Every time the west wind in Dunhuang blows, it will take away the water from people. Several soldiers following Xue Rengui are talking about the Hu women being too rough. Xue Rengui looks at the soldiers behind him unhappily and asks, "Don't talk about Hu women."

Xue Rengui would remind him this not because of something else, but because he saw that the Hu people were carrying a knife in their hands.

Walking into an inn, the shopkeeper Hu came forward and greeted him enthusiastically.

Pei Xingjian sat in this inn. Seeing the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty coming here, many Hu people left and gave up their seats. Hu people respected the Tang people very much.

When the wine and meat were served, Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian sat together and whispered, "Look at these Hu people, they wear a lot of gold weapons."

Pei Xingjian nodded slightly, "After the Hexi Corridor stabilized, trade here became more frequent. These people were all dealing with Tubo and Persia. Do you know the ants?"

"How come I don't know?" Xue Rengui said.

Pei Xingjian was eating meat, "Actually these people are ants on the business road. They transport a lot of goods. Many businesses in the Gu family started to circulate here. People in Guanzhong will sell things to Hu people here to a higher or less, except for specific caravans."

The team will be rectified here for two days. Pei Xingjian has been in the Hexi Corridor for the past two days and watched many Hu people trade here. He unexpectedly found that the Hu people here are very wealthy, and some Hu people who need to travel far have the appearance of the army.

Xue Rengui was repairing the team, and Pei Xingjian unexpectedly discovered something. Perhaps in a few decades, the Hu people here will grow very strong.

While walking in the Hu people's market, a noble-dressed Hu people came to Pei Xingjian and saluted respectfully, "This respected general, is General Pei Xingjian?"

Seeing that his costume was probably a nobleman among the Hu people, the soldiers who followed Pei Xingjian were immediately alert. When the team came here, Pei Xingjian had never spoken to the Hu people here. How did this Hu people know Pei Xingjian's name?

"We were ready to welcome General Pei Xingjian when he was about to come to the Hexi Corridor." The Hu man said, "It's just that General Pei Xingjian missed the opportunity to welcome the general because of Lu Dongzan's greeting."

"Do you still know Lu Dongzan?" Pei Xingjian asked.

The Hu man smiled, "We have a lot of people doing business with the Tubo people. We have heard of the names of Songzan Gampo and Lu Dongzan, and General Gu Qing and General Su Dingfang are the people we want to go to."

"What's the point of seeing me?" Pei Xingjian said vigilantly to them.

"We have no other intentions." The Hu man smiled and said, "I just want to meet General Pei Xingjian. For us, it is a great honor to meet the generals of the Tang Dynasty."

"I appreciate the good intentions, but we are eager to go back to Chang'an to report to our Majesty, and we cannot stay for too long." Pei Xingjian politely refused.

The Hu man on the other side muttered in a Hu man's words that he couldn't understand. The Hu nobleman who was smiling in front of Pei Xingjian immediately raised his sword and wiped the muttering man in the street and wiped his neck.

This scene came very suddenly. The guard standing beside Pei Xingjian immediately drew his sword and guarded Pei Xingjian in the center.

The Hu man wiped the blood splashed on his face and said, "Sorry, I'm rude. This man actually said that General Pei Xingjian is not. We will kill him. If anyone else is rude to General Pei Xingjian, I will still kill him!"

Pei Xingjian looked at the Hu man in front of him and killed his Hu man in the street. His eyelids were twitching and barbaric words were Pei Xingjian's inner evaluation of these Hu men.

Without saying anything, Pei Xingjian turned around and left, returning to the inn where he stayed, "Ask Xue Rengui if everything is ready, please leave here early."

The rectification of the army was naturally all done and the supply was sufficient. Xue Rengui received the news that he wanted to speed up his time to leave, and also learned about what happened in the Hu people's market. He immediately came to see Pei Xingjian, "What happened?"

"The Hu people here are not simple." Pei Xingjian looked at the Hu people outside from the inn and said, "These Hu people already have a climate. They are rooted in this key area of ​​the trade route, which will sooner or later become a hidden danger."

"Just a small group of Hu people." Xue Rengui said.

Pei Xingjian shook his head, "These people are decisive in killing. This is the main intersection of the business road. We are currently paying attention to the movements between Tubo, India and Persia. I don't know when the Hexi Corridor War had a group of people added."

"Are you afraid that these Hu people will cut off the business road?" Xue Rengui still disagreed. "The business road is not only accessible from here, and many people in Guanzhong will also leave Yumen Pass."

Pei Xingjian was still worried, "These Hu people are not right. They are very organized. They have nobles and servants. They have developed into a prototype. Think about it, what if these Hu people have developed this place into a real pass? The place has begun to grow step by step until many people know that there is a convenient place to sell goods from the Central Plains from here, and many people will come here to trade."

"Wouldn't that be better?" Xue Rengui said, "It's much more convenient."

"That's not good." Pei Xingjian continued to speak, "This tribe is getting stronger and stronger, which will become a hidden danger. What if this tribe is restless? People here have become richer and stronger by relying on business roads. Business roads are their lifeblood. If business roads change, what will they do? It is imperative to develop maritime trade in the Central Plains. Business roads will be lonely one day. What will they do when they serve them?"

"If I don't have a place to eat, I will fight for it." Xue Rengui said.

"This is one aspect, and there is another problem that business roads are getting stronger and stronger," Pei Xingjian said again. "As they grow stronger, the Tang Dynasty will pay more and more attention to their existence because of business roads. For the Tang Dynasty, they may become a threat in the future. What I said may be a bit far away."
