Hearing General Lu's words, Master Lu was suddenly startled, and said: "General, the intention of the Tibetan envoy is not trivial, if you let people go out and let them collude, wouldn't it be ......" General Lu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said in a deep voice: "If the plague is not eliminated, the Yumen Pass is about to be destroyed, what else can we talk about defending against foreign enemies?" As long as all the soldiers can be cured, and there is enough food and grass, don't say that you don't lose Bali or Tubo to attack, even if the allied forces of the Western Regions come to attack, or even the reincarnation of the cavalry of the foreign races of the previous dynasty, what can we do? In the past, with only hoes and firewood knives, our generation was able to conquer the entire country, and now there are soldiers and generals, and there is this impregnable city wall of Yumen Pass, what is there to be afraid of?"

After that, he ordered the two soldiers who had just taken the medicine to go to the military camp on the right and bring the Tibetan envoy to the open space at the gate of the city, and said slowly to Prince Geshu: "With your wisdom, if you are not completely sure, you will not come in person. Therefore, if the general is rude to your Excellency and forcibly asks for this batch of food and medicinal materials, I am afraid that I will not be able to get any benefits. In this case, Lu is a gamble tonight, if he wins, not only can he save the lives of the soldiers of Yumen Pass, but also make a good friend who trusts him with his life; if he loses the bet, it is a big deal to die, and the current situation of Yumen Pass is no different. ”

Prince Geshu smiled slightly, and without saying much at the moment, he asked Mr. Mu to run and ask his men to bring all the food and medicinal materials, while he and Ayi continued to stay on the city wall. Xian Jingyue watched coldly, and he had always been a little unable to believe the prince Geshu in front of him, and now it seems that the reason why this prince Geshu is willing to help him is not only to promote the marriage between himself and Ayi, but even this so-called family affair is just a pretense, and his real intention is to rescue this Tibetan envoy from General Lu. Seeing that General Lu agreed so easily, although Xian Jingyue faintly felt that something was wrong, he was not a person in the army, so there was no need to say much.

After about half an hour, the sergeant under the city wall brought a Hu man dressed as a Confucian student, and Xian Jingyue looked at it from afar on the city wall, and it was the Tubo envoy who was captured from the store of "Yinshan Hall" that night. I saw that this Tibetan envoy was frivolous in his steps, coughing as he walked, and he was obviously also infected by the plague and was already terminally ill. General Lu asked Prince Geshu to go down to verify his identity, but Prince Geshu shook his head and said: "Xiao Wang can trust General Lu, but there is no need to check it." As he spoke, a procession had come along the street towards the Yumen Gate, and it was Prince Geshu's men who had brought the food and medicinal herbs, but only about forty people came, each pushing a cart full of sacks, but Mr. Namu was not among them. And the thousands of soldiers gathered under the city wall saw that the procession was approaching, where could they hold it? They rushed forward to rob, and Prince Geshu's men did not stop them, but immediately dropped their carts and retreated to the side.

However, the food delivered this time was all wheat and rice, and although the soldiers were so hungry that Venus was furious, they could not eat it for a while. Master Lu hurriedly went down to the stone stairs on the city wall, and shouted to stop the sergeants under the city wall, saying that the medicinal materials that could cure the plague had been delivered, and he only waited for the soldiers to dispense medicine and torment, so that all the sergeants should not be coaxed, and all obeyed General Lu's dispatch, so it took half an hour to finally pacify the thousands of sergeants under the city wall. General Lu on the city wall saw that most of the grain on the cart had been torn apart by the sergeants, and the wheat and rice that had been spilled all over the ground were obviously genuine, so he ordered two soldiers to come out and told them to go to the city wall to check the medicinal herbs on the cart.

It is said that the reason why General Lu led the uninfected soldiers to take refuge on the wall of Yumen Pass was to draw a line with the soldiers who were infected with the plague below, so as not to let the remaining soldiers also be infected with the plague. At this time, it had been verified that Mr. Mu's prescription was useful, and the soldiers were no longer worried, and went straight down to check the medicinal materials sent by Prince Geshu. Long before Prince Geshu's team set off from Jiayuguan, Xian Jingyue and Li Liu had carefully inspected these materials, although neither of them knew medical science, but they also asked many people sideways, and they all said that these medicinal materials were indeed "hanging golden lanterns" and "Chaotianzi". Therefore, at this moment, these grains and medicinal materials transported under the city wall, as long as they are not transferred by Prince Geshu to take advantage of the moment, then there should be no fake.

Sure enough, the two soldiers checked the medicinal materials on the cart in turn, and then shouted: "It's not wrong, the cart is full of "hanging golden lanterns" and "Chaotianzi", a total of more than 400 catties! Yumen Pass is saved! Yumen Pass is saved!"

As soon as the words fell, thousands of soldiers under the city walls also cheered in unison, and the sound resounded throughout the desert night sky, and the left and right military camps on both sides of the street were also alarmed, and more and more sick soldiers gathered at the city gate. General Lu on the city wall finally let go of his breath, and there was a rare hint of a heartfelt smile on his face, and he couldn't imagine that he would go his own way, and he would stick to the Yumen Pass no matter what he said, so that he could support himself until tonight, and in the end it was still the road to the sky.

