After the city, Yang Shi and others did not immediately separate from the caravan of Sun Shotou, and the caravan went to the business market in the city together, along the way, the pedestrians dressed strangely, although Wuwei County is the closest to the inland of the four counties of Hexi, but the Han people in the city only account for forty percent at most, the Qiang people, the Tibetans, the Western Regions people, the Tuyuhun people, the Hui people, the Tu people and other grassland peoples constitute the remaining sixty percent.

Along the way, Mai Tiezhu and others were looking left and right, experiencing the customs of various ethnic groups in Wuwei City and the cities of the Central Plains, only Yang Shi was worried about Zhongzhong, if the prediction came true, how to complete the task assigned by the prince.

"My lord, here we are." Sun pointed his head to the front.

Mai Tiezhu raised his eyes and saw a vast open space in front of him, and some white felt tents were sparsely distributed in some places, but the figure Liao Liao was greatly disappointed, and asked suspiciously: "This is the commercial market?" It's no wonder that Mai Tiezhu is puzzled, not to mention the capital, even the market of any inland county town is more crowded than here.

Sun Tzu didn't answer, and said to one of the guards next to him: "Ring the gong and tell them that our Sun caravan is coming." ”

"Yes!" The guard answered, and took out a gong from the carriage, "Bell, bell, bell," and struck it in the clearing.

"The caravan is coming, the caravan is coming." As soon as the gong sounded, a group of people suddenly rushed up, as if they had suddenly come out of the ground, but they startled Yang Shi, who was contemplating.

"Sun Toutou, where is the porcelain I want?"

"My silk?"

……

The group surrounded the caravan and couldn't wait to ask Sun about it. Among them are not only Qiang people. Hui people, as well as people from the Western Regions with fair complexions and high noses and deep eyes.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you have everything you want, you have it." Sun replied with a smile, the price here has increased fivefold compared to the Central Plains, and when he arrived here, he had completed more than half of the caravan journey. If it weren't for the fact that there wasn't much cargo here, the caravan could go straight back after selling it.

Yang Shi touched the wheat iron rod that was in a daze: "Let's go!" ”

Mai Tiezhu was stunned: "Go, where are you going?" ”

"Of course, it's to find the whereabouts of the sons of the Yang family."

Mai Tiezhu patted his head and remembered. He was not a member of the caravan, and he didn't come here to buy goods, so he hurriedly followed the rest of the people away.

Watching Yang Shi and the others leave, Sun Tzu seemed to put down a big stone in his confidence. When there were more of these people on the road, there were twenty more sturdy guards, but after entering the city, the caravan was no longer in danger, and Sun Zixin certainly did not want a group of imperial envoys to be by his side. Let yourself tremble all the time.

Outside Wuwei City, the Red Wolf Rider still advanced according to the previous route, this route. They've been gone for seven years. You can't go wrong with Shudi closing your eyes. Along the way, all caravan travelers they encountered would stop. With a respectful gaze, he watched as the red wolf rode through.

"Phew!" With a shout, the galloping red wolf rider slowly stopped, and one of the people in front lifted the mask covering his face, revealing a resolute face, judging from the face, this person was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, but he already had a long beard under his chin.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

……

The four red wolves rode together to the long-bearded young man, and lifted their ground covers, their faces younger than the other, and the youngest one was clearly childish, only fourteen or fifteen years old.

If Yang Shi is here, he can immediately recognize the identity of the long-bearded young man, this face is basically exactly the same as the dead Yang Su except for age, it is undoubtedly Yang Su's eldest son Yang Xuangan, and the other four people are the other four sons of Yang Sudi: Yang Xuanxian, Yang Xuanzong, Yang Wanshi, and Yang Jishan.

The red wolf had already ridden fifty or sixty miles on horseback, and although the weather here was not hot, there was still a trace of fine sweat on everyone's bodies, and the horses that stepped down were sweating profusely.

"Dismount and rest!"

As Yang Xuangan's order was issued, there was a commotion behind him, and hundreds of red wolves rode over and dismounted, took off their masks, and began to loosen the horse's belly, and then took off the dry food from the horse, allowing the horse to eat the tender grass freely.

On the flat grass in the distance, there are dozens of raised hills, and the hills are covered with grass like other places, but there is almost no grass in a large area in front of them, Yang Xuangan led everyone to those hills, knelt down silently and kowtowed three heads, before sitting cross-legged on the ground, taking out dry food and nibbling, this kind of action seems to have been done thousands of times, very familiar, which also explains why there is no grass growing here.

In the eyes of Wuwei County and the merchants of the past, they are invincible red wolf riders, caravans, and the protectors of travelers, but no one wants to get them, they are all composed of the lowest soldiers, once they die in battle, they can only be buried on the spot, and not even a monument will be left, even if they make a contribution, there will be no reward until the identity of the soldier is not changed.

The hill bag here is the place where the red wolf rode to the death of the robe in the past, like this hill bag, except here

Spread in the other seven or eight grasslands, every hill bag, has witnessed the battle of a horse thief, although every battle with the horse thief ended with the victory of the red wolf ride, but these small mountain bags added up, almost more than the total number of red wolf rides now.

