Chapter 62: The Desert
A hand suddenly stretched out in the yellow sand, and five fingers were reduced to five chopsticks, and that hand grabbed a few times in the void, but it didn't touch anything except a cloud of slippery air.
Yu Lang sat up from the yellow sand, spat out the sand in his mouth, and gasped. He felt something awkward on his back, reached out and touched it, only to find that it was Kudoza, who was half-dead.
Kudoza was woken up by the movement of the remaining waves, and subconsciously muttered a few sentences, like a child who was very angry when he got up.
Yu Lang couldn't help laughing when he saw Kudoza: "Why are you so thin, you can't even tell the skin and bones." ”
Kudoza also struggled to sit up, and snorted coldly: "How good are you?" is as thin as a monkey. ”
These two people have run out of oil at the moment, don't say that an ordinary person, even the kid in the Western Capital City can slaughter this pair of masters in the upper three realms with one sword. Yu Lang knew about his family's affairs, and found that Kudoza did not show hostility after he was alive, but left room for maneuver. Kudoza is not like this, just speak coldly, and he does not dare to anger Yu Lang easily, he was carried by this madman and ran for thousands of miles, destroying and decaying all the way, and I don't know how many buildings were damaged, Kudoza was very afraid of this young man in his heart.
Yu Lang licked his pale lips: "It would be nice if I could have saliva to drink." ”
"Dreaming." Kudoza meditated to accumulate some internal breath, but found that there was no movement in his body, so he had to give up.
Yu Lang's eyes were sharp, and he saw a caravan walking out of the horizon, there were at least dozens of people and a dozen camels carrying goods in the caravan, and he just wanted to shout loudly but was covered by Kudoza.
"What do you do? It's not because the caravan is full of Tang people, I'm afraid that I will let them slaughter you after I join them, don't worry, if I want to kill you, I will wait for the two of us to recover and then fight, I will not fake others and take advantage of the danger of others. ”
Kudoza shook his head: "Don't be impulsive, bow down first, look over there, there is a group of sand bandits hidden in the sand over there, this caravan is afraid that it will be difficult to protect itself." ”
Yu Lang looked fixedly, and indeed saw that there seemed to be a group of strongmen hidden in the sand dunes in the distance, and his heart was still this old thing's heart thief, and he was still so cautious at this juncture.
Although their cultivation was lost, the five senses of these two people were still keen, and when they were concentrated, all the movements in the distance were in their ears and eyes.
The bandits wore yellow turbans and carried scimitars.
"Big brother, I see that there are seven or eight warriors with swords in that caravan, they should be the good hands they hired to protect the goods, and they all have cultivation above the hundred refining realm, I am afraid that we will not be able to get a bargain if we rush out. Idea prickly, or don't you forget it? A small, clever sand bandit suggested aloud.
The eldest brother with two mustaches shook his head: "Our water and dry food are almost consumed, if we don't rob them, we may not be able to wait for the next group of caravans, besides, the lord of the country is in a hurry, this group of caravans should have the five-colored jade that the lord of the country needs, we have to fight!" ”
This group of sand bandits spoke the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't know who the lord of the country was referring to, and they would not use such a strange title for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Kudoza explained: "This group of sand bandits should be hired by the lord of the small Bolu country, this person's practice of the five mysteries, need to absorb a large number of five-colored jade, other small countries in the Western Regions will pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year this five-color jade, these small countries themselves are weak in force, generally will hand over the jade to the Tang caravan to bring back to the local Jiedu envoys, and the Jiedu envoys will take advantage of it and then hand it over to the Tang Emperor." The lord of the little Bolu country had a crooked idea, and he didn't dare to send his own soldiers to make a move, so he hired a warrior from the Tang Dynasty to pretend to be a sand bandit to rob the five-colored jade. ”
"If this kind of thing happens from time to time, it should be difficult to hide it, this place should belong to me The Tang Shuo Fang Jie Du envoy An Sishun, can he sit idly by?"
"Hehe, you don't have any experience in this doll, the lord of the little Bolu country naturally gave that An Sishun ten times the benefit. This An Sishun is not a good thing, relying on this to repeatedly open his mouth to the lord of the little Bolu country. "After all, Kudozha is a national teacher of Tubo, and the intelligence system in his hand is very perfect, so this kind of secret naturally can't escape his ears and eyes.
Yu Lang felt sarcastic: "I didn't expect you to care more about my Tang state affairs than our Majesty." ”
Kudoza's expression was calm: "It's not that my Tubo intelligence system is stronger than your Tang Emperor, it's just that there are too many villains in front of the Son of Heaven to help him plug his ears, and he can't see or hear it." Even I, the Tibetan Zanpu (monarch), can only know what I want him to know. ”
"A good means for a national teacher." Yu Lang gave Kudoza a thumbs up.
"You kid, sooner or later you will enter the center of the Tang Court, I will teach you to be obedient, first, never pin things on the divine wisdom of the Son of Heaven - even if he was once wise, living in flattery and flattery all day long, his judgment will eventually be greatly affected, and second, don't take the Son of Heaven as a fool, especially your Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, sometimes when he suddenly sobers up, the sky will fall apart."
Yu Lang thought of something interesting: "If you, the old fox, become my Tang Dynasty teacher, I don't know if you can fight the treacherous Li Linfu, with you as an enemy, I'm afraid he won't be able to cover the sky in the court with one hand, right?" ”
Kudoza disagreed: "If you want to talk about cultivation, I will slap this fly to death, but if you want to say that you are playing with your heart in the court, who can fight this old fox with a honey-bellied sword?" I heard that if you talk to him, you won't be able to eat for three days. ”
Yu Lang laughed silently.
Kudoza suddenly rolled his eyes, and lowered his body again: "Don't say it, that gang of sand bandits is going to do it." ”
The leader of the sand bandits raised his right hand and made an offensive gesture, and the fifty-three sand bandits dressed in khaki clothes all approached the caravan quickly.
There were indeed many good men in the caravan, and when the bandits were still hundreds of paces away, they were already aware of it, and shouted "enemy attack", and the weak people hid behind their camels, while the guards and able-bodied men waited with their swords in hand.
The two teams fought each other in close quarters. There were a large number of sand bandits, and the caravan guards were highly cultivated, and the fight was inextricable for a while.
In the eyes of Yu Lang and Kudoza, this level of duel is like an ant fight, so boring, what is depressing is that at this moment they are not even as good as ants, Yu Lang has the heart to help teach the sand bandits a lesson, but he can't do it.
The leader of the sand bandits shouted violently, kicked over the two guards in a row, and the cultivation of the peak of the hundred refinements was undoubtedly revealed, and he went straight to the goods on the camel.
A delicate sword rested on the neck of the bandit leader.
Yu Lang suddenly had a dry mouth, but Ai Ai couldn't say a word.
Kudoza frowned: "Old man? ”
Yu Lang finally spit out those two words: "Ning Xue." ”
