    Tieniu followed Qiu Tianbao back to the vestibule, and Tieniu said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, where is my horse?"

    "Oh, your horse is in the stable, what do you want it for?"

    Tie Niu laughed and said: "In the bundle on my horse, there is still more than a thousand taels of silver. This time I will follow you to the Dulong Pass. I'm afraid I won't need this little money. Why don't I just send it to you?"  It is stored in your house, and I will take it from you when I leave.

    Brother Qiu, do you think this will work?  "

    Qiu Tianbao smiled.

    "Why can't this work? Don't worry, we won't be able to leave it at home.

    Hey, brother Tieniu, what are you doing with so much money in the capital?  "

    Tie Niu laughed and said, "Didn't I come here with my brother to pick up your younger siblings? I want to buy some bolts of good cloth from the capital and make some new clothes for her. Isn't it a coincidence that we met her?"  Is there something wrong with Prince Qiu's Mansion?

    Hey, that matter had to be postponed for a while.  "

    Qiu Tianbao was ashamed when he heard that!

    "Brother Tieniu, I'm really sorry, my Qiu family has dragged you down, so what can I, Qiu Tianbao, say?"

    "Brother Qiu, don't say anything, there is no one who is embarrassed! It's okay for us buddies not to know about this matter. If we know, we can't ignore it.

    Who told us to be friends!  If you don't want to do anything for your friends, isn't that a friend?  "

    Qiu Tianbao laughed and said, "Let's go, let's take it, Ge'er. If it gets lost in my Prince Qiu's mansion, it will be easy to talk about it."

    Tie Niu laughed and said: "Wait, call my brother, I guess he also has silver in his bag, and we brothers will put the silver with you later."

    "Well, that's fine, then I'll call him."

    After finishing speaking, Qiu Tianbao turned and ran to the study.

    When I got to the study, I saw Duan Wuji sitting on a chair in the study and taking a nap.

    I saw that Duan Wuji closed his eyes tightly and breathed lightly, as if sleeping but not sleeping.  The white air above the head is three feet high, and the green air rises from the boots under the feet.

    Qiu Tianbao was shocked when he saw it.

    "Brother Wuji, my living god, what's wrong with you, why do you look like this?

    Can scare my brother to death.  "

    Following Qiu Tianbao's words, the white air above Duan Wuji's head suddenly disappeared, and Duan Wuji suddenly opened his eyes.

    "Hey, Brother Qiu, what did you exclaim just now?

    It scared people a lot.  "

    "Ah? Brother, you were not asleep just now? I thought you were asleep just now.

    Brother, what happened to you just now?  Why was there steaming white gas on the top of this head just now?  "

    Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Brother Qiu, did your eyesight look bad just now? How can there be white gas on my head?"

    "Is it eating? Why is the white gas gone? Could it be that I read it wrong? But it's impossible, right?"

    Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, what can I do for you?"

    "Oh, Tie Niu said just now that there might be silver on your horses, is that true?"

    Duan Wuji immediately understood after listening to 3.

    "Well, there is indeed silver on my horse, but it's not much, only three hundred taels. Hey, brother Qiu, what's the matter with you?"

    Qiu Tianbao laughed and said, "Just now, Brother Tieniu said that he has some silver in his horse, and he intends to temporarily store it in my Prince Qiu's mansion, and he will pick it up when he leaves. He said that your horse might also have silver, so he asked  I'll come and ask."

    "Oh, so that's the case, that's fine, then I will follow you and take the silver, and we will take it together when we leave."

    Having said that, Duan Wuji followed Qiu Tianbao to the stable, and the two of them handed over the money bags to Qiu Tianbao.

    Tieniu said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, you can count."

    "Hey, so much for this, why should I count it? I'll take it in and give it to my mother. Don't worry, one or two of you will be indispensable."

    After finishing speaking, Qiu Tianbao came out carrying two bags.

    The two of them ate and drank well. She lived in Prince Qiu's Mansion, and passed away in a flash for more than a day.

    On the morning of the third day, Duan Wuji and Tieniu packed up their luggage, followed Tianping Wang Qiurui and his son to gather 10,000 soldiers from the school military field and headed straight for Dulong Pass.

    The Dulong Pass is located in the northwest of Shaanxi Province, seven or eight hundred miles away from the capital, and the brigade is far away from the capital.After leaving the capital, they traveled day and night and headed straight for the Dulong Pass. The farther the team went to the northwest, the less and less people lived there, and the scenery became more and more desolate.

