Chapter 268 Lost
After staying in this city for five days, An Xiu'er and the others were ready to leave. Although they lived a simple and happy life in Qianhui City, they rushed back to sell new year's goods, otherwise they would have bought so many furs and felts. If you don't take advantage of the year before and sell it, it will be rare to sell it in the coming year.

Walking back along the way, An Xiu'er felt much more relaxed. She sat in the carriage most of the time, and when the sun was shining at noon, she got permission from An Tieshi to go out for a ride.

Where the Western Regions meet the Central Plains, there is a large desert. When they came here before, An Xiuer and the others almost lost their way in this desert, but they came to the Western Regions smoothly. When they returned this time, An Xiuer and the others There is nothing to be afraid of, after all, the first time is born and the second time is familiar.

Although An Tieshi can't memorize other things, he has always been good at memorizing directions. He has a strong sense of direction. With him around, An Xiu'er can rest assured.

However, she can also understand why fewer merchants come to the Western Regions to do business. One is because of the long distance and difficult conditions along the way, and the other is because of the desert.

"Brother, you said this desert, would anyone get lost in it?" An Xiu'er asked, she was a little curious.

"I don't know, there must be some people who get lost, but there should be few of them. Since they are going to do business, they must have made a perfect plan and brought a guide. Unlike us, they came here in a hurry. Blind."

"Big brother is here, so we don't need a guide. Big brother is the best guide in my mind." An Xiu'er said, "This road is made by human beings. If we blindly rely on the guide, if the guide sells us , then we are all done? What's more, in Minyue County, where can we find a guide to the Western Regions?"

"You're right." An Tieshi nodded, leading the two of them over a sand dune, and saw a group of soldiers in armor.

Seeing An Xiu'er and the others, these soldiers were overjoyed, the ranks became commotion, and everyone said, "We're saved, we're saved."

An Tieshi saw them from a distance, but he didn't really want to deal with these soldiers. Although he had fantasies about these soldiers, he believed that men should make contributions, but not all soldiers deserve their respect.

Along the way, they saw quite a few things. Some soldiers were really like bandits.

Thinking of this, An Tieshi looked at the goods behind him, then at his people, and compared the disparity in strength between the two sides, he felt that it would be safe for him to take another route.

They had heard a lot of stories along the way, especially the old man who was the shopkeeper of the inn in Qianhui City. He told them these rivers and lakes stories when he had nothing to do, but it shocked them.

For example, when encountering many soldiers, be careful. Many soldiers are actually bandits. Their salary is not much, and they will rob the money and goods of roadside merchants. The horse bandits that often appear in the desert are even more terrifying.

As the saying goes, it is better to believe what you have than to believe what you have not.

Thinking of this, An Tieshi said: "Avoid them."

Everyone turned their horses around. To be honest, with so many goods, it is not so easy to change the direction at once. An Tieshi thought that they should go straight, and he planned to bypass them.

"Brother." An Xiu'er said, she could understand what An Tieshi was thinking, in fact, she was more afraid than An Tieshi at this moment.

When An Xiu'er saw these soldiers from a distance, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, thinking that they were full of blood.

"Are you going to be okay?" An Xiu'er asked.

"It will be fine." An Tieshi nodded.

The soldiers on the opposite side of them were happy when they finally saw a merchant passing by, but when they saw An Tieshi and others turn their horses around, they were all a little silly.

These soldiers turned out to be Zhang Zhenan and others who were trapped in the desert. Last time they rested in Cangzhou for a period of time, there was another battle ahead, but this time they fought at the horse slaves in Yanzhi Mountain. These horse slaves They have lived on horseback for a long time, and all of them are vicious.

This time Zhang Zhenan won the battle, but was asked by his superiors to go after them. Who knows, they lost their way in this desert. They have been trapped for a few days. Fortunately, they brought some dry food and water with them. As for being starved to death, of course, only some people can understand the taste of being trapped these few days. If they are trapped for a few more days, they will have no water or food.

After all, a caravan arrived. They were not overjoyed, but they didn't expect that the first time they saw them, they would turn around and leave.

"What are they?" Wei Hu was a little confused, they really didn't understand the actions of An Tieshi and others.

"Go up and ask." Wei Hu said to a soldier next to him.

