Chapter 103: Thoughts
Fengxue hugged the cat, holding the horn cup in one hand, taking a sip from time to time, and his eyes stayed on Huai Zong's resolute face. Huai Zong smiled, but didn't look at her, just kept raising his glass to Dou Gui, and said some gossip without boundaries, from astronomy and geography to Hu ** vulgar, all-encompassing, and his tone was casual and respectful.
Dou Gui met Dou Wei on the way to Ningcheng, and was very surprised to learn that Dun Wu rushed out surrounded by more than 100 guards and more than 50 crossbows. He was too young, when Dunwu left the Dou family, he didn't have an impression, but he heard from a young person that the Dou family once had a guest, and his martial arts were so strong that they were almost mythical, including masters like Dou Hu, he had long wanted to meet and see if this person was really so powerful, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity.
Hearing the news now is enough to convince him of the real surnames of those legends. He couldn't think of how a man of flesh and blood could escape from such an encirclement.
However, what he had to consider was not how Dunwu escaped, but how to save the reputation of the Dou family. Dunwu is dead, but Liu Xiu, who made Dou Hui discredited in front of Huai Zong, is still alive, and the task given to him by Dou Wei is to kill Liu Xiu.
It's best to be in front of Huai Zong.
Dou Gui is not Dou Hui, after he received this task, he directly found Huai Zong. After Huai Zong and Feng Xue left Ningcheng, they didn't go far before they were caught up by Dou Wei, and when they heard that Dou Wei had killed Liu Xiu's master Dunwu, Huai Zong knew that the Dou family would not give up, so he didn't leave immediately, and had been waiting for the people of the Dou family to find him. Dou Guiyi said that he planned to intercept and kill Liu Xiu, Huai Zong agreed after a little hesitation, and he even personally persuaded Lu Anhou to take them deep into Shanggu County, pretending to be a hunting Wuhuan man to lurk in Mingji Mountain.
Feng Xue was a little puzzled, thinking that he was too risky to do this, and it was not worth it for a mere Liu Xiu. Huai Zong didn't explain, but just said that he was very interested in Liu Xiu and wanted to know more. Fengxue didn't say anything when he saw him, so he didn't ask much, so he had to accompany him to Jiming Mountain and wait for Liu Xiu to pass by.
In the past few days, Huai Zong took Fengxue and Dou Gui to check the nearby terrain, and finally decided to ambush here, in order to be foolproof, they decided to kill all the people who traveled with Liu Xiu, so as not to leak the news. They are not worried about the Han people, but worried about the difficulty of Lord Wuhuan in Shanggu. Nanlou's subordinates are strong, and they have not clearly accepted the kindness of the Xianbei Royal Court and joined the alliance, Huai Zong doesn't want to annoy Nanlou about this matter.
In the evening, knowing that Liu Xiu and his party had arrived outside the mountain, Fengxue, who had been waiting impatiently, finally showed a smile, as long as they killed Liu Xiu, they could leave here and return to the vast and boundless grassland, and no longer have to nest in this narrow valley. The mountains here are too high and the cliffs are too steep, dividing the blue sky into one by one, which makes people feel breathless. If it weren't for Huai Zong by her side, she wouldn't want to stay here for a day.
Thinking that he is inseparable from Huaizong these days, Feng Xue is a little reluctant to leave. Huai Zong is a talent, and both civil and military, these years with the king of Tanshi Huai to fight in the east and west, countless achievements, the young is the number of generals under Tan Shi Huai, than his younger brother and Lian is a hundred times stronger, is the hero of all the girls on the grassland. Every time he hooked the sheep, countless girls showed their hearts to him. Although Feng Crack intends to marry Feng Xue to Huai Zong, King Tanshi Huai also likes Feng Xue very much, but as long as there is no engagement for a day, Feng Xue can't feel at ease for a day, for fear that a girl will take the lead and snatch her Huai Zong.
The girls on the grassland are not as shy as the Han women, and if they take a fancy to any man, they will rush up fearlessly like a she-wolf, hold the person they want in their arms, and then bared out their teeth at the other women, and let out a threatening roar to prevent them from getting closer.
This makes Fengxue very headache, although she is the first beauty on the grassland, and has a good swordsmanship, but compared with these real Xianbei women, her surname is like a sheep compared to a wild wolf, and countless times she can only watch those young and beautiful grassland women throw flattering eyes and laugh at her Huai Zong, and pull him to a place where she can't see, and even kiss Huai Zong in front of her, shamelessly pasting the whole body, eager to become one with Huai Zong.
