Yuan Jinliang took the horse thieves to run wild all night, almost tired like dogs, don't look at them Although they are fierce, but because they are addicted to alcohol all day long, their physical fitness is too far behind Li Hao's special forces.

Especially Luo Sanhei, tired like a dead dog, he has only the strength to breathe, in fact, Luo Sanhei's martial arts are not as good as ordinary horse thieves, and he is extremely good at wine and lust, and his body has long been hollowed out, if it weren't for his nose ability, he can smell gold and silver, he is at most a miscellaneous person in the horse thief group.

Yuan Jinliang saw that everyone was already sleepy, and knew that he could no longer escape, so he ordered to rest in place, not to camp, but to let the camels crawl on the ground in a big circle, and surround them in the middle, so that they could avoid the attack of wind and sand, and they could rest for two hours while it was cool in the morning.

When everyone was leading the camels, Yuan Jinliang found two women on the back of a horse, and when he stepped forward, it was Fat Di in a white shirt and a silver fox in black.

Seeing this, Yuan Jinliang shouted angrily: "The third child! We're on the run, and you're even bringing these two women out, are you crazy! ”

Luo Sanhei hurriedly begged: "Big brother, I don't want all the gold and silver this time, I want these two women, I have left all the four female dependents of that big official to him, these two women have nothing to do with him, he won't chase us because of this." ”

"Humph!" Yuan Jinliang glared at him fiercely, then sat down depressedly, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, this dog official is so capable, I don't know where to get horses and camels, alas...... No, it stands to reason that the medicinal effect of the Lying Cow Drink has not passed, how did he wake up? ”

Luo Sanhei shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, the sleeping cow drink in the inn is ordered by you, and I am only responsible for drugging in the barracks." ”

Yuan Jinliang said: "When the dog officer stayed in the inn, there were only seven people, four of them were women, and they were taken captive by us, and there were dozens of people who attacked us this time, aren't they people from the barracks?" ”

Luo Sanhei was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help asking: "Is it that we use too little lying cow drink, it doesn't make sense, I saw that there were more than 500 people in the barracks, so I used the whole bottle." ”

"I used five drops." Yuan Jinliang said, "One drop of water from the lying cow can make five people unconscious for ten hours, and five drops are definitely enough." ”

"Could it be that ......" the two suddenly met their eyes, and almost shouted in unison, "that shopkeeper has an antidote?" ”

"Damn!" Thinking of this, Yuan Jinliang couldn't help but slam his fist on the sand, gritted his teeth and said, "This shopkeeper doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, he can actually get the antidote to the sleeping cow drink." ”

Luo Sanhei shouted: "After a while, we must go back and uproot the inn, grandma's, I'm so angry with Lao Tzu that Lao Tzu lost four beauties for no reason......"

At this moment, a horse thief suddenly came to report, the two women woke up, Luo Sanhei was stunned when he heard this, and Yuan Jinliang hurriedly turned around and walked over, and sure enough, they found that Fat Di and the silver fox were awake.

According to the normal way of thinking, after the woman was robbed by the horse thief, she either scolded or begged for mercy or cried a lot, but these two women were extremely calm, not noisy or noisy, and did not cry, which made Yuan Jinliang and Luo Sanhei a little unbearable, Yuan Jinliang thought about it and said: "Add two more ropes to them, keep an eye on me carefully, if there is any mistake, pick your skin!" ”

Although he didn't know where Fat Di came from, the name of the silver fox had already been like thunder, and there were many horse thief leaders in the desert planted in her hands, he didn't want to be one of them, if it wasn't for Luo Sanhei's insistence on taking the silver fox back to enjoy, he would have killed her with a knife.

Li Hao led everyone to continue to chase the horse thief, and not long after he set off, Turandot woke up, followed by Gulina and Elena, Qin Su may have woken up after half an hour due to his weak body.

The desert wind and sand are big, sometimes only an hour of time, the wind and sand can cover the walking traces of the horse team, fortunately they have Jinli, Li Hao let Jinli track down the whereabouts of the horse thief along the way, Jinli and their six brothers really lived up to expectations, after several broken tracks are very accurate to find out the escape route of the horse thief, finally, at three o'clock in the morning, Li Hao found the horse thief's camel team through the telescope, about twenty miles away, they seem to be resting there.

Li Hao did not give the order to attack, but asked the soldiers to set up a simple small tent to rest in place, because he knew that it was definitely useless to attack during the day, and the horse thieves were not fools, and they would definitely run when they came, so it was better to take this opportunity to rest, and then follow them all the way, and wait until it was dark before acting.

Li Hao's plan is indeed very reasonable, they followed the horse thief all the way not far and close, and controlled the distance at more than twenty miles, as long as the horse thief hurried, they also hurried, the horse thief rested, they also rested, and finally waited until nightfall, the horse thief began to camp, Li Hao also let everyone eat, drink and feed the horses, and then rest, and wait until late at night to act.

In the middle of the night again, Li Hao used a telescope to observe the horse thief camp, and found that the horse thieves had fallen asleep, he immediately ordered everyone to set off, this time they did not ride their horses and gallop, but approached unhurriedly, it took nearly an hour to travel twenty miles, at this moment they were still six miles away from the horse thief camp, a cold wind blew, Li Hao slowly ordered: "Lu Yun take care of the female dependents, and the others will follow me close to the enemy camp." ”

And in the horse thief camp, Luo Sanhei, who was sleeping soundly, was forced to wake up by the urge to urinate, walked out of the tent to pee, and after a soak of urine, he instinctively shivered, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew, blowing a pungent smell.

