Mai Tiezhu laughed when he heard this, and wrote: "This is relieving, men should fight, and I don't look down on these Sogdians if I change them, so I can either spend money to redeem the goods, or I will make a detour to go back, and cry is useless."

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, and wrote: Don't talk about the iron rod, that batch of goods is all the belongings of these Sogdian merchants, and they are gone, and they can't even go back to their homes, so don't blame people for crying.

At that time, I said that you sergeants are very powerful, and as a soldier, you can't protect the safety of the caravan, but you drink and laugh at people here, don't you feel blushing?

Xue Ju was so angry that he smashed the bowl, rushed to me and wanted to move, the smell of wine sprayed on my face, although I was a little scared in my heart, but I always felt that I had taken advantage of it, there was no need to retreat, so I stared at him with my head held high, without blinking my eyes.

I stared at Xue Ju like this for a long time, he smiled, said that I was a warrior, and asked me if I dared to go with him to snatch the goods back, although I didn't believe that he had this ability, but I always felt that he might know these bandits, and those people were entrenched in the front road, and I couldn't get by, so I thought that if I could catch up with these bandits, it would be good to spend some money to buy the road, and I couldn't just go back.

So I said, if you don't dare, Xue Ju immediately pulled me, followed him, and four or five of his brothers rode to the mountains west of the city.

The one who robbed these Sogdian goods was the Hu people and horse bandits in the Qilian Mountains, the leader was surnamed Ju, nicknamed Sha Mantian, strong in martial arts, came and went without a trace, he had his own eyeliner in Jincheng, and this Jincheng was a necessary place on the Silk Road, so as long as there was a caravan to Jincheng, he would take people to ambush and attack as soon as possible. The government once attacked his cottage. But this man is very cunning. When the army went, he fled to Hehuang with his men, and as soon as the army withdrew, he returned, and the defenders of Jincheng could not catch him several times, so they were too lazy to destroy him.

Xue Ju knew the location of his cottage because of this, and he probably also knew that if the army was dispatched, Sha Mantian would definitely run away without a trace, so he simply took only four or five people and rode into the mountain. He went to his cottage and shouted at him to return the looted goods to the Sogdian merchants.

Mai Tiezhu's brow furrowed, and he wrote: Just four or five people? Isn't it too much? There are hundreds or thousands of horse thieves.

Wang Huaqiang recalled the scene at that time, still pinched his sweat, and wrote: But isn't it, I was also young and vigorous at that time, and I would follow Xue Ju like this on impulse.

However, the people of Longyou are strong and advocate force. Everyone was in awe of the real heroes, and Xue Ju only brought a few people over to challenge. Those horse bandits still think he is quite kind, so they didn't shoot him with arrows, when it was just after the dawn, Sha Mantian also took more than 20 people to ride out of the cottage, and when he saw that Xue Ju was just a teenager, he laughed and said that the little hairy child also dared to come to make trouble, let him hurry back.

Xue Ju actually dared to come at the beginning because he drank too much wine and was impulsive, and he already regretted it a little at this time, but he scolded Sha Mantian like this, and he couldn't get on the stage, so he told Sha Mantian that he was a giant who crisscrossed the north and south of the Qilian Mountains, and dared to fight alone with him, a little hairy boy, if he won, he would return the goods of those Sogdians, and if he lost, this life would be given to him.

Sha Mantian was hit by an arrow in the battle the day before, and he was slashed, and he was injured, he wanted to refuse, but his daughter Ju Hongscarf took the initiative to come out to fight, saying that he wanted to teach Xue Ju, a fanatic who didn't know the height of the sky, a lesson. This red scarf was only twenty years old that year, born beautiful like a flower, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he is skilled in bows and horses, especially good at flying knives, and his martial arts are not much better than Sha Mantian, and he has never lost since his debut, so Sha Mantian thought about it at the time and agreed.

Next is the battle between Xue Ju and Ju Hongscarf, Xue Ju also taught martial arts to the rivers and lakes when he was a child, brave and powerful, and his arms have the strength of a thousand catties, which Sha Mantian father and daughter did not expect at all, and Xue Ju is proficient in marksmanship, and he actually learned the family marksmanship of Xiliang Jin Ma Chao in the Three Kingdoms, although Ju Hongscarf is also a double knife, the knife is exquisite, but after all, it is a woman, and she suffers a loss in strength, if it is not for her mount is Tuyuhun's heavenly horse, the divine horse is very, I am afraid that I will lose in Baihe.

