"You're good enough for your arrows today. The next time you fight someone, remember to lean over the side of the horse as soon as the arrow leaves your hand, so that if you miss your opponent, you still have a chance to shoot the next time! Hou Quli patted Li Xu's shoulder and whispered. Although the friendship between the two sides is not deep, he admires Li Xu's character very much.

Ah Silan walked at the end of the crowd, and before leaving the tent, he untied a string of silver bells from between his braids and put them in Li Xu's hand: "The fence of our camp is in disrepair, and the bull of the Ba Gea family went crazy the day before yesterday, and actually knocked down a large area on the southwest corner. I have to take someone on a night patrol tonight, so I won't drink with you. You Central Plains people like silver, this bell for you. When you think about it, don't forget your brother on the prairie! ”

"That's not going to work!" Li Xu loudly excused himself. was about to hang the silver bell back for Asilan on his head, but he suddenly saw a bit of cunning in the other party's gaze.

"Thank you, Brother Aslan!" Ah Yun stepped forward and answered for Li Xu. The bull of the Barea family went crazy, and it was originally not a matter of attaching the adult. But tonight, I have to say that the bull went crazy in time.

Li Xu's heart was warm, and he sat back by the fire with Asilan in his hand. After the empathetic Ah Yun sent mutton, snacks and milk tea, she pulled the two brothers Zhang and Wang out of the house. At this moment, he was left alone in the tent, and in the beating flames, everything that had happened for most of the year slowly returned to his eyes.

Idyllic quiet days, hearty drinking, taking care of each other in danger, and bloody killings, life and death friendships. Everything drifted away like a dream.

After calming down, Li Xu knew that he did not hate the ruthlessness of the shepherds. To be honest, he has been well taken care of during his months in the Su Si Ministry. Most of the time, he already thinks of this place as his other home in his heart. If it weren't for the Tao Kuo Tuosi incident that happened today, he would even hope to bring his parents and live here forever.

There are no corrupt officials, no tax collectors, and the shepherds, though rude, are not bad for their own people. Several friends have their own personalities, each of them is different, but they get along with each other very well. Especially Dur and Aslan, they can be said to be good brothers who live and die together. Li Xu shook the silver bell in his hand and felt the warmth and sincerity hidden in it.

There was a note in the silver bell, which he had picked out with the tip of his knife and burned to ashes on a charcoal fire. The clumsy handwriting must have come from Dürr's, 'Peace, peace! There are only a few Chinese characters that Li Xu taught in the summer. Durr clearly drew on paper the location of the fence that had been damaged by the bull, and on the other side of the fence, several departing samurai. Outside the gap, a horse carrying two villains galloped into the distance.

In the distance, there is a zigzag city wall, which is the whole concept of the Central Plains in Duer's heart.

"I didn't lie to you!" Li Xu flipped through the parting gifts given by his friends, and a smile appeared on his face. Another gift from Durr and Aslan was stuffed with jerky and cheese, enough for two people? on consumption. As samurai of the Sussibu tribe, they are powerless to overturn the decisions of the elders. As good friends, they hope that Li Xu can get his own happiness.

The autumn wind blew in through the cracks in the tent, and the flames in the charcoal basin dimmed, followed by a faint blue. Li Xu's heart tightened suddenly, and he quickly turned his head to the door. He knew who was coming, and he stood up with a throbbing heartbeat. Only Tao Kuo's footsteps were so silent, and the tent had been drilled countless times, only this time Li Xu's heart was full of expectations.

Tao Kuo's figure floated in gently, silently plunging into Li Xu's arms. Li Xu felt the wetness in his chest, felt the twitching of the girl's shoulder, and his arm tightened again, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.

This is his priceless treasure, no one can take it away, not even the gods and Buddhas. Letting go of his arms, he gently wiped away the tears on Tao Kuo's face with his big hands, and whispered, "Don't cry, we'll leave immediately." Come back to the Central Plains with me and be my wife. ”

Tao Kuo raised his head slightly, and his red and swollen eyes were full of smiles in an instant. She knew that she would take her away, and she knew that this Han man would not forget her promise. Slowly taking a few steps back, she smiled and untied the silver ornaments on her head, and her long waterfall-like hair instantly floated away, reflecting the fire around her, and once again dazzling Li Xu's eyes.

