Fortunate Young Gentleman

Shazhou is very remote and chaotic. According to Bahar, although there are no horse thieves in the city, ruffians like Sand Scorpion are still very rampant. [This chapter was first published on Ai, You, Sheng, Novel Network, please remember the URL]

Large caravans are okay, but some small caravans with not very strong escorts are usually blackmailed by them. They have to pay a sum of "protection silver" to avoid financial losses and disasters.

Bahar followed Tang Ning to the door of the inn. He looked back and saw that no one was following him. He was relieved secretly, but he still reminded him: "Sir, Shazhou is not as good as your capital city. It's very chaotic here. You have to remember that if you don't have money, Lu Bai, if we are targeted by someone more powerful, we won’t be able to leave Shazhou..."

"I understand." Tangning nodded, handed him two more 100-tael banknotes, and said, "Please prepare what supplies you need to leave the city. We will officially set off in three days."

Bahar looked at the banknote, his eyes lit up again, and said: "We need to rent a few camels, and prepare food and water. Don't worry, sir, these things are all taken care of by me. I will definitely help you get it done." Properly…”

In the desert, camels were more suitable for long-distance travel than horses. Bahar was a native of the Western Regions and was very familiar with these things, so Tangning left all these chores to him.

In the past three days, he took Xiaoxiao and Tang Yaoyao to visit Shazhou City on the first day, but they were unwilling to come out on the second day.

The air quality in Shazhou has been really bad these days. The sky is gray. When the wind blows, it seems like there will be sand hitting the face. Both women are very concerned about their beautiful faces and do not want them to be eroded by the wind and sand. , simply hide in the inn and not come out.

The six elders of Wan Gu Sect have been staying in the inn since the first day, and even the meals were brought in.

They didn't talk much along the way, and spent their free time studying poison and poison techniques. Before they left, Su Mei taught them some of the poison poison techniques in the Ten Thousand Poison Sutras. Several elders felt like they had found a treasure, and even a little I don’t want to waste my study time.

The population of Guizhou is also in the millions, and it is not just luck that they can take the position of the top ten elders.

Three days later, when Tangning finished breakfast and walked downstairs with them, Bahar was already waiting outside.

He looked at Tang Ning and asked respectfully, "Sir, the camels have been bought, food, water, tents, etc. have also been arranged. When will we set off?"

Tangning did not ask Bahar if he had any money left. He nodded and said, "If you are ready, let's set off now."

Bahar carried a big baggage on his back and said: "Xiaowan is deep in the desert. We are going to Xiaowan City. We have to cross almost half of the desert. We start from the west gate, leave Yangguan, and go all the way west. Just leave..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Tangning and asked in surprise, "Master, where are your guards?"

The Western Region is very chaotic. There are horse bandits everywhere. Without strong enough guards, if you go deep into the Western Region, you will die. Don’t look at the little girl yesterday who was very fast. But if you encounter dozens or hundreds of horse bandits in the desert, one person’s skills It won't have any effect.

Tangning shook her head and said, "Let's leave the city first and then talk about it."

Bahar naturally thought that their guards were waiting outside the city. Otherwise, how could they go deep into the Western Region? Is it because of these old people who had trouble even climbing on a camel?

Strange to say, he originally thought that Mr. Tang was taking his two lovely wives to experience exotic customs, but today he discovered that these old people were traveling with them. As an interpreter, he had traveled back and forth from the Western Regions several times. I have led many small caravans, but I have never seen such a strange group of people.

However, these have nothing to do with him. Although it is a long way to Xiaowan, this trip is enough for him to have food and clothing for the rest of his life. It is worth taking a risk for this.

The place where the camels are rented is just outside the city. When a few people were walking towards the west gate, on the other side of the street, the man named Sha Xie gave a few people a cold look and waved, "Follow me!"

Counting Bahar, there were a total of twelve people on Tangning's trip. Bahar rented fifteen camels, three of which carried water, food, tents and other daily necessities.

Coming out of the place where the camels were rented, Bahar looked at Tangning and said, "It's a long way to Xiaowan City. I've brought half a month's worth of dry food with me. When I pass through those countries, I'll go into the city to replenish it..."

Bahar was obviously a qualified guide. In addition to arranging everything, he also thoughtfully prepared a cloak for all of them.

