Fifty Qin horsemen quickly mounted their horses and galloped back to the fort like the wind.

In less than half an hour, they galloped thirty miles and returned to the fort.

"Lao Xu, two torches of blue smoke, what's going on?"

Far away, still far outside the fort gate, Team Xiao was shouting loudly.

Seeing the patrol cavalry returning so quickly, Xu Feng immediately asked people to lower the drawbridge.

He trotted to the outside of the fort, "Team Xiao, I met the merchant group that came back with you last night, and set off this morning, just after the big stone station, and encountered a horse thief near the south bank of the Bahuan River." The caravan sent two people to the big stone post to report for help. Over there, Lao Zhang sent Zhao San over to deliver the message, and as soon as I received the letter, I immediately sent smoke to you. ”

"Horse thief? Where did the horse thieves come from, and how many people? ”

"About three hundred thieves, Turks. But it's not necessarily accurate, because when the two of them ran back to report the news, they hadn't seen the horse thief yet. ”

"What letter did you report?"

"One of the two who came back was the guard of the caravan, and he said that the leader of their team heard the shaking of the ground, and judged that there were no less than three hundred horses, and that it was a Turk, and that the other party must be a horse thief, not a caravan or any other passerby."

Team Xiao frowned, of course he believed that people with this kind of ability to hear and recognize sounds, some excellent scouts had this ability, and even some great generals could judge how many troops and how many horses and so on just by the smoke and dust raised.

But these came from the mouth of a caravan guard, which made people a little suspicious.

"Forget it, it's better to believe what you have than what you don't have. Yesterday I met that caravan, it was also a fate, they were not bad, and they gave us two sheep, we ate their sheep, and we have to repay them. I'll take my brothers on a run, it's not too far anyway, and it's only an hour or two from me. ”

"Team Xiao takes the brothers into the fort first to drink some water, and it is best to change the horse."

Team Xiao was looking at his brother, and the horse was indeed tired. So he nodded and led the people into the Beacon Castle, where the Beacons hurriedly came up to help them change horses. In the Beacon Castle, the beacons are foot soldiers, but the patrols are cavalry, and the cavalry of these patrols are carefully selected, and all the ranks and ranks are high, and the cavalry will also guide the martial arts of the beacons in ordinary times, and everyone has a good relationship.

"Team Xiao, if you really run into Turkic horse thieves in a while, after destroying these wolf cubs, remember to bring me some Turkic things, and I can bring them back to brag and brag in the future."

Team Xiao was taking a big gulp of gourd and drinking sweet well water, drank a full stomach, and handed the empty scoop to Nafengzi, "You kid, it's a serious matter to practice martial arts well, when you have enough skills, you will have the opportunity to join our patrol team at that time, and then you can take the spoils of war in person." ”

"Team Xiao, you can help me get a Turkic bone or bone arrow or something." Fengzi laughed.

"Okay, remember to bring you two."

After a little rest, Lao Xu had already taken the Fengzi to help change the horses, and also reloaded and replenished the equipment.

"Lao Xu, I'll take a run, you take someone to take care of your home, don't let the Turkic wolf cubs raid the house."

"Don't worry, although my old Xu doesn't have the riding and archery skills of Team Xiao, but he also made meritorious contributions on the battlefield in Hedong at the beginning, my Feng, that is also what I exchanged for three thief heads, not bought, there are really Turkic cubs who don't open their eyes to come to make up their minds, this bow in my hand is not a vegetarian, I have to keep a few of him, and maybe I can be promoted to lieutenant officer at that time."

Team Xiao turned his head and got on his horse, explained a few more words, and then took the fifty brothers out of the fort.

"Lao Xu, if I don't return at night, remember to send someone over to check, if my old Xiao is broken, remember to report to Commander Xu immediately!"

"Phew, crow's mouth, in this Western Regions, who can accept you King Xiao Yan, we will make mutton in a water basin at night, and there is a lamb's tail boiled in oil, remember to come back early and eat hot, it's late, those little rabbit cubs, but they won't be left for you."

"Okay."

Team Xiao waved his hand and accelerated his horse.

"Xu rate, what about three hundred Turks, is fifty horses enough for the Xiao team?"

Lao Xu turned around and patted this Fengzi on the shoulder, "Xiao Liu, you are new to our castle, I don't know our situation, our Xiao team, don't look like a big boss, but the family is the Lanling Xiao family, does the Lanling Xiao family know?" The Empress Xiao of Emperor Ming of the Sui Dynasty is the Lanling Xiao Clan, the Southern Liang and Southern Qi Dynasties, all of which are Lanling Xiao Clans, and there are two dynasties of heaven. ”

"I didn't expect that Team Xiao was actually the Lanling Xiao Clan, but why did he come to this Western Regions as a patrol cavalry?"

"It's a long story, our Xiao Teamzheng's father is the concubine of the Xiao clan in Lanling, and he himself is a servant son, understand?"

The more the family is high, the more attention is paid to the distinction between concubines and concubines, and the concubines are not taken seriously, if they are born to noble concubines, it is better, but if this concubine is still a cheap concubine, such as concubines and prostitutes, their status is lower, and if the mother is a slave, that is, a servant child, their status is the lowest, and they are even inferior to some high-level slaves at home.

"Our Xiao team, we want to make a career on our own, earn fame, and earn a life for my biological mother in the future."

Lao Xu sighed that although the head of the Xiao team was not welcomed in the house, he was still from a famous family after all, but he had joined the army for five years and experienced many wars in the Central Plains, and he was promoted to the team leader by himself.

He also offered to be transferred to the Western Regions as a patrol cavalryman.

"Do you know, our Xiao team leader still has a name, Xiao Yanluo, don't look at Xiao team leader is usually very talkative, but when it starts, it is even more terrible than Hades. As for the fifty horsemen under his command, most of them were the thorns of the battalions in Anxi Road, which were not easy to discipline, but our Xiao team leader took the initiative to come to these, and in less than a year, all these thorns were tamed, and now they have all become the little Yama kings, and they are all screaming when they start fighting, last month, they killed a horse thief who did not know whether to live or die in an oasis, and the one that was beaten was called a beautiful one, and there were no casualties, and more than 30 horse thieves were annihilated. ”

"What are the three hundred Turks, if they meet our Xiao team, they are unlucky. Boy, hurry up and clean up the sheep, you are in charge of cooking today, and the mutton in the water basin will be cooked, right? ”

Xiao Liu, a newcomer, nodded hurriedly, "I've eaten it, but I haven't done it." ”

"Hey, you kid, if you don't know how to do it, then learn, go and ask Da Liu, your brother, he is doing well, please teach him."

Lao Xu walked away with his hands behind his back, shaking his head as he walked.

"Hey, if it weren't for me who was born with faintness, I would be a patrol cavalry like Lao Xiao now, and I can't say that I am chasing and destroying the Turkic wolf cubs at this moment, but it's a pity."

Xiao Liu muttered, "I've heard of seasickness, but I haven't heard of people getting seasick." ”

Da Liu, who walked by, smiled and whispered to him, "Let's Xu rate, once you ride a horse, let the horse stack down once, and once you were not only stacked down, but also sat on the horse's butt, from then on, you will faint when you see a horse, so it is called fainting horse." ”
