Volume 1 Battle in the Sand Garden Chapter 11 Weishui Distress
In the vast Shayuanjian Pasture, three fast horses galloped eastward.
The three people on the horse are Qin Chong, Fat Hu and Wu Peng. In Shayuan Prison, it is not difficult to find horses, but the difficulty is that saddles are difficult to find. Historically, after the border troops select horses, they always provide their own saddles. Shayuan Prison
There is no rationing. Whether there is a saddle or not does not make much difference to Qin Chong and Fat Hu. Both of them grew up on the back of a pony.
Wu Peng didn't have this ability. He was just an infantryman. Riding a saddled horse was swaying, let alone a bare horse's back. At first, he had the courage to ride up, but when the horse raised its neck, he fell off again.
After struggling for a long time, he couldn't take a few steps. In a hurry, Qin Zhong tied Wu Peng to the horse.
This time, Wu Peng suffered a lot. As the horse ran up and down, Wu Peng was extremely uncomfortable.
After more than ten miles, they arrived in a blink of an eye on horseback. The river here was wide, the Wei River was as gentle as a mirror, and reeds as tall as a person grew on the shore, swaying in the wind and making rustling sounds from time to time. The area they arrived at was still two or three miles away from the ferry.
The ground is low, but from a high place, you can already see the ships going to and from both sides of the bank.
Qin Chong didn't stay long and turned around and walked quickly north. After walking a few hundred steps, he suddenly saw a very conspicuous mound with a feathered arrow drawn on it. This was the mark left by the big tiger. The arrow pointed to
The direction was exactly north. Qin Zhong dismounted his horse, untied the rope from Wu Peng, and began to walk forward.
"You brat, if you keep lingering like this, I'll crush this little girl to death."
Suddenly, a burst of yelling came from far away on the wind. Hearing the yelling, he was quite angry. Qin Zhong immediately stopped in his steps and looked sideways at Wu Peng. Does that mean, is this your person?
Unexpectedly, Wu Peng frowned and slowly shook his head.
"No?" This was beyond Qin Zhong's expectation.
"No." Wu Peng confirmed. His brothers were familiar with each other day and night, and they could not hear him wrong. The curse just now sounded very strange. However, the accent was from Weizhou.
Qin Chong became cautious. Is it possible that there is a third-party force also plotting the same plan?
"Where are your people?" Qin Zhong asked.
"They are all at the ferry." Wu Peng replied. He knew that Qin Zhong was suspicious. It was impossible for him to trust a prisoner wholeheartedly. It was already merciful to kill him without a single blow.
Using the cover of reeds, I slowly groped forward forty or fifty steps, and saw the two people confronting each other. The person facing me was a tall man, who looked quite miserable at this time, with disheveled hair, blood-stained face, and tattoos on his shoulders and legs.
He was holding four or five feather arrows, and when he moved a little, he immediately saw that he had injuries on his feet and was limping.
Xiao Nizi was grabbed by the neck by the big man and blocked in front of her. Her face was red from holding back the pain and she kept struggling.
"Fat Tiger, go around behind him." Qin Zhong's eyes were slightly cold, and his fists were clenched tightly. No matter who the person facing him was this time, Qin Zhong could not let him escape, and he would have to pay a heavy price.
.
"Yes." Fat Tiger agreed in a low voice, then ducked into the reeds.
After waiting for a while, he estimated that Fat Tiger was already in place. Qin Zhong stopped hiding and walked straight forward. When Big Tiger heard Qin Zhong's footsteps, he did not look back. He still held his hunting bow steadily, with the arrow on the string.
Qin Zhong glanced at the strong man opposite without blinking. Qin Zhong patted Dahu on the shoulder and walked straight towards the strong man without stopping.
These two shots were not blind shots. With the tacit understanding between the two of them, Dahu instantly understood Qin Zhong’s intention. He slowly moved backwards without leaving a trace, and it was not until Wu Peng appeared in front of him that he stopped retreating.
Dahu's ears have been trained for a long time, and he has long heard that there are three people behind him, two are familiar and one is unfamiliar. It is not difficult to understand Qin Zhong's intention, which is to let him carry this strange person behind him.
Dahu was slightly surprised when he saw it was Wu Peng. He never expected that Qin Zhong would bring this person over.
"Stop." the strong man shouted, "come one more step and I'll break her neck."
"Try it." Qin Chong said coldly, staring at the strong man without stopping at all.
"Stop." The strong man panicked, dragging the little girl and limping back.
