Chapter 1415·Horse bandit

Bai Yuanze smiled and said, "I think he is very serious about things. He made exceptions for you in things that he was unwilling to do or show up in the past. These are all favors. You must not take them for granted. In the future, the Min family will have

No matter what happens, you have to do your best to help, you know?"

Bai Rongxuan nodded.

But with Min Tingke's mind, what could happen to the Min family?

It's good if he doesn't plot against others.

Alas, I don’t know what Uncle Six is ​​doing at the moment, or whether he has set out to come back.

Min Tingke is still in Xinjiang at the moment.

The weather outside is scorching hot, but in comparison, the inside of the house is barely cool. He has now returned to town and is making plans for his return trip.

Chang An said, "The carriages and horses are ready, we can hit the road at any time."

Min Tingke nodded, "Then buy all the things you want to buy. If nothing else happens, we will leave in two days."

Chang An agreed and immediately ordered his men to go out and buy items.

Min Tingke had already made a detailed list. It included local carpets, tea, exquisitely crafted pottery, and even sweet and delicious fruits... There were all kinds of things, and he loaded two cars with them.

The commotion on his side was so great that a cotton farmer came to inquire. When he learned that Min Tingke would be leaving in two days, he warmly invited him to his home for dinner. Min Tingke agreed, but at the same time he ordered his men to take a good rest and recharge their batteries.

In the evening, he indeed appeared at the cotton farmer's home. After having a dinner, he returned to the inn under the protection of Tan Long, Tan Hu and his servants.

Entering the room, he took the tea from Chang An and said tiredly, "Although the mutton here is fresh and tender, it's still unbearable to eat every time."

Chang An said, "Eating too much mutton can easily lead to internal heat. Liu Ye drinks more tea. I put some bitter roots in it, which can just reduce the internal heat."

Min Tingke nodded. After drinking tea, Chang An was about to help him rest. Unexpectedly, he suddenly said, "Didn't you rest during the day? The night is cool and suitable for traveling. Let's leave the city and hit the road."

"What?" Chang An was stunned and couldn't figure out his intention at all, "Sixth Master, how can you hurry up in this dark sky?"

Min Tingke smiled and said, "I think the weather is very good tonight. The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. If we look at the North Star and walk, we will never lose our way. Since we can walk early in the morning and late in the evening, there is no need to make a difference of one or two days."

On the contrary, it will prepare those who are secretly watching our movements, which will cause trouble when the time comes. We leave as soon as we say it, just in time to catch them off guard."

Chang An finally reacted.

There were indeed people secretly paying attention to what was happening on their side these past few days.

It's no wonder that they are outsiders, they ordered a lot of cotton at once, and they took on the identity of the Min family. They will definitely make people jealous and want to get some benefits from them. Although there are Tan Long, Tan Hu and others

Personal protection, but the strong dragon can't suppress the local snake, and I don't know how many people are behind him, so it is really not a wise move to take action rashly.

Liu Ye's move to attack the east and the west is really clever.

Chang An immediately said, "I'm going to tell everyone to pack their luggage quickly and we'll set off immediately."

Min Tingke nodded, "I don't need to worry about packing up some of my extraneous things. I can just wait until I get to the next town to buy them."

So urgent?

Chang An said alertly, "Sixth Master, did you see something wrong?"

Min Tingke said with an expressionless face, "There's nothing else. I just let them go as they please. I'm worried that if I encounter horse bandits, I'll be in trouble."

Horse bandit?

Chang An opened his eyes wide, "No way, isn't Hotan always peaceful and stable?"

Min Tingke said, "When nothing happens, it's natural. But when something goes wrong, it's hard to say."

Chang An didn't dare to say anything, turned around and went out to give orders. Everyone was a little confused and didn't know what happened for a moment. Chang An said with a straight face, "What are you doing standing still? We will set off after burning incense. We haven't packed up yet."

Just stay here."

Only then did everyone come back to their senses and started running around, making the inn very lively.

It didn't take a while to pack everything up, and everyone was ready to go, riding horses and driving carts, all of them were so energetic that the innkeeper looked confused.

He was a local from Hotan and didn't speak Chinese well. When he saw this, he ran up and asked, "What's wrong with the horse? Is it because the horse wasn't treated well enough?"

Chang An didn't say much to him. He calculated the rent, kept some more, and urged the team to go on their way.

Min Tingke sat in the car, listening to the shouting outside, and the motorcade left the city under the silver moonlight. They walked in a hurry, and they were already very far away from Hotan City at dawn. As the sun slowly rose,

The temperature is also gradually rising. Fortunately, there are stations along the way where you can rest and stop, which is quite safe.

Min Tingke ordered Chang An to rest for a while at the inn and wait until night before heading out on the road. After seven or eight days, the road was uneventful. Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, they were still targeted by horse bandits.

.

The horse bandits were numerically superior. There were about a hundred people riding tall horses in the night, all with their faces covered. They were shouting continuously and were full of momentum.

Chang An looked at the situation in front of him and felt uneasy. He whispered to Tan Long and Tan Hu, "If we take action later, you only need to protect Mr. Liu's safety and find a way to break out. You don't have to worry about others, you know?"

?”

Before Tan Long and Tan Hu could reply, Min Tingke in the carriage said lazily, "Thank you for following me to so many places, why do you have stage fright now? You actually let me run away from the battle. Isn't it a shame to be thrown into my grandma's house?"

Already?"

Chang An solemnly said, "Sixth Master, this is not the time to show off your strength and fight. As long as we can keep you safe, we will not hesitate to die under the sword of the horse bandits. Otherwise, if we hurt you, what's the use of us all being alive?"

?”

Min Tingke smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen." He gently opened the car curtain, glanced at the horse bandits holding torches and surrounded the convoy, and whispered to Chang An, "Go and call their leader.

People come here."

Chang An's expression changed, "Sixth Master..."

Min Tingke said, "Just go and call."

Chang An had no choice but to walk up to the horse bandit team and said in a deep voice, "Our sixth master invites your leader to come over and speak."

The team of horse bandits suddenly became noisy. After a while, a man in black riding a black horse slowly came forward and said, "Just tell me if you have anything to say. It's rare to catch such a big fish. If you don't shed some blood, I will

I will definitely not let you go, no matter what I say, it will be useless."

The horse bandit laughed loudly and was very arrogant.

Chang An led the man in black to the carriage and said in a low voice, "Sixth Master, I've brought you here."

Min Tingke said ‘hmm’ and said, “Let him get to the car.”

Although Chang An was puzzled, he didn't dare to say anything. He stood aside and made a "please" gesture.

This time, the horse bandit hesitated. He said nervously, "What does this mean? Is there any mechanism in the carriage? Do you want to subdue me and then threaten the brothers to retreat! I tell you, don't have any wishful thinking. Today

Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape unscathed."

Min Tingke said coldly, "You are still the one licking blood on the tip of a knife. What can you do with such a little courage?"

The horse bandit was provoked by him and feared that he would lose his prestige in front of his brothers. He jumped off his horse and quickly got into the carriage.