Xue Ju suffered a loss on the horse that day, his war horse was just an ordinary mount, often after knocking open the double knife of the red scarf, but he escaped quickly by his horse, unable to form a continuous attack, the two fought this battle for two or three hours, from the time of the hour to the afternoon after the Shen time, still could not tell the winner.

Xue Ju didn't know what the plan was, and chased after him tightly, I saw it clearly, I saw the hand of the red scarf raised, Xue Ju screamed, and got off the horse, my heart jumped suddenly, the secret road was broken, Xue Ju died, I was afraid that it would be difficult for me to get out.

Wang Huaqiang wrote this, took a sip of water unhurriedly, and when he heard the key point, he couldn't care about writing, his eyes were blazing, and he said hurriedly: "Okay, say it quickly, what happened later?" ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled and continued to write: Xue Ju was motionless on the ground, and the Ju Red Scarf triumphantly rode a horse to him, jumped off the horse and was about to take off Xue Ju's head, but he never thought that Xue Ju on the ground suddenly burst out, grabbed Ju Hongscarf's legs, and knocked her to the ground.

Sha Mantian and we didn't expect this change, so they rushed forward in unison, didn't run two steps, but found two figures standing up from the ground, Xue Ju's left shoulder was bleeding, his left hand was holding Ju Hongscarf's waist, but his right hand was holding a blood-dripping flying knife, which was on Ju Hongscarf's neck, and screamed proudly, who won and who lost this time!

Mai Tiezhu understood and wrote: It must be the flying knife, right?

Wang Huaqiang nodded: Yes, later Xue Ju told me that his horse is not as good as Ju Hongscarf, always fight like this, and he can't win after three days and three nights, I wanted to take this flying knife, but Ju Hongscarf's flying knife is really powerful, he didn't catch it, he pierced his shoulder, and when he fell off the horse, he didn't pretend.

As a result, he calculated on the ground, only by pretending to be dead and letting Ju Hongscarf get close and fighting in close quarters could he have a chance of winning, because at that time his spear also fell off, and there was no weapon on his body, and when Ju Hongscarf dismounted, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the flying knife on his shoulder, which restrained Ju Hongscarf.

When Sha Mantian saw that his beloved daughter was captured, he panicked, and hurriedly came over and said that he was willing to return the goods, and asked Xue Ju to release his daughter, Xue Ju wanted to do so, but I said on the side that I couldn't release the hostages at this time, and asked his brothers to tie up the Ju red scarf and take it back as a hostage, and then let Sha Mantian send the goods back to Jincheng, and then let his daughter go.

Xue Ju also shed a lot of blood at that time, and there was no strength to fight again, there were four or five of us, even if Sha Mantian gave us the goods, we could not transport it back, although Sha Mantian was so angry that he wanted to blow up, but he had no choice but to watch us take the Ju red scarf and go back to Jincheng.

The supreme governor of Jincheng at that time was Li Jing, the assassin of Lanzhou, and Sima Wang of Jincheng, as soon as he saw that Xue Ju had captured Sha Mantian's daughter, he was overjoyed, and ordered to kill Ju Hongscarf on the spot to pay tribute to the caravan guards and soldiers who died in the hands of Sha Mantian's bandit gang in recent years, I hurriedly stopped Li Tingshi, saying that if I killed Sha Mantian's daughter, it would only make Sha Mantian hate the government even more from now on, so it was better to use this as a bait to recruit An Sha Mantian, so that we could solve the bandit near Jincheng once and for all.

Li Tingshi and Wang Sima listened to my words, and a day later, Sha Mantian really sent someone to send the goods back to Jincheng, and the one who came to deliver the goods at that time was the number one general under Xue Ju now, Zong Luoyu, who was the second leader of Sha Mantian's gang, Zong Luoyu, Thorn Shi and Xue Ju received the goods, but did not release them immediately, but talked with Zong Luoyan about Zhao'an.

Li Tingshi personally promised that if Sha Mantian was willing to change his evil and return to the imperial court, he would be incorporated into Jincheng's defense force and let him be the general of Jincheng's chariot cavalry. (To be continued......)
