Chapter 1: The Great Thief (13)

、、、、、、、

"I'm seventeen years old, it's your brother!" Xu said with a smile, and gently took out a dagger from the boot with his right hand. The bright starlight illuminated the dagger's icy frost blade, and also illuminated his eyes.

"There's a valley ahead!" Li Xu said in a low voice, suddenly turned his head sideways, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw something flashing in Xu Dayan's hand.

Before he could say a word, Xu Maogong's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and with one hand, the whole person flew away from the horse's back, and at the moment when his body was in the air, the dagger stabbed hard on Hei Feng's ass.

"Huh-" The black wind let out a long, piercing roar, and his entire body soared forward. Li Xu opened his mouth wide and saw Xu Dayan fall into the grass behind him like a meteor.

"Brother Mao Gongβ€”" He was so frightened that his heart jumped out of his throat, and he tried to turn the horse's head with all his might. Black Wind, who was stabbed in the back of his buttocks, refused to obey the order, spread his four hooves, and moved forward as quickly as possible.

"Brother Mao Gong--" Li Xu heard his own cry of sorrow echoing on the grassland. I also heard the barking of dogs and the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind. Suddenly, he turned his heart sideways, and felt a coat from the jacket on his back, and then, as quickly as he could, he felt a fire fold from his waist and lit the silk robe.

This was a thank you gift from the rescued Han hawker when he and Xu Dayan taught two bullying Turks in Yuyang County last year. Lake blue is the favorite color of young readers. Li Xu sent a piece to Tao Kuo to take off the silk, and after Tao Kuo took off the silk to ask Aunt Qing for advice, he sewed a robe for him with his own hands. It doesn't fit, but it's very warm.

The silk robe quickly ignited, illuminating the long night. The barking of dogs and the sound of horses' hooves were attracted by the sudden firelight, and more than 100 Turkic warriors instigated their horses and watched the firelight chase after them.

"I beat a wolf, a wolf, and used his entrails to feed the wild donkey. I beat a deer, a deer, and used its fur to sew a suit. I didn't have the leopard next to my felt bag, it hunted deer for me when I was out hunting. I shot the black eagle in the sky, and it guided the jackals to attack my cattle and sheep......."

Li Xu waved the fire suit in his hand and sang loudly in Turkic. The meaning of the pastoral song was completely reversed by him, and the words violated the taboo of the Turks. There were tears in his eyes, but there was no hurt or fear in his heart.

"I beat a wolf, a wolf, and fed the wild ass with his entrails......." The song pierces through the darkness and melts into the darkness.

"Am I alive?" Li Xu moved his little finger slightly, not sure of this answer. The soft cushion under the body is like a grass, and the warmth on the face may also come from the sun. He secretly opened his eyes a slit, and the blue sky that had been washed with water squeezed in through the gap in his eyelids.

The peculiar clear sunlight of the prairie told him that this place was still human. "I'm alive!" Li Xu let out a silent cheer in his heart. Quickly tense the skin of the whole body to test the limbs, and found that there was no feeling of restraint on the body, only a sore and soft after exertion, which made people have no strength to do more movements. It was an exciting sourness, and at this point it at least proved the fact that it did not fall into the hands of Ashina Choyu.

Slightly closed his eyes and kept in a state of fake sleep, Li Xu desperately remembered what happened to him last night. Memories flooded back, piercing his heart with a throbbing pain. He remembered that Xu Dayan jumped into the grass after stabbing Hei Feng in order not to drag himself down and flee for his life. He also remembered that he set the lake blue robe on fire, trying to attract the attention of his pursuers. He also remembered the song he had improvised last night, which challenged the taboo of the Turks at every turn. He remembered that the Turks had chased him into a dark valley and vowed to catch him by the light of the lantern, and he smiled, tears rolling down the grass from the corners of his eyes......

"Manly man, wake up, wake up, cry what to cry!" A rough voice came from overhead, making Li Xu tremble. Opening his eyes as quickly as he could, he saw a young man about his own age biting on a straw stick, his black and yellow face full of contempt.

"Dry in the morning, drip out by yourself!" Li Xu's face was slightly red, and he quibbled in a low voice.

