The Sword Dynasty

176 Horse Thief

In the 800-mile Pingchuan of Guanzhong and Lueyang County, there are large fields of farmland, and occasionally there are low-lying mounds, and the cottages are dotted in between. It looks like beautiful scrolls everywhere.

The Xie family's convoy went forward in a hurry, and gradually slowed down thirty miles from the county.

"What does it mean?"

Seeing Xie's train team getting slower and slower, Fu Su frowned and thought.

At this time, there were some dry fields and uncultivated wasteland on both sides of the road, and there were no villages. There was only a small horse farm not far away, and only a dozen horses were eating on the wild grass slopes. Green grass sprouts.

No matter how you look at it, there are no people around that can deal with Xie's family.

"It just slowed down completely, but it didn't stop completely. This shows that this place is where they want to do things, but the other party hasn't arrived yet." Ding Ning turned his head to look at Fu Su and said slowly.

The ancestor of the Zhou family narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he were always dozing off, but the thoughts in his heart were extremely active.

Suddenly, his ears moved slightly, and he had heard something.

"It's a horse thief."

It was only after a few moments of interest, Ding Ning took a deep breath, looked at Fusu and said.

"Horse thief?"

Fu Su was stunned, somewhat puzzled, but he immediately felt a slight tremor from the carriage wheel to the bottom of the carriage, and he immediately reacted completely, frowning deeply.

In the 800-mile Pingchuan of Guanzhong in the Great Qin Dynasty, there is no such kind of poor mountain and evil water that it is difficult to chase after thousands of horses and horses. However, the mountain king without the roaring mountains does not mean that there is no big robber.

This flat horse gave birth to a horse thief on horseback.

Horse thieves generally prepare three or four horses. They never stay in one place. The places where camping camps are different every day. For the Daqin dynasty, this kind of production is not a matter of production. Only the broken horse thief is a real locust, and it hates it deeply.The Daqin dynasty had a guerrilla ride dedicated to chasing horse thieves in Guanzhong. However, the elite cavalry was extremely difficult to train. This type of horse thief was very easy to form. They often exterminated one, but two came out, killing them.

In the dry land in the distance, a long muddy dragon smoke suddenly rolled up, but for a moment, a group of horse thieves appeared in the sight of Ding Ning and Fu Su.

There are more than 100 people in this group of horse thieves. Each of them carries at least four horses. Except for the one riding and an empty spare horse beside them, the rest of the horses are all carrying packages. On the cloth wrapped with weights, even the horses had dried blood stains.

All the horse thieves have different clothes, and the yellow towels of all colors are masked. Even though the figure is completely different from Daqin's cavalry sitting, it has a cold, murderous atmosphere that constantly emanates from the body.

Ding Ning's eyes became even colder. In terms of quantity, these horse thieves are nothing. Powerful horse thieves often surpass thousands of horses and prepare thousands of horses. They have the ability to compete against small-scale troopers and practitioners. However, just by the height of the dust rising under the feet of the horses of these horse thieves, he can judge that the load on the horses is unusual.

It is normal for a caravan to carry more cargo, but for a horse thief, the weight of the caravan is a matter of life and death.

The Xie family just came with several carriages carrying people, and each carriage obviously had passengers on it, and it was impossible to carry the weight of all these horse thieves.

For Ding Ning, it means dangerous.

"The load of these horse thieves seems to be heavy." Fu Su also turned his head and looked at him solemnly and said softly: "And it doesn't look very big, it may be some charms or weapons. ."

Fusu is the most important prince of Emperor Yuanwu and Empress. Since childhood, he was taught by the Master. Being able to make such a judgment did not surprise Ding Ning.

He nodded, "These horse thieves don't seem to come to trade, but to fight."

...

"Even the coachmen of these three carriages are not ordinary people." In the Xie family's carriage, Xie Lian should not pay too much attention to the team of horse thieves who brought the dust dragon, but focused more on following. Three black carriages in the rear.

Looking at the quiet appearance of the three carriages, Xie Lianying's fat and oily face showed a relaxed smile: "Even the driver of the car has a calm spirit, this Changling's noble status must be extremely high."

"Let's go out."

At the next moment, the smile on his face disappeared, and a rare coldness slowly emerged, "Don't waste the time of the noble Changling."

