Chapter 147: Traveling West

Lu Shanglou said, "Actually, I have already told the Great Khan last time, but now that Xie Guang is by Princess Siqing's side, and I am afraid that this plan will have to change tricks." While walking, the two of them discussed the major affairs in the army from the beginning, and they actually had the feeling of seeing each other late.

By the time it was dark, Heda's party had reached the foot of Mount Bogda. Standing here, you can see the white snow-capped tops in the distance, but below the mountainside are green trees and birds.

The sentry horses sent out to keep an eye on the camp returned and said that Simo's headquarters was stationed in the mountains in the northeastern part of the steppe. It seems that Simo's calculation is roughly the same as his own, first stabilize the rear to ensure that nothing is lost, and then turn the vast grassland in the middle of the country into the final showdown between the two.

Lu Shanglou offered advice to Heida, and selected 2,000 light cavalry from Heida's 10,000 elite soldiers, preparing to make a surprise attack on Simo's garrison after dark.

Most of the rest of the men and horses were at the mercy of the favorable terrain according to the trend of the valley. Then send 3,000 cavalry to guard outside the valley, one can gallop to help the sneak attack, and the other can defend the brigade in the valley.

Siqing has always followed Xie Guang, and along the way, Xie Guang once said to her, "Princess, you and my sister are both tall people in the house, so I won't call you a princess, just call you a sister." You don't have to go with me and find a way to escape. This is the time when they see that you can see loosely, and when they change the rules, you will never be able to walk again. ”

Siqing knew Xie Guang's kindness, she didn't think about escaping first, and then coming back to find someone to save Xie Guang. But she knew that she was gone, and with Heida's temper, she was afraid that Xie Guang wouldn't even survive for half a moment.

Hearing Xie Guang put his safety in front of him like this, Siqing couldn't help but be greatly moved in her heart, and her original thoughts were also eliminated. Sometimes things involving people are like this, and good thoughts often save their lives first before they know it. If Xie Guang was still as selfish as before, Siqing would have walked lightly.

Siqing didn't leave. Xie Guang has become a useful person in Heida's eyes, and he is no longer a dispensable person. Everyone knows that betting on a powerless Xie Guang is a hundred times stronger than watching a princess who has good skills, Heida cares about it incomparably, and if she hurts herself, she may die.

Therefore, the sergeants who escorted them usually only used big words to scare Xie Guang to make him honest, but they never used their fists and feet ruthlessly, and they were not so harsh on eating and drinking during the day. In this way, the two of them followed Heda's brigade to the west.

Heida still has some experience in marching and arranging, and in the northern foot of Bogda Mountain, there are indispensable places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and 20,000 or 30,000 horses are pierced into it, and people can't find it at all if they don't get close.

Heida set up the camp, especially Siqing's tent not far from his tent. He also prepared a small tent for Xie Guang, not far from Siqing's tent. But Xie Guang said that he would not go to live in anything, and still spread a blanket in Siqing's tent door at night for the night.

Siqing originally had a bad opinion of the Xie brothers, not to mention that the two brothers were generally lazy, and they forgot about the "old Xie family" that they talked about on weekdays for the sake of two small money, and only thought of themselves when they did things, and even their own sister could ignore it.

But in the past two days, Siqing saw that Xie Guang was no longer the person she was familiar with, righteous and fearless. It's a bit of a big man. Could it be that a person can change so much? Xie Guang, who had never seen blood, dared to take a knife and say no to Heida.

On the contrary, it was this Lu Mu Supervisor, it turned out that he gave Si Qing the impression that he was at least an elder with some self-cultivation. has been in officialdom for a long time, knows books and etiquette, why don't you become a pastoral supervisor is this virtue. The night before, she obviously heard that the person surnamed Lu was giving Heida a bad idea, and twice she wanted to leave Xie Guang and secretly escape for her life. If Xie Guang had been replaced by Lu Shanglou, Siqing would have run away a long time ago.

saw Xie Guang laying a blanket on the ground in the tent at night, and this blanket was only small enough for Xie Guang to be tired on it. In the first half of the night, Siqing woke up twice and saw Xie Guang sitting on the blanket with his head down and napping.

In the second half of the night, Siqing woke up again and saw him tired on the blanket, his legs stretched to the ground, and the whole person was lying across the tent. Siqing's heart was hot again, he was protecting himself, like a big brother. Last time, Heida snatched the knife from Xie Guang's hand as easily as playing, Siqing knew that Xie Guang's move was more symbolic than practical, but she really had a sense of steadiness.

Heida is busy working for a while, so he has no chance to harass Siqing again. Xie Guang was sitting in Siqing's tent, and there was a sergeant outside the tent outside the tent, and he came in and waved at Xie Guang.

Xie Guang didn't know what he meant, and whispered to Siqing before getting up and going out, "If you have a chance, you can run quickly, I'm a big man, what can he do to me." When you leave, I'll give them firewood and make a fire, and it's better than killing me. Then he went out.

I have to say that there is some truth in Xie Guang's words. But Siqing had already seen the terrain clearly when she entered the valley, she had to go, it would not work to go out from the valley, there was at least one team of Heida behind each hill, and I am afraid that Gao Jun would not be able to fight hard like this.

She stepped out of her tent and pretended to look at the mountain scenery into the valley. The sergeant guarding her did not dare to attack her, but it was evident that he had raised his guard. Siqing entered the tent, took the little girl out for a while, and walked to the back of the tent, behind the tent was a bush, and behind the bush was a steep cliff.

The sergeant who was watching here immediately followed, "Princess, where are you going," Siqing said, "Where can I go?" The sergeant was inconvenient to ask Siqing in detail, and hurled at the little girl.

The little girl said, "The princess said it's convenient to go, can I follow?" ”

The sergeants had to follow at a distance, and walked a few dozen steps deeper into the woods, and saw that the girl stood still, but the princess could not see a shadow. One of the sergeants said, "Don't let the princess run away again, how can we explain?" ”

Another said, "If you have the guts, take a look." The man's head shook like a rattle, "I want to live two more days!" A few people were worried, so Feng Siqing and the girl came out of the bushes.

Xie Guang followed a sergeant around a dozen tents and stopped in front of one of them, "Let's go in." ”

Xie Guang was full of suspicions, not knowing what was going on. As soon as I lifted the curtain and entered, I first saw two women in Hufu, who were standing beside a person sitting with their backs to the tent, and one of them was fiddling with a dozen iron skewers of mutton on a charcoal basin on a large table, the meat had been roasted to the point of oil, and a tempting fragrance reached the nostrils. Another woman was pouring wine for the man with a tin jug.

Xie Guang couldn't recognize who the person was from the back for a while, and the person didn't look back, "Come on, don't sit down yet, the meat is roasted for you." Xie Guang heard that it was Lu Shanglou. Lu Shanglou changed into a new robe, his face was very clean, and he was drinking a glass of wine.

Xie Guang didn't speak, first grabbed two meat skewers, and then picked up the wine glass, I don't know whether to eat meat or drink first, and asked Lu Shanglou with his hand raised, "Do you recognize the thief as your father?" (To be continued.) )
