Hearing this, Li Xu had no choice but to step on the back of the Turkic warrior. For him, there is a flat ground on the back of the living. After swaying for a long time, he finally stood firm, and before he could thank the warrior who had stepped up for him, he heard Ashina Qiyu ask loudly: "That must be the sage Xu who is famous in Modong and cleverly broke the iron horse of the Xi clan." But what an honor it is to meet two young heroes at the same time today! ”

Xu Dayan originally planned to pretend to be Li Xu's companion to pass the test, but when he heard it, he revealed his identity, so he had to step forward to salute, bowed down and said: "Xu is in the grassland, and he has heard about Brother Yu's methods for a long time, and I can see it today, it is really a good opportunity given by Immortal God!" ”

"Brother Xu is polite, I saw snow falling in the sky, and I thought that I would be able to wait for the two of you in spring next year. I didn't expect to welcome the two heroes so soon! But Yu bowed down to Xu Dayan and returned the salute and laughed.

Both of them are smart people, and they talk to the point. After laughing, Qi Yu pulled Li Xu with one hand and Xu Dayan with the other, and pulled the two teenagers into the camp gate as if they had not seen friends for many years. In the company camp, the sound of drums immediately sounded loudly, and thousands of Turkic warriors played all the instruments of the army, such as war drums, gongs, and horns.

"The new city is grass-created, and the rough people in the army can't make any sound of mountains and flowing water. I let them be lively and lively, hoping that the two brothers are not strange but slow guests! Ashina Qiyu smiled, with unquestionable politeness in his tone.

"This is a place to hide soldiers, of course, you have to use the drum to sound enjoyable. I guess that song just now must have been the sound of a forward attack! Men are in the world, and it is also a pleasure to listen to this every day! Xu Dayan smiled and praised as if he admired the chaotic rhythm.

"People say that Sage Xu is as wise as the sea, and when I saw it today, it was really amazing!" Ashina Choyu raised his thumb and praised, but what came out of his mouth was a Chinese sentence.

"It's just a matter of listening to the strings and knowing the elegant arts, and the small skills of carving insects are not worth the Fang family's laughter!" Xu Dayan simply dropped his schoolbag, and his writing was crepe, as if he was learning from Confucianism.

Except for Li Xu, the people around him were confused. Ashina but Yu didn't explain to everyone, quoting a sentence of "Book of Songs" in the east and a sentence of "Analects" in the west, and actually chatted with Xu Dayan.

Inside the wooden city walls, there are countless felt bags. From the outside to the inside, different colors of linen are sewn on the top of the felt bags in different positions. Circles, rows, and rows, it looks neat. Everywhere Ashina Choyu passed, someone leaned out from the door to salute him. Soldiers, shepherds, craftsmen, and so on. The red cloaks are interspersed around the felt bags, always one step ahead of the road, and the road that Lord Qiyu is about to pass through is "cleaned".

"But Brother Yu ruled the city with soldiers, and he was really clever!" Xu looked around for a while, then turned his head sideways and praised in Turkic.

"I just got this land by the gift of Immortal Heaven, and I have to manage it more tightly. When the herders are familiar with their surroundings, they don't have to be so rigid. But Yu nodded and smiled and replied modestly.

Li Xu has not seen many cities, so he can't see many doorways. I just think that this wooden city is huge enough and neat enough, but it seems to be missing something compared to any small county in the Central Plains. "It's fireworks!" As he walked, he gradually got an answer in his heart. The streets of my hometown are crowded and dirty, but the noise of buying and selling is full of life. The wooden city is neat and clean, but it is like a prison without any warmth.

As they spoke, the three of them walked to the central tent. This big tent for Ashina Choyu to deal with government affairs and banquets is even more majestic, just looking at the area of the felt tent, it can already be worth the felt bag group of the Sil patriarch's family that day. More than 20 gold-armored guards and a number of generals and civil officials under Ashina Choyu walked in one after another to greet the guests, but the tent did not seem crowded at all. It's just that the names of those people are long and lengthy, and there is an official position with a strange pronunciation in front of the name, what big Mei Lu Pei Li Gollum, Little Bourke Bilian, right Tutun Kesi reasonable, left Tutun Basi Hara, etc., made Li Xu's eyes go straight to Venus. (Note 5)

After a circle of friends finished introducing them, Ashina Choyu clapped his hands, and immediately a housekeeper in charge of banquet etiquette stepped forward to arrange for everyone to take a seat. In order to show respect for the guests, the host's family referred to the Central Plains custom since the Qin and Han dynasties to let everyone eat separately. Li Xu and Xu Dayan came from afar, and were arranged on the top passenger seat closest to Qiyu by one left and one right. The two of them resigned again and again, but Ashina was not allowed. I had no choice but to obey the arrangement of the master's family and sit down.

