Chapter 534: Red Turban Horse Bandits
"Guest, where are you going? There are many places outside the gates. ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the big silver on the table and said to Su Peng.
"Qiuzi Qiancheng."
Su Peng said to the shopkeeper.
"Qiuzi Qiancheng? It's not easy to walk there......"
The shopkeeper couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this, and said to Su Peng: "Guest, you may not know the road, Qiuci Qiancheng is still hundreds of miles away from our Yangyu Pass, not only has to pass through the Gobi Desert on this way, but also has a lot of horse bandits, even if it is a merchant who takes the Central Plains and the Western Regions trade route, most of them dare to march in groups, each caravan team is thousands, and there are countless masters to protect it, so they dare to pass through here, if the guest goes to Qiuci Qiancheng alone, I am afraid that they will not be able to find a guide." ”
When Su Peng heard this, he frowned slightly, he thought for a while, and said, "Qiuzi Qiancheng, where is it in Yangyu Pass?" How far exactly? ”
"Qiuzi Qiancheng, directly west of Yangyu Pass, has to walk more than two hundred miles, but in the desert, it is not good to sleep in the open, I advise the guests to wait until the caravan, and then go together, otherwise the road will be robbed by horse bandits, it will be too dangerous."
The shopkeeper persuaded Su Peng and said.
Su Peng listened, but he didn't do much of it, although the horse bandit was fierce, but Su Peng didn't give it for nothing, not to mention that only with the fast horse ridden by the horse bandit, there was no Su Peng's light skill and speed at all, even if it was really right, hundreds of horse bandits Su Peng didn't pay attention to it, at best, he sent it to Su Peng to practice swords.
But of course, there is no need to tell the owner of this shop, Su Peng nodded, and said, "Thank you boss for reminding me, the boss will accept this piece of silver." ”
"Huh! You and I are a person, and I can't use so much to inquire about a news, but I just look at the guests who seem to be worth a lot of money, and it's not peaceful here. Such wealth is exposed, and it is easy to invite trouble...... Oh, by the way, yesterday afternoon, there was a caravan left from Yangyu Pass, as if it was heading to Qiuzi Qiancheng, if the guests had to go, then quickly chase for a while, maybe they could catch up with the caravan, and go forward together. Probably a little safer. ”
Su Peng listened, nodded, and said, "Thank you boss." ”
The shopkeeper nodded, and at this time, the grilled naan and kebabs made by the guys outside were also sent in.
Su Peng took a look, and saw that the kebabs here were not comparable to the small skewers seen in later generations, and the large skewers here could be more than half a meter long, and there were large pieces of meat on them. There were whole onions and other fruits roasted between each big piece of meat, and the taste smelled very attractive, Su Peng hadn't eaten well for the past few days, and his index finger suddenly moved. The shopkeeper gave him a knife to sharpen the barbecue, and Su Peng began to eat.
For a meal, Su Peng didn't care about his demeanor, and he ate a lot of things. The appetite of the warrior is much stronger than that of normal people, and the digestion ability is also stronger, so Su Peng ate all three large skewers and one roasted naan. The mutton soup was also drunk in half a bowl, and it was full of satiety.
In the end, Su Peng didn't ask the boss to find money, but just asked the boss to collect the money, and when he came back from Qiuzi Qiancheng, he would come to his store for dinner, and then he rode the horse he had recently changed on, and he was ready to go out of the customs.
To the west of Yangyu Pass, out of the pass is the Gobi, the more you go inside, the more desolate it is, only a few oases, can be used for people to survive, and continue to rush to the west, even in the desert can see yourself in the desert, but you can see the wonders of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, many people appreciate the desolate beauty of the Western Regions, stay here and do not go back.
However, Su Peng had no intention of appreciating this, his mind was to rush to the Qiuzi Qiancheng Association and Ouyang Qing as soon as possible, and then find out whether the person trapped in the desert was from the Zixia Sect, and try to rescue him.
So he hurried his horse, no longer sparing his horsepower, and went all the way to the west.
In this way, Su Peng's fast horse galloped for many hours, and suddenly there was a long roar, and suddenly the horse lost its front hooves and fell down in the Gobi.
Su Peng is so martial arts, naturally he will not be injured, when he fell down on the horse, he had already jumped down and landed beside him.
The horse, which had been bought at the previous inn, was now trembling with muscles, foaming at the mouth, and falling to the ground and unable to stand up.
Su Peng saw it and couldn't help sighing, this horse is also pitiful, because he was anxious, he didn't spare his horsepower, and as a result, the horse quickly consumed his physical strength, and he had already died if he was not careful.
Su Peng looked at the horse, felt a little unbearable, walked up to the horse and folded his hands, and said: "Horse, horse, I can't stand you, but it's a pity that I won't overtake you in the scriptures, I just wish you to be reincarnated in the next life, don't be a horse for others." ”
After speaking, Su Peng sighed, but the horse on the ground, I don't know if Lu Dao understood Su Peng's words, the shaking of the horse's body became subtle, and he no longer foamed at the mouth, as if he was completely dead.
Su Peng shook his head helplessly, here and now, he couldn't allow him to bury the horse corpse, so he could only fold his hands and bow slightly, which was regarded as a thank you for the horse, and then shook his head, performed light skills, and continued to rush to the west.
