Chapter 29: The Sword Box
Pei Yunqi's rebellion comes from confidence and reliable intelligence.
Just kidding, if there was a large army in the information she had been exposed to before, she would definitely run faster than anyone else, and the farther away from the Black Shawar, the better.
There are only 500 defenders in Heishawa, but due to the delivery of war horses, the number of serious border troops here will reach 3,000. If a battle occurs, if an enemy is really coming, at least two thousand cavalry will come to Yangguan to rescue.
Without 20,000 enemy troops, Heishawa cannot be killed.
Where did the 20,000 enemy troops come from?
No military information shows that so many enemies are approaching Heshawar, not in the past five days and not in the next five days.
Unless it falls from the stars.
When Pei Yunqiu's carriage stopped at the inn in Heishawa City, two officials from the Taishi Bureau had already enthusiastically held the reins of the carriage.
There were originally several officials in this city who had received the news and wanted to curry favor with this noble person, but in terms of status, military officials in such border cities were completely unable to compare with Chang'an officials who could meet the saints frequently. The officials of the two Taishi Bureau scolded these people early.
No matter how many guards the second lady of the Pei family have, they are limited, and they must not be able to take care of other people.
The real purpose in my heart is to think so, but naturally I say that the second lady of the Pei family likes purity the most. If she disturbs her, she will have to fall to the ground.
As soon as she saw these two officials from the Taishi Bureau, Pei Yunqi smiled into a beautiful crescent moon. She said to the elderly official she knew: "Fu Sichen, where is the enemy's large group?"
The official Fu from the Taishi Bureau also had a thick face and smiled at the moment: "By the time, the soldiers should be coming to the city. If you can't see him at this time, you must have heard that the lady was coming, and she was so scared that she ran away."
"Then Fu Sichen must take a closer look tonight."
"That's certain. As long as there are any new changes, we will tell the lady immediately. I hope the lady's guards will not stop it."
"Don't just take the opportunity to peek at this girl in the shower."
Pei Yun was so sarcastic that he dispelled these two talented people from the Taishi Bureau.
Of course she could see the plot of these two people.
If you don't say such words, these two stargazers who are dyingly afraid of having to sleep outside her door with a bedding.
But just because of a illusory evil star shining, these star-gazers are really ridiculous.
Heishawa has not been able to welcome such a distinguished guest as her for decades, so the best guesthouse in the city naturally became her temporary residence.
In fact, compared with the vast majority of powerful children who live in poverty, she really has no priorities about these things.
It is definitely not these vulgar things that can cause her to have fun.
"I'll go! Xu Tuibei found a female corpse?"
The subordinates who followed her naturally understood her fun. When collecting military information here, they also put a lot of things she liked to see.
Looking at this secret report, her eyes suddenly emitted light, "Not only did this person fall into a mountain of flesh, did he actually develop this kind of habit?"
When she entered the Heishawa City Gate for routine inspection, she did not use any privileges. During the brief wait, she saw a fat man lying at the foot of the city wall basking in the sun.
The indescribable decadence and loneliness are like a pile of compost meat waiting quietly to rot and grow maggots.
She asked casually and remembered Xu Tui's nickname.
Originally, no matter how sympathized with a character of Xu Tuibe had, she would not pay too much attention to her in the past, not to mention that the compost was really not good-looking.
But the secret report is really exciting now.
A decadent fat man who was not satisfied with talent secretly spent a lot of money and spent a lot of trouble to buy a woman from Yangguan. She accidentally fell off the horse and died... a fresh female corpse.
The next picture is so beautiful that she dare not imagine too much.
"Go and check what this person did next? Hurry!"
Next, she was anxious and expectantly waiting for the rewards from her confidants.
"This man went to make a dress. He also asked someone to clean the female corpse and change her clothes."
"Then was buried that female corpse?"
"No, and we checked it. The female corpse was just a concubine named Zhang from the shopkeeper of Dafeng Caravan. She didn't know this person before."
"Beast!"
"But the concubine's fallen horse was a bit strange. It should be that the eldest lady named Zhang, who sent someone to secretly do something."
"Does that eldest wife named Zhang have anything to do with Xu Tuibei?"
"This subordinate didn't have time to investigate."
"Let's check again! Wait, find someone to stare at Xu Tuibei in secret."
"I understand."
Faced with Pei Yunqi's request, none of her subordinates had any opinions.
Anyway, I am always with the second lady, and it is indeed much more fun and safer to check this kind of thing than to check the Xie family and the Turkic people.
