Chapter 55: The Horse Thief's Way of Making Friends

Horse thieves in the Western Regions don't make friends when there's a sun.

This is an important rule.

It is said that there was a very famous horse thief who went to see his old friend in the daytime, but was killed by his old friend of the horse thief.

It is said that when he died, the sky and the earth turned dark, the wind and sand were everywhere, the ghosts cried and the wolves howled, and everyone said that the horse thief who was killed by his friends did not look blind.

Therefore, since then, horse thieves have met each other at night, and it must be a moonlit night, and only by standing under the bright moon can they dare to meet each other in the open.

Later, there was a legend that horse thieves were all children of the moon god, and only by gaining her favor could they become the real horse thief king.

When the moon rose, Tie Xinyuan was startled, the round moon that had just climbed up from behind the mountain turned out to be a strange red moon!

However, he quickly figured out the mystery, the humidity in Xijing City was very heavy, and the weather tonight was extremely cold, so the sky was cloudless, and there were still ice chips falling from the sky, and after a while, a thin layer of frost was spread on the ground.

It should be because of the water vapor that created the red moon tonight.

Meng Yuanzhi and Xu Dongsheng's faces were ugly.

They don't have the idea of Iron Heart, the blood moon is a symbol of bad luck. The representative has an unjust case.

There are also foreshadowers of this calamity.

There is also a saying of "seeing the blood moon and demons". It has been recorded in historical miscellaneous records that when the blood moon appears, the country will decline, and the gas will be exhausted, like falling into prison! It is accompanied by calamities, such as famine, war, injustice, evil, etc.

From the I Ching Bagua, the celestial phenomena are an indication that is directly related to the correctness of observing luck, pulses, etc.! It's a bad omen!

The red moon is the most yin and cold, indicating that the world is weak in righteousness, strong in evil, resentful, and strong; The wind and clouds change drastically, and the mountains and rivers are sorrowful; The world is turbulent, and fires are everywhere; Hence the name: "Blood Moon".

Whether it is Meng Yuanzhi or Xu Dongsheng, these two people belong to half-tone literati, they will believe books when they read books, and they will not use their own understanding to explain this phenomenon, and when they see the red moon appearing, they are very worried.

Especially Xu Dongsheng, who is not only greedy for money, but also extremely superstitious in blood, is now almost kneeling and kowtowing to worship the moon.

"When the frost in the sky is clear, the moon will turn white, so there's no need to make a fuss."

Xu Dongsheng turned his head sharply and looked at Tie Xinyuan and said: "When you killed the owner of that weapon shop in Shazhou, it was the red moon, I remember very clearly, at that time, the arrows were like flying locusts, and those Tubo people died very miserably, and there was a red moon on our heads."

You're not going to want to kill the horse thieves tonight, are you? If we do that, we will have absolutely no way to survive. ”

Xu Dongsheng's sad and indignant words made Meng Yuanzhi look at Tie Xinyuan suspiciously, and he also felt that killing these horse thief leaders here was indeed a bit shocking, and it would attract the Khitans to hunt him down.

Caught by others, Tie Xinyuan laughed dryly and said, "I just want to get all the horse thieves here on our ship, and I don't want to kill anyone." ”

Xu Dongsheng looked at Tie Xinyuan and said, "Really? ”

Tie Xinyuan had no choice but to raise his hand and swear: "Really, don't believe it, let's drink wine with the horse thief for a while, and when the frost flowers fall, the moon will definitely turn white, at most an hour, don't lie to you!" You see, the leader of the horse thieves is coming, go and say hello. ”

The name of Yiyun was very large, except for the two horse thieves who had been kidnapped, the rest of the horse thief leaders came worriedly.

They were very well prepared, not only did they bring their own wine and meat, but each of them brought six fierce and heavily armed horse thieves.

More than two dozen horse thief leaders brought as many warriors as Iron Heart Source's subordinates, and it seemed that these people were very vigilant.

A stout horse thief saluted Xu Dongsheng's chest and said, "Xiongling Doyle salutes you, my honorable lord. ”

Xu Dongsheng laughed and said: "Those who can come here are heroes and heroes in the grassland, Gobi, and desert.

Ichimo felt that we should create an opportunity for the warriors here to sit down and talk about the possibility of cooperation and alliances.

For a long time, the biggest reason why we have been called rogues by others is that we are not united, and our forces are too scattered, which gives those Bayi masters a chance to break through.

If we can form an alliance, whether it is the steppe or the Gobi Desert, we will have room to speak. ”

Doyle glanced at the blood moon in the sky worriedly, shook his head, and said, "The day when the blood moon appears is the time of the devil.

It is not appropriate to talk about alliances or alliances at this time, and if you want to, we can wait until the blood moon is over. ”

Xu Dongsheng pretended not to care and glanced at the red moon that was still hanging on the top of the mountain and said with a smile: "In one more hour, the blood moon will disappear, and the moon god will re-reveal his true face, don't worry." ”

Another horse thief leader with a leopard's head and a beard covering his entire face said suspiciously, "You said the blood moon will disappear soon?" ”

Xu Dongsheng said without hesitation: "This is natural, our Taliban has calculated the time of the disappearance of this blood moon, and there will be no mistake."

