Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left Black Wind City overnight and rushed to Devil City.

Along the way, the two who were going to go back quickly had to slow down because they had to help catch the horse thief.

Zhan Zhao paced around on Duoduo, and beside him was Bai Yutang who was also holding the reins of Bai Yunfan who wanted to run faster.

Bai Yunfan and Zao Duoduo were obviously also very confused—these two horses are extremely smart, good horses know the way, they have run this road before, and they knew it was going to Devil City... So, on the road in the middle of the night No one else, why don't you run faster?

Zhan Zhao lightly patted Duoduo's neck, looked around, and said to Bai Yutang, "Can this really attract horse thieves?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, "I find it a bit difficult."

"That's right." Zhan Zhao also felt that it was not very reliable, "The horse thief should grab the caravan handle. We didn't even bring out a carriage. There are only two people, so they shouldn't be as free as the horse thief?"

"But with He Yihang's scheming." Bai Yutang felt that it was not that simple, "Even the men and horses were prepared for us, why didn't you remember to prepare some bait for them?"

"That is to say, we don't need bait, just the two of us can lure those horse thieves out?" Zhan Zhao touched his chin, tilted his head to look at Bai Yutang, "Could it be that they ran out to rob sex?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao speechlessly.

The two walked for a while, the wind was not strong tonight, but it was also a bit cold.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were wearing cloaks, Zhan Zhao rubbed Duoduo's horse's neck and looked around, thinking that those horse thieves should come quickly.

But there is no one around in the desert, and the surroundings are quiet, only the sound of horseshoes of Duoduo and Bai Yunfan.

Bai Yunfan is not as good-tempered as Duoduo, he is neither too fast nor too slow, making it a little restless and kicking the ground.

Bai Yutang was also a little troubled, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Otherwise, don't worry about it, we will follow our way, and those horse thieves will come or not, if they don't come, it will be another day."

Zhan Zhao thought it was right, so the two shook the reins.

Finally able to run, Duoduo and Bai Yunfan rushed out like a gust of wind, running faster than usual.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took a look - all right!After running like this, it is estimated that we will reach Devil City in a while, and those horse thieves will not be able to run into them, and they will not be able to catch up if they do.

However, the two ran for a while, and suddenly... there seemed to be the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked back, and saw the dust billowing in the depths of the desert, and the sound of horses' hooves in disorder—it seemed that a team of horses was approaching at a high speed.

Zhan Zhao raised an eyebrow at Bai Yutang.

Fifth Master raised his head and looked into the distance - sure enough, he could already see the dusty place, there seemed to be more than a dozen horses galloping fast, that posture...

"Is this the legendary horse thief?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao while holding Bai Yunfan to slow him down.

Zhan Zhao also stopped Duoduo, touched his chin and looked back, "Maybe... Isn't a horse thief just a thief who rides a horse? I haven't encountered it before."

"A horse thief is one who rides a horse?" Bai Yutang seemed thoughtful, "I always thought that all the bandits in the desert were called horse thieves."

"A horse thief is a horse thief, and a bandit is a bandit, right?" Zhan Zhao said, "A thief on the mountain is called a mountain thief, and a thief in the water is called a water thief, so a thief on horseback is a horse thief."

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Then what's the difference between a horse thief and a bandit? Bandits also ride horses."

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao tilted his head while crossing his arms.

"Bandits can also ride horses," Bai Yutang added.

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Is this..."

Duoduo and Bai Yunfan had already slowed down at this time, and the two horses had clearly understood that it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who deliberately slowed down, lest the horse thieves would not be able to catch up.At the same time, the two on horseback began to seriously discuss the title of "horse thief".

Duoduo looked back at the two people who were chatting nonsense, and tilted his head to look at Bai Yunfan, which meant——Fanfan, what are they doing?

Bai Yunfan looked at Zao Duoduo helplessly——My Tangtang family used to be very serious, but it was all spoiled by your funny cat!

Duoduo stared at Bai Yunfan for a while, then suddenly went up and bit Bai Yunfan's mane with one bite - no bad words are allowed!

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were talking, when suddenly they saw Duoduo biting Bai Yunfan's mane, as if they were arguing.

