The few minor injuries he suffered during the day's battle were a bit painful, but they were not an annoyance. Asahi had suffered wounds like this many times and had long been accustomed to it. What he was worried about now was Yang Wu. If the guess was not
If it is wrong, while everyone was fighting with the Wagang Army, another group of bandits must have appeared in the direction of Yangwu. And the leader of the group was most likely Xu Maogong, a good friend who had lived and died with him.
"More than ten thousand brothers and General Qin are here, Master Zhang should be fine!" Seeing his general worried, Zhou Xing smiled and leaned forward to comfort him.
"Xu Maogong's ability to use troops is far superior to that of Li Mi!" Li Xu sighed and replied quietly.
Without Xu Maogong, the Wagang Army's combat effectiveness and adaptability were much worse than before. Xuzi didn't know whether he should be grateful for this or sad for this. God was merciful and did not allow him to draw a sword and face Xu Maogong face to face.
It was a life and death battle, but God arranged for Xu Maogong to deal with Zhang Xutuo. For Xu Zi, no matter who has an accident on either side, it is the greatest tragedy.
"So he won't be like Li Mi, who always likes to take uncertain risks!" Zhou Xing's opinions have always been unique, and this time he almost hit the mark. Li Mi's commanding style is like gambling. A big victory or a big defeat is just the difference between a big victory and a big defeat.
In the slightest moment, Xu Maogong used his troops carefully and carefully. When he was not sure of killing his opponent with one blow, he would never show his teeth easily.
"You are right, Xu Maogong has a long history of using troops to be steady!" Xuzi breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyebrows wrinkled slightly again, "You have observed Li Mi and Xu Maogong very carefully. I have heard of them before.
Are they?"
"I have been with you General for so long, I must make some progress!" Zhou Xing was stunned, then answered with a simple and honest smile.
"You talkative! You stand on the city wall for me all night, and I'll go down and stretch myself!" Li Xu smiled, punched his own soldiers, and cursed. After that, he turned and walked towards the horse path beside the city wall.
The horse path has been in disrepair for a long time, and dead grass is constantly growing out from between the remaining bricks, trying to trip people up. The soldiers ran forward and lit lanterns to prevent Li Xu from falling while walking on it, but Xu Zi's steps were slower than
They were much more steadier than they thought, and almost relied on intuition to bypass every pit and go straight down.
Xu Zi walked easily on the road back to the temporary residence. Zhou Xing's reminder was extremely correct. With Xu Maogong's caution, if the purpose was only to block the reinforcements, he would not easily challenge Zhang Xutuo. When he was on the side of the canal
After the news that the battle has ended, the Wagang Army will quickly withdraw. And Zhang Xutuo will not chase and kill easily. The coaches of both sides have a common characteristic, that is, they both take the lives of their brothers very seriously.
.
What made him feel even more relaxed was the feeling that came back the moment his fist hit Zhou Xing's body. He hit hard muscles. Only people who are on full alert would have a similar reaction. "Tell everyone's whereabouts."
People from Wagang are not Erya!" Xuzi grinned and let the firelight illuminate his young face.
I can finally have a good sleep tonight. The nightmare of being betrayed but unconscious in my memory has gone far. He walked through the silent streets with a smile, walked through the puddles with rippling starlight, and came to his temporary home.
In front of the residence, he found that Luo Shixin and others were all awake, smiling and waiting for him under the lamp.
"Is there any military information?" Li Xulu was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
"A man came to you in the middle of the night and said he was your old friend!" Luo Shixin came forward to greet him, his face full of gloating. After fighting a fierce battle and walking hurriedly in the rain for more than half an hour, this man actually didn't feel anything at all.
Tired. When I mentioned the word 'friend', my eyes immediately lit up, as if I had just dreamed of marrying a wife.
"Friend?" Li Xu's brows jumped up alertly. He didn't know who would risk his life to come to him in this chaotic moment, and he wasn't sure who he had such a deep friendship with.
"Maybe it's a liar, or it's a trick!" Xuzi speculated almost instinctively. Li Mi was beaten, but he still didn't give up. He still wanted to use the theory of destiny to fool himself. "When encountering this kind of
The bluffing guy will be beaten out, and the war will be chaotic. How can any friend risk his life to find him?"
"I don't dare to hit him. This person has a very big background!" Luo Shixin said in annoyance while ordering people to get Li Xu drinks and Xiaoye. "I asked people to arrange him to Xikuoyuan. There are four
The brother is looking at him. But thanks to the hard work, brothers, the battle is not so tiring!" As if he wanted to watch a joke, he did not say goodbye after the introduction, and sat opposite Li Xu with a smile, waiting for the master of the room.
