Chapter 215: Martyrdom (3)
Weng Lian Luqi arranged the military operation, told the apprentice Weng Lian Gulu, and said that he would arrive later and let him lead the team with Li Jiqian and Wei Baimao.
It seems that there is only one purpose for Weng Lian Luqi to personally participate in the fight caused by the internal strife of the horse herder, - to choose a good horse.
This is a bit unreasonable, isn't Weng Lianlu's mount a camel? Camels are no slower than horses, so why pick a good horse?
Please note that Weng Lian Luqi wanted to get a good horse, not an ordinary horse.
The red rabbit horse that Lu Bu rode and the Lu horse that saved Liu Bei's life were his first choice; There are a lot of horses at the Aoishikawa Racecourse, and it is not impossible to choose a good mount from them.
Of course, Weng Lianlu's camel mount is also very good, and Weng Lianluqi tamed it that day as if it were a treasure; He named it "Shendian".
Shendian! Shendian! You can guess how fast it is when you hear the name, but it's just a leaf.
The usual speed of the camel is only four or five kilometers per hour, but in December, the speed at which the male camel chases the female camel or chases the horse rider during the estrus season is far more than the usual speed, reaching 70-80 kilometers per hour; Ordinary horses simply can't catch up with it.
Weng Lian Luqi found the running speed of the male camel when he was in heat and captured it for riding.
But after the estrus period, the "divine lightning" did not appear as fast as lightning, and Weng Lian Luqi wanted to get a good horse to replace it.
Weng Lian Luqi is a demon monk, and he is very particular about the selection of mounts; Whether he still insisted on using "Shendian" or replacing it with a horse, he had repeatedly compared.
The speed of the horse is about 20 kilometers per hour, and the fastest can reach 60 kilometers; After driving for 5-6 hours, you have to rest, or you will die of exhaustion.
As herbivores, horses need a lot of energy to run; So to a large extent, the distance traveled by the horse is limited.
Horses are social by nature and form a population of a stallion, several mares, and their offspring.
Each population has a well-defined range of activity and migrates at a rate of 5-10 km per day.
Wild horses feed on the desert sage, saxon, reeds, red willows, etc., and in winter they can cut through the snow to forage for dead grass.
Individuals in the group often clean each other's skin after eating, gently licking each other's armor, shoulders, dorsal sides, buttocks, etc.
Sometimes self-care is also carried out, such as rolling, self-brushing, and repelling mosquitoes and flies; Wild horses communicate with the help of sounds, smells, and behaviors such as pursing their ears, plowing the ground, and gnawing.
Camels are docile, often alone, quite hungry and thirsty, and can go without water for several days after drinking enough water; It can still be active in hot, arid desert areas.
Because the camel's nose has many extremely thin and tortuous pipes, the pipes are usually moistened with liquid; When there is a lack of water in the body, the tube immediately stops secreting fluid, and a crust is formed on the surface of the tube to absorb the exhaled water without losing it from the body.
When the camel inhales, the water in the crust can be sent back to the body; In this way, water is repeatedly circulated in the body and is used, so it can withstand thirst.
Camels eat rough grass and shrubs, and their body temperature is 34 degrees Celsius at night; During the day up to 41 degrees Celsius, only above this body temperature the camel begins to sweat.
The problem is that camels are susceptible to disease, which is what Weng Lianluqi is most worried about; Therefore, changing the mount and feeding the horse was put on his agenda.
After Weng Lian Gulu, Li Jiqian, and Wei Baimao led the team to set off, Weng Lian Luqi smashed the braincase of a living person, dug out the brain, and fed seven toads.
The seven toads returned to the Zen staff after eating and drinking, and then Weng Lianlu rode out of the dog lying on the Huangliang River and rushed to the horse farm.
Halfway through, I met Li Jiqian, who was pulling flowers down, and Weng Lianlu asked what was going on.
Li Jiqian this time can be said to have lost his wife and lost his troops, originally planned to recruit troops and horses in the Songpan area to expand a team of more than 100,000 people, and also signed an agreement with Wei Baimao to purchase 1,000 war horses, and the deposit was also taught.
But how could Li Jiqian think of the battle in the red pine forest of the White Crane Grassland, and half of the 100 dead soldiers he brought died; He himself was surrounded by Yu Zhong, Ma Xiao, Zhang Fang, and several Song generals, and almost lost his life.
Thirty-six plans to go, Li Jiqian took the remaining dozens of dead soldiers and planned to return to Pingxia City; I didn't expect to meet Weng Lian Luqi halfway.
Li Jiqian didn't give Weng Lian any reason; He just said "We'll have a meeting later, so we'll say goodbye" and then left in a hurry.
Weng Lianluqi was very confused when she saw Li Jiqian's appearance, and she was not easy to ask; had to ride the divine lightning to Biandangou alone, but found that Weng Lian Gulu had brought two beautiful women; Eight hands immediately stretched out in the heart.
Liu Min fixed his eyes to see Weng Lianluqi and saw that this guy was at least two meters tall; I'm afraid it's a little more than two meters.
Such a tall sinister was dressed in a yellow monk's robe, his brain was in a disordered bun, his nose was high, his eyes were brown, his face was brown, his eyes were like swords, and his voice was like a bear.
