"Silk Road", a bright pearl on the ancient path of the Central Plains. It began in the Central Plains with the ancient capital of Chang'an. Through the "Hexi Corridor", it traversed grasslands, deserts, mountains, rivers, oceans … Just like bloodlines, they crisscrossed and linked up with each other along the way, colluding with Central Plains, Chidan, Turkic, Hui Wei, Tuyuhun, Bai Lan, Tu Fan, Zupi, Nanke, Tian Zhu, Dashi … The cultural and historical policies of the people and tribes. It is clearly a brilliant pearl long chain, linked with a strong history of the Great Wall. However, the road that flowed with silk, gold, and jewels had once been filled with blood and desolation.

Sunset, the west, the old trees, the crow, the bridge, the water, people;

Numerous black mountain stone inscriptions had already flashed past their two sides. Birds and beasts, portraits of human beings, vivid and lifelike. The five of them, especially Ye Wuhai who loved the culture and art of the Ancient Era, wanted to stop here and take a look at the simple and unadorned stone carving. However, they could only see a few stone paintings floating before their eyes. Where would they have the time to sharpen the scenes of drills, archery, herding, hunting, and dancing on the screen? Perhaps one day, after they had completed their mission, they would revisit this place and take a look.

"Shop owner, I've ordered your shop assistant to feed our mounts to the fullest. Tomorrow, we still need to hurry on ahead of time!" After Ye Wuhai finished speaking, the waiter quickly replied: "Of course! That's right! "Generals, rest assured. If I have any areas that I might slack off, I will have to wait patiently."

"Hahaha, why is the shop owner so serious?" Ye Wuhai looked at the funny look on the waiter's face and could not help but laugh: "How long has this inn been here for?"

"To tell you the truth, General, it has just opened to the full moon. You must be new, aren't you? "

"At least you're smart." Ye Wuhai praised: "I have stayed at this place before. At that time, it would no longer be called the General's Inn! I wonder what is the purpose of your calling this place by name? "

"That's right, shop owner." Beside him, Wang Mingyi continued to ask, "Is this the name of an inn opened by the hussar general, or is it an inn specially reserved for him?"

While speaking, the waiter had led the five of them to the Eight Immortals' table in the main hall and said, "Five generals, please take a seat. Wait a moment, the meat and wine will be served immediately. Also, I will tell everyone about the origin of the name later. " With that, the waiter entered the room and started to busy himself. Ye Wuhai and the others finally sat down as if they were carrying a heavy burden.

"Here it comes — a pot of hot wine and four dishes of Stir-Fried Vegetables." The waiter yelled as he placed steaming dishes of wine and food on the table. After placing the items carefully, the waiter respectfully said, "What did this general say about the person who came? Oh! This inn! Surely the generals knew that a hussar general had fallen ill in the Han Dynasty? Hadn't our inn been named after the General Hussain's Inn in memory of this valiant general? "Of course, it's not that this is an inn set up by the hussars, it's just that it's meant to be used by other generals like you."

"Ha!" "You are very clear." Wang Mingyi said with a smile, "It looks like you also know the history of this Jiuquan Town!"

"Of course! "Of course!" The waitress responded and explained, "This spring of wine is called Jin Quan. Its spring has three, the spring is clear to see the bottom, blue as wine. After forty years of irrigation, there were five fields within twenty miles of the river. Later, the Han Dynasty hussar general Huo Quang went to battle against the Huns, who won a complete victory, that is, stationed in the western region of the river. Martial Emperor Han awarded him with meritorious service and bestowed him with a jar of wine. But since the wine was so small, General Huo ordered her men to pour it into the spring and drink it with the army. Therefore, the later generations changed Jin Quan's name to Jiuquan. Right now, the scenery by the spring is beautiful and serene. It's actually half an acre of clear pond, a crease of green. The lake that is connected to the spring is known as the spring, the lake center and the Three Waters Pavilion on the lake wall.

"Good, good!" Ye Wuhai turned to look at the shop owner and praised: "With you here telling the legendary story, not only will you attract customers, but you will also make us drunk. From now on, I think, this practice should be a feature of your General Hussain's Inn, and it will make it famous and prosperous. "

"What the general says is true! Please have a drink. " The waiter said as he poured each of them a cup of warm wine. Soon after, he continued, "Generals, please take a look. This is the Five-Colored Nightlight Cup, one of the treasures of my shop. I saw that some of them had extraordinary bearing and would definitely not be ordinary people, so I took out this cup to drink with the five generals to cheer them up. I hope that the generals can eat and drink well. Your residences have been arranged properly.