Next action.
"Let someone bring him in, and let me see where this friend is from!" Li Xusu couldn't help Luo Shixin's shamelessness. After drinking half a bowl of wine, he ordered.
"General Li has an order, please hurry up and invite the distinguished guests!" After hearing this, Luo Shixin immediately walked to the door and shouted loudly. A series of chaotic responses sounded outside, mixed with intermittent laughter. Before Xu Zi could put the bowl in
After sipping the wine, the sound started again, and then there was the sound of a series of footsteps with wet shoes, and immediately after, the door curtain was opened high by the guards, and a smell of sweat and copper rushed into the house at the same time.
In an instant, Li Xu understood why Luo Shixin's smile was so weird. The visitor was dressed as an out-and-out Khitan rich man. In the hot weather at the end of June, he was covered with half a bear skin. A black bear skin.
Underneath, I don't know whether it is a yellow sheep or a camel. Layers of reddish-brown soft and hard leather are wrapped from the waist to the knees. Under the knees are a pair of high-waisted boots. It was obvious that they had been soaked in water on the way here. Every step they took, they were wet.
It makes a harsh "squeaking" sound.
"Distinguished friend, the great plum blossom in front of the Khitan King's Palace has been ordered by the princess to come to the Central Plains to thank you for your kindness. Please take a seat and accept the worship of the 200,000 members of my Yuling tribe!"
Seeing Li Xu, he quickly took a few steps forward, put his hand on his left chest, and bowed deeply.
The laughter around him became louder, and even Li Xu couldn't help but smile. The person dressed up was so weird, it was as if he was deliberately making a fool of himself. For some unknown reason, all the hair in the front of his head was plucked.
Guang, when he bowed, his green scalp was just exposed. It would have been better if all his hair had been removed, but this person had left a small braid on the back of his head and on each of his left and right ears. Each braid was tied with gold threads.
Cat's eye, agate, mutton fat, and ruby. When bowing, the three braids swayed back and forth, trembling and dazzling.
"Your name is Hebu Chen?" Xuzi's eyes were a little dazed either because of the sour smell of the visitor or because of the jewels and jewels. In his memory, he still had some vague impression of this name. But this person
They are definitely not friends. As for the Khitan Yuling Tribe, I have never heard of them.
"General Li is kind and kind. He saved my princess, Princess Yuling, from the sea of misery. I, the Yuling tribe, will never forget it in a thousand years..." Before Xuzi could ask questions, the visitor started to sing in a babbling tune.
It is graceful and long, and every word seems to contain deep meaning.
Luo Shixin and others covered their noses and mouths. Obviously, they had already watched the guests' singing and dancing. The reason why they insisted on watching it again was just to see how Li Xu responded.
"General Li did not love beauty, and he did not commit any crime against the princess. General Li was not greedy for wealth, and gave all his property to the princess. Year after year on the grassland, ewes gave birth to lambs, and mares gave birth to lambs.
A hundred strings of copper coins turned into thousands. The princess was looking forward to it, but General Li was nowhere to be seen..." The guest continued to sing regardless of everyone's feelings. But such an affectionate tone was overturned by this sour tone.
When a smelly man sings, it really gives people goosebumps.
The smile solidified on Xuzi's face little by little. The person who came here was not a liar. What he sang was all the truth. It was a past that Xuzi didn't want to think about and couldn't forget.
Before leaving Su Chuo's tribe, he handed over all his property to Ayun to take care of, and asked Su Chuoxir to personally acknowledge Ayun's freedom. The person who came here was Ayun's subordinate, and he came to repay his kindness.
Stuffing events from many years ago back into his memory.
"Okay, stop singing! Where is Ayun now and why did she become the princess again!" Xuzi suddenly waved his hand and said in Turkic language.
Changge paused for an instant. Except for the guests, all the people watching the excitement widened their eyes. They didn't know what Li Xu said, but they could tell that it was a foreign language, and the guests who were good at praying and chanting
Just enough to understand.
"Distinguished guest, do you really remember Ayun from the Su Chuo tribe?" The visitor replied in fluent Khitan, raising his head and revealing a pair of cunning eyes. "Back then, she was freed by your grace, and soon she was killed by her tribe.
She took her away and married her to Yu Lingyuan, the biggest hero in the eastern part of the prairie. She brought Han people’s shops, Han people’s living animals, and Han people’s methods of growing crops to the Yu Ling tribe, which made our Yu Ling tribe prosper!”
