Horse thieves suddenly appeared in the north. Li Dajiao and Hu Shuisheng suddenly stood up, drew their swords and shouted: "Gather in a circle, and the crossbowmen are ready!"
The escorts from Jujintang and Sitong Shop immediately gathered together, camels were placed outside, and crossbowmen were ready to shoot arrows.
Li Dajiu kicked up the sand and extinguished the bonfire to prevent the horse thieves from seeing clearly and becoming a target.
Oh oh oh.
The horse thief made a sharp whistle and struck at night.
call out.
A wave of random arrows came, and Li Dajiao shouted: "Skin barrier."
The random arrows fell, and the people in front used poles to prop up the curtain made of animal skins. The random arrows penetrated the skin barrier, but their momentum was also blocked.
"shoot!"
The skin barrier fell down, and the crossbowmen fired arrows at the horse thieves. The horse thieves immediately dispersed from both sides and ran towards the man from the Western Region.
"They're finished."
Hu Shuisheng shook his head and sighed.
There are so many horse thieves, but there are only a few men from the Western Regions, and they don't seem to be experts.
When the horse thief rushed over, the old man immediately put out the bonfire. There were only sparse starlight in the sky, and the surroundings were dark. Hu Shuisheng could not see clearly.
Then there was a miserable sound of fighting. Hu Shuisheng and Li Dajiao ordered to guard the camp and not move rashly.
After half an hour, the sound disappeared, and there was dead silence.
Hu Shuisheng and Li Dajiao did not dare to be careless. They were always on guard and did not dare to light a bonfire.
When daybreak came, Li Dajiao and Hu Shuisheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The horse thief is gone."
"There's nothing there?"
The old bird rubbed his nose and said with some regret.
This trade road is the road of death. Old Birdou has traveled a lot and seen a lot. Dead people are too common.
But a group of living people just disappeared, and the old bird head was really sad.
The rabbit dies and the fox grieves, and things harm its own kind.
"They have too few people to resist the horse thieves."
"It was windy last night, and with the wind and sand in the desert, what traces could be left behind?"
Hu Shuisheng Weiwei
Sighing, he disliked the man from the Western Region for following him, but he was dead and felt a little sad.
He is not a born bad guy, he just has been around for a long time and is good at calculating.
"Let's go, this is life."
Li Dajiao shook his head and sighed.
The team from Jujintang and Sitong Shop slowly set off and continued to head west.
After not sleeping all night, everyone was very sleepy and couldn't walk very fast.
After walking for more than ten miles, I suddenly saw the man from the Western Regions walking with a slave from the Western Regions. They were confused and didn't know which direction to go.
"Brother Hu, Brother Hu."
Seeing Hu Shuisheng from a distance, the man from the Western Region ran over happily.
It can be seen that the man from the Western Region ran very hard, but he could not run fast.
"Not dead?"
The boy looked at the man from the Western Region in surprise, wondering how he survived last night.
When they arrived, the man from the Western Regions gestured excitedly: "Brother Hu, my woman is lost, can you help me find her?"
Hu Shuisheng asked his men to give the man from the Western Region some water.
The man from the Western Region took the water bag, drank it hard, and handed it to the slave behind him.
The slave did not dare to drink from the water bag, so he raised the water bag high, drank a little, and then returned it to the caravan.
"There's no need to look for you. In this desert, if you get separated, you'll die. Let's go."
The old bird shook his head sadly.
The man from the Western Regions was obviously unwilling to give up his woman. He took off the bag from his waist and held it in Hu Shuisheng's hand: "Brother Hu, these are the gold coins I earned in Dazhou. I will give them all to you. I just need to bring them back."
My woman."
The money bag was heavy, and Hu Shuisheng was surprised. There were at least hundreds of gold coins here.
He went on a business trip and didn't make half as much money as this.
"this."
Hu Shuisheng looked at Li Dajiao in embarrassment.
Li Dajiao secretly thought
:You got money, do you want me to help you find someone?
"The horse thief may not have gone far, and it is not safe to stay here."
"Also, your woman may have been robbed by horse thieves, or she may have been killed and buried in the yellow sand. How to find her?"
Li Dajiao was unwilling to help with this.
Hu Shuisheng thought for a while and reluctantly threw the money bag back.
"Master Li is right, we can't help you with this."
Li Dajiao was a little surprised that Hu Shuisheng was willing to return it?
"But I just want to get my woman back."
The eyes of the man from the Western Region were filled with sadness.
Li Dajiao said: "You can come with us. As for your woman, it depends on her fate."
After speaking, Li Dajiao continued to walk forward, and Hu Shuisheng said: "Follow me if you want to live."
The man from the Western Region followed the caravan and walked forward slowly.
The boy looked back from time to time, and the man from the Western Region followed silently with his slave, as if he had lost his soul.
"Brother Hu, that guy is still a lover. He has so many gold coins. It would be great to go back and marry another one."
Hu Shuisheng said nothing and continued walking forward.
After walking for two consecutive days, three figures suddenly appeared in front of them, two women wearing blouses, and an old man with blood on his body that had dried to death.
"my wife."
When the man from the Western Region saw him, he rolled over excitedly, speaking the language of Us.
Hu Shuisheng was surprised and said: "What a great fate."
Li Dajiao was also surprised that he was still alive and met after two days.
The man from the Western Region excitedly held the two women and talked for a long time, and kept saluting the old man.
Returning to the caravan, the man from the Western Regions said excitedly: "My wife is back. Your Zhou escorts are so good. They did not break their promises at the critical moment. You Zhou people have kept their word."
Li Dajiao and Hu Shuisheng looked at the old man and saw that his clothes and hair were dyed with blood. He must have gone through a fierce fight.
"May I ask what you call me, senior?"
Li Dajiao was startled and hurriedly came down to salute.
The old man glanced at Li Dajiao and said coldly: "Lengbao!"
Li Dajiao was suddenly startled: "It's actually Senior Leng Biao. I've heard of Senior's name for a long time, but I haven't seen him yet. I'm lucky enough to meet him here today. I'm rude to you."
Leng Biao is a mysterious escort in the world. It is said that he only accepts business that he is willing to accept.
Moreover, the price is extremely high!
"It turns out to be Senior Leng Biao. No wonder, this junior is disrespectful."
Hu Shuisheng also came down to pay homage.
The old man ignored him and just looked at the man from the Western Regions coldly.
"Great, great."
The man from the Western Region handed the money bag around his waist to the old man and said, "You saved my wife, I want to thank you."
Leng Biao was not happy and said coldly: "I have already received money, and I will not accept any more money. Don't ruin my reputation!"
Just this sentence made Li Dajiao and Hu Shuisheng stand in awe.
In this desert land, not to mention collecting money, even if you kill your employer and steal your money and sex, no one will know.
This senior Leng Biao is so trustworthy, he is truly a role model for our generation.
"Junior admires me!"
Li Dajiao couldn't help but salute.
The old man remained silent while the man from the Western Region opened the bag, grabbed a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into the hands of Hu Shuisheng and Li Dajiao.
"Brothers, I want to follow your caravan back to the country of Uz. Please do me a favor."
"This is a deposit. When you return to the country of Uz, my family will give you a more generous reward."
Being able to afford a cold escort means that this man from the Western Region is no ordinary person.
This time, Li Dajiao and Hu Shuisheng began to believe that he was from the Su Lun family again.
"You're welcome. We're all on the way. Let's go together."
Hu Shuisheng didn't pretend, and he collected the gold coins generously. Li Dajiao also collected the gold coins, and continued walking westward with the men from the Western Regions. The old man followed the team.
