"The news of smallpox spread in Xiazhou half a year ago, and people everywhere began to worry. He also wanted to make a comeback, but the leader of the caravan he followed did not want to conquer the city, but only wanted to rob passing merchants to make money."
I don’t know whether to say that Ergo is too ambitious, or that the leader of the horse thief is too low-spirited. Anyway, they have different paths.
The first boss of the horse thief didn't like Ergo and wanted to squeeze out the second boss, but the second boss was even more ruthless and wanted to replace the first boss, so he quietly recruited people.
It's a pity that the third master is absolutely loyal to the first master. Most of the bandits in the village are also because the first master is generous to them, so there are not many people who are willing to switch to Erg.
"He himself estimated that the chance of winning was not good, and he knew that Jin Kui'an had a lot of people here, so he sent someone to deliver a message to him, hoping that Jin Kui'an would help him. When the time comes, he is willing to divide Ba Zhuo's treasures between them.
become."
"Then they came?" Bai Shan glanced at them and asked, "Then why are they staring at us?"
General Meng stared at him and asked, "You don't know? Their people confessed that the treasure they hid in the coffin was stolen, and the governor of Liangzhou took the treasure and used it as military supplies. No matter how powerful they are, they can't do it."
We grabbed things from the army, but I heard that in addition to the governor Duan, there was a group of people at that time. Because they also participated in the suppression of bandits, and because they found the treasure, they shared a lot of gold, silver and jewelry."
General Meng stared at Bai Shan and said word by word: "I heard that those people are you."
Bai Shan: "...Oh, it's the treasure placed in the coffin."
He said calmly: "It's just some gold and silver. We can't even see it. Where did these rumors come from?"
Hearing his answer, General Meng was startled, "You don't have any points?"
Bai Shan frowned slightly, "They said I was separated?"
He obviously didn't deny it, but General Meng subconsciously thought that he had no fault. He frowned slightly, "Could it be that the Liangzhou Army framed you?"
Bai Shan said sternly: "Prince Duan is not that kind of person. Could it be that the people below are spreading rumors? Or..."
Bai Shan turned to look at Erge who was in a daze, narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe he was deceived by someone?"
When General Meng looked at Bai Shan, something was wrong immediately. He said sympathetically: "If this is really the case, you are the unlucky ones. You are no worse than that Jin Kui'an."
Bai Shan: ...Thank you for the invitation. They are not unlucky at all.
Ergo, whose hands and feet were tied, also heard these words and shook his head in disbelief.
Jin Kui'an, who had just woken up and happened to hear this conversation, had his eyes darkened. If Bai Shan and the others didn't take the gold, silver and jewelry, then what were they doing all this time?
As soon as Jin Kui'an made any movement, everyone looked over. General Meng felt that the stab wound on his waist and abdomen was very painful. He covered his stomach and said to Nie Canjun: "Be careful with him, this person is very ferocious."
Of course Nie Canjun knew that, after all, he couldn't defeat the opponent.
Fortunately, he was tied very firmly, and the rope was the most expensive, starting from the shoulders and ending at the heels, so the most he could do was roll around in the sand.
Jin Kui'an struggled for a while and found that the rope would tighten when he moved, so he lay on the ground and refused to move.
Nie Canjun stepped forward, poked him and asked, "What do you have to say?"
Jin Kui'an glanced at the remaining soldiers and sneered: "It's too early to be proud now. It's not certain who will die first."
Nie Canjun snorted angrily, "Now you're all for fish and meat."
Jin Kuian sneered again and again.
Bai Shan felt a little uneasy when he saw this. It didn't seem like an empty threat. He turned to General Meng and asked, "Have you cleared out their den of thieves?"
Jin Kui'an, who had just woken up, missed this section, so he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and turned his head to see General Meng. In the end, he could only see half of Bai Shan's body, and couldn't see the person in front of him at all.
.
Seeing him like this, Bai Shan kindly reached out and grabbed his neck and pulled him forward, letting him see General Meng.
Only then did Jin Kui'an see the person who was talking to Bai Shan just now, and he said angrily: "Huang Maoer, it turns out to be you!"
General Meng snorted coldly at him, "No matter how much you scold me, I will still be a defeated general."
Jin Kui'an sneered, "Who is the loser? If you hadn't bullied the few with more..."
"When you started beating us, you were bullying the minority with more," Nie Canjun, who was on the side, interjected and sneered: "It takes fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps. What qualifications do you have to bring up the topic of defeating the minority with more?"
Bai Shan also smiled and said, "As long as you can win."
He lowered his head slightly, stared at Jin Kui'an's face, and said thoughtfully: "Aren't you the biggest horse thieves around here? Once you fall, the caravan who had to rely on you before will probably be proud of you."
Jin Kui'an just sneered and said nothing, looking confident.
Erge on the side wanted to speak at first, but thinking of the humiliation Jin Kui'an had given him along the way, he stopped talking.
Forget it, why would such a person save him?
Bai Shan stared at his face closely, and looked at Erge out of the corner of his eye. He was instantly sure that Jin Kui'an was really confident.
He thought for a while, then got up and went to find Zhiren, "Master, the biggest horse thief around here is the one who set up the checkpoint? Who else has a power other than them that can compete with them, or even be higher than them?"
Zhiren thought for a while and then said: "The village chief said that they are the most powerful, so they directly occupied their houses and drove them out. The entire town now belongs to them."
He said: "Although that small town is not as good as the old Loulan ancient city, it is not small either. The fact that they were able to occupy that small town shows their strength. If there are people nearby who are comparable to their power, it is impossible to watch them monopolize the small town."
When Bai Shan heard this, he became more and more sure, "Is that from outside?"
His heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Tubo still far away from here?"
Zhi Ren's heart skipped a beat, and he whispered: "It's not very far, and the Anxi Army has limited remaining power, so it may not be able to take care of this side..."
Apparently he also understood what Bai Shan meant.
Bai Shan stood there for a while, then turned back to find Nie Canjun and General Meng, "We can't stay here, we have to rush to Gaochang immediately."
General Meng's soldiers carried a box for him to lean on. He leaned back and rested on the box. Hearing this, he yawned and said, "Then we must be able to leave. Look at our casualties."
There are so many, you can't leave us remnants behind, right?"
"But don't worry, we won't stay too long. We will stay for another day and leave tomorrow."
Bai Shan glanced at him, then turned to look at Jin Kui'an, staring condescendingly into his eyes and asked, "You have cooperated with Tubo. Will Tubo come to attack Anxi?"