"Hey!" Zhan Zhao hurriedly patted Duoduo's head to make him spit out, "Duoduo, are you domestically violent? Your husband is so handsome and you still bite him?"

Bai Yutang looked at Bai Yunfan who was bitten honestly and didn't reply, "So you are still afraid of your wife."

Bai Yunfan shook his mane, took a step towards Duoduo, and touched it.

Slant it a lot.

Bai Yunfan flicked his mane again—be good, stop being angry~

Duoduo flicked his tail—hmph!I forgive you this time.

Zhan Zhao rubbed Duoduo's head to smooth its fur. Beside him, Bai Yutang looked at the team of horse thieves running closer and closer in the distance, a little puzzled, "Why do these horse thieves still have a carriage?"

Zhan Zhao also looked, "You just snatched it from somewhere else?"

……

However, as the horse team got closer and closer, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that something was wrong. The group of "horse thieves" were dressed like ordinary merchants. The big horse team also had carriages and luggage. A camel is running wildly.

Duoduo and Bai Yunfan subconsciously moved aside to make way for the rushing team.

Bai Yutang looked carefully, and saw an old man leading the horse team, waving vigorously at them while leading the horse team.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang blinked, and when they listened carefully, they heard the sound of hooves, accompanied by a few roars, "Run! The horse thief is coming!"

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, exchanged glances with Bai Yutang, lightly tugged Duoduo and Bai Yunfan's reins to move aside a few steps, and tilted his head to look—well, it turns out that there are still a large number of people with knives behind the cavalry The horse thief!

This group of horse thieves looked like horse thieves. They were not well-dressed, but they were physically strong. They rode on horses and dragged big sabers, chasing while shouting.

Bai Yutang looked at those horse-chopping knives, feeling a little helpless, "No wonder they say Zhao Pu is like a horse thief."

Zhan Zhao suddenly clapped his hands lightly, "Could it be that the horse thief actually refers to the thief with the saber?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "This is possible, but what about the others with axes?"

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and scratched his head—why is he called a horse thief? !

But at this moment, what was running towards them was actually a team of merchants.

This is a family merchant team of a group of Han people. They came from Hangzhou and traveled to the Western Regions to sell silk and tea.Originally, he planned to leave early tomorrow morning, but the grandson of the old man's family was about to be born, and the old man was eager to return home, so he returned overnight with his troops.

Few people dared to walk the night roads in this area before, but since the Zhao family army took over in Black Wind City, merchants are not afraid anymore.When all the merchants who came from Black Wind City left, the officers and soldiers would send them a loud arrow for help.If you encounter horse thieves along the way, especially at night, send a contact signal to the sky, and the officers and soldiers of Black Wind City will rescue them.

Because of this, the horse thieves and bandits near Black Wind City have almost disappeared.

Relying on the fact that there are many strong young men in his team, and with a distress arrow in his arms, the old man rushed here overnight.Seeing that they were approaching Black Wind City, who knew that a team of horse thieves suddenly appeared.They originally wanted to shoot arrows for help, but who knew how many vultures were raised in the horse thief team on the opposite side, they were very powerful.The old man had just thrown the arrow into the sky, when a giant eagle flew over, flapped the arrow with its wings, the direction of the arrow changed, and it went straight to the ground. After it exploded on the ground, it didn’t light up at all, and the sound of the horse’s hoof disappeared. I can still ask for help.

So, the old man had no choice but to lead the team to rush towards Black Wind City.

I was running, and I saw two young people on the side of the road in front of me. I don’t know if they came out for a walk at night or what. Leisurely.

"father!"

The old man was running for his life when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

The old man turned his head and saw that it was the elder son who reminded him, "Low your head!"

The old man felt something bad wind blowing towards his face, he suddenly lowered his head...a huge vulture flew past his head.The old man felt a pain in his head, and the vulture's sharp claws grabbed his hat and flew into the air, and took away a handful of his hair. The old man grinned in pain, stretched out his hand, and his forehead was bloody.

At this time, many people in the team were dying. The giant eagles the size of three foals hovered and swooped above their heads, each grabbing a handful of flesh, causing the horses and camels to panic.

