Chapter 654 Going deep into the tiger's den
When the black gunpowder was detonated that day, Li Mu hid behind a huge rock. He thought it would be fine, but he didn't expect that the black gunpowder produced in this system was as powerful as TNT. The shock wave directly shattered the huge rock. He was knocked under the gravel and fainted, lost consciousness, and was unconscious for a long time before he woke up.
This is also thanks to his reliance on his "magic power to protect the body", otherwise such a large shock wave would have been gone long ago.
After distinguishing the direction, Li Mu was about to rush to Dingxiang when he suddenly hesitated for a moment and did not go towards Dingxiang. Instead, he sneaked back to Camel Valley.
At this time, Camel Valley was in chaos, all the backbone had died tragically, and the warriors were left with only some old, young, women and children, but they were also fighting each other.
Some Jin clan members who had not had time to run away were chased by the Yin clan who was crazy about revenge. The Tong Tie clan was also hit by the fish in the pond. Some people came out to fight and immediately became the target of public criticism. Blood was everywhere, and people shouted and shouted.
When Li Mu came to Camel Valley, he had never met ordinary people for a long time, especially those who were still in a dilemma, which was almost the same as these equally dilemma-like "refugees". Besides, no one has the energy to pay attention to him at this moment.
Li Mu originally wanted to find a place to ask for water to drink, but his throat was about to smoke. But according to the situation, no one seemed to care about it. But it was okay, this was an oasis in the desert, and there were wells everywhere. In the past, merchants had to exchange supplies to get water when they came here, but now no one was care about it. Li Mu walked to a place where he fetched water, picked up a scoop and drank it.
Just as I was drinking, I suddenly rumbling, and a sound like thunder came. I saw smoke and dust rising from the west, looking over, and I couldn't know how many people were.
The people from the Western Turks arrived.
Li Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at these Western Turkic cavalry. What he had to admit was that it was indeed different. Although the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was also very powerful, it felt like a "paladin". There were too many rules, from top to bottom, and it was prohibited. It could not be said that this was not good, but it lacked a little bit of spiritual energy.
The cavalry of the Western Turks had the feeling that was unique to nomadic peoples. For the Han people, riding horses and shooting archery were skills that only learned to fight the enemy, but for them, they were essential skills like eating and drinking water. One was the acquired point and the other was the innate talent. What was the difference? Li Mu, a cavalry of the Eastern Turks, had also seen it, and it was indeed the same as the same clan and ancestor, but the cavalry of the Eastern Turks obviously gave people a sense of decline, a heroic look that was not as straightforward as the Western Turks cavalry.
"Such good cavalry can't be owned by me, Tang Dynasty," Li Mu curled his lips. He turned slightly, and the cavalry flew past him and rushed straight to the small square in the center of Camel Valley. After stopping, the leader turned around and said, "What's going on? Why don't there even be someone to come out to pick it up? What's wrong?"
This man looked like a Turkic person, but he could speak Chinese and spoke very well. Unfortunately, although the person who heard him understood, no one paid attention to him. Seeing this, the man shouted loudly, raised his whip, and immediately a knight ran out on his horse. Soon, a Camel Valley people rushed over.
When the people saw the Turkic people, they were as scared as if they were sifting, but the person who had just spoken was still kind and said, "This old man, I am the vanguard general of the Western Turkic Republic. What happened here? Where is the silver sacrificial sacrifice now?"
The old man was stunned and then cried: "Die, all died, all died!"
Zepi frowned and said, "Have the Tang Dynasty's army attacked here?"
"It's not the army of the Tang Dynasty, it's a God's punishment!" The old man stared at the eyes. As a loyal Zoroastrian believer, the old man believed in the sayings of gods and ghosts. It was night when the explosion, and everyone close to him died. In the eyes of people in the distance, wasn't it just a 'thunder sounded flat on the ground'?
It's not cloudy or rainy, a muffled thunder echoed a "lightning bolt", and then everyone became a scumbag. It's not a divine punishment, so how should we explain it?
The old man told everything he saw, but he was completely confused about Zepi. Gunpowder has never appeared before. In addition, the old man's vivid description made Zepi, who had the belief in "Eternal Life", also began to feel that this was a divine punishment.
He frowned and asked, "The mountain collapsed with two thunder sounds? Is it blocked the pass?"
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, the old man can never be wrong when he saw it with his own eyes."
Zepi still couldn't believe it, so he glanced at the knight beside him, and the warrior came out and went to find out.
Zepi looked at the chaotic situation around him again and shouted, "Listen, we are from the Western Turks, and we are going to cross the valley to fight against the Tang Dynasty. Now we are all home and cooking for us. After half an hour, we are still fighting. If there is no food at home, don't blame the men for being ruthless!"
He shouted three times and stopped talking. He had already said something, and he would naturally not be abusive to those who did not do so.
Suddenly, the Yu Guang of Zepi swept to Li Mu's place and said, "Sneaking guy over there, come here!"
Li Mu turned around and pointed at himself, Zepi said, "Yes, it's you! You are also a local? Do you know, who else can manage the affairs here?"
Li Mu shook his head and pointed to his voice: "Ah, ah"
Zepi frowned and said, "Are you a mute?"
Li Mu nodded: "Ah, ah!"
Zepi smiled and said, "It seems that he is a person who can listen but not speak. It just so happens that I need such a person around me. You can feed my horses in the future, which can be considered as giving you a living. This place is not here, are you willing?"
Li Mu thought to himself, "What a thief, I am a magnificent Marquis of Zhulu, you ask me to feed you a horse?"
Just as I was about to refuse, I suddenly thought that I was pretending to be mute. I was helpless. What did I think just now? I actually thought that I was pretending to be mute. Didn’t I pretend to be mute?
Then I thought about it again and there seemed to be no place to go now, and these Turkic cavalry must have been heading for Dingxiang. It would be better to follow them. Anyway, if I want to leave at that time, they will not be able to stop them with their current skills.
Thinking of this, Li Mu nodded happily, Zepi also smiled, took off a wine bag on the horse's back, and threw it to Li Mu: "I'll reward you. The horse is well fed, and I'll give you jerky."
