Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 214 The Uninvited Guest

The sound of hoofbeats, at least ten riders, came from downwind.

Liang Xiao didn't yell, and he didn't even rush to call the people in the tent.

Since it is necessary to travel thousands of miles to seek wealth, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later. He has already told them that now that the wolf is really coming, he wants to see if these people are vigilant enough and can respond in time.If they were hacked to death in their sleep, they would definitely not be able to reach Da Yueshi, so they might as well die now, at least closer to their hometown.

Liang Xiao took a deep breath and let it out slowly, repeating this three times.

Tu Niu'er's snoring stopped abruptly.He opened his big bull eyes and looked around motionlessly.He saw Liang Xiao's bright eyes.

"Ah Xiao?"

Liang Xiao put up a finger to cover his mouth, and pointed to the direction the enemy came from.Tu Niuer understood, turned over quietly, drew out the sword, rolled the blanket into a strip, and held it tightly in his hand.Liang Xiao also got up, touched the bow on the ground, wound the string, pulled Tu Niu'er, bent over, quietly sneaked into the nearby grass, squatted down, waited quietly, and listened carefully.

The horseshoes in the distance were getting closer and closer, and there was a "squeak" in the grass, and Li Shuyun got out with his upper body bare, holding the Hun woman with his left hand, and holding the sword in his right, looked around, and stretched out his hand to push.The Hun woman actually understood, holding her clothes, bent her waist, and rushed to her tent, her butt like a millstone was like a full moon, which was particularly conspicuous in the moonlight.

"Tsk tsk." Tu Niu'er sucked in his saliva.

Li Shuyun turned around, saw Liang Xiao and Tu Niu'er, and smiled embarrassingly.He pointed to the tents of the Lang officials, Liang Xiao shook his head and gestured. "See when these guys wake up."

Li Shuyun understood, put the sword beside him, and began to put on his clothes.He was really cautious enough to come out for a tryst with a sword, shield and armor, all of which he lacked.In a moment, he was ready.Looking at the surprised eyes of Liang Xiao and Tu Niu'er, he twitched the corners of his mouth and explained:

"She likes to see me wearing armor, and wants to disarm me with her own hands."

"Pfft!" Liang Xiao couldn't hold back, even though he didn't think it was appropriate, he still laughed out loud.

"Who?" A low shout came from not far away, it was Guo Wu's voice.Liang Xiao turned his head and saw that Guo Wu was also fully armed. He groped over and saw that it was Liang Xiao, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"They're up?" Liang Xiao was very satisfied. These people woke up before the enemy launched an attack, and their vigilance was still acceptable.

"I'm all up, so I didn't really fall asleep." Guo Wu chuckled, glanced at Li Shuyun, and hesitated to speak.Liang Xiao understood, this group of guys were all hot, they were lying in the tent listening to the wall, and when the movement outside stopped, they would know everything.

Li Shuyun also understood, made a face, spit, and cursed twice.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and Liang Xiao and others dispersed, squatting in the grass half a person's height, watching more than ten horsemen galloping slowly from a distance.When there were more than a hundred steps away from the tent, a figure suddenly jumped up from the grass, lifted a figure off the horse with a spear, turned on the horse, kicked the horse and walked away, shouting sharply at the same time: "Enemy attack——"

It was Xie Guanglong who was on duty.

Amidst the roar, Xie Guanglong turned his horse's head and rushed towards the other shadow.

The black shadows scattered around were surprised, but they didn't have the intention to retreat. The two pulled out their horses and chased Xie Guanglong, bowed their bows and set arrows, while the others kicked their horses fiercely, accelerated their speed, and rushed towards the two tents respectively.

Xu Yanshou and others rushed out from the tent. Pang Shuo held an iron knife and stopped in front of the tent. Xu Yanshou stood behind him, drew a bow and set up an arrow, and shot several arrows. Li Dingguo rushed to the tent tied beside the tent. The war horse untied the reins, turned on the horse, and rode the horse to meet a rushing black shadow.

The battle broke out in an instant, the two sides roared and fought together, the arrow feathers were flying, the horseshoes were rushing, and as soon as the battle was fought, someone was shot and fell off the horse.In the opposite tent, two hun-headed Huns also rushed out, one drew a bow, the other raised a knife, and fought with the two thieves who rushed to the front of the tent.

Liang Xiao was very satisfied. Although the cooperation of the Lang officials was not perfect, it was remarkable.He yelled softly: "Kill!" Standing up, without even looking, he drew his bow and set an arrow, and shot it out.

A galloping thief fell off his horse and fell to the ground with a "plop". The horse rushed over, but was jumped by a figure that suddenly stood up in the grass, and turned to avoid it.Guo Wu rushed over, flew on his horse, turned the horse's head, and rushed towards the other thieves, while drawing his bow and shooting arrows, he shouted loudly.

"Kill! Kill!"

Liang Xiao stood in the grass, pulled out the nock and shot three arrows in a row, and the three of them fell off their horses.In the night, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he could hear the voice clearly.As long as it is not a familiar accent, once you approach, you will be killed without mercy.

