...

The three of them quickly ran towards the horse team in the distance. If they were lucky, they should be able to buy a few horses for transportation.

The horse team was hundreds of meters long, with at least thousands of colorful horses and more than a hundred carriages filled with goods. There were about a hundred knights riding on the horse's back.

The horse team found the three people who were approaching quickly, and divided dozens of riders to greet them. They looked at them vigilantly, shouting from afar: "We are the Alashan Left Banner Caravan, who is in front?"

Ou Chuyang slowed down to avoid causing misunderstandings from the other party, and then responded: "We are just passers-by from Yanzhou. I would like to ask you how many horses you can buy for transportation."

While discussing, the other party carefully examined the three of them. Seeing that they were all young handsome men and beautiful women, unlike grassland horse bandits, they relaxed their guard and asked them to go over, "You have to ask our banner owner about buying horses."

"Then please let me take us to meet the flag leader." Ou Chuyang and the other two followed the group of knights to the horse team.

The knights on the horse led the way in front, and many of them looked back at Mu Wanqing. Mu Wanqing was very displeased and took out a shawl to cover her face.

The banner owner received a report from his subordinates and greeted him in person, smiling generously: "Three friends who have come from afar, welcome to our Uratli prairie. May the eagles in the sky bless you with a smooth journey."

The banner owner is tall and strong, wearing a shiny fur cloak, which is very majestic.

Ou Chuyang stepped forward and reported his name, and then asked for a request to buy a horse. The flag owner agreed readily, "Batu, go and bring a few good horses to choose from for the three friends."

A young man with tall bronze skin responded and led a horse from behind the team. Ou Chuyang chatted with the banner owner again and learned that he was Bayin, the leader of the Alashan Left Banner of the Urat Li League, and Batu was his eldest son. They were rushing to transport the fur goods tanned during the winter break to attend the big gathering in the beginning of spring.

There are gatherings of varying sizes on the prairie every month and season. Each banner and tribe come from all directions to gather together, exchanging fur and horses for daily necessities such as salt and iron.

Bayin personally led a team to escort the goods to attend the large gathering held every spring. After a winter consumption, their tribe's living supplies have been exhausted, so this transaction is very important and cannot be lost.

While speaking, Batu came over with six horses and asked Ou Chuyang to choose. The grassland was full of good horses, and the horses that Bayin Banner Lord personally led the team to trade were even selected, and they were all extraordinary.

Ou Chuyang chose a tall and dark horse with a shiny black head; Mu Wanqing liked white, and chose a docile mare with pure white body without a trace of color; Hua Wushang chose a yellow horse to match him with a green brocade robe.

After choosing the horse, Batu asked someone to put a saddle and bridle on them. Ou Chuyang said, "We want these three horses. How much does it cost in total? You can pay the bill with amethyst."

"Amethyst? Of course." For Yuanzhou, which lacks cultivation resources, amethyst is a rare thing and is very popular. Bayin laughed and said, "You have a good vision. You all choose the best horses here, and you can only count as thirty amethysts in total."

There is really no need to bargain with dozens of amethysts. Ou Chuyang took out the amethyst and was about to pay the bill. A sudden burst of exclamation came from the front:

"Horse thief! Horse thief is here!"

Immediately afterwards, a tremor on the ground, and a dense sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, and a black shadow appeared at the intersection of heaven and earth. From a distance, it looked a bit like the beast tide in Yanzhou. The sword light flashed and the murderous aura soared into the sky, making people feel scared.

Bayin didn't bother to collect the money, and immediately jumped onto the horse, drew his sword and shouted, "All the sword masters, gather at me and prepare for the fight! Others line up to protect the goods, hurry up!"

The horse team was very quick and quickly arranged the carriages into a circle to protect the horses and protect the horses. Eighty or ninety burly men held long horse poles in their hands to guard the inside of the carriage to prevent the enemy from rushing into the carriage. More than a dozen sword masters gathered beside Bayinbatu and his son, slowly forming a row, ready to attack.

"The horse thief is coming, the situation is urgent. Please let me do it yourself. You can leave by yourself or enter our car array for a while." Bayin said to Ou Chuyang and the other two with a serious expression.

The banner owner is quite righteous. Ou Chuyang suddenly felt fond of emotion and smiled, "It's okay, the banner owner should defend the enemy by himself, don't worry about us."

Seeing that Ou Chuyang and the other two were carrying swords, Bayin knew that they were safe and did not talk anymore. She raised the long sword in her hand and pointed it diagonally into the air forward, urging the horse to move forward slowly.

Batu and more than a dozen other sword masters also drove the mount to follow Bayin, forming a horizontal formation, and at the same time drew out the long sword and pointed it in front of them.

Although there were only a dozen people and a dozen swords, they formed into one, with a rainbow of momentum, just like the charge of the Mongolian cavalry, with a solemn lineup and extremely brave.

The vast grassland is indeed rich in heroes. Ou Chuyang exclaimed secretly, then turned over the horse, stretched out his hand and stroked his long hair on his forehead, and smiled and said, "Since we have met, we can't sit still, let's move our muscles and bones."

"Okay, I haven't really taken action after being promoted to the swordsman." Mu Wanqing floated on the back of the horse and followed Ou Chuyang.

"Protect Wanqing well and leave the others to me." Hua Wushang rode his horse forward, crossed Ou Chuyang, and walked in front.

Ou Chuyang smiled slightly, and did not intend to steal the limelight from Hua Wushang. After all, he is a powerful man in the heavenly level and is completely incomparable now.

"Alas--"

"Ula—"

The horse bandits made a series of screams and screams from afar, and rushed towards them with rolling smoke and dust. Ou Chuyang roughly estimated that there were thousands of horse bandits, including dozens of people wielding long swords, which should not be underestimated.

"Generally speaking, how high is the swordsman among the bandits?" Ou Chuyang asked Hua Wushang, he didn't want to underestimate the enemy.

Hua Wushang pondered: "The team of horse bandits with a scale of thousands of people should not exceed the Sword Sect's highest cultivation level. They are all famous bandit leaders above the Heavenly Level, and they will not easily come out to sweep and rob. "

"That's all up to you, come on!" Ou Chuyang smiled. With Hua Wushang, the gold medal thug, present, there was no need for him to use the bandits to practice swordsman.

Hua Wushang smiled proudly, with a look of "If you don't rely on me, do you rely on you?" and followed Bayin's pace closely.

Bayin led more than a dozen knights to gradually accelerate. When their speed reached its highest level, it was the moment when the two armies met and the swords faced each other.

The horse bandits on the opposite side seemed to have seen this kind of formation. They ran at high speed, and their formation was scattered without being chaotic. The swordsmen wielding their long sword gradually moved closer to the middle and faced Bayin and the others. The other horse bandits were divided to both sides, preparing to bypass the middle line and encircle the car formation behind them.

The battle between the sword masters is the key to determining the outcome. Bayin did not care about the safety of the car formation at this time, shouted loudly, and suddenly accelerated to rush towards the central group of the bandits.

"Kill!" Batu shouted with more than a dozen sword masters, followed Bayin and rushed forward with his sword.

"Kill!" A fierce sound broke out from the group of horse bandits opposite, and dozens of swordsmen rushed towards him in a fierce manner.

The two sides had already rushed within a hundred feet, and the decisive battle was about to begin.
