The atmosphere outside Rai City was weird, and this weird atmosphere spread all the way to the main camp of the Tang people's return to the east.

There were people whispering behind their backs everywhere, not only the local Rayi, but also the merchants along the way, and even the family members of the main camp of Donggui.

The bazaar, located between Donggui's main camp and the city of Rai, was now at the heart of the quirky atmosphere, and it was strange because, on the one hand, the situation of the trade was very pleasant, and everyone could find what they wanted here, and on the other hand, everyone was discussing the news in private—a wasteland five miles to the south was now soaked with blood on every inch of the soil, and the blood of more than 1,600 people had dried up there.

It is not uncommon for the people of this land to be killed for wanting to sneak attack, because most of the time those who are captured can be redeemed with money and property, and the most likely is that they are taken as slaves. But this time is completely different from the past, the new security commander of the current Donggui team of the Tang Dynasty Battalion in the past is a general surnamed Luo who has returned from afar, he does not accept any way of redemption, and insists on beheading all the ill-intentioned guys who offended the safety of the Tang Dynasty's Donggui main camp.

The captain who is responsible for maintaining the security of the bazaar is the guy who is often called Wu Laosan, since Min Monkey was sent out to be a forward scout, among the eight captains in the main escort team, Wu Laosan is the most clever, and he was directly sent here to guard the order of the bazaar. On the first day, there was naturally a lot of rushing, without him, price disputes, interest disputes, misunderstandings of words, and many complicated things were annoying.

Now that the main camp has killed more than 1,600 people in one go, Wu Laosan suddenly feels as if all the situations are different. Although the Turks who were arrogant a day ago are no longer honest, at least they dare not be arrogant anymore and want to buy and sell; The Rayi, who originally relied on the momentum of the Turks and wanted to make a move, also lost the pretentiousness of the day before yesterday; Not to mention other businessmen, such as Armenians......

Wu Laosan walked on the trading channel of the bazaar, listening to the surrounding discussions, and his face couldn't help but show a little inexplicable pride.

"I heard that a lot of people were killed over there yesterday evening, and they were all guys who originally planned to test the Tang people."

"Good kill! They are all restless people in the city of Rai, and without them, this land would be much more peaceful. ”

"Shut up, are you a citizen of the plateau or not, no matter how damn those damn guys are, it will never be the turn of the Tang people to punish them!"

"Is there something wrong? In the past, when those guys were rampant on the streets, who managed it? My old friend Kaim's family was killed by them, why didn't anyone punish them? Why is it that no one wants to live in harmony with the people of the plateau? ”

"Allah, you bastard who has turned his back on his own people!"

"Who the hell is the bastard who betrayed his own people? The people of the plateau believe in their own god of light (1), and no god dared to say that he is omnipotent thousands of years ago, only the god of light is the protector of the people of the plateau! ”

"You damned Kabal (heretic) ......"

“……”

Wu Laosan hurriedly led people over, "Be honest, this is not a place where you can fight......", the crackling whip was whipped over without a head, and there was silence in all directions.

Also whipped were more than a thousand merchants who had been bewitched the day before, not blackmailed, nor detained under inexplicable pretexts, and even told by the soldiers of the returning party that they could form their own team if they wanted to follow the team to the East.

This news was also brought back to the Bazaar at the same time.

"Mikam, my friend, thank you to all the gods who come and go, you are still alive!"

"Yes, Camue, I'm still alive, and Butcher didn't kill me, because I'm a real businessman, not a bandit with bad intentions."

"Butcher Rowe?"

"That's right, the general in charge of the Tang people is surnamed Luo, yesterday those guys who pretended to be merchants were all executed, and the hillside was full of blood, what a butcher......"

"The butcher has no mercy on his subordinates, and you may have to thank General Luo for his moderation if you survive."

"Yes, Camul, do you think I'm confused? How can you believe the words of those bastards, if it weren't for Butcher Luo asking people to distinguish the identities of everyone, I'm afraid you would have to collect my corpses now. ”

"Mikam, shut up, since General Luo was able to spare your life, you should at least keep a respect for him!"

"No, Camueel, Butcher Roll ordered me to be whipped ten times, and I will call him Butcher Row."

"Mikam, you stubborn, confused, stubborn old fool, ten lashes haven't woken your brain!"

"Camuel, you are wrong, if the butcher can maintain justice and be able to reward and punish strictly, then the butcher is also a qualified leader, respect does not stop at the mouth, but exists in the heart......"

"Mikam, I hope the butcher you spoke of can see through people's hearts and know that you respect him, otherwise a butcher will definitely cut off your head because of your verbal disrespect."

"Don't worry, Camuel, General Butcher is a strict leader, although he whipped me ten lashes, there is nothing to resent, it is a punishment for my foolishness, changed the camp of the Turks, and now you will definitely not see me."

"Well, which god is above to protect the merchant, Mikam, you old thing, are not confused......"

