Chapter 455: Interception

"General, go further and the Western Regions!"

It was the first time for the merchant to come to the Western Regions, although he had long heard about the harsh environment in the Western Regions, but when he really came to the Western Regions and saw the wind and sand, it still made them a little difficult to breathe.

Wind and sand, poisonous insects, exaggerated temperature, all of this made him deeply understand why he could make so much money as long as he transported the things of Datang to the Western Regions! That's the money you sell! Those who are unlucky will definitely stay in this desert forever!

The one who was questioned was Hou Junji's new pro-soldier commander, and the previous one had already been killed by Su Bai!

He didn't even look at the merchant, spit out the sand that blew into his mouth, and said: "We have already left the Yumen Pass, and after leaving the Yumen Pass, it is all the Western Regions, so we are now in the territory of the Western Regions, and in a day and a half, we will be able to reach the nearest city."

When the merchant heard that there was still a day and a half before he could reach the nearest city, he couldn't help but say, "We've been gone for two days!" And that far? ”

This time, the commander of the pro-soldiers simply ignored him, in the desert, it was very important to keep the body hydrated, and he didn't want to waste his physical strength to deal with these merchants.

The merchant, having lost his interest in himself, slowed down his horse and fell behind.

Most of the merchants who have been to the Western Regions before are in the carriages, and the wind outside is strong and the sun is strong, so they don't want to come out and suffer, so only this kind of people who come to the Western Regions for the first time will choose to ride horses.

I don't know why, the commander of the pro-soldier has a very strong heartbeat today, which is very unreasonable, he also thought that this was the sequelae of coming to the Western Regions, when he came to the Western Regions before, he also had such a feeling once, but it was not so strong at the time.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he gently rubbed his heart, and then untied the water bag on his waist and took a small sip! Carefully fasten the water bladder, and then look around vigilantly.

Behind him is a local veteran, who is also at the helm of the Houjun Jijia trade route! But because this time the person who came was the new commander of the pro-army! He could only give up the position of the team leader!

His eyes swept to the dead wood and small hills around him, and from time to time he looked up at the sun in the sky and the map in his hand, although he had walked this road countless times, but the wind and sand were so big! The path you took before is probably now a sand dune, and if you deviate a little at the beginning, you will end up with a world of difference.

If you get lost in this great desert, there is only one consequence.

His eyes searched the desert for everything that could be used as a signpost, and when his eyes swept over the sand dunes on the side, he seemed to see something light up on them, and when he looked again, he saw nothing, and he thought that he had been in the desert for a long time, and his eyes were spent.

I rubbed my eyes gently, and when I looked over again, there was really nothing.

The commander of the guards in front also turned to him at this time and said, "We don't have a lot of water and food, so we can last for a day, and we can really arrive on time the day after tomorrow?" ”

The veteran looked at the map again, then nodded affirmatively, "Yes!" ”

The commander of the pro-soldiers nodded and looked at the already shriveled water bladder on his waist.

The veteran's eyes looked at the sand dunes not far away again, and as he spoke, they got closer to the sand dunes, and the place where there was light before lit up again, and he squinted carefully, trying to see what it was, the sunlight reflected by the sun? Or is it the sand that flows, giving yourself hallucinations?

The light rolled down from the top of the dunes to the bottom of the dunes before disappearing.

Because it was daytime and the sun was very strong, most of the people were wrapped in white veils, and they didn't see clearly, not even the commander of the guards.

The veteran sighed, after staying in the desert for a long time, it is inevitable to hallucinate, didn't he see the devil's city in mid-air before! According to the locals, none of the people who went to Devil's Town ever returned.

Just as he was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves sounding something wrong, as if he had kicked something, and the commander of the guard in front of him reacted with him. The two looked down and saw that it was actually bamboo! Bamboo buried in the desert!

The two looked at each other, how could there be bamboo in the desert? Then the veteran heard a strange sound in the bamboo, and it was the sound of the fuse burning!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the sky collapsed, and the sea of sand rolled!

