Just like a wanderer who has left home will feel homesick, Jiang Ergou feels the same way now when he is walking on the grassland. The road ahead is long and he doesn’t know when he will be able to return to that small valley.
This feeling of homesickness might not have been too strong before the old man left, but now he really wanted to go back and see if the little tomb was covered with dead grass.
Returning from north to east, the feeling of spring gradually grew stronger along the way, and another year passed before we knew it. The grassland was different from Dachu where there were so many Spring Festival customs, so Jiang Ergou didn't feel any sense of the New Year here.
But it makes no difference whether he has it or not. Even if he was in Dachu during the Chinese New Year, he would still be posting couplets and eating New Year’s Eve dinner alone!
Perhaps the only comfort in Ergou's heart is that he still has a place to go when he goes to the grave on New Year's Day! There is an old man lying there quietly who listens to his nagging but never nags him again.
.
Hanging the bronze sparrow sword on his waist, Jiang Ergou looked into the distance while pressing the hilt of the sword and spoke softly.
"Old man, do you miss that old guy?"
The originally quiet Bronze Bird Sword trembled slightly with great spirituality. The spiritual weapon has a soul. The Bronze Bird Sword was conceived by the deep sword temperature beside the old man for countless years, so this sword can do such a thing.
The reaction is not surprising at all.
But he felt homesick for home, but there was no way he could just run back quietly now! Not to mention how much of the scenery on the grassland he had seen, he had even entered a grassland city, and that was all.
Are you embarrassed to say that you have been to the grassland?
In fact, it's not that the grassland is not prosperous enough, it's just that Jiang Ergou ran in the wrong direction. Perhaps seventy or eighty years ago, the grasslands were still dominated by nomads herding cattle and sheep, but now there are at least 20 grasslands that are not inferior to Dachu.
There are too many border towns and majestic cities rising up on this grassland.
There are five of them around the Prairie Royal Court. Each of the remaining twelve wolf kings also has a royal city of their own. In addition, some prominent grassland families have also built cities, so the grassland now looks like a small dynasty.
Already.
Jiang Ergou had been running north for nearly two months, and now it took almost the same time to come back. The grassland was covered with ice and snow the year before, but now the snow has melted and spring has come. The grass on the ground has grown to ankles, and even some water areas are wide.
The aquatic plants have grown to waist height in some places.
Walking slowly, Jiang Ergou gradually felt human again, but most of the people he saw were cavalry in armor. Such scenes always made Jiang Ergou think that Helian Zejun was up to something secretly.
Just then, a small group of cavalry appeared on the distant horizon, numbering about twelve people. The leader was holding a piece of parchment in his hand, but he didn't know what it was.
When a group of twelve people saw Jiang Ergou, they galloped towards him on horseback. Especially the person in front of him was smiling broadly, as if he had picked up silver on the road.
Jiang Ergou saw that there was a big gap between their costumes and the costumes of Helian Zejun's cavalry, so for a while he couldn't figure out what these people were going to do.
Besides, others don’t know, but Helian Zejun knows his strength. Even if he hits the wall, he shouldn’t just send a team of twelve people to find him. This is obviously not the same as delivering food.
What a difference!
But with how sinister that kid is, he might still be harboring his evil deeds! Could it be that these twelve people were really the bait he threw out to lure him into taking the bait.
In line with the bold mentality of an expert, Jiang Ergou had no intention of escaping. The worst he could do was to be chased away by thousands of cavalry troops, which might allow him to seize the opportunity to break through to the first level.
The cavalry team of twelve people quickly came to Jiang Ergou, but they did not rush to ask questions, but first opened the parchment and compared it carefully.
After several confirmations, the leader looked at Jiang Ergou and closed the parchment, and asked in an unquestionable tone.
"Are you Jiang Fuyu?!"
"it's me!"
It seems that this person is really not Helian Zejun's subordinate. After hearing the person in front of him admit that he is Jiang Ergou, he still laughs. Even the smile is from the heart of happiness!
Doesn't he know how powerful this Jiang Ergou is?
"We have finally found you. We
Five thousand brothers have been wandering the grassland for several months just looking for you. My young master invites you, please come back with me as soon as possible."
He said please, but the actual tone of the man was a little unkind, but that's normal. I didn't hear him say that he had been looking for him in the grassland for several months.
"Is your young master Helian Zejun?"
The man's eyes showed a little fear at first, and then forcibly changed the fear into disdain.
"That guy from the Helian family who only plays tricks behind the scenes? Can he be compared to our young master? Even ten Helian Zejuns can't compare to my young master!"
This aroused Jiang Ergou's interest. Helian Zejun's strategy may still seem a little immature in the eyes of those mature old foxes, but compared to young people, he is already very powerful. He will practice more in the future.
, he can also become an old fox.
"I heard that your young master is so powerful, but you still didn't say who he is! On the grassland, I don't know anyone else among the nobles except Helian Zejun!"
The disdain in the knight's eyes not only did not disappear, but intensified a lot. However, the look before was directed at Helian Zejun, but now it was directed at Jiang Ergou.
"Of course you have never heard of who my young master is, but you are lucky. I will give you a chance to get to know each other now. Just stand still and listen. My young master is none other than Tuoba Lang, the leader of the twelve wolf kings.
The king’s youngest son, Tuoba Beiqi! According to what you say, my young master is already a near-first-class top master at a young age!”
"oh…!"
"Um…!"
The man thought that after Jiang Ergou sighed, he would praise their young master for his greatness, but what he said next made all the twelve people present feel a little pained.
"Still don't know me!"
The cavalry squad leader obviously looked a little angry, but he couldn't find an excuse to get angry. He couldn't just beat that kid just because he didn't know his son. Besides, this wasn't something human beings did!
