Chapter 784: Flood Fortune
Xia Xun stepped into Miaoyi with an arrow step, and said in a low voice: "Ten are coming at me, I'll go back to the village to hide first!" ”
There are reeds, but they only grow close to the lake, and although they are dense but not wide, they can be easily searched. As for the tall poplar tree, it is ten feet high, but under the tree is a piece of yellow sand, and there is no way to hide people. Not to mention the desert, not only is there nowhere to hide, but the terrain is similar, it is easy to get on the road, if according to Suleiman, people who are not familiar with it can go in and walk casually, they can méng all the way here, not necessarily they can no longer méng back to the depths of the desert.
As for the ...... of that small village, in fact, the place that Xia Xun is most concerned about is the place where the merchants are stationed, and the village is not necessarily easier to hide than here, and there are many Han people here, and it is too obvious when they arrive in the village. But in view of the fact that Miao Yi was still hostile to him, Xia Xun took retreat as advance and proposed this idea.
Sure enough, when Miao Yi heard him say this, her heart softened, and she said, "No, you are even more eye-catching there." Li Bei, quickly take two sets of clothes and change them on! ”
"Yes!" As soon as he heard his wife's orders, the guard named Li Bei immediately hurried to a camp.
Xia Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to La Bird: "La Bird, go back to the village quickly, and tell everyone that if someone interrogates them, just say that there has never been a stranger in the village!" Otherwise, you will be killed! ”
Ra Bird blinked a pair of big eyes, looking at him curiously, not understanding what he was talking about, Xia Xun was so anxious that he stomped his feet, Miao Yi saw this, and hurriedly ordered a few words to the guide they hired, the guide ran over and said a few words to Layu, Ra Bird opened his eyes in surprise, nodded vigorously, and ran away as if he were flying.
"Your Excellency, we are past merchants, and the goods we sell and buy are many of the products produced by your country. Hahaha...... we are all businessmen, we just do business to make money, we will not mix with others, we have absolutely no living people here, let alone take in living people. ”
The leaders of several merchant groups were surrounded by a general dressed in Turkic fashion, and two groups of Timur soldiers armed with swords and fiercely guarded in front and behind. The general strode as they trotted along, and as one of the merchants spoke, he secretly shoved a bundle into the general's hand, wrapped in cloth, and sank into it, either gold or silver.
Today, the leader of the merchant group was eating wine in the tent of a merchant surnamed Jing, discussing some small matters of resting and recuperation, and leaving tomorrow, when suddenly a group of cavalry galloped from a distance, and the guards in charge of the watch saw that the other party was numerous, and set up a salon in the desert.
Because this trade route is not in front of the village or behind the store, and it is not enough to maintain the living materials of so many people, so limited by the living environment here, the horse thief team of more than 1,000 people is very rare, in fact, there is no at all, so the horse thief team on this trade route is unlikely to be too big, so when he heard that there were at least 2,000 people, the leaders of the merchant group were stunned.
When the visitors arrived, they learned that it was Timur's army. The desert is vast, and it is divided into three directions, but only Timur is the only one who actually garrisons here, so it is not unusual for his army to appear here. The leaders of the merchant group suddenly relieved half of their hearts, as long as it was an army subordinate to the political force, it was better than a horse thief to talk about some rules.
"What...... What people, stop! ”
Seeing that he had walked to where the Ying family caravan was, the two guards pulled out half of their knives and greeted them. Looking at their stubble, it is clear that they are afraid of the other party's strength, but they are just responsible, but they have to come forward.
"Get out of here!"
The two Timurid cavalrymen disdainfully pushed the two eyeless cowards aside to make the way for their general.
The two guards staggered to the side, watching them pass by with great brazenness.
Ying Zhan's face was ruddy from drinking, and at this time, he also accompanied Xiao to follow in front of the cavalry general of the Timurid Empire, and when he saw the two guards who were pushed aside, Ying Zhan couldn't help but be slightly stunned. There were about a hundred warriors in the courtyard he brought, and of course he couldn't necessarily call all of them, but most of them were familiar, these two warriors......
Ying Zhan glanced at them suspiciously, and then glanced at the other Ying family guards who were standing aside, knowing that there must be something wrong, so he didn't dare to make a noise, and hurriedly caught up with two steps, intentionally or unintentionally, blocking the sight of others for the two of them.
In fact, he didn't have to block and no one recognized the appearance of Xia Xun and Liu Yijue, Yu Jian did recognize Xia Xun, but when he deliberately leaked the news to Hu Shang Tuoba Mingde, the identity he said was only a relative of Gan Liang, a hundred household officials, if he could actually say and draw the appearance of the grandfather of the country, I am afraid that it would be self-defeating, Tuoba Mingde not only did not believe his words, but also thought that he had been recognized by him, which was a deliberate design to frame his own people.
What's more, as long as there are no special marks on the face, what can you say when you dictate a few words? As for drawing, even if every student learns to draw in school in modern times, how many people can draw with a pen and make people come to life? Not to mention that in that era, Yu Jian was only rough and literate.
