Da Wei Chun

Chapter 253 Unspoken
Fearing that there might be omissions, hundreds of soldiers questioned Hu merchants one by one, asking if there were any Han women in the caravan.

But all Hu merchants said no.

It seems that it was really a mistake...

Yuwen Yuanqing sighed secretly, raised his hand, and swung it down forcefully.

Hundreds of cavalry drew their bows in unison...

After just one round of shooting, few of the hundreds of Hu merchants could kneel upright, and even the sound of groaning could not be heard a few times.

Fearing that they would be left alive, after shooting the arrows, more than a hundred cavalrymen dismounted and chopped off the heads one by one with their knives.

After a while, it was like a rain of blood in the formation, and the blood accumulated into a puddle...

People are like ants, life is like worthless!
Just like that...

The corpse was taken care of by the county soldiers, so Yuwen Yuanqing didn't need to worry about it.He asked his cronies to gather pack horses, chariots, etc., and prepare to go back to the mountain.

As soon as the order was issued, the guards beside him suddenly reminded: "Captain, it seems that there is a horn sound?"

Trumpet sound?
Yuwen Yuanqing listened carefully, his face changed suddenly.

This is clearly a warning signal that the scouts have discovered a powerful enemy...

Enemy?

Where is it?
Looking at the chaos in front of him, the corners of Yuwen Yuanqing's eyes were about to burst.

Those driving carts were driving carts, those leading camels were leading camels, those picking up goods were picking up goods, and there were even many soldiers who were groping and stripping the dead bodies.

Just like this mess, the enemy can be crushed with just one charge...

The veins on Yuwen Yuanqing's face popped up, and he almost used all his strength to scream, "A powerful enemy is coming... Formation... Hurry up... Formation..."

The soldiers were stunned for a while, and after a few breaths, they heard the continuous sound of horns from the northwest direction.

Is there really a strong enemy?

The faces of hundreds of soldiers changed in horror. Those who could fit into their bosoms were put into their bosoms, and those who couldn't were thrown away.

But when he freed his hand, he forgot where the horse was.

Then there is looting.Those who couldn't grab it in a hurry, either turned over on the camels and pack horses that were still laden with goods, or hacked wildly with knives and untied the poor horses pulling the carts.

Good guy, is it more than a mess?

it's over...

Hearing the approaching sound of the horn, Yuwen Yuanqing's eyes darkened, and he almost fell off his horse.

hmm, no...

It sounds like there are only horns, but there are not many horses?

If there is really a powerful enemy attacking, the hooves would have sounded like thunder.

The sound of the horn was getting closer and closer, and by the moonlight, it could be vaguely seen that there were only forty or fifty riders, as if they were the men of the team sent north to chase and defeat the enemy.

Looking back, there is no smoke and dust rising...

The enemy didn't catch up?
Yuwen Yuanqing made up his mind.

Just a little bit short, he fled first with his bodyguard...

He wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and shouted to the guards beside him: "Brighten the flag!"

Seeing the lantern, the forty or fifty riders rushed over here immediately.

They were still seven or eight feet away, and the building general started to shout: "Captain, Fubing... the Fubing who guards the mansion in Guanzhong..."

Yuwen Yuanqing was slightly taken aback.

What are the soldiers in Guanzhong going to Hexi for?
No... these are officers and soldiers, not enemies, what warning are you sending?
Yuwen Yuanqing's face turned green with anger.

It's not that he didn't believe what his subordinates said, but he was angry that his subordinates reported the military situation in a hurry, which almost caused hundreds of cavalry to collapse without fighting.

"Captain, the opponent has thousands of armored cavalry, and the formation is extremely strict, he must be a master of a hundred battles. Apart from this, there is no longer a pack horse, a cart...

Therefore, the subordinates estimated that these people were definitely not the caravan sent by the Guanzhong government to Dunhuang or the Western Regions behind the back of the imperial court.And nine out of ten, they are doing the same thing as us..."

Yuwen Yuanqing just raised his whip, when he heard this sentence, it was as if he was frozen, and he couldn't pull it any longer.

Armor ride?

Only those who are well-equipped with horses and horses are called armored cavalry...and there are thousands of them?

What kind of bird eggs are you talking about, how many tiger riders are there in the imperial court?
It is estimated that the subordinates were scared out of their wits, and they frightened themselves first.

I was also afraid that the soldiers of the Guanzhong Mansion would really treat their own people as thieves and wipe them out, so I sounded the horn to meet the enemy...

But it seems that there is nothing to worry about, the other party has clearly guessed the true origin of himself and others.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to easily release these subordinates and reveal their identities?

Could it be that these Guanzhong soldiers did the same thing as themselves: they went to Hexi to help Gao Zhaolai find someone...