In this way, Su Peng ran for nearly forty minutes, and he had already left Yangyu Pass for nearly two hundred miles, and at this time he had already come to the depths of the Gobi, and if he walked inside, he might be about to enter the desert area.
Suddenly, Su Peng, who was in a hurry with light skills, suddenly followed the night wind of the Gobi and asked a trace of blood.
And in his ears, he also faintly heard that there seemed to be a sound of fighting not very far away.
"What's going on up ahead?"
When Su Peng heard this, his heart moved.
He closed his eyes and focused his attention on his ears, the internal force strengthened Su Peng's hearing, and the subtle sound of fighting gradually became clear.
"Less than fifteen miles from here, there are two teams with a total of more than five hundred people clashing!"
Su Peng listened attentively for a while, and had already discerned a lot of information from the night wind, and judged in his heart.
He immediately began to analyze and judge based on the information he already knew.
"There are so many people, if it weren't for two different caravans fighting, it should be a conflict between the caravan and the bandits...... In terms of time and distance, the one who clashed ahead may be the caravan that the shopkeeper said left Yangyuguan yesterday, just because they had traveled so far for so long? ”
Su Peng thought in his heart.
Su Peng didn't want to get involved in this matter, but listening to the voice, the place where the battle took place should be the direction in which he was heading......
Although he didn't want to be involved in this senseless conflict, Su Peng didn't plan to take a detour, no matter what the situation was, he was not qualified to let Su Peng avoid it like this.
"Then I'll take a look, maybe I'll find a guide or something."
Su Peng thought in his heart.
Since this was decided, Su Peng continued to exert light skills and rushed to the place of conflict in front.
Sure enough, the more he moved forward, the clearer the sounds of those battles could be heard, and Su Peng had clearly heard the whistling of the strong man on the horse.
Su Peng quickened his pace and soon came to the place where the incident occurred.
Not far ahead, I saw about three or four hundred horsemen riding horses, wearing red scarves on their heads, and at the same time masking their faces with red scarves, constantly shouting trumpets in their mouths, around a team of horses formed a circle for defense.
The caravan surrounded by horse bandits also numbered more than two hundred, but most of them did not seem to be full-time combatants, but only fifty or sixty guards, trapped in a small circle surrounded by carriages.
And in that circle, Su Peng looked fixedly, but he was a little surprised, only to see that in the middle of the besieged caravan, there was a veiled woman, holding a scimitar in her hand, who was directing the horse bandits who were guarding and defending outside.
The veiled woman, her figure looks extremely graceful, she is wearing a dress made of white gauze, she looks a bit like the Demon Dao Holy Maiden Cold Frost Moon, but this woman has dark golden hair, it looks as if black silk is mixed with gold thread, there is a strange beauty.
At this time, she stood in the midst of the besieged caravan carriage, but she did not mess up at all, standing in the middle of the caravan with a scimitar in her hand, constantly giving orders, and only guarding against horse bandits.
Under her command, although the horse bandits were more numerous, they probably did not break through the defenses for the time being for fear of too many casualties.
"This woman is not simple......"
When Su Peng saw it, he thought in his heart that it was his ability to be able to stay in danger under such a disadvantage.
The horse bandits couldn't attack the caravan for a long time, and it seemed that the leader was in a hurry, and I saw that among the horse bandits, there were three leaders, all dressed in red, covering their heads with red scarves, and one of them shouted loudly: "Brothers! I heard that Temur Wan'er, the daughter of the city lord of Qiuzi Qiancheng, is the first beauty in the Western Regions, and I have never seen her, and she is in the caravan at this time! Our brothers captured her, and the three leaders of us will never dominate alone, this beauty, we have three hundred and ninety-seven brothers who have stolen the red scarf, everyone can take their turn, we use her for a year or two, no matter who it is, we can try it! ”
"Wow! Ooh! Ooh! ”
After this man shouted now, the red scarf robbers around him made a strange scream, and soon the entire horse bandit community resounded with the same shout, as if these robbers had beaten chicken blood.
On the other hand, in the caravan, after listening to the shouts of the red scarf bandit, his momentum suddenly weakened, and he seemed to be psychologically weak.
When Su Peng heard this, he frowned.
Su Peng's own attitude towards women is still equal and respectful, although he has not socialized in ordinary times, but he basically maintains a certain degree of respect in the process, and never has to be strong, at this time, listening to the words of the red scarf robber, it feels very harsh.
The red turban robbers in the field began to intensify their attack on the caravan, and the red turban bandits, who had become imposing, were like a rainbow in a short period of time, and soon killed four or five guards of the caravan.
At this time, the leader of the horse bandits also seemed to observe Su Peng's existence.
I saw three horse bandits dressed in red among the horse bandits, led by one staring in the direction where Su Peng was, frowning and saying, "When did a Jianghu person come there?" ”
"Big brother, we are going to wipe out the caravan in Qiuzi Qiancheng this time, we can't leave a living mouth, that person has already seen us acting, why don't you just do him?"
Next to the leader of the horse bandits, another sub-leader dressed in all red said...... (To be continued......)
