Chapter Seventy-Two: Dead Together
"How can there be a Xue family army here?"
The third brother is a well-informed person, he looked at the white Xue character on a black chess piece, although he was illiterate, but this iconic black background and white flag was the symbol of the Xue family outside Tianliu Mountain, so he immediately recognized who the cavalry was.
Qiong'er also saw the flag, but she recognized the word Xue, but she didn't want to see this person, so she lowered her head and whispered in horror, "Oh no, he also wants to arrest the prince!" Doesn't the eldest princess really want us to leave? ā
The man pinched the soft flesh of the dome vigorously, "You'd better not lie to me, or I'll kill your little lover!" ā
Qiong'er sizzled in pain, "Let's get out of the way!" When they're gone, we'll go get the treasure!" ā
This Jian yƬ won the trust of the chief, commanded his men, and gave way to one side.
I don't know why that team of more than 100 people is here, especially since they have no intention of going over. Because after the team had passed, they suddenly turned around and stopped the dozen or so people.
The third brother was stiff, and he didn't know what the Xue family army was going to do, so he could only honestly wait for the team to approach, and the long knife on the side of the camel in his hand was ready to move at any time.
The sand thieves under him were all nervous, the weapons in their hands were tightly grasped, and they glanced at the gesture on the third brother's hand, blinked and held their bodies still.
"Who are you? Where to go? ā
A familiar voice sounded, Qiong'er's body couldn't help shaking, lowered her eyes and leaned into the arms of the third brother, making the man stunned, this woman is very afraid of the general? It seems that he is really afraid of being arrested, so he can't help but be more cautious.
"This general, my brothers went to the other side of the mountain to buy supplies!" Politely clenched his fists, and by the way, he covered the woman in his arms, and he didn't want to get into trouble.
Xue Heizi received the news that more than 2,000 horsemen from the north had gone winter hunting, because he married the princess of Loulan, so he was now regarded as his own by the defenders of Loulan, and Loulan asked him to come in to patrol, but he didn't want to participate in Loulan's affairs.
Beibi came to hunt for winter every year, and every time it ended miserably because he lost his way in the desert, not to mention that only two thousand cavalry was nothing at all, so he was not worried about what damage these Beibi cavalry could do to Loulan.
However, he was worried that these northern cavalry ran to the vicinity of Tianliu Mountain to rob in the name of hunting Loulan in winter. After all, the thirteen Lang of their Xue family were all thrown here like this back then, and at that time, who knows how they survived the hurricane of Tianliu Mountain and actually hit in.
So every day he took a troop of cavalry into the desert to inspect it, and if there were people who were unknown, like the dozen or so camels in front of him, they didn't look like serious businessmen, so he stopped them and asked them what they were doing.
The eyes swept over the camel, and the man on the camel seemed to have a woman hidden in his arms, and although the man on the back camel was wearing a huge cloak, the camel had an extra pair of feet hanging down from the side, and these people were equipped with weapons on their camels, and they looked more like sand thieves than merchants.
Xue Heizi's hand gestured, "Get off the camel and search!" ā
The third brother's face changed, and his nervous voice rose slightly, "What does the general want to search?" ā
Xue Heizi stared at him coldly, his hand already holding the spear on his side, "What do you guys can't search?" ā
The sand thieves looked at the Moon Dynasty cavalry who were about to surround them, their faces were flustered, and they began to pull back the ropes of their camels. The leader knew that there was no escape today, and that the sand thieves had the rules of sand thieves, and they could not offend the officers and soldiers of any place, otherwise they would not be able to get out of the desert in the future.
Suddenly pushed the dome to the ground, turned around and signaled to the other person to do the same, and then clasped his fists with both hands, "The general will let a few brothers live, and we will also give the general a big gift!" ā
Xue Heizi frowned, looked at the two people on the ground, and was just about to speak, when he heard the woman on the ground pounce on the man on the ground and cry, "Ah! Husband, are you alright? ā
"Husband, don't scare me! Help, General! These people are sand thieves, they robbed our family, killed all of us, and threatened my father with my husband! Brute, my An clan will definitely not let you go! ā
A series of wails and the bloodstained tragic scene of the two people on the ground pierced Xue Heizi's eyes, interrupting the words of the third brother who was just about to wait for the price to sell, and also provoked the anger of the cavalry of the Moon Dynasty. More than 100 people separated them from the two people on the ground in a cage, and cut them down without even letting them speak.
The sand thieves screamed and wailed and resisted, and in a blink of an eye, only the third brother was left, and he suddenly shouted loudly, "Those two are the prince and lover of Beibei!" ā
It's just that it seems to be a little late, and he was pierced through the chest by a gun, looking at the black-faced general, spitting blood, "The Third Prince of Beipi"
Xue Heizi looked at the corpse that fell to the ground, and suddenly reacted to what this guy just said to give him a big gift, and shouted, "Catch those two!" ā
More than 100 people focused on the dozen or so sand thieves, no one paid attention to the two seriously injured people, and when they scattered the circle and looked again, there was no one on the ground, and a cavalry shouted loudly, "General, they are riding camels and running to Tianliu Mountain!" ā
Xue Heizi stared at the small black dot in front of him, "Catch me alive!" ā
More than 100 war horses galloped in the desert, raising a cloud of sand and dust.
Qiong'er just took advantage of Xue Heizi's efforts to lead people to strangle the sand thieves, and secretly led the camel when they fled, and ran away desperately.
As long as they enter the mountain, they are safe!
The sound of horses' hooves behind them was getting closer and closer, and Qiong'er looked back in surprise, and if they continued like this, they were caught by these people before they could go up the mountain.
What to do?
What to do?
"Leave me!" Yue Jinsheng muttered in Qiong'er's ear in a daze, his whole body became heavier and heavier, obviously the camel's bumpy run had cracked the temporarily stopped blood in his body, "You go!" ā
Listening to this guy's words, Qiong'er, who had a hard time making a choice in her heart, held back the tears in her eyes, "Don't worry, I promised your mother that I won't leave you!" After speaking, he looked at the cavalry close at hand, gritted his teeth, and led the camel up the road of Tianliu Mountain.
Xue Heizi led more than 100 horses to stop at the entrance of the road, frowned and looked at the camels and rushed over, these two people are crazy? Or do they not know that this hurricane road simply cannot be walked?
In a moment, as if to confirm his thoughts, thin threads like needles descended from the horizon, slowly thickened and then enlarged, until they were shaped like a spinning top, and swept the road.
All the men hurriedly picked up their horses and galloped backwards to avoid the raging hurricane.
The wind blew for a quarter of an hour before it came from the side of the road and entered the desert. Looking back, there was no place where they had fought the sand pirates just now, as if no one had ever passed by.
Xue Heizi counted the number of people and saw that there were no casualties, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly a war horse galloped in the distance, "General, urgent military report!" ā
The horse stopped in front of the team, and the signal soldier covered in sand turned over and fell off his horse, trotting and holding a letter, "General, the 100,000 troops in the north have captured Loulan Xianyun and Bishui, and cleared the three cities!" ā