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? If we ask you to go back with us, just follow us. Our young master has to go to the royal court!"
"What does your young master want to do with me?"
"Are you a swordsman?"
The cavalry captain asked rhetorically.
"That's right!"
"That's right, our young master uses a sword, but those people say that a sword is not as good as a sword. If our young master is not convinced, he will naturally have a test with you!"
So that's it. Jiang Ergou probably knows what's going on. Back then, Helian Zejun said that he had the ability to escape from the encirclement of a thousand cavalry. The events of that day were wiped out, and Helian Zejun would never do it again.
Then they hunted him down.
But considering Helian Zejun's character, he would not let Jiang Ergou off easily, so he told a martial arts idiot that he was a sword cultivator, and then he could sit back and watch.
Fight!
After understanding the reason, this method made Jiang Ergou sigh that it was a good strategy. Even if the guy named Tuoba Beiqi saw something was wrong, he would have no choice but to step on it unless he
I am not interested in Jiang Ergou, a second-grade sword cultivator.
And what about Jiang Ergou? He also needs an opponent to match his moves and correct them. This guy named Tuoba Beiqi is his best choice.
But if he didn't understand, forget it, he would just go to a martial arts competition, but now that he thought about it clearly, Jiang Ergou was not willing to jump into the pit.
Although the pit was not deep, he was unwilling to jump because he didn't like the feeling of having everything he had in the hands of others.
After clearing his thoughts, Jiang Ergou said to the cavalryman.
"Please go back and tell your young master that if you want to compete, I welcome him, but the prerequisite is that he comes to me instead of me to him. There is another point!"
Jiang Ergou glanced at the bronze bird sword at his waist.
"I can't represent the people who use swords in the world, and he can't represent the people who use swords in the world, so the competition between me and him can only be regarded as an ordinary competition, far from being a sword fight."
Jiang Ergou chattered a lot,
But both inside and outside the words reveal the same meaning, that is: if you want me to find him, not only will there be no door, but there will not even be a window!
But these words were obviously disrespectful to the old man, and the leading cavalryman with the parchment in his hand turned cold.
"Jiang Fuyu, let me tell you, you must not be ignorant of praise. My young master asked you to go because he thinks highly of you. You are still getting mad in front of me, right? Be careful, our brothers will teach you a lesson later.
pause."
"I won't go! I want to see if you can hit me or not! I'll stand here and wait for you to come over. It's up to you to choose a one-on-one fight or a group fight. Let's try to see who hits whom!"
The hand of the cavalryman holding the scimitar had begun to sweat. Naturally, he had heard of Jiang Ergou's achievements, so he also understood very well that they were not even good enough for Jiang Ergou.
You can't even close the gap between your teeth.
"Jiang Fuyu, don't think that you can do anything to me if you know a little kung fu! There are five thousand brothers on the surrounding grasslands that we can call upon. When I call them over, you will become an immortal and we can
I’ll knock you down to hell!”
Jiang Ergou nodded with deep understanding, but only he knew how much of it was fake.
He looked at the cavalryman and said two words lightly.
"Don't go!"
The cavalryman who thought he could easily complete the mission and then received the reward was so angry that his head almost exploded. This guy was as smelly and hard as the rocks in the pit, and there was really nothing that could be done about him.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate and no one could convince the other, a voice came from behind them.
"It's strange. In my life, I have seen people robbing money, I have seen people robbing women, and I have even seen people robbing other people's property. But this is the first time I have seen someone robbing a man. It's very strange!"
The person who came was a man about the same age as Ergou. He was riding upside down on the back of a horse, looking extremely carefree.
When he got closer, he glanced at Jiang Ergou and said.
"I said, why are you guys gathering around him? He's not the kind of man or woman whose looks can make you make mistakes! Apart from his handsome face, you can't even tell that he's handsome. Are you all so handsome now?
This is the wind?"
Ergou's face turned darker and darker. This stupid boy who came from nowhere spoke so damn unpleasantly. What does it mean to be masculine and feminine, and what does it mean to be a good man? I really thought of him as returning to the dream house.
Is your little husband here?
"You're the brat who ran out there, you dare to meddle in my business, get out of here, get out of here! Otherwise, I'll let you know later why the flowers are so red!"
The cavalryman clearly stated what Jiang Ergou was thinking. He even hoped that the cavalryman could teach him a lesson, even though Ergou knew that he was no match for him.
"Hey, hey, actually, I won't care if you want to rob the men, women, or even the elderly on your grassland, but if you want to touch our people in Dachu, you have to ask me first! Although this thing doesn't look good, it can be seen at a glance.
If you recognize that he is a product of our Da Chu, of course I can’t let you touch him!”
He was already suffocated because of Jiang Ergou's attitude, but he didn't dare to attack Jiang Ergou, but this kid who ran out of nowhere didn't have so many worries. He couldn't just run out and do it.
He must be a master!
"Boy, don't say I'm unkind. I'll give you one last chance. Will you leave or not?"
The guy who had been lying on the horse except for glancing at Jiang Ergou slipped off the horse and stood on the other side of the horse.
"Want to do it? Come and try!"
Then the cavalryman reached out and grasped his scimitar, half-drawn it out and prepared to attack. Since that man dared to stand up, he must have some real ability.
"Zizzi...hiss...rub!"
There was also a sound of drawing a knife from the other side of the horse. The man drew the knife very slowly. He seemed to enjoy the crisp sound of the friction between the blade and the scabbard.
Jiang Ergou was standing on the same side as the cavalry, so naturally he couldn't see the appearance of the sword, but from the sound of him drawing the sword, he knew that he was using a Mo sword.
This kind of knife is an extremely rare large-scale knife with a long handle and a long blade. It can be held with both hands, and its lethality is amazing. A man and a horse can be torn apart with one strike!
