After the sandstorm ended, the desert sky was clear. Except for the scorching sun, there were no clouds in the sky. A string of black spots appeared where the blue sky intersected with the golden desert.
The string of black spots got closer and closer, and when you could see clearly, you realized that it was actually a group of people and horses, densely packed with more than a hundred riders, all of them galloping on horseback, carrying scimitars at their waists, and speaking from time to time. Make a shouting sound.
From their dress to their temperament, and from the way they ride their horses wantonly, it can be seen that this is a large group of horse bandits.
The leader is a man in his forties, wearing a sheepskin jacket and a pair of cowhide boots. He has a strong body, with tawny hair hanging loose, and only two braids on the two temples.
He has a red face, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, beard, thick and rough eyebrows, exuding a masculine look, and his eyebrows are all tawny.
The whole person looks completely different from the Central Plains people, and he obviously has the blood of the Western Regions.
This person was Sha Hu, the first boss of the Yesha Gang. Before noon, someone told him that Li Ermazi, the second boss, was killed in an inn in an oasis in the desert. Only one of the twenty or so people who were traveling with him escaped.
This incident made him furious. Who among the Yesha Gang in this desert within a radius of more than a hundred miles would not be afraid of him? Let alone an inn, even the nearby horse bandits dare not step into the territory of the Yesha Gang.
In the ten years since he has been in charge of the Yesha Gang, no one has dared to touch his subordinates, let alone his own second-in-command.
Now he actually learned that someone had killed Li Ermazi and also killed so many of his brothers. How could he endure this?
This kind of thing happened in his own territory. If he didn't come forward to ask for an explanation, how would his Yesha Gang survive in this desert in the future?
So as soon as he got the news, he asked the escaped horse bandit to lead the way, and he led more than a hundred of his brothers towards the Oasis Inn.
Sha Hu would like to take a look, who is so bold and dares to cause such a huge disaster?
Killing his second boss was like a slap in the face. If he didn't chop off his head and burn the inn, he would probably be looked down upon by his brothers in the future.
The road was full of murderous intent and coming at a high speed.
Sha Hu was actually wondering in his heart, he had been in this desert for many years, and how majestic he was at that time when he and his elder brother Land Rover conquered this world.
Although his eldest brother was disheartened by the death of his sister-in-law ten years ago and chose the golden basin to wash his hands and withdraw from the world, but he has led the Yesha Gang to become famous in the desert in the past ten years, and has never heard of anyone in his territory. There are such masters.
You must know that although Li Ermazi is not a good character, his skills are not bad, and he can perform very well with a broad-backed sword. It is extremely difficult for an average person of ten or eight to get close to him.
Although he could not be said to be a top-notch master in the Western Region, he was still considered outstanding. Now he died inexplicably at the hands of others. Even the twenty or so people he brought with him were almost all killed.
The gangster who escaped said that only one person was responsible for the attack, which made Sha Hu even more curious. He had never heard of the owner of an inn in his territory having such martial arts.
Moreover, the other party's attacks were quite clean and brutal, which made Sha Hu wonder if other horse bandit gangs were secretly sent to his territory to cause trouble?
If this was really the case, he would not be able to let the other side go. The other side's martial arts were so good. He wanted to have a good fight to see who dared to challenge him in this desert?
The people and horses galloped all the way. In the afternoon, the horse bandit who led the way pointed to an oasis and a lonely two-story adobe house in the distance and said to Sha Hu: "Master, we are here!
"This is where the second master was killed in the inn in front of us. Twenty of our brothers also ended up here.
"I don't know if that guy is still here, but even if he escapes, he shouldn't be able to escape far. He also has a child with him."
Upon hearing this, Sha Hu waved his big hand and said in a deep voice: "Surround this place for me first. I want to go and meet this person for a while to see where this master comes from? How can he kill him with his own strength?" Get rid of Li Ermazi and the more than twenty brothers accompanying him!"
At Sha Hu's order, the horse bandits all galloped towards the inn in the oasis and surrounded it. In just a moment, they completely surrounded the two-story adobe house in the inn.
Sha Hu and several of his men rode their horses to the door of the inn and jumped off their horses.
The horse bandits under his command stepped forward and kicked the two wooden doors that were already half-hanging on the door frames completely away. The two door panels fell to the ground inside the inn.
