Autumn has arrived, and the grass tips are already dyed with a little sunshine. When the wind blows, golden scales dance between the layers of green waves, as if a bay ripples under the sky. Horses are like fish, sheep are like shells, and as for people, they are immortals who are at ease in the mirage.

"Yawn!" A few strands of silver hair rolled into Li Xu's nostrils with his breathing, itching him to sneeze. The tenderness from his chest and the girl's body fragrance sent by the autumn breeze made him feel very comfortable, in the boundless sea of grass, without any dusty sunlight, he really wanted to be drunk like this.

"Attached, when I get old and no longer pretty, will you get tired of me?" The girl's sweet and greasy voice crawled from her chest and down her ears to the bottom of her heart.

"No, I'm sure not!" Li Xu bowed his head and swore in the girl's ear. Tao Kuo's silky and crystal earlobes were like a grape, and he couldn't help but take a bite of it.

Tao Kuo snorted, melted and stuck to his body. Li Xu held a beating flame and sat down slowly. The two horses groaned a few times and ran away impatiently. The heavens and the earth were suddenly empty, and under the sunset, on the tips of the grass, only a pair of shadows snuggled up to each other were left.

"You're a hero like your father, and I'm not as scheming as Aunt Qing......"

"I'm not a hero, I'm just a small trader, a small trader from the Central Plains......."

"You are my hero, always ......."

The delicate red slowly ushered in, and when it met the hard lips, invisible lightning suddenly surged, triggering a small thunderstorm. Like flowing clouds, two trembling eyelashes gently brushed the man's rough cheeks blown by the wind on the prairie. The wind stopped, the grass was quiet, and a blushing sunset slowly hid to the west, hidden.

"Yes, yes!" A hurried sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the prairie. Immediately after, another exclamation of a woman was heard in the distance. The panicked screams of the sheep and the roar of the shepherd dogs rolled through the distance like thunder.

"It's Patter!" Li Xu and Tao Kuo jumped up at the same time. Aslan's wife, Pa Dai, is more than eight months pregnant, but she is unwilling to hide in a felt bag to give birth. Every day, he insisted on going to the grassland, and arranged for his own families and herdsmen to seize the time to harvest autumn grass and firewood. Autumn is short on the grasslands, and the first snow can fall shortly after the summer has passed. Last year's expedition added a dozen slaves and a large number of livestock to Aslan's family, and if enough firewood and forage were not stocked up before the snow fell, people or livestock could freeze to death in the cold of winter.

Taukotosi whistled and summoned the two mounts closer. The two of them flew on their horses and took off their horned bows from behind their saddles. Those who dare to go wild near the camp of the Susibu can only be lone wolves or horse thieves who take risks. The people have a tradition of protecting women and children, and no matter how many beasts and horse thieves come, Li Xu and Tao Kuotuosi have the obligation to protect Pa Dai from the safe escape.

"You should take Ganro out!" Li Xu thought regretfully while desperately driving the mount. Ganro had grown bigger than any sheepdog, and when he howled, he was so awe-inspiring that even hundreds of wild wolves did not dare to approach the sheep even half a step.

"It's an eagle! It was the eagle who stole the sheep of the Aslan family! Tao Kuotuo pointed to the sky and shouted, his voice relieved. The eagle is the overlord of the sky, and all living creatures smaller than it, from swans and lambs to hares, are the targets of its attacks. At the turn of summer and autumn, the lamb has just escaped from the protection of the ewe, and is ignorant of the dangers of the outside world. With their small bones and tender flesh, they are the best hunting targets for eagle owls.

Following Tao Kuo's pointing, Li Xu also saw the low-flying figure clearly. It was an adult black eagle with a fat lamb in its claws, so it flew only about thirty paces. Behind the cloud-like eagle shadows, dozens of horses galloped quickly, and the knight on horseback waved the reins and shouted at the eagle eagle.

As if deliberately fighting with people, the eagle refused to put the lamb down or speed up its flight. Leisurely flapping his wings, ignoring all threats under the sky.

"Great, Sister Patelle is fine!" Tao Kuo took off the ribbon and grabbed the reins of the horse, patted his chest and said. The excessive fright and high-speed gallop made her heart almost jump out of her throat, and her face turned red, as delicate as a blooming peach blossom.

Li Xu smiled and looked at the beautiful flowers beside him, and gently put the arrow on the bowstring. He once promised to shoot an eagle with his own hands to show Tao Kuo Tuo Si, Tao Kuo Tu Silk may have forgotten the promise at that time, but he himself has not forgotten it.

Instinctively sensing the threat from below, the low-flying eagle screamed, speeding up the fluttering of its wings. In the astonished gaze of everyone, it flew higher and higher, higher and higher, and suddenly, its wings flickered, and its entire body fell at the same time as the prey between its claws.

The black eagle fell into the grass, shook off the lamb from its paws, staggered to its feet, and flew high. Staggered down, fell. Like drunkenness, it flew up again, and fell again. At last, when it had no strength to raise its wings any longer, it raised its head and cried out in desolation throughout the field.

"Whew!" The sound of carvings is endless. The overlord of the sky died and couldn't believe it, someone shot it after it spread its wings.

"Detachment!" Tao Kuo shouted excitedly, and rode his horse to chase after Li Xu and run in the direction where the black eagle landed. She saw everything her sweetheart had done for herself, riding a horse, bending her bow, shooting on her back, and in the eyes of the girl, there had never been a man in the whole grassland who galloped with a bow as smooth as a song.

