Belgutai is right in front of us, and the Mongols are like wolves and tigers, relying on Zhao Xuan to hold up the scene and confront them. Zhao Xuan had already made up his mind when he walked into the crowd. At this time, he could only hold on with one breath, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his expression would not change at all.
But at this moment, he really couldn't bear it. Not only was he unable to bear it, but he was panting heavily and looking around the entire market in a panic.
They were clearly there just now, but in the blink of an eye, Lu Shu and A Duo were really gone!
Guo Liulang of Changzhou, who once drank wine and ate meat with Zhao Xuan, is now the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. He and the queen had been separated for many years, and apart from the prince Guo Jing, the only relative left was Lu Shu.
Because the matter was so important, Lu Shu had to come this time, but many military towns south of Jinshan Mountain were tight on the outside and tight on the inside. They secretly mobilized elites to make full preparations for the response. And it was I, Zhao, who urged Lu Shu to hide in the caravan and make his way unnoticed under the eyes of the Mongols!
As a result, Lu Shu disappeared right under my nose?
Nothing will happen, right? If something happens, it will have more to do with it than losing a battle! How many brains do I have that can be worth such a huge oversight?
Zhao Xuan felt that he had dug a bottomless pit for himself, and then he jumped into it head-first. For a time, countless thoughts raced through his mind, his eyesight turned black, the sweat on his forehead flowed like a waterfall, and his feet were weakening.
Naturally, this situation cannot be hidden from Belgutai.
Belgutai was immediately overjoyed.
In his opinion, Zhao Xuan, as a border guard, came to Gouluo in person, and it was obvious that he was leading a team to do business.
And Belgutai came here with the idea of looting money and making a fortune. Just now he watched Zhao Xuan burn down a warehouse lightly, and he was very worried that he would get nothing from this trip. His mood fluctuated a bit, so much so that the blood vessels in his temples bulged.
However, I suddenly realized that Zhao Xuan was nothing more than that?
This guy is indeed rich and ruthless, but like ordinary people, he doesn't want to part with those possessions! He was just as distressed when he set fire to the warehouse!
Thinking of this, Belgutai felt relaxed.
He is the most powerful person among Genghis Khan's relatives. He once broke the waist of Boli, the leader of the Qi clan, his master, in a public fight. Because he prides himself on his strength all the time, he often eats fat, sweet and rich foods in his daily diet, and eats a lot of meat and oil. Since he has not fought in the past two years, he has consumed less. As a result, his whole body is fatter than before.
After a person suddenly becomes obese, it is easy to feel dizzy.
After my mood suddenly relaxed, for some reason my dizziness became worse and worse.
Belgutai didn't care at first, but continued to think in his mind:
It turns out that everyone is greedy for money?
What was originally a one-time windfall, actually has a chance to become a steady stream of benefits?
This is a good thing, we need to talk about it!
Yes, we really need to talk. Because the long flowing water is naturally good, but since the Great Khan is asking about the situation on the grassland, it proves that the Western Expeditionary Army will turn back at any time. At that time, any business dealings will cease, and I, Belgutai, may become the left-wing Qianhu Nayan who is at the bottom of the Golden Family... Therefore, we must expand the current more before the Khan comes back, and we must fight for it. Time to cultivate my power!
Compared to Zhao Xuan's uncontrollable expression of worry, Belgutai's face almost glowed. He suddenly felt that his intimidating posture on the horse was not suitable for facing business partners, so he quickly dismounted.
This action of standing up and dismounting made the waves of dizziness in his head ten times stronger than before. He didn't stand still on his feet and staggered two steps. Fortunately, Han Tu suddenly rushed up and held him steady.
Belgutai felt like the world was spinning. He tried his best to stand still, but he couldn't. Instead, he felt nausea in his chest and abdomen and wanted to vomit. He grabbed his son's arms with both palms and used enough strength to forcefully remove the bruises from Han Tuhu's arms.
This doesn't work, I have to slow down!
He knew that if he delayed any longer, he would make a fool of himself on the spot, so he used the last bit of energy and whispered to Han Tuhu: "Hold me and retreat outside the reservoir area. Let people keep an eye on them until I have a rest." , talk to them again!”
