Chapter 185 [Old Camp] (Part 2)

Luo Lie also recognized one of the people in the team at this time. The man was marching in front of the team. It was Tan Zicong, the bandit leader who Luo Lie met in the ancient city of Heilong. A few days ago, Luo Lie encountered wind and sand while crossing the Tengger Desert. His camel unfortunately died. Fortunately, he encountered a Tajik caravan. The leader Desiri and his daughter Masha helped him and sent him a camel to help him overcome the difficulties. Luo Lie followed the caravan and was camping in the ancient city of Heilong. He was robbed and killed by Tan Zicong.

In the end, he took action to control Tan Zicong and rescued the survivor of the caravan with Tan Zicong as hostage. Luo Lie widened his eyes. He clearly handed Tan Zicong over to Desili and his daughter, but why did Tan Zicong appear here? Did Desili and his daughter let him go with kindness? Or did the bandits under Tan Zicong intercept the caravan and rescue him?

Luo Lie quickly found the answer because he saw Martha in the team, tied her arms to the horse's back by someone's back cut. At the end of the team, five ragged Tajiks were tied together with ropes and dragged behind the horse. Their bodies were covered with blood and all barefoot.

Luo Lie found Desily from it. Because Desily walked slowly, the bandits riding camels raised their whip and whipped Desily in the face.

Luo Lie couldn't help but be filled with anger when he saw the scene in front of him. He subconsciously clenched his fists. Yan Tianxin saw his reaction and hurriedly reached out his hand. His soft and slender hand held Luo Lie's right hand and said softly: "Do you recognize them?"

Luo Lie nodded and whispered to Yan Tianxin about his relationship with Desili and others.

Yan Tianxin is also chivalrous. Even if she and Desiri don’t know each other, she wouldn’t watch Tan Zicong’s group of people act like a mighty man. But there are 57 people on the other side, and they are fully armed and well-armed. At present, only Luo Lie and himself are here. If they have a head-on conflict, their chances of winning are almost zero. Not only can they not save people, they are willing to fall into trouble.

Yan Tianxin suggested that they follow him first, and wait until they see where they are going, and then try to save people. A roar of diamonds came from the air. Yan Tianxin looked up at the sky and judged that there would be wind and sand coming soon. Yan Tianxin immediately had an idea. She attached herself to Luo Lie's ear and whispered a few words, and Luo Lie nodded frequently.

The Desiri and the daughter of Desiri and the other surviving tribesmen had already gained the advantage with Tan Zicong, and they had no choice but to go their separate ways with Luo Lie. Because they were worried that the bandits would come to pursue, they went far and turned south and turned west, hoping to get rid of the bandits' pursuit by changing the route.

But unexpectedly, Tan Zicong was extremely cunning and used some means to inform his subordinates. When they were about to leave the Tengger Desert, the bandits surrounded him. Although they tried their best to resist, they were defeated because they were outnumbered. Except for Desiri and his father and daughter and the four tribesmen, all the others died in battle.

The reason why Tan Zicong left their lives was not because of his compassion, but because he had not yet asked what he wanted.

Since he was captured, Desily and others had not dripped in. His lips were chapped and his throat was smoking. Desily had been in regret. If he had removed Tan Zicong a moment ago, he would not have revealed the news, nor would he give Tan Zicong a chance to report the news.

The eagle in the air attracted everyone's attention. Tan Zicong bent his index finger and stuffed it between his lips and blew a loud whistle. The horde circling in the air heard the call and dived down at an astonishing speed. When he arrived above the team, he circled for another week, then slowed down and landed steadily on Tan Zicong's shoulder. Tan Zicong looked at the horde, with a rare gentleness in his eyes. He took out a piece of minced meat from the skin under the saddle and stuffed it into the mouth of the horde. After the horde ate, it vibrated its wings and flew back into the sky.

Desiri's eyes followed the flying hawk, full of hatred. Although they controlled Tan Zicong, they did not expect that Tan Zicong's tame hawk quietly followed them. It was this hawk that exposed their whereabouts. Now they understood that it was too late.

Tan Zicong suddenly turned his head and saw Desiri's eyes almost spitting out flames. Seeing Desiri's current embarrassing appearance, Tan Zicong couldn't help laughing wildly, his laughter was restrained, and his handsome face was full of arrogance and disdain: "Old guy, fight me?"

Desiri resisted the anger in his heart and said hoarsely: "I will give you what you want. They have nothing to do with this matter. Have you let them go?" Someone immediately translated his words to Tan Zicong.

Tan Zicong said: "I have given you a chance, but unfortunately you are obsessed with it. I want the Quran, and I want your daughter, too."

Desiri roared: "She has nothing to do with this matter. If you dare to hurt her, I promise you will never get what you want."

