Xiqiang was born on the plateau and is also tolerant of extreme cold.

"It is hard-working, the same as beasts. Even if a woman gives birth, she does not take shelter from the wind and snow. ”

In the cold winter, the only restraint is the herd. When the snow is deep, grazing is not possible. Only in the valley of the turtle, it is fed by the accumulated forage. If you go far away, you will drive cattle and sheep, and slaughter them along the way.

Similar to the Qiang. The hippo is also highly adaptable to the environment. Grasp the fat quickly, lose fat slowly, and keep the fat strong. And it is extremely resistant to rough feeding, and has a wide range of feeding. Especially in the dry grass season, it can eat all kinds of weeds, residual grasses in various seasons, and even fragrant firewood, willow shoots, etc. When the snow has no hooves, it can feed on the snow; When the snow is knee-long, you can shave snow for feeding. The water is thin ice, and you can also use your front hooves to break the ice and drink water. If the ice is too thick, you can also quench your thirst by eating snow.

Don't be too tough in survivability.

The Qiang people are benefiting from the benefits of the horses in the river meander, coming and going like the wind, and plundering. For the troubled side of the county.

Nowadays, the importance of horses cannot be overstated.

It is impossible for the king of this to sit idly by and watch the Hequ horse being occupied by the Qiang.

Saying. In the mountains in the west, travel for a day. The family sent off the team and set up camp on the shore of Taoshui.

"The river is east, and the water is poured into it." "Geographical Chronicles" said: "The water comes out of the plug outside the Qiang." "Shazhou Ji" said: "Taoshui and Dianjiang water, both out of the Taishan Mountain, Shannan is the source of the Dianjiang River, Shandong is the source of the Taojiang water." "The platform is also a different name for the west."

The felt tents unique to the Qiang people are arranged along the river channel.

Break the ice to get water, kill cattle and slaughter sheep. Cook and eat with little broiling.

Even if she marries a noble girl, she is not idle. In each campplace where a bonfire is set up, there are noble ladies who run by the fire.

The bonfires were made up of dried cow dung and animal bones. There is no such thing as the foul smell you might expect. Instead, there is another faint smell of grass. Mixed with the bone fragrance when the animal bones are burned, the peculiar smell is not obvious. The only drawback is that the smoke chokes people. Therefore, when camping, choose to open the river bay. With the help of cold air, all the smoke can be blown away.

It is also because of the burning of cow dung, and it is rarely burned.

A bonfire is enough for hundreds of people around to eat and drink.

Busy raising livestock, taking care of horses, and the noble lady personally brought food.

This is the daily life of the Qiang people, and no one has paid attention to it. Then there was a noble lady who walked through the tent with a food basin, and when people were unprepared, she flashed into a tent.

The owner of the tent was seen sitting cross-legged with his back to him. The noble lady quietly stepped forward and asked in a Qiang language.

No one responded. Eagerly stretched out his hand, but was grabbed by the wrist.

When the man turned around, the noble girl's face suddenly turned bloodless: "It's you!" ”

"Why is the noble lady here?" The one who speaks, not the other. It is the rear army Sima who returns to the law.

"For the adults, for the adults, for the adults...... "The noblewoman replied in a trembling voice.

"Unfortunately. Zhong Qiang, who led the way, has been invited to the banquet. Instead, let the noble lady take an empty trip. Cheng Lugui said with a smile.

"No, it's okay." The noble lady tried to struggle, but how could she break free.

Seeing that Cheng Guilu's face turned cold, the noble girl remembered Asuro's words yesterday. I was shocked and full of regret and hatred in my heart. For a while, the flowers were discolored, and they were at a loss. The line between life and death messes up the mind.

"I heard that the noble girl is the sister of the handsome Qu Dang. Know what is going on. If you see Zhong Qiang today, you will break through the sky. Your death is small, if the disaster affects the captain and Zuo Cheng, the lord will be angry and bleed. Burn and extinguish! After saying that, Cheng Lu returned to this and let go and left on his own.

The noble lady sat on the ground in the tent and wept in a low voice.

Cheng Lugui lifted the curtain and came out, just as he saw the noble girl Ah Su kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you for not killing."

