The ancestors of the Hai family were not orthodox Tang people, but were descendants of Ye Hu, the king of Tocharo, who was under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Governor's Mansion and Dayue's Governor's Mansion. During the Anshi Rebellion, the countries in the outer western regions, one of the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, also ordered King Qin to follow Anxi County to form a coalition to go to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion.
As a result, these coalition forces from the Western Regions that traveled thousands of miles were awarded the name of the Rebel Army by the then Pingliang court and Emperor Qianyuan (Tang Suzong); and they participated in many battles to regain Guanzhong and the Central Plains. The leader, Tocharo King Ye Hu, was killed in battle as a result.
Therefore, after the war finally subsided, most of the soldiers of the Western Region Allied Forces who went to the Western Regions were recruited with favorable treatment, and were incorporated into the imperial army and stayed in China; only a small part followed Liang Gong to defeat the Tubo and pacify the Uighurs. , and finally went on an expedition back to his hometown in Lingxi.
The Tocharo King Ye Hu, who died in battle, also died with great honor. His eldest son, who was far away in Asu City, the capital of Tochara (i.e. Kunduz City, Kunduz Province, Afghanistan), was supported by the Tang army as the new king during the rebellion of the domestic nobles. His third son, who followed him to fight in China, was given The surname is Fengjue.
The ancestor of the Hai family was derived from the fifth son of King Ye Hu who was given the surname. He was named Guangyi Hou and served as a guard for generations. He was thus naturalized in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in Luodu, becoming a prominent family for generations. The contemporary head of the family and patriarch, Hemingwei, is also one of the administrative envoys of the vassal council.
In terms of authority, the identity and status of the subject are approximately equal to Pei Wuben, the permanent minister of the vassal vassal academy. They are equivalent to the first level of the Five Prisons of the Nine Temples, and are one of the middle nine ministers in the sequence of the big, middle, and small nine ministers. Under the leadership of Ouchi, he made a marriage contract with the young prince of the Prince of Yanshan almost as soon as he was born.
But compared to the other relatives who were implicated, the Hai family was, after all, a well-known family far away in the Eastern Capital, and the head of the family held an important position in the vassal council; there were not many places where he could be involved with the Yanshan Palace. Therefore, after some secret operations and games, he was still allowed to visit.
Under the leadership of the supervisory censor who patrolled Yanshan South Road, the group went through several procedures of strict interrogation and inspection before arriving at the basement floor of the pavilion. But standing at the entrance, the half-white-haired supervisor censor suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice:
"According to the agreement, a certain person risked such a big deal to lure you to meet him, just to confess more inside information. Since then, the favors and favors owed by a certain person have been wiped out and have nothing to do with your family anymore. What's more, after this incident, I can't stay in Yanbei Road."
"Thank you so much, Ambassador Xian." The leader of the girl in the curtain hat responded softly: "I just want to say a few words to him, which can be regarded as settling my worries." Then she took off the curtain hat, revealing her pink makeup and beautiful eyebrows. A picturesque face; there is an awe-inspiring nobility that makes people pity and admire.
However, when she saw Shaojun behind the fence, who was forcibly fixed on the seat with multiple restraints from head to toe, like a rice dumpling, and even his mouth was covered, she showed an expression that seemed to be smiling and crying. , and said in a voice full of sighs and lamentations:
"I never thought that you would have such a day; with this beautiful skin and clever words, how many people have you deceived; how many people have you suffered torture and humiliation; and how many little girls have you made who don't know what's going on? , I will fly into the flames for you; I will be shattered to pieces?”
"Once upon a time, I was also that silly woman who dreamed of marrying a glorious, dignified, warm and considerate husband; she was immersed in your love and deceived herself again and again. The discussions are all based on jealousy with ulterior motives.”
"Then, not only did you get yourself involved, but you also unintentionally implicated and killed those people who wanted to protect and protect the slave... You were a nightmare that the slave could not escape. The slave wanted to escape, but he also thought If you die, you will only end up harming others."
"Now, all the gloom has finally dissipated; I really want to thank that Shangxian." At this point, the girl's low voice of self-pity and self-pity also became slightly louder: "Aye has promised that I will never choose another slave again." If you want to marry, just become a monk in Xuan Zhen Guan and then find someone who doesn’t need a title.”
The next moment, she finally got her wish and saw the fierce reaction and twisting body of Shaojun who was restrained in his seat; it was like his remaining possessive and violent emotions were re-aroused at this moment. He came out; but he could only struggle in a helpless and furious manner.
However, she raised her arms somewhat abruptly and pulled down the long and wide sleeves; immediately revealing the pink forearms extending to the smooth shoulders; vaguely scattered old and new scars; using a tone of self-pity. He said: "You have such a delicate body, but you don't know who to devote yourself to?"
"Which one is better, a strong and ruthless soldier in the army? Or a dashing and graceful gentleman? Or a mature and dignified older gentleman? Or, offer yourself a pillow to the one who captured you, Shang Xian: reward him for letting the slave family, and finally get rid of him. To get rid of this evil obstacle of yours, all the hardships and humiliations you have been subjected to?"
