Chapter 143: Chasing the Horse Thief (Medium)
Li Hao was just about to give the order to set off, when he suddenly heard a shout: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute, my lord! ”
Li Hao turned his head to look back when he heard this, only to see Jin Li rushing over with the other five people in the inn, Li Hao had a military order, before the military formation, no stranger was allowed to approach, so the thirty special forces saw them coming, turned their guns together, and pointed at them, and shouted at the same time: "Heh! ”
A simple action, the simplest low roar, and a neat and uniform action, just sent out the momentum of 300 people but 3,000 people, so frightened that Jin Li and the others fell to the ground one after another, not daring to get up.
Li Hao waved his hand and asked the thirty people to put away their guns, and then said slowly: "The golden shopkeeper, please get up, I don't know what else is going on?" ”
Jin Li got up with his brothers, looked at the thirty expressionless parts behind Li Hao with palpitations, and then arched his hand and said, "My lord, please bring the six of us brothers." ”
Li Hao frowned and said, "This time, the good luck is uncertain, why should the golden shopkeeper take this risk." ”
Jin Li shook his head and said: "Don't tell lies in front of adults, just listen to the people in the caravan talk about the heroic deeds of adults, the villain is ashamed and admired, he has lived most of his life in a daze, and he doesn't know what his family and country are, and the adult talent has been on the battlefield at the age of sixteen to capture the enemy chieftain, in comparison, the villain is simply shameless; The six of us brothers have encountered ups and downs and have gone astray, and the villain hopes that the adults will give us a chance to lead us back to the right path. ”
Li Hao nodded when he heard this: "You said it very well, you know that you are lost, the prodigal son turns around, goes to the caravan to borrow ten more camels, and moves quickly, we have been delayed for too long!" ”
"Yes!" Jin Li was very excited when he heard this, and took his brothers to find the caravan.
It didn't take long for the six of them to ride out on camels, and Jin Li came to Li Hao's side and said, "My lord, the villain has been crisscrossing the desert for many years, and he is especially good at desert tracking, and the matter of tracking is handed over to the villain." ”
"Good! It's hard to be a shopkeeper! Li Hao was very happy when he heard this.
"Brothers, follow me to the front to clear the way!" Jin Li made a big move, and rushed out with his five brothers in the lead.
"Sons! Let's go! Li Hao set off with the thirty parts.
They drove the camels all the way to gallop, set off at noon, in the evening, the camels were tired, Li Hao ordered to rest for the time being, let the camels replenish the water, continue to hurry, when it was dark, they finally walked out of the desert, into the Gobi region, in the night, Li Hao picked up the binoculars and looked, Shazhou was in front.
About half an hour later, Li Hao and his entourage came to the front of Shazhou City, Shazhou is also known as Dunhuang County, later changed to Shazhou, is an important town on the Silk Road, there are officials and soldiers stationed here, the blue wolf helps the horse thieves to go around naturally, but Li Hao must come, he wants to borrow horses.
At this moment, the night has fallen, the city gate has been closed, Li Hao shouted under the city tower: "Li Hao, the assassin of the Tang Dynasty and the commander of the capital of Zhichong, is ordered to go to his post, pass through Shazhou, please go out of the city to see Shazhou!" ”
At night, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding guns and halberds suddenly came outside the city gate to see the history of the assassination, and also called themselves the history of the Tingzhou assassination, it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, and the soldiers defending the city hurriedly reported to the assassin's mansion and the Zhichong mansion.
In less than twenty minutes, a large number of torches appeared on the city tower, and a person in a dark crimson official uniform poked his head out of the lookout and glanced down, and then said in a loud voice: "Li Zhongxiao, the official Shazhou assassin, who is under the city?" ”
Li Hao replied loudly: "Li Hao, the official Tingzhou assassin and the commander of Tingzhou, is crazy about poetry, there are 100,000 urgent matters, please tell Lord Li Zhongxiao face to face." ”
"How do I prove your identity?" Li Zhongxiao asked.