Yuwen Yuanqing was a little puzzled: Xi Kangsheng had always been at odds with Gao Zhao, and he would never pretend to be false. Suddenly, he was so concerned about the Gao family's affairs?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out...

Forget it, anyway, I can't afford to provoke anyone, so what do you want to do so much?
Now that you have met, let’s make a good relationship.You can't just eat meat by yourself, but let others watch you, and you can't even drink soup...

Yuwen Yuanqing murmured: "Well...go pick up a few loads of goods and send them over with me..."

It is definitely not possible to reveal the identity, it can only be regarded as a tacit understanding.

There is also the meaning of expressing goodwill to Xi Kangsheng...

The subordinates responded and rode away.Not long after, I drove a few camels and pack horses over...

……

For a distance of twenty miles, even if one dared not rush on a horse at night, it would take at most two minutes.

But Yuwen Yuanqing walked for nearly an hour.

It's not that he can't walk fast, but that he doesn't dare to walk fast at all...

As soon as they passed the county seat, arrows and horns sounded suddenly.

Then, after hearing a few more noises like snakes and rats scurrying, how many cavalrymen appeared in the grass less than ten feet away from him?
If it wasn't for Yuwen Yuanqing who had already set off the official flag and didn't hide his whereabouts, otherwise he wouldn't know if he was shot to death right away. Where did the arrow come from?
After revealing his identity, the other party did not stop him, but only said that if he wanted to go back and report to the official, he had to go first.

Yuwen Yuanqing felt that it should be unimpeded now, right?
But after walking for less than three miles, a second wave suddenly appeared.

And then the third wave, the fourth wave...

It wasn't until Li Chengzhi clearly received the military order that he agreed to let go that Li Rui gathered the scouts and led Yuwen Yuanqing to the camp.

But even if Yuwen Yuanqing was asked to hurry, he no longer had the guts.

These soldiers are too weird, just like ghosts...

When he approached the army formation, Yuwen Yuanqing was even more surprised when he saw the horse formation shining with cold light like an iron wall.

What the subordinates said turned out to be true, is it really a well-equipped armored cavalry?
Although it was not as close to a thousand armored horses as my subordinates said, there were at most three hundred armored soldiers, and there should be only three hundred armored horses.

It's not the first day he leads soldiers, how can he not see the killing intent in these soldiers?
Master of Tiger and Wolf!

Not surprisingly, [-]% should be Xi Zhenshou's personal guard camp...

I just don't know, why are you so defensive against yourself?
I only brought forty or fifty cavalry with me, but why do these armored cavalry seem to be facing a big enemy, and they dare not even approach me?

How did Yuwen Yuanqing know that Li Chengzhi was afraid that he would see the tricks.

Of the nearly [-] horses, at least [-] of them were bought by Li Song from Yuwen Yuanqing...

……

Li Chengzhi held a piece of cloth in his hand.

It should be torn off from the body temporarily, and covered with blood, not only wet, but also smell a trace of blood.

Hexi Dianmu Mansion!
Could it be Yuwen Yuanqing himself who came?

After all, he has been thinking about it for a long time, thinking about when he will get the Hexi Racecourse, so Li Chengzhi really knows who Yuwen Yuanqing is.

What's more, he bought so many horses from others?

The son of Yu Wenfu, the imperial servant of the current dynasty, the captain of Hexi Dianmu, an official of the fifth rank, and the same level as Daxi.

But this only has official seals, but no official seals. It seems to be the same as that he only wears the tooth flag of the Kansai tutelary mansion, but does not wear the flag representing official position and personal identity.

It's nothing more than a tacit understanding, I know who you are, and you know who I am, so let's not sue each other, because I won't admit it anyway.

I think these loads of wealth are the spoils of Yuwen Yuanqing.

Li Chengzhi was a little dumbfounded.

You were driving hard, and you suddenly encountered such a mess?
Seriously speaking, the two waves of people really seem to be working together.

After all, Li Chengzhi has made a move...

At this moment, it seems that Yuwen Yuanqing still doesn't know who he is, but based on the situation of the guard camp, he suspects that he is definitely Xi Kangsheng's confidant...

Otherwise, how could people be so respectful?

But it's a good thing, at least for the time being, you don't have to worry about your whereabouts being leaked.

Li Chengzhi looked at the loads of goods again.

All good stuff.

Either the silk brocade that is as smooth as jade, or the kind of light gauze that you can see moles growing on your body when you put it on three or five layers on top of each other...

"Go and deal with it, remember to cover your face..."

Li Chengzhi confessed to Li Liang, "Don't lose your momentum, at least let the other party believe that we are indeed Xi Zhenshou's cronies..."

As for why Xi Kangsheng sent so many cronies to Hexi?

Follow Yuwen Yuanqing to guess...

