After trekking dozens of miles of desert, Jiang Hao and they finally saw a piece of green, and several hills and mountains appeared in front of them, covered with green grass, which looked lush, and it was pleasing to the eye after seeing it, green and water, in the desert it heralded life.

Alack~

The horse bandits cheered and sped up into the oasis.

After walking for a few more miles, Jiang Hao finally saw a river, a tributary of the beautiful Tarim River, the river meandered, divided into countless streams, forming green islands, and those green islands grew wild grasses, sea buckthorn and poplar trees.

In this oasis there is a earthen castle, which is the bandit village of horse bandits.

When the bandits returned to the city, the castle was opened, and a man with a short beard stood on the top of the castle and shouted below: "Rottweiler, what did you rob this time?" ”

The leader of the caravan who robbed Jiang Hao waved his hand at the castle, and said loudly with a smile: "It's wine, the entire caravan is all wine, and there is a child of a family, this time it is estimated that a large ransom can be collected." ”

The short-bearded man immediately cheered, "We've been short of drinks for the past two days, and the big boss is still thinking about sending someone to a nearby country to buy a batch in the next two days." ”

"Haha, do we still need to buy wine in Tashi Fort, won't we get it back?" Rottweiler said with a smile.

The gate of the fortress opened, the horse bandits' horse team galloped in, Rottweiler pulled the reins, the horse's head raised and stood still, pointed at the camel team and Jiang Hao with a horse whip, and said: "All the drinks are moved down and put in the warehouse, the camels are sent to the back pasture, and these people are pressed into the dungeon and locked up, by the way, this..."

He specifically pointed at Jiang Hao, "This person should not be imprisoned with his buddies. ”

"Yes." Rottweiler's horse bandits answered.

After Rottweiler finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Brothers, I will go and report to the great chief, I think we will all have good wine to drink tonight." ”

"Woohoo~~Wow~~"

The bandits let out bursts of cheers.

The horse bandits pushed Jiang Hao and Pang Xiong and they came to the dungeon, the dungeon was made of stones, the wooden sticks with thick arms were fenced, and the passage was hung with oil lamps.

A horse bandit next to him pushed Jiang Hao hard, pushed Jiang Hao and staggered, and said viciously: "Hurry up, what do you see, you will also be imprisoned here like him, pray that someone will come to ransom you, otherwise you will be locked up for ten days and half a month, and you will be pulled to the market to sell." ”

Opening a cell door, Pang Xiong and the other guys were stuffed inside, they looked at Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao gave them a reassuring look.

"The head of Rottweiler confessed, this is to be imprisoned in another cell, this is a meat ticket, the son of the family, the family has money, he said that he can write a letter to the family to ransom him and put him in another cell." One of the bandits said to the man in charge of the dungeon.

"It's almost full, so there's still room for it." The horse bandit road in charge of the dungeon.

"Then I don't care, it's your business, the person has been delivered, you can arrange it as you like." The small leader of Rottweiler's subordinates pursed his lips and left directly with a few of his men.

The cell boss looked at Jiang Hao, took Jiang Hao's arm to the innermost cell, opened the chain with the key, and said to Jiang Hao in a vicious voice: "After entering, stay honest, don't do anything, otherwise Lao Tzu will whip you with a whip." ”

After speaking, he pushed Jiang Hao in the back, closed the cell door heavily, and locked it with an iron chain again.

By the light of the oil lamp, Jiang Hao found that there were other people in this cell, about five or six, but to Jiang Hao's surprise, they were all women.

depend on

What's going on.

Locking yourself up with a group of women, this is looking down on yourself, or you have to give yourself the rhythm of welfare, no wonder let yourself stay honest and don't mess around.

Phew, are you that kind of person?

These women were wrapped in headscarves around their faces, and Jiang Hao couldn't see their faces, they were huddled together, their eyes staring at Jiang Hao, revealing a look of horror.

Jiang Hao glanced at the group of women and said softly, "I'm sorry to disturb me." ”

After saying that, he sat down in another corner of the cell, thinking silently about things in his heart, and those women looked at Jiang Hao, not knowing why a man was locked in.