Li Hao raised the Minghuang Holy Decree and the official seal in his hand, lit it with a torch, and said in a loud voice: "The Holy Decree and the official seal are here, and the adults can send someone to check them." ”
Seeing this, Shazhou Beijia on the side said in a low voice: "My lord, there are only thirty of them, it is better to let them in first." ”
"No, don't be careless." Li Zhongxiao turned his head to face a general in armor and said, "General Hong, you send someone down to inspect it, don't open the city gate." ”
General Nahong said: "I will go down personally." As he spoke, he shouted to a soldier behind him, "Drop the rope!" ”
The soldier took out a long rope and hung down from the city tower, the four soldiers pulled together, General Hong climbed the battlements, and the rope went down, the city tower was not high, he quickly landed, and then strode to Li Hao, arched his hand and said: "I am Hong Gang, the commander of Shazhou Zhichong Mansion, and I came to check your holy decree and official seal." ”
Li Hao turned over and immediately stepped forward to hand over the holy decree and official seal, and said, "I'm tired of General Hong." ”
Hong Gang took it in his hand and examined it carefully, and then asked, "Is there an official document?" ”
"Absolutely." Li Hao nodded, took out the official document from his arms, and handed it to him.
Hong Gang carefully checked the official documents again, handed all the things back to Li Hao, and then turned around and shouted to the city tower: "Lord Li, it has been verified that all the official seals and holy decrees are true!" ”
Li Zhongxiao waved his hand when he heard this: "Quickly open the city gate, let Tingzhou assassinate Shi into the city!" After speaking, he walked down the city tower with all the officials and went to greet Li Hao.
Li Hao did not enter the city, but met with Li Zhongxiao in the city gate, and after saluting each other, Li Hao said: "Lord Li, the matter is urgent, I will make a long story short, we encountered horse thieves at the Longmen Inn, my wife and the female relatives of the family were robbed by horse thieves, all the camels were robbed, and all the horses were slaughtered, and now I want to ask you to lend me forty fast horses and forty camels, and let me pursue the horse thieves." ”
Li Zhongxiao originally wanted to say a pleasant greeting, but seeing Li Hao's anxious face, he said without hesitation: "Master Li, don't worry, this official will send someone to prepare, you wait for a while." ”
After he finished speaking, he summoned Shazhou Beijia and Sima and others, and asked them to quickly prepare horses and camels, and by the way, prepare some forage, water and food.
Li Hao saw that Li Zhongxiao made a righteous move, and did not drag the mud and water at all, he was extremely moved, and waved at Li Zhongxiao's long body, and said: "Master Li, the poetry maniac is beyond retribution, please accept the poetry maniac." ”
Li Zhongxiao hurriedly stopped him and said: "Why do you need to be like this, you and I are both border state pastors, guarding the bitter cold land, you have difficulties, I naturally want to help, it's just ...... Are you too risky to bring only such a small number of people? ”
Li Hao said: "Don't hide it from Lord Li, in fact, Your Majesty ordered Right Xiaowei Zhonglang to lead Peng Hailing 500 Right Xiaowei to escort me to Tingzhou to take up my post, but the 500 Right Xiaowei was drugged by the horse thief, and he is still in the Longmen Inn at the moment, and he has not yet woken up." ”
"Oh, that's it." Li Zhongxiao frowned again and again when he heard this.
Li Hao said again: "Lord Li, I am anxious to pursue the horse thief, I have no time to be idle for the time being, after I leave, please also ask the Lord to prepare another five hundred fast horses and five hundred camels, go to the Longmen Inn to meet the right guard, let them go to the aid of me, I will leave a mark along the way." ”
Li Zhongxiao frowned when he heard this: "Five hundred fast horses and five hundred camels are not a small number, I may need a day or two to prepare." ”
Li Hao waved his hand and said: "It's okay, one or two days will be one or two days, as long as the adults do their best." ”
Li Zhongxiao nodded: "I will definitely do my best." ”
"Thank you!" Li Hao took a deep look, and then said, "I will let Zhaowu Captain Li Yuanzhong stay here, and let him take you to the Longmen Inn to pick you up as soon as the five hundred horses and camels are ready." ”
"Okay."
