When it's dark, it's going to be bright.

This is Li Xian's original words to comfort Daxi Changru, he is inconvenient to say anything, although he clearly knows that this time it is not long after dark, the Yang family's sky is dark, and the Li family's sky will soon brighten. Compared with the long turbulent times after the Two Jin Dynasty, the Sui Rebellion really wasn't that long.

When the darkness fades, the sky will be bright.

Sometimes Li Xian can't help but think, if he is not abandoned in the snow, but has a pair of parents who love him, what will his life trajectory look like?

Go to the field and plow the field, or study hard at the window?

In any case, neither of these is really a magnificent life.

Although the status of farmers is not low in this era, if the world is in chaos, it may end up in a violent corpse wilderness. Li Xian knows what others don't know, so he doesn't think that life under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums in the coming troubled times is a kind of enjoyment. When the bandits rushed into the house, not to mention the chrysanthemum, there was no fence left, even if there was a chrysanthemum left, it would be the end of the explosion.

As for hard study, Li Xian is a child who has been educated in compulsory education for many years, although he is not a good baby, he is not a big villain, his grades are very good, from graduating from kindergarten to being admitted to Peking University, his grades have always been among the best. However, when he was in kindergarten, he got the least small red flowers. Naughty and mischievous don't give little red flowers, because of this rule, Li Xian hated the kindergarten aunt until he was admitted to college.

Obviously, the Great Sui Dynasty was not yet an era suitable for hard study.

Although Emperor Gao Zuwen set a precedent for taking scholars through the imperial examination, there is no doubt that few officials in the Great Sui Dynasty from the local to the central government were above the sixth rank of the imperial examination. There are more than five products, and there is no one. Whether it is in the DPRK or the military, all rights are in the hands of the lords of various families. However, the scholar will still be respected, and they can be very cheeky to refrain from all manual labor on the grounds that the scholar is far away from cooking.

So Li Xian feels that his current life is not bad, let the couple who lost him regret it.

Future......

Li Xian shook his head fiercely, he will be a fart in the future, so let's live well.

The cavalry of the Xi people went around in the mountains all day, and they didn't know what method Lang Changhong used to throw the Xi people away. Several guards protected Ou Si Qingqing and left this nameless mountain and rushed to the bank of the weak Luoshui River to wait for the return of the Mohui, and even if he was arrogant, he didn't dare to take a small number of troops of less than a thousand people to dare to go to the edge of the weak Luoshui to provoke the people. Su Si Xinmi had just subdued several other tribes by force, and it was the time when he was in high spirits, and he didn't want to provoke a madman who even thought he could be promoted to the Great Khan.

Su Si Shinya was a belligerent man, who launched thirteen wars in a row in two years and established himself as supremacy among the Thunder People.

It is said that the messengers of the Turkic royal court have arrived at the Susi tribe and recognized the status of the Susi Xinmimi Khan.

Since he didn't dare to approach the Xilamulun River, he had to go back to Xi Da Aijin Eliver to recover his life.

On this day at the end of February of the seventh year of the Great Cause, Li Xian packed up his equipment, rode the big black horse that was already quite a miracle, and followed Daxi Changru and Chao Qiuge on the journey to Qingniu Lake.

The name of Qingniu Lake comes from a beautiful legend. According to the records of the Khitan people from generation to generation, when the old Khitan people who lost their teeth did not know what age, a fairy who came from the Xilamulun River with a green ox cart and an immortal riding a white horse from the Tuhe River met at the confluence of the two rivers, and then fell in love at first sight and became husband and wife, and they gave birth to eight children, which gradually multiplied into the Khitan Babu.

Qingniu Lake is not far from the confluence of the Xilamulun River and the Tuhe River, and it is a small lake. It is said that the White Horse Fairy and the Qingniu Fairy were married here, and the thousand-year-old ice on the shore of Qingniu Lake is a testimony of the love between the two people.

Li Xian had heard this story a long time ago, and from the story he came to the conclusion that these two romantic immortals must not be related to the Jade Emperor, otherwise they would have been arrested by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to ask for their crimes. Heavenly Court is such a serious place, and it is a very serious unorganized and undisciplined behavior to fall in love without reporting and without approval. Once verified, the light ones will be imprisoned, and the heavy ones will be reincarnated into the animal path and become pigs.