"Ayun married into the Khitan tribe? Are you He Bu Chen? The He Bu Chen who cheated me of my war horse and jewels, Pan Zhan Yang!" Xuzi suddenly remembered it, rushed forward, grabbed the opponent's neck with force, and spoke in Chinese
Yelled.
It was Pan Zhanyang, the same Pan Zhanyang who, together with Big Eye and himself, set fire to the Turkic camp. In an instant, it was as if the years were going back, and Xu Zi felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.
Back then, Big Eye and he, with the help of Pan Zhanyang, burned down the camp in Ashinachoyu. After escaping, Pan Zhanyang did not want to go with the two culprits, so he defrauded two horses and part of the way to travel eastward. This man even
Being clever, I must have deduced from clues that an important person from the Suotou Xi tribe was missing in Suchu. Since the Khitan and the Xi people are said to be of the same tribe, they would definitely send someone to meet him after learning about A Yun's whereabouts from Pan Zhanyang.
The next development can be imagined. Ayun from the Su Chuan tribe became the princess of the Khitan people, and Pan Zhanyang happened to win the favor of the princess with a bizarre experience. This kid was full of playfulness, and he was under the Khitan king's tent.
It's not difficult to get a high position. The small grocery store that Xuzi left in Suchuobu must have been moved to Yulingbu by Ayun who regained her freedom. Therefore, there were more merchants outside Suchuobu.
With the establishment of a sales point, the Yuling Department also gradually prospered with the exchanges with the people of the Central Plains...
Li Xu's arms were trembling, and his voice was also trembling. "Ayun went to Khitan, where are Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang? Where are they?" There had been no news from outside the Great Wall for a long time, and he thought he had forgotten all this experience.
But today I discovered that those memories are so fresh, as if everything happened yesterday.
He really wanted to ask Tao Kuo Tuosi, but he suppressed the name and kept it in his heart. It has been more than five years, and Tao Kuo Tuosi must have been married long ago. I wonder if her smile is still as bright as that day.
?
This man actually deceived General Li's war horse? The soldiers watching the excitement instinctively reached for their sabers. However, they did not see the slightest anger from Xu Zi's expression. On the contrary, at this moment, General Li's face was full of anger.
, not only the excitement of meeting old friends in a foreign country, but also many regrets that cannot be concealed.
"General Li, please show mercy, General Li. No, Pan Zhanyang is about to be strangled to death by you!" The stinking guest, dressed in rough clothes, protested intermittently.
"You deserve to die, why did you lie to me about my war horse and jewelry!" Li Xu spat with a smile, and pushed Pan Zhanyang hard onto the bench.
"As Changshengtian testifies, I just borrowed it back then and had no intention of not paying it back. You are now the richest person in our Yuling tribe besides the Great Khan. You have a thousand horses, three large flocks of sheep, and more than 400 people under your name."
A camel. Wang Kewang and Zhang Ji are still running another property under your name in Su Chuobu. In addition to the shop, there are also hundreds of horses and thousands of sheep. The princess said that as long as she finds you, she will send someone to take the two at any time.
The belongings in the ministry will be moved together and sent to you in the Central Plains! Therefore, you will not ask me for those two horses and a few broken stones again!" Pan Zhanyang sat upright and replied with a playful smile.
"Bah, you must be clear about the capital and interest today, otherwise, you will never get out of my handsome tent!" Li Xu slammed the table hard and shouted.
"That's not possible. I've traveled half of the Central Plains to find you! I've worn out several pairs of boots!" Pan Zhanyang protested loudly, covering the cowhide purse around his waist.
"Congratulations to General Li for getting rich! We will stay away for the time being and not disturb the general and the reconciliation!" Luo Shixin smiled and winked at the companions around him and led everyone to leave. Since Xuzi came to Qi County, few people have seen him smile.
I have been so happy like tonight. This happy mood has also infected many people, everyone's steps have become relaxed, and the stars above their heads have become brighter.
"General Li can actually speak Khitan!" After walking a few steps, a guard said in admiration.
"That's the Turkic dialect. General Li was ordered to buy horses in the Turks. Of course he can speak a few words in the Turkic dialect!" Luo Shixin replied loudly, sincerely proud of his companion. "It is said that he was only fourteen years old at the time and had thousands of dollars."
I walked down the road alone and was unscathed!"
He recalled that when he was fourteen years old, he boldly broke into Zhang Xutuo and signed up to kill the thief. "Back then, Zhongjian was the same age as me!" Luo Shi silently thought about the past with confidence, and unconsciously smiled all over his face.
