It's a long journey, but it's much longer and more boring than the one that Baimo takes. www.biquge.info The long trek on the prairie is like a sailor sailing on the endless sea, full of ambition at first, the outline of the sea makes people's body and mind open, and the gentle sea breeze makes people feel refreshed. But in a few days, the turbulence of the sea will make people tired, every day is an endless blue, making people dizzy, and the sailors at this time generally have only one wish left, to dock! Women have become boring for them, and there is only one thing left in the world, and that is land.

Li XII now missed the scenery and cities of the Central Plains immensely, and he even began to understand why the steppe people always tried to invade the Central Plains, even if they almost never won.

Even Xiao He and Tuoba Qiuyan, who were born and raised on the grassland, have begun to become more and more absent-minded in recent days, occasionally starting to get angry or look gloomy without warning.

It's a long road.

And it's space.

The place where they set out was the Monan grassland in the north of Yunzhong County, all the way to the northwest, and in the beginning there were still some shepherds occasionally, and they could see herds of cattle and sheep, and herds of horses, but now, except for the grassland, there were only a few of them around. I haven't seen anyone else in days.

"How far is it?"

Tuoba Qiuyan's eyes looked muddy.

Xiao He said in a low tone: "It's very early." ”

The answer was exactly the same as many days ago.

But maybe the journey is too boring, this time Xiao He said a few more words, he raised the horsewhip in his hand, and pointed to the west: "In the far west, there is an endless sea, and on the east side of the sea, there are countless barbarian tribes, of course, we will not go that far, to the east of the land of those barbarians, is the territory of the new khan, he conquered more than a dozen rich kingdoms there, killed two-thirds of their men, and the remaining one-third as slaves, got all their women, It is distributed to everyone who has made meritorious contributions in the war. The rich part of the land is as big as the Great Jin in the Central Plains, the barren part is as big as the grassland in the desert north, the north is bordered by the Stygian Sea, the south is next to Persia, and we are separated from there by a distance from the south to the north of the Great Jin, can you imagine? ”

Tuoba Qiuyan's expression became sluggish when he heard this.

Li Twelve's face was expressionless.

Xiao He continued: "I can't imagine it either, because I haven't been there yet. Whether or not you will be able to successfully contribute to the new Khan is still unknown. However, this mission is my greatest opportunity Xiao He, to be the first messenger in the east to see the new Khan, it is simply a great creation, and I must complete it. ”

Tuoba Qiuyan pursed his lips: "You used to be a person who seemed very smart, but now you are crazy. ”

Xiao He said coldly: "Otherwise? Disobey orders? Then I will be killed right away, and then another person will carry out this task. Is there a shortage of people in the grasslands? No, there is no shortage of people at all. And I'm just one of the White Deer Emissaries, and there are many more Emissaries on this mission, but I'm the first to complete it, and I'll be the first to get there. ”

Xiao He said, turned back to those servants and said, "You guys should listen well." The place we are about to arrive at is extremely rich, as long as this task is completed, the golden beauty, indispensable to you, will give Lao Tzu a starting spirit, don't be like a dead mother-in-law every day. ”

A servant said weakly: "Shouldn't it be a happy thing to die a mother-in-law?" ”

"You're smart! Shut up! Look at how many days the rest of the water and jerky will last. ”

One of the servants said, "The White Deer Envoy is still enough for four days. ”

"If I remember correctly, there will be more water in front of me. You all save some money for Lao Tzu, and from now on, everyone's water and food will be halved. In addition to our tribute - don't stare at me like you kid, I'll also subtract it! ”

Xiao He yelled, and his mood was much more relaxed.

Tuoba autumn geese are even more depressed.

Li Twelve began to get itchy hands.

Is there no master on the grassland except for Dugu Kuaizai? If there is, come with one, no, it's enough to have a bunch of them!

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Suddenly dust and sand flew in the distance.

Gradually, it got bigger and bigger - this is definitely not some kind of natural landscape, they didn't go from the Western Regions, this is not a desert, there will be no such thing as a sandstorm. So the only thing that can be explained, and that is the scene created by life, is the army? Or a horse thief?

Li Twelve pinched the hilt of the knife.

Xiao He roared angrily: "What do you want to do? ”

"Look ahead."

