Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left Black Wind City overnight and rushed to Devil City.
Along the way, the two who were going to go back quickly, but they had to slow down because they had to help catch the horse thief.
Zhan Zhao rode and paced, and beside him was Bai Yutang, who was also holding the reins of Bai Yunfan, who wanted to run faster.
Bai Yunfan and Zao Duoduo are obviously very confused, these two horses are extremely smart, good horses know the way, they have run this road before, and they know that they are going to the Devil's City, so there is no one on the road in the middle of the night, why don't you run faster Zhan Zhao gently patted Duoduo's neck, looked around, and said to Bai Yutang, "This can really lead out the horse thief."
Bai Yutang shook his head, "I think it's a little difficult. ” "That's right."
Zhan Zhao also felt that it was not very reliable, "The horse thieves should have robbed all the caravans, we didn't even bring out a carriage, just two people, it shouldn't be as idle as the horse thieves."
"But with He Yihang's old plan."
Bai Yutang felt that it was not that simple, "Even the centaurs have prepared for us, how can we not remember to prepare some bait for them" "In other words, there is no need for bait, just the two of us can lure those horse thieves out" Zhanzhao touched his chin and tilted his head to look at Bai Yutang, "Could it be that they ran out to rob the sex" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao speechlessly.
The two walked for a while, and tonight the wind was not strong, but it was also a little cold.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both wearing cloaks, and Zhan Zhao was rubbing Duoduo's horse neck, looking around, and said in his heart that those horse thieves should come quickly.
But there was no one outside the desert, and there was only the sound of horses' hooves of Duoduo and Bai Yunfan in the silence around them.
Bai Yunfan is not as good-tempered as Duoduo, and he is not happy or slow to make it a little anxious, and kicks the ground.
Bai Yutang was also a little troubled, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Otherwise, don't care, let's rush our way, those horse thieves love to come or not, if they don't come, they will change the day." ” Zhan Zhao felt that it was right, so the two shook the reins.
Duoduo and Bai Yunfan, who were finally able to run, immediately rushed out like a gust of wind, running faster than usual.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang will run like this, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Devil City in a while, and those horse thieves can't touch it, and they can't catch up if they do.
It's just that the two ran for a while, and suddenly there seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced back, and saw that the dust was billowing from the depths of the desert, and the messy sound of horses' hooves seemed to be a horse team rushing towards them.
Zhan Zhao raised an eyebrow at Bai Yutang.
The fifth master looked up into the distance and sure enough, he could already see the dusty place, and there seemed to be more than a dozen horses, galloping at a high speed, that posture "This is the legendary horse thief" Bai Yutang grabbed Bai Yunfan and asked it to slow down, while asking Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao also stopped Duoduo, touched his chin and looked back, "Maybe it's a horse thief, isn't it a thief on a horse, I haven't encountered it before." ” "A horse thief is a thief on horseback," Bai Yutang seemed thoughtful, "I always thought that bandits in the desert were called horse thieves." ” "A horse thief is a horse thief, and a bandit is a bandit," Zhan Zhao said, "A thief in the mountains is called a thief, and a thief in the water is called a water thief, so a thief on horseback is a horse thief." ” Bai Yutang thought for a while, "What is the difference between horse thieves and bandits, bandits also have horseback riding." ” "Uh" Zhanzhao crossed his arms and tilted his head.
"Bandits can also ride horses."
Bai Yutang added.
Zhanzhao touched his chin, "Is this this?"
Duoduo and Bai Yunfan had slowed down at this time, and the two horses had obviously realized that it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who deliberately slowed down, for fear that the horse thieves would not be able to catch up.
At the same time, the two men on horseback began to seriously discuss the term "horse thief".
Duoduo looked back at the two of them who didn't have a word of nonsense, tilted his head and looked at Bai Yunfan, that means Fanfan, what are they doing Bai Yunfan looked at Zao Duoduo helplessly, my family was dignified before, but it was all damaged by your teasing cat Duoduo glanced at Bai Yunfan for a while, and suddenly went up and bit Bai Yunfan's mane and was not allowed to say bad things Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were chatting, and suddenly they saw Duoduo biting Bai Yunfan's mane, which seemed to be a troublemaker.
