Chapter 1 The Big Thief (Fifth Shang) "Am I still alive?" Li Xu moved his little fingers lightly, not sure of the answer. The soft cushions under his body were like grass, and the warmth on his face might also come from the sun. He secretly
I opened my eyes just a slit, and the washed blue sky suddenly squeezed in through the gap in my eyelids.
The unique clear sunshine on the grassland told him that this place was still alive. "I'm still alive!" Li Xu let out a silent cheer in his heart. He quickly tightened his skin to test his limbs, and found that there was no feeling of restraint on his body, only a feeling of fatigue.
The soreness at the end makes one unable to do more movements. This is an exciting burst of soreness. At this time, it at least proves the fact that it has not fallen into Ashina Choyu's hands.
With his eyes slightly closed and still in a state of slumber, Li Xu tried his best to recall what happened to him last night. Memories came back like a flood, making his heart ache. He remembered that Xu Dayan was running for his life in order not to drag him down.
, jumped into the grass after stabbing Heifeng. He still remembered that he lit the lake blue gown on fire, trying to attract the attention of the pursuers. He also remembered the song that he improvised last night, provoking the Turks everywhere.
Human taboos He remembered that the Turks chased him into a dark valley and vowed to catch him and light a sky lantern. He smiled, and a line of tears rolled down the corners of his eyes and fell on the grass...
"Man, wake up when you wake up, why are you crying!" A rough voice came from above his head, which made Li Xu tremble and open his eyes as fast as possible. He saw a young man about the same age as himself biting
A straw stick, with a black and yellow face full of contempt
"Do it in the morning, it will drip out on your own!" Li Xu's face turned red and he quibbled in a low voice.
"Crying means crying, laughing means laughing. What are you afraid of admitting? You looked like a good man when you went against the Turks last night. Why did you become so shameless when you woke up?" The young man spat on the ground with all his strength.
He took a sip, but failed to spit out the grass dregs. The green liquid formed a bright streak on the corner of his mouth...
Li Xu looked a little disgusted. He held the handle of the knife and tried to sit up. The soreness in the back of his neck instantly took away all the strength in his body, forcing him to collapse again.
"Start slowly. Brother Niu was a bit heavy yesterday, but it doesn't matter. Let Lao Zhang give you a few massages and I'll make sure you're more energetic than before you fainted!" Seeing Li Xu make a fool of himself, the young man softened his tone and stepped forward to help him.
I gave him a hug and comforted him in a low voice.
"Brother Niu, Lao Zhang?" Li Xu took the young man's arm and slowly sat upright. This time, he finally sat up, and part of the lost memories slowly returned to his body as his blood flowed smoothly.
My last memory of last night was that I was chased by Turks into a canyon, and then I heard someone ordering me to stop my horse quickly. Just when I thought I was ambushed and was about to draw my sword, there was a sudden sound of wind behind me, and then
, Li Xu knew that he had fallen from his horse. Before he fainted, he vaguely heard the sound of arrows piercing the air...
Li Xu turned his dizzy head and looked around. The valley last night was not far away. It was an east-west valley sandwiched between two hills. It was at the junction of Yanshan Mountain and the grassland. This kind of valley is the only one that can be seen everywhere.
The difference is that all the rocks in the valley in front of you are dark black, and there is a faint smoke coming from the gaps between the ugly stones. Obviously, someone set a fire in the valley last night
"Don't look at it. The people who are chasing us are all dead. Liu Village Master and his men do business and never leave the other party alive." The black-faced young man shrugged and said
"We?" Li Xu felt even more puzzled that the guy next to him who liked chewing straw sticks was familiar with him, so he quickly regarded himself as his accomplice. He said he was the leader of the village, and he was a trader. I'm afraid his background was not that good.
good kind
"Of course it's us. You set fire to Ashina Queyu's village, stole other people's horses, and killed people to seize the house. Don't you want to take responsibility for these things?" The black face spat out another ball of grass residue,'
Yin' said with a smile
Li Xu never expected that Hei Lian knew everything he had done. He was even more shocked and widened his eyes as he looked around for Hei Feng, but found a huge herd of horses not far away.
A group of horses, apparently no less than three hundred, were looking for food leisurely on the grassland with their heads lowered. Beside the horses, there were more than a hundred men in dirty clothes lying on the ground, each sleeping soundly. Heifeng was tied outside the horses.
, there was a man with a very ordinary build, who looked like a charlatan, applying medicine to the horse's butt. There was also a tall and burly man, a salesman, and a hunter wrapped in an animal skin, who were walking towards him.
"It was you who set the fire!" Li Xu shouted in surprise and jumped up from the ground with a somersault. He had always wondered why the torches on the tails of more than a dozen war horses caused such a big fire. It turned out that someone was secretly setting fire to the fire.
After pouring a bucket of oil, no need to ask, the hundreds of war horses in front of me were stolen by this group of people from the camp of Ashina Choyu. If you and Xu Dayan kill people and seize the door, it is equivalent to opening the door for this group of horse thieves.
clear the way
"It's not us, it's us. We couldn't find a chance to do it, but you, the distinguished guest, set the first fire in the master's house. So, we helped you make the fire bigger. As for these horses, stealing one is stealing anyway."
