Text Chapter 184 Softening the Offensive
The red morning glow began to appear on the horizon, the boundless grassland was like a gentle blue wave under the breeze, when the first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, the blue waves turned up golden waves, and countless wildflowers bloomed in the sun, as bright as the morning glow on the horizon. Jiang Anyi reined in the horse and reveled in the spectacular beauty.
"You can let go of me", Tizhu in his arms struggled, Jiang Anyi came to his senses, jumped off the horse, and put Tizhu down. After running for at least three hours, both men and horses are tired, and it is time to rest.
Jiang Anyi walked out of the royal court from the south gate last night, and it didn't take long to turn west, the grassland is boundless, although it is night, there is no need to worry about the road under your feet. From time to time, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard beside him, and it should be that the Great Khan of Ush sent someone to follow him.
At dawn, Jiang Anyi looked around from a high place, but did not find a human figure, those who were tracking did not know where to hide, and the sense of danger did not disappear. Inadvertently, Jiang Anyi looked up at the sky and saw an eagle soaring in a circle overhead in the fifty zhang high sky.
Eagle, Jiang Anyi remembered that the people of the Northern Desert would train falcons for hunting, tracking, and reporting military information, and seeing this eagle flying in a circle, it was clear that he was taking himself as the center of the circle, obviously reporting his position to people.
Jiang Anyi ran to the horse and took the bow and arrow from the horse. Ti Zhu's hands and legs were tied, sitting on the edge of the grassy slope at the moment, seeing Jiang Anyi taking a bow and arrow and wanting to shoot an eagle, he sneered: "Only the eagle shooter on the grassland can shoot an eagle, Ao Yu is the king of eagles sent to his father by the people of the ice sea, and you still want to shoot it, you can't help yourself." ”
The sound is delicate and brittle, like the chirping of birds not far away. Jiang Anyi smiled slightly, it seems that Ti Zhu knows Zheng Yu, and he is not shallow in knowledge, so he doesn't know how well he can use it. Jiang Anyi promised Wu Shi to release him in three days, and during these three days, he would find out the general map of the Northern Desert from Tizhu's mouth, and understand the customs and habits of the Mo people, so that he could have the opportunity to disguise himself as a desert person and escape smoothly.
If you want to listen to the news from Ti Zhu's mouth, the hostile relationship will definitely not work, and if you want to improve the relationship, you can't tie up Ti Zhu, and if you don't tie up Ti Zhu, you have to prevent her from escaping.
Jiang Anyi's front legs were bent, his back legs were bent, his body was leaning back, and the bow and arrow in his hand were pointed obliquely at the sky. Ti Zhu said with disdain on her face: "Don't pretend, come and untie the rope for me, I want to be convenient." ”
The wind blew gently through his ears, Jiang Anyi once again felt his spirit drift out, everything around him became so clear, the vigorous majestic posture of the eagle in the air hovered in his mind, and he could even feel the wind whistling through the open wings.
The air currents in the air soothed down, and the eagle spread its wings and glided in the direction of the arrow, apparently not taking the bow and arrow aimed below to its heart, the distance in the eagle's eyes was long enough for it to easily avoid the arrows that came from it, and it could even grasp the arrow with its own claws.
Jiang Anyi calculated the speed of the arrow and the eagle in his heart, finely adjusted the angle of the bow in his hand, and suddenly let go, the arrow flew out like a meteor, the feathers at the end of the arrow emitted a burning smell, and the body of the arrow was filled with scorching true qi.
The arrow, beyond the normal speed, seems a little abrupt, leaving Ao Yu with a shorter time to react, a sharp flap of the wings, Ao Yu deviates from the direction of flight, but it is too late, the arrow is not far from the eagle body. Ao Yu let out a high-pitched chirping and reached out with his claws to grasp the sharp arrow diagonally.
