The messenger beside Kong Peng sent the order and rode his horse to the next horse thief's camp, while Fan Dachun stared at Chen Hai in surprise and suspicion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fan Dachun was not so stupid, and at this time, he really couldn't tell what Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er were intending to.

Counting the time, if they set off to Yequ Mountain at this time, when tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Montenegrin coalition army arrived at Yequ Mountain, the soldiers and horses of Hexi would just be able to occupy the stone city of Yequ Mountain first--Fan Dachun couldn't help but wonder if all this was deliberately arranged by Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er.

"Dong Jia Nizi really wants to flee to Yequ Mountain, that's really good to give us a chance to surround and send reinforcements," Ning Chan'er also walked out of the camp tent at this time, seeing Fan Dachun's face full of surprise, she pouted and smiled, "Could it be that the second master thinks that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will surround Yequ Mountain, and the county lord of Yuecheng can still fly without wings?"

At this time, Han Wendang and other leaders heard the movement, and they all walked in, and the questions in Fan Dachun's heart were inconvenient to ask, but they just wanted everyone to get ready immediately, and rush to Yequ Mountain with the army at any time to surround and capture the county lord of Yuecheng, it was obvious that Kong Peng and other thieves had given up the previous controversy, and decided to capture or besiege the county lord of Yuecheng first, and then consider the matter of reinforcements from the Xiqiang Kingdom.

Once the decision was made, the horse thieves acted quickly, and they were not in a hurry to pack up their tents and other things when they were discarded in the meadows, and they carried dry food, dried meat, knives, bows and arrows with them, and when they were hungry and thirsty, they also had mare's milk to satisfy their hunger, and they led the horses into the vast night and galloped quickly into the distance.

Fan Dachun didn't have the intention of fighting for merit at this time, and no one came to urge, so the more than 400 horse thieves in Yequ Mountain dragged out until the end, and before they went out of more than 100 miles, the sky was already bright.

At this time, there was some deviation from the route, Fan Dachun ordered everyone to get off the horse and rest for a while, he also found a stone to sit down and eat the dried meat, and he was ready to adjust the direction after resting and catch up with the large army.

Chen Hai weighed the Eagle Demon Iron Card, sat down next to Fan Dachun, and said with a smile: "Second master, you said that even if the Black Mountain Coalition Army captures the county lord of Yuecheng, will we be able to eat meat or drink soup?"

Han Wendang and the other horse thief leaders were scattered around the left, and they didn't know what kind of ghost idea Chen Hai had come up with at this time, so they all surrounded him.

The thieves hated and feared Ning Chan'er, but for Chen Hai, who was also "controlled" by Ning Chan'er, they had a sense of sympathy for each other, and came around and said: "You can't eat meat, you can always get a share of the soup." ”

Ning Chan'er's vision fell on the eagle demon iron card in Chen Hai's hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she guessed that Chen Hai couldn't do nothing, and she really rushed to Yequ Mountain to improvise, she smiled charmingly, but she didn't pierce Chen Hai's mind.

"Three masters, what do you want to do?" Fan Dachun was full of vigilance against Chen Hai at this time, and hesitantly stared at the Eagle Demon Token in Chen Hai's hand.

"We rushed to Yequ Mountain, even if we could drink soup, it was very limited," Chen Hai said with a smile, "But the second master thinks that the treasure that Kong Peng left in Montenegro is enough for the brothers to eat?"

"......" Fan Dachun was so frightened when he heard Chen Hai's words that he almost jumped up, but he didn't expect Chen Hai to be the idea of beating the Black Mountain Kou's lair, "You are crazy, do you know how many soldiers and horses Kong Peng still has in Montenegro? With our manpower, how can we capture Black Mountain City?"

"Kong Peng has left 2,000 soldiers and horses in Montenegro, but Kong Peng is eager to succeed this time, the elite has been exhausted, and the remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses are either old and weak or sick and disabled, so there is nothing to be afraid of," Chen Hai said, "Besides, with this token in our hands, do we need to storm Montenegro City?"