The team of horse thieves in the back chased closer and closer, and someone blew a whistle and directed the three giant eagles to attack the merchants.

Zhan Zhao raised his face and saw clearly, "No wonder we couldn't catch these horse thieves. It turned out that they used eagles to scout and attack people."

Bai Yutang patted Bai Yunfan's horse's head slightly, and Bai Yunfan turned around and walked to the side.

Zhan Zhao hung Ju Que on Duoduo's saddle, patted it on the head lightly, told him to go to the same place with Bai Yunfan, then turned himself over and got off the horse.

Bai Yutang also dismounted, and Duoduo and Bai Yunfan stood not far away, looking back.

The merchant team that was running wildly was harassed by the eagle attack and was rushing forward.

The old man saw the two young men suddenly got off their horses and stood by the side of the road.

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and at this moment, he saw "咻".

The old man thought it was because he was dazzled... There were two young men wearing cloaks just now, one red and the other white, why is there only one man in white left now?

The man in white bent down, reached out to pick up a red cape on the ground, shook it slightly, patted it, raised his hand and threw it on the back of the red horse not far away.

The old man was in a daze, looking straight at the five-foot-long silver knife in the hand of the man in white. In the cloud and mist, the knife is thin and thin.

Although the old man is a tea seller, but one of his hobbies in life is collecting swords. The workmanship of this sword is as thin as a seedling. It is the rent of the seedling sword. It is about five feet long. Old but not dull, the blade is slightly curved, with a dragon head on the handle, and there should be three characters below the dragon head... three characters!

The old man subconsciously stared at the knife in Bai Yutang's hand, looking for those three words...

"father!"

The old man was watching intently, when he heard his son yell behind him.

As soon as the old man came back to his senses, he felt the wind blowing in the back of his head. When he turned his head subconsciously, he saw that the largest vulture had already rushed towards him, and its sharp claws were stretched out towards his face.

Secretly said "It's over", the old man felt that the time for his death had come, and he wanted to close his eyes and wait for death, but the old man has been running all his life in the rivers and lakes, and he has never seen any storm, even if he died under the claws of an animal, he would be scared to close his eyes Can't see it?He was also stubborn, staring straight at the vulture, and said in his heart that when you come down, I will bite off one of your claws first, and die with you.

However, the moment the old man stared, he saw a red figure suddenly appear above the vulture.

The young man who was supposed to be wearing a red cloak standing on the side of the road just now suddenly appeared above the eagle. He stepped on the eagle's back, grabbed the eagle's neck, and lifted it up.

The eagle screamed, turned around, fluttered its wings and rolled in the air. As soon as the young man let go, the eagle rushed straight into the sky.

The old man looked up, and saw the young man stepping on the eagle's back, as if stained, followed the eagle to the clouds, and before leaving, he did not forget to say, "The old man is brave."

The old man opened his mouth wide - can he fly? !

At the same time, the merchant's cavalry was rushing past the man in white with a "crash".

The old man hurriedly turned his head, and saw that after all his horse team passed by the men in white, the men in white suddenly turned sideways, blocking the group of horse thieves who were about to run in front of them.

I saw the man in white throwing the long knife to the ground with one hand. At that moment, the handle of the knife turned, and the cold light swayed across the blade along the broken hole. There were three clear words on the handle - knife in the cloud!

"Ah!" The old man yanked the horse's reins violently, and the group of juniors behind him almost bumped into them, and hurriedly followed him to stop.

"Father?" The two sons ran up and looked at Bai Yutang who was blocking the horse thief in front of him.

I saw the group of horse thieves coming yelling and running wildly. The fastest one on horseback was a burly man with a shirtless waist and a hideous beard, who was the fastest on horseback. The horse-cutting sword, which was as tall as a man, rushed towards Bai Yutang while waving it.

Many people behind the old man were so shocked that they almost cried out, but before they could cry out, they saw a cold light, accompanied by the sound of dragon chant resounding in the air, Bai Yutang's silver knife was unsheathed.

The old man took a deep breath excitedly, "Good knife!"

