In the dark night forest, the remaining Tusun people were like elks being chased by fierce beasts, panicked, and were picked up by the eldest prince and others one by one.

By the time the last two people were left, they were already in a state of complete collapse and despair, and they had no strength to continue running, so they fell to their knees and begged for mercy as if they were fated.

The eldest prince held the knife at this time, walked out of the shadows, stepped forward, and was not polite at all, slashed one of them to death, leaving the rest of the person scattered, but the eldest prince had already ordered: "Fat fish, Zhao Yi, tie up this dog thing." ”

Fat Yu and Zhao Yi stepped forward, and quickly picked up the Tusun soldier with their hands and feet, leaving no wisps, and then tore open the Tusun soldier's clothes, rolled them into ropes, and tied the Tusun soldier's arms back.

After doing this, the two searched around for a while, making sure that there was no live mouth, and then came back, Zhao Yi said triumphantly: "Big boy, everything is cleaned up, and this one is left." ”

Fighting all night, several people were also physically exhausted, just sat down in the forest, the fat fish took off the wine bag from his waist and threw it to the eldest prince, the eldest prince took it, opened the stopper, raised his head and wanted to drink, suddenly thought of something, turned his head and saw Qin Xiao sitting beside him, handed over the wine bag, and said with a smile: "Little brother, drink." ”

Qin Xiao was stunned, but immediately laughed, knowing that the eldest prince was a compliment to himself, and he was not polite, so he took it and poured it up.

This night of fighting wits with the Tusun people, the blood surged, at this time has not completely calmed down, a sip of liquor into the stomach, the whole body suddenly a burst of heat, but indescribable pleasure.

Fat Yu saw that although Qin Xiao was young, he was very bold in drinking, and he was not embarrassed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Yi couldn't help but say: "Brother, save a little, there are still several people lined up." ”

Qin Xiao handed the wine bag to the eldest prince, raised his arm to wipe his mouth with his sleeve, the eldest prince also took a mouthful, Zhao Yi reached out to grab it, but the fat fish opened Zhao Yi's hand, took the wine bag himself, rolled his eyes and said: "No one can work hard, drinking is faster than anyone else, this is my wine bag, what are you robbing?" ”

"Dead fatty, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Yi lowered his face: "What does it mean that no one can work?" Lao Tzu cut six tonight, that's not enough? ”

The fat fish took a sip, but it was covered with a stopper, and said slowly: "The eldest prince is well commanded, I killed ten, this little brother rescued the eldest prince, the three of us are naturally qualified to drink, you have the weakest credit, this wine is really undrinkable." ”

Zhao Yi said hatefully: "Okay, dead fat man, you have done such a desperate job, let's see how Lao Tzu cleans you up in the future." He clasped his arms around his chest: "Even if you beg Lao Tzu now, Lao Tzu won't take a sip." ”

The eldest prince looked at Qin Xiao and said, "Little brother has good skills, who did he learn from?" ”

"Eldest Prince, you don't believe it." Qin Xiao sighed, he grabbed the arrow with his bare hands, and the three of the eldest prince all saw it in their eyes, knowing that it was impossible for them to turn a blind eye, so he could only say: "At that time, when I saw the cold arrow shooting, I was in a hurry, and I didn't want to reach out to grab it, and I didn't know that I grabbed it, so I really didn't have any ability." The eldest prince and these two uncles are capable, and twenty or thirty Tusun people have been cleaned up by you. ”

"It's also a good location." Seeing that Qin Xiao avoided the question, the eldest prince did not continue to entangle, but said with a smile: "I was in a hurry, and my brain didn't understand it for a while, but fortunately you reminded me, let's go up the mountain." ”

Zhao Yi couldn't help but nod and said, "Little brother, the eldest prince's words are reasonable. At that time, my mind was also confused, and I didn't think of running into the mountains, if it weren't for that, we would all be shot to death by this group of dogs. He smiled and said: "When we enter the mountain, we have a geographical advantage, and the Tusun people have become a group of blind people." ”

"These should be the elite people of the Tusun tribe." The eldest prince's expression became cold: "If it weren't for the mountains, we wouldn't really be opponents." ”

Zhao Yi immediately said: "Eldest prince, how did the Tusun people come to Xiling?" There are dozens of them, and they don't have wings, so it is impossible for them to cross the long ridge, could it be that they ran from the side of the Great Gobi? ”

"To say you're a pig brain is a pig brain." Fat Fish sneered: Even if they have the ability to come out of the Great Gobi, dozens of horsemen and horses appear in Zhen County, can they not be discovered? Tonight was not an accident, they obviously came prepared, and even knew exactly where the eldest prince was, all of which proved that tonight's raid was well prepared. ”

Zhao Yi thought for a while and said, "Dead fatty, what you said this time makes sense." ”

"When did I say something that didn't make sense?" Fat Fish said lightly.

Zhao Yi frowned and said, "But in Yuwen County, who dares to attack the eldest prince?" Isn't that looking for death? ”

"If we hadn't entered the mountain tonight, the eldest prince would have been very lucky." Fat Fish said lightly: "They are not looking for death, they are trying to kill." ”

What else did Zhao Yi say, the eldest prince suddenly coughed, Zhao Yi glanced at Qin Xiao, and immediately didn't continue.

Qin Xiao knew that the eldest prince obviously didn't want to say too much in front of him.

Fighting tonight, Qin Xiao knew that the eldest prince was calm, not a hot-headed person, and his mind should be very thoughtful.

Although he saved him once tonight by grabbing an arrow with his bare hands, it was obviously impossible for the eldest prince to be completely unguarded against himself because of this, and he was still wary after all.

