Chapter 3036
"Changsun Silang, why did you come to Suiye City?"
Yuan Wei was a little surprised. Although he went out of the city to meet privately after seeing the token of the Changsun family, he did not expect that it was the grandson Yan, the eldest son of the Changsun family, who ran to Suiye City, thousands of miles away from Chang'an.
The yellow sand and Gobi, the scorching sun, and the hardships of traveling are not something these children of aristocratic families can bear.
Changsun Yan looked behind him and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Yuan Wei coming alone. He was most afraid that others would know about his seeing Yuan Wei...
Going up to Yuan Wei, he said in a low voice: "This time I came to the Western Regions, I was ordered by my father to do an errand. However, when the matter came to an end, I found that it was very difficult, and I could not do it alone. Therefore, I took the liberty to ask Brother Yuan for help."
Yuan Wei looked indifferent: "What's the matter, it's okay for Shiro to say it straight. Although I'm just a school lieutenant, I'm quite popular in Suiye City, and I have dozens of confidants under my command. No excuses."
The once-prominent Yuan family has been wiped out, and all the direct branches are dead, leaving only some distant branches with no connections and no background. If they want to survive, they must rely on the big tree of Guanlong.
Although the current power of the Changsun family is not as good as before, it is still the leader of Guanlong, and it is his wish to have the opportunity to contribute to the Changsun family.
Changsun Yan said with a relaxed tone, "It's just a few big cannibals, like ants and livestock. But if I do it in private, it will inevitably cause trouble, so I can only trouble you, brother, and kill them in the name of Suiye City Garrison !"
Yuan Wei didn't doubt Chang Sun Yan's words at all.
Although smuggling is strictly prohibited in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, especially salt and iron are absolutely prohibited from flowing to the Western Regions, but the more they are prohibited, the more lucrative they will be.Why do those prosperous families maintain the family heritage and expansion?This kind of smuggling happens almost every day, and no one can completely stop it.
Since it is such a shameful thing, it is inevitable that some dirty things will happen in private transactions. Yuan Wei, who has been stationed in Suiye City all year round, has long been accustomed to it and doesn't take it seriously.Therefore, he slapped his chest with a "bang bang" sound, and said proudly: "What's so difficult about this? How many thieves are there, but there are long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, do you want to keep them alive?"
Changsun Yan's face trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But there are more than twenty people, all of whom are cannibals, and there is a traitor in my family among them, otherwise it would not cause heavy losses to the caravan at home. Naturally, there are bows and crossbows. The strength is also quite good, so please brothers mobilize a lot of troops, make sure to give them a thunderous blow, and do not give them room to struggle, otherwise they will fight, I am afraid that there will be casualties. But brothers, don't worry, no matter how many casualties there are, the rewards, soup money , Settlement expenses, I will double all of them, and I will not make it difficult for my brothers!"
Hearing that the other party had a bow and crossbow, Yuan Wei also became cautious, nodded and said: "Siro is righteous! But please wait a moment, brother happens to be patrolling the city in the middle of the night tonight, so go back and gather the soldiers under your command, report to the general, and then pull Send out a team of 50 men, put on leather armor, and make sure you hit one hit and leave no one alive!"
"So best!"
Changsun Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Yuan Wei did not mention to others that the killing of the big cannibal was entrusted by him, then naturally he could shirk the responsibility without anyone noticing afterwards.
"Then let's make an agreement here, brothers go back to the city first!"
"A word is settled!"
The two separated, Yuan Wei went back to Suiye City to gather soldiers, and Changsun Yan returned to catch up with his men and continued to follow behind the big cannibal.
After walking for a while, the big cannibal stayed in a guest house not far from Suiye City. People from the caravan came out from time to time to buy food and replenish fresh water.
Chang Sunyan simply led people to sleep on the roadside and set up a tent.
In the evening, Chang Sunyan took a few confidants to wait outside Suiye City.Around Choushi, a team of people came from the east of the city to patrol the city, and when they got close, the team stood down slowly, and several people rode out from the team, and came to Changsun Yan, it was Yuan Wei.
Yuan Wei asked on horseback, "Where did the thief end up?"
Chang Sunyan told the location of the guest house, and asked, "Have you ever made preparations?"
