The Western Regions are a desert.
Maybe you won’t meet someone after walking all day.
This is an empty land, deserted and even the air has a suffocating smell of loneliness.
However, this seemingly calm land hides many dangers that ordinary people cannot imagine.
The beasts that appear in the wilderness may not know when the storm will appear. Conflicts and conflicts between various races, as well as the brutal horse thieves and bandits... In short, on this land, there are all the dangers you can imagine and unimaginable.
In this case, compared with the other three, Yang Shiliu, who is more familiar with the Western Regions, could he relax his vigilance?
I didn’t hear Aji say during the day, there was a yellow beard appearing!
Yang Shouwen secretly observed Yang Shiliu and suddenly said, "Shiliu, are you very familiar with this place?"
Yang Shiliu leaned against Luotuo, and when he heard Yang Shouwen's words, he quickly stood up and wanted to stand up.
However, Yang Shouwen stopped him.
This child is very clever and loyal.
But maybe it is precisely because the Guo family in Xianyang was trained so hard that they were ruthless, and every move was filled with a scent of servility.
It is definitely not a good word to be servile.
It may not be very accurate when used on Yang Shiliu, but it is also a bit appropriate.
Yang Shouwen said: "Sixteen, we are now masters and apprentices, not masters and servants.
The night is long, and you and I talk to each other at night. You and I can do whatever you feel comfortable. There are not so many rules. I don’t know what you were like in the Guo family before. But on my side, you don’t have to care about those rules, just relax.”
Yang Shiliu showed a shy look and scratched his head. He seemed a little embarrassed.
He leaned against the camel again, but he was still tense.
That feeling was like a little wolf cub. Although he tried hard to relax, he was still a little vigilant.
"I used to follow Ah Lang... Oh, it was the fourth young master's house several times that I have been to my house.
The farthest time was to Tiemen Pass, and the closest one was to Shouchang. It was not considered familiarity, but I have been to some places and have come into contact with people here, so I will know more. But it is just a little bit of understanding."
Just understand, but most afraid of being blinded.
Yang Shouwen suddenly remembered something and asked again: "Then have you heard of the yellow beard?"
Yang Shiliu nodded, "I have heard of it, but I have never seen it."
"Do you know their background?"
"I don't know very well..." Yang Shiliu thought for a while and replied: "The Yellow Beard is very mysterious in Anxi. There are not many people who know their background. I have only heard that the Yellow Beard appeared in Anxi thirty years ago. It seemed that it appeared in Baishui City at the beginning. I did several major cases and killed many people... Later, the Yellow Beard disappeared. When it appeared again, it should have been twenty years ago. At that time, Anxi was in turmoil. The court abandoned the four towns of Anxi, and Tubo was the upper hand.
At that time, the yellow beard was the most rampant, with whereabouts spread across most of the Anxi Protectorate, and many shocking cases were committed.
But later, the imperial court occupied four towns again and established the Protectorate in Kucha.
The yellow beard is much more honest. Although it still appears in Anxi, it is much more restrained than before and is not so rampant... The last time I heard about the yellow beard. They robbed a Kangguo caravan in Pamir three years ago and killed everyone in the caravan. At that time, this incident caused a lot of sensation in Anxi."
Before Yang Shouwen set out, he studied an information about Anxi.
But to be honest, Shangguan Wan'er's information is mostly based on some macro information, which helps Yang Shouwen to understand comprehensively.
But there are not many specific details in Xiaoluantai.
In Xiaoluantai's information, there were several mentions about the rampant horse thieves in the Western Regions, but there was no specific explanation. After all, Wu Zetian was in charge of the world, and she would understand what the kings of Anxi countries ate and when to do what they did, but they might not have the energy to understand what the rampant horse thieves in Anxi looked like.
However, from Yang Shiliu's words, Yang Shouwen still heard some interesting content.
When Tubo occupied the four towns of Anxi, yellow beards were rampant.
After the Tang army regained control of Anxi, yellow beards seemed less frequent... What does this mean?
