Before the milk tea was boiled, the white wolf brothers and sisters were very dissatisfied with them blocking the warm sunlight, tilting their heads to look at this group of weirdos with shocked expressions, if it weren't for Ouyang Xuan signaling them not to move, it is estimated that the big head would have been on top of the post that just blocked the sun. "Dare to ask Childe, who killed those sand wolves and giant beasts on the west side?" , "Do you see that there are other people here, I almost forgot", after speaking, he took out the green wolf skin given by the king of the south from his pocket and handed it to Yicheng. Yi Cheng took it and just glanced at it, his hands were a little trembling, trembling hands, and handed it back, Ouyang Xuan held the wooden stick in one hand, and took the sheepskin in the other hand and put it in his pocket. "I am presumptuous, I don't know that the divine envoy of the mighty Hanhai is coming, and I deserve to die, so I will get some high-quality meat for Gongzi to show my gratitude", Yi Cheng immediately knelt on one knee after reading the wolf skin, and said with a trembling voice. "Don't bother with the post man, there is this milk, a certain meal is enough, and there is also a labor post to contact the caravan to the east on behalf of the caravan, and a certain direction", "Where does the divine envoy come from, can be sent by the divine envoy, and I can't ask for it, not to mention that the divine envoy will remove the wolf and demon trouble for this manhole land, you might as well stay for a few more days and find a suitable merchant to accompany the divine envoy", "That's the case, thank you here", after speaking, he got up and bowed deeply. "Where do you dare to be a god, I'll send someone to Dunhuang", "Wait, the tooth of the monster, stay with a certain one, and make decorations for my pet" After speaking, he patted Gu Li and Buick, and the two guys were quite cooperative, rubbing Ouyang Xuan's thigh with his big head, and then looked at the Yicheng who was about to leave with a longing look. "God makes what you need, and you should do it when you make up your mind", after saying that, he turned around and left with a few people.

"Childe, but his surname is Ouyang?" , an elderly Han Chinese said in Shandong's dialect. There are still five Han people in front of him who haven't left, and they have been standing on the left side in front of Ouyang Xuan, it's not strange that there are Han people here, but Ouyang Xuan has been busy making milk tea, and he really hasn't poured out the effort to talk to them, since they took the initiative to come, then they have to have a good chat. "Exactly, I don't know why I asked?" , "A certain has just returned from Qiuzi, and met a foreign race from the north of the Tianshan Mountains, all of them talk about the son, called the divine envoy, and the deeds of the son have been heard a little, and the patriarch of the Mo clan has also heard about the son, and he is very grateful for the grace of the son." I didn't expect that I was still so famous in the Western Regions, and it was spread to Qiuzi in less than half a year. "It's all shepherds, and rumors are not believable. If you don't dislike it, how about eating with your little brother, this is milk tea, it is a yin thing, and it can solve the remaining yang of eating minced meat", please sit on the wooden pier, "so, a certain taste, haha, perennial business in the Western Regions, I have long been tired of this oily, there is this food, it is a great luck for my people who travel to the east and west", before he finished speaking, a pottery bowl of milk tea has been handed over, a gesture of please, and he took a sip first. Take out the air-dried meat and throw it to the white wolf brother and sister. The two guys were lying on the sand with their front legs in their hands, and they began to gnaw wildly, eating happily. It was given to the old man and the others, a piece of air-dried meat for each person. "This meat is all made by a certain policy, made by the shepherd, are all high-quality beef and mutton, can be eaten directly, no need to steam, please use slowly, there is a little milk tea here, please take a bowl of self-convenience." "Such meat is very convenient and delicious, but I don't know if this workmanship can be complicated?" The old man kept eating, and he didn't stop talking, "It's very easy to make, but it needs to be helped by the time, if the east soil is made, you need to find another way, the west is dry and dry, the east soil is wet and rainy, and this dry is not easy, you need to use special things to drive away the moisture." "Gongzi's magic skills are very clever, I don't know when I will return to the East, I want to walk with Gongzi", "Three or five days, I need to find some things here, I don't know my brother's surname Taigao, it is very rude", "A certain Shandong Nie family, the name is hired, the ancestors are both business families, and now the Han merchants are all controlled by the family, and a certain industry is in danger", "The people are not yet hungry, how to talk about business, the people are rich and the business is prosperous, and the craftsmen are strong and the business is profitable, and now Confucianism is not limited by the former Qin, and it is the way of broadcasting Confucius and Mencius, talking about the loyalty of the monarch and the heavy man during the Warring States Period, supporting agriculture and suppressing business, in order to achieve its popularity. The upper is loyal to the monarch, and the lower is to talk about the people. Conferring and dignitaries, abandoning the fields and villages, emphasizing literature over martial arts, taking literature as a scholar, taking martial arts as the ugly, as the top, as the first, and never as the last. Although the king promoted Huang Lao, they were all controlled by the family, and the people were now all Confucian scholars, so it was difficult to think about business. It is necessary to use ingenuity to prosper agriculture and benefit agriculture, develop agricultural skills, strengthen craftsmen, study and rationalize, increase the number of items in the market, and then talk about business on top of this, it is Baili, but it is still difficult now, businessmen can only temporarily rely on aristocratic families, survive in the cracks, and if they want to prosper, they need to be virtuous and forbearing", "Listen to your words, let a certain mouth be opened, if there is such a person as Gongzi on the side of the king, it is the luck of my Han, if there is any difficulty after Gongzi returns to the east, you can find my Nie clansmen, and you will be convenient with Gongzi", "Thank you Brother Nie so much, I don't know Brother Tai, what is sold in the westward this time? ", "Some spices, furs, jade things", "Some jade, how about asking my brother to take a look?" "In this way, please take it and take a look, if there is a person you like, you must buy it with a lot of money." Ouyang Xuan got up and took out a special box for jade on the pannier, the stones in this box were all picked, and the good ones were put together with the gold nuggets, and kept them for his own use, the things given by King Nan should be no different. He took another bag of cowhide bags filled with sunken wood and put it in front of Nie Ping.

