Cheng Yanjin did not lose his plate axe in the end, and he redeemed his beloved big axe in time with the tenacity and fish gall of the dragon's spine kun.

Zhang Xuan was actually just joking with him, he still felt that Cheng Jin's sixty-pound axe was a little lighter, and he should use a seventy-pound weapon.

At this time, Zhang Xuan rode on a horse and played with the fish tendon about three feet long, he thought that it would be as thick as a cow's tendon and could be used as a whip, but the tendon was very thin, similar to the line, which slightly disappointed him.

However, this fish tendon is extremely tough and elastic, and it is indeed the best material for making bowstrings.

Jag Hyun put the fish tendon into the horse bag and sped up the horse to run towards the front team.

The eastbound team set off again, heading east along the water, perhaps because of the first breakthrough in his strength, his eyes could see farther and his hearing became sharper.

But at this time, he fell into deep thought, until Li Jing interrupted his deep thought.

"Zhang Gongzi is still thinking about yesterday?" Li Jing smiled and walked side by side with him.

Zhang Xuan nodded, "I was thinking about the trap you said yesterday, will it trap us too?" ”

"The trap of the Turks is not directed against us, but against the Eastern Alliance of Tieler."

Li Jing glanced at Zhang Xuan, smiled and said, "The so-called Tiele Eastern Alliance is the alliance of the three major tribes of Hui, Fugu and Bayegu, so that the Turks have never dared to attack them, so the Turks used this batch of armor as bait to divide their three alliances. ”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "This is the two peach killing the three soldiers!" ”

"That's right! As long as one of them swallows this batch of armor alone, it will cause serious dissatisfaction among the other two, and the alliance will be broken, this is a very clever strategy, and the Turks have masters! ”

"Is it Shi Shu Huxi?"

Zhang Xuan thought that in history, the Sui Dynasty went to great lengths to kill this person, which showed that he was a great threat to the Sui Dynasty, and only a strategist of this level would have such a clever strategy.

Li Jing nodded, "It should be him, he is the confidant and advisor of Shibi Khan." ”

Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment and then asked, "If you find that batch of armor, what are you going to do with it?" ”

Zhang Xuan has been thinking about this matter for the past two days, what can they do even if they find the armor, as many as 300,000 pieces, can they transport it back to Dasui?

"The order given to me by the master of the meeting is that we will find a way to transport it back to the Great Sui, and if it doesn't work, we will destroy it."

"What if you can't find them?" Jang Hyun's gaze sharpened.

Li Jing shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, Wuchuan Mansion's orders never leave room for each. ”

"What about the gentleman's thoughts?"

Zhang Xuan continued to ask: "Don't talk about Wuchuan Mansion, just talk about Mr. himself." ”

Li Jing was silent, he didn't answer Zhang Xuan, but he asked in a low voice, "Why are you thinking about this?" ”

Zhang Xuan looked at the long white clouds in the distance, and said slowly: "I don't know how many years the Great Sui has to live, and I don't know which dynasty it will be in the future, but one thing I know very well, I am a Han Chinese, and I will never leave them to other races, which is why I agreed to follow you." ”

Zhang Xuan looked at Li Jing again and said: "I know that the bluestone scripture was actually given to me by the master of the Dou Society, and I also know that it was the careful arrangement of the master of the Dou Society to let me come to the grassland, and he must have something to ask me, since I accepted the bluestone scripture, I should agree to his request, can Mr. tell me, what does the master of the Dou Society need me to do?" ”

Li Jing laughed, "Master Dou said that you would definitely take the initiative to mention this matter, and sure enough, he said it, but you are very lucky, his conditions are exactly what you want to do." ”

"Sir, you mean destroy those armors?"

Li Jing nodded silently, in fact, he didn't plan to do so

The journey was extremely monotonous and boring, as if they were standing still in front of a painting, forever endless rivers and identical grasslands, the freshness of the beginning had long since been lost, only unbearable boredom, and everyone fell silent.

Two days later, in the evening, they finally saw a forest, and the things in front of them were a little new, and everyone was in good spirits, and they sped up their horses and ran towards the forest.

Everyone camped in front of the forest, Wei Chigong and several guards went hunting in the forest, Zhang Xuan came to the other side of the river, chose a place far away from the forest, and crossed his legs into meditation.

Soon, he entered a state of self-forgetfulness, completely forgetting his existence, and his thoughts flew thousands of miles, wandering in the starry sky.

I don't know how long later, he was suddenly awakened by a fierce splash of water, as if someone was violently slapping the water, the sound came from dozens of steps to the east, Zhang Xuan stood up, and walked briskly along the dark river towards the sound of water.

He heard another scream, it was clearly a young woman's voice, there was a kind of pain in the voice, Zhang Xuan quickened his pace and ran, and soon he saw that in the middle of the river, a man and a fish were fighting fiercely in the water, judging from the huge size, the giant fish was the dragon's spine kun he had encountered two days ago, even bigger and more ferocious than the one he had encountered.

And the person who was fighting with the dragon's spine kun was at a disadvantage, as if one arm had been bitten, judging by her slender figure and exposed white skin, it was a young girl.

She held a dagger in her hand, and the end of the dagger plunged into the dragon's spine kun's body, making it even more violent, opening its sharp teeth and biting indiscriminately, the girl was obviously overwhelmed, but she still stubbornly grabbed the dragon's spine kun's arrow fin.

