Chapter 1 The Thief Four Part One

Chapter 1 The big thief (Fourth Shang) Pan Zhanqiang (He Bulan) has been in the Turkic camp for some time, so he is very familiar with the layout of the camp. Now that it is important to escape, he can no longer worry about fear, and takes Xu Dayan

He and Li Xu turned southeast and north, and under the cover of the shadow of the felt bag, they soon arrived at the east gate of the camp.

The Turkic warrior Shidemi guarding the east gate was a veteran who had fought with Ashina Choyu for many years. He was always alert. When he saw the fire in the city, he immediately thought that someone was trying to create chaos, so he immediately called all his brothers.

They got up and blocked the door. They planned to defend it tightly so that not even a grasshopper could jump out. However, the fire in the city was too great. In a short time, the granary, the horse stable, the craftsman's workshop, the livestock pen, and several places where life was critical were all erupted.

With the thick smoke all around, the sound of war drums calling for soldiers and the blaring of horns for help were heard. As a last resort, he had to send out his brothers in waves to help put out the fire. Seeing that the remaining soldiers on hand could no longer make up one fire (ten people), he suddenly heard

There were rapid sounds of horse hooves coming towards the camp gate.

"Who is it, stop!" Steve pulled out his scimitar and stood up to block the entrance of the camp. The remaining seven brothers also drew their swords at the same time and formed an attacking square around him.

"Secret Service Lord, give me an order to let everyone put out the fire in the granary!" Three fast horses rushed forward. On the back of the front horse, a gray-faced Han man answered in broken Turkic language.

"It's this guy!" Shitimi's heart skipped a beat. He had seen the rider on the horse before. This man was Lord Queyu's Han retainer. He was timid and cowardly. Almost all Turkic generals had bullied him, but he never dared.

He fought back and did not dare to complain in front of Queyu.

"Lord Queyu's stable is on fire. Everyone, hurry up and save him!" Pan Zhanqiang (He Bulan) held the blade of the dagger in the palm of his hand, with the handle facing outward, and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Show me the warrant first!" Shi Dimi took a few steps forward and said nonchalantly.

The thing just couldn't be seen by the torches in the soldiers' hands. Out of caution, Shimi decided to verify the authenticity of the warrant before making a decision.

"Here!" Pan Zhanqiang stretched his hand forward respectfully. The moment Shi Demi reached out to receive the order, he flipped his wrist and pierced the opponent's throat with the dagger.

"Ah!" Shi Dimi felt the cold wind blowing against his face, and instinctively leaned back. Pan Zhanqiang's dagger went empty, and immediately pinched the horse's belly. The horse's raised front legs hit Shi Di Mi's shoulder.

"Catch the spy!" Steve shouted and fell down. Before he could get up, an arrow flying from the sky had already been shot into his chest.

In an instant, the situation suddenly changed, and all the soldiers were stunned. Xu Dayan was waiting for this moment. He slapped his horse and waved his sword, and rushed towards the infantry square that was damaged due to the lack of one person. The Turkic soldiers who had lost their leader were his opponents. In an instant,

Four of them were chopped down by him, and the remaining three ran away for their lives. One was trampled over by He Bulan with horse hooves from behind, and the other two were shot down by Li Xu with bows and arrows. They fell beside the felt bag near the camp gate.

"Brother Pan releases the suspension bridge, and Zhong Jian seals the streets with bows and arrows!" Xu Dayan ordered loudly, jumped off his horse, and took off the city gate key from Shi Demi's waist.

Pan Zhanyang (He Bu Lan), who usually trembled when seeing blood, stopped trembling now. He picked up a bloody machete from the ground, went straight to the winch hanging on the suspension bridge, rounded his arms, gritted his teeth, and cut it three times.

The winch cut into pieces and the suspension bridge, which had lost its ties, swayed. It was photographed from the air, and then it hit the trench protecting the city with a "bang" sound.

