Chapter 87, you don't dare to kill me
Accidentally captured Jiang Qinggui, and the grassland horse thief flew up, Xiao Ye took the scouts to patrol the periphery for a long time, and after making sure that there was no trace, he asked the guards to tie Jiang Qinggui and Zhao Heizi and tie them to the horses, while the others stayed in place with their hands and feet tied.
The guards and horse thieves who had been searched were tied up in the meadow, and all the seized goods and horses were taken away.
Xiao Ye also thought about killing all these people, but he didn't show up, and the guards and sergeants also covered their faces, except for the sergeant who issued a warning, the others didn't even make a sound. For this, he still spared their lives.
As for the guards and the horse thieves, which one can break free from the rope first and restrain the other party depends on their strength.
In the depths of the Gobi Desert, Zhao Heizi, the leader of the horse thieves, Xiao Ye did not feel too embarrassed, he was forced to go to the grassland as a thief in these years, which one did not have a blood and tear account, but he didn't bother to ask; As for the draft, forget it, as soon as you look at the appearance of flying on the grass, you are an unruly master, or a reliable sergeant trained by yourself.
Late at night, the raging fire in front of him, the sound of horsewhips and Jiang Qinggui's screams were heard from time to time, Zhao Heizi, who was sitting on the gravel ground, looked coldly at Xiao Ye who was leaning on the saddle on the side, and laughed a few times from time to time, without the slightest consciousness of a captive.
There is a sergeant sitting on each side of Zhao Heizi, who can press this guy to the ground at any time and beat him up happily, a hungry wolf without teeth, even a sheep can be killed by poking and poking with horns.
"Flying on the grass, what are you laughing at, your subordinates are probably scattered now, you still have the heart to laugh," took a piece of barbecue meat handed over by the guard, Xiao Ye tore a piece of it with a big mouthful, chewed it with a clump of money, and chewed the crispy bones and swallowed it.
"If I were you, I would definitely take the opportunity to jump up and fight hard," after taking a sip of ale, Xiao Ye threw the wine bag over, "Take a sip to warm up your body first, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to drink it when it's dawn,"
Xiao Ye was full of threatening words, Cao Shangfei didn't pay attention, his tied hands stretched out, grabbed the wine bag, put it on his mouth and drank wildly, he was already hungry and dizzy if he didn't eat water and rice for a day.
These people are really fucking able to run, they run for most of the day, and they are even on the horse when they take a breath, Zhao Heizi threw away the empty wine bag stupidly, and said with a big grin, "Brother, dare to ask for a name?" But there was silence in his answer, except for the rattle of grease-dripping pieces of flesh on the iron frame erected over the fire.
"Oh, then don't you want to bring me a piece of meat," Zhao Heizi scolded a few times in his heart, and laughed awkwardly.
"Smack," the steaming barbecue was thrown in front of him, and the guards who sat in front of the fire to take care of the barbecue turned their faces to look at Baihu, and threw a piece of meat with a hunting knife and threw it over; Ignoring the dust on the meat pieces, Zhao Heizi smiled and picked it up, eating a mouth full of oil.
In order to survive, he had more smiles on his face tonight than in half a year combined.
His calm appearance made Xiao Ye quite strange, and he was patient, squinting at the horse thief leader eating the meat, and then he snorted unhurriedly, "If you have something to say, it's not the first time we've dealt with each other,"
The words that came from the bonfire made Zhao Heizi stunned for a moment, and then suddenly it turned out that in the Tian family compound in Gansu Town, he met these people, no wonder, he suffered a huge loss, and the loss should be.
"This old brother, I am known as the horse thief flying on the grass, the big name Zhao Heizi, but although the old brother is a thief, he is unwilling to hurt people's lives at will, otherwise the young master in the daytime, I will take it away, it will be a matter of running in circles, and your manpower will not be able to stop it,"
portrayed himself as a chivalrous thief flying on the grass, swearing to death will not admit his evil deeds on the grassland, but has become a chivalrous man who only collects money from the road; If he really followed his words, he didn't know how many times he died, even the Ming officers and soldiers could chase him to death, not to mention the guards of those big merchants.
