Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 265: The storm is brewing
Chapter 265 The storm is brewing
"Let's go, run in three directions, and then we can meet at an inn in Huangshaji." Zhao Changhe saw the Hu army and horses approaching Shachen from a distance, and was about to run away.
Situ Xiao carried the knocked-out Qiao boy: "I'm going to go to the Hammer Yellow Sand Market with this burden, and we'll talk about it later. Let's go and find Cui Yuanyong to exchange for wine."
After that, he ran away first, actually because he was the weakest in Qinggong, and he was afraid that he would not be able to outrun the army and lose face.
And Situ Xiao actually really wants to challenge Yue Hongling... I felt that I was almost ready before, waiting for the opportunity, but judging from my current moral character, in the future, this guy might be his friend's wife, and there is no possibility of challenging him anymore... ...Why the **** does it feel like a woman has anything to do with you?
I can't get along with this friend any more. I'll break up the friendship someday.
"Hey..." Han Wubing wanted to hold Situ Xiao back, but he was a beat slower and saw him running faster than a rabbit.
He looked helplessly at Zhao Changhe and then at Yue Hongling: "I have never existed at the wrong time, so I should leave first..."
Why the **** does being a woman have anything to do with you?
I can't get along with this friend any more. I'll break up the friendship someday.
"..." Yue Hongling crossed her arms and said, "What are you thinking? It's me who should go."
Zhao Changhe: "?"
Han Wubing: "?"
Yue Hongling said angrily: "Don't you know that the barbarians have been besieging me for a long time, and I don't dare to enter Huangshaji at all?"
Zhao Changhe put his hand into his arms and rubbed it. When he reached out again, there was a yellowish shit-like substance, and he was about to wipe it on Yue Hongling's face.
Yue Hongling drew her sword and wanted to cut.
Zhao Changhe shrank, dumbfounded: "Change your appearance."
"It's useless, even women will be strictly interrogated. No one dares to bring women in without looking at others. In the name of searching for 'Yue Hongling', other people's family papers have been forcibly taken to the zoo to be sold." ”
"How much trouble have you caused to the barbarians, so serious?"
"Do you want to take care of it?" Yue Hongling turned around and entered the village angrily: "I'll go find some food to take with me. You can go and do whatever you want. I'll find a way to find you when the time comes."
Zhao Changhe said: "How about making an appointment somewhere outside?"
"Further to the northwest, there is a rocky mountain. I will be stationed there for the time being. If you have a chance, can you bring something out to me?" Yue Hongling spoke with a hint of expectation in her tone unconsciously.
Han Wubing looked sideways at the two men without saying anything, and as expected, Zhao Changhe replied very cheerfully: "Okay."
"Then say goodbye." Yue Hongling went into the village to search for things in a good mood.
It feels good to have someone to support her. She originally had some plans and felt it was difficult to do it alone, especially now that she was targeted and restricted. But since Zhao Changhe and Han Wubing were both trustworthy masters, they might be able to do some things.
Over there, Zhao Changhe and Han Wubing looked at each other in confusion. Han Wubing said, "I'm staying at the Hu Shang Inn next to the animal farm. If you need anything, call me. I don't have time to talk anymore. Let's go quickly."
"Okay, I have an inn in Sanniang's house. If you need anything, you can come to me. My name is Wangdaozhong."
Han Wubing: "..."
Looking back, Ubalu's army and horses were already within a stone's throw.
The two of them stopped talking and ran away left and right.
Different from ordinary warriors and soldiers, these Qianlong pioneers with outstanding light skills are famous all over the world. It is really difficult for ordinary soldiers and horses to catch up with them. Even Situ Xiao, who was weak in Qinggong, had the eighth level of Xuan Guan's hard strength, and no one could catch up with him even if he charged hard.
To contain such a person, it is really difficult to catch him unless he dispatches a stronger master or arranges an ambush that cannot be escaped.
This is also the main reason why Yue Hongling and others have been in Saibei for so long without any danger. Cui Yuanyong believes that no one in the team he sent out should be able to escape. This is also the reason.
For them, the main function of horses is to save labor and travel. They are more accustomed to going without horses in battle... Well, this is a bit strange. Of course, it wouldn't work without a horse. Trekking on two legs in this vast grassland and desert would be exhausting in a few days. Yue Hongling's horse was hidden in the rocky mountain over there, which was her temporary station.
In short, this group of people were chatting and laughing freely before the army came. They started to run away after they got behind them, but they still ran away without a trace. It didn't take long before they disappeared into the night and could not be found.
The Hu general who led the troops did not hesitate, and waved his hand: "Stop chasing, confiscate the goods of that caravan, and capture everyone as slaves."
The law of the jungle is nothing more than that.
Those who are alert in the caravan have already run away if they had not grabbed something early, and those who are greedy and refuse to leave are still fighting for it. What awaits them will be a tragic ending.
