Chapter 1090: An Unextinguished Bonfire

By the time Shengheng arrived at the battle, it was already dark. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He dismounted, lit a bonfire, took out the dry food in his backpack, took a fork of a tree and put it on the fire, roasted it, ate it with cold water, and then laid out a blanket and slept.

Shengheng lay on his back with his face to the sky, took a piece of hay and chewed it in his mouth, and there was silence all around, but he was sleepy after a day's journey.

He remembered that when he sent his clansmen into the fiefdom today, the officials of Daqi had taken out an edict of filial piety and invited him to enter Luoyang to protect the country with peace of mind. Shengheng was noncommittal at first, but only asked about the resettlement of the clansmen, and then he called Asoto over to hand over to the officials of Daqi, telling them that in the future, all the affairs of the clansmen would be handed over to Asoto to be responsible.

As for himself, he will not enter the Great Qi, and just wants to continue to stay on the old site of Akabe for the rest of his life.

When the officials of Daqi heard him say this, they didn't seem too surprised, and only said that they would give Sheng Heng some more materials for the road. Shengheng decisively refused, saying that he was alone and in the prime of life, and he would definitely not be hungry, so he didn't need these things.

Seeing that Shengheng insisted on leaving, the officials of Daqi did not make much of a reservation. However, the clansmen reacted greatly, they didn't expect Shengheng to leave like this. Asoto, in particular, almost red-eyed, almost had to make a move. His idea is that even if he is forced to stay, he must also leave Shengheng.

Shengheng only felt that his heart was a little warmer after being cold for a long time, after all, at such a desperate time, there was still a person in this world who was so worried about his own safety. But at the same time, he wished that this person was not Asotto, but the person who had always kept it in his heart.

It's just that all this is an extravagant hope.

He didn't want to waste too much time on what to do, so he bluntly rejected Asoto, and even used his identity to suppress the clansmen, demanding that they enter the fiefdom as soon as possible. Later, everyone else left, and only Asto insisted that Shengheng go in with them.

Shengheng finally drew out his matching knives and was about to face Asoto's sword, but the clansmen were afraid that they would really fight, so they rushed over and dragged Asoto away.

In this way, the lonely Shengheng can finally embark on the journey home. But when the dust really settled, Shengheng did not find the peace of mind. During the day, you can deceive yourself, but in the dead of night, this feeling of worrying becomes stronger.

He was worried about the future days of the clan, but judging from today's situation, Daqi had made sufficient preparations in advance, set up tents in the fiefdom, and prepared sufficient water and food, so that the people of Chigu would have no problem spending this winter.

Considering that the Akatani people had to adapt to it for a while, Takaya made a special decree to exempt the Akatani people from paying taxes for three years, but did not exempt them from military service. However, it is also very good that it can allow the people to settle down, adapt to the new environment, and survive the difficult winter safely.

Shengheng's departure was not completely arbitrary, in fact, it was more for the sake of the clansmen. After all, he was once the Great Khan of the Red Valley, and if he still stayed in the Great Qi, then the Great Qi would always be wary of the Red Valley people, because in addition to listening to the Great Qi Emperor, they would also listen to their own Great Khan.

Two people who can call the shots, this is a situation that every strong person in power does not want to see. In order not to let the clansmen be affected by themselves, Shengheng resolutely left.

Another reason, of course, is that Yoon-yang has left.

After all, she was closest to her in Chigu, and if she stayed in Luoyang, Yunyang, who was in Hanyang Palace, would definitely be affected by gossip. Shengheng can disagree with it, but what about Yunyang? A concubine who has returned to Daqi, how does she deal with herself in various speculations?

Thinking of Yunyang, Shengheng's eyes became brighter and brighter when he looked at the starry sky, and Shengheng, who had chewed several sticks of hay, suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, he turned over and sat up, ready to get some water to drink.

Just as he was fetching water, he suddenly noticed a faint layer of dust and smoke near the hill under the moonlight.

It's obviously a bright moon, why is there dust and smoke? Although Shengheng has traveled on the Gobi many times, this is the first time he has seen this situation. But there was no sound around, and it was possible that the wind was going to rise in the middle of the night, so now the dust and smoke rose first.

Sheng Heng scolded secretly in his heart, it's really unlucky for people to stuff their teeth when they drink cold water! Originally, I couldn't do a good sweat, and the woman in my heart also went home to be a wife for others, and I rushed home alone, and I encountered a bad weather, and there was no place to reason!

Come on, I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well leave now. If you hurry a little more, you may have avoided this wave of storms!

So Shengheng packed up everything, got on his horse and walked forward.

Because he was in a hurry, and because the surroundings were so barren and there were no more flammable things, he didn't put out the bonfire. But he hadn't gone far when he heard the sound of the wind behind him. With experience, he immediately realized that this was no ordinary wind.

As soon as I turned around, I saw hundreds of arrows with gunpowder flying like raindrops, and the target was the same place where I had just lit the bonfire!

Because this kind of arrow carries gunpowder, not only is it extremely fast and cannot dodge, but it will also have a terrible explosion after falling, so many arrows are shot over, I am afraid that a radius of ten zhang near the bonfire will be blown up and fall a foot.

If Shengheng had fallen asleep near the campfire now, he would have been a piece of shards by now!

With a gasp, Shengheng didn't dare to turn back, and accelerated his speed and rode forward. At this time, it is no longer the first place to be entangled in who wants your life, the most important thing now is to escape!

Even if he doesn't look back now, he can guess a thing or two about what will happen next behind him, and after the first wave of attacks, there will definitely be a team of skilled people who will touch over and inspect the dusty scene of the rocket explosion just now, and see if they can find the bones of some people.

If they don't find it, then they will soon be tracked by the horseshoe prints left by Shengheng, so Shengheng can't stop for a moment now, and must flee as fast as possible!

Sure enough, about an hour after he ran out, dust and smoke gradually rose up in the wilderness behind him and beside him.

"What kind of horses do these people use? They caught up with me in such a short period of time, could it be that these horses came from Dashi? Sheng Heng glanced at the dust and smoke that were becoming more and more obvious, gritted his teeth, and his face was ugly. You must know that the horse used by Shengheng is one of the best BMW horses in northern Xinjiang, and there is no second possibility for those who have run this kind of horse except for the BMW from Dashi.
