In fairness, Arshak's ability is stronger than Ardaban, and with the help of Remitu, he would not make such a low-level mistake under normal circumstances. It was just that he defeated the Han army and regained the lost ground, which made Arshak a little forgetful. Secondly, he also needed the support of nobles and wealthy people to keep his succession to the throne.
In fact, Arshak also knew that it was the "horse thieves" who harmed these nobles and rich people, and had nothing to do with ordinary people. He did this just to show the other nobles and rich people an attitude that he stood firmly on their side. What is the expectation that these sheep-like people and slaves, who were originally meek, will actually rise up. Although he has a large army of 100,000 under him, he has to guard Ekbatana, prevent the retreat of the Han army in the northwest, and prevent the Han army from going northward. He is already a little stretched, and he can only deal with these rebellious people. Tired of running.
It was said that Liu Yu and Tagina "escaped" out of Beitian City and repelled the wolves, but the horses had been torn to pieces by wild wolves, and they could only walk on two feet. Tagina is usually spoiled, panting for three to five miles, and she can't walk anymore. Helpless, Liu Yu had to carry her on his back, and finally, before the sun set, he finally vaguely saw a checkpoint located at the southernmost end of the Han Concession.
"Look! Here! Here! Ouch..." Tagina slapped Liu Yu's shoulder excitedly and yelled in the direction of the checkpoint, but unexpectedly, Liu Yu shook her shoulders and threw her heavily into the grass. Immediately exhaled in pain, pouting a small mouth with aggrieved face.
"Don't make a sound!" Liu Yu scolded, took out a telescope from his arms and looked towards the checkpoint to observe carefully. He said after a long while, "I can't make it through."
Tajina found that Liu Yu was ignoring her aegyo, and she was angry, but she couldn't hear it anymore, and she couldn't help getting nervous. She straightened up and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Yu handed the Thousand Miles Mirror to her hand, and said lightly: "Look at it for yourself."
Because there is no way to produce glass, the mirror surface of the telescope is made of crystal, which is very precious. Even in the Han army, only a few high-ranking generals can equip it. Liu Yu's telescope was not used in the military, but a simple telescope specially made by Ma Yun when he explained the knowledge of lenses to them.
The magnification and resolution of this telescope are far inferior to the telescope equipped in the Han Army, but for Tagina, it is definitely a rarity. She took the telescope suspiciously, and then she waved her small fist and screamed: "Ah! Look, look, those people seem to be right in front of you! Um..."
Liu Yu tightly covered Tajina's mouth, and said angrily: "Be quiet, do you want to draw them over!"
Tagina pushed away Liu Yu's hand, stuck out her tongue mischievously, and raised her telescope to look in the direction of the checkpoint. She also pointed and said, "Isn't it your righteous sister who is standing in front of the checkpoint? She's so fierce like that... Also, your brother will enjoy it, lying on the soft couch eating grapes... Ah, Laura's little girl is also there, she seems to have changed into new clothes..."
"Okay, don't look at it." Liu Yu grabbed the telescope and said with a sad face, "just think of a way, how can we get there!"
Tajina spread her hands and said, "You are a man, you want to find a way."
Liu Yu raised his hands and almost wanted to beat her, but finally resisted, and said in a low voice, "I am not familiar with the path, you are a local, you should know if there is a path to pass. After this After the checkpoints, it should be fine, and it is good for everyone."
Tajina smiled slyly and said, "So, are you begging me?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth with hatred, but he could only lower his body, squeeze a smile, and said, "Yes, yes, I beg you, is there any shortcut?"
Tajina said triumphantly: "There are shortcuts, but you have to promise me one thing."
Liu Yu asked vigilantly: "What's the matter?"
Tajina said: "I haven't thought about it yet. I will tell you when I think about it. But you can agree to it now."
Liu Yu thought for a while and said seriously: "As long as it does not harm the interests of the Han Dynasty, I can promise you!"
Tagina nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly asked: "Can you swim?"
Most Parthians are not good at water, and as a noble woman, Tagina can't swim even more. When escaping to the city of Susa, she and Laura spent a long time in a stream for a long time in order to wash away the stench on the dung truck. As a result, the water suddenly rose, and the two of them almost didn't drown in it. But Liu Yu is different. Liu Xin is proficient in water and has built a swimming pool in the prefecture, so Liu Yu and his brothers used to play in the water when they were young. There is the Yangtze River in the south of Xiangyang and the Han River in the north. When Liu Yu and the others are a little older, Liu Xin will take them to the real river to experience, so Liu Yu has also learned to be a good water player.
