Xia Xun stepped into Miaoyi with an arrow step, and said in a low voice: "Ten are coming at me, I'll go back to the village to hide first."
There are reeds, but they only grow close to the lake, and although they are dense but not wide, they can be easily searched.
As for the tall poplar tree, it is ten feet high, but under the tree is a piece of yellow sand, and there is no way to hide people.
Not to mention in the desert, not only is there nowhere to hide, but the terrain is similar, it is easy to get lost, if according to Suleiman, people who are not familiar with it will get lost if they go in and walk around, they can get all the way here, not necessarily they can not go back to the depths of the desert.
As for the small village, in fact, the place that Xia Xun is most concerned about is the place where the merchants are stationed, the village is not necessarily easier to hide than here, and there are many Han people here, and it is too obvious when they arrive in the village.
But in view of the fact that Miao Yi was still hostile to him, Xia Xun took retreat as advance and proposed this idea.
Sure enough, when Miao Yi heard him say this, her heart softened, and she said, "No, you are even more eye-catching there."
Li Bei, quickly bring two sets of clothes and change them into them" "Yes" These guards have been seen a lot, and it is not strange to see them, and as soon as they heard the orders of the lady, the guard named Li Bei immediately hurried to a camp.
Xia Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to Layu: "Layu, go back to the village quickly, and tell everyone that if someone interrogates you, just say that strangers have never been in the village, otherwise, it will lead to death."
Ra Bird blinked a pair of big eyes, looked at him curiously, didn't understand what he was talking about, Xia Xun was so anxious that he stomped his feet, Miao Yi saw this, and hurriedly gave a few orders to the guide they hired, the guide ran over and said a few words to La Bird, La Bird opened his eyes in surprise, nodded vigorously, spread his legs and flew away.
"Your Excellency, we are past merchants, and the goods we sell and buy are many of the products produced by your country.
Hahaha, we are all businessmen, just doing business to make money, and we will not mix with others, we have absolutely no living people here, let alone take in living people. ” The leaders of several merchant groups were surrounded by a general dressed in Turkic fashion, and two groups of Timur soldiers armed with swords and fiercely guarded in front and behind.
The general strode as they trotted along, and as one of the merchants spoke, he secretly shoved a bundle into the general's hand, wrapped in cloth, and sank into it, either gold or silver.
Today, the leader of the merchant group was eating wine in the tent of a merchant surnamed Jing, discussing some small things to rest, and suddenly a group of cavalry galloped from a distance, and the guards in charge of the watch saw that the other party was numerous, and set up a salon in the desert, and could not help but be shocked by the momentum, and hurriedly broke into the tent to report.
Because this trade route is not in front of the village or behind the store, and it is not enough to maintain the living materials of so many people, so limited by the living environment here, the horse thief team of more than 1,000 people is very rare, in fact, there is no at all, so the horse thief team on this trade route is unlikely to be too big, so when he heard that there were at least 2,000 people, the leaders of the merchant group were stunned.
When the visitors arrived, they learned that it was Timur's army.
The desert is vast, and it is divided into three directions, but only Timur is the only one who actually garrisons here, so it is not unusual for his army to appear here.
The leaders of the merchant group suddenly relieved half of their hearts, as long as it was an army subordinate to the political force, it was better than a horse thief to talk about some rules.
"Who, stop" Seeing that he had walked to where the Ying family caravan was, the two guards pulled out half of their knives and greeted them.
Looking at their fierce stubble, it is obvious that they are afraid of the other party's strength, but they are just duty, but they have to come forward.
"Fuck off" The two Timurid cavalrymen disdainfully pushed the two eyeless cowards aside to make the way for their general.
The two guards staggered to the side, watching them pass by with great brazenness.
Ying Zhan's face was ruddy from drinking, and at this time, he also accompanied Xiao to follow in front of the cavalry general of the Timurid Empire, and when he saw the two guards who were pushed aside, Ying Zhan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
There were about 100 warriors in the courtyard he brought, of course he couldn't necessarily call the names of these people, but most of them were familiar, these two warriors swept their eyes suspiciously, and then glanced at the other guards of the Ying family who were standing aside, knowing that there must be something wrong, so they didn't dare to make a noise, and hurriedly caught up with two steps, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the sight of others for the two people.
In fact, he didn't have to block and no one recognized the appearance of Xia Xun and Liu Yujue, Yu Jian recognized Xia Xun, but when he deliberately leaked the news to Hu Shang Tuoba Mingde, the identity he said was only a relative of Ganliang a hundred household officials, if he could say and draw the appearance of the grandfather of the country, I am afraid it would be self-defeating, Tuoba Mingde not only did not believe his words, but also thought that he had been recognized by him, which was deliberately designed to frame his own people.
What's more, as long as there are no special marks on the face, what can be said by dictating a few words, as for painting, even if every student in modern times learns to draw when they go to school, how many people can draw with a pen, let alone in that era, and Yu Jian is only a rough writer.