The horse bandits rushed into the inn with machetes and stood on the left and right sides, while Shahu walked into the inn calmly and with square steps.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a person sitting at the table opposite, eating mutton and drinking wine from the bowl. He completely turned a blind eye to the arrival of their group, which made Sha Hu who was already angry even more. A little angry.
Over the years, he has already become well-known here. Whenever anyone sees him, they are trembling with fear.
But he didn't expect that the person in front of him turned a blind eye to him and didn't take him seriously at all. This kind of ignorance was tantamount to a humiliation for him.
So he walked forward quickly, put his feet up on a stool, and looked at the man across the table who was chewing a leg of lamb with his head down.
He said in a low and fierce voice: "You are the one who killed my brother? Look up and let me see who you are."
"You actually dare to kill people from our Yesha Gang. Don't you know who our Yesha Gang is when you open a shop here? Don't you know who I, Shahu, am?"
The man opposite him threw the half-eaten leg of lamb back into the basin, slowly raised his head and asked him: "It's only been ten years and you still don't recognize me? Even if you don't recognize me, don't you recognize me?" I should also recognize these two knives on the table, right?
"In the past ten years, you have really gained a reputation in this desert, and your behavior has been much more ruthless than what I did back then. I guess the number of people who have died under your sword has long been far greater than what I did back then." ?
"You are no longer the second-in-command Sha Hu of the Shuanghu Gang. Now you are really more like the leader of the horse bandits."
Lu Lu raised his head and said these words, which made Sha Hu standing opposite him suddenly stunned and shocked. He couldn't help but take two steps back.
Sha Hu stared at the Land Rover opposite him with a pair of hawk-like eyes. It took him a long time to react. He took a step forward and fell to his knees with a "plop", and knocked on the Land Rover with a "boom boom boom" Three rings.
Several of his subordinates who entered the room with him looked confused at this time, thinking to themselves that just now the boss was so fierce and wanted to kill the other party, why did he suddenly kneel down to him now?
Not only did he kneel down, but he also kowtowed to others. The kowtow was so loud that you could probably hear it standing outside the door. What on earth was going on?
"Brother! It's been ten years. It's been ten years! We two brothers haven't seen each other for ten years. I didn't expect to meet again here today. Do you know how much my brother has missed you in these ten years?
“Since my eldest brother left the Shuanghu Gang ten years ago and asked my brother not to look for you and his son, my brother has always kept his words in mind and has never taken the initiative to look for him.
"But I didn't expect that my eldest brother has not gone far. It turns out that he has been not far from my brother for the past ten years. Brother, you have made me miss you so hard!"
The big brother Sha Hu called out, but the group of horse bandits next to him were startled.
Big brother? Double Tiger Gang? Could it be that the person in front of me is Land Rover, the leader of the Shuanghu Gang who was famous in this desert more than ten years ago?
They often heard Sha Hu mention what happened back then. Who knew about it more than ten years ago in this desert?
The leader of the Shuanghu Gang, Land Rover, used his pair of tiger fangs and two swords to kill the surrounding horse bandit gangs. They were so frightened that they withdrew from the desert. No other gang of horse bandits within a radius of more than a hundred miles dared to set foot here.
The predecessor of today's Yesha Gang is the Shuanghu Gang. The reason why it is called the Shuanghu Gang is precisely because the names of the first boss Lu Hu and the second boss Sha Hu have the word "tiger" in their names.
These sworn brothers can be said to be ruthless people rarely seen in the desert for a century. No matter how powerful they are, they have to submit obediently to the tiger-toothed swords and tiger-toothed swords of these brothers.
The Shuanghu Gang also relied on the two of them to annex more than ten horse bandit gangs, large and small, in the surrounding areas, so that it now has several hundred members.
I heard that the big boss suddenly decided to wash his hands, withdraw from the world, and no longer do the horse bandit business. Instead, he handed over the Shuanghu Gang to his sworn brother, the second boss at the time, Sha Hu. Today's Yesha Gang.
Unexpectedly, the person they visited aggressively today to question the crime was actually Lu Lu, the boss of the Shuanghu Gang, the boss’s eldest brother back then!
The group of people standing behind Sha Hu had long heard of Land Rover's evil reputation back then. He was a devil who could kill without batting an eye!
Now that this person was sitting in front of them, the bandits' calves were a little cramped.
