Chapter 213

The turn of autumn and summer is the most beautiful time on the grassland, with lush water and grass, and you can see leisurely shepherds riding horses, shaking whips, driving sheep, and singing freely between the sky and the earth.

Walking between the heaven and the earth, everyone can't help singing loudly.People from Guanzhong yelled at Qin Feng, and people from Yanmen sang a ballad outside the Great Wall. They were more majestic than each other. Even Liang Xiao couldn't be persuaded by them.

This is one of the few songs of Chu he knows, and it is not as powerful as the illiterate Tu Niu'er when he sings it.However, Liang Xiao didn't feel ashamed either. The Han people in this era were not like the later generations. They were as good at singing and dancing as the people on the prairie. He was not from the entertainment industry.

Four days later, Liang Xiao and others left Gaoque and entered the vast grassland.

As the sun set and night fell, Liang Xiao and the others stopped in front of a hill.There is a big tent under the mountain ridge. Two Huns with shaved heads are driving cattle and sheep into the pen. An old woman is sitting at the door of the tent, humming softly with a baby in her arms. The bundled hay was bundled up and piled up next to the tent to feed the horses at night.

Liang Xiao and the others stopped far away, Guo Wenbin jumped on a horse, urged the horse to run over, and waved his arms to greet the herdsmen from a distance.He walked up to the old woman, saluted respectfully, said a few words, got on his horse again, and ran back quickly.

"They agreed to let us spend the night here, and they were willing to trade horses with us."

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.Although there was no shortage of fodder along the way, the horses still lost their legs after traveling in a hurry for several days.In order to ensure the speed, he wanted to exchange a few horses with the herdsmen he met along the way before the loss of the huss was serious.

"Don't worry, every herdsman's family will have a few tamed horses. It may not be possible to serve as war horses, but riding them is no problem." Guo Wenbin said confidently, and took out two small horses from the bag on the camel's back. Object, leading the camel, walked towards the tent.

Liang Xiao and others followed, and got off their horses a hundred steps away from the tent. Xie Guanglong and his knight Guo Wu were in charge of looking after the horses. forward.Guo Wenwu walked up to the old woman, offered a small golden lock with both hands, and said a few words in Hun language.

When the old woman saw the golden lock, she smiled, took the golden lock, put it around the baby's neck, and shouted a few words.Two young Hun men came over, looked at the horses in the hands of Liang Xiao and the others, nodded, and said a few words, apparently satisfied with the exchange.

In just a few words, the deal was concluded, and the old lady warmly invited them to camp here.Liang Xiao was in the middle of his heart, and immediately ordered to set up camp.

Xie Guanglong and Guo Wu got busy, took off the camping tent from the hunchback, and picked a high open place to set up camp.They have been searching for news outside the Great Wall all year round, and they are familiar with the way to do these things. They don't need help at all, and they are set up quickly.Then he got on his horse again and rushed to the surrounding area to investigate the situation and take charge of vigilance.

Li Shuyun took two Lang officials to prepare dinner, one named Xu Yanshou and the other named Li Dingguo, both Weiyang Lang.Their family backgrounds are all average, and if they follow the normal path, their future prospects are limited, so they follow Liang Xiao to take some strange risks in order to get some credit.

Guo Wenbin took out another silk handkerchief, walked up to the old woman, and pointed to the busy young woman.The old woman looked at the handkerchief carefully, beckoned to the young woman, and gave her the handkerchief.The young woman looked at the handkerchief, a shy smile appeared on her black and red face, she nodded repeatedly, then turned and walked into the sheepfold, picked up a sheep, and walked over.After talking to Guo Wenbin, he went straight to Li Shuyun.

Li Shuyun quickly reached out to pick up the sheep.Probably touched some part of the woman with his hand, he was a little embarrassed, and apologized quickly.The woman giggled and didn't leave, just stood aside and watched.Li Shuyun was a little panicked and was almost brought down by the sheep.Without further ado, the woman knocked the sheep to the ground, pulled out a short knife from her belt, bled, opened, and skinned the sheep three times, then looked at Li Shuyun with a smile.

Li Shuyun was extremely embarrassed, his face flushed with embarrassment.Li Dingguo and Xu Yanshou laughed, constantly making fun of Li Shuyun.The woman laughed too, turned around and ran back to the tent.

The fire was raised, and soon the mutton soup was cooked and the mutton was roasted.Liang Xiao and others sat around, took out the wine, and drank happily.

After traveling thousands of miles, no one knows what the result will be. Even if Liang Xiao is a traverser, there is no guarantee that it will be smooth under such circumstances.So he didn't hold back any grudges, and took out almost all the money on his body, and exchanged a lot of things with Guo Yu, including exquisite gifts for King Da Yuezhi and high-quality wine.Because his son was accompanying him, Guo Yu was almost half selling and half giving away, but it really cost him money.