"Hey" Zhanzhao hurriedly patted Duoduo's head and let it spit, "Duoduo, you are violent, your husband is so handsome, you still bite it" Bai Yutang looked at Bai Yunfan, who was honestly bitten and didn't reply, "It turns out that you are still afraid of your daughter-in-law." ” Bai Yunfan shook his mane, took a step towards Duoduo, and touched it.
Tilt it a lot.
Bai Yunfan shook his mane again, and he was not angry Duoduo flicked his tail and hummed this time sparing you.
Zhan Zhao rubbed Duoduo's head to smooth it, beside him, Bai Yutang looked at the team of horse thieves who were getting closer and closer in the distance, and was a little puzzled, "Why do these horse thieves still carry carriages?"
Zhan Zhao also looked, "Just grabbed it from elsewhere" It's just that as the horse team ran closer and closer, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that something was wrong, the group of "horse thieves" were dressed like ordinary merchants, and a large horse team also had carriages and luggage, and in addition to the horses, there were also a few camels, which were running wildly like they were running.
Duoduo and Bai Yunfan subconsciously moved to the side, making way for the group of rushing teams.
Bai Yutang looked carefully, and saw an old man at the head, waving his hand vigorously at them while galloping with the horse team.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang blinked, and when they listened to it, they heard the sound of rolling horses' hooves, accompanied by several roars, "Run, horse thieves are coming" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, glanced at Bai Yutang, gently pulled the reins of Duoduo and Bai Yunfan and moved a few steps to the side, tilted his head to see if there were a large number of horse thieves with knives behind the horse team This group looked like horse thieves, dressed not like good people, with a strong physique, riding horses and dragging big sabers, shouting and chasing.
Bai Yutang looked at the horse chopping knives and was a little helpless, "No wonder they say that Zhao Pu is like a horse thief." ” Zhan Zhao suddenly clapped his hands lightly, "Could it be that a horse thief actually refers to a thief with a horse chopping knife?"
Bai Yutang thought for a while, "This is possible, but what about the other few with axes?"
Zhan Zhao squinted, scratching his head why he was called a horse thief At this time, it was actually a team of businessmen who rushed towards them.
This is a group of Han family merchants, Hangzhou came, traveled to the Western Regions to sell silk and tea, made a lot of money, and bought a lot of Western Regions utensils back to Jiangnan to sell.
Originally, he was going to leave early tomorrow morning, but the grandson of the old man's family was about to be born, and the old man returned overnight with his men and horses.
In the past, few people dared to walk the night road in this area, but since the Zhao family army was in charge of Black Wind City, the merchants were not afraid.
All the merchants who came from the Black Wind City would send them a distress arrow when they left.
In case you encounter horse thieves along the way, especially at night, hurry up and send the contact signal to the sky, and the officers and soldiers of Blackwind City will go to rescue them.
Because of this, horse thieves and bandits near the city of Black Wind are almost extinct.
The old man relied on the fact that there were many strong young men in his team, and he carried a distress arrow in his arms, so he rushed here overnight.
Seeing that it was almost in the Black Wind City, who knew that a team of horse thieves would suddenly be killed.

They originally wanted to fire arrows for help, but who knew that there were a few vultures in the team of horse thieves on the opposite side, which were very powerful.
As soon as the old man threw the arrow into the sky, a giant eagle flew over, and the direction of the arrow changed with its wings, and it went straight to the ground.
So, the old man had no choice but to lead the team towards Black Wind City.
This was running, and I saw two young people on the side of the road in front of me, riding horses, and I didn't know whether to run out for a walk at night or what to do, slowly and leisurely, let them run quickly, and also rode horses to stand on the side of the road and chat, that leisurely.
"Daddy" The old man was running for his life, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him.
The old man turned around, only to see that it was the eldest son who reminded him, "Bow your head" The old man felt that something was bad in his face, and he jerked his head, and a huge vulture swept over his head.
The old man felt a pain in his head, and the vulture's claws grabbed his hat and flew into the air, and took away a handful of his hair.
At this time, many people in the team hung up their colors, and the giant eagle the size of three foals circled and swooped overhead, each of which grabbed a handful of flesh, and the horses and camels were all confused.
The horse thieves behind them chased closer and closer, and someone whistled and directed the three giant eagles to attack Shangjia.
