Chapter 28: Mountaineering (23)
The woman wrapped in black gauze actually spoke pure Huaxia language, although the voice was weak and gnats, but Tianhuo heard it clearly, Tianhuo lifted his spirits and looked at the sand bandits who were escorting the two people on the left and right, they obviously couldn't understand Huaxia, and their faces looked indifferent.
"Don't look at it, except for Hassan, no one here understands Huaxia, these bandits don't care what we say, they are the most ferocious sand bandits within a radius of hundreds of miles, the two of us are their meat tickets, in their eyes they are a bunch of gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and livestock, without any human rights. ”
Tianhuo nodded and asked, "Girl, why was you caught by the sand bandits?"
The woman in black gauze said: "I am the third princess of the Lido Kingdom, a small country on the west side of the Hengduan Sand Sea, and I was attacked and taken captive by the sand bandits, saying that I wanted to sacrifice it to a little king of Xibo in exchange for their protection. ”
Tianhuo belly slandered: "It's the third princess again, the third ranked royal child in the legendary story has always been ill-fated, it sounds like a lie, this story is not made up at all." ”
Of course, Tianhuo would not say what was in his heart, and said with a respectful expression: "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness Princess Sira, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful, this sea of horizontal sand is vast and immense, and the distance is probably far more than ten thousand miles, coupled with the harsh climate, how can your delicate princess persist here?"
Siela sobbed a few times and said, "Tianhuo, don't you believe me? Although I am a princess, I grew up on horseback, and my body is not so delicate. I have been escorted by dozens of different bandits along the way, and I have been walking for more than two years, and I have only walked half the way. ”
Tianhuo was shocked in his heart, the Hengduan Sand Sea was even wider than he imagined, no wonder it would become a natural barrier between the Eastern and Western continents, blocking the communication between the two continents.
Although Tianhuo still didn't believe Sila's words, he no longer exposed them to his face: "Princess Sila, after you were taken captive, didn't your father send troops to rescue you?"
"Our Lido Kingdom is very weak, close to the Hengduan Sand Sea to establish a country, often harassed by the surrounding sand bandits, self-protection is still reluctant, how can we spare troops to send troops to save me. Besides, my father has more than a dozen daughters, and if he has one less, he will feel distressed for a few days at most, and he won't take it too seriously. ”
"Princess Sila, I take the liberty of asking you, why do you speak Huaxia?"
"Tianhuo, you can call me Sira directly, I have fallen here, how dare I call me a princess again. My nurse was sold to the Lido Kingdom by the sand bandits from the Tang Kingdom of Dongshengzhou, and she taught me my Chinese language, and she also told me a lot about the people and customs of the Three Kingdoms of China, which made me yearn for it. ”
Tianhuo had a warm smile on his face, but he thought in his heart: "Make it up, continue to make it up, it's getting more and more like the real thing, this woman is extremely cunning, and it's easy to tell a lie." ”
"Sila, you must be a beautiful woman, you have been with the sand bandits for two years, you should have met a lot of people who are willing to help you along the way, why did you just ask me to save you?"
Siela was silent for a moment, and suddenly pulled down the black veil that covered her face, revealing a face of an exotic woman who was as white as jade and had picturesque eyebrows, although her hair, ears, and neck were still covered by the black veil, but it still couldn't hide her beauty in the prime of life, and the lethality of this face was amazing enough.
Even Tianhuo, a young man who boasted of his amazing concentration and belonging, had a momentary pause in his heart after seeing this face, and then it started quickly again, sounding like a drum.
Tianhuo took a deep breath, closed his eyes and eased up, such a powerful woman, naturally charming.
Sila's beautiful feet can rival Queen Tu or Ah Li when she doesn't control her emotions, so as long as the stunner shows a little pitiful expression for help, there must be countless men who are willing to spill their blood for her.
Tianhuo felt that Sira's face was a little dazzling, but the four sand bandits around him who were escorting them let out a scream like killing pigs, and they all drew their sabers like crescents, panting and approaching the two.
Skyfire was surprised by the performance of the four bandits and did not understand what was happening.
Sila suddenly said something to one of the bandits, who was breathing heavier, his expression became hideous, his eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his mouth were drooling, and his eyes looked fiercely at his companion at his side, so frightened that his companion hurriedly grabbed his horse and pushed it back.
The mad sand bandit suddenly swung his knife at the head of his companion's horse, and the knife was so powerful that the whole blade was set on the horse's head, and the seriously injured horse jumped wildly, and directly flipped the knight on his back to the ground, and the knight's foot got stuck in the stirrup, and the seriously injured horse tripped to the ground.
The frenzied bandit lost his scimitar, and quickly drew a short spear from the leather bag next to the saddle and pounced on the other bandit, causing the bandit to turn his horse and flee.
The crazy sand bandit did not pursue the fleeing sand bandit, but turned his head to the last sand bandit, the last sand bandit was the strongest martial arts of the four, he was not afraid of the crazy sand bandit, but he still maintained the greatest vigilance for the crazy opponent, and did not rashly attack.
The frantic sand bandit seemed to know that the last opponent was strong, and he sat on his horse and raised his hands and roared, as if to cheer himself up.