The wind and sand in the desert are strong, and the strong wind carries the sand grains. The feeling of blowing on the face is like a knife. This is also the reason why the skin of women in the Western Regions is generally not very good. Once they relax their protection, their delicate skin will be damaged in a short time. It was eroded by wind and sand over time.

Riding camels, walking in the desert, with the scorching sun above their heads. As soon as they left Yangguan, Xiaoxiao and Tang Yaoyao's fresh energy was exhausted. They were listless and said nothing while riding on the camels.

Bahar, on the other hand, had been looking around since just now, his expression becoming uneasy. After leaving Yang Pass, he finally couldn't help but catch up with Tangning in front of him and asked, "Master, where are your guards?"

Tangning said, "We don't have any guards."

Entering the desert without guards is no different from seeking death. Less than a hundred miles west of Yangguan, you will become the soul of a horse thief.

Bahar laughed dryly and said: "Sir, stop joking..."

Tangning said seriously, "I'm not joking."

Although he didn't bring many people, the overall strength of their team was stronger than any large caravan.

"How can this be possible!" Bahar stopped his camel urgently and said in shock: "Without guards, we will die in the desert within three days!"

Seeing that Tang Ning had no intention of changing his mind, he immediately jumped off the camel and said: "No, I won't go this time. I will return the banknotes to you when I go back..."

Although he liked silver, he cherished his life more. Following this group of old, weak and sick people without guards into the desert was simply to die.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of figures suddenly emerged from behind the ruins not far ahead.

These people rode horses and quickly rushed to Tang Ning and others. A rough count showed that there were about thirty people.

Bahar saw the man in the front sitting on the sand, then bounced up from the ground due to the heat, and said in a trembling voice: "Sand, Sand Scorpion..."

Shaxie was riding on the horse, looking at Tang Ning, his face full of ferocity, gritting his teeth and saying: "Boy, I thought you were hiding in the city and not coming out!"

Tang Ning didn't want to bring guards with him because he didn't want to make a big fuss, otherwise he could bring all the elites of the Beggars' Sect and the disciples of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect to the Western Regions.

But Bahar's words reminded him that even if he didn't need to rely on them for protection, he had a few people under his command, so he didn't have to do everything himself.

Tang Ning glanced at Lao Zheng and said: "Lao Zheng, thank you for your help."

Lao Zheng jumped off the camel, and the man felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the whole person was dragged off the horse.

Old Zheng pulled out the butcher knife from his waist, put it on the neck of the sand scorpion, and said expressionlessly: "Let them get off the horse."

"Please spare my life!" The ferocious sand scorpion immediately wilted, looked at his men on horseback, and shouted: "What are you still standing there for? Get off the horse!"

"Wait!" Another young man on the horse glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Brother, are you scared silly? There are so many of us, are you afraid of these old guys?"

The young man looked at Old Zheng and said: "Let us go quickly, Big brother, otherwise I will chop you all into meat paste in a while!"

"Asshole!" Sand Scorpion felt the butcher knife on his neck was getting hotter, and cursed angrily, saying: "Get off my horse, he will really kill me!"

The young man smiled and said: "Big brother, if you die, the brothers will avenge you!"

Shaxie was furious and said: "Asshole, do you think you can be the boss after I die?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that his men on horseback did not move, and his face immediately turned pale.

Old Zheng looked at the two of them with some boredom, grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, and threw it out casually.

"Ah!"

"My eyes!"

"I can't see!"

...

More than ten people fell off their horses and were knocked unconscious by the back of the knife by Old Zheng. When the rest of the people reacted, they opened their eyes and saw yellow sand all over the sky.

Bang bang bang!

The yellow sand hit the ruffians on horseback, making a series of dull sounds. In a moment, no one could sit on the horse safely.

Bahar was stunned to see that the ordinary yellow sand had such great power in the hands of the man.

Tang Ning looked at Bahar and asked, "Do you still not want to go now?"

Bahar swallowed and asked, "Can I choose?"

"Of course, I'm not an unreasonable person." Tang Ning nodded and said, "You can choose to go willingly, or be forced to go..."

"You have a quarter of an hour to think about it." Tang Ning glanced at him and then turned his attention to Shaxie and others again. [This chapter is first published on Ai. You. Voice. Novel Network, please remember the website address]
