In the southeast of Feiqian, Ma Chao, who was making a detour, with about 800 soldiers, was acting on the bank of the Western Han River and marching cautiously forward. On one side is the surging down of the Western Han River, and on the other side is the mountain range that is neither high nor too short, it is not easy to walk, but it is certainly much better than the Qinling Mountains.

Ma Chao is actually a little worried, mainly because of the people.

Whether the Di people have cooperated with Zheng Xi Feiqian, or to what extent, this is a matter that needs special attention for Ma Chao, and it is impossible to bring a lot of soldiers and horses by himself.

Another reason is that the Di people are good at mountain warfare, and if they encounter it in such a place where it is inconvenient to move......

Ma Chao led the horse and looked at the fog shrouded in the surroundings, maybe it was because the rain and fog soaked the armor and was a little cold, or some other reason, anyway, it made Ma Chao feel a little chilly.

"Send some more sentry to the front, and keep an eye out for the reeds on the hill and the shore!" Ma Chao sent scouts again to carefully inspect suspicious locations to avoid ambushes in this terrain.

The rain gradually became lighter, but the weather did not improve immediately, as if there were still some sobs after crying, and the weather was gloomy as if it was accumulating strength to start the clouds and rain again. Wearing a soaked battle robe and a heavy battle armor, walking beside the Western Han River is still a thing that has nothing to do with pleasure.

Not only Ma Chao, but almost all the accompanying soldiers were either wet or sweaty, and their clothes and hair were all stuck to their bodies, which was very uncomfortable.

That's not all, because it is a march on the riverside, although the loose riverbank will not let the soldiers fall into it like a swamp, but every time you step down, the yellow mud full of water always falls gently, making a gurgling sound, not to mention the combat boots, even straw shoes can not be worn, can only walk barefoot, deep and shallow.

A scout ran over and trampled on the yellow mud: "General, there are some people in front!" ”

Di people?

Ma Chao was startled, and before he could think too much, the other scout who climbed up the side of the mountain to detect also panted and waved his arms and ran over from the side of the mountain. Ma Chao's face sank like water, and when the second scout ran closer, he asked directly, "Could it be that you also saw the Di people?"

The second scout was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

Ma Chao immediately frowned and stopped. The guards behind him hurriedly signaled, and the whole army suddenly stopped, and there was no urgent need to move forward.

Ma Chao pointed to the yellow mud ground and said to the two scouts: "Where are the Di people, draw them and take a look." ”

The two scouts hurriedly picked up a small branch on the ground and drew a rough diagram.

Although the graphics drawn by the scouts are not beautiful or standard, they are enough for Ma Chao.

Can't get around.

Since there is no way around, there is only one way left.

………………………………

At the junction of the Qingni River and the Western Han River, the ditches and mountains connect the fields not far away. As part of the loess slope, it is impossible to say how dense the trees and vegetation are, but it is not bare and nothing, and occasionally you can see one or two streams flowing down the hillside and into the river.

Not long after noon, although the rain had largely stopped, the layers of clouds still hung in the sky, like layers of curtains, which made people feel depressed.

The surroundings seemed quiet, on the grassy slope there were two or three lean sheep grazing unhurriedly, not far away there was a field of crops reclaimed on the hillside, on the side of the crops, there was a small house made of loess and tree trunks roughly, a man in tattered clothes was squatting by the stream to fetch water, from his Baotou habits, it seemed to be a Di man.

Originally, the Di people did not farm, but since the Qin Dynasty, the Di people who were originally in a nomadic state fixed the bureau, and gradually learned from the Chinese Han people to start farming, of course, the degree of fineness of cultivation is still a lot worse.

The mountainous terrain is barren, and there is only one family living in the vicinity.

The man has no name, only a title. This place is called Huangnigou in some people's mouth, but in fact, in the whole Xiliang, there are not ten places called Huangnigou, I am afraid there are eight.

Suddenly, some voices broke the quiet atmosphere.

The man fetching the water glanced to the north, and the sound came from that side, but there was nothing to see from the grassy slope. Then, faintly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

The man stood up, carrying a worn-out barrel, looking at the grassy slope not far away.

Suddenly, two black felt hats emerged from the top of the grassy slope, followed by two tattered leather robes......

At this glance, you can see that it is the dress of the Qiang people.

The man was stunned.

The two Qiang cavalrymen also grabbed their horses and squinted at the Di man.

