Chapter 885: Killed
An Oghuz centurion stepped forward to look at Chang Le, heard him look like a Han man, and asked, "Han, who are you?" Why are you here? If you didn't kill these people, then who killed them? ”
Chang Le hurriedly said: "Centurion, my name is Chang Le, I am an officer of the Western Qin Army, and I have a nameplate around my neck!" I can show it to you! As he spoke, Chang Le took out the military identity plate hidden on his chest with one hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Centurion Oghuz leaned up and looked at it, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Who did this? ”
Chang Le said: "There is a team of our Western Qin fishers who are about to escort the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire back, on the bank of the Yaozhishui River, they found that someone is following them, and the people who are following them are all big cannibals, these people are aiming to kill the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire, and then blame the Western Qin, provoking the war between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Qin, and the big cannibals can take advantage of the fishermen." The hunters who led the team found them, and then decided to change the route of their advance, they gave up going to Aralsk, intending to go south around the Aral Sea through Oghuz and Khorizm, to the military port on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, those big cannibals soon found that their target turned south, so they chased after them, the big cannibals had more than a dozen people, and they also hired more than thirty mercenaries, a total of nearly fifty people, they stopped here and killed everyone here, and when they left, they robbed all the valuable goods and food. My mission was to catch up with the group of predators, and to take them to Aralsk in search of the garrison, and ask the garrison to send troops to escort them, but they temporarily changed the route and asked me to continue north to Aralsk to find the garrison, and I followed the trails they left here, and as soon as I arrived here, I found out that the cannibals and mercenaries were slaughtering the inhabitants here, and that's how it happened."
Centurion Oghuz wondered, "What you said is true?" ”
Chang Le asked rhetorically, "Centurion, in your Oghuz, if a person lies, how will the gods punish him?" ”
The centurion said: "It will make his tongue rot, he will no longer be able to speak, and finally his intestines will rot and he will die!" ”
Chang Le immediately said: "If I lie, I will also be punished like this!" I swear by the honor of my military man, every word I say is true! Besides, if I killed these, would I still stay here? I'd long since I fled, and I couldn't have killed so many people by myself! The gods can testify! ”
"Well, I'll trust you for now, but if I find out you're lying to me, I'll make you regret it!" Captain Oghuz stared at Chang Le and said viciously, and then arranged for one of his subordinates to return to the tribe to bring reinforcements.
Oghuz centurion pointed at Changle again: "You lead the way, which direction they go, we will pursue!" ”
Chang Le was overjoyed, and was worried that he couldn't find a rescuer, but he didn't expect such a team of people to come to the door, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll take you to pursue!" ”
After Chang Le finished speaking, he immediately turned on his horse and chased in the direction where the big cannibals and mercenaries had left, and the Oghuz soldiers followed him closely under the leadership of the centurion.
Ma Kun's temporary change of route not only prevented Chang Le from successfully completing the mission, but also disrupted the plan of the big cannibals, which made them prepare insufficient food and water, and they had to loot the residences and herdsmen of Oghuz along the way, and all the settlements were looted along the way, these are the traces they left behind, and at the same time, it is also convenient for Chang Le and others to pursue.
On the fifth day, some corpses appeared in a desert basin with high sides and low in the middle, and when Chang Le saw the clothes of the corpses from a distance, his face changed drastically, and he immediately galloped away.
More than a dozen corpses lay motionless on the sand, horses and camels were missing, and some clothing and household items were scattered around.
Stopping at the side of the corpse, Chang Le quickly turned over and dismounted, he immediately ran to Julius's side, Yurius had already separated his head, his head was on the side, his eyes were still wide, and he was extremely frightened before he died, and next to him was the body of his attendant, a huge wound almost cut the corpse in two.
Eight fast corpses lying horizontally, Chang Le knew that the matter was big, he immediately inspected the patrol corpses under the gaze of more than a hundred Oghuz soldiers, in addition to the patrol corpses, there were actually five corpses of Western Qin people on the ground, which made Chang Le puzzled.
"Shhh
Chang Le quickly turned his head to look over, only to see the sound of a patrol corpse that had not yet been checked, he immediately walked over, squatted down to check this person, a wound from the left shoulder to the right rib, the blood had coagulated, and the cowhide armor on his body was completely cut open.
Chang Le found that there was a head-catching waist tag hanging on this person's waist, and immediately determined that this person should be the shopkeeper Ma Kun, he immediately ran back to the horse, took off the water bag and healing supplies, and then ran back to pour a few mouthfuls of water on Ma Kun.