At this time, when Ye Wuhai and the other brothers saw that his own door was filled with a cup of warm wine, a wave of warmth and a wave of cold microwaves rippled in their hearts. Perhaps, after this banquet, they would rush to the battlefield to conduct a difficult expedition. Perhaps, this feast was the last time the five brothers would be able to see each other again. What happened in the future was truly unpredictable. Ye Wuhai didn't want to think any further. He solemnly raised his Night Light Cup and said: "Come, brothers. "If we do not drink this wine, we will share the same suffering, and share the same fate."

"Come, let's share the hardships!" As they talked, they raised their glasses and downed the wine in one gulp.

Ye Wuhai put down his wine cup and sighed: "A real man would either be passionate and fierce when he comes to this world, or he would just be an honest and obedient man. Since we have embarked on this official road, we must make it hot and do something big. Even if we die in the battlefield, we won't lose the heroic image of our warriors. As the saying goes, a grape wine needs a cup of light at night. "Lord Grim, drunk on the battlefield. Gu Lai, how many have returned." In other words, we must have the determination and preparation to die for our country! How could he be merciful when a man died? The important thing is that death is worth it; death is worth it; death in the name of light justice will fill the universe with his soul. "

"Come, General Ye!" Li Mingchao had already filled five cups of light, and said loudly: "We four brothers vow to follow the general to our deaths, and this second cup of wine, will drink to our 'Drunk Crouching Sand Grounds'!"

"Good, cheers!" "Good, cheers!" The five of them drank it all in one gulp.

If this wasn't the case, then the five of them could display the wind of a military general. That night, after they had eaten their fill and drunk their fill, they would lie down until dawn, safe and sound!

In the east, the sun rose once again on April 21st. The five riders were heading towards the sun.

Time was stimulating. On this day, the five of them had already entered the borders of the Zhang Ya (Ganzhou). They galloped through the barren desert, looking ahead of them with their beady eyes. Graveyard after grave came into view. For the generals they had fought in the north and south, they had passed through this place many times. Amongst this group of Han tomb castles, Old Ganzhou, commonly known as Blackwater Kingdom's castle, was not only the military post station on the West River Corridor and Silk Road, but also the resting place on the commercial road of "Eastbound West". It stood for a long time in this vast desert, which had endured countless wars, fires, smoke, and spring, summer, autumn, and winter; but this ancient road, with its tenacious perseverance, always circulated in the distance commercial, military, and cultural messages, adding splendour to the cultural history of the Central Plains and its surrounding peoples and tribes.

The horses of Ye Wuhai and the other four had already slowed down their pace, moving forward unhurriedly in a straight line. Not far ahead, a line of caravans was approaching them from the Han Tombs. A gust of wind blew from the west, and the crisp sound of a camel's bell, which came from far away, drifted into their eardrums. At this time, Ye Wuhai couldn't help but be shocked, and looking at this slowly moving camel that was carrying a lot of weight, a layer of emotion swept through his heart. In these chaotic times of war, in these desolate deserts, it was indeed a miracle of the mortal world's business world that this camel's footsteps could not be stopped. Whether it was on the battlefield, in the government, in the martial arts world's forest road, in the shopping mall, in the love field, in the wulin world, there would always be hot-blooded men defending the humanities and creating miracles around the world.

One after another, camels slowly walked past Ye Wuhai and the other four. Suddenly, Ye Wuhai saw a familiar face from a hunchback. Surprise and excitement immediately spurred him to jump off his warhorse and rush over as he loudly shouted, "Big brother!"

At this time, the merchant on the hunchback had already leaped down, and rushed towards "Ye Tianyun" and shouted: "Fourth brother!"

As he called out, these two brothers who had been separated for a long time finally began to examine each other, their eyes filled with pleasant surprise. Who do you think this merchant is? This man was the son of the Ye Family, Ye Dongsheng. It was unimaginable for Ye Wuhai to meet her big brother Ye Dongsheng who was away from home and doing business on the desert road. How could he not be shocked and excited as he ran and shouted? However, to Ye Dongsheng, it was a different kind of surprise. He first saw a handsome and familiar face on the opposite horse. He thought he had seen a ghost. He had personally come to the Lishan to cry in front of the tomb of her third brother, Ye Wuhai. But he quickly regained his senses. Wasn't it because he missed his third brother so much that he mistook his fourth brother, Ye Tianyun, for his third brother? It was no wonder that he was unable to find the whereabouts of the neocorticoid in the capital.

"Big brother! When did you start the silk business? " Ye Wuhai asked as he continued holding Ye Dongsheng's hands. However, Ye Dongsheng did not immediately answer Ye Wuhai's question. Instead, he beamed with joy and said: "Fourth Brother! "Why didn't you inform Big Brother before you left the capital? I've searched bitterly for several months, and it turns out that you've run all the way to the desert."

