Chapter 470: Search
Guo Jia stepped into Ruohan with an arrow step, and said in a low voice: "Nine times out of ten, I will go back to the village to hide!" There are reeds here, but they only grow close to the lake, although dense but not wide, they can be easily searched. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As for the tall poplar tree, the tree is ten feet high, but under the tree is a piece of yellow sand, and there is no way to Tibet. Not to mention in the desert, not only has nowhere to hide, but the terrain is similar, it is easy to get lost, if according to Ata, people who are not familiar with it will get lost if they go in and walk around, they can touch all the way here, and they may not be able to go back to the depths of the desert. As for the little village...... In fact, the most eye-catching place in Guo Jia's heart is the place where the merchants are stationed, and the village is not necessarily easier to hide than here, and there are many Han people here, and it is too obvious when they arrive in the village. But in view of the fact that Ruohan was still hostile to him, Guo Jia proposed this idea by retreating. Sure enough, when Ruohan heard him say this, his heart softened, and he said, "No, you are even more eye-catching there." Bring me two sets of clothes and put them on to change!" "Yes!" These guards had seen a lot of things, and it was not strange that they had heard the orders of the lady, and the guard immediately hurried to a tent. "Your Excellency, we are past merchants, and the goods we sell and buy are many of the products produced by your country. Hahaha...... We are all businessmen, just doing business to make money, and will not mix with others, we have absolutely no living people here, let alone take in living people. ”
The leaders of several merchant groups were surrounded by a general dressed in Turkic fashion, and two groups of Timur soldiers armed with swords and fiercely guarded in front and behind. The general strode as they trotted after him, and as one of the merchants spoke, he secretly stuffed a bundle of things into the general's hand, wrapped in cloth, and heavy in his hand.
Today, the leaders of the merchant groups were eating and drinking in their tents, discussing some small matters after resting and setting off tomorrow, when suddenly a group of cavalry galloped from a distance, and the guards in charge of the watch saw that the other party was numerous, and set up a salon in the desert, and could not help but be shocked by the momentum, and hurriedly broke into the tent to report. Because this trade route is not in front of the village or behind the store, and it is not enough to maintain the living materials of so many people, so limited by the living environment here, the horse thief team of more than 1,000 people is very rare, in fact, there is no at all, so the horse thief team on this trade route is unlikely to be too big, so when he heard that there were at least 2,000 people, the leaders of the merchant group were stunned. When the visitors arrived, they learned that it was Timur's army. The only garrison here is Timur, so it is not uncommon for his army to appear here. The leaders of the merchant group suddenly relieved half of their hearts, as long as it was an army subordinate to the political force, it was better than a horse thief to talk about some rules. "What...... What people, stop!" Seeing that they had walked to where the Ximen caravan was, the two courtyard guards drew half of their knives and greeted them. Looking at their fierce stubble, it is obvious that they are afraid of the other party's strength, but they are just duty, but they have to come forward. "Get out of here!" the two Timurid horsemen disdainfully pushed the two eyeless cowards aside, making the way for their general. The two guards staggered to the side, watching them pass by with great brazenness. Ximen Fuxue's face was ruddy from drinking, and at this time, he also accompanied Xiao to follow in front of the cavalry general of the Timurid Empire, and saw the two guards who were pushed to the side, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. There were about a hundred warriors in the courtyard he brought, and of course he couldn't necessarily call all of them, but most of them were familiar, these two warriors...... Ximen Blowing Snow Fox glanced at them suspiciously, and then glanced at the other Ying family guards who were standing aside, knowing that there must be something wrong, so he didn't dare to make a noise, and hurriedly caught up with two steps, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the sight of others for the two people.
The general of the Timurid Empire passed through the camp until he reached the end of this side, and then he suddenly stopped, glanced at the path in the reeds in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "Is there a small village in front of here? Send a team of people to search for me!" Immediately a group of soldiers chased along the trail with great vigour, and they scattered and searched the reeds together, and for a time they found the reeds flying and the wild birds jumping wildly.
The general pressed his sword, turned around and glanced at several leaders of the merchant group, and said in a murderous voice: "You have traveled all the way, you really haven't seen any people fleeing, let alone taken in anyone, huh? If there is a lie, once we find out, all of you here will die!"
"General, we have come all the way, we really haven't met strangers, these are all people on the caravan, and we will continue to set off early in the morning!" Ximen Fuxue said with a smile, and pulled the general's sleeve again: "General, please take a step to speak!"
The two of them stood there and talked for a long time before they walked back together, and the general of the Timur cavalry said in a shameful manner: "Come on, disperse, and search their tents!" At this time, although his attitude was arrogant, it was obviously softened compared to his previous cold tone. The leaders of the merchant group are all good at observing the face, how can they not know that it was Ximen Blowing Snow who moved the general, and they couldn't help but cast a grateful gaze at him, Ximen Blowing Snow just smiled modestly, without any smug appearance, this attitude won the unanimous favor of the leaders of the merchant group. As a result, the Timur soldiers searched the entire place where the merchant group was stationed, inside and out, and they passed by Guo Jia from time to time, searching for Guo Jia bitterly. In fact, along the way, this group of Timur cavalry has already eliminated a team of horse thieves that they encountered, as well as a merchant group that came from Xierding and was smaller than the team in front of them. What's more, the caravans here are relatively large, if you really want to... Then their casualties are bound to be very large.
"Ah!" suddenly a woman's scream came from a tent, a soldier ran out after a woman, the general's eyes lit up when he saw the woman's appearance, then Simon Fuxue hurriedly stepped forward, two Timur soldiers choked and drew their swords, crossed forward, blocked him, Ximen Fuxue said anxiously: "General, that's the villain's wife, please let her go!"
The commander of the Timur cavalry stared at the bright and charming young woman in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and waved his hand reluctantly. If he hadn't taken people's money, he wouldn't have let go of such a coveted woman. As soon as the soldier saw that the leader had spoken, he gave up the pursuit of Ruohan, who hurriedly fled back to the tent.
When the camp had been turned into a mess, all the cages had been opened, and the Timurid soldiers had taken the opportunity to hide a great deal of possessions, the party that had searched the small village returned, and of course they could not find anything.
The inhabitants of this small village have the same faith as this Timur descendant army, and the appearance of the people in the village is relatively obvious, with deep noses, which is by no means a Han can be impersonated. The general glanced greedily at the felt tent where Ruohan was, and waved his hand stupidly: "Let's go!"