This made Feng Xue very distressed.
"Wind and Snow Girl, why are you upset? Have you been stuffy here for too long, don't worry, after killing that shaft tomorrow, we'll leave immediately. Dou Gui saw that Fengxue's face was not good, so he said apologetically: "I have wronged the girl in the past two days, and when I return to the grassland, I will send two double-sided brocades to the girl to accompany the crime." ”
When Feng Xue heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he dimmed again, and said listlessly: "Don't dare, you Han people often say that no merit is not good, I just accompanied Brother to see this time, and I didn't contribute, how can I receive such a big gift from you." ”
Huai Zong put down the wine glass and said lightly: "The Dou family is really a family, and there is still this kind of double-sided brocade that is said to have been lost. ”
Dou Guidao: "This is also given by the palace in the early years and passed down from the family." When she escaped, her mother lost countless gold and silver, and finally even lost her jewelry, but she was reluctant to lose these double-sided brocades. Now that my Dou family is on the grassland, my mother has passed away, and staying it is just a sad sight. Although there are countless beauties on the grassland, only a peerless beauty like the Snow Girl is worthy of a god like a double-sided brocade, and only a Snow Girl wearing a double-sided brocade can match a hero like the prince. ”
Huai Zong laughed, Fengxue blushed, glanced at Dou Gui gratefully, and lowered his head with joy.
Lu Anhou also hurriedly joked: "Exactly, the prince is heroic, and he will definitely succeed the king of Xianbei in the future, and only a beautiful woman like the Fengxue girl is worthy of being his clan." At that time, I was still cheeky to beg for a glass of wine. ”
"Hehehe...... After this incident, we are friends, and drinking is not the most convenient thing? Huai Zong smiled: "I can tell you, the Dou family's Jiuhua Brew is a good wine, you will go to Danhan Mountain in the future, but you will not forget to ask for a few glasses." ”
"Definitely, definitely." Lu Anhou smiled flatteringly: "When the time comes, I will want Dou Gongzi to reward a few cups." ”
"Well, the Dou family's tent will be open to you at any time in the future." Dou Gui smiled reservedly, raised his glass to Huai Zong and Fengxue, and then nodded to Lu Anhou. Lu Anhou's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly raised his wine glass and drank it all, he was a little too excited, and he spilled a piece of wet on his chest.
"It's getting late, let's rest for a while." Huai glanced at the bronze beam leaky pot at the corner of the tent, this leaky pot inlaid with gold and silver was a gift from Dou Gui to Lu Anhou, who regarded it as a treasure.
Dou Gui nodded in response, turned his head to Lu Anhou and said: "We will follow the established arrangement, tomorrow you go out of the valley to intercept, I will lead people to block their retreat, as long as the prince pushes down the stone, we will kill them together in the valley and kill them all." Those possessions and men are all your trophies, I only have one request, leave that Liu Xiu's surname, and I will cut off his head with my own hands. ”
"Don't worry, Childe, I will not touch a single hair of that Han dog, and hand him over to you intact." Lu Anhou was overjoyed, his chest was pounding, he thought about it, and said: "However, if he is unlucky and is stoned to death by the prince, then you can't blame me." ”
Dou Guiwan smiled: "That's nature." ”
"That man is very cunning, I'm afraid that if there is any noise above, he will be the first to jump up and run for his life, how can he be so easily smashed by my brother." Feng Xue was happy in her heart, her eyes flowed, and she was even more charming: "I can remind you that that man's sword skills are very good, and you may not be his opponent." ”
Dou Gui nodded, smiling without saying a word. He heard Dou Hu say that Feng Xue and Liu Xiu had made a move and lost to Liu Xiu. He was not surprised by this, since Liu Xiu was a disciple of Dunwu, and Dunwu personally said that even Dou Hu was not his opponent, then Liu Xiu's martial arts were naturally not comparable to Fengxue. If you want to talk about fighting alone, he is not sure, maybe only Huai Zong has a few chances. He had long heard that Tanshi Huai was able to unify the grassland and lay down such a territory, not only because he had a strategy, but also because of his amazing martial arts. As his eldest son, Huai Zong's martial arts skills are also very good, among the many generals under Tan Shi Huai, Murong Feng and Feng Split are famous for their resourcefulness, but Huai Zong is a well-deserved first fierce general.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have put so much thought into it, and he would definitely invite Huai Zong to watch the battle.
