Chapter 277: Rolling Grass
The autumn sun, which has gradually slipped westward, is slightly hotter, but the upcoming expedition has burned everyone's mood.
The military exercise on the map in the main account of the Mo people began in the early morning and lasted for several hours, and finally came to an end.
Most of the men who came out of the tent in twos and threes showed a frame like an arrow, and their stomachs were filled in the fierce discussion, and the next long journey may not be able to eat their own delicious food for a long time. Whistles, cheers, and even jokes are mixed with each other, unscrupulous.
A few young men who were at the forefront raised their voices triumphantly, but as soon as the voice was thrown into the air, it wilted as if they were being choked by the neck.
The crowd laughed and cursed, but when they saw what was happening in front of them, their voices and footsteps froze in place at the same time. The organic spirit took a few steps to the side to make way for the way, and everyone did the same, and Xiao Hong, who was originally blocked behind, clearly saw the situation ahead.
Zhou Manyun, who was sitting firmly on a brown horse, was staring at him condescendingly with a plain face like snow jade, and his right hand hanging down his side was holding the restless and kicking hoofed shadow.
Although the woman in front of her was silent, Xiao Hong could see the grievances surging in her eyes at a glance, and she was screaming at herself.
The laughter of the onlookers rang out again. The kind elder reached out and patted Xiao Hong's shoulder, smiled and encouraged him to ignore others and go with his wife. In their opinion, Man Yun, who was quietly waiting outside the tent, just wanted to give her husband an unexpected surprise who would leave tomorrow.
Xiao Hong's steps couldn't help but be a little sluggish, and his mind was full of thoughts. A few words to explain to his wife swirled around his chest, but he felt that there was no agreement.
The reins that Shadow Horse was released threw towards Xiao Hong in the air, Zhou Manyun didn't reserve time for him to greet in front of people at all, the horse pedaled lightly, and the brown steed that suddenly accelerated passed by him. Leaping high over a wooden fence, he ran into the vast field ahead.
The standing shadow screamed in displeasure, protesting against the woman's disregard for abandoning it, and denouncing the stupid stake-like man next to him. Then, Xiao Hong, who was satisfied, humped and neatly turned over the saddle, opened his four hooves and chased forward.
A few dutiful guards wanted to find horses to follow immediately. But he was stopped by Uncle Darizhuo with a serious face and a few Mo people.
"Sister Yun has a horse pole, and she shouldn't go too far."
The most ferocious beasts in the grasslands of Wulianghai are wolves, but they are afraid of the herdsmen's harnesses, and the long poles used for grazing are also good tools for wolves. What's more, the nearby pastures were cleared before they set up camp. The vigorous Xiao Hong followed Man Yun, ran around along the lake, and then found a place to untie the horse and fall into the saddle, so there would not be too much danger.
What's more, just one glance just now, the vicious-eyed Da Rizhuo had already seen clearly that the horse pole that Zhou Manyun was carrying was two!
A fresh breeze blowing from the sea swept through the barely breastless horse pine on the edge of the river. The horses walking in it are like boats in the green sea, and the green waves are sharply parted and gently re-closed.
The blade of grass scratched its body lightly, and after Shadow snorted helplessly, it finally made its owner realize.
Xiao Hong quickly untied the saddle and slapped the horse's buttocks, and the shadow horse bared his teeth and shook his head to find the brown horse that had dared to run in front of it just now. It is ready to use its strength to teach the brown horse a serious lesson, not that it can't catch it. It's that the man treats the woman with a weak heart, and has been deliberately keeping a distance from the body of a horse. It's a rare failure.
Xiao Hong is indeed weak-hearted. He hesitated to stand two or three feet away from Man Yun's side, his throat moving lightly, and he couldn't make a normal sound after swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Zhou Manyun, who was kneeling on the grass, didn't pay attention to the man next to him at all.
The ends of two lassoed poles, about two feet long, rested on her laps, shining with a calm and beautiful bronze color. There is a braid knot made of horsetail hair on the tip of each set of horse poles, which is smooth and beautiful. Man Yun's fingers flew up, but he twisted the two braids into one seriously.
The knot, which was a little clumsy because of the first actual hands-on, was completed. Zhou Manyun breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly stood up holding the long pole. Turning his head to look left and right, he finally stopped in place and thrust the two long poles that were close together into the soft grass.
The weight of the pole that can trap the Mahler wolf is not light, and Man Yun, who is holding back his strength, failed to do so. The body leaned to the side with the pole without any discouragement.
