There were many animal skin shops in Jicheng, and Kunxiong and Feiyu ran for a whole afternoon before asking the purchase price of most of the animal skin shops, and reported to Li An after returning to the guest house.

After a comfortable night's stay in the inn, early the next morning, Li An and the others sold all the hides at the highest price and received five hundred gold.

Five hundred gold is exactly fifty, and the total weight is more than forty catties in later generations, which is quite heavy in the hand, which makes the three of them extremely excited.

"Big brother, the hides are sold out, shall we go back?"

Li An shook his head lightly: "If you come all the way, you naturally want to buy some good things." ”

"What to buy?"

"Buy a horse, and it has to be a good horse."

Ang Lee knows that horses are an extremely important means of transportation in Datang, and no horse will severely restrict travel, and horses have become the most zeitgeist-minded animal in Datang.

As for skis, they are too limited by the season, and they can only be used in areas with snow in winter, and the rest of the time can only be relied on horses.

The group of three walked to the horse market and prepared to pick three good horses.

"Shaolang, look at my horse, it only takes twenty-five runs."

As soon as I entered the horse market, there were horse vendors who introduced their horses.

This kind of inferior horse that only needs twenty-five times, Li An naturally looks down on it, and walks by with a slight shake.

"Big brother, those horses in front of you are good, all fat and healthy."

Naturally, Ang Lee also saw it and walked over.

"Good horse, really good horse, fat and healthy, with shiny fur." Li Ang was full of praise and gently stroked the horse's back.

"Shaolang, this is a good horse, you can't touch it."

The horse seller hurriedly stopped Li An, in his opinion, it was impossible for these rustic-dressed young men in front of him to afford good horses.

"How do you sell this horse?"

"Hmph, a fixed price, a hundred gold horses."

"Big brother, it's too expensive, don't buy it."

Li An also felt that the price was too expensive when he heard this, but he could see that these were good horses, and the price of good horses would naturally not be low.

"One hundred gold, why is it sold for such a high price?"

"Shaolang, the price of a good horse is naturally higher, and my good horses are equipped with good reins, whips, saddles, stirrups and hooves, you can use them when you buy them, in addition, I also send five days of good horse materials, this price has been for half a year, I think Shaolang is also a poor man, there are thirty ordinary horses here, buy one?"

"Kunxiong, give three hundred gold, buy three."

Li Anhao threw three hundred gold, and his brows did not wrinkle.

Looking at Huang Cancan's thirty pieces of gold, the horse dealer's surprised eyes were about to fall out, and he felt his cheeks burn.

"Childe forgives the sin, the grass people have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, the good horses are here, you can choose at will."

The horse dealer's face instantly reversed, and his attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Li An smiled indifferently, and Kunxiong and Feiyu each chose one, and led the horse out of the horse market, although Li An and the three of them usually do not ride horses, but Li Wu taught them to ride horses a few years ago, so they still have some riding skills, at least they will never fall off the horse easily.

"Big brother, now we only have two hundred gold left, what else do we want to buy?"

"Buy some decent weapons first, and then buy some gifts for the young sprouts and bring them back."

"Yes, big brother."

There are many weapons shops in Jicheng, and Li An bought three well-made horizontal knives, six short daggers and three hard bows in a relatively large armory shop, spending a total of forty-five gold.

Then he bought cloth, jewelry, toys, candies and other gadgets with hardware, and prepared to give them to the four people in the family.

In this way, three hundred and fifty gold were spent on the five hundred gold obtained from the sale of furs, and only one hundred and fifty gold remained of the total thirty percent.

However, war horses, weapons and gifts must be bought, although the cost is very large, but it is not a waste, and the remaining one hundred and fifty gold can be regarded as a huge amount of money, in short, this trip is worth it.

Jicheng, as the administrative center of Hebei Province, is very prosperous and lively, and there are many places worth playing, but Li Anxinjiao's relatives in the family, so they are not interested in these, and after buying the items that should be bought, they ran towards the direction of White Wolf Village with Kunxiong and Feiyu.

One mile north of White Wolf Village, a defeated Tang army stopped to rest, this team had nearly 100 people, but they were all exhausted and lying on the snow.

"Ah Hao, the Fan army will be chasing after you soon, this is not a place to stay for a long time." A general with a scar on his cheek, gasping for air.

This person is An Lushan's confidant Sun Xiaozhe, and the officer named Ah Hao on the other side is naturally Tian Qianzhen, the general of the Pinglu Army.

They were ordered by An Lushan to attack the Xi tribe, but they were proud to underestimate the enemy and had not yet sent scouts to investigate the other party's situation. rashly launched an attack, which led to a great defeat.

If it weren't for the two of them running fast, they would have been revenants under the knife a long time ago.

Tian Qianzhen looked at the tired soldiers beside him, shook his head and said, "Xiaozhe, the soldiers can't walk anymore, even I don't have the strength anymore, let's rest for a while!" The Fan army will not chase after it so quickly. ”

"Okay, then take a break." Sun Xiaozhe sat down with his butt and Tian Qianzhen back to back.