Xiao Ye quietly listened to Zhao Heizi's spittle and stars flying around, and when he said that his mouth was dry, he smiled leisurely, "Tell me what you are for, my knife doesn't kill useful people,"
The voice that was not slow or hurried, listening to Zhao Heizi's ears, became cold and heart-wrenching, he didn't expect that as soon as he approached Qingfeng Valley, he would be able to meet such an unpretentious master, it was really bad luck.
At this time, in the leeward depression in the distance, Jiang Qinggui's screams also stopped, and the whirring night wind made Zhao Heizi a little unbearable; The sergeants who looked at him from both sides looked too much like the look of their own men before they cut people.
"Hehe, I can't hide it, I'm just a horse thief outside Qingfeng Valley, and I obey Lu Yidao outside Tieshan Pass," since Zhao Heizi spit out, he won't leave any life-saving information, and what he took out is useful, and if he stays in his stomach and is hacked, it will be useless to go into the water.
Cao Shangfei took refuge in Lu Yidao, and he did not dare to delay the silver tickets handed in every year, but it also made him and several henchmen under Lu Yidao get a lot closer.
With a heart to stammer, coupled with eating and drinking, he naturally got some obscure information; It was these vague messages that made him not go away, but worked harder to kill Lu Yidao.
"Thinking that Lu Yidao is also a horse thief, why can't the officers and soldiers catch him, haha, he is just an officer and soldier under the guise of a horse thief," Speaking of this, Zhao Heizi laughed loudly, and his conscious identity was several layers higher.
Squinting at the masked man opposite, the look of shock in his eyes, Zhao Heizi was quite refreshed, he had already determined that these people must be the Ming army, but they didn't know where they came from, but they would definitely not be too far away, go back and inquire more, there are not many fires/guns so sharp.
"Lu Yidao's henchmen have a good relationship with me, he said, Lu Yidao is just to gather money for a big man, that big man, hehe, I didn't ask my brother, and I didn't dare to say it when people died," As for Lu Yidao's true identity, Zhao Heizi guessed it carefully, just like Xiao Ye, even if they were covered with coarse cloth and wearing a tartar leather jacket, it was difficult to hide the military flavor on their bodies.
Zhao Heizi's confession of pouring beans from a bamboo bucket made Xiao Ye unacceptable for a while, the horse thief Lu Yidao on the grassland, he had mentioned it when he heard the chatter of those merchants, this horse thief is the largest horse thief on the grassland, not only has a large number of people, but also has quite sophisticated weapons, which especially makes the merchants frightened.
"Boom, Boom, scared, you dare to kill me? Don't you dare, tell you the stinky boy, and let Lao Tzu go quickly, otherwise," Zhao Heizi, who saw the young man opposite in a trance, was quite proud, and regretted that he did not reveal his identity early, but his momentum also became arrogant, and he was about to get up and scold a few words angrily with a gloomy face, when he heard a slight sound in front of him.
"Smack," a short sharp arrow pierced through the orange flames and plunged into Zhao Heizi's forehead without warning; Flying on the grass in a daze, he opened his mouth in disbelief, muttered a few times, and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Leaving you behind is a disaster," muttered in his mouth, Xiao Ye put down the crossbow in his hand, held his hands and looked up at the stars, silently thinking about his thoughts.
What Zhao Heizi brought to him was not only shocked, but also the news of a seemingly huge conspiracy, Xiao Ye, who didn't want to jump into this conspiracy, could only quickly extinguish his mouth; However, the horse thieves who were let go by him could not be recovered.
In the early hours of the morning, the dead and alive guards who tortured Jiang Qinggui got all the confessions, and the dying Jiang Dagongzi, under Xiao Ye's hint, was given a knife by the sergeant and buried in the Gobi Desert.
