There is never a shortage of words to describe the grassland. But when you ride slowly on the grassland, you realize that all words can't describe what if.

It is like a huge green carpet, pouring from the edge of the sky to the corner of the earth, and then covering the whole earth, the white clouds in the sky are the daisies that adorn the carpet, and the rivers that flow vertically and horizontally are the silver threads that weave the carpet. Although Zhao Yong had been here before, now, he had returned to two thousand years ago and set foot on this land again. Now, he is called the Gate of Infinity, and at that time, his name was Zhang Bei.

"Your Majesty, we are still about ten miles away from Captain Niu Qiandu's camp, do you want to inform him to prepare for it first?" Li Zhuo rode to Zhao Yong and informed.

"No need, it's rare to have such a beautiful scenery, Niu Jian Duwei and they are used to appreciating it, so let me enjoy it alone." Zhao Yong said humorously.

It's been about five days since I left Daiwang City. At Zhao Yong's insistence, Zhao Gu and the others had to watch him go north, through the area that was easily harassed by Lin Hu, to the northernmost point of the Zhao State, that is, the Gate of Infinity. There, Zhao Yong would turn west, along the border of Zhao and Wei, back to Handan. After such a circle, Zhao Yong can be regarded as having a general understanding of Zhao Guo, which is more effective than his lifetime in the royal city.

"Qiu Li, I heard it alone, the Huns have good songs and good wine, I don't know if that's the case?" Zhao Yong saw the beautiful scenery on the grassland, remembered that there was a Hun beside him, and couldn't help but ask him about some Hun habits.

"The Huns were good at wine, especially spirits. In the Central Plains, there are mostly some fruit wine rice wines, although they are not in line with the taste, but they are better than nothing. After the drink, the spirit is high and the dancing is fun. As the king said, it is true. Qiu Liquid finally followed Zhao Yong and left Daiwang City. Zhao Yong incorporated him into his Baijin Battalion, which can be regarded as finding the first Hu instructor for the Baijin Battalion. And Qiu Ye was even more surprised, he didn't expect that Zhao Guo still hid such a cavalry unit. And equipment such as stirrups and saddles make him even more powerful. Even Li Zhuo is difficult to compare with him. So he obediently left Daiwangcheng and followed Zhao Yong back to Handan.

"Lone has heard a ballad on a plugged house, I wonder if you have heard it?"

"Your Excellency might as well talk about it."

"There is a folk song saying: Elechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. Zhao Yong remembered the popular Yuefu poem and couldn't help but say.

Who knew that Qiu Ye thought about it for a long time, but still shook his head and said: "We were born in the Huns, and we have also stayed in Linhu for a while, but we have never heard this ballad. But judging from the words, it should be the folk song of which tribe in the Linhu area. Maybe we haven't been there before, after all, Lin Hu is quite big. However, how did you know? ”

How could Zhao Yong tell him that this was something that even a five-year-old child would have when he crossed over. So he only said that he had heard about it from the countryside, and he stopped talking. lest they hear the flaws. I'm afraid Zhao Yong himself doesn't know that when this Yuefu was circulated, it was already a hundred years later, and Qiu Li knew that there were ghosts. Unless he's also cross-traveling.

However, although this ballad is simple, it breaks the living habits of the Hu people, which is to live in the grass and be erratic. Moreover, what they care about most is actually their cattle and sheep. If you want to defeat the Hu people, it is not without a trace. Li Zhuo interjected. He has now become a grassroots officer, thinking about the war all day long, and he doesn't even care about his marriage. This time, when he returned to Daiwangcheng, he was nagged by Li's mother for half a night, and he was spared under Zhao Yong's words.