Xiao He glanced forward and also found the piece of dust.

"Is it the Khan's army?"

Li Twelve shook his head: "It's not." ”

The sand and dust were approaching, and Li Twelve finally saw clearly what that group of things were—it was people, Xiao He guessed half right, it was a person and an army, but it was obviously not an army of khans. The group of people were all tall, taller than the Central Plains, and their complexion was as white as lime, which was certainly not the color of a healthy state. They drove chariots, and instead of the usual riders, swordsmen, and archers, they were crammed with people, almost unable to ride. Their hair is mostly black, with a small amount of brown hair mixed with them. Li Twelve couldn't see their faces clearly, but he was almost certain that it was a group of defeated troops.

Li Twelve suddenly shouted, "Run!" ”

Xiao He didn't question him, he immediately gave an order, the same as Li Twelve said, that is, to run. This kind of hungry defeated army is very dangerous, especially when suddenly encountering a handful of people with water and food, if they don't run in time to be chased by them, the outcome can be imagined, Li Twelve and the others will definitely be torn to pieces by them, and in the process of fighting for food and water, the people inside them will also fight each other.

The crowd hurried up.

The group of defeated soldiers also discovered them and chased them in the direction where Li Twelve and the others had fled. Fortunately, they were destined not to catch up with Li Twelve and the others, they were driving chariots, how could they catch up with the light cavalry? Moreover, their tanks have long been overloaded.

Li Twelve and the others fled in time, and the distance between the two sides became farther and farther, and finally the group of people could no longer be seen. Li Twelve breathed a sigh of relief, his hands were itchy, yes, but no matter how strong a person's strength is, in front of hundreds of thousands of people, it is also fish and meat rather than a sword, maybe Liu Rufeng, who is proficient in medicine and illusion, can rely on those external forces to defeat a hundred, but that is not martial arts, after all, it is an external force.

But another figure appeared in front of everyone.

The figure was even taller, the Central Plains people were generally seven feet tall, and the man was close to nine feet, with short hair like a monk who had just been a monk for two months, and his face was full of beard, which hung directly down to his chest.

When the man saw the clothes on Li Twelve's body, he was shocked, and then said, "Brother, borrow water and grass rations." ”

Li Twelve was also a little surprised.

What he said was actually the Central Plains language, with a strong Fengjing accent!

Xiao He frowned and said, "What did he say?" ”

Li Twelve said expressionlessly: "What else can it be, ask for our grain and grass." ”

Xiao He was silent for a moment, and was about to speak, but was blocked back by Li Twelve in an instant: "You'd better not try to let your subordinates die in vain, this person, give me the feeling...... It's dangerous. ”

Finally, the chance to try your hand has come!

The big man with the beard spoke again: "Brother, borrow water and grass rations!" You are from the Central Plains, and I don't want to kill you. ”

Li Twelve drew the long knife at his waist.

"If you want water plants, ask me if I can do it!"

The big man shook his head helplessly.

Li Twelve jumped off the pony and suddenly rushed towards the big man.

Dahan did not draw his weapon.

When the blade was about to cut off the big man's head, the big man's body was short, and his arm struck straight at Li Twelve's heart in a very strange posture. Li Twelve's expression changed three times in an instant, and he also struck at the heart of the big man with the hand that was not holding the knife. Although the movements of the two are different, their temperaments seem to be one at this moment.

"Who are you?!"

"Who are you?!"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

Both hands were retracted, and their bodies pulled apart again.

"My name is Li Twelve."

Dahan frowned and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"Do you recognize Bai Zheng's injury?"

Dahan said thoughtfully: "No." ”

Li Twelve shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm wrong." ”

Dahan nodded.

"Do you want to fight?"

"Of course!"

Li Twelve rushed forward again and swung out with a sword.

Dahan punched Li 12 in the chest.

It's too fast.

And...... Li Twelve always felt that the movements of this big man were indescribably mysterious.

But it seemed so simple.

The two continued to fight, going back and forth for dozens of times, the big man did not use all his strength, he was still observing Li Twelve, Li Twelve was the same, and Li Twelve had more and more the upper hand. No matter how powerful the big man is, no matter how conceited he takes the white blade empty-handed, no matter how he thinks about it, it is an act of looking for death.

