This kid is very arrogant! The Qiang people standing in front of Adou suddenly burst out laughing. Then he raised the whip in his hand and whipped it fiercely at Adou.

Adou stretched out his hand, grabbed the horsewhip, and then pulled the Qiang people directly off the horse with a fierce force.

"Oh, boy, that's a lot of strength!" The Qiang rolled on the ground, then got up again, drawing his knife from his waist.

"Smack!" A black shadow swept by, and the Qiang people only felt that their wrists were numb, and then the knife in their hands could not be held, and fell directly to the ground.

The Qiang people turned their heads to look, and now there was an extra whip mark on the wrist, and the hot feeling came from the wrist, and the Qiang people couldn't help grinning, and Adou on the other side was holding the whip in his hand, looking at this side with a smile.

"Lao Tzu killed you!" Annoyed, the Qiang man bent down and prepared to pick up the knife on the ground.

"Smack!" Another whip sounded, this time, in Adou's hand. The whip was slammed into the head of the Qiang people, and it also wrapped around the heads of the Qiang people.

"Get up for me!" Adou strangled the whip, fierce. As soon as he flung it, the Qiang people were immediately carried and flew up, threw out several zhang away, and rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.

The Qiang people grabbed their bodies and got up, and said viciously in their mouths: "Okay. Boy, you dare to fall Lao Tzu, you wait for me! The Qiang man said, turned his head to look at the ragged prisoners behind him, and said, "Boy, obediently tie your hands and arrest them, or Lao Tzu will kill them!" ”

"Hehe, whatever you want, I don't know these people." Adou said and suddenly laughed. got up, at this time, Adou felt that this Qiang man was really stupid and a little cute, just threatened the big man named Yao Chong like this, those ragged prisoners were Yao Chong's family, so Yao Chong didn't dare to resist anymore. And now that Adou is not related to these people, this Qiang person actually threatens Adou with these prisoners, and Adou will naturally not give in.

Hearing Adou say this, this Qiang remembered that Adou was just a. Passers-by didn't know Yao Chong and the others at all, and they threatened Adou with Yao Chong, but it had no effect.

"Humph! Brethren, give it to me. Kill this kid, and I'll invite everyone to drink at night! The Qiang shouted at the Qiang soldiers behind him.

The Qiang people behind him originally saw that Adou was a young man, and they still had the mentality of watching the excitement, but after the fall just now, everyone also saw that Adou was not a powerless person. So more than a dozen Qiang soldiers didn't care about the prisoners, and rushed up to Adou.

Seeing more than a dozen Qiang people all rushing up, the big man named Yao Chong suddenly brightened up, only to see Yao Chong turn over, pick up the knife that had just fallen from the Qiang people from the ground, and at the same time wrap the iron chain around his waist with his other hand.

"Give me death!" Yao Chong shouted, then held the knife in both hands and rushed towards the nearest Qiang man.

The Qiang man was riding a horse, while Yao Chong was on foot, but Yao Chong was not afraid at all, and actually collided directly with the horse.

"Bang!" The man and the horse collided together, and to Adou's surprise, it was the horse that fell. Yao Chong, on the other hand, stepped forward and made up for the life of the Qiang knight with one sword.

"That's a lot of strength!" Adou was slightly shocked in his heart. For a person like Adou who cultivates internal strength, it is not difficult to knock off a horse, but for a person without internal strength, just by relying on the strength of the flesh to knock a running horse is enough to be called divine power.

"What a wrestler, I can't imagine that there is such a wrestler among the Qiang people, it seems that these alien races are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers!" Adou sighed lightly.

"Give me death!" Yao Chong grabbed a Qiang man on a horse, and with a fierce force, he directly threw the Qiang man to the ground, while the other hand took advantage of the situation to strangle the reins of the horse, and then jumped on the horse.

"It's not good, stop Yao Chong! Take control of Yao Chong's family! At this time, the Qiang cavalry also realized the seriousness of the matter, and several Qiang people rushed forward to stop Yao Chong, while two Qiang soldiers began to run backwards, preparing to kidnap Yao Chong's people again.

"Don't want to leave!" Yao Chong picked up the bow and arrow hanging on his horse, and then bent his bow and arrows extremely quickly, and two sharp arrows slashed, and the two Qiang soldiers who rushed towards Yao Chong's family were immediately shot to the ground.

"It's over!" This thought flashed through the minds of the other Qiang people at the same time, not to mention that there were only a dozen people here, even if there were hundreds of people, they were not Yao Chong's opponents.