"There are still some rumored remnants of the sunken wood to ask my brother to look long", Ouyang Xuan didn't want to sell it to him, it was just a kind of show. It was also passed on to others through their mouths, and they got some things from the Western Regions to return to the Eastern Territory, not to go back purposefully, but also to paralyze the Huns, after all, I felt that the Bank of China would not let me go back easily, and I would definitely find trouble on the way, and pretending to be a merchant was not a way. The rumors of the shepherd may not indicate what he describes himself, go back in Hanfu, mix to the border of the Han land, and get a position in the border pass, and you can get up a little bit, after all, the most is time.

This is what Ouyang Xuan himself thought, in fact, the border passes of the Han Dynasty had already reported the rumors about him that he had heard from the businessmen to Liu Qi's case, Liu Qi had already sent someone to check his family history, Ouyang Xuan's family history was well-founded, after all, the surname given by his adoptive parents was a compulsory course for people who liked history, and there was indeed an Ouyang clan in the period of Emperor Wen who moved out of Shu and Longlong, and there was no news after the Xiongnu Lianrong drove the Yue clan, this Ouyang Xuan was really not afraid of checking, and he had already thought about it when he first compiled it.

Open the boxes and bags and let them see for themselves, "Brother Nie, please take your time and take a closer look, go and deal with the giant beast", "Well, Childe, please take a look, they are all special things, so you have to look carefully". Look at the old man is very careful, and don't bother, jade himself really doesn't understand, when crossing the Keketuohai in Fuyun County, he inadvertently picked up a stone on the cliff and looked good, so he brought it down, and gave it away when he came back, the guy later sold the stone for 500,000, and the feeling was aquamarine ore. Take the white wolf brothers and sisters who are full and are tilting their heads to watch Nie hire and his gang go to pull out the monster fangs, these two guys are now more and more protective of their own things, it is estimated that if they take away a stone, they can directly take the life of the person who took the thing, or with insurance.

The slaughter site on the west side was too bloody, the corpses of the sand wolves were everywhere, they couldn't get off their feet, the blood had already stained the sand black, and those Hu people watched the hellish scene from the edge of the tent, and kept pointing and pointing. Yi Cheng was also there, and asked Yi Cheng when he could let people clean up, and the answer was that it was fast, there were too many corpses, and the first few people couldn't stand it, and they were all scared back, and after a while, the general of Dunhuang brought the soldiers over, and Ouyang Xuan asked them to take the sand away, but they didn't want the white wolf brothers and sisters to live in the bloody smell of this kind of wolf, once the beast nature was stimulated, it was very troublesome, and he really couldn't do it.

