Zhao Tianci has confirmed his judgment so far, these people are indeed the Tatar people who fled into the desert after being dispersed by him. However, he was still very curious about how they gathered together after fleeing into the desert, and it stands to reason that there should be much more than the current four or five hundred people.

Cheng Jike threw the steel knife to the ground, raised his foot and kicked the soldier away, "You guys get away, don't disturb Lao Tzu's sleep!" With that, he turned back into the house and closed the door.

In the current Mongolian desert, although several tribes have united to form an alliance, the power has been very considerable, but they are inseparable from each other and cannot be completely consistent with the outside world, so they still accept the Nafeng of the Jin State and regard themselves as courtiers.

Cheng Gaoyi learned from Zhao Tianci that the Jin Kingdom had changed qualitatively and had actually become a subject state of the Great Song Dynasty, so he naturally would not take them in his eyes anymore. But there are not many people who know about this, and the tribal alliance still regards the Jin country as the upper country, and if it does too much in front of the Jin people and provokes the unanimous crusade of the tribal alliance, it will not be good. So he just said hard words, and if he really wanted to do it, he still had a lot of scruples.

Humpty Dumpty was stunned, stared at by the father and son, and stood there gasping for air.

"Who's inside, come out quickly and be questioned!" Suddenly there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the shop, and the shopkeeper walked in with a strong man in armor.

"My lord, that's them! The man named Ku Lihua inside was their leader. The shopkeeper pointed to the stocky man.

"Ku Lihua? Are you a golden man? He had apparently heard the conversation in the room just now, and walked in and looked left and right and asked.

The Humpty Dumpty Ku Lihua glanced at the man and snorted, "Exactly! Who are you? ”

The shopkeeper followed and said, "This is the centurion Mu Rigude who is stationed in our Happy Horse Town, you dare to be so presumptuous?" ”

Ku Lihua said disdainfully, "Just a centurion, what's the big deal, there are thousands of people like this in my Tatar department!" ”

Na Mu Ri's face changed, "Since your envoy is from the kingdom, do you have an official document?" ”

Ku Lihua was stunned for a moment, and immediately covered up the past, "The official document is naturally available, but you are not qualified to check it, and it will naturally be given to him when you see your big leader." ”

Mu Ri Gude's face changed again, "Mu Ri Gude was ordered to patrol here, and suspicious people in the past have the right to investigate, and please don't embarrass me." ”

Ku Lihua said, "We just want to stay in the hotel, do we have to be so troublesome?" ”

The people who were kicked out next to him were unwilling, "If you want to stay in the hotel, are you going to kick us out?" ”

"It's too domineering!"

"You said it was an envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, fake, right?"

"That's right! It must be fake! Maybe the robbers came from somewhere! ”

“……”

The men were clamoring and shouting.

Ku Lihua's face turned red, and he said loudly, "Shut up Lao Tzu!" If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful of your dogs! ”

"My lord, this is on our land, how can we let the gangsters of his clan run rampant here?"

"Your Excellency, you have to be the master for us!"

I don't know who shouted, and the others followed suit, and the chaos was not lively.

Mu Ri Gude waved his hand with a cold face, and said to Ku Lihua, "Recently, I heard that it is not very peaceful over there, if your envoy can't show his identity documents, then don't blame me for being polite." ”

Ku Lihua's face had turned into a purple pig's liver, and his eyes were as wide as two copper bells, "Lao Tzu said, when I see your big leader, I will naturally show him, are you deaf?" ”

"I heard that there was civil strife in Jin, and your Tatar department colluded with several other ministries to rebel, and was broken up by the imperial army, didn't you escape?" Someone in the crowd shouted again.

Ku Lihua suddenly turned his head to look at the crowd, "Who?" Who's talking? ”

The crowd retreated, and no one paid any attention to him.

Mu Ri Gude's face became extremely ugly, "If you push back and can't prove your identity, I'm going to take someone!" ”

Ku Lihua said angrily, "Bold! How dare you take me? Do you think my brothers are vegetarians? ”

Mu Ri Gude's eyes swept around, "I have seen a lot of thieves than you, but it is the first time that you are so arrogant." He frowned and waved his hand, "Ready!" ”

There was a commotion outside, the doors and windows of the shop were opened at the same time, and countless bows and arrows entered.

The muscles on Ku Lihua's face trembled a few times, and the soldiers under him tightened their grips on their weapons and gathered them back to back.

"Brother, do you have to do this?" Ku Lihua began to sweat on his forehead.

Mu Rigude said coldly, "A few days ago, there was also a bandit with more people than you, and it was in this place that I made human meat buns, do you want to try it?" ”

"Brother, can you take a step to speak?" Ku Li Huaqiang squeezed out a smile and said.

