Chapter 313: Flickering
Half an hour later, the sun had sunset below the horizon, the desert had become pitch black, and a few scorching fires reflected the gloomy mountain shadows of the Star Gorge, accompanied by the terrible sound of the wind blowing through the canyon and the sound of crackling firewood bursts, and a few wolf howls from the northern grasslands from time to time, which could make the faint of heart tremble.
But now standing at the mouth of the gorge, there is no one who is frightened, hundreds of tightly wrapped, black cloth masked swordsmen, carrying bows and knives, forming a circle, on the top of the cliff on both sides, more than a hundred archers with bows and arrows are patrolling back and forth, by the fire in the circle, Wang Huaqiang is sitting on a bed of Hu indifferently, and the wheat iron rod drags the iron rod to escort the side, vigilantly staring at An Xinggui opposite.
An Xinggui is still the same, thief eyebrows and rat eyes, two wipes of hook whiskers on the hook keep swinging with the wind, beside An Xinggui, there is a tall and strong, living like a reckless bull man, the man has a beard, thick and dense, I can't see the age, only a pair of bull's eyes exposed outside flashed with a fierce light, and a pair of angular and muscular arms exposed to the outside like a hill, except for the tattoo is a knife mark, which looks extremely scary.
Wang Huaqiang kept looking at this strong man, staring at him with an angry face, and roared in a rough voice: "The surname Wang, death is on the verge of death, and he is not honest, when he kills you in a while, Lao Tzu must dig up your restless tricks first!"
Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, and said: "Your Excellency must be a famous hero in this desert, I don't know the name of the honorable person, can it be convenient to see it?" ”
A gust of wind clasped his arms. Said proudly: "Listen up. Lao Tzu's surname is Li Mingyun. Nicknamed a gust of wind, this vast desert is Lao Tzu's territory, last time it was also in this Star Gorge, Lao Tzu didn't kill you with an arrow, count your fate, I won't give you this chance again today!"
Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Look at you like you, you are a Han person, you can dominate in this desert." It's also a bit of ability, you dug the cave base under this canyon and desert, and it really took a lot of energy. ”
A gust of wind's face changed, put down his arm, and said in a deep voice: "How do you know the Dao?" ”
Wang Huaqiang glanced at An Xinggui, who couldn't help but look at him, and said unhurriedly: "The reason is very simple, Brother An is mainly trading with the Western Turks, and this place is relying on the territory of the Eastern Turks, so he will probably not operate such a large secret base here." Right? ”
A smile suddenly flashed on An Xinggui's gloomy face: "Wang Huaqiang, I really admire you guy." You can still pretend to be like this when you are dying, you can be optimistic today, even the canyon behind you has been guarded by people we have arranged, you can't fly today. If you have any last words, please explain them as soon as you can speak. ”
The corners of Wang Huaqiang's mouth hooked: "Brother An, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are still so unbreathable, could it be that you and a gust of wind crossed the seven thousand miles of desert and came all the way to take my life?" ”
An Xinggui suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his voice was like a jackal's night howl, unspeakably ugly, after laughing, the murderous intent in his eyes flashed, and he said hatefully: "What do you say? You have occupied the foundation of my family for more than ten generations, and forced me to flee to the Western Regions to eat sand, I dream every day that I can't wait to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin, knowing that you are so stupid that you came to die by yourself, how could I let go of this opportunity to slaughter you with my own hands? ”
Wang Huaqiang smacked his mouth and shook his head: "Brother An, if you are a bandit like a gust of wind, it is reasonable for you to think so, if you can't be happy with revenge, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, then it will be in vain." But you're a businessman, and what you dream about every day is how to make more money and open more stores, right? Oh, by the way, what you need to worry more about is that the shops you left in Guzang City really swallowed me or hacked your three friends, then you really can't go back. ”
An Xinggui's face changed greatly, and he suddenly stood up from the Hu bed, and said sharply: "The surname is Wang, how do you know this?" ”
Wang Huaqiang's heart suddenly settled down a lot, these are just his guesses, and there is no evidence, but he has always believed in his own judgment, An Xinggui's reaction is tantamount to not admitting himself, he sneered: "How could those three friends of yours give me all your Guzang shops so easily, the only explanation is that they have already reached an agreement with you, first act to deal with me and General Han, and then cooperate with the outside and find a way to squeeze me away, because last time my target was only to you alone, and I didn't trouble them, So the only way to let you go to the Western Regions, right? ”
An Xinggui's eyes rolled, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed: "Wang Huaqiang, can you really guess, this time you guessed correctly, do you know the way?" What I hate the most is your self-righteousness, if you can really pinch it, will you take the initiative to send it to death? I'm a little curious now, since you know all this, why are you willing to come here alone to die? Do you expect to rely on this three-inch incorruptible tongue again this time to move me to give up killing you?
