In the dim night, the iron spears of Qin soldiers shone with cold green light. Under the ancient city walls, the moonlight reflects the desolation of the border.

This place is the Xiongguan and Xiaoguan in the northern part of the Qin Dynasty!

At a passage under the city tower, a group of soldiers gathered together in groups of three or three. Judging from the situation, they did not look like soldiers on patrol.

Suddenly, deep in the night, where there were no sight, there were dull sounds of horse hooves, accompanied by the pleasant sound of bells, soon, a caravan appeared, with several tall horses lumped in several open carriages, and large bamboo baskets were placed on the carriage, containing some cloth, tea leaves, etc. The wheels of the carriage were carved with deep trajectories on the ground.

There were more than a dozen escorts, all of them wearing Hu clothes.

"Oh? Come."

A soldier said, "General, it should be the Teng family's caravan!" After saying that, his eyes emitted a strange light.

Why, although Teng is a medium-sized tribe, he is rich!

The general called a general is actually just an officer. At this moment, it is naturally because he brings the soldiers under his command to earn a lottery ticket for convenience.

You know, under this majestic pass, he was extremely desolate. He had been stationed for many years, and whenever a caravan passed, he could naturally make a fortune by using it.

In fact, the trade between the Huns and the Qin Dynasty had not yet been completely opened.

Even if there is, negotiations were conducted only at a specific time and at part of the tribe.

There had been an agreement between the Daqin and the Teng clan that neither side could attack the caravan.

But why did the caravan not take the road and take this path after clearly signing a contract?

Of course, it is because when trading on both sides and walking on the main road, in addition to paying a lot of taxes, the identity of the accompanying people must be thoroughly investigated and the origin is clear, and someone must also protect it, because no one can guarantee that one of the caravans may be a spy.

In the caravan, Tengebu leaned on the carriage and picked up the wine bag in his hand and took a big drink.

"Tenger, there is nothing strange about this. The people of the border guards of Daqin often exchange goods with merchants outside the guards for goods. Such exchanges have never been interrupted. After all, war and people's livelihood do not conflict, and no one can stop the private transactions between the people in the two places."

Su Jie nodded and expressed his understanding: "What he said is that fighting is for the interests of the country, and trade exchange is for the livelihood of the people. The cultural exchanges between the two countries are integrated with each other. Besides, there is no fish when the water is clear. Although these Qin soldiers violate the national laws, they have made some conveniences."

Tenggebu was quite surprised to see Su Jie's words. He always thought that this general should be particularly angry.

Then a hint of joy surged in his heart and threw the wine bag in his hand over: "Tenger's words are so good. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. In your Zhongyuan words, you are wise!"

Soon, the convoy approached this passage!

The generals led the team stopped the convoy. Before the leader of the caravan could speak, they ordered people to start checking next to the piles of carriages.

After about a moment, five or six soldiers returned to the general, "General, no problem!"

At this time, the leader of the caravan said, "Dear General, we are from the Teng tribe. Today, we will use the general's hand to make it easier. The carriage is covered with some tea silk cloth. The general can check it out! These guards are also from my Teng tribe. The list is here. The general can compare with the list of personnel we had when we entered the pass before!"

The general nodded and did not go into it. After all, this was not the first time Teng's family has come here.

"Then have you prepared the tokens from the aisle?"

The leader smiled and said, "This is natural!" After saying that, he took out a package that had been prepared from his cuffs. Su Jie narrowed his eyes and looked at it, not knowing what it was!

The general weighed the boss with his hand, "Yeah, it's not bad! Go over."

As the general ordered, the convoy slowly headed towards the outsiders of the pass. The leader and the guards nodded repeatedly, and each of them gently pushed the carriages and horses forward carefully, fearing that they would annoy the Qin army and be killed unjustly.

The Qin army soldiers watched him disappear under the night, and the general threw away the list given by the leader of the Teng caravan far away.

A soldier suddenly asked, "General, don't you check it out? What if there is really a spy?"

"Hmph, you know nothing. Since the Great Qin and the Huns outside the pass engaged in trade, the Great Qin went to the Great Qin outside the pass to conduct trades ten times more than the Huns who came to the Great Qin. If you really want to arrest them, there will be more spies there than their cavalry."

"Hey, I remembered it. A few days ago, I seemed to hear General Meng's spy come to report, saying that the Teng tribe seemed to encounter some trouble, as if it was for a woman and a horse."

The caravan's journey to the tribe has been decided long ago.

Perhaps because the road is already familiar, there are fewer bumps when I am about to get up.

As soon as I left the customs, a strange style appeared everywhere.

Although the Teng tribe is located on the grassland, there is still some yellow sand on the grassland. If you continue to go north, it will be an endless desert.

Su Jie stood in front of the carriage, looking into the distance, allowing the light sand that was swept by the wind to hit the face.

The cold moon, wind and sand, under the huge desert, make people suddenly feel insignificant.

"The desert sand is like snow, and the Yanshan moon is like a hook! If there is no important thing on your side this time, you can stay here and see the scenery outside the border." Su Jie couldn't help but exclaim.

There are special people to control the carriages and horses, so Su Jie and Tengbu finally ended up having a leisurely life.

