Chapter 18: Running away
"Childe, since we are going south next, then maybe we can take advantage of Helanda." Liu Jing proposed.
"What does the gentleman want to do?"
"Helanda is one of the Helan tribes, and we can have them pretend to be a migratory party and head south. If we encounter a small tribe on the road, we will take it directly to strengthen our strength, and if we encounter a large tribe, we will pretend to be passing by to avoid unnecessary trouble. ”
When Bai Lijian heard it, this was indeed a good idea. If Helanda's identity can be used as a cover, then the road to the south will be much easier.
"Sir, this idea is good, I'll call someone to call Helanda, and let's discuss the specific regulations together."
As the leader of the tribe, Helanda was treated differently, he had a solitary tent to live in, and it was not far from Bailijian's tent.
Soon, Helanda was brought over, and when he saw Bai Lijian and Liu Jing sitting in front of the bonfire, he was slightly stunned. He knew Liu Jing, and he always thought that the biggest of this group of horse bandits was Liu Jing. But when he saw Bai Lijian sitting on the throne, he still chuckled in his heart.
Helanda bowed to the two of them and asked, "You two called me here, I don't know what happened?" ”
"In extraordinary times, for the sake of safety, I have wronged Lord Helan." Liu Jing nodded slightly at Helanda and said indifferently.
"Don't dare to be it, I'm just the leader of a small tribe, I don't have any official position, this adult doesn't dare to be." Helanda's attitude was very respectful, but the expression revealed in his words was very indifferent, and it was obvious that he was not convinced.
"As a loser, you should be glad that you met us. If it were anyone else, I don't think there would be a man in your tribe who could still stand more than a horse, and you, who would have been in a different place for a long time. Liu Jing said mercilessly.
"Hmph, if it weren't for our carelessness, how could you have succeeded!" Helanda was unwilling.
"Is it really careless?" Bai Lijian, who was sitting on the side, suddenly stood up and said.
"Who are you?" Helanda asked vigilantly.
"My name is Bai Lijian, and I am the head of this group of horse bandits!" Bai Lijian said with a smile.
"Huh?" From Helanda's surprised expression, you could see how shocking the news was for him. If he was defeated in the hands of Liu Jing, then he would have accepted it in his heart. But now standing in front of him was a child, which Helanda couldn't accept anyway.
"It can't be, it can't be!" Helanda shook his head vigorously and said, "You must have lied to me, you're just a puppet, aren't you?" ”
"Unfortunately, he came up with the idea of defeating you, and we just did what he told us to do." Liu Jing interjected at the right time.
Helanda's whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and he fell down softly, muttering to himself: "Impossible, this is impossible, I don't believe it......"
Bai Lijian and Liu Jing looked at each other, they didn't expect this Helanda to be so unbearable, and they didn't even have the courage to admit the reality. Such people pose no threat at all. However, Bai Lijian didn't dare to be careless, and he couldn't relax at all until Helanda's confidence was completely destroyed.
"Nothing untrustworthy!" Bai Lijian said: "You have already been vigilant in advance, there are people patrolling day and night, and they are fully armed. To be honest, when we first saw you so alert during the day, we were all a little apprehensive, worried that we would not be able to take you easily. It's just that your vigilance is not enough, we took advantage of the night to easily bypass your patrol, break through your camp, and then borrow aconitum poison to disintegrate most of your combat effectiveness, so you will have no resistance. ”
"We're not on guard." Helanda struggled to raise her head and said.
"And what are you guarding against?" Liu Jing asked vigilantly.
"We refused the recruitment of the Helan Ministry before, and we were worried that Lord Helan Aitou would send someone to punish us, so we have always been vigilant, and once we find out that something is wrong, we will immediately move."
"Do you think you can outrun Helan's cavalry?"
"We can't run, but after all, we are the same race, and they won't kill them all. We're actually prepared for the worst. Helanda said in a deep voice.
"Then it's no wonder!" Liu Jing suddenly said: "No wonder when I went to count the loot just now, I found that a lot of things had been packed, and it seemed that every family was preparing to leave." At first, we didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that this was the custom of this tribe, but we didn't expect you to run away for a long time. ”
"Haha, that's a coincidence." Bai Lijian said happily: "Since you have been prepared, it will save us a lot of trouble, let's run together." ”
"Running together?" Helanda didn't understand what Bai Lijian meant for a moment, and was puzzled.
"Of course, but to be precise, you take us away, and let's find a place where we can live safely."
"This ......" Helanda was even more confused at this time.
"Sir, tell him about our plans." Bai Lijian looked at Helanda with a confused face, and he didn't plan to continue teasing him.
Liu Jing stepped forward to help Helanda and asked him to sit down in front of the bonfire, and then Shi Shiran said: "We plan to use your identity as a Helan tribe to pretend to migrate, pass through the control area of the Helan tribe, and go south through the begging mountain, to follow the territory of the begging tribe. ”
"No, it's absolutely not going to work!" Helanda shook his head desperately and said: "This road has been the territory of the Helan tribe in the past, and there are large and small tribes of the Helan tribe everywhere, and there are no less than three large tribes with tens of thousands of people alone, not to mention more than a dozen medium tribes with hundreds of people, these tribes have troops stationed all year round, and once something happens, they can easily organize thousands of troops." If it was before, we could still use the name of Helan to migrate to the past, but now that we have angered Lord Helan Oitou, the past is equivalent to sending us to death. ”
"Helanda, I'm here to inform you, not to discuss with you. Whether you agree or not, we have to do it. Liu Jing said coldly.
"No, it's really not good, you're taking us to a dead end!" Helanda said with a crying voice.
Liu Jing was unmoved, and said in a cold tone: "I don't know if it's a dead end, but I know that if you don't cooperate, you will be sent to a dead end immediately." ”
Helanda collapsed to the ground again, his deep fear at a loss. Now there are only two ways in front of him, one is to refuse to cooperate and send his people to death directly, and the other is to summon up the courage to break through, and maybe there will be a chance to live.