"Manyun!" , Xiao Hong, who jumped behind Man Yun in one step, hugged her with a full embrace. As soon as he stabilized his wife's shoulders, his big hands immediately reached down and folded her small hands, and his strong arms held her, and he firmly inserted the double rods in one fell swoop.
The knots, which immediately fluttered in the wind, whirled happily.
People who live in the vast grassland, who can meet and love each other in the same grassland, may be separated again as soon as the season changes. The sky is the curtain, the earth is the seat, and the knots of the horse's sleeve poles and knots that blow high in the wind mark the boundaries of the oldest cave houses, and no one will disturb the children who are happy under each pair of long poles.
Thinking of the story he had told Man Yun, Xiao Hong's eyes became soft and warm. He slowly let go of the hand on the pole, his arms gently wrapped around his wife's slender waist, and the lips resting on the side of her neck also darkened his voice, "Man Yun! ”
But the corners of her mouth were still filled with the unique fragrance of her name, and suddenly the body that was twisted by Man Yun's arms over her shoulders had already risen into the air, and slammed a piece of grass into the ground.
Should I be glad that I was taken by my daughter-in-law to the empty meadow to clean up, even if it is not easy to fall and get injured, it will not lose face? Xiao Hong, who was holding his elbows and strengthening half of his body, watched Man Yun come over angrily, and simply lay down and closed his astringent eyes.
"Bastard! Xiao Xiaoliu, you bastard! He kicked and punched the man on the ground a few times in a row, but the result of not resisting was just that he couldn't really make a ruthless move. I wanted to beat him up, but it was like flirting with fists and legs!
The more Zhou Manyun thought about it, the more angry he became, the more aggrieved he became, so he simply let go of his hand and squatted beside Xiao Hong without any image and cried loudly.
"Man Yun, I didn't intend to hide the matter of going to Yanzhou, I just wanted you to know later......"
"Shut up!". Zhou Manyun, who was crying so much, jumped up, wiped his tears with his hand, and said indignantly: "You did it on purpose!" If you want to fight Yanzhou, you should have planned it as early as Yunzhou! What took me to see my grandmother was a lie from the beginning! ”
The Yandi of the pseudo-Qi tube is different from before, and the Hanguo in the north will not defend Yunzhou, and the overall defense line is loose in the north and tight in the south, and it is a good strategy to make a detour to the north and assault. Just three years after the previous life. The army of the Jing Dynasty also used the same method, and it was the person in front of him who led the army to break through. It's just that the process of everything in this life is faster than in the previous life, which also makes the war in Yanzhou advanced.
"Yes! Although the specific plan had not been finalized at that time, the secret letter with his grandmother did only mention the matter of joining forces first. Bringing you here is a temporary idea. ”
"Tell you the truth! Now I know to be honest! Man Yun roared like a female tiger, and the tears that flowed down her cheeks were even more surging, "If it weren't for your mother drugging me, you would have waited for Yanzhou to bring me to see my grandmother, right?" I don't dare to say that you are in charge of the Mo clan borrowing soldiers, because I am afraid that I will think that this man does not dislike me for having Hu female blood, but in fact, it is because I have soldiers and horses from other families that can be used. Isn't that right?"
"Zhou Manyun! These things are meant to be one and the same! Borrowing soldiers, Mrs. Mo Zhi has her own considerations, and she will not give her clansmen's lives in vain because of the love of her children, and I will not use you as a negotiation condition. And you should know that I have never disliked you! Xiao Hong, who had been lying down honestly to show weakness, sat up suddenly, clasped Man Yun's shoulders with his big hands, and bit the words with his eyes.
"But you're afraid that your family will dislike me!"
They were bigger than their eyes like beasts that gnawed at each other, and Manyun's tears were suddenly closed. The slightly raised face was full of rebelliousness, "You want to win a big victory, but you can exchange your family's recognition of me." But I'm afraid of losing, and even afraid of death! Turning me to Wulianghai is a back road you bothered to find for me, right? If you are defeated, I don't have to suffer the wrath of your family in Yunzhou, if you ...... If you die, I can live freely if I stay in the Mo tribe. It's like being a widow who is not recognized by her in-laws! ”
She's right! Xiao Hong let go of his hands dejectedly and hung his head silently.
The ancients said that the order of the family and the country is very reasonable, and the poisoning of Man Yun by his mother before was his confidence from the root. All along, I have been anxious about Manyun's future. In fact, whether you can contact the Mo people to borrow soldiers or not. It is also imperative to go to Yanzhou, and there are far more than 3,000 soldiers and horses who have sneaked to Yanzhou in batches.