    But see that: the luxuriant grass and the sparse villages, the farmers work hard to support the plow.  Planting in spring and hoeing in summer looking forward to harvest in autumn, but the beacon smoke is still far away.

    After six or seven days of hard work, at noon that day, the team finally arrived at Dulong Pass.

    Duan Wuji didn't know why this place was called Dulong Pass until he arrived at this place.

    It turns out that there is a high mountain running from southwest to northeast in this place. This mountain is ten thousand zhang high, and many peaks reach into the sky.

    Duan Wuji couldn't help but nodded when he saw it.

    "Well, this mountain is really a natural screen against the Turkic people. With this mountain in the way, it is very difficult for the Turkic people to rush over."

    The so-called Dulong Pass, to put it bluntly, is a natural gap in the mountain. The gap is wide in the east and narrow in the west. The wide part is about ten miles wide, and the narrow part is only a dozen feet wide.

    This is really a place where you can't open it!

    Duan Wuji was relieved when he saw it, and thought: Once this place is guarded, the Turkic people will never want to rush over.

    Alas, I don't know how long the Turkic people will retreat after guarding this place.

    When the soldiers guarding the gate saw the arrival of the Xu army, they were overjoyed, especially the chief general who guarded the city, when he saw the mighty army arriving.

    Immediately led the deputy general to greet him.

    Seeing this, the old prince quickly reined in the horse and jumped off the horse.

    When the main guard of the gate saw him, he hurriedly led the generals to bow their hands and salute.

    "Thousands of years of the Wang family, I didn't expect that you, the old man, came to command in person. Now our Dulong Pass can be regarded as defended."

    Seeing this, Qiu Rui said with a smile: "Generals, thank you for coming to welcome me, let's go, let's go to the treasure tent of the Chinese Army to discuss this matter together."

    The old prince Niutou said to his two lieutenants: "Organize soldiers and set up camp on the spot. Everyone has traveled for so long. Let's rest early today."

    The two lieutenants listened to Lieutenant Li and took the order and left.

    The old prince led Qiu Tianbao, Duan Wuji and Tieniu immediately followed the gatekeeper general to the big tent in the camp.

    After entering the big tent, the old prince took the main seat, and Qiu Tianbao, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu sat beside the old prince.

    The chief general and deputy general guarding the pass also returned to their seats one by one.

    The old prince glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Generals, this old man is in charge of military affairs here today. You must listen to orders, advance when you hear the drum, and retreat when you hear the gong. From today on, whoever dares to make his own decisions, don't blame the old man when the time comes."  Turn your face and be merciless."

    Everyone bowed their hands together.

    "Thousands of years of the Wang family, we are willing to respect the military order and join hands to guard this Dulong Pass. Once the border pass is lost, how many people of our Sui people will be killed!"

    The old prince listened and nodded.

    "Well, that's good. May I ask the guard, how many guards are there in our Dulong Pass?"

    "My lord, there are still 6,800 defenders at Dulong Pass. The injured and unable to participate in the battle are not included."

    "Oh, there are only so many people now!"

    "Isn't it? Otherwise, why would we have to complain to the court again and again. If this pass is lost, the loss is not trivial.

    In the past, we had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses here. Didn't many brothers die in battle?  "

    The old prince listened and nodded.

    "Everyone, the soldiers and horses that this king brought are not many, only 10,000 people. With just our soldiers and horses, if we switch to fight the Turkic people, we will lose all our money in a few days.  However, if we can't stick to it, I understand that the group of Turkic people can't do anything to us.

    Dear generals, do you understand what this king means?  "

    "Thousands of the Wang family, we understand, that is, we can't avoid the battle, what if the Turkic people come to tackle the problem?"

    "What should we do? Let's use strong bows and crossbows to face them, and prepare a lot of rolling logs and stones on the top of the city. We don't lack these things here, right?"

    "Well, there are indeed quite a few of these things on the towers, otherwise we would not be able to hold them. Now we are all supported by these things."

    "Well, that's good, you have to be more vigilant, and report to me immediately if you have anything.

    Let's stop here today. Tomorrow morning, the king will formally call the o'clock. Except for those on duty, all other personnel will participate.  "

    After finishing speaking, the old prince stood up.

    "Tianbao, Wuji, Tieniu, let's go, follow me back to our camp, let's come back together tomorrow morning." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com)Let's come together again in the morning.  "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