The loud noise alerted the Turks near the camp gate. A dozen herdsmen rushed over with torches held high, trying to capture the three "spies" who were busy opening the door. Li Xu bent his bow and set an arrow, and knocked the owners of the torches to the ground one by one.

Seeing that something was wrong, the shepherds shouted and dispersed. Li Xu turned his horse's head and followed Xu and Pan out of the camp gate.

"Zhong Jian is good at archery!" Xu Dayan praised while riding his horse.

"The enemy is bright and we are hidden!" Li Xu gasped and put away the few arrows from his horn bow. They were the result of his hard training for more than half a year. If he had encountered the same situation half a year ago, he would have been beaten into flesh by the shepherds with sticks.

Sauce

"Am I dreaming?" A strange thought suddenly came to his mind. The burning city, the burning sky, and all the memories of the grassland were as false and ethereal as a dream.

The sound of horse hooves in my ears gave me the clearest answer.

It was now the middle of the night, the moon had disappeared, and the stars in the sky were so big that they seemed like they could be picked off with your hands. The three of them did not bother to appreciate the bright night on the grassland. They drove their horses and drove hard until dawn, and then they found a small valley to stop and rest.

They fled in a hurry, and no one brought any dry food. Fortunately, it was golden autumn, and wild beasts were everywhere. Li Xu squatted by the stream and drank a few sips of cold water. He walked into the bushes by the stream with his bow in hand. After a moment, he turned back.

There were two more sandgrouse and a hare.

"I'll take care of it!" Pan Zhengyang, who was slumped on the stone and gasping for air, suddenly became energetic and jumped up and said

Over there, Xu Dayan had already built a windproof stove with stones. The three of them started working together and quickly roasted the sand chicken and hare. Although there was no salt, pepper, star anise or other ingredients, the exhausted travelers came

Said, this is already a delicacy in the world

"Two heroes, where will you go from now on?" Pan Zhanyang asked vaguely, waving a rabbit leg.

"Of course you're going back to the Central Plains. Do you have anywhere else to go?" Xu Dayan looked at the branch in his hand and answered seriously. Even during his escape, his appearance remained elegant.

"Zi, levy, you, you are not afraid!" Pan Zhanyang dropped the half-gnawed bones and reached out to pull the wings of the sand grouse. His riding skills were not very good, but his eating speed was top-notch. In the blink of an eye, three sand grouse

Wings and two rabbit thighs were filled into his stomach

"Change your name and hide it in a remote place. Is the government really going to the sea to catch documents for us little fish and shrimps?" Xu Da looked at the north and answered absentmindedly.

The fire last night was really big. From midnight to now, the three of them have traveled more than a hundred miles at least. But looking north from here, the sky over there is still dark, as if it has been smoked.

According to this situation, half of the Turkic camp was destroyed in last night's fire. Queyu is a veteran in marching formations. According to common sense, his carefully arranged camp should have fully considered fire prevention in autumn? How could it be?

The tails of a dozen horses tied with straw were burned so badly?

After setting such a big fire, the three of them did not dare to stay nearby for a long time. After breakfast in a hurry, they climbed on the horse and continued on their way. Both Li and Li had been tempered by the long journey, and their physical fatigue could easily recover. Pan Zhanyang was a scholar, but he didn't.

No matter how far you go, you start to sway on the horse's back

Li Xu was soft-hearted and rushed over to take care of him. Every time he went uphill or down the beam, he stretched out his hand to help. Even though he was so careful, Pan Zhanyang still fell off his horse several times and saw that his clothes were scratched by grass, revealing the smooth and white inside.

skin

"Two, two heroes, you, you go first, I can't drag you down!" Scholar Pan Zhanyang said intermittently behind Li Xu once again helping him onto the horse.

"We came out together, let's go together!" Li Xu replied without any doubt.

"Don't, don't be like this, I, I'm a waste, no, I can't..." Pan Zhanyang felt that tears were about to flow out, and he begged with a cry.