Zhan Zhao looked up and saw clearly, "No wonder you can't catch these horse thieves, it turns out that they used eagles to explore the way and attack people." ” Bai Yutang patted Bai Yunfan's horse's head slightly, and Bai Yunfan turned around and walked to the side.
Zhanzhao hung Juque on Duoduo's saddle, patted it lightly, and asked him to go to a place with Bai Yunfan, and turned over and dismounted.
Bai Yutang also dismounted, and Duoduo and Bai Yunfan stood not far away, looking back at this side.
The merchant team that was running wildly was disturbed by the eagle attack and rushed forward.
The old man saw that the two young men had suddenly dismounted and were standing by the side of the road.
The old man was slightly stunned, and at this time, he saw "huh".
The old man thought that he was dazzled by the two young men just now, both wearing cloaks, one red and one white, and now there is only one man in white left The man in white bent down, reached out and picked up a red cloak on the ground, shook it slightly, patted it, raised his hand and threw it on the back of the red horse not far away.
The old man was stunned, his eyes looked straight at a silver knife nearly five feet long in the hand of the man in white, the blade of the knife glowed faintly in the moonlight, and the brilliance outlined a simple coiling dragon, circling around the blade, shuttling through the clouds and mist, the knife was thin and thin.
Don't look at the old man is a tea seller, but a big hobby in his life is to collect swords, the workmanship of this knife is slender like a seedling, it is the rent of the seedling knife, the dragon enters the clouds, about five feet long, the knife body is full of murderous aura, the silver is old but not dull, the knife body is slightly curved, the handle is the dragon's head, and there should be three words under the dragon's head The old man subconsciously stared at the knife in Bai Yutang's hand, looking for those three words "Daddy" The old man was watching intently when he heard his son shout behind him.
As soon as the old man came back to his senses, he felt the wind in the back of his head, and when he subconsciously turned around, he saw that the largest vulture had rushed straight towards him, and the sharp claws reached out to his face.
Secretly said "It's over", the old man felt that his death time had come, and he wanted to close his eyes and wait for death, but the old man also ran a lifetime of rivers and lakes, what wind and waves have not been seen, and he died under the claws of an animal Sheng was so frightened that he closed his eyes and did not become angry, staring at the vulture, and said that you come down Lao Tzu first bit off one of your claws, and died with you.
However, the moment the old man stared, he saw a red figure suddenly appear above the vulture.
The young man who was supposed to be wearing a red cloak on the side of the road suddenly appeared above the eagle, stepped on the eagle's back, grabbed the eagle's neck, and moved up.
The eagle screamed, turned, flapped its wings and rolled in the air, and as soon as the young man let go, the eagle rushed straight into the sky.
The old man raised his face, and saw that the young man was stepping on the eagle's back with both feet, as if he had been stained, and as the eagle rushed up to the clouds, he didn't forget to leave the next sentence before leaving, "The old man has courage." ” The old man will fly with his mouth wide open At the same time, Shang Jia's horse team was rushing past the man in white with a "bang".
The old man hurriedly turned back, and saw that after all his horse team had passed past the man in white, the man in white suddenly turned to one side and blocked the group of horse thieves who were about to run in front of him.
I saw the man in white slam the long knife to the ground with one hand, and at that moment, the handle of the knife turned, and the cold light shook over the blade along the opening opening, and the three words on the handle were clearly clouded knives "Ahh "Dad" The two sons ran up and looked at Bai Yutang, who was blocking the horse thief in front of them.
I saw that the group of horse thieves shouted and galloped wildly, and the first one who ran fastest on a horse was a shirtless man wearing a beast skin with shoulders and a terrifying appearance with sideburns and beard, he held a horse chopping knife more than one person high in his hand, and rushed towards Bai Yutang with a wave of it.
Many people behind the old man were so shocked that they almost screamed, but before they could shout, they saw a cold light, accompanied by the sound of a dragon's groan that resounded in the air, and Bai Yutang's silver knife came out of its sheath.
