The camel bell is melodious, and it can be regarded as a rare smart sound in the desolate Gobi of Beihai. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The cold air on the Gobi was like a tide, and a caravan struggled to move forward in the cold wind, all wrapped in thick cotton jackets, revealing only a pair of tired eyes.
This is a caravan full of ore, and the horseman who drives the cart carefully watches the frozen soil on the Gobi, because the ore carried is too heavy, and if it falls into a ravine, it will be difficult to pull it up again with a weight of several thousand catties.
At this moment, on the last wagon of the caravan draped in thick cotton cloth.
"Big brother, what do you think the Northern Navy Camp will look like, I heard from my mother that my father has been there for five years, but I haven't even seen him. ā
In the carriage, a little boy about five years old held his cheeks and looked at the young man in front of him in a pure white and purple silk robe, his eyes revealed a little curiosity, a little expectation, and a little apprehension.
Seeing all the changes in the little boy's expression, Su Qiannian sighed in his heart, this is the fate of the soldiers on the border, they are destined to get together with their relatives less and leave more, and even once the demon master attacks, the horse leather shroud on the battlefield, and even the bones are gone, not even a handful of ashes can be left.
Stretching out his hand and rubbing the little boy's head, Su Qiannian said softly: "Don't worry, your father must want to see you." ā
"Really, big brother?"
The little boy's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "My mother said that my father is a big hero, and the uncles and aunts in the village also said that my father is amazing, and I really want to see my father." ā
"Really. ā
Su Qinian looked at the little boy's eyes and said seriously.
"Trail Chief. ā
At this time, a village woman who looked to be about twenty years old in the corner of the carriage and had a bit of charm apologized: "The child is stubborn, disturbing the small road chief Qingxiu." ā
"No, Madam is polite, thanks to the caravan of your village, otherwise I will be alone in Beihai, and I don't know how to follow the trail. ā
Su Qinian looked out of the carriage, all the physically and mentally exhausted men, all of them were born in the same village hundreds of miles away from the Beihai Sea, where there was an iron mine, and the villagers all relied on digging iron ore to make a living.
Because they understand that on the shores of the North Sea, there are their relatives who are fighting there and guarding their future.
5,400 years have passed since the long expedition.
How many people have lost their loved ones, shed dry tears, and how many people have been shrouded in horse leather and buried their bones in other places.
It's just for the iron hooves of the demon race, and you can't step into the territory of the human race.
Su Qinian frowned, and immediately after, a sharp whistling sound sounded in the caravan.
"Horse thief!
What the!
On the carriage, the village woman was startled, but quickly calmed down, because the child looked at her in a panic and bewildered.
"Nan'er, don't be afraid! ā
She took the little boy into her arms, hesitated for a moment, looked at Su Qinian, and said: "Xiaodao Chief, the village woman knows that you are a high-ranking disciple of Wudang, and your status is noble, but the horse thief is vicious, licking blood with a knife, and you are doing a lifeless job. ā
After a pause, the young mother said: "The cultivator is merciful, and the poor woman only asks the little Taoist to take Nan'er away...... I still hope that the little Taoist is pitiful and takes Nan'er away, even if he is a fire-burning Taoist boy on Wudang Mountain, he can have a full meal, if Nan'er and his father can come back......"
Before the young woman finished speaking, she saw Su Qinian waving her hand, her eyes suddenly darkened, and Su Qinian spoke: "No one can easily trample on the lives of others, and here, no one can do it." ā
"Trail Chief. ā
The village woman was stunned, and she heard a little meaning, this chance encounter of the Wudang Taoist, is to stay to meet the enemy, she was a little moved in her heart, but also gave birth to an anxious color, can crisscross the Beihai Gobi, are not ordinary horse thieves, not to build a foundation to open the sky, practice the true qi of the family can not live at all, in her opinion, although the small Taoist in front of him was born in Wudang, but too young, can have a little force, how can the enemy dozens of hundreds of people, master like a cloud of horse thieves.
At this time, Su Qinian had already stepped out of the carriage.
Seeing this, the village woman sighed, and also carried the little boy out of the carriage, hoping that the leader of the village guard would persuade the horse thief to return, otherwise she could not imagine how she would save the life of the child in her arms.
There are not many people in the caravan, but there are also a lot, there can be fifty or sixty people, all of them are sturdy men, especially the leader of the guards, who is dressed in a cyan military robe, and the real qi in his body is circulating, and he clearly has a third-rate small success, a hungry tiger jumping over the stream.
This is really a great master for an ordinary village, in addition, there are two men who are still in their prime, and they have also built a foundation to open the sky, but the cultivation is much worse, but the cultivation of two or three of the twelve canons, in Su Qiannian's opinion, I am afraid that it is also because of relying on mineral deposits to be able to support the need for martial arts, and he can see at a glance that these three people have signs of being boiled by a large number of medicinal materials and demon beast blood.
