Chapter 0167 Caravan

The yellow sand is thousands of miles, the sun is hot and scorching, the shadow on the ground almost disappears at this moment, the sand on the ground is hot by the sun, and the soles of the feet are hot for a while when you walk on it, and you can't help but look up, there is no cloud in the sky.

That piece of green, rippling water, if it appears at this moment, it is likely to be a dream, or a legendary mirage, it really exists in reality, it is a life that belongs to the desert, walking in the desert, it must be a lucky thing to be able to find an oasis.

"It's going to be windy and sandy tonight, so make sure to get to the oasis before it gets dark."

"Speed up."

A caravan slowly marched forward, starting from Tianguan Town, and it was more than ten days after walking, and some people began to complain, and even cursed, scolding God, scolding the damn desert, in short, they could almost scold the top again, only in this way could they dispel the irritability caused by the heat.

The remuneration of one hundred taels is indeed a lot, and when you return to Tianguan Town, you can live happily for at least a while, if it weren't for the final reward, someone would have given up halfway.

Entering the desert, the cart could not come in handy, simply replaced with camels, the head of the caravan sat on the high camels, which were blocked by cloths, even so it was still very hot, look at the edge of the sky, this is a sign that the wind and sand are coming, once they cannot reach the oasis in time, the whole caravan will suffer from the catastrophe.

A short-legged lizard emerged from the sand hole, its eyes almost identical to the sand, and its tongue was sticking out its tongue, hoping to catch enough prey before the storm, otherwise the rare green vegetation in the desert would be buried by the wind and sand once the storm passed.

One person always lowered his head, more than ten days have passed, as if he has changed a person, his face is red, he is dressed in coarse cloth, he is slightly short compared to other guards, it is the mysterious woman who appeared in Tianguan Town, following the caravan to the border, the Ming Dynasty strictly forbids trade in the border area, there are only two kinds of caravans that can approach the border land, secretly trade, driven by huge interests, many caravans are willing to take risks, and the other is different, through various relationships to open up channels and border caravans union, the caravan in front of him should belong to the latter.

"Oasis."

Cheers abrupt and the caravan moved forward quickly, and as a rule of thumb, the storm would arrive at night, and entering the oasis was the only chance to survive.

Everything is so magical, in the middle of the whole desert, the water is rippling, all kinds of trees grow around, the oasis can be called the lifeline of the desert, and the people who often haunt the desert are the most aware of this, and also believe that all this is created by the gods, even if the fierce and savage nomads do not dare to desecrate this place in the slightest, otherwise they will be punished by the gods.

The sky is dark, not dark clouds, it is full of wind and sand, the wind sweeps to completely cover the entire sky, the wind and sand roll and set off gusts of wind and thunder to change the color of the heavens and the earth, this is the most terrible force in the desert, can easily destroy everything, except for this magical land.

"Quick."

The wind and sand are approaching, the camel is obviously a little flustered, this kind of perennial walking in the desert is the most aware of the severity of the sandstorm, the caravan accompanied by the hand to tighten the reins, take out the black cloth to blindfold the camel, this way is the most effective way to remove the camel panic, the body bent as far as possible, and command the camel team to run straight to the direction of the oasis.

Approaching the oasis, the sandstorm almost whistled behind him, for this magical place, the sandstorm was also afraid to touch, at that moment everyone breathed a sigh of relief, look at the way behind them, including the ravines on the sand completely disappeared at this moment, the entire sand surface was blown forward by the wind, and the sound was like thousands of horses moving forward together.

"Thank you, the god of the desert."

The leader of the caravan put his hands in front of him, and his expression was reverent, and the others followed each other's example, just as the people who sailed on the water worshiped the god of water, and the people here also believed that this desert was also ruled by gods.

"Chief, someone entered the oasis ahead of schedule."

"How many?"

"I can't judge, the other party should be riding a war horse!"

"Could it be a horse thief?"

The leader of the caravan fell from his camel with a shake of his body, and the horse thieves in the desert were extremely fierce, coming and going without a trace, killing people and doing all kinds of evil, basically robbing and leaving, even the border army had no way to take these people.

When the sandstorm came, it was also reasonable for the horse thieves to enter the oasis to avoid the wind and sand beforehand, and the caravan entered the oasis, and the entourage unloaded their belongings and sat on the ground, and the leader followed the man to the location where the horseshoe prints were found.

