Chapter 5: Deer Hunting (19)

、、、、、、、

"Yes, Patriarch Xi'er, I really envy the Immortal Heaven for giving attachment to your tribe!" The Minister of Must-Know Elder Nami said sourly.

As the owner of 'Youjian Warehouse', Li Xu has never thought about the meaning of a warehouse. As the leader of a small caravan, Third Uncle Zhang was flattered by the respect of the elders. But for the old swans on the grassland such as Su Si Xier, Su Si Etuo, and Bi Zhi Na Mi Ye, Li Xu, Zhang San and others are well-deserved nobles in Su Si Ministry.

For the rapidly expanding Susibu, a well-stocked warehouse is the starting point for the tribe to move towards the city, and once the other surrounding tribes become dependent on the supply of goods from the Susi, the Susibu will also be under the command of the other tribes.

"It's all the credit of the adult, this child is righteous and discerning!" Zhang San's dry face also brought a sincere smile. This was the first time he had led an entire caravan as the leader, and if he couldn't satisfy most people, he would not be able to gain a foothold on the road from Yuyang to Saiwai in the future.

He doesn't have Sun Jiu's courage and strength, and the only thing that is better than Sun Jiu may be luck. With the blessing of the God of Wealth, it is difficult for everyone to get rich.

"Yes, Lord Detachment is a blessed star given by the Immortal Heaven to the Su Si Division! Patriarch Sir, I envy you for having so many daughters! She laughed and drank the wine from her bowl. Several young warriors from his tribe were friendly with the Annex, and this man was about to become Suciel's son-in-law. With his current prestige and higher and higher sword skills, it will not be difficult to carve out a sky of his own on the grassland in the future.

The future belongs to the new swans, and the older generation of swans will inevitably move slowly from the head to the end.

"Attachment is the lucky star of the Su Si Division!" Su Sili smiled and raised his glass to each other. Ever since Possession and the Silver Wolf appeared in the Susibu Division, this boy from an alien race has overshadowed everyone's light. When people mention detachment, they almost forget that his patriarch's brother has the same name.

Sue's detached gaze swept over the fire to another nearby campfire. Su Si Asilan, Shetogosana, and Hou Quli, the heroes of the younger generation of several different clans are looking at a scimitar with the biography. The majestic silver wolf Ganluo squatted beside the fire, his brown fur reflected like water and moonlight.

The scimitar was a foot longer and two inches wider than the scimitar commonly used by the steppe warriors. It doesn't have the same curvature as an ordinary scimitar, but it just closes an arc very casually, just like Aunt Qing's dancing posture.

You could say that he was the horizontal knife of the Central Plains, but it was wider and stronger than the horizontal knife. It can be said that it is a scimitar, but it is longer than a scimitar and is also more conducive to slashing. Or neither, it has all the advantages of a transverse knife and a scimitar, and it is in a class of its own. (Note 5)

Su Si Ah Lan was beside the fire, and easily pulled out the coppersmith's proud work. A watery sword light came out of its sheath, eclipsing the fires large and small.

A few feet away, Su Sili still felt the compelling light on the blade. In an instant, the biting chill went straight to the bottom of his heart.

The day after the caravan left, Xu Dayan returned to the tribe. I had a drink with Li Xu, Tao Kuotuosi, Eru, Duer and others, and then hurried to the Xinkai River in the southeast.

"The Khitans want to avenge Suotou Xibu!" Before leaving, Xu hurriedly dropped such a sentence. As for the relationship between the Khitan people and the Xi people, Li Xu, A Silan and others don't know. In addition to the Xi people, there are also five major tribes living on this grassland: Xi, Khitan, Murowei, Jian, and Turkic, and more than a dozen small tribes that Li Xu can't name and don't belong to. They all regard wolves as their ancestors, and they can be considered relatives of each other. They have been fighting against each other for thousands of years, and they can be counted enemies against each other. When the Suotouxi people were driven homeless by the Turks, the Khitans refused to allow them to move into their pastures. Now that the Suotou Xi tribe is extinct, the Khitan people have recited the love of incense again, and they have demanded that the Zhuxi coalition army release the prisoners of war from the Suotou Xi tribe and "return" the property of relatives, cattle and sheep.

Before the integration of the Xia tribes, the Su Si tribe did not have the strength to fight the Khitans. So they could only send envoys to bargain with the Khitans. Xu Xian, whose wisdom is deeper than Crescent Lake, believes that it is fake for the Khitans to take revenge on Suo Touxi, and it is true to take the opportunity to fight the autumn wind. As long as the allied forces of Zhufei are well guarded on the border, the battle will not be able to start for a while.

