After the war, ordinary caravans were not allowed to cross the concession and borders. Arshak's sudden attack made the situation in the concession even more tense. Liu Yu and Tagina also planned to do the same, bypassing the border, who knew that the army was already full of troops along the border, and the rangers made patrols one after another. If you forcibly cross the border, you will immediately be treated as a defector or spy, leading to the merciless shooting of the crossbow.
Because the road was blocked, even the teams carrying grain, grass and baggage were stopped now. Liu Yu and Tagina stayed at the pass for the whole morning, except for seeing two men trying to cross the border were shot into hedgehogs by a secret whistle who didn’t know where they were ambushing, and the bodies filled with arrows were thrown in front of the pass for public display. Never saw a person leaving the customs again.
This is different from the southern border. Kangju and Dahan are equivalent to one country. Ensuring that people can pass through the southern border of the concession to the maximum is essential to promoting the economy and development of Kangju. That's why there are almost no defenses in other places except for checkpoints. And going north from here is already a hostile country, how could it not be more tightly guarded.
At the moment when he was unable to do anything, Tagina suddenly yelled: "Look at it."
For novel objects like Telescope, Tagina couldn't put it down. She took it around and looked around when she was fine. She really found the problem.
Liu Yu hurriedly rushed through the thousands of miles, and he saw that there were two adults and a child before the customs, like a family of three, who were negotiating with the guard soldiers. Without much effort, the guardsmen waved their hands. Someone pushed aside the fence in front of the gate, let the family three exits, and restored the tranquility before the gate.
"Others can go there, and we can go too! Go, let's inquire about it." Tajina suddenly took Liu Yu's hand and ran to an inn on the side of the road.
The permanent population of the concession can be roughly divided into four types, one is the army of officials stationed by the imperial court, the other is Han merchants doing business here, the other is the local Parthians who have joined the Han nationality, and the other is It is a Parthian who originally lived here but did not have the nationality of Han. Most of the latter two people set up inns and restaurants in the local area. The owner of this inn is a Parthian who has joined the Chinese nationality. Tagina noticed this the day before yesterday.
Seeing Liu Yu and Tagina coming in, the innkeeper happily greeted them and said with a smile on his face: "You two, stay in the hotel?"
Tajina shook her head and said, "Boss, I want to find out why some people can pass the customs and go north, but some people can't?"
The boss warned: "Who are you? What are you doing?"
Tajina smiled and said, "I'll tell you, my family is over there. I heard that there have been frequent disturbances over there recently. I am worried about the safety of my family and I want to go back and see with my husband."
"That's it. The north is indeed messy enough, so the court doesn't allow people to cross the border casually. But there should be no problem in your situation like this." The innkeeper looked at Tagina, then at Liu Yu, and suddenly said, " It’s just that your husband doesn’t look like a good person..."
Both of them spoke the language of Parthia, and Liu Yu couldn't understand it. Seeing the two of them smiling, Liu Yu only knew how to nod frequently.
Tajina glared at Liu Yu angrily, and said, "My husband is the most honest, why doesn't he look like a good person? And I tell you, he is a Han Chinese."
"I've seen this." The innkeeper smiled and pointed to Fang Tian's painted halberd in Liu Yu's hand, and said, "This should be a weapon. How can anyone swagger through the market with such a long weapon?"
Tajina gritted her teeth and said, "Boss, as long as you can tell me how to pass the level, I will tell you why my husband wears a weapon."
The innkeeper nodded and said, "Actually, it is not difficult to pass the checkpoint. For the convenience of the people, the court can continue to pass freely as long as there are relatives in Parthia. Since your family is there, there should be no problem."
Tajina's home was originally located in Taixi Fengcheng, but later moved to Susa. She met the requirements for customs clearance. She couldn't help being happy, and chatting with Liu Yu's ears for a long time.
Liu Yu understood the innkeeper’s concerns, he hesitated for a while, and suddenly said, “It’s true that I am carrying a weapon underneath. I am a citizen of a big man. He heard that the court is fighting Daqin, and he is willing to abandon Bachizhi. Body, go to the army! The lady is innocent, so I want to send her back to her natal family first, myself..."
"Needless to say, I will help you pass the customs!" The innkeeper stood up excitedly before Liu Yu finished speaking, and said, "Since your wife's house is in the north, customs clearance is barrier-free. The only thing that is in trouble is this weapon. Nothing, let me figure out a solution!"
It turns out that since the Han and Qin wars, the business of the concession inn has also plummeted, and everyone has complained about the Great Qin Empire that provoked the incident. The most important thing is that the innkeeper has already joined the Han nationality. He is now a Parthian with Han nationality and is firmly on the side of the Han.