For a moment, it was as if time and space had frozen.

The Qiang man's fingers moved, and then he felt for the war knife at his waist......

The enemy man yelled and ran towards the cabin, out of which a dirty child was babbling......

Several more Qiang cavalry emerged from the grassy slope, some of them following the previous two after the man, while others seemed to be more interested in the lean sheep.

The speed at which the Qiang cavalry rushed faster and faster, and the Di men were already running hard, but compared with the four-legged war horses, they were still slower.

"Whoosh!"

The Diren man seemed to have stepped on a small pit in the ground and stumbled, but dodged an arrow fired by a Qiang cavalryman.

The arrow passed over the man's body and staggered to the ground.

Then one of the Qiang cavalrymen didn't know what to say, and immediately burst into laughter.

The Qiang cavalry who had drawn their bows earlier muttered something, and then rode their horses and accelerated towards the Di man, turning a little and swinging his sword!

Sensing that the war horse was rushing to the entrance, the man cried and jumped hard, his body rolled on the grass with a few thumps, and let out a miserable scream......

The back of the man had been slashed, but it was not a fatal wound, and the blood stained the grass and yellow mud, adding a hint of ominous color to this side of the world.

The ignorant child at the door of the room also seemed to notice something, grinned, and cried loudly.

The man struggled and didn't get up when he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from around him......

This time he couldn't dodge.

The sharp knife cut through the skin of his neck, cutting through the thin layer of subcutaneous fat that he barely existed, and then the muscles and tendons also cracked and snapped under the blade, and then the blade stuttered slightly on the bones of the cervical vertebrae, and with the increase in the force of the impact cutting, the blade slid into the gap in the cervical vertebrae......

"Hoo ......"

The head of the man flew into the air, and in his last flipping sight, he saw the heads of his lean sheep also fall to the ground; He saw some Qiang people jumping off their horses in front of the door and rushing in; He saw a Qiang man stretching out a bloody palm towards his own child, who was sitting on the ground wailing and crying......

The man wanted to shout, scream, to stop everything in front of him, but he didn't make a sound, and he was greeted only by an endless darkness......

………………………………

Argument.

Among the people of the cottage.

Wang Yi jumped to his feet in a rage, he had already overturned the table, kicked down the shelves on the side, and even smashed a jar and three crockpots. However, when the surroundings were in shambles, Wang Yi did not vent his anger on the throne behind him.

"Who did it? That guy did it!? The King of Diren roared, foaming at the mouth.

"......," the five clan elders were silent.

"Speak quickly!" Wang Yi stood in front of the Inner Five Clan Elder and sprayed his saliva on the top of his head.

"Our sons have found a lot of horseshoe marks, as well as some Qiang bone arrows...... "The Elder of the Five Clans in the Di people said with his head bowed.

"Qiang?" The Diren Wang Yi roared, "That tribe's hand? ”

"......" The Elder of the Five Clans was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know ...... for the time being."

Wang Yi once again sprayed saliva on the head of the Inner Five Clans, "I don't know?!" I don't know if I won't find out for this king! Are we easy to bully?! He will pay for it with blood! ”

………………………………

Li shop.

There is a mountain, shaped like a horse's ridge.

Therefore, it is called Maji Mountain, there is a beam on the mountain, and there is a cottage on the beam.

No one knows when this cottage was built or who the builder was, but one thing is for sure, this cottage is very old, so old that the ironwood used as the door of the cottage has some decay.

Therefore, the people in the cottage need to come out from time to time to repair the wall and gate.

Especially after the rain, some rain-soaked places are easy to decay and need to be repaired in time, and if they are not treated, they will easily become the next source of collapse.

"Awn! Tsukiko! A young man crouched on the wall of the wall and was repairing shouted down.

"You melon baby, you don't even take the seeds, what else are you going to repair!" There was a shout below, and then a stone was thrown on with a "buzz".

The young man stretched out one hand, grabbed the handle, and then slowly drew an arc in the air, counteracting the momentum of the gun, just as he was about to knock the plank, suddenly seemed to notice something, turned his head to look, and a group of cavalry appeared on the dirt slope in the distance, coming towards the cottage.

