Chapter 270 Picnic in the Wilderness
wilderness
This year's wilderness seems to be different from previous years. It is full of chilling atmosphere. Barbarians are busy preparing for war everywhere. Horses that can be called BMWs in the Central Plains are constantly gathering further north in the wilderness.

A bloody battle was going on there. The land on the grassland had been dyed red over and over again, and corpses were everywhere on the ground. However, hungry prairie wolves only watched from a distance, not daring to eat these immortals. Food given by God.

Just because the battlefield was still going on at this time. On one side were the cavalry on the grassland, and on the other side were the silent desolate men wearing animal skins.

The nights this year are longer than in previous years, and the temperature in the Far North is also colder than in previous years. It is a cold that even the barren people living there all year round cannot bear.

Even though it was still summer, they still went south, because summer was almost over and autumn was coming. This year's autumn was too cold, so they had no choice but to go south in order to survive.

When the barren people from the far north went south, the first one to bear the brunt was not the Tang Dynasty in the deep Central Plains, but the Zuozhang Royal Court on this grassland. So one side fought for survival and the other side fought for their own territory, so this war broke out.

Deafening shouts of killing echoed in the grassland. The cavalry faced off against the infantry. It was originally a battle without any suspense. However, the scene at this time was exactly the opposite. The desert warriors on the battlefield relied on their feet that were comparable to wolf feet. , divided the prairie cavalry into different square formations, and then slowly eroded away.

Even if a great wizard took action on the grassland, he was defeated by the powerful Huang Ren, and the balance of the battlefield also tilted towards the Huang Ren.

After a great battle, the silent desolate man finally stepped on the grassland and shouted the name of the strong desolate man.

"Don! Don! Don!"

His name is Tang, and he is the walking Tang of the Demon Sect. Tang is not his surname, just like Xia Hou, the general of the Tang Dynasty, Tang is his name.

With the end of the war, the deserters officially have a new home in this land with a relatively harsh environment compared to the Central Plains, and they no longer have to worry about the coming autumn.

The Zuozhang Royal Court had no choice but to accept the result of the defeat, and gave the fertile pastures in the north to the deserters, and strictly guarded the southern grasslands. At the same time, in order to make up for the losses in this battle, the Zuozhang Royal Court sent cavalry to start looting. The country of Yan further south.

However, the barren people who obtained the living soil did not go south again. Instead, they restrained the tribesmen and began to sing and dance. The bright red bonfire reflected the laughter and faces full of longing for the future. This was the place where their ancestors lived, but later It was just forced to move, and now it is natural for them to take it back.

However, Tang, the greatest hero of this war, did not sing and dance with his tribe, but returned to the far north with his sister Tang Xiaotang.

Tang Xiaotang hugged a beautiful little snow wolf and followed Tang. Her petite body was at home in this cold place. It was obvious that her cultivation was enough to not be afraid of the cold here.

"Brother, what are we doing here? Everyone is having a carnival now." Tang Xiaotang pouted, obviously unhappy about missing the tribe's carnival.

Tang was speechless, and just continued walking with Tang Xiaotang. After a long time, he seemed to sense something and stopped.

"elder brother…"

"Do not talk."

Tang directly interrupted his sister's words, pulled her to squat down, and stared straight into the distance, where a vague aura was approaching.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaotang could only curl his lips helplessly and wait quietly.

A moment later, a big ox suddenly appeared on the wasteland pulling a cart. A scholar wearing an old coat sat on the carriage, driving the ox cart slowly on the wilderness.

Suddenly the scholar on the bullock cart slapped the big ox, and the bullock cart stopped immediately. The curtain of the cart was opened, and a tall old man with gray hair and beard stepped out of the cart. It was the master who had left the academy for many years and traveled around the world. .

The master stretched his body and complained: "This place is so boring. If it weren't for the peony fish, I wouldn't be willing to come." Li smiled slowly and then said: "Master, I want to go home. ?”

"Nonsense, I don't know what happened to those guys after being away for so many years." The master looked in the direction of Chang'an. After leaving the academy for so many years, it was time to go back and take a look, and it was time to prepare.

Li Manman smiled slightly, helped the master get out of the car, and then said: "Isn't this the academy ring of my uncle? What can they do if they meet every day?"

"Hmph, who knows if they were lazy after all." The master glanced at Li Manmanan displeasedly.

Seeing this, Li slowly smiled helplessly, then took out a chair from the college ring and asked his wife to sit down, and then took out the kitchen utensils and the frozen peony fish.

"Slowly cook a few more." The master sat on the chair and glanced at the peony fish on the chopping board.

Hearing this, Li slowly paused with his hand holding the knife, then nodded and took out a few peony fish again. A moment later, a large plate of thinly sliced ​​peony fish fillets was slowly brought up by Li.

However, the master did not start eating directly at this time. Instead, he closed his eyes and waited quietly. After a while, a figure dressed in red suddenly appeared in the distance leading a big black donkey.

"Peony fish sashimi?"

Li Ming glanced at the peony fish sashimi on the plate, jumped off the donkey's back, waved his hand and a chair appeared out of thin air, and then sat down.

"Junior brother, you have to wait for me to eat, but you don't know how to hurry up."

The master glanced at Li Ming angrily, then took out the seasoning from his pocket and put it into a bowl. He picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth, and ate it with a look of enjoyment.

Seeing this, Li Ming smiled slightly, and then picked up a piece of peony fish meat, dipped it in the sauce, and chewed it slowly. He seemed to feel that something was missing, and frowned slightly, then waved his hand and took out a jar from the Xumi Ring. Peach blossom stuffed wine as a gift.

"Peach blossom wine? It's been a long time since I drank wine from that little guy Yan Se." The Master touched his white beard and sighed. For him who has lived for a thousand years, Yan Se is indeed a little guy.

Hearing this, Li Ming smiled slightly, then poured a glass of wine and handed it to his master, saying, "Senior brother, aren't you going to drink casually when you return to Chang'an this time?"

"You have run out, I can't go back. What if those little guys are lazy." The master glanced at Li Ming angrily, as if he wanted to throw the blame on him.

Li Ming shook his head and did not argue with the rogue old man. He waved his hand and conjured two chairs again, and asked Li Manman and his apprentice to sit down and continue eating and drinking.

Looking at this scene from a distance, Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but make a strange noise in his stomach, as if he was protesting to eat.

"Brother, I'm hungry."

Tang Xiaotang pouted and looked at Tang with an aggrieved look. The corner of his eye kept glancing at the peony fish sashimi in front of a few people in the distance.

"Eat this."

Tang Zi took out a piece of dried meat from his arms and handed it to Tang Xiaotang.