At this moment, Liang Xiao took out a bottle of wine and each took a sip.Because he was in a foreign land, for the sake of safety, he didn't dare to let them drink openly, he could only let them satisfy their cravings.

"This sip is my one month's salary." Xie Guanglong said with emotion, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hmph, you can still buy a month's salary, we can't even smell it." Guo Wu saluted Liang Xiao with a smile, then held the earcup to his mouth, and took a shallow sip.Although he was not used to drinking this kind of wine, he still closed his eyes contentedly, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

Li Shuyun looked at the earcup in his hand, stood up suddenly, and said to Liang Xiao: "Ah Xiao, pour me some more."

"Why do you want to eat more and occupy more?" Xu Yanshou joked: "Just because you are handsome?"

Li Shuyun just laughed, but didn't speak.Liang Xiao took a look at him and added some more to him.Holding the earcup, Li Shuyun cautiously walked towards the tent.Xu Yanshou said while sipping his wine: "Nine out of ten times out of ten, this little Zhuzi has taken a fancy to that Hun woman, and he's exhausted after only a few days?"

Everyone laughed.Guo Wenbin took a sip of the wine and said proudly: "These Huns have never seen such a good thing. After drinking this wine, it is normal to sleep with him. I am afraid that she will follow us. When the time comes, she will be thrown away." Can't shake it off."

"Isn't it?" Liang Xiao said.

Guo Wenbin chuckled. "Adults don't know something, you can see what they eat. Don't look at the Huns with herds of cattle and sheep, but they are usually reluctant to eat them. Only those nobles can eat meat and drink every day. Ordinary people can only eat some Dairy products, plus some food in exchange, who can eat meat every day? As for the wine from the Western Regions, they even dare not even think about it, and they may not have the opportunity to encounter it in their lifetime."

Liang Xiao thought about it, and felt that it seemed to be the reason.At least he didn't see the herdsman killing sheep just now.

While drinking wine and eating meat, you started chatting with each other.Guo Wenbin traveled with his father since he was a child. He has seen a lot and told stories that are very attractive.Not long after, Li Shuyun came back, followed by the young woman.The young woman's face was blushing, with a little shyness, but she held on to Li Shuyun's clothes, as if she was afraid of being snatched away.

Seeing Li Shuyun looking at him eagerly, Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing. "What's up?"

Li Shuyun stammered and said: "Ah Xiao, can you...give me the money for the next few days?"

Liang Xiao took a look at the woman, and then saw two bald heads protruding from the tent in the distance, and understood.He shook the bottle and drank it for four days, and there was only a little left in the bottle.He stuffed the wine bottle into Li Shuyun's arms and waved his hand.

"Go ahead and don't fall off your horse tomorrow."

Everyone laughed jokingly.Li Shuyun embarrassedly carried the wine bottle and left.Li Dingguo shook his head, puzzled. "A person who is usually very reserved, why did he fall in love all of a sudden this time? Although this woman is strong, she doesn't look very good."

Pang Shuo grinned and said, "Who knows, maybe he'll be good at it. He needs to be strong enough. Lao Guo, let him ride a camel tomorrow. I'm worried that he won't be able to sit on the saddle."

Everyone laughed unscrupulously again, leaning forward and back together, overjoyed.Liang Xiao also laughed.He knew that for these rough men, getting married and starting a family was not an easy task, if they had the opportunity to encounter such a thing, they would not let it go just like Li Shuyun.It's not so much teasing as envy.This will happen many times over the next trip.

After eating and drinking enough, Liang Xiao arranged security matters, checked the surrounding situation himself, and then sat cross-legged outside the tent wearing a blanket.He never got the Daoyin Jue, so he had to insist on sitting in meditation every day as a night class, just like the empty-handed bow every morning, no matter the weather, he practiced hard.

Tu Niu'er was wrapped in a blanket, lying three or five steps away from Liang Xiao, and had already fallen asleep, muttering something, perhaps thinking of Hu Xijun and the unborn child.This way, when he comes back, the child should be able to call him daddy.

Liang Xiao suddenly hesitated, was he too impulsive?With just one Chinese knot, can King Da Yueshi trust me?With just these nine people, can I help the Da Yuezhi repel the Wusun people and the Huns and protect their current territory?

It's a little bit bigger this time.

Liang Xiao adjusted his breathing to calm himself down.Although the future is long, he has no plans to turn back.In any case, there was no turning back for him.Because he not only bears his own dream on his shoulders, but also bears the hope of other people's glory.

Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance.Without risk, where is the wealth?
Liang Xiao calmed down, and the surrounding voices gradually entered his ears.He heard the sound of the wind blowing across the hillside, the snoring of the tea cows, the teeth grinding of tents in the distance, and the faint groans in the grass in the distance.

When everything around him calmed down, he felt a shock that was extremely weak but gradually increased.

After staying on the horse for so long, Liang Xiao quickly realized what the noise was.