Just as the crowd was eating, the youngest Yang Jishan suddenly spit out the dry food on the ground with a "puff" and said, "It's hard to eat." ”

This is Yang Jishan joined the red wolf riding after the first march, he from a small brocade clothes and jade food, and later although with the distribution, everyone pity him young, but also take more care, talk about not big fish and meat, coarse tea and light rice are always there, from time to time there are also some meat dishes to improve the food, the red wolf ride is composed of soldiers, the standard of food is not high, their dry food is just a black nest head, made of some miscellaneous grains, which is also mixed with a small part of rice bran, worse than the horse eats, Yang Jishan is naturally not used to eating.

"Pick it up!" Seeing that Yang Jishan threw away the nest head in his hand, Yang Xuangan's face was already blue.

"Big brother." Yang Jishan shouted aggrievedly.

"Pick it up!" Yang Xuangan was not moved by Yang Jishan's aggrieved voice at all, and ordered again.

Yang Jishan was dissatisfied. I thought it was just a nest, I just didn't eat it, why did the eldest brother make such a fuss. It's just that the eldest brother is like a father, after Yang Su's death, Yang Xuangan naturally became the leader, and under the prestige, Yang Jishan had to move slowly and pick up the black nest head that was rolling on the side.

Seeing Yang Jishan pick up the nest head, Yang Xuangan's face was slightly aligned: "Eat it." ”

Yang Jishan had to wipe off the dirt on the head of the nest with his hands. I bit it down in small bites, and tears were already rolling in my eyes.

For this little episode, the surrounding red wolf cavalry seemed to be unaware, and they all carefully chewed the black nest head in their hands. He refused to waste even a little bit of residual foam, as if this black nest head was a delicacy of the mountains and seas, only Yang Jishan ate half of it, and the half that was multiplied couldn't be eaten anyway.

Yang Xuanyu walked over. patted Yang Jishan on the shoulder, handed him a water bladder, and encouraged: "Fifth brother, eat it." You'll know later, if you don't eat, you won't have the strength in your body. Once you run into an enemy. There is a high probability that he will die because of it. ”

Yang Jishan took the water bladder. He took a big sip and gritted his teeth. Stuffed the remaining half of the nest head into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks, and ate it like a jujube, which immediately caused a strong cough, Yang Xuanxuan hurriedly slapped him on the back a few times, and gave him a sip of water, Yang Zhishan stopped coughing.

"Second brother, didn't I hear that as long as you go out of the city, you can hit a lot of prey, why do you want to eat such an unpalatable nest." After such a cough, Yang Jishan was already in tears.

"Of course, you can hit the prey, and you'll know when you get to the night, but before you hit the prey, you have to eat the nest." Yang Xuanxuan said with a smile.

"Second brother, since you can hit the prey, I don't want to go to the nest head right away, okay?" When he set off, each red wolf rider carried more than 20 nest heads, and Yang Jishan tasted one and didn't want to eat it anymore.

"No way!" Yang Xuanxuan replied very resolutely, seeing that Yang Jishan looked confused, he hurriedly explained: "Silly brother, we came out to exterminate the horse thieves and ensure the safety of the caravan, not for hunting, once we have to fight with the horse thieves, how can we have time to hunt, if we don't have these nests, we can only go hungry, not to mention that we can't eat meat every day to live." ”

What Yang Jishan didn't know was that for the Red Wolf Rider, the best food was never the prey that seemed to be available at any time, but these inconspicuous nests, and it was these nests that most of the people were able to survive in the distribution seven years ago.

Six years ago, the horse thieves on the grassland united, the red wolf rode heavily surrounded, the two sides fought for half a day, it is because of these nests, the red wolf riding can maintain physical strength, the more brave the more courageous, not only rushed out of the horse thieves encircled, but also launched a counter-attack on the horse thieves, after the horse thieves were defeated, and pursued for three days and three nights, before the first horse thieves gang was killed, the achievement of the red wolf riding undefeated prestige, even now, these nests are also the staple food of the red wolf riding land.

After eating the dry food, everyone got up and called the mount, tied the horse's belly tightly, stepped on the horse's back, and ran to the next place, since the establishment of the Red Wolf Horse, except for the occasional rest time in the city, every day was spent like this, and it was especially difficult at the beginning, the grassland was full of horse thieves, and they must be ready to fight the horse thieves they encountered. Now the red wolf riding is famous, the horse thieves on the trade road have been greatly reduced, even if there are horse thieves, see the flag of the red wolf riding will be far away, basically in the first half of the year there is a rare war, but the red wolf riding patrol has never stopped.

Almost an hour before dark, the Red Wolf Rider stopped his advance, and began to fan the ranks around a small low wood, driving out the animals of the woods, yellow sheep, hares, pheasants, and pigs...... All kinds of prey dazzled Yang Jishan.