Qin Xiao didn't care, if it was himself, it would be impossible to trust a person so easily.

"Dapeng, they don't know what's going on." Zhao Yi frowned and said: "I saw that the Tusun people sent out more than a dozen people to chase them, their horses were extremely fast, and they ...... Dapeng!" With a worried look on his face, he didn't continue.

Although the fat fish looked solemn, it seemed to be comforting the eldest prince: "Dapeng is very clever, and his equestrian skills are only above those Tusun people, and our horses are not bad, so there may not be any problems." ”

The eldest prince obviously knew that even if he was worried at this time, it would be useless, so he got up and said, "Let's go back first and find Duan Cheng and the two of them." ”

Qin Xiao knew that Duan Cheng must have been one of the two people who were shot by the Tusun people on the way to the pursuit, and the eldest prince was going back to find their corpses.

At that moment, the four of them escorted the naked Tusun soldier down the mountain.

They hunted a lot, and were very familiar with the terrain of the mountains, and although they lured the Tusun soldiers deep into the mountains and forests, they were in the middle of the mountains at this time, but it only took more than an hour to descend the mountain.

When going up the mountain, the eldest prince abandoned the horse, and dozens of Tusun people could only abandon the horse and hike up the mountain, most of the horses had already disappeared, but at the foot of the mountain there were more than a dozen horses eating wild grass leisurely.

Originally, I was worried that I could only walk on foot after going down the mountain, but when I saw a horse, several people were very happy, and at this time, it was natural that they didn't care whether it was their own horse or not, and they each went up to lead a horse.

"Can the little brother ride a horse?" The eldest prince led two horses over and threw the reins of one horse to Qin Xiao.

When Qin Xiao was in the Governor's Mansion, he occasionally found an opportunity to ride a horse, but his equestrian skills were really commonplace, so he naturally couldn't compare with these people, so he was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not good to ride." ”

"It doesn't matter." The eldest prince smiled: "Everything must be experienced." In Xiling, the ability to ride a horse is essential. ”

Qin Xiao nodded, holding the reins of the horse, and at this moment, he saw the fat fish circling the horse, and said, "Prince, this is not a horse breed in the desert grassland, it is an authentic Xiling horse." ”

The eldest prince also circled the horse, and the expression on his face became more and more cold.

Qin Xiao also knows that there are many breeds of horses in this world, and ordinary people may not be able to see the way, but the real good horse people can see the difference at a glance.

Today, the best horses are naturally pure grassland horses from the Mobei grassland, followed by the horse breeds of Monan and Moxi.

To Xiling, there is also a large grassland under Qilian Mountain, which is extremely suitable for raising horses, and Xiling Gate Valve must supply nearly 1,000 good horses to the imperial court every year, after all, within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, only Xiling Qilian Mountain can produce real war horses.

The war horses of the Vedic people are extremely patient and have a strong physique, but when it comes to speed, not to mention that they cannot be compared with the steppe horses, they cannot even be compared with the Xiling horses.

The Tusun people rode a Xiling horse to attack and kill the eldest prince, and Qin Xiao naturally knew immediately that there was something strange about it.

The eldest prince was just silent for a while, and did not say a word, threw the Tusun soldier on the horse, lay on the horse's back, and then turned over on the horse, urging the horse to go to the east, the fat fish and the two were afraid that the eldest prince would lose, so they got on the horse and followed, Qin Xiao also turned over and got on the horse, and when he let go of the hooves of the horse under his seat, he could no longer see the shadow of the three people in front of him.

Qin Xiao sighed, thinking that the eldest prince had a saying that was not wrong, being in Xiling, riding a horse was really a must-have skill.

With his own equestrian skills, if he is really pursued by cavalry, he is afraid that he will not be able to run far, and he will be easily caught up.

However, he knew the direction of the eldest prince, and he was not in a hurry, and did his best to move forward, and when he turned around, he saw that there were nearly ten horses on the grass behind him, and the Tusun people who caught up with the mountain were all dead, and these horses naturally became ownerless horses.

The horses that are fast in the Governor's Mansion are very old and not fast, and any of the official horses here are far beyond the Governor's Mansion, and he thought to himself that if these horses were sent to Han Yunong's hands, Han Yunong would not be crazy with joy.

Even if the horses were exchanged for silver, it would be a huge amount of money.

But this can only be thought about in the heart, knowing that it is never possible.

After going forward for a long time, he saw the sound of horses' hooves, but the eldest prince and several people had already turned back, Qin Xiao was even more embarrassed, the eldest prince galloped closer, slowed down the horse's speed, and didn't feel that Qin Xiao had anything wrong, but his face was very solemn.

After the fat fish and the two came up, Qin Xiao saw that he and Zhao Yi were each carrying a corpse on their horses, and his heart was also gloomy.

He knew that since these people could go out hunting with the eldest prince, and they laughed freely with each other, and they were not too restrained, he knew that these people had a deep relationship with the eldest prince, and they lost two subordinates tonight, and the eldest prince's mood was naturally very sad.

"Little brother, do you have a place to go?" The eldest prince rode on horseback, looked at Qin Xiao and asked.

Qin Xiao thought that I was going to Fengganfu City, but he could only say: "Wander around, see if you can find a suitable partner, and you can't keep begging for food." ”

"That makes sense." The eldest prince nodded and said: "If you want, you go with me, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but it is not a problem to eat a full stomach, if you really want to find something to do, I can also help you." ”

"This ..... Isn't it too much trouble? ”

"You saved my life, you are your own brother, don't say anything else." Although the eldest prince was in a heavy mood, he still barely squeezed out a smile: "By the way, I am Yuwen Chengchao, you are the same as before, just call me the eldest prince!" ”