The musicians at the door blew the horns, and a team of young women dressed in flowers and butterflies walked into the big tent and delivered fragrant milk tea. A Shi Qiyu poured the first lamp with his own hands, and left the table to hold it in front of Xu Dayan.

For the customs of the Turkic people, Xu Dayan was already familiar with it at this moment. took the milk tea, held a curly-bearded Turkic general with both hands to his head, the Turkic general was slightly stunned, and immediately smiled, picked up the tea bowl with both hands, and handed it to the Turkic civil official who was even lower in his head.

Ashina Choyu is the younger brother of Shibi Khan, and he is the leader of the army, and he is only a high-ranking official second only to the prime minister in the Turks. The generals under his command, who can sit and eat with them in the account, are at least a prominent position such as a tutun. Today, they were arranged to sit under the two infamous Han boys, and everyone was unwilling. At this time, seeing that Xu Dayan was so proficient in Turkic etiquette, the mustard in his belly suddenly became a little smaller.

After a round of milk tea, the atmosphere between the guests and the host was much more harmonious. The butler who was in charge of arranging the banquet ran down, and after a while, he lined up with dozens of female slaves to enter the account and arrange melons and fruits for each low table. What grapes from the Western Regions, autumn pears from the Central Plains, grass chestnuts from Liaodong, and large peaches from Goryeo tribute, one by one, plate by plate, Li Xu was dazzled. There are some fruits that he can't name at all, but Ashina Choyu picks up one and persuades him, so he picks up one and eats it. Sour, sweet, fragrant, crispy, but also a lot of fun.

Xu Dayan's eating is far more elegant than Li Xu's, and almost every fruit is tasted lightly. Occasionally, I will comment a few times, boasting about the purity of the taste and origin, and I can hear that the host and the accompanying guests here are proud.

"Sage Xu is like a god with soldiers, he must be a disciple of the Great Sui General, I don't know which hero the sage inherited." Sitting in the third place on the left, a general in gilded leather armor stood up and asked in a low voice.

Xu looked back with big eyes, vaguely remembering that this person's name was Bi Lian, and he was a Burke who led the troops. sat up straight and replied seriously, "Where am I behind the door, but I have gnawed a few military books and compared them randomly, who would have expected that I would be lucky and win a bet." That is, the situation at that time forced me to do it. Thinking about it now, I'm a little scared! ”

"Sage Xu is humble, if you are indiscriminate, we are all blind people riding blind horses!" Little Burke sat down cross-legged and said with a smile.

Judging from the appearance of the two of them, the officials have already seen that Li Xu must be from a poor family. I thought that Xu Xian, who had a calm demeanor, was a high-ranking official of the Great Sui, so he was able to receive them with such a big pomp. Unexpectedly, this person was also a grass people, and the expressions on his faces suddenly became rebellious, and he occasionally raised tea to salute him, and he no longer stood up.

"Among them, there is a saying that heroes don't ask about their origins. At that time, Lord Attached Li shot down my eagle with an arrow, and Xu Xian skillfully broke the rope head Xi 5,000 elite soldiers. We're at his age, but still riding horses and chasing rabbits? Seeing that his subordinates gradually began to indulge, Ashina Qiyu coughed and introduced with a smile.

When the Turkic officials saw their superiors talking like this, they immediately regained their enthusiasm. Someone asked Suo Touxi and Zhu Fei about the war between Suo Touxi and Zhu Fei, and someone asked about the legend of the blessing of the holy wolf. When it comes to the scene of the two armies fighting and the flesh and blood flying, he said it in detail, and he can't wait to describe every action and eyes to everyone clearly. When it comes to how to use troops and how to anticipate the enemy, he is dizzy, as if he has not participated in decision-making at all.

However, several generals under Yu's command are all people who have experienced the battle array, and when they hear it, they know that Xu Dayan's words are not true. hindered the face of Lord Qiyu, and everyone didn't break it, and followed the civil officials who didn't know how to fight. Li Xu was clumsy, and he knew that telling stories was not as exciting as Xu Dayan, so he didn't interject and ate hard.

After killing two large bunches of grapes and a few peaches that were born out of season, a female slave girl held a silver cup and plate. One by one, the workmanship is fine, the pattern is exquisite, and Li Xu's eyes are shining. Xu Dayan also stopped boasting, picked up a silver meat cleaver, and carefully examined its origin and color.