When he heard Tagina asked him if he could swim, Liu Yu said without hesitation: "Except for the sea, I have never been to any big rivers!"
Tagina has a good memory. She spent some time in the concession, vaguely remembering that there was a small river more than ten miles east from the checkpoint. It was a remote place with few pedestrians, but it was a shortcut to steal across the border, but when she thought of the last time she was in danger at the creek, Tagina felt a little palpitating.
Liu Yu laughed and said, "Why don't you worry, let me take you there."
When the two people tried their best to find the small river, the sky was already completely dark. Tajina flinched suddenly, and said, "I'm afraid."
Liu Yu took the telescope and observed it for a while, and was sure that there was no one on the other side. Then he took off his shirt, rolled up his trousers, and said, "I'll carry you!"
Tajina was startled, and asked repeatedly: "Can you swim even if you carry me?"
Liu Yu shook his head and said, "No, but I can try treading water."
However, Liu Yu overestimated himself this time. He does tread water, even if he wears a light armor, there is no problem, but now he is carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd, and then carrying a big living person on his back. The situation is completely different, and he simply can't step on it.
In desperation, Liu Yu had to say: "I have another way. You fall on your back on the water and I will drag you ashore."
What Liu Yu used was actually a method of rescuing those who fell into the water, dragging swim from behind. It's just that Tagina's current situation is different from falling into the water, and she needs to take the initiative to lie down in the water. Tagina tried several times, but none of them met Liu Yu's requirements. Liu Yu couldn't help it anymore, and dragged Tagina to swim towards the middle of the river.
Tajina struggled desperately and hugged Liu Yu tightly. This time she behaved like a real drowning person, and this situation is also extremely dangerous and often drags down the rescuer.
However, Liu Yu had been taught by Ma Yun early and knew how to deal with this situation. He dived into the water with a fierceness, and Tagina naturally refused to sink into the water with him. She slapped the water desperately and let go of her hand.
Liu Yu suddenly stood up, looked at Tajina who was still struggling in the water and laughed, and said, "Get up quickly, you don't need to swim. The water is so shallow, you can just walk over it! My mother was right. No investigation, no right to speak."
It turned out that the water in this small river was not deep, but because it was dark, they did not see the condition of the small river clearly. When Tagina was dragged up from the water by Liu Yu and stood up straight, the water only reached her waist. If it was daytime, they would never make such a mistake. However, the deeper you go to the middle of the river, the deeper the river. When it was almost at the heart of the river, the river water had already reached Tajina's neck, and she was so frightened that she did not dare to move on. Having reached the heart of the river, Liu Yu naturally wouldn't shrink back, half coaxing and half scared, dragging and dragging, finally reached the other side of the river.
After the river is the concession area, the clothes of both people are soaked. Liu Yu didn't care, took it off, twisted it, and put it on again, but Tagina couldn't. Although these alien women were open-minded, Tagina refused to take off her clothes in front of Liu Yu, but the clothes stuck to her body wet, and it was very uncomfortable. And she is not like Liu Yu, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, she will definitely catch cold and get sick after a long time.
There was a hill not far away, and Liu Yu had to say, "Let's go, look for a cave over there, and dry the clothes before leaving."
Their luck was pretty good. They really found a cave. There was even ready-made firewood in the cave. It was probably a place where hunters usually sheltered from wind, rain and warmth. With the last experience on the grassland, Liu Yu quickly raised a bonfire.
Regardless of Tagina's young age, but Western girls developed early, Tagina's figure is already quite slim. Now, the drenched clothes clung to her tightly, setting off an exquisite body with unevenness.
Liu Yu lives in the palace, surrounded by beautiful beauties, but Ma Yun's tutor is very strict. Although he has already booked a marriage for him, he has never had such close contact with a young woman. He suddenly became embarrassed and said nothing. After walking outside the cave, Tagina's "eat" laugh came from behind.
At dawn the next day, all of Tagina's clothes were dried, and Liu Yu's clothes were still moist, but he was in good health and he didn't care. Leaving the cave and continuing north, there was no interrogation along the way. It turned out that Lu Qiling brought Bian Zhang and Laura to the checkpoint in the concession the previous afternoon, a full day earlier than Liu Yu and the others. Lu Qiling judged that Liu Yu had not yet entered the concession, so she only checked closely at the checkpoint, but did not expect Liu Yu to cross the boundary river.
There is a special place in the concession for the relief of those who have failed in business and have no livelihood. As long as they have the status of a Chinese national, they can receive relief. And Liu Yu's Han Chinese face is proof, so eating on the way is not a problem. However, when they arrived at the northernmost part of the concession, how to exit became a problem.
