Under the escort of several personal guards, Xie Guini and his group of about ten people ran for who knows how long. It was not until they were exhausted that they stopped to take a breath.

It was the hottest time at this time, and Xie Guini and his party were thirsty and tired after running for a long time.

Unfortunately, they all escaped in a hurry, and no one had food with them.

In desperation, Xieguini had to ask people to go nearby to see if there was any water source.

At this moment, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.

Xiegui Ni was already frightened, and he was so frightened that he wanted to get on his horse.

"Sir, we are not pursuing soldiers, only one person."

The guard was busy, so he looked back and reminded him quickly.

Hearing this, Xie Guini turned around and saw that there was a man and a horse chasing after him.

It doesn't seem right to say it's chasing.

The rider had no intention of stopping and seemed to be planning to bypass Xie Guini and his party.

But the knight on horseback turned his head and glanced at Xie Guini and the others, suddenly said "Huh", and then walked back around.

The man tightened the horse's rope, and the horse's hooves as big as bowls stepped heavily on the grass, splashing mud.

Although he was on the run, the movements of the man and horse in front of him still made Xie Guini exclaim subconsciously:

"What a handsome horse!"

Then he looked up and saw who was not the manager of the caravan?

As the steward spoke, he turned over and dismounted. When his eyes swept over the people around Xie Guini, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes:

"Chief Xieguini, why is it you?"

Xie Guini also saw clearly who was coming. Who could it be if it wasn't the manager of the caravan?

Seeing that the other party was alone, he was slightly relieved, but he still asked warily:

"How will you be here?"

It was a good thing not to mention this, but when he mentioned this, the caravan manager was actually touched by something sad in his heart.

He sighed sadly:

"It's all fate. I worked so hard to get from Yinshan to Pingcheng, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape the war."

"All my goods were lost in Pingcheng!" The steward began to wipe away tears, "There were so many people here, but now I am the only one who has escaped."

"How will I explain what I have done when I go back?"

The more the steward talked, the more sad he became. In the end, he ignored his manners and started to cry loudly.

Xie Gui Ni fled Pingcheng for no apparent reason, and there was no place for the evil fire in his heart.

At this time, seeing the steward like this again, I felt very impatient and shouted:

"Stop howling!"

The steward was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth.

Xie Guini looked at the handsome horse beside the steward and thought that this guy was not much better than the woman. He would only cry when something happened. It would be a pity for such a good horse to fall into his hands.

People on the grassland all like horses, especially when they meet a good horse, they will treat it as if it were their own life.

At this moment, Xie Guini wanted to reach Yanmen Pass as soon as possible. If he had such a good horse, wouldn't he get twice the result with half the effort?

The steward was also a man with clear features. When he saw Xie Guini's expression, he seemed to know that his situation was not good, so he quickly found something to say:

"Is Leader Xie Guini planning to go to Yanmen Fortress?"

Xie Guini was surprised: "How do you know?"

The steward laughed dryly:

"To be honest with the leader, I also plan to go to Yanmensai and then go to Taiyuan from there. When I came here to sell goods, I had dealings with the Liu family in Taiyuan, so I have some friendship."

"This time, I just want to join the Liu family. After this period of military chaos, I can find a way to get to Guanzhong from Hedong and return to Liangzhou from Guanzhong. It will be much more convenient."

Taiyuan Liu family?

Xieguini was not impressed. After all, the people in Taiyuan were all Huns.

Each of the five Xiongnu commanders was named Liu.

Even the Huns have the surname Liu. One can imagine how many families in Taiyuan have the surname Liu.

The Xianbei people were originally slaves of the Huns. Later, the slaves became the masters of the grassland. However, the Huns could only huddle in the Taiyuan area and linger on.

The slave not only took over everything that belonged to the master, but even sat on the master's head.

The Huns are crazy if they can keep their minds balanced.

This is also the reason why the State of Wei felt free to place the Xianbei people in Yanmen County.

Because even if the Xianbei people wanted to go south, they had to get through the Huns first.

Xie Guini didn't seem to pay attention to what he was saying. Instead, his eyes frequently fell on the steward's horse.

The steward couldn't help wiping his forehead, as if he was sweating a little.

When he saw that Xie Guini and his bodyguard were both a little embarrassed, his eyes lit up and he quickly took off the bag from his horse:

"Chief Xieguini, I see that some of you are a little tired. I still have some food here. Do you want to eat something before we go on the road?"

"Is there something to eat?"

When Xie Guini heard that the steward actually brought food, his attention was immediately attracted, and the idea of ​​robbing the horse was immediately put aside.

"Yes, yes, but it's not a delicious food. Chief, please don't dislike it."

As the steward spoke, he handed several people small bags containing dry food and a water bag.

It’s good to have something to eat at this time, so there’s no room for being picky?

Xie Gui Ni opened the grain bag and saw that there was something like bean flour inside.

After dealing with caravans for a long time, he naturally knows that this is the dry food that caravans often carry when traveling long distances.

He grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, then drank another sip of water.

The dry food is indeed not very tasty. Although it is sweet, it also has a slight bitter taste, as if it is mixed with coarse sugar that has a bitter taste.

However, Xie Guini hadn't eaten a bite since he woke up in the morning, and then ran all the way, so he was already hungry.

At this time, he even felt that this dry food was more delicious than the barbecue he had eaten before.

Several personal guards also followed suit and couldn't wait to pour a few large mouthfuls of water into their mouths, and then took a few mouthfuls of dry food.

After a while, the food and water brought by the steward were all divided up.

The dry food was very satiating, and I burped after passing out the mud.

Then his eyes finally fell on the steward's horse again.

Men in the grassland do things openly and aboveboard. If you want to steal a horse, you must steal it.

Even if you give me food, I will still grab it after I have eaten enough and regained my strength.

"This horse is good."

"Does the leader of Xieguini like it?"

When the steward heard this, the smile on his face was uglier than crying, and he said with great pain, "If the leader likes it, feel free to ride it."

Hearing this, Xie Guini was a little surprised: "Send it to me?"

"Yes, the so-called BMW gifts heroes, the leader pleases."

The steward held on to the bridle with great reluctance and handed it to Xie Guini.

Xiegui Ni was overjoyed. He originally wanted to kill this man and then seize the horse.

I didn't expect that the other party was so knowledgeable, so let's just leave him alive for the time being.

He hurried forward and wanted to get on his horse.

I don't know whether it was because I had run for too long that my blood was sluggish, but my legs felt a little weak for a while. I stepped on the horse pedal twice before I managed to get on the horse.

As soon as he sat down on the horse, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning. He couldn't sit still and fell off the horse on the spot.

"grown ups!"

The guards were shocked and were about to rush forward to help Xie Gui Ni.

Unexpectedly, after running only two steps, I heard a few "plop-plop" sounds. Their hands and feet were all weak and they fell to the ground unable to get up.

The steward laughed, clapped his hands, and shouted: "That's right! That's right!"

Xie Guini endured dizziness, was horrified, and shouted:

"what happened?"

"Of course the dry food is mixed with anesthetics."
