Beidi County, Hanyang County, Longxi County, Jincheng County.

On the seventh day, it passed through four counties and fifteen counties.

It was only at this time that Ma Yue truly realized what the word "Central Plains" meant to the people. The poverty of the desolate people in various places along the way is almost gradually rising, before Fufeng County was close to the division, and the feeling was not clear enough, and then the family moved to Longxian County and it was the state governance, and the conditions were somewhat better, so that he always did not understand the suffering of the people of Liangzhou deeply enough.

On this trip, he understood how bitter Liangzhou was, and how rich the Central Plains was.

All the way to the west, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and most of the people encountered are Qiang people driving cattle and sheep, and the vicissitudes of life carried by nomads are engraved on their faces, and the fertile pastures may not bring them a comfortable environment.

The herders are self-sufficient, their clothes are animal skins, their shoes are animal skins, they are taken from nature, and their ferocity is built on fighting against the sky and surviving day after day. The wind could not prevent them from surviving, the natural disasters in Liangzhou three or five times a year could not prevent them from surviving, and the bandits and bandits could not stop them from surviving.

These things that can't kill them make them stronger.

Ma Yue has seen children as young as four or five years old learn to bow and arrow, and he has also seen children of seven or eight years old fall off a horse and climb up to conquer a foal.

What's more, didn't he run into the mountains to hunt wolves when he was twelve years old?

Human potential is forced out, and if you don't fight for it, you never know how strong you will become.

Although he is a Han Chinese, he has never set foot on the land of the Central Plains in the true sense, and this time he came to Jincheng to stimulate his urgent desire to go to the land outside Liangzhou to see it, he wanted to go out, and even he wanted to take them out.

Take the Qiang people, Di people, and Liangzhou Han'er out, let them take a look at the great rivers and mountains of the Han family, wear gorgeous clothes made of silk and satin, and drink a bowl of Central Plains wine that is not spicy.

Even if it's just for a short time.

Although he knew that this was impossible, the people who had lived on this land for hundreds of years were accustomed to it, they were accustomed to life on the grassland, they were accustomed to the dome covering the four wilderness when they went out, they were accustomed to the wild wolves harassing the sheep at home, they were accustomed to the wind-dried faces of the Saibei, and they were also accustomed to drawing their swords to each other because of a cow or sheep.

The women had enough strength to have children, because they didn't know if they would grow into one after seven or eight. The men spend their days in the company of scimitar horses, drinking and eating meat, because they can't guess what they will die at, robbers who are plundering everywhere? Or is it a wolf that lurks in the day and emerges at night? They don't care, anyway, no ancestor in the entire community has lived past fifty, there is no need to be so sparing, the Han'er in Liangzhou are regarded as barbarians by the Central Plains, and their arrogance is regarded as ignorance of etiquette. For example, the Qiang people and the Di people, those scribes muttered all day long that their hearts would be different if they were not of our race, which was the sorrow of Liangzhou and the sorrow of the people of Liangzhou.

Everyone was dusty all the way, and there was no way to wash it off in this cold borderland, and the horse did not sleep well this night, and the neck pierced by the animal skin felt under him itched vigorously.

The yurt room is quite tight, better than the cold wind of eating and sleeping in the open a few days ago.

On the second day, Ma Yue walked out of the yurt and planned to run a few laps, but happened to see Dong Zhuo also coming out of his yurt, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Ma Yue reacted and hurriedly saluted.

Dong Zhuo waved his fat hand, and with a smile on his face, the meat was squeezed like a bun, "I didn't expect Erlang to get up early enough, why, accompany a certain person to ride a horse for a while?" ”

Ma Yue bowed his head and promised: "The captain is invited, how can he refuse." ”

Dong Zhuo's mount is a very majestic horse in the Western Regions, with a back that is taller than Ma Yue and four thick hooves, which is a rare good horse at a glance. Don't look at his fat body, but it is easy to get on the horse, just step on the pedal, and the person is already sitting firmly on the horse, seeing Ma Yue's Mo Yun involuntarily "Huh", "Why didn't Erlang ride those foals that were given to you?" ”

Dong Zhuo gave Ma Yue ten high-quality horses, and Ma Yue knew that there was no merit, so he put those horses in the family manor, and wanted to return them to Dong Zhuo, but he forgot about the hurry of getting up that morning.