The hatred between Xiao Ye and Jiang Jie is already endless, and it is bound to spread to their respective relatives, and he doesn't mind giving Jiang Jie a heart-warming knife first.
The two corpses were buried under the thin layer of gravel, and it didn't take long for the wild wolves that followed the smell of blood to come and clean them up.
Jiang Qinggui, as Jiang Jie's only son, naturally knew a lot of things, and the guards who interrogated him told Baihu that Jiang Qinggui confessed that his father was ordered to frame his next Baihu two years ago, and that Baihu was Ximen Gale Wind, but he died under the arrows of the Tartar archers.
As for who ordered Jiang Jie, Jiang Qinggui was beaten half to death, and he couldn't explain it, it seems that Jiang Jie still kept a hand and didn't tell his son.
Fly on the grass, Lu Yidao, big shot? Jiang Jie, ordered? Chewing on the information he obtained, the more Xiao Ye pondered, the more cold sweat broke out on his body, if there was no connection during this period, he would have lived in vain.
It seems that there is someone else who killed his father, Jiang Jie is just a knife hand, Xiao Ye asked the guards and sergeants to sweep away the traces of camping, and the more than 20 war horses with military imprints were all ruthlessly released; If the Tartar Ranger passes by and picks up a bargain, then he'll laugh.
The matter of revenge is postponed, and now it is important to leave as soon as possible, and run as far as possible.
After checking that there were no unusual marks, the group took the horses of the captured horse thieves and checked that there were no unusual marks, and then ran due north for a day, then detoured due west, and ran in the Gobi Desert for three days in a row, and then turned around and spent five days crossing the vast and arid Gobi, and turning diagonally towards the horse road leading to Shiguantun.
If it weren't for the two water umbrellas, plus the seized dry food, and the compass in his hand, Xiao Ye would not have dared to go around in such a big circle after being killed, and every time he changed direction during the eight-day journey, it was at night, and once he got lost, the ordinary team would definitely die of thirst in the Gobi Desert.
Fortunately, the compass in his hand was quite useful, and the horse team rumbled out of the Gobi and accelerated south into the deep ravine of the mountains.
Entering the ditch and traveling less than three miles, on a large sloping stone platform at a corner, under the mountain next to the stone ditch, Xiao Ye saw a group of busy figures.
Wang Qing is taking his escort team, under the guidance of the craftsman, to build a stone fort here, the C-shaped Madao Stone Fort, which is also the military order left by Xiao Ye before he set off.
With the use of geobombs, the project of cutting and digging deep foundations seems to be very easy, after the iron drill punches a calf thick hole on the stone platform, put in the geobomb, after a low muffled sound, the stones around the hole are broken, and it is very convenient to excavate.
The only thing that puzzled Wang Qing was that he said that he would let Uncle Wang let him go, and the Lu No. stone mill that he carefully pulled couldn't turn here, and the two pack horses couldn't pull it together, as if they were rusting to death, so they had to be escorted back to the tunli with great difficulty.
Xiao Ye's return made Wang Qing's escort team immediately have more than 20 healthy horses, and these original war horses had to be transported between Shiguantun and C-shaped stone fort every day for the time being.
However, according to Wang Dali's estimate, even if all the yellow plaster of the three stone mills in the quarry mill is taken out, a small stone fort with a height of five zhang and a radius of 300 steps will not be built this year.
The output of stucco is limited, and half of it has to be taken out to deal with the Huang family, and only when the year is closed, it is estimated that this stone fort far away from Shiguantun can be perfected.
But the stucco condensed in winter was not good, and Xiao Ye didn't want to rush to build an unsturdy stone fort.
The trebuchet of the Tartars, everyone has seen the formation, if you want to survive, you should build the stone castle thicker and thicker, and higher and higher.
When you get here, the height of the stone castle does not need to be taboo with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, here, but the territory of the Tartars.