No wonder Li Ermazi and his gang died so simply. They were trying to survive because they offended this evil tiger in the desert back then. Wouldn't that mean they were looking for death?
"Get up! I will continue to call you big brother, but there is no need to kowtow. Now I am no longer the leader of the Shuanghu Gang, and you have already become the leader of the Yesha Gang.
"If we just talk about old friendships, you and I can have a few words, but if you are here today to stand up for that Li Erpazi, there will be nothing to talk about between us."
Sha Hu stood up and sat across from Lu Hu. He picked up the wine jar and filled Lu Lu's bowl with wine. He then took another bowl and poured himself a bowl of wine.
He held the wine in his hand and said to Lu Hu: "Big brother will always be my big brother. This bowl of wine is presented to big brother by brothers. It has nothing to do with the Yesha Gang or the boss."
"Well, then of course I want to drink the bowl of wine offered by my brother."
After saying that, Lu Hu picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Sha Hu, and the two drank the whole grain wine in the bowl.
After putting down the bowls, Sha Hu filled up their wine bowls and asked Lu Rover, "Brother, where is my nephew? Why can't I see my nephew here?"
"Sent him away. It was only because Li Ermazi hit Yunxiang that I took action to kill him and those who came with him.
"I know the rules of the world. If you kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed. But Yunxiang is just a child. I don't want him to be involved in this matter, so I sent him away.
"I also hope that brother, you can raise your hand because of past friendship. If you have anything to do, just come to me and don't cause trouble for that child."
Upon hearing this, Sha Hu slapped the table and cursed angrily: "Li Ermazi, this piece of shit, I have told him on weekdays that it is okay to rob money and things, but not to bully others, but he just doesn't listen and always betrays him. Let me do this kind of thing outside.
"Now he actually dares to beat up my nephew. He really deserves to die! My eldest brother has given him an advantage by killing him. It is also his honor to die under his sword. This bastard has been given an advantage.
"Brother, don't say anything like asking a brother to attack you, and there is no need to send my nephew away. Although there are rules in the world, there are always ways to work around everything.
"If you, eldest brother, come back again, we can rename the Yesha Gang to the Shuanghu Gang. If you, eldest brother, become the first boss and I will be the second boss, we will become a family again. This is not considered breaking the rules of the world.
"When the time comes, you and I, two brothers, can join forces and create some glory in this desert. In the future, with the support of you and me, my nephew will definitely become a hero in this desert.
"It's better than you and your son running this small inn here for ten years. Not to mention living a miserable life, brother, you still have to endure the humiliation and be bullied by people like Li Ermazi, which makes my nephew even more miserable." I was wronged.
"Brother, come back! As long as we two brothers work together, there is nothing we can't do. This desert is still our brother's world."
Sha Hu's words were sincere and touching, but Lu Lu still saw a hint of resentment in Sha Hu's eyes.
As time goes by, people will change. Back then, the two brothers were united and would advance and retreat hand in hand no matter what danger they faced.
At that time, they were willing to sacrifice their lives for each other, just like brothers.
But Lu Hu knew that Sha Hu had always been an ambitious man. Although Sha Hu obeyed his words in the Shuanghu Gang, he already felt that Sha Hu was unwilling to accept his position as the second leader.
At that time, it was only because of brotherly love and his own swords that Sha Hu did not dare to have other ideas.
Later, he decided to quit the world and handed over the Shuanghu Gang to him. However, when he took over the Shuanghu Gang, he changed the name of the Shuanghu Gang to the Yesha Gang.
Lu Rover knew all this, but he had decided not to get involved in the world anymore, so he didn't care what Sha Hu did.
Now that he appeared in front of Sha Hu again, although what Sha Hu said seemed very sincere, Lu Lu still saw fear, wariness and jealousy in his eyes.
This shows that from the bottom of his heart, he does not want to see Land Rover appear again, because then Land Rover will threaten his current status.
The reason why I said the previous words was that on the one hand, I was afraid of Land Rover back then, and on the other hand, I did not rule out that it was a test of Land Rover.
In short, Lu Rover had already seen that the words he said were not sincere, but just a pretense before taking action.
Lu Hu looked at Sha Hu and couldn't help but smile.
"Okay! Just do as you say, brother. I will be the first boss, and you, brother, continue to be your second boss."
As soon as Lu Hu finished speaking, he saw a ruthless killing intent in Sha Hu's eyes.