The corners of the mouths of the two sons beside the old man twitched speechlessly - the old man still has the mind to reward the knife at this moment...

Look again, Bai Yutang held the knife in both hands, took a step up with one foot, and swung the knife at the horse thief who had already raised the knife in front of his eyes. , the tall horse ran past him, with half of the corpse on its back, roaring away from the old man and the others.

With a sound of "bang", the other half of the horse thief's corpse fell down and fell to the front of the horse thief team. At Bai Yutang's feet, the tip of the knife flew to the front of the horse thief's horse behind, and plunged straight into the ground, submerged for more than half a foot.The rest of the horses in the horse thief's team were startled by the sudden change and took a few steps back.

The rest of the horse thieves also grabbed the horse's reins.

Bai Yutang held the knife in one hand and swung it... The blood drew a huge arc and sprinkled on the yellow sandy ground. Under the moonlight, the knife in the cloud was not stained by blood, and it was still shining coldly.

Several horse thieves stared at the man in white in front of them, seemingly stunned. At the same time, they heard a few eagles neighing overhead.

Everyone raised their faces subconsciously. After Zhan Zhao stepped on the eagle and jumped up, he suddenly stepped on the eagle's head and soared into the air. Two vultures on the left and right flanked him and rushed towards him.I saw Zhan Zhao turning over in the air, with his hands spread out, as if he was an eagle of the same kind, he stayed in the air for a while, letting the two eagles pass by, and at the same time stretched out his hands to grab the wings of the two eagles, waved his hands, The two eagles bumped into each other with a bang.

Dragging two battered vultures, Zhan Zhao followed the trend and stepped on the first vulture. The vulture seemed to want to run away, Zhan Zhao chased after it, stomping on its head and neck , the eagle went straight to the ground.

Zhan Zhao handed the other two hawks to his left hand, took advantage of the situation, and grabbed the tail of the hawk under his feet with his right hand.

The horse team behind the old man had already run for their lives in disregard, and stood there watching stupidly. With a gust of wind, Zhan Zhao landed behind the group of horse thieves, shaking his hands...

With a sound of "bang", the three eagles were thrown down beside the horse thieves' horses, and countless feathers were raised. They are really bald now...

The horse thieves turned their heads one after another, dumbfounded.

At this time, Duoduo ran behind Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao didn't even turn his head, and "choked" with his backhand... Ju Que came out of its sheath.

The radiance and chill brought out by the ancient Wujin sword floated under the moonlight, and the horse thieves were blocked by Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang one after the other. Under the murderous aura, the horses circled in circles and neighed anxiously.

The leader of the horse thief looked at the two of them, and he knew that he was definitely not a good stubble. The so-called frequent night walks will always encounter ghosts one day, and the one he encountered today is probably the fatal Yan Luo.

The horse thieves all looked at the leader.

The leader turned his horse's head and decided that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss. At this time, it is one thing to win the fight. This side is too close to Black Wind City. If there is any movement to attract Zhao Pu's soldiers and horses, it will be over.

However, before the horse thieves had time to evacuate, Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "Ask you guys something."

Those horse thieves obviously understood Chinese.

The leader asked in somewhat blunt Chinese, "What do you want to ask?"

Zhan Zhao looked at him and asked seriously, "Why are you called horse thieves?"

The horse thieves were taken aback.

The merchant team over there was also taken aback.

Bai Yutang added, "What's the difference between you and a bandit?"

……

The horse thieves had complicated expressions at this time, and they didn't understand what the two of them meant.

At this time, the old man on the merchant side suddenly said, "The name horse thief originated from the Northern Wei Dynasty. A group of ordinary bandits were caught and pushed to the horse market to be beheaded. Who knew they broke free from the shackles, snatched the horse and ran away." , So they were called horse thieves. At first, they just referred to horse thieves. Later, bandits who robbed horses quickly were called horse thieves or horse bandits. They were different from ordinary bandits because they were fast.”

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao's face was full of knowledge, "So that's how it is. At first, he was a horse thief, so he was called a horse thief."

Bai Yutang also raised his eyebrows.