"Yes!" The soldier got the order and chased after him on horseback.

An Tieshi was a little nervous when he saw this. Their caravan returned with a full load this time, and the goods slowed down their progress.

An Tieshi thought it over, if these soldiers really wanted to rob him, then he would fight them to the death.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why did you turn around and leave when you saw us?" The soldier who came to ask the question was a little arrogant, and An Tieshi replied in a cold voice: "I didn't see you, and the desert is so big, we want to Walk as you go."

An Tieshi had heard from the old man a long time ago that when these soldiers wanted to rob merchants, they first made up a lame excuse and then started burning, killing and looting. ?

"Wow, I think you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" The soldier said coldly, "You have clearly seen it, but you despise us and turn a blind eye. I can draw a knife and chop you at any time."

"The tone is not small, there is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime!" An Tieshi said coldly, and gestured to the guards. It seemed that the soldiers were really hostile, and they wanted to grab something. It's no wonder that so many crimes are placed on himself and others, so that when they rob them, they will feel more at ease.

Damn!

An Tieshi cursed in his heart. He has always been a person who takes the weak but not the hard. He treats others very well. Although they may not be the opponents of this group of soldiers, they always have to try. Be a man You can't be cowardly, and men can't be cowardly!

"Sister, you go first." An Tieshi said to An Xiu'er: "When we fight later, it would be great if we can save you."

"I won't go." An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "I believe that you guys will be fine, brother."

As she said that, she looked at the soldier and said coldly: "What do you want to do? Don't you just want to rob us, go straight up, why do we plant so many crimes on our heads? , I really want to set up a torii if I am a bitch!"

An Xiu'er scolded her head and face, at this moment, the soldier scratched his head, he didn't even know what he was here for.

As soon as An Xiu'er got stronger, the little soldier weakened, and said: "We just want you to take us out of the desert, why are you so fierce?"

"Is it your attitude to ask for help?" An Xiu'er snorted coldly, and said, "Don't think we are stupid, when we take you to the edge of the desert, you ambushed people there, just in time to catch us all?"

"Tie him up," An Tieshi said.

Immediately someone came over behind him and tied up the little soldier. The little soldier looked dazed. At this moment, he didn't dare to be arrogant, so he just explained repeatedly: "We are really just here to ask you to take us out of the desert. Yes, we are the Mu family army, and we never do things like burning, killing and looting."

"Really?" An Xiu'er's voice softened a little at this time, but the two of them still had some doubts, "Mu's army is far away in Cangzhou, how could they appear here? You must be lying, and you want to gain our trust."

"I..." The soldier felt a little helpless when he heard that An Xiu'er and the two didn't trust him. For a while, he had nothing to say, because it was too long to explain this matter.

"What should I do?" An Tieshi asked in a low voice.

"How about our force?" An Xiu'er asked.

Although they brought a lot of people to the Western Regions this time, the people they brought were just to guard against some ordinary bandits, and they were not prepared for these soldiers and bandits.

Moreover, they have brought so many goods now, and many people have put them on the way to supervise the construction of houses, so the manpower is really insufficient now.

"It's not enough for them." An Tieshi replied.

An Xiu'er said: "Trust him for now, if they are really soldiers and bandits, we will capture the king first and kill the generals they lead."

The two of them said these words and didn't avoid the little soldier. The little soldier was stunned while listening to him. He had to say that they were thinking too much. They were really serious soldiers.

Why did the merchants of Daqi distrust them so much when they met merchants from Daqi when they were defending the territory outside?

"Go over and let your generals come and see us with their own hands and feet." An Xiu'er said, "Only in this way can we rest assured."

"This..." The little soldier was a little embarrassed, and said, "We dare not make mistakes."

"Anything is wrong, just do it if you are asked to do it, and forget it if you don't agree." The spring equinox beside An Xiu'er said fiercely.

She and Qiu Yu knew kung fu, so the soldier was escorted by the two of them. An Xiuer told them to watch carefully, so that they would have no time to find someone to pretend to be a general. , the two of them should also be safe and not be killed.

"Be careful." But An Xiu'er still reminded her.

"Don't worry." Chun Equinox nodded and said: "If they want to mess around, I will kill this kid first and use it as a human shield."
