Chapter 3 Hu Guangyan buries the moon wheel
The glow is slightly dewy. Beneath the firmament of the sky was a vast fertile field, and in the distance a few horses were grazing on the sand dunes, with the occasional neighing.
A few cows lay lazily down the hillside, sometimes sticking out their tongues to roll up the grass in front of them.
The fiery red sun rose from the grassland, and the light shot through the milky white clouds on the horizon and fell on the grassland.
A gust of wind blows, the green grass is low, and the shepherd's long tune is heard.
"The breeze rolls the green waves, and the grassland is dark and fragrant. Hahaha"
The horse's hooves flew with the laughter of a young man.
"Brother Xian is really good, and he also makes poems."
Another male voice followed, more calm and powerful than the previous one.
"We're back again."
The young man said with emotion.
His face and facial features are upright, and there is a faint pride in his elegance.
The other man looked a little older, and he also had good eyebrows, like a son.
The two of them stood on their horses and looked around, the golden silence on the grassland, and the mountains were dressed in colorful evening clothes.
The bright red of the fiery clouds slowly faded, and the sky pulled up a black curtain.
The shepherds sat around the campfire, dancing or singing, drinking and eating, and mingling.
The aroma of wine is mixed with green aromas.
The bonfire smoked, obscuring the dawn moon.
"Hafu-sama and Hajin-sama, let's have this drink."
A shepherd said.
"!"
The three of them drank the wine.
The mare's milk wine tastes dry and mellow, and the stomach is warmed up with a glass.
"I didn't expect Lord Yu Fu and Lord Yu Zhen to go to the Central Plains, and I still remember our friends on the grassland."
The shepherd said.
"What are these words? You are the Lian clan and we are the same family. Is there such a thing as forgetting one's roots? β
Yuzhen Gongzi said.
"Hahaha, yes."
It was Lian who picked up the wine glass and drank it dry.
Seeing this, Prince Yufu said, "Actually, it's not just that we are thinking about you, but more importantlyβ"
Prince Yufu approached Shi Lian and said, "We are also here on the orders of King Wei this time. β
"King Wei! What does he want to do? β
It was Lian who looked at him.
"Naturally, I haven't forgotten my roots,"
Yufu Gongzi smiled and said, "Since the King of Wei moved inward, he never dared to have the idea of forgetting the people of the JΓ¬ tribe. I think that the soil of Guanzhong is fertile and the products are abundant; The land south of the Yangtze River is even more outstanding, and the beauties are like clouds. Sheng, singing and dancing, a prosperous and happy place, how dare one person enjoy it alone? β
"Needless to say, Lord Yufu,"
It was the Lian clan who shook his hand, "At the beginning, your Yufu clan followed the Tuoba King to move inward, and we didn't plan to leave because of the Lian clan, and now it's the same." Only the grassland is the world of the grassland people. You are your left prime minister, and I am my dashing person. β
"But you can't help but think about the other members of the Lian clan,"
Yufu Gongzi said positively, "Natural disasters are inevitable on the grassland, and the whole department will be hungry at that time." It's different with internal relocation, where you don't have to worry about food and clothing all year round. β
It was Lian who lowered his head and did not speak, as if in deep thought.
"We also brought some grapes and wines from the Western Regions, come on, let's try it!"
Hama broke the silence.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Oh no, no, no good, another cattle and sheep have been lost!" β
It was Lian who got up from the ground and shouted, "What! β
The other people dancing around the fire also stopped to look at them.
"One moment I saw it was still there, and the next moment it was gone."
The man said anxiously.
"That monster must not be far away, we must catch it this time!"
It was Lian who was angry, and he pulled out his legs and walked towards the horse.
The shepherds whispered, and some of them followed with anger on their faces.
The faces of the women and children were worried and frightened.
"What's going on?"
Hama asked the person who came to report the news.