The Hou family caravan came to the Western Regions this time, and more than 500 people came! With the addition of two thousand guards, and the guards hired by the merchants, there were nearly three thousand in total!

With so many people, in just a few breaths, there are less than 200 people who can stand up!

More people are shattered to the ground, and they can't fight together! One second it was still an earthy yellow sand dune, and the next second it had become a hell on earth, and the smell of blood seemed to make the air a little sticky.

The ground had become a mess, and the flesh and bones seemed to carpet the sand dunes.

Xie Bi'an stood up at the top of the sand dune, and he was the one who lit the fuse just now!

They had already laid an ambush here a few days ago, planted a large amount of explosives in the ground, and the fuses were placed in bamboo tubes, so they didn't have to worry about being crushed by the sand.

"What are you doing? Go! Mend the knife! Whether you're dead or not, cut off your head for me! ”

Xie Bi'an saw that the secret guard beside him didn't move, so he couldn't help shouting! Hearing Xie Bi'an's shout, the five hundred secret guards began to act, although they were not slow, but Xie Fan and the others could see that their bodies were very stiff!

Although they were trained a lot, they still couldn't accept such a bloody scene for the first time.

The reason why I can act now is only because of the body's knee-jerk reaction. In the past two years, they have developed the habit of subconsciously listening to orders.

They may not have any special reaction today, but Xie Bi'an knows that they will not eat meat again for a long time in the future!

The screams rang out in this deserted sand dune, the power of the bomb was great, but it was impossible to kill everyone, many people were only injured. The more seriously injured ones rolled and howled on the ground.

Their pain didn't last long, the dark guard arrived, the secret guard's killing method was neat, the knife fell, the opponent's head was cut off, grabbed the hair on the skull, casually threw the head aside, slowly, gathered a pile.

Those who were less injured turned around and ran when they saw this scene! They've been scared by the explosives!

But in their current state, how can they outrun the Dark Guard?

They didn't even run a hundred meters! was caught up by the secret guards, and fell with knives in hand, and all of them became revenants!

The knives of the dark guards are all made by famous artists, and they are extremely sharp, but even so, after cutting off the heads of the corpses, most of the knives have already curled their blades, no way, the spine is really hard!

Xie Bi'an pointed to the head of the man who looked like a hill and said, "You guys, build him up!" Without saying a word, the guards silently walked over and began to build heads. Fan Wusu said on the side: "No water!" ”

Xie Bi'an said: "Isn't there so much blood?"

"No Soil"

"Isn't there sand here?"

"Non-sticky!"

This time, Xie Bi'an stopped talking, but without water and soil, it would be difficult for Jingguan to build up! Thinking of this, he gave up directly: "Okay, okay, no need to base it, go check and check their goods!" If you want to burn everything that doesn't blow up, you can burn it! Take all the gold and silver! ”

"Yes!"

The guards said yes and began to clean up, boots on the flesh on the ground, the feeling of driving people crazy! All the guards quietly searched beneath the corpse.

Xie Bi'an was bored with a short spear and wrote and drew on the sand, and the patterns he drew couldn't even be understood by himself.

Finally, it took nearly half an hour for the guards to pack up everything, Xie Bi'an waved his hand, and all the guards carried gold and silver on their backs, and walked towards the sand dunes in the distance, where their horses were still there.

……

Half a month later, Hou Junji received the news, and at that time, he smashed his favorite glass cup!

His face turned red, as if he wanted to eat people! The next person who came to deliver the message was afraid that the gathering of the king would affect him, and his intestines were about to regret it!

He slammed the table and roared, "Who is it! ”

The subordinate naturally didn't dare to answer, Hou Junji was panting heavily, he had already decided in his heart that this matter was done by Su Bai! Su Bai's words that day, if you let me die alone, I will let your family pay for their lives, are still echoing in his ears!

Three thousand! Three thousand! Not a single person escaped! Does Wushuang Hou really have such a strong strength now?

My own goods are gone!

This loss is a big one for Hou Junji, it's not just as simple as breaking your muscles and bones!

