"Kill people?" Zhao Yi was stunned.

Yuwen Chengchao looked into the distance, his eyes were deep, and he muttered, "What did Zhao Dayong know that he shouldn't know?" ”

"We can't guess what we know." Qin Xiao said: "Eldest prince, do you want to find Ling Zixiao again nearby?" ”

Yuwen Chengchao thought for a moment before shaking his head and said, "No, the poisoning of the horse material must have nothing to do with him." Xiang Ning Zhifeng instructed: "Crazy, you take someone to bury Zhao Dayong nearby, his family, wait for us to go back, and then take care of him." Don't make a noise about this matter, the horses are poisoned, and the people in the caravan are already very nervous, if they know that Zhao Dayong was killed, they will definitely be even more frightened. ”

The crowd said yes.

From the poisoning of horses to the killing of Zhao Dayong, a thick dark cloud hung over everyone's hearts.

Ning Zhifeng, Zhao Yi and others simply buried Zhao Dayong at the bottom of the slope, and a fire was also lit in the camp, but it was silent.

Although most people don't know what happened, everyone senses that something is wrong, dozens of horses fall to the ground, that is a blind person can see, such a large-scale horse poisoning, of course, it can't be because some horses are not adapted.

The guards of the caravan did not dare to take it lightly, their knives unsheathed, their swords in their hands, and the guards were on the periphery of the camp, fully guarded.

Geng Shao took the elite soldiers from the White Tiger Battalion to guard the front, and once the cavalry came out of the hill slope in the front, they swooped down and flattened the river, which was the most impactful and threatening, so Geng Shao led the elite to guard the front, which was to serve as the main force.

Fat Fish divided the more than ten bodyguards of the trading house into two groups and guarded them on both wings, but in this way, there were too few people, so more than a dozen strong men were selected from the caravan to make up for it.

However, although these people are strong, they have never practiced knife skills, their duty is to pull carts and transport goods, and they have the strength, but let them fight with knives and guns, and they are cowardly before fighting, and they have no combat experience, and they are undoubtedly sent to death when they go into battle.

Of course, Yuwen Chengchao also knows this.

If you really want to fight, you can only rely on more than 20 guards, and you must also use the White Tiger Battalion Geng Shao and his group as the main force.

He asked all the strong men in the camp to carry knives, but in fact, he also made a gesture so that the enemy did not dare to act rashly.

Caravans have always had unwritten rules.

Once encountering bandits, in addition to the guards, as long as the caravan squats on the ground and holds their heads, and does not participate in resistance, then the chances of survival are still very high.

Generally speaking, bandits target caravans for money, not for murder.

The duty of the guard is that if the enemy is attacking, it is natural to resist, but others can completely give up resistance and get a chance to survive.

Although Yuwen Chengchao let the strong men of the caravan take the knife, he didn't want them to really participate in the fight, if the formation really couldn't bluff the enemy, then when the enemy attacked, he could only let these people abandon the knife and give up resistance, in order to protect themselves.

The night was breezy and it was late at night.

The veterinarian took people to irrigate the horses, and the other horses were watered every once in a while.

By the middle of the night, the horses of the White Tiger Battalion had been able to stand up, and although they had not fully recovered their strength, they were no longer weak.

As soon as the hour arrived, the guessed enemy never appeared, and the guards did not dare to take it lightly, and the rest of the camp was nervous

The atmosphere eased a little, and some people even wondered if the enemy did not dare to act rashly because the enemy found that there were many people here, and the plan to attack was canceled.

Qin Xiao and Geng Shao led people to guard the front, Fat Yu and Dapeng guarded the left, and Yuwen Chengchao led the rest of the people to guard the right.

Fortunately, there were many vehicles in the team, and placing them horizontally outside formed a barrier, and even if a horse bandit rushed to attack, the vehicle could prevent the horses from rushing directly into the camp.

And whether it is the people of the White Tiger Battalion or the guards of the trading house, not only are they trained in swordsmanship and can fight, but they are all good at bows and arrows, all the guards are carrying large knives on their waists, hanging quivers on their backs, and holding longbows in their hands.

"Riding school, you squint for a while." Geng Shao saw Qin Xiao sitting on the side of the car boredly, and said softly: "The enemy is coming, the spies on the slope will find out immediately, and it will not be too late to wake you up at that time." ”

Qin Xiao laughed and asked, "Do you think the enemy will appear tonight?" ”

"Actually, if they really want to attack the caravan, after the hour, it will be the best time." Geng Shao looked at the night sky, and the moon was still bright and bright tonight.

Qin Xiao let out an "oh" and said, "How do you say it?" ”

"When it got dark, the whole camp began to get nervous because of the poisoning of the horses." Geng Shao thought for a moment before he said: "At that time, we began to be on guard to guard against enemy attacks. A person who is always on the alert will get more and more tired, but in fact, at this hour, it is the most exhausting moment, and if I were the enemy, I would definitely attack at this moment. ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that Geng Shao still had two strokes after all, not only brave, but also brainy, not just a rough martial artist.

Hearing two sounds from there, Qin Xiao got up and walked to the Black Overlord's side.

