Several Tang troops stepped forward, and two Tubo army supervisors were taken away. Before leaving, they turned around frequently and conveyed their inner thoughts with sad eyes.

In fact, they don’t have to worry. Li Jun really doesn’t plan to kill them now. Not only will he not kill them now, but he will not have the will to kill for a long time in the future.

From the point of view of the original intention, Li Jun is a very kind person, really.

But there are no places where kind people can be tolerated on the battlefield with swords and swords.

If he had not forced himself to destroy all the Tubo soldiers. If he had not been forced, he would have destroyed his subsequent plans.

The food and grass are not much more than that, so the food promised to give to Tubo has long been in Li Jun's pocket.

Of course, Li Jun has always been a great charity. Tuyuhun only took 50,000 stones of grain to store, and the rest was left in Fuqi City.

There was neither a comprehensive sweep nor a lack of food for the Tuyuhun people. This way of handling was already interesting.

Next, he was guarding the Yongjia Cang town, waiting for news about Wu Yanzong.

Zhangye City, one of the fortresses of the ancient Silk Road, had its city prospered from the Western Han Dynasty's strategy for the Western Regions countries.

In the sixth year of Yuanding of Emperor Wu of Han, he took Zhang Guo's arm and was named after the meaning of connecting to the Western Regions. Since then, Zhangye City has become an important barrier and a strategic center on the ancient Silk Road.

Here, there are abundant water and grass, prosperous livestock, and considerable grain output. They were very famous in the Tang Dynasty, Jiangnan, and a wealthy place.

Zhangye River, named after Zhangye City, was also called Heishui and Qianggu Water in history. Now Wuyanzong is on one end of this river, looking at Zhangye City on the other side.

Starting from Fuqi City, he and Chen Jiao traveled separately from Li Jun. Li Jun went to Yongjia Cang, located on the edge of Dafeichuan, and intercepted the Wuqitu grain transport team.

Wu Yanzong took Chen Jiaoxing to the front line to meet with the Niu Shinzeng.

There must be a special person responsible for explaining Li Jun’s various strategies.

He was about to reach the control of the Protectorate's Palace, but the river in front of him could not pass by no means.

This time, the two of them secretly acted, followed Li Jun's advice, and put on makeup to become a Tubo merchant.

Li Jun handed them two wooden vouchers, with the words "Perfect Divide" written in Tubo text.

According to the Tuyuhun defenders who are familiar with the inside story of Tubo, this is left by the Tubo merchants who are in contact with each other.

It is definitely a Tubo border pass that is fake, without any fake ones.

With them, Chen Jiao and Wu Yanzong were unobstructed all the way without any hindrance.

But now, the situation has changed a lot and is difficult to deal with.

In front of me, the Tubo watchtower suddenly appeared.

There were more than a dozen soldiers in front of the watchtower, responsible for checking the pedestrians who were coming and going. They looked serious and not only had to check the certificates, but also searched them. Tubo soldiers stood on both sides of the city gate, with iron spears standing horizontally, checked one, and let one go.

Wu Yanzong noticed that whenever every pedestrian walked through the checkpoint, the Tubo soldiers had to roll up their sleeves, check it, and then let it go one by one if it was correct.

Wu Yan Zongqi said: "Master Chen, what are you checking?"

Unlike Wu Yanzong, who had a gloomy face, Chen Jiao looked relaxed, grabbed the reins of the horse, and said Yiran: "Cha Sashishi."

"Sashimi?"

"Yes, the Tubo people are martial and brave. Ten adult men have sashimi."

"So that's it." Wu Yanzong stroked his bare arms, and felt a pain.

Now it is already at this critical moment, where does he come to have a tattoo?

The horse hoof was rushing around, and Wu Yanzong was so anxious that he was desperate. As time passed, fewer and fewer people were queuing in front of the city gate, he suddenly remembered something.

"Master Chen, the investigation is so strict, how did you come here?"

Chen Jiao smiled and turned his head: "Come with me!"

If you want to pass the level in front of you, there is only the path in front of you. Chen Jiao did not move forward, but instead took Wu Yanzong into the grass next to you.

The two tied the war horses to the small tree beside the road, stepped on the grass everywhere, and drilled into the depths of the wilderness.

After about half a stick of incense, the grass in front of me seemed to have no end, but the destination of both of them arrived.

Just under the feet that Wu Yanzong did not notice, a stone statue suddenly appeared.

The statue's gray body was mottled with green marks and weeds attached to it. Wu Yanzong squatted down and pulled the moss down bit by bit, finally seeing the figure's face clearly.

It’s strange. How could there be statues of gods worshipped by Han people appear on the Tubo territory?

"How come there is a statue of Marquis Jiang here?"

Chen Jiao stuffed the hem of his clothes into his belt to facilitate movement.

"It was established by Tuyuhun people more than ten years ago."

Tuyuhun people? Statue of the God of War who worshipped the Han people?

He couldn't believe how this matter sounded so magical. When he looked up, Chen Jiao also cleaned the slippery moss and shouted: "Come here to help!"

"good!"

The two of them tried hard together, gritted their teeth and worked hard, and the statue actually began to move.

squeak... squeak...

The stone statue was carrying the whole body, and a black hole suddenly appeared. When the sun shone, the situation inside was clear.

Without Chen Jiao's words, Wu Yanzong also understood what this stone statue is for.

It turned out that under the base of this heavy stone statue, there was a secret passage hidden!

There were only two of them in the vast wild grassland, and Wu Yanzong was a little weak.

He confronted Chen Jiao and said in confusion: "Master Chen, let's go in, what should we do if this stone statue?"

He opened his hands and made a rotating move. Chen Jiao smiled honestly and said, "Don't worry, someone will come here to restore it to its original position later."

The file and the flames flew, and the sparks flew. Chen Jiao lit the candle, and the two leaned into the cave.

Wu Yanzong walked down the stone level tremblingly and looked around, only to find that this secret passage was not built temporarily.

The stone walls on both sides of the road were polished very smoothly, and candlesticks were fixed on the top of the walls, and the white candles on them were also lit.

Chen Jiao used his hands to protect the flames and lit the candlesticks on both walls. The flames trembled slightly, illuminating the way ahead.

The two of them moved forward quickly. Along the way, the origin of this close path gradually became clear through Chen Jiao's words.

Everything was because Wu Yanzong was too concerned. This secret passage was neither a gift from Tubo, nor the Tang army secretly excavated with huge risks.

For many years, he had forgotten an important thing as he traveled around.

This was once the old land of Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun ruled here for 120 years. This secret passage actually came from their hands.

In the era of war when Tubo and the Tang Dynasty repeatedly fought for the old Tuyuhun land, the Tuyuhun aristocrats who were in the cracks had long predicted their own destiny.

They selected the border intersection of several countries along the Zhangye River to dig secret passages so that they could escape when the situation was critical.

Although such a plan was not successful in the end, the old Tuyuhun nobles either died or fell into the hands of Tubo, the secret passage was completely preserved.

And, except for the Tuyuhun nobles, no one knew its existence.