The monster's corpse had obviously been moved, and its head and neck were joined together, presumably by someone doing it for the sake of measurement. It took a lot of effort to pry off the four fangs, which weighed a pound, how long, and after looking in the mouth, there were four teeth with better shapes that were also pried off. Take the lake to clean and scrape with water, cut off the unused tooth roots, this guy's entire dentin is brownish-red, not red on the surface. After washing, I went to the reeds and gouged the belly of a white wolf, and found a blue stone the size of a thumb. Wash it and take it to the post keeper and hand him the stone, "I wonder where this stone is found nearby?" Yi Cheng looked at it for a long time before saying: "This thing should be far away from the Xiongnu Hutu King Territory Daqing Mountain, in its Hun Ertu Department of the summer pasture hot spring, a few years ago there were Hun people sold to our country through this, in the next has seen, it is said that the hot spring often gushes blue hot water, after many years of water to become this thing, the initial glow, placed a few years after the luster, three years ago after a movement, this spring disappeared. It turned out that after the hot water dried, it became a large piece of this substance, but it was no longer luster. There was once a Xiongnu wizard who said that wearing ornaments on the chest can cure chest diseases, and with the waist can cure kidney diseases. Ordinary people are prone to sudden death, and those with hard lives are matched to increase longevity." It also came out of the ground, and these wolves are supposed to live there and drink the water there all year round, causing genetic mutations. When the water dried up there, he went down the hill and ran here. I don't know if there's a big one, so let's see if it's open. Thinking of this, he said, "These wolves may live in that hot spring, often drink its water, and the stomach pouch sinks into this thing", before Yi Cheng finished translating, two Hu people have begun to vomit, Yi Cheng is calm, "That monster doesn't know if there is also this thing, wait for a certain planing to see", Yi Cheng heard this, quickly stopped "The divine envoy is a nobleman, such a vulgar work, just send someone to do it, there is this thing will be sent to the divine envoy", forget it, it was originally curious, I want to get to the end, since I take it as a treasure, then follow the water" A certain is also a moment of curiosity, this thing has never wanted to take it, and the obtained can be handled by the post", "So, thank the divine envoy" After speaking, he gave a bow.

If you know the answer, go back to the tent and deal with these teeth. Nie Ping was still checking the stones one by one, not bothering him. He made a fire, boiled water in a clay pot, and threw the eight teeth into the jar to boil. It is necessary to cook for at least five hours to remove the fat and organic matter in the teeth, and then dry in the shade before carving. Ouyang Xuan didn't want to carve it yet, just cook it and hang it on the wolf's neck, and then carve it and wear it when he has time. The clay pot is not big, it uses hot spring water, and I don't know what the effect is, I just want to know the answer, and if the water is gone, fill in the normal water, and I am not afraid of those things volatilizing.

Nie Ping finally read it piece by piece, and the final request was to buy it all, and Ouyang Xuan finally sold him 10 of what he thought was the best for 20 taels of gold. The popular thing in the Western Regions is gold, if he knows that he has at least more than 5,000 taels of gold, I don't know how this guy will react. The stone is a box, and there are three large boxes, two of which are full of gold, and one of them is a gold nugget and a stone that Ouyang Xuan thinks is good-looking, at least it is better than Nie Ping's pick, there are no fakes in this era, so as long as the color is good and transparent, it should be a good jade.

