Chapter 52: A snake can't do without a head
In the twilight evening, in the light snow that was falling one after another, Trist, who was standing in front of the camp of horse thieves, looked at the young general who came alone on horseback, and the sentimentality in his vein, which originated from the bard's father, flares up: Ah! The brave young general went to the enemy camp alone and subdued the five thousand horse thieves, which is really a legend worth singing!
Well, there is such a bearing, it must be from a famous family of the empire! Seeing the calm face of Li Ang who came on horseback, Trist thought of it in his heart and greeted him.
"Your Excellency, you are finally here." Trist smiled, came to Li Ang, bowed, and performed an authentic Han salute, and the horse thieves behind him looked at Li Ang, who was sitting on a horse and looked down at them coldly, and lowered their heads.
Over the past 150 years, the invincible Great Qin Legion has long become a myth, and there have been countless powerful figures on the grassland, but in the end, in front of the Great Qin Legion, all of them have become a cup of loess, and there is no glory at all.
"These are your sincerity! What about the thieves? Leon looked at the group of horse thieves behind Trist, with their heads down, his tone was contemptuous, but those horse thieves who didn't dare to raise their heads felt that they should be, this is what a general of Great Qin should be.
"Go and tell them to get out of here and see me at once, or else we'll see each other." The cold voice sounded, and no one dared to refute it, and the leaders and henchmen who were among them all secretly ran back to the big tent.
Trist stood there in a daze, looking at Leon with a frosty face, and suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression, and his hand couldn't help but be placed behind him.
"I have a friend in Anxi, his name is Ma Jun." Li Ang operated the reins with one hand, held the horizontal knife in his waist with the other, stared at Trist with a smile on his face, and said quietly, "He once told me that businessmen doing business on the Silk Road are not simple!" ”
"Hehe..."Trist's frozen smile flowed again, "Honorable Lord..."
"Your hands are a pair of hands that touch knives." Glancing at Trist with his hands hidden behind him, Leon smiled, but in Trist's eyes, that smile was no different from the devil's smile, and he suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.
"A snake can't do without a head." Leon glanced at the horse thief camp in the distance and said to Trist, "I'm here to cut off the head of the snake, but I lack a helper just in case of an accident." ”
Under the cold gaze of Li Ang, Trist put it behind his waist, and the green tendons on the back of his hand holding the hilt of the knife jumped suddenly, and the face in front of him that looked down made him feel like he was being stared at by a tiger in the darkness.
Soon, a fine sweat appeared on Trist's forehead, and at this time, a noisy and noisy voice came from the horse thief camp behind him, "Honorable lord, please accept my respect." The smile on Trist's face was replaced by solemn solemnity, and he bowed to Leon with his hands hidden behind his back in front of his chest.
"I accept your respect, citizen of Rome." Leon nodded at Tris, also clasping his hands to his chest.
Rushing to hit the horse, the leaders of the horse thieves looked at the man in front of him with a look full of complaints, if he hadn't said that he couldn't lose his face and let the Roman fan receive the general, how could they be so embarrassed now. Far away, the five horse thieves saw Leon in a black coat get off his horse, and they only got off the saddle and ran over with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Looking at the five horse thief leaders in front of him, Li Ang's gaze swept over their faces one by one, and said coldly, "Let's go!" ”
The five horse thief leaders were stunned, they didn't expect that after running over, they heard such a sentence, but they didn't dare to get angry, so they only accompanied Xiao to lead the way in front and did what the little pawns did.
The road to the main tent of the big camp is not far, but it is not close, along the way, the five horse thief leaders looked at Li Ang behind him, and they were secretly speculating about the identity of this young man, in their eyes, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he became an officer of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and eighty percent were the children of the nobles of the family.
Soon, the silent group entered the main tent, and Leon sat on the main seat, and Trist, who had been following him, stood behind him, and the five horse thief leaders saw that the golden retriever Roman had already stood still, and it was not easy to open his mouth to drive him out, and he had to stand there with him.
After watching the five horse thief leaders sit down, there was a person standing behind him, Li Ang smiled at the corner of his mouth, untied the horizontal knife in his waist, and put it aside, his actions made the five horse thief leaders nervous.
"You're ruining my military affairs." Li Ang opened his mouth, his eyes coldly swept the faces of the five horse thief leaders, "Nearly 150,000 gold baht of armor was robbed by the Turks, this crime is enough to cut off your heads a hundred times." ”
Li Ang's words made the five horse thief leaders feel cold in their hearts, and they all looked at Li Ang with a calm face, and the cronies behind him pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, and as long as they gave an order, they would cut the sitting Li Ang into meat sauce.
