Both sides speak Turkic, with few words and a very stiff tone. Seeing that the conflict was about to break out, there was a sudden sound of fierce horses' hooves in the distance, and someone shouted loudly while galloping his horse: "Stop me, if you have anything to say, say it slowly!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the horse's head was already closing behind the scarlet cloak. More than a dozen scarlet-cloaked men immediately jumped off their horses, made way for a passage, and respectfully leaned over and responded: "Yes, my subordinates respectfully obey Lord Yu's orders!" ”

"But Yu?" Li Xu and Ah Silan looked at each other in confusion. From the respectful attitude of the red cloaks, they guessed that the identity of the visitor was not low. However, the Su Sibu did not have much contact with the Turks, and they did not know whether it was an official name or a personal name.

"Why do you conflict with others, have you forgotten my advice?" In an instant, the visitor had rushed into the crowd. In the distance, more than forty horsemen quickly approached here.

"Woo-woo-woo-" The shepherd of the Susi tribe, who was in charge of the vigilance, sounded the horn in the distance, and a procession of more than fifty people approached, and the tribe must be prepared accordingly, regardless of whether the intention is good or evil.

The sound of horns one after another surprised the visitors, looked around, looked at Li Xu and A Silan's outfits, bowed down, and asked, "Is it the descendants of the white swan standing on horseback in front of me?" Ashina Choyu was ordered by the Great Khan to come to greet the descendants of the White Swan! ”

"Su Si Asilan, Attached, Su Si Tao Kuo Desi, I have seen Lord Qiyu!" Ah Silan put away the horned bow, pressed her hand on her shoulder, and leaned over to return the salute. The entire Xia tribe is a vassal of the Turks, although it is not clear the identity of the person who came, the resounding name of the Ashina family, but no one on the grassland does not know.

It was the surname of the Turkic royal family, which means the colostrum of the she-wolf and the elder of the wolves. For hundreds of years, generations on the prairie have honored this surname.

"It turned out to be a good brother of the Su Si Department, the head of the swan!" Ashina clapped his hands and laughed, "My subordinates lack education and collide with their own brothers, please don't be surprised by Brother Aslan!" ”

There is a way to stretch out his hand and not hit the smiling person, and the other party is still a descendant of the Turkic royal family who came to the Xia tribe with good intentions! Ah Silan smiled helplessly and replied, "They frightened my wife by releasing the carving, I have already seen it, and they didn't cause any big trouble!" ”

"You brutes, why did I tell you to come before I left!" Hearing Ah Silan's reply, Qi Yu immediately picked up the horsewhip and whipped it towards the leader of the red cloak.

The leader of the red cloak, who was still menacing, immediately became half a cut shorter, and he slammed several whips in succession before he had the courage to explain: "Lord Hui, he, they, he shot your black eagle!" ”

"Huh?!" Ashina Qiyu exclaimed in surprise and looked back at Ah Silan and Li Xu. Behind Li Xu's horse, he saw a pair of low-hanging wings. It was his precious wings, and he remembered every feather.

The eagle is the male of the sky, nesting on the cliff. If you want to raise an eagle, you have to pull it out of the nest when it is just hatching. On the way to take the carving, you have to pay attention to the stone wall under your feet, and you have to beware of the female eagle and the male eagle attacking from mid-air, and often have to pay more than a dozen lives in exchange for a young chick. And the young eagle has a stubborn temper, does not eat fresh flesh and blood, and dies when abused, and I don't know how much effort it will take to raise it safely. Coupled with the manpower and material resources it takes to train it to reconnoiter the enemy's movements and obey the orders of its master, a well-trained black eagle is worth far more than the same weight of gold. Therefore, seeing that the black eagle stole someone else's lamb, the Turkic wolf riders would never seriously seek justice for the lamb owner, and secretly expected to use this behavior to maintain the eagle's wildness.

"It stole the sheep of the Aslan family, and scared the pregnant Paddy, I thought it was a wild thing, so I shot it down with an arrow!" Li Xu picked up the body of the black eagle from behind, put it on the ground, and apologized to Ashina Choyu.

From the other party's temperament and dress, he deduced that the status of the person in the Ashina family is not low. The more than forty guards brought by the other party had slowly approached, and a long cavalry formation was lined up not far away. If there is a conflict between the two sides before the Sil patriarch and the garrison warriors arrive, the shepherds of the Susi tribe will definitely suffer a great loss.

"It causes trouble first, otherwise it won't fight back!" Tao Kuo walked out from behind Li Xu and stood side by side with him. The horses of the visitors were much taller than the others' mounts, and the distance of a few hundred paces was instantaneous. If this person wants to fight with Attachment because of the death of the sad black eagle, Attachment will suffer a big loss in terms of mounts. The little girl doesn't care about any Turkic family, she only thinks about how to defend against strong enemies side by side with her sweetheart.

"You shot it down with just one arrow?" After a long pause, Ashina Qiyu raised his head and asked with a sigh. This trip has an important mission, and he naturally won't hurt his peace because of a black eagle and Su Sibu. But the eagle, who had been trained to dodge bows and arrows, was shot by an arrow from a nameless boy with black hair and black eyes who looked very much like a Han Chinese, and this result was difficult for him to accept in any way.

Li Xu nodded, not knowing why the other party asked. The flat-haired beast flew so low at that time, not only himself, but also Aslan, Tao Kuodesi, and even a few bow-wielding servants of the Asilan family, could have killed it with one arrow.

