Chapter 524 I Don't Know Who I'm Waiting For
Chen Changan was stunned. What the hell? Amnesia?
Lao Ma said in disbelief: "Could it be that he is pretending to have lost his memory?"
"That's possible, but why would she pretend?"
Li Yuanhao asked back, and Lao Ma had nothing to say.
"Anyway, when she woke up, she kept speaking Xixia, asking how she got here and who I was. She was holding a steel knife in her hand and was obviously going to attack me."
Li Yuanhao shook his head and said, “I can only say that I am a businessman. I finally got out, and then crossed the desert back to the vast sea, begging her for mercy.”
"She asked a lot of questions, but I gave perfect answers to all of them, and then we parted ways."
Li Yuanhao said seriously: "I don't think it's fake, she just lost her memory."
Chen Changan looked at Lao Ma, and Lao Ma shrugged.
"Master, whether or not you have lost your memory, we have come this far. We can only move forward and cannot retreat."
Chen Changan took a deep breath and immediately sent out the scouts.
What Lao Ma said is right. We are already here now. No matter what, we have to take a trip to the vast sea.
No regrets in death!
Without his warhorse, Chen Changan could only move forward on foot.
After being ravaged by the desert, this pair of soldiers looked very similar to the Xixia people, and did not cause any waves.
We walked from morning to night, and suddenly Xu Polu from the front reported back.
"Master Chen, the Xixia tribe has been discovered!"
"Xixia tribe?" Chen Changan licked his lips. "How far away are they from us? How many people are there?"
"They are only thirty miles away from us. How many people are there? It seems like there are only a few hundred people." Xu Polu shook his head.
"A large tribe with hundreds of people?" Chen Changan obviously didn't believe it.
"It's true." Xu Polu shook his head and said, "Our people didn't get close, and we found about two or three hundred strong men."
“But the tribe is big, it’s true.”
Chen Changan was confused again. How could such a big tribe have only two or three hundred people?
"Master Chen, maybe... a tribal annexation has occurred."
Chen Changan frowned, and Li Yuanhao explained: "In the Xixia world, the rules of survival are simple and cruel. They are not like the Chu people, who still talk about morality and feelings. Everything depends on strength.
When Tribe A rushes out in full force to the battlefield, it is the perfect opportunity for Tribe B.
Tribe B will not miss this fleeting opportunity. It will quickly gather its forces and launch a surprise attack on Tribe A while its rear is empty. It has a clear goal and is determined to complete the annexation. "
Chen Changan frowned, and Li Yuanhao continued.
“Once they succeed in breaking in, the scene will be horrific.
The old men were killed without mercy, and the women and children were taken as spoils of war.
In their eyes, these women and children are labor, tools for reproduction, and symbols of victory.
Finally, only an empty tent was left, swaying lonely in the wind, as if telling the past story and witnessing this cruel tribal conflict.
Lao Ma shrugged: "Then why not set fire to it and erase all evidence of their existence?"
"I don't know, but it's probably to plunder resources."
Li Yuanhao shook his head and said, "In this land, resources are scarce, water, pastures, and food, each one is vital.
In order to compete for these resources for survival, the wars between tribes have never stopped. The strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive, which is the eternal law here. "
Xu Polu seemed to suddenly understand: "This... I saw that there seemed to be a lot of war horses in the tribe."
Li Yuanhao shrugged and said, that's it.
Old Ma shook his aching arm, raised his eyebrows and said, "Master, give the order? Let's fuck him?"
**An looked at Lao Ma, raised his eyebrows and said, "We can do it, but we must have a comprehensive plan. This is the capital of Xixia. If we take action and they run away, wouldn't that be courting death?"
"Who among us can resist the siege of thousands of troops?"
"What's the point? Aren't we here just to die?" Old Ma laughed.
"That's not what you said. We have to die meaningfully."
Liu Baizhong shook his head and said, "Master Chen, I have an idea. Let's take advantage of the night and have Li Yuanhao sneak up on us, get to the enemy's inner circle, and find out the situation first."
Chen Changan shook his head: "That's not necessary, it just takes some time to complete the encirclement of the reckless young man."
"Okay, follow my orders, I will go investigate personally."
"How can that be possible!" Liu Baizhong shook his head and said, "You are related to the life and death of our army, how can we let you put yourself in danger?"
"Is it dangerous?" Chen Changan shook his head and said, "You know I am Lord Chen, do the Xixia people know that?"
"Besides, I have two or three thousand soldiers here. Why should I be afraid of him?"
Liu Baizhong was stunned, it seemed that what Chen Changan said was not wrong.
The night was dark, like a thick piece of black silk, wrapping the earth tightly.
Chen Changan stood on a high place, his cold eyes swept over the people in front of him, his face looked particularly resolute under the moonlight.
"Six hundred young men are the first line of defense. Spread out in a fan shape. Be sure to stay alert!"
When the boys heard this, there was a fearless light in their eyes.
"Liu Baizhong, you lead the Ruishi Battalion as the second line of defense. Spread out and don't slack off at all!"
Chen Changan looked at Liu Baizhong with sharp eyes and gave a serious order.
Liu Baizhong stood tall and straight: "Yes, sir!"
He then led the soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion and marched towards the designated location in an orderly manner.
"Yuan Hao, Lao Ma, take a few people with you and go meet them."
Li Yuanhao nodded vigorously and headed towards the tribe with a dozen people.
As we got closer and closer to the tribe, the faint barking of dogs and the flickering lights in the tribe seemed to be telling of the unknown that was about to come.
I could vaguely see a flickering fire ahead.
When they got closer, the sight before them was eye-opening.
I saw a group of Xixia people gathered around a blazing bonfire, singing and dancing to their heart's content.
The light of the bonfire jumped wildly, illuminating everyone's faces red. The jumping flames sometimes jumped up and sometimes fell down, as if they were partying with everyone.
People's laughter and joyful chatter mixed together, creating a unique and lively atmosphere.
But to Chen Changan, these words were like incomprehensible scriptures and he could not understand a single word.
Suddenly, a sturdy Xixia man noticed Li Yuanhao and others. He stopped dancing, turned around and shouted towards them.
"Unnie, block me!"
The voice was high and loud, echoing in the night sky.
In fact, what he asked was: "Who are you?"
Li Yuanhao replied: "We are hunters. We went to the Death Desert to test our courage, but we were almost eaten!"
"Do you have any good wine or food? Give me some!"
Those who challenge the death desert are brave.
The Xixia people were not very alert. The key point was who could have thought that the Chu people had sneaked into the royal capital?
"Nizuli, Boerli is not lying!"
The Xixia people laughed loudly: "Brave people, come in, let's have fun together!"
Li Yuanhao took Chen Changan and others in, but saw that the Xixia people here were already drunk. Chen Changan and others pretended to be very tired and stood at the back of the crowd.
Li Yuanhao grew up in Western Xia and was familiar with many of their rules.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was almost midnight.
Chen Changan and the others were about to fall asleep, when Li Yuanhao suddenly walked up to them and said, "Master Chen, I have found out that these are King Lamor's men."
"Lamore?" Chen Changan frowned. Isn't he the prince of Western Xia?
Isn't it in the north?
"I asked them why they came here, but no one said anything. They just said they were waiting for someone here."
Li Yuanhao shook his head and said, "But I don't know who I'm waiting for."
