This person said he didn¡¯t see the team. Chen Lu had no choice but to leave, and the soldier added: "But we saw a place where we had camped in front of us, just for the past two days."
Chen Lu thanked him and walked to the official road. He wanted to ask about today's date, but when they said it was Hijri calendar, Chen Lu was unwilling to convert. Since there were traces of the old camp ahead, let's go.
At this time, he saw a carriage on the roadside, and someone was eating beside the carriage. Chen Lu saw that they were dressed like Mongolians, so he stepped forward to salute and asked in Mongolian: "Have you seen the team heading west when you came here?"
The two men saw that Chen Lu was dressed as an official and said politely: "Yes, it is the clothes of the Celestial Dynasty. He has probably traveled more than three hundred miles."
Chen Lu was full of doubts and said, "Did you see it wrong?"
The man said firmly: "No, there are not many Chinese troops here, the local people are watching on the roadside."
Chen Lu said: "I would like to ask my guest, what day is it today? I'm talking about the Tatung calendar."
"Today is the 24th, don't rush on your way, the moon will not appear until the third watch, so we will wait here."
Chen Lu was startled, saying that he had been away from the mission for six days. If nothing else happened, he should have gone a long way. He thanked them both, jumped on his horse, and galloped forward. After walking for a while, he felt his eyes were so tight that he couldn't open them. He hadn't closed his eyes for several days. No, this will be troublesome.
He slowed down and looked towards both sides of the official road as he walked. He didn¡¯t know how long he walked until he finally saw a town. Chen Lu's eyes can see at night and have a panoramic view of the town. To his delight there really was an inn.
Chen Luxin walked over without reining in his horse. This is a nice inn with two floors. It shows that this place is still prosperous, at least the passenger flow is not small. As soon as he walked in, a waiter came out and greeted him in Chinese.
Chen said: "Find a quiet room for me, old man, and serve me two dishes. I need fine grass for my mount. I will give you a few more cents to buy tea tomorrow."
The guy agreed and led him into a room. After a while some wine and food were served. Chen Lu asked him to take down the wine and ate up the food like a storm.
The waiter cleaned up and brought water for washing. Just as Chen Lu was about to wash his face, he heard someone whispering outside: "We have been waiting here for three days and we haven't gotten here yet." The words were spoken in the dialect of the Western Regions.
Another person said: "General Huyan said that the mission had already set off at the Dayuan River six days ago, but there was no movement at all."
At first, Chen Lu didn¡¯t take it seriously at all. Hearing this, he was a little interested. It seemed to have something to do with him, Chen Lu. He wanted to hear it again, but they had already passed.
Chen Lu sighed, people all know that walls have ears, but when it comes to themselves, they forget these four words.
What are they going to do? Chen Lu thought for a moment and smiled. They can do whatever they want. The mission has now passed, what else can they do? Let¡¯s talk tomorrow.
He washed himself, lay on the bed and fell asleep for a while. The sky was dark and the sun was dim. When he opened his eyes in the morning, it was already bright. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. Even if someone took him away, they might not know.
He thought about the two people who came at night, but in the end he didn't take them seriously. He asked the waiter to come over and calculate the room and meal costs, rewarded the waiter, and prepared to go out. The voices of two people attracted him.
They are two people who came at night. One was a young man with a big nose without a beard, and the other was about forty years old, with a standard Western-region beard.
The two people walked outside while talking. Chen Lu followed quietly. They had already seen Chen Lu, but they didn't recognize the color of his clothes. They thought he was a Han, so they didn't take him seriously. But the voice was noticeably lower. The two men went to the back, took out the horses, and left.
Chen Lu followed behind, pretending not to understand. But I was afraid of attracting their attention, so sometimes I walked in front of them. When they reached the outside of the town, the two men mounted their horses and walked away separately, the young man with his big nose facing east and the bearded man facing west.
Chen Lu also got on his horse and followed the man walking west. When we got to the official road, there were still many pedestrians here, so Chen Lu passed by on horseback. When you get to a sparsely populated place, sit back and wait. A quarter of an hour later, Bearded Rider arrived on horseback.
Chen Lu also rode up to meet him, which attracted the attention of the bearded man. He had the impression that he had seen Chen Lu in the inn. It was no accident that he met him here, especially because he never understood Chen Lu's clothes. He stopped and looked at Chen Lu warily.
Chen Lu judged that this was a thief, and he was bribed by Hu Yantong.
ChenHe leaned his horse's head and said, "What's going on? Did you recognize me, old man?" He was speaking in the dialect of the Western Regions.
The bearded man was taken aback, but he immediately calmed down, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know you. Please get out of the way. Let's go our separate ways without disturbing each other."
Chen Lu said: "Brother, you are wrong. Why don't we all interfere with each other? You don't have much knowledge at first glance. Take a look at your clothes. Am I what you are looking for?"
The bearded man looked at Chen Lu suspiciously and said, "I saw you staying here. What happened? Are you alone?"
Chen Lu said: "Get off your horse and let's talk."
The bearded man pulled out his sword and said, "I tell you, I don't care what dynasty you belong to. We are now looking for traces of the mission."
Chen Lu said: "Look, let me tell you, it is because of this that I want to talk to you, because this is the basis of our cooperation. Tell me where you are from."
"Get out of the way, don't seek death. I think you are a civil servant, and I don't have the same experience as you. You are still having fun, so get out of here."
A few crisp sounds. One side of his bearded face suddenly swelled up. He covered his face and looked at Chen Lu blankly.
Chen Lu said: "When you go out, you don't clean your teeth, you curse, and you talk nonsense. This is the result. Get off your horse and follow me."
The bearded man did not dare to disobey and drove Chen Lu to a secluded place. Chen Lu said: "Answer what I say. Don't look for someone with nothing to do."
"We come from the west."
Chen Lu went and whipped him and said, "Where's the meat? I don't have the patience to ask you."
The bearded man knew what he was going to ask and did not dare to be careless anymore. He said: "We are from Pingxigang. Six of us came together to find out the whereabouts of the Chinese envoy along the way."
Chen Lu was surprised and asked: "Are you bandits? How many people are there?"
"That's what you call bandits. In fact, we have been growing and eating for ourselves. Not counting family members, there are more than 400 horses and horses."
"Is there a man named Hu Yantong?"
The bearded man was startled and said: "Yes, but he is not fixed in our place. We all know that he is an official of our court. It is said that he is Ji Shan, and others have heard about the affairs of the Yashi garrison. The younger one is I don¡¯t understand either.¡±
