It is not unusual to have a caravan. The strange thing is that in this place, there is no village in front and no shop behind. When the caravan comes at this time, it will soon be blocked with heavy snow. Where will it go?
Walking north? Everyone knows that facing north means the vast desert, and this is not the way to go at all. Either facing west means going to the Western Regions, facing east means going back to the Central Plains, and facing south means going to Guzang. It’s normal.
What are you doing in North? What would a normal caravan do?
Duan Ping is a very realistic person. He doesn't think that many people will have nothing to do with, bringing so many people, horses and camels to go to the Gobi Desert for vacation when it is about to snow heavily and enter the middle of winter. Therefore, these people are definitely not normal caravans.
Since they are not caravans, and depending on their posture, they are not army or scouts, then there is only one possibility! They are horse thieves!
Duan Ping told Duan Ye this conclusion immediately, and at the same time, Chengsheng also believed it so. After analysis, everyone agreed with this view. Duan Ye naturally believed in the truth. The question is, what should I do?
Duan Ye glanced at everyone, and everyone said that it was no problem to have just a small group of horse thieves.
Duan Ye thought about it, not to mention the people around him, Duan Pingyansheng and others. Even those soldiers were Duan Ping's clan relatives, and they were all selected by those with high martial arts skills and absolute trust, and some were selected from Jiuquan Army.
The number of sharp soldiers selected carefully is similar to theirs, so Duan Ye is naturally not afraid of a battle.
"That's good, everyone! Those horse thieves look at their plans. If they don't make things difficult for us, it's fine. Don't worry about them for now. If you dare to attack us, we will destroy them, huh?" Duan Ye introduced it briefly.
The situation, then the test said.
The distance was not far away. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, everyone did not respond loudly, but nodded silently. Duan Ye saw the heat in their eyes.
The distance was closer, and the two strands of people could almost see each other's faces. Aksu's horse was walking in front. He smiled and walked to Duan Ye, bowed respectfully to show that he was not hostile, and Duan Ye
He nodded slightly as a tribute.
Aksu said in fluent Chinese with a flattering smile: "Hello, a friend from afar! I am Aksu, a businessman from the country of Sindu. I just went to Guzang to trade some of my goods, but I didn't expect that I could do it here.
When I meet you, in order to express my respect, I am willing to offer you a great domestic carpet made in Kangju.”
After saying that, Aksu waved his hand gently, and Kuduk came over with a bundle of carpet. Duan Ye signaled, Duan Ping took it carefully, and Duan Ye also smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Brother Aksu!
We are a businessman who has finished trading from Kucha. My surname is Duan, and I am preparing to go back to Chang'an. This is our return trip. To express our gratitude to you, please accept my gift."
At this time, Zhang Meng also came over with a good Shu brocade. Aksu happily took it down, stroked the smooth satin, and said with a tsk: "It's indeed the best Shu brocade! Compared to the girl's
The skin is still smooth, Brother Duan, you are so generous, it is my honor to be friends with you."
Duan Ye looked at Aksu's sincere smile, and it was difficult to associate him with the horse thief. However, the problem was that the other companions in Aksu remained silent, but although their hands were not pressed on the hilt, they were all sitting straight.
, his whole body was tight, and he was obviously ready to take action at any time.
And there are several knights, and the quiver behind them is full. Although the caravan is away and needs to protect themselves, since Duan Ye has preconceivedly decided that they are horse thieves, they now seem to be suspicious.
For example, there was a small black and red patch on the saddle, which was obviously bloody, and a businessman would not have such traces. Moreover, their team was not as compact as normal businessmen, but rather slightly
If they disperse, they must have the strength to prevent anyone from missing the net when they encircle and annihilate. Although the knights on the periphery looked at Duan Ye and others with a smile on their faces, they always looked outside as if they were unintentionally, just like looking at the wind.
As for the fact that they did not launch an attack from the beginning, it was probably because Duan Ye and others had a large number. If they launched an attack directly, the merchants' horses were generally good, and it was difficult to catch them all in one go. This would cause trouble. And Aksu and others were used to it.
He was very confident in him and his children after launching a surprise attack at close range.
Aksu and Duan Ye exchanged a few greetings. Aksu had made up his mind to solve this caravan! They were too rich! There were so many Shu brocades on their horses. Oh my God, those Shu brocades were enough to make their horse thieves.
Using this to recruit soldiers and become the most powerful one in the Gobi Desert, it is enough for each person to have three horses, two good knives, and they can also renovate their own copycats. And they even brought so many porcelains, and those nobles were the most
What I like comes from the mysterious oriental decorations. As for those pearls and agate, the young businessman opposite, although he pretended to be mature, he was still very tender. He took out all his old foundation in just a few words.
At the same time, Duan Ye also made up his mind to get rid of them! Duan Ye's sense of smell was very sharp. He had already felt that these people were no longer good at him. Aksu's eyes looked at him were a little too hot.
Duan Ye is sure that Aksu is not a gay man and doesn't like men. There is only one possibility, that is, he regards himself as a prey.
"Haha, brother Duan, Weixu Kingdom is a good place now. I go there every year. It is the most suitable place for caravans like us to rest on a long distance. And the men there also like your goods from the Central Plains the most. You
The next time I go back, I only need to bring some porcelain calligraphy and paintings, oh, and silk, and you will become the richest businessman in your hometown." Aksu said with a smile. In fact, he was just talking nonsense. He robbed all his life, and he had been to the country of Weixu
?But his men were not fully prepared yet. Kuduke made a vague gesture to him before he said this and dragged it for a moment.
"Oh." Duan Ye seemed very interested, "Thank you brothers Aksu for telling me such an important news, but I don't know how the taxes are collected in that rich and hospitality in Weixu Kingdom?"
Aksu was stunned. He just made it up casually. He didn't know where Wei Xu Country was. Where did he know how to collect taxes? Why did this person take it so seriously? However, when he saw Kuduk's hand gently on the right side of the saddle.
After touching it, Aksu knew that they were ready and felt relieved. So he smiled and said, "This is the tax on the dangerous country, but Brother Duan shouldn't ask me."
"Who should I ask?" Duan Ye smiled happily.
"Go and ask the King of Hell in Hell!" Aksu roared, and at the same time he drew his sword out of the sheath, and the sword light shone!