The old man took a deep breath excitedly, "Good knife" The two sons beside the old man were speechless, the corners of their mouths twitched, and the old man still had the heart to appreciate the knife at this time Look again, Bai Yutang held the knife in both hands, took a step forward with one foot, and swung it at the horse thief who had raised the knife in front of him, and everyone heard a sound of horse neighing, and then looked at Bai Yutang's side, the tall horse ran past him, carrying half of the corpse on his body, and roared away from the old man's side.
"Bang", the other half of the body of the horse thief fell down in response, and fell to the front of the horse thief team, "whirring" a few whirling winds, and then saw that the horse chopping knife was cut in two, the tail of the knife fell to the feet of Bai Yutang, and the head of the knife flew to the front of the horse thief behind him, straight into the ground, and did not enter more than half a foot.
The rest of the thieves were so frightened by the sudden turn of events that they took a few steps back.
The rest of the thieves also grabbed the reins.
Bai Yutang held the knife in one hand, and drew a huge arc with a wave of blood and water, which was sprinkled on the yellow sand, and under the moonlight, the knife in the clouds was not stained with blood, and it was still cold and shining.
Several horse thieves stared at the man in white in front of them, seemingly stunned, and at the same time, they heard several eagles neighing overhead.
Everyone subconsciously raised their faces, and after Zhan Zhao stepped on the eagle and jumped up, he suddenly stepped on the eagle's head, soared into the air, and the two vultures on the left and right rushed towards him.
I saw Zhan Zhao turn over in the air, his hands open, as if he was the same kind of eagle, he stayed in the air for a while, let go of the two eagles past him, and at the same time stretched out his hands to grab the wings of the two eagles, and with a wave of his hands, the two eagles met with a "bang" and collided together.
Pulling the two vultures that hit the meat and all the vegetables, Zhanzhao went down and stepped on the first vulture, the vulture seemed to want to run, Zhanzhao chased after it, stomped on its head and neck, and the eagle went straight to the ground.
Zhan Zhao handed the other two eagles to his left hand, took advantage of the situation, and grabbed the tail of the eagle at his feet with his right hand.
The horse team behind the old man had already fled for their lives at this time, and they all stood there stupidly watching, and with a gust of wind, Zhanzhao fell behind the group of horse thieves and shook his hands With a "bang", the three eagles were thrown down by the horse thieves' horses, raising countless feathers, and now they were really bald The horse thieves turned their heads one after another, dumbfounded.
At this time, Duoduo ran behind Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao didn't even turn his head, and "choked" a huge sheath with his backhand.
The light and slaughter brought out by the ancient sword of Ugin floated in the moonlight, and the horse thieves were blocked in the middle by Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, and under the shock of murderous aura, the horses spun in circles in place, making an anxious neighing sound.
The leader of the horse thief looked at the two of them, and knew that it was definitely not a good stubble, and the so-called often walking at night always met a ghost one day, and it was estimated that the Yama who met today was going to die.
The horse thieves all looked at the chief.
The leader turned the horse's head and decided that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss, it was one thing to win the fight at this time, this side was too close to the Black Wind City, and if there was any movement to attract Zhao Pu's soldiers and horses, it would be over.

It's just that before the group of horse thieves could evacuate, they heard Zhanzhao suddenly speak, "Ask you something." ” The horse thieves apparently understood Chinese as well.
The leader asked in a somewhat stiff Chinese dialect, "What do you want to ask?"
Zhan Zhao looked at him and asked seriously, "Why are you called horse thieves?"
The horse thieves were stunned.
The merchant team over there was also stunned.
Bai Yutang added, "What's the difference with bandits?"
The horse thieves looked complicated at this time, and they didn't understand what the two of them meant.
At this time, I heard the old man on Shang Jia's side suddenly say, "The name horse thief originated from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and a group of ordinary bandits were caught and pushed to the horse market to be beheaded.
Who knew that they broke free from the shackles, snatched the horse and rode away, so they were called horse thieves.
At first, it only referred to horse thieves, but later bandits who robbed quickly on horseback were called horse thieves or horse bandits, which were different from ordinary bandits, mainly because they were fast. ” "Oh," Zhanzhao said with a knowledgeable expression, "I see, it was a horse thief at the beginning, so it was called a horse thief." ” Bai Yutang also raised his eyebrows.
"That's right."
Zhan Zhao seemed to remember something, took out a small bamboo tube the size of a whistle from his sleeve, and flicked it in the air with two fingers.