Although the arrow was firmly grasped, the remaining momentum was unabated, and Ao Yu was carried by the arrow and turned over on his side and lost his balance. After flapping his wings again and again, and after regaining his balance, Ao Yu let go of the arrow and let out a terrible chirp, and his claws were scalded by the true qi attached to the arrow.
After a few long chirps in the sky, Ao Yu turned to fly east and disappeared into the sky.
"Oh my God, you actually hurt Ao Yu." Ti Zhu's eyes widened, looking at the few eagle feathers falling from the sky, and said in surprise.
Jiang Anyi put away his bow, a sense of exhaustion welled up in his heart, the arrow just now took a lot of effort, and the result was not satisfactory. Slowly came to Ti Zhu's side, Ti Zhu looked at Zheng Ren in front of him with frightened eyes, it was not ugly, how could it be a demon god who came out of hell.
"Juji, I'll loosen your rope, don't you run around, okay?" Jiang Anyi stretched out his hand to untie the rope and said gently: "You also saw the arrow just now, you can't escape the sharp arrow in my hand within a hundred zhang." ”
The rope was untied, Tizhu moved her hands and legs, and said with a red face: "You turn your back." ”
Jiang Anyi understood, smiled and pointed to the flowers not far away, where red, yellow, and blue flowers bloomed, more than half a person tall. After Ti Zhu solved the problem, he looked at Jiang Anyi through the flowers, and the Zheng man was still a gentleman, and he didn't move with his back on his back.
Ti Zhu quietly moved her steps and slipped away into the distance, and as soon as she moved her legs, Jiang Anyi's voice came from her ears: "Juji, don't run around." ”
Pouting, Tizhu slapped the flowers with her hands, kicked the grass with her legs and reluctantly walked over, sat on the grass with her buttocks, and said, "I'm hungry, what do I have to eat?" ”
Jiang Anyi was also hungry, and untied the bag on horseback, which was bulging with a lot of food, and even had silver pots, silver plates, cups, and other utensils, it seemed that the Great Khan was afraid that his daughter would be wronged. When Jiang Anyi set up the food and was ready to eat, Ti Zhu said dissatisfiedly: "How can you eat without milk tea?" "It seems that this rank is brutal enough, and it is difficult to serve.
There is a river not far away, Jiang Anyi took out the silver kettle, turned out the flint to make a fire, and made tea after the water boiled. Ti Zhu sat on the side and watched Jiang Anyi busy with interest, and suddenly said with a smile: "You Da Zheng's man is really capable, can he even make a fire and make tea?" ”
The morning sun shone on Tizhu's side face, exuding a faint golden light, the pale blue eyes were like gems, and the blue-trimmed tulle skirt spread out on the grass, like a blooming flower. Jiang Anyi was stunned, handed the milk tea in his hand to Tizhu, and said, "I am a child from a poor background, so I will naturally have more." ”
"Oh", Ti Zhu looked very interested, "tell me about your family, tell me about Da Zheng, I have never been to Da Zheng, I heard that it is very beautiful." ”
"It's not early, I'm going to run for my life if I'm too late, I'll tell you on the way if I'm interested." Jiang Anyi took a big bite to eat, and Tizhu saw that Jiang Anyi had no intention of hurting herself, so she pursed her lips and smiled, and then ate as well.
Thirty miles away, a group of men and horses also stopped to rest, led by the eldest prince Kunbo, who stood beside Venerable Fu Ying and watched as he carefully applied badger oil to Ao Yu's claws.