There were only four or five steps left between the two of them. The strong man gritted his teeth, showed a fierce look in his eyes, and tightened his hands immediately. Qin Zhong increased his speed instantly, moving like thunder, and reached the strong man in one step, and punched out. The strong man
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhong was so fast. He raised his arms to block in a hurry. There was a "click" sound, and the strong man screamed, and his feet flew far away from the ground. Xiao Nizi was caught by Qin Zhong.
Holding it in my hand, I gasped for breath and was in shock.
The strong man had probably never encountered such divine power in his life. In an instant, he heard the sound of bones breaking, and his whole body seemed to be knocked away by a big mountain. He rolled four or five feet away before lying on the ground, opening his mouth and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The swelling in the chest was slightly relieved, but severe pain followed.
Qin Zhong walked over slowly and looked down at the strong man lying on the ground. Without saying a word, he directly raised his foot and stepped on the strong man's calf. Another scream accompanied by a "click" sound, the strong man
Qin Zhong stepped on his calf and broke it. No matter how strong the man was, he couldn't bear the pain of repeated broken bones and was rolling on the ground.
"Who do you belong to?" Qin Chong knelt down and asked.
The strong man was indeed tough enough. His face was twisted in pain, but his eyes were fierce and he stared at Qin Chong. He ignored Qin Zhong's questions. Seeing this, Qin Zhong stopped asking any more questions and sneered coldly.
Laughed.
"Since you won't cooperate, let's ask somewhere else."
At this time, Fat Tiger also walked out from behind, with a depressed look on his face. He had known for a long time that since Qin Zhong was back, 90% of the time there would be nothing to do without him. No, he just walked around behind
Son, everything is over here when we return to the head. He joined in and just followed him out for a ride.
"Fat Hu, tie this guy up." Qin Zhong saw Fat Hu's depression and said with a smile.
"Yeah." Fat Tiger replied in a muffled voice, and the rope that tied Wu Peng was now used on the strong man. Fat Tiger had anger in his heart, and he let it out on the strong man. Three times five divided by two, another one
The four horses fell on their hooves. At this moment, the strong man screamed heartbreakingly. He now had his hands and feet broken, and there were arrow wounds on his body. He was in constant pain.
"Let's go." Qin Zhong turned to look at Wu Peng and said.
"Let me go now?" Wu Peng couldn't believe it, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Let's go." Qin nodded.
"Thank you." Wu Peng stared at Qin Zhong, took a deep look, bowed and clasped his fists. After that, he turned and walked towards the ferry. The wind shook the reeds by the river, and Wu Peng's back suddenly became bleak. Look.
Going up, he didn't look like a wanderer who was anxious to return home, but like a knight who entered the enemy camp alone. Qin Chong looked at him and was in a trance for a moment.
"Let's go to the military camp." Qin Zhong reached out and took Xiao Nizi's little hand.
"Let him go just like that?" Dahu was a little worried.
"Yes." Qin Zhong nodded slightly, thinking more than Dahu. If this strong man is not the same as Liu Zihao, it means that there is another force that has already set its sights on Xiao Nizi. Perhaps, Qin Zhong
Their frame-up of Liu Zihao has been secretly watched by others, and they are just waiting to stop them halfway.
Since it is no longer a secret, what is the point of keeping Wu Peng?
Qin Zhong had a good impression of Wu Peng, but he couldn't do anything to kill someone and silence him. He couldn't kill him, so he had to let him go.
As for what Wu Peng said after returning, it no longer matters.
Fat Tiger rode a horse alone, Dahu led a strong man, Xiao Nizi and Qin Zhong rode on the same horse. The few of them did not rush the horses, talked and laughed, and walked back slowly. To be honest, Shayuan Supervisor
The scenery is extremely beautiful, with white clouds and green grass connecting the sky and the earth, and green poplars and yellow sand. It has both the majestic desolation of the desert and the gentle style of the Central Plains.
Du Fu, the poet sage, once left a poem: The sand garden is near the Qingwei River, and the springs are rich and clean.
Every place here contains their childhood memories.
Xiao Nizi was infected by the laughter and gradually regained her energy. During this period of time, Xiao Nizi was frightened and was kidnapped again and again. The helpless feeling of despair was like a sudden sudden
, fell into the bottomless abyss, the coldness and fear penetrated deeply into the soul.
It was Qin Zhong who saved her from the abyss time and time again. Oh, Xiao Nizi was startled. In just a few days, Qin Zhong had actually saved her three times. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but quietly turned her head, raised her face and peeked behind her.
Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong was tall, and his back was straight when he was riding a horse. Sitting in front of him, Xiao Nizi felt like she was being held in his arms.
As she watched, Xiao Nizi suddenly blushed. She lowered her head hurriedly and huddled up like a quail.
Several people were talking and laughing when suddenly Dahu was startled and immediately stopped and listened carefully.
"Is there a cavalry team?" Dahu said with a frown.
"Ha, Dahu." Fat Tiger sneered, "If Shayuan Prison doesn't have a horse team, what else is it called Shayuan Prison?"
"What's wrong?" Qin Zhong asked.
"The cavalry is coming from behind." As soon as Dahu said it, Qin Zhong and Pang Hu felt it. Of course there were cavalry in Shayuan Prison, but the number would not be so small, let alone from the direction behind.
"Hide first and wait for them to come and see who it is." Qin Zhong waved his hand and took the lead in running towards a hillock.
The hillock was not high, so after urging the horse for a while, he climbed up. Then he walked down the hillside for more than ten steps. Several people got off their horses and waited quietly for the cavalry to come over. Standing here, they walked from the east.
The approaching cavalry cannot see them, but they can stick their heads out for observation. As long as they are careful, they will not be discovered.
In just a moment, five horses came rushing forward. The knights were all dressed as ordinary people and looked unfamiliar. However, they were clearly war horses with their horses under their crotches, pedals, girdle, saddle and bridle. Besides, the knights were all fierce and skillful in handling horses.
.This is even more strange. Apart from the Xiaoqi Battalion, there cannot be any other cavalry in the Shayuan Prison.
Suddenly, the horses around him seemed to be attracted, and they neighed "Xilulu", immediately revealing their position.
The cavalry team noticed that there was someone behind the hillock. The leading knight suddenly pulled back the reins of his horse, made a diagonal circle, and turned back. The cavalry behind him moved in unison and drew an arc, keeping the formation stable. This way
Several people did not climb onto the mound, but slowly stopped in front of the mound.
Two of them quickly untied the baggage behind their backs, and inside were folded military crossbows. After a few skillful fiddles, the two military crossbows were loaded, and the dark iron arrows were stuck in the arrow slots, faintly pointing towards the soil.
This kind of military crossbow is only equipped by the border troops. It has a maximum range of fifty steps, but it is extremely penetrating and can break through iron armor in thirty steps.
"Is there anyone on the post? Please see me," the leader said loudly.
Qin Zhong was a little helpless. Seeing that he could not hide, he could only show up. His eyes swept over the five people, and he was secretly on guard. Now that he was closer, he could see more clearly, which once again proved his judgment. These people were all
They were cavalry, and they also carried weapons. Just looking at the crossbows pointed at them showed a strong sense of hostility.
"Who are you?" Qin Zhong asked.
"We are here to find someone." The leader of the cavalry team was in his forties and looked ferocious. When he saw Qin Zhong showing up, he was a little surprised. He originally thought he was a herdsman, but he turned out to be a brave young man.
"Who are you looking for?" Qin Zhong seemed to have no scheming and asked again.
"Is there anything big going on in Supervisor Shayuan recently?" the leader of the cavalry team asked without answering.
"What's the big deal?" Qin Zhong looked honest.
The two of them went around and around without saying a serious word. The leader lost his patience and suddenly became sullen. He stopped just to inquire about something and wanted to know more about the situation, but unexpectedly he met a stupid boy.
"Boy, have you ever seen a strong man?" The leader said, and described the person in detail. He included his age, height, characteristics, and the color of his clothes.
Qin Zhong's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't tell whether he was surprised or frightened. Wasn't the person described by the leader of the cavalry the same strong man who had just been captured? It turned out that they were in a group, and they had not returned for a long time, so they came here. This
The timing is really coincidental. If it had been a quarter and a half earlier, who might have captured whom.
Qin Chong pretended to think for a while and was about to speak. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sharp whistle from behind the mound, and the sound was urgent. This was conveying news or a signal for help. When he was a child, Qin Chong
His father told him that there are many whistles in the army, with different melodies and rhythms, and only his companions can understand them.
"It's broken." Qin Chong was anxious.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Qin Zhong heard two "boom boom" sounds, and in the lightning flash, he dodged and fell down. Two seven-inch crossbow arrows whined past his ears. Qin Zhong fell to the ground, his heart pounding.
Like beating a drum. Fortunately, fortunately, Qin Zhong felt very lucky. If he had been slower, I'm afraid there would have been holes in his head.
At this time, the cavalry had already rushed up to the hillock with shouts.