In the afternoon, the Dunhuang general brought 500 soldiers and rode over on horseback. Loulan Kingdom rarely fights, and the population is small, these soldiers saw this scene, and there were more than 50 people who didn't vomit, and the rest were either lying down in a clean place to relieve strong psychological reactions, or crawling and then vomiting. The Dunhuang general is estimated to be a nobleman, who has seen such a bloody scene, fainted directly, was carried to the sand house by Yi Cheng, while Nie Ping was there to see Shen Mu, and came to the scene with the white wolf, those soldiers saw the white wolf brothers and sisters, many of them urinated on the spot, or after Yi Cheng's explanation, it was better. There are such soldiers, no wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can play Loulan Kingdom to death, a good economic and trade prosperity Loulan Kingdom was made by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with various fraudulent means to make the national road fall, and the king will be changed in a few years. Even a Han envoy dared to kill the king and set up a new king. The generals and soldiers did not dare to move, and they could trick the king into going to Chang'an and kill him by deception. This dirty method naturally led to Loulan's final complete surrender to the Xiongnu, restricting the import of iron tools and horse breeds into the Central Plains, and the same was true for Qiuzi. (Nowadays, in the swearing words in Central Asia, many of them are used by the Han people to describe the black hearts of the people and the untrustworthy, the most famous is a word that has been circulated in Central Asia and Xinjiang for two thousand years: Uncle Hei, of course, is a transliteration, all ethnic groups have, Central Asian countries and Tangnu Wulianghai and other places have the same pronunciation to call the Han people, and the domestic Korean people are the same as the Goryeo stick, this word is the Qin and Han dynasties in the Western Regions equivalent to the current domestic Mandarin ancient Hui vocabulary, I will not translate, it is difficult to hear, in short, in Central Asia or Xinjiang someone calls you so, It's the same as when you call him a Goryeo stick in front of Koreans. ）

At night, there were only more than 200 people working, and the general was finally carried back to Dunhuang by the soldiers, and he vomited so much that he couldn't do it. When the final statistics came out, Ouyang Xuan's back was cold, there were more than 1,200 sand wolves, all of which were counted by tail, and the complete wolf corpses were less than 300. Those soldiers looked at Ouyang Xuanhe with the kind of extremely adoring eyes, and many people directly knelt down on one knee and kissed their shoes. The wolf carcass was dumped in a sand den 50 miles away, and the desert has since been known locally as the White Wolf Heap. The monster was skinned, weighed, cut into pieces, and sent to Dunhuang in batches for nitrate, because the Hun Hugh Tu King used 200 cattle to exchange for this monster. A blue stone weighing half a catty was found in the stomach of the monster, and was sent back to Dunhuang by the post man, and a Xiongnu Shan Yu warrior bought 50 cows, and the black sand was dug two meters to the sand nest 500 meters away, and the smell of blood was already very light at night. Yi Cheng specially built a large yurt for Ouyang Xuan, and he sent people to serve the horses and camels, and sent people to cut good forage on the river beach hundreds of miles away, which could be delivered the day after tomorrow.

The leftovers of the sunken wood, Nie Ping didn't mean to buy them, and there were not many large pieces. After three days of delicious food and drink by the crescent spring, the monster's teeth were almost dry. On the afternoon of the fourth day, in order to experience the feeling of the era of Mingsha Mountain, I climbed the sand mountain with the white wolf, slid down in sheepskin, and the voice was louder than that of later generations. Finally found a flute in Nie Ping, and the later generations of almost this is seven holes, found a good scale, practiced many times, found the feeling when he went to college, this time also brought the sand mountain, played a few tunes that he is good at, led to singing, he has been an orphan since he was a child, he has no nostalgia for his hometown, but he likes it here, if there is no war, there is no hostility, he prefers to live in this era of simplicity and faithfulness. After playing the guitar, I took out the flute and tried a few notes. Blowing his own "Shepherd Flute", followed by a song "Erquan Reflecting the Moon" changed by the instructor of the college band back then, I remembered my college life, I thought of my comrades-in-arms, I remembered my divorced wife, and I missed my son even more, those familiar faces flashed one by one, I don't know how you are on the other side of the five-dimensional space, and tears followed. The white wolf brothers and sisters were really human, listening quietly, and then lying on Ouyang Xuan's shoulder, licking the tears left behind with their tongues. After the song was blown, one man and two wolves sat quietly on the top of the mountain, looking at the blue crescent moon spring. Until the top of the moon, I patted Buick and Guli, picked up the flute and played a song "New Song of Herdsmen" and "Partridge Flying", the boldness of the grassland and the soothing of the south of the Yangtze River were soothed. With the rise of the moon, I ended today's performance with a song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", which was still changed by the instructor back then. Although the audience only has two white wolves, the two guys will howl in the ** part of the music. When the music ended, the two wolf howls were regarded as a compliment to Ouyang Xuan. In fact, there are a lot of viewers today, there are merchants passing by here, there are also guys at the post station, there are also the envoys of the Huns who came to hand over cattle and sheep to the post man, as well as people from all over the world who passed here, etc., the legend of one man and two wolves spread all over the Western Regions, the Huns, the border passes of the Han land, especially the song "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", which made many people who heard this song cry, and also became a hidden wound behind the mysterious envoy who was hotly discussed.