Ma Kun, who drank the water, opened his eyes and looked at Chang Le's eyes a little dazed, but quickly turned around, and his body reflexively wanted to grab the weapon, but Chang Le held him down: "Don't move, I'm not an enemy!" Your injuries are serious and need to be treated immediately! ”
Ma Kun asked weakly, "Who are you?" ”
Chang Le took out healing medicine and gauze from his body to treat Ma Kun's wounds, and said: "The above sent me to pick you up and go to Aralsk, and then contact the garrison to escort you to Crimea, but you temporarily changed the route of progress, I can only follow your traces to find here, but I didn't expect to be a step late!" ”
Ma Kun was remorseful, looking like a dead father: "This is over, Julius is dead, and the Eastern Roman Empire will definitely think that we killed him, and the two countries will inevitably be tense at that time!" I ・・・・・・ I became a sinner in Western Qin, because we didn't protect Julius! You might as well let me die! ”
Chang Le's movements in his hands did not stop, and he comforted in his mouth: "The matter is not as serious as you said, the Eastern Roman Empire will not launch a warrior against my Western Qin just for one person, and Julius is not important to this extent!" And you can't have an accident, if you're all dead, how can we uncover the conspiracy of the Great Cannibals? Know that you are a witness to this conspiracy! Besides, things haven't gotten as bad as you say, and if we can catch those big cannibals and mercenaries, the whole thing will be reversed! ”
Ma Kun listened to Chang Le's words, his eyes immediately regained his strength, and he said in high spirits: "Yes, yes!" You're right, we have to catch those big cannibals and mercenaries! ”
Speaking of this, Ma Kun looked at the sun in the sky and immediately said: "It's still too late to pursue them, they should leave for less than an hour, as long as we chase them quickly, we can catch up with them!" ”
Chang Le was about to speak, and the Oghuz centurion shouted: "Chang Li, this place has entered the realm of Flower Thorn Zim, we can't stay here for a long time, if it is discovered by the Swift Rangers of Flower Thorn Zim, we will be in trouble!" ”
I was really afraid of something, and as soon as the Oghuz centurion Gayao finished speaking, a group of horsemen with flowers and thorns appeared on the sand dunes on the right, and these people drew their weapons one after another, ready to rush this way.
Ga Yao was shocked and immediately ordered: "Everyone is ready to meet the enemy!" ”
Under the order of Ga Yao, the Oghuz cavalry began to set up a formation and prepare for battle, and Chang Lexin said: "It's broken! He immediately stood up and shouted, "Gayao Centurion, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, put down your weapon!" I'll go and negotiate with their leaders, and you don't move where you are!" ”
After speaking, Chang Le ran to the horse, untied his weapon and threw it on the ground, then turned over and ran to the flower thorn cavalry on the sand dune on the right, and at the same time took out the white towel from his arms to wipe his sweat and held it up and shook it non-stop.
Ma Kun and Ga Yao, as well as more than a hundred Oghuz cavalry under his command, saw Chang Le running close and said something to the leading Flowerthorn Zim cavalry, and then saw the Flowery Zim cavalry put down their bows and arrows and weapons at the order of their leader, and then everyone trotted over the sand dunes together.
Chang Le rode his horse and trotted over to Ga Yao and said: "Ga Yao centurion, let me introduce you, this is the Manluo centurion of the Turk Department of Flower Thorn Zim, he already knows the whole story and what happened, and promised to help chase the escaped big cannibals and mercenaries, after all, the matter happened in the territory of Flower Thorn Zim, if they really want to be investigated, they can't escape responsibility, so they have the obligation to help, what do you say?" Will you lead the group back to Oghuz, or will you pursue it with us? If you want to lead the team back, I won't stop you, after all, this is not the realm of Oghuz, and you will have a lot of inconvenience here! ”
Ga Yao Zhengse said: "The big cannibals and those mercenaries have killed so many of our clansmen, how can I let them escape, this is not the style of the Oghuz warriors!" As long as the friends of Flowerthorn don't mind us chasing the Great Cannibals and those mercenaries on their realm, we'll chase them to the end until we catch them! ”
"Well, thank you! They left behind horseshoe prints and tracks when they left, they were heading south, I guess they want to escape back to the Great Food Country, we must pursue them immediately, if they escape back to the territory of the Great Food Country, it will be difficult for us to catch them again! ”
After the corpses were collected and preserved, the three parties immediately set off to the south to pursue together, and on the way to pursue, Chang Le asked Ma Kun: "In addition to you people, how come there are five corpses of Western Qin people?" Looking at how they look like mercenaries, could it be that they have internal strife? ”
Ma Kun said: "The big cannibals and mercenaries said some words before they started with us, and from those words, I can tell that those mercenaries should not have known in advance that there are us who are going to kill, so some of them don't want to do it, among them are the five Western Qin people, they said they were determined not to do it, but the big cannibal immediately killed the five Western Qin people who were resolutely unwilling to do it, and then raised the price to induce the remaining mercenaries to change their minds!" ”
"I see!"