Li Xu retracted his bow, rode his horse, and suddenly leaned over at the moment when the horse's hooves swept past the black eagle, and picked up the eagle's corpse like a cloud. He drew his bow and arrows at a gallop, turned his horse's head, and ran back to meet Tao Kuo's smiling face.

The second horse mistook his neck and stopped in his tracks.

"I'll send you!" The tower-like young man holds a black eagle with low wings, full of pride.

"Why?" Tao Kuodesi, who had never known what politeness was, suddenly became shy, lowered his head, and played with the reins of the horse, his voice as thin as a gnat.

Why? Li Xu didn't know why he remembered the promise he made that day. Looking at Tao Kuo's delicate and shy appearance, there was a sudden flash of inspiration in front of him, holding a black eagle in his hand, and replied loudly: "Because I want to marry you as a wife!" ”

"What did you say?" Tao Kuo's face was instantly flushed, and he instinctively asked.

"I'm going to marry you!" Ignoring the crowd around him that was gradually approaching, Li Xu took off his silk at Tao Kuo and repeated loudly.

"I'm going to marry you!" Under the dreamy sun, the vows drift away on the grass tips with the evening breeze.

Unexpectedly, the elm head in front of him suddenly opened, and Tao Kuo's detached face was as ashamed as the sunset on the horizon in an instant. I had drilled into the tent several times, but not once was I so nervous. Pluck up the courage to look up, your eyes are shining, and you can't say anything about tenderness and sweetness. Just as they were looking at each other, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "That boy, if you please your mother-in-law, you can't kill my family's eagle as a gift!" ”

Li Xu felt a sudden shock in his heart, and suddenly turned around. I saw more than a dozen strange strong men wearing scarlet cloaks forming a half-fan shape, and they all cut off the way between themselves and Tao Kuo. has been a god stick for more than half a year, and he can be regarded as a person who has experienced the battle array. As soon as you look at the formation, you know that the strong men are not good. Immediately threw the black eagle corpse on the horse's back, lifted the reins of the horse with his left hand, covered Tao Kuo behind him, turned his wrist with his right hand, and put it tightly on the handle of the scimitar.

"What evidence is there for your eagle owl?" Tao Kuo didn't believe that anyone was bold enough to dare to do something to himself near Su Xu's department, poked out half his head from behind Li Xu, and asked angrily.

"Are you blind, look at the ankle rings!"

"Do wild eagles have ankle bracelets?" The strong men shouted and cursed one after another. One by one, they were eager to try, ready to cut Li Xu and Tao Kuo under the horse at any time.

Li Xu quickly turned his head sideways on horseback, and the corner of his eye swept to the carving? on the Golden Ring. It is made of pure gold ankle ring, the pattern is delicate and tight, between the layers of gold wire patterns, there are faintly engraved a few lines of text.

Now it's a big problem, the flat-haired beast must be the scarlet cloak's favorite, no wonder it just stole the lamb of the Aslan family but is not in a hurry to fly high. Li Xu said secretly in his heart. was thinking about how to apologize to the other party, and heard Tao Kuo behind him retort loudly: "How about your domestic carving?" If you hadn't allowed the black eagle to rob my lamb, how could you have shot it with an arrow! If you were rude in the first place, how can you blame us for not being able to see whether it is domesticated or wild? ”

Strong men in scarlet cloaks are used to roaming the grasslands, and their own black eagles have robbed other people's lambs, and they have always only used it for play. The so-called scolding and chasing was originally pretending. I never expected that there would be a flurry like Li Xu in this remote place, and he shot the black eagle into the dust with one arrow without asking about the green.

was exposed by Tao Kuo's words, and they were immediately annoyed and angry. At that moment, someone shouted loudly: "What do you have to say to these savages, just cut it down and pay for the life of the black eagle!" After speaking, the horse's head jumped forward and rushed straight towards Li Xu.

Only after rushing out three or five steps, a cold arrow suddenly flew from the oblique down, from the horse's eye to the horse's brain. The war horse was so angry that he fell to the ground with a "plop", threw the red cloak on the horse's back more than three feet forward, knocked down several feet of weeds, and twitched, unable to move again. The other brawny men in red cloaks were taken aback and took the reins with them. Both sides looked sideways at the same time, only to see a warrior of the Xia tribe with a dozen shepherds, running violently.

"Ah Silan, why did you chase after you!" Holding his scimitar aloft, he shouted at the samurai who came to help.

"Padel was shocked by their brute, I was busy taking care of her just now!" Ah Silan looked at the red cloaks hatefully and put another feather arrow on the bow arm. More than a dozen shepherds, armed with scimitars and lassos, followed him menacingly, waiting for Ah Si Lan Yu's arrows to leave the string, and they were about to rush up and tear each other to pieces.

"Where did the wild man come from, he dared to attack the Turkic wolf rider!" The leader in the red cloak angrily reported to his house, and although the expression on his face was fierce, the mount unconsciously moved a few steps back. They have already seen the power of Ah Silan's arrow, and at this moment, there are many people on the other side, but there are few people on their own, and no one wants to lose their lives in a daze.

"Where did the brute come from, he actually dared to spread wild in the pasture of the Su Si Department!" Ah Si blue iron blue face, scolded loudly. Just now, the black eagle swooped down from mid-air, just past the feet of his wife, Padel. Pa Dai, who was about to give birth, was taken aback, and immediately her stomach hurt so much that she couldn't stand up. He was so busy taking care of his wife that he couldn't bend his bow to chase after the black eagle for revenge. Now that Li Xu is in trouble because of the eagle shooting, even if the owner of the eagle is the king of heaven, he has to stand up and carry it with his friends.
