The sun is shining in the northwest plateau in July, unknown rivers flow freely, the vast fields are dotted with lakes, the vast primeval forests hide countless animals, and the grasslands have no familiar farms and endless cultivated fields, only countless cattle and sheep and the Huns grazing.

This is the pasture of the Hun Evil King, who is a big tribe under the account of the Xiongnu Right Xian King.

Zhang Qian's caravan marched slowly on the grassland, and sometimes herds of cattle and sheep could be seen playing freely on the grassland, and the Xiongnu herdsmen sang an unknown tune to shepherd sheep.

Gan's father rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, and the twenty horsemen of the Huns shouted and shouted the Hun language with a natural demeanor, and the Huns on the grassland saw the Hun knights with scimitars on their waists, and saluted them with a smile: "Hun brothers from the east, may Kunlun bless you with a plow." ”

"May Kunlun support the plough and bless the Huns under the steppe."

Zhang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand that grasped the handle of the knife was quietly put down.

Walking on the prairie for days is full of Huns, just like a group of sheep walking among the wolves, even if the Huns are unaware of this group of impostors, but their own believers are always tightened, for fear that if there is the slightest appearance of the horse's feet, they will be captured and killed by the Huns coming from all directions.

Four months ago they left Chang'an, came to Longxi County to make preparations, but they were unlucky to meet the Xiongnu right to send troops, Longxi up and down the full alert simply did not allow them to go west, in Longxi County Zhidi Dao stayed in vain for a few months, until the beginning of June into the grassland of the most lively grazing season to determine that the right Xian Wang did not plan to send troops, at this time the caravan quietly detoured to the north interspersed into the gaps of several tribes' pastures into the Hexi in a grand manner.

In addition to insisting on practicing archery and archery every day, as soon as there is time, he organizes caravan members and Huns in the team to practice Xiongnu dialect, and the caravan members are rangers and horse thieves from all over the border county, not only accustomed to the customs and habits of the Huns, some of them will also have a few simple Xiongnu daily language, and learning some simple Xiongnu language is barely enough.

Entering the prairie, the caravan members were forbidden to communicate in Chinese, and all the Xiongnu language was used to communicate, and those who could not use it were replaced with simple and practical gestures.

After the afternoon, the herdsmen of the Huns found a cool place to nap, and the cattle and sheep on the grassland gradually scattered and ran around, without the eyes of the constant gaze, the progress of the caravan was slightly faster, and the faces of the caravan members were much more relaxed.

Right Beiping Ranger Zhou It said: "We are lucky this time, nothing happened after passing through the grassland of King Hutu. ”

"The soldiers and horses of King Hutu's headquarters are not in the grassland, this time the luck is indeed too good, if there are soldiers and horses patrolling back and forth, it will not be so easy for us to fool the past." Nie Xiang is one of the best horse thieves in Daijun, known as the fast knife Nie, and he has two specially modified arc fine iron ring knives pinned to his waist, and he has made a name for himself in Daijun with these two knives.

The caravan was moving very fast, and Zhao Shun turned around from the front of the team, looking around vigilantly: "Don't you think it's strange?" King Hugh Tu's grassland defense was slack, even the evil king was very slack, didn't they remember that a hundred and ten miles away was Longxi County Zhidi Dao? ”

Zhao Shun served as the leader of the scouts in the caravan, a pair of eagle eyes and sensitive ears are famous in the north, although there are only 20 people under his command, but between the border counties and the grassland come and go like the wind, seize the opportunity not to rob the Han caravan to rob the cattle and sheep of the Hun tribe, like a cunning and fierce grassland fox slippery hand makes people unguardable.

With this set of skills, he escaped many roundups, neither the Han army nor the Hun army could catch his little tail, if it weren't for this trip to make the important prince give a strict order, and use the tiger talisman to dispatch 500 county soldiers to be commanded by Yunzhong County Taishou Cheng did not know how to personally sit in the town, and he was surrounded to death in the secret den of a small city on the border, at this time he was doing a dashing horse thief who came and went like the wind on the prairie.