Li Hao took out a glass teacup from his arms, handed it to Li Zhongxiao with both hands, and said: "My goods were all robbed by horse thieves, and only this glass teacup can be held with me, so I have the right to repay Lord Li for his kindness." ”
Li Zhongxiao saw the glass for the first time, and when he saw that this tea cup was so exquisite, he hurriedly excused himself: "How can this make such a precious thing, how dare I ...... it?"
Li Hao stuffed the glass teacup into his hand and said, "This is not a rare thing in Chang'an, and it is made in my family's workshop, it is not valuable, please refuse." ”
Li Zhongxiao had no choice but to thank him.
After about a stick of incense, Shazhou Bei drove back to the city gate with a group of people leading horses and camels, and came to report: "Your Excellency, forty camels and horses have been prepared, and they have been equipped with ten days' worth of food, grass and water. ”
Li Hao hurriedly thanked them again, then handed over all the camels he rode to them, took over forty camels and horses, and then left like the wind and continued to the west.
The group rushed in the dark, which was very dangerous in the desert, but Li Hao had to do it, the sooner he caught up with the horse thieves, the safer those women were, he was already mentally prepared, even if those women were ruined by the horse thieves, he also had to marry them home, after all, he was a modern man, and he didn't pay much attention to women's chastity, besides, this time the women were in crisis, it was his responsibility, so he had to bear all the consequences, which was the most basic responsibility of a man as a person.
After walking all the way for nearly two hours, it was almost midnight, and Li Hao suddenly saw from the telescope that there seemed to be fires and livestock in the west, and then he saw human figures.
"Found it!" After speaking, he led everyone to turn around and rush towards the direction of the firelight.
It is said that the blue wolf gang horse thieves led by Yuan Jinliang returned this time with a full load, and in the evening they temporarily camped on the desert to rest, in order to celebrate today's big harvest, they specially slaughtered two camels, and held a bonfire party.
Drinking, eating meat, and playing with women are the three essential entertainment methods for horse thieves, but there are no women at the moment, those six women are all rounded by Luo Sanhei, the younger brothers dare not rob it, Yuan Jin Lianghe and Ruo Billy are even more embarrassed to compete with these three brothers, and this big victory over Luo Sanhei is the highest, so they naturally let Luo Sanhei have a hand.
Luo Sanhei first followed everyone to drink wine and eat meat in front of the bonfire, and the scene ended late at night, and then drunk and wanted to go back to rest, just walked to the door of his tent, he suddenly remembered the few beautiful beauties caught during the day, and suddenly the sperm worm got into his head, turned around and came to the tent where the female prisoner was held, and the two horse thieves guarding the door hurriedly saluted him, Luo Sanhei waved his hand impatiently, and then walked in with the curtain.
In the tent, the six beauties were all tied back to back, forming a big circle, and they had not yet woken up.
Luo Sanhei circled around the six beauties and laughed: "Which one to play first?" Orchid? Or is it this delicate little beauty in the Central Plains? Well, this tall guy is not bad, wow, Silver Fox, she is the first bounty hunter in the desert, Silver Fox, Silver Fox! After he finished speaking, he squatted down in front of the silver fox, and reached out to untie the black tights of the silver fox.
As soon as his hand touched his clothes, he was startled by the sudden sound of a gong "clanging ......" outside the tent. He hurriedly got up and rushed out, only to hear someone shouting: "There is an enemy attacking!" There is an enemy attacking......"
The entire horse thief camp was suddenly in chaos.
