Chapter 026: Bad Omen

The sky is high, the clouds are light, and the wind is light.

On the vast prairie, the green and yellow turf stretches to the end of the earth, as if God has laid down a colorful carpet with his own hands, which is beautiful, if it were not for the occasional miserable screams, people will be intoxicated.

Following the call, two teams of men and horses, who seemed extremely small compared to the heaven and earth, were chasing each other, and the first person in the back team was holding a bow like a full moon, flying arrows like meteors, and the arrows were not missing, and each arrow was like a god of death descending on an instant hook of life......

After more than ten miles of travel, more than 20 people have been shot and killed by him, and his methods are so ruthless that they make people feel palpitations.

At this time, another person in front of him fell, and this man reached out to the quiver again, but he felt empty, so he slowed down his horse and made a whistle, led everyone to fold a slope and stood on the horse, staring mockingly at the embarrassed figure that was running farther and farther away and gradually disappearing into the sky......

If a police officer from City A sees this person at this moment, he will definitely exclaim with joy that he has finally gained after months of searching-

Qin Shen?

That's right, this person is Qin Shen, and in the past two months, the name "Qin Shen" has already been sonic and loud, making the nearby Xiongnu tribes famous.

Seeing the Huns disappear without a trace in his eyes, Qin Shenshi raised his hand and ordered: "Gather the horses and prepare to return to the camp." ”

The soldiers responded with a bang, turned their horses' heads and galloped away, driving the ownerless and lonely horses one after another.

Xue Yu, who was on the side of the team, still looked ahead from afar, and then said with admiration: "General, your archery skills are absolutely unparalleled in the world!" ”

Qin Shen's face twitched slightly involuntarily, retracted his gaze and looked at him with a tired look, and said mockingly: "Uncle Xue! Why have you become even more shameless than that Cao Jin now? If I'm not mistaken, this is the ninth time you've said this in three days, and it's the same word. ”

Xue Yu shrugged his shoulders as indifferent as he was, and said with a smile: "It's not too much good to say, besides, aren't you standing here just to wait for my words?" ”

"Begging for a beating!" In the midst of laughing and scolding, Qin Shen raised his horsewhip and was about to fight, until Xue Yushan shrank back, then he stopped the momentum and withdrew the horsewhip, sighed as if he had something on his mind, and no longer made trouble: "I'm just thinking about things...... Also, you don't learn from that Cao Jin, I think that although you jumped out when you first entered the camp, you were not as flamboyant as this, and if you look at Brother Ling, you will not be like you when you entered the camp in March. ”

"Me?" Qu Han on the other side looked at it when he heard it, and said with an endless aftertaste: "I'm just intoxicated and can't extricate myself." ”

"You!" Qin Shen was speechless for a moment, lamented and stroked his forehead with his hand, and said happily: "Thanks to Cao Jin today in the future, otherwise I would have to choke to death in this grassland." ”

Seeing him mention Cao Jin, Xue Yu's "ha" voice attracted the attention of the two, and he said proudly: "Brother Cao followed the general out to hunt for days without any gain, and today he decided to go back to the county to visit his sister-in-law, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by me outside the plug, before he also wanted to use food to lure me to go together, fortunately I withstood the temptation, this is such a harvest, just like the general often said, 'Eat hard, only then can you become a master', it seems that this is the case!" Hum! When I go back to tell him, I will definitely make him so angry that he will vomit all the overnight dinner, so as to relieve my ......."

Seeing the smiling faces of the two of them, he stopped talking and asked confusedly, "Why are the generals and brothers laughing?" ”

Qin Shen exaggeratedly pressed his abdomen with his hand, shook his head lightly and squinted at him, and quipped, "When did I tell you that this sentence is used in this way?" Oh, is it possible that in your eyes, just missing a meal is the so-called bitter eating? ”

Xue Yu blushed and scratched his head quite embarrassedly, and humbly asked, "What is the most appropriate word to use?" ”

"Hmm...... If you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry elm. ”

"The east corner is for the sunrise, the mulberry elm is for the sunset, the sunrise of the loss, the sunset of the harvest, what is the explanation?" Xue Yu was thoughtful, and then asked the bottom of the question, and Qu Han immediately put on a look of listening.

Qin Shen smiled and was about to explain, but he was suddenly shocked: It's broken!

Lost in the east, harvested mulberry elm, is a few years or more than ten years later that Liu Xiu in an edict to describe the merits of a general, he is now leaking in advance, in case there is a future, how to justify himself?

Looking at the eager eyes of the two, thanks to the fact that he had already practiced the ability to adapt to improvisations in the past few months, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he made up nonsense: "This east taro is not the east corner, the east taro, the east taro, in the past, someone in my hometown went out to look for food, and missed a taro in the east, but got mulberries and elm pods in the west, so the village later used the lost east taro and harvested the mulberry to make fun of him." ”

"Oh!" Xue Yu nodded suddenly in realization, and wondered, "What is taro?" And mulberries, elm pods, can you eat them? ”

Qin Shen suddenly had a terrible headache, so he could only endure it and said, "You can eat it!" Taro is a food from my hometown, huh...... Brother Qu is well-informed, he should know, right? ”

Qu Han bowed slightly, and inadvertently relieved him: "I have seen it in Lingnan, and Taishi Gong also recorded it in the "Historical Records", I never thought that Brother Qin's hometown also had this thing. ”

"Huh!" Qin Shen laughed casually a few times and passed perfunctorily, secretly glad that the two of them did not continue to ask.