"Give me death!" Yao Chong shouted, and the sound spread for several miles, and then Yao Chong waved the long knife in his hand and rushed into the ranks of the Qiang cavalry, and after a few moves, only the last two were left among the dozen Qiang people.

"Run!" The last two remaining Qiang people immediately turned their horses around and began to flee one after the other.

"I told you, don't even think about running!" Yao Chong stretched out his hand, picked up a spear stuck in the ground next to him, took a deep breath, and threw the spear violently.

The "......" spear turned into a long rainbow, and with a sound of breaking through the air, it rushed towards the two fleeing Qiang.

"Flutter ......"

"Flutter!"

With two sounds in succession, Adou looked up, and Yao Chong's shot actually penetrated the bodies of the two Qiang people at the same time.

"Huhu ......" Yao Chong gasped slightly, wiped the blood splash on his face with his hand, and then immediately rushed to the side of those clansmen, cutting the ropes that bound the clansmen.

"Patriarch! I'll help you break the chains! A teenager walked up and took a knife and slashed at the chain.

"Boom ......" sparks splashed around, and the young man's hand was directly bounced, but the chain only showed a slight trace.

"Hahaha, Xiaogu, you are still young and your strength is not enough, give me the knife, I'll do it myself!" Yao Chong said as he took the long knife, and then slashed towards the interface of the chain.

There was a crisp sound of "......", this time Yao Chong's hand was not bounced, but the chain was still not broken.

"Huh!" Yao Chong looked at the knife in his hand, only to see that the blade had been rolled.

"This chain is so hard!" Dahan looked at the knife in his hand that had been curled up, and sighed helplessly.

"You want me to come!" Adou's voice sounded from the front.

Yao Chong raised his head, looked at Adou, and said with some incredulity: "This iron chain is not made of ordinary materials, it seems that the cultivation needs a divine weapon to cut it, little brother, you have a divine weapon there." ”

"Hehehe, Brother Yao, you can rest assured!" Adou walked over with a smile and slowly drew out the Cold Night Sword.

The cold light flashed, and then a crisp voice sounded, and then looked at the iron chain, which had been cut in two.

"What a fast sword!" Yao Chong was slightly stunned, then looked at the neat incision of the chain, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a sharp sword." ”

Yao Chong removed the iron chain on his body, hugged his fist at Adou, and said: "Thank you for this little brother's help, if it weren't for the little brother, my clan and I would probably be under the control of these thieves." In Xia Yao Chong, he will report the little brother's great kindness today. ”

"Hehehe, Brother Yao, you are a Qiang person, right?" Adou asked.

"Yes, I'm a Qiang." Yao Chong nodded.

"Brother Yao, I just saw that the people who trapped you are also Qiang, why is that?" Adou then asked.

"Here's the thing." Yao Chong pointed to the corpses of the Qiang people on the ground and said, "They are Cherrigian's people. ”

Yao Chong told Adou all the causes and consequences, and it took half an hour to finish telling the story.

It turned out that Yao Chong was also a big leader of the Qiang people, managing the three hundred large and small tribes in the westernmost part of the Qiang people.

Yao Chong was born with divine power, he can lift thousands of catties, and with high martial arts, he is known as the first warrior in Qiangxi. At the same time, because Yao Chong is brave, his prestige among the Qiang people is also very high. Three years ago, Yao Chong once beheaded the commander of the driver, so that the driver did not dare to invade Qiangdi, which also made Yao Chong's prestige reach a peak. In the northwest of the Qiang people, the Qiang people only know that there is Yao Chong, but they do not know the Qiang king Cheriji. It is precisely because of this that Cherrigi is very jealous of Yao Chong, for fear that one day Yao Chong will raise the anti-flag and overthrow himself.

This time, Cheriji went to Liangzhou, and also recruited Yao Chong to go with him, so Yao Chong took the elite of the three thousand clans and went to Liangzhou with Cheriji. Cherrigi intended to kill Yao Chong on the battlefield, so every time he attacked, he would order Yao Chong to lead the people to rush to the front, and every time he retreated, Yao Chong was left behind.

In just one month, most of Yao Chong's people were injured, and Yao Chong himself was poked by a horse. At this time, Yao Chong also saw that Cherrigi was using himself as cannon fodder, so he stayed in the camp under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries and refused to fight.

But Cherrigie did not give up, even if Yao Chong was injured, Cherrigi would send people every day to urge Yao Chong to continue to fight, Yao Chong was angry and took people and left the front line.

