Chapter 277 A friend comes from afar
"I'll give you a choice. Either follow me, or take these losers back to the Bachiman tribe." Yi Xifeng said calmly.
He could tell that this tall man with a golden ring had a gloomy mind and a reverse headband. He was definitely a person who rebelled against the master and devoured the master. However, this kind of person also had advantages. As long as the initiative was in Yi Xifeng's hands, it would be convenient for him.
will be used for oneself.
During this trip to the Western Region, there was no sect force to borrow, and Yi Xifeng could not expose his identity. After many considerations, the only option was to quickly form his own force.
Dallamt is already smart enough, and you can see this from the moment he allowed himself to follow the horse thieves. At the same time, he is also ruthless enough. When he sees that the situation between the enemy and us has been determined, he immediately lets go and rushes to kill, decisive and fierce. The most important thing is that he is smart enough.
One thing is that Dalamute is selfish enough. He has no fetters or constraints in his heart, let alone any tribal concepts or moral constraints. As long as this kind of person has obvious interests for him to see, then he is willing to do it.
Risk your life.
In Yi Xifeng's view, it is difficult to find a horse thief who behaves in such a "principal" manner, and he can be called a natural example of a "dog legger".
"Where do you plan to take me, sir?"
Dallamt slowly stood up with the golden ring sword in his hand. It must be said that he is indeed a guy who is very good at observing people's emotions. Ever since he realized that Yi Xifeng wanted to use him as a follower, he relaxed.
At the very least, your life is saved, then it’s time to negotiate the price.
"Loulan City."
Yi Xifeng looked up at the strong man who was more than a head taller than him and replied in a low voice.
"Sooner or later, Loulan City will be captured by the Demon Sect. We are just cannon fodder. That Lord... he must have some tricks up his sleeve."
Dalamt shook his head, obviously he thought that this mysterious woodcutter planned to join the Lord of Loulan City.
"Whether Loulan City can be captured or not, does this have anything to do with me?" Yi Xifeng asked in a funny tone.
"Well, what your lord means is..." Dalamt couldn't understand the other party.
“The muddier the water, the deeper it tends to be, and there must be big fish in it.”
After saying this, Yi Xifeng said nothing more. Dalamt was stunned for a long time, put away the golden ring sword in his hand, knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Dalamt, I am willing to follow you, sir."
.”
Yi Xifeng chuckled and said: "Don't call me adults, I'm not old, just call me young master. As for our external title, we are still woodcutter in the Western Regions!"
The sky was filled with wild sand. The tragic battle just now was soon submerged in the wind and sand. The dead horse thieves were also covered by the wind and sand. Only the woodcutter walking in the wild sand was left. Quietly, he was no longer alone, but
It became more than a dozen.
…
Lin Fenghuo and Qi Chengcheng couldn't help but look at each other as they heard the city guard coming to report. A glimmer of light flashed in their eyes at the same time.
A coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, a sword and a sword...
This outfit is not common in the Western Regions, but is more common in the Central Plains, but in their eyes it has an unusual meaning.
"Who could it be?" Qi Chengcheng couldn't bear it anymore and asked aloud.
Except for Lin Fenghuo, everyone present turned their attention to him.
"Master Qi, do you know the woodcutter?" Xiao Yuanfeng asked in surprise.
Wu Li on the side also widened his beautiful almond eyes and looked at Qi Chengcheng beside him.
Lin Fenghuo wanted to be calmer, shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure. It might be Lin Lei."
Hearing this answer, Qi Chengcheng couldn't help but curled his lips and muttered: "Isn't it a waste of excitement? I thought some of us had come to the Western Regions again. Lin Lei is such a petty person, he is always playful.
There is nothing manly about running away from home."
After the dispute that day, Lin Lei left Loulan City alone. Even though City Lord Xiao sent many city guards to search for him afterwards, there was no news at all.
Everyone knew that with Lin Lei's skills, unless he encountered a particularly difficult enemy, ordinary warriors in the world could not do anything to him. After all, Lin Lei had been practicing at Xiaoyuan Academy for five years, and he even studied under Liang Xinhuai, the leader of Xiaoyuan Academy.
His abilities are outstanding among his peers.
"Hey, Lin Lei, let him go, but the movements of the Eight Red Barbarians in the past few days are worthy of our attention." Lin Fenghuo did not discuss this topic too much. The threat of the horse thieves has not been completely eliminated at the moment.
"The City Guards came to report that they were gathering at Dajiaoping, thirty miles outside the city. It seems they want to fight us." Xiao Yuanfeng added in a deep voice.
"Dajiaoping?" Lin Fenghuo and Qi Chengcheng asked at the same time.
City Lord Xiao naturally knew that the two of them did not know much about the terrain around Loulan, so he explained. This "Dajiaoping" is a low valley and flat land, which can also be regarded as a strategic point. Basically, all the trade routes from the east will enter Loulan City.
Pass there.
This group of horse thieves gathered in Dajiaoping because they were sure that Loulan City would not let it go unchecked and would definitely send troops to fight.
Wu Li, who was sitting next to Qi Chengcheng and had been silent until now, suddenly asked: "These horse thieves are a little weird. Why do they want to start a decisive battle with us?"
The greatest threat of horse thieves is their super mobility. Especially the horse thieves in the Western Regions are familiar with and use sandstorms, which makes the city guards of most countries helpless. But once these horse thieves give up this mobility, they choose to fight in formation.
, then their real combat power will drop a lot.
The two sides set up their battle formations and began to fight. Even though the fighting quality of Loulan's city guards was far inferior to this group of horse thieves, based on a certain numerical advantage, the two sides could still fight.
Having said that, with such obvious advantages and disadvantages, everyone knows it, and the horse thieves know it even better! This is actually some shady conspiracy.
Just as everyone was contemplating what was going on, a city guard suddenly ran in from outside, came to the hall, knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands, saying: "Report to the city lord, there is someone outside asking to see you."
Xiao Yuanshan asked curiously: "Who wants to see you?"
The city guard replied: "That man calls himself a woodcutter from the Western Regions."
Qi Chengcheng raised his brows and said with a grin: "I just wanted to meet this man, but he came to the door myself. Then I will go and greet him."
Lin Fenghuo also left his seat, cupped his hands to Xiao Yuanfeng who was sitting at the top and said, "I'll go out and have a look too."
They knew in their hearts that this mysterious woodcutter, who appeared here dressed like a strong man from Yinren Town and took the initiative to come here, was definitely not Lin Lei. There was a high probability that he could be another acquaintance.
"Haha, how wonderful it is to have a friend come from afar! Let me welcome him with you."
