I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 274

The Taoist walked from west to east with a bamboo stick.

The bay red horse followed silently with its luggage on its back.

The little girl next to her also took a bamboo stick, much thinner than the Taoist's.

The little girl held up the bamboo stick and ran forward. A thin straw rope was tied to the bamboo stick, and a small piece of white cloth was tied on top of the straw rope. It was about the size of a cat's paw. The white piece of cloth on the rope blew up, shaking and spinning, as if what was tied was not a piece of cloth, but a butterfly.

The butterflies on the prairie were stupid, as if they really thought it was a butterfly, so they followed the white cloth and soon formed a long row behind the white cloth.

The little girl ran with a stick, and pieces of cloth flew around.

Followed by a long line of butterflies, neatly arranged.

When she ran far away, she circled the grassland, ran back, and then went around behind the Taoist and the bay red horse, and continued on.

As if indefatigable.

"Taoist, look!"

"Ah."

"More and more!"

"sharp."

"..."

Not only is she tireless, but she also doesn't seem to know how to laugh. She can only see that her eyes are extremely bright, full of novelty, and her voice is clearer.

Holding the bamboo stick like this, he ran back and forth.

The Taoist glanced at her from time to time.

The picture seems to be very beautiful.

Others would never have imagined that this is the border between Dayan and the eighteen tribes of the Saibei Grassland, which is often contested nowadays. There are often two sides roaming on this grassland and frequenting each other, inquiring about each other. A fight.

After a long time, the little girl seemed to be tired from running, so she slowed down her pace and only waved the bamboo stick around her body to ensure the flying of the cloth so that the butterflies continued to follow.

But she quickly reached out and grabbed it.

"brush!"

Easily catches a small butterfly.

Before the Taoist could look away, he saw her put her hand to her mouth.

"..."

Only then did the Taoist look away and look into the distance.

"Well?"

Mistress Sanhua was just about to reach out her hand to pick another lucky little butterfly as her self-help snack, but she also stopped and turned her head to look into the distance.

There is a faint sound of horseshoes behind the hill.

Not long after, several figures appeared on the distant mountain.

They are all prairie men, their clothing style is very different from that of Dayan, they have no armor, only a machete, a bow and arrow, and they go into battle lightly.

Looking at each other, they came towards this side.

"thorough!"

Shouted a few times.

Song You knew at a glance that they were waiting riders from Saibei, with the same configuration as Dayan, a group of ten.

As expected, before the group of waiting riders approached, there was a shout.

It is an incomprehensible language.

Perhaps it was because Song You was handsome, wearing Taoist robes, not carrying a weapon, and even brought a little girl with him. They didn't seem to be threatening, and they didn't immediately show strong hostility.However, according to Song You's experience of walking on the border in the past few days, most of the opponents would not let him go easily. Even if they didn't kill him on the spot, they would arrest him or let him go with them.

So the Taoist turned his head to face them, calmly waited for them to approach, and then said lightly:
"Everyone, please come back."

"Sorry..."

The horses under Sai Beihou's seat immediately raised their heads and neighed for a while, and they all stopped, not listening to the riders beating the horses, then they all turned around and ran back and forth.

The cavalrymen were so frightened and angry that they pulled the necks of the horses, and the horses under them did not stop.

In the end, this group of people came from a distant mountain and disappeared on a distant mountain.

"Awesome Daoist~"

Mistress Sanhua's voice was soft and thin, but imitating the tone of Wu Xia from Changjing, she raised her bamboo stick and turned her head to stare at the Taoist.

"Want to learn?"

"Will the horse listen to me after learning about us?"

"Mistress Sanhua is talking to it now, won't it also listen to Mistress Sanhua?"

"Sometimes I listen, sometimes I don't."

"Then it has its own ideas just like Empress Sanhua."

"Then how about I learn this spell?"

"Empress Sanhua can't use spells to make her friends obey."

"Then don't study."

The little girl withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the piece of white cloth attached to her small bamboo stick. It was only then that she realized that she had looked too seriously at the group of people just now and forgot to wave the bamboo stick. After discovering that the butterflies tied to the bamboo sticks were dead, they all flew away.

"..."

The little girl was not discouraged, and continued to run with a bamboo stick.

The Taoist also stepped forward and continued to walk east.

There seems to be a military fortress of Dayan here.The name is Zhaoye City.

It can be described as famous.

When Song You was in Yidu, he had heard its name from a storyteller. It was one of the five northern towns of Dayan Town, and it was also the military town farthest from Changjing in the north. There were quite some legends that attracted Dayan Literati and common people talked about it with great interest.It's just that Mr. Storyteller didn't know its exact location, he only knew that it was in the north, but he heard about its approximate location after he arrived at Dada Grassland.

However, the grassland is so big that Song You has neither a map nor a guide, so it seems that it is not easy to find it.

It is possible to miss it across a hill.

Slowly from afternoon to night.

The sea of ​​stars is as vast as a grassland.

Empress Sanhua still went to collect firewood and lit a bonfire in the mountains.

The Taoist boiled a pot of boiling water, took out beef jerky, and added the hare caught by Empress Sanhua, and it was dinner tonight.

It's just that the night doesn't stop.

I don't know which side's ranger is also wandering on this grassland at night. Maybe they saw a fire here, so they came over to investigate quietly. Before they got close, they were spotted by the vigilant Sanhua cat. The person sitting was a Taoist, so he sent one person over on horseback, and the rest held bows and crossbows to guard against the night.

"who?"

Familiar language came from the darkness.

