Tibet

Chapter 214
Hei Spear was overjoyed, he was exhausted a long time ago, he pulled out his mace, pushed the latch, and opened the door with a creak, Li Ye led the horse over, and said to Zhang Xiaohuan: "We are going to kill the enemy, you come here and lock the door behind you!" !"

Zhang Xiaohuan asked in horror, "Are you guys coming back?"

"Nonsense, we don't know the way, come and close the door!"

Zhang Xiaohuan climbed out tremblingly, and Li Ye led the horse out.

Hei Lance covered the poisonous arrow with more than [-] headless corpses, and the two got on their horses, and with one settling on their horses, they rushed towards the [-] horse bandits not far away.

At this time, Tuoba Changshun also fell into a huge dilemma. In one attack, more than 100 people were killed. In addition to the initial deaths, the horse bandits had already died more than [-] people, and nearly [-]% of them died. The last brutal killing by the opponent frightened all the horse bandits, and no one wanted to fight any more.

Although Tuoba Changshun was also a little apprehensive, he couldn't let go of the huge temptation of one hundred thousand old sheepskins, and he was always far away, so he didn't see the other party's ferocious killing.

At this moment, there was a scream in the distance, and several horse bandits rushed over, shouting: "They came out, the young chief was killed!"

The young chief is Tuoba Xiu, the son of Tuoba Changshun. He is only 17 years old and has no experience at all. This is the first time he followed his father to hunt fat sheep.

Unexpectedly, what they met was not a fat sheep, but a fierce tiger. When Tuoba Changshun heard that his son had been killed, his entire chest was about to explode. The veins on his forehead bulged, and he looked up to the sky and howled like a wild beast.

"Get on the horse with me and cut them into pieces!"

The horse bandits got on their horses one after another and followed the chief to fight up.

Tuoba Xiu, the son of Tuoba Changshun, was shot through the throat by a flying knife from the black spear. Li Ye killed all the dozen people around him, and only two or three escaped.

Li Ye urged his horse to hurry up, and there were dark knights in front of him. The leader was wearing an iron helmet. This was the only one among them who wore armor, so he should be their leader.

The two got closer and closer, Tuoba Changshun's eyes shot out with anger, his face was distorted by the extreme anger, and he held a mace in his hand, wishing to beat the opponent to pieces with one stick.

It's a pity that he has no chance to take revenge. He is just an experienced horse bandit, not an experienced general. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of Tuoba Changshun. Before he could react, his throat felt a sharp pain. When it entered his throat, all the strength in his body dissipated immediately.

Tuoba Changshun finally began to fear, he finally realized the fear of countless merchants killed by him in the past 20 years, it was a kind of fear of death, and the incomparable nostalgia for life, how much he wanted to live again.

Countless innocent businessmen who were killed by him, like the women who were raped and killed by him, wanted to live just as much, but he didn't give them a chance, and now it was finally his turn.

A bigger cold light flashed, and Tuoba Changshun's head flew up, flying more than one foot away, and the headless corpse fell off the horse.

Many people didn't see the leader's death, and the horse bandits were still yelling to tear each other's corpses into pieces. Li Ye charged into the crowd like a tiger.

Immediately, heads flew up, blood splashed everywhere, and Li Ye slashed left and right, killing these weak horse bandits recklessly like chopping melons and vegetables.

Hei Spear cooperated tacitly, he walked around behind the horse bandit, cut off the opponent's retreat, and swung the elephant nose knife to kill the horse bandit from behind. He was not as fierce and brutal as Li Ye, and basically did not cut the opponent's neck.

His main task was to intercept the other party's escape, and killing people was secondary. Hei Spear killed more than a dozen horse bandits who were trying to escape.

Li Ye was surrounded by dead bodies, blood flowed like a river, and many horse bandits who turned around and ran away were shot through the back of the neck by him with a throwing knife.

The rest of the dozens of horse bandits split into two directions and fled for their lives. Li Ye chased the largest group of horse bandits behind him. The group of horse bandits he killed was finally slaughtered by him, and none of them survived, while the other group of horse bandits who fled to the northwest escaped by luck.

Get rid of all the evil, if these horse bandits are not exterminated, they will continue to kill more innocent people.

In this night battle, only 230 of the more than 17 horse bandits escaped, and the rest were all killed, including the bandit leader Tuoba Changshun and his son.

