Coming out of the small oasis, Xin Er looked back again and again.

In the afternoon, the sun is warm, and the herdsmen drive the herds, the captives, and the carts, rejoicing.

Some shepherds chased after the sun, and you called me, and raised the yellow sand on the desert, and sang. Xin Er listened attentively, sang generously, translated the lyrics into Tang dialect, and sang: "The athlete must be fast, and the horse must be the athlete." It will be under the yellow dust, and then don't be male and female. There were also those who fell behind, accompanying the carts carrying the bodies of the dead, rolling leaves and blowing music, desolate and melodious, and then singing with sorrow: "Poor man, go out with the sorrow of death." In the narrow valley of corpses, no one collects the bones. "Those who sing this song should be relatives and friends of those who have fallen in battle.

These two are the folk songs of the Hu people, whether they are sad or majestic, they are simple and deep, which is different from the poetry of the Tang people.

Xin Er believed in the reins, listened for a long time, and said in his heart: "Boys are born in troubled times, only so." ”

Life should be a male and female, and death should be heroic.

He no longer looked back, no longer thought of the wounded and the old and weak who had been abandoned by them on the continent, but whipped his horse, learned the tune of the shepherd, and sang in Hu language: "The warrior must be fast, and the horse must be fast." It will be under the yellow dust, and then don't be male and female. From the horsemen and the small leaders galloped left and right, and began to sing, the other shepherds chased their horses, and they all sang with him: "You must go down to the yellow dust, and then don't be male or female." ”

The singing converged, covering the wind, covering the cold, echoing in the desert plain of deep winter, rushing into the sky.

A few days later, they returned to the Zebian Oasis, and their harvest was greater than that of Ballian Jueqian, and the sensation was even greater.

The small rates of the various ministries and the herdsmen were beaming, saying goodbye to Xiner, and each of them was still falling.

Xin Er begged to see Linghu Feng and presented a page of paper, on which a number of cattle, horses, alpacas, men and women, and various kinds of goods were written, all of which he took out from his share and dedicated them to Ling Hufeng. Ling Hu Feng is very satisfied, what he cares about is not things, but Xin Er's loyal attitude.

Seeing the dismissal order, Xin Er divided the rest of the harvest into categories, and divided the captives and livestock into two parts, keeping one for himself and one for the riders; The goods are divided into three parts, one for oneself, one for the rider, and one for the rider; chose good-looking jewelry and the like, gave it to Liu Le, and gave two pieces to Ah Chou.

When giving eight prisoners, herds, and goods to the horsemen, Xin Er specially chose them in the open field.

There were a lot of herdsmen watching, and seeing that Xin Er actually took out so much loot and distributed it to his subordinates, the degree of generosity was incomparable to the size of the various departments.

Eight from the horse know that there is no feats in this battle, the reason why the middle can be the first to break through, the first credit is that the five armored horses are invincible, the second credit is in Xin Er's first pawn, the third credit is Lan Bao's palm chopping melee fight, it is really fierce, they are only protective, never expected that Xin Er would give them such a rich reward, grateful to the point of incomprehensible, deeply felt that he met the generous love of the master, all bowed down to thanks, and said: "The adults are so loving, the villains and other liver and brains are ruined, and they can't reciprocate!" ”

Xin Er helped them up, smiled in front of the onlookers, and said, "These are nothing. If you follow me, the days to come will only get better and better. Then he commanded them in public, that the bereavement that had been promised to the families of the fallen should be sent immediately.

From the riders promised.

After a circle, there are still more than 300 livestock, and there are still seven or eight captives, Xin Er made Liu Zhuang know the captives, and then they will be led by Liu Zhuang together with the three Hu Nu, and shepherd all the sheep and horses and other animals that Linghu Feng gave him before and this time.

Fu Qiao followed him to the left, and after watching the process of his distribution of captures, he praised and said: "Young books, light wealth and wealth, chivalrous style." ”

Xin Er smiled: "Really? Xin Dao, "A good man with light money can be said to be a light chivalrous style, but I don't want to be a chivalrous man." Noticing Fu Qiao's eyes glancing at the captives from time to time, he thought, "Ling Hu Feng picked his nose and eyes at the old man, and he didn't even give him a miscellaneous servant." That little green is thin and thin, and he can't do any work. Carrying water and firewood, cooking and eating, all of them had to be done by the old man himself, which was really pitiful. Then he said, "I don't need so many slaves here, and the doctor sees that they are useful, so please pick them." ”

Hearing that Xin Er came back, Fu Qiao hurriedly ran over, in addition to caring about Xin Er, another reason was that Xiao Lu asked him to ask for two slaves to use. He really can't stand the hardships of doing rough work all day long, he should have been used for writing and painting, waving a pair of jade hands on Xuan, but now it is cracked and swollen and frozen, he himself looks distressed, and he is still thinking about how to speak, listening to Xin Er take the initiative to mention it, but the literati are reserved, pretending, and excuse themselves and say: "It's useless, okay?" ”

Xin Er said: "Yes." The doctor is upright, and only a beauty like Xiao Lu, who can play can get into the doctor's eyes. The Hu people shave a bald scoop and have a rat-tail pigtail, which is ugly and vulgar, and it must be undesirable for the doctor. As he spoke, he asked Liu Zhuang to take the captives away, looked at Fu Qiao, and saw that his eyes were moving with the captives, dazed, and laughed, "Doctor, are you 'okay' now?" ”

Fu Qiaodun knew that Xin Er was teasing him, and he was not angry, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you Agua, teasing the elderly, it's disrespectful!" ”

The nickname is not something that anyone can shout, Ling Hu Feng is the lord, Ling Hu Le is the little lord, his father and son are the venerable, and they are willing to call "melon, melon", Xin Er can only follow them; Fu Qiao is a colleague, he has always been polite, and he has been a gua since he was a child, but the friendship between the two has changed from shallow to deep.