"Big brother!" Ye Wuhai said with a smile, "Up till now, you and I have not been able to differentiate. It is said that Fourth Brother and I are like twin brothers. It is no wonder that Big Brother still has not figured it out. "

Hearing Ye Wuhai's words, Ye Dongsheng couldn't help but size up his fourth brother Ye Tianyun once again, and say in astonishment: "What? Are you not the fourth brother, Tian Yun? "

"Hahaha!" Ye Wuhai said in amusement, "I am your third brother, Ye Wuhai."

"You … Aren't you dead? " Ye Dongsheng exclaimed, "But it's been rumored that you've been killed. And Big Brother has even personally come to your mausoleum! It's right in front of Lintong! "

After hearing these words, Ye Wuhai immediately thought back to half a year ago. The Son of Heaven, in order to free him from the misconception and pursuit of the martial world, sought a substitute to fight against many warriors in the Black Turtle Sect. From then on, he disappeared from the capital, and was ordered to secretly head to the Dunhuang, and even changed his name to Murong Tianshui. It was only recently that he revealed his true name to his subordinates. He hadn't thought that the Son of Heaven would deal with him so cleanly. So the Son of Heaven had even specially built a mausoleum for him to confuse the world. It was truly meticulous! If his big brother hadn't mentioned it today, he would still be in the dark! However, that was all in the past now. With regards to his big brother, he did not need to hide this matter too much. It was best to clearly explain whether or not it was right or wrong.

"Big brother! My name is harmless, how could I really be killed? It was just a farce. "Come, let's have a chat over here."

Thus, Ye Dongsheng let his caravan rest on the spot and bid farewell to his third brother.

"Third brother, it's rare for us brothers to meet. Why don't we and your brothers bid each other farewell at this feast? "Because this will be my last silk business, and then I will open up a new road to go to Yunnan to do a big business on the Tea Horse Road."

"Big brother, your foolish brother has military affairs on him, so he does not dare to delay. I hope that brother can forgive me. "

"Alright, as long as we are in the government and business, we each have our own responsibilities and can't help ourselves. Big brother will not force you. "

"Big Brother, before we depart, little brother has two more requests."

"Third brother, go ahead! Big brother will definitely do it! "

"We were ordered to go to Helan this time, so we are afraid that we might die in the battlefield. I request big brother to definitely find fourth brother, Tian Yun, in the future. Also, I will leave the heavy responsibility of taking good care of mother to you. " As he said that, Ye Wuhai couldn't help but bow towards Ye Dongsheng with tears streaming down his face.

Although the two brothers parted ways when they saw each other, the people who stood far away waiting to leave felt like the brothers' separation was a touching one. Ye Dongsheng held his third brother up from the sand and said sincerely, "Third brother, don't worry. Once I finish this last round of silk business, I will definitely return to my hometown, take care of my mother, and then search for the missing Fourth Brother Ye Tianyun. "

"Big brother! Take care! "

"Take care!"

Thus, the two brothers clasped their hands and bid each other farewell and looked back at each other.

The camel's bell once again rang out with the wind. The five cavalrymen and the caravan gradually pulled away from each other. The brothers looked back at each other, and finally revealed their iron hooves and ran away.

Time passed quickly, and Ye Wuhai and the rest of the five officers left the Zhang Ya, arriving at the Liangzhou Realm. Due to the days of travelling and the dust from day to night, Ye Wuhai and the other three people had no choice but to stop at the relay station to rest and rectify the situation. While they were there they heard again from the station that it was the letter of the Son of Heaven, urging him to hasten to Heran to assist the Son of Heaven in his conquest of Chitan.

Because of this, Ye Wuhai did not dare delay any further, and had even brought the Zhang, Wang, Li and Zhao brothers on horseback to set off early. However, the path of enemies was narrow and coincidental. Just when the five of them were panicking, they coincidentally ran into Red Lama, "five elements hero", "Five Paths Expert" Chu Dingfang, "Shock of Demons Great Hero" Zhang Kailu and eight other people. Of the eight of them, none of them did not know the Ye Wuhai who had let Aliye Ku'er, the assassin, go and kill Master Danzhi. However, a few of them, especially the 'five elements hero', had personally killed Ye Wuhai in front of the Xuan Wu Sect in the capital city. However, their hateful gazes and thoughts did not allow them to think much more. They raised their weapons one by one and waged a life and death battle with Ye Wuhai and the other two on the main road of the Liang Zhou Province. It was not until the dawn of the next day, April 22, that the results of the massacre were finally revealed. In the end, Red Lama remained neutral, and did not dare to participate in the battle. The lives of the other seven members of the clan went to the west, while Ye Wuhai and Li Mingchao remained the only two out of the five brothers.

