Chapter 1: The Great Thief (11)

、、、、、、、

"Khitan tribe, is it far from here?" Li Xu turned his head in front and asked in a low voice.

"No, not far. Why don't you two heroes come with me? Pan Zhanyang heard that there was a meaning of letting go in his words, and asked tentatively.

"Go by yourself, be careful on the road!" Xu Dayan and Li Xu looked at each other and replied in unison.

After an accident in the Su Si Division, both of them lost faith in the enthusiasm of the alien tribe. What if you mix well, when it's time to seek the good of your clan, you are the first victim you can give up. Although the Khitans did not have much contact with the Turks, if Ashina Choyu begged them to set fire to the camp mastermind, they would definitely not risk going to war with the Turkic Khanate for the sake of two foreign boys.

"So, the little one really said goodbye?" Pan Zhanyang sat on horseback and asked hesitantly. Maybe it's because it's hard to meet his own people on the grassland, although the friendship is only a few hours, he has some reluctance to the two teenagers in his heart.

"Let's go, go as far as you can. Find a small tribe to sell the horses early, don't make a big deal! Li Xu whispered. Flipping through the package, he took out a fist-sized piece of jade and stuffed it into Pan Zhanyang's hand, "After settling down, buy a few sheep to live." ”

"That, that's good, that's good!" Pan Zhanyang hurriedly excused himself, stretched out his hand to Li Xu, but his fist involuntarily grabbed the jade tightly.

Li Xu shook his head, packed up the package and got on the horse again. Pan Zhanyang cautiously looked at Xu Dayan's face, looked at Li Xu's bow and arrows, said a few words of goodbye, and pulled his horse to the east. As you walk, you can't keep looking back.

"You rotten good guy is generous!" Looking at Pan Zhanyang's back as he walked farther and farther away, gradually accelerating, Xu scolded with a smile.

"Brother Mao Gong said me? He helped us out! Li Xu was stunned and asked hesitantly. In his impression, Xu Maogong has always been a person who treats money like dung, why is he worried about a piece of jade that is not in good condition today?

"That guy was afraid that he would be caught up by the Turks if he went with us, so he slipped away alone!" Xu Maogong glanced at the good brother who was still a little green on his smiling face, and reminded in a low voice.

"Ahh Li Xu remorsefully wanted to slap himself a few times. Defenseless against other people's calculations again and again, and I don't have a long memory after suffering so many losses, I really have a stone heart!

"Forget it, this kid is a character. Although he is a little less courageous, he has enough eyes and is ruthless enough! Xu Dayan looked at Pan Zhanyang's distant back and commented in a low voice.

There was only a small black dot left on the back of one man and two horses, and the sound of lonely horses' hooves still echoed in the empty and silent wasteland.

The two saw Pan Zhanyang go far away, and they also went south. I ran for half the night in a daze last night, and the "road" in front of me was no longer the one that I stepped on with my feet when I went north with Uncle Nine and others. The surrounding streams were unseen the last time they came north, and some of the dwarf hills were unrecognizable. But these are not a big problem in the young man's heart, the so-called roads are all stepped on by people. There are no roads on the grassland, as long as you keep walking south, you will be able to see the Great Wall one day.

"He once carried a horse to trample the Turkic warriors last night!" As he walked, Li Xu suddenly said something out of nowhere.

"Now you know how stupid you are!" Xu Dayan mercilessly "hit" his self-esteem. "The guy who can ride a horse and kick people, only you believe that he will fall under the belly of the horse!"

"He's afraid that if he goes with us, he will be chased and killed by Qiyu's men! But he refused to say it directly, he had to think of such a stupid way! Li Xu scratched his head, not minding Xu Dayan's evaluation of himself. This is the case between friends, a person who talks to you when they meet and stinks you may not regard you as a brother in his heart. On the contrary, a guy who gives you a smile all day long and is full of praise will stab you when he turns his head. This is also one of the reasons why he is reluctant to accept Ashina Choyu's invitation, with such a "smart" and ruthless person, you have to be careful with every word and deed of the other party, such a day, even if you are rich and rich, I am afraid it will be very boring.

"People kindly invited, but you burned down their camp!" Xu responded with a smile. "If I were Ashina Qiyu, if I didn't catch you, I wouldn't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

"If he can catch us!" Li Xu laughed and kicked the stirrup, instigating the black wind to run out. Ashina Choyu is not a person who is willing to give up, he will definitely use all his strength to hunt down himself and Xu Dayan. Therefore, Pan Zhanqiang found a reason to leave, which does not make people feel resentful. If it was me, I was forced to die by someone I didn't know, and I had to find a way to escape.