There was dust ahead, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder.
Ten breaths later, more than a hundred fierce horses stopped in front of the caravan more than ten zhang away, these fierce horses are nailed with barbed shoes under their feet, can be on the frozen ground like walking on the ground, Su Qinian's eyes flashed coldly, although he has never been to the frontier, but there is a book of "Beihai Chronicles" among the many classics that he is familiar with in his mind, such a farrier, although there is no official imprint on it, but it is a craft in the army, which is strictly forbidden to imitate by the people, and ordinary soldiers do not understand the craft at all.
If it is said that a master warmaker has fallen into the grass, on the Great Gobi of the Beihai Sea, Su Qinian does not believe it at all.
"It turned out to be Hu Da in charge! Disrespectful! Disrespectful!"
I saw the leader of the escort team clenching his fists and raising his voice: "There are 100 taels of silver here, buy wine and drink for the brothers, and I also hope that it will be convenient for Hu Da to be in charge. ā
As he spoke, a man beside him raised his hand and threw a package to the four horse thief leaders who were riding on the sweaty horse.
Burst!
I saw a flash of sword light, like a crescent moon in the sky, and the package that flew out cracked, and a hundred and ten taels of snow silver were scattered all over the ground.
The faces of everyone in the caravan suddenly changed, and the leader of the escort team was a middle-aged man, and said in a deep voice at this time: "Hu Da is in charge, we are sending ore to the military operation, with a small profit and a small profit, we think that we have walked this Beihai Gobi for many years, and we have not offended the heroes of Hu Da's family, so why should Hu Da be aggressive." ā
Ahead, on the back of a sweaty horse in the front of the horse thieves, a man who was not yet a young man, dressed in iron armor, holding a scimitar in his hand, with a slag beard, at this moment, a pair of eagle-like eyes were sharp, swept over the caravan's dozen or so camel carts transporting ore, and said coldly: "Hand over the lotus iron." ā
What the!
At this moment, the three leaders of the escort team changed color slightly, and the news of the lotus iron dug up in the village actually leaked out, how could this be possible, and it even reached the ears of the horse thieves on the Great Gobi in the North Sea.
Lotus iron, that is the main material for the royal family and the army to cast lotus pattern iron, is a natural traceless treasure material, and it is also a great fortune in the village recently, only to dig a piece of the size of the grinding plate, enough to cast six or seven traceless treasure soldiers, and even three pieces of lotus pattern iron armor, almost without hesitation, they decided to send it to the Northern Navy Battalion, because there is the place where these treasure iron are most needed, and sent people to contact in advance, and volunteered to only accept half of the snow silver.
"Hu Da is laughing, I'm afraid I have misheard the rumors, second brother, take another hundred taels of snow silver, and invite the brothers to eat and drink enough!" said the leader of the escort team.
Raising his hand to stop the movements of the second leader of the escort team, the eagle-like gaze of the big master Hu swept over the entire caravan, and sneered: "Is there any, you will know if you have searched it." ā
The three leaders of the escort team finally changed color, and the men of the escort team also clenched their fists, the people who came were not good, these horse thieves were sure, they had lotus iron here, it must have leaked out, if it was a person in the village, it might not be big, if it was a person in the army......
The face of the leader of the escort team became a little ugly, he suddenly raised his head, looked ahead, and raised his voice: "Yes, we do escort a lotus iron, but that is what the general of the Northern Navy camp wanted, and Hu Da is not afraid that the general will blame him and send troops to suppress the bandits!"
Sneered, it was the second master next to Hu Da's family, a short-faced and sturdy man, holding a bright red big man, and said coldly: "General Shi and I really don't dare to offend, but there are many horse thieves on the Great Gobi in Beihai, as long as we send you all on the road, who knows that we did it." ā
Hiss!
At this moment, most of the caravan couldn't help but gasp, these horse thieves are so vicious.
His gaze changed, but soon, taking a deep breath, the leader of the escort said in a deep voice: "If we are willing to hand over the lotus iron to the big boss." ā
"Chief!" "Chief!"
Many of the men of the escort exclaimed.
"Shut up!"
True Qi is running, the middle-aged leader shouted, his heart is heavy, if he is alone, he is naturally not afraid of death, but he can't bury everyone here, because these men behind him are not only the husbands of many women, but also the fathers of many children, and the sons of many old people!
They have to live! they have to live! not just for themselves, but for the whole village!
"It's a pity. At this time, the scimitar in the hand of the big master Hu waved lightly and said lightly, "All of you must go on the road today." ā
"Then you can die first. ā
Everyone's color changed, even the leader of the convoy, not only because there was no way out, but also because of the indifferent voice that suddenly sounded behind him.
