Chapter 193: Into the Prairie

After resting and feeding the horse grass and water, Xu Qing stepped on the horse again. When I walked for a short time, I listened to a few cars in front of me, but when I saw the four riders coming, I said, "General Li, the sackcloth has been bought!" ”

Li Yu nodded and said, "Everyone, take a piece of linen cloth and put it on yourself, and the horse should be put on it in addition to its eyes." ”

Xu Qing took the lead, took one, and with a casual stroke of the knife, a rectangular cloth came out. I poked a hole in the middle and covered it directly on my head, and here it was a simple straight-cut dress. Then he tore a strip of white cloth and tied it around his waist. From the strip of white cloth downwards, a long linen cloth hung down to the knees. Xu Qing did not plan to lay off. Instead, he tore out some strips of white cloth and covered them directly on his calves.

At the beginning, Xue Rengui saw it and learned from Xu Qing to do this. When he tied his first leg, he cheered, "Wow, it feels like my legs are strong when I tie it like this." ”

When the others saw it, they learned it too. Xu Qing made a hat to cover his armor, and the rest of the cloth covered the horse. In this way, when Xu Qing rode a horse, except for his face, horse eyes, and horse hooves that appeared from time to time, everything else was white.

In half an hour, everyone was done. Xu Qing said to them, "By this time tomorrow, we will be in Xue Yantuo's territory. You may be killed at any time, the big guy has thought about it now, if you are afraid of death, I won't drag you down, you can go. ”

Xu Qing's words were loud, but everyone present chose to be silent. Xu Qing smiled and said, "Okay, then General Li will tell you the plan for the reconnaissance." ”

Li Yu ordered that from now on, all the 551 teams will disperse to explore the enemy situation around Baima Mountain, and after three days, no matter whether there is a harvest or not, they will go to a slope outside Baima Mountain to round. I don't know how Li Yuan made this dragon guard remember the map, anyway, they all said, "Oh! ”

Then, the crowd dispersed, and a team of five walked towards the depths of the grassland.

Xu Qing, Xue Rengui, Li Yu, and the other five dragon guards, a total of five groups, set off last. All the way north, without entering any villages, without walking on any roads where there may be people. It's just that Li Yu wondered why every time he walked a section of the road and reached a mountain, Xu Qing took out a bamboo tube and looked into the distance. As soon as Li Yu asked, Xu Qing said that this was a secret and did not mention it.

Fortunately, Xu Qing had the name of foresight and let everyone change into white linen. I didn't think it was thirty miles away just now, because the snow on the road had exposed the yellow soil, and when I reached ten miles north of Yingzhou, the snow on the road was a foot thick. It may be because there are more pedestrians in the south of Yingzhou, and fewer pedestrians in the north.

Stepping on the snow, Xu Qing and his party disappeared into the snow like white ghosts, leaving shallow horse's hooves and short-lived horses' hooves.

Not only did the snow hide the crowd's tracks, but it also hid the voices of the crowd due to the snow's many holes. The snow is deep and the horse can't run, and the white cloth prepared by Xu Qing and others played a role in protecting the horse's hooves at this time. Even if there was protection, Xu Qing and the others were leading the horses.

In the evening, the snow was swept away and I stayed up all night. In the early morning of the next day, Xu Qing suddenly found that he was lying alone in the snow, and he didn't know where the others had gone.

", what's going on...... " Xu Qing looked around, his things were still there, but the others were gone, and Xue Rengui was lying on the ground and hadn't woken up yet. Xu Qing shook him awake, he rubbed his eyes, looked around and said, "Brother Li, what about them?" ”

Xu Qing brought the horse to him, found a place, and was about to check the surroundings, but saw two guys with felt hats and riding grassland horses coming over from a distance. Xue Rengui didn't know what to do, and pointed, "Who is that?" ”

Xu Qing scolded in his heart, how did he bring this kid and press his head down, but things were not as easy as Xu Qing thought, and the two grassland people saw them!

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves approaching, Xu Qing said to Xue Rengui in a low voice: "Wait a minute, listen to my slogan, draw your sword and kill the enemy." ”

"What? Fight the enemy? ”

"That's right, it's Xue Yantuo who came, and if they are not good, they will kill Han people."

"No, it won't, we're hiding it so ......"

Xue Rengui looked at himself, and under the white linen cloth was the armor and horizontal knife, where did he look like a businessman who stole over, a typical spy. He swallowed, scared. No matter how powerful Xue Rengui is in the future, he is still a twelve-year-old boy now.

Just as he was thinking about it, the two prairie people had already reached three or five feet away. The first one was too burly, he pointed at Xu Qing and yelled a bunch of babbling. Xu Qing's hand had already grasped the handle of the gun in his sleeve, just waiting for the grassland man to get closer.

The man next to him spoke, "My master asks, 'Who are you?' What to do at my site? This is supposed to be a translator, usually a captured Han Chinese, who learned Turkic and therefore acted as an interpreter for some nomadic nobles.

Xue Rengui was anxious and lied: "We are merchants, and we go to the grassland to sell things. ”

The steppe man spoke again, and raised the knife in his hand. Xu Qing was patient, he wanted to know what the grassland people said, and whether he could take the opportunity to set up the location of the travel account.

The interpreter explained: "You have stolen my master's horse, and now you will be punished as my slaves, or I will kill you!" ”

Xu Qing was surprised: "Where did we steal your horse?" It's our own. ”

"Everything on my territory is mine," at this time, the burly steppe man said in a stiff Chinese language: "You, I will duel with you!" ”

Before Xu Qing could come back to his senses, the burly man grabbed the horse's belly and ran over with a knife. Xu Qing's eyes lit up, and he said to Xue Rengui in a low voice: "You go and catch the person in the back, and I'll deal with him." ”

The grassland horse came over like the wind, Xu Qing pushed Xue Rengui away, and he also used this strength to roll. The grassland man didn't hit it with a knife, and was about to turn back and cut again, but Xu Qing decisively took out his gun, "Bang!" In the face of the steppe man. gun, rolled off the horse's back on his back.

On the snow, there is a red color. And Xue Rengui has not come back to his senses yet, although the knife has been pulled out, but the person is still stunned. Xu Qing drank a sentence, and Xue Rengui looked at Xu Qing and cried instead. The interpreter turned the horse's head and was about to run away, when Xu Qing took out the nomadic bow on the steppe man's horse.

Shooting with a bow, although Xu Qing is not very good at it, it is not that he can't. The bowstring sounded, and the interpreter fell to the snow. And the steppe horse did not leave, but stayed where it was and did not go. Xu Qing pulled out his knife, ran forward, and knocked him unconscious with a single hilt.

When he returned to Xue Rengui, he saw that he was still crying, and Xu Qing scolded: "Soft egg! Kill that steppe man! ”

The steppe man who was shot was not dead, but was struggling to get up.