At noon, a carriage slowly drove towards the front of the pass. Several guard soldiers gathered around and said loudly, "Who? Where are you going?"
The innkeeper jumped out of the car, arched his hands, and said: "Big brothers, Xiaomin's niece is over there. I want to go back to visit relatives. I hope it will be convenient."
The inn was near the border, but the guard soldiers had a bit of an impression of the boss, but they didn’t find it too difficult. They looked around the carriage, then picked up the driving curtain and glanced at it, then suddenly pointed to Liu Yu and asked: "Who is this person?"
The innkeeper said, "This is my niece and son-in-law, who accompanied my daughter-in-law back to her natal house."
Liu Yu smiled and nodded again and again.
A guard soldier glanced at Tagina, and suddenly raised his thumb at Liu Yu, and said, "Okay, little brother, Yanfu is not shallow, and the wife is good enough."
Tajina was afraid that the soldier had become unruly, and she drew back in shock. Liu Yu was also afraid of extra-junctions, so he hurriedly took out a few pieces of marraline from his bag, stuffed it into the soldier's hand, and said repeatedly: "Brothers have worked hard in guarding the gate, and they didn't bring any good things. Please try something. ."
Because the owner of the inn knew that there was a shortage of soldiers at the border, and worried that Liu Yu and the others would not be able to find food on the road, he specially prepared a little marlin for them. In order to dispatch the guards as soon as possible, Liu Yu had to sacrifice the rations for the next few days. come out.
"Little brother, don't hurt us." It is the iron law of the Han army not to take the people one by one. The soldier was willing to pick up his Marrakesh, waved his hand again and again, jumped out of the car, turned and said loudly to his companions, "No problem, let them go. By the way, you should also be careful on the road!"
According to the regulations, everyone must be released after checking their identity certificates. People living in Dahan and the concessions have identity certificates. People with Dahan nationality rely on household registration documents to prove their identity. Others will receive a customs clearance certificate upon entry, which can also prove their identity. . When Liu Yu ran away from home, he took the household registration documents with him, but he did not dare to take them out. As for Tagina, it was simply crossing the border without any proof.
Fortunately, most of the guard soldiers knew the innkeeper and knew that his family was innocent. And more importantly, Tagina is so beautiful. The soldier who got in the car for inspection was a little dizzy. He was worried that he would not sleep for a few nights if he stayed, so he didn’t care about checking their identity. He hurriedly "escaped" out, but let himself miss a great opportunity to do meritorious service.
After passing the checkpoint, he gradually got out of sight of the guard soldiers. The innkeeper knew that the front was in chaos, so he didn't dare to leave, so he exhorted Liu Yu and Tagina to leave in a hurry.
After leaving the land of Dahan, Liu Yu didn’t have to worry about causing others to doubt. He simply carried Fang Tian’s painted halberd on his shoulders, pointed to the fork in front of him and said to Tagina: “There are two roads here, and the other side leads to Daqin. , While leading to Susa. You are a descendant of the Parthian royal family. No one here should dare to embarrass you. It's better to break up with you and me. There will be a period of time later!"
Tajina pursed her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "Who said that I would accompany me back to her family's house just now, it won't count in a blink of an eye."
Liu Yu scratched his head and said, "Isn't that all for the purpose of getting through it?"
"No, no, you want to send me back to Susa." Tajina shook her head like a rattle, and suddenly said, "It's not bad for you to send me back to Susa. I heard that my uncle cut off your food path. , I can persuade my father to open up a new channel for you. In that case, don’t you have done a good job?"
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Your father wants to marry you to Caracalla, and Caracalla is my big man's mortal enemy. You want to persuade your father to give a way to the big man. Is this possible? Don't be delusional! I'm afraid I am here. Susa, but your father will hold him back. I won't do such a foolish thing!"
Tajina's eyes blushed and said: "Don't worry, when you arrive in Susa, I will never reveal your identity. I will tell my father that you saved me and sent me back. He will reward a lot of gold and silver jewelry. You. And I can tell you a secret."
Liu Yu was taken aback and asked: "What's the secret?"
Tajina whispered: "My father and my uncle are deadly enemies. My father will oppose what my uncle supports, and my father will support whatever my uncle opposes. My uncle has now cut off the Han army’s grain road and stood by If you are facing the big man, my father will definitely help the Han army in turn!"
Liu Yu also studied the art of war in the academy, and he knew the principle of the advancement of food and grass before the soldiers and horses were moved. This food road was self-evident to the Han army who was fighting in Daqin. If Tajina can really persuade Aldaban to open up the food passage for the Han army, it would be a real gain. Liu Yu couldn't help hesitating whether to go to Susa or not. Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes in front of him.