The Octagon Chamber of Commerce was wiped out like this. More than 20 people, bankrupt and dead, who can stand up and continue to form the Octagon Chamber of Commerce?

One thing could be a coincidence, two things could be a coincidence, and a third could be a coincidence? A caravan of 3,000 people, say it will be destroyed? Who has such a great ability in the Western Regions? And who has the audacity?

Those who heard the news in Chang'an City said that some people guessed who did this thing for the first time.

Hou Junji gritted his teeth, put on his official uniform, asked the housekeeper to prepare the horse, and went to the palace to complain! He can't let things go on like this, hundreds of people up and down his family are counting on him to feed, pointing to the little money in the court and not starving to death?

Now that Su Bai has cut off his family's business route, it is obvious that he will not give him a way to live!

Hou Junji now even wants to directly lead his troops to Juxian County, once and for all! But Su Bai's force in the realm of a little grandmaster, if he wants to leave, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop him, offending a little grandmaster, and he may be living in the shadows for the rest of his life.

The best way to do this is to let Li Shimin give him a head!

Naturally, the matter of Hou Junji's entry into the palace could not be hidden, and it didn't take long for Li Chengqian to receive the news, in fact, before Hou Junji received the news of the total destruction of the caravan, Li Chengqian had already received it, after all, he was also the helmsman of Bai Yulou!

Ji Da's mood has not been high in the past two days, and he insists that Li Chengqian's previous support in Houfu is a bad move! And it's the kind of chess that you know stinky chess and want to jump in! This made Ji Da feel like a failure, and he couldn't even stop this kind of thing.

Li Chengqian also felt that he was a little too much for his first strategist, and he comforted him in the past two days, but Ji Da was still not in a high mood, after all, he had already proved his status in the prince's heart before about things. He had always regarded himself as the number one strategist by Li Chengqian's side before, but Su Bai made him understand that in Li Chengqian's heart, he was not even as important as a piece of news!

When Li Chengqian received the news, he immediately called Ji Da to his side, and then asked him to understand what happened. Ji Da looked at the news of Bai Yulou's return, and said with a wry smile: "Wushuang is really urgent, the traces of revenge are too obvious!" In this way, who in the entire Chang'an doesn't know that this is his revenge? It inevitably makes people think that Hou Ye is a person with a small belly."

Ji Da's words are not unreasonable, but the relationship between the two sides has reached this point, it's not that you die or die, who cares about whom?

Ji Da also understood what Su Bai thought, but a literati like him, what he didn't like the most was this kind of revenge! He prefers the kind of slow calculation.

Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Wushuang Hou, the rules of the game have been broken, and there will only be more and more people who will foul in the future!" ”

Ji Da nodded, Su Bai had relied on his amazing force to break into Chen Guogong's mansion before, which left a very bad impression in the hearts of hundreds of officials! After all, no one can guarantee that there will be no offending Wushuang Hou in the future, and when the time comes, he will forcibly break into his own house, who can stop him?

The rules of being an official and being an official naturally, even if you look at the other party unpleasantly, you have to move him in the rules, not Su Bai, as if you can't see the rules, and go into battle shirtless!

……

Su Bai was the first to receive the news, and even the five hundred dark guards had already returned to the underground of the library to continue training!

At this time, Su Bai was fishing by the river with his four apprentices.

Qiu Fu holds a puff fan in his left hand, a fishing rod in his right hand, and an oversized oil-paper umbrella behind him to block the sun. Today's weather is very good, but it is a little hot, causing people to be sleepy, Qiu Fu nodded his head one by one, if he is given a pillow, he will definitely be able to fall asleep directly.

Yuan Cen did not stay in front of his fishing rod, but took a pu fan and fanned Su Bai by Su Bai's side.

Lu Yuan's big eyes were spinning around, and from time to time he looked at Wang Mingzhu and Li Mingda, who were fluttering butterflies among the flowers on the side.

As for Li Zhi, he held the fishing rod seriously, staring at the river without blinking, ready for a fish to bite the hook at any time.

Good picture, wandering boy fishing.
