Qiangba didn't know Zhiren, nor had he heard of Zhiren's name, but he was very familiar with Venerable Zhihao, and he also knew that Gao Chang was currently preparing for the annual birthday of Patriarch Bodhidharma.
Just now, Zhiren also proved his ability with his discussion on Buddhism, and he and Zhihao are both of the Zhi family, so Qiangba did not doubt it.
Zhiren smiled and said: "The shallow relationship at that time does not mean that there will be no deep relationship in the future. Donor, it is getting late, and the poor monk has to leave first."
Qiangba nodded regretfully again, but before leaving, he still asked: "Have you seen other convoys or cavalry on the road?"
Zhiren sighed and said: "Benefactor, the poor monk has never met before, and if he did, he would not tell you. We are already outside the world of mortals, but human life is a pity. I hope the benefactor will kill less evil in the future."
It was obviously a bad word, but Qiangba became more respectful. Instead of asking about the team and the horse team, he saluted solemnly and said, "Please don't mention me when your lord enters Gaochang."
Zhiren complied with a sigh, and said again: "This is a matter in your world of mortals."
So Qiangba let them go, and watched them go far respectfully on his horse. When they were far away, Qiangba turned around, gathered the men who had caught up and chose to go east, which was the direction Zhiren and the others came from. .
Qiangba said: "It was already late when we received the information, but if Jin Kuian and the others are chasing someone, they should be able to catch up a little ahead, let's go, let's go and see what treasures he has got. "
"General, didn't Jin Kuian only agree to join forces with us? Would he be willing to give us the treasure?"
"As long as we have enough people, it doesn't matter if he wants to."
Qiangba led the people along the way Zhiren and the others came from. After running for a while, he gradually felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but stopped his horse and looked back.
The sand dunes where he is located are relatively high, and a long distance can be included here. At this time, there is only one small spot left in Zhiren's team.
He narrowed his eyes, feeling a little uneasy, "Why is there only one monk with this venerable?"
His personal soldier said: "Perhaps monks are so valuable that he can't afford them?"
There are two types of monks in the Western Regions, one is ascetic, and the other is extravagant. Judging from this person's demeanor, it is obviously the latter.
The most powerful and wealthy eminent monks are protected by monks and disciples when they come in and out, and only those who are not so heroic but like ostentation will buy some slaves to serve them.
However, looking at the convoy that was condensed into a black spot and was about to disappear from their sight, Qiangba felt more and more that something was wrong. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he remembered something, "No, even one There are no yellow cloth strips, but they can ride one by one, and some can even ride two by one. They are just pretending, hurry up and chase... "
And long before he found out, after they had only walked a certain distance, Zhiren said to Zhou Man and the others: "Let them speed up, let's run quickly."
While notifying him, Man Bao asked him, "Have we been discovered?"
"No, but the poor monk thinks it won't be long." His eyes swept across the convoy, too hasty, and there were flaws everywhere, among other things, there were so many beautiful veils and satins on their cars, but there was not a single piece of them. The yellow one is really fake.
Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other, then jumped out of the car, followed by Daji and the guards leading their horses and running up to them.
The two got on their horses and ran to knock on Bai Erlang's carriage, "Come down and ride, throw Jin Kuian and Erge on the luggage cart, and let Yin and Changshou ride in the same car. Let's speed up."
So a carriage ran out of the train, and Jin Kuian and Erge, who were unconscious in the carriage, were dragged off and thrown onto the luggage cart.
Man Bao directly asked someone to throw away a few boxes on the luggage cart.
The guards knew that some of the suitcases contained stones and hay, although they didn't know which ones were and which ones were not, but since Miss Man made an appointment, they obeyed.
After throwing down two boxes, and throwing Jin Kuian and Erge into the car casually, everyone maintained the formation and continued to run.
Bai Erlang, Liu Huan, and Zhou Liru both got on their horses, trying to keep their speed under control and guarding the side of the convoy.
Keke suddenly said to Man Bao: "There are soldiers and horses in front, a total of about 1,500 people, and there are flags with the Chinese character Jin on them."
Man Bao was overjoyed, "It's ours!"
Just at this time, Nie Canjun warned the police and shouted: "They found out that they are coming, come, protect Master Zhou and let them leave, quickly—"
Man Bao looked back, and sure enough, the Tubo soldiers and horses who had been thrown away by them galloped towards them, and the billowing dust floated up, obviously finding something abnormal.
But the two sides have been going against each other for a while, and it is not easy to catch up.
All the carriages with seriously wounded soldiers left the convoy, and the three carriages of Mr. Yin and Mr. Zhuang and Wei Xingren also came out. Man Bao turned his head and glanced at Nie Canjun and the many soldiers who had slowed down. He gritted his teeth and kicked the horse in the stomach leave first.
The guards rode their horses to keep up, and a group of people guarded several carriages and ran slowly at the front of the team.
Zhiren kept sighing, their carriage was naturally included in the preferential treatment, fortunately, it was not a waste of effort to fight for half an hour and a long distance.
Man Bao turned his head and shouted at Nie Canjun, "Reinforcements have arrived—"
Nie Canjun didn't believe it, but when he looked up, he squinted and saw that there was indeed wind and sand in the distance. Although he couldn't see anyone, he could see the movement just like those Tubo soldiers.
Regardless of whether it is necessary or not, Nie Canjun simply yelled and shouted: "Everyone, rush in the direction of Gaochang, hurry up—"
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with them, Qiangba, who ran with all his strength to chase them, was even more convinced that they had been deceived, and was even more annoyed that these evil people used Buddha to deceive him, which is an unforgivable crime.
Seeing the distance getting shorter and shorter, some soldiers shouted, "General, they have reinforcements!"
It's a pity that Qiangba didn't listen at all, and continued to rush forward. The flag bearer only looked at Qiangba. Seeing the general rushing forward, he naturally rushed forward.
So the distance between the two sides is getting closer, closer and closer...
Seeing that they were close enough, Bai Shan said to Nie Canjun, "Cut off the luggage of the last three cars, give up the luggage, and keep out of the way..."
Nie Canjun had no time to question. Seeing that Bai Shan and Zhou Man were only a little ahead of them, he gritted his teeth and gave the order. The driver of the carriage cut the rope, and then nimbly jumped onto the horse's back and passed the front directly. The luggage cart ran away.
The soldiers behind were prepared, and immediately dispersed to avoid the falling boxes.
As soon as they dodged, the Tubo cavalry who were about to catch up behind them were stopped by the sudden appearance of the box, and some even accidentally fell off their horses.
