Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 20 Yao Chong of the Qiang People

Adou was indeed very worried about whether Pu Lin would keep his promise back then. []

Seeing that Pu Kang saw through his thoughts, Adou smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, after all, so much time has passed, and things are wrong, and I am very worried that Pu Lin will not keep his promise back then." ”

"En......" Pu Kang pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, and I don't dare to guarantee it." When our father died, Pu Lin was just a child, and he probably didn't even know about the Wusun Golden Knife. ”

Listening to Pu Kang's words, Adou's heart was even more gloomy, if it was really as Pu Kang said, Pu Lin didn't even know about the Wusun Golden Knife, how could he let Pu Lin help him repel the Qiang people!

"Mr. Liu, in fact, I think it's not impossible for Mr. Liu to say that Pu Lin wants to move." Pu Kang suddenly interjected.

"Mr. Pu Kang, please speak, listen to me." Adou hurriedly said.

"Pu Lin has been familiar with you Han since he was a child. The classics are also quite familiar with you Han people, and many times Pu Lin's style of acting is also very similar to that of you Han people. Forgive me for saying something unpleasant, if you want to say that Pu Lin is moving, Mr. Liu needs to lure him with a profit......" Pu Kang said here, smiling and not going on.

Pu Kang's words are tactful, let's talk about Pu Lincong first. Xiao is familiar with reading Han classics, his style is very similar to that of Han people, and then let Adou lure him with profit, which contains another meaning, that is, Han people value profit, Pu Lin does things like Han people, and he is also a person who values profit, so let Adou lure him with profit.

Although Pu Kang's words alluded to the Han people's heavy profits, Adou didn't care about this. Instead, Adou began to think about how much he needed to spend before he could move Pu Lin. And Pu Lin is worth the price he has to pay.

"Mr. Pu, how far is it from the Xianbei Wangbu you mentioned?" Adou suddenly asked.

"From here, it only takes four days to ride a fast horse and walk the main road. The husband will be able to enter the realm of our royal tribe. It's just that this big road, along the way, there will be many tribes of the Qiang people, and several of them are very large, and these Qiang people will be some trouble. And if you take a detour, you can avoid most of the Qiang people, but it will take ten days to get to the king's department. Pu Kang replied.

Adou thought for a moment and said, "The battle ahead is urgent, and it can be fast. Day by day, I'll take the big road. ”

"In that case, I'm a horse. Mr. Liu drew a map. After Pu Kang finished speaking, he picked up the pen and wrote on the paper.

"Mr. Liu, I should have accompanied Mr. Liu in the next year, but I was ashamed of my clansmen, and now I really don't have the face to go back."

Adou nodded, the fight between the Pu Kang brothers almost caused the disaster of extermination, maybe Pu Kang has been living in guilt for decades. Maybe Pu Kang's people have already forgiven Pu Kang, but it seems that Pu Kang has not forgiven himself. This burden has been pressed on Pu Kang's heart for so many years, and it will not be able to be lifted in a while. The so-called heart disease also requires heart medicine, and this kind of thing can only be solved by Pu Kang himself.

……

"Village Chief, we're back!" The shout rang out from the entrance of the village, and it was the strong men in the village who had gone to hide from the Qiang people who had returned.

The old village chief also came out, and when he saw these strong men in the village, a smile appeared on his face: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back...... Go home and rest for a while, and we'll leave this afternoon. ”

"Village Chief, where are we going?" One of them asked.

"This time, let's go farther and go to a place where there are no Qiang people. Let's go to Liangzhou! ”

"Mr. Pu Kang, are you going to leave like this? Why don't you set it up? Adou asked.

"Setup?" Pu Kang was slightly stunned, and then said: "Mr. Liu, I don't understand, please give me advice." ”

"All the people in your village are gone, leaving this empty village, if the Qiang people come, they will understand when they see this empty village, you have fled from the village. Maybe the Qiang people will chase after them immediately. Adou said, looked at the old and weak women and children, and then said: "Now there are only a few dozen horses in your village, and you have brought a lot of old and weak women and children. ”

Pu Kang nodded suddenly, and at the same time said eagerly: "Please Mr. Liu for some advice." ”

"Mr. Pu Kang, I think you should leave this village less before you leave, and then smash some unnecessary things, and sprinkle some blood stains of cattle on the ground, so as to create the illusion that the village has been slaughtered by horse thieves, so that the Qiang people will not chase after them. Also, the corpses of the Qiang people a few days ago also took this opportunity to burn them, the horse thieves slaughtered the village, and it is always unreasonable to say that there are no corpses. Adou said.

