The blood of the scimitar's blade had not been washed away, and it glowed an eerie red in the moonlight.

Facing the blood-devouring scimitar, Tsering said without changing his face: "Is the sharp knife of the Qarlu clan aimed at its brothers and allies? ”

Kuro said with a somewhat hideous face: "We are not brothers, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Talking nonsense? Why don't you say that your uncle is crazy about profit, good guy, you dare to fight the idea of Datang's convoy carrying loot, all the goods are robbed, and all the people are killed and fed to the wolves, if you let Datang know about this, with their way of doing things, your Qarlu clan will wait to be wiped out, horizontal and vertical is a death, it is better to fight, we are all like-minded people, not brothers. ”

"Hmph" Kuro didn't speak, just snorted coldly.

Tsering didn't care, sneered, slowly pushed away the knife in front of his neck with his hand, and said with a smile: "It's all people in the same boat, not brothers, Kuro, you have to remember, there is no turning back when you open the bow, you can only go one way to the black after taking this road, next time you go to the grass valley, don't let your people fall behind." ”

"Okay" Then the next time you go to attack the outpost, your men rush to the front? Kuro said with a sneer.

Tsering snorted, patted Kuro on the shoulder, lowered his voice and said: "Those who have achieved great things are not informal, and they can't turn back, so it's better for us to work together, after the matter is completed, you will be the king of the Western Regions, and you don't have to look at Datang's face to act, let alone be treated as a pawn by them, think about it." ”

After saying that, he didn't wait for Kuro's response and walked straight away.

When Tsering walked away, Kuro slashed at the stone, causing the knife to splash everywhere, and one of the flying gravel cut through the back of Kuro's hand, and the blood flowed unnoticed.

Qarlu has come to this day, inseparable from his own uncle Surhacha.

Zhang Xiaosong treated the Turkishes and Khawans differently during the attack on Khakhan, which caused many people in Qarluq to be dissatisfied, but they dared not speak out under his high pressure, and Surhatsa was one of them.

When the Tang Dynasty withdrew from Dashi, it brought back a large amount of booty, and a convoy passed through the camp of Pakhana to stay overnight, and inadvertently found a large number of gold and silver goods in Surhacha.

People die for money, birds die for food, coupled with the dissatisfaction with the Tang Dynasty in front of him, Surhacha was hot-headed, and that night with his henchmen, he took advantage of the night to kill all the people in the Datang convoy, thinking that the gods did not know the ghosts, and I don't know how Tubo knew about this, and also got evidence, in order to coerce the Qarlu clan to cooperate, and also took Kuluo's biological mother and a younger brother to the city of Luo as hostages.

After Kuro rushed back from Chang'an, the matter was irreparable, and then he walked towards the abyss step by step.

After traveling in Datang for so long, Kuro knows Datang very well, and now Datang is in its heyday, stronger than before, just like a tiger entrenched in the east, or a tiger with sharp minions and tigers, and now to challenge it, it is self-defeating.

However, there is no turning back.

Suddenly, Kuro suddenly remembered a question: what if he ran into his two brothers on the battlefield?

Fighting for your life? Humility? Avoid?

I don't think I've really thought about it.

.......

"Hurry up, the ones in the back follow."

"Look at the carriage, it is full of good things, if it breaks, see if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you to the bottom one by one."

"If you move faster, you won't be able to rest at the post station in front of you if you grind harder."

On the official road from Chang'an to the Western Regions, Yang Xian, a young military supervisor who escorted important ordnance, rode a horse and held a whip in his hand, constantly urging his subordinates to hurry.

When Yang Xian inspected the tail of the team, he saw a person lying on a carriage, with Erlang's legs crossed, and munching on the jerky leisurely.

"What are you doing, push it quickly." Yang Xian didn't say a word, and gave a whip to a soldier next to him.

Lying on it, Yang Xian recognized it as Zheng Peng, who was hot in the army, although he was just dressed as a young man, but Yang Xian didn't dare to touch him, and as for the others, he had no scruples.

The task this time is to cover Li Xiancheng and Zheng Peng's group of people to the Western Regions smoothly, and the above requirements must not show flaws, and the people covering will be treated the same, and Yang Xian will not be polite.

Some people are just too arrogant, and there is no one in their eyes, and they just stand up.

The person who was beaten was Lu Jin, and after being beaten, he couldn't help but stare at Yang Xian, and his fists were clenched.

"Stare at what to stare at, and if you stare at it again, you will unload the cattle and let you pull the cart, believe it or not." Yang Xian scolded without showing weakness.

Lu Jin was about to make a move, when a second cough came, he hesitated, and finally lowered his head in recognition.

The boss coughed and signaled, and Lu Jin didn't dare not disobey Zheng Peng's order.

After Yang Xian left a little triumphantly, Lu Jin said a little depressedly: "Boss, it's not fair, why can you drink wine and eat meat, and lie in the carriage to enjoy, I want to be called like an animal." ”

"Simple" Zheng Peng snapped his fingers: "This is the good character of this general." ”

Lu Jin turned his face away, and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes.

Zheng Peng soothed: "Okay, tomorrow I will change your vigilance and open the way, bear with it, when you get to the Western Regions, I will ensure that you eat and drink spicy food." ”

"You have to be promoted and get rich." Cao Feng on the side echoed and said.

Zheng Peng laughed: "That's a good thing, it's necessary." ”

A group of people laughed, and Yang Xian, a military young eunuch who had just walked a short distance, heard the movement and was about to turn the horse's head, when he accidentally saw Zheng Peng also laughing, hesitated, and finally held back.

Yang left first, and Li Xiancheng, dressed as a lieutenant, rode over, frowned and said, "Zheng Peng, take it easy, don't expose your whereabouts." ”

"Come, then," Zheng Peng threw a braised pig's trotter over.

Li Xiancheng continued with one hand, and was about to speak, Zheng Peng said with a relaxed face: "I said Li Qiancai, you are now a baggage soldier, a baggage soldier escorting ordnance, but you are not a pro-army of the Son of Heaven, look at you, with your head held high and murderous, like?" It's not easy to look at, take it easy, the sky won't fall. ”

Look at Zheng Peng, and then look at himself, Li Xiancheng hesitated, then jumped on the horse, jumped into the carriage, snatched the wine bag in Zheng Peng's hand with one hand, took a big mouthful, and then bit the braised hooves hard, and then said with a satisfied face: "Cool!" ”

Zheng Peng is right, this is the Central Plains region, although it is still a little bit away from not closing the door at night, but the road is smooth and safe, there is no need to be nervous.

When you arrive in the Western Regions, you will enter a state of battle, and now, it will be regarded as the court's money for your own sightseeing.

"Come, there are several kinds of braised pork here, and there is a lot of wine, so let's get drunk and rest."

Zheng Peng generously took out his reserves and invited Li Xiancheng to enjoy them together.

To tell the truth, Li Xiancheng is indeed very proud, but he has his own bottom line and principles as a man, his pride comes from his own strength, he does not rely on his identity or background, does not commit violence at will, and does not exploit his subordinates, he is a very pure soldier.

On this point, Zheng Peng doesn't hate him.

"Okay, let's get drunk."

The group hid in the team transporting ordnance, ate and slept in the dew, got up early and rushed late, and finally arrived at the destination on June 2, the military town on the border of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty: Khotan Town.