After about two quarters, Li Chengzhi knew that Yuwen Yuanqing was gone when he heard the sound of horseshoes heading south.

After a while, Li Liang came back and said that Yuwen Yuanqing was not suspicious.

I didn't say much else, I just said hello to Xi Zhenshou on his behalf...

Li Chengzhi couldn't help sneering: I don't even have time to hide, why don't you ask?

"Tell Li Rui to keep an eye on it. Well... After an hour's rest, if there is nothing unusual, we will start again..."

Even though he thought it was unlikely that Yuwen Yuanqing would act, Li Chengzhi still took precautions.

……

It was the beginning of Yin Shi when he set off again, and in two more hours, it would be dawn.

Even though the moonlight was very bright, it was always night. He was afraid of hurting the horse, and even more afraid of hurting people, so Li Chengzhi ordered the scouts and guards to move slowly.

His intention was not to hurry, but just in case, lest he stay where he was and be surrounded to death...

After a day of rushing and tossing around half the night, both the man and the horse were exhausted, and Li Chengzhi didn't want to lift his sleepy eyelids.

But he hadn't learned how to sleep on horseback. If he wanted to fall, even if he couldn't break his bones, he would probably have to hit a few horseshoes.In desperation, Li Chengzhi had no choice but to force himself to talk to Li Liang when he had nothing to say.

"Tell me, where did Yuwen Yuanqing get the guts to rob and kill Hu merchants in the county seat? How is this different from Ming robbing?"

Li Chengzhi really couldn't figure it out.

Hu Shang is an official?

Judging from the number of pack horses and the goods they carried, it was definitely not a small caravan, and the leader was at least at the level of Yizhou Sabao.It is the same level as Dawei Naxuanhui of Zhaoxuan Temple in Jingzhou, that is, the masters of Yinzhen, Yinguang and others, and Guo Shouzheng, the master of Taiping Temple in Jingzhou, and the same level as the prefect of Zhongjun, the fifth rank!
In addition, the Yuan and Wei dynasties have always regarded themselves as the orthodox Han family, showing the Chinese style everywhere, and the most taboo thing is to be called a barbarian. Therefore, the nature of what Yuwen Yuanqing did is really bad, and the court will definitely investigate in the end……

"I guess it's money that touches people's hearts..."

Li Liang said absently.

Li Chengzhi didn't speak, but just responded vaguely.

Just for money?

Not really, right?

With such a big racecourse, and his father Yu Wenfu is the highest boss directly in charge of the racecourse, Tai Puqing, Yuwen Yuan Qingyin should not report the number of horses, cattle and sheep too easily.

Otherwise, how could Li Song be able to buy thousands of horses so easily?
But apart from this reason, for a while, Li Chengzhi couldn't think of any reason for the reunion.

Suspicious in his heart, Li Chengzhi raised his head subconsciously when he noticed that the horse seemed to slow down.

The former team seems to have stopped?
It should be that the scouts found something abnormal, but it was not a big problem, so Li Rui didn't blow the horn.

He glanced to the east, and vaguely saw Yiqi trotting towards this side with broken hoofs.

It really is Li Rui...

When he got closer, Li Rui did not report loudly as usual, but got off his horse and moved closer to Li Chengzhi.

Being so close, Li Chengzhi saw it very clearly: those two Doudou's bright eyes are scary, just like wolves.

Taking a closer look, for some reason, Li Chengzhi always felt that the expression on Li Rui's face was a little... well, wretched...

What did you find?
Just as Li Chengzhi was about to ask, Li Rui leaned forward, almost sticking it into his arms, and stuffed something into his hand: "I picked this up a mile away..."

What is it, furtive?
Li Chengzhi caught it and instinctively pinched it.

Half soft and half hard, like cloth, like leather, seems to have a trace of powder fragrance...

When he saw what it was, Li Chengzhi was taken aback.

This is clearly a shoe, and there is still some damp inside, which means it has just been worn.

And it's a woman's embroidered shoe...

Li Chengzhi suddenly realized: It is estimated that the team of Hu merchants fell behind.

Immediately, his face darkened again, and the sole of his shoe almost hit Li Rui's face.

You bastard, why is your expression so wretched?
Why didn't I realize before that you, Li Yuan'er, still have such a hobby?

Is it just a shoe that makes you so excited?

"Give your husband everything?" Li Chengzhi cursed angrily, and threw the shoe to Li Rui, "Next time you find a pair of obscene pants (underpants), will you also stuff them for me?"

"How could the servant be so ignorant?"

Li Rui called Qu, "It's a person... It should be two women, and the servants have been surrounded..."

Li Liang's face sank: "It's long-winded... Make it clear!"

Now that everyone is surrounded, why did Li Rui say "should"?