Yuan Wei patted the armor on his body, pointed behind him, and said: "They are all veteran soldiers under the command of brothers, and they can bite Turkic people from time to time, let alone a group of treacherous businessmen who are not good at fighting. Cannibal? Don’t worry, Shiro, you’re guaranteed to hit one hit, and your existence will never be exposed, Shiro.”
Chang Sunyan became more relieved, and praised: "Brothers are doing things, so I can rest assured!"
Immediately turn the horse's head and lead the way first.
Changsun Yan turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him: "Someone reported that the big cannibal killed Han merchants and looted goods, and now he has found the trace of the thief. You will follow me to capture him and bring him to the An Sidu Protectorate." Severe punishment for interrogation. Anyone who resists will be shot to death!"
"Here!"
All the soldiers suddenly responded.
Although the entire Western Region is now under the control of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Region is vast and sparsely populated, and the Anxi Army is not enough in number to monitor every place. It seems that such cases of murder and robbery are not uncommon.However, the status of the Han people in the Western Regions is getting higher and higher, and such things as killing Han merchants and looting goods rarely happen, and everyone is very angry.
A mere cannibal, he has already been beaten away by our Anxi army once, and even their Damascus governor fled south in a panic with his tail between his legs, yet he still came to provoke him?
Just damn it!
This kind of foreign barbarians who plundered Han merchants, murdered and robbed goods, the Tang army would definitely punish them severely if they encountered them, and they would kill them for a little resistance, so Yuan Wei didn't have any worries in his heart.
There is no future trouble, and the eldest grandson Yan can lead himself to a favor, why not do it?
Dang even led his soldiers to follow behind Changsun Yan, and charged aggressively towards the guest house.
……
In the guest house, Azmi did not treat his hostage badly, sitting opposite Chang Sun Jun, eating barbecue and drinking fine wine, the atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious.
There are two tasks on his trip, one is to bring back 3000 taels of gold, and the other is to investigate the deployment of Tang's troops in various places in the Western Regions along the way.Because there is Changsun Jun, a son of the Changsun family, although he has never joined the Anxi Army, he has some knowledge of the Western Regions, so his task of investigating the Tang Army was completed very smoothly.
As long as the 3000 taels of gold are safely brought back to Damascus, they will definitely be promoted and rich, so how can accidents be allowed to happen?
After all, the Western Regions are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. If the eldest grandson's family is reluctant to part with the gold, then he is absolutely doomed...
"My son, don't blame me for being harsh. There is really nothing I can do. When I pass Suiye City tomorrow, I will definitely release you. If I have a chance to go to Damascus in the future, I will definitely entertain you well to make up for today's sins."
Azmi had no choice but to kidnap Changsun Jun, but he was unwilling to offend him. After all, his own caliphate would definitely cooperate with the Changsun family in the future. If he offended him severely, he would send a letter to Damascus, explaining how he abused him , with Muawiya's personality, he might be able to strip himself naked, tie him to a wooden stick and throw him in the desert, let the scorching sun dry him out...
Changsun Jun snorted, angry from the bottom of his heart, but at this moment, what can I do except endure?
He took a bite of the barbecue and took a sip of the wine, but his mood became more and more depressed.It has been half a year since I left Chang'an, and I have been wandering in the Western Regions all the time. This kind of barbarian food has long made me want to vomit. Naturally, I miss Chang'an's delicious food and wine...
After dinner, Azmi smiled at his grandson Jun, and said, "Just in case, I have to wrong you tonight, but it's the last night, so I'm sorry."
So he ordered someone to tie up Changsun Jun, and then gagged his mouth with a rag to prevent him from yelling and provoking the patrolling Tang army...
This way has been the way, Changsun Jun also resigned to his fate, only thinking about leaving Suiye City tomorrow, these big cannibals can keep their promises and let themselves go.
Azmi asked people to carry the boxes full of gold to the house, took out a bed of cups and spread them on the boxes, then blew out the candles and went to sleep with his clothes on.
Changsun Jun was lying on the hard plank bed, and it was difficult to fall asleep in the tied position, staring at the roof in the darkness.
Suddenly, a loud shout from outside made him excited: "We are the garrison of Suiye City. We have been patrolling here, and everyone else should cooperate, otherwise we will be dealt with by military law!"
The garrison of Broken Leaf City?
Changsun Jun tilted his head to look at Azmi, who had just been awakened from a deep sleep, and then looked at the window not far from him. If there was any movement, would the garrison find out and come to rescue him in time?