Tan Zicong snorted and said, "Are you threatening me? When we arrive at Xinman Camp, I will go to your daughter's bridal chamber in front of you, an old person who is ungrateful!"

At this time, the wind and sand gradually rose. Tan Zicong looked forward, but saw the yellow sand rolling in the distance, sweeping towards them. A subordinate said to Tan Zicong: "General Tan, sandstorm is getting started. Should we hide for a while before leaving?"

Tan Zicong nodded, looked at their left, and said in a deep voice: "Old Yingpan, where can you hide from wind and sand."

Laoyingpan is the abandoned inn that Yan Tianxin and the others just saw. It was originally a post, but later it was unattended due to the withdrawal of defense. A couple renovated the inn into an inn. After operating for several years, they were abandoned as the road moved south. Now it is no one living here.

Yan Tianxin just saw that sand and dust were about to rise. She speculated that Tan Zicong and others would not move forward with the sand and dust. In this empty area, the place that has been hiding from wind and sand is Laoyingpan. When the wind and sand hit, people around here will choose there at the same time.

Yan Tianxin and Luo Lie therefore rushed to Laoyingpan in advance. When they arrived at Laoyingpan, the wind and sand just rose, and after arriving at the place, they found that they were not the first to arrive here.

There were six locals who were sheltering the wind in there, which was not a bad thing for Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin. They could just use these people to conceal their identities.

Although we arrived at Laoyingpan, most of the doors and windows were damaged due to disrepair, and wind and sand were still blown in. In order to avoid sucking too much sand into our mouths and noses, most of them only showed their eyes. If it were in normal weather, such a dress would inevitably arouse suspicion, but now it will not.

Tan Zicong and his team arrived at Laoyingpan about half an hour after Luo Lie arrived. Although the distance was not far, they were struggling because of the wind and sand. The team was crowded and had to take into account both prisoners and livestock. It took a lot of trouble to arrive at Laoyingpan.

Lao Yingpan's door was tied up from the inside, and two bandits rushed up and knocked on the door extremely rudely, shouting: "Open the door, open the door!"

Eight people, including Luo Lie and others, opened the door tremblingly, and a gust of wind and sand blew in from outside. A tall bandit walked in and kicked the person opposite him with his foot, and said angrily: "Damn it! Do you think it's your own home? It's actually closed!"

Tan Zicong then walked in and looked at the eight people in the courtyard. Although he was a bandit, he did not kill everyone or rob him. Besides, the eight people who came first had no luggage. Tan Zicong covered his mouth and nose and said, "Let them get out and make some room for us brothers." As soon as he spoke, he showed his unreasonableness. It was obvious that the other person came first, but he wanted to let all the eight people who came to shelter the wind first to go out.

Except for Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin, the other six people were all local people, and no one dared to compete with these bandits. They nodded and left the old camp. Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin also supported each other and came to the door.

The wind and sand outside were too strong, but despite this, most people felt that even if they were with the wind and sand, it was much safer than living in the same room with bandits. A few people had decided to leave here under the wind and sand. At this moment, there were neighing from the wind and sand. Luo Lieqing heard it and heard a lot of people from the neighing of the horse. Not only the neighing of the horse, but also the roar of motorcycles and cars.

In this area, only Yan Tuojiang's army was able to possess such equipment. Luo Lie secretly complained that it was not good. It was really because of the narrow road of enemies. It seemed that Ma Yongping sent the army to pursue them.

A few white highlights appeared in the yellow sand first. Luo Lie identified that the highlight should be the headlights. As the opponent approached, the outline of the team appeared in front of everyone. This was a team of about twenty people, composed of a car, three motorcycles, and a horse team.

The appearance of this team also attracted the attention of Tan Zicong and others. Tan Zicong asked his subordinates to be alert and kept their guns away. When he saw the opponent's leader clearly, he realized that he actually knew him. The officer in charge was one of Yan Tuojiang's subordinates, and Ma Yongping brought his brother Fang Pingzhi.

Speaking of which, Tan Zicong and Fang Pingzhi also ate flower wine together. As the saying goes, the soldiers and bandits were all over, Fang Pingzhi did not expect to meet Tan Zicong here. The two patted each other on the shoulders in the wind and sand, and walked into the old camp together.

The first people who came to Laoying to shelter the wind wanted to leave, but were stopped by the soldiers brought by Fang Pingzhi. This time they came out to search for the suspects and ordered everyone not to leave. They had to wait until the wind and sand passed to verify their identities before they could leave.

Luo Lie and the others were all assigned to a broken wall outside to temporarily hide from the wind and sand.

Tan Zicong and Fang Pingzhi occupied the magpie's nest. They came to a relatively complete room and spitted a mouthful of saliva at the same time. Tan Zicong's subordinates quickly came over and handed two pots of water. Tan Zicong and Fang Pingzhi rinsed their mouths, and then washed away the dust on their faces with clean water.
