The wind swept up the yellow sand, smashed on the people, and fell in a torrent. As long as a person stands in a certain place and pauses for a while, shaking his body, the sand and soil all over his body will fall into his karma.

In such an environment, all the people wrapped the whole person so that only a pair of eyes were left outside. The dry and cold wind still stubbornly drilled into all the crevices that could be drilled into, so that people could stay cold to the bones.

The sound of horses' hooves was heard in the wind and sand, and the black-pressed crowd behind the hillside suddenly stood up, and all of them clenched their weapons in their hands.

More than a dozen war horses came out of the wind and sand, paused for a moment, and rode out and walked straight to this side.

"Yellowbeard!" The knight on the horse shouted loudly, and his voice was a little humming because of the cloth cloth covering his face.

A burly man strode forward, ripped off a piece of silk cloth wrapped around his head, and a large fluffy yellow beard was particularly conspicuous, and he said loudly: "Is it the City Lord Peng?" ”

Peng Shuangmu turned over and dismounted, and walked over.

"Yellowbeard, how many people have you brought here?" The city lord of Muyu City, who is also the commander of the Tiande Army, Peng Fang's own family, Peng Shuangmu, asked.

"Two thousand people, this time Lao Tzu poured out of the nest. City Lord Peng, if the business is not big enough this time, you will lose money, such a ghost weather, the brothers can't come out in vain. Yellowbeard knocked on the big knife in his hand, and there was a sound.

"There are more than 100 carts, most of which are the best silk in the south, not white silk, but high-quality goods with flowers and colors, as well as fine porcelain, snowflake salt, frost sugar, and tea. Do you think you have enough Ben? Peng Shuangmu said with a smile.

"Such a good thing, why don't you eat it in Muyu City?" Yellowbeard was a little suspicious, "If you eat these goods and then hand them over to me to sell, you can get seventy percent of the profits, let Lao Tzu do it, you can only have thirty percent of the profits at most." ”

"The other party's background is a bit big, it's not easy to start in Muyu City, these people are also ghosts and ghosts, they didn't give me a chance along the way, besides, the idea is a little prickly, Lao Tzu doesn't want to have too much loss, so he needs more manpower. Yellowbeard, this time you can't eat alone, we both join forces, and each of us will benefit fifty percent. Peng Shuangmu said.

"How strong can a caravan be?" Yellowbeard chuckled: "How many of them are there?" ”

"A thousand people!" Peng Shuangmu Road.

"A caravan of a thousand men scared you." Yellowbeard laughed: "Don't move, Lao Tzu will come alone, and it will cost seventy percent of the profit to win Lao Tzu." The remaining thirty percent is your income from reporting and the cost of our friendship over the years, how about it? ”

"Are you sure?" Peng Shuangmu sneered: "Be careful of your teeth." Of these thousand men there was an army of 500 men. ”

"You Tang Army?" Yellowbeard laughed. "That's it, this batch of goods, Lao Tzu ate it alone, you just wait for the harvest of three percent of the profit. Business is not good this year, the damn Tubo people forced Lao Tzu to pay 100,000 yuan for military expenses, otherwise they would have to clean up Lao Tzu, and the brothers opened their mouths to eat again, you Peng City Lord doesn't care if it's more or less, right? This vote allows Lao Tzu to earn a little more, and he will be rewarded in the future. ”

Peng Shuangmu hesitated for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, your yellow beard has spoken, I have to give this face, but Sanchengli, don't give me a discount, how much this batch of goods is worth after it goes out, I also know in my heart, if you want to have a long-term business, you have to have integrity." ”

"The two of us have been working together for so many years, who is my yellow beard, don't you know yet?" Yellowbeard laughed.

Peng Shuangmu stopped talking, turned his head and got on his horse, and walked away.

"They're in the Bitter Man's Castle." Peng Shuangmu's voice came from the wind.

"Brothers, get ready to work!" Yellowbeard turned around and shouted loudly.

In the wind and sand, Peng Shuangmu rode his horse slowly, and suddenly laughed.

"General, just like that, cheapen them?" Behind him, a guard said.

"Cheap them?" Peng Shuangmu sneered: "Over the years, we have fattened up the yellow beard, and he has begun to be a little unruly, and he has repeatedly dared to bargain with me, and has hacked my money many times, when I don't know?" ”

"In that case?"

"I told him, this time the idea was prickly, and he refused to listen and insisted on doing it alone, so I will fulfill him." Peng Shuangmu said with a smile: "Look, this time Yellowbeard is going to suffer a big loss, and after he fights to the death with the other party, let's go out and win it in one fell swoop." At that time, Yellowbeard's strength will be greatly reduced, and if he wants to survive in this area, he will have to come to us again. Hmph, if he swallowed me, he had to take it out for me, and if he ate me, he had to spit it out for me. ”

"Two thousand habitual bandits! They are all masters who eat human flesh and drink human blood, if they really let them succeed? The guards were a little uneasy.