Before Li Xu could say words of support for each other, Xu Dayan suddenly pulled out his knife and put it on Pan Zhanyang's shoulder with a "snap". "If you want to run away, just say so. Don't pretend to be dead in this way!" He glared.

, shouted angrily

"Uncle, uncle, please speak slowly if you have something to say!" Pan Zhanyang's tears and nose immediately disappeared, and he suddenly became energetic. Li Xu, who found that he had been fooled, threw his sleeves angrily and ran to the front of the team.

"Hmph!" Xu Dayan sneered contemptuously and inserted the scimitar back into his waist. Pan Zhanyang followed him with a sad face and begged: "Xu, Xu Yingxiong, I just ran out of the Central Plains, you, you are always so proud.

If you insist on letting me go back with you, once the government officials come to find you, should we kill the officials and rebel, or should we be imprisoned for a few months and then go to Liaodong to die?"

"Let's burn down the camp in Queyu. If you don't go back to the Central Plains, where else can you go?" Xu Dayan didn't want to meet such a person, so he turned around and gave him a sideways look, and asked loudly.

"I, several of my fellow villagers went to listen to the Khitan tribe in the east, and I heard that they are doing well," Pan Zhanyang replied, rolling his eyes.

"Is the Khitan tribe far from here?" Li Xu turned his head in front and asked in a low voice.

"No, it's not far. How about the two heroes come with me?" Pan Zhanyang heard the hint of release in his words and asked tentatively.

"Go by yourself, be careful on the road!" Xu Dayan and Li Xu looked at each other and replied in unison.

After an incident in the Su Chuan tribe, both of them lost confidence in the enthusiasm of the foreign tribe. So what if they are doing well? When it comes time to seek benefits for the tribe, you are the first victim to give up. Although the Khitans interact with the Turks,

Not much. If Ashinachoyu asked them for the mastermind behind setting fire to the camp, they would definitely not risk war with the Turkic Khanate for the sake of two foreign boys.

"Then, did the little one really say goodbye?" Pan Zhanyang sat on the horse and asked hesitantly. Maybe it was because it was difficult to meet his own people on the grassland. Although they only met for a few hours, he felt deeply attached to the two people in his heart.

The young man has some reluctance to let go

"Go, try to go to the valley and find a small tribe to sell the horse as soon as possible. Don't make it public!" Li Xu whispered, opened the package with him, took out a fist-sized jade and stuffed it into Pan Zhanyang's hand, "After you settle down,

, buy some sheep to spend the day”

"Well, what's the point? I'm so sorry!" Pan Zhanyang declined quickly and stretched out his hand towards Li Xu, but his fist involuntarily grasped the jade stone tightly.

Li Xu shook his head, packed up the package and got on the horse again. Pan Zhanyang carefully looked at Xu Dayan's face, and then at Li Xu's bow and arrow. He said a few words of good-bye, then turned his horse and walked eastward, looking back all the time.

"You are such a generous person!" Looking at Pan Zhanyang's back walking further and further away, gradually accelerating, Xu Dayan cursed with a smile.

"Brother Maogong, are you talking about me? After all, he helped us!" Li Xu was stunned and asked hesitantly. In his impression, Xu Maogong has always regarded money as dirt, so why did he pay for a piece of poor quality today?

Jade is starting to care?

"That guy was afraid that if he walked with us, he would be overtaken by the Turks, so he ran away alone!" Xu Maogong glanced at his good brother who still had a green smile on his face, and reminded him in a low voice.

"Ah!" Li Xu felt remorseful and wanted to slap himself several times. He was unprepared for other people's calculations time and time again. He had suffered so many losses and still didn't have a long memory. He really had a stone-minded heart!

"Forget it, this guy is a character. Although he is a little timid, he is very thoughtful and ruthless!" Xu Dayan looked at Pan Zhanyang's retreating back and commented in a low voice.

Only a small black dot remained on the backs of the man and the two horses, and the lonely sound of horse hooves still echoed in the empty and silent wilderness.

Drunkard's note: I have some things to deal with. I will only update one today. Thank you for your support.
