As night fell, a robber hurried to report the news.
"Boss, Tang Zhou and his party went to the saltwater lake."
The white wolf nodded, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, the people of Li Tai, the king of Wei, had already found him a few days ago, and promised to give him a good profit, as long as they solved Tang Zhou.
Faced with huge profits, the white wolf agreed without hesitation.
Originally, he was going to lead people to encircle and suppress Tang Zhou, but later they found that Tang Zhou and they encountered a storm, and there was very little water left, but after he knew this, he guessed that Tang Zhou had two ways to choose.
One is to go to the oasis they occupy to rob them, and the other is to die in the desert.
But what he didn't expect was that Tang Zhou didn't go to grab the oasis with them, but went to the saltwater lake, but this didn't have any effect on him, what if he went to the saltwater lake, could they still drink saltwater and get out of the desert?
In the eyes of the white wolf, he didn't need to do anything at all, Tang Zhou and the others would definitely not be able to get out of the Bagu Desert alive.
But just as the white wolf was thinking this, one of his subordinates suddenly said again: "They used perfume to evaporate fresh water, and now they have almost enough water." ”
After the minion said this, the white wolf's eyes suddenly showed a murderous intent, and then kicked at the minion.
"Can't you finish the words at once, why do you say them twice, damn it."
As he spoke, the white wolf waved his hand and said, "Come on, follow me to exterminate Tang Zhou." ”
Now that Tang Zhou has already gotten fresh water, it is possible for Tang Zhou to get out of the Bagu Desert, if Tang Zhou is allowed to get out of the Bagu Desert, it will not be easy for them to kill Tang Zhou.
So without hesitation, the white wolf decided to have a hard battle with Tang Zhou, he called all the 4,000 men and horses under his command, and then rushed to the saltwater lake where Tang Zhou was.
Anyway, for the sake of that money, the white wolf had to kill Tang Zhou.
Moreover, the white wolf is a very arrogant person, even if he has heard of Tang Zhou's reputation in the Bagu Desert, he really wants to see such a person and see if it is really as powerful as rumored.
Because it was only a short time to run, the white wolves and they all rode horses, if nothing else, they would be able to rush to the saltwater lake the morning after tomorrow, and they should be able to catch up with Tang Zhou and them at night.
At that time, it will be the ultimate killing.
---------------------------
The next day, after spending a day and a night in the saltwater lake, Tang Zhou and the others finally collected all the fresh water they needed.
There had been a long delay, so after the fresh water had been collected, they prepared to leave and continue westward.
And just half a day after they left the saltwater lake, they suddenly found a camel team in front, the camel team was about a hundred or ten people, these hundred or so people were wearing exotic clothes, Tang Zhou carefully identified them, they seemed to be people from the Western Regions.
The appearance of Tang Zhou and the others made the camel team panic for a while, they thought they had encountered robbers, but after they found out that it was the army of the Tang Dynasty, they finally put their minds at ease.
The Tang Dynasty has been at war with the countries of the Western Regions, but because of the existence of the Silk Road, the Tang Dynasty's army will not do anything to merchants on the Silk Road, so they are not particularly worried.
After the two sides met, Tang Zhou learned that they were merchants from a small country in the Western Regions, and the leader was called Alatu, who had bought some goods from the Tang Dynasty and was going to take them back to China to sell.
Aratu has curly hair, blue eyes, a little short stature, can speak fluent Tang Dynasty official dialect, he learned that it was Tang Zhou, he immediately became excited, he also heard of Tang Zhou when he was in Chang'an City, but he never had the opportunity to see it, he didn't expect to meet Tang Zhou in such a place.
And when he learned that Tang Zhou had come from the saltwater lake to get fresh water, he threw himself on the ground for Tang Zhou's admiration, begging to see Tang Zhou's pots.
Tang Zhou is not a stingy person, he was entangled by Aratu, so he had to let them take a look, but Tang Zhou was not just a casual person, he also asked for some food from Aratu when he looked at those pots in Aratu.
But this is nothing to Aratu, he has a lot of food, and as long as he can see Tang Zhou's pot, he can concoct it when he returns, and then sell it to merchants who need to walk through the desert, or fishermen who have to go to sea, which can make him a lot of money.
Tang Zhou also knew about Aratu's intentions, but he didn't like this money, so let Aratu earn it, let him earn it, and make a good relationship today, maybe one day there will be a time when he will be needed.
After reading the pot, Aratu quickly understood the principle, and then he asked to follow Tang Zhou all the way.
There are robbers in the desert, although there are more than 100 of them, but they are not many, and now that they are protected by the Tang army, there should be no problem for them to leave the Batu Desert safely.
Aratu was a smart man, and he realized this, so how could he let go of such an opportunity?
Moreover, following Tang Zhou, he felt that he could learn a lot of things that would allow him to make a fortune when he returned to his country.
Anyway, no matter how he died, Aratu was a businessman, and a very pure businessman, as long as he could make money, let him do whatever he wanted.
At first, Tang Zhou still had a good impression of this Aratu, but when he found out that Aratu was a person who regarded making money as his mission in life, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Such a person is a bit unreliable, he can do anything for money that you can't think of, but although Tang Zhou found out about this, he still continued to move forward with them, because if a person likes money very much, it doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to use him.
The next day, the weather was unusually hot, so everyone had to stop and rest and wait for the evening to leave.
And when the night gradually came, and the wind blew a little cool, there was a sudden sound in the distance, and Aratu had walked this road many times, and he listened close to the ground for a while, and then his face showed horror, and then he hurried to find Tang Zhou.
"Little Hou Ye, Xiao Hou Ye, it's not good, the robbers are here......"
Tang Zhou's eyebrows condensed slightly, they didn't go to trouble the robbers, the robbers came to them, and the robbers were so arrogant.
"How many?"
"I can't hear this, but the number of people will definitely not be less, little marquis, we ...... What do we do now? ”
Tang Zhou didn't like Aratu's mercenary appearance a little, so he wanted to tease him, so he said: "They must have taken a fancy to your goods, since this is the case, why don't we part ways, you take the goods to clean up the aftermath, how about Ben Hou take a step first?" ”
"Ah...... This...... Little Hou Ye, don't make trouble, this is not a joke, you can't see death without saving it. ”
None of them thought that in fact, the real target of the white wolf was Tang Zhou, not the cargo transported by Alatu.