As the chief steward of Tuoba Mingde's "favor", Yu Jianzheng followed Tuoba Mingde's side closely, although Xia Xun now has a big beard, if he is asked to take a closer look, he may be shocked, because he can still recognize it, but he also didn't pay attention to the two nursing homes of the Ying family, especially Xia Xun and Liu Yujue were the first to meet and prevent entering the Ying family's territory, which made people even more inattention, this is the effect of darkness under the light.
The general of the Timur Empire passed through the camp until he reached the end of this side, and then he suddenly stopped, glanced at the path in the reeds in front of him, and said coldly: "Is there a small village in front of this, send a team of people to search for me" Immediately a group of soldiers chased along the path where the birds had just run away, and they scattered and searched the reeds together, and for a while they found the reeds flying and the wild birds jumping wildly.
The general pressed his knife, turned around and glanced at several leaders of the merchant group, and said in a murderous voice: "You have traveled all the way, I really haven't seen any people fleeing, let alone taken in anyone, well, if there is a lie, once we search it out, all of you here will die."
"General, we have come all the way, we really haven't met strangers, these are all people on the caravan, and we will continue to set off early in the morning" Tuoba Mingde said with a smile, and pulled the general's sleeve again: "General, please take a step to speak" and pulled the general aside.
Tuoba Mingde was sure that there had never been any strangers in his team, but he never expected that just a moment ago, two strangers had become part of their joint business group.
He also used this business to completely win the trust of these Shazhou tycoons, and when the Ming army wanted to clear the wilderness and move all the soldiers and civilians of Shazhou back to Jiayu Pass, he followed them to withdraw to fill the wishful thinking of the internal response.
So, Mr.
Tuoba Mingde stood up decisively and avoided disasters for everyone.
Several leaders of the merchant group saw Tuoba Mingde pull the general aside, muttering something, they didn't know that Tuoba Mingde was identifying himself to the other party, telling the other party not to interfere with their actions, standing in their position, only to see Tuoba Mingde constantly bowing, laughing and talking, and the big sleeves also moved from time to time, climbing on the general's arm, as if he was trying to buy the other party.
The two men stood there and talked for a long time before they walked back together, and the general of the Timur cavalry said in a shameful manner: "Come on, disperse, and search their tents."
At this time, although his attitude was arrogant, it was significantly softened compared to his previous cold tone.
The leaders of the merchant group are all good at observing the face, how can they not know that Tuoba Mingde said that the general was moved, and they couldn't help but cast a grateful gaze at him, Tuoba Mingde just smiled modestly, without any smug appearance, this attitude won the unanimous favor of the leaders of the merchant group.
As a result, the Timur soldiers searched inside and outside the entire place where the merchant group was stationed, and they passed by Xia Xun from time to time, searching for Xia Xun bitterly.
In fact, along the way, this group of Timur cavalry has eliminated a team of horse thieves that they encountered, as well as a merchant group that came from Xierding and was smaller than the team in front of them Yes, they are armies, they don't kill innocents like horse thieves, and business travel is only good for them, but that's usual.
The person to be killed this time is too important, at the moment the whereabouts of this person are unknown, life and death are uncertain, maybe he has been buried in the desert, then it is naturally best, but since you are not sure, then kill everyone you see, this is foolproof.
When the general arrived at this oasis, he looked at the scale from a distance, and knew that the merchant group here was relatively strong, if he insisted on killing it, the merchants would resist desperately, and his own casualties would be not small.
"Ahh A woman's scream suddenly came from a tent, a soldier ran out after a woman, the general's eyes lit up when he saw the woman's posture, then Ying Zhan hurriedly stepped forward, two Timur soldiers choked and drew their swords, crossed forward, blocked him, Ying Zhan said anxiously: "General, that's the villain's wife, please let the general go."
The commander of the Timur cavalry stared at the bright and charming young woman in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and waved his hand reluctantly.
If it weren't for Tuoba Mingde's rank and official position being much higher than him, even if these people in front of him didn't kill, he wouldn't let go of such a coveted woman.

As soon as the soldier saw that the leader had spoken, he gave up the pursuit of Miao Yi, and Miao Yi hurriedly fled back to the tent.
When the camp had been turned into a mess, all the cages had been opened, and the Timurid soldiers had taken the opportunity to hide a great deal of possessions, a party of men who had searched the small village returned, and the simple villagers had lived here for generations, and they were like a family with each other.
The inhabitants of this small village have the same faith as this army of Timur's descendants, and the appearance of the people in the village is relatively obvious, with deep noses, which can not be impersonated by Han Chinese, so there is no need to slaughter the village, so the village is also lucky to escape.
The general greedily glared at the felt tent where Miao Yi was, and waved his hand stupidly: "Go and continue the search." : During the code word, I want to boil some water to make tea, I feel that when I hold the hand pot, my index finger is faintly painful, and it seems that the strength to lift the pot is gone, strange also, not so weak I can't help but wind it, presumably the code word hurts the tendons Guan Guan raised his index finger, tears rippled: "Ask for a ticket, ask for a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket" Advertisement: Starting Point Literature Network Military Novel Meat Mound Grave, Author Haoyue Mingjing, please enjoy.
