Chapter 150 The Thief of the Desert

This wedding banquet was drunk from the afternoon to the evening, and Chen Guang also drank very drunk after all. After all, the veterans came to toast him, and he could not refuse. So at this wedding, the one who drank the most was him.

Pei Da was deeply moved. Although today's wedding was almost simple, this Shen Langjun also attracted the hearts of the people. Not only the veterans were willing to serve him in the future. None of the men, the good sons of Kucha and those Tielerus were the same.

In this life, isn’t it just hope?

After drinking the glass of wine and looking at the veterans around him who were smiling happily, Pei Da suddenly felt an impulse coming to his heart. He wanted to go back to Chang'an to take a look.

The next morning, when Chen Guang woke up, his head still hurt. Bai Aqiao quickly asked someone to come in to learn about the wine soup.

After drinking the sanitation soup, Chen Guang ate some more food, so the people felt much more comfortable. At this time, I reported that it was Pei Da who asked for a visit.

"What's the matter with Dalang looking for me?"

"Langjun, I want to go back to Chang'an with you to see if your family is safe!"

"Okay, Dalang, go and prepare your luggage and go with us later."

Although it was a bit strange why Pei Da changed his mind again, Chen Guang would not ask about the reason. In his opinion, Pei Da was willing to go to Chang'an with him. After all, no matter how much Pei Da said, he would definitely be more familiar with the situation in Chang'an City than him.

"Thank you, my husband."

"Chen Lang, why don't you leave tomorrow? You drank so much wine yesterday."

"It's okay, I'm much better now, we can't delay any more."

Chen Guang patted Bai Aqiao's hand, knowing that she felt sorry for her body, but he was fine anymore. Anyway, he could sleep when riding on a camel.

Half an hour later, Chen Guang and his party left the city lord's mansion. In addition to the fang soldiers, the 100 Kucha Liangzi and Han'er were all ready to go with their horses. In addition, the other fifty old soldiers who were still in their prime arrived.

"Langjun."

"Let's go!"

Chen Guang, who climbed onto the white camel, leaned against the saddle, and as he spoke, the team headed towards the city gate. In the team, Shi Yanan looked at Chen Guang's back with a complicated look. She also opened her eyes at yesterday's wedding banquet. She never expected that this Shen Langjun was so unrestrained and ignored etiquette.

For example, if the veterans and widows were promoted to the pass, they would probably be laughed at to death! No one like him who did not care about his reputation at all!

After leaving the city, the team naturally got up and walked along the official road.

A few days later, the team moved away from the official road with stations along the way, but took a shortcut road, crossed the desert and went straight to the old place of Gaochang.

Anxi in autumn is the most beautiful time of the year. Because of the climate, even if you walk in the desert, there are still oasis and meadows dotted from time to time along the way.

Of course, in such a desert, robbers and horse thieves are naturally indispensable. However, Yanqi is one of the four towns. This desert from Yuli to Gaochang is not long. In addition, most caravans still choose to follow the official road, so the thieves here are small teams of dozens of people.

On the white camel's back, Shen Guang looked at the shadow of the horse team that appeared from time to time on the edge of the sand and sea. He took the water bag and drank a few sips and said, "Wang Lushuai."

"Langjun."

The leader of the veterans was named Wang Ben. Before returning to the field, he was a coach. He was a tall and 40-year-old man with a calm personality.

"Those rats have been following us for two days. Can you see if you can come back and ask?"

It has been two days since Chen Guang and his team entered the desert. There were no less than three or four thieves following him. The most were sixty or seventy people, but in the end, no one of them took action rashly.

"Here."

Wang Lushuai took the order and left. He has been in Anxi for more than ten years and naturally knew the habits of those thieves. When they encounter a team that is difficult to chew, the thieves may not join forces. They can get out of this desert in at most two days. If these thieves want to take action, it will only be two days.

The sky in the desert was as blue as it was washed away, and there were no clouds. Even though there were thick curtains covering the sun, Bai Aqiao felt hot when riding on the camel's back, but she had always been strong. Seeing that the fierce woman had no movement on the camel's back, she endured it.

"Langjun, there is an oasis ahead."

Soon, the team that had been sent out to explore the way came back. Someone from the Kucha Liang family, who followed the two veterans, couldn't wait to say that although they were proficient in equestrianism, they never left their hometown for a hundred miles. This time, they followed Chen Guang so far, and learned a lot along the way with the veterans.

When Chen Guang heard that there was an oasis, he became energetic, and the team accelerated. At the same time, two other teams of Kucha Liang's sons and veterans went to the oasis to fight the front station first.

When walking in this desert, you have to be careful in everything. Sometimes, if the oasis is big enough, it will become a place for the thieves to ambush. After several battles, Chen Guang is considered half an old corps. Even if there is no reminder from the veteran, he knows what to do.

Half an hour later, Shen Guang came down from the camel, looked at the quite large lake in the oasis, looked at Bai Aqiao and the others and said, "Let's rest here for two hours before setting off."

Hearing Chen Guang's orders, the veterans naturally asked Han'er and the good kids of Kucha to gather camels and grazed horses, and also set up simple temporary camps for rest.

Because of the water vapor at the lake, the wind blowing from the lake was very cool. Bai Aqiao took off her veil and felt that she was very energetic.

After moving two stools, Chen Guang let Bai Aqiao sit together with the lady Shi who also got off the camel to rest. Now the relationship between the two is much more harmonious than at the beginning, and because of this lady Shi, Bai Aqiao is much stronger. You must know that she grew up in the palace since she was a child, but she has never suffered such a long journey.

The charcoal cakes were taken from the camels, and the men skillfully used the coal stove and then started boiling water. Because of the sunken light, whenever they encountered an oasis on the road, they would boil water and wait until it cooled before pouring it into the skin.

Now, no one in the team drinks raw water. After walking for hundreds of miles, no one has ever experienced any symptoms of being unable to adapt to the local environment.

As soon as the tent was set up, Shen Guang heard the sound of horse hooves. Several veterans sent out had returned, and one of them had a hunched person on the empty horse's back.

The captured horse thief was thrown into the sand. The frightened horse thief was about the age of twenties and had black curly hair. He didn't look like someone from Yanqi's side.

"Call Xue Da here."

Seeing that the horse thief was chatting, he didn't look like he could speak Tang Yan, Chen Guang frowned, and then he naturally called Xue Zhenzhu over. This time he brought Xue Zhenzhu with him because this Tielou was proficient in many languages ​​on the grassland.

"What's the matter with my husband calling me?"

After Xue Zhenzhu, who was bragging with the Hans, came over, immediately saw the Uighur thief on the ground and immediately understood.

"Ask him, how many people are targeting us."

Walking from this desert, in addition to taking shortcuts, Chen Guang also wanted those men and the good kids from Kucha to meet the battle. These 100 people have good martial arts skills and are skilled in bows and horses. What they lack is actual combat.

"Don't worry, my husband, I'm doing this."

Xue Zhenzhu was just thinking it was bored. While answering, she had already pulled out his whip that was conquering people with virtue. She cursed and whipped it hard at the Uighur thief, until the guy was tired of being thrust and hugged it on the ground and begged for mercy loudly, and then asked questions.