Does the yellow beard pro-Tang army and hate Tubo?
Yang Shouwen felt that he should strengthen his understanding of information in this regard.
"Sixteen, it's getting late, go to bed!"
Yang Shouwen looked up at the sky and whispered to Yang Shiliu: "I will stare here. You can rest for a while, we will still have to rush to the road tomorrow."
"But……"
"Ha, what are you afraid of? Do you think that yellow beard will come to you?"
Before Yang Shouwen finished speaking, a harsh whistle suddenly echoed over the quiet Gobi Desert.
The whistle was long and extremely sharp, and it seemed particularly abrupt on the empty Gobi Desert! With the sound of that whistle, whistles were heard one after another, forming a group of them. Camels and war horses were awakened and seemed to be panicked. Mingxiu and Yang Cunzhong also stood up one after another, and Yang Cunzhong even reached out and picked up the sword.
What's going on?
Yang Shouwen felt a little confused!
Yang Shiliuze's face turned pale and he whispered: "Master, he's a yellow beard!"
"How do you know?"
"That's the Jie flute, the sound of the Jie flute... I have heard that whenever a yellow beard attacks, it must be the Jie flute connected and echoing each other.
This is a unique feature of yellow beard.
Master, you really hit it, the yellow beard is coming!"
My crow's mouth!
Yang Shouwen suddenly became nervous because he had heard the faint sound of horse hooves sounded from all sides. At the end of the Gobi Desert, there were starry torches, which were rushing towards them quickly. Looking at the torches, the number of people on the other side was few and hundreds of people. Did the yellow beard really come to the door? Yang Shouwen picked up the nine-ring tin staff, revealing a solemn look.
They want to run away, it’s too late!
The yellow beard obviously came prepared, arranged it in advance, and surrounded it from all sides.
Yang Shouwen put the tin staff in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Sixteen, look at the luggage and horses... Silang, brother, don't act rashly."
Now, he is just a monk from the side, so how can he attract the attention of the yellow beard?
Yang Shouwen vaguely felt that the appearance of this yellow beard was probably related to the caravan that Bashimi Aji during the day.
Moreover, they are monks and have a high status in the Western Regions, so there should be no danger.
Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen relaxed a little. He silently looked at the horse thief who had surrounded him from all directions, but his face was calm.
The horse thief stopped about twenty steps away from Yang Shouwen and others.
The other party had about two or three hundred people, all of whom were dressed in white horses and black clothes, covered with black veils on their faces, and their heads were wrapped in white.
A white horse took the lead ten steps forward and shouted loudly.
Yang Shouwen could understand Turkic dialect, but the other party's language... was not Turkic dialect!
Yang Shiliu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, he speaks Persian, let's go over and talk."
Persian?
Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then stepped forward.
"Master, be careful."
"It's okay... Wujing is with me."
Yang Shouwen signaled Mingxiu and Yang Cunzhong not to be impulsive, and then took Yang Shiliu and stepped forward and took five steps.
In this way, he finally saw the other party's outfit clearly.
There was a black robe on the outside, and a short robe on the inside. Judging from the outfit, it was more like the Hu people's outfit, but it was a little different. He had a big belt around his waist and a string of flowing beads hanging around his neck, and his style was also very unique.
"Master, they asked you, who is it?"
Yang Shouwen pondered for a moment and signaled that the Sixteen behind him would not speak.
"Who can speak Turkic language or Central Plains language?"
Yang Shouwen shouted loudly in Turkic language. The horse thief was stunned for a moment, suddenly turned his head and retreated into the team.
After a moment, three more horses came forward.
The leader was obviously a leader because the horse under his crotch was the most majestic.
He stepped forward, looked at Yang Shouwen's eyes, and said, "Where are you monks? Why are you here?"
Is it a woman?
As soon as she spoke, she revealed her identity.
Although there was a yellow beard floating under the black towel, the sound could not be concealed. The fact that she was a woman.
A yellow beard, is it a woman?