The sound of wind and sand is endless. The climate outside the border is extremely cold no matter what time it is, so Hu clothing is generally very wide, which can cover up the wind and sand and keep warm.

At this moment, the weather outside the border usually changes as soon as possible, and the wind is getting heavier and heavier.

The leader suddenly spoke, "The wind is too strong and I can't do it anymore. Why not find a place to shelter from the wind? How about speeding up the road when it's dawn!"

Since we couldn't do it, we naturally had to hide. Everyone worked together to find a hillside to settle down. This place was a difficult topic. After waiting for the wind and sand, everyone started a fire and immediately warmed up a lot.

"I guess I can't leave tonight. Let's have a good rest and go on a journey tomorrow."

"nature!"

Everyone drank some spirits and chatted casually. The wine was together. Soon, everyone started to rest.

A pile of fire left alone to rage in the wind and sand.

I don’t know how many hours passed, the wind and sand in the sky seemed to have entered a deep sleep.

The sky is already dark, and the desolation in the distance can fall into your eyes.

Step on...

The sound of galloping horses trampling on the land, even those who are sleeping can be awakened, let alone these businessmen walking around every year.

The guards, Tengebu and Su Jie couldn't help but open their eyes alertly.

Not far away, a team of more than twenty cavalry rushed towards them, with rolling sand and dust floating behind them.

Everyone looked at it, and suddenly, their expressions varied and said, "No, it's the cavalry of the Linhu tribe!" The totem on the war horse exposed the identity of the cavalry.

"How did they come here?"

The Linhu tribe was located east of the Teng clan, separated by a grassland, and a large number of cavalry appeared, which was definitely a plan.

Soon, the cavalry leader Yuma came to the caravan.

"Are you Teng's caravan?"

The leader carried a bow and arrow on his back, a short knife inserted into his waist, a straight knife on his ribs, and a armor caused by animal skin. He had a fierce and unkind look on his face.

Although there are guards in the caravan, they are only equipped with straight swords to prevent thieves from using them. Faced with these fierce cavalry, they can be said to be vulnerable, and the Linhu tribe cannot send only a few dozen people here.

Suddenly, Teng merchants were sweating coldly behind their backs. The leader stepped forward and said, "Warriors, we are Teng merchants. We have just left the Qin Dynasty and brought these supplies back to the tribe. We have no intention of offending Warrior Lin Hu. We hope the warriors will let us go."

Suddenly, more than twenty cavalrymen burst into laughter, "You old man, you are so good at speaking. I believe you already know our identity now. Let me tell you the truth. Your Shanyu is about to become the woman of our Lin Hu Shao Shanyu. Your Teng family's things are naturally ours. For your Shanyu's sake, today, let's spare your life, get out, and keep the horses and goods."

"This..." The cavalry's words made the Teng clan people feel resentful!

Su Jie observed coldly on the side that it was ordinary for the Hun tribes to rob each other.

The people of the Huns are not only cruel to the Gentiles, but also to their own people!

But I could hear that they coveted the female sanyu of the Teng tribe.

When Su Jie heard this, he suddenly thought: "Why are there still women's sanyu?"

Tengebu and some young blood guards were not afraid at all. As soon as the cavalry finished speaking, they even showed their weapons.

He secretly praised the bloody nature of these Teng clans: "No wonder the Huns can become powerful."

Seeing the reaction of the Teng clan, the cavalry was stunned and laughed: "Don't give you a chance to live. If you insist on dying, I will fulfill your wish and let you meet your old Shanyu."

"Warriors, don't, I'll give it to you all!" The caravan leader had to compromise when he saw the cavalry leader ordering them to kill them.

"Hmph, it's too late! Men, kill me!"

For a moment, more than twenty cavalry rushed over and shouted excitedly.

"Tenggeer, protect yourself and never have any trouble. If anything happens, I will cover you and leave first!" Tenggebu said seriously at Su Jie.

Lu Buwei would not tell him what Su Jie's ability was. Tenggebu knew how much there was in the caravan at this time.

The cavalry rushed over, and the guards pulled out shields from under the carriage, and the straight sword in their hands showed them, vowing to fight life and death with the cavalry.

The cargo on the carriage was immediately washed away by the cavalry and spilled all over the ground.

Tengebu stepped on the carriage, jumped high, and chopped towards a cavalry's head.

One of them took advantage of the momentum and the other used their own strength to see the heights immediately. The cavalry rushed Tenggebu and flew out in one fell swoop.

The other guards were also knocked down one after another and were immediately surrounded by cavalry.

"Hahaha, it's vulnerable. How can the Teng tribe rely on to protect your Shanyu? It's better to hand her over to our Linhu tribe and kill them!"

Tenggebu fell to the ground, his eyes turned black, and he almost breathed. At this moment, he looked at Su Jie who was cold-eyed and said, "Tenggeer, go quickly."

After saying that, he used all his strength to chop a cavalry's war horse. As long as he made a gap, Su Jie could escape with his horse.

"Baby, I want to kill my war horse, I won't kill you first!"

With a straight knife, Tengbu fell into nothing. With an instant, you should cut Tengbu's throat directly!

Tengebu glared at his eyes and said to himself: "It's over!"
