Legend of Fire Worship

Chapter 11, Dunhuang, Meet

Dunhuang belonged to the Han Dynasty for only 20 years. At this time, the Han people in Dunhuang were rare, mostly Hu people, and even Xiongnu. The people who fled to settle down in the Western Regions became the largest network in Dunhuang. At first glance, it is difficult to feel that this is the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Because there are often Xiongnu cavalry disturbing the situation, Dunhuang's city defense is extremely strict. Before reaching Dunhuang City, the sentry in front of it has stopped the Han army. Several horsemen came out, brought up a walk of dust, and stopped 50 steps in front of the Han army.

Fu Jiezi stopped the team. Yin Yin looked at Dunhuang City and was very relieved. She unconsciously lifted her hair and said, "Fair, Dunhuang is so beautiful. Our Han army is still quite deterrent here."

Fu Jiezi corrected, "It's not beautiful, it's majestic."

"Oh, yes, the city is high and strong, and the pillow is connected to the north, which is really extraordinary." After saying that, Yin Yin pulled Su Qiaoer and said, "Qiaoer, we will return to the Han Dynasty when we enter the city. It will be much easier to inquire about people in Dunhuang. My father-in-law has something to do. I will accompany you to the city to find it."

Fu Jiezi smiled and said, "You just want to walk around the city. When you get to the city, I will go to see the county guard. It would be much better for him to come forward to find someone."

As he was talking, the Han army brigade in front came out. The defenders here did not know Fu Jiezi. Fu Jiezi showed them the official document and thought that the Han army would be released, but he didn't expect that the Han army had no intention to let it go, so they still asked for the documents in and came out after a long time.

The gate of Dunhuang sounded with a heavy lock. After the gate opened, a team of Han troops ran out. The leader was Geng Long, the county guard of Dunhuang, surrounded by his brother Geng Hu. Both of them were dressed in military uniforms. After Fu Jiezi saw it, Geng Hu looked very enthusiastic, and Geng Long was a little embarrassed.

Don't ask about the past. This is what Fu Jiezi told himself repeatedly when he came to Dunhuang. After a cold noise, Geng Long let the Han army enter the city and said, "General Fu, we have read the official documents from the Western Regions and asked the court for instructions, but we have not received a reply so far, but I heard that something happened to the court."

Fu Jiezi got the approval of the general, and the affairs of the court should not be passed on to the border customs. Although Geng Long is not an outsider, it is not convenient to say more. "The specific situation is not clear. This time, the court urgently called Fu back to the court. I think it is important."

Geng Long took the team to take the Han army into the city and went directly to the county guard's mansion. The official warehouse was nearby. The Han army quickly settled down. Fu Jiezi promised Su Qiaoer to find someone. The first thing he did when he arrived in Dunhuang was to ask Geng Long about the situation. He didn't want Geng Long to be more anxious than him and said, "General Fu, have you come here this time? Arriving at Loulan?"

Fu Jiezi answered truthfully, and Geng Long looked a little gloomy and said, "Is my sister's remains still in the home? I heard that the old king also passed away.

Fu Jiezi struggled in his heart. Do you want to tell Geng Long the inside story of the killing of the old king? Sizhi stopped again and again and said, "The old king did die not long ago. He was buried in the royal mausoleum." Geng Long's face turned pale and said, "I have repeatedly asked the court to bring the bones of my sister back to the Han Dynasty, but the court has never heard back. This time General Fu returned to the Han Dynasty, remember to say a few words for me in front of the general. Please."

Geng Hu also said, "General Fu, the court not only does not allow us to pick up the remains of our sister, but also does not allow us to visit Loulan. We are a blood and blood. This order is too inhumane. I hope General Fu can speak more."

Fu Jiezi said, "This matter is related to the situation in the Western Regions. I think the general has his own scruples. I will say for the two of you, as for the general's permission, then there is nothing I can do." After saying that, he paused and said, "This time in Dunhuang, something important happened to Loulan. Some days ago, the detained Han people were released, and some of them were still missing."

Fu Jiezi talked about the whereabouts of Su's father. Geng Long said, "It's a coincidence that the Xiongnu soldiers came to plunder the territory a few days ago, and we happened to save a caravan. However, General Fu, the caravan has been robbed by the Huns, and most of the personnel are dead. That Su Fugui was also seriously injured..." Fu Jiezi said urgently: " Where is he?"

Geng Long said, "It's in the library."

......

"Wow, Dad..." Su Qiaoer and Fu Jiezi rushed to the library. Fu Jiezi didn't recognize anyone, so Su Qiaoer already cried and ran forward. Fu Jiezi and Yin Yin looked at each other and hurried over. Geng Hu said, "General Fu, this is your father-in-law?"

Fu Jiezi couldn't help but vaguely and said, "What's wrong with him?"

Geng Hu said, "It's very bad. I was stabbed in the back. I'm afraid I lost half of my life. Fortunately, we saved it in time and saved my life, but I'm afraid it won't be better in a year and a half." Fu Jiezi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go in and have a look."

Geng Hu took the two in. Sure enough, he saw Father Su lying on the couch with a thick quilt on his back. He was still dizzy. Su Qiaoer lay on the edge of the couch and cried. A military doctor on one side had been pulling Su Qiaoer for fear that she would touch Father Su's wound.

Fu Jiezi looked around and found that in addition to Father Su, there were more than 20 people here, several of whom were awake, and the others were also half dead. Fu Jiezi went over and took a look. There was also a poisonous monk Moke. At this time, he was still awake, but he was also seriously injured. Fu Jiezi went to say a few words to him. After saying that, he had told Geng Long about Pan Youyun. Fu Jiezi was secretly surprised when he heard this embarrassing thing. Fu Jiezi had always wanted to bury it in his heart and not talk to Geng Long, but the poisonous monk did not know the inside story and said everything, and the fire could not cover it, but why didn't Geng Long mention a word?

Fu Jiezi asked. Because he didn't understand the language, Moke was tired after saying a few words, and Fu Jiezi stopped asking. Su Qiaoer was still crying. Fu Jiezi slowly helped Su Qiaoer up and said, "Qiaoer, fortunately your father is still alive. The military medicine here is very good, and he can definitely save your father." Yin Yin also came over and said, "Qiaoer, as long as people are still alive, nothing is important. Well, this is my biggest experience after my rebirth. If your father's name is rich and noble, he will definitely be rich and noble.

Su Qiaoer nodded and said, "It's pitiful. I'm really afraid I won't see my father."

"Sum!" Suddenly there was a sound of something falling to the ground outside.

Fu Jiezi looked back and couldn't help saying, "Old Jia!" After saying that, I realized that it was impolite.

Su Qiaoer listened to Fu Jiezi's words and suddenly turned around. She rushed over like a swallow returning to the nest, hit the arms of the old man Jia and cried bitterly.

Old Jia looked very embarrassed, and his temples already had a little white hair. He was hit by Su Qiaoer. He was very happy for a moment and said repeatedly, "Oh, oh, this is a clever girl! Lao Su, Qiao girl is really alive!" Fu Jiezi also suddenly became excited and went over enthusiastically to have a conversation with old Jia.

After finally persuading Su Qiaoer, Fu Jiezi asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Old Jia said, "What else can I do? They are all heavenly thieves! This time, we walked slowly all the way to find Qiaoer's whereabouts. We thought about hiding or met the Xiongnu soldiers. Lao Su was a stubborn donkey. I asked him to go first and not leave. As a result, I almost took my life in. I rolled into the ravine before picking up my life. Qiao girl, only a few of our people died, and the goods were also robbed. Killed this day, more than a year of mud has been eaten for nothing!"
