Chapter 71: The Horse Bandits Are Coming
In the following time, Yang Chengzong said a lot of details about the robbery of the goods, and Xu Chong's heart was full of doubts.
I couldn't help but ask again: "How many times did the horse bandits rob your goods in total?" ”
"Three times!"
Yang Chengzong sighed: "Every time we leave after grabbing, we don't dare to resist at all, and if we resist them, we will kill people." ”
Xu Chong frowned and said, "These horse bandits, what are they from?" ”
Yang Chengzong said: "It's not very clear what the origin is, but their leader is called Blue and Black Dragon, and his martial arts strength is very strong, and it is said that he has reached the late stage of martial arts, and he is entrenched in the area of Huanglongling all year round. ”
"Blue-black dragon?"
Xu Chong asked again: "How many people do they have?" ”
Yang Chengzong shook his head again, "This is really not clear, because they have less than 100 horsemen every time they go out, all of them are well-trained, come and go like the wind, and their combat effectiveness is extremely fierce." ”
"I've inquired everywhere during this time, and some people say that there are hundreds of people in the blue-black dragon's stockade, and some people say that there are dozens of people in the blue-black dragon, anyway, no one can say how many people there are."
Xu Chong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "This is strange, according to what you say, the blue and black dragon is outside the pass, and it can be regarded as a well-known horse bandit, since you should be filial every year, even if they don't talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes, they shouldn't just stare at your family to rob it." ”
Yang Chengzong nodded, "We have always been puzzled, but our Yang family really hasn't offended them." ”
Xu Chong said: "Every time the blue and black dragon robs your team, do you leave a word, or ask for conditions or something?" ”
"Nope!"
Yang Chengzong shook his head and said: "If they put forward conditions, the matter will be solved, but in the current situation, I don't know what their purpose is, it feels like they want to exterminate our Yang family." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Xu Chong with a solemn expression, "This time for our Yang family, it is indeed a matter of life and death, if we don't get back the lost goods, our Yang family will be bankrupt." ”
"Lin Xiaosong, the Immortal Master of Dahe County, has a little friendship with me, I originally planned to ask him to help, but he said that this matter was too tricky, and with his ability, it was not enough to deal with it, so he asked me to come to Liangzhou to find Xu Immortal Master."
"He said that Immortal Master Xu has great powers and has a righteous mind, as long as he comes forward, he will definitely help our Yang family tide over this difficulty."
Hearing this, Xu Chong waved his hand again and again and said, "Immortal Master Lin thinks too highly of Xu. So Brother Yang is looking for me this time to recover the looted goods for your Yang family, right? ”
Yang Chengzong nodded and said, "We are desperate, and we ask Immortal Master Xu to help." ”
After speaking, he took out two yellow gold bars and handed them to Xu Chong.
"When we meet for the first time, please also ask the immortal master to smile, and after the goods are recovered, our Yang family will have another heavy reward......"
"Brother Yang, hey...... Brother Yang, what are you doing here? ”
Xu Chong saw the gold bar in his hand, and his heart blossomed.
But for the sake of face, he had to pretend, he just excused himself and said: "Brother Yang, don't be like this, it is the duty of my generation of monks to punish the evil and eliminate the evil, hoe the strong and help the weak, besides, you were introduced by Lin Immortal Master, so I am embarrassed, quickly take back the gold bar, I promise you ......"
"Be careful, Immortal Master Xu."
"Don't, don't...... I really can't accept it, Brother Yang, I really can't accept it......"
The bean fairy kept prevaricating in his mouth, but his hand had already reached over and took the gold bar. "Hey...... Brother Yang, look at you, I said no, you have to stuff it for me. ”
Yang Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "That...... There is Lao Xu Immortal Master in this matter? ”
Xu Chong nodded and said confidently: "Don't worry, this matter will be handled properly for you." ”
"This matter is urgent, I don't know when Immortal Master Xu will leave?"
"Just today, I'll go back and get ready."
"Okay, I have prepared a mount for the immortal master below, and I am waiting for you at any time."
