Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Trip to the Western Regions (2)
Mu Chai suddenly cried and called Peng Yisheng for help, but he was really startled, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me what the hell is going on." ”
Mu Chai choked up and recounted what had happened. A month ago, it was the time of the year to transport the goods of the tribe to Xijing for the exchange of things, the goods were ready, the people were ready, and they were waiting to go. Who would have thought that on the first night of departure, something big would happen in the tribe.
The patriarch died suddenly, and it was said that he had a violent illness. This sudden accident forced the beggar to put down his trip to Xijing, but this was only the beginning of the disaster.
Begging back's uncle Wuyan has always wanted to be the patriarch, but Begging's father is still there, so he doesn't dare to take any action, because he hides it well, it has never aroused everyone's suspicion. This time, the patriarch died suddenly, and everyone was unprepared, so Wu Yan quickly gathered his subordinates and controlled the elders in the tribe who opposed him. Begging back as the heir to the patriarch was, of course, the first to bear the brunt, and he was imprisoned. Wu Yan said that he would kill Qi Hui on the day he became the patriarch.
When Mu Chai heard about it, he hurriedly led people to the rescue, but he didn't think that he was beaten by Wuyan, who had been prepared, and Mu Chai finally escaped with only twenty or thirty people.
In desperation, he thought of Peng Yisheng in Xijing, and Mu Chai also knew that even if he found Peng Yisheng, it might not be useful, but he really couldn't think of a way now, so he could only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Now he doesn't want to let Begging back fight for the position of the patriarch again, he just wants to save Begging back's life, thank God.
Knowing the current situation of begging back, Peng Yisheng immediately rushed to the Ula Department overnight with Muchai and them.
Mu Chai asked his men to free up two horses for Peng Yisheng and them, and asked the caravan for some food, and finding water was not a problem for Mu Chai who lived in this environment all year round.
The ten-day journey took only four days under the leadership of Mu Chai.
Urabu, one of the oldest tribes in the Western Regions, is located in the most central location of the Western Regions. Due to the recent upheavals, the guards of the Urabu are much tighter than usual, and samurai patrolling can be seen everywhere.
Wu Yan's heart was a little anxious, he had coveted the position of the patriarch for a long time, and this time he could finally get his wish, but Mu Chai who begged back fled. Although the elders in the tribe who are begging back have been controlled, there are still many of them that they don't know, although these people can't afford to make big waves, but it's always a hidden danger, tomorrow is a good day for themselves to be the patriarch, if Mu Chai comes to make trouble, it's not good. For this reason, thousands of men have been sent to pursue them, but the news has come that Muchai has fled into the desert. Twenty or thirty people hiding in the desert are like a needle thrown into the sea, and the hope of finding them is too slim to send a few hundred people in to try their luck. Regardless of whether you can catch Muchai or not, as long as you don't let him make trouble, as long as you can successfully become the head of the clan, getting rid of Muchai is almost like stepping on an ant.
Many things are like this, the more I think about it, the more annoyed I feel, the more annoyed I think, the more annoyed I become, the more annoyed I am in my heart, Wu Yan's mood is like this now, but one of his henchmen ran in a hurry and almost hit Wu Yan. Wu Yan said angrily: "Don't you know if you come in and report it first?"
"Patriarch...... Patriarch ......"
Wu Yan said: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Muchai...... Muchai caught it!"
Wu Yan couldn't believe it, and said, "Who caught it?"
"Muchai. ”
Wu Yan said: "Where did you catch it? When did you catch it?"
"Muchai has been in the desert these days, and when he went in, he didn't bring anything, and when it was dark, he tried to come out to find something to eat, and was caught by our samurai. ”
Wu Yan said: "Where is Mu Chai?"
"I have been escorted overnight and are waiting outside the account. ”
Wu Yan said: "Take me to see." "When I came to the outside of the account, a group of people were sitting on the ground, there were twenty or thirty people, each of them with their hands tied behind their backs, and they all looked weak, apparently they had not eaten anything for many days. "Take them all down, and lock them up with the beggars, and tomorrow I will use their blood to celebrate my appointment as the patriarch. ”
Although Mu Chai hadn't eaten for a few days, the blood was still there, and he scolded: "Wuyan, you will get retribution for doing this, and God will definitely not let you go!"