At this time, Xiao He only felt that the scene in front of him was a bit beyond common sense.

Is this really a scene of human attacks? Xiao He had never seen Li Twelve's divine power in the Tuoba tribe, so he naturally experienced the same mood as Tuoba. Xiao He has now determined that if Li Twelve didn't want to come by himself, with a few of his subordinates, and those people from the Tuoba tribe combined, he would definitely not be able to keep him.

Tuoba Qiuyan's eyes regained their energy.

"His movements...... It's so beautiful......"

The further back in this showdown stage, the tighter the brows of both sides of the showdown become.

Li Twelve found that he seemed to have been taking the initiative, but his realm was much worse than the other party. In martial arts, there is an indescribable thing, called artistic conception, which is not something like fairy magic metaphysics, but something that lies in comprehension, just like learning to blow the flute, whether the sound can be blown full and round, and the light and fine adjustment of the angle and the weight of the breath This kind of thing that can be said is useless, only with long-term practice, you can really get started. Artistic conception is such a thing, it is not a tangible entity, and the root is not in the movement, not even in the discipline, but in every subtle change of the body.

That big man is obviously a person who has comprehended the artistic conception.

This kind of person, if he wants to defect to the imperial court, will not be treated badly anywhere.

And he was in the midst of a rout.

The big man frowned, but it was for another reason.

It's too similar......

Li Twelve's movements hardly have any fixed routines, but there is a macro routine in it, or the road, in it. This kind of road number is too similar to someone in the memory of the big man. He also secretly learned a little bit of the man's martial arts, so when they first fought, they were both surprised.

The big man pulled out his waist knife.

Dahan's eyes seemed to be bloodshot in an instant.

He let out a loud shout.

"Truth !!!"

Unstoppable, the will to be fierce and resolute suddenly broke out.

Li Twelve felt an endless chill.

"Heartbreaking!"

"Qiang !!!"

A long knife spun in the air countless times, and finally plunged straight into the ground.

The blade is straight.

It was Li Twelve's knife.

Li Twelve said unwillingly: "I lost." ”

Dahan shook his head: "You are very strong, when I was the same age as you, I was 108,000 miles behind you." ”

"If you lose, you lose, what happens next, whatever you want."

Dahan Yao pointed to Xiao He, who was already stunned.

"I want water and grass rations. But, I've decided to leave you a part. And when you went westward, about thirty miles, there was a little river, the water of which was so clear that it was full of fish, and it did not kill you with hunger. ”

"Why don't you take it?"

"It's run out. And we're going east, and we can't go back. ”

"Who the hell are you? Why do you know ......? Swallow the Golden Treasure Basket? ”

Dahan wondered: "This is also my doubt, why do you know Master Bai's martial arts?" ”

"Master Bai?"

"It's called white ink."

Li Twelve was stunned and said, "Do you know Brother Bai?" My God, this is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, I am a brother who has played with Bai Mo since I was a child, his father is my cheap master, he is now my righteous brother and top boss, I came here on the orders of Bai Mo. ”

The big man smiled bitterly: "Who told you not to say anything, just come up and fight?" This is not a well-intentioned gesture. ”

Li Twelve said embarrassedly: "I've been holding it for too long, it's really itchy, I'm sorry." I don't know the name of the eldest brother? ”

The big man laughed and said, "My name is Darius...... Forget it, I know this name is very awkward, you can just call me Big Furnace with other Central Plains people. ”

"Big stove...... I've heard of you...... Twelve kills, one product and eighth, the first warrior of Persia? ”

"It's my family."

"Why are you here?"

"It's a long story, it's a long story short. After I parted with Master Bai, I returned to my homeland all the way west, and was ordered by the prince to crusade against the princes who were in rebellion, but the stinky and shameless Alishandeer, taking advantage of the civil turmoil in my family, led a group of bandits to kill from west to east, and other thieves who wanted to share the spoils with him gathered together with him, and took him as the king, so that it snowballed bigger and bigger, and I led an army of more than 20,000 people, and fought a decisive battle with it outside the city of Persepolis. This is going to the east, and the destination is you Wei Wei Dajin, who is going to move rescue troops to His Majesty the Great Emperor! (To be continued.) )