"That's right." Zhan Zhao seemed to have remembered something, took out a small bamboo tube the size of a whistle from his sleeve, held it between two fingers and flicked it into the air.

With the sound of "咻咻" breaking through the air... the bamboo tube flew into the air and exploded. Afterwards, dust was flying in the distance, and the hundred fine riders arranged by Ouyang for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed towards them.

The horse thieves looked at Zhao's army's flag and wanted to run away after shouting bad... But just as they turned their horses around, something flew over from the air.

The horse thieves lowered their heads subconsciously... An arrow as long as a spear landed in front of them, and stabbed into the ground steadily. Youlian is extremely beautiful.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced around, and saw that after the hundred cavalry, Long Qiaoguang also came with his men.The right general held his strong bow in his hand, and riding Ban Ban, paced here at a leisurely pace.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—yo?These few horse thieves are already the turtles in the urn, why did Long Qiaoguang come in person?

In a blink of an eye, those elite riders had already arrived, surrounded the horse thieves, and facing each other with bows and arrows, "Get off the horse!"

The horse thieves had no choice but to get off their horses, kneel down on the spot with their heads in their hands and catch them without a fight.

When Long Qiaoguang arrived, he thanked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang for their hard work, and he looked quite embarrassed.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also have nothing to do with him.

Pulling the reins of the horse to the front of the horse thief, Long Qiaoguang took a glance, and finally smiled, leaning on Ban Ban's head with one hand, and gently stroking his mustache with the other hand, kneeling in front of the horse thief, bowing down A young man at the head said, "Old He is really exhaustive. You really hide here. Those two little sand thieves are still useful."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked in the direction Long Qiaoguang was watching, and saw one of the horse thieves slowly raised his head.The man was obviously a Han Chinese, and he seemed out of place among a group of foreign horse thieves.

After the young man stared at Long Qiaoguang, he sighed, "Why are you so lingering, I said I don't want to go into the muddy water!"

"Then it's up to you." Long Qiaoguang raised his eyebrows, "You're already with the horse thieves, or you will be rewarded for your crimes, or you will be pushed to beheaded."

The corner of the man's mouth twitched for a while, "Are you blackmailing me?"

Long Qiaoguang laughed, and hooked his fingers at the two soldiers. The two soldiers got off their horses and tied up the young man, and brought him back to the team behind Long Qiaoguang.The rest of the horse thieves were tied up by those elite cavalry, and escorted to Black Wind City to wait for disposal.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—it turned out that it was not as simple as letting them catch horse thieves.

"Who is he?" Zhan Zhao asked Long Qiaoguang.

Long Qiaoguang thanked the two of them first, and then explained, "This kid is nicknamed Dilong. He has been arrested for a long time. Lao He asked him to help with something, but every time he slipped away. This kid is very thief. He ran away after smelling the officers and soldiers, and this time he was caught thanks to the two of you."

"Earth dragon?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, isn't the earth dragon that kind of soft bug in the ground?

Long Qiaoguang smiled, "This kid is very useful, it's a pity to kill him like this. Sending him back to Lao He can save many people."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao was quite curious, but depending on the situation, it's a long story, so let's ask He Yihang carefully after returning.

Bai Yutang also got on the horse at this time, and the two of them saw that since they were done, they left Long Qiaoguang, turned around and continued to the Devil City.

When Lao He saw the messy merchants, he leaned forward, saw the old man in the lead, and found that he was an old acquaintance, "Oh, isn't this old boss, and he is selling tea again."

"Ah! You General!" The old man seemed to have come to his senses, pointing at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who were going away, "Those two..."

"Oh, those two already have sweethearts, and it's useless to try to recruit a son-in-law." Long Qiaoguang talked as usual, and put his shoulders on the old man's shoulders to call his subordinates to help the merchant team pack things and treat the wounded.

"Wow, there are quite a lot of scratches. Take those three depilated chickens back." Ouyang pointed to the three vultures on the ground and said to Lao Chang, "I'll stew them when I go back to scare you."

The old man wanted to ask if the two just now were the legendary Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, but unfortunately Long Qiaoguang kept babbling, the old man opened his mouth for a long time, but didn't get a word in...
