In Yangguan for more than five days, these days Xuan Shijing has been paying attention to the movement of Shicheng, first the matter of food spread to the Tubo army, causing a lot of commotion, those Tubo troops came out to fight just for rations, now the war situation is still deadlocked, the grain is gone first, the previous grain road was attacked, there is not much food left in the army, the Tubo army is facing the crisis of food shortage, naturally the army is unstable, and there is no spirit to fight.

Before Geldan could react, the soldiers on the side of Yangguan were mobilized, together with Shazhou and Yumen Pass, a total of 50,000 troops were dispatched to encircle and suppress the 20,000 Tubo people in front of Shicheng, and after Geldan received the order to retreat from Lu Dongzan, it was too late, and he found that he had been surrounded by the Tang army.

The gate of Shicheng was wide open, and Cheng Chumo led three thousand soldiers to rush out, converging the army and rushing into the battle of the Tubo soldiers for a while, and the three thousand soldiers in the city rushed to the battlefield one by one more fiercely, as if to vent all the grievances of these days.

"The chief manager has an order, 20,000 Tubo people, not one will be left!" The general who led the troops shouted, and the people under his hands killed more happily.

However, Li Jing's order seemed extremely murderous in the eyes of others, but this order, Li Jing also had some self-defilement.

It seems that the news here has reached Li Jing, and this time the black cauldron of the military department is not carried by Li Jing, see what tricks they can play.

Thinking about the news that came over in the past two days, a smile appeared on Xuan Shijing's face, and he picked up a pen in the room and began to write a letter to Cheng Chumo, delaying a lot of time in Shicheng, and now that the general trend of Shicheng has been decided, it is time to set off and go back.

packed the letter, instructed the little second brother of the inn to deliver the letter to Ding Xiangming, and asked him to send someone to hand it over to Cheng Chumo, and Xuan Shijing packed up his things and set off with Long'er and Gao Jun towards the pass.

All the way through Shazhou, Suzhou, walked for seven or eight days, and then arrived at Ganzhou City.

"Little Marquis, after this Ganzhou City, it is the boundary of Guannei." Gao Jun sat outside the carriage and said, "Shall we rest in the city for the night or add something and continue walking?" ”

Xuan Shijing in the carriage opened the curtain of the car door and looked outside, and sure enough, the tall city wall of Ganzhou City was already close at hand, and Gao Jun was driving the carriage to the city gate.

"Let's rest here for the night." Xuan Shijing said out loud, the road from Khotan Town to Chang'an has gone more than half, into the pass, the trip will slow down, Longxi is sparsely populated, can only keep burying his head in the road, and the pass is different, ten miles and one township, one hundred miles and one city, with a good rest environment, Xuan Shijing will naturally not miss, all day non-stop sitting in the carriage to hurry, Xuan Shijing's body is really a little tired, in this state to Chang'an, it is inevitable to be worried about his own mother.

The carriage continued to drive slowly towards the gate of Ganzhou City, and in a blink of an eye, it was outside the city gate.

"What's going on at the gates ahead? How can people entering and leaving the city still have to be searched? Xuan Shijing looked at the city gate, and there was already a long queue at the city gate.

Gao Jun looked intently, and the soldiers on both sides of the city gate were holding a portrait in their hands, seriously comparing everyone who entered the city.

"Little Hou Ye, those people seem to be checking someone." Gao Jun said: "Do you want to go over?" ”

"Go ahead, you have to go into the city anyway." Xuan Shijing said.

Hearing this, Gao Jun drove the carriage over, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding it.

"Stop! What the hell. The soldier, with his sword on his shoulder, stretched out his hand to stop the carriage that was moving forward.

Gao Jun sat in the car, looked at the soldier and said, "We are from Longxi and want to enter the city. ”

"Whoever is sitting in the car, get out of the car and be checked." The soldier shouted into the carriage.

Xuan Shijing, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the words outside, lifted the curtain, got out, jumped out of the carriage, and Long'er followed.

The soldier took the portrait in his hand and looked at Xuan Shijing for a long time, then looked at Long'er again, and then waved his hand, "Okay, you guys go into the city." ”

"This soldier, may I ask what happened in this Ganzhou City, why do you set up a card check in front of the city gate?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Why do you want to do this? It has nothing to do with you, don't ask around, let's go into the city quickly. The soldier said impatiently.

Gao Jun looked at the attitude of this soldier, and he repaid it, stepped forward and said angrily: "Speak politely, do you know who is standing in front of you?" ”

When the soldier saw that Gao Jun was so horizontal, he felt a little drumming in his heart, wouldn't it be a nobleman, so he hurriedly arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what Your Excellency is."

Xuan Shijing smiled, then took out a sign from his arms and handed it to the soldier, and the soldier looked at the brand, and the brand made of pure gold had a line of words on the book of Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dance: Seal Xuanwei Hou

Hurriedly returned the token to Xuan Shijing, hugged his fists and said: "The last general doesn't know that it is Xuanwei Hou Ye, I hope Hou Ye will atone for his sins." ”

"Those who don't know are not guilty, what happened in Ganzhou." Xuan Shijing asked.

The soldier glanced at Xuan Shijing cautiously, and said hesitantly: "This matter has something to do with your mansion, Master Hou."

Well? Why is it still involved in the Hou Mansion.

"His Royal Highness King Jing stole from the house, I heard that important things were lost, and it was the thief Gao Yuan who entered the house to steal from the rivers and lakes, I heard that this Gao Yuan stole something and wanted to escape to Longxi for a while, Ganzhou City is the only way to go west to Longxi, so I set up a card search in this Ganzhou City." The soldier said.

High source? King Jing? Xuan Shijing looked at Gao Jun beside him, he had never heard of this person, and then asked, "Why is this Gao Yuan related to my Hou Mansion again?" Who is King Jing? ”

"King Jing is the original His Royal Highness King Zhao, this matter has nothing to do with your Hou Mansion, but this Gao Yuan was born in the green forest, and the green forest is headed by Erxianzhuang, and this Gao Yuan is a person from Erxianzhuang, so it seems that His Royal Highness King Jing has been staring at the Hou Mansion over there." The soldier said.

It's Li Yuanjing again, it seems that my mother-in-law has really not been idle in Chang'an over the years, and I don't know what I found, could it be true that it has something to do with Li Yuanjing? However, it seems that the most important thing at the moment is to try to find this Gao Yuan and protect it, he may have something very important for Li Yuanjing in his hands, otherwise Li Yuanjing would not search for him with such fanfare.

The matter was almost asked, Xuan Shijing said goodbye to the soldiers guarding the city, took the carriage, entered Ganzhou City, sat on the frame in front of the carriage, Gao Jun next to him drove the carriage, without saying a word, Xuan Shijing also saw Gao Jun's abnormality, just when the soldiers said Gao Yuan's name.

"Gao Jun, do you know this Gao Yuan?" Xuan Shijing asked, judging from the name, it has a bit of a family flavor.

"Gao Yuan is my brother." Gao Jun's words were astonishing.

It turned out that Gao Jun also had an elder brother, and this Xuan Shijing was also the first time I heard Gao Jun mention it.
