Yellow sand and blue water are two different worlds, and we ride our horses westward towards Yangguan.
Under the leadership of Zhi Tong, Zhao Xiu and others finally walked out of the vast wilderness and arrived at Yangguan. Standing on the lonely mountain, they looked at this majestic northwestern pass from afar, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in their hearts.
"Brother Zhi Tong, are you planning to go back to the village or go out for a walk?" Zhao Xiu asked Zhi Tong.
Zhi Tongdao: "I'm going to Loulan."
Loulan is in the west, Beiting is in the north. Zhao Xiu said reluctantly: "After we pass this customs, we will go our separate ways."
Zhi Tong asked, "Brother Zhao, will you return to Chang'an in the future?"
Zhao Xiu glanced at Ayan Lianshan and said, "Maybe he will come back, maybe not, who knows?"
"I'm going to Loulan to find my father's former caravan. I want to trade with them and go to Chang'an." Zhi Tong said with longing, "I haven't been to Chang'an yet, but I heard it's the most prosperous capital in the world."
Then, he grabbed Zhao Xiu's arm and asked, "If I go to Chang'an and ask your name, can I find you?"
"Of course, I, Zhao Xiu, am very famous in the capital. Everyone knows me." Zhao Xiu said, patting his shoulder. "But you'd better not mention my name."
"Why?"
"Because I'm famous but also annoying."
Ayan Lianshan nodded when he heard this. This man is quite self-aware.
Zhi Tong said, "I think Brother Zhao is a very good person. He knows everything and is very smart. Why would anyone hate you?"
During these days, he asked Zhao Xiu many questions about Chang'an and Dasheng. Zhao Xiu told him everything he knew and taught him many principles he had never heard before.
He clearly looks like a kind and tolerant brother.
"There are quite a few people who hate me." Zhao Xiu sighed, hands on his hips, then laughed, "There are even people who write manifestos, book a restaurant, and curse me to death in front of millions of people."
"What is a manifesto?"
"It's just a denunciation document."
Ayan Lianshan listened from the side and couldn't help but secretly praise the warrior who scolded Zhao Xiu for his good work. The bastard should be scolded to death. It was a pity that he missed the scene, which must have been exciting.
Zhi Tong frowned and asked, "He scolded you, why weren't you angry?"
Zhao Xiu said, "Because I think he was right to scold me."
Zhitong: "I don't understand."
A Yan Lianshan continued, "What's there to understand? He must have done something immoral and that's why he was scolded. Naturally, he doesn't have the face to get angry."
Zhao Xiu turned to look at him, "You're really resentful."
Ayan Lianshan sneered.
Zhi Tong cursed at Ayan Lianshan, "You know nothing! Haven't you Turks done enough wicked things?"
He tolerated this bastard again and again, but he still got ahead of himself!
A Yan Lianshan was about to curse back when he heard Zhao Xiu say sarcastically, "People who do bad things and get scolded don't have the face to get angry."
He felt a breath stuck in his chest and almost suffocated to death. He wanted to throw both of them off the mountain and smash the Yangguan Pass.
Mei Er sighed on the side, these Turks are really tactless, why did you provoke them?
Zhao Xiu was relieved to see the Turkic barbarian defeated, so he waved and said, "Let's go without delay."
Zhi Tong stopped him, saying, "The Yangguan Pass has been very strict lately, especially against the Turks. He's already here, so he won't die. Why not give him some water and food and throw him away to avoid any trouble?"
"You bastard!" Ayan Lianshan wanted to rush over and beat Zhi Tong up, but was stopped by Mei Er.
Zhao Xiu pretended to be a Buddha and sang: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Although his sins are grave, it is still a life after all."
Hearing this, Zhi Tong felt ashamed of himself, and then said to Ayan Lianshan: "Look!"
"What are you looking at? Are you looking at this damn fox pretending to be a good person to deceive a little idiot like you?" Ayan Lianshan was so angry that the knife edge hurt.
Zhi Tong said angrily: "Who are you calling an idiot?"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Mei Er quickly came up to mediate and helped A Yan Lian Shan aside, "Why are you so angry with the child?"
Zhao Xiu also put his arm around Zhi Tong's shoulders and said, "Let's not argue with these Turkic barbarians." Then he added, "Don't worry, we have a way to get through this."
Zhi Tong glared at A Yan Lian Shan several times, but finally calmed down after Zhao Xiu persuaded him, "That's good."
Zhao Xiu took out a purse from her bosom and stuffed it into Zhi Tong's pocket, saying, "This is a little gift from me. Thank you for leading the way for us."
Zhi Tong refused to accept it. "I don't want it. I'm leading you on my own accord."
"Aren't you going to Loulan to find a caravan to do business? Business requires capital. I'll cover this capital for you first. When you make money and come to Chang'an, you can return it to me."
"Okay then." Zhi Tong was indeed short of money, so he accepted it and then promised, "I will definitely pay you back."
Zhao Xiu rubbed his head and said, "You go first. We'll meet again if we're lucky."
Zhi Tong wanted to go into the pass with them, but he could hear a hint of unwillingness in Zhao Xiu's gentle tone, so he had to say goodbye to everyone reluctantly and headed towards Yangguan alone on horseback.
Seeing him standing for a long time in the direction where Zhi Tong left, Ayan Lianshan said sarcastically, "You are so generous to him."
He is so stingy when he wants to treat his own illness.
"He's different." Zhao Xiu turned around, "He's clean."
A Yan Lianshan was speechless for a moment, and after a while he said, "How are you going to help me get through customs?"
Previously, it was tightly guarded, and the inspections at the checkpoints were not strict, so it was possible to get through. But this Yangguan Pass is different. The defenses have always been strict, and now there are strict inspections, which may not be easy.
"Simple." Mei Er took out a caravan pass from his bag. It stated that there was a Hu slave accompanying them. He pointed it out to Ayan Lianshan and said, "Look."