The horse bandits who were active on the Gansu-Shaanxi border have since disappeared. Xie Di, the governor of Huizhou, specially wrote a memorial and handed it to the imperial court. The memorial was transferred to the imperial case of the emperor Li Longji. One line reads, "Eliminate the bandits and secure the good, benefit one side, and contribute to the country. Li Ye was promoted to General Ningyuan!"

At dawn the next day, Li Ye and his party went on the road again. They confiscated the opponent's horses, and the trophies they got were 2 taels of silver and more than 800 taels of gold, as well as a lot of gems and jade, and more than 200 war horses and ten camels. .

Although Hei Mao was not quick enough to kill and had too many worries, he was very effective in dealing with the aftermath. He gathered Zhang Xiaohuan to help, piled up more than 200 corpses, cut down a large number of dead branches and shrubs, and took the corpses The fire burned.

After walking for dozens of miles, I saw black smoke burning in the distance.

"My lord, this is not the way! Those bounty hunters are unscrupulous and hard to guard against. How about we change our name, put on makeup, go to Xuebu to kill their chiefs, stir up their civil strife, and the bounty matter will naturally be over. Of."

Li Ye also had a big head, so this matter was not so easy to solve. Besides, they were still far away from Xue Bu. Even if they were in Xue Bu's territory, it would be even more difficult to find Chief Yazhang.

"Let's take a step and take a look! When I come back from Anxi, if the reward is still there, I will find a way to solve it. I don't have a chance now."

The three speeded up, and a few days later, they crossed a gorge and entered the Lishui River Valley, also known as Wushaoling Canyon, where they did not need a guide.

Zhang Xiaohuan also made a lot of money from this tour guide, Li Ye thought that he had done a great job in cleaning up the corpses and taking care of the horses, so he gave him twenty horses, five camels and a thousand coins, Zhang Xiaohuan was so happy that he was crazy, and he left happily.

After Zhang Xiaohuan went back, he immediately reported to the government. This is what Li Ye repeatedly asked him to do. bones.

Coincidentally, as soon as Zhang Xiaohuan left, Li Ye met a Sogdian caravan heading for Chang'an in Lishui Valley. They were very interested in Li Ye's two hundred war horses.

The two parties quickly negotiated a price. According to half the market price, Li Ye sold two hundred horses to the Sogdian caravan at the price of ten gold dinars per horse.

For the first time, Li Ye got two thousand dinar gold coins, equivalent to two thousand guan coins in the Tang Dynasty.

Without the encumbrance of the war horses, the two of Li Ye continued to march westward, and arrived in Guzang County, Liangzhou eight days later.

They stayed in Liangzhou for several days. After resting and resupplying, the two continued to go north, passing through the entire Liangzhou and half of Ganzhou, and arrived in Zhangye City five days later.

Li Ye rode on a camel, and he found that riding a camel is much more comfortable than riding a horse for long-distance travel. The back of the camel is very wide, so he doesn't need to use his legs like riding a horse, but can relax all over his body and lie comfortably on a sheet. Installed on the Sogdian soft chair between the front and rear humps.

This is also the secret of the Sogdian merchants being able to travel tens of thousands of miles. They try not to be so tired.

Li Ye and the others had ten camels, and the other five camels were also trophies. They carried a large amount of dry cakes and water, which were supplies for the horse bandits.

In the morning, the two entered Zhangye City, and Li Ye encountered a dilemma, whether he should go to see his grandparents' family.

To be honest, he didn't want to go. He had never seen his grandparents' family, and he didn't have any tokens. More importantly, his grandpa drove his mother out for 14 years, which made him bitter.

"Young master, let's find an inn to stay in. You'd better go and see him! You should go out of courtesy, otherwise your mother will be sad."

Li Ye thought of his mother, Hei Mao was right, even for his mother's sake, he should go.

Li Ye nodded, "Let's stay here first!"

The two found a rather large inn to settle down. Li Ye took a good bath and changed his clothes. He was wearing a green shirt, a gauze hat, and a leather belt around his waist. temperament.

Li Ye inquired and came to Pei's mansion not long after. He walked up the steps and looked inside the door.

Suddenly a crisp voice came from behind, "Who are you looking for?"

It seemed to be a little girl. When Li Ye turned his head, a few steps behind him stood an eleven or twelve-year-old lady with a double-ringed bun and a light yellow half-sleeved skirt. She had picturesque eyebrows. Delicate and pretty.

Li Ye smiled and said: "I come from Chang'an, my surname is Li, and my mother used to live here."