Qu Han pondered alone for a moment, his face suddenly became solemn, "Brother Qin seems to have something in his heart, and he also had this meaning in his words, I don't know what I'm worried about, I might as well say it and let me wait for a detailed reference." ”

In the past few months of living and dying together, several people have already established a deep relationship, and the things they usually discuss are only related to military politics, so Qu Han doesn't have too many scruples when he talks in private, and he knows that the other party will not have any other thoughts because of this.

Qin Shen really didn't have the slightest problem about this, he always felt that one person was short, and two people were long, and it was better to have someone to help him make suggestions and check and fill in the gaps than to think about it secretly, but what he was worried about at the moment was a vain guess, and he really didn't know whether he should say it.

Seeing that he showed hesitation, Qu Han smiled indifferently and said profoundly: "Brother Qin might as well say it directly to see if it is consistent with the worries in my heart." ”

Qin Shen suddenly looked at the other party in surprise, and after getting Qu Hanchengzhu's chest-like chin smile, he turned his head back, looked into the distance without pointing away, and sorted out the thoughts in his mind again.

The grassland in late autumn has long since lost the vitality of spring and summer, but it is not all without vitality, a groundhog probe probed from the far hole stretched out half of the head, with round eyes to a few people timidly, under several temptations, to make sure that the other party is not a threat, then suddenly out of the hole, jumping, swaggering towards the farther away, looking for food for the winter.

Until the groundhog completely disappeared from sight, Qin Shenshi withdrew his gaze and sighed slightly, "Actually, this is just my intuition and speculation. ”

Seeing that he finally opened the topic, the two did not interrupt without speaking, but just watched him wait for the next step.

"A few days ago, I had this premonition, more than ten days ago the Huns no longer sneak attack the border villages and no movement, before I was glad for it, but then gradually reacted, this is compared with the usual behavior of the Huns, it is too abnormal, until today to meet this group of Huns, I am sure that the premonition may come true......"

After a slight pause, he continued: "Although the other party tried to pretend to be a robbery, the truth is true, and the false is false, and the intentional and unintentional people can be identified from their actions at a glance. And the timing of the other party's appearance in front of us is too coincidental, always giving people a sense of intentionality, although the other party also pays the price, but it is difficult to hide its contrived state. ”

As he spoke, he looked sideways at Qu Han and said, "Also, I don't know if Brother Qu has found out that I have been patrolling the border for more than two months, how have I ever seen the other party dress up like this today?" Although the difference is very small, it is just that I am not boasting, and now that I can close my eyes and remember the subtle differences in the costumes of the nearby tribes, how can they deceive me? Therefore, I have reason to suspect that the other party is not a nearby tribe, and all kinds of actions are just a suspicious soldier who wants to paralyze me. ”

Listening quietly until Qin Shen finished speaking, facing the other party's staring eyes, Qu Han nodded slightly, and asked, "Then what is the conclusion that Brother Qin has reached?" ”

"The Great War is coming!" Qin Shen's eyes were blazing, and he continued to look directly at Awe-inspiring and asked, "Does Brother Qu think so?" ”

Qu Han shrugged his shoulders irresponsibly, spread his hands and said, "All the problems have been mentioned by you, and I can only agree." ”

Hearing this, Qin Shen almost couldn't swallow in one breath, and turned his head back in annoyance, but he also knew in his heart that the other party also had this opinion.

"The big war? What kind of war? Thousands? After listening to the conversation between the two, Xue Yu's surprise and worry overflowed.

In the past few months in the army, several people have encountered countless small-scale battles, but the largest war is only the one in Tuntian, in his heart, I am afraid that the duel of thousands of people is already an unimaginable limit.

Qin Shen slowly shook his head uncertainly, sighed, and said lightly: "Maybe thousands, maybe tens of thousands." ”

"Tens of thousands?" Xue Yudeng's mouth opened wide in disbelief, imagining that he would be in it, and he inevitably felt that he was small and gave birth to a feeling like a drop in the ocean, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Affected by his emotions, Qu Han also sighed involuntarily, and immediately said with relief: "Brother Qin doesn't need to worry too much, maybe this is just me thinking too much." ”

"I hope so!" The heavy look on Qin Shen's face did not diminish slightly because of his words of relief.

The deep friendship made Qu Han reluctant to see him so troubled, so he was silent for a moment, and then persuaded: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, and many things are not my turn to think, so I can only do my best, right?" ”

Qin Shen nodded, remembering that Dou Yi had taken care of him in the past few months, from Wen Taowu to clothing, food, housing and transportation, he slowly shook his head, looked at the soldiers who had already circled the horses, gathered his thoughts, and said with his legs between the horse's belly: "Go!" Let's go back to the camp first. ”

Qu Han looked at his departing back with sympathy, and then looked at Xue Yu, who was still stammering, coughed heavily and woke up the other party, and followed the horse towards Wuquan Pass.