"Father Khan likes Ao Yu the most, if it weren't for the convenience of tracking the girl, he would not let me touch it. I didn't expect that kid to hurt him, but the injury was not serious, otherwise my father would have beaten me. Don't let Ao Yu track you down any more, Venerable, how long do you say it will take for the national teachers of the Sadu Sect to arrive. ”
After Fu Ying applied the medicine for Ao Yu, someone took Ao Yu and put on a blindfold to rest. After cleaning his hands, Venerable Fu Ying said: "Great Prince, Zha Zhao Temple is thousands of miles away, and it will take at least three days to come and go. ”
Kunbo tugged at the beard on his chin and said in annoyance: "Let those scouts stay away from Jiang Anyi, don't let him find out, and wait for the masters of Zha Zhao Temple to come." This kid had better not hurt my sister, or I'll peel off his skin and war drums with my own hands. ”
The sunset smeared a large piece of rouge on the horizon, and Jiang Anyi and Tizhu restrained their horses and prepared to rest. After a day of exchanges, Jiang Anyi and Ti Zhu Juci had already talked and laughed, and when they learned that Jiang Anyi was framed and had no way out, they had to force themselves to flee for their lives, and Ti Zhu said that she forgave Jiang Anyi. The girl is so easy to deceive, Jiang Anyi secretly despises herself, and uses the means of dealing with Dong'er on Tizhu.
The bonfire was lit, and Jiang Anyi could even see the fire in the distance, which should be the tracking Moqi. Jiang Anyi didn't care, his spiritual sense was scattered, and he could detect dozens of feet of wind and grass, and he was not afraid of someone sneaking up at night. And Ti Zhu obviously forgot that she was a hostage, and jumped around like a cheerful deer to help Jiang Anyi carry firewood, treating the captivity as a pleasant play.
On the way, Jiang Anyi showed his hand archery skills again, and a fat hare was the main meal of tonight. Watching Jiang Anyi disemboweling her belly and skinning her skin neatly, Ti Zhu was very envious, as the favorite daughter of the Great Khan, she had always opened her mouth and clothes to stretch out her hand.
Jiang Anyi sprinkled some spices on the rabbit meat, the rabbit meat exuded an attractive fragrance on the bonfire, Ti Zhu couldn't help swallowing her saliva, muttering: "It's so fragrant, how long will it take to eat, I'm so hungry." As he spoke, he rubbed his stomach with his hand.
Jiang Anyi's cute appearance reminded Jiang Anyi of Yan'er, looked at Tizhu and smiled: "After a while, don't worry, you look like Yan'er in a hurry." ”
"Who is Yeon'er? Is that your wife? ”
"It's my sister-in-law, when I was a child, my family was poor, there was nothing to eat at all, Yan'er is a little gluttonous cat, once An Yong and I took her to the wild to burn rabbits, she was also so impatient." Jiang Anyi's mind flashed with the scene of his sister holding taro as braised pork, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Ti Zhu looked at the smiling face in the firelight, full of tenderness, and even the scar on the corner of her eyebrows seemed to look good, and she didn't know what she thought, and her little face became red.
While eating roast rabbit meat, Jiang Anyi talked about some interesting stories from his childhood, and inevitably talked about his younger brother in order to make him study, and Yan'er put on a bamboo ring as a bracelet, which made Tizhu cry sadly. Hearing that Jiang Anyi would weave bamboo ware, the exquisite Pingshan bamboo art was actually created in his hands, and Ti Zhu was amazed.
After eating, Ti Zhu led Jiang Anyi to weave a few small toys with straw and had fun by the bonfire. Jiang Anyi spread out the skin bag and said to Ti Zhu: "You will sleep in the skin bag tonight, there is a fire next to you, it shouldn't be cold." ”
"What about you?"
"I was meditating by the fire."
Although he was tired for a day, he was in the enemy territory, how dare Jiang Anyi sleep with confidence. Meditation is the best way to restore energy and to hear what is going on around you.
Ti Zhu, who got into the skin bag, flickered her eyes and watched Jiang Anyi breathe by the fire, and suddenly said: "Brother Jiang, you are a good person, I will ask my father Khan not to arrest you after I go back, and after you return to Zheng Guo, remember to bring Yan'er to see me." ”
Jiang Anyi didn't open his eyes, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that his softening offensive had worked.
