Chapter 21: Leave a Hand
"Free?" Liu Jing wondered. It's obviously a reward for 500 sheep, but how can it become free in Bailijian's mouth?
"Not only is it a free escort, but people also want to give us another 100-person team of equipment and war horses, such a big gift, it would be too much to say if you don't accept it."
When Liu Jing heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you trying to ......?"
"Hmm!" Bai Lijian nodded.
"You're too bold, it's a regular army, even if it's not as elite as the Praetorian Guard, it's not something that the dozens of horse bandits under our command can match." Liu Jing couldn't help but exclaim.
Bai Lijian will pay attention to the team escorted by Su and Luo, which is a bold idea in itself, and once it is exposed, everyone will be in a different place. Those who anger the army never end well.
Compared with Liu Jing's panic, Bai Lijian was much calmer: "Hold the bold to death, starve the cowardly!" We have nothing to lose, and we have nothing to lose. But once we succeed, then we will have a hundred complete cavalry equipment, which is too tempting. ”
"It's tempting, but what are we going to rob of?" Liu Jing said worriedly.
"It's too early to say, there is time along the way, and even if we don't have a chance in the end, we will lose at most 500 sheep."
"But I'm not worried about how that Su Heluo, with his greedy character, could let us leave safely. I'm afraid he'll do something to us halfway through, and then everything we'll have will be his. ”
"Sir's concern is that I still undercounted this and did not think of this. It looks like we're going to have to prepare for it early. ”
"Do you have any ideas?" Liu Jing has gradually begun to get used to consulting Bai Lijian in advance.
"The gentleman said it suddenly, and he didn't have a clue for a while. It's not too early, we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
"Okay, then you have a good rest, and I won't bother you."
Early the next morning, Bailijian asked Helanda to deliver a letter to Suhora and Luo, informing him of the tribe's decision. Soon, Su and Luo came with their men and horses. All of them were dressed in leather armor, with a longbow on their shoulders, a scimitar at their waists, a spear in their hands, and majestic war horses sitting under their hips.
Looking at the group of cavalry standing in front of them, all the men had envious expressions on their faces.
"Helanda, brother, I'm funny!" Su Heluo rode a tall horse, held a spear, wore a suit of armor, and wore a felt hat on his head, looking very imposing.
"That's, thank you, brother!" Helanda stood beside the horse and said respectfully.
"Haha, don't waste time, let's go, brother, I'll open the way for you in front!" Su and Luo waved their spears and urged the seated steed to slowly move forward.
The migratory procession was on the road again, and Helanda returned to the carriage, sat down beside Bailijian, and prayed to Bailijian.
"Childe, Su Heluo promised to give him another five hundred sheep when he arrived at the foot of Helan Mountain."
"Okay, you go get busy first."
The migration road is not all smooth sailing, and each family will have some unpleasantness, so it is still necessary for Helanda, the patriarch, to coordinate.
After sending Helanda away, Bai Lijian began to discuss the next coping strategy with Liu Jing.
"Sir, do you have any good ideas?"
"I thought about it all night, but I couldn't come up with anything very good. For now, it seems that we will have to wait and see if there will be any turnaround. ”
"It seems that this is the only way to go." Bai Lijian felt a little helpless in his heart, this kind of passive taste was not very pleasant.
Originally, the life of the future life was already beyond one's control, and if he still couldn't control his own life after crossing over, wouldn't it be a disappointing God's painstaking effort to let him live again. Therefore, Bai Lijian hated this feeling of being out of control very much, not only helpless, but also helpless.
The rest of the journey became easy and dull. It was easy because with Su and Luo leading the way, no one dared to come to trouble again, and the migration team moved much faster. As for the dullness, it was entirely because Bai Lijian himself was sulking.
Su and Luo are worthy of being the generals who lead the army, and unlike the ordinary marshals in the city, they have their own set of rules for marching and fighting, and Bai Lijian has secretly observed for a long time but has not found his flaws.
These days, Bai Lijian has been meditating hard every day, and no matter what method he uses, he is not completely sure of winning. Liu Jing also mixed with Bailijian every day, and the two of them deduced various methods, and finally found that if they want to succeed, they must be lucky.
"It seems that five hundred sheep are definitely indispensable, and now I only hope that Su Heluo can keep his promise and give those innocent people a way out." Liu Jing sighed helplessly.
"We can't sit still, since we have expected the worst outcome, then we must prepare in advance, and if there is a change, we can leave as soon as possible to preserve our strength."
"Well, Childe is right, prevention is better than prevention!"
"Through the observation of the past few days, I found that this Su and Luo marching army has a hand in the war, but he does not have too much defense against us, we can take the opportunity to secretly evacuate some people in batches, and then hang far behind the team, once Su and Luo want to plot against us, we can at least retain a little strength, and we have a chance to make a comeback."
"Great idea!" Liu Jing agreed: "Does the son have specific arrangements? ”
"I've already thought about it in the past few days, let our people put on grass clothes and hide, and then quietly follow behind after the big army leaves."
"What if these people escape? It's not that I don't believe in these bandits, it's that these bandits are not worth believing at all. They are following us now, partly because I can deter them, and secondly because they can live well with you. Liu Jing said worriedly.
"I've thought about it for a long time, we just need to leave them a day's rations, and then leave a day's food under the campfire every day before the camp leaves, so that they have to follow every day to have enough to eat. Once they escaped, hunger alone could kill them in the vast grassland. I don't think they'll be that stupid. ”
Liu Jing gave Bai Lijian a thumbs up, such a method can be imagined, and he has to admire it. In this way, not only must these people follow them every day, but they must also pray all the time not to lose them.
"But I also want to grieve my husband and help us take care of these people. The first is to prevent them from escaping, and the second is to stabilize their emotions. ”
"No, I showed my face in front of Su and Luo before, and once I leave, it will cause Su and Luo to be alert. Therefore, you still have to do this by yourself, and you still have to suffer this hardship by yourself. Saying that, Liu Jing suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
Bai Lijian smiled awkwardly and said: "Sir, why bother, as long as you leave a few days later, and don't show up in the past few days, with Su and Luo's character, you will definitely not find anything." ”
"It's not that I shirk it, you don't know martial arts, you can't ride a horse, in case something happens, it's hard to escape. I'm different, as long as I want to run, no one can stop me. ”
Bai Lijian was embarrassed by Liu Jing's words. It's not that Bailijian doesn't work hard, it's that Bailijian doesn't have the talent to practice martial arts and horseback riding at all, and he has only practiced half-baked so far.