"To cry is to cry, to laugh is to laugh, what is there that you dare not admit. Look at how you looked like a good man when you fought against the Turks last night, how did you wake up so seedless! The young man spat the ground, but he couldn't spit out the grass residue, and the green liquid on the corner of his mouth was pulled into a shiny strip.......

Li Xu looked a little disgusted, holding the hilt of the knife and trying to sit up. The feeling of soreness in the back of his neck instantly drained all the strength of his body, and he had to fall down again.

"Slow down, Brother Niu started a little heavier yesterday. But don't worry, let Lao Zhang help you massage twice, and you will be more energetic than before you fainted! When the young man saw Li Xu's ugliness, his tone softened. stepped forward to help him and comforted him in a low voice.

"Brother Niu, Lao Zhang?" Li Xu took the young man's arm and slowly sat up straight. This time, he finally sat up, and some of the lost memories slowly returned to his body with the smooth flow of blood.

The last memory of last night was that I was chased by the Turks into a canyon, and then I heard someone order me to stop my horse quickly. Just when he thought he had been ambushed and wanted to draw his knife desperately, a sudden wind came from behind. Then, Li Xu knew that he had fallen off his horse, and before he fainted, he vaguely heard the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air......

Li Xu turned his dizzy head and looked around, last night's valley was not far away, it was an east-west valley sandwiched between two hills. At the junction of Yanshan and grassland, such valleys can be seen everywhere. The only difference is that all the rocks in this valley in front of me are dark black, and there is a faint light smoke rising from the cracks of the ugly stones. Apparently, someone had set a fire in the valley last night.

"Don't look at it, the people chasing us are dead. Liu Zhai and his subordinates do business, and never leave each other alive. The black-faced young man shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Shall we?" Li Xu was even more puzzled in his heart. The guy next to him, who likes to chew straw sticks, is self-acquainted, and he takes himself as his accomplice so quickly. He is the owner of the village in his mouth, and he is buying and selling, I am afraid that his background is not a good kind.

"Of course it's us, you set fire to Ashina Choyu's stockade, stole other people's horses, and killed people. Don't you want to admit any of these things? "The black face spat out a cloud of grass residue again, and 'Yin' said with a smile.

Li Xu never expected that the black face would know all the things he had done, and he was even more shocked in his heart. His eyes widened and he looked around for Black Wind, but found a huge herd of horses not far away.

A herd of horses, no less than three hundred, were leisurely looking for food in the grassland. By the side of the horses, there were more than 100 dirty-clad men lying on the ground, sleeping soundly one by one. Black Wind was tied to the outside of the horses, and there was a man with a very ordinary figure who looked like a man in the rivers and lakes who was applying medicine to the horse's buttocks. A tall, burly man, a merchant, and a hunter wrapped in a beast's skin were walking towards him.

"You set the fire!" Li Xu screamed in surprise, and a somersault jumped up from the ground. I have always wondered why the torches on the tails of a dozen war horses could cause such a big fire, and it turned out that someone secretly poured a bucket of oil on the fire. There is no need to ask, the hundreds of war horses in front of him were all stolen by this group of people from Ashina Choyu's camp, and he and Xu Dayan killed people and seized the door, which was equivalent to opening the way for this group of horse thieves in front of their heads.

"It's not us, it's us. We couldn't find a chance to get off the phone, but you, your honored guest, set the first fire in the host's house. So, we'll help you get the fire bigger. As for these horses, stealing one is stealing anyway, and stealing a group is stealing .......," the black-faced young man said with a smile as he shrugged his shoulders.

A few words, but Li Xu's face turned pale, it was true that he set fire to himself, and it was true that he stole the horse and seized the door, but it was all to get rid of Ashina Yu's forced stay. And after the horse thieves made such a fuss, he completely became a "villain" who set fire to and steal horses, and Ashina Choyu mobilized the forces of half of the grassland to chase and kill him, not only did not bully others, but also had the moral upper hand.

"Whew!" The black-faced young man saw through Li Xu's true thoughts very sensitively, the smile on his face immediately turned cold, he sneered, and scolded mockingly: "Why, looking down on the uncle is a horse thief, isn't it?" Lao Tzu is a thief, but at least he does what he does. Some people are not thieves, but they are not as good as thieves! ”