………………
Three days later, outside the gate, the wind roared to the fort.
Fengming Fort is a large-scale market town outside the Guan, and it is also an important transit station for merchants to stop and replenish supplies.
The market town is very lively, there are many caravans of carriages and horses, and there are many hawk-nosed and deep-eyed alien Hu people.
At the door of the warehouse of a cargo store, Yang Chengzong is directing a group of men, busy carrying goods and loading trucks.
Xu Chong stood aside, looking down and thinking about something.
The tiger servant stood behind the immortal, looking around vigilantly.
Fengming Fort is more than 300 miles away from the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty, and it is already the territory of the Hu people of the alien race.
Similarly, most of the horse bandits and horse thieves outside the customs are Hu people of different races.
He and Yang Chengzong rushed to Fengming Fort this morning, because their Yang family still had the last batch of goods, and they had not been transported back here.
I didn't dare to transport it to the customs because I was afraid of being robbed by horse bandits.
Now that they have the bean Daxian in charge, they can transport the goods back with confidence.
The last batch of goods was not very large, only a dozen carts, and soon, the guys loaded the goods.
Yang Chengzong came to Xu Chong's side and asked puzzledly: "Immortal Master Xu, why don't you get all the goods back and transport them back to Liangzhou together?" ”
Xu Chong shook his head and said: "The gate is so big, there are forces of foreign Hu people everywhere, if you want to find the lair of the blue and black dragon here, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, since your Yang family has been targeted by them, as long as the convoy is on the road again, they will definitely appear." ”
Hearing this, Yang Chengzong's heart moved, "Then what does Immortal Master Xu mean is to use this last batch of goods to lure them into the bait?" ”
"That's right."
Xu Chong nodded and said, "As long as this group of horse bandits appears, I will have a way to track them all the way to find their lair." ”
"The goods you were robbed of before, to say the least, there must be nearly a hundred trucks, right?"
"With such a huge batch of goods, this group of horse bandits snatched it back, and they had to find a place to settle it. So, if you find the lair of the blue-black dragon, you will be able to find these goods. ”
Yang Chengzong didn't say anything, and said directly: "Since Immortal Master Xu has a countermeasure, we just need to act according to Immortal Master's plan." ”
"By the way, now that the wagons, horses, and goods are ready, do you want to leave now?"
"Let's go."
Soon, Xu Chong and the tiger servant turned over and got on the horse, while Yang Chengzong led a convoy full of goods and left Fengming Castle in a mighty way.
The convoy was on the road, driving slowly and slowly.
All afternoon, all without incident.
Before you know it, the sun is setting in the west, and it is gradually getting to the evening.
At this moment, in front of the road, a rolling loess mountain range appeared.
These mountains are generally not very high, but there are many canyons and valleys inside.
Looking at the Loess Ridge in front of him, the horsemen and men who were driving the car behind him all looked solemn and looked a little nervous.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chong couldn't help but turn his head and ask Yang Chengzong, "Is it Huanglongling in front?" ”
"Exactly!"
Yang Chengzong pointed to the front and said: "Before, we had several batches of goods, but after entering Huanglongling, they were robbed by horse bandits. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising from the wasteland in front of him, and faintly, there seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves.
Suddenly, the men and grooms who were driving the car turned pale with fright and trembled with fear.
"Horse bandits! It's a horse bandit! ”
"The horse bandits are coming, everyone be on guard......"
Yang Chengzong's face was also a little unsightly, and he hurriedly came to Xu Chong's side, pointed to the left front and said, "Immortal Master Xu, the horse bandits are here, they are them." ”
Following the direction of his finger, Xu Chong looked up and saw dozens of horse bandits, riding fast horses galloping after him.
"In broad daylight, these horse bandits are so unscrupulous, but it's just right, I wasted my energy to find them."
Xu Chong frowned, and said to everyone with an indifferent expression: "You don't have to panic, it's just a few horse bandits, what's there to be afraid of, there are immortals here today, to ensure that you are all unscathed." ”
"Let's just put the carriage in a circle and hide."