You must know that the Taliban are the ones who learn from Lord Musin, the King of Wisdom. ”

Seeing that Xu Dongsheng had betrayed himself without hesitation, Tie Xinyuan sighed and had no choice but to stand up, and saluted the chest of the surrounding horse thief leaders: "The devil's victory is always short and futile.

If you look at the snowflakes falling in the clear sky, it is actually the moon god washing the stains on the surface of the moon, and when the snowflakes fall, the moon will turn white again, and it will still be the holy abode of the moon. ”

Tie Xinyuan, who was draped in black hair, was wrapped in a black bear skin, and his face was as holy as the bright moon in the sky.

Regardless of whether he said it or not, at least the beautiful appearance that was rare in the group of horse thieves made those horse thieves believe his words for three points.

Xu Dongsheng saw that Tie Xinyuan was dragged out by himself, he was in a good mood, and laughed heroically: "The mutton has been roasted, the pilaf has been cooked, and the mellow grapes are the best to drink in such a cold weather."

Come, come, come, let me see the heroes everywhere! ”

Doyle seemed to be the leader of this group of people who were temporarily elected, and laughed when he heard this: "Your Excellency has come from afar, how can you entertain us rough people, Doyle specially brought the specialty of Bear Ridge, and today let me Doyle come to roast a camel for everyone." ”

The other leader of the horse thieves also smiled and said: "I recently got a batch of Khitan famous wine pear blossom white, in such weather, it is the best thing to drink it warm, come on, bring the wine up." ”

With the shouting of a group of horse thief leaders, a large group of people walked in from outside the fence, some carrying camels that were about to be roasted, some pulling wine in carts, and even more than a dozen beautiful singers, holding various musical instruments into the fence, which immediately eclipsed the roasted whole sheep prepared by Tie Xinyuan.

At this time, I saw that Xu Dongsheng's role was coming, and this guy was not at all ashamed that the things he prepared were not as good as others.

Haha laughed and tore a strip of meat from an uncooked camel and stuffed it in his mouth, then gave Doyle a thumbs up.

Then he took down a jar of pear blossoms from the carriage regardless of it, and after raising his head and drinking half of the jar, he roared angrily, "Good!" ”

The last point was unreasonable to find the most beautiful one from the singer group, hugged it in his arms, reached into the singer's arms with one hand and grabbed it indiscriminately, while raising a glass and heroically inviting everyone to have a toast!

At this moment, this guy seems to have really become a cloud of dominance, and even these very worried horse thief leaders seem to have become his guests and friends at this moment, and they are accepting his banquet.

After drinking a round of wine, Doyle said with a smile: "The reputation of Lord Yun, even if a certain family is on the grassland, it is like thunder, but I don't know if my lord can let me wait to see your famous martial arts!" ”

Xu Dongsheng reached out and touched the scar on his face, as if recalling his past feats, but in the end, he weakly beat his knees and smiled bitterly: "I'm old, I don't talk about martial arts anymore."

Now not only can't you ride a war horse, but even a rouge horse like this in front of you can't ride it. ”

When he said this, he deliberately slapped the beautiful singer on the buttocks, and the singer screamed, causing countless horse thieves to laugh.

Waiting for the horse thief's laughter to end, Xu Dongsheng took out a glass bead from his arms, held it in the palm of his hand and said: "I'm old, but the children under my command are still young, Iron Mask, you come out to meet the heroes and heroes here, if the performance is not too bad, this bead will be rewarded to you."

Of course, if you are defeated by the hero here, the bead goes to the winner, and you will be punished! ”

Looking at the starlight bead that Xu Dongsheng held in his palm, which was as bright as starlight by the firelight, all the horse thief leaders held their breath, looked at the bead greedily, and saw that a cloud did not seem to be joking, and they began to look for their own fierce generals to compete for treasures.

The stewed mutton in the belly of the roasted camel tasted really delicious, Tie Xinyuan and Meng Yuanzhi ate a mouthful of oil, coupled with the long-famous pear blossom white, the two of them didn't care what others were doing.

Meng Yuanzhi suddenly heard his nickname Tie Mian, and then heard Xu Dongsheng's lofty words, hatefully threw away the sheep bones in his hand, and whispered to Tie Xinyuan: "Let him be rampant now, after the people leave, Lao Tzu must remove one of his arms, let him humiliate Lao Tzu so much." ”

Tie Xinyuan took a sip of pear blossom white and said with a smile: "Go back to Qingxiang Valley and settle accounts with him, now he is doing business, for the sake of him who has been a slave in Chew Mo City for more than half a year, and let him be proud!" ”

Meng Yuanzhi nodded, and tore off the sackcloth on his face that was harmful to eating, and the colorful iron mask on his face seemed to come alive in the light of the firelight.

Striding to the middle of the field, he shouted, "Who is going to fight me?" (To be continued.) )