"In any case, it's always right to run faster!" Xu Dayan chased after him, and the young man's hearty laughter spread far and wide along the wind.

The camp burns out, and it's useless to find out what caused the fire to get out of control. At present, the first priority is to flee back to the Central Plains, and as for how to avoid military service after returning to the Central Plains, that is a question that needs to be considered after crossing the Great Wall.

The two men have four horses, and they can take turns to regain their mounts as they go. If you see the river wading, see the mountains and climb the mountains and gallop all day, when the sun is in the west, you find a shady hillside to make a fire and cook. This time it was Xu Dayan's turn to go hunting, Li Xu set up a stove with stones, and waited for nearly two sticks of incense, but he didn't see the other party come back. When he was anxious, he suddenly saw Xu Dayan's figure flashing out behind the rock not far above him, the horn bow in his hand was full, but the feather arrow was pointed diagonally in the air.

"Squeak!" A crisp birdsong sounded in mid-air, and a black eagle the size of a goat flapped its wings and soared into the sky. The feather arrow in Xu Dayan's hand came out of the string and went straight to the belly of the eagle, but his strength was exhausted halfway, and the wind blown into the bushes by the black eagle's wings.

"Let's go!" Xu Dayan missed the shot, and immediately retracted his bow. rushed to Li Xu's side and pulled him to run to the war horse. Li Xu was also shocked in his heart, so he didn't ask, he got on the horse and left. The two ran down the hillside for more than ten miles, wanting to rest, but there was a piercing sound of carving over their heads.

"Grandma's, it's a flat-haired beast raised by Ashina Qiyu, you shot its brother, and now I'm looking for you to take revenge!" Xu Dayan scolded with a smile, and bent the bow again, but the black eagle on his head did not wait for the feather arrow to be stable, and had already soared three hundred steps away.

At a height of three hundred steps, even if the adoptive uncle is resurrected, there is nothing to be done. Li Xu and Xu Dayan smiled bitterly at each other, and instigated the war horse to continue to escape. Just after rounding the small hill in front of me, the southern wilderness was blocked by a few puffs of smoke.

"It's Ashina Choyu's people, their way south is more familiar than ours!" Xu Dayan analyzed in a low voice. Ashina Qiyu seemed to be really angry, and the evening breeze blowing in the distance carried a strong smell of burnt wool. Needless to say, it must have been the Turkic warriors who came to pursue the innocents, and took out all their anger at the destruction of the camp on the scattered herdsmen nearby.

Judging from the direction of the fireworks, the way south must have been cut off. Although the martial arts skills of Xu Dayan and Li Xu are not weak, neither of them has the ability to fight ten or hundred. I had no choice but to stick to the hilly area and hurry east. I just hope that the sun will set sooner and avoid the damn black eagle overhead. Kankan ran for another twenty miles, but the ground under his feet slowly shook.

"Boom!" The thunderous sound of horses' hooves came from the treetops, shaking the surrounding hillsides. The chirping of the black eagle above became more and more cheerful, as if it had killed two prey under its claws. Xu and Li looked up, only to see dust and smoke not far ahead, and they didn't know how many Turkic warriors were rolling by.

"U-turn!" Li Xu and Xu Dayan shouted at the same time, and turned their horses to the west. To the south of this place is the Yanshan and Central Plains, to the east is the Khitan, the Yan and other tribes, but to the west is the Turkic world. In the panic, the two of them couldn't take care of it, and desperately slapped their mounts and ran wildly. Running, running, but found that in the east, south, and north directions, there were smoke and dust gathering towards the place where the eagle shadow was.

"Why didn't you burn this flat-haired beast to death last night!" Li Xu said with annoyance. There had been some mercy that the fire was so great that many innocent Turks starved this winter. At the moment, I only hope that last night's fire is as big as possible, and it is best to burn Ashina but Yu can't get enough war horses, so that his Xu Dayan will have a chance to get rid of the pursuers.

The truth was exactly what he expected, and more and more smoke and dust rose from the left and right sides. In addition to the sound of horses' hooves, the horns of the Turks could already be heard. Almost the entire grassland was mobilized, wave after wave, and smoke and dust continued to join the pursuers.