"Survival is a major event in the growth of all things, and Zhao people and Hu people are no exception." Zhao Yong tugged on the reins and slowed down his dark horse. "In fact, the Hu people plundered the property of my Zhao country, also for themselves. It's as if we were preparing to expel them, and it was also for ourselves. Such a cycle of heavenly dao is the reason for the continuous grievances between the Zhao and Hu clans. ”

When Pang Nuan heard this, he said in his heart: "Your Excellency's words remind me of a sentence that the master said, he said, 'The saint donates things, follows reason and gives up, everyone is in the domain, forced by lust, small knowledge and tendency, likes and dislikes are fearful, boasting about the right to die, self-esteem and tolerance, the nobleman favors fame, greedy for money, does not give to Bo, knows what is ashamed, is not vulgar, virtuous and contentious, is suspicious, it is enough to doubt, it is enough to get it, and it is full of praise, a thousand words, what is the reward." ’”

"It seems that the master really didn't teach you in vain." Zhao Yong said, "The so-called world exchanges are all for profit. The master said this very thoroughly, it is precisely because of interests that there are all kinds of problems in the world. It's like the Hu people and the Zhao people. ”

"Listening to the meaning of the king, it seems that the Hu people are not evil?" Qiu Liquid asked cautiously.

"At this point, Lone doesn't dare to say, because Lone is the king of Zhao State." Zhao Yong paused, "However, Gu thinks that if Sanhu is willing to cooperate with Zhao Guo, it would be a good idea." ”

When everyone heard this, except for Qiu Li, their expressions were very strange. Li Zhuo was out of the side, and was educated to expel the Hu people and defend the Zhao State since he was a child; Although Pang Nuan was still young, he also knew that Zhao was often harassed by the Hu people, and the two clans were almost enemies of life and death. But listening to Zhao Yong's meaning, he was not ready to eliminate Sanhu, how could he not surprise them?

And Qiu Liquid was overjoyed, although he was just a slave of the Huns, but it could not change his true colors as a Huns. If Zhao and Xiongnu can coexist peacefully, he will of course be the happiest. I just don't know that Zhao Yong's words have several layers of credibility.

"By the way, where is that Qiu Linyue?" Zhao Yong said.

"Obey the arrangement of the king, and serve delicious food and drink in the back." Li Zhuo said helplessly.

It is said that that night, Li Yan arranged many archers to surround the entire study, as long as Lin Yue dared to leave the roof, her death time would come. And Lin Yue quickly keenly found that he was surrounded. I wanted to break through, but she was an archer, and she couldn't fly away even if she had wings. In desperation, he had to take a risk, but when he left from the roof, he was shot by a bow and arrow and was unconscious for several days. After waking up, everyone knew that she was a Hu person, her real name was Qiu Linyue, and she was the second of the Qiu Lin clan of the Xiongnu clan, that is, the princess.

The Qiulin clan was a big surname among the Xiongnu, and it was also one of the few clans in the Xiongnu that had the right to decide. Qiu Lin Yue is the daughter of the current clan patriarch Qiu Lin Muren. Because he didn't want to marry Baleng, the son of the patriarch of the Huyan clan, he escaped from the Xiongnu. originally wanted to steal information from Zhao State and return to the clan to show off, in order to get rid of the fate of marrying Baleng, who would have thought that he was caught by Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong looked at Lin Yue standing in front of her, to be honest, she was also a beauty. It's just that this kind of beauty is mixed with the wind and frost and pride of the north, not like the softness and delicate of the Central Plains, but it also has a different taste.

Zhao Yong looked at her frosty face and couldn't help laughing. In order to force her to reveal her identity, Zhao Yong ordered Lin Yue to be locked up in a completely black room, although the food was served on time, no one spoke to her, and within three days, this Hun had to confess. It really opened the eyes of Li Zhuo and others.

Zhao Yong stepped off the horse, stood in front of her, looked at Lin Yue, who was as cold as frost, and said with a smile: "It's lonely to let Ju Ci suffer this time." Lone here, apologized to Juji. As he spoke, he really saluted Lin Yue.

