readx; Li Qing'an half-hugged Elleni, held her hands, taught her to balance the crossbow, his face leaned against the back of Elleni's neck, his cheeks touched her neck from time to time with the carriage, he was looking for possible targets outside the car window, time passed little by little, the required target never appeared, neither of them spoke, this ambiguous gesture made both of them feel a strong stimulation in their hearts, at this moment, both of their minds were no longer on the crossbow, Ellen felt Li Qing'an's strong manly atmosphere, her eyes became blurred, There seemed to be a light mist in their blue eyes, their cheeks were stained crimson, their breathing was slightly rapid, their chests rose and fell, and they saw that they had reached a critical juncture, when a white waterfowl flew out of the woods a hundred paces away and swept low through the air.

"That's it!" Li Qing'an slightly deviated the crossbow bow, pulled the hanging knife, 'click', the crossbow machine shook slightly, the crossbow arrow shot out like lightning, the arrow path was accurate and straight, extremely fast, an arrow shot through the water bird, the water bird wings retracted, fell from the sky, Ellen was startled, immediately reined in the ** that was about to get out of control, her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the crossbow arrow in her hand in surprise, she had been immersed in silver in the bow and arrow for a long time, and immediately saw the power of the weapon in her hand, and she also realized the strategic significance of this bow and arrow, This pair of Byzantines, who shoot arrows slowly with longbows, will be a revolutionary weapon, especially against the Arabs who are known for their cavalry, and in naval battles, it can give Byzantium an advantage, Eleoni was very excited, she turned around and put her arms around Li Qing'an's neck, and kissed him heavily on the face, her soft and moist lips made Li Qing'an shake, and at this moment, the carriage shook and stopped.

"General, it's already at the docks!"

The two slowly separated, Ellen looked out the window curiously, they had passed through the forest, came to a wide wharf, the shore next to the forest is a huge warehouse, there are more than 20 of them, heavily guarded, there are hundreds of flat grain ships parked on the wharf, and in the distance is the sparkling Atami, at this time, Li Qingan has calmed down, he pointed to the warehouse and said with a smile: "Over there is our granary, the grain transported from the Kuzhan waterway is landed here, and then transported by land to Broken Leaves, We're in the process of repairing the river and docks, and in the near future, these boats will be able to travel directly along the Broken Leaf River to Broken Leaf City without having to make a stopover here. ”

"Shall we take a boat?" Elleni looked back at Li Qingan and asked.

"Yes! It is a long way to go to Frozen City by land, and you can reach it directly by boat. ”

He looked down at Ellen and smiled, "You won't be afraid to take a boat!" ”

"How so? We in Byzantium are born by the sea, let's get on the boat! ”

Alleni jumped off the carriage, she stretched her body long in the sea breeze, in the reflection of the sun, her blonde hair shone brightly, her slender and graceful figure seemed to be the most perfect creation of nature, Li Qingan naturally reached out and hugged her waist, pointed to a different big boat on the edge and smiled: "That's my boat, let's go up!" ”

Elleni looked at Li Qing'an and smiled, took his hand, and walked quickly towards the big ship together.

Li Qing'an's boat was a huge building ship, about 20 zhang long and 5 zhang high, and there were three floors on board, which stood out from the crowd in a flat-bottomed grain ship.

Li Qing'an took Elleni up to the third floor, while his guards concentrated on the first and second floors, and the big ship started slowly, and with the help of the east wind, the sails were puffed up, and it sailed south.

Atami is Issyk-Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan this year, the eye waves are vast, not frozen all year round, the lake water is clear and transparent, it is a huge alpine saltwater lake, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and high mountains, the low place is covered by dense forests, here the golden sand and clear water, the scenery is very beautiful, because the legend is that there are sea monsters in the lake, so no one dares to fish in the lake, but there are residents who build ships as a means of transportation, going back and forth on both sides of the lake, after the Tang army occupied the broken leaves, the use of Atami is also mainly used for transportation, especially from the war to transport grain to broken leaves, The fleet crossed Atami to the North Shore Pier.

In order to protect the immigrants, the Tang army also built a large number of forts around Atami, among which the frozen city in the south is an important military stronghold, which is the base for the Anxi army to train crossbowmen.

