Little General Meng held his stomach and sucked in his breath, and after relieving the pain, he asked, "Has the person who asked for help left?"
Nie Canjun: "Leave early, there are three people in total, Qingqi, only bring water and letters, and they should be able to rush to Gaochang in three days for help."
Little General Meng let out a breath, and after begging Mantian Gods and Buddhas, he remembered, "Is there a monk in your convoy... no, it's an eminent monk."
Man Bao: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Little General Meng coughed lightly and said, "Invite him here, how about I beg Buddha and Bodhisattva again in front of him?"
A few people from Manbao: ...
They didn't think the idea was so good, so they rode away one after another.
Little General Meng curled his lips when he saw that they were all gone, leaning against the car a little sullenly.
There were Zhou Man and Zhou Liru in the team, and they brought enough medicinal materials, so everyone recovered well. After two days of walking, most of the slightly injured could gallop on horseback.
Of course it wasn't perfect, but the pain was within tolerable range and they could wield a sword, so Nie Canjun let them mount their horses.
He felt that the Tubo reinforcements who would catch up at some point was a very serious crisis. Even if they were injured, they had to try their best to keep themselves alive and let others live, so even if they were injured, they had to adapt to the horse.
Their marching speed was not very slow, and they deliberately shortened the noon rest time, so the speed was still very good. On the third day, Nie Canjun rode on a high desert and looked into the distance Said: "If there are no accidents, we can reach Gaochang tomorrow. I seem to see Gaochang City from here."
Man Bao also rode a horse and stood beside him, and looked up for a while, "You read it wrong, there are only clouds over there."
Bai Shan silently pointed to their right side and said, "Gao Chang is over there."
Man Bao was embarrassed for a moment, turned around to look at it, and after looking at it for a long time, he nodded vaguely, "Sure enough, it's still far away, and I didn't see anything."
Nie Canjun's face turned red, but because of his dark face, he couldn't see it clearly. He glanced at Zhou Man and then at Bai Shan. He felt that he hadn't been laughed at, so he nodded and said, "That's right, we're still far away. , can't see anything."
The motorcade passed by under the sandy slope. Bai Erlang raised the curtain and took a look at the high sandy slope. He immediately lowered the curtain. The wind has been a bit strong recently, blowing the sand all over the place, which is very annoying.
Bai Erlang really wanted to go out to play, but he didn't want to go out to bask in the sun, "The sun is so big, what did they say on the sand dunes, how did it take so long?"
Yin Ru said: "If you are interested, you can follow along and have a look."
Bai Erlang took a look outside and shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not Nie Canjun and I don't even look at him at all."
Yin or couldn't help laughing out loud.
Nie Canjun, who Bai Erlang thought had no winks, smiled and was about to go down the sand dunes, leaving this space for the two of them, when suddenly Daji pointed to the distance and asked, "Master, Miss Man, look."
The two of them turned their heads to look in the direction he pointed, because they were too far away to see the specifics vaguely, but they still saw the dust that was raised.
But Nie has experience in joining the army, and he can tell at a glance that a large number of soldiers and horses are coming.
Glancing at Gao Chang's direction, and then turning his head to look at the opposite direction, he immediately said: "It may be an enemy attack, please pay attention to avoid it, hurry up—"
It's all desert, how can they hide
But Man Bao and the others rushed down the sand dunes quickly, shouting and warning.
Nie Canjun also knew that he couldn't hide in the desert, so he turned his head and said to Zhou Man, "My lord, leave your luggage behind and go to Gaochang immediately for help."
Man Bao said: "I am the chief officer, how can I leave the team and escape by myself?"
"But you are a civil servant, not a military officer," Nie Canjun said, "My lord, only you can do what we are going to do in the Western Regions this time. It is important to find a prescription for smallpox epidemic prevention."
Man Bao pursed his lips and couldn't help looking at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan also didn't want to run away by himself, so he held her hand and said, "Let the sirs go first, we will stay with you."
Nie Canjun couldn't help but glared at Bai Shan, thinking that this woman is a confidante, bah, a disaster for a blue face.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Shan opened his mouth, Man Bao immediately became firm, "I'll stay."
After thinking about it, she comforted her again: "If we really have no choice, we will run away. Don't worry, we will definitely not care about you."
Nie Canjun: "...it doesn't have to be like this."
Master Zhiren also rushed over, and he said to them: "If it's a Tubo soldier, maybe I can give it a try."
"How to try?"
Zhiren said: "I can inspire them with Buddhism."
A few people from Manbao: ...
Seeing this, Zhiren couldn't help but smiled, "But some camouflage is needed. You all need to change your armor robes. Don't bring anything with the logo of the Jin Army. You also need to modify a car. Are there any Buddhist artifacts in your luggage?" ?”
Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other, it was true, when they suppressed the bandits and divided up the loot, they almost took all the Buddhist artifacts.
Because they knew that the countries in the Western Regions believed in Buddhism, they thought that it would not lose money to take the Buddhist artifacts to the Western Regions, and there were not many, so they chose it.
At this time, Zhiren needed it, so Manbao nodded to indicate yes.
Zhiren just asked, but he didn't expect them to have them. He was pleasantly surprised and said: "That's easier, how about it? For a while, you pretend to be serving my boys and girls. This team belongs to me. You see Jin Kuian and the others. It's tight, the other Turkic captives are placed outside, well, it's better to change them into better clothes... "
Because the people were still a little far away, Zhiren's instructions were a little more detailed, and Bai Shan finally understood after listening for a while. They are all servants who serve Zhiren and Jiean.
He and Man Bao looked at each other, and although they were not sure if it would be useful, they turned around and made arrangements.
Liu Huan's carriage, which had not been specially modified, was disassembled. Man Bao took out brightly colored silk and satin for the guards, and they hung the silk and satin on after removing the green cloth cover.
Zhou Liru carefully manipulated the satin and gauze to make them look more natural and more beautiful.
Mr. Zhuang also changed his clothes, and after communicating with Master Zhiren, he understood what he was going to do.
He turned around and glanced at the bewildered captives, and said to Man Bao, "Let the guards take out their best clothes and change them into them, and they change into the worn-out clothes on the captives."
Man Bao went to convey the order in a daze.
The guards went to snatch the clothes from the captives in bewilderment, and then put on the good clothes they had put away for them with distressed faces.
God knows how unwilling they are, these people don't know how long it has been since they took a shower, and they can smell the smell even if they don't get close, not to mention they are wearing clothes that they don't have at this moment.
