Chapter 117 Discarded Weapons

Tie Xinyuan and Xu Dongsheng were waiting in Yangguan in fear.

Last night, I vaguely saw that the beacon pier was on fire, and it was bright and dark, which was sending a signal to the distance.

Neither Tie Xinyuan nor Xu Dongsheng thought that this was asking for help from the barren Yangguan.

The signal should have been sent to Guazhou......

Once the beacon fire is issued, there is no sense of direction, as long as other beacon towers see wolf smoke during the day and fire light at night, they will light the beacon fire in their place regardless of 3721, as for who the final recipient of the news transmitted by the beacon fire is, it has nothing to do with the soldiers on the beacon pier.

The beacon piers at the border pass are a line, some of which are deserted, and some of which are still functioning.

Since the beacon fire can be seen in the deserted Yangguan, there is no reason why Guazhou will not be able to see it.

Yang Huaiyu said that as long as it is a border army, it is inseparable from killing, and it is killing regardless of goodness, which is not a secret in the army at all.

The Great Song Dynasty Military Law did not have any such thing as killing good and risking merit in the restrictions on the border army.

As long as it is an alien, if you kill it, it will be a credit.

The border army of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, and the border army of the Western Xia people can be imagined, if they take a trip, if they don't scrape away a layer of land, it will be considered good.

As the most innocent Iron Heart Source in this war, he naturally did not continue to stay in the dangerous Yangguan to respond to Mu Sin's thoughts.

His first reaction after seeing the beacon fire was to pack up his three mares and prepare to ride to Yiwu Prefecture first, but unfortunately, Xu Dongsheng did not agree no matter what.

After arguing for a while, Xu Dongsheng, who was also anxious, sent his five servants to the abandoned beacon pier between Guazhou and Yangguan as soon as it was dawn according to Tie Xinyuan's instructions.

As long as they saw the scouts of the Tangut people, they immediately lit the beacon fire and everyone fled to Yiwu Prefecture in unison.

Tie Xinyuan angrily scooped the rice porridge in the iron box with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth.

Over time, the more you stay here, the more dangerous it becomes.

"Musin won't be reluctant to give up that little cargo in the caravan, right? If you put everyone's lives on the line for that little money. Does he deserve to be called some bullshit wise elder? ”

Xu Dongsheng sighed and said: "If you want to pretend to be a good grandson and a good student, you just pretend to be good to the end, don't you just show your true form halfway like this?"

Neither I nor you have any choice, the two of us are simply living for our families.

Don't think that because Mu Xin is in Shazhou, he can't do anything with our family.

He's very old, and as long as we survive him to death, we'll be free. ”

Tie Xinyuan dropped the iron box and said angrily: "I think we are dead." The old guy who paid great attention to health couldn't die.

For several months, Mu Xin only drank water and ate bread every day, but he couldn't find a chance to poison him. ”

Xu Dongsheng said with a smile: "You have been looking for a few months, you are a fart, Lao Tzu has been looking for six years and has not had a chance." ”

As he spoke, he took out a gourd-shaped porcelain bottle only the size of a finger from his arms and threw it to Tie Xinyuan: "You have more opportunities than me, take this pill well, don't do it if you are not completely sure."

The arsenic in your baggage is almost the same as poisoning a mouse, and it is too far to poison Musin.

One of the benefits of pulling drugs is: As long as he is poisoned, his whole body will shrink into a ball, and he will not be able to move his hands or speak. Even if he knew that you had poisoned you, he would have no way to deal with you. ”

Tie Xinyuan took the porcelain gourd. Holding it in his hand for a while, he smiled and said, "Why don't you dare to poison Mu Sin?" Six years is enough to poison Moussein ten times.

To be honest, don't prevaricate me with these three words of no chance. ”

Xu Dongsheng smiled bitterly: "If I say yes, I am reluctant to poison Mu Xin." Do you believe that? ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded and said, "I believe it, if you have to find a boss for yourself, Mu Xin is so smart." It is a good choice to understand the sophistication of people and to return to a high position of power. ”

Xu Dongsheng smiled bitterly: "Some people in this world may be born suitable to be leaders, and some people are born to be led by leaders."

If it weren't for Mu Xin over the years, I, Xu Dongsheng, would still be a bitter camel rider.

To be honest, if this group of people didn't always threaten me with my family's lives, it would be nice to be with them. Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Knowing your affairs, didn't Mu Xin's return to China just ask you to send a son to him as a hostage?" Your wife gave birth to seven for you, giving one without detrimental to the overall situation. Xu Dongsheng sneered: "Only people like you, who have nothing to do with the high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty and have a lot of thoughts, are suitable to be hostages."

Although Lao Tzu had seven sons, there was no one to take for Mu Xin to spend.