After these understanding subordinates were all out to work hard, Pei Yunqi suddenly realized that he had actually placed Gu Shiwu and a group of people behind this fat man.
According to the news that Peng Qingshan had conveyed before, even if Gu Shiwu and the great swordsman had not arrived in Heishawa, the rest of the people in Yinshan should have almost arrived in Heishawa.
These people had more than a dozen horses in total and had a lot of luggage. Could it be that they would not have thought of a suitable way to enter Heishawa for a while?
Her idea is not unreasonable.
Although the Tang Dynasty had always adhered to the principle of inclusiveness and acceptance since its establishment, it always had a strict censorship system for all people entering the Tang Dynasty.
In the emperor's opinion, although they also love the foreign barbarians and need to give them a relatively fair way to settle down in the Tang Dynasty, those unruly rat shit must be removed.
The powerful people in Chang'an are also quite strict in monitoring local officials in various prefectures and counties, and local officials have always kept a close eye on Gentile personnel. In addition to the unstable factors, those who contact them may also bring great benefits to them.
In ordinary prefectures and counties, the border towns of the Tang Dynasty are naturally more stringent.
If many goods that are prohibited from private transactions enter the Tang Dynasty for circulation, they will definitely track down the original source, and all the associated officials will be held accountable.
It is not difficult for those powerful warriors to sneak into a city, but it is difficult to enter the city with a bunch of war horses and luggage. Especially now that the Heishawa war horses are about to be delivered, many Chang'an officials will be more and more strict in the investigation.
Pei Yunqi felt that it would be difficult for him to do it. The best way was to settle the horse and luggage elsewhere and put it into the city lightly.
Chen Tu thought so at the beginning.
In his opinion, putting his luggage in Longtoukan and Kushaying area was the best choice, but that night he couldn't see clearly. After taking a bowl of medicinal soup, he thought that he was really stupid.
Gu Liubai did not mean that he had arrived in Heishawa and left after doing something, but that he wanted to take these belongings to the inner palace and even to Chang'an.
So if you can’t pass the Heishawa or the Yangguan, what’s the point of putting these luggage on the side of Longtoukan?
The medicine soup was drunk at night, and his eyes were better the next morning.
Next he saw He Huoluo who came to join the joint.
He Huoluo was still wearing the sheepskin coat with narrow sleeves and large lapels. He didn't know where he spent the night in the evening, so he showed up in their sight early in the morning with a horse.
Looking at his empty right sleeve tube tied in his waistband, Chen Tu couldn't help but want to find out what was going on with his right arm and scars on his face, but He Huoluo was as dull as Hu Laosan and as cold as Yin Shiniang.
After testing it many times, He Huoluo told him that he was bitten by a wolf, and then he said nothing.
They arrived at the gate of Heishawa City almost an hour earlier than Pei Yunshi, but Pei Yunshi was walking at the east gate where Xu Tui was basking in the sun, while they were walking at the north gate.
Most of the caravans walking in the east gate were caravans with some backgrounds, while most of the caravans walking in the north gate were livestock, herdsmen, and small caravans.
Not to mention the unwashed cow and horse manure on the road, the old soldiers inspected the city gates were even worse.
As soon as He Huoluo and Chen Tu and others arrived, they saw four old soldiers beating up a ignorant caravan leader.
The man was driven from the east and was full of anger. After a few quarrels here, he couldn't help but greet the old man of a sergeant. Then he was rubbed on the cow dung and horse manure pressed on the ground, and his face was covered with blood. He probably had at least two of his ribs broken.
Although Chen Tu could see that this was a way to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, it was obvious that the old soldiers guarding the city gate had some a little bit of anger, and they were probably excluded, so they came to guard this stinking gate.
However, what he didn't expect was that although these old soldiers were very arrogant and had a very bad attitude, they couldn't help but beat the horses they were holding, but they all seemed blind. When they opened their luggage, they seemed to have no idea that they could see anything. Even Hu Lao San's fragments did not fart when they saw them, and they directly let them into the city without deducting anything.
Facing his eyes full of question marks, the taciturn He Huoluo took the initiative to whisper, "Brother Fifteen has made arrangements in advance."
Although Chen Tu had chosen to trust Gu Liubai unconditionally after his eyes were blind all night, this kind of thing still exceeded his perception. There were a few pieces of Hu Laosan’s fragments that could be clearly seen as a piece of armor!
What is the crime of privately harboring armor in the Tang Dynasty?
Even if they kept doing business for the Bian Jun, Hu Laosan had several handwritings on him at any time, and he would be in trouble every time he passed the customs.
But the people here saw it as if they didn't see it, and they didn't even search them.
