Yang Fan knew that this' Little Flying General 'Zhang Yi must be an important subordinate of Shen Mu. From Shen Mu's tone, it is very likely that he will need his help with what he is about to do. With a face full of smiles, Yang Fan hurriedly greeted him. He had just cupped his fists when Zhang Yi shouted and pushed Shen Mu away with all his might. He pulled out his sabre and slashed it towards Yang Fan's face!
His sabre moved like a wheel, swift and fierce like lightning.
Yang Fan was greatly startled, but fortunately he had a good martial art skill. Immediately he bent his waist and without bending his legs, relying only on the strength of his feet he leaped diagonally to evade the attack.
"Shua!"
The bright sabre flashed and a piece of Yang Fan's clothes was blown away by the mountain breeze.
If Yang Fan had been a split second slower, this saber would have cut him in half. Even if he had been a split second slower, at least one of his legs would have been left behind.
Yang Fan saw that this person suddenly attacked with such a vicious method and was slightly annoyed. He turned around and circled in the air before landing on the ground with a 'shua' sound. He crouched down like an eagle crouching on a cliff and was about to attack.
At this time, two of Shen Mu's bodyguards had already blocked his way and shouted at Zhang Yi: "Zhang Yi, have you gone mad!"
Zhang Yi shouted: "You two fools, you actually let Ashina Mu Si sneak up to Sect Leader's side and almost killed him! Get out of my way! "
Shen Mu has always been a steady and intelligent person but after being pushed by Zhang Yi, he fell into a sorry state. Shen Mu does not know martial arts at all and after being pushed by Zhang Yi, he fell flat on his back. When he hit the ground, his back was hit by a mountain rock and it was so painful that he felt like his back was about to break.
Two of his men hurried forward to help him up. Shen Mu cried out in pain as he crawled up from the ground and angrily said: "Zhang Yi, you bastard, what are you doing?"
Qi Qi and Duo Duo had already boarded the carriage. Seeing this scene, she also jumped down and rushed forward to support Shen Mu. She glared angrily at Zhang Yi. Looking at Shen Mu's eager expression, if not for the fact that Shen Mu was questioning Zhang Yi, she would have rushed forward to teach this brat a lesson.
Zhang Yi stamped his foot and said: "Sect Master, you have always been smart, but this time you are muddle-headed. How did you allow a Turk to come to your side? How lucky! How lucky! This person must have some other evil intentions, which was why he didn't make a move on the Sect Master. Otherwise, it would really be over. We can't let him escape this time. Quickly surround him! "
Shen Mu supported his old waist and limped to his side. Exasperated, he said: "Turks? Who are the Turks? "
Zhang Yi pointed at Yang Fan and said, "It's him!"
Only then did Yang Fan realise that Zhang Yi had mistaken him for someone else. Afraid of causing misunderstandings, he did not dare to make a move. He stood still and looked at him coldly.
Shen Mu snapped, "Him? His name was Yang Fan from Luoyang! When did he become a Turk? "
Zhang Yi was stunned and muttered, "How can it be? Ah! That's right, Sect Master, it must be his sophistry that deceived you. "
Shen Mu rolled his eyes and asked, "Why are you so sure that he is a Turk?"
Zhang Yi said, "Because I have seen him before!"
Shen Mu asked, "When did you see him?"
Zhang Yi said, "A month ago, I received the Sect Master's order to rush to Guanzhong to provide support. I wanted to do one more job before I leave. If I manage to rob a fat sheep, I can get some good stuff for the Sect Master as a greeting gift. In the end, as luck would have it, we robbed his carriage, and many of my brothers were killed or injured! "
Zhang Yi pointed at Yang Fan and gritted his teeth, "That's right! It's him! I remember it clearly. He is Ashina Musi! "
Shen Mu held his waist and sighed to the sky. He said weakly, "Zhang Yi ah! A month ago, he and I … that is, this Ashina Musi you speak of, were at a family's wedding banquet in Luoyang. Could it be that this person you speak of has the ability to fly in the sky and travel through the earth? He can appear in both the Turkic steppe and Luoyang at the same time? "
"Eh?"
