In the Tang Dynasty, in the autumn of the 12th year of Shengguang, the Turks invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty. Cut off the right road of Longyou and allied with the old Tibetan tribe. The Turks and the old Tibetan tribes gathered 600,000 troops, hoping to seize the western part of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, and planned to occupy the Silk Road.

Above the main hall, the Chinese book order reported: "The defenders of Longyou Road were killed in battle, and the 200,000 Tang troops at the border pass were annihilated." The border is urgent". Then take out the fold and present it.

The emperor was furious and slapped the case: "Abominable Turks. Do you have a solution? ”

The servant stepped forward and returned: "The Turks and the old Tibetan tribes are allied, and they want to seize the western part of our dynasty, so please send a large army to regain the lost territory." Highlight the demeanor of our great country".

The emperor asked: "Zhong Aiqing, who is willing to lead the troops to the battle"?

General Sima Qing stepped forward: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle."

The emperor laughed: "Okay, Sima Aiqing will go out with me." Let those Turks see the million-strong army of my great country."

In the Tang Dynasty, in the winter of the 12th year of Shengguang, Emperor Li Ying drove a personal expedition and led an army of one million to the border pass to recover the lost territory. Sima Qing's eldest son, Sima Yunfei, led an army of 300,000 to set off ahead of schedule.

The people of the whole country independently raised donations, donated money and materials, and sent the emperor on the expedition. Waiting for the emperor's triumphant return.

Let's go back to Li Xiao's side.

At the beginning of winter, Zhu Biao's housemother (the beauty of their master) was not in good health. said that he was going to the south to recuperate. So I decided to set off for the south. Their owner just wants to accompany the beauty to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Poetry and painting the world.

Zhu Biao watched Li Xiao finish practicing the knife, and let Li Xiao punch again. He looked at the time and said, "The teacher is going to leave with the master, and I can't teach you anymore." In the past six months, you have also learned a lot. The rest of you study by yourself, and sooner or later it will become a great thing. I have never been married and have no children in my life, and you are the only apprentice. This jade pendant was given by my master and has my name engraved on it. In the future, if you go to the battlefield and get into trouble, this thing can save your life. If it doesn't matter to your life, you must not let people see it. In case you are seen by the enemy who is the teacher, your life will be in danger. Remember? ”

Li Xiao took the jade pendant and said with tears in his eyes: "Remember, take care of the master."

Li Xiaomu sent the master away. Tears crackled down. Holding the jade pendant given by the master in his hand, it was warm. The master is really good to her, she knows it.

She was very sad and sad about the master's departure. I wanted to go hunting to relieve my mood. She carried a knife on her back, an quiver at her waist, and a bow in her hand. See what to shoot what. The game is tied with a rope and hung on the shoulder. When she was in a good mood, she found that she couldn't carry it anymore.

There were too many wild things to hunt, so she went back to the cabin. It doesn't matter if you hang the wild things outside the hut. Anyway, it's winter now, and things can't be broken if they don't deal with them. Li Xiao took two rabbits and two pheasants and went down the mountain.

Li Xiao went to bed after freshening up. The next day, I got up when I was still ugly, and then ran to the wooden house to practice archery. After eating at dawn, I started boxing, and after boxing, I went to barbecue game. After lunch, I started to play with knives in the afternoon. When it was time to go home, I went home on time. Occasionally, he would take some prey home and give his family a tooth sacrifice.

In winter, there is less farm work. The two Dazhu brothers went to the city to work part-time.

Sanniang has always been reluctant for Li Xiao to run out, because Li Xiao will come back with one or two wild animals the next day. She didn't dare say anything.

Li Xiao's clothes have been washed by Siya since he was a child. After the death incident, Sanniang didn't want her to shoot arrows, thinking that the eight-year-old child should also learn to do laundry and cook. I just want to keep her at home to do housework.

At first, it was okay, she followed Erzhu to the village every day to wait for the old man and the uncle's family. When the old man and the others came back, Li Xiao began to go up the mountain again. Everyone in the family is used to Li Xiao, and Li Xiao is always not close to her, and her hints several times are useless. It's also good to have wild animals to fight for tooth sacrifices, especially in disaster years, when there is a shortage of green and yellow.

Later, Li Xiao simply didn't even fight wild things, and learned archery early in the morning and in the dark. Sanniang was even more unhappy. Sanniang just wanted Li Xiao to stay at home, but she didn't find a chance to speak. She doesn't wash Li Xiao's clothes, and she leaves very little food at night. She didn't even realize that she was getting more and more excessive.

It turned out that Li Xiao's clothes were washed by her aunt, and sometimes by her sister-in-law. In this way, Sanniang is even more unhappy, isn't the eldest brother's family making trouble. Thinking that if Li Xiao didn't eat, she would come back to her, but she didn't say anything. As a result, people are still like this, leaving early and returning late every day.

What Sanniang didn't know was that Li Xiao learned to barbecue with her master. I eat out every day.

Li Xiao knew that her mother was targeting her, so she didn't want to deal with her. So Sanniang saw Li Xiao less often. You only see it at night, and the whole family is there at dinner. After dinner, Erzhu was by her side again, and Sanniang knew that her husband supported Li Xiao's archery, but she didn't dare to say it in front of her man.

Dazhu Erzhu went to the county seat, and Sanniang thought that her opportunity had come. The old man is not easy to take care of their second room, especially the affairs of his daughter's house.

Wait until everyone eats dinner. Sanniang went to Li's small room.

Push the door in. I saw Li Xiao sitting at the table, wiping the big knife in his hand, and the big knife shining brightly under the oil lamp. Frightened, she screamed and almost fell, but she still held on to the door with her hands. Li Xiao was also taken aback. Seeing that it was her mother, she said casually: "Why didn't my mother knock on the door when she entered someone else's room." Then put the knife on the table. Walk over and close the door.

The other rooms heard Sanniang's cry and ran out. Li Xiao saw it and shouted, "It's okay, it's okay." The others went back to the house when they saw that they were all right.

Sanniang entered the house and sat down, pointed to the knife on the table and said, "Where did this come from, throw it away, throw it away."

Li Xiao glanced up at Sanniang and said coldly: "My mother came to me in the middle of the night, is it just to talk about this?"

Sanniang thought of the intention, exhaled and said, "I came to you to tell you that you won't go anywhere tomorrow, and you will stay at home in the future." No more archery is allowed in the future. The bows and arrows, and the sword, were all gathered up and thrown away."

Li Xiao felt that it was really difficult for him to communicate with her. said lightly: "The previous bow belonged to grandpa, and I will return it to grandpa tomorrow." If you want to throw it, you can go to your grandfather and tell him. The bow and this knife in my hand were left to me by my master. What you say doesn't count. Please, do not send it". Then Li Xiao opened the door and made a gesture of please.

Sanniang trembled angrily and said, "I can't control you anymore." So he reached for the knife on the table. It doesn't matter if I'm scared or not.

Seeing this, Li Xiao dodged, flashed to the table, picked up the knife and dodged.

Li Xiao looked at Sanniang and said coldly: "Don't mess with me, you think I don't know you." You secretly don't let my aunt wash my clothes, secretly don't prepare food for me, and you want me to fend for myself when I'm sick. Daddy isn't at home now, but Grandpa is. Just these things, do you dare to go to grandpa with me and say"?