The eyes of one of the women looked at the woman in the middle of them, and the woman shook her head, and the woman immediately understood and nodded slightly.

Time passed in silence, and I don't know how long it was.

Suddenly, the door of the cell was opened again, and two horse bandits entered, one carrying a large barrel and the other a stack of naan.

"It's time to eat!" The horse bandits shouted, and the people in the cells immediately climbed to the wooden fence, looking at the horse bandits, but none of them dared to ask for it, thinking that someone must have been cleaned up before coming, so they became so well-behaved.

A wooden bowl of water and a piece of dried naan per person.

When it was Jiang Hao's turn to be in the cell, among the women, two of them stood up and took a few portions of water and naan, and Jiang Hao also went over with the flow to take over the things, thinking that this was tonight's dinner.

Qing Shui only had a very small bowl, and Naan only had a very small corner, and Jiang Hao did not have the slightest desire to eat.

Qing Shui and Naan were placed in front of him, Jiang Hao meditated cross-legged again, his actions made the women a little surprised, and it didn't take long for those women to finish the food, and it was obvious that these women were not full either.

At this moment, a woman suddenly stood up, bent down and walked up to Jiang Hao, and said in Guizi language: "Aren't you going to eat these?" ”

Jiang Hao looked at the woman, although he couldn't see her face, he could tell from her eyes and demeanor that this was a woman who was almost thirty or forty years old.

"How?"

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "We can hold on if the food is not enough, but one of us is sick, she has a high fever, I want to ask, if you don't drink the water, can you give it to us." ”

Jiang Hao glanced at the female crowd and nodded, "Take the dry food too, I won't eat it." ”

The woman bowed to Jiang Hao and thanked her, picked up the naan and returned to the women's crowd, several women fed the water to the woman in the middle, because it was in a dark corner, Jiang Hao didn't see it too clearly, but felt that the woman in the middle should not be very old.

It was only a minor episode, and after eating, the dungeon fell silent again, with only the occasional cough and deep wheezing.

Jiang Hao has been calculating the time in his heart, it should be eight o'clock in the evening, and those horse bandits may have been drinking the wine he added.

Jiang Hao's guess was right, the people of the Western Regions are good at drinking and love wine, and many people are addicted to alcohol, and the wine can be cut off for two days to make this group of horse bandits uncomfortable.

At this moment, the castle hall is very lively, the leader White Wolf gathered all the leaders to come and drink, there are roasted and oily mutton on the table, stewed fat chunks of beef, and the bowl is purple-red wine, they are eating meat and drinking in a big gulp, this is the life of horse bandits.

"Drink!"

"Brothers, one!"

The atmosphere in the hall was warm.

At this time, a leader said to the white wolf, the leader of the horse bandits, who was sitting on the main seat: "Chief, my brothers have not drunk for a few days, and this time Rottweiler has grabbed a lot of wine, so it is better to give some to his subordinates." ”

"Yes, there are a lot of people looking forward to it." Another small leader also said.

The white wolf glanced at the dozen or so leaders of his own, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Isn't it just some wine, divide it, and each person will divide 2 catties first." ”

The white wolf is about forty years old this year, his two eyes are very sharp, he is fierce and cunning, he has robbed countless caravans, I don't know how many lives have been buried in this desert, in this thousands of miles of desert, everyone knows the name of the white wolf, and he is one of the three major horse bandit leaders in the Western Regions.

"Brothers, a toast to the chief." Someone suggested.

"Honor the leader together!"

Half of the wine was drunk, and some people were already a little confused, and a leader said to the big boss White Wolf, "Chief, those women, it's a pity to be locked up in the dungeon, it's better to get them out and let us play, that day I saw a very beautiful little girl in the team, hehe, big boss, can you reward me." ”

The white wolf glanced at this subordinate, "Those women, they can't move now, and they are still of great use." ”

"What's the use?" The guy asked in a daze.

"These things are not for you to inquire about." The white wolf's eyes glanced sharply at this subordinate, and when the guy was looked at by this look, the alcohol on his body immediately decreased by three percent.

"Big boss, I won't ask, I've drunk too much, hehehehe." The guy smirked.

The white wolf snorted coldly and ignored him.
