The desert is full of wolf smoke, wind and sand, the desert is not as good as the Central Plains, and there will be a period of time in the black sandstorm every year.

The yellow sand was swept up by the storm to obscure the sky and the sun, and in this weather, both business travelers and horse bandits could only find a place to hide.

"Boss, let's stay out of the way. ”

"If we delay the dishes of the knifeless customers, we will not survive. ”

The few people who spoke were the horse bandits who had been incorporated into a food delivery team by the knifeless people that day.

"This ghost weather is expected to be understood by the swordless seniors. A horse bandit comforted.

"It is unlikely that anyone will walk in this desert in this weather, and the swordless seniors should forgive us. The bandit leader comforted himself in the same way.

As he spoke, the men ran towards a broken beacon tower, where they had just settled.

"Boss, someone seems to be coming over there. It was Ma Liu, who was frightened by Chu Tianxing that day, who spoke.

The bandits looked in the direction of his finger and found nothing.

The bandit leader came up and gave him a mouth, since they sent food to the knifeless customers, Ma Liu's status in this gang of bandits has declined sharply, originally the bandits and others are tired and rest, no money to come out to rob, now every day is busy to death, and even in order to protect the vegetables in their hands, they do not hesitate to fight with other horse bandits, and were once ridiculed by other horse bandits, calling them the most industrious thieves in the desert.

But it's not without benefits, no one dares to rob this horse bandit who delivers vegetables for a long time, they all know that this is the Knifeless Soldier's subordinates, and the Knifeless Guest gives them a lot of money every time.

"It's all because of you that Lao Tzu and his brothers are mixed like this. The bandit leader complained and raised his hand to beat Ma Liu.

"What do you look like?"

The bandit turned around and knocked a horse bandit behind him to the ground: "Dare to take Lao Tzu's words, don't you want to live?"

This horse bandit was also very aggrieved: "Boss, I didn't say it. ”

The horse bandits suddenly panicked, took out the knives on their bodies and looked towards the exit, at this time the black sandstorm had covered everything, and they couldn't see the outside situation clearly.

A man walked in in the sandstorm wearing a cloak and a hat, and after coming in, he dusted off the sand on his body: "Why don't you know me?"

The bandit leader only felt familiar and couldn't remember it for a while, and Ma Liu collapsed to the ground in fright: "You are... Ah San, no, Ah Sango. ”

The bandit leader hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Third brother, we didn't mean to delay, it's just that the wind and sand are too big today, let's leave now, let's leave now." As he spoke, he picked up the others and walked out.

Chu Tianxing stopped them and said, "How to walk with such a big wind and sand, rest here with peace of mind, and when the sandstorm passes, we will go back together." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Sange. The hearts of the bandits finally let go.

In this way, a day passed, and the sandstorm outside was even bigger, and the horse bandits and Chu Tianxing were also a little hungry.

Chu Tianxing ordered: "Take out the wine and food!"

"It's... Third brother, if the swordless seniors ask, what should we do?" Although the bandit leader's eyes were green when he was hungry, he still didn't dare to eat.

"When he asked, you said I'll let you eat. Chu Tianxing slapped open the wine seal and drank in a big gulp.

The horse bandits also took out vegetables to replenish water there, and Chu Tianxing liked to chat when he drank wine: "How is the tavern business now?"

"It's still like that, and there aren't a few people in a month, but the oil and water are really big, and it's better to make money than being a horse bandit. Ma Liu's eyes lit up as he spoke.

Chu Tianxing nodded: "You work hard, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

"Third brother, where did you come from?" The bandit leader asked cautiously.

Chu Tianxing glared at him: "What are you asking for?"

Frightened, the bandit leader hurriedly kowtowed: "The little one said it wrong, it was wrong." ”

Chu Tianxing was drunk: "Forget it, it's okay to tell you, I came back because I had some news and wanted to ask my master." ”

"Third brother, what's the news?" Ma Liu asked.