"Alas. It's been half a year since I thought about it. At first, I always threw cattle and sheep, and thought that the wolf had taken them away. You must know that cattle and sheep are our friends of the grassland people, and we will not be willing to kill them unless we have to. But once, a group of people saw with their own eyes that it was a huge snake that had bitten the cow and sheep to death, and the snake swam away in a hurry, and there was still half of the sheep's body left, and we saw that there was a huge snake tooth mark on it,"
There was a mysterious expression on the man's face, "We've never seen a snake this big!" Some say it's a snake demon! The monster was sent down by the god of the steppe, because we don't give sacrifices. But Minister Lian didn't believe it, and now he has to catch it! β
Yufu Gongzi turned his eyes, and immediately got on his horse and left with the company's people.
Yu Zhen was puzzled, but he hurried to follow.
"What are you going to do?"
Yuzhen asked.
A confident smile appeared at the corner of Yufu Gongzi's mouth: "Go and complete the order of King Wei." β
"What should I do, I can't see it at all."
The ministry asked if it was Lian's.
At this time, the young man of Yu Fu caught up and said, "I know where it went, come with me." Drive! β
Yufu didn't give them a chance to speak, and slapped the horse's ass with his hand and ran forward.
Seeing this, Lian also rode his horse to catch up.
The rest followed.
Along the way, the grass was low, and the young man of Yufu was secretly shocked, this volume was indeed very large, and even he had never seen it.
A small hill appeared in front of me.
Yufu Gongzi stopped and motioned for the people behind him to be quiet.
"It's Minister Lian, this is a monster sent by the god of the grassland, if I can help you please take it away, it means that the will of heaven is so, I am here to save you, you must follow my persuasion and go to Wei with us, how about it?"
Yu Fu said.
It was Lian's face that was surprised: "You want to ...... this"
"Let Heaven decide,"
"I'm willing to use my life to prove it." β
He said he dismounted, untied a wine bag, and went alone.
He saw a large hole and climbed to the entrance of the cave from the side.
He knelt down with his head up to the sky, made a gesture that would only happen during a sacrifice, then took out the sac to show that it was an offering, and poured it down.
Then he leaned down and fell to the ground.
"What is Lady Feather-sama doing?"
It was Lian who lowered his voice and asked Yu Zhengongzi.
Yuzhen Gongzi looked at it and guessed, "It should be a sacrifice to the gods." β
After a while, sure enough, a voice sounded, and Yu Fu Gongzi was lying on the ground, and he could feel any trace of change.
There's a sound of swimming, okay, it's out!
Everyone saw a python emerge from the hole, and it turned out that the big hole was the size of its body, and the hole was drilled out by the snake.
The snake's head was exposed, there was a red heart on its forehead, and the fiery letter spit out, and its thin pupils were aimed at the people not far away.
The people realized the danger of their situation, but the steppe people were brave, and they took up their weapons.
The snake also sensed the danger, so the upper body stood up, and the mouth was wide open, and the sharp snake teeth could be seen dripping with venom.
The black snake was covered with dark golden patterns, and the scales of the snake's body were like iron armor, shining in the moonlight.
"Hahahaha!"
Yufu Gongzi stood on the hill and laughed, and everyone was shocked.
The serpent turned its head to look at him, and opened its mouth wide.
The prince immediately took out an orange-red powder from his hand and sprinkled it on the snake's mouth and head.
The snake seemed to be afraid of the thing, looked pained, and fled quickly into the hole.
Everyone didn't know why, but they were all surprised to see that the snake was very afraid of Yufu Gongzi.
Hafu Gongzi came down from above, walked to the entrance of the cave, and sprinkled orange powder on the hole.
"So it won't dare to come out......"
Before he finished speaking, the snake suddenly rushed out, as if it meant to fight hard.
If the snake wants to escape, then it has just gone in, and it can only go to get something important.
As soon as the snake touched the orange powder, it screamed in pain, and the snake's body sizzled, as if it had encountered something corrosive, and pus kept flowing down, and even the seemingly hard scale armor was damaged.
"Come on, brothers, it's time to show us archery!"
It was Lian who shouted, and he took the lead in taking out an arrow, took aim with his bow, and shot it.