Two pieces of sheepskin were thrown on the sand slope, and the white wolf was so excited that he howled at the moon, plunged down the slope, bit the sheepskin, and lay on it with his whole body, and rowed to the crescent moon spring with a rumbling sound, Ouyang Xuan sat on the sheepskin and followed closely, and when the rumble sounded, it was also a long howl. He went down the sand hill and put away the sheepskin. Guli opens the road in front, Buick breaks in the back, it can't go fast, it can't go slow, it's even worse if it's slow, Guli will use its big ass to block the route you overtake, go slowly, Buick's head will come up, and you can only follow their rhythm and walk back to the yurt.

Tomorrow is about to leave again, Yi Cheng found two caravans, Ouyang Xuan vetoed them, and all the people hired by Nie finally arrived yesterday, there are a total of 200 people, most of which are rangers hired by the Han land. This time, they went to many countries in Loulan separately, sold and purchased, and gathered the Xiongnu in Dunhuang to return to the Han land, and Ouyang Xuan planned to go back with them. Yi Cheng made a lot of money this time, and gave Ouyang Xuan a peak of camels and a 10 catties of special mutton fat jade, Nie Ping wanted to buy it, but was vetoed by Ouyang Xuan, this he wanted to keep it, he could carve whatever he wanted, and carving this job was as simple as eating for himself. After packing up everything and checking it again. Under the oil lamp, the white wolf collar that has been almost done made the final carving, using monster skin, when peeling the skin, Ouyang Xuan and Yi Cheng asked for a piece of the neck, the skin is very thick, and the texture is also good, so that Yi Cheng found someone to cook it and cut it into a finger wide strip of leather, cut off the length slightly longer than the circumference of the white wolf's neck, and carved a tooth tray with sunken wood leftovers and threaded it onto the belt, and the belt buckle was made of sunken wood buckle. The belt is engraved with the names of himself and the wolf, filled in the gaps with maple leaves and birch trees. I'm done with the monster tooth in the tray today. It was already the middle of the night after finishing the work, so I put it on the white wolf brothers and sisters, seeing that the two of them liked it quite much, and licked the monster teeth when they were fine, and then turned around twice in front of Ouyang Xuan before going to sleep.

The farewell in the morning is also spectacular, the director of Dunhuang and the general are here, because they do not go to Dunhuang Town, but set off directly along the edge of Sanwei Mountain to the northern foot of Qilian Mountain, and then go east, Ouyang Xuan has a wolf skin for customs clearance, which is easy to use in places other than Han Land, and there is no need to go to Dunhuang for customs clearance. Now the Han people know that the country of Wusun is only a merchant at the bottom of the society, and the people above still worship the way of their ancestors. After the backs of Ouyang Xuan and his entourage disappeared into the sand beam in the distance, the Huns also hurriedly rode away.

There are not many roads to walk in the desert, and I will go out of the desert in one day, enter the barren beach next door, and camp on the Gobi Desert at night. Ouyang Xuan is still his own tent, which is simple to use, and Ouyang Xuan's horses and camels have been arranged to be served by special personnel, which also saves a lot of trouble. In the evening, he chatted with Nie Ping over milk tea for a while, played a few songs on the guitar, and then everyone went to sleep, Ouyang Xuan asked the night guard to go to sleep first, and he did it for him, he hadn't stood guard for a long time, and he had a good time today, carrying swords on his back, fully armed, wandering back and forth in the camp with the white wolf brothers and sisters, and raiding Buick or Guli from time to time to train their reactions.