In the final preparations for the war, finding the Mo clan in Wulianghai was regarded as a blessing by Xiao Hong, half because it increased the chance of victory, and the other half was because Man Yun had something to rely on.
"You think you can fool me? You can deceive my ......", Man Yun asked repeatedly, without the slightest irony, all poignant.
is a husband and wife, and they have been "doing evil" together since they were young, and it is not difficult for her to understand him and deduce his ideas with heart. But the more this happened, the more uneasy it became. As a general, it is right to think about defeat before thinking about victory, but it is even a very bad sign to worry about it.
Tomorrow he's going to go!
Man Yun closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and then slammed his head into Xiao Hong's chest.
Like a brave beast clawing its prey, Zhou Manyun proudly looked down at her husband who was caught off guard and knocked down again, and said in a dumb voice: "Xiao Xiaoliu! Listen, I don't need you to bother planning the future! ”
The woman who was sitting directly on Xiao Hong's waist indifferently ripped off the headscarf that wrapped her hair, and then a pair of soft and jade arms struggled out of the self-pulling open clothes, and straightened his handsome face that had just been buried in the blades of grass in annoyance.
With a somewhat reluctant glance at her gaze, she straightened in a daze as she touched her body.
The sunlight plated her body with a layer of bright and warm golden light, and the black Teng snake outlined on the soft base plate like white jade made her look even more scaly, like a living thing.
"Originally, I didn't, but today I just asked the silver to help with the poison drawing! Mohuluojia, the python god worshipped by the barbarians in the southern borderlands. The hands indifferently untied the Hu clothes on his body, and the corners of Zhou Manyun's mouth hooked up a hint of sarcasm, "Hu girl? What if she has always been despised as a bearded girl? Even if I peel off a layer of bearded skin, I am already poisoned into the bone marrow! ”
Man Yun directly took Xiao Hong's hand and encouraged his fingertips to explore along the beautiful snake pattern.
"Afraid that I won't be able to take care of myself or that I won't be able to live well without you?" , Man Yun first giggled as if he was afraid of itching, and then he bowed down, his eyes firmly fixed on Xiao Hong's pupils, and gritted his teeth seriously: "Xiao Hong! A woman like me is inherently unique! Why should I feel aggrieved by other people's opinions! Who is in the way of my XX man! I want to have a child of my own and do their! ”
Xiao Hong's brows couldn't help but furrow in the woman's sudden series of foul mouths, but soon his eyes were red with the newly poured words.
"Just such a natural and nurtured flesh and blood of a bearded girl, a barbarian girl's bones, no matter the south or the north, you can live freely! So in this life, I am the only one who doesn't want you and abandon your share! Therefore, if you dare to die, don't expect me to guard your chastity, there are many good men in the world......"
"You're mine!" , like a small needle pricking people's hearts, he didn't want to listen to it anymore, Xiao Hong turned over and pressed the woman on the blade of grass, and roared in a low voice. Other words are too easy, but just thinking that she will follow another man, she can't suppress her anger anymore.
"Then you'll prove it to me, okay?" , The situation was transposed, and the woman who was strong suddenly softened her figure, her jade arms climbed her neck, and she gently arched her body to catch the hot kiss that the man pressed on her lips......
The breeze held its wings, and an eagle soaring across the water of the Wuliang Sea swept towards the pastures on the shore of the lake.
The sharp eagle's eyes condescendingly see the rhythmic creatures on the vast grassland.
By the sea, the horsetail tassels raised high on the two sets of horse poles are like light and agile dragonflies showing off their wings. The meadows they guarded were vibrant, their sturdy sticks swaying in the wind, the round fruits of the southern snake vines orange-red, the knees of porcelain white and golden sun squeezing heavily over the brocade grass, the loss leaves pouring out luscious and sticky grass juice that crept into the black soil where it had taken root.
Spinner, tumble...... The ever-changing forms of the grass aroused the vigilance of the goshawk, and the graceful gliding posture in the air searched deeper into the grass.
A white jade-like arch tensed tightly, and with a strange low roar, it slammed towards the sky.
The eagle chirped from its spiky beak and flapped its wings as hard as it could into the sky, suddenly remembering the time when it had been kicked to death while hunting a rabbit last autumn.
"You have no other choice!" , calmed down a little and gasped for breath, and Man Yun, who was covered in sweat, laughed and hugged her husband's cheeks, "It's better to come back alive honestly!" If you want to die in this life, you can only die in my hands! ”
Don't just live, win! Xiao Hong closed his eyes, nodded heavily, and leaned his head against Man Yun's neck. (To be continued......)
