Chapter 40: Evading Arrest
The vast Gobi Desert under the sunset is covered with coarse sand and gravel, and stepping on it, rustling. Dry ditches lay lifelessly on them. In addition to some drought-tolerant plants such as ephedra and sand jujube, few plants grow, and animals are very rare.
Yuesheng and Yue'e rode on war horses, leisurely following the hundreds of war horses driven by Na Abel and a few herdsmen.
In front of these horses was the Turkic vanguard army, the Tiger Division, and at this time the entire army was hurrying and quickly heading towards the direction of the Tang Jing Division.
Since Abel said a few words to Yuesheng and Yue'e for the first time, he hasn't paid attention to the two of them, and Yuesheng and Yue'e don't bother to get up to it.
The two simply believed in the horse, lay on the back of the horse to sleep, chatted, and gathered together to enjoy this rare northwest scenery. When you are hungry, you take out dry food and eat a few bites, and when you are thirsty, you drink a few sips of water in the water bag, no one disturbs you, and your life is comfortable.
However, the leisurely days were soon broken, and when the third day came, the army had advanced to only a hundred kilometers away from Weiqiao, and the Tang army began to appear on the opposite side.
The entire Tiger Division army stopped, and then Abohan sent a large number of spies to find out the truth of the Tang army.
I saw the neighing of the horses in the entire barracks, and groups of three or five teams went in and out, so it was not lively.
Yuesheng and Yue'e found a stone pile at random, sat on it, bored, and watched all this coldly.
I didn't want to think that at this time, Uncle came up, and he still looked sloppy.
"You two little babies, let you find a chance to escape, why are you still here? If you don't run tonight, I'm afraid you won't see the sun tomorrow! ”
That Abel said slowly to Yuesheng and Yue'e.
"Abel, can you tell us why? We finally ran out of the house, just to defect to the Great Khan, and we didn't provoke anyone, who would harm us? ”
Yuesheng and Yue'e looked at Abel with innocent expressions.
"You two little babies are still too young, let me tell you the truth, the people sent here to herd the horses are untrustworthy people. Sooner or later, you're going to die! ”
After speaking, Abel glanced at Yuesheng and Yue'e, and saw the surprised expressions on their faces, so he continued:
"In normal times, you would have lived a few more days, but tomorrow the Khan will come. According to the rules of the Great Khan, before the arrival of the Great Khan, all untrusted people would be eliminated. ”
After Abel finished slowly, he lifted the bucket in front of Yuesheng and Yue'e, and prepared to feed the horse.
"According to the previous rules, Abohan will definitely send someone to kill you tonight, hurry up!"
Abel walked forward slowly with the bucket and said to Yuesheng and Yue'e.
"What to do? Born in the moon! ”
Yue'e looked at Yuesheng and consulted Yuesheng's opinion.
"Run, we definitely won't run, we finally got in, so we can run before the task is completed!"
Yuesheng said to Yue'e with a smile.
"However, for the time being, we must not make enemies with that Abohan, he sent someone to kill us, and we cannot fight back, otherwise it will affect our plans."
Yuechang exhaled and continued:
"So I decided, hide! At night they sent men, and we hid, and during the day they certainly did not dare to mess around. ”
Yuesheng, who has received strict training since childhood, Yue'e is already proficient in the way of assassination, stealth, and hiding are all necessary skills for them, so it is not difficult for the two of them to avoid the assassination sent by Abohan.
"Well, it looks like we're getting more and more fun coming out this time!"
Yue'e excitedly took Yuesheng's hand and said to Yuesheng, don't look at Yue'e's well-behaved and virtuous appearance.
In fact, there is an adventurous, restless heart that likes fun and adventurous things the most.
When night came, Yuesheng and Yue'e changed into night clothes and hid in the night.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, more than a hundred people came near the horses, carrying long sabers in their hands, and the leader turned out to be Nadadar.
"Search, find out those two little babies!"
Nadadar commanded to the hundred or so men. The men quickly searched around the horses.
Soon after, the group was back together.
"Report, we didn't find those two!" One of them reported.
"Report, we don't have it either."
"Report, we didn't find it either!"
The news kept coming, and Nadadar's brows seemed to be furrowed.
"It's strange, the people who monitored them in the afternoon also reported that they were still there, and they wouldn't run away at night!"
Nadadar said to himself.
"You go, Abel, find him, I have something to ask him!" Dadar commanded a soldier next to him.
After a while, Abel was brought up. Apparently just asleep, sleepy-eyed.
"Abel, what about the two young men you are looking at?" Dadar said to Abel.
"I saw them before I went to bed! I don't know where this will go. ”
Naabel said to Nadadar.
"Have you noticed any attempts to escape in the past two days?"
Dadar continued to ask Abel.
"No, those two young men adored us very much, and privately said that they must meet each other no matter what, and then they ran away without seeing them."
That Abel said categorically.
"They must have been there before you came, did they see you coming, frightened, and just sneaked away?"
Naabel said to Nadadar, and it was clear that both of them were shirking their responsibilities, so as not to leave a confession with Abohan. The military regulations of the Turkic army were very strict, and if you didn't pay attention, you would be punished.
"Humph! Okay, you go back. Nadadar's face shook and he waved at Abel.
"The rest of the people, let me search the neighborhood, I don't believe how far these two can run without riding horses." Nadadar commanded to the crowd.
A group of people left the camp gate and searched the vicinity. The men tossed and turned all night with neighing, and finally found nothing, and finally withdrew to the barracks just as the sun was about to rise.
In fact, Yuesheng and Yue'e did not leave the barracks at all, leaving these horses, but they used the cover of darkness and horses to avoid the search of the Turkic soldiers around them.
When the soldiers rushed out of the barracks, Yuesheng and Yue'e landed on the horses they usually ridden, pouting and smiling at the busy people around them.
When the day dawned and Ah Bo was about to feed the horses, he looked up and saw Yuesheng and Yue'e sleeping on the horses, and he was startled.
I saw Abo's eyes purring, looking at Yuesheng and Yue'e on the horse suspiciously, as if they felt incredible.
"These two little babies, why are they still here, so many people looked for them last night, but they didn't find them, strange! Is there a god protecting them? ”
The abel was talking to himself while shaking his head and going about his own business.
When Abel finished his own affairs and fed the horses, he came to Yuesheng and Yue'e.
woke up Yuesheng and Yue'e, who were sleeping on the horses.
Yuesheng and Yue'e looked at Abel with sleepy eyes, looking like they hadn't woken up.
"You two little babies, alas, good luck, so many people searched for you last night and you didn't find it, today, the khan will come, after you have seen the khan from afar, hurry up and run! The farther you run, the better. ”
Then Abel paused and continued:
"There is going to be a war soon, and I don't know how many people will die!"
