Chapter 627: Separation
After the victory, everyone walked briskly. Although this battle was won by a sneak attack, it was a bit of a victory. But this does not prevent everyone from tearing their throats and singing a song.
On a vast desert night, you can roar as much as you want without caring about other people's strange eyes.
Well, anyway, on such a dark night, you can't see people's expressions......
When a group of soldiers who were overly passionate shouted and returned to the camp, the people on duty in the camp thought that there was an enemy night attack, and they were so frightened that they held their weapons and stared nervously at the soldiers from far to near.
After Chen Fei explained how to take care of the prisoners, he couldn't wait to stretch his waist and get into the camp tent. Now he was in a very relaxed state, and he soon fell asleep in the tent.
But this night, some people are destined to be happy and some are worried, Chen Fei and the others fell asleep, and when the dreams were sweet, the people in the other camp lost sleep.
It was the merchant Namu. In the dark tent, a small candle flickered brightly, and in front of him sat a person, who looked like a very ordinary hired guard in the escort team he had hired.
"Are you sure you have the numbers? Tang Jun is not missing? Namu asked in a low voice, speaking in their country's language.
The guard nodded, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and also responded in the language of his own country: "Yes, Lord Namu, I can see it very clearly, and even for fear of making a mistake, I also went up to ask the Tang Army, and the answer I got was the same as what I counted, the Tang Army did not miss a single one, but only a few were seriously wounded, and the army of the Sixty has been destroyed, and there are twenty-four prisoners alone, not to mention the casualties." By the way, both Titi and Tyvesazon were captured alive and held there. ”
Namu suddenly fell silent, frowned and thought for a long time before slowly speaking: "Xiti's combat effectiveness is not weak, it can be regarded as a relatively powerful force within a radius of a hundred miles, and Xiti is ruthless, even if it is a sneak attack, it shouldn't be defeated so completely, right?" It seems that the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army is beyond our imagination! ”
The guard glanced at Namu and said cautiously, "My lord, what do you mean......"
Namu glanced at the guard lightly and snorted, "What do I mean? I don't mean anything, Cutty, that idiot, once wanted to do something to me, and he deserved to die! What's more, he is from Gaochang, what does it have to do with our Qiuzi? What worries me now is that His Majesty's decision does not know whether it is right or wrong. ”
The guard scratched his head and stopped talking, he was not qualified to intervene when it came to major matters of national decision-making.
"That's it." Namu sighed, "Things have already been decided, it's no fun to dwell on it anymore, let's take one step at a time, just hope, not too much beyond our expectations." You stand down. ”
"Yes!" The guards retreated, and Namu let out a long sigh in the tent, and soon, the candles in the tent were extinguished, and darkness was plunged.
The next morning, the calm camp gradually became lively as the people woke up from their sleep.
Chen Fei took a sip of water, then took a hard bite of the dry food he was carrying, and said vaguely: "General Tian, after the brothers have eaten, we will sort out the formation, and we will go back to Yumen Pass!" ”
Tian Qiu's eating appearance is similar to Chen Fei's, it is an informal behavior, hearing this, he stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of dry food fiercely, "Okay!" A matter of a moment. ”
After swallowing the last mouthful of dry food, Chen Fei sorted out his things a little, and then found Namu, who was busy commanding the caravan.
When Namu saw Chen Fei coming over, he smiled innocently and stepped forward to salute and say hello. "Lord Chen's fruitful results last night were really beyond the old man's expectations. The old man congratulates Mr. Chen here, and also thanks Mr. Chen for the merchants who come and go on the Silk Road, and makes it clear to us that there is a big bully on the Silk Road. ”
"Hehehe," Chen Fei grinned and accepted Namu's compliment, but soon he restrained his smile, approached Namu, and whispered, "Brother Nahe, I'm afraid you're not really happy in your heart at the moment, right?" ”
Namu was shocked, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface and said, "What do you mean, my lord?" Why is the old man unhappy? ”
Chen Fei suddenly laughed, patted Namu's shoulder, and smiled very openly: "Hahaha! I'm going to leave with the army, will you be happy? ”
"What? Adults are leaving? Namu breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression on his face became exaggerated.
"That's right, I'm going to go back after the banditry is over, Brother Na has taken good care of me along the way......" Chen Fei touched the bulging cloth bag on his waist, and showed a philistine smile again. Don't worry, I'm not a person who takes the benefits and turns around and doesn't recognize people, as long as Brother Na comes to Chang'an in the future, I will be the east, and I will definitely treat you well! ”
Namu smiled bitterly, then nodded, and bowed long to Chen Fei: "So, thank you, old man!" ”
Chen Fei's impression of Namu is not bad, and dealing with a person who can be a person is naturally a very happy thing, so before parting, he still chatted with Namu a lot.
It's just that Namu's expression is a little strange, and he looks like he wants to speak, but he doesn't know how to speak.
"Brother Na has something to say?" Chen Fei wondered.
Namu stopped talking, hanging Chen Fei's appetite.
"If you have something to say, I'm leaving soon." Chen Fei, who was originally enthusiastic, suddenly became cold, and his painting style changed a little fast, which made Namu a little unacceptable.
"Uh..." Namu hesitated for a while, and finally behaved very embarrassed, quietly pulling Chen Fei down to a place where no one was around, and his mysterious appearance made Chen Fei have a bad premonition in his heart.
"My lord, the old man actually has something to say....... However, there is no basis for this, and the old man does not dare to spread it at will. ”
"Let's listen to it, it doesn't matter if one more person knows and one less person knows, right?"
Namu pursed his lips, and finally said in a low voice: "My lord, the old man has been rumored these days that the Western Regions seem to be not peaceful. It seems that someone is pushing something behind it, and what is the specific, the old man doesn't know. ”
What's behind someone's pushing? Chen Fei frowned deeply, and first guessed the Holy Mother Sect.
"Have you ever heard of the Church of Our Lady?"
"What?" Namu wondered.
"Haven't you heard of the Church of Our Lady, a sect?"
"Uh," Namu scratched his head, "I seem to have heard that there seems to be a sect that has recently emerged in our Qiuzi, but I usually run on the road, and I don't believe in many sects, so I don't know much about it." ”
The Church of Our Lady has indeed developed in the Western Regions! What exactly is their purpose? He had a hunch that the actions of the Holy Mother Sect this time would definitely not be as inexplicable as the last time in Luzhou!
Chen Fei hurriedly asked, "Then do you know when this sect arose?" ”
Namu shook his head regretfully, indicating that he didn't pay attention to the matter.
After learning the answer, Chen Fei had no choice but to let out a long sigh and give up.
Although the Cult of the Virgin Mary is a great threat, he does not have enough troops to deal with them now, so even if he knows about the Cult of the Virgin, he will at most report the situation to the imperial court and let them decide, and he cannot do anything substantial himself.
Meritorious service is important, but small lives are more important.
"I know, this piece of information is very important, Namu, if we meet again, I will definitely repay you!" This time Chen Fei said very seriously, it can be seen that he is... Earnest?
Namu was moved and nodded again and again.
After a while, the teams on both sides were assembled, and the two groups of people went farther and farther in opposite directions.
After walking away, an accomplice beside Namu asked curiously: "Lord Namu, what did you just say to that person surnamed Chen?" ”
Namu glanced at Chen Fei's team, smiled mysteriously, and didn't say much.......