"Awn! Awn! Someone's coming! ”

After a while, the cavalry queue reached the bottom of the cottage, and Gan Feng raised his head and shouted: "A certain person has come to visit the descendants of the Mengshi clan on the order of Lao Qin!" ”

Everyone in the world knows that Mengshi, from Mengshan, the clan is stable, and Qin has built an eternal career, but few people know that since the pillars of Qin, Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers have been loyal to the Qin State, most of their clansmen have been implicated, even if they have been treated like this, the loyalty of the Meng clan to the first emperor is still not reduced by half, some people or cast in Nanyue, or hidden in the mountains, and never come out, and some people adhere to the faith, still guarding the Qin Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum, quietly serving on its right.

For the imperial mausoleum of the Qin Dynasty, most people only know that it is in Lishan in Chang'an, but for the old Qin people, there is also an imperial mausoleum, which is the mausoleum of King Qinzhuang......

This short-lived King of Qin is controversial, but at least he is the father of the First Emperor, so in addition to building his own mausoleum in Lishan, the First Emperor also specially repaired the mausoleum of King Qinzhuang, and the mausoleum of King Qinzhuang is convenient here.

Three or four hundred years have passed, the original majestic Great Wall has also been broken, the clear river has begun to muddy, the caravans on the ancient silk road have come and gone, and the smoke and dust of history have slowly obscured the memory of this period.

"Old Qin Ling? Montessori? In the cottage, above the hall, an old man sat in the middle, staring at Gan Feng tremblingly.

"Yes." Gan Feng nodded and said.

The old man rolled his cloudy eyes and was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm sorry...... There are no Montessori people here, and the old people don't know what the old Qin Ling is...... Come, send off ......"

Gan Feng nodded and said, "It's okay, so-and-so just came to pass the word, and he left after speaking." ”

The old man stared at Gan Feng, pondered for a moment and then said, "Please speak." ”

Gan Feng stretched out two fingers, then bent one down, and said, "If you can't do it, you will also spend a lot of money to supplement it." Lao Qin is not a family of people, but an ancient family, I don't know if the old man thinks so? ”

"......," the old man was silent.

The orthodox old Qin people are known as Ying Qin, and the ancestor of the Ying family, everyone is more recognized, is the son of Gao Tao in the ancient Yu period. Boyi, also known as Da Fei, was promoted by Dayu to be the leader of the Dongyi tribal alliance located in the Rizhao region of Shandong Province because of his meritorious service in water control, and was given the surname Ying, which is how the old Qin people came.

And the sentence "If you can't do it, you will also spend a lot of money to supplement" This sentence is Dayu said to Boyi, saying that I did not complete the water control alone, and Boyi accounted for at least half of the credit. It can be seen that Dayu appreciates Boyide, and because of this appreciation, Dayu wanted to give the throne to Boyi in his later years.

However, it is a pity that his son Ji Qi did not do it, so he took advantage of Dayu's serious illness to seize his throne, destroyed the fine tradition of the Zen concession system, and became the co-owner of the world, which has since opened the family world that has lasted for thousands of years in China.

Ji Qi became the first person to dare to eat crabs because of his selfish challenge to the tradition, so is Boyi willing to fail like this?

Of course not, not long after Ji Qi succeeded to the throne, Bo Yi, who was unwilling to fail, openly challenged Ji Qi, but unfortunately, Ji Qi was already full of wings at that time, and the power was too strong, so the war did not last long, Bo Yi was finally defeated, and these old Qin people were sent to Yidi, which is today's Xiliang.

Gan Feng's words are nothing more than to elevate the Montessori from this small limitation of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty and elevate it to the level of the entire ancient Qin people, so the goal of all the old Qin people is not only one city and one place, but finally return to the original hometown, back to the ancient period of Dayu's feudal land.

The old man pinched his crutches, lowered his head, and the wrinkles on his face were layered on top of each other, as if the depths of each wrinkle were carved with wind and frost. "What else?"

Gan Feng smiled, bent his second finger, and said: "I don't dare to look forward to life, why bother to go east after death, I don't dare to be famous in life, why bother to reinstate after death?" Don't dare, what's the meaning of this village? Decay with the grass and trees! ”

"Words, so-and-so has been brought to ...... Leave! Gan Feng didn't look at the old man with some surprise, some anger, and even some helpless looks, arched his hand at the old man, and then turned around and left.

When you are alive, you don't dare to look east, what is the point of being buried in the soil and going east when you are dead?

What is the point of not daring to activate Montessori when you are alive, and then recovering after you die?

The old man watched Gan Feng walk step by step outside the hall, walked to the place where the sun shone, and finally stretched out an arm, "...... Please stay ......."
