Chapter 223: The Starry Night Comes to Ride
It was late at night, and the whole Linyuan Town was quiet, only a light was still on in the wine shop, and the snow-clothed woman sat under the light to repair, and from time to time she would pluck the strings to compare the tone, and the sound of the piano spread far away, and it was like the stars in the sky blinking. Ziggy came out of the liquor shop with a jar of wine in his arms, and the little bird walked beside him, also holding a jar of wine.
Outside the town there were bonfires, and the merchants gathered around the fires, the flames crackled and danced, and the cleanly cut game was roasted on the fire, and the butter of the boiling soup dripped into the flames, and the flames of 'zing' rose very high. The group of hunters also sat by the fire to barbecue meat and drink, Dayong people are straightforward, after the misunderstanding is cleared, they show Dayong's tolerant and generous side, so, an inexplicable duel disappeared. Now, the rugged hunter sat beside the eldest brother of the chieftain, holding a roast leg of lamb and munching on it, praising the wine of the country of Lu while chewing.
Ziggy thought it was a little funny, this Orion probably didn't know, when the bell rang Fuyu, the mysterious proprietor asked something, and Orion honestly confessed everything he knew. Li Gongzi once came to Linyuan Town, and he came from south to north. Zige didn't know how beautiful the prince was at the bottom, and he made these Orions not hesitate to fight for her good name, and he didn't know why the noble beauty in the world would go to the south, the current south is not peaceful, I heard that Chen and Zhao are in a war to destroy the country, and to the south of the Liuyuan River, the twenty-five countries of Jiangbei held an alliance meeting in the Jade Pill City of Zheng State, and the twenty-five princes made an alliance with blood, announced that they would advance and retreat together, and swore to protect Jiangbei to the death.
After Southern Chu became king, the army carrying the thundercloud blood phoenix banner continued to pour into Jiangbei by warship, and the Southern Chu army in the land of Ba and Cheng also jumped over the deep mountains and old forests into Jiangbei, and when Qi Ge learned the news, there were only twenty-three of the twenty-five countries in Jiangbei, and two small princes were wiped out by Chu Xuanhuai. Today, Nanchu is like a fire phoenix with wings soaring, showing its power to the world.
But what does this have to do with me? I'm a guy now, a big gun. Whether it is the general trend of the world or the first beauty in the world, it has nothing to do with me. ’
An old dog that was about to lose all his hair came from the shadows, wiped it around Ziggy's body, wagged its tail and drooled at Ziggy flatteringly, its eyes looked directly at the half-cut bone in Ziggy's hand, Ziggy threw the bone at it, and the dog ran away with the bone in his mouth.
"Hey, big gun."
The eldest brother of the leader threw the wine bag in his hand, Qi Ge took it with his hand, sniffed it, it was Qi wine, the old brewed jade pot spring, shook it vigorously, there was still half a bag of wine in it, although Qi Ge had become Jige, but his preferences would not change, and he still liked to drink Qi wine.
Twisting half a bag of wine, Zige left the lively fire, came to the outside of the camp, sat on a stone and drank the wine silently, the Yan wine was as strong as a knife, the aftertaste of Qi wine was pure, drinking pure Qi wine, looking at the stars above Dayong, guarding the merchants of Lu State, this is Zige, this is me, a person who can not return home forever, since eternal life and eternal life cannot return, then where is my home?
Beneath this heavenly firmament.
The breeze blew from afar, carrying the cold of the winter night, and the stones under the ass were cold, but the armor on the body was cooler than it, fortunately there was this half bag of wine, fortunately there was the starlight of this night. Ziggy lay down, his armor grinding against the stone, making a rattling sound. The laughter and joy of the fire were still heard, mixed with the occasional dog barking, and other than that, the sky and the earth were silent. The stars in the sky were reflected in Ziggy's eyes, his face flushed slightly, and his mouth muttered, "I'm the big gun, I'm the big gun." ”
"You're the big gun."
The little bird came from the camp, staggering, and behind him was a dog, which ran very fast, and swooped to the stones, and licked Ziggy's face with his tongue, and it was the old dog, and many times, dogs were more loyal than people, and dogs knew how to be grateful more than people, even if Ziggy only threw him a fleshless bone.
Ziggy rubbed the old dog's head, and the old dog whimpered lowly, squatted beside Ziggy, and looked into the distance with Ziggy, the distance was a dark night, and the starlight shook down, faintly, and could not be seen.
The little bird walked up to Ziggy and sat down, his mouth spewing a strong smell of wine, and the smell of roasted meat wafted from his body.
"What's in the sky? Haotian God? The little bird put his helmet on the ground, stretched his legs diagonally, and placed the greatsword on his lap, and held his hands behind the stones, looking up at the sky.
"The great god of Haotian does not live in the sky."
"And where does it live?"
"Live where we can't see and control our destiny."
"What is fate?"
"Fate is fate, and if it can be said clearly and clearly, it is not fate."
"Come, drink."
"I'm out of alcohol."
"I have."