"Well, what, you want to kill me!" Li Ang glanced at the person who pressed the knife behind the five horse thief leaders, his eyes narrowed, and the slender slit revealed a cold glow, and said to the five horse thief leaders.
The five horse thief leaders were swept away by Leon's gaze, and immediately fidgeted, and drank away from the cronies behind them, their hearts trembling, cursing the damned Turks, not knowing what to say.
"All of you here, you won't come to Bitterwater Town for no reason to ruin my military affairs, right?" Li Ang's cold face suddenly softened, "I wonder if you have been deceived by someone and carried the black pot for others." ”
"The general is right, we are all deceived by those Turks, if we know that the general is in Kushui Town, borrow our ten guts, we will not dare to disturb your old man's military affairs." It was a middle-aged man who spoke, and he was extremely thin. As soon as he spoke, the other four horse thief leaders all echoed together, and the corners of Leon's mouth curled up when he saw it.
"The five of them shouldn't be in a group!" Li Ang suddenly interrupted them and said with a smile, "I don't know who picked the head and brought everyone together, is it the Turks, or one of the five?" ”
As soon as Li Ang's words came out, the extremely thin middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and the other four horse thief leaders also immediately figured out the meaning of Li Ang's words, and opened their mouths almost at the same time.
"General, he asked us to come." "General, this incident has nothing to do with us." "General, we all fell for him." "I have long seen that something is wrong with him, he must be a spy of the Turks."
Listening to the four horse thief leaders pointing at the man's nose and scolding at the same time, Leon laughed, and Trist behind him strode to the mouth of the tent like lightning, and the double knives were slashed out from behind, and in an instant they staggered through the throat of the thin man's henchman's guard, sealing the way out.
"Don't fall for him, he is dividing and disintegrating us, I am dead, and you will be next." Looking at the four horse thief leaders surrounding him, the middle-aged thin man shouted.
"The accounts of the Turks, the emperor will settle accounts with them, but among you, someone must come out to confess, otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the above." Li Ang glanced at the four horse thief leaders who stopped and looked at the fallen corpse at the mouth of the tent, and said to himself lightly.
The four horse thieves looked at each other, pointed at the thin man, and shouted. "General, it's him, he's a spy of the Turks." "Let's take down this spy for you." "You are a shameless person, although we are thieves, but we are also the people of Great Qin, how can we do treason." "Phew, you traitor, suffer death!"
Listening to the four horse thief leaders righteously accuse their companions who were still friends, Li Ang slowly stood up, looked at the thin man with a dead face and was trapped in the center, and said, "I'll give you a chance, and if you win the knife in my hand, I'll let you go!" ”
"Really." The thin man who was surrounded already had the heart of death, and made up his mind to take the four unrighteous people on the road together, and when he heard Li Ang's words, he couldn't help but feel alive again.
"I don't care to lie to people like you." Li Ang slowly pulled out his horizontal knife and pointed at the thin man, with a cold expression, as if he was only pointing at a dead man.
The four horse thief leaders led their henchmen out of the way, and in the big tent, Leon and the thin man confronted each other coldly.
"Die!" With a low shout, the horse chopping knife in the thin man's waist slashed out a whistling wind and went straight towards Li Ang.
Li Ang sneered, the enemy in front of him had long lost the fighting spirit of death, and he was impetuous, and he was not his enemy.
The horse thieves in the tent looked stupid, they didn't expect the young general in front of them to shoot so sharply. One knife to seal the throat, one knife to seal the throat! The horse chopping knife in the thin man's hand fell to the ground, he covered his throat, his eyes stared at Li Ang, who was still in the sheath, his face was shocked, he slowly knelt on the ground and fell.
Li Ang looked at the remaining four horse thief leaders, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said to them, "By the way, also, you have ruined my military affairs, and you have to accompany me for the 150,000 gold baht." ”
"The general is right, he is right." The four horse thief leaders were shocked by Li Ang's amazing sword, how dare they say nothing, but their faces were bitter.
"The ownerless things in Kushui Town, I think the least I want to say is more than 100,000 gold baht." Li Ang looked at the four horse thief leaders who were about to leave, and suddenly said, "As for the one you are missing, you can ask him for it." Glancing at the dead people on the ground, Li Ang muttered to himself, "Although the first evil has been removed, but the wings are not clear, I think the four of you should know how to do it!" ”
Listening to Li Ang's words, the eyes of the four horse thief leaders lit up, the thin man who died was the largest of the five of them, and he usually robbed a lot of property, and now that he was dead, the four of them joined forces to swallow his things, maybe they could make a small profit, thinking of this, the four faces they were suffering from laughed again.
"The general is wise, we will definitely ******** and will not tolerate it!" The four of them glanced at each other, said to Li Ang at the same time, and then withdrew from the big tent.
