Chapter 474 Do you want to sleep?
Chen Changan frowned. The Xixia people actually came here?
Lao Ma's face changed, and he stretched out his hand to tell everyone to get ready for battle. The other troops quickly returned to their units, as the battle was about to begin.
Liu Baizhong suddenly waved his hand and said, "No, Lao Ma, don't be nervous. It's just a group of Xixia people. I think they are people who are going to our Chu State to purchase. There are only more than a hundred men around them."
“But there were a lot of vehicles, dozens of them, and there was even an RV in the middle!”
Chen Changan frowned, and Lao Ma's eyes lit up: "Is that the caravan? There might be herbs inside?"
"That's exactly what I mean!" Liu Baizhong nodded.
"Master Chen..."
Old Ma looked at Chen Changan, and Chen Changan stretched out his hand and said, "Don't you think... there is something weird in this matter?"
"Weird?"
"Yes." Chen Changan said seriously, "We marched for more than half a month and arrived here seven days ago. It has been more than 20 days, and the war started. The caravan had already fled back to the depths of the desert."
"Then the question is, where did the caravan come from?"
Old Ma thought about it seriously and said, "This... is easy to understand, right? The Xixia people thought they would win, but the merchants didn't go back?"
Chen Changan nodded. This was indeed a reason.
Liu Baizhong said mysteriously: "Master Chen, those carriages look familiar to me. They seem to be... well, the ones we have inspected before."
Old Ma thought about it seriously and suddenly realized: "Oh? The horse-head fiddle convoy? Sir Chen, let's go and take a look? See if we can see old acquaintances?"
Old Ma laughed out loud. Although he had only seen it once, the horse-head fiddle left a deep impression on him.
Chen Changan didn't want to cause any more trouble, but Yue Shan needed medicinal herbs, so he had to go.
"Tell the young man to follow me."
The reckless young man was equivalent to Chen Changan's personal guard, so Chen Changan naturally took him with him wherever he went, and the group set off quickly.
They rode their horses to the route that the Xixia troops had to take and ambushed on both sides of the valley.
"Mount on a fine horse, facing the blazing sun,
The wind is howling and my heart is burning.
Look at the eagle, fighting against the sky,
The glory of the ancestors stirs my heart.
Take up the scimitar, hold the spear,
Protect your homeland with a will as strong as steel.
The battle flags are flying, the trumpets are blasting,
The blood is burning and never gives in.
Hey, hey, the song of the Tanguts,
Sing to the mountains and rivers, sing to the stars.
Passion is like fire, burning you and me,
Let us go to glory together and never perish. "
In the distance, the singing of Xixia people was heard, melodious and the melody seemed to carry the sandstorm of the desert and the rushing of the Yellow River.
It was majestic and heroic, swirling in the air and floating all the way to my ears.
As far as the eye can see, there is a caravan, sparsely populated and very long.
The camels loaded with goods walked at steady pace, swaying with each step. The bags on their backs were bulging, and there were also horse-drawn carriages.
In the middle of the team, there were several Xixia women. They were dressed in brightly colored clothes, and their skirts fluttered in the wind like blooming flowers.
At the end of the team was a group of warriors responsible for guarding. They stood tall with swords on their waists. The decorations on the hilts gleamed faintly in the sunlight.
Although he looked alert and kept an eye on the movements around him, when he saw the happy crowd in front of the caravan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and his tense nerves seemed to relax a little in this cheerful atmosphere.
"Master, shall we do it?"
Old Ma looked at the Xixia people approaching and spoke softly.
"Gah!!!"
Suddenly, an eagle cry was heard in the sky!
Chen Changan looked up and saw an eagle proudly circling in the jewel-blue sky!
It has a sturdy body, with a wingspan of more than two meters. Its head is small but alert, and its bright golden eyes are like two burning golden balls, overlooking the earth sharply!
The eagle's beak is sharp and curved, and is inherently aggressive.
Its claws were thick and powerful, with hook-like tips, stained with blood that had not yet dried, telling of the intense hunt it had just experienced.
