On the Tule Grassland, the surrounding fields are completely white.
A group of sheep walked slowly on the snow. From time to time, a sheep lowered its head, pushed through the snow, and ate the moss and dead grass under the snow.
In the cold winter, this is one of the only food for the sheep.
"Mea"
A sheep pushed through the snow, screamed suddenly, and tossed its head back and forth, but could not pull the withered grass out of the snow.
"Bang"
A head suddenly appeared in the snow, covered in white snow. He pushed the sheep's head away with a slap, and a man stood out.
The sheepherder was startled, there was a monster under the snow!
No, it's a person.
"Take care of your sheep."
Wang Xiaoliu said to the sheepherder angrily. He looked up at the sky and saw that the birds hovering above his head flew away. This training failed again.
It's all this sheepherder's fault. Damn it, my mutton leg and mutton soup ran away again.
The shepherd cowered, wondering what the man was doing hiding under the snow.
"Damn it, we lost to the Bird Camp again today, they still eat the mutton."
Another voice sounded from under the snow, and then the snow turned. White shadows of people stood out from under the snow, looking at the shepherds with evil eyes.
The sheepherder was a little confused, what the hell, this is the first time, I just herd sheep.
This is a group of guards training on the grassland. The training subject this time is ambush in the snow. They can ambush in the snow without being discovered by the Feiniao battalion. They persist until the Feiniao retreat and the Imperial Guard battalion comes over. Unexpectedly, because of a sudden
Because of the sheep, it failed again.
Wang Xiaoliu wanted to beat the shepherd, but looking at the shepherd's appearance, he held back his anger.
Damn it, if it hadn't been for the commander's repeated strict orders not to disturb the people, I would have had to deal with this grandson today.
"Are you a trained guard?"
The shepherd leaned his neck and asked, as if he did not dare to approach Wang Xiaoliu.
Deputy Lieutenant Sun Shan cursed: "Damn it, let it go quickly, I'm just about to beat you up."
After the sheepherder confirmed their identity, he became more courageous, ignored his own sheep, and came over happily.
"You can do business with me. If you buy my sheep, you will have mutton to eat."
The sheepherder began to sell his sheep.
Xiao Liu looked at the sheep around him. They were all fat and strong. They would taste good when cooked in a pot.
Sun Shan swallowed: "Captain, where do you think we can go to get some salt seasoning?"
The sheepherder said happily: "I can help with it. I have the sheep slaughtering and roasting meat. I also have the salt. As long as you give me the money, I will get you the most delicious mutton."
Xiao Liu shook his head: "We have hundreds of brothers here, and you don't roast enough meat."
The sheepherder chuckled: "I can summon my brother over."
As he spoke, the shepherd kicked the shepherd's dog on its butt, and the dog quickly followed the path it came from. Not long after, several herdsmen came galloping over on horseback.
Sun Shan looked at the firewood and iron pot on the horse and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, your grandson knows how to do business."
The iron pot was set up and began to boil the melted snow water. The sheepherders also started to kill the sheep.
The sheepherder was busy and refused to take time off. He kept saying: "Sir, you don't know. I am almost selling out all my sheep. I can sell them without leaving home. I really appreciate you guys."
You're an adult."
The sheepherder said with a glowing face.
Sun Shan kicked the iron pot for boiling water: "We'll clean up the sediment in the water later. It's definitely not good for making soup."
The sheepherder responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, sir, that pot is used to melt snow. You guardsmen love to keep things clean. We all know it. We know it."
"Do our guardsmen love to be clean?"
Sun Shan glanced at the shepherd and asked curiously: "What, who else has your kid sold mutton to?"
The sheepherder chuckled: "The soldiers from the left army, the right army, and the center army have all eaten my mutton."
"They all come out of the snow and are picked out by my sheep. Then they become just like you, dejected. Then they eat my meat and become happy."
"Your guards are really good. They are much better than the king's subordinates before. You also know how to use money to buy meat. You are really not a thing, so you know how to rob us."
"That's right, it's better for the guards to treat us as relatives, eat our flesh and pay back the money."
"The attached soldiers are very bad, damn, luckily they were all beaten away."
The shepherds talked a lot about the good things about the guards and cursed the stubborn people.
Xiaoliu and Sun Shan looked at each other and wondered whether these were Tule herdsmen. Why did they only say good things about our guards, but actually scolded their own soldiers?
The winter training is coming to an end. The commander-in-chief has said that as soon as each unit completes the winter training, it will begin a half-month rest. After the rest, the entire army will set off to overcome the Tule units and march into Rouran.
We must destroy the Royal Court of Rouran before this year's New Year and avenge the deaths of the brothers Paoze.
There was the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and two guards rushed their horses. The leading horse arrived in front of Xiao Liu. The soldiers on the horses reined in the reins, and the cold wind brought pain to Xiao Liu's face.
"We failed again this time, Lao Gao, why is your grandson also out?"
Xiao Liu greeted the guards. This was Gao Dabao, a commander of the guards camp. He was truly a man who was killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He was extremely powerful.
Gao Dabao chuckled: "Of course it's a routine assessment. It doesn't matter if you fail. It's not against discipline to eat meat here, but remember to pay. The boss's sheep are not cheap."
Sun Shan chuckled beside him: "Why, he is just a little sheepherder, and he still wants to hack our guards."
Gao Dabao chuckled: "I just want to eat some meat. Come on, boss, break off a leg of lamb for me."
Xiaoliu's face darkened and he asked the sheepherder: "How much does your sheep cost?"
The shepherd held up five fingers.
"Five hundred coins!"
Sun Shan jumped to his feet and said, "What a rip-off, your grandson's price is too expensive. I used to buy a sheep for only two hundred coins, but yours is too expensive, so I can't do it."
The sheepherder raised his chin: "Sir, look at it, we will skin you, clean your internal organs, and provide you with salt. On our grassland, salt is better than gold and iron. In order to make your food comfortable, we use it."
Up."
"Five hundred coins, it can't be cheaper."
The shepherd looked determined.
Gao Dabao was nibbling a leg of lamb beside him, laughing and looking like he was watching the fun.
Xiao Liu asked Gao Dabao angrily: "Lao Gao, have you experienced this before?"
Gao Dabao nodded and said with a smile: "How smart do you think these herdsmen are? How dare you buy sheep from you and ask for a high price of five hundred coins? If you were a herdsman, how could you come up with this?"
Any ideas?"
“Can’t think of anything”
Xiao Liu shook his head, how dare he have such courage.
"This is the method the prince gave them, you know."
Gao Dabao raised his chin, with a look on his face that said it was up to you.
"Half a month ago, during the first winter training, the prince personally led us for the assessment. When we met Yingyuan's grandson, he was arguing with the herdsmen, saying that he failed the assessment because of their sheep, and he wanted the herdsmen to give him a sheep.
"
"The prince gave these herdsmen advice. Our winter training did not yield much results, but these herdsmen managed to get rid of all their own sheep, and they all came at a good price."
"Winter training is good."
The shepherd who was grilling meat gave a thumbs up.