The opponent obviously didn't expect Liang Xiao and the others to be so vigilant. A sneak attack turned into a strong attack, and when they encountered an extremely powerful counterattack, they couldn't help being a little panicked.They came and went faster, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

The torches were lit, Xie Guanglong and Guo Wu urged their horses to rush up to the nearby mountain ridge, and looked around to prevent these thieves from returning. Li Shuyun led Lang Guan to search around, and quickly dragged away the injured thieves. Come over, there are five people in total, two of them were shot by Liang Xiao, and the other one probably ran away.

The worst guy was hacked to death by Pang Shuo. Half of his head was cut off with one knife, and all the brains flowed out.Pang Shuo hugged his iron knife, his mouth closed from ear to ear, and he stretched out his big tongue to lick the blade fiercely.This is the first time Tie Dao drank blood in actual combat, and he won the battle, very powerful and powerful.

Seeing these captives, the expressions of the two bearded beards changed drastically, and they cried out in alarm.

Liang Xiao didn't understand what he meant, Guo Wenbin stepped forward and asked a few questions carefully, and when he came back, his face was also a little ugly.

"My lord, these people are horse thieves in Punushui area. They are nicknamed Gust of Wind. The tattoo on the left forehead is their unique symbol. Punushui is in the north, and it is also north of Youxian King's pastoral area. They should not appear in here."

"Then what does it mean for them to appear here?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that July is approaching, and the Huns will roam the forest there. These horse thieves have no place to hide, so they can only take refuge for a while. Another possibility is that the harvest in Mobei is not good, and they can't get enough. had to migrate south.”

Liang Xiao frowned.He had heard before that the harvest on the grassland had not been good for the past two years, and the Huns might want to invade the south, and now even the horse thieves were running south, and this was probably true.As a result, northern Xinjiang may not be peaceful this year.

"My lord, we have to leave quickly. Once the Huns decide to invade the south, there will soon be a lot of Huns here, and there will not be much room left for us. Once we encounter a large group of Huns cavalry, it will be difficult for us to escape. "

Liang Xiao felt reasonable.It is late summer now, and most of the Huns are still in the summer pastures in the north. There are few people on the grassland, so they can pass through calmly.When the Huns came back and even approached south, it would not be so easy for them to pass through smoothly.No matter how brave they are, there are only nine of them. It must be a disaster to meet a large number of Hun cavalry.

"Rest, starting tomorrow, we will speed up."

"Here." Everyone suddenly agreed.

……

Liang Xiao took away the horse thief's money and horses.To accelerate forward without hesitating horsepower, he has to constantly change horses along the way.Although the Xiongnu herdsmen have limited knowledge, they can sell something if they have something. After all, the journey is far away, so it is always good to prepare more.

As for the clothes and harness on the horse thief, Liang Xiao was not interested and threw them directly to the Huns.There was a shortage of supplies on the grassland, no matter how rotten things were, they would not waste them. The Huns were very satisfied with this windfall, and gave Liang Xiao some cheese for them to eat on the road.

These cheeses are more portable and keep longer than meat.

Just as Guo Wenbin guessed, the Xiongnu women were reluctant to part with Li Shuyun and wanted to leave with them.Liang Xiao refused.They have heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, and they cannot take women on the road.If you take one with you, you will have to divide your luggage if you don't reach Da Yuezhi, and each will go back to Gao Laozhuang.

After walking for a long time, they saw a Hun woman standing on a mountain ridge, staring at her infatuatedly.

……

In Shanglin Garden, a newly completed new palace, Liu Che walked slowly with his horsewhip in his hand, raising his head sometimes, lowering his head thoughtfully.

Han Yan followed closely, Wei Qing and the others led the horses and waited not far away.Just in the early autumn, Shanglinyuan was full of trees and forests, and the waves of pines burst out.Wei Qing glanced at Qin Ge and laughed silently.

Qin Ge held his sword and shrugged. "It's been a year in a flash."

"Yes." Wei Qing pondered for a moment, then said quietly: "My son can laugh."

"Have you visited?" Qin Ge suppressed a smile.

"I've seen it." Wei Qing blinked. "I plan to bring them back. I can't always let Ah Xiao help me raise them."

"Where do you live? You can't live in the palace like you, can you?"

"This..." Wei Qing hesitated for a moment. "I want to find a house in Maoling, let them live first."

"You'd better wait until Ah Xiao comes back." Qin Ge shook his head. "Miss Zheng is not a person who can take care of herself. If she lives alone, can she take care of the child? It's better to let her live in A Xiao's house. Isn't Hu Xijun going into labor soon, and we happened to take care of it together."

"I'm sorry, I've troubled Ah Xiao too much."

"Who is A Xiao, you still don't know? You have a life-threatening friendship, so you are afraid of this little trouble." Qin Ge arched Wei Qing's shoulder. "Forget it. With Mr. Huan here, Miss Zheng should be more honest. She doesn't know what trouble she will cause if she leaves Mr. Huan."

"That's true. My son is a bit like her, he dances very well." Wei Qing scratched his head. "I want to marry him. Mrs. Wei, what do you think?"

Just as Qin Ge was about to answer, Liu Che stopped in front and waved at Wei Qing.Wei Qing didn't dare to neglect, and quickly walked over.

"I heard that Liang Xiao's junior sister gave birth to a son for you?"

Wei Qing nodded awkwardly, his face flushed.

"Let's go to Maoling and see them."