Chu Tianxing thought for a while and said, "It's a paragraph, I don't understand what it means, I want to ask Master and his old man." ”

The bandit leader hurriedly stopped Ma Liu and scolded: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't affect the rest of the third brother." ”

The group fell asleep deeply, until the next morning, Chu Tianxing woke up, and the horse bandits looked at him with a melancholy face.

"What's wrong? What are you staring at me?"

The bandit leader wiped the sweat on his head: "Third brother, you have been talking in your sleep last night. ”

"What did I say?"

"The Tao rushes to use it, or it does not make a profit. The abyss is like the sect of all things. Solve its disputes, and its light, with its dust, like or exist. ”

Chu Tianxing patted his head and was very annoyed, he shouldn't have drunk, such an important matter actually leaked out like this.

Seeing Chu Tianxing's actions, the bandit leader thought: It's over, this is going to start.

The bandit leader hurriedly said: "Third brother, in fact, we have seen what you said. ”

Chu Tianxing came to the spirit: "Tell me quickly, where have you seen it?"

"Over there in the Golden City. Ma Liu said tremblingly.

Chu Tianxing grew up in the desert since he was a child, he had heard of the name Golden City, it was very far away from the desert tavern, it was about ten days to walk in the desert, it was a comfortable nest for all bandits, as long as you had money, you could do whatever you wanted in it, and even conflict with people in it, you could hire a killer at that time, and when he got out of the Golden City, he would give it to him, of course, this kind of thing rarely happens, and the Golden City is mainly engaged in trading, gambling and entertainment.

The wind and sand outside gradually decreased, and Chu Tianxing and the horse bandits rushed all the way to the desert tavern.

On the way, the horse bandits briefly introduced the rules of the Golden City to Chu Tianxing:

First, it is forbidden to kill people in the Golden City, which has been fundamental since the establishment of the Golden City.

Second, it costs money to enter the Golden City, and the money that comes out is less than when you come in, whether it is to buy calligraphy, paintings, ink treasures or other things, in short, the silver taels must be less than when you come in.

Thirdly, once the gambling starts, if you don't have as many chips as the other party, you can use the secrets of the rivers and lakes to mortgage the martial arts cheats.

Chu Tianxing still planned to go back to the Desert Tavern to take a look at a few masters, but he remembered what the Bladeless Ke had said before, not to let him have anything to do with the Desert Tavern, and his eyes rolled and he had a plan.

"That's... Do you have any money with you?" Chu Tianxing asked as he pretended not to care.

The bandit leader clenched the money bag in his hand: "There is no money." ”

"Take it!" Chu Tianxing stretched out his hand and grabbed the money bag, opened it and saw that there were only a few taels of silver inside, and a meal in the desert tavern was at least five hundred taels of silver.

A group of horse bandits came on, and it seemed that they had just finished robbing the big box and the small box were pulling back, and they ran into Chu Tianxing head-on, and the group of horse bandits laughed and said, "Oh, isn't this a vegetable bandit? How many vegetables did you rob today?"

After speaking, the horse bandits behind him burst into laughter, Chu Tianxing was worried that he had no money, this group of people solved their urgent needs, and after a burst of screams, this group of people cried and ran away.

Chu Tianxing counted about two thousand taels of silver, and after calculating it, it was still a little worse, so he asked, "Where are there more horse bandits?"

The bandit leader thought for a while: "Third brother, it's the off-season, there are fewer horse bandits, do you want it?"

Chu Tianxing nodded calmly: "I want to rob the robbers." ”

Hearing this, a group of horse bandits were full of black lines, and the originally active atmosphere suddenly dropped to the bottom, as if this sentence evoked that sad past.

I used to be a happy and carefree horse bandit, running in the vast desert, until that day my fate changed, and the people in that tavern changed my ideals in life, and from then on my name was the vegetable bandit.

I think of that afternoon at sunset...