"Good idea, I'll send someone to set it up right away." The village chief said, turning around and leaving.

……

After the raging fire, all that remained of the village was ruins.

"Click......" A coke-fired beam could not support the pressure, broke apart, and smashed to the ground, followed by a gray-black scorched dust rose into the air, dancing in the air, refusing to fall for a long time.

There were still a few slight flames in some places that were not extinguished, swaying in the breeze and holding on. A few wisps of green smoke rose from the side, and when they encountered the clay tiles that had been burned black by the fire, they split into two strands, slowly rising upwards, and finally faded and disappeared into the air.

In the corner of the wall, a pool of blood has been burned dry by the surrounding fire, and the red blood stains are mixed with the gray-black scorched earth, which looks particularly desolate.

A few sturdy horses were parked at the entrance of the village, and all the horses were Qiang knights.

A Qiang man stepped down from his horse, came to the corner of the wall, looked at the blood stains stuck to the corner, and frowned slightly. The blood had already been dried and mixed with scorched earth, making it difficult to tell if it was human or not.

"Bad luck ......" The Qiang man stood up with an unhappy face, and shouted at the Qiang man on the horse behind him: "This seems to be done by a horse thief!" ”

"Well, I look like it!" A Qiang man didn't bother to look at it again, just pointed ahead with his finger and said, "This must have been done by the horse thief, and it can't be wrong." ”

"These horse thieves are really hateful, they burned down the whole village, should we go back and reorganize the army and exterminate these horse thieves?" The other spoke.

"Exterminate the horse thief? No need. The Naqiang man spoke.

"Why? These horse thieves have burned down the villages of the Di people today, and maybe tomorrow they will rob our tribe's livestock. The Qiang man next to him spoke.

"You're overthinking. It's been autumn for a while, and in four or five days, we'll be moving to the pastures in the south, and there's no need to put in any more effort to exterminate the horse thieves. Besides, those horse thieves have always acted quickly, coming and going without a trace, whether we can find them is another matter. The named Qiang man patted the horse lightly as he spoke, and said to the person next to him: "Let's go, let's go back, my mother-in-law may have already cooked a meal, go back to eat a hot meal, and drink a bowl ......of hot goat's milk, what is more comfortable than anything."

……

"Drive ......" Adou patted the horse gently, looked ahead, and suddenly a fork in the road appeared in front of him.

"It's the intersection again!" Adou stopped his horse, took out the map drawn by Pu Kang from his arms, and looked at it carefully.

"It should be to the right...... However, according to the picture depicted on this map, if you go to the right, you will pass through the sphere of influence of a large Qiang tribe. Adou frowned slightly: "I hope I don't run into any trouble." Adou patted the horse lightly and continued to walk forward.

After only walking seven or eight miles, he saw a group of people appear in front of Adou's eyes. Most of them were on horseback, and the remaining forty or so were walking on the ground.

Walking into some of them, Adou saw that the people riding horses were all dressed as Qiang people, and the people walking on the ground were both men and women, all of them were ragged and all had ropes tied to their bodies.

"Smack!" There was a whip sound.

"Hurry up for me!" A Qiang man shouted, followed by another whip.

"Oops!" An old man accidentally fell to the ground, and the Qiang people behind him immediately stepped forward, raised the whip in his hand, and whipped it fiercely.

"Stand up for me!" The Qiang man shouted, and at the same time several whips went up one after another, and the old man was beaten and rolled on the ground, and gradually, the old man's body stopped rolling.

"Don't play dead for me, get up!" The whip in the Qiang man's hand still didn't stop, and he slammed it towards the old man. After more than a dozen lashes, the old man still did not move.

The Qiang people got off the horse, kicked the old man's body over, and then looked at the old man carefully, and pouted slightly: "Dead...... Hmph, it's really not beaten! The Qiang man said, kicking the old man's body to the side of the road.

"Third uncle!" A big man rushed up from behind, but then fell to the ground.