Cheng Lugui nodded lightly: "The so-called Qiang Hutong customs." We and other northerners are all people from outside the country, and we have lived in a bitter cold place for a long time. They were also used to plunder the border counties of Dahan for the sake of hunger. The sword has no eyes, and there is no resentment in life and death. Now, all of our people have entered the country of Ji, and as a national, they are also 'Han people'. The lord has seventy concubines, most of whom are of the Hu family. Eight sons and two daughters, also mixed-race. The lord once said that the Han people are out of the yellow heat. And the Qiang people are the descendants of Emperor Yan. is the same race, why fight to the death. Although I can't understand the 'great harmony of the world' in the heart of the lord, the lord regards us as confidants and has many preferential treatments. In this life, you should follow the Lord, overcome thorns and thorns, and forge ahead. Take a look at the lord's world, how it is the same. ”

"......," Asu was silent. This sentence comes from the mouth of the Xianbei people, which is more convincing than the mouth of the Han people.

The lord also said that if you just want to eat and sleep, you can farm. Why kill? After speaking, Cheng Lugui walked away.

A good night's sleep.

After getting up, I walked for another half day.

was led by Zhong Qiang to wind around the mountains. Long lost. Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask, "Xicheng, do you remember where you came?" ”

"Naturally, I can't remember." Xi Zhicai replied with a smile.

"That's good." Zhang Fei couldn't help frowning: "Even if you rob the Qiang people, you can't get around this west-leaning mountain." Then there will be a fierce battle. ”

"Don't worry, captain. I don't remember where I came, but I was prepared. Xi Zhicai rushed to the troop in the team and lightly clicked: "The mystery is here." ”

Zhang Fei was overjoyed: "Every time something comes first, the drama is very human!" ”

Xi Zhicai smiled happily.

In the middle of the day, he finally arrived at the royal court.

A large felt tent built in an unknown swamp. Around the swamp, there are countless tents scattered. The Qiang people are coming out of the tent in twos and threes, looking curiously. There was also a large group of Qiang riders, who rushed to hear the news. The send-off team was surrounded by groups.

Although it is the cold winter season. But the swamp was not frozen. From a distance, the clouds are steaming and the smoke is filled. When they approached, there was a heat wave in their faces.

As far as the eye can see, the swamp is full of blowholes, which are occasionally spewing out columns of red-hot smoke accompanied by rising water vapor.

There will be hot springs under the Ze.

The Qiang rider who led the way said a Qiang language, and as if there was no one around, he began to take off his clothes.

The swamp heat wave is rolling, how can you wear a fur winter coat. It is good to be naked, and have a cloth to cover your shame.

The noble lady had already prepared. Under the Dahua felt, they are all dressed in thin clothes. There is no need to be naked. Zhang Fei and others, under the fur, are all enamel armor, how can they show people in person.

Seeing that no one undressed when he was burning, it didn't matter if he led the way and rode on Qiang. Then he went barefoot into the water and walked towards Zezhong first.

Waiting for the ripples to dispel the fog on the water surface. Only then did the crowd discover that there was a row of large and small stones, hidden in shallow water. Step on the rocks to pass.

Follow the guide to disperse the smoke. From a distance, I saw a miserable white yak skull, hanging high on the beam of the tent. The eyes of the black hole were silently staring at the other side of the stone path. Where the multitude stood.

"Wait here and be on guard." Zhang Fei Chong Cheng said.

"Whoa."

He also rushed to the Dongqiang team who pretended to be an envoy and made a look. Zhang Fei then led his eighteen horsemen, blessed a group of nobles and drama talents, and walked towards the royal tent standing in the swamp.

The heat wave was pressing all the way. I had just taken a few steps and was already sweating profusely. Fortunately, Zhong Qiang built a culvert in Zezhong. Direct the hot soup to the shore. Passing through this ring of high-temperature vapor, the temperature decreases. Although it is still above normal temperature, people can endure it. It's nothing more than a summer scorch.

Rao is so. Along the way, Zhang Fei and others also split their heads and covered their faces, like fishing in water.

After 500 steps, I finally stepped on the waterfront wooden bridge. Go up the bridge and walk another hundred steps, and you have reached the front of the king's tent steps.

Except for the Zhongqiang people who stripped into Ze. Those who enter in full clothes are by no means a family of burning Dangqiang. And the guards outside the royal court have long been accustomed to it.

Then he made a bow, and respectfully invited the noblewoman and others to enter the account.

It is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and what is there to fear. Zhang Fei strode in with his head held high.

When the eyes are differentiated, I can't help but feel red and red, and my heart is beating wildly.

Bah! Is it really good to wait for this kind of behavior?