The galaxy is not splendid, the stars in the sky are very few, a slap can be counted, the moon is not round, an oblique round, lonely in the black galaxy swimming. Two young men sat on a stone, an old dog, and a jug of wine.
Wine is the most benevolent gift of the great god Haotian, which can eliminate all worries and confusions, and can also bring passion. After drinking, the little bird began to tell about the beautiful 'Beard', about the robbers whose heads he had cut off, about the general situation in the world, about everything he wanted to say. Ziggy listened quietly, replying from time to time, and although the topic of the little bird was a little superficial, he still listened attentively and answered seriously. Little Bird is his friend, brother, and they fight side by side, leaving their backs to each other to guard. Except for the stars in the sky and the ubiquitous god Haotian, they are the closest.
"Big gun, you must be a man with a background. A nobleman, perhaps? ”
Little Bird said that this is the eighteenth time he has said this, because Ziggy knows a lot, so much that Little Bird thinks he is omnipotent, knowledge is in the hands of nobles and scholars and witches, passed down from generation to generation, ordinary people only know the sky and the earth, men face the loess with their backs to the sky, hard work, women with their backs to the sky, hard work. As he spoke, the little bird kept staring into Ziggy's eyes, but the result disappointed him, Ziggy's eyes were as calm as ever, like an old well in the town, undisturbed.
Zieg said seriously: "I'm not a nobleman, I'm a big gun." ”
"yes, you're a big gun."
Every time it would end like this, the little bird had become accustomed to it, and in his eyes, Ziggy was mysterious, even more mysterious than the veiled proprietor who had been veiled for many years. At the same time, he also knew that if you put the sword around his neck if Ziggy didn't want to say something, he would definitely not tell you. Therefore, Little Bird thinks that Ziggy is not an ordinary person.
The moonlight was getting darker and darker, the two young men sat quietly and looked at the stars in the sky, Ziggy counted to eight, the little bird counted to nineteen, the old dog stuck out his tongue and licked the mouth of the empty wine sac, the fire in the distance was extinguished one by one, and the voices of people and horses began to slowly fall silent.
"Woo, woo......"
At this moment, the sound of a horn was heard in the distance, the sound was very far away, but it was very clear in this hazy night, and when the horn was heard, the little bird grabbed the sword on the ground, and one turned over and stood up, and looked vigilantly at the place where the sound came from.
"Woohoo."
The old dog barked with its ears pricked up, and it tried to run towards the camp, but Ziggy did not move, and he hesitated, clinging to Ziggy's legs, and continued to bark. Dogs barked in the camp, and men and women ran around in a panic, screaming one after another.
"Herod'......"
The neighing of horses sounded in the camp, and in front of a bonfire that had not yet been extinguished, the eldest brother of the chief climbed on the horse's back, reined in his horse and raised his sword, and shouted: "Calm down, calm down." ”
At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the dark night, and the sound of hooves seemed to come out of hell, and the rhythm was extremely dull, and the tips of people's hearts were stepped on at once, and at first they fell like raindrops one by one, and soon turned into bean rain and sand.
Ziggy and the little bird ran towards the camp, the old dog darting beside them.
"Who will gallop in the night? Will it be a robber? The little bird ran and put on his iron helmet.
"No, there are no robbers in Dayong!"
Until this time, Ziggy still did not see the coming horse, only knew that it must have come from the east, the ground was shaking, and the ants on the blades of grass could not grasp the tips of the grass, and rolled off the blades of grass and fell into the mud. Ziggy ran as fast as he could, stomping an ant to death and a toad with the other, and before he died, the toad shot the poisonous juice from his back, but it could not corrode the shin armor on Ziggy's legs.
Eighteen knights soon gathered around the fire, and Ziggy flipped into his horse and raised his spear. Behind them was another group of knights, about fifty or so, flanked by sword and shield bearers with swords and shields, a hundred or so men. The hunters who were about to duel with the little birds did not leave, they drew their hunting knives from their waists, and looked nervously to the east, but they could see nothing.
"Those who don't have horses protect the proprietor, guard the camp, and those who have horses follow me!"
The eldest brother of the leader shouted, and rode his horse to the east, and Ziggy took the reins of his horse and followed closely behind. The camp was just outside the town, and they didn't expect to be attacked on the land of Dayong, as if it was still near Yongdu, so the camp was not firmly entrenched, there were no horses, no watchtowers, and even simple guards. If the robbers are really coming to ride, then they must intercept them outside the camp, otherwise the bandits' hooves will trample the camp to shreds.
"Hoof it, hoof it ......"
"Huhuhu......"
"Boom ......"
The horse's hooves were exploding, the panting sound was like a drum covered with raw skin, the flags on the flag guns were torn by the wind, the earth trembled more and more, and the nail leaves on the body were clicking, and a white wave rolled in the distance, and the waves were overwhelming, as if the Nu River lacked embankments.
"Woo!"
Suddenly, two rapid horns sounded in the white torrent opposite. Zigger's heart pounded and shouted, "Avoid, circumvent." That's the White Feather Elite of the Qi Kingdom! ”