"I'm not confused, Camueel, my old friend, I'm going to follow the Tang people's team to the East, that General Luo ordered us who are willing to go to the East to form our own team, we can follow behind their team!"

"Huh? They were willing to let the caravan follow behind, so they didn't worry about the caravan turning into a bandit sneak attack? ”

"Sneak attack, you say? You eyeless Camue, you don't see that the soldiers of the Tang people are about to put on the teeth of pig iron, who can afford to mess with them? And the caravan is to be kept five miles away from the home team (Romari), and there are cavalry guards on the periphery, which one has the courage to be a bandit? ”

Similar conversations have not stopped, similar words are everywhere, and the title of Lao Luo's butcher has spread uncontrollably, although it is not Lao Luo himself who kills people himself, but there is no doubt that he is the main messenger who gives orders.

Naturally, there was never a time when the hearts of the people were united, not only among the local Iranians, but also within the entire ranks of the Eastbound people. Some people benefited from Lao Luo's orders, and naturally there were also so-called moral saints who thought that the killing of prisoners was ominous, including the long-dormant Zhang family.

In the main camp of the Donggui team, Zhang Shen, who often prides himself on being a righteous man and a gentleman, is chatting with Li Tan, the ancestor of the Li family, "Uncle Tan, this Luo family Saburo is too violent, 1,600 people will be killed when they say they will be killed, and if they anger the local Samanids, tens of thousands of our men, women, and children will all be buried here." ”

The old man Li Tan glanced at the sanctimonious Zhang Shen, who originally thought that this junior of the Zhang family was stable and could always find a perfect solution, but now it seems that the old man feels awkward how he looks, "That...... What do you mean, how to deal with it? ”

"This ......" Zhang Shen didn't expect the old man to be so difficult to talk today, and asked directly about the solution, fortunately, he didn't have to deal with similar things, "You can hand over people to the local Samanids, anyway, we don't have blood in our hands." ”

"No blood?" The old man Li Tan was also a violent general when he was young, and it can be said that the reason why the people of the craftsman battalion in the past were able to stay in the Sylvan Plain for decades was not because of compromise, but because they had fought hard with blood and sweat. He suppressed the anger in his heart, "And then? Naturally, the Normans of Rai City will not punish those thousand six hundred, and when those people again recruit people to retaliate, who will deal with them? Can you Zhang Xingzhi? ”

...... "Where does Zhang Shen have the ability to fight against a large number of enemies?" Can't you kill more than 1,600 people in one go? ”

"Hmph, Xingzhi go and rest, this kind of marching is a matter of the army, you don't have to worry about this matter." The old man Li Tan is old, so naturally he doesn't have so much anger, and it is already rare that he doesn't scold people directly.

When Zhang Shen retreated, he still shouted unwillingly, "Uncle Tan, Luo Jiasanlang is a jackal, and the voice of the butcher in the market is endless, I Tang must not bear this charge!" ”

"Pull him down, go back and rest seriously, don't move around." Li Tan directly ordered the people around him to take Zhang Shen back, and the words meant house arrest, so he would naturally be well executed.

The internal strife in Donggui's main camp naturally couldn't hide from Lao Luo, but he never took the Zhang family to heart, and this kind of words were what he had expected, and it was just wind in his ears.

Inside the watchtower of the city of Rai, Sastin and Abdullah. Nadim was also chatting.

"I have never heard of such a general Luo in the Tang camp, it seems that the Tang people really chose a good leader." Abdullah's voice was no longer the harsh voice of the previous day, but had an indescribable depression.

"That's right, when they arrived the day before yesterday, they saw that the team was as neat as a wall, and the camp within a radius of three miles only took half a day, and our soldiers were far inferior to this alone." Sastin is a professional soldier, so naturally you can judge the balance of power between the two sides from the details.

"Yes, although I had an argument with that General Luo yesterday, it was only for our interests, but I can't help but say that General Luo's punishment is strict, which is also good for us, at least I can't see those guys who usually show off their might in Rai City now." Speaking fair words, Abdullah. Nadeem's face was gloomy.

"I, the city guard general, don't have that much power to control those bastards, otherwise I wouldn't let an outsider punish those guys." Saskine's face was full of helplessness.

"Today there are rumors that General Luo is called Butcher Luo, but people have no resentment, but they respect this butcher very much." Abdullah has long lost the morale he had to argue with Lao Luo the day before.

"......" Sardine, who is a soldier, can only be speechless.

"Maybe a butcher is needed on the plateau to make the skies clearer...... It's a pity that this General Luo will lead the team away tomorrow, and they won't stay on this land. There is no such great king as Cyrus the Great on the plateau, and now the Ahmad family is left with a group of losers who only know how to enjoy women and gather wealth. Where should the Iranians go......" as the end of the conversation, Abdullah's summary can only be full of helplessness.