"Stealing from a group is also stealing..." The dark-faced young man shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.
After a few words, Li Xu became so angry that he turned pale. It was true that he set the fire, and it was true that he stole the horse and seized the door, but it was all in order to get rid of Ashina Queyu's forced stay. After the horse thieves made such a fuss, he himself
Completely becoming a "villain" who set fires and stole horses, Ashina Queyu mobilized half of the grassland forces to chase him. Not only was he not bullying others, but he also had the moral upper hand.
"Tsk!" The dark-faced young man was very sensitive to see through Li Xu's true thoughts from his expression. The smile on his face immediately turned cold, he sneered and scolded mockingly: "Why, looking down on the uncle is a horse thief, isn't it?
I am a thief, but at least I did what I was expected to do. Some people are not thieves, but they are worse than thieves when they do what they do!"
"You!" Li Xu was so angry that he couldn't speak. His hands were trembling and he wanted to pull out the knife from his waist, but the other party's accomplices were getting closer and closer.
"Why, you want to have a fight with me. That's it. If you can't deal with it, I'll cut off the guy who talks to him. From now on, he will never talk about his grandma again. I said that no scholar is good, but Brother Liu
I want to save you!" The dark-faced young man spat out the last mouthful of green spit, jumped back, picked up an iron fork for picking up cow dung, and pointed the stinking fork tip at Li
Asahi's throat
"Heizi, don't deliberately tease people!" Someone in the distance shouted in a low voice. The tone was not serious, but there was a faint majesty that could not be rejected.
"He wants to kill me and silence me!" The black-faced young man took two steps back and put the iron fork on the ground angrily.
Li Xu put his hand on the handle of the knife and turned his head, and saw that several horse thieves' accomplices had come to him. The one who ordered Heizi to stop was the strong man among them. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and walked calmly, just like a normal man in ordinary times.
Xu Dayan's smile only has a calmness and calmness after experiencing many hardships, which is completely different from Xu Dayan's friendly and enthusiastic smile.
"This little brother is the famous Wolf Guard Fu Li in Xia Yongzhou. I had the honor to meet the young hero!" The man dressed as a businessman walking to the left of the strong man greeted him with a smile. He was not tall and had a natural talent.
Judging by his amiable appearance and attire, he should be a small businessman who travels all year round. He only has an extra cowhide belt around his waist. On the left and right sides of the belt are two sheathed daggers.
"My name is Li Xu. Thank you for saving my life!" Li Xu instinctively turned to the side, then clasped his fists in return. After being deceived too much, he was very sensitive to the smiles of strangers. The more enthusiastic they smiled, the more enthusiastic they were.
, often making him more wary
"Haha, Lao Zhang, I don't want to talk to you at all!" The young man known as Heizi smiled and challenged. It seems that he is not only having trouble with Li Xu, but also has a bad mouth that wants to provoke everyone he meets.
Zhang Liang, who looked like a small businessman, was not annoyed after hearing this. He smiled and asked Li Xu, "How is it? Does the back of your neck still hurt? Do you want me to give you a couple of massages? I don't know how serious it is for Lao You, but you can't do it."
Don’t blame him, the situation was urgent, and if I didn’t knock you unconscious, the entire arrangement in the valley would have been visible to the Turks!”
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, thank you, Brother Zhang!" Li Xu said evasively, a little uncomfortable with the other party's enthusiasm. When listening to the black-faced young man's introduction, he originally thought that the man who applied medicine to the war horse was the doctor, but he didn't expect that the person applying medicine to the war horse was the doctor.
The one who is good at massage is the businessman in front of him. No matter what, he saved his life. He couldn't slap his smiling face. Thinking of this, he turned around with a smile and made a bow, and asked the other two men: "I'm Li Xu."
, may I ask the names of these two brave men?"
"Um, Liu Jizhen! This is my friend Liu Hong, whose nickname is Hongji. It's really troublesome for you Han people to have two names!" The hunter with a piece of animal skin around his chest shouted at the top of his voice, as if he was afraid that others would not remember it.
own name
"In Liu Hong, Xia Yongzhou, brother Zi Hongji killed dozens of people, and he was killed by Lifu Khan. Do you have a cousin?" The strong man who had been listening to everyone with a smile arched his hands.
asked politely
"Shanggu Li Xu met two heroes. When he was studying in his hometown of Shanggu, his mentor once gave him a nickname, Zu Zhongjian!" Li Xu smiled and returned the courtesy. Liu Hongji's way of speaking was Li Xu's accustomed way of communication, which made people feel
Very comfortable. Based on the intuition he developed after dating Xu Dayan for nearly a year, Li Xu believed that this person should come from a wealthy family. The guy who spoke extremely loudly and wore animal skins was clearly a Turk. He couldn't see clearly from a distance.
Recently, those green eyes and full beard suddenly revealed his true identity.
Horse thieves, children of rich families, and Turks collude together? What do they do? Li Xu smiled and greeted everyone, but a cloud of doubt slowly covered his eyes in his heart