"I can't be wrong with these eyes. This batch of ideas is in hand, besides, how bad can Li Ze's subordinates be? We'll just wait and reap the benefits. Peng Shuangmu said.

The bitter fort is the dilapidated fortress where Yuan Chang and others are stationed now. Yuan Chang wrapped himself tightly and sat on the highest place of the Beacon Castle, he knew that his force value was too low, after being ridiculed by Tang Ji yesterday, he was angry to keep a vigil, but he underestimated the pain of this work, in a short time, he was almost frozen, but he was also a strong man, constantly stomping on the top of the fort, running around, and refusing to call people to replace him.

But when it was about to dawn, he couldn't resist the sleepiness any longer, leaned against the wall, and fell asleep in a daze.

The loud sound of the military horn woke up Yuan Chang, who had just been dozing, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the sky was already bright, and in front of him, Tang Ji and Li Hai were standing side by side looking ahead. Yuan Chang stomped his unconscious feet, walked up to the two of them, squinted at Tang Ji and said, "Didn't you say that these beards like to attack when the sky is about to dawn?" It's all bright on this day, and there is not a single fart. Are you mistaken? ”

Tang Ji shook his head and said, "It's not wrong, there must be a large number of bandits ahead." ”

"Why do you say that?" Yuan Chang sneered.

"It's very simple, our road is the main road! These days, we have been walking on this road, and there are really a lot of people coming and going, but since yesterday afternoon, there is not even a ghost in sight, not only did not come, but also did not go, what does this mean? It shows that there are people blocking us on both sides. Tang Ji spread his hands.

"Then why didn't they come?"

"This group of bandits probably knows some of our details, by the way, they are colluded with Peng Shuangmu, how can they not know our details? It seems that they don't want to fight us here, they want to trick us into continuing the march and then attack us on the road! ”

"If they don't come, what are we going to do? Dead with them here? ”

Tang Ji tilted his head and thought for a moment, "If they don't come, let's go find them and make them have to come." ”

After saying this, Tang Ji turned around and got out of the fort, and a moment later, more than a dozen horses drove away from the bitter man's fort and rushed forward.

"What are they going to do?" Yuan Changdao.

"We have a geographical advantage here, so it's best to wait for the bandits to attack, we can kill and injure each other in large numbers. When the enemy does not come, we send men out, and as soon as they find them, they have to come. In fact, the bandits are not too terrible, they really have no other strengths except for ferocity, what we have to worry about is Peng Shuangmu, the army is the most terrible when they are bandits. ”

Yuan Chang sighed: "The Tang army, have they all fallen to this point?" I don't even want to have a face, and I actually openly became a bandit! ”

"Kill all the people, who knows what they did?" Li Hai said lightly. "In fact, in this Tang Army, except for Li Xiang, there are a few remaining people who are not bandits, the difference is only who they rob and what means they use to rob it!"

"The people under Li Xiang's rule are really blessed, let them see the situation here, I'm afraid they are really unbelievable!" Yuan Changdao.

"So I decided to follow Lee Sang!" Li Hai laughed and said, "Even if Li Xiang sends me to this kind of place." ”

"Captain Li, don't underestimate our trip. Sooner or later, we will have to fight with the Tibetans, and if we don't control them, how can Li Xiang have the energy to go south? If we raise a team of men and horses in the Western Regions, we can contain a large number of Tubo military horses, which is a heavy task entrusted to us by Li Xiang! ”

Li Hai nodded silently, and looked up into the distance, where several black dots were rapidly approaching the Bitter Castle.

"It's coming!" Li Hai took off the Heavenly Punishment Bow from his back, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, took out the bowstring from the inside, put the string on the bow at a very fast speed, twisted it, stretched out his hand and played the slingshot string, listening to the sound of the humming bowstring, he raised the Heavenly Punishment Bow and kissed it.

"Prepare for battle!" Li Hai shouted loudly.

"Brothers, get ready to work!" Below, Tang Ji's shouting was also heard.

More than a dozen sentry riders were rushing back like a desperate man, and behind them, about hundreds of cavalry bandits were chasing after them closely, and farther away, the black crowd was rushing towards the direction of the bitter man's fort.

"More than two thousand!" Li Hai only glanced at it, and then gave a rough number, which is the most basic quality of a general.

"It's really here, it's not like Peng Shuangmu's army!"

"Send the dead ghost! Peng and the two sides sent him to die, and he is ready to reap the benefits! Below, Tang Ji raised his head and gave Yuan Chang an affirmative answer.

More than a dozen sentry horsemen rushed into the bitter fort, and the gap that had just been exposed was blocked by the rejection of the horse.

Yellowbeard looked at the bitter fort on the opposite side with some annoyance, he was indeed going to rob on the road, but this caravan not only did not go on the road, but sent a sentry to come out, and made a few turns outside the encirclement he set up, but he refused to enter the encirclement, which made him understand that the other party had long known that he was here, and he had no choice but to come out and do it.

Yuan Chang can spend a few days, anyway, the supplies in the team are enough, and he can't afford to spend his yellow beard.
