Chapter 776 Master, you can’t do that!
Or maybe she didn't think it through.
All the work was in vain, and I could only watch so many horses escape.
Xiangdong came to Jiang Lianzhu's side and said, "Princess, it seems that we can't catch them all. We can't spread them too thin."
Jiang Lianzhu hummed, "Let them escape, forget it. Let them all come back."
Xiangdong blew the whistle to retreat, and the soldiers who went to chase the horses returned in disappointment, feeling reluctant to leave.
It feels like the fat meat I had just got flew away, it's a pity.
"Damn, if these horses don't run away, we can share one..."
"Forget it. Now these captured ones can be used to carry the wounded on their way. That's fine. It's better than nothing. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to carry the wounded on someone's back."
…
At this moment, suddenly, black spots appeared on the edge of the desert and rushed towards them.
That's a human!!!
It’s the same as the horse thief just now!
They were all riding horses, fully armed, and looked very imposing.
Someone exclaimed, "It's over! Are we going to get another group of bandits?"
"Everyone, retreat quickly, retreat quickly, and protect the princess!"
…
Just now, Princess Fu'an drove away that wave of horse thieves by herself, which took a lot of effort. Now another wave is coming, and it looks bigger than the previous one. They are coming from all directions, while just now they were gathering together.
There might be more people in this wave, and they are most likely the helpers called by the horse thieves who escaped just now.
No matter how you look at it, it's not a good sign.
…
When everyone turned around and retreated, they discovered another strange phenomenon.
The new group of horse thieves did not rush towards them directly, but chased the escaped horses, intercepted the horses escaping in all directions, and drove all the escaped horses back without leaving a single one.
Jiang Lianzhu narrowed her eyes.
Some people don't understand this routine.
Xiangdong asked doubtfully, "My Lord Princess, this doesn't seem to be the same group of people as before? This group of people now are all masked, while the ones just now were not..."
Xiangxi said, "Then what do they mean by driving the horses? Do they want these horses? Do they want to rob us?"
General Yuan had already gathered all his soldiers, and they had gathered the horses they had brought back and tied them together with the supplies. Whatever they picked up was theirs and could not be returned.
"My Lady Princess, what should we do now?" This group of horse thieves seemed to be more powerful.
He was a general, and he could see that these people were well-trained and not just fierce. Compared to the one-eyed gang of horse thieves just now, they had fewer people but were stronger. Judging from their collective actions of driving their horses, they had a very high level of coordination, and this level of coordination could not be formed overnight.
So, he felt worried.
As for the group of people just now, the princess had gunpowder weapons and could defeat a hundred of them with one.
He had a hunch that this group of people would not give the princess such an opportunity.
They couldn't let the princess face it alone anymore.
Jiang Lianzhu remained motionless, her eyes fixed on the newly appeared group of masked horse thieves...
After a while, the group of horse thieves gathered all the horses, and a small number of them drove the horses over, while most of them stayed where they were. On the horizon, they looked like small dots, standing in standard and orderly positions.
That small group of people, about only a few dozen people, drove their horses towards where Jiang Lianzhu and the others were.
The horse thief leader in the front was tall, wearing a black veil and a black cloak, and his figure was as straight and upright as a pine or cypress.
He stopped at a safe distance from Jiang Lianzhu.
Everyone on Jiang Lianzhu's side was a little dumbfounded.
Why does it feel like this group of horse thieves have no hostility towards them?
Or do you think that with just a few dozen of them, we can handle them all?
Some people don't quite understand the tactics of these horse thieves.
"Brothers, what do you mean?"
The masked man in the black cloak who led the group spoke up, "Our boss heard that the Da'an Kingdom's marriage procession was passing through our desolate desert, so he came here specifically to pay his respects. He has no ill intentions, but simply wants to establish friendly relations with the Da'an Kingdom. We've also driven these horses here for you, as a token of our goodwill."
The lame guide suddenly understood. "I know. They're the most powerful and powerful horse thieves in the desert in recent years, the Phantom Black Turbans! They'll take anything they want, but they don't rob innocent poor people or caravans. Sometimes, they even provide free escort for poor caravans. There used to be more horse thieves in the desert, but they've been swallowed up by them in the past two years, leaving only two or three groups left."
Ghost black face towel!
These words made Jiang Lianzhu's mouth twitch and she wanted to laugh.
After hearing the guide's words and considering the actions just now and the words of the masked man in the black cloak, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This is still a moral bandit!
It's not about killing innocent people.
Jiang Lianzhu chuckled and said, "Thank you all for your kindness. Xiangdong, send someone to bring all the horses over."
"yes."
Xiangdong led his soldiers to carefully lead the horses.
He was still a little wary, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he successfully brought back all the horses that had just escaped from the group of black-masked horse thieves.
It doesn't feel real.
How can such a good thing happen?
The bandit leader spoke loudly again, "I believe you must be the Lady Fu'an of Da'an. Forgive us for being late and causing you to be frightened by the One-Eye gang. We, the leader, feel deeply sorry for this and are willing to escort your Da'an Kingdom's marriage party across this desolate desert free of charge. We guarantee that we have no ill intentions towards them."
Jiang Lianzhu nodded slightly, "Okay, take me to see your boss."
When these words were spoken, both sides were stunned.
Xiangdong and Xiangxi were stunned. "Princess!! Master, you can't do that!"
General Yuan also strongly disagreed. He didn't know anything about it. Just because they helped to drive the horses back, he should believe their words?
Is the princess too credulous of strangers?
The masked horse thieves were also stunned. They were planning to explain a few more words, but if that didn't work, they would pass the token given to them by their boss to Jiang Lianzhu to see, and then invite Jiang Lianzhu to come over for a talk.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lianzhu believed them so quickly and even took the initiative to ask to meet their boss!