Lao Tzu's son doesn't have your mind, one by one is stupid, if you send your son to Mu Xin in turn, in a few years, if Mu Xin doesn't teach me all my sons to be a wolf cub who eats his parents, Lao Tzu and your surname. ”

Tie Xinyuan was about to speak, Xu Dongsheng stood up suddenly, his eyes staring at the direction of Shazhou, and urged Tie Xinyuan repeatedly: "Get ready, Mu Xin, they should come." ”

As Xu Dongsheng looked in the direction of his finger, a puff of smoke rose from the horizon.

Tie Xinyuan, who had learned to look at the smoke and dust to identify the number of people, immediately knew that more than a hundred cavalry were coming.

Counting the time, Musin should indeed have arrived.

However, Tie Xinyuan still led his three mares to a position that was suitable for a quick escape, and then climbed up to the top of the city again to see if the person who came was Mu Sin, in case it was a Xixia person, and he could run quickly.

Xu Dongsheng had already mounted his horse to greet Mu Xin, and he didn't understand why he was so sure.

Seeing from a distance that Xu Dongsheng didn't seem to be killed by that group of people, Tie Xinyuan went down the city wall and considered how to pat Mu Xin's ass.

The servants had already set up five huge pots in the clearing, this was the mutton soup that had been boiled last night, and now it only needed to be boiled again, which was the best reward for Musin and them.

Of course, a huge bowl of broth with meat, coupled with a warm and comfortable bed, even if Musin knew that it was a slap on his ass, he would happily accept it.

I believe that after a night of fierce fighting, the old man who has run a hundred and fifty miles on horseback must need a good rest at this time.

Even when Tie Xinyuan was doing these things, he didn't forget to look at the sky in the direction of Guazhou, he was very worried about the thick column of smoke appearing in the blue sky.

As the broth boiled and the naan bread was soft, Musin moved his weak legs into the room.

A steaming cloth towel was sent by Tie Xinyuan upside down.

Musin reached out and grabbed it, first covering his cold hands with a cloth towel, and then sitting on a shabby stool, covering his face with a cloth towel.

"Elder, eat something first, and then rest for a while, we saw the beacon fire last night, I'm afraid this is not a place to stay for a long time."

Mu Xin nodded, took the cloth towel from his face, rubbed his somewhat reddened face from the steam, and watched Tie Xinyuan take a hanging crockpot from the fire, tear the naan cake and throw it into the crockpot, and then divided the broth and meat pieces in the crockpot into two huge bowls.

He brought one of the bowls to Musin's side, and he picked up the other bowl, and without waiting for Musin to speak, he began to eat with a sigh.

Mu Xin smiled slightly, and did not break Tie Xinyuan's careful thoughts, he did feel hungry.

I haven't had time to drink a sip of water since last night, and this bowl of broth came very timely.

The mutton soup cakes are indeed delicious, and after Mu Xin, who has long been able to use chopsticks, took a bite of it, his eyes lit up, and soon, a huge bowl of mutton cakes fell into his stomach.

After dropping the rice bowl, he stroked his stomach and smiled: "I haven't eaten so full for a long time." ”

"The elder likes it, you will leave the food to the students in the future, the old mother at home is the one who runs the restaurant, and the students still have some experience in the diet."

"No, you have to be in learning, not in eating, exquisite eating is a poison that corrodes the will, and because of this, Tokyo's prosperity is just a cloud of smoke in the eyes of the old man."

Tie Xinyuan hurriedly saluted and thanked the teacher for his teachings.

Seeing Tie Xinyuan's flattering appearance and Mu Xin's kind appearance, Xu Dongsheng, who had just walked in, felt as if he had eaten a fly.

He came to Musin's side and said, "Except for Mamluk, the rest have already entered Yangguan, and I heard from the Saeed brothers who are behind that they are still twenty miles away. ”

A hint of anger appeared on Mu Sin's face, and then he said calmly: "Rest for an hour, and then continue on your way." ”

Xu Dongsheng agreed, and went out again to arrange the itinerary. Tie Xinyuan whispered: "Teacher, these Mamluks are the most elite warriors, and they can't be abandoned, so it's better to let the students greet them." ”

Mu Xin shook his head and said: "The most glorious age of the self-castrated Mamluk cavalry is between seventeen and twenty-five years old, beyond this age, their bodies begin to decline, and after thirty years old, they will suddenly age, and the eighteen knights who came to Shazhou this time, the youngest is already twenty-eight years old."

As weapons, they already have cracks and are unusable, this time, they can't even break through the small formation of five hundred people, Mamluk's face has been lost, they can only fight, when they can no longer fight, there is no need to survive.

However, if you want to understand Mamluk through them, it is still feasible, after all, castrated knights, if they have not entered their twilight years, are much stronger than knights who have not been castrated, whether to help or not, it is up to you. ”

Tie Xinyuan helped Mu Xin make the bed, and after he lay down, he immediately took his three mares, and asked Xu Dongsheng to ask for two camels and four servants, and hurried to Mu Xin's direction where they came.

Six slave knights, even knights who have passed their prime, if they don't recruit at this time, when will they be recruited? (To be continued.) )