The chores are done, and the night has come.

Xin Er was called to the big tent by Linghu Feng, and was served by the bull's eye daughter of the red slave, and Cao Fei accompanied him to eat and drink, and dispersed in the middle of the night.

Cao Fei's amount of alcohol did not match his martial arts, and he drank well but the amount was shallow.

He was already drunk, staggered, and said dizzily, "You have captured a great deal in this robbery, and you have given it to the Lord a lot!" ”

Xin Er drank a fair amount of alcohol, did not get drunk, and replied: "So-so." ”

"Give the old man a Hu slave?"

Xin Er heard the string song, knew the elegant meaning, and said happily: "Tomorrow, I will ask someone to choose the strong ones and send two to the captain." ”

"It doesn't have to be. The slaves and maidservants that the Lord has given me are enough. …… I don't know how to raise sheep and horses. ”

Xin Er said in his heart: "Slaves, maids, sheep and horses are not wanted, that is, they only want money." said, "I was chased and robbed by He cadres before, thanks to the captain, I and the old man had to escape, we were in Huzhong, with a breeze on our sleeves, and we have not been able to thank the captain; This time, in addition to sheep, horses and livestock, I also got some gold and silver treasures, and I prepared it for the school captain, and tomorrow morning I asked Ah Chou to send it, and asked the school captain to laugh. ”

Cao Fei is not like Fu Qiao, he has nothing to handle, he doesn't have to wait until tomorrow, although he can't see the real thing at the moment, he smiled without delay, and said happily: "Okay, good." He put Hu Nu's support, hooked Xin Er's arm, expressed affection, and said drunkly, "I tell you, the four of us who came out with the Lord, only you, speculate with me; When the Lord ascends to the throne in the future, only you and I can be reused by the Lord. The two of us, let's get closer. With an accent, he said, "How close! ”

"Yes. I also feel like I'm in tune with the captain. ”

"Right? You think so, right? We are both bold and bold! The old man, sour and sour, makes a gesture at every turn, I don't want to see him anyway; Ziming,...... You have to be careful of Ziming, he said bad things about you to the Lord the day before yesterday, I heard it. ”

"Speak ill of me?"

"I happened to see the Lord about something, and I heard it. This guy has a grudge against you! Isn't that little fart,, what's the point? Also hold grudges. Bah! Watch your eyes. Lao Tzu is a little ugly, if it weren't for the fact that the red slave couldn't look down on me, would he be useful? That's what Lao Tzu did! No, don't you just smack a few times? He collided with his fists and said, "I have the comfort and comfort of good wine and meat, and the favor of the Lord, what a good thing, I can't ask for it!" ”

"Yes, yes, the captain is brave and dedicated, we all know this. What did he say bad about me? ”

Cao Fei pouted, talked about Guo Baiju who made them suffer a big loss, and said: "Guo Baiju, this dog, quietly, hooking and colluding with those bastards, it is dangerous for us to whine and mourn; Now I am so pampered by Linghu Yong that I can't take our heads for glory and wealth! Damn, when the Lord returns to the capital, Lao Tzu will definitely chop him into pulp one by one! ”

He waved his hand and slashed downward, stumbling under his feet and nearly falling.

Xin Er grabbed him tightly and said, "Yes, chop it into meat puree." …… You Dao Ziming said bad things about me to the Lord, I don't know what he said? ”

"Hey, what can you say! It's nothing more than nonsense, saying that you're ,...... Say what to you? Cao Fei patted his head and said, "Yes, it is said that you raise your subordinates and run to Hu all day long, so as to win the hearts of the Hu herdsmen, and say that you are very attentive to the subordinates of the superintendent." What else do you say? That's about it. The hearts of the people, the hearts of the people, hehe, is Lao Tzu composing poetry? ”

Xin Er listened attentively, and subconsciously wanted to distinguish for himself, but there were only Cao Fei and the two tail slaves around him.

He said in his heart: "It's useless for me to explain to Lao Cao. This, this, alas. Ziming, I'm sorry for your brother, but I ran into the Hu Department twice in three days, not afraid of the wind and cold, worked hard, messed with the herdsmen, made myself dirty and dirty, and took a bath twice a day! Isn't it for our big guys? In order to ensure that Linghu Feng can win? I'm also thinking about it for all of us. You, alas, man, you framed me like this,......。 "It's because I can't live with Jia Zhen in front, even if I am dissatisfied, I don't have the confidence to blame him.

Cao Fei said: "You, don't take it seriously. What can you do if you are a beard, a few beards, a herdsman who drives horses and herds sheep, and does not say that the Lord knows your loyalty, and then you can harvest their hearts? He shook his head and said, "Is there anything else you can do with them?" …… The Lord knows that he has a small belly and a grudge against you, and will not take care of him. ”

Xin Er said: "The Lord is wise, that is nature. ”

That's exactly what he thought, so after listening to Jia Zhen's slander, although he was uneasy, he was not very worried.

He thought, "That's right, isn't what Lao Cao said? What can these herdsmen do, even if all their hearts and minds are mine, can I still rebel? Linghu Feng didn't pay attention to them either, and when he returned to the royal capital, he still relied on the old department and his uncle's soldiers and horses. Then he thought, "Linghu Feng is suspicious, so as not to arouse his suspicion, I will even be polite to the infantry soldiers he gave me, and will not give favors." He probably won't listen to Ziming's slander. "Thinking of this, I feel a little relieved.

Cao Fei's tent was not very far from Xin Er, Xin Er sent him back first, settled down on the couch and lay down, and when he was about to leave, he heard him say again: "Say that you are kind to the monk, and you are not willing to be subordinate." ”
