Chapter 12: A Trip to the Desert

The three of them looked at each other and laughed, Shi Zhong was about to play a song to relieve everyone's boredom, when he suddenly heard a shout that shook the sky, and the beating of gongs and drums was chaotic, Feng Yan reflexively jumped up and protected Liu Ye behind him.

When the division got up and looked, he saw a group of shirtless men whistling with sticks, they were thin and dark-skinned, and there were many old people and children among them, not like bandits who made a living from robbery.

"Protect the princess!" Shi Zhong narrowed his long eyes slightly, his eyes were cold and solemn, and he was not as weak as usual.

Feng Yan nodded hurriedly, the first time she saw this kind of battle, she said that she was not afraid that it would be a lie, although she also practiced martial arts, but with General Chang Hui, it was not her turn to make a move.

Feng Yan hugged Liu Ye into the carriage, and the two looked out through the gap in the window, the group of people were babbling and running fast, unkempt and ragged, all of them were fierce and vicious, but listening carefully, they were obviously lacking in confidence.

Chang Hui looked at them coldly with the hilt of his sword, and he couldn't see a trace of panic, and when the other party approached, he said to Shizhong: "My lord, get in the car and rest, so as not to splash blood later." ”

Shizhong did not shirk, he expected that these people were not Chang Hui's opponents, and sure enough, Chang Hui raised his knife and cut off the head of the person in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Ah......" Liu Ye and Feng Yan exclaimed in unison, they had grown so big, they had never seen a murder scene, this good person was separated from the corpse in an instant, and the blood spattered desert, how could they not panic.

The head that was cut off by Chang Hui's sword rolled in front of Liu Ye with a gurgling roll, and the eyes that could still roll stared at her, and opened his mouth wide unwillingly, as if to say "I don't want to die". The viscous blood quickly soaked into the yellow sand, and the air was filled with a rich fishy smell, which made people sick.

Liu Ye's heart was about to jump out, he spit a few mouthfuls of water at the window, and obediently dripped, this is not a horror movie, he really died, and he died in front of her!

The shouting crowd fell silent instantly, they were dumbfounded, staring at the long sword that was dripping blood in Chang Hui's hand, their heads were blank, and they couldn't say anything.

Chang Hui's face was expressionless, as if he had just killed a chicken, he grabbed the man's head and threw it at them, and the crowd retreated, as if it were deadly explosives, and if he touched it, he would be crushed.

"Whoever dares to stop me from driving the Han Emperor will be killed!"

Chang Huisen's cold roar seemed to come from the Hades Palace, and the few slightly strong men who rushed to the front row began to be timid, their hands holding sticks trembled, and their dark and peeling feet involuntarily retreated.

At this time, one of the men shouted in stiff Chinese: "This is our territory, pass from here, give money!" ”

As soon as he took the lead, the others woke up like a dream and shouted: "Give money, give money, give money......"

These people are crazy about money, their companions have just died tragically, and they still want money to die!

Chang Hui's patience is at the limit, he knows that people who ask for money and don't want to die are the most terrible, these barbarians who are hungry and cold in the desert are as fierce as hungry wolves, and dare to fight for their lives in order to get their prey. If the sword just now can't cut their anger, then they can only fall into a bitter battle.

Until the last resort, Chang Hui didn't want to kill, and there were hundreds of soldiers accompanying him in the team, all of whom were young, strong, and well-trained, if they really fought, these people in front of him were not opponents at all. But there is a long way to go, they must retain their strength, and if someone is injured in the melee, there is only one way to die.

In any case, the safety of Princess Xie Wei is very important, even if she fights to the last soldier, Chang Hui can't hesitate.

The screams of the group grew louder and louder, and the initial fear was gradually replaced by anger, and since they dared to fight hard, they did not think of retreating from the battle. Now that a person has died, they simply let it go, fight to the death, and maybe they can save food for their wives and children.

Chang Hui's soldiers only waited for an order, and the barbarians who had lost their minds showed a fierce light, and the two sides were about to fight, when suddenly someone shouted "stop".

