When the black powder was detonated that day, Li Mu hid behind a boulder. He thought it would be fine, but he didn't expect that the black powder produced by this system was as powerful as TNT. The shock wave directly broke the boulder.
He was knocked unconscious under the gravel and lost consciousness. He was in a coma for a long time before waking up.
This is also thanks to his 'magic body protection', otherwise his life would have been lost long ago due to such a huge shock wave.
After figuring out the direction, Li Mu was about to rush to the direction of Dingxiang. Suddenly he hesitated and did not go to the direction of Dingxiang. Instead, he sneaked back to the Camel Valley.
At this time, the Camel Valley was in chaos. All the backbones had died tragically, and the warriors had also been wiped out. Only a few old, young, women and children were left, but they were also killing each other.
Some members of the Jin clan who did not have time to run away were chased and killed by the Yin clan who were madly retaliating. The Tong and Iron clans also suffered disasters. Someone came out to start a fight and immediately became the target of public criticism. There was blood everywhere, and people
Shout the horse.
When Li Mu came to Camel Valley, he had never met ordinary people, especially the ones who were still disgraced now. They were almost as few as these "refugees" who were also disgraced. Besides, at this moment, no one had the energy to pay attention to him.
Li Mu originally wanted to find a place to beg for a drink of water, but his throat was about to smoke. But looking at the situation, it seemed that no one would care. But that's okay, this is an oasis in the desert, and there are wells everywhere. In the past, merchants walked
The supply here requires exchange to get water, but now that no one is taking care of it, Li Mu casually walked to a place to get water, picked up a ladle and drank.
Just when I was drinking vigorously, suddenly a roaring, thunderous sound came over me, and I saw smoke and dust rising from the west. I looked over and saw how many people and horses there were.
The Western Turks have arrived.
Li Mu squinted his eyes and looked at these Western Turkic cavalry. He had to admit that they were indeed different. Although the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were also powerful, they felt like 'paladins' with too many rules and regulations, from top to bottom.
, and the order prohibits it. I can’t say that this is bad, but it lacks a bit of aura.
The cavalry of the Western Turks have the unique feeling of nomads. For the Han people, horseback riding and archery are skills they only learn to fight the enemy, but for them, it is as necessary as eating and drinking.
Skills. One is acquired points, and the other is innate talent. They are different in the end. Li Mu has also seen the cavalry of the East Turks. They really feel that they have the same clan and ancestors. However, the cavalry of the East Turks obviously give people a feeling of decline.
It looks like a hero in his twilight years, not as crisp and agile as the Western Turkic cavalry.
"Such a good cavalry can't be owned by our Tang Dynasty, tsk tsk -" Li Mu curled his lips. He turned slightly sideways, and the cavalry passed by him, rushing straight to the small square in the center of the Camel Valley. After stopping, he took the lead
One of the people turned around and said, "What's going on? No one came out to pick me up. What's going on?"
This man had a Turkic appearance, but he could speak Chinese, and he spoke it very well. But unfortunately, although the people who heard him understood what he said, no one paid attention to him. When this man saw this,
He shouted loudly, raised his whip, and immediately a knight galloped out on horseback. Soon, a citizen of Camel Valley was plundered.
When the people saw the Turks, they were as frightened as chaff, but the person who just spoke was still kind and said: "This old man, I am Ashina Zepi, the pioneer general of the West Turks. What happened here? Silver Sacrifice
Where now?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into tears: "They're dead, they're all dead, they're all dead!"
Zepi frowned and said, "The Tang Dynasty's army has already attacked here?"
"It's not the army of the Tang Dynasty, it's divine punishment!" The old man stared. As a loyal Zoroastrian believer, the old man firmly believed in the theory of gods and ghosts. It was night when the explosion occurred, and everyone who was close to it died.
From the perspective of people from a distance, doesn’t it sound like ‘a thunder on the ground’?
It's not cloudy or raining. There's a dull thunder followed by lightning, and then everyone becomes scum. If it's not divine punishment, how can we explain it?
The old man explained everything he saw in detail, but Zepi was completely confused. Gunpowder had never appeared before, and the old man's vivid description made it confusing.
Zepi, who believed in the 'Eternal Life', also began to feel that this was divine punishment.
He frowned and asked: "With two thunders, the mountain collapsed? The pass was completely blocked?"
The old man nodded his head and said: "Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong."
Zepi still couldn't believe it. He glanced at the knight beside him, and the warrior flew out to find out what was going on.
Zepi looked at the chaotic situation around him again and shouted: "Listen, everyone, we are Western Turks and we are going to cross the valley to fight against the Tang Dynasty. You are now returning home and cooking for us. Half an hour has passed.
, those who are still fighting, those who have no food at home, don’t blame them for being ruthless with the sword!"
He shouted three times and then stopped talking. He had already said what he said, and he would naturally not get used to people who didn't do it.
Suddenly, Zepi's peripheral vision caught sight of Li Mu and said, "You sneaky guy over there, come here!"
Li Mu looked back, pointed at himself, and Zepi said: "Yes, it's you! You are also a local, right? Do you know who else can take care of things here?"
Li Mu shook his head and pointed at his throat: "Ah, ah——"
Zepi frowned and said, "Are you mute?"
Li Mu nodded: "Ah, ah!"
Zepi smiled and said: "It seems that he is someone who can listen but not speak. It just so happens that I need such a person by my side. You can feed my horses from now on. It will also be considered as giving you a living. It is impossible here."
, are you willing?"
Li Mu thought to himself, "What a thief, I am the great Tang Dynasty Zhuluhou, you want me to feed your horses?"
Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly thought that he was pretending to be mute, and he felt helpless. What was he thinking just now? He actually thought of pretending to be mute. Didn't he pretend to be dumb?
Then he thought again, he seemed to have nowhere to go now, and these Turkic cavalry must be heading to Dingxiang, so why not follow them? Anyway, when he wants to leave, with his current skills, they can't stop him.
Liveable.
Thinking of this, Li Mu nodded happily, and Zepi also smiled. He took off a wine bag from the horse's back and threw it to Li Mu: "I reward you. The horse is well fed and I also give you dried meat to eat."
"I wonder?" Li Mu cursed in his heart, but looked grateful on his face. Zepi was very impressed. He waved his hand, and the cavalry dispersed in twos and threes, and went to the people's homes to wait for them to cook for them.