When the substitute woke up at night, it was already close to midnight, and on the way back to the tent, he turned on his headlights and scanned the distance. Found in the south there are white eyes reflective, it is really primitive ecology, everywhere is dangerous at night, I don't know what kind of beast, here is the Gobi, very close to Qilian Mountain, just at the mouth of the valley of Qilian Mountain, if you follow the route designed by Ouyang Xuan, enter the valley, take the mountain road, enter the Qiang land through Hara Lake, pass through Qinghai Lake, and enter Longxi. Now there are so many people that they can only follow. reminded the Ranger on duty of the night of the location to the south, and saw that he didn't care. I can only stare at it myself, and after a while, the figure gradually approached, and when the night ranger found out that something was wrong, the beast was already very close, and Ouyang Xuan saw clearly at this time that it was a snow leopard, probably going down the mountain to find prey, and the smell here attracted it. Seeing that the snow leopard was about to accelerate, he quickly picked up the crossbow and wound the arrows, aimed at the leopard's head, calculated the amount in advance and shot out. After firing the crossbow arrows, hang the crossbow and draw the sword and rush straight to the snow leopard, because the distance is too far, the wind is strong in the Gobi Desert, the crossbow arrow did not hit the head, but shot the neck, the arrow penetrated to the other side, lying on the ground and poured gas, stepped forward and stabbed the snow leopard in the head by raising the sword, there was no difficulty in less than a minute to completely die. He took out the crossbow arrow, wiped it clean, looked at the frightened ranger who was standing less than 5 meters away from the snow leopard, and patted him on the shoulder. If I had finished shooting for a few more seconds just now, the consequences would have been hard to say. The snow leopard's sneak attack was very powerful, silent, and a fatal blow, and it was estimated that the end was that the ranger's neck was bitten off and then dragged away.

Go back and find out the Hanfu that Loulan bought, and you have to wear it tomorrow, enter the Xiongnu territory, and still be an honest businessman. Before she could sleep, Gu Li took her head from its tiger skin nest and arched the tent, quickly turned on the headlamp, pulled the tent, Gu Li ran over, dragged her sleeves, and then looked at a low hill on the southeast side. The headlamp is swept away, and there are many pairs of eyes that reflect white light under the eyes, what is it? In the moonlight, it was too far away to see clearly, and it didn't seem to be a beast of prey, these animals seemed to have noticed something, and began to run towards the mountain, the posture was too familiar, a herd of argali. Catching argali on this moonlit night is not the same as playing, just do it. Let Guli and Buick honestly look at the nest, find two long ropes and go out, say to the night watchman, turn off the headlights, and run wildly in the direction of the argali.

In less than an hour, he came back with 6 argali, and the night ranger's eyes when he looked at Ouyang Xuan could no longer be described as worship, he picked a small argali, pulled it out, and wanted to slaughter the barbecue as a reward for Gu Li, but it was seen that the guy had lost interest in the argali, and he was about to fall asleep without even looking at it. Keep it for the morning. The horns of the argali, with ropes, were tied to the horses.

This kind of camping in the wild in arid areas with horses and camels, no one will get up early to hurry, they will wait for the sun to rise, get up, prepare meals, and do not start eating until the third pole of the sun, and when the dew is all gone, they will pack up their things and set off. It's the same today, Ouyang Xuan was woken up by the noise, hurriedly put on the fleece**, camouflage pants, put on a Hanfu coat, and got out of the tent, before Ouyang Xuan tied his belt, he was already a group of rangers who couldn't get through it, and they were gossiping about how to catch the argali. This can't be said, and besides, you don't have enough speed and no tools. Fasten the belt and buckle your multi-functional belt, and then look for the white wolf brother and sister, I don't know where to run, ignore those fly-like rangers, whistle, the brother and sister rushed over. The rangers were still frightened of them, and quickly dispersed, each going about his own work.

Give the argali, find someone to be responsible for driving, and slaughter it at night. When the sun had begun to shine on the skin and felt a little hot, the brigade began to set off, and five or six miles ahead was the land of the Xiongnu Youxian King. There is a wolf skin to clear the customs, but it is also smooth all the way, and the Huns do not have too much difficulty. The small tribes collected some gold on the roads of their own realms, and let them go.

After walking for more than 20 days, the argali, in the end, left a big head, because Ouyang Xuan had a hunch. And this premonition is now in front of you, a 200-strong Xiongnu army, and the three Xiongnu generals in front of the team are 500 meters in front of the team.
