Partridge City, this small city was first occupied by the Xianbei people.

Without the officials of the Tang Dynasty who robbed and plundered everything, this small town experienced the turmoil of war.

Under the support of the Xianbei people, it actually regained its former vitality.

Seeing this scene, I wonder how those who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty felt.

The current rottenness of Datang is rotten that penetrates the bone marrow, rotten from bottom to top.

It can never be changed by just one person.

If General Yue doesn't die, the most he can do is extend the life of this decadent dynasty...

When the wind blows, it stirs up yellow sand all over the sky, and yellow fog rises in the desert.

On the ancient yellow sand road, two people and one horse came towards Partridge City.

"Datang! Datang..."

Zhu Minghe muttered.

"It's not the Tang Dynasty, it's been occupied by the Xianbei people." Li Changshou reminded, "Don't say the wrong thing when you get there."

Zhu Minghe lay on the ground and kissed the earth.

"Ten years...Ten years, I'm finally back!!"

The city gate is guarded by Xianbei soldiers.

Li Changshou took out the forged road guide from his arms, two copies in total.

This was prepared to send Yunran out of customs.

Without roads, it would be difficult to enter or leave the city.

The two of them rode towards the city.

The Xianbei soldier looked at the document and then looked up at the viewer.

Li Changshou held his hand very wisely, and the Xianbei soldier had a broken piece of silver in his hand.

The Xianbei soldier smiled.

Then several Xianbei soldiers came and shouted at the two of them.

Li Changshou and Zhu Minghe both knew Xianbei dialect, and when they heard this, their hearts trembled.

These Xianbei people are catching coolies.

Zhu Minghe glanced at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou glanced secretly and saw a row of Xianbei soldiers holding crossbows on the city wall.

More Xianbei cavalry came in and out.

Uma beside him was panting heavily, looking like he couldn't hold on even if he ran for a while.

Zhu Minghe is also semi-disabled...

Li Changshou decided to take action.

Fortunately, I only caught coolie, not discovered Zhu Minghe’s identity.

Then he followed the Xianbei soldiers to a camp fifty miles north of the city, where the Xianbei people seemed to be preparing to build siege equipment.

Anyone who enters the city, regardless of whether they have an ultimatum or not, and regardless of their status.

They are all brought here to be coolies.

On the one hand, it is to prevent information leakage.

On the other hand, speed up the work.

However, the Xianbei people are also afraid of driving these coolies to a dead end.

Something goes wrong and it affects big things.

So he treated these coolies pretty well and promised to let them go as soon as they were done.

As for the money and belongings they brought with them, none of them were touched.

It is to let them see hope and work hard with all their heart.

Li Changshou and Zhu Minghe took off their clothes, shirtless, and worked with other coolies.

On the first day, they mainly helped move things around.

It takes several people to carry rocks weighing more than a hundred kilograms and wood as thick as a well...

The Xianbei cavalry rode around and patrolled around. The whips in their hands seemed to dissipate air-conditioning on the hot day.

The Xianbei people's words were polite, but the whip in their hands was not vague at all.

Zhu Minghe had just returned from a trip to hell, and half of his life was gone.

Now that I have to be coolie again, I probably have to spend the rest of my life here.

Li Changshou focused on his shoulders to make Zhu Minghe feel better.

At night, I drank thick porridge and ate nothing.

Everyone was even given a piece of cooked camel meat.

It can be seen that the Xianbei people attach great importance to this action.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t feed these coolies to the captured coolies.

"The general said, you guys have to work hard and you'll have wine and meat to eat!

The sooner you finish, the sooner you can go home! "

The person who divided the meat was a Tang man who worked for the Xianbei people. He held a camel leg in one hand and a carving knife in the other.

While dividing the meat, he shouted loudly.

The fire crackled.

The coolies ate and worked until late at night, then the camp was closed and they were allowed to sleep.

Zhu Minghe was lying in the smelly tent, with no strength left in his body.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In his daze, he was woken up by someone.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Li Changshou.

"I found a way out, can I still go?"

"....able!"

Zhu Minghe forced himself to stand up, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

It was dark inside the camp, with only the dim moonlight in the distance making it difficult to see the road underfoot.

Li Changshou took Zhu Minghe to the place where he pooped.

After the army sets up camp, defecation and peeing are strictly controlled.

Those who poop or urinate indiscriminately will be punished, and if they break out of the village, the manure pits will be filled up.

With so many people pooping and urinating at will, it is easy for infectious diseases to arise.

Zhu Minghe followed Li Changshou around the manure pit and ran towards the hillside in the distance.

On the other side of the hillside, a team of supervisors patrolled day and night. If they saw anyone escaping, they would beat them to death without saying a word and take their heads back to the camp.

Li Changshou whistled, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.

Zhu Minghe looked at Wu Ma running in the distance in surprise, and then looked at Li Changshou.

I really don’t know whether I should say that Li Changshou has supernatural power, or that he is a talented person and is bold.

Even so, he didn't give up on his own horse.

"The patrols change shifts every two hours. Let's hurry up." Li Changshou said.

Zhu Minghe was stunned and didn't understand what Li Changshou meant.

However, he soon understood.

On the mountain road, there were chopped off horse heads and the bodies of patrol soldiers buried in weeds.

The blood was stained red, and it was obvious that he had been killed not long ago.

There were seven or eight corpses along the way.

It was estimated that Li Changshou had seized the opportunity to deal with them one by one while he was sleeping.

This was their first day after being captured, let alone escaping.

Zhu Minghe didn't even know where he was, so he just remembered the bloody whip of the Xianbei supervisor.

Thinking of this, Zhu Minghe glanced at Li Changshou's back again and secretly smacked his tongue.

High efficiency and skillful handling.

Ability to quickly clarify ideas and find solutions in emergencies...

This is not an ability that can be obtained by relying on Qingxiu and studying in Taoist temples or academies all day long.

But it was forced out of desperation again and again.

"How do we get into the city?" Zhu Minghe asked again.

"There is a hole in the wall in the southeast of Partridge City next to a patch of Pinus sylvestris. Let's get in through there."

"Have you been to Partridge City?"

"Never been."

"Then how do you know?"

"A snitch told me that during the day. He was also caught as a coolie."

Zhu Minghe did not ask how Li Changshou found out the news from the snitch.

But it is certain that the snitch did not tell him for free.

Partridge City under the night, crawling there like a giant beast.

I found the Pinus sylvestris in the southeast and determined the approximate location.

After a while, Li Changshou covered the hole in the wall with sand.

The hole is so small that it would be very difficult for ordinary people to get in. Anyone who is a little bit fat will definitely not be able to get in.

Li Changshou looked back at the horse.