At this time, it is the first day of the first month of February, Atami's unique geothermal resources make the temperature in this area higher than elsewhere, the lake is smoky and windy, blowing head-on, it is refreshing, the third floor of the boat is actually a mobile office space, there are offices, there are study rooms, there are conference rooms, there are also bedrooms, and the soldiers in the room after packing up the items, they consciously returned to the second floor, the third floor is only Li Qing'an and Elleni, Li Qing'an invited her to sit down in the study, poured her a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile: "What kind of power did your father give you." , military cooperation with Anthy? ”

Elleni did not hide Li Qing'an, she said frankly: "I came to Anxi is indeed entrusted by my father to investigate the possibility of military cooperation with Anxi, for Byzantium, Armenia and Cyprus is our biggest obstacle, but also the biggest threat, we hope to start a war to eliminate these threats, in fact, this is also the fundamental purpose of our coming to Anxi, trade is just an excuse to ask for directions, it is because of the conclusion of the trade agreement, we have seen the sincerity of your cooperation, so I will talk to you about military cooperation." But I don't have the right to decide on war, and I don't have the right to sign military cooperation agreements with you, I only have to prepare a specific plan, and then propose it to my father, and in the end it is up to him to decide, I hope you can understand this. ”

"I can understand, I can talk to you about specific plans, even including the trade of some military items, and we will talk in detail after I visit the crossbow army in Anxi with you in the afternoon."

"Good! Now is our time to enjoy, right? ”

Ellen smiled, turned around and walked out of the cabin, walked to the strings of the boat, the beauty of Atami made her heart relaxed, the clear blue lake was as flat as a mirror, the water shone on the sky, the layers of snow peaks on the north shore, in the clouds and mist, appeared and disappeared, it seemed quiet and magical, when the wind blows, the white waves on the lake are surging, and the weeping clouds on the lake are blended, it seems dreamy and mysterious, she stares at the sparkling lake, and can't help but whisper a famous poem in her native language, praising this beautiful lake, at this time Li Qingan slowly walked behind her, gently hugged her, and whispered a Tang poem in her ear in Turkic:

Hearing the Huer language of Yinshan on the side, the hot sea water in the west is like boiling.

The birds of the sea did not dare to fly, and some of them were long and fat.

The grass on the shore never stops, and the snow in the air is far away.

Steaming sand and sparkling stones, and boiling waves and frying Han Yue.

The yin fire burns the furnace of heaven and earth, and what is the west corner

Ellen listened fascinated, gently snuggled in his arms, pillowed her head on his shoulder, stared at him with her dreamy eye waves, her lips moved lightly, as if she was longing, calling, Li Qing'an slowly kissed her earlobe, kissed her cheek, and finally kissed her delicate lips with his hot lips, Ellen was intoxicated, she stretched out her arms to wrap her arms around Li Qing'an's neck, and kissed him back affectionately, they intersected head and neck, enjoying the romantic passion of the sky and the sea, Li Qing'an put his hand into her clothes and stroked her, Holding the pair of plump and extremely elastic twin peaks on her chest, rubbing and stroking unscrupulously, Alleni began to gasp lowly, her chest rose and fell violently, she stretched out the flexible tip of her tongue to tease his **, her blue eyes were full of encouragement, boldly seducing him.

"Love me!" She said to Li Qing'an in a low voice.

Li Qing'an picked her up horizontally, untied her blouse with her teeth, her snow-white [***] trembled out, Li Qingan lowered his head and sucked the red bud on her chest, and carried her into the cabin, in the bedroom in the cabin, they removed all the obstacles such as clothes, hugged each other tightly, with countless postures, with every inch of skin to feel each other's crazy love, their bodies blended into one, the wild surname swelled in their hearts, they ** again and again, rough and crazy, Eleon's virgin spring love was induced, The extreme pleasure generated by that kind of ** love surging in her body, making it difficult for her to suppress the scream, she bit Li Qing'an's shoulder, this time, she seemed to have changed from a swan to a female beast, on the bed, on the table, on the chair, on the floor, under the sun, everywhere left traces of their crazy **..... It wasn't until half an hour later that a storm caused by the love of men and women finally subsided in the cabin, Li Qingan was exhausted, and even he didn't know how many degrees he had scored.