The story of Zhu Bajie tells us that even wishful thinking can't do it.

Not to mention the mutual affection.

Starting from the Unknown Mountain Camp, it is easy to get lost walking all the way on the vast grassland that is almost the same color. I don't know what Daxi Changru relies on to distinguish the direction, he leads the way in front and walks indifferently and steadily. There were several times when Li Xian almost couldn't help but want to catch up, lift Daxi Changru's clothes, and see where he hid the GPS.

The three of them rarely talked along the way, although Daxi Changru was no longer a cold stone under the influence of Li Xian, but it was also very difficult to let him accompany Li Xian to fart, Li Xian always felt that he still had a long way to go. And Chao Qiuge is also a typical stuffy gourd, Li Xian told him ten words, he may not be able to reply to the last sentence.

But Li Xian was not bored, and he was accustomed to the silence of the blood rider on the way from Yuyang County to the Xilamulun River.

No one talked to him, he talked to the big black horse.

"Dark horse and dark horse, I'm Dongyi, please answer when you hear it."

The big black horse snorted loudly, and he didn't know if he really understood Li Xian's words.

"Actually, it's nothing, you're not a big boss, it's time to give you a name."

Li Xian twisted his body, making his somewhat stiff ass blood flow a little.

"It's not hard to come up with a name for you, but it's important to start with black."

Li Xian thought for a while and said, "How about the black pearl?" Captain Jack's car. ”

The big black horse chirped twice with hot air, obviously very dissatisfied.

"That's right, you're a male, the name Black Pearl is more feminine, it's really not suitable for you."

Speaking of this, Li Xian suddenly thought of a question, and he urged the big black horse to catch up with Daxi Changru and asked, "Master, I have a question for you." ”

"There's a fart!"

Daxi Changru's response remained concise and clear.

Li Xian didn't care, he patted the neck of the big black horse and asked, "Does the stallion have to be castrated to become a war horse?" ”

Daxi Changru nodded: "A stallion that is not castrated is too irritable and not suitable to be a war horse." ”

Li Xian smiled and asked, "Then my big dark horse is an anomaly?" No wonder the mane is so long, and the hooves are bigger than the mouth of the bowl, and they look more imposing than your horses. ”

Daxi Changru didn't understand Li Xian's words at first, and only after a few seconds did he react after Li Xian finished speaking, he looked carefully at the appearance of the big black horse, and suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. He finally understood why he always felt that the big black horse was a little different, and finally understood why the blood-ridden war horse always looked cramped and even fearful when facing the big black horse.

This guy is a fish that slipped through the net!

Oh no, it's a leaky horse.

"Why isn't the big dark horse grumpy at all?"

Li Xian asked again.

Daxi Changru thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's because he has been domesticated since he was a child, and the wild surname in his bones has become weaker. But you should be careful, the uncastrated stallion is very difficult to control, the steppe people call this kind of uncastrated stallion a horse, almost every herd will leave the strongest stallion uncastrated. ”

Perhaps the curiosity of the big black horse finally found the answer, and Daxi Changru's words also increased: "The horse is the head horse, and the horse after being castrated may have the same inferiority complex as the eunuch in the palace, so it is completely obeyed by the majestic horse." The horses are very fierce and dare to attack the wolves, even the half-human tall wolves dare not approach the horses, which will only be kicked in the belly. ”

Daxi Changru's words made Li Xian a little more proud and proud.

He stroked the mane of the big black horse: "No wonder you look such a stinky fart, it turns out that you are a pure man." ”

"Then I'll have to think of a name for you, how about having roots?"

The big black horse puffed up the snow and dust all the way, and snorted to express his protest.

"It's called Oolong."

Chao Qiu Ge rarely took the initiative to speak.

Li Xian pursed his lips: "The horse of the overlord of Chu is called the black horse, and he is not a eunuch who has been castrated, how can he compare it with my little black?" It's not good, it's not good, it's another one. ”

"Black Wind?"

Daxi Changru said.

"Cheesy!"

