Qiangba did not know Zhiren, nor had he heard of Zhiren, but he was very familiar with Zhihao. He also knew that Gaochang was currently attending the Dharma Conference to prepare for the annual birthday of Patriarch Bodhidharma.
Just now, Zhi Ren also proved his ability by talking about Buddhism. In addition, he and Zhi Hao are both Zhi Zhi generations, so Qiang Ba had no doubts. Although he was sorry, he did not stop him. He only lamented that their fate was too shallow.
Zhi Ren then smiled and said: "The relationship was shallow at the time, but that doesn't mean it won't be deep in the future. Donor, it's getting late, so I have to say goodbye first."
Qiangba nodded regretfully again, but before leaving, he still asked: "Have you seen other convoys or cavalry on the road?"
Zhiren then sighed and said, "Donor, I have never met this poor monk before, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. We are already outside the world of mortals, but it is a pity to lose our lives. I hope that the benefactor will do less evil in the future."
Although the words were unpleasant, Qiangba became more and more respectful. He did not ask about the convoy and the cavalry anymore. Instead, he solemnly saluted and said, "Please, Your Majesty, please don't mention me after entering Gaochang."
Zhiren sighed and agreed, and said again: "This is your matter in the world of mortals."
So Qiangba let them go, and sat on his horse and watched them go away respectfully. When they were far away, Qiangba turned around, gathered up the reinforcements who had caught up, and then chose to go east, which was the direction from which Zhiren and the others came.
.
Qiangba said: "It was already too late when we received the message, but if Jin Kui'an and the others are chasing someone, they should be able to catch up a little further ahead. Let's go and take a look first to see what treasures he has got.
"
"General, didn't Jin Kui'an just agree to join forces with us? Will he be willing to give us the treasure?"
"As long as we have enough people, it doesn't matter if he wants it or not."
Qiangba led the people along the way Chiren and the others came. After running for a while, he gradually felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but stop his horse and look back.
The sand dune he was on was relatively high, and from here he could see far away places. At this time, there was only a small spot left in Chinin's convoy.
He narrowed his eyes and felt a little uneasy, "Why does this Venerable only have one monk with him?"
His personal soldier said: "Perhaps monks are expensive and he can't afford them?"
There are two types of monks in the Western Regions, one is ascetic and the other is extremely luxurious. Judging from this one's style, it is obvious that he is the latter.
The most powerful and wealthy monks are protected by monk soldiers and served by monks when they come and go. Only those who are not so heroic but like to show off will buy some slaves to serve them around.
However, looking at the convoy that had condensed into a black spot and was about to disappear from their sight, Qiangba felt more and more that something was wrong. Suddenly, his eyes condensed and he remembered one thing, "No, even one
There are no yellow strips of cloth, but they can actually ride one person and one person, and some people can even ride two people. They are just pretending, hurry up and chase..."
And long before he discovered it, after they had just walked a short distance, Zhiren said to Zhou Man and others: "Let them speed up, let's run quickly."
Man Bao asked him while informing him, "Have we been discovered?"
"No, but I don't think I can keep it secret for long." His eyes swept over the motorcade. It was too hasty and there were flaws everywhere. Not to mention anything else, there were so many beautiful gauze and satin on their car, but not a single one.
The yellow one is really too fake.
Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other and jumped out of the car. Behind them, Da Ji and the guards led their horses and ran up to hand them over.
The two of them got on their horses and ran to knock on Bai Erlang's carriage. "Get off the horse and throw Jin Kui'an and Erge into the luggage cart. Let Yin He and Changshou get into the car and we'll speed up."
So a carriage ran out of the train, and Jin Kui'an and Erge, who were unconscious in the carriage, were dragged out and thrown into the luggage cart.
Manbao directly asked people to throw away several boxes on the luggage cart.
The guards knew that some of the suitcases contained stones and hay. Although they did not know which suitcase was and which was not, since Miss Man had specified it, they would obey it.
After throwing down two boxes, Jin Kui'an and Erge were thrown into the car, and everyone continued to run in formation.
Bai Erlang and Liu Huan and Zhou Liru both mounted their horses and tried their best to protect the convoy at the right and left sides.
Keke suddenly said to Manbao: "There are soldiers and horses in front, about 1,500 people in total, and a flag with the Chinese character Jin on it."
Manbao was overjoyed, "He's one of ours!"
At this moment, Nie Canjun issued a warning and shouted: "They found out that they are coming. Come, protect Mr. Zhou and they leave, quickly -"
Man Bao glanced back, and sure enough, the Tibetan soldiers and horses, which had been far away from them, were galloping towards them. The billowing sand and dust were floating up, obviously something was wrong.
But the two sides have been going in opposite directions for a while, and it is not easy to catch up.
All the carriages carrying seriously injured soldiers left the convoy, and the three carriages of Yin He and Mr. Zhuang Wei Xingren also came out. Man Bao turned his head and glanced at Nie Canjun and the many soldiers who were slowing down. He gritted his teeth and kicked the horse in the belly.
Leave first.
The guards followed with horses, and a group of people protected several carriages and ran slowly at the front of the team.
Zhi Ren kept sighing, and their carriage was naturally among the preferential treatment. Fortunately, they had fought for half an hour and a long distance, so it was not in vain.
Man Bao turned around and shouted to Nie Canjun, "The reinforcements have arrived——"
Nie Canjun didn't believe it, but when he raised his head, he squinted and saw that there was indeed wind and sand blowing in the distance. Although he couldn't see anyone, the movement looked like those of the Tibetan soldiers.
Regardless of whether it was going to happen or not, Nie Canjun simply shouted and shouted: "Everyone rush towards Gaochang, hurry up -"
Jianba, who was running with all his strength to catch up with the people, saw that he could not catch up with them. He became even more convinced that they had been deceived, and became even more annoyed. These evil people actually used Buddha to deceive him, which was an unforgivable crime.
Seeing that the distance was getting shorter and shorter, some soldiers shouted, "General, they have reinforcements!"
It's a pity that Qiangba didn't listen at all and continued to rush forward. The flag-bearer only looked at Qianba. When he saw the general rushing forward, he naturally rushed forward too. The soldiers followed the flag and went wherever the flag went.
So the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer...
Seeing that they were close enough, Bai Shan said to Nie Canjun: "Cut off the luggage of the last three cars, abandon the luggage, and get out of the way..."
Nie Canjun had no time to question. Seeing that Bai Shan and Zhou Man were only a little ahead of them despite their efforts, he gritted his teeth and gave the order. The driver holding the carriage cut the rope, then nimbly jumped onto the horse's back, directly passing the front.
The luggage cart ran away.
The soldiers behind were well prepared and immediately dispersed to both sides to avoid the boxes that kept rolling down.
As soon as they avoided it, the Tibetan cavalry who were about to catch up behind them were blocked by boxes that suddenly appeared, and some even accidentally fell off their horses.
