Although Li Fugui mentioned the danger of the oasis, Muchuan still insisted on going to the oasis to rest.
It's not that Muchuan is not afraid of death, but because he is a talented and brave man and is not afraid of bandits or rebels.
You know, Muchuan led the Tang Dynasty to pass the customs. Those rebels would never dare to do anything to him unless they were crazy.
The so-called rebels are, in the final analysis, another faction of Tubo. They are eager to establish a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty and gain the support of the Tang Dynasty.
As for the bandits and others, Muchuan was not even afraid.
Due to the conditions of the desert environment, the number of sand bandits cannot be increased, and only a hundred people can survive.
In Muchuan's eyes, bandits of this size are simply a bunch of chickens and dogs.
You know, when he was in Silla, Muchuan was able to kill seven in and seven out of a bandit group of ten thousand people, and even killed the bandit leader alive.
Of course, Brother Diao had the assistance at that time, otherwise it would have been almost impossible to achieve it with Muchuan's efforts alone.
All in all, Muchuan insisted on going to the oasis, and Li Fugui could only obey and lead the team to the oasis location.
Just as Li Fugui said, the team traveled for about a hundred miles and finally saw a desert oasis surrounded by water.
The Ku slaves and the Le slaves all screamed excitedly when they saw this oasis.
Although the team carried a sufficient amount of water, it was only water that met basic needs. Except for Muchuan, who was able to drink as much water as he wanted, the rest of the group were strictly restricted from drinking water.
By now, everyone has been thirsty for a long time. Now that they see the oasis, they can drink a lot of water. It would be a lie to say that they are not excited.
Not to mention these slaves, even Muchuan was very excited.
It is quite exciting to see green in the endless desert.
"Master, we are lucky. There is no one in the oasis today."
Li Fugui looked at it and reported to Muchuan with great joy.
Money is important, but the most important thing is life.
If there are already bandits and rebels in the oasis, and if Li Fugui cannot persuade Muchuan to escape, then he will have no choice but to run away by himself.
Fortunately, Li Fugui does not have to face such a choice.
The team arrived at the oasis and rested here.
Everyone should drink water and take a shower.
Of course, Muchuan was not a barbarian, and he could not see his men behaving barbarically, so he just built a tent to serve as a temporary bathhouse for the women.
In this way, Le Nu will not be exposed to everyone.
Although Muchuan did not treat Le Nu as private property, he did not want their bodies to be seen naked by others.
The Lenus were deeply moved by Muchuan's kind deeds.
You know, slaves like them are not even as important as camels in the desert.
When Muchuan first took them into the desert, they were quite desperate.
Because when teams in the desert are short of food, they often kill women to use as food rations.
After all, in the desert, relatively weak women are always the first victims in extreme situations.
Fortunately, Muchuan did not treat them differently along the way, but gave them more food and water than the men.
Now a temporary bathhouse has been built for them.
Even though they still didn't understand the language, they were grateful to Muchuan from the bottom of their hearts and felt that the master they met was the best in the world.
Except for Le Nu, the others were not very particular. They took off their clothes and jumped into the lake.
Of course, the act of taking a bath should be done after drinking water.
Meimei rested for a day, and Muchuan and his party planned to set off again the next day.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes.
While the team was packing their luggage, a sandstorm suddenly rose in the distance.
"Sir, we're afraid we won't be able to leave. There's a sandstorm of this scale. If we move forward rashly, we'll all die in it!"
Li Fugui said bitterly.
Although Muchuan was in a hurry to get on the road, he was not in a hurry for a day or two. He just planned to wait for the sandstorm to pass before hitting the road again.
Sandstorms are natural disasters, and natural disasters cannot be resisted by humans.
Muchuan is not afraid of bandits or rebels, but he still has to show awe for natural disasters.
The sandstorms are blowing non-stop. Thanks to the many plants on the oasis side, the sandstorms blowing here are also subject to great checks and balances.
Even so, the lake water is also mixed with dust and becomes more yellowish.
The sandstorm lasted for three days.
During these three days, Muchuan deeply realized why the desert was even more terrifying than the ocean.
Wherever the sandstorm is caused, the world seems to be swallowed up by dust. Looking from a distance, it looks like the end of the world.
Fortunately, the sandstorm finally came to an end.
Only then did everyone come out of the tent, intending to get some fresh air.
After all, when there is a sandstorm, no one dares to come out easily.
Even on an oasis, the visual distance is only one meter. Going out in this situation and losing your way is tantamount to a death sentence.
Muchuan also came out to get some air. Even though the air was still mixed with the smell of dust, it was still the outside air, which was much fresher than the air inside the tent.
Muchuan had excellent eyesight. Through the dust, he suddenly noticed that besides his own group, there seemed to be other people camping in the oasis.
Seeing this, Muchuan understood clearly.
This is probably another team that escaped all the way to the oasis after encountering a sandstorm.
This was not a rare thing, and Muchuan didn't take it seriously.
After all, the oasis is not opened by your own family, so you can't restrict others from coming, right?
Although the sandstorm has stopped, there is still a large amount of dust in the sky. Before this dust falls to the ground, the visibility is not enough to support the team moving forward.
Muchuan was helpless, but he could only continue to wait, at least until the dust settled.
As the dust falls, visibility continues to recover.
Muchuan also gradually saw clearly the other group of people in Oasis.
After seeing the clothes of these people clearly, Muchuan was slightly surprised.
This is not like merchants or bandits, but more like a large-scale army.
Could it be the rebels?
Muchuan couldn't figure it out, so he quickly called Li Fugui and asked him to take a look at the situation.
Li Fugui's eyesight is not as good as Muchuan's. Not only can he see the other party's clothes clearly, he can't even see the person clearly.
In desperation, Li Fugui could only push forward against the dust.
Li Fugui didn't leave for long, and then ran back wildly.
While running, Li Fugui shouted.
"Run! It's the rebels! They found us!"
Sure enough, behind Li Fugui, a group of well-trained soldiers were chasing him at a uniform pace.
Muchuan was not moved when he heard this.
This group of rebels is very small in number. Judging from the number of tents, there are probably only a few dozen people.
This kind of quantity is simply not worth showing off to Muchuan!