Zhang Yi's eyes widened and he stammered, "How can it be! How can it be! His appearance, his appearance … "
Shen Mu looked at Yang Fan and asked, "Does this person really look like that Ashina Musi you speak of?"
Zhang Yi said confidently, "Not just look, but look exactly the same! Sect Master, you should know that I have the best memory. Even if I met someone once or twice ten years ago, I would still be able to recognize him. I would never mistake him. Other than his clothes, he … is exactly the same as that Ashina Musi. "
Yang Fan could not help but ask, "This brother, I do know a friend in Luoyang called Ashina Husero. Who is this Ashina Musi you speak of? "
Zhang Yi exclaimed, "Ah! The voice doesn't sound like it! That's not right, the voice can be faked. "
Shen Mu helplessly said, "I just said that this person can't be the person you met in the Turkic steppe, because when you met this Ashina Musi, I was drinking with him in Luoyang. The world is vast, and there are many people with similar appearances. Even if they look exactly the same, there are few differences in height and weight, but that doesn't mean that there are none. If you're not mistaken, then he's exactly the same as the person you met. "
"There's such a thing?"
Zhang Yi still did not believe it. After Shen Mu explained it again and again, Zhang Yi had no choice but to believe it. Shen Mu said that when he met Ashina Musi, he was drinking with Yang Fan in Luoyang. The sect master would not lie to him. This meant that Luoyang and the Turkic steppe were separated by several thousand li, so it was impossible for these two people to be the same person.
Zhang Yi scratched his head and hesitantly said, "It seems that I really did get the wrong person."
Yang Fan unhappily said, "Brother mistook me for someone else and almost killed me!"
Shen Mu smiled apologetically, "Erlang, please don't blame me. This brother of mine is good except that he is a little rash. Because of this, I cannot keep him by my side and sent him to Longyou. Who knew that after not seeing him for a few years, he is still as hot-tempered as ever. Luckily, he did not really hurt you. I apologize on his behalf. Erlang, please don't take this matter to heart."
Shen Mu bowed to Yang Fan and glared at Zhang Yi, saying, "What are you waiting for? Apologize to Erlang!"
Zhang Yi hesitantly bowed to Yang Fan and said no.
Yang Fan bitterly smiled, "Forget it! Luckily I did not die. If I was really cut into two by your sabre, even if I have a stomach full of grievances, there is no one I can reason with. "
Shen Mu pulled Yang Fan and Zhang Yi up the carriage. After they were seated, Shen Mu re-introduced them to each other and asked Zhang Yi, "Zhang Yi, who is that Ashina Musi you mentioned just now?"
Zhang Yi, "Ashina Musi is Ashina Huan's son."
He slapped his thigh in annoyance and said, "That day, he went to give betrothal gifts to another tribe leader. The carriage was loaded with a lot of valuables and there was a large group of men and women in the procession. It looked like there was a lot of money to be had. Actually, I would not be so careless when robbing a fat sheep. I would definitely find out the other party's identity first. That day, I received the news and was in a hurry to go to Guanzhong to fetch you. I was careless. Hai! I lost more than ten of my brothers! "
Shen Mu did not care about the details of his robbery and only asked, "Ashina Huan? You mean Moche? "
Zhang Yi, "That's right! His granny, if not for Moche's son, I would not have suffered such a loss! "
Yang Fan could not help asking, "Who is this Moche?"
Shen Mu explained, "Moche is the younger brother of the Eastern Turkic Khagan Gu Dulu. Gu Dulu fell seriously ill at the beginning of the year and the Eastern Turks are currently under Moche's control. The Eastern Turks and Western Turks were originally one family and their Khagan belonged to the Ashina clan. Ashina is the surname of the Turkic Khagan, meaning pale wolf's eyes. "
Yang Fan nodded in understanding.
