Chapter 244: Descendants of the Anxi Army

"That's right, we are descendants of the Anxi Army. My God, open my eyes, I never thought that in this barbaric land, I could see people from my home country with my own eyes!" Looking at his tearful expression, Jiang Ning couldn't understand this special emotions, but they can feel the joy in their hearts.

"This is not the place to talk!"

A few flashes of cold light flashed, and the shackles that bound their freedom were instantly cut off.

At this time, the Arab soldiers stationed in the city also came quickly and surrounded them. Facing the nervous descendants of the Anxi Army, Jiang Ning's eyes were cold, bright silver light flourished, and death filled the air. All the soldiers instantly fell to the ground like dominoes and died.

"Honey...this..." Elizabeth came over at this moment, and just arrived here, saw Jiang Ning mercilessly killing dozens of people.

"Take me to where you live!"

"Yes, benefactor, please."

...

"Is this where you live?"

Looking at piles of shabby shacks, the surrounding environment is dirty, and the places where people live are also mixed with cattle, sheep and livestock. Each of them was wearing heavy shackles, surrounded by a circle of fences, and there were soldiers who stayed behind to handle them.

After getting rid of these soldiers, Jiang Ning was welcomed into the residence respectfully by the descendants of the Anxi Army he rescued.

"Engong, the house is too dirty, you have neglected Engong." The old man looked at Jiang Ning apologetically.

"Never mind!"

In the eyes, the bright silver brilliance flourished, and everyone's shackles broke into two in an instant.

There are more than two thousand descendants of Tang Anxi's army living in the slave shed, men, women and children, all of them are ragged and emaciated. There is despair on everyone's face, and they no longer have hope for the future.

Once a slave, not only himself, but also all descendants are slaves.

Regarding the magical power that Jiang Ning showed, their eyes finally changed, and they were filled with a new emotion called hope.

"Engong, are you a fairy?"

"I'm not!"

Although somewhat disappointed,

But I am still excited about Jiang Ning's arrival. In the voice of the old man, more than two thousand men, women and children gathered in an open space and looked at Jiang Ning.

The man who was rescued by Jiang Ning on the street kept talking about Jiang Ning to the surrounding crowd. Including rescuing them and killing dozens of Arab soldiers, etc., they also said it together. The onlookers were very grateful for Jiang Ning's actions, and they looked at Jiang Ning with full expectation.

"Tell me about your situation! How many Tang people are there in the entire Dashi country?"

"Yes, benefactor."

Then, the old man talked about their origins. Since it is a descendant of the Anxi Army, it must be related to the battle of Heng Ross between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire.

Both sides were in their strongest period, and both entered Central Asia respectively, in order to compete for Central Asia. Facing the invasion of the Arabs, the famous general Gao Xianzhi led tens of thousands of Anxi troops to face the Arab army, which was several times their enemy.

In the end, Gao Xianzhi was defeated! The Anxi army was elite and suffered heavy losses, coupled with the inconvenience of supplies. The Tang Dynasty also gave up Central Asia, and the whole of Central Asia was dyed green from then on.

The Tang people living there and the captured Anxi army were all denounced as slaves by the Arabs. Or, force you to believe in their Islam or die.

"Are you also intermarried with the locals?" Jiang Ning asked, seeing that there were obviously many people whose faces had changed among the crowd.

The old man sighed and said helplessly: "As a slave, how can I intermarry with free people? They were all born with intermarriages with Yi women who are also slaves, but they still cannot escape the status of slaves."

Suddenly remembered something, and became very nervous: "Grandpa, although their appearance has changed, they still have my Tang blood and learned my Chinese culture. Even if I am a slave, I will swear to the death that I will not change their teachings."

"Chinese culture? There were also scholars among the captives of the Anxi Army and the captive Tang people?"

"Yes, there are also children of the rich and powerful in the Anxi Army who came to gild." The old man nodded and admitted.

Jiang Ning was panicked, which made sense.

In the original Anxi Army and the Tang Dynasty, one was the elite of the elite, and the other was in its heyday. It is estimated that many children of the rich and powerful at the beginning regarded this duel with Dashi as a gilded road. Unexpectedly, the tens of thousands of elite Anxi troops were actually defeated. Although the casualties given to Dashi were also great, they did not damage the foundation of Dashi.

However, the Anxi army lost its elite through this battle, and the Tang Dynasty also turned from prosperity to decline.

As for why Dashi didn't take the opportunity to move eastward, it was probably frightened by the tens of thousands of expeditionary troops. In their view, tens of thousands of people faced an enemy that was several times larger. Although they were defeated, it also brought them heavy casualties. Facing Datang who didn't know the depth and the bottom line, Dashi also accepted it as soon as it was good and didn't make further provocations.

"Since inheriting my Chinese culture and carrying the blood of my Han family Miao descendants, it is naturally my Han!"

"Thank you for your understanding!"

"Do you know how many descendants of the Anxi army are scattered in Dashi?" Jiang Ning asked.

The old man said hesitantly, "I don't know this, but I know that there are probably a thousand slaves in the city of Joppa. As for the number of compatriots in other places, I don't know."

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Later, I will send you to a place where you can wait in peace."

The old man said excitedly: "Grandpa, can we still return to our homeland? I don't know how the Tang Dynasty is doing now."

"The old country?" Shaking his head and sighing: "I'm afraid I can't go back, the Tang Dynasty has long since died. And the battle of Hengluo at the beginning is almost 200 years old now. The Central Plains has already entered a troubled time and has not yet been unified. , Even if you wait to go back, there will be no good results, why don’t I find another country for you to reproduce and settle down.”

"Da Tang!!!"

More than 2,000 people heard the bad news, bowed to the east, and mourned the Tang Dynasty. Although several generations have passed, they also have guesses in their hearts, but it is far less shocking than hearing the coming shock with their own ears.

"My home is gone, I can't go back. In this barbaric land, even if you die, you are still a lonely ghost!"

More than 2,000 people wept bitterly, and the sound of crying resounded through the heaven and earth.

At this time, flames shot up into the sky, attacking the shack.

With the wand in hand, with a fierce wave, a bright silver cover was set up out of thin air, firmly protecting it. The flames invaded, and there was nothing they could do about the bright silver cover.

More than two thousand people were frightened, but they felt relieved after seeing such a miraculous scene.

"Hmph, wizard!"

The body rose into the air and looked down.

In the open space below, there are more than a dozen local wizards and some troops standing. After seeing Jiang Ning's figure, the archers instantly shot a dense rain of arrows.

How could an ordinary mortal weapon hurt Jiang Ning? He didn't move, the rain of arrows within three feet of his body turned into powder one after another. From Jiang Ning's body, black smoke sprang out suddenly, like a poisonous snake, entangled towards the dozens of wizards and the army below. A few wizards took the opportunity to escape, and the rest of the wizards and the army who did not escape were pulled apart in an instant.

"%￥#&a&a"

I don't bother to pay attention to it, and I don't even bother to listen to what those wizards said. A streak of residual green light struck quickly, and the remaining wizards had no time to dodge, and died instantly.

...

"You can't stay here anymore, I'll take you to a safe place." Looking at the crowd who had already been stunned by his methods, Jiang Ning turned and said to them.

"Yes, everything is up to benefactor!"

More than 2,000 slaves from the Tang Dynasty gathered their clothes, cattle, sheep and livestock, and followed Jiang Ning's footsteps to leave here.
