"No!" Yu Shinan, the oldest in the car, shook his head vigorously, but instead defended Gu Zheng: "This boy will never be a Hu person."

"In my few chats, I found that although this boy was a farmer hunter, he learned a very orthodox and slightly innovative gentlemanly etiquette."

"The literati's qualities shown in him are no less than his military power."

"A person like this must be a person who admires Han culture. How could he be the Turkic outside the vassal?"

"It's impossible. That barbaric place is the residence of people who have not yet been cited by Mao Ru's blood. There will definitely be talents like Gu Zheng."

Oh, this little old man has a high opinion of Gu Zheng.

Cheng Yaojin, who was standing beside him, opened his squinting eyes wide in shock.

And just as they were arguing, Gu Zheng in front suddenly spoke, "Here."

When a few people behind the carriage heard this, they quickly twisted their necks and looked forward.

When we saw the tall blue city walls, which were endless and above the mountains, even the prisoners in the car muttered to themselves the name of this place: "Yanmen Pass!"

Yanmen Pass, also known as Baicaokou.

It is one of the eighteen passes in Yanmen, connecting the ancient Yanmen Pass Road and connecting the north-south trade routes. It is a very important road for merchants and people to walk with them inside and outside the pass.

This pass, one pass and two military fortresses, are stationed on both sides of the north and south, and are blocked by huge mountains, forming a very important strategic location for garrisoning troops and fighting against the Eastern Turks outside the pass.

Now, the generals stationed in Changsheng Fort several miles outside Yanmen Pass came here to assist Li Yuan and suppress and appease Li Shimin in Xishan.

This is also the destination of Gu Zheng's trip, and in a short period of time, this place will become the destination of his manpower and materials.

Anyone who can meet, what he wants, and who can get hands will be stuffed here one after another.

Well, this is the 'excellent' idea that came to his mind.

It's getting more and more inappropriate.

But Gu Zheng was very happy.

Isn’t this what Li Yuan wants to do now?

Don’t be a female stinger and whimper behind the plaque. Let’s be more focused.

Therefore, outside Changsheng Fort, a phenomenon that has not been seen in a century has occurred.

Today, Li Shimin, as usual, took his personal guard brigade and stationed sentries and Yingkou locations outside Yanmen Pass. When he was patrolling routinely, he encountered an inexplicable attack from an unknown person.

Why is it not an enemy?

It should be because he has never seen someone else's shadow.

Just an arrow, a cold arrow that could not find the launcher's location, flew straight towards him.

It was directly inserted into the feather feather swinging in the wind on his helmet. The arrow pointed directly at the connection point of the feather and stuck on it, as if there was an extra tail feather, with a tight stitch.

This shows that the person who fires this arrow is very good.

If it were Li Shimin's real enemy, if the archer wanted his life sincerely, he would not sit safely on the horse's back, and looked at the tail of the arrow branch, and attached a letter to him.

The words on this letter are written very well, upright, and elegant.

He looks like a cultural person.

But the content of this letter is also inexplicable.

Because this is a map.

Inside and outside Yanmen Pass, a very detailed terrain map of ten miles in a radius.

Among them, the mountain springs and the checkpoints and roads were exhaustive and made Li Shimin wonder who was the guardian of Yanmen Pass.

On this map, a small red dot is marked on the hillside about one kilometer west of Li Shimin's daily patrol.

And an arrow came out above the little red dot, and only one sentence was written on it.

Gift.

I'm very curious, is there any?

Claw your heart and lungs, and suspicion.

I was afraid it was a trap, but I couldn't help but turn my steps towards the direction marked on Gu Zheng's map.

This made Li Shimin, who had always been decisive, hesitated.

He picked up the map and put it down, put it down and picked it up again.

While hesitating, his hands were not idle and sent three waves of scouts to the direction pointed on the map. This was the plan to make a decision.

At this time, what is Gu Zheng doing at the gift location designated by Gu Zheng?

He was directing Gu Yi to San to ramm a huge wooden stake on the relatively flat dirt road halfway down the hillside.

The first time together with Yu Shinan, the three of them tied them to the wooden stick in a circle.

Of course, the general was tied tightly, Yu Shinan just used a ribbon to attach one of his hands to the edge of the pillar, just to make the meaning.

As for Qin Qiong's ten personal guards, they were trapped by Gu Zheng without hesitation, and they were still in the place where the big cart was hidden in the dense forest early on, and Gu Si and Gu Wu took care of them.

After finishing all this, Gu Zheng patted the floating soil on his hand with satisfaction.

When he was planning to take the brothers of the Gu family to go there, he seemed to have thought of something and took another hemp rope and tied a rough bow in front of Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao.

Leave a word they hadn't understood.

"That's right, it looks like a gift."

After saying that, he left without hesitation, and walked away with his back to them. When he left, he faced the sunshine and waved his hand casually, causing the three people staring at Gu Zheng's back to burst into tears.

Sending hostages for thousands of miles is to tie them to the pole to bask in the sun?

They don't believe it.

So, these three gifts were waiting patiently.

Gu Zheng, who returned to their carriage, looked down at the pillar from above the cliff, waiting for the result, and did not forget to promise to the Qin Qiong guards who were trapped in a string of grasshoppers beside him: "Don't worry."

"I'm not relieved to let you go now. If you Savior is eager to release the three of them in advance, then I'll be in vain."

"Don't panic, after the real people come and let go of your general, I will release you all immediately."

"Can you just go to General Qin?"

Through the influence of personal charm along the way, these ten people were like quails.

Instead, he looked at the scene under the cliff honestly and was very curious about Gu Zheng's purpose of doing this.

After a full half an hour of waiting, after seeing the figures of three groups of people who came to investigate secretly, the real owner who Gu Zheng wanted to wait for came late.

After seeing such a unique shape of wooden stakes and such rich content, Li Shimin only felt a toothache.

He turned over and dismounted, and ran towards Yu Shinan in panic.

"Mr. Yu, why are you here? Hurry up, let me loosen your ties for you, my disciple."

When Li Shimin was young, he met Yu Shinan in Chang'an.

Yu Shinan has a noble status and aristocratic etiquette has a long history.

Li Yuan's two swords naturally sent the children at home to Yu Shinan to learn etiquette and correct their manners.

Among these three, Li Shimin naturally recognized Yu Shinan at first sight.

As for the other two, Li Shimin asked without hesitation, and Cheng Yaojin under the wooden pole howled out.

"Hurry, hurry up, this hero, but let someone untire my rope?"

"When I'm free, can I tell you carefully?"

Seeing Cheng Yaojin jumping on the pillar, Li Shimin only felt inexplicably funny. He and a guard next to him winked and put Cheng Yaojin down from under the wooden stick.

By the way, he also loosened his ties for Qin Qiong.

But who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin, who had gained freedom, stood comfortably in an open space with no one. After stretching his muscles and bones in a fake way, he turned his head and ran away.

What a joke, these people are dressed as an official army at first glance. What if they turn around and send him to the court?

But Cheng Yaojin's actions must be futile. Li Shimin looked at him and the fastest-running team among the most elite scouts behind him rushed over.

As Cheng Yaojin's short legs were helplessly whipped, he was pressed on the lawn on the spot.