Wang Huaqiang, I might as well make it clear to you this time, kill you, I can still take back my shop, and I can still go back to Guzang, anyway, Han Baohu is dead, and there will be no one to protect you, this time we have also inquired clearly, you came to Guzang not for business, and no one even knows that you came to Liangzhou, kill you here, who knows that I did it, hahaha ”
Wang Huaqiang calmly watched An Xinggui finish laughing, and also laughed, An Xinggui was slightly stunned, and said angrily: "What's ridiculous about you kid?" ”
Wang Huaqiang suppressed his laughter, looked at An Xinggui and a gust of wind who were full of anger, and shook his head: "An Xinggui, do you really think that after killing me, the three of them will return to you those shops that used to be yours and are now mine?" ”
The corners of An Xinggui's mouth twitched, and he protested: "I have already made an agreement with President Li and them, and if you are killed, those shops will belong to me." Now is this good opportunity, let me tell you the truth, President Lee, they also mean to do you, so as not to leave trouble. ”
Wang Huaqiang had long expected that Li Fan's three bad embryos must have bad intentions, and he sighed: "An Xinggui, do you think that if you use Li Fan and them as gunmen, you will be able to get back your few broken shops?" I'm afraid you don't believe it yourself. Even if you kill me here today, your store will only be divided among those three guys, and then in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, they will make you unable to even mix in the Western Regions, believe it or not? ”
An Xinggui shook his head: "I don't believe it, because I am living well in the Western Regions now, Datou Khan is now inseparable from me, obeying me, I have also earned him a lot of money in the past few years, helping him build an ironclad army, he will not forget my benefits." If Li Fan and the three of them really have bad intentions, I only need to put the top card on the Silk Road, or specifically target the three of them, then they don't want to mix. ”
Wang Huaqiang sneered: "You just can't judge the situation correctly, Li Fan They said very clearly, since ancient times, no one can cut off the Silk Road trade, you don't want to think about it, your shops are not made by yourself, that is the result of the Ansui brothers and sisters after operating in the Western Regions for many years, today Changsun Sheng can give it to you, tomorrow Datou Khan can be handed over to others, and you are not the only one who can do business, Li Fan, Liang Shuo, Cao Zhen These three, which one can't replace you in the Western Regions?" ”
The cold sweat on An Xinggui's head began to trickle down, Wang Huaqiang's words hit the softest place in his heart one by one, and what he worries most about every day is this, although he has a bright face in the Western Regions and looks rich and rivals the country, but he knows best that as long as Datou Khan says a word, he will become a beggar, and everything is a passing cloud.
Wang Huaqiang saw that An Xinggui was a little tempted, and decided to strike while the iron was hot, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Brother An, I am willing to come here to see you like this today, it has long been calculated, only by showing sincerity, can there be a premise for continuing to cooperate, I know that you actually want to go back to Guzang, but you should also understand that even if you kill me today, you will not be able to go back, why not talk to me about a condition, so that you can return to Guzang City openly?"