More than half an hour later, the daughter of the Hai family, who had completely vented her feelings, came out and regained her elegant and tranquil appearance; while Shaojun, who was restrained on his seat in the inner room, completely lost his voice and was speechless from head to toe. It has become wet, as if it was fished out of a water conservancy project.
However, at the same time that Heidegger and his entourage quietly left the garden, there seemed to be one more servant among the accompanying women; they just disappeared silently into the blind spot that was briefly blocked by the palace wall. When she reappeared, she had changed her appearance and appearance, becoming an old servant carrying a bucket.
As a deaf-mute man who has served in the prison for many years, he is the only one who can enter the underground prison cell and is responsible for cleaning up the filth left behind every day. Under the eyes of several prison guards, his rickety figure and drooping head The head hardly aroused any surprise or alarm.
Until he saw Shao Jun, who was still wearing a muzzle on his face through the iron bars and door bars, but had been changed into a prison uniform. The next moment, his expression twitched slightly, and he suddenly crushed the stained bucket. On the other side, he dug out several extremely hard wooden thorns from the debris and threw them out.
It was an almost unobstructed soft puff, and it penetrated deeply into Shaojun's prison clothes. In an instant, Shaojun, who was wearing a muzzle, didn't even hum, but lowered his head with a gloomy face; just like He fell asleep in an instant. This is also the special effect of this specially concocted stinger.
He will not die instantly, but due to the paralysis and paralysis of his body, his internal organs will fail little by little, and his breathing will be suffocated. The stinger will slowly melt into the blood, leaving the opponent unable to find any excuse for a short period of time. Then, the old servant carrying the barrel walked out calmly.
Then, several hooked iron nets descended from the pockets, instantly sealing his space in all directions; and as he jumped up like a ghost, dodging from left to right, they hooked him one after another. The left calf was wrapped around his forearm, and it was bloody and torn apart.
It also caused his fierce dodge and resistance movements to be delayed and slowed down for a moment; more hooks, forked guns, and crossbow bolts were protruding out, blocking his plan to break through the window. Just when he desperately wanted to tear apart these burdens, the paralyzing component of the hook net took effect.
With the blood circulation of the intense exercise, numbness quickly spread throughout the whole body; the "old servant" could no longer control his own strength; he fell to the ground as heavy as a stone; however, he still had the strength to turn his head and asked : "Why, can you see through..."
"I knew you wouldn't let go easily." The next moment, Linghu Xiaomu walked out of the pavilion. Someone beside him was holding a simple and elegant bronze mirror, shining it on the old servant and sneering at the same time: "Waiting day and night, isn't it? Are you waiting for this moment when you send someone to silence me?"
However, Linghu Xiaomu immediately said "Eh": "It turns out that he is not a ghost-eating ghost, but a living person who can shrink and deform his bones?" Upon hearing this, the old servant's rickety body also let out a cry. There was a faint crunching sound; then the muscles swelled and the bones stretched into a strong man.
In the Yanqing-Jianshui Valley at the western end of the Huailai Basin in the hinterland of the Yanshan Mountains, Jiang Tian, who was being talked about, was also confirming the road that suddenly disappeared in front of him; in its place was a large piece of towering earth and stone that collapsed and completely filled the valley road. and the resulting small barrier lake.
From time to time, you can still see streams of water seeping out from dozens of feet high slopes formed by the impact of earth and rocks; like strands of waterfalls and springs, flying freely among the rocks and mounds, flowing. Obviously, this is inseparable from the loss of contact between the two front and rear teams.
However, this was not a problem for Jiang Tian and the troops he brought. As he climbed to the highest point on the mountain wall, he immediately had a clear view from a distance of the scene behind the barrier lake hanging dozens of feet high. It was a large area of landscape that had been severely altered, with the hills flattened and the valleys filled in.
It's like the earth has been completely turned over, revealing the soft gray-brown fertile soil deep underground, as well as the exposed, blackened and dead roots of trees and vegetation in various directions; and with the confluence of several mountain streams, a large area has been washed away. The swamp is muddy and flows into the barrier lake.
However, such a fertile new land was actually lifeless and silent; there was no trace of any activity of birds or animals, nor the sound of other living creatures such as the chirping of insects. Obviously it represents some kind of unusual danger, or a hidden threat?
A moment later, a small group of bleating goats were found nearby. They were released and driven into the collapse area behind the barrier lake along the temporary passage set up in the rocky area. However, the dozens of goats did not scatter as a result. Instead, they huddled together and shivered.
It wasn't until the accompanying sergeant was hit with stones thrown from a long distance that they screamed one after another. Then several of them suddenly scattered out, but they seemed to have encountered some threat. They turned around and tried to run back to the water, but It was too late; something suddenly moved from the soft mud.
They caught up with them like bulges in an instant, and these goats fled in panic. At the moment of contact, a cloud of mud and dust exploded, causing him to scream and scream; in the blink of an eye, there was no sound left. Seeing this, Jiang Tian nodded slightly and said calmly: "It's nothing more than that." (End of this chapter)