"Ah Hao, our army has suffered such a heavy defeat, how to explain to the governor after I go back!"

"Tell the truth."

"Tell the truth?" Sun Xiaozhe was anxious: "Ah Hao, you know the temper of the governor, if it is because of our mistakes, the army is defeated, are you afraid?" ”

Sun Xiaozhe knew that with his own mother blowing the wind on the pillow, An Lushan would never punish himself heavily, but reprimanding was inevitable, and he would be very disappointed in himself.

"Hyo-cheol, what do you want?"

"We must not return in vain." Sun Xiaozhe touched the scar on his cheek, and there was a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Can't you go back in vain?" Tian Qianzhen frowned at first, and then nodded.

The so-called good horse is to be able to travel thousands of miles a day, and it will not feel tired, and the three horses that Ang Lee bought are such good horses.

Starting from Jicheng, day and night, they arrived at the foot of White Wolf Mountain in only three days.

"Big brother, climb over the small hill in front of you, and then cross a bridge to get home."

"Big brother, I have seen the smoke, Aunt Bai must be cooking at this time, and I will eat it when I go back."

Li An grinned, he had traveled day and night all the way, and now he was really hungry, and his relatives at home must be looking forward to going back soon.

"Hurry up, go home for dinner, drive ......"

"Driving ......"

The three rode fast horses and quickly rushed towards the White Wolf Village.

"Big brother, no, it's not cooking smoke, it's smoke, there's a fire in the village."

Climbing over a hill, Fei Yu discovers an anomaly.

Li An raised his eyes and saw that there was smoke billowing out of the village, and there were as many as seven or eight places, which surprised him, and a sense of foreboding flashed in his heart in an instant.

"Something's wrong, something must have happened." didn't have time to think about it, Li An rode his horse and ran towards the White Wolf Village at the fastest speed.

Riding across the small bridge at the head of the village, Li An was in front of a scene of chaos, collapsed houses, scattered furniture, messy footprints, and shocking bloodstains.

"Young sprouts, Aunt Bai, Gouzi, Xiaokui." Li Ang ran towards the ancestral house like crazy.

Outside the gate of the ancestral house, a pool of blood caused Li Anru to be struck by lightning, and he immediately flew off his horse and broke into his home.

"Young sprouts, Aunt Bai, Xiaokui, dog......"

Li An yelled hoarsely, but there was no response, and there was nothing in the courtyard except for the furniture scattered all over the place.

"Where are you?"

Li An leaned on the pillar of the main hall, looking at the sky with empty eyes, and his heart was chaotic.

Kunxiong and Feiyu also searched back and forth in the three courtyards like crazy, but found nothing.

A large amount of food in the house was all missing, none of the small animals in captivity in the west courtyard were gone, a large gap was smashed into the newly built courtyard wall, and valuable things in the house were plundered.

"Who did it, who did it."

Li An roared, pulled out his newly purchased horizontal knife, and slashed at the pillars of the main hall.

Ang Li really couldn't calm down after such a drastic change in his family, and boundless hatred surged in his heart, but he didn't know what was going on in the village at all, he wanted revenge, but he didn't know who the enemy was.

There were bloodstains everywhere in the village, but no body was found, whether all of them were killed, or some of their relatives, whether they were alive or dead, these circumstances, Li An did not know.

"The hatred of destroying the family is not shared with the sky, and we must avenge this hatred." Li Kunxiong's forehead burst into bruises.

"Kill, kill all these beasts." Li Feiyu threw the horsewhip in his hand to the ground.

Li An held the horizontal knife on his waist and shouted: "Kunxiong, Feiyu, the whole village is looking for it from house to house, and we must find out this group of beasts." ”

At this moment, Li An, who was furious, had already made up his mind that as long as the murderer was found, no matter who the other party was or how powerful he was, he would go forward to take revenge without hesitation, even if it was blood splashed for five steps.

Tender Sprout is his closest person, Aunt Bai, Gouzi, and Xiaokui have long been regarded as relatives by Li An, the people in the village are all kind villagers, so many relatives and villagers are unknown in life and death, the village is like ruins, in such a situation, how can Li An's heart not rise with hatred of gnashing teeth.

"Okay, let's go."

Kunxiong and Feiyu roared in response and ran towards the village.

Li An searched carefully around the ancestral house and found nothing, and then ran to the village, looking for clues with Kunxiong and Feiyu.

"Big brother, these are all found in the village." Li Kunxiong was holding a large pile of items in his hands.

These items, including broken scimitars, standard horizontal knives broken in two, scattered armor pieces, and broken arrows, are all items in the army.

Li An judged at a glance that items such as scimitars were weapons of the alien tribes in the north, while items such as horizontal knives were the standard equipment of the Tang army.

The equipment of the Fan army and the Tang army appeared in the ruins of the village at the same time, what is going on? A small white wolf village, has it become a battlefield for the two sides to fight?