With the sound of "boom" breaking the sky, the bamboo tube flew into the air and exploded, and then, I saw dust flying in the distance, and the hundred elite horsemen arranged by Ouyang for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed to attack.
As soon as the horse thieves saw Zhao Jiajun's banner, they shouted bad and wanted to run, but they had just turned their horses' heads when suddenly something flew in the air.
Several horse thieves subconsciously lowered their heads, and an arrow as long as a spear fell in front of them, firmly piercing into the ground, shaking with an aftersound, blocking their last way The arrow is a lark feather, and a blue lotus on the tail, which is extremely beautiful.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at it in a blink of an eye, and after seeing the hundred cavalry, Long Qiaoguang also came with people.
The right general, with his strong bow in his hand, rode Spotted, and paced unhurriedly in this direction.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, these horse thieves are already turtles in the urn, how could Long Qiaoguang still come in person In the blink of an eye, the elite horsemen had already arrived, surrounded the horse thieves, pointed their bows and arrows at them, and "dismounted" The horse thieves had no choice but to dismount, kneel in place with their heads in their hands, and were captured.
When Long Qiaoguang arrived, he talked to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hard, and he looked quite poor.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also had nothing to do with him.
Pulling the reins of the horse to the front of the horse thief, Long Qiaoguang glanced at it, and finally smiled, leaned on the spotted head with one hand, and gently touched his mustache with the other hand, and said to a young man kneeling among the horse thieves with his head bowed, "Lao He is really a last resort, you kid is really hiding here, those two little sand thieves are still a little useful." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked in the direction that Long Qiaoguang was looking at, and saw that among the horse thieves, one of them slowly raised his head.
The man was clearly a Han Chinese, and he looked out of place among a group of foreign horse thieves.
After staring at Long Qiaoguang for a moment, the young man sighed, "Why are you so ghostly, Lao Tzu said that he didn't want to wade into troubled waters."
"Then it's up to you."
Long Qiaoguang raised his eyebrows, "You are all in a league with the horse thieves, either you will atone for your crimes, or you will be pushed to kill your head." ” The corners of the man's mouth twitched for a moment, "You slander me" Long Qiaoguang hooked his fingers at the two soldiers, and the two soldiers dismounted and tied up the young man and brought him back to the team behind Long Qiaoguang.
The rest of the horse thieves were handed over to the elite horsemen and bound up, and escorted to the Black Wind City to be disposed of.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, it turned out that it was not just as simple as letting them catch horse thieves.
"Who is he," Zhanzhao asked Long Qiaoguang.
Long Qiaoguang thanked the two of them first, and explained, "This kid is nicknamed Dilong, and he has been arrested for a long time, and Lao He asked him to help with something, but every time he slipped away.
This kid is a thief, and as soon as he smells the officers and soldiers, he runs away without a trace, and this time he was caught thanks to the two of you. ” "Earth Dragon" is puzzled, isn't the Earth Dragon the kind of soft insect underground Long Qiaoguang smiled, "This kid is of great use, it's a pity to kill him like this, send it back to Lao He to save a lot of people." ” "Oh" Zhanzhao is still quite curious, but it depends on the situation and it is a long story, so let's ask He Yihang carefully when I go back.
Bai Yutang also got on the horse at this time, and the two of them saw that since they were done, they left Long Qiaoguang, turned around and continued to rush to Devil City.
When Lao He saw the messy businessman, he stepped forward, looked at the old man at the head, and found that it was an old acquaintance, "Oh, isn't this the old man, and he went to sell tea again." ” "Ah Right General" The old man came back to his senses, pointing to Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang in the distance, "Those two" "Oh, those two have sweethearts, and if you want to recruit a son-in-law, it's no fun."
Long Qiaoguang's usual words chattered, and he beckoned his subordinates to help the merchant team pack up their things and treat the wounded by the way.
"Wow, there are a lot of scratches, bring back those three hairless chickens."
Ouyang pointed to the three vultures on the ground and said to Lao Chang, "Go back and stew to shock you." ” The old man wanted to ask if the two just now were the legendary Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, but unfortunately Long Qiaoguang kept muttering, and the old man opened his mouth for a long time, and didn't say a word:
