Feng He's calmness made the soldiers who came out to rob very unhappy.
Just now at the pass, Feng He gave the soldiers twelve gold coins and two jars of fine wine. It was too generous.
The soldiers felt that Feng He was a bunch of fat sheep, so they immediately sent cavalry to follow and hunt him.
I thought that Feng He would be scared to death, but he didn't expect that Feng He revealed their identities in one word, and he didn't show any fear at all.
The soldiers were very angry and took off the black masks on their faces.
"Stand still and die comfortably. My knife is sharp and you won't feel any pain."
"If you don't obey, you will be hacked to death."
The leader of the thieves raised his sword and sneered, and the thieves behind him followed suit and laughed ferociously, treating Feng He and his group as fat on the chopping board.
Feng He looked at Long Chen and said with a smile: "This business without capital is not that easy. We adults are in a good mood today. You can get out now, there is still a way to survive."
The bandits turned to look at Long Chen, who was holding a folding fan, and asked doubtfully: "Sir? What master?"
Feng He introduced with a smile: "Come, let me tell you, this is the famous King Wu of Zhou Dynasty."
"You are Xixia soldiers, don't you know each other?"
Long Chen didn't put on makeup today, he just went out without makeup.
If there are generals among these thieves, they might recognize Long Chen.
The thieves looked at Long Chen carefully and felt that he looked somewhat similar, but they had not seen Long Chen up close, so they were not sure.
"King Wu of Zhou Dynasty? Hahaha... This is the funniest thing I have ever heard."
"King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty swaggered through Guancheng and arrived here?"
The thieves did not believe Feng He's words.
Feng He was also a little helpless. He thought that if he mentioned Long Chen's name, these thieves would be scared to death.
Unexpectedly, these thieves didn't believe it, and Feng He's words were in vain.
"Sir, your old reputation seems... not very good."
Feng He smiled helplessly.
Long Chen was also unhappy. Not only did he fail to intimidate the other party by telling his name, but he was ridiculed instead. It was such a loss of value.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll kill you!"
Long Chen gave the order, and Feng He immediately drew his sword, and the Xichang spies behind him also took action.
The thieves did not expect that Feng He would suddenly take action, and immediately raised their swords to fight.
In a dozen breaths, all the thieves were killed.
Although the spies from Xichang are average in cultivation, they are more than capable of dealing with these thieves.
After wiping the blood on the knife, Feng He asked: "Sir, how should we deal with these corpses?"
Long Chen said: "Just drag it to the roadside and throw it away. Cover the blood stains with dust."
Xixia is already dry, especially in the hot summer weather. The blood stains on the ground will soon evaporate and dry up, and you only need to cover them with dust.
The spies immediately disposed of the body as instructed.
Feng He patted the thief's horse and said, "Sir, we killed the thief. When the Xixia soldiers saw that they did not return, they must send people to hunt them down. Should we leave separately?"
These thieves were ordered to come out to rob and kill, but if they didn't go back, Xixia would definitely send someone to investigate.
If we still proceed according to the original plan, we will definitely be overtaken and we will be in trouble.
"Let's separate. I'll go alone and you go with them."
"Let's meet at the inn in Xingqing City."
Feng He agreed with Long Chen's intention and immediately left. Long Chen chose a good horse and went to Xingqing City alone.
Feng He ordered the goods to be hidden, released the camels, and then rode on horseback to take a detour to Xingqing City.
Half a day after Long Chen left, a team of more than a hundred cavalry arrived at the scene.
An experienced veteran got off his horse, squatted on the ground, parted the dust, and saw the blood on the ground.
"Big Beard and the others are dead, their bodies should be nearby."
The veteran raised his head and said.
The leader immediately ordered a search.
Soon, the body was dug out.
"There's something wrong with that caravan. Their knife wounds are sharp. It looks like they are Lian Jiazi."
The veteran who examined the corpse immediately judged from the wounds that Long Chen was no ordinary business traveler.
"Boss, what should I do? So many people have died. It's hard to explain if I ask."
"That caravan was just a fat sheep, and it just ran away like that?"
"Big Beard is dead, we have to avenge them."
The soldiers under his command all clamored for revenge and wanted to hunt him down.
The leader shook his head slightly and said: "How to chase? They ran inside, do you know?"
"It's still reasonable for us to guerrilla for hundreds of miles nearby, but if we run too far, what will General Xiao do to explain?"
These people are Xiao Liang's subordinates, and Xiao Liang is very strict, so they don't dare to be too presumptuous.
"Then our death was in vain?"
The men were dissatisfied, but the leader shook his head and said: "Just consider it a failure and bury it."
The subordinates shouted one after another: "Boss, then we won't care if we die in the future?"
The leader angrily shouted: "Revenge? How to take revenge? If there are too few people, they will die, but if there are too many people, they will be discovered. What do you think we should do?"
All the dozen or so bearded people were killed, and no bodies on Long Chen's side were seen at the scene, which shows that the opponent is very strong.
If you want to take revenge, you have to send at least hundreds of people to be sure.
If there is less, it will be given away.
But if there are too many people dispatched, Xiao Liang will definitely find out, and it will be difficult to explain it when the time comes.
Xiao Liang explicitly banned the robbery of merchants and travelers, so this matter was not visible to the public.
The men didn't say anything, but they were still unconvinced and thinking about revenge.
"Let's go, bury the person and then go back!"
The leader rode on horseback and took some people to Guancheng.
Some of the remaining people buried the bodies in the yellow sand.
Looking at their brothers who didn't even have tombstones, hatred arose in these people's hearts.
"I still want to avenge Big Beard, who will go with me?"
asked a soldier with a scar on his face.
He and Big Beard had a good relationship, and he felt very sorry to see Big Beard die violently.
"I'll go."
"I'll go too."
"I want to avenge the bearded man."
All the soldiers who stayed to bury the corpses joined in, totaling more than twenty people.
"Okay, there are only a dozen or so people in that caravan. The bearded people just fought for a while, and they were seriously injured even if they didn't die."
"I don't believe that more than twenty people can't kill them, let's go!"
The man with the scar got on his horse and led the people to chase west.
At this time, the red sun was setting in the west, and the ground had been exposed to the sun for a day, and the hot evening wind was rising. The bandits were chasing the setting sun and running westward.
After Long Chen left, he rode his horse and galloped westward.
The weather was too hot, and the horses could not withstand long distance running, and their speed gradually slowed down.
Long Chen missed the villages and towns in order to get rid of the annoying bandit soldiers.
When it got dark, we ran to a Gobi desert.
The most troublesome thing for Xixia was finding water sources. Long Chen only brought a pot of water, and the war horses also needed to drink water.
Holding the war horse, Long Chen walked in the darkness for a long time.
The sand and stones on the ground gave off the gleam of rice grains, and the stars in the sky were like a canopy, covering the top of the head. Long Chen was walking on the Gobi Desert alone.
Being unfamiliar with the place, Long Chen couldn't find a source of water, so he simply found a rock wall to stay.
"There is no water to drink tonight, please bear with it."
Long Chen patted the war horse and lay down on the ground.
The Gobi Desert was hot during the day and cool at night. Long Chen picked up some dead branches, lit a bonfire, leaned against the rock wall and began to take a nap.
Rumble...
From the east, a group of cavalry rushed towards them, not very fast.
It looked like he was exhausted after running a long distance.
"Oh oh oh..."
The cavalry imitated the wolf howl and made an ooh sound.
It can be heard that these people are very excited.
