There is no way. There is so little water along the way that I dare not waste even a drop.
"Give me... give me a drink." The Turkic man stretched out his hand to him.
Zhao Xiu glanced at him, then handed him the water bag with disdain, "There's not much left, drink it sparingly."
The Turks took the water bag and opened their mouths impatiently to pour the water out, spilling it everywhere.
Zhao Xiu was heartbroken and rushed forward to grab the water bag, cursing, "It's leaking everywhere! Did you get a hole in your chin too?"
The whistleblower had been thrown away by Zhao Xiu. Fearing to anger the man, the man threw himself away as well. The Turkic man refrained from retaliating and simply changed the subject, asking, "Where are we going?"
Zhao Xiu wiped his mouth and said without looking up, "Where else can we go? Of course, Beiting, to find Guo Yuanzhen."
"Then why take this road?" When in Gaolan, it was clear that we could go north and go to Beiting via Turkestan.
"Hey, do you think I'm going this way voluntarily?" Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Don't you see that the soldiers are searching for us everywhere? If I go up there, wouldn't that be courting death?"
"It's hunting you." It's not hunting him.
Zhao Xiu put the water bag in his pocket and shouted, "Mei Er, throw this ungrateful bastard out of here!"
"Alright!" Mei Erer said nothing, pulled someone over, lifted up the Turkic man, and called out to the people guarding the cave entrance, "Move the camel out of the way."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Put it down, put it down!" The Turkic man hurriedly grabbed Mei Er's hand and said to Zhao Xiu, "If you throw me away, who will go with you to see Guo Yuanzhen?"
Zhao Xiu stared at him for a while, then waved to Mei Er, who immediately threw the man back.
The Turkic man was knocked unconscious by the fall, and when he regained consciousness, he met Zhao Xiu's gloomy face.
"Why, you're not going to play dumb anymore?"
"You kept me here because I was still useful to you," the Turk asked. "Tell me, why did you insist on dragging me to see Guo Yuanzhen?"
This is a question that the Turks have been thinking about all the time.
The Turks were suspicious, and if Zhao Xiu spoke frankly, it would be difficult for them to believe him, so Zhao Xiu did not answer immediately, but discussed the conditions with him.
"How about this? We each ask a question, and the other person must answer it, and they can't lie. How about that?"
"How do I know if you're lying?"
Zhao Xiu thought for a moment, then pointed at the murals in the cave and said solemnly, "I swear to the goddess of heaven that anyone who tells lies will lose their entire family and their entire family."
The people in the Central Plains value clan and filial piety, and since they can swear an oath on their clan relatives, the Turks will believe it a little more.
Zhao Xiu looked at the Turkic man, "I have sworn an oath, what about you?"
The Turkic man placed his hands on his chest and said, "I swear to the Wolf King that if I tell a lie, he will abandon me and I will die on the battlefield!"
After he finished swearing, he realized that he had inexplicably agreed to Zhao Xiu's proposal, and he suddenly felt a little self-hatred.
How did I fall into his trap again?
"Okay." Zhao Xiu was very satisfied. He asked excitedly, "Then let me ask you first, which Turkic division are you from?"
"Didn't I ask you first?"
“Who’s in charge here?”
The Turkic man took a deep breath and said stiflingly: "Eagle Master."
"Oh..." Zhao Xiu said in a long tone, "I heard that the strongest Turkic army is the Tiger Division, followed by the Leopard Division, and finally the Eagle Division. You..."
He looked the Turk up and down and said, "No wonder he was killed like this."
The Turkic man almost vomited blood and angrily said, "The Eagle Division is the largest Turkic army, but its responsibilities and expertise are different from those of the Tiger and Leopard Divisions. Moreover, our Boluo tribe is the strongest among the Eagle Divisions. If you continue to speak nonsense, believe it or not..."
"What do you mean? You've become like this, what else can you do?" Zhao Xiu saw that he was about to anger the other person, so he immediately softened his tone. "Why are you so petty? We have a saying in the Central Plains that honest advice is unpleasant to the ears but beneficial to action. I say that instead of being angry with me, you should hone your mind and learn to be more careful, so as not to be plotted against again next time."
The Turkic man was so angry that he was speechless, thinking to himself: If he escapes, the first thing I will do is hang this man up and whip him hundreds of times, especially on the mouth!
He mentally whipped Zhao Xiu a hundred and eighty times, and after calming down a bit, he asked sternly, "I've answered your question, but what about yours? Why did you take me to see Guo Yuanzhen?"
"Me." Zhao Xiu looked at the statue of the goddess and clasped his hands in worship, then looked at the Turkic man. "I did this to save my life."
