Tongli Town, which had finally stopped in the middle of the night, became noisy again, and countless Confucian soldiers fought with torches and open flames, and they were murderously rushing towards the residential area of the right street behind the town.

Tongli Town was built by the local Arabs and Min people, and it has maintained this form after its completion, with a cross street separating the four tribes, and most of the relocated Min people live in shops on the street or in military camps under the western wall.

The social structure of the Arabs is very simple and primitive, a tent is a family, families with close blood relatives live together to form a clan tribe, and the respected or brave and strong tribesmen are elected to serve as tribal chiefs, and under the same blood constraints, the tribe members are extremely loyal to the tribe, and the loyal often do not care about right and wrong, even if they have to shed blood, they must maintain their own tribe.

Facing the noisy Min army, one or two hundred middle-aged men of the surrounded Arab clans also crowded out with bows and arrows and scimitars, and they refused to let the Fujian people in.

But in the stalemate, Elemaigai, who ran to complain, shouted loudly in Arabic and squeezed into the hostile clan, and he didn't know what he was shouting, which made the whole clan men turn their heads into a mess in disbelief.

A dozen or so men ran back with a weak heart, which provoked the anger of the rest of the clan members, and under the leadership of a few elderly people, the noisy Bedouin prime-aged people seemed to ignore the existence of the Min people, and all ran back to the messy community.

"Duwei Song, Duwei Yao, please wait a moment."

Full of triumph, Ellemaigai pretended to be humble with his little beard, but he couldn't hide his evil smile and bowed his head.

Looking at the Arab community, which was in chaos and there was a faint sound of fighting, Yao Chong, who had just fallen asleep and was awakened, was thoughtful.

About ten minutes later, more than 100 Arab strong men came out again, and the dozen or so Arabs who had just escaped and their families were all pushed out with blue noses and swollen faces, and in addition to them, there were actually four Arab sand thieves who attacked the city during the day.

Particularly striking among them was another old Arab man with a big white beard and a tall figure, even though he was full of wrinkles, and this person was the chief of the tribe, one of the four chiefs, Wad.

It seems that the soldiers of the Min army who are fighting with open fire have been ignored again, shouting disdainfully, and after the tribal members who came out spit viciously on them, they swaggered back to the tribe without looking back.

"Captain Song, now you can arrest them!" Pointing to the old Wald, who was lying on the ground in embarrassment, but staring at him with hatred in his eyes, Ellemaigay almost didn't laugh out loud.

was ignored twice, Song Jing couldn't help but scratch the back of his head in frustration, and then waved his hand: "Come on, take them away!" ”

Carrying the big shackles that had been prepared for a long time, he detained the bodies of a dozen or so dejected Arab men and four sand thieves, and under the cry and chase of those family women, the soldiers of the Fujian army who were disturbed by their dreams also unceremoniously dragged the iron chains, pulling cattle and dragging these people to the barracks at the door.

This scene seems strange like a pantomime, but it is normal for it to happen in Arabia, and the great contradictions in the Arab character are exposed.

In order to survive in the cruel desert, the Bedouin tribe is extremely united, even if the members of their own tribe are at a loss, the rest of the clan members must not hesitate to defend him, and the Arabs believe that the dead have spirits, and they will promise revenge by the side of their dead relatives, because of this, the thirty and forty years of blood wars abound in Arabia, and there are often large tribes who lose both sides because of this, and disappear.

But in this collectivism, individualism is also on the rise, and when tribesmen feel wronged, they dare to rebel against the chieftain, or leave the tribe and leave the country.

Just because of this, no matter why the Min army came to arrest people, the Arab men of this clan were united, and they planned to carry it to the end regardless of the reason, but just now Al Maigai loudly exposed in Arabic that Wad had betrayed all the tribesmen by taking in the sand thieves who were besieging the city during the day, and wanted to take them all out of the water, the clan tribes, who were reluctant to live a good life at the moment, almost immediately abandoned their chiefs and expelled them from the clan.

It was only in this situation that the Min army was able to arrest people.

It's no wonder that the Arabs who infiltrated from outside were so solemn, the last time in Qom City, it was these desert blood relatives who made Li Chenxi and Song Jing almost give up their lives, if the four sand thieves said that the Arab clans in Tongli Town would rebel, then they would have a lot of fun.

It wasn't until Wade and the four sand thieves were thrown into prison that Yao Chong and Song Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lao Ai, my old Song will remember your credit, and I will report it to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow, it is estimated that it will not be long before the king of Hezhong County will give you a reward."

At the gate of the barracks, Song Jing happily patted his chest and assured Elle Maigai who came to tell the informant, and immediately smiled at the old slippery head, and kept bowing and thanking him.

