"You have been walking on the grassland all year round, will you encounter a lot of dangers?" Thinking of the bloody cruelty of the Turks, Tang Jian turned to look at the man next to him and asked with a sigh.
"Haha, we are better off, no one dares to rob our Xiao family caravan now!" The man heard this and grinned.
Walking on the grassland all year round gave his face a special dark red color burned by the sun. When he smiled, his two rows of teeth were extremely white, very similar to those wild wolves that roamed deep in the grassland.
"Oh? Why? Have these Turks changed their temper? Are they still afraid of the people of the grassland because of Xiao Hou?" Tang Jian looked at him with a smile and asked.
Doesn't he believe that those Turkic bandits who can even kill their own people will exercise restraint against a caravan that is obviously extremely rich? !
Since the man in front of him said so, and he was Xiao Han's person, Tang Jian wanted to hear why they could be alone on this grassland.
"Bah, you expect those things to change their gender? That's not a dream to get a wife, it's a beautiful idea!" The man looked at the tribe in the distance and took a sip, his dark and red face filled with deep contempt!
After spitting, he paused and continued: "As for the title of Marquis, it is really useful in our Tang Dynasty! But among the Turks, many of them can't even tell what their own khan is called. How is it possible? Are you trying to sell off my Marquis’s face? The reason why our Xiao family’s caravan can travel freely on the grassland is because of..."
At this point, the man suddenly lowered his voice, turned back mysteriously and pointed at the dozens of caravan personnel following him, as well as the big flag with the character "Xiao" stuck on the cart, and said to Tang Jian: "Damn it. It's them!"
"them?"
Tang Jian looked in the direction the man pointed, with a slight shock on his face.
He could understand the big flag that symbolized status, but the dozens of caravan members were all tall, short, fat and thin. No matter how you looked at them, they didn't look like ruthless people who could fight one against a hundred!
You know, the bandits on the grassland are not full-time.
Most of them are just ordinary tribesmen who accidentally saw fat meat passing by and became greedy! They will leave their cattle and sheep behind, join forces with each other, and roar towards them!
There are usually hundreds of bandits like this, and some medium-sized tribes can even dispatch a thousand people!
As for large tribes with tens of thousands of mercenaries, they basically won't do this kind of thing anymore.
First, because such a large tribe has no shortage of caravans! The second reason is that these caravans originally came to them and stopped to trade in their tribe.
If a robbery prevents people from coming back, it will inevitably be like killing the goose that lays the eggs, and the gain outweighs the loss.
But even if a large tribe does not participate in the robbery, can the dozens of monkey men in the caravan repel the hundreds of bandits roaring in?
"Are the people in your caravan very skilled in martial arts?" Tang Jian looked at the caravan members standing or sitting on the grassland in astonishment. He held his hands in front of him and prepared to ask for advice humbly.
"Martial arts?"
Unexpectedly, the man frowned when he heard this, looked at Tang Jian strangely and said, "Why did Mr. Tang say this? They are just ordinary caravan guys. They can only do a few crops, but they have nothing to do with martial arts!" "
"Then what you just said depends on them?" Tang Jian stared at the man, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, thinking, are you kidding me?
"Oh?" When the man saw Tang Jian's appearance, he suddenly understood and grinned: "Hahahahaha! Mr. Tang, you are wrong. If you fight against the robbers, how many people will die? When we meet the robbers, we will Rely on them to do something!”
"What's the matter?" Tang Jian asked eagerly. He was really curious about what these dozens of people could do to resist the ferocious Turks.
Seeing Tang Jian's eager look, the man didn't show off. He smiled, opened his mouth and uttered one word: "Run!"
"What? Run?" When Tang Jian heard the word, he thought he heard it wrong at first. When he was sure that there was nothing wrong with his ears, he opened his eyes wide and looked straight at the man, as if he wanted to touch his face. I can see one flower on it.
"That's right, just run!" The man turned a blind eye to Tang Jian's astonished eyes, stretched out a carrot-like finger and scratched in the air, and said proudly: "When we first came to the grassland, the Marquis told us: When it comes to bandits on the grassland, no matter what's in the car, don't feel bad, just drop the things and run away! Saving your life is more important than anything else!"
"Putting people more important than things is indeed Xiao Hou's style." Tang Jian nodded. Xiao Han could indeed do this, but he still didn't understand: could the Turks just run away? Steal their things? Isn't this nonsense?
"If you just run away, you can do it once or twice, but if you run too many times, won't you become a money-giving boy? With your stingy character, will you not be able to do this business?" He looked at the man in confusion, Tang Jian continued to ask.
The man also knew that Tang Jian had a close relationship with his Marquis, so he was not angry when he heard that his Marquis was stingy. He still said with a smile: "Tang Gong Mingjian, we are a caravan, so naturally we can't do money-losing business! So! I ran away, but I wonder if you have heard of it, Mr. Tang? As long as the tribe robs our caravan, a strange disaster will surely happen in less than three days!"
"A strange disaster is coming?" Suddenly hearing these four words, Tang Jian's heart suddenly trembled for some reason, as if he thought of something.
"Yes, it's a strange disaster!" The man didn't notice anything strange about Tang Jian, but he still nodded heavily, with a look of relief on his face: "Either it was thunder from the sky, or fire from the earth! Anyway, as long as we rob our Xiao family business I have never heard of anyone from the team's tribe having a good end. It ranges from losing all their property to the death of both humans and animals!
I remember the most terrible time. A medium-sized tribe with three to four thousand people was turned into ruins overnight! Those Turks who ran out late at night cried when they saw others. It was their tribe that had offended the gods on the grassland, so the gods punished them with thunder!
As for how to anger the gods, they said it was because they robbed our caravan! So after several similar disasters, no one dared to rob our Xiao family's caravan anymore. Now some robbers rushed over and saw that it was us, so they ran faster than they came! "
"God, thunder?" After listening to what the man said, Tang Jian narrowed his eyes again, and there seemed to be light flowing in the gap.
"Then after you ran away, would you report to Xiao Hou that the caravan was robbed?" Tang Jian touched his chin and asked in a low voice.
The man smiled boldly: "Then you must report it! But instead of reporting to the Marquis, we have a dedicated person in charge of this, just tell him directly! After telling him, within a few days, those tribes will Bad luck!"