One person and one rider, slowly approaching, against the sky full of stars, gradually walked into the range of the firelight from the dark night.

He was a burly man with a spear and a bow and arrow.

The Taoist was still sitting facing the fire, holding a piece of dried beef in his right hand and a bowl of boiling water in his left, and turned to look at the person coming.

After they understood the language, the Taoist didn't use magic to invite them back, but said: "My surname is Song Mingyou, and I am from Lingquan County in Yizhou. I have traveled down the mountain and traveled to the north. Please don't make things difficult for the captain."

"..."

The cavalryman approached and looked carefully, his eyes swept over the Taoist, the three-colored cat beside the fire, and the bay red horse lying on the side.

"Mr. Song You Song?"

"Ok?"

Song You turned to look at him: "The captain also knows?"

"Naturally know!"

The cavalry immediately turned around and shouted behind him:
"It's Mr. Song!"

Immediately, he got off his horse and clasped his fists at Song You: "Your surname is Feng, he is a Ranger of the Ninth Regiment of the Zhenbei Army. He was ordered by General Chen. , Daoist Priest Song Mingyou, Zaohong Ma, told the master that there are monsters in the Saibei army to help, please go to Yuanzhi City to help."

"Yuanzhi City?"

"Yes!"

"Where is Yuanzhi City?"

"Six hundred miles to the east from here."

"so far……"

"Mr. Hui, when we were stationed in Zhaoye City, we received an order from Yuanzhi City, so we searched for you while patrolling."

"How did General Chen know that I would be here?"

"This little one doesn't know."

"..."

Song You thought for a while, and almost understood.

It should be the news from Caotou Pass in the south. General Chen knew that he had passed Heyuan, passed Caotou Pass, and also knew that there was a grand festival on the Dada grassland in front of him. He guessed that he would definitely go. After passing the grassland meeting The location continues to the north, and it is here.

It's a good calculation.

At this time, the rest of the people also put away their crossbows and arrows and came over.

In addition to the former ranger named Feng, there are nine horses in total, eight horses are sitting on the side of someone with injuries, it seems that they have fought with someone before, and one horse is led by another person. A corpse in light armor was tied up, and there were several heads hanging from it. Most of these people carried spears and crossbows.

Everyone got off their horses one after another and cupped their fists at Song You.

Song You also returned the salutes one by one and asked, "Are you all injured?"

"While patrolling today, I met a team of Saibei people's scouting horses and fought with them." The cavalry surnamed Feng said, his gestures were quite quack, "I suffered some minor injuries, and a brother died. It's a pity. No one was caught alive, so they brought back the dead body of the brother.”

"You guys look like people from the Long Spear School?"

"Mister also knows about my spear?"

"It's like thunder."

"A few are."

"I'm……"

"Me too……"

"Zhao Guanyi from the Long Spear Sect! Be polite!"

"The long spear door opens on Monday..."

Several cavalrymen with spears spoke out one after another.

The north is chaotic, and heroes emerge from troubled times.

Since Song Xing traveled to Hezhou and Yanzhou, he has seen many people from the Long Spear School, and there are also many people who joined the army, and most of them served as elites in the army.

When I was in the south before, I heard that Changjing Yunhemen, Yizhou Xishan School, and Yuezhou Changqiangmen were listed as the three major sects of Jianghu by the storyteller.Because Yunhemen is located in Changjing, related to nobles in the court, and occupies an absolute advantage in publicity, although it is despised by people in the Jianghu, it is also respected as the number one school in the Jianghu by storytellers.The Xishan School has a good reputation in Jianghu, and all of its disciples are outstanding in martial arts. People in Jianghu often want to pick a big finger when they meet.The long gun door had to go back a row.

Now it seems that there may be some inaccuracies.

With the birth of troubled times and the support of General Chen, now speaking of power, I am afraid that Yunhemen and Xishan faction combined with several other great forces in the world are far inferior to Longlancemen.

"Just now I heard from you that you are from Zhaoye City?"

"Yes."

"Has Zhaoye City been recovered?"

"It was recovered the year before last."

"I heard that it was demons who occupied Zhaoye City before?"

"Mister doesn't know something..."

The ranger surnamed Feng told him.

Zhaoye City is Dayan's furthest military town in the northern part of the Great Wall.

Why is it called Zhaoye City?

It is this vast grassland, Dayan stationed in it, just like this night, his eyes and ears are completely dark, but this night city is like a lamp in the night, going deep into the night and illuminating the surroundings.

The last time the Saibei people made a large-scale invasion of the south, the army of Zhaoye City was under the attack of the Saibei people, and they defended it for several years. Even the Saibei people had already crossed the northern border, crossed the entire Yanzhou, and galloped all the way to the north of Hezhou. Under the wind pass, the entire Heyuan was massacred, and the northernmost city of Zhaoye was still not lost.It's just that they have already cut off contact with Changjing, and Changjing also thought that they had already fallen.

Until the news came back to the capital, the ruling and opposition parties were shaken.

It is said that at that time the imperial court had already called for peace. Hearing this news, Emperor Wu made a decision to continue the fight. He also heard that many heroes in the world were encouraged by him, so angry that they joined the army and left.

It was only later that Zhaoye City still fell.

It is said that it was done by demons.

It is said that the northern generals at that time were unable to rush to help, and Zhaoye City had run out of food and grass, so it fell. The generals were afraid of being held accountable, so they reasoned that it was a demon.

All the people in the world, whether they are officials or ordinary people, literati or warriors, are all interested in talking about the events in Yecheng.

Probably also to be famous through the ages.
