Li Shimin instinctively wound his bow and arrows, and the group of vigorous and fierce Guanlong warriors who followed him also bent their bows and arrows one by one, aiming at the direction of the sound, only to see a frightened sika deer, jumped up from the snow, jumped, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest after three or two strokes.

The tense strings of everyone were loosened all of a sudden, and when it sounded just now, three horses rushed to Feng Lun's front like lightning, and the big shield half a man high on three sides suddenly blocked Feng Lun's body, so tight that not even a trace of wind penetrated in.

Li Shimin's brows were still deeply locked, he jumped off the horse, lay on the ground, picked his hand twice on the ice, cleared a space, his ears were on the ground, listened intently for a while, and then jumped up with a smile and said: "It's okay, there is no ambush in the forest, everyone can lift their guard." ”

He turned his head to look at the three shields: "General Shi, it's hard work." ”

The three shields were slowly removed, and Ashina Danai, who was wearing a leather helmet and had a big beard on his face, smiled slightly: "It's not hard, it's a matter of duty." ”

After the last time Ashina Danai was framed by Yuwen Chengdu, Chu Luo Khan was afraid of Yuwenshu's power, and he didn't dare to say a word of justification for Ashina Danai, which broke the heart of the first warrior of the Western Turks, and afterwards he was pardoned by Yang Guang, and since then he has cut off his hair and righteousness with Chu Luo Khan, Tang Guogong Li Yuan witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and immediately gave him a heavy gift, Ashina Danai was moved, and became the Li family's pro-soldier song, and changed the surname of Ashina to Shi, in order to show that he has become a Han man in the Central Plains since then, No longer walk as a Turk.

This time, Li Shimin escorted Feng Lun to travel far away, and Shi Danai also volunteered. Say you grow on the prairie. How much can help. Li Shimin was worried about the lack of manpower around him, so he took Shi Danai with him and instructed him not to leave Feng Lun's left and right, and he must protect him thoroughly.

Shi Danai put down his shield and said, "Second son, you have been a little too cautious along the way, in fact, I have always sent people to reconnoiter in front and on both sides, if there are ambushes." I could have found out a long time ago. ”

Li Shimin shook his head, a pair of shining eyes, heroic, he shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "We are definitely ambushed along the way, since Wang Shichong has said such cruel words and carefully arranged this trip, then it is impossible to be indifferent, maybe he thinks the territory of the Khitans." It's not a good opportunity to do it, after all, there are Khitan cavalry guards all the way. He doesn't have a large army, and he can't take advantage of hundreds of killers. It's just that we're about to enter the Begi area, and the mountains are high and densely forested, and I think that's when it's the most dangerous. ”

The corners of Tu Diji's mouth hooked, and he said with a smile: "Second son Li, don't worry too much, the white mountains and black waters, the deep mountains and old forests are the hometown where our Beji people have lived for thousands of years, you have to say that on this grassland, it is still possible to be ambushed, but as long as you enter this black forest, hehe, no matter how many foreign killers he has, it is no problem!" ”

Li Shimin didn't answer, turned over on his horse, and said lightly: "Before returning to the end of the Su part of the Turk chieftain, everything should not be careless, everyone still has to pay attention to 120,000 points!" ”

The guards on the left and right shouted "No" in unison.

At this moment, a dull drum suddenly sounded in the forest, followed by the sound of horses stepping on the snow, shaking the heavens and the earth, accompanied by the whistling north wind, everyone heard it really, and dozens of birds of prey circled in the sky, much larger than the common harrier eagles (small) and falcon eagles (large and medium-sized) in the Central Plains, their wings were spread, and they were five or six feet wide.

Chai Shao came on horseback and shouted: "Erlang, there is an enemy attack, fight quickly!" ”

Li Shimin's brows furrowed, shook his head, and waved his hand: "No, these should not be enemy soldiers, but friends, everyone stay vigilant, don't shoot your bow and arrows casually, violators will be dealt with by military law!" ”

The dozens of guards who had already drawn their bows and put feather arrows on them put down their bows and arrows after hearing this, and Feng Lunqi said: "Shimin, what does this mean? Even the envoy could hear that the enemy was approaching, and there were so many birds of prey in the air, how did you know that they were friends and foes? ”

Li Shimin smiled slightly, pointed to the more than fifty giant eagles flying in the sky, and said: "Saibei eagles, not so huge, these are obviously not grassland varieties, I heard that in the white mountains and black waters, in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, there is a super-large bird of prey, named Haidongqing, only the Beji tribe can tame it, as an auxiliary thing when hunting, those horses are rushed out of the forest, just now the Turk chief said, the white mountains and black water, the deep mountains and dense forests are their territory, and there will never be outsiders in it, Therefore, these hundreds of horsemen must not be enemies, but the Turian chieftain has arranged the tribal soldiers and horses here to welcome us early. ”

Tudi Ji laughed: "The second son is really smart, yes, it is Hai Dongqing at the end of our Su that flies in the sky, and this bird is even coveted by the Turkic Great Khan, and he wants our Beji tribe to pay tribute." It's a pity that these birds have a fierce temperament, and they only recognize the owners who have domesticated them since childhood, and once the young birds leave the white mountains and black waters, it is extremely difficult to survive, so even the Turkic tribes, known as a generation of Tianjiao, are difficult to see better birds of prey than Haidongqing on the grassland. ”

Li Shimin sighed regretfully: "Actually, I originally wanted to raise one, but after seeing Hai Dongqing this time, this feeling is even stronger, alas, it doesn't seem to have this fate!" ”

A smell of the zoo quickly got into everyone's noses, and the shadowy riders could already be seen in the forest in the distance, everyone unconsciously sniffled, and secretly said in their hearts: "Sure enough, it's Beji people, the wind stinks for ten miles, and even this ice and snow can't hide their breath." ”

A sound of horses' hooves sounded, dozens of high-headed horses dressed in animal skins, stepping out of the snow from the forest, the horses' hooves were wrapped in thick fur covers, as if the horses were put on small shoes, and the four hooves were excited, bringing up bursts of snow, looking from a distance, as if they were stepping on the glacier.

The Beji riders on the horses were completely different from these Central Plains envoys, they were not tightly wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside like them, most of them were wearing only a jacket, and both arms were exposed, coated with thick grease, and in addition to exuding a foul smell, the bronze skin and strong muscles also clearly revealed a strong bravery and strength. Their foreheads were almost shaved, but the tails of tigers and leopards were stuck in the back of their heads, and their faces were painted with oil paint, like fierce gods. (To be continued.) )