The eastern sun once again illuminated the earth. Seven or eight corpses lay on the ancient road as wolves, no longer appreciating the light of this century. What good would come of killing someone who wanted to kill them? In the end, of the eight people heading west, only the Red Lama left. Perhaps this was because he had already understood the six words of the mantra, "Om, oh, ah, wah, wah, meow, wah!" In the end, he was the only one who had managed to turn the situation around! She had transcended life and death.

Outside the pavilion, at the edge of the ancient path, grass and sand were scattered everywhere, forming a desert that stretched into the sky. Ye Wuhai and Li Mingchao had personally buried the three brothers who had fallen in this massacre, and had carved the names of Zhang Tianxiang, Wang Mingyi and Zhao Ziren on three different wooden boards, and placed them in front of their graves.

"Hahaha, Ye Wuhai, so you're not dead yet!" A laugh of ridicule suddenly alarmed Ye Wuhai and Li Mingchao who were staring at the grave. They turned to look, and at some point a large number of caravans appeared behind them. The merchant who was proudly sitting on his hump was the third young master Su Hengchong of the capital's' Silk Guest 'Su Baoshan.

"Humph!" Li Mingchao was about to pull out his sword, but he was stopped by Ye Wuhai.

"Ye Wuhai! You really know how to build a tomb! " Su Hengchong continued to ridicule him and said, "You built a fake grave in Lishan and pretended to be dead. I didn't expect you to come to the west to build a tomb again. "

Hearing Su Hengchong's words of provocation, Ye Wuhai did not answer, and only looked down on him with disdain.

"Ye Wuhai, to tell you the truth, Prime Minister Chen has already betrothed his daughter Chen Xiaonan to me again, and he even gave me a white and fat little son. And you? Right now, you are still completely alone, floating down to the ends of the earth. In a short period of time, Su Hengchong had made a fool of himself in front of Ye Wuhai. However, Ye Wuhai was not angered by his words. Instead, he said disdainfully, "If we did not defend the border, I think you would be the most miserable one!"

"Yo-ho!" You still dare to talk back? " Su Hengchong wanted to mock his again. However, Ye Wuhai and Li Mingchao had already leaped onto the saddle of the horse and attacked Ma Dong.

"Hmph, if you want to be my enemy, you can only drink the northwest wind!" After Su Hengchong finished speaking, he once again told his silk camel to start heading west.

In the northeast direction of Liangzhou, two cavalrymen flew as dust and smoke dissipated. Naturally, they hated Shui Changdong.

Ye Wuhai swayed atop his horse, his eyes staring straight ahead, endless thoughts already blossoming in his mind — "The spring wind has passed, and autumn has also gone; Life geometry? To drink wine like a song, to speak of heroes without tears. The low bones, the chivalrous bones, the seductive bones, finally turned into dried bones. Where was Gu Jinlong? Lonelytomb had lost a pile of grass. Everyone saw that the name of the deity, the name of the deity, the name of the deity, the gold and the silver, and the lovely wife were all better than that of the deity. But who would have known that the love between parents, brothers, and sisters were all linked? Spring was coming to an end, and the tornadoes turned to ashes as they dried up. The appearance of the 12 flowers is the newest, do not know who cherish flowers? The love of the sky and the sea, the fantasy body, the feelings of meeting and soul. For those who are rich and powerful, their gold and silver can be scattered, and their power thrown away; for those who are merciful, they can escape from death; for those who are heartless, their lives have been repaid; for those who are owed, their tears have been repaid; for those who are wronged, their grievances will be repaid; for those who have been scattered and gathered together will be decided. Those who saw through it would escape into thin air; those who were obsessed would lose their lives in vain. It was hard to separate when meeting, but the east wind was weak and fragmented. The love of the chaotic world heroes, the loyalty of the chaotic world heroes. A godly dragon that could not be seen, the Han Family had produced a heroic soul from ancient times. When the jade dew and the metal wind met, it was like countless others on earth. The world of filial piety is rare, who saw the love of this life? Why, since ancient times it has been difficult for her to be true to her feelings, but she still loves this night. Where did you wake up from the drinking this night? Willow Shore, Xiao Feng Ruyue. The strong wind rises in troubled times and waves strike against the shore. There was no path in the human world that was not high, and no end in sight. Since ancient times, the reason why he suffered so much was because he was sad for the beauty trial. A pampered body, warm garden only does not raise gold jade leaves. The foppish young man was overestimating himself. How could he expect that a woman wouldn't let him see the light? How much trouble is there in this chaotic world? Endless love of sand in the waves, sea dry stone rotten also hard to kill! "Since ancient times, sentimentality has hurt young people, and the Yangtze River has never flowed again!"