"Didn't you say that a centurion like me has thousands under you?" Mu Ri Gude said with a cold face, "If you have something to say, just say it here, don't want to play any tricks!" ”

Ku Lihua grinned, took out a shiny bead from his arms, Mu Ri Gude's eyes lit up, but suddenly there was an exclamation in his ears, "Oops! Watch out for hidden weapons! Seeing that the bead actually flew up from Ku Lihua's hand, it came straight to the door in front of him.

Mu Ri was shocked, his body twisted back quickly, the steel knife in his hand suddenly swung out, and he shouted, "Bold!" How dare you plot against me! ”

Ku Lihua seemed to be unresponsive, watching the big knife slash through his chest, "You ......"

Blood gushed out, Ku Lihua's eyes straightened, his expression was painful, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

Mu Ri Gude's knife used all his strength, directly breaking through Ku Lihua's armor and cutting a long cut in his chest.

"Murder! Run! The men standing next to them screamed and fled. However, they fled in the direction of their own rooms, scrambled to close the door, and never came out again. And the fastest one was the shopkeeper, and his body turned and disappeared.

"General!" The soldiers around Ku Lihua hurriedly supported him, but he couldn't speak anymore.

"Why ......?" The two of them put the soft Ku Lihua on the ground, their eyes breathed fire, and slowly pulled out the waist knife.

"He plotted against me first, I just wanted to protect myself, what are you going to do?" Mu Ri Gude took two steps back, "Aren't you all afraid of death?" ”

"Avenge the General!" The two of them let out a loud shout and swung their knives at Mu Ri Gude.

"Avenge the General!" The others shouted as well, some rushing towards Muri Gude and others towards the door.

Although Mu Ri Gude arranged archers outside, they were only used to deter the enemy, and he himself was still inside, and he would not be spared if the arrows flew indiscriminately. Now seeing that these people were red-eyed and trying to find him desperately, he immediately panicked, and shouted as he retreated, "Don't come here, abandon the weapon immediately, I can wait for ......."

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen steel knives fell on him one after another, and he fell to the ground with a scream, and more than a dozen steel knives fell at the same time...... and just like that, poor Mu Ri Gude was divided alive.

The people in ambush outside couldn't see what was going on inside, and they didn't dare to act rashly. And the Jin soldiers who rushed out of the door had already begun to move on them.

A scuffle immediately ensued.

Zhao Tianci hid in the corner and sneered secretly, he just made a small gesture, and the two groups immediately fought together.

Ku Lihua wanted to exchange a Night Pearl for Mu Ri's concession, but he didn't expect the Night Pearl to become a secret weapon, which made him give away his life.

The screams and shouts were incessant, and all the soldiers in the store rushed to the door, and the people who were lying in ambush outside were attacked, so they no longer cared about the situation in the store, and all threw themselves into the battle to kill the enemy and protect themselves.

Due to the sudden situation, the people outside were killed by surprise, and the disadvantage was immediately apparent, but after the initial panic, they immediately stabilized their positions, broke away from contact with the Jin soldiers, and began to use the bows and arrows in their hands against them.

With the sound of swishing, the golden soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and some people turned their heads and ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, but in this way, they became more and more people's live targets.

In less than half an hour, the battle outside was over.

The patrolmen outside were covered in blood, leaving one part to clean up the battlefield, and the other part rushed into the store, only to find that their centurion had been cut to a bloody pulp, and they were all stunned.

After a while, the men found a few rags, wrapped Mu Ri Gude's body, and carefully carried them out.

It wasn't until everyone was gone that the shopkeeper cautiously walked out of the room, he beckoned all the guys to come and clean the room, and Zhao Tianci also took the opportunity to return to his room and continue his unfinished sleep plan.

Although they were frightened, all the tenants woke up early as if nothing had happened, and said nothing about what happened last night.

When the guy came to deliver breakfast, Zhao Tianci grabbed him and asked, "Why did you ...... such a big thing happened last night?" Aren't you afraid? ”

Who knew that the guy laughed, "The guest officer doesn't come often, right?" Why is it called Happy Horse Town? That's because there are a lot of displaced people here, and our store will be every three days and five days, and there will inevitably be such a show, and last night it was nothing at all. ”

Although Zhao Tianci didn't understand it very well, he was relieved when he thought of the situation here and now. When basic living conditions are threatened, there will not be much difference between human and animal reactions.

After cleaning up, Cheng Gaoyi and his son counted the number of people, and after confirming that there were no omissions, they prepared to continue north. Just when they were about to go out, they were kept by the shopkeeper's "kind words".

It turned out that a centurion died last night, which is not a trivial matter, and it is necessary to have an explanation to the top, so the owner of the store forced all the guests to stay, promising that all expenses will be free, and let them give him a testimony at that time, otherwise this crime will weigh on his head, not only will his personal life be guaranteed, but I am afraid that his family will also be affected.

But Cheng Gaoyi and the others were unwilling to stay and give him any certificates, anyway, there were so many people, many of them, and the shopkeeper didn't force them too much, and let them leave after settling the bill. (To be continued.) )