"Black Mountain is 1,7800 miles away from here, Kong Peng found that we didn't keep up, and the news of the Green Scale Eagle will definitely not give us a chance to sneak attack. Fan Dachun shook his head, not thinking that Chen Hai's crazy idea was a good idea.

"Kong Peng didn't take the second master in his eyes at all last night, and even the second master thought my idea was too crazy, even if Kong Peng and they found out that we didn't keep up, they would never have thought that we were going to his lair," Chen Hai said with a smile, "Even if there is a guard on the side of Montenegro, we can't pat our butts and leave, don't stay here in Xiqiang Country, go west or north to find water and grass to live, is it possible that the second master still has something to worry about in Yequ Mountain?"

"......" Hearing Chen Hai say this, Fan Dachun was also stunned, only to think that the belongings he had accumulated in Yequ Mountain before had been distributed to slaves by Chen Hai in advance, even if the Montenegrin coalition captured the lord of Yuecheng, it would be a difficult situation in the future, and he couldn't think of anything to refute Chen Hai at this time.

Han Wendang and other thieves, all of them are bold and bold masters, although they all know that Kong Peng is not easy to mess with, but at this time, there is a faint excitement that cannot be concealed.

Yes, they all dare to rob the bride of the Xiqiang Kingdom and the lady of the sky who robbed the Dong clan in Hexi, why should they be afraid of the Black Mountain Kou, no matter if they succeed or not, they will go away and fly high, why don't they have the opportunity to do a big vote?

Although Fan Dachun Yu Wei was still there, at this time, everyone's lives were in Ning Chan'er's hands, and everyone couldn't hide their excitement to look at Ning Chan'er, waiting for the "big boss" to come up with an idea.

"Go to Montenegro," Ning Chan'er waved the horse whip in her hand, licked her red lips excitedly, and said, "That's interesting!"

***************************

Ran Hu knew that there were horse thieves gathering in Songyang Lake, so they immediately stopped going to avoid crashing into the net laid by the horse thieves.

The camp built in the Crescent Lake Oasis twenty-three years ago has been destroyed several times, and it has long been dilapidated, and it is not enough to defend it, so it is necessary to either immediately flee east and withdraw to Tieliuling, or can only find a strong stronghold nearby to defend and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

When he set out from Hexi, Ran Hu had studied the horse thief forces in the depths of the desert on the northern flank of the Xiqiang Ancient Road, and knew that there was a group of horse thieves entrenched in Yequ Mountain, with three or four hundred soldiers and horses, and the stone village in Yequ Mountain was quite strong enough to hold on for a period of time.

The situation in front of them is very clear, if the horse thieves of Yequ Mountain are involved in this matter, the elite soldiers and horses should have gathered at Songyang Lake, and Yequ Mountain may only leave a small number of soldiers and horses to defend, and they will have the opportunity to storm Yequ Mountain, and then use the Yequ Mountain Stone Village to defend against the Kou.

And if the Yequ Mountain horse thieves didn't participate in this matter, then they didn't want to provoke the Xiqiang Kingdom and Hexi, then they might even be able to persuade the Yequ Mountain horse thieves to take them in and jointly resist the Kou, and it was a big deal to give Yequ Mountain enough rewards afterwards.

However, when Ran Hu and the others arrived at Yequ Mountain, they found that the situation in Yequ Mountain was completely different from what they had guessed, and the horse thieves in Yequ Mountain had actually come out of their nest three days ago and handed over the stone city to a group of newly released slaves to guard.

Although these slaves divided the grain, fields and livestock, the joy and excitement have not passed, but this is far from enough to cultivate enough loyalty to the horse thief, seeing Ran Hu lead his troops to escort Dong Ning, the bride of the Xiqiang Kingdom, to Yequ Mountain, they all happily opened the gate of the village and welcomed Ran Hu and them into the stone city.