After Yao Chong left, Cheriji told the other Qiang people that Yao Chong was cowardly, did not listen to orders, and fled from the battle, and then used this as an excuse to order an attack on Yao Chong's tribe.

Yao Chong went out on the expedition and took away the strong men in the clan, and the people left in the clan were all old and weak, and they could not resist the attacks of other Qiang tribes at all. Within a few days, Yao Chong's old camp fell. And when Yao Chong returned to the tribe, the people sent by Cherrigi threatened Yao Chong and the others to lay down their arms with their families.

Seeing that his family was being coerced, the hardcover warriors around Yao Chong had no intention of fighting again, and they all laid down their weapons and surrendered, and even Yao Chong himself was also very cowardly and taken prisoner.

Cheriji's people were ready to escort Yao Chong to Cheriji to ask for merit, but they were afraid of Yao Chong's force, so they specially found a fine iron chain to tie Yao Chong, and then escorted Yao Chong's family on the road together, using Yao Chong's family as a threat to Yao Chong, so that Yao Chong did not dare to act rashly.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet Adou halfway, and the Qiang people saw that Adou was young and thought that Adou was easy to bully, but he was beaten by Adou. The Qiang people rushed up in a hurry, wanting to kill Adou, but they forgot that there was another Yao Chong over there. Without a family member to threaten Yao Chong, Yao Chong suddenly turned into a fierce tiger and killed all the dozen or so people in a blink of an eye.

……

Yao Chong is a warrior, and he also sounds a little prestige among the Qiang people, thinking of this, Adou's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Brother Yao, I don't know what your plans are in the future?" ”

"I'm going to take refuge with my uncle, and he's in Zhangye!" Yao Chong said.

"Frustrated? Sounds like a Hun ......"

"The little brother is right, my uncle is indeed a Huns, but he was driven to the vicinity of Zhangye by the Xianbei people later. My uncle still has 3,000 soldiers in his hands, and he can protect me. Yao Chong said.

"Brother Yao, I have a chance here to get rid of Cherrigie, I wonder if Brother Yao is interested?"

"Get rid of Cherrigie?" Yao Chong was shocked in his heart, and began to look at Ah Dou carefully.

"Brother Yao, I can't hide it, I'm from Chang'an." Adou said.

"Chang'an? You were sent by the emperor of the Han Chinese? Yao Chong asked.

"Well...... Sort of! ”

"I can't see it, I really can't see it, I can't imagine that the person sent by the emperor of the Han people is so young." Yao Chong didn't think about it, and nodded directly: "Okay, my family is ruined by this Cherrigie, as long as I can kill Cherrigi, I will listen to you!" ”

"Okay, let's give a high-five!" Adou said and stretched out his hand.

"Come, high-five!" Yao Chong also stretched out his hand.

After that, Adou took out a copper plate from his arms, raised his sword to split the copper plate in half, handed half of it to Yao Chong, and said at the same time: "Brother Yao, in a few days, someone will naturally come to you with this half of the copper plate, I hope Brother Yao will definitely help me when the time comes!" ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" Yao Chong took the half of the copper plate very simply.

"Then we'll meet later!" Adou slapped his horse and continued to walk forward.

"Okay, we'll see you later!" After Yao Chong finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and then shouted: "Little brother, I don't know what your name is!" ”

"Under the surname Liu ......" Adou's voice came from a distance.

"The surname is Liu...... There are many Han people with the surname Liu, and I remember that the emperor of their Han people is surnamed Liu. Yao Chong muttered to himself.

……

The Di people are separated from the Qiang people, originally the Qiang and Di tribes were originally a family, so the two ethnic groups basically lived together, and slowly the Di people turned into a farming people, and they needed to live stably and cultivate the land, so they gradually formed countless villages. Although the Qiang people also have individual back farming, the vast majority of the Qiang people still rely on nomadic life.

The so-called royal department of the Di people is actually the most concentrated place where the Di people live. It is close to the water source, and has been reclaimed by the Di people to cultivate a piece of land, many Di people live in this vicinity, and the place where the Di king Fu Jian lives is called the Di people's royal department, and countless Di people villages are like stars and moons around the king.

After Fu Jian became the king of Di, he vigorously developed agriculture, so that the population of Di people increased every year. And now, Fu Jian has built a city in this royal department, as the so-called national capital of the Di people, and Fu Jian's own palace is also in this city.

However, in Adou's opinion, this capital of the Di people is a big disappointment, not to mention compared with big cities like Chang'an, Xudu, and Yecheng, even the general county towns in the Central Plains can't be compared.