In the days when there was no war, the wind blew away the bloody memories. Li Xu's inn has grown rapidly, and its business is booming beyond everyone's expectations. Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang are both from merchants, and bargaining is their specialty. Coupled with the assistance of a person who knows Chinese characters, it is more than enough for the three of them to set up a small warehouse.

After no longer bothering about business matters, Li Xu turned all his energy to practicing martial arts and reviewing his homework. Master Coppersmith is a good teacher, Li Xu can not only learn the art of swords and horses from him, but also memorize the words that recorded the achievements of the Sui army in order to please Old Master Yang, and he was also cheerful after the coppersmith explained it. The master and apprentice sometimes quarreled over a record of Master Yang, and they forgot to sleep and eat until they provoked the anger of the coppersmith master. The next day, the coppersmith couldn't help but order Li Xu to recite Master Yang's notes and ponder the mystery by himself.

The coppersmith never forgot Nan Chen, and always sighed that if someone sent a surprise soldier from somewhere, it was enough to make the 400,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Sui fall into the sand. But the more so, the more he admired the resourcefulness and courage of the Northern Sui generals. "Da Chen didn't die at the hands of Shu Bao alone! If there was a Gao Ying or Yang Su in the south that day, the situation would not be so erosive! "There have been countless times when the coppersmith master admired with three points of drunkenness. The love, hatred and hatred of the past have long become a thing of the past, and now he only has admiration and reverence for his former opponents.

"They all said that it was Empress Zhang who confused Chen Shubao, so Da Chen died in the country!" Li Xu smiled and raised the bar with the master.

"The rise and fall are all men's affairs, and men have become turtles with shrunken heads, so they put the blame on women!" The coppersmith took a large sip of wine, made a drum out of an anvil, and struck the sound of a golden iron horse. "The beauty of the country is just a good dream! You remember this sentence, open your eyes in everything, in order to open the sky! ”

"Beauty?" Li Xu knew that his master had taken Master Yang's notes as a snack again, so he unknowingly drank too much. He is just an ignorant and ignorant stupid boy, and pointing out the country is the business of Luo Yi and Yang Su. As for the beauty, a slender figure floated in front of him.

Tao Kuotuosi had already made a marriage contract with him, and was no longer in a hurry to drill his tent according to the tradition of the Yan people. The two occasionally rode horses on trips, strolling from dawn to sunset, where the horses' hooves were trodden, and there was endless poetry and picturesqueness.

"Attached, let's, won't our parents really think I'm a Hu person?" Pulling the reins of his horse, Tao Kuo asked faintly. Eru's sad appearance every day made the little barbarian girl very worried, lest her marriage also go wrong and repeat the tragedy of her sister and Xu Dayan.

"My mom and dad don't care so much. They can't wait to hold their grandchildren as soon as possible! Li Xu raised his hand, gently plucked a blade of grass on Tao Kuo's silky head, and smiled comfortingly.

The caravan had been gone for some time, but the parents' reply had not yet been received. Not only that, but the matter entrusted to Xu Fu and Wang Mazi to rescue Sun Jiu also has no whereabouts. When he was alone, Li Xu often worried about these things. Sometimes I worry that my parents are not as open-minded as I imagined and can accept a Hu person as a daughter-in-law. Sometimes he is afraid that Wang Mazi will be timid and misguided, so that Sun Jiu will not be able to escape the hands of corrupt officials. As for whether he was worried more about Uncle Nine or worried more about his marriage with Tao Kuodesi, the young man himself couldn't figure it out.

"Then Third Uncle Zhang, why didn't they send the letter back?" Tao Kuo Silky lowered his head and kicked up a piece of gravel with his boot. The stone drew a slight mark on the tip of the grass in early autumn, and in an instant it was submerged in the deep green waves.

"The third uncle is greedy, and it is estimated that he will have to form a caravan before he is willing to come!" Li Xu was very distressed by Tao Kuo's frowning appearance, stretched out his arm, and gently hugged her shoulders.

Tao Kuo's shoulders leaned back and leaned comfortably on Li Xu's chest. In the past six months or so, Li Xu's body has risen again. The abundant beef and mutton in the tribe provided sufficient nutrients for the young man who was growing his body, coupled with factors such as daily martial arts practice and riding horses, which made Li Xu's shoulders and back very broad. Even through the clothes, the girl could feel the hard muscles in the other person's chest. The tendons seemed to have magical powers, and whenever they leaned on them, the girl was reluctant to raise her head again.