Liu Min looked at Weng Lianlu's image, and hurriedly said to the Hongyun girl on the side: "Sister Hong, this guy knows that it is a demon at a glance; We must be vigilant! ”
Hongyun heard Liu Min say this, and said in response: "The slave maid wrote down the words of the general's sister, but Hongyun doesn't have a weapon in his hand!" ”
Liu Min's heart sank, and he saw Weng Lianlu laughing loudly and pressing over step by step; He took out a pinch of the plum blossom silver needle on his wrist and handed it to Hongyun Dao: "Doesn't Sister Hong have flying needle skills?" Toshiko has also given you a few rough instructions before, take these silver needles as temporary weapons! ”
Hongyun took a pinch of more than a dozen silver needles from Liu Min's hand and pinched them in his hand, Liu Min saw that Weng Lianluqi was getting closer and closer to her and Hongyun, so he "swished" and threw out three of them.
However, the three silver needles thrown out by Liu Min were all in Weng Lianlu's hand, and Weng Lian, who was standing on the side, saw Weng Lianluqi catching the flying needles thrown by Liu Min; He laughed out loud with empathy, and said, "The apprentice of the master's technique of fishing for needles in the sea has used it before, and it is the flying needle thrown out by this demon girl that has been scooped up twice by the apprentice; But there was an omission, and the demon girl's flying needle stabbed to death the deputy ...... of Wei Prison"
Weng Lian grunted and said nothing, and her left eye suddenly "rubbed" a pain; But it was Hongyun who threw a silver needle over and pierced the guy's eye socket.
Weng Lian Gollum's left eye was bleeding straight down, and the angry Weng Lian Gollum couldn't help but jump up in pain; Wielding two Turkic scimitars to take Hongyun's life, he was already blocked by Liu Min with the Chengying Sword.
Weng Lianlu saw that Liu Min was skilled in swordsmanship and light in body; After a few rounds, Weng Lian was out of breath after grunting, so she took out the eagle claw silk from her waist and threw it at Liu Min.
The eagle's claw is a pair of rope sleeves that hold people, and there are five heads on the top that resemble eagle claws; After being thrown out, it will tightly wrap around people's hands and feet.
The eagle claw that Weng Lian threw out fell from Liu Min's head to his waist, and Liu Min struggled hard; But as soon as Weng Lianluqi tightened the pull rope in his hand, Liu Min was trapped and couldn't move.
Liu Min didn't expect that he would easily get into the demon monk's rope sleeve, and he didn't panic, but used the cells of his brain to think about how to get out of the rope sleeve.
Weng Lian Luqi used an eagle claw to lasso Liu Min, and said to Weng Lian Guru: "The apprentice brought two fairy-like beautiful girls for the teacher, and the master has to thank you!" ”
Weng Lian Luqi said and pointed her finger at the Hongyun girl who was stunned and said, "This girl's master rewards you, don't hold a grudge against her for throwing you a flying needle; Just make a mattress! ”
Seeing Weng Lian Luqi say this, Weng Lian Guru hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed like a chicken pecking rice: "Apprentice is grateful for the master's kindness!" ”
Weng Lian grunted and suddenly remembered something, and took a few steps closer to Weng Lian Luqi and said, "Master, this woman's name is Hongyun!" ”
Weng Lian grunted and pointed to Hongyun and said, "Hongyun called that woman the general's sister; The general's sister has a good horse, ah! ”
Weng Lian grunted, her eyes glancing around; I found the lion who was bowing his head and gnawing grass, and pointed and said, "Master, you see, the horse that bows down and gnaws grass is the general's sister's horse; It's a lion horse! ”
Stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The lion skull war horse is a good horse, and Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, got a lion skull; Just now, the apprentice's yellow horse is the lion horse that can't outrun the general's sister, you must know that the apprentice's yellow horse is the winner selected among thousands of horses! ”
Weng Lian said this, looked at Liu Min and said, "Hey, sister general, what's your name?" ”
When things came to this point, Liu Min didn't have anything to hide, and sneered: "Miss Ben's surname is Liu Mingmin, you two demon monks; How about Miss Ben! ”
Weng Lian Luqi laughed loudly: "Our master and apprentice don't want to do anything to Miss Liu Min, we just want you to accompany you at night to relieve your boredom or something!" ”
After Weng Lian Luqi said this, he handed the eagle claw silk with Liu Min to Weng Lian and said, "Put Miss Liu Min on the back of the camel Shendian, and go over to see the lion and BMW for the teacher!" ”
The lion skull was originally Lu Chengyu's mount, and Lu Chengyu had a crush on Miss Minzi and gave it to her; didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the demon monk Weng Lianluqi.
Weng Lian Luqi walked up to the lion skull, but the lion skull didn't have a temperament, and stood quietly staring at him.
When Weng Lianlu saw that the lion was good, he rode up; From afar, he shouted to Weng Lian Gollum: "Gollum, you use a camel to carry two beauties in front of you...... first."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Weng Lian grunt and ask, "Master, did the apprentice send the beautiful woman to the dog lying in Huangliangchuan or the toad cave?" ”
"Directly to the Hamtoad Cave!" Weng Lian Luqi rode on the back of the lion and shouted, and beat the horse away; This guy wants to test the power and temperament of the lion's skull.
Weng Lianlu beat the horse and left, and Liu Min suddenly had the idea of escaping.
Weng Lian seemed to see her thoughts, and sneered: "Liu Min, you don't want Zhu Bajie to play the three strings!" Tell you, whoever is caught by our master with an eagle's claw; None of them want to escape! ”
Weng Lian grunted, cleared her throat and raised her voice: "Liu Min, as long as you obediently serve my master, my master will spare your life; Otherwise, the Seven Clam Zen Staff in his old man's hand will burn you to ashes! ”。
Weng Lian grunted as she tied Liu Min and Hongyun tightly on the back of a camel; He rode on the yellow horse and walked towards the Toad Cave.
Liu Min and Hongyun are trapped on the back of a camel, and the two can speak quietly; But there is little hope of escaping by breaking free from the ropes......