At this moment, it drew a graceful arc in the air and let out a loud and clear cry.
It cuts through the sky and dives towards the target below at an extremely fast speed.
The momentum was like black lightning falling from the sky. When the caravan saw the eagle flying back, they immediately became nervous and prepared for battle!
In an instant, the situation became critical!
Chen Changan gritted his teeth, damn, this eagle is a spy!
"rush out!"
Chen Changan had no choice but to give the order.
The young man appeared quickly from both sides of the mountain like a ghost, holding a spear in his hand and pointing it at the Xixia people.
"Don't move!"
"Put your hands up!"
"Anyone who dares to move will die!"
The Xixia people looked at the reckless young man who suddenly rushed out and suddenly burst into laughter.
Firstly, the young man was holding a weapon whose name he didn't know, and secondly, they were too young and couldn't beat ten people by himself.
Also, I feel angry.
The weak Chu people actually appeared on their own land. This is an insult!
In the team, a big bearded Xixia man yelled at the top of his voice: "This is my Xixia territory. You Chu people are so bold that you dare to set foot here. Get out!"
Several Xixia soldiers nearby also started shouting and drew their swords.
The sound of metal clashing echoed through the valley, and a great battle was about to break out.
Seeing that the Xixia man was about to rush over, Feng Gang just smiled coldly.
"Snapped!!"
Flames gushed out of the spear, and bullets swirled towards the man!
The Xixia man just sneered, but the next second!
His body suddenly lost its supporting strength and he fell off the horse like a puppet with its strings cut!
The other Xixia people were so shocked by this sudden change that they stood there in a daze, their minds went blank, and they were unable to react for a moment!
what's the situation?
After a brief moment of dead silence, a few people who were nearby hurriedly dismounted to check.
He opened his mouth in horror, and then started screaming as if he was saying something unbelievable. Panic spread through the entire team like a plague!
"What kind of magic is this?"
"How come Lacuri is no longer okay after hearing just one voice?"
"Kill them and avenge Lacuri!"
The crowd was in an uproar, but all eyes were on the car in the middle.
"Ebugeniya (This is a musket)!"
It didn't take long before a pleasant voice came from the car where the eagle had landed: "Wuletuya, Derigqin, Naoribuqin!"
What she said was, everyone be quiet, we may have encountered spies from the State of Chu, just follow my instructions.
The woman's words seemed to have an irresistible magic, and the Xixia people immediately quieted down.
Chen Changan walked slowly towards him with Lao Ma on his left and Liu Baizhong on his right.
It was at this moment that the car door opened.
A graceful Xixia woman stood out, it was... the horse-head fiddle.
The howling wind blew her long, shiny black hair into unbridled flight like a waterfall. A few strands of hair playfully brushed across her absolutely beautiful yet somewhat wild face.
Her eyes were long and narrow, and it seemed as if there was a vast ocean hidden in them.
There was an unruly light flickering in the darkness. Under her high nose bridge, her lips were slightly raised, as if she was smiling but not smiling, as if nothing in the world was pleasing to her eyes.
She was wearing a tight dark red leather robe with mysterious and intricate patterns embroidered with gold thread, which was the symbol of the ancient totem of Western Xia. She had a wide black cowhide belt around her waist, which highlighted her slender yet strong waist.
Wearing a pair of black boots with sharp spurs on the boots, every step he took seemed to break the silence of the wilderness.
The most eye-catching thing is the goshawk standing quietly on her left.
The goshawk was huge, with full wings. Each feather looked like a carefully forged piece of metal, glowing coldly in the sunlight.
Its eyes were as sharp as a falcon, closely watching the movements around it.
Its slightly shaking wings and the low cries it makes from time to time add a majestic aura to the combination of this man and eagle.
"Horse-head fiddle? What a coincidence."
Old Ma suddenly laughed out loud and pointed at Chen Changan: "Our young master saw you once in the territory of Chu State and couldn't forget you. Now he finally sees you again. You two are really destined to meet!"
"How about it, do you want to sleep with my young master?"
