While Lao Luo was resting leisurely, after a short period of calm in the city of Herat, chaos arose again.

Ashina Duval returned to the courtyard where the flames had just been extinguished, his scarlet eyes staring angrily at the remaining blood stains on the bluestone floor, where the fur that had once been used to pave the floor had just been removed, because it was soaked with blood, and the blood on the ground had not yet had time to scrub because there were no hands.

"What do you say? The Sogdians in the southern city rebelled? ”

"Yes, Your Highness. At first, there were only about 1,000 people, but many people responded to them...... Now it is estimated that there are at least five or six thousand people. "Standing in front of Duval and speaking was his henchman Selengar, the defender of Herat.

"Then you don't go to suppress it, what are you doing standing in front of me?" Duval was annoyed, but he didn't know if it was appropriate to send his anger to his henchmen at this time, Selengar was a loyal man, but he was not talented enough to hold the position of the defender, and his ascension to the position was entirely Duval's move to better control Herat.

"Your Highness, five or six thousand people followed the Sogdians to rebel, the garrison of the city is understaffed, although the chaos of the six divisions outside the city has stopped, but their military rations have also been destroyed, and several leaders of the six divisions are blocking the door and asking to see you, isn't it ......" Selengar actually has some scheming, but he doesn't dare to make a decision easily.

Duval calmed down, Selengar said messily, but he understood that this was all caused by those who attacked the night before, once the long-standing contradictions were out of balance, he should not be the lord of the city, the Ashina family no longer had the glory of the past, and the reputation of empty vernacular was far less than the deterrent power of scimitar spears.

That's right, although Duval is greedy for money and lustful, and he doesn't have the ambition of his ancestors, as a descendant of the Ashina family, he certainly knows the importance of power. said that he had no ambitions, but because the Turkmen tribe was too powerful, he had to restrain his thoughts.

"What do the Sogdians want to do?" Duvall asked, staring at Selengar in front of him. Since this henchman dares to put down what he is doing and come back, it means that the chaos in the city is still under control.

"The Sogdians wanted a voice, and they were not willing to be slaves. However, they are not too demanding, as long as they are the same as the highlanders (Iranian highlanders). Selenger respectfully stated to his master.

Not too high? Duval could not help but sneer, human desires and hopes are endless, and at the moment they are not high, but as long as everything has a beginning, it will go on forever, and in the end the Sogdians will definitely demand the restoration of the glory of their people. But what does this request have to do with yourself? Their glory was suppressed by the Arabs and the Highlanders, and then by the Turkmen tribes, as long as he could control the land of Herat and turn the Sogdian desires into his own strength, what did he Duval have to worry about?

"Bring me the Sogdian leader!" Duval, who had figured it out, decisively ordered his henchmen that he no longer had the heart to think about Lao Luo's threat anymore, or that he subconsciously didn't dare to think that that tall, dark and murderous figure was an eternal nightmare in his heart.

To tell the truth, Ashina Duval's idea of evaluating the Sogdians can also be used for himself, more than a dozen families in the city of Herat have been robbed by Lao Luo, and the forces in the city have been out of balance, so Duval can have the opportunity to do things straight. It's just that one day he really takes control of Herat, will he let go easily? Would Mahmoud allow a power to emerge from the north that is not under his control?

Perhaps the quelling of a small mess is just the beginning of a bigger mess, and there is no shortage of wars in this land anyway.

Lao Luo didn't know about the intrigue within the Turks, and he wouldn't care if he knew. After resting for two or three hours without being disturbed, he went to check how the rescued people had been arranged.

The cave was specially tidied up, the ground was covered with thick fur, and more than thirty children no more than seven or eight years old were curled up and sleeping soundly on it, their originally dark and dirty faces were washed clean, and their bodies were also changed into loose robes that did not fit but were clean, and a few little ones were still snoring sweetly because of their inappropriate sleeping positions.

"These are the only orphans who have been rescued?" Lao Luo asked softly a few people who were following him, and the scholar Yan Songming was among them.

"No, General, there are a dozen or so children who are not here because they want to follow the people around them." Yan Songming was asked to cooperate with the counting of people before, so he had a clear understanding of the overall number of people.

Lao Luo waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out with him, he still likes children very much, and it is better not to disturb these little guys for now, "Go and see the others!" ”

He is not optimistic about some orphans being adopted, and how can people who can't even grasp their own fate protect the children around him? But there's nothing to say at this time, since those orphans are willing to follow the people around them, there must be a trust, and if you use forced methods to gather all the orphans together, it will only turn good things into bad things, so let's take our time.