He lay on the bed with his back facing the world, paralyzed on the bed, held Elleni in his arms, and reluctantly stroked her snow-white and moving skin, compared to the Oriental beauty, her skin is richer, her figure is more of a devilish temptation, and she is more enthusiastic and unrestrained, more bold, so that he can enjoy the ultimate of surname love, Ellen is like a golden cat nestled in his arms, she raised her head from time to time to kiss Li Qing'an's lips, kissed his skin, today she tasted the love of men and women for the first time, tasted the joy of fish and water, that kind of ** The bone-eating pleasure was unforgettable, and she didn't want to leave the man around her for a moment.

"It's your first time?"

Li Qing'an's eyes fell on a spot of blood on the futon, he was shocked in his heart, in his memory, Byzantium seemed to be a city addicted to carnal desires, erosive and extravagant, but the situation in front of him made him dare not believe that such a beautiful Western beauty was still a virgin.

Elenni smiled lazily, "Do you know that my body is the most precious treasure of Byzantium, I can exchange a country for my father, how can I give such a precious treasure to others easily." ”

"Then why did you give it to me?"

Elleni sat up, took a comb from the bedside, combed her long blonde hair like a mermaid, and smiled at Li Qing'an, "Because I want to marry Anxi." ”

"You mean you want to marry me?" Li Qingan said with a smile.

Ellen smiled and said, "Now I really want to marry you, but maybe I don't want to after I put on the clothes." ”

Li Qingan also sat up, hugged her snow-white and moving jade body into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "It was also a kind of negotiation between us just now, and we cooperated very tacitly, which means that our military cooperation will be equally smooth." ”

"You don't want to marry me? Don't want me to be your wife? Ellen looked at him with a smirk.

Li Qingan smiled: "Of course I want to monopolize such a beautiful woman, but as you said, you are the most valuable asset of your Byzantine Empire, will your father be willing to give you to me?" Even if he is willing, according to our Eastern conventions, as in the West, your father needs to prepare a dowry for you, so what kind of dowry will he prepare for you? Land or wealth? ”

"Do you know what kind of dowry my father used when he betrothed me to Prince Marque? With the island of Cyprus, of course, the island of Cyprus is still in the hands of the Arabs, it is necessary for the country of Mark to send troops to take it back, if I marry you, I think it should be Armenia, unfortunately, Armenia is also in the hands of the Arabs, and you also need to send troops to take it back. ”

"Your father is a shrewd man! It's a pity that I won't fight Amiani, let alone Cyprus, I will only fight Khorasan, then Your Royal Highness Princess, you will be my lover, so that there is no profit transaction between us, and there is only love between men and women. ”

"I estimate that no man in the world dares to marry me, and anyone who wants to marry me will pay a heavy price."

Ellen didn't explain what she meant, she put on her clothes, opened the door and walked out of the cabin, a sea breeze blew into the cabin, blowing her blonde hair away, she suddenly turned around and smiled: "Whether I am your wife or your lover, it will not affect our military cooperation, nor will it affect our love, I will go and ask my father to allow me to live in the far East." ”

At this moment, the melodious bell on the bow of the ship struck, which was a notice of the ship's imminent arrival.

．．．．．．．．． In the afternoon, Li Qing'an accompanied Eleon to arrive in the frozen city, which is also a small city attached to broken leaves, there are currently more than 3,000 families of immigrants who have just moved in, and at the same time, this is also the crossbow training base of the Anxi New Army, since last year, every recruit of the Anxi Army is receiving crossbow training, they come here in batches, and receive a three-month, extremely cruel training.

When the boat reached the shore of the lake, Li Qing'an and the others changed to ride to the frozen city, which was only ten miles away from the lake, and it would not take long to reach the barracks, at which time the soldiers were ready, and the three thousand soldiers who were about to complete their training would demonstrate the power of the crossbow arrow array.

When Li Qing'an was still a mile away from the barracks, Liu Zhiyun came out of the frozen city regimental training envoy, Liu Zhiyun was also a veteran of the Jiangdu regimental training camp that year, a native of Jiangning, and one of the survivors of the Battle of Shibao City.

He was burly and majestic, dressed in bright light armor, majestic, he walked forward quickly and bowed and saluted: "The last general, Liu Zhiyun, see the general!" ”

"General Liu is exempt, are you ready?"

"General Hui, it's ready to start!"

