"Very good. The Imperial Court will definitely reward you for your great service.”Wang Zhongsi said simply and directly. All soldiers were like this, speaking without much embellishment.
Tuoba Feng knew Wang Zhongsi's personality. He would say whatever came to his mind, and the words 'great merit' were already a great compliment to Guo Ziyi.
"The Turkic soldiers have all retreated?”Wang Zhongsi looked at Taba Feng.
"According to our scouts, Shuoye Khagan has led the rest of the Turkic army back to the royal court west of the golden mountain.”Taba Feng replied.
"The Imperial Court and I were careless in this Turkic invasion. Yanzhou City was also a stronghold in the Western Regions, so its military strength should not be so weak. I will leave 20,000 soldiers and some military supplies for you. You have also made a great contribution this time. I will personally write a letter to the court.”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Taba Feng kowtowed.
The two of them left the main hall. Although he had only met Wang Zhongsi for a brief moment and hadn't spoken much, Guo Ziyi was still extremely excited. He had finally experienced what it meant to be a famous general.
A true famous general's every word, every gaze, and every action carried an imposing manner that could shake one's soul. Even if one wanted to hide it, they would not be able to do so, and even if others wanted to imitate it, they would not be able to.
Tuoba Feng pulled Guo Ziyi to a tavern in Yanzhou, and the two of them drank to their hearts 'content.
Taking advantage of the alcohol, Taba Feng grabbed Guo Ziyi's arm and said emotionally,"I have the intention to become sworn brothers with you, what do you think?”
Guo Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and he admired Taba Feng a little. On second thought, he had just transmigrated here. It shouldn't be a bad thing to have a sworn brother from the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, this brother had an official position, so he could take care of him if anything happened.
A few days ago, he was still a prisoner on death row. Now that Taba Feng had taken the initiative to pull him to become sworn brothers, he thought highly of him. Guo Ziyi was a little touched.”
There was a Shing Wong restaurant not far from the tavern. Taba Feng brought a jar of wine over. The two drank the blood wine in front of the Shing Wong and kowtowed to swear to become brothers of different surnames.
"Brother, what plans do you have next?" Taba Feng asked after they became sworn brothers.
Guo Ziyi thought for a moment and replied,"Big Brother, this brother has always been a merchant in the border towns of the Western Regions and has never ventured deep into the heart of the Great Tang. Next, I want to go to Chang 'an and see what the capital of the Tang Empire looks like!”
Guo Ziyi was speaking from the bottom of her heart. After transmigrating to the Tang Dynasty, who wouldn't want to go to Chang 'an to take a look?
Taba Feng raised his head and heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Chang 'an. You should go and take a look!"
One morning two days later, Taba Feng called Guo Ziyi over and handed him a backpack made of cowhide.
Guo Ziyi took it, feeling heavy.
"If you want to go to Chang 'an, Big Brother has prepared some money for you. The bag also contains a customs clearance document personally signed by Lord Wang Zhongsi. With it, you can travel freely and rest at any station.”Taba Feng said.
Guo Ziyi was touched.”
"Take this too!" Taba Feng took out a letter from his clothes and handed it to Guo Ziyi.
"I wrote a letter for you. There's an address on it. When you arrive in Chang 'an, send the letter to this address and someone will take care of you. It will take some time for the imperial court's reward to come down. When the imperial court's decree comes down, I'll send someone to find you.”Taba Feng instructed.
Guo Ziyi held the letter in her hand and felt even more touched. Tuoba Feng had arranged everything for her.
"Tomorrow, I will be going to the Spiritual State with Lord Wang Zhongsi. It will be some time before I return, so you can set off for Chang 'an at any time.”Taba Feng continued.
"Thank you, big brother, for making such detailed arrangements for me. I will remember it in my heart!”
"Why do you have to say such things to your own brother? We must be careful on the way. We can stay longer in Chang 'an and have some fun. Maybe we can meet in Chang' an.”
"Big Brother is also going to Chang 'an?"
Taba Feng smiled mysteriously." It's hard to say. Brother, just stay in Chang 'an. I'll definitely look for you when I go!"”
Guo Ziyi thought for a moment. Taba Feng's surname was Tang. If he could arrange for someone to take care of him in Chang 'an, he probably had some background in the capital. He might even be a relative of the emperor. He could return to Chang' an after training at the border. He would have the capital to be promoted in the future.
Guo Ziyi asked Taba Feng for a few more sets of clothes and a saber for self-defense. He rode on the Turkic horse that he had captured and left Yanzhou in the afternoon.
As the sun set, Guo Ziyi walked out of the city gates of Yanzhou. She turned around and looked at the tall walls of Yanzhou. This is my first stop in the Great Tang.
Guo Ziyi smiled and turned around to continue walking. She started humming the song " Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty " by the Tang Dynasty band.
Chrysanthemum, ancient sword and wine
Soaked in coffee into the noisy pavilion
The alien race worships the ancient moon at the altar of the sun
Kaiyuan grand event is fascinating
The wind can't blow away my regret
The flowers cannot penetrate the homesickness
As Guo Ziyi walked along, he saw the scenery of the Western Regions of the Great Tang. After walking for seven or eight days, they were about to enter the territory of Liangzhou.
In the evening, there was no relay station ahead, so Guo Ziyi found a forest with a stream to rest. It was getting dark. Guo Ziyi made a bonfire beside the stream and used a tree branch to make a fish fork. She caught a few fish in the stream and roasted them.
These methods of survival in the wild were a piece of cake for a professional soldier like him.
While eating fish, Guo Ziyi suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the forest. Guo Ziyi had a keen sense of hearing. In addition to the sound of footsteps, he also heard the sound of weapons colliding. He immediately became alert.
Not long after, a figure appeared in front of Guo Ziyi. He saw the fire and ran over.
Guo Ziyi immediately grabbed the horizontal knife that she carried with her and put on a defensive posture. The man ran to a place not far from the bonfire and fell to the ground. Guo Ziyi saw that there were arrows in his shoulder and leg. It seemed that he was injured. This person was wearing a bamboo hat and a veil hanging down, making it impossible to see his appearance.
In the blink of an eye, four masked men in black appeared in the forest. Each of them held a sword in their hands and a crossbow at their waists. They ran towards the man who had fallen.
The man who fell crawled toward Guo Ziyi, as if he was asking for help. Guo Ziyi walked over with a knife and stood beside the man.
When the masked men saw that there were still people in the forest, they stopped and looked forward with their knives.
Guo Ziyi saw it clearly. The man who fell to the ground was being chased by these four masked men in black. The crossbow arrows on his body were also shot by them.
"We were bumped into by this person. I think we should…" One of the masked men in black looked at the other man and said.
That person nodded, his eyes revealing a fierce light."We can't leave either of them alive. Kill them all!”
Hearing this, Guo Ziyi was stunned.