Ma Yue had already ridden Moyun at this time, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "My lord sent ten high-quality horses, the kid is knowledgeable, and he knows that he is a good horse, but the kid also understands that there is no merit and no luck, and those ten horses are unacceptable." ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, "Erlang doesn't have to be polite, I heard that Mrs. Pei once said that your family is poor and still has more than ten Zhuang guests, and you and your brother have taken Zhuang guests to hunt for a living?" ”

"Yes, the younger you are, you are proficient in hunting, and you can hunt tigers and wolves."

Dong Zhuo's face turned gloomy when he heard this, "I also heard that you took several swords and three horses on the day you rescued Mrs. Pei, but is there such a thing?" ”

Ma Yue was puzzled in his heart and replied: "However, on a certain day, I took two bronze swords, five steel knives, and three horses are now idle at home. ”

"You dog! You refused to ask for a good horse sent to you, but you took that bad copper and iron, don't you look down on a certain Dong Zhuo! ”

Dong Zhuo's anger startled Ma Yue, and then he was a little angry, anyone who scolded him would not be comfortable, not to mention that Dong Zhuo scolded himself because he didn't want his horse, which made him angry and funny, and faded away and said with a playful look: "The horse of a certain captain who does not accept the captain does not look down on the captain, and he is not worried about the Lu family, and on the battlefield, what is the reason why Lao Tzu can't take the profits from the thief?" ”

Let's say it, Ma Yue said to Dong Zhuo on the horse, and slapped away.

Dong Zhuo also didn't control his temper just now, but it was too late to take it away, seeing Ma Yue's confession, he was stunned for a long time and laughed dumbly, "This little rabbit cub is so justifiable to take advantage of it." ”

Then he rode the horse to catch up with Ma Yue, he knew that Ma Yue, who was scolded, was angry and embarrassed to bow his head, so he got off the horse and shouted to Ma Yue's back: "Boy, get off the horse and accompany a certain to fight for a few rounds!" ”

As soon as Ma Yue heard this, he jumped off his horse, made a posture with his waist knife still on the grass, and attacked Dong Zhuo.

Twisting the waist pad step is a punch.

Dong Zhuo raised his arm in place, and his backhand was also a punch, which was strong and heavy.

After catching such a punch, Ma Yue knew that Dong Zhuo had the intention to let him, Dong Zhuo's strength was very great, far more than that, if he tried his best, Ma Yue would be more difficult to block.

Ma Yue, who blocked a punch, kicked the ground with his feet, and his backhand was an elbow bully, and Dong Zhuo took a step back to avoid the leg sweep.

The two sides fought back and forth fiercely, but it was just a warm-up for the two, after all, it was not a fight with their lives, and Ma Yue should be a feeding move when he was learning boxing with his eldest brother Ma Teng when he was young.

In an instant, it was already a hundred moves, and every five watches ran around the city for two hours in the morning, and Ma Yue's endurance had reached a terrifying level. In contrast, Dong Zhuo was always afraid of hurting him despite his strength, this guy had survived a hundred battles in the northwest, and Ma Yue was not an opponent in the competition, but unfortunately this was not a fight, and Dong Zhuo gradually became tired after a hundred moves.

After all, it was more than 200 catties of fat that dragged him down, and now Dong Zhuo is not as fat as in the history books, and he can only be said to be a little too thick.

Ma Yue made another punch, and when he saw Dong Zhuo stretching out his arm to stop him, he jumped suddenly and said, "Lord Captain is brave, and he is invincible." ”