"Good!" Li Qingan nodded, and said to Elleni, who had changed into a Tang Army armor: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please dismount and follow me into the camp." ”

Ellen is extremely tall, wearing the armor of the Tang Army, she is like a heroic Tang Army general, Li Qing'an specially gave her a composite bow with exquisite workmanship, only three stones, which is being used with her, this is one of Li Qing'an's most beloved bows, the whole body is red, because the strength is small, so he has been hanging in the carriage as an ornament, and now he gave it to Elleni as a testimony of the special relationship between them.

Ellen likes this bow very much, the feel and strength are very good, so that her archery skills have reached a new level, she immediately replaced her usual longbow with it, she followed behind Li Qing'an, holding a bow and arrow, a quiver on her back, and her long blonde hair was tied up, which made her even more heroic, she walked into the barracks with Li Qing'an, and walked on a training platform, which is a high platform for commanding crossbow army training, under the training platform, it is a large training ground covering an area of 500 acres, where soldiers train crossbows and riding crossbows, and also practice bows, Training is carried out for seven hours a day, day and night, and a total of 6,000 recruits are currently trained here.

At this time, the audience has been neatly lined up with three thousand recruits whose training is about to end, they are trained in riding in the last level, and the next level will go to He Hunting City to receive training in knife and marksmanship, from which they will select the best to train Mo Dao, and finally the formation training, the recruit period is a total of one year of training, riding, shooting, fighting, and formation, the time is tight, and the requirements are extremely strict, but only in this way can a sharp army be trained.

Three thousand crossbowmen were ready, each holding a crossbow in his hand and a pot of crossbows and arrows on his back, of which 1,500 were using open-tension crossbows, and the other 1,500 were using open-tension crossbows, and 500 were in a row, firing in three rounds.

"Let's get started!" Li Qingan ordered in a deep voice.

The red flag danced, and the drums sounded, "Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The crossbow array of three thousand men began to be activated, and the distance between the soldiers was widened, leaving enough space for the crossbow to be fired, compared to the tension crossbow, which was wound with the feet, and the distance between them was greater.

At this moment, five hundred paces ahead, a large flock of sheep, more than a thousand, suddenly appeared, they were driven, and walked within two hundred steps, and the soldiers who drove the sheep immediately dodged, and it was obvious that this flock of sheep would become a prop for demonstration.

Li Qing'an couldn't help but glance at Elleni, only to see that her expression began to be a little excited, she was completely not as unbearable and sympathetic as ordinary women when they saw that the sheep were about to be slaughtered, on the contrary, her blue eyes burned with a bloodthirsty desire, as if she longed to see the sheep slaughtered.

Li Qing'an was secretly a little vigilant, in fact, he didn't know this woman at all, he just coveted her beauty, when he got her body, ** subsided, he began to become sensible, it is true that marriage with Byzantium may bring certain strategic benefits, but this will also damage his efforts to enter the Central Plains, and this woman is not the kind of weak woman who teaches her husband and children, on the contrary, she is a very strong and strong woman who conquers **, if she becomes one of the mistresses of Anxi, she will definitely not be satisfied with the harem, she will grab more benefits in Anxi to Byzantium, thinking of this, Li Qingan couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he didn't agree to marry her, just let her be his lover.

At this time, the drums became more and more urgent, and the 1,500 soldiers using the crossbows shouted, and the first row of 500 soldiers pulled the crossbow arrows and hung their swords, 'Click! A crossbow machine sounded, five hundred crossbow arrows overwhelmingly shot at the sheep, after shooting they immediately stepped on the crossbow winding, at this time the second row of crossbow arrows also shot, followed by the third row of crossbow arrows, fifteen hundred crossbow arrows like the black pressure of the three groups of wasps, whistling across the sky, extremely fast to shoot at the flock, one hundred and eighty steps away from the sheep let out a mournful sound, a round of arrows fired, most of the more than a thousand sheep were nailed to the ground, blood flowed into a piece, only dozens of sheep stood stunned in place did not move, "wonderful!" ”

Elleni could not help but applaud and admire, she was thrilled by the power of the crossbow arrows, and the sheep seemed to be transformed into Arab cavalry before her eyes, which was the weapon that the Byzantines needed, with which they would sweep through Armenia.

Elleni couldn't help but turn back to Li Qing'an and pleaded: "General Li, please let me bring a hundred soldiers back, I want them to demonstrate in front of my father, so that he can see the strength of the Tang Army with his own eyes, I believe he will definitely agree to cooperate with the Tang Army!" ”