The low walls were just over a foot long, and the average adult could grab the battlements with a single jump, and the whole wall was made of loess, which felt more like a, and it was the kind of that had no sense of security. The city walls did not have a gatehouse at all, and not even a gate was installed. There is only one open entrance. There are soldiers standing on each side of the entrance, and you don't have to pay any cents to enter the city, you can enter the city if you want.

After entering the city, I looked up and saw that the narrow roads were lined with low mud houses, and in some places I was reluctant to build even earthen houses, but I just made a shelf of wood, and then spread a layer of grass on top to build a simple shed. The pavement has not been repaired, the loess is full of potholes, and Adou has no doubt that if it rains, the road will definitely become muddy and difficult to walk.

"It's shabby!" Adou sighed silently in his heart.

For Adou, the scale of the city during the Three Kingdoms period was already relatively small, and in comparison, the Beijing city of later generations was several times larger than the current Chang'an! And now that he has come to the so-called national capital of the Di people, Adou knows what the real shabby is, in Adou's opinion, this cannot be regarded as a city at all, even the cottage of ordinary bandits is much better than this city!

Seeing such a shabby city, Adou lost the desire to continue visiting, and directly found someone to ask where Pu Lin lived. As a result, when I inquired about Adou, I learned that Pu Lin did not live in this city, but lived in Pu's own tribe sixty miles to the east.

At the same time, Adou also heard another news, that is, there are two people who are most trusted by King Fu Jian, one is Pu Lin, and the other is named Lu Gui. This Lu Gui and Pu Lin can be regarded as Fu Jian's left and right hands, but this Lu Gui and Pu Lin are very discordant, every time Pu Lin says east, Lu Gui must point to the west, and the two always contradict each other.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that this Fu Jian is very familiar with the way of being a king, and knows that Pu Lin and Lu Gui can restrain each other and not give either party a chance to dominate...... It seems that although Fu Jian is a man, he is also very smart. ”

……

Pu Lin has admired the culture of the Han people since he was a child, and he likes to read some Han classics very much.

When Pu Lin was a child, he was sent to Fu Jian as a hostage, and because Pu Lin was well-behaved and liked by Fu Jian, Fu Jian often took Pu Lin with him and raised him as half a son, and it was also because Pu Lin grew up in Fu Fitness, so Fu Jian trusted Pu Lin very much. No matter how big or small, I always discuss with Pu Lin.

Perhaps because of his familiarity with Han books, Pu Lin's style of acting was influenced by Han culture, and he was less reckless than a minority and more strategic. This is an outlier among the Di people. In the eyes of the Di people, if the Han people use stratagems, it is a sign of cunning and treachery, and if they use tricks by the Di people, then they are called wise men, so Pu Lin, who is good at calculation, has become a wise man among the Di people.

Late at night, Pu Lin sat in the room, frowning, holding a copy of Sima Qian's "Historical Records" in his hand, and was flipping through it under the lamp.

Seeing Pu Lin frowning, none of the guards dared to come in and disturb Pu Lin. Everyone knows that whenever Pu Lin encounters trouble, he finds a place to sit down and frowns and looks through the classics of the Han people. At this time, Pu Lin didn't like to be disturbed the most.

Now that the autumn harvest season has arrived, the Di people have begun to harvest grain, but this year's harvest is very unsatisfactory.

Although loess is a very suitable soil for planting, the place where the Di people are located is too remote. Although the Western Regions of the Three Kingdoms era were full of green trees, the climate was not humid, and the rainfall was not much stronger than now, and the sand and dust on the northern grasslands would blow every year, but there were patches of forests blocking it, so that the Western Regions did not become a desert Gobi.

In the beginning, the Di people came here to cultivate the land, and the harvest was good, after all, the land has not been cultivated for many years, and it is very fertile. But after so many years of reclamation and planting, the land is getting thinner and thinner, which makes the harvest of the Di people worse every year. Coupled with the fact that last year's rain was not sufficient, this made last year's harvest the worst in history.

If it was just because of the bad harvest, Pu Lin didn't have to worry too much, and the Di people would have to deal with it themselves. But every year after the Di people have harvested the grain and grass, the Qiang people will always ask for a large part. This year, the Qiang people are attacking Liangzhou, and the grain and grass consumed are several times more than in previous years, so the Qiang people will definitely ask for more food this year.

"Hey......" Pu Lin sighed slightly, so many years of stable farming life has increased the population of the Di people several times, but the Di people have not expanded much new land, many fertile places around are Qiang pastures, the Di people dare not reclaim at all, most of the Di people can only reclaim some mountains and forests or barren land at a relatively low price, so that in a few years, the food of the Di people will inevitably be beyond their means.

