The merchants roared, and the caravans were immediately infuriated. Everyone in the caravans were as if they were facing a great enemy. They drew their swords and unsheathed them. They looked at Guan Luetti, who also drew their swords in their hands and shouted: "Don't panic for now! There should be no big problem with the young master Sheng and the fat brothers here to help. Let's form a formation immediately!" The merchants all leaned the camels together, and used five camels as a team, forming a twenty-two camels, so that the camels could stand in front and the tail to the back. Tang Jiusheng and others rely on the carriage and formed a defensive circle with Guan Luetti in Gaixin.

These sudden merchants formed a formation like well-trained cavalry, which inevitably made people look at them with admiration. Everyone could only hear the sound of horse hooves from afar, and the earth was trembling. It was obvious that a large group of cavalry attacked. The sudden merchants were all scared and pale. Guan Luetti stood in the center of the camp with a camel, looking forward with a serious look. Tang Jiusheng immediately stood beside Guan Luetti, with a plain expression and a slight sneering at the corner of his mouth. The sudden caravan had just set up the formation, and hundreds of cavalry came over the ground like a rush, roaring and rushing up with a strange sabre.

On the official road that was half-covered by the wild sand, dust smoke rose up, looking very spectacular. Everyone watched the bandits running towards him, panic, and the fat man wanted to rush out, but was pulled by Tang Jiusheng. Tang Jiusheng sneered: "What are you anxious about? You are the one who is hit by iron. These hundreds of horses will step on you into iron plates!" Tang Jiusheng glanced at Guan Lueti intentionally or unintentionally, and said calmly: "Look at it again, the one who starts first is not necessarily the strongest!"

The horse thief on the opposite side was still two hundred steps away from the camel formation. Suddenly, the horse bandits in front dodged to both sides, and dozens of horse thieves emerged from the middle, holding horse bows in their hands. After a sudden return, all the merchants screamed, "Bow and arrow, there are bows and arrows on the opposite side!"

Guan Lueti shouted, "Don't be confused! Everyone in front of them raised rattan cards to cover them!" Sure enough, more than 20 sudden merchants raised rattan cards on the camel in the front row. The fat man was very surprised. These merchants were still rushing with rattan cards? Tang Jiusheng had an expression that had already seen through everything.

When the horse thieves were still 150 steps apart, the first batch of feather arrows had already flew over, and the merchants in the front row all raised rattan cards to block them. The first wave of arrow rain, which was not as rain of arrows, was blocked, and only two or three thunder merchants were shot. After the second round of volleys of the horse thieves, three or five more merchants were shot. At this time, the horse thieves were less than fifty steps away from the camel formation, and they all replaced the sabers and rushed up fiercely. Tang Jiusheng held the scabbard in his hand and looked at Guan Luetti again.

When the two sides were fifty steps apart, Guan Luetti shouted loudly, "Brothers, charge!" The thunderbolt merchant rushed forward with a sabre, and both sides slashed each other. The combat power of the horse thief was obviously stronger than that of the thunderbolt merchant. Soon more than ten thunderbolt merchants were caught in the sword, and only one or two of the thunderbolts were slightly injured.

The horse thief on the opposite side yelled together: "Catch Guan Lueti alive!" The attack became more urgent.

When Tang Jiusheng saw that the two sides were fighting each other, it suddenly turned into a bad situation for the businessman.

Then he shouted: "Fatty, Tu Qiusheng, go!" Fatty, Tu Qiusheng and two other wolf men agreed in unison, and excitedly slapped out of the camel formation and rushed up. Four people, using Fatty as the forward, quickly tearing a crack among the horse thieves, preparing to capture the thief.

But what the four people did not expect was that the horse thief leader was not in the formation or behind the formation. The four people carved through the not-so-thick formation of the horse thiefs and cut down seven or eight horse thieves, but did not find the horse thief leader. So the four people turned the horse's head, killed them back, and chopped them wildly. The horses saw that the fat man and others were brave, especially when the camels were smelly in close combat. The horses didn't like this smell very much. The horses were impatient and whistled wildly, which was difficult to control.

The horse thieves felt that they could not hold it back, and some people whistled. The horse thieves turned their horses and ran away again. It was indeed a roar. Guan Luetti breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the horse thieves on the other side escaped. More than ten horse thieves were chopped down by fat men and others, and twenty or thirty of the merchants suddenly died and injured. The merchants hated the horse thieves very much, and all jumped off the camels and cut all the horse thieves who were not dead.

Guan Luetti urged Camel to come to Fatty and others, bowed to the four fat men and smiled: "Fatty brothers, brothers, I'm working hard! Thank you! If it weren't for the help of Fatty brothers, we wouldn't be able to leave today!"

