Chapter 78 Merchants from afar

Chen Guang had just finished putting on the medicinal oil in the tent and changed into clean clothes, he saw Chen Mohe and Lu Xiong coming in. Lu Xiong also carried a Hu Shang wearing a white robe and a pointed black hat in his hand.

"Langjun, I just inspected the camp and saw this thief peeking around the surroundings, so I caught him."

"Mr. I'm accused. I'm a merchant from Florida, not a thief."

Hu Shang, who was thrown to the ground, got up and said quickly, "He saw with his own eyes how these Tang people killed those damn horse-riding thieves without leaving any armor." He didn't want to lose his life for no reason."

"The merchant who came to Fu's place?"

Seeing that Hu Shang in front of him was wearing a big white robe of a big cannibal, Chen Guang couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you kidding someone? Fu Ke and Da Shi are mortal enemies. There are few merchants from Fu Ke in Anxi."

"Mr. Lang, this guy is not honest, so it's better to kill him."

Seeing that Chen Langjun was scaring the Hu Shang, Chen Mohe said sinisterly from the side, and then captured the Hu Shang Lu Xiong, and even pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist. He immediately scared the Hu Shang's face turned pale.

"Mr. Langjun, my master is really a merchant from Frank. The cannibals are now in a rebellion in China and have no time to block the business roads. We dressed up as a Persian merchant and went to the Tang Dynasty."

With Hu Shang's life, he was not willing to keep a secret for his master, so he told him everything he knew.

"Captain Lu, let him live."

Looking at the Hu Shang who was slumped on the ground, Chen Guang asked Lu Xiong to put away his knife. Then he thought of the caravan that had escaped after being saved by them. "Captain Lu, you bring someone to invite his master over. We have saved the lives of their caravans, but we can't do it in vain."

"Here."

When Lu Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but touch his bare head, then excitedly carried Hu Shang's neck, and took him out as if he was carrying a chicken.

"Is there anything wrong with Master Chen?"

"Langjun, where is Zhang Mazi back? There are still five or six hundred tribes in the camp of the bandits, mostly women and children, and there are also many robbed people."

"Whether to kill or stay, Zhang Mazi dared not make decisions without authorization, so he asked the husband to give him an idea."

Chen Moha looked cold. His old soldiers, who had been with generations of Anxi, had been as hard as iron and stone. In their eyes, the old, weak, women and children were all enemies, so they could not be killed.

"Person Chen, we are three days away from Tiemen Pass!"

"In less than three days, you can reach Tiemen Pass."

"Since that's the case, let's take it with you. After going to Yanqi, we still need manpower."

Chen Guang was not that bloodthirsty, but he was not a Virgin. In his opinion, population is wealth, but it depends on how to use it.

After all, he was also a plain person. When he saw the beautiful dancers and musicians in Gao Xianzhi's mansion, he wanted to give them freedom and did not want the men to be slaves. However, when he needed labor, he bought a large number of slaves from Old Man An.

"My husband is kind, so I sent someone to reply to Zhang Mazi."

Because of Chen Guang's words, more than 700 people were spared from the killing. Chen Mohe did not think that Chen Guang was the kindness of a woman, and Chen Langjun was a rare wise man, knowing what he wanted and what he should do!

...

In a wilderness two or three miles away from Chen Guang's camp, Faucas, who was still in shock, looked at the caravan with dozens of camels and horses left, and couldn't help but curse, "Those damn robbers, don't let me..."

Seeing his master getting angry there, the rest of the team said nothing. Some of them were the Romans brought by Forkas from Byzantium, and some of them were the Persians hired in Khoras.

The Romans did not understand the Tang Dynasty, while the Persians knew that the master who hired them was probably a fool, and they also wanted to get the robbed goods back from the brave Tang Dynasty. They were just rushing to escape and did not resist the thunderous robbers with the other party at all. Why should they ask others to return the goods to them?

Even if this new master was a bullshit noble in the country of Florida, he was just a Hu merchant in Anxi and the land of the Tang Dynasty. If he annoyed the Tang people, it would be light to bring humiliation to himself. They lost most of the supplies in the desert and Gobi Desert. If the Tang people had malicious intentions, they would all die.

Now I can only hope that Ario is smart enough to not offend those Tang people. When they think of their companions sent to inquire about the news, the Persians whispered to each other. If this new master was in trouble, they would not want to be buried with him.

Just as they thought, they felt the earth tremble, and a large amount of smoke and dust rose in the wilderness ahead, so they all stood up in shock, and then their new master also stopped cursing. Then the only twenty Romans in the team were guarding the front with a shield and a nervous look.

The sound of horse hooves went from fast to slow, and finally the smoke and dust disappeared in the wild wind, and the figure of the horse team in front gradually became clear. The head was a magnificent and burly knight, and Ario was placed behind the saddle like a cargo.

Lu Xiong grabbed the Persian merchant, stretched his arms out, threw him on the ground, and said, "Hurry up and let your master come out and go to see the husband with me."

"The villain is going now, go now!"

Ario rolled up from the ground and ran towards his team while shouting. His companions felt relieved when they saw it. Since Ario could come back safely, it means that these Tang people can still reason.

Veterans over fifty immediately looked at the Romans who had set up military formations and couldn't help but start to savor, "It looks a bit like it, but using only a short sword is too much."

In the Romans' team, Olus, who once served as centurion in the Imperial Army, was an experienced veteran. Although he was dozens of meters away, he could still notice that the knights on the opposite side were comparable to the most elite heavy armored iron cavalry in the Empire, which made his palms covered in sweat.

When they passed through the Arab territory from Byzantium, they could not carry the standard spears used by the legion. They only had round shields and daggers as weapons. They could barely make do with ordinary archers, but when they encountered heavy cavalry in armor, it would be useless.

Seeing Ario coming back, Forcas's face became not very good. He had just seen how the Tang people treated this slave rudely, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope, "Ario, what do those Tang people say?"

"Master, the one who saved us was a general from the Tang Dynasty and a noble nobleman. According to the rules, he defeated the thunder robbers, and our goods belonged to him."