Li Xian waved his hand in denial, and suddenly had an idea, and then laughed: "How about calling it black hard?" ”

"Dark Shadow?"

Daxi Changru nodded: "This is a good name, your big black horse is indeed running fast, and none of the horses in the blood horse can catch up with it." It's like a dark shadow when it runs, and it's good. ”

Li Xian was too lazy to explain his bad taste, and was afraid of the big black horse's ass: "Run, black and hard, let them see your heroics!" ”

The big black horse chirped twice, spread its hooves and galloped out. Li Xian rode proudly on the big black horse and laughed and sang, like a hooligan ruffian who had just taken advantage of the yellow flower girl. The speed of the big black horse is indeed amazingly fast, and Li Xian, who is carrying the smugness, quickly surpasses Daxi Changru and Chao Qiuge.

Nothing to lose.

The road of more than 300 miles is not far away for the three people who travel lightly, although the war horses of Daxi Changru and Chao Qiuge are not as fast as the big black horses, but they are also good horses in a hundred, and the three of them ran out for more than 180 miles on the first day, and then found a suitable place for camping to stop and rest.

The next morning, the sun showed its head, and the three of them continued on their way.

When the sun was in the west, Daxi Changru asked Li Xian to slow down his speed. It's almost Qingniu Lake, and this is the territory of the Khitans, so you can't be too ostentatious. Qingniu Lake is the holy land of the Khitan people, heavily guarded, so blatantly breaking through is tantamount to looking for death, and if you can't see the lake waves of Qingniu Lake, you will be shot into a hedgehog by Khitan warriors. The reason why Daxi Changru came to Qingniu Lake several times and failed to find the meteorite was because he waited until night to sneak to the lake to find it.

Although Qingniu Lake is not very big, it takes more than half a day to run around the lake. In the dark of night, it is not much easier to find the place where the meteorite sank than to find a needle in a haystack, and it is more like trying your luck than relying on memory.

The three of them found a more secluded place to stop and rest, and after eating some dry food, they planned to look for it again in the evening.

Chao Qiuge was arranged as a backup, so he took the initiative to take on the task of guarding, and let Daxi Changru and Li Xian sleep behind the leeward high slope wrapped in felt blankets for a while, and he lay on the high slope to monitor the movements around him. There was still a faint smell of blood in the air, and I didn't know if it was an illusion or the battlefield of the Khitans and Xi people was indeed not far from here. Although the location of Qingniu Lake is considered to be in the territory of He Da and Hebu, because it is a sacred place for the Khitan people, it is jointly managed by the eight tribes.

The eight Khitan tribes each sent a hundred of the strongest and brave warriors to guard Qingniu Lake, especially the piece of ice that could not melt for thousands of years for unknown reasons, and no one was allowed to approach. It is said that the ice will only be approached when the ancestors are worshiped by the Eight Poles, and at other times anyone who comes close will be shot dead on the spot.

"Is Xi Ren almost here?"

After nightfall, he sneaked into a place not far from Qingniu Lake, lying in the grass, Li Xian asked Daxi Changru in a low voice.

"Xi people are not that stupid!"

Daxi Changru glanced at Li Xian like an idiot: "The grassland assigned to the Xi people by Ashina Jishi is the one occupied by the Khitan He Dahe, because it does not involve his own territory, so the other Khitan tribes did not start a war with the Xi people." Qingniu Lake is the holy land of the Khitans, and if Eliver dares to fight here, he will really stab the hornet's nest! ”

"The elite cavalry of the eight Khitan divisions combined is no less than that of the Xi people!"

Li Xian sighed, and did not have any sense of shame about his ignorance.

"The Xi people know this, and the Khitan people must know this too."

Under the moonlight, Li Xian's eyes were very bright: "The more heavily guarded the place, maybe it is actually very safe." I'm thinking, even if we go around the lake openly, as long as we avoid those places where torches are lit, the Khitans may not be able to find out! ”

Daxi Changru didn't get mad this time, but nodded appreciatively: "Every time...... That's pretty much what I do. ”

ps: In recent days, I took my mother to check her body, and the update will be unstable, but it will not be less than two more, sorry