"Why is Mr. Pu Lin lamenting and sighing?" A voice came from the door, Pu Lin raised his head, and now a person had appeared at the door, a young man who was not yet twenty years old.

"Ahh Pu Lin was shocked, Pu Lin is also the chief of one party, and although the place where Pu Lin lives is not five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, it can be regarded as a heavily guarded place, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to sneak in, let alone their own residence.

Pu Lin peeked out of the door, and now the two guards standing guard at the door had already arrived.

Pu Lin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. The other party is very young, but since he was able to appear in front of him without alarming a guard, and even put two guards in front of his door, it shows that the other party's martial arts are very good.

Pu Lin is not proficient in martial arts, and in the face of a person who can easily sneak to his residence, Pu Lin knows that he is not the opponent of the other party. And the young man in front of him is likely to have the strength to take his own life between raising his hands, thinking of this, Pu Lin calmed down.

Pu Lin, who calmed down, began to look carefully at Adou in front of him, Adou was too young, and Pu Lin was surprised by the young one. From Adou's calm eyes, Pu Lin could feel that the other party was not murderous.

"You shouldn't have come to trouble me!" At this moment, Pu Lin made a judgment. However, Pu Lin didn't know that the murderous aura of real masters was restrained, and it couldn't be seen from the appearance at all.

Pu Lin arched his hand, pointed to the seat next to him, and said very calmly: "This little brother, please take a seat." ”

Adou glanced at Pu Lin with appreciation, and in just a few eye-piercing efforts, Pu Lin recovered from the shock just now, and he was a character.

"What is this little brother doing here late at night?" Pu Lin asked.

"I have something I want to ask Mr. Pu to take a look." Adou said, stretched out his hand into his arms, and took out the Wusun golden knife.

"Huh, what is this?" Pu Lin stepped forward, took a closer look at the Wusun Golden Knife, and then played with it in his hand.

"This is not our Di people's thing, nor is it the Han people's thing, look at this pattern, this is not the Huns' thing." Pu Lin flicked the golden knife with his hand, and then said: "This should be made of gold, by the way, I remember, this kind of pattern is only available to Wusun, this is the thing of Wusun people!" ”

"Mr. Pu is right, this is something from the Wusun people."

"The Wusun people are really generous, using pure gold to build this knife ......" Pu Lin said here The voice suddenly paused, and as if he suddenly remembered something, the expression on his face froze.

"May I ask this little brother, are you from the original from it?" Pu Lin asked suddenly.

"Yes, I came from it."

"I can't be wrong, I shouldn't be wrong, this is what Prince Wusun is wearing, if I guess correctly, you must be the descendant of Engong!" Pu Lin said and immediately tidied up his clothes, bowed to Adou and fell to the ground, and said, "Engong, please accept Pu Lin's worship." ”

"Looks like you know what happened back then?" Adou's heart was slightly relieved, originally Adou was still worried that Pu Lin didn't know the origin of this golden knife, but now it seems that Pu Lin knew what happened back then.

Pu Lin nodded: "Engong's kindness to my clan, how can my clan forget." I heard about it from my father. ”

Adou nodded with some relief, since Pu Lin knew the meaning of this golden knife, it saved a lot of trouble.

Pu Lin on the other side also understood that this Wusun Golden Knife had not appeared for decades, and now it suddenly appeared in front of him, presumably because the owner of the Golden Knife was in trouble and wanted to find help from himself, so he traveled thousands of miles from the Central Plains to this Western Regions to find himself.

So after a few words of greeting with Adou, Pu Lin asked: "Engong came this time, I don't know what to order, my grandfather once said, Engong has something, my clan will definitely help each other, as long as I can help Pu Lin, I will definitely go all out!" ”

Pu Lin said impassionedly, but Adou noticed a slight flicker in Pu Lin's eyes.

"It seems that this Pu Lin is a slippery head!" Adou sighed slightly in his heart, but at the same time, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "There is indeed something to ask for in the next place." ”

"Eun Gong, please speak."

"To tell you the truth, I'm from Chang'an." Adou opened his mouth first.

Pu Lin nodded, coming from Chang'an, which means that the engong in front of him is a person from Liu Bei's side.

"Now that Cheriji has invaded my Central Plains, the main force of the Qiang people is in my Liangzhou, so I hope that the Di people can send troops to help me eliminate the main force of the Qiang army in Cheriji!" After Adou finished speaking, his eyes looked at Pu Lin, and he just saw Pu Lin's reaction.
