Chapter 38: Weapons and Swords (2)
As night falls, the road to the yurts is blurred, and in the pastoral areas of the steppe, there are very few people at night, and hundreds of yurts and yurts stand here, and sometimes it is easy to get lost. The smell of cumin and roast lamb can be smelled on the street, spicy and delicious, and hungry people can always be bewildered by this smell, and even drool, and in the distance there are people playing dombra and singing small songs, and merchants eating mutton skewers.
An Guijia ordered Gu Qi to buy more than 20 skewers of roast mutton, then bought two pots of soju, and returned to the yurt. They had finished their barbecue and drank all their wine in the yurt, and it was not until late at night that Visen and Moda arrived.
"Sir, we've got a look. As Visen and Moda entered the tent, Visen spoke, "The carriage was full of soldiers' armor, swords, and bows and arrows, and there were tens of thousands. β
"No one can provide so many weapons except Ji On. Bu Yi Lingyu said, "What is Niu Te going to do with so many weapons? He doesn't know why they are coming, and even if he knows, he can't prepare troops and weapons with such fanfare, right?"
"I've got to meet Ji On. An Guijia said to Buyi Lingyu, "I want to explain to him our intentions, I want him to know that the prince of Fengwei City is still alive, he is a native of Fengwei City, and he has the responsibility and obligation to serve his tribe, not continue to be friends and enemies, and my eldest brother was not kind to him back then." β
"He doesn't necessarily get to see us. "Now that he is in front of Niutel, his business is doing well, and from what I know of him, we don't have enough silver tickets for him to earn, and it is impossible for him to help us, and it is dangerous to do so, and we will soon be exposed." β
In the spacious yurt, only the firewood in the stove was crackling, and An Guijia squinted his eyes and glanced at Snow, "I said that if it is exposed, we will go to war, no matter what the result is, we have to try." β
It could be seen from the eyes of Bu Yi Lingyu that he acquiesced to An Guijia's proposal, so he nodded and said, "When will we leave?" β
"Early tomorrow morning. Anguiga replied.
Early the next morning, Anguijia, Xuenuo and Buyi Lingyu set out from the grassland on horseback, and when they passed a three-way river, they saw a group of more than 400 people, and a flock of forty or fifty sheep, some of them were dressed in tattered tiger skin clothes, some were wearing cotton jackets woven of animal hair, and a few women were braiding their long braids, and they were cutting mutton on the wooden planks in straw sandals that were about to be worn out, some were roasting food on the fire rack, and the children were chasing each other and fighting, and some were lying on the grass, looking for lice on each other's heads, Snow opened his eyes wide and showed a terrifying expressionγ
"They are a group of idle-do-pastoral shepherds. "Let's keep walking." β
"Nope. A young man in his thirties, who was squatting in the crowd and holding a piece of mutton, heard what Buyi Lingyu said, and got up and walked towards him, "My team, which is called a bandit by the government, has a free life, look at the team I have assembled with my own hands, we have no servants here, no slaves, no oppression and oppression, women are respected, but men can marry several women at will." "We yearn for freedom and have our own lives." β
"You're going to rob it, aren't you?" asked Snow, "or where did you get these sheep?"
"Of course. The young man took a bite of the mutton in his hand and said, "Otherwise, what will I use to feed this group of troops I have formed?"
"It's bandits. Snow corrected.
"Say whatever you want. He pointed to the large field of sheep grazing in front of him, "This flock of sheep can allow us to spend the whole spring here, we will eat all the food in front of us, and then move on to the next field to continue living." β
"Let's go. With his legs between his legs, the horse walked forward, and Snow and Buyi Lingyu followed in turn, leaving them behind.
"Actually, it's a good thing that these people can do all for me. An Guijia walked ahead and whispered to Snow and Buyi Lingyu, "In this era of war and famine, no matter what, this young man has the same dreams as humanity. β
"They're just a bunch of bandits. "I can't hold a sword, I can't fight, and I don't have organizational discipline." β
"I agree with my lord. Bu Yi Lingyu frowned, "If it's not bad people, a group of people like them is easy to manage, there are children, women, and old people among them, as long as they are arranged properly, I believe they will also work for us." β
Snow shook his head and smiled bitterly, no longer speaking, the two elders were unanimous, and he knew that he had lost. After walking for several kilometers, they finally saw a field of more than 200 square meters, surrounded by walls and covered with iron wires.
"Here we are. As he spoke, he dismounted, and Snow and An Guijia also dismounted, and there were countless people standing guard at the door, holding spears and shields in their hands, and no one could get close.
There was a sound of weapons being built from inside the city walls, and before Anguiga could tie up his horse, he was surrounded by a group of people, and before Snow could react, several long swords stabbed at them. Buyi Lingyu froze in place without any reflection, looking at those who rushed up. Snow didn't have time to exhale, only to see a black shadow suddenly flash in front of him, Snow took a few steps back, and the long sword in front of him almost caught him off guard and fell to the ground. He turned around and drew the sword at his waist to resist, followed by the sound of swords clashing, he pointed the sword at the person in front of him, swept the floor with his right foot in a circle, and put several people on the ground, and then he rose into the air, fixed the long swords of a dozen people with the swords in his hand, and threw them far away.