The deputy general asked: "The woman I saw just now should be Yue Hongling... Commander Wu's previous military order, nothing else matters, this woman must be captured no matter what."
The general waved his hand: "We can't catch this woman by rushing forward. She can soar like an eagle, and a hundred thousand troops may not be of much use. Commander Wu has asked the Great Khan to send a truly strong man. Come here, this woman has been wandering around Saibei for a long time, and she has become accustomed to thinking that she is just an ordinary soldier. Maybe she can have a drink when the time comes."
"So restricting her supplies is actually constricting the scope of her possible actions?"
"Yes, if you guessed it right, since she can still appear here, she is most likely in the Rock Mountain in the northwest, where you can find water under the rocks." The general stretched out his hand and clenched his fist: "It's really there If so, she won’t be able to escape. Maybe everyone will be able to play if the reward comes.”
…………
Over there, Zhao Changhe made a big detour, transformed himself into a yellow-faced man again, and returned to Youjian Inn in a good mood.
I didn’t go through the front door of the restaurant. I went in from the back of the inn and slept until dawn.
This night was so exciting. I saved the heroes, killed the traitors, and met my friends. The depression and depression since leaving the country were all gone. I just wanted to sing a song.
A man goes out of his way, as he should!
If there is a chance next time, it will be fun to lead a team of people to gallop across the grassland, charge into the military formation, and be invincible to those who stand in their way.
Zhao Changhe feels that he has this opportunity, and he has some further ideas that need to be verified.
I got up at dawn, washed up casually, and went out leisurely to the restaurant. The restaurant was still full in the morning. It seemed that it was not just a restaurant. It also sold breakfast as usual, and all kinds of Western pastries were very unique.
The breakfast that day was particularly lively. All the guests were talking loudly about the surprise outside the gathering last night: "Damn, the Central Plains warriors are so ruthless. I heard that there were only four of them. They were called elite troops and they attacked and kicked everyone to pieces. A thousand-man camp was formed, and the massacre was so intense that half of the sky turned red."
"It's not that exaggerated. I heard that they burned down the front and back of the village, just to save people."
"Why are all the people in the caravan gone? The goods are gone too. The scene of the bloodthirsty Shura holding a human head and drinking loudly was seen by other caravans nearby."
"...Maybe."
"Listen to their nonsense! If the warriors of the Central Plains are so strong, do we still need to fight this battle? With hundreds of Yue Hongling and Zhao Changhe, can they bulldoze an army of 100,000?"
"...because there are not only Yue Hongling and Zhao Changhe in the Central Plains, but also Qiao Er."
As soon as these words came out, the heat of the discussion subsided a bit.
Zhao Changhe walked in leisurely, sat down directly in front of the counter, and hooked his hands: "Sanniang, please bring some special cakes, not those from Jiangnan, the ones here are good, the more unique the better."
Sanniang looked him up and down for a long time: "Are you going to do something great?"
"What did you say have anything to do with me?" Zhao Changhe said: "I just went out for a walk and then came back... If I really robbed the caravan, would I buy cakes from you?"
Sanniang handed him a plate of pastries, a little surprised.
She knew that Zhao Changhe came back in the middle of the night, but he did not bring any goods. He did not look like someone who had just returned from a robbery. It was almost impossible for people who lived in such a place to understand that he could return empty-handed. . Is it really not him?
How could it be such a coincidence? I just told this guy that Qiao Er might have brought a slave, but then he turned around and the slave over there was rescued. You tell me it doesn't matter?
Zhao Changhe ate the cake and began to boast: "From what they said, it's amazing. Are there really just four people?"
"Well, it should really be four people."
"This bloodthirsty Shura Zhao Changhe is awesome!"
"Yes, four people are against a thousand, that's two hundred and five each. The rank of Qianlong given to him by the Book of Chaos earlier is very reasonable."
Zhao Changhe choked on a piece of cake and almost choked to death: "Sanniang, do you have a problem with them?"
Sanniang said leisurely: "Of course I have opinions. Yue Hongling, Situ Xiao and Han Wubing have all come to my place to spend money, but Zhao Changhe has not. Why don't you consider me, Yuan Sanniang, as a native?"
Zhao Changhe silently pushed over a piece of silver.
Sanniang asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Bring some dry food and water, I want to go out."
"Going far away?" Sanniang looked at him thoughtfully: "Come all the way. You haven't seen many interesting things in Huangshaji, so you just want to leave?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Like the animal farm? To be honest, I'm not very interested. If you see something unfair and want to take care of it, but find that you can't do anything, how uncomfortable would that be?"
Sanniang said: "You are really strange. When others come to this gathering place for business, they all want to see if they can find treasures that are not available outside. You are the best, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Changhe was stunned.
Sanniang sighed: "I think even if Zhao Changhe comes, he will still have to give up his two hundred and fifty to you. What a shame."