Wu Yan smiled: "You don't even have the strength to speak now, what do you want? Tomorrow I will beg to see me become the head of the clan with my own eyes, and then use your head to sacrifice the flag!"
Mu Chai was taken to the place where he was imprisoned, which was an open field, surrounded by wooden stakes several feet high, with nothing on top, exposed to the scorching sun during the day and the cold wind blowing fiercely at night, which was the way the Western Regions treated death row prisoners. The Western Regions are mostly nomads, and this is especially true of the Urabu, so even the place where the patriarch lives is a tent, but the furnishings in the tent are much more luxurious than in other tents.
Whoever the nomads captured was either immediately executed or turned into slaves, so there was no such place as a prison to hold people. The place where he is staying is still built overnight at the behest of Wu Yan, because it is rare that a person who will be executed will be held for nearly a month.
In this kind of environment where it is like steaming on a steamer during the day, but at night it seems to be soaked in ice water for nearly a month, Qihui has long been gone, if it weren't for the fact that he could use him as a blood sacrifice when he became the patriarch, Qihui would have already died, so Wuyan invited the best wizard in the clan to treat him, which made Qihui still breathe until now.
When Muchai saw the dying beggar return, he ran over and hugged him crying.
Beggar Hui opened his eyes with a line and asked, "Who are you?"
Mu Chai: "Begging back, I'm Mu Chai." "In front of outsiders, they are masters and servants, and in private they are called brothers and call them by their first names.
The beggar replied, "Didn't you already run away? ”
Mu Chai told him about the circumstances of his arrest.
Begging back smiled bitterly: "It seems that we only have to go to the underworld to be brothers." ”
Mu guessed that the warriors guarding around him had walked away, and said softly: "Begging back, open your eyes and see who I brought here." ”
Begging back used all his strength to open his eyes wide, looked at the person in front of him, shook his head, rubbed his eyes with his hands again, looked at it carefully, and opened his mouth wide in surprise and wanted to shout.
The person in front of him hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Brother, I'm Peng Yisheng." ”
Beggar nodded lightly before Peng Yisheng let go of his hand and said, "Big brother, why are you here?"
Peng Yisheng said: "I originally came to ask you for help, and I heard about you on the road, so I came a few days early." ”
The beggar replied: "It's useless for you to come, now there are people everywhere with black faces, and you just came to take one more life." ”
Peng Yisheng said: "Second brother, look at who I brought to you." ”
The beggar looked back at the young man in front of him and asked, "Who is he?"
Peng Yisheng said: "He is the Liu Yun I told you before. ”
Begging back excitedly: "You are Yun Harrier Liu Yun?"
Liu Yun said: "It's exactly below." ”
Peng Yisheng said: "As long as Liu Yun is here, he will definitely be able to rescue you." ”
The beggar replied: "I have heard of your name for a long time, and this time my life depends on Liu Daxia." ”
Liu Yun said: "Liu will definitely do his best to rescue you." ”
Peng Yisheng said: "We only have these people, and it's not easy to escape." ”
Liu Yundao: "Who said we were going to escape?"
Peng Yisheng said: 'If you don't escape, will you just wait here for death?'
Liu Yun said: "Not only do you not escape, you still have to wait here, but you don't wait for death." ”
Peng Yisheng said: "You don't wait with us?"
Liu Yundao: "You and Muchai don't have to wait here. ”
Mu guessed: "Where can we go if we are not here?"
Liu Yun said: "You can go wherever you want." ”
"Where do you want to go?"
"How many people do I want you to take us to?"
"Who's going to do what?"
"Of course, it's someone who can surprise us and let them save the beggar's life. ”
"But now we're locked up here?"
"You can be locked up here, but you can't be locked up Liu Yun and me, we want to go out, it's as convenient as going out for a walk, we can go out whenever we want. ”
Not to mention a few stumps without a roof, even if they have a roof, it is useless. A place a few feet high is insurmountable for ordinary people, but it is not a matter at all for people in the martial arts, I saw Liu Yun and them jumped lightly, and they reached the middle of the stump, and then slapped the stump with their palms, and the people stood on the top of the stump, and the three of them quickly disappeared in the night.
