After Hu Xiaotian and the others left the camp of Zan Buliu, they went to the market in Guixu to meet Liang Yinghao and others, they came over just now, while Liang Yinghao and Xiong Tianba stayed in the market to continue to inquire about the news, hoping to find out.
When he came to the meeting place, he saw Liang Yinghao greeted him happily, Hu Xiaotian glanced at him, Liang Yinghao understood, and did not say it in front of Tang Qingxuan, followed Hu Xiaotian to the side, and said in a low voice: "There are a few people from the Dangyi clan who are suspicious and have been secretly following us. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "There is such a thing" Liang Yinghao nodded and said, "I asked the brothers not to act rashly for the time being, and deliberately asked around the market, and found that the person was always following behind, obviously coming for us." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Where are those people now?"
Liang Yinghao said: "It's still nearby, a few people take turns to follow us, I let the bear children temporarily separate, and quietly follow them." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, Liang Yinghao is old-fashioned, he is very relieved, Xiong Tianba is also a rough and fine boy, and he is not confused in major matters.
Liang Yinghao did not take action for the time being, but let the bear child come to a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches, and this response is undoubtedly correct.
Hu Xiaotian thought for a while, so that he didn't have to spread the news to everyone for the time being, and they continued to wander around the market, openly buying horses with the Tang Clan's mark.
Since there are people following them, it proves that these people have paid attention to them, and it is a good way to deliberately create an impact and wait for the enemy to take the initiative to send them to the door without finding clues.
Hu Xiaotian made a generous move, and their practice of buying in the bazaar naturally attracted the attention of many people, and at the same time, Hu Xiaotian sent people to investigate the movements of Zan Buliu, and Na Zan Buliu led people out of the camp shortly after they left.
At dusk, the monthly market begins to disperse.
The people put away their tents and drove their chariots and horses, and most of the merchants who had come to buy were full of loads.
Hu Xiaotian bought a total of more than 60 war horses today, the sources of these war horses are different, it seems that those horse thieves also thought that someone would come to track down, so the horse herd was reduced to zero.
Sold separately to various tribes on the Ankang grassland, there are thousands of clues, there are many sources, and it is not easy to trace.
In Hu Xiaotian's opinion, the other party's behavior is not wise, as long as there are clues and traces to follow, there is a possibility of being discovered, the other party is not decisive, and the way to clear the hidden danger should not even leave the horses.
There is an abandoned ancient castle ten miles northwest of Guixu.
Hu Xiaotian had already asked people to investigate the shape in advance, and set it as the place to rest that night, firstly, the ancient castle could block the wind and sand, and secondly, the ancient castle was on higher ground, and it was convenient to observe the surrounding movements by occupying the advantage of the ancient castle.
When Liang Yinghao and Xiong Tianba set up a guard, Zong Tang noticed that something was wrong with the situation, and came to Hu Xiaotian's side and said, "Why is there an enemy coming?"
Hu Xiaotian told Liang Yinghao about their discovery to Zong Tang.
Zong Tang said: "As long as they dare to come, they will definitely come and not return." ” Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Maybe we were too worried."
They may not dare to show up directly.
Raising his head, he saw a delicate figure standing alone on the broken beacon tower in front of him.
But it was Tang Qingxuan.
Hu Xiaotian walked slowly towards the beacon tower, and before he walked to Tang Qingxuan's side, Tang Qingxuan had already heard the footsteps behind him, and sighed quietly and said, "I want to be alone." ” Hu Xiaotian came behind her, stretched out his arms and hugged her into his arms, Tang Qingxuan closed his eyes and couldn't help sobbing again.
These days, the tragic situation of her eldest brother's murder has always echoed in her heart, like a nightmare that cannot be erased.
Hu Xiaotian said softly: "With me here, don't be afraid of anything." ” Tang Qingxuan nodded and said softly, "I'm not afraid."
But whenever I think of my eldest brother dying so miserably, I feel very sad in my heart, and I usually count my eldest brother as the most affectionate. ” Hu Xiaotian sighed, stroked her hair, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely get this justice for my eldest brother" Under his persuasion, Tang Qingxuan returned to the camp, and Hu Xiaotian handed her over to Visa to take care of.
Walking out of the camp, Liang Yinghao greeted him, and reported in a low voice: "Lord Qiqi, I haven't found anything abnormal around. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "You can't take it lightly, since they are following, they won't give up easily." ” Liang Yinghao said: "The lord rests early, and my brothers and I take turns guarding tonight." ” At this time, a person on the beacon made a gesture, and it seemed that there was a situation.
Hu Xiaotian and Liang Yinghao came to the beacon tower together, raised their eyes, but saw a horse in the distance coming towards their location, judging from the appearance of that person, it should not be a passing merchant, he rode his horse and whipped, his hooves flying, and went straight to the ancient castle.