Han Tu suddenly saw that Belgutai's face was suddenly blood red and then pale. He knew that his father must be suffering from dizziness. At that moment, he did not care to say harsh words to the men anymore. He just pursed his lips as a whistle and led the cavalry. Roll out of the outer room.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalrymen retreated far away. Many cavalrymen eagerly responded to Na Yan's instructions and jumped directly over the outer wall of the reservoir area, which was nearly a person high. The originally dangerous situation with swords and necks suddenly eased.
Many people in the caravan couldn't believe their eyes. They thought the Mongols were planning to retreat far away and kill everyone with arrows, so they continued to hide under vehicles or fences without daring to move at all. After a long time, someone came forward and asked: "Have the Mongols given in?"
A group of Mongolians who came so fiercely retreated with great thunder and rain? What kind of good luck is this!
Several merchants knelt down in front of Zhao Xuan with a bang: "General Zhao is so mighty! General Zhao scared off the Mongols with his fire!"
This sentence reminded everyone present. At this time, the Mongols were still watching from outside, and Zhao Xuan was the only backbone, so hundreds of people bowed down one after another, and everyone said: "General Zhao is really a god! What to do next, we all listen to General Zhao!" "
There was a flood of flattery from everyone, but Zhao Xuan was stunned and didn't speak.
He originally planned to burn down three or four warehouses and keep putting pressure on Belgutai, but Belgutai suddenly showed weakness, which was unexpected. He could only confirm that Belgutai came here for profit needs, rather than simply murder and robbery.
This is a good thing. No matter how proficient the Mongols are in using the routine of killing people to establish power, as long as they ask for something, they will fall into Han'er's rhythm sooner or later. In this regard, not only Zhao Xuan, but every merchant present is professional.
But Zhao Xuan couldn't care less about the joy, because his mind was full of anxiety, trying his best to guess Lu Shu's whereabouts.
After a while, a merchant had the courage to tug at the hem of Zhao Xuan's robe: "General Zhao, what should we do next?"
Zhao Xuan suddenly jumped up.
"What are you doing? Find someone quickly!"
Someone subconsciously asked: "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Although the Mongols have retreated, the situation is still dangerous. Can't we find a way to deal with the Mongols first?"
Someone else murmured: "It's better to go put out the fire quickly... There may be some supplies in that warehouse that can be snatched out..."
"Hurry up and find someone!" Zhao Xuan said sternly: "Find out all our companions here who were killed and injured by the Mongolian attack just now, and how many have escaped. The injured must be treated, the dead must be buried, and the escapees must be comforted... No one should be missing!”
Those who dare to go deep into the grassland probably have the energy to not take human life seriously. When a companion dies on the trade route, he or she is usually thrown directly into a deep ravine in the mountains. Being willing to come forward to arrange cremation is already a great show of kindness. At this moment, everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard Zhao Xuan's words. After a while, someone raised their thumbs and praised: "General Zhao, you are so benevolent and righteous!"
"Stop talking nonsense and find me quickly!"
Zhao Xuan shouted again: "I have my own way to deal with the Mongols. Let's get all our people back first!"
Everyone dispersed in a hurry and quickly searched for each other.
Zhao Xuan looked around and felt that no one was paying attention to her, so she quickly ran towards where Lu Shu and A Duo were originally.
Those two people are indeed not here!
There is nothing behind the fence, nor beside the vehicle, but in the deep grass nearby...
Zhao Xuan felt that the blood on his body was almost frozen. Hoping for the worst, he pushed aside the grass and looked down, only to see Lu Wusi squatting there with a frown on his face.
"What did you find?" Zhao Xuan asked angrily.
Lu Wusi stretched out his hand and touched the ground, then held a few broken grass stems to see what the fracture looked like.
"Someone came from the salt marsh behind. They knocked Ado unconscious first, and then put him and..." Lu Wusi heard the sound of someone moving and talking outside the grass, so he stood up and looked into the distance: " ...were all taken in that direction, both of them were dragged away.”