Everyone couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zhao Yong was selling in the gourd, but fortunately, there were many unbelievable things for him, and Li Zhuo and Pang Nuan were not surprised. Only Qiu Li, watching Zhao Yongken put down his body and apologize to Lin Yue, he had more respect for him in his heart.

Lin Yue was also startled, she thought that she would be abused to death by Zhao Yong, but she didn't expect to be treated by the guests instead, and Zhao Yong also apologized to herself personally, making her involuntarily take a step back, and asked suspiciously: "Hmph!" If you want to kill or chop, start quickly, don't be fake! "With one mouth, all the weakness of the heart is undoubtedly exposed.

Zhao Yong came to the Warring States Period, saw Wen Ji's charming, and also experienced the heroism and pungency of Yan Zhao's children, and saw a Xiongnu princess today, I thought it was a fierce horse, but now it seems that the girl is more angry.

"Juji misunderstood. Lone will not be rude to the princess. It's just that when I get here, I should say goodbye to Juji. So saying, he led his horse. This is a black steed that Zhao Yong rode all the way from Handan, produced in Daijun, and is a divine steed in itself. This time, he was going to give it to Lin Yue.

Everyone was surprised, and was about to step forward to dissuade them, but saw Zhao Yong wave his hand to stop everyone from moving forward. Lin Yue looked at the indignant Li Zhuo and the others, and then at Zhao Yong, who was smiling, and after thinking for a long time, she still didn't dare to ask uncertainly: "Do you really want to give me this horse?" Aren't you going to blackmail my father? ”

"If I do, he won't give me much benefit, right?" Zhao Yong said with a smile.

"Don't need me to be your slave?"

"I'm worried that one day you will get angry and assassinate me, and it will be more than worth the loss."

"Can you kill me?"

"Haha, I'm not that kind of person." Zhao Yong said with a laugh. Lin Yue is only fifteen or sixteen years old, talking and doing things, and she is really still a child.

"Then I'm leaving." Lin Yue said, took the dark horse, turned around and was about to leave. The steppe people have a natural resonance for horses, and this resonance allows them to regard any horse as their own life. In the same way, horses can also feel their care and unconsciously get close to them. So Lin Yue touched the nose of the black horse, and the black horse obediently let her ride on herself.

"Wait." Zhao Yong suddenly shouted.

"Regret it?" She reverted to that cold tone, as if she had expected it.

"Not really." Zhao Yong said, taking a pocket from Li Zhuo immediately, "This is rations and drinking water, I hope it will be precious." ”

This time, Lin Yue really believed that Zhao Yong was going to let him go. After thinking for a while, he said, "You are really different." Then he turned decisively and left them. Halfway through the journey, she glanced back and wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth for a long time. Then we continued to the north.

"Your Excellency pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, we can't wait for the horse." Li Zhuo looked at the back of Lin Yue leaving, and couldn't help but say.

"Haha, don't worry. After walking for a month, the one who came back might be a whole tribe. Zhao Yong said confidently. If you don't believe it, just wait. ”

Everyone didn't understand what Zhao Yong meant, and just wanted to ask, but saw that he had led Li Zhuo's horse and left first, leaving only Li Zhuo, Pang Nuan and Qiu Li, who were puzzled in place.

"What do you mean?" Li Zhuo stabbed Pang Nuan beside him and asked.

"I don't know." Pang Nuan replied honestly.

"You know what?" Li Zhuo poked the Qiu liquid beside him again.

"I don't know, but your lordship, it seems that you have a plan." Qiu Liquid also replied.

"Really, it's incomprehensible to say this kind of hidden thing every time." Li said discouragedly.

"Don't think about it, hurry up and catch up with the king, just want to know and ask." Qiu Ye said, patting the horse and chasing Zhao Yong.

Seeing this, Pang Nuan also stepped on his horse with Li Zhuo and chased away.

The prairie has returned to its former tranquility.
