The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 276 The Horse Thief Appears, Blood Stains the Wild Sand (1)
Snow mountains are the common belief of the North Korean people and are sacred and inviolable.

It's just... on the way from Tianxia Pass to Black Pool City, there is a dangerous road that must be passed.The name is Tianhe.There, the terrain is dangerous and it is very easy to be ambushed.

And in that area, it is said that there is a group of horse thieves, very rampant, fearless, and often seek bad luck from businessmen.

If you are in a good mood, pay the money and settle the matter. If you are in a bad mood, this group of people will kill the person first, and then take the money away.Many people, when passing through this area, never returned home.

The government of North Korea is also very troubled by this, and has sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times.However, this group of horse thieves was very clever, and they never confronted the government head-on. They always scattered before the encirclement and suppression, and went around to the rear of the troops to light the fire and play around.Then he walked away and disappeared for a while.

After the government's soldiers and horses retreated, they made a comeback.

On this day, the convoy of Jiuming Company entered the boundary of Tianhe, and the Buddha guards, paying attention to the movements around them with vigilant expressions, protected the carriage Chu Qing was sitting on and moved forward.

In the Tianhe area, there are jagged rocks, rugged roads, and uneven ground under their feet, making it difficult for horses to move an inch.

After a while, several horses in Chasili's team were bloodstained by sharp stones, making it difficult to walk.Helpless, the brigade could only take the risk of stopping in the sky and rest for a while.

Standing outside the car, Chu Qing saw hideous strange rocks as far as he could see. There were gravels everywhere under his feet, and the yellow sand was blown by the wind, forming tiny whirlpools.

Looking up, there is only a sky without a trace of cloud and smoke from the scorching sun, and there is no place to shade.

"Master." Xu Chong was ordered to come to Chu Qing's side and saluted respectfully.

Chu Qing nodded lightly, and asked: "Xu Chong, when you were guarding the city at the border, have you ever been here?"

Xu Chong looked at the surrounding scenery, and a faint nostalgia appeared in his eyes: "Back then, General Xin brought us here many times, but they all came secretly, in order to inquire about the movements of the North Koreans."

"Is the horse thief in the sky really as difficult as the rumors say?" Chu Qing frowned.

Xu Chong shook his head: "There was no such group of people back then, they must have appeared later. So my subordinates are not sure, but the master can rest assured that no matter whether they are powerful or not, the Futu guards will do their best to protect the safety of the master .”

Chu Qing smiled, and turned to look at Qiasli: "I'm not worried about this problem. It's just that our horses seem to be unable to withstand the climate and terrain here."

Xu Chong was stunned for a moment, sighed and said, "The horses in Southern Chu are mostly pony horses, and they are bred. No matter in temperament or physical strength, they can't compare with the horses in North Korea. When we were in Huben, those horses we rode The horses were all sold by General Xin and sold privately with horse dealers in North Korea. The purpose is to let our hundreds of brothers not be unable to exert their real combat power on the battlefield because of the defects of the mounts. "

After Chu Qing heard what happened, she nodded slightly: "Your general is a real soldier and a good person." After speaking, she looked at Xu Chong and smiled at him: "Don't worry, your hatred will always be remembered. In my heart. Sooner or later, I will send the enemy before you, let you be hacked into pieces, and comfort the spirit of General Xin."

Surprise burst out of Xu Chong's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he clasped his fists and saluted to Chu Qing: "This subordinate has never doubted the master."

Chu Qing smiled, and after a moment of silence, asked: "These horseshoes are all newly nailed, but they still can't stand the friction in the sky, what can you do?"

Xu Chong pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "You can consider using double horseshoes to pin them together, which may reduce the friction. As long as you persist through the Tianhe, it will be fine."

"How much time will it take to get out of Tianhe?" Chu Qing asked.

Xu Chong calculated in his mind, and replied: "If the current speed is followed, it will take about an hour before we can go out."

Chu Qing nodded slightly: "That's it, tell everyone to get on their horses, and let's move on."

"Yes!" Xu Chong clasped his fists in response, and took the order to leave.

However, before he could turn around, there was a sound of horseshoes in front of him, and yellow sand kicked up from under the horseshoes.

Xu Chong's complexion changed, he stood in front of Chu Qing, raised his hand and clenched his fist, and shouted loudly: "Be on guard!"

Following the order, the Buddha Guard reacted instantly.

Yuwensang and Qiasli were still stunned, unable to react.

It was only when they saw the flying yellow sand and the chaotic sound of horses' hoofs that they realized what had happened.Similarly, their faces were tense.

The guards they brought also drew out their swords, tightly protected them, and approached the Buddha Guard.

"A horse thief?" Chu Qing said calmly, frowning and looking at the dusty place.

Xu Chong admired Chu Qing's calmness in the face of danger, but he quickly said: "It should be a horse thief. If it is an army or a caravan, the sound of horses' hoofs will not be so chaotic. Master, hurry back to the carriage, and this subordinate will personally meet this group of desperate people." horse thief."

After Xu Chong finished speaking, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

In the same way, returning to the familiar battlefield, the killing intent hidden in the body of the Buddha Guards was released, and the coldness from the underworld immediately condensed the surrounding air.

Chu Qing nodded slightly, knowing that staying here was only a hindrance.Just as he was about to turn around and get into the car, he saw figures rushing out of the yellow sand, yelling wild words.

In the Tianhe area, the yellow sand swept up, and the sound of horseshoes approached. In a breath, countless horse thieves wrapped in felt cloth rushed out of the yellow sand and entered the eyes of everyone, holding Senhan's weapons high.

Xu Chong stood in front of Chu Qing, and when the horse thief rushed in, his eyes froze.

Blocking Chu Qing, he retreated repeatedly and did not stop until the carriage. "Master, these horse thieves don't seem to be easy, you stay in the car."

From Xu Chong's voice, Chu Qing heard some caution.

She nodded slightly, took a step back, turned and entered the carriage.You He and Xing Rong in the car also stretched out their hands at the same time, pulling her in nervously.

Before getting into the carriage, Chu Qing looked back at those wild horse thieves, and saw that they were all tall and tall, all wrapped in felt cloth, and their faces could not be seen clearly. But it was glowing with a permeating cold light.

Seeing this group of people, these horse thieves also tightened their reins, looking at them fiercely and murderously.The horses under them seemed to be walking indiscriminately, but in fact, they blocked their chance to break through.

With just one glance, Chu Qing withdrew his eyes and quickly got into the carriage.Then, she lifted the curtain on the car window, looked at Yuwensang and Chasili who were protected by the family guards, and waved to them.