When the horse thief team approached hundreds of feet from the Xie family team, they stopped suddenly and lined up silently.Under the reins of these horse thieves, both the horses underneath and the load-bearing horses almost stopped, the dust under the horseshoe was still burning fiercely, but the hoof feet and the riders above were silent. Like a forest, it gives people a sense of pressure.

A gray-haired horse thief controlled the horse under him slowly pacing out. Looking at Xie Lianying and Xie Rou who came out of the car curtain, a flash of light quickly flashed in his pale eyes, and then his eyes It landed on the three black carriages of the Zhou family in the distance, and frowned slightly unnoticeably.

"Where are our people and goods?"

Looking at the horse thief who came out of the crowd, Xie Lianying, who also walked to the front of the team, smiled slightly and said first.

The gray-haired horse thief glanced at him calmly, keeping silent, without any extra expression.

The dust dragon brought behind them slowly spread out, and the figures of dozens of horse thieves parked in the distance slowly appeared in the sight of everyone.

The horse thieves formed a small circle, and there were more than ten riders in the circle that were obviously different from their clothes.

"Your goods are there, those of you know."

The grey-haired horse thief leader didn't speak quietly until now, saying: "Your people have seen it, and you should let us see what we want."

Xie Lianying nodded, his expression did not change, but his tone suddenly became sarcastic, "I really admire your courage, even our people dare to rob... I really think we are thanking the family, what is Guan Zhong Can everyone move?"

The gray-haired horse thief's brow furrowed deeply.

He heard many unusual meanings from Xie Lianying's remarks, but he didn't say anything, but his left hand was separated from the rein and he had to lift it.

"Don't think of someone who kills me at will threatens me."

Xie Lianying's eyes narrowed at this moment and mocked, "I've seen what I brought to you."

With the export of his sentence, the coachmen of two of the carriages in the Xie family convoy opened the curtain of the carriage at the same time.

The grey-haired horse thief leader's body suddenly stiffened.

The carriages of the two carriages had only one passenger each.

One is an old woman with white hair, and the other is only a child of five or six years old.

Xie Lianying looked at the horse thief leader who was suddenly stiff, and said with a deep sarcasm: "How, am I showing you enough weight?"

"My people, you will kill anyway from now on."

In the next breath, this extremely tacky merchant changed his face and sneered. "But as long as you kill one, I will let you Chen's family be no old, no small."

Ding Ning and Fu Su have been trying to listen to the dialogue between Xie Lianying and the leader of the horse thief. Fortunately, their voices are not small, so they can hear clearly.

At this time, although they couldn't see what was really in the two carriages of Xie's family, but through Xie Lianying's words, both of them quickly awakened.

"These are not real horse thieves, or they have other identities."

Fu Su turned his head to look at Ding Ning and said softly: "They robbed Xie's people and goods, but did not expect Xie's family to find out their details and rob them."

The leader of the horse thief took a deep breath and remained silent for a while.

At this time Xie Lianying had already continued.

Xie Lian looked at the leader of the horse thief with sympathetic eyes, shook his head, and said, "Although my Xie family is not as good as those really expensive homes in Changling, my Xie family has also been based in Guanzhong for more than 50 years. What I haven’t seen the wind and rain. Do you children think that this way can replace our Xie family’s position?"

"It doesn't matter if we want to deal with our Xie family."

Xie Lianying's tone suddenly turned sharp, and a layer of frost began to grow on his radiant face. "But you should know what our Xie family escorted. You are also Qin people, and you can even do this kind of thing. ?"

Hearing Xie Lianying's words, the leader of the horse thief shook his head slowly, and his deep yellow eyes revealed a deep sense of helplessness and emotion.

Then, he directly removed the yellow towel covering his face.

Under the yellow towel is a slightly pale face.

"You are not filial, so you are always shocked."

The thin-faced gray-haired man bowed deeply and saluted the old lady in Xie's carriage, and then his face returned to calm. He looked at Xie Lianying and said simply, "Substitution."

Xie Lian should smile coldly, knowing that these people will only become real horse thieves from now on, so he nodded and said, "Deal."

The leader of the horse thief took a deep breath, and his left hand was separated from the horse rein again, and he would lift it up.

But at this moment, an indifferent voice rang behind him, "I want to give it a try."