After the horses had recovered somewhat, they were taken to the camp, and the caravan horses that had not yet recovered were left to lie outside for the time being.

The Black Overlord was the only one of the dozens of horses in the entire caravan that did not eat horse feed, and thus spared the pain of diarrhea.

Qin Xiao only knew that the Black Overlord was extremely fast and strong, and he was a BMW that was one in a thousand, but after this time, he felt more and more that this Black Overlord was extraordinary, dozens of horses, only this guy could detect that there was a problem in the horse material, and his alertness was indeed outstanding.

The Black Overlord has always been very quiet, and at this time he was obviously a little uneasy, walking around in place, Qin Xiao stroked his mane, but his eyes were already looking at the hill slope in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone pay attention, they should have arrived." ”

The abnormality of the Black Overlord made Qin Xiao have a premonition that the situation was wrong, and sure enough, he soon saw two figures rushing from the side of the hill, and before he got close to the camp, he had already shouted loudly: "Coming, there is an enemy attacking, there is an enemy attacking!" ”

Everyone waited for most of the night, and their spirits were tense, and when they heard the shouting, the guards had already taken out their arrows, used their vehicles as cover, occupied a favorable position, and prepared to meet the enemy.

The spies on the front shouted warnings, and in the quiet night, the sound came far away, and the spies on the slopes on the left and right sides heard the sound, and did not hesitate, and quickly ran back to the camp.

Yuwen Chengchao had already come in a hurry, Qin Xiao held the knife in his hand, saw Yuwen Chengchao coming, and said in a low voice: "Eldest prince, it is really here, faster than we thought!" ”

"I thought they were going to be ready until tomorrow night." Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "It seems that poisoning the horses is not just to trap us here

, but let us have no horses to go, that is, to kill us by the Zhuma Lake. ”

"Look, eldest prince!" Geng Shao said in a deep voice, raising his hand to the hill slope in front of him.

Under the moon, I saw a few shadows appear on the hill slope, although the distance was a little far, but I could roughly see the outline, four or five horses appeared on the hill slope, just stopped, and those horses swooped down from the hill slope, and the speed was extremely fast.

Qin Xiao saw that those people were united, and when he saw that his riding skills were unusual, he was by no means under the elite of the White Tiger Battalion.

"Why are there just a few people?" Geng Shao frowned.

Qin Xiao was also strange, looking in the direction of the two wings, and there was no movement on either side for the time being.

Wanting to attack the caravan with just a few horses, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream, Qin Xiao knew that there must be something strange in it, he glanced back in the direction of the lake, and asked in a low voice: "Eldest prince, is there someone to guard the lake?" ”

"There are people over there who are scheduled to keep an eye on the surface of the lake, and if there is any movement, they will immediately warn them." Yuwen Chengchao said: "They shouldn't dive over." ”

As he spoke, the horsemen were getting closer and closer to the camp, and Geng Shao and the others had already drawn their bows and arrows, just waiting for an order to release their arrows immediately.

"Don't worry." Yuwen Chengchao said: "Wait for them to get closer, and see what the hell they do." ”

There were still twenty or so paces to go, and the horsemen were already fully within range of their bows and arrows.

By the moonlight, several people could see very clearly, they were all wearing leather jackets and leather helmets, but their two arms were exposed, and there was no leather protection.

"It's the Vedic cavalry." Yuwen Cheng's face sank: "This is the dress of the Vedic cavalry." ”

"Woods?" Qin Xiao was also very surprised.

Previously, everyone speculated which group was preparing to attack the caravan, although they also thought that it was a Vulture, but they felt that the possibility was not very large, and at this time they found that it was really a Vultic cavalry, but it was very unexpected.

A few horsemen stopped at this moment, and the first one was burly, although he was dressed as a Vedic cavalryman, but below the nose, he was covered with a gray scarf, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, not only the leader, but also the riders behind him, who were also covered with gray scarves.

"Can the eldest prince Yuwen come out and say a few words?" The men at the two ends of the Vedic cavalry said in a loud voice, like a bell, full of energy.

Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao glanced at each other, stood up, and shouted at the man, "Who are you?" ”

"On the orders of the White Wolf King, come and make a deal with the eldest prince." The man spoke the Central Plains dialect, but he was half-baked, and his accent was really Vedic one.

Yuwen Chengchao was a little stunned, frowned, and said, "What kind of business?" ”

"Can the eldest prince come out and speak?" The man said: "You don't have to worry, when we talk about business, no one will hurt you, whether it is war or peace, and you have to wait until the talks are over before making a decision." ”

Although the man spoke tactfully, Yuwen Chengchao could hear it, and it was clearly mocking himself for hiding behind the car and not daring to go out.

Yuwen Chengchao sneered, but put the knife into the sheath and walked out from the back of the car, Qin Xiao was worried that Yuwen Chengchao would lose, and followed by him, the other party only had five cavalry, if he really wanted to make any moves, he should be able to protect Yuwen Chengchao's thoughtfulness, and Geng Shao and the others' arrows were aimed at those horses, they really wanted to act rashly, and what they ushered in was the sharp arrows of Geng Shao and others.