Zhang Yi continued, "Erlang, I am truly sorry. You look exactly like that Ashina Musi. At the time, I did not expect that two people could look so alike, so …"
Shen Mu glared at him. "So you stabbed him in the head? Even if Erlang really is Ashina Musi in disguise, is there a need to do this? You just need to state his identity and he will not be able to escape. Humph! You have been in Longyou for so many years and you have not improved at all. When will you grow a brain? "
Zhang Yi was scolded to the point that he could not raise his head and did not dare to retort.
After Shen Mu finished, he thought for a moment and suddenly laughed, "Ha ha, speaking of which, this matter is really interesting. Erlang, the two generals who went to Longyou to inspect the military situation this time are Qiu Shenji and Wang Xiaojie. Do you know what happened to Wang Xiaojie? "
Yang Fan did not know why he suddenly brought up Wang Xiaojie and could not help but ask, "You are talking about General Wang of the Right Eagle Guard? What happened to him? "
Shen Mu said, "In the third year and ninth month of Yifeng, Emperor Gaozong ordered Li Jingxuan, who was also the Governor of Shanzhou, to lead the army to attack Tufan. At that time, Wang Xiaojie was the deputy chief of the army led by Minister of Works Liu Shenli. When the army reached Da Fei Chuan, they met a famous Tufan general, Lun Qinling.
Both sides had a huge battle. This Lun Qinling is known as the Tufan God of War and has been fighting with our Tang dynasty for decades. Whether it is Xue Rengui, Guo Daifeng, Li Jingxuan, Wei Daijie or Lou Shide, all of them were defeated by him. In all these years, among our Tang dynasty generals, only Hei Chi Changzhi has defeated Lun Qinling.
Naturally, we lost the battle at Da Fei Chuan. Liu Shenli's army was completely annihilated. Li Jingxuan did not dare to save him. Liu Shenli was injured and died not long after. Originally, Wang Xiaojie would not be able to escape death but … Tufan's Tsang Puchi Dusongzan saw him by chance and treated him with great respect. In the end, he was sent back to the Tang dynasty. "
"Why is that?" Yang Fan asked in astonishment.
Shen Mu smiled and said, "Because Wang Xiaojie's appearance is very similar to Tsang Puchi Dusongzan's late father. Tsang Puchi Dusongzan believes in reincarnation. When he saw Wang Xiaojie, he could not help but think of his late father. How could he dare to be disrespectful to Wang Xiaojie? This Tsang Puchi first treated Wang Xiaojie as an honored guest. Later on, he saw that Wang Xiaojie could not forget the Tang dynasty and was very unhappy living in Tufan. So he simply sent someone to send him back. "
Shen Mu laughed aloud and said, "Erlang, Wang Xiaojie only looks like Tsang Puchi's father. But you, you are exactly the same as that Ashina Musi. Too bad your luck is not as good as Great General Wang. Because of this, Great General Wang escaped with his life. Because of this, you almost lost your life. Ha ha … "
Yang Fan snorted. Thinking about the same reason but different treatment, he could not help but laugh. "In that case, I should not blame Zhang Xiong, but that Ashina Musi."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yi asked.
Yang Fan said, "Because Great General Wang looks like Tsang Puchi's father, he was treated as an honored guest and was respectfully sent back to his country. As for me, I look exactly the same as that Ashina Musi, but I was almost implicated by him. This is clearly because his relationship with others is not good. If one day I see this Musi, I will definitely beat his head into a pig's head so that he will never look like me again, so that he will not implicate good people. "
Hearing this, Shen Mu and Zhang Yi could not help bursting into laughter.
At this time, a horseman rushed outside the carriage window. Bending down, he reported, "Zongzhu, we have arrived at Huangshui City."