The horseshoe prints were left not long ago, from the soil and the grass blades that were trampled underneath can be accurately judged, the size of the horse's hooves is also different, the horses of the Yuan people are smaller, the endurance is excellent, and they are also suitable for running in the desert.

"It's not a Yuan person, the number should be less than ten people." The man's gaze fell to the side, and two faint marks appeared on both sides of the horseshoe print.

"Carriage!"

"How can there be a carriage in the desert?"

When entering the desert, the more practical the ride, the better, and the carriage is a thing played by the rich and noble in the metropolis, and it is completely unsuitable in this kind of place.

"It's possible that it's other caravans, let's stay here tonight, and then make plans after we find out the situation."

"Okay."

On the side of the oasis, a carriage was parked in a hidden position, three people were sitting on the side, and the person in the middle had a sad face, it was Zhu Biao, who was killed and was escorted to escape, Qi Tai and Feng Gonggong sat on both sides, running all the way and completely tired, why did they appear in the oasis at this time!

Lin Feng and his party couldn't discern the location, so they could only let the war horse gallop forward, the sound of horses' hooves was bursting, and dozens of cavalry behind them were chasing closer and closer, if only Zhu Biao was alone, it would be easy to do, and he had been following the eunuch by his cronies, and Qi Tai had become a complete drag at this time.

"Lord Lin, protect the prince and leave, and Qi Tai stays."

Qi Tai stopped with his weapon in hand, and the cavalry chased closer and closer, and if this continued, everyone would not be able to escape, and someone would have to stay after all.

"Until the end, you must not give up easily, believe in Lin Feng."

The carriage didn't stop, Lin Feng's figure was close, he grabbed the opponent's wrist, and the light of the flying fish knife in his right hand fell on Qi Tai's eyes, and at that moment the whole world was instantly blood-red, with the opponent's blood still on it, and a knife was completely dyed red.

"Qi Tai is useless." At this moment, Qi Tai's heart is far from being able to be experienced by others, he is outstanding, he just wants to contribute to the court, after all, he is a newcomer, and he is even more unwilling to rely on others for the sake of wealth and wealth, Zhu Biao's identity as the prince has undoubtedly become Qi Tai's last chance, and he just wants to assist the prince to achieve his ambitions one day, and he doesn't want to be so powerless at this time.

"My lord, the Yuan people have caught up."

"Zhang Rui and Lu Jun hold the carriage, and the others are ready to shoot as soon as the cavalry approaches."

"Yes!"

The two of them were close to the left and right of the carriage, and suddenly the wind and sand blew violently, and a burst of neighing sound came out, and the eyes of the pursuing cavalry fell into the distance, and at that moment, the look of horror in their eyes was far greater than the bloody knife in Lin Feng's hand.

What did they see, why did they give up, they had to get their prey and quickly turned away.

The sandstorm rolled up everything around, and the entire space was completely enveloped in the aura of death, "Why did they run away!" Xiao He held the flying fish knife in his hand and looked at the cavalry that quickly disappeared in front of him.

"It's a big sandstorm, catch up with the carriage and go in this direction."

Lin Feng pointed with his hand, that position was facing the direction of the sandstorm, according to common sense, he should choose to avoid it, why did he go the other way, without the slightest hesitation, everyone in the Tianlong Camp urged the war horses to chase the carriage.

"Lord Lin, wouldn't this be buried by the wind and sand faster!" The sound of horses' hooves approached, Qi Tai's face was happy, Lin Feng urged the horse to approach quickly, without saying much, urging the horse to come to the front of the carriage, and there was a coachman in front of him who was responsible for controlling the direction of the four war horses.

"Here, quick."

Qi Tai looked at the sky blocked by wind and sand in front of him, and the entire desert was trembling at that moment, it was this kind of power that made the Yuan people afraid to force the other party to flee, could they be spared by rushing over like this? It's a pity that there is no record in the books left by the ancients.

"If you go with your ears, you will only be buried by the wind and sand, and only by facing the wind and sand can you find a way to escape the storm." Suddenly, something slashed out diagonally ahead, and the horse neighed.

"It's a wild camel, follow it."

A dromedary appears, faster than a normal camel, and this creature that can survive in the desert knows best how to avoid sandstorms.

"Let's go."