Luo Sanhei was taken aback, he was allergic to the smell of metal, the smell of gold, silver, copper and iron, so he could accurately smell the smell of gold and silver, and this gust of wind was blowing from the east, mixed with the smell of iron.

He was immediately shocked, hurriedly found the horse thief standing guard, and shouted: "It's terrible, the enemy is attacking!" Hit the gong! ”

With the sound of the gong, all the horse thieves rushed out one after another, and in order to prevent them from being attacked again, Yuan Jinliang ordered all of them to sleep with their clothes and their knives without leaving their bodies.

Yuan Jinliang quickly rushed out of the camp tent, just as Luo Sanhei came to him, and said urgently: "Big brother, I smell the smell of iron in the east wind, it should be the enemy chasing after me!" ”

Yuan Jinliang was shocked: "Quickly retreat!" ”

Li Hao heard the sound of gongs in the enemy camp five miles away, he was startled, looked through binoculars, and found that this group of horse thieves had begun to prepare to escape, but he didn't expect to be discovered by them again, so he immediately ordered a pursuit.

After chasing for more than two hours, the horses on both sides have begun to foam, the horse thief changed to a camel to escape, Li Hao also changed to a camel to chase, and chased until dawn, but still did not catch up, the distance was pulled away, and was thrown nearly ten miles.

Li Hao knew that he couldn't catch up, so he simply took everyone to rest on the spot, he sat silently on the sand and drank water, ate Hu cakes, his brain was running rapidly, and he tried every means to rescue Fat Di, but he found that there was no good way at all, the desert was the home of the horse thieves, and he had no other advantages except for the advantages of the telescope and the repeater, the key was that the anti-sneak attack ability of these horse thieves was too strong, and his two night attacks were discovered in advance, and the most puzzled thing for him was the second night attack, obviously they were slowly approaching, In the vast darkness of the night, he could neither see the figure nor hear the sound, how did the other party find out, he never dreamed that the other party had a metal allergy patient, this is also a strange flower.

Li Hao thought about it for a long time, and had prepared for the worst, that is, if he couldn't save Fat Di along the way, he could only wait for the horse thief to return to his lair before making a move, but the horse thief's lair must be more heavily guarded.

Li Hao has always hung more than ten to twenty miles behind the horse thief, and he tried several sorties and was discovered by the other party in advance, can he not be discovered, it is summer now, every day is the east wind, as long as they get close, Luo Sanhei can smell the smell of iron in the wind, it is simply the monitoring radar of the horse thieves.

Seven days later, they began to enter the Puchanghai (Lop Nur) area, and when they arrived here, Jin Li suddenly realized and told Li Hao that the old nest of this group of horse thieves was in the ancient city of Loulan nine times out of ten.

Li Hao of the ancient city of Loulan knows that the ancient and mysterious place was there when he went to Xinjiang in his previous life, but when he went to Xinjiang in his previous life, it was already in ruins, and the ancient city of Loulan in this era did not know what it was. Jin Li told him that the ancient city of Loulan was originally one of the important strongholds of the Silk Road, where merchants from all over the world gathered to gather and trade, similar to the rural market, which also became an important food supply point.

However, Jin Li had heard some caravans complain that the ancient city of Loulan had been occupied by a gang of horse thieves since last year, and had become a den of horse thieves, and now no one dared to approach it.

And that night, Li Hao received another piece of news that made him frown, they didn't have much food left, and the grain and grass were already insufficient, and the horses were too expensive to eat and grass on the desert.

It's really a house leak and a continuous rain, Li Hao thought about it for a long time, and made a decision to discard the horses, of course, not now, but to squeeze the last trace of the use value of these horses, he knew that this was cruel, but he was also helpless, in order to save people, he had to do this, now it is a war between him and the horse thief, since it is a war, it must be cruel, and sacrificing dozens of horses is nothing at all.

Ten thousand steps back, the horses were abandoned in the desert, either dying of thirst or feeding the wolves, and the final result was still death.

Early the next morning, Li Hao ordered to ride a horse to pursue the horse thief, ran until the horse ran out of strength, bleed the horse, put the horse in a state of excitement, and continued to chase.

After chasing for more than 50 miles in a row, the thirty horses on Li Hao's side were all exhausted in the end, and the horse thieves were not having a good time, most of their horses were wasted, and now there are less than twenty left.

In order to save food, Li Hao let everyone eat horse meat for one day, and killed another camel the next day, which was enough for more than 30 people to eat.

On the third day, Li Hao saw through the telescope that an ancient city appeared in the vast desert in the distance, it was an abandoned ancient city, it was still far away from here, about sixty or seventy miles, the whole was yellow, although it was dilapidated, it could barely live in people, from the appearance of this ancient city, Li Hao could roughly see that this should be the ancient city of Loulan.

Sure enough, the next morning, the horse thieves entered the city, Li Hao stopped five miles outside the city, looking at this ancient city from a distance, thoughtfully, this dilapidated ancient city, like a man-eating giant beast entrenched here, since this gang of horse thieves settled, here every day to interpret the darkness and sin of the world, I don't know how many lives have been devoured.