Just as all the soldiers under the city wall were excited, Prince Geshu's men had already brought the Tibetan envoy back to their ranks, and then made a gesture to Prince Geshu on the city wall. Prince Geshu said to General Lu: "Now that the food and medicinal materials have been delivered, Xiao Wang has retired since he was successful, and he doesn't dare to do more." This is to take away the Tibetan envoy, and I hope that the general can be fulfilled. General Lu clenched his fists slightly and said with a smile: "The plague in Yumen Pass has not been eliminated, so I dare not keep guests, and I also asked Prince Geshu to take care of himself." When this is the case, I will definitely have a drink with Your Excellency!"

Prince Geshu nodded with a smile, and said to Xian Jingyue on the side: "Prince Jingyue is full of promises, and he will definitely not forget the agreement between you and me." Although Xian Jingyue was a little uneasy in his heart, seeing that the garrison of Yumen Pass was finally saved, he was still grateful, and said in a deep voice: "Great grace is not grateful. What I promised Prince Geshu, I should do it. ”

At that moment, Prince Geshu did not delay, and beckoned Ayi next to him to go down the city wall along the stone stairs, and Ayi reluctantly glanced at Xian Jingyue a few times, and finally went with Prince Geshu. When the two of them went down to the halfway point of the stone stairs of the city wall, General Lu on the city wall suddenly asked Xian Jingyue: "Dare to ask the first commander, if our army captures and kills Prince Geshu and his party, how many casualties will there be?" Master Lu next to him suddenly said: "General Gaojian! This prince of the Hu people is very eloquent and thoughtful, he will become a great disaster for the Han people one day! Tonight, you must not let the tiger return to the mountain, let alone let him take away that Tubo envoy!"

Xian Jingyue was shocked in his heart, the reason why General Lu agreed to Prince Xia's conditions so readily was that he had such a plan in his heart. While he was hesitating, General Lu had already said in a deep voice: "I have heard that there is a female master of the Hu people by the side of Prince Geshu of Lanzhou City, and her martial arts are extremely good, so it is inconvenient to act rashly. First of all, you only need to keep an eye on that Hu Ren girl, and the others will have their own soldiers to deal with it!" As soon as the words fell, Master Lu had already recruited more than two hundred soldiers from the city wall, and they all opened their bows and arrows, aiming at Prince Geshu and Ayi on the stone ladder, just waiting for General Lu's order.

Seeing that the arrow was on the string, before Xian Jingyue could answer, he heard someone in the crowd under the city wall shouting: "Look, everyone, it's snowing!" Everyone up and down the city wall couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and at the same time looked up, in the light of the lights, there were indeed large snowflakes falling from the sky in the night sky, one by one the size of goose feathers, and they were swept by the north wind.

To say that Yumen Pass is located in the northwest desert, it is very common to fly snow in this cold winter season. However, the sudden snow at this time was somewhat unexpected, and then one of the sergeants under the city wall exclaimed: "No......! Is this snow or blood?"

Everyone looked at it carefully, and suddenly gasped, it turned out that this sudden heavy snow was actually a "red snow", and the snowflakes were all red, at first glance, it didn't look like a "snowflake", but like a "blood flower". Seeing a strange omen from the sky, everyone present was secretly frightened, only Xian Jingyue had a clever idea in his heart, and suddenly woke up: where is this "red snow", it is obvious that someone is performing illusions, and he confuses the minds of all the soldiers above and below the city wall with words.

It is conceivable that it must be the star warrior under Prince Geshu who is doing tricks, Xian Jingyue has witnessed his illusion several times, and knows the mystery of it. At this time, seeing that he dared to confuse all the sergeants present at the same time, and he didn't know what other vicious methods were next, Xian Jingyue didn't dare to show mercy to his subordinates, and hurriedly raised his murderous aura to the point of reach, using the illusion spell cast by the other party as a medium, and all of them burst out in the past.

You must know that the Persian illusion performed by this astrological man was performed by one person in front of the stage to attract the attention of the people, while the other person hid in the shadows and deceived the minds of the people with his words. So Ju Xingshi is just a cover at best, but the real key is the person who is hiding in the crowd and talking, that is, the voice that beckoned everyone to look at the snow twice. Now with the murderous aura of Xian Jingyue, and then I heard someone screaming in the crowd under the city wall, and a fat man with a beard knelt on the ground for no reason, and blood sprayed wildly in the seven orifices, and he was killed on the spot.

As a result, the illusion of this "red snow" was suddenly shattered, and all the sergeants above and below the city wall also came to their senses one after another. Although General Lu didn't know the reason, he also knew that Fang Fang was the way of the other party, and hurriedly went to see Prince Geshu and Ayi on the stone stairs of the city wall, but where were there still people? Looking at the cart carrying food and medicinal materials under the city wall, Prince Geshu's more than 40 subordinates, together with the Tibetan envoy, had all disappeared.