The fat man said carelessly: "It's nothing, I'll have beef later!"

Guan Luetti came to Tang Jiusheng again and bowed, "Young Master Sheng, thanks to your servant's help today, otherwise we would definitely die at the hands of those horse thieves today. Let's go dozens of miles tonight and there is a dilapidated earthen city. I have a sworn brother living there. Let's rest there tonight. There is a city siege there, which can be safer! I am really afraid that these horse thieves will come to attack in the middle of the night!"

Tang Jiusheng nodded and said lightly: "Okay, you have the final say in your territory. We are foreigners and don't know much about this place. We have to follow you, the locals! You should take care of your injured brothers first!" Guan Luetti saw Tang Jiusheng's faint expression, as if he had any dissatisfaction with him, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to turn around and take care of his injured brothers.

Most of the sudden merchants who fell from camels were injured, but the injuries were minor and serious. If the injuries were minor, it would be fine. If the serious injuries were treated according to the circumstances, there were local doctors in the caravan and some medicine were added to these people to treat the wounds. The sudden return home was hot and afraid that the wounds would ulcerate, so it would be troublesome.

In this battle, seven or eight people died of the Shangshu, while sixteen or seventeen horse thieves on the opposite side were cut down to death, which was far beyond Guan Luti's expectations. Guan Luti shook his head and said, "If An Shiqing's child did not run away, he would have killed a few less people! Alas, this child is so willful!" Tang Jiusheng was chatting with Tie Dun next to the carriage, and the two were talking and laughing. Especially Tie Dun, probably because he returned to Tu's country, his mood was much better than when he was in the Shang Dynasty.

Leaving one down

After walking for more than forty miles, there were no more horse thieves coming to harass them on the road. It was obvious that they were afraid of being beaten by Fatty and the others. Tang Jiusheng rode his horse and chatted with Xiahou Lingyu, Tiedun and others. Anluoti also came over to chat for a few words, but only the fat man joked with a smile, adjusting the atmosphere.

After trekking along, I finally saw the Tucheng that Onoti mentioned belonged to his friend. It was said to be Tucheng. In fact, it was not made of soil, but made of stone. It was just earth-colored stone, so it looked like soil from a distance, so it got its name. This Tucheng was relatively old and was abandoned in the desert, about four or five miles away from the official road. When Onoti saw Tucheng, he immediately became energetic and pointed at Tucheng with his fingers, laughed and said, "Young Master Sheng, Fat Brother, Tucheng is Tucheng ahead, so we will be home!"

The fat man smiled and said, "That's great. So, Fatty has beef?"

Onoti laughed happily, obviously in a very good mood. "Fat brother, is this more necessary? You must be able to eat and drink well!" Everyone urged the horse and camel to head towards Tucheng. There were patrolers on the wall of Tucheng. Seeing this team from afar, they immediately became nervous.

Soon the suspension bridge in Tucheng was laid down, and someone rode out of the city on horseback, which was a hundred feet away from the caravan. He asked loudly: "Is Lord Guan Luetti here?"

Guan Luetti urged the camel to move forward and replied loudly, "I am Guan Luetti! Go and invite Brother Mu out of the city to welcome the distinguished guests. If there were no such distinguished guests, we would have buried our bones in the desert today!" The man immediately responded and went back to the city to report the message. Guan Luetti turned his head and looked at Tang Jiusheng, Fatty and others, and smiled and said, "Young Master Sheng, Fat Brother, my brother will take people out of the city to greet us soon!"

When the caravan was still half a mile away from the gate of Tucheng, a cannon sounded in the city, and a big man came out of the city to greet him. The big man came on a horse, and dozens of people followed closely behind. The big man shouted from afar: "Brother Guan Luetti! I miss you, brother, I have not met for several months!"

Guan Luetti was also very excited, urging the camel to move forward and chat with the big man intimate manner. Guan Luetti immediately introduced Tang Jiusheng, Fatty and others to the big man, and said to the big man: "If there is no young master of victory today, Fatty brother, we will probably find it difficult to meet!" He also said to Tang Jiusheng and others: "This is my sworn brother, and now the lord of this Tucheng, named Hu Beicong!"

Tang Jiusheng, Fatty, Xiahou Lingyu, Tie Dun and others bowed to each other. Hu Beicong enthusiastically sent everyone to the city. This team of more than 100 people entered the city with the city lord Hu Beicong. Guan Luetti suddenly asked again: "His second brother, did An Shiqing and Zhuerba come here?"

Hu Beicong smiled and said, "An Shiqing and Jurba have been here for more than an hour! An Yatou seems very angry, Jurba is urging her! I advised her but refused to listen. You can talk to her later!"