"I'll protect you for the rest of my life, I've saved some money, and a good bow, a good knife!" Li Xu watched the girl turn around gently in front of him, her skirt flying. "There is a gap in the southwest corner of the fence, and no one will be alarmed if we go from there!"

Suddenly, his voice stopped, and his breathing became extremely heavy in an instant. In the firelight, the elf-like dancing Tao Kuo Tuo Silk untied the silk. The brocade fell, and the girl's beautiful carcass blocked all light.

In the firelight, Tao Kuo's body was as holy as a fairy in the clouds. Li Xu involuntarily took a few steps forward, and all the reason in his heart flew to the sky except for the girl. He felt a fire burning in his heart, and felt the urge surging in his hot and humid pulse. His fingers instinctively reached forward, reaching for the most beautiful mountain in the world.

Tao Kuo smiled, took Li Xu's hand, and pressed it on the soft part of his body. She had been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. The bodies of both young men trembled, and a wave of bliss engulfed the tent.

Li Xu lowered his head and kissed greedily at the face that had walked into his sleep countless times. What the teachings of the saints, what the style of a good family, he no longer wants to care. If he had given up the stubbornness in his heart a long time ago and flew with Tao Kuo Desilk, it would have been impossible for the elders to sacrifice Tao Kuo Desilk today.

Happiness was within reach, and he didn't want to regret it anymore.

"Let's go, go back, go back to the Central Plains!" Li Xu frantically kissed Tao Kuo's cheek and muttered. The lips are blissfully warm, and in addition, there is a hint of saltiness.

It was tears, and reason slowly spread all over the body along the salty taste, and Li Xu's body slowly began to stiffen. He froze, opened his eyes in bewilderment, and saw Tao Kuo's detached tears, drop by drop, slowly rolling down from under his red and swollen eyelids.

"Detachment!" Tao Kuo dewired his hands and grabbed Li Xu's neck tightly, blowing like fire.

"Let's go, let's go!" Li Xu slapped himself hard and said loudly. You can't afford to spend too much time in the tent, and the later you go, the greater the risk of being discovered by the elders.

"Attached, I am the daughter of the Patriarch of Syll." Tao Kuo hung on Li Xu's chest, his voice was inaudible, but the words were like thunder.

"I give myself to you, but I, after all, I am the daughter of the patriarch! Turks, Turks have an army of 200,000 "The sobbing sound was like a knife, and the knife cut Li Xu's heart. The last bit of flame in his heart was extinguished by tears, Li Xu let go of his hand and felt the bitter cold of the autumn night.

"Detachment, hug me!" Tao Kuo tears and whispered a plea.

Li Xu picked up Tao Kuo and slowly walked to the felt collapse in the corner of the tent. The body in the crook of the arm was soft against his chest, as if the whole person had melted. He gently placed the girl on the felt, and his greedy gaze swept over the beautiful carcass once more. Suddenly, he smiled and wrapped his embroidered blanket around Tao Kuo's whole body.

"Detachment!" Tao Kuo's body stiffened suddenly, and he choked and cried.

"The Ashina family has been married to the Central Plains for generations, and if you follow me, you can't marry into the Turkic royal family. Otherwise, it will only bring disaster to your people! Li Xu gasped like a wounded beast and said, standing up straight with all the difficulty.

Trying not to look at Tao Kuo's flower-like face, he took the knife from the tent wall and hung it on his waist. He picked up the package full of belongings and food and put it on his shoulder. "I have a knife and a bow to protect you for the rest of your life. If you decide to come with me......" Li Xu turned around, leaned over, and kissed Tao Kuo's forehead again. "I'll wait for you outside the tent, Ah Yun has already prepared a horse for us!"

With that, he smiled and straightened his waist, and moved his legs, leaving the charcoal fire and the girl's sobs behind him.

Outside the felt tent, the night was already deep, and the watery starlight shone down overhead, illuminating the whole field.