Before he could finish his roar, a cold light flashed, and a bloody mark appeared on the body of the mad sand bandit from his right shoulder to his left ribs, and then half of his body and head slipped off the lower half of his body, falling to the sand and convulsing.
The man who attacked the mad bandit was the tall captain, who held a wide two-handed sword in his hand, and with a single sword, he split the bandit's body and stabilized the situation.
At some point, Sila had put the veil back on, wrapped her whole body in layers of black veil, and sat upright on her horse without moving for a minute, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with her.
Captain Gao didn't even look at the dead sand bandit, but yelled at the last sand bandit a few times.
The last sand bandit peeked at Sira and explained to the captain that the desert dialect they had been using was incomprehensible and impossible for Tianhuo to understand.
"All the bandits are forbidden to talk to me, nor to look me in the eye or look at my face, they say that I am a seductive woman who can control the mind of men, and anyone who helps me, his relatives will be punished by the Lord, so no one will come to help me. ”
Sila acted calmly, but the way she controlled the sand bandit just now made Tianhuo feel his scalp tingle, and he didn't expect her charm to be so effective for ordinary people.
The captain saw Sira talking to Skyfire and was furious!
He swept his horse and rushed over, but apparently bypassed Sira, and the big sword in his hand slapped horizontally, and the broad spine of the sword slapped against Tianhuo's arm, directly sweeping him off his horse, rolling on the ground a few times before stopping.
Siella sat on her horse and still didn't move, and instead of scolding Sira and continuing to chase Skyfire, the captain yelled at the others a few times.
At this moment, a sand bandit came running in a two-horse sand plough with a half-man high wooden cage on it.
The sand bandit captain said a few words to Sila, and Sira obediently dismounted and got into the cage, and sat inside to look back at Tianhuo, who could still feel Sila's resentful eyes despite the heavy veil.
Hassan rode over and said to Tianhuo, "Are you hurt? If you are not injured, get on your horse quickly, the sandstorm is coming, if you want to live, you must get on your horse and run with us." ”
Tianhuo looked at the sky and the surroundings, and found no sign of a sandstorm, Hassan said: "If you live in the desert for decades, you can smell the sandstorm in advance, hurry up, don't rub it off." ”
Tianhuo hurriedly got up, turned on his horse, and under the guidance of Hassan, came to the middle part of the sand bandit team, where the sand plow where Sira was sitting, and it seemed that in order to prevent the two from escaping, the sand bandits put him in the middle of the team to be strictly guarded.
Skyfire nodded to Sila, but Sira didn't respond to him.
Hassan lowered his voice and said: "You better be honest, Sira is an ominous woman, don't talk to her anymore, let alone try to help her escape, she has been in the desert for two years, and there are no less than two hundred strong warriors who have died because of her, and if you get close to her, you may be killed by the captain." ”
Tianhuo thanked Hassan in a low voice, then sat down on his horse with his head down and stopped looking at Sila, not knowing what was in his mind.
At this moment, the sky began to appear dusk, and the entire team of sand bandits began to accelerate, and the sandstorms in the desert could not be underestimated, and the strong winds mixed with sand and dust could sometimes blow for days and nights, destroying all creatures and buildings that refused to bow their heads, and burying everything that protruded from the ground into the rolling yellow sand.
In the wild, except for large camel caravans and camel cities, no one can escape in a tyrannical sandstorm.
Hassan, the oldest of the bandits and the most experienced in the desert, told the two captains that today's sandstorm was the biggest he'd ever seen in his life, and that if he didn't get back to the oasis in time, he would probably be in danger.
The two captains, who were also experienced veterans, were very decisive in asking their subordinates to abandon all the items they did not use, lighten the weight of the horses, and flee in the direction of the oasis with all their might.
Soon a lot of messy items were thrown on the sand dunes more than a mile long, with a wide variety of types, and even whole bags of gold and silver were thrown directly on the ground.
The sand bandits are very clear that now is to flee for their lives, gold and silver treasures are only things outside the body, as long as the people are alive, the horses are still there, and the weapons in their hands are not lost, all the lost things can be snatched back, but if the life is lost, there will be no chance.
In addition to the storage bag and storage weapon, Tianhuo has no long things, naturally there is nothing to discard, he bent down and stuck to the horse's back, his legs tightly clamped the horse's belly, and grasped the reins, although his skills are very good, but the horseback riding skills are not stronger than these sand bandits who have been on horseback since childhood.
The sand plow driving the sand plow was sweating profusely, and he had a great responsibility and could not afford to lose, but after all, the sand plow was not as fast as riding a horse directly, even if the two horses pulling the cart were second only to the two captains' horses, they were not as fast as the other horses riding alone.
The sand bandits driving the car could only whip and whip the backs of the two healthy horses, drawing blood marks from the backs of the healthy horses, but it did not help much to increase the speed.
The horse team ran for a while, and by this time the sandstorm behind it could already be seen, and it felt like a wall of sand standing between heaven and earth advancing rapidly, rolling everything into the yellow sand.
But there was still no trace of the oasis ahead, and the wind speed of this sandstorm was far faster than everyone expected, and the two captains saw that there was no hope of successfully reaching the oasis, so they ordered their respective escapes.
Skyfire slowed down his horse's speed at this point, keeping pace parallel to Syrah's sand plow, and he was looking for an opportunity.