In a cave hall with an interior area at least the size of a later football field, many rescued people gathered here. Although there was no rest all night, where did the people who had been slaves care about this little rest? They are not heartless wooden people, and the ups and downs of the years have long made them not believe that there are benefits in this world that fall out of thin air, and if it weren't for a few famous people suppressing them, they would have been shouting and talking about it.

Even so, someone is whispering to the people around him.

"Ge Laosan, what kind of general do you say, why did you save us? Not to mention that they are all Han Chinese, I don't believe that there are such good people in the world! A rugged man with loose hair whispered.

The man with a very terrifying scar on his face next to him also lowered his voice and replied, "I don't know, but Boss Guan and the elder general have spoken, what are people planning for us to do as a poor man?" I won't throw this meat into the pot to make soup and drink it! ”

"Phew, give you back that flesh? Do you have any flesh on you? Bones are too lazy to gnaw on wolves! A broken gong next to him teased in a hoarse voice.

"That's right, Ge Laosan, you don't have a set of clothes worth any if your bones are crushed!" Another broken gong interjected, but there was no way, and when I took a shower before noon, a group of excited guys almost didn't shout hoarse.

"Wolf cub, Wang Liuzi, you two bastards, look at my jokes, aren't you?" As soon as Ge Laosan was ruthless, the scars on his face kept twitching, and it looked very scary.

"Come on, Ge Laosan, you are not a good thing, when you were a groom, you stole forage, put a hanging tribulus thorn on your belly, and caused your young master in the house to break his leg, who doesn't know?" is called a wolf cub who is not afraid of Ge Laosan's scarred face, they are all guys who are in trouble together, and they usually have fun exposing each other's shortcomings on this point, what can't be said.

Ge Laosan put away the anger on his face, and laughed instead, although he laughed ugly, "You wolf cub is not a good thing, go out to let the horses go, when the wolf comes, pretend that the wolf bites the throats of a few people?" ”

"Not much, just three...... Shhhh The wolf cub stopped abruptly as he was bragging, and put away the smile on his face.

When Lao Luo walked into this cave hall, Guan Hexi happened to greet him, and the two spoke, Lao Luo planned to say a few words to these rescued people, which was a reassurance.

After a glance, I found that the men who were basically rescued were all in this place, and the ground was full of resting people, fortunately, they were covered with fur, and they didn't have to worry about getting cold, seeing that no one was really asleep, Lao Luo found a vacant high point, and he didn't need to be introduced to Guan Hexi, so he stood there and said loudly to the people around him: "A certain Luo Kaixian, whose ancestral home is Suizhou, Hexi, is now back from the extreme west, is the general of the Han people returning to the camp, and there are some conflicts with the Turkmen along the way, you are saved by a certain family." In the future, you will be a member of a certain family, and you will be selected as a soldier and a farmer, but there is one thing, a certain family also has the rules of a certain family, and I believe that Mr. Pingzhang will also tell you, so there is no need to elaborate, and those who can't bear it can leave now. ”

"A certain family" is more and more accustomed to the self-proclaimed Lao Luo, when he was in school, he didn't read less deductive novels, and what he hated the most was what was called a contemptible person, and he felt that a certain family was a hero.

As for sounding the alarm bell for these people, he didn't do it at will, he could survive as a slave under the hands of the Turks, which one didn't have any ability? These people can become sharp knives if they are used well, and if they are not used well, they will hurt themselves, don't expect a few good words to buy people's hearts, everything must start from little by little.

Most of the people who were rescued were eyebrows-raised, even some Caucasian people in the corner, although the words could not be fully understood, but the tall guy in front of him was their leader. As for saying that you can't stand the rules and leave? That's a joke, not to mention how to live after leaving, just with the fact that this Changren general's subordinates kill people in the Turkmen city like slaughtering chickens, can you leave easily?

Everyone thinks Lao Luo doesn't know, he doesn't have the ability to read minds, looking at the silent crowd, he continued: "Three days later, after the repair is over, a certain family will take you to the main camp of Mashhad, and you will return to the east together in the future, you are all subjects of a certain territory, and no one will treat you as slaves." There are bound to be jackals, tigers and leopards in the way along the way, so everyone is required to do their part, and there can be no idlers in the team. If you have any skills along the way, you can play whether you are a hero or a bear bastard! Do you hear you all? ”

"It's clear......" There were a few replies around him, and it looked like he should have had military experience.

Lao Luo didn't expect these people to be able to order and prohibit like the army all at once, they were robots in one step, and after a few days of relaxation, these people had more contact with the soldiers of the cavalry school, and they were naturally transformed.

Waving his hand for everyone to think for themselves, he turned and left. It's good to say that it's good to ask for trouble and trouble, after all, these scattered people will be his future help, and it is easy to go back to the East alone, but can you really live freely in this era?

Lao Luo didn't believe it.