Zhang Xuan knew the ferocity of this fish, this was no longer the consequence of catching it, but being eaten by it, Zhang Xuan did not think about it, pulled out his knife and jumped into the river

In a moment, Zhang Xuan swam ashore with the girl who was already in a semi-comatose state, and the ferocious dragon's spine Kun seemed to refuse to leave, and the demonstration generally opened a row of white Sensen's teeth to Zhang Xuan, and then swam into the depths of the river and disappeared.

The girl was dressed in leather armor and tight breeches, wet against her skin, she looked very slender, she looked at her age of fourteen or fifteen years old, her skin was slightly dark, full of elasticity and luster, and her waterfall-like hair was scattered over her shoulders, which made her full of a wild charm.

Perhaps because of the injury and overdraft, she did not wake up immediately, the leather armor of the left arm guard had been torn by the sharp mouth of the dragon's spine kun, a little blurred flesh and blood, Zhang Xuan took out the wound medicine from his own leather bag, carefully sprinkled the medicine powder on her wound, and tore off a placket to bandage her.

The girl slowly woke up and found a strange young man sitting beside her, so frightened that she immediately sat up, took a few steps back in horror, and had an extra dagger in her hand, staring at Zhang Xuan fiercely and vigilantly.

"I'll get you out of the water!"

Seeing that she didn't seem to understand her words, Jang Hyun got up and made a gesture to indicate that he was fighting the strange fish, and then rescued her from the water.

The girl suddenly remembered something, stood up and rushed to the river, the dragon's spine kun was gone, her eyes were full of despair, and she turned back to look at Zhang Xuan angrily.

She suddenly screamed, raised a dagger and stabbed at Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan grabbed her wrist and pulled it, and the girl stumbled and fell on the river beach.

Zhang Xuan was also a little angry, he saved her, not only did he not know how to repay her, but he wanted to assassinate himself, but it was just a fish, did she hate herself like this?

The girl slowly stood up, stared blankly at the river, a pair of black and white eyes actually shed a line of tears, she suddenly covered her face and turned to run towards the depths of the grassland.

Zhang Xuan chased a few steps and stopped, she should be someone from a nearby tribe, there is no need to worry about anything, Zhang Xuan also faintly felt that that dragonspine kun might be very important to her, so she would die like that, and lose her temper like that.

"Zhang Gongzi!"

Chai Shao's shout came from the other side of the river, "What's going on?" ”

"Nothing, I'm coming!" Jang Hyun picked up the items on the ground and jumped into the river to swim to the other side.

Everyone gathered in a circle in front of the campfire, munching on the golden venison, and Jang Hyun sat down with a smile, "I can smell the fragrance from afar." ”

Wei Chigong cut off a piece of roasted meat and handed it to him, "Childe, this piece is good." ”

"Thank you!"

Zhang Xuan picked up the wine jug next to him and poured two sips, the spicy milk wine with a fishy smell warmed his body a lot, Li Shentong saw the blood stains on Zhang Xuan's body and asked, "Zhang Gongzi, did something happen just now?" ”

"I met a young lady and was almost killed by her."

Hearing that there was a little girl, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but whistle, salivating and laughing: "Why was the son almost killed, did he want to misbehave?" ”

Jang Hyun picked up the flask and threw it at him, "Shut your stinky mouth!" ”

At this time, Li Jing said thoughtfully: "If she is single, it means that there is a tribe nearby, and we don't have a clue anyway, so it is better to go to the tribe to inquire about the news and see if there are any clues." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, "I think the same way, but the tribe should be in the north, we have so many livestock, how can we cross the river?" ”

"This is not a big problem, the water in this area is bent rapidly, and there should be a shallow place to wade through it."

Sure enough, as Li Jing expected, they walked more than ten miles the next day, and sure enough, they came across a shallow place, the river was only up to their waists, and everyone led the war horses and camels across the river and headed northeast.

But less than two miles away, more than a dozen men on horseback rushed towards them, blocking their way, and a dozen Hu people were quite young, both men and women.

Jang Hyun recognized one of the girls, who was the person he rescued in the river last night, and saw her wearing a garland on her head, wearing a red brocade short coat, and a long black skirt with gold trim underneath, her skin was slightly dark, but her big eyes were black and white, which was quite moving.

Zhang Xuan knew that they were looking for him, and immediately urged the horse to meet him, and the girl saw Zhang Xuan, pointed at him and said a few words to a tall young man next to him, and the young man stepped forward to salute Zhang Xuan respectfully, I don't know what he was saying, but his tone was quite sincere.

Wei Chigong stepped forward and whispered to Zhang Xuan: "He's saying thank you for saving his sister's life." ”

Zhang Xuan's heart was relieved, and a smile appeared on his face, it seems that this little lady still knows how to do it, knowing that she saved her, he returned the salute and smiled: "The effort of the hand is not enough to worry about, please don't take it to heart." ”

Wei Chigong translated the past, the man was greatly moved, and said a few more words, Wei Chigong smiled: "He said that their tribe is not far from here, and we are welcome to be guests, and if there are goods, they can also accept them." ”

Zhang Xuan looked back at everyone, and saw that everyone's eyes showed eager eyes, after walking for more than ten days, everyone was very tired, eager to go to the grassland tribe as a guest, Zhang Xuan was not polite, and said happily: "Then bother!" ”

Wei Chigong translated, more than a dozen young men and women cheered, warmly stepped forward to greet them, and took out fresh mare's milk wine to welcome the guests, although the language barrier, but their enthusiasm and sincerity made everyone's hearts warm, and soon everyone became familiar with it