"Hmph, if you go over, I won't let you go!" At this time, Adou saw clearly that the fallen man still had a thick iron chain around his neck, and the other end of the chain was in the hands of a Qiang cavalryman. Just when the big man rushed forward, the Qiang cavalry inertly pulled backwards and dragged the big man to the ground.

"Third uncle!" The big man got up from the ground, but the Qiang people behind him struck hard again, and then slapped the horse under the crotch fiercely. The horses immediately rushed forward.

"Ahh The big man screamed, and then was dragged down by the iron chain attached to his neck, while the Qiang cavalry pulled the iron chain and ran forward.

Dahan was dragged like this, rolling on the ground, and in order to prevent being strangled, Dahan had to use both hands to pull the iron chain around his neck.

"Hahahaha, drive ...... The Qiang man on the ...... horse looked back and saw the big man rolling on the ground, laughed happily, and at the same time slapped the horse vigorously.

The Qiang people rushed straight forward and rushed towards Adou.

"Boy, get out of the way!" The Qiang people also saw Adou in front of him, and with a wave of his horsewhip, he rushed past Adou.

Immediately afterwards, the big man on the ground was also dragged past Adou, and at the moment when he passed by Adou's side, the big man suddenly stretched out his legs, one stood up, and his body jumped up violently, and then his legs hooked Adou's horse's neck in a flash.

Adou's horse let out a long roar, obviously frightened by Dahan's move, and then Adou's horse involuntarily pushed forward.

The Qiang people in front of "Uh......" have always been holding the iron chain with one hand, and now they are so strong by the horsepower of Adou's horses that they can't help but let go.

Then the big man threw himself up, lifted his feet off the horse's neck, and rolled up from the ground with his hands as he landed on the ground, and then fastened the chain around his neck in his hand.

"Good kung fu!" Adou sighed lightly, he couldn't imagine that this ragged man's kung fu was so powerful, and the reaction just now was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.

"Yao Chong, do you want to die?" Just now, the Qiang cavalry said viciously at the big man.

The big man named Yao Chong took a slight breath and shouted: "Hmph, you people come up together, I, Yao Chong, am afraid that you will not succeed." ”

"Haha, Yao Chong, I know you are powerful, among our Qiang people, who doesn't know the name of your Yao Chong's ten thousand enemies? But look over there! The Qiang cavalry pointed to the ragged men behind him, and then said, "Those are your family, believe it or not, we will kill them now!" ”

The Qiang people behind responded and pulled out their knives, making it look like they were going to cut people.

"Stop!" Yao Chong shouted, let go of the chain in his hand with a helpless face, gritted his teeth and said: "You Cherrigi lackeys, one day, I, Yao Chong, will give you a good look!" ”

"Hey......" Yao Chong's last sentence was very quiet, but Adou was very clear, from the conversation between the few people just now, Adou knew that this big man named Yao Chong was also a Qiang person, and he was still a powerful figure among the Qiang people. At the same time, this person Yao Chong is also Cherrigie's opponent.

"Do you want to save them?" Adou began to ponder.

At this time, the Qiang cavalry also rushed to the front of the big man, whipped it, and scolded with the same mouth: "Let you run!" If you have the ability, you can run again! If you run again, you will now take the lives of your people!" ”

After the Qiang man finished speaking, he looked at his palm, and just now, the Qiang man's palm had been slid out of a bloody mark by the iron chain.

The Qiang people pursed their lips, waited viciously for Adou, pointed at Adou with a horsewhip, and said hatefully: "Boy, if it wasn't for you just now, my palm wouldn't have hurt!" I see that your horse is good, if you know each other, you will leave the horse, which can be regarded as compensation to the uncle, otherwise...... Hum! ”

When the Qiang people said this, they whipped Yao Chong again.

"Hey!" Adou sighed slightly, he was still hesitating whether to save this Yao Chong, and this Qiang man rushed over to trouble him, it seems that God wants to save this Yao Chong.

Thinking of this, Adou had a smile on his face: "If you want my horse, I'll give it to you!" ”

"Count you as acquaintances!" The Qiang people said that they were going to come and lead the horses.

"Wait a minute!" Adou raised his hand, and then said: "The horse can be given to you, but it depends on whether you have the life to take it......"