Liang Yinghao made a gesture, and the four warriors who were in charge of guarding outside the ancient castle greeted him at the same time.
It wasn't long before someone came in to give a report, but that person was a messenger sent by Zan Buliu.
Hu Xiaotian secretly wondered in his heart, as soon as they left on the front foot, they arrived without leaving the back foot, and he actually had such a clear grasp of their foothold, if this guy didn't follow them to believe it, could it be that the tracker found by Liang Yinghao before was the person who didn't stay Hu Xiaotian asked a few warriors to bring in the envoy who had not stayed behind, and the messenger came to Hu Xiaotian and bowed and said, "Master Hu, my lord has entrusted me to send you a letter, please see it for yourself." ” Hu Xiaotian took the letter and opened it to look at it, but saw a line written on it: "Tonight, the Dangyi clan gathered a thousand people with the intention of attacking Gongzi, please be more careful." ” After reading it, Hu Xiaotian put away the letter and said to the messenger: "Thank you to your master for helping me, just say that I have received his favor." ” The messenger clenched his fists and turned away.
Hu Xiaotian called Zong Tang, Liang Yinghao, and Xiong Tianba to a place where no one was and handed them the letter.
Xiong Tian said domineeringly: "It's just right, damn, I was holding back the fire in my belly, and I was trying to avenge Uncle Tang, whoever dares to come, I will definitely kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ” Zong Tang said: "What Zan Buliu said may not be credible, now we occupy a favorable terrain, we can attack, retreat can defend, if we leave this camp, if someone really wants to be unfavorable to us, we are afraid that there will be no danger to defend." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Zan Buliu shouldn't dare to lie to me, he may have gotten the news to sell me a favor."
He looked at Leung, apparently asking for his opinion.
Liang Yinghao said: "The Ankang grassland is flat, and I have also asked about the terrain around it, all of which are endless grasslands, even if someone really wants to be unfavorable to us, we have nowhere to hide." ” Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing: "Who said that we were going to escape from us and came here thousands of miles to find out the truth about the murder of Brother Tang and those brothers, if the Dangyi clan really dared to send people to besiege us, it would prove that they had something to do with this massacre, although we only came less than sixty people, but all of us are warriors with one as ten, and there is no problem in dealing with them."
Hu Xiaotian looked around at the abandoned castle and said: "Now that I leave, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to find out the truth." ” Zong Tang said: "Although what Gongzi said is very reasonable, but after all, the enemy is outnumbered, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to avoid casualties." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Brother Zong, don't worry, we have the star-chasing repeater designed by Mr.
Zhuge and you help adjust it, so it can come in handy now." ” Liang Yinghao said: "I'm afraid that their number is more than a thousand." ” Xiong Tian said domineeringly: "What's there to be afraid of, I can kill them single-handedly." ” Hu Xiaotian glared at this guy, this kid is really arrogant, if he can single-handedly take the head of the enemy general among the thousands of troops, he believes it, but it is impossible to say that he can kill the opponent's large army alone.
Xiong Tianba also knew that his cowhide was blowing too much, so he smiled and stopped talking.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Everyone takes turns on duty, waiting for the enemy to arrive, I want to see if these Dangyi people really have three heads and six arms." ” Everyone waited until midnight and did not see anyone to attack, not even a ghost shadow within a radius of three miles, and often the night attack would be chosen an hour after midnight, which is often the time when people are most likely to get tired and relax their vigilance.
Hu Xiaotian also personally participated in the guard, he was about to go to change guards with Zong Tang, but he heard the sound of a horn in the distance, raised his eyes, but saw a total of three teams in all directions coming in the direction of the castle, although his vision was strong, but he could not immediately calculate the specific number of the enemy in the middle of the night, judging from the scale of the formation, the number of the other party was by no means a thousand people as Zan Buliu said, it should be more than two thousand.
Moreover, the other party relied on his strength far beyond Hu Xiaotian's side, and he had no intention of hiding his whereabouts at all, so he sounded the horn from afar.
The sound of the horn woke up all Hu Xiaotian's side, because they all knew that there was likely to be a surprise attack by the enemy tonight, so everyone was lying in their clothes, as long as they heard the movement, they could assemble to meet the enemy in the shortest possible time.
Tang Qingxuan and Visa also came to Hu Xiaotian's side in full gear, and Xiong Tianba carried two sledgehammers and shouted excitedly: "Third uncle, send me to kill them." ” Hu Xiaotian just smiled, he nodded to Visa, Visa followed him to the beacon tower, took out the beard and played it, the desolate and cold beard sound was sent out with the night wind, everyone on Hu Xiaotian's side had already prepared in advance, and used special earplugs to plug their ears.
Previously, when Hu Xiaotian gave them earplugs, he did not tell them the real intention, only said that it was to prevent the wind and sand from pouring into the ear holes.
In fact, the real purpose is to prevent these people from being disturbed by the nonsense music played by Visa.