By the time it got dark, the whole team had beaten more than 20 yellow sheep, a wild donkey, and a wild one weighing more than 200 kilograms

Even the two wolves became prey, and as for the other hares, the pheasants did not have rabbits, and the pheasants had too little meat, and unless they hit the side, the sergeant on the red wolf rode did not even bother to pull the bow.

The prey was quickly carried to the stream and disemboweled, except for one wild donkey skin and two wolf skins, the rest of the prey's fur was discarded along with the internal organs, and after the red wolf rode away, these things were naturally disposed of by other animals on the grassland.

Piles of bonfires were lit, and everyone took off their masks and drove the peeled and washed prey to the bonfire. After a while, the aroma of barbecued meat went straight to the nostrils, and the whole grassland was filled with laughter.

Yang Jishan only ate a nest head at noon, his stomach was already hungry, smelling the aroma of barbecue, and kept swallowing saliva, Yang Xuangan came over and handed over a roasted pheasant: "Give!" ”

Yang Jishan was overjoyed, took the pheasant and took a big bite. After a while, his mouth was full of oil, and he said vaguely: "Thank you, big brother!" ”

Yang Xuangan showed a smile on his face: "Slow down, don't worry, no one will rob you." ”

"Big brother. Today's prey is so abundant, it can be fought more, why let those yellow sheep go at the end? Yang Jishan asked as he nibbled on chicken.

"As long as the prey is enough to eat. Why do you fight so much? ”

Yang Jishan just wanted to say that he could keep it and go back to the city to sell it, but he remembered that he would have to stay in the wild for at least half a month before returning to the city, so he had to swallow his words and replied: "Then you can also keep it." Won't you be able to stop hunting tomorrow? ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head, he didn't explain, these things only need time. Yang Jishan will naturally understand. Hunting every day is actually more than a drill for the red wolf to ride. It is also an opportunity to relax, in order to lighten the burden on the horses. You should never put too much prey on the horse.

After eating this pheasant, Yang Jishan patted his half-full stomach, looked at Yang Xuangan embarrassedly, Yang Xuangan smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said, "Fifth brother, if you want to eat enough, you have to wait." ”

Looking at the smile of the eldest brother, Yang Jishan suddenly asked impulsively: "Eldest brother, with your merits, you can already get rid of the identity of a soldier, why do you still have to ride out of the city with the red wolf, so hard every day?" ”

The smile on Yang Xuangan's face suddenly disappeared, and he said word by word: "The eldest brother has sworn that as long as the red wolf has a brother who has not escaped from the status of a pawn, the eldest brother will not leave the identity of a pawn." ”

"Big brother, you're so nice!" Yang Jishan felt that his eldest brother was tall and could not be looked up to.

Yang Xuangan shook his head bitterly: "The eldest brother is not good, if the eldest brother is good, he should wash away his father's grievances and let the Hongnong Yang family stand up again." ”

"But...... But ......" Yang Jishan sneered, gritted his teeth at the end, and said: "But, eldest brother, my father's unjust case was decided by the prince, is it possible to wash it up?" ”

Yang Xuangan was silent, most of the people in the red wolf ride were the generals of the Yang family, and when they followed Qinghe Gong in the past, they had to say how beautiful they were, except for the emperor, Qinghe Gong could not sell anyone's land, but Jiangnan was unified, the prince immediately killed the donkey, and everyone also fell from the sky to the ground, became a traitor, and was sentenced to the border, the prince is equivalent to the red wolf riding in the middle of the taboo, but this taboo suddenly made Yang Jishan break it.

Yang Xuanxuan just came to the side, heard Yang Jishan's words, glared fiercely, and didn't speak, seven years ago, they were the sons of the powerful Qinghe Gong, and the emperor was still Yuanzong, and his father had just established the Grand Duke, just when they all thought that this power could be taken to the next level, they were suddenly accused of rebellion by the prince, and then their father committed suicide, the family was raided, and they were assigned, for their brothers, this blow was too big, so that after seven years, it seemed like it was still yesterday.

"Zheng." With a sound, Yang Xuanwei took out the long sword at his waist and swore to the sky: "No matter who decides, if I don't wash away my father's grievances and revive the momentum of the Yang family, I, Yang Xuan, will be a son of man in vain." ”

"Zheng, Zheng." Under the leadership of Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuanxuan Award and Yang Jishan couldn't help but set aside their swords and swore to the heavens: "If I don't wash away my father's grievances and revive the momentum of the Yang family, my Yang Xuansheng (Yang Jishan) will be in vain as a son of man." ”

Hearing the sudden oath to the sky, the red wolf rider who was barbecuing his prey suddenly stopped moving, and in an instant, the entire grassland was silent, only the sound of peeling and peeling when the bonfire burned.

Yang Xuanzong and Yang Wanshi immediately understood, and immediately swore to the sky: "If I don't wash away my father's grievances and revive the momentum of the Yang family, I, Yang Xuanzong (Yang Wanshi), will be a son of man in vain." ”

After the Yang brothers finished their oath, they couldn't help but smile, and all the red wolf riders knelt down: "If I can clear up the grievances for Qinghe Gong, I will not give up until I die." ”
