded by his subordinates to be served.

It seems that the inspection of military affairs is fake, and the mind is focused on pleasing beauties, Tang Kuan was a little disdainful in his heart, and then found an opportunity to leave easily.

As long as you don't cause trouble for yourself, let him toss.

"Zheng Peng, this county lord cooperated with you to put on a good show, what's the benefit?" As soon as Tang Kuan left, Lan Duo threw down the leaf card and asked for benefits with a smile.

A big beauty with a smile on her face asks for benefits, and other people must be full of promises, but Zheng Peng doesn't eat this, and says quietly: "This is to paralyze him, and it will be convenient to act in the future, if the batch of treasures in Tubo is intercepted, the county lord will also have a share, this is for the public and not for private purposes, what is the benefit." ”

"Stingy" Lan Duo threw a roll of his eyes at Zheng Peng, and opened his mouth to call for the girl to be with him: "Anar, let's go." ”

Lan Duo said to go, seeing Lan Duo's distant shadow, Zheng Peng's old face couldn't help but twitch, just go, why did he bring the hare he hiding behind the door......