Liu Ye got out of the car despite Feng Yan's dissuasion, deliberately ignored the bloodstains on the ground, endured the smell of blood and walked in front of the group of people without fear, and said in the Western Regions: "If you have any requirements, you can put them forward with me, and I will try my best to help you." Now that you have lost a companion, why should you die innocently! Think of your family, they don't want gold and silver, they want your ......."

Chang Hui didn't expect Liu Ye to come forward, but she was afraid that the barbarians would hurt her, so she hurriedly pulled her back: "Princess, you don't have to reason with these people, even if they get the money, they won't let us go." ”

"No, I'm going to say." Liu Ye gently pushed Chang Hui away and continued, "I think you have no choice but to do this, but don't forget, your parents, wives and children are still looking forward to your return at home, if I can solve your difficulties, why don't you talk calmly!" ”

Before the words fell, someone smacked suddenly: "Fuck you, you still have the face to lie to us, you Han people don't have a good thing, you don't treat us people from the Western Regions as people, you want to talk about it, okay, you kill him now, avenge my brother, I'll talk to you!" ”

Liu Ye sighed and said, "I also regret that this kind of thing happened, if it wasn't for your coercion first, General Chang wouldn't have made a move." You should understand that whether it is in the Han Dynasty or the Western Regions, anyone who dares to stand in the way of the emperor will be killed, and I stepped forward to stop it, because I don't want things that could have been resolved peacefully to the point of meeting each other with blood. ”

"Phew, you don't pretend to be a good person here, you are all breathing out of one nostril, how can you be so kind to think about us! Aren't you afraid that your people will die and no one will protect you, a noble princess! Hmph, we're not so stupid, we don't eat the fat that is sent to our mouths, if you know each other, go away, Lao Tzu can reward you with a whole corpse! ”

"How can this be, you people who don't know what to do! Suffer death! Chang Hui didn't bother to say anything more to them, and was about to kill them with a shout.

"General Chang, don't be impatient!"

Liu Ye was still calm and calm, and glanced at the man lightly: "Since you think so, I don't need to say much, but I want to warn you that the Han soldiers will fight on the battlefield for many years, and the Huns are not a problem, and it is more than enough to deal with you." This princess has mercy and doesn't want to see your corpses all over the field, but you are rushing to kill you, well, this princess will fulfill you! ”

After speaking, Liu Ye turned around and left, and there was a commotion in the crowd, Chang Hui raised his dangling long sword, and saw that he was about to cut off the neck of the person, and some people finally couldn't help but be frightened, and knelt on the ground and cried.

"The princess spares her life, how can she spare her life...... We just want to eat, we're so hungry......"

Chang Hui looked at Liu Ye hesitantly, Liu Ye nodded, and ordered someone to take some dry food copper plates and scatter them to them, some people scrambled to grab dry food, put it in their arms and bite it in their mouths, and they couldn't wait to stuff it into their stomachs and take it away, and some people lay on the ground to pick up the copper plates, and happily bit and licked them a few times, holding them firmly in their hands for fear of being robbed.

"Princess, these people are robbers, they are clearly bandits, it is not a pity to die a hundred times, you not only intercede for them, but also give them dry food, you must know how important dry food and fresh water are in the desert!" Chang Hui is a straight person, so if he doesn't understand, he asks directly.

Liu Ye replied: "I know, but whether it is a Han or a Western Regions, their lives are worth protecting. If they are really heinous, they will die a well-deserved death under the general's sword, but you look at these people, they are skinny, suffering from war and famine, it is not their fault that they were born in troubled times, the country is not well governed, it is often the common people who suffer, and the creation makes people! I came to the Western Regions to maintain peace this time, and if I cause killing, it will be my sin! ”

Chang Hui thought about it and nodded in agreement, they are thousands of miles away, isn't the purpose of benefiting the people in the world! Princess Xie Wei has such an insight, and she will definitely be able to do something in the future!

Although he lost a lot of dry food, he finally avoided a killing, and Chang Hui looked at this weak princess differently. In order to avoid further accidents on the road, the convoy accelerated the journey and shortened the time, and strived to come to Wusun as soon as possible.