Ran Hu and the others inexplicably occupied the stone city of Yequ Mountain, and there were even more than 2,000 slaves waiting for them to repel the horse thieves, waiting to escort them back to their hometown, or really distribute the fields of Yequ Mountain to them to settle here.

Dong Ning, as the daughter of the Dong family, will marry the young monarch of the Xiqiang Kingdom as his wife, and he has a dual identity at this time.

The slaves of Yequ Mountain are either herdsmen and cultivators from the Xiqiang Kingdom, or merchants from the Xiqiang Kingdom or Yanzhou, and they identify with Dong Ning's dual identity the most.

The dozen or so officials who were selected by Chen Hai to temporarily manage the stone city of Yequ Mountain, when they saw Dong Ning, they were all excited when they knelt on the ground, and they couldn't wait to tell Dong Ning about their suffering of being robbed to Yequ Mountain all these years.

Dong Ning and Ran Hu asked Yequ Mountain why it looked like this, and these dozen people couldn't wait to describe the strange things that had happened in the past few days and the appearance of Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er to them.

"Chen Hai has already arrived at Yequ Mountain two days early?"

These days, everyone is guessing where Chen Hai went after leaving Qintong Mountain, and listening to the slaves of Yequ Mountain depicting the appearance of the newly recruited three masters, how could they not guess him?

Besides, Chen Hai's pseudonym in Yequ Mountain is "Yao Xing", although Ran Hu and the others can't guess Ning Chan'er's identity, they also know that they can take over Yequ Mountain Stone City so easily today, and they must have a great deal to do with Chen Hai.

Seeing Dong Ning standing at the head of the city like thunderbolt looking at the sand sea in the distance, as if he wanted to find the trace of Chen Hai Shenlong from the depths of the vast sand sea, Ran Hu's resentment towards Chen Hai was still difficult to completely eliminate, and said hatefully: "Since he already knew that there were a large number of horse thieves who wanted to be unfavorable to us, why did he show up early to persuade us to return to Hexi, and he had to make a trick here! Could it be that he really wanted the county lord to marry into the Xiqiang Kingdom?"

Ran Hu still didn't want Dong Ning to marry into the Xiqiang Kingdom in his heart, but he didn't know who could stop this at this time.

Dong Ning was in a complicated mood and struggling, his lips trembled slightly, he didn't know what to say for a long time, he turned into a wordless sigh, and just turned his back to Ran Hu and said, "You go and prepare for the city defense, the horse thief will come soon." ”

And after Ran Hu left, Dong Ning turned around, and several tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably, thinking to himself, could it be that he had already decided not to see him if he had to marry into the Xiqiang Kingdom? Could it be that he did this just to repay the news from Meiwu Fort?

It's just that at this time, Dong Ning didn't have time to be too sad, the large number of horse thieves gathered must be coming at her, she couldn't stay in the hands of the thieves to guard the humiliation, and she couldn't watch the hundreds of generals who escorted her westward all die in a foreign land, she couldn't go home to reunite with his wife and children, she needed to cheer up, and the responsibility she should bear must not be easily pushed on Ran Hu and them.

Although the vast majority of the more than 2,000 slaves were skinny and weak, they had only eaten a full meal for two days, and it was impossible for them to be strong and strong immediately, but they also provided indispensable manpower for the defense of the city, and the limited strength of Ran Hu's men could be concentrated and used.

A large group of horse thieves only swarmed like locusts a day later, but by this time Ran Hu and the others had already prepared for defense in Stone City.

Ran Hu cut down the few thousand poplar trees on the shores of the lake and either piled them up and burned them, or dragged them into the stone city to ensure that the horse thieves could not make siege equipment from local materials outside the city, and also organized the slaves to build some rudimentary defensive equipment.

At this time, although Fan Dachun and the others did not follow, the horse thieves did not realize how serious the problem was, after all, in the minds of the thieves, Fan Dachun was a sneaky and slippery guy, deliberately dragging his feet behind and not keeping up in time, maybe he didn't want to send his soldiers and horses to participate in the siege of the city with tragic casualties......