"Oh, Song Duwei is serious, the work of raising his hands, the work of raising his hands, as the people under the rule of Damin, it should be, it should be!"

"Hey, if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you will be punished, this is Damin!"

At this end, Song Jing was still grinding his teeth with the ink blots of the old Arab slippery head who had suddenly learned to be modest in Huaxia, looking at Elle Maigai who was smiling all over his face, Yao Chong fell into deep thought again.

After tossing for half the night, he finally quieted down, Song Jing had insomnia, and Yao Chong couldn't sleep.

In the early morning of the next morning, the fiery red sun rose from the east as scheduled, and with the harsh heat, once again scorched the inhabitants of Tongli Town, and while the morning weather was not too hot, groups of Arab women were busy fetching water and milking camels, while men were carrying hoes, some went down to the fields to check the crops, and some hurried into the gold mines.

It is worthy of a family of military generals, a soldier who has accumulated years, last night's actions have nothing to do with him, Xue Ne was not even woken up, and he slept comfortably until dawn, and it was time to go out to exercise normally, and then he woke up under the effect of the biological clock.

The Confucian soldiers had already prepared their horses and breakfast, and the 1,000 or so river horsemen under Xue Ne's command also woke up early, eating a simple breakfast, feeding the horses, and preparing to embark on the journey again at any time.

However, in the headquarters, Yao Chong and Song Jing, who were eating breakfast with Xue Ne, looked like they had dark circles under their eyes, and they didn't sleep well at first glance.

is worthy of being Xue Rengui's son, even in terms of food, Xue Ne is not left behind, the rice porridge prepared for the three of them weighs almost three catties, and he drank it alone, and the side dishes and pickles prepared by him were almost all wrapped up by him, and he spit out a breath of hot air comfortably, Xue Ne wiped his mouth unsatisfied, and said with a straight smile to Yao Chong and Song Jing who were full of thoughts.

"Okay, we are brothers, I am still your old boss, if you have anything to say, you don't have to hide it, I Xue Ne will never shirk if I can help."

It seemed that he had really thought about it for a long time, and Song Jing hurriedly said it.

"Brother Xue, you, can you transfer me to your command?"

"Why?" Without waiting for Xue Ne to ask, Yao Chong had already turned his head incredibly and exclaimed, he had been partnered with Song Jing for so long, Yao Chong never thought that the two would be separated one day.

"What's so bad about staying in a Confucian soldier? Following under my command and eating sand all day long is much more dangerous than the Confucian soldiers, Xiao Song, you can think about it! The same face became solemn, and Xue Ne also opened his mouth to persuade.

But after thinking about it all night, Song Jing had already made up his mind and nodded without hesitation.

"I've figured it out!"

"Although the Confucian soldiers are stable, they will never be able to get ahead if they stay here, I still want to be promoted, and I still want to be a general, Brother Yao, you forgot the bet you made with me on the straw stack that day, Chenxi is still waiting for us to find her in the capital, although I am not a hero, I also want to appear in front of her with a piece of glory."

Clenched his fists, Song Jing said solemnly and longingly: "So, I'm going to fight!" ”

These words made Yao Chong stunned again, he recalled the gambling contract at that time now, and sometimes he couldn't help but shake his head funny, who is Li Chenxi, the pearl of King Min, the noble of the sky, once he swore that he wanted to compete with Song Jing, but calm down and think about it, how is it possible?

It is impossible for King Min to marry such an important daughter to a nobody like himself no matter what, Yao Chong has already given up, but he didn't expect Song Jing, a fat man, to insist so persistently.

Vaguely knowing some of Li Chenxi's relationship with the two of them, Xue Ne couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't refuse, but thought about it seriously, and then said: "Recently, the left army of the mobile cavalry under my command can no longer recruit generals, even if I am a guerrilla general, I don't have this right, but recently the right general Li Chou advocated a crusade against Riyadh, and he is in urgent need of generals, I can write a letter of recommendation for you and send you to serve under him." ”

"So, thank you Brother Xue." Song Jing immediately bowed down with great joy.

There was no joy and sighed again, and Xue Ne turned his head to look at Yao Chong again.

"What about you, Xiao Yao, also want to go with Fat Song?"

Seeing that Song Jing also turned his head in anticipation, he wanted to nod and agree, but last night's idea made Yao Chongsheng shake his head with difficulty.

"Brother Xue, I want to persuade you not to move forward again, but to go back to Dubai Harbor!"

"Why? The military order is like a mountain, give me a reason! Instead of getting angry immediately, Xue Ne stared at Yao Chong's eyes in surprise and asked in dismay.

After another pause, Yao Chongcai nodded affirmatively.

"Because it is estimated that it won't be long, I'm afraid that the places that have been disturbed by the Arabian sand pirates will be chaotic in the thirty-two and eighteen miles!"