As the chief steward of Tuoba Mingde's "favor", Yu Jianzheng followed Tuoba Mingde's side closely, although Xia Xun now has a big beard, if he is asked to take a closer look, he may be shocked, because he can still recognize it, but he also didn't pay attention to the two nursing homes of the Ying family, especially Xia Xun and Liu Yùjue were the first to meet and prevent entering the Ying family's territory, which made people even more inattention, this is the effect of darkness under the lamp.
The general of the Timur Empire passed through the camp until he reached the end of this side, and then he suddenly stopped, glanced at the path in the reeds in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "Is there a small village in front of this?" Send a team of people and search for me! Immediately, a group of soldiers chased violently along the path where the birds had just run away, and they scattered and searched the reeds together, and for a while they found the reeds flying and the wild birds jumping.
The general pressed the knife, turned around and glanced at several leaders of the merchant group, and said with a murderous tone: "You have traveled all the way, and you have really never seen any people fleeing, let alone taken in anyone, huh?" If there is a lie, once we find out, all of you here will die! ”
"General, we have come all the way, we really haven't met strangers, these are all people on the caravan, and we will continue to set off early in the morning!" Tuoba Mingde said with a smile, and pulled the general's sleeve again: "General, please take a step to speak!" With that, he pulled the general aside.
Tuoba Mingde was sure that there had never been any strangers in his team, but he never expected that just a moment ago, two strangers had become part of their joint business group.
He also used this business to completely win the trust of these Shazhou tycoons, and when the Ming army wanted to clear the wilderness and move all the soldiers and civilians of Shazhou back to Jiayu Pass, he followed them to withdraw to fill the wishful thinking of the internal response.
So, Mr. Tuoba Mingde stood up decisively and avoided disasters for everyone.
Several leaders of the merchant group saw Tuoba Mingde pull the general aside, muttering something, they didn't know that Tuoba Mingde was identifying himself to the other party, telling the other party not to interfere with their actions, standing in their position, only to see Tuoba Mingde constantly bowing, laughing and talking, and the big sleeves also moved from time to time, climbing on the general's arm, as if he was trying to buy the other party.
The two of them stood there and talked for a long time before they walked back together, and the Timur cavalry general said in shame: "Come on, disperse, and search their tents!" ”
At this time, although his attitude was arrogant, it was significantly softened compared to his previous cold tone. The leaders of the merchant group are all good at observing the face of the sè, how can they not know that it was Tuoba Mingde who said that the general was moved, and they couldn't help but cast a grateful gaze at him, Tuoba Mingde just smiled modestly, without any smug appearance, and this attitude won the unanimous favor of the leaders of the merchant group.
As a result, the Timur soldiers searched inside and outside the entire place where the merchant group was stationed, and they passed by Xia Xun from time to time, searching for Xia Xun bitterly.
In fact, along the way, this Timur cavalry has eliminated a team of horse thieves that they encountered, as well as a merchant group that came from Xierding and was smaller than the team in front of them.
Yes, they are armies, they don't kill innocents like horse thieves, and business travel is only good for them, but that's usual. The person to be killed this time is too important, at the moment the whereabouts of this person are unknown, life and death are uncertain, maybe he has been buried in the desert, then it is naturally best, but since you are not sure, then kill everyone you see, this is foolproof.
When the general arrived at this oasis, he looked at the scale from a distance, and knew that the merchant group here was relatively strong, if he insisted on killing it, the merchants would resist desperately, and his own casualties would be not small.
"Ahh
A scream of an NV person suddenly came from a tent, a soldier ran out after an NV person, the general's eyes lit up when he saw the NV person's posture, at this time Ying Zhan hurriedly stepped forward, the two Timur soldiers choked and drew their swords, Jiāo forked in front, blocking him, Ying Zhan said anxiously: "General, that's the villain's wife, please let the general go!" ”
The commander of the Timur cavalry stared at the charming young man in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and waved his hand reluctantly.
If it weren't for Tuoba Mingde's rank and official position being much higher than him, even if these people in front of him didn't kill, he wouldn't let go of such a coveted NV person. As soon as the soldier saw that the leader had spoken, he gave up the pursuit of Miao Yi, and Miao Yi hurriedly fled back to the tent.
When the camp had been turned into a mess, all the cages had been opened, and the Timurid soldiers had taken the opportunity to hide a lot of belongings, a group of men and horses who had searched the small village also returned, and the simple villagers had lived here for generations, and they were like a family with each other.
The inhabitants of this small village have the same faith as this army of Timur's descendants, and the appearance of the people in the village is relatively obvious, with deep noses, which can not be impersonated by Han Chinese, so there is no need to slaughter the village, so the village is also lucky to escape.
The general glanced greedily at the felt tent where Miao Yi was, and waved his hand stupidly: "Go!" Keep searching! ”
P: During the code word, I want to boil some water to make tea, I feel that when I hold the hand pot, my index finger will ache faintly, and it seems that the strength to lift the pot is gone. Presumably the code word hurts the tendons! Guan Guan raised his index finger, tears rippling: "Ask for a ticket!" Ask for votes! Ask for a commuter pass! ”