"This kid from the side? Go up, I can't help but say that it's an arrow! The red cloak leader who was drawn by Qi Yu with a blue nose and swollen face pointed at Li Xu and framed him with bad intentions.

Ashina's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he glanced back at the leader and ordered him to shut up. He took a few steps forward with the reins of the horse, and asked Li Xu with a pleasant face: "What kind of bow do you use, can you lend it to me?" ”

"Absolutely!" Li Xu generously untied the bow bag from behind the saddle and handed it over with both hands. He could see the grief and indignation on Ashina Choyu's face at the moment he heard the news of the black eagle's death, and he could still maintain politeness in such an angry situation, and his self-cultivation skills were really admirable. According to Xu Dayan, this kind of person who can keep a cool head at all times had better not be an enemy of him, otherwise, he must be careful to deal with it.

Ashina Choyu looked at the bow arm repeatedly, adjusted the bowstring, and pulled a few half-full times in succession, and finally understood the reason why the black eagle was killed today. The wind driven by the wings of the eagle eagle with the length of a horseback flapping its wings is extremely strong, and the feather arrows shot by the ordinary wooden bow are already crooked by the wind, even if they are lucky enough to hit the eagle body, the remaining strength cannot penetrate the thick feathers. And this one in his hand is a thing made in the heyday of the Great Sui, and it cannot exert its full power unless it is a person with great strength. Once you can shoot with a full bow, the feather arrow is as fast as lightning. There were only seven such bows in the entire Turkic royal court. One of them was damaged when it was taken to the craftsman to make a sample replica, and no one has been able to repair it so far.

Thinking of this, Ashina still bowed into his pocket, and asked tentatively: "This little brother, can you transfer this bow?" ”

In a word, all the people present were so shocked that they all pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife. For the men of the steppe, the bow on the shoulder, the knife in the hand, and the mount under the crotch all represent their dignity. Friends can give weapons and horses as gifts, and if a stranger asks for a weapon or mount, it is equivalent to telling the other party that he wants to duel him.

"Your mount is very handsome, I wonder if you can sell it to me?" Li Xuqing had a knife in his hand and asked indifferently.

Ashina Choyu's mount snorted a few times, and its front hooves were raised high. As a good horse in battle, it instinctively felt the pressure coming from the scimitar on the opposite side. It was the cold from the bottom of the ice lake, and under the pressure of the young man's anger, Peng Pai was surging like a storm.

"Huh?" Ashina was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that it was his momentary gaffe that caused the misunderstanding between the two parties. Led the mount to retreat a few steps, avoiding Li Xu's edge, and explained with a smile: "Little brother, don't worry, I just felt itchy for a while, and asked casually, not intentionally provocative." What are you doing, don't give me a back down! ”

The second half of the sentence was issued to the guards around him and the cavalry not far away, and after drinking, the coercion was self-defeating. The red cloaks that rushed forward to protect the Lord and the Turkic wolf riders on the periphery stopped at the same time, their movements so neat that they seemed to be suddenly pulled by the same invisible arm.

This is a realm that can only be achieved by a soldier of a hundred battles, and although the shepherds of the Su Si tribe have undergone strict training by Xu Dayan and the Patriarch of Xi'er, they are far from being able to achieve this level. Li Xu looked back at the faces of the shepherds, and knew that he had fallen behind in a moment just now. Shaking his head, he deliberately replied without knowing what to do: "You see my bow itching, and I see your horse itching and scratching, why don't you exchange my bow for your horse?" ”

"Coax!" A burst of laughter erupted from the Turkic wolf rider. They had never seen such a boy who didn't know the height of the sky, and he actually took the initiative to ask Lord Qiyu for a bow for a horse.

"Do you know where this horse came from?" The young man who didn't meet the other side dared to force himself to take a step, but Ashina couldn't help but be a little angry, and asked loudly while handing the bow back to Li Xu.

Li Xu shook his head with a smile, as long as he squeezed out of Qiyu, he would be considered to have increased his prestige. As for what kind of good breed the horse under the other party's crotch is, to be honest, he didn't see it at all, and he didn't care too much.

"This is the Turkic royal family from the hands of the Persian royal family thousands of miles away with a thousand slaves in exchange for the good breed and the Khitan tribute to the Tosu ministers and wild horses, a thousand miles a day, no one is allowed to ride unless there is the blood of the Ashina royal family!" But Yu sneered and said with a bit of arrogance.

"Boy, I heard you!" The red cloaks shouted loudly, their voices full of disdain.

"Do you know the origin of my bow?" Li Xu was provoked by the other party's contemptuous eyes, and held up the riding bow that Yu returned and asked rhetorically.

"Tell me about it!" Ashina Keyu shrank his shoulders back, making a deferential appearance. The antics caused the Turks behind him to burst into laughter.

"This is the bow that the shopkeeper of the Shanggu Inn in the Great Sui spent a meal in exchange for a bow, adjusted by the hand of Li Xu, a hawker in the Great Sui, who usually shoots rabbits and beats birds, which is not worth a few dollars, but this is the dignity of a man, and it is not easy to be a daughter!" Li Xu smiled indifferently, neither humble nor arrogant.

The first half of his sentence was extremely witty, and even Ah Silan and the others couldn't help but smile. In the second half of the sentence, it was very solemn, especially the sentence that it was not easy, it was simply loud, and for a while, all the royal families and good breeds were compared.

The Turkic royal family has dignity, and so do the Great Sui peddlers. In the world of immortality, these two dignitys are no differentiated.