Lu Heng spat and scolded angrily: "Zhao Lao Er, you kid don't talk nonsense, if Lao Tzu can go all the way to the Western Regions, he will be promoted to the fifth doctor next year, do you know what the fifth doctor is?" The high lord who is exempt from servitude, blind your tricks. ”

"Military merit! I just gave up this life to get a military merit! ”

"With military merit, even if you are buried in the desert, you are willing!"

Yandi Ranger Tian Xin said: "Brothers, listen to some auspicious things, how unlucky it is to die and die, let's go back to see the old father and mother at home alive, and bring them the good news of the knighthood, so as not to let our relatives be afraid of us." ”

"We are all people who are used to wandering outside, and our relatives have suffered for us for many years, and it is time for our parents to live a stable life for a few years." Yang Wu's exclamation resonated with many in the team.

Feng Shou's big eyes flashed: "Promoted to military meritorious service, exempt from forced labor, get food, join the Northern Army as a military officer, and make meritorious contributions in the future, and be a man of honor!" ”

More than half of the caravan members were immersed in the long river of memories and lingered, and a few were excited and rejoicing, as if they were celebrating their victory in advance.

At first glance, it seems that they are a group of rangers and horse thieves who make a living by fighting bravely and ruthlessly killing people and stealing goods, but the actual situation is that their status is very lowly, in this era they are called Luzuo people, and the untouchables of the Seven Branches of Qi Shu are mainly these lowly people, and most of the 700,000 Lishan prisoners were untouchables in Luzuo.

Since the three generations of ancient times, there has always been an extremely strict system, in the Great Zhou Dynasty lived in Luli to obtain the Son of Heaven to grant land to serve the levy to pay taxes, called the countrymen, unwilling to serve the levy to avoid paying taxes and lived outside the Luli called savages, the feudal era savages were caught will be very cruel punishment and abuse, and it is not surprising that the unlucky ones are dismembered, even if they are lucky to be degraded to the untouchable slaves for the aristocracy.

In the Warring States Period, the division of the country and the wilderness changed its name, becoming the division between Luli and Luzuo, the name changed but the content did not change, changing the soup without changing the medicine is still the division between the aristocratic commoners and the untouchable slaves, Chen Sheng, who was unwilling to give the land to self-cultivation, was a Luzuo untouchable, and luckily encountered Qin II's head cramps, and the people of the six countries of Luzuo were soldiers and soldiers to defend the borderlands, and the guide Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted in Daze Township.

The Han Cheng Qin system retained the special class of Lu Zuo in the pre-Qin period, and these people who were regarded as silverfish waste in the eyes of the Li Zheng and the three elders gradually evolved into drifters who were active in all social strata, and they were strictly excluded by the system of the Han Empire, and could only rely on their own crafts to beg for food, among which the unwilling mediocre people engaged in law-breaking business.

The seven branches are mainly criminals, death row prisoners and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, the scope of Lu Zuo is several times larger than the scope of the seven branches, all engaged in rangers, horse thieves, robbers, tomb robbers, thieves, liars, and jugglers, idle ruffians and other professions belong to the wanderers, these people make a living is these cheap industries, a few lucky to become the nobles' doormen, that are the ancestors of the big people who smoke from the blue, I don't know how many people's eyes to envy.

Except for careerists like Chen Sheng, who are born with backbones, no one wants to be a pariahs who are discriminated against, most people are just trying to make a living, there is no so-called Zhao'an under the Qin and Han systems, as long as the blacklisted people are caught, they can only cut off the dead road of abandoning the city, and they themselves want to live a stable life for civilians, but the strict laws do not allow it.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the prince has given dozens of places for his special extrajudicial grace for his trip to the Western Regions, and you can imagine how happy the untouchables of Luzuo who are engaged in the profession of horse thief rangers will be.

Lu Heng wiped the tears on his face and choked up: "Okay, you stinky boy said it well!" My old Lu is almost forty people who were told to cry by you, the old father in the family has been dead for seven or eight years, only the wife and children brought by the old mother are struggling to survive, I, an unfilial son, still have the mind to wander outside, I can't help but slap myself a few mouths when I think about it! ”

"Lu Tou'er is right, why don't you take a few mouths and show everyone?"

Lu Heng glared angrily: "Feng Shou! Today, my old Lu doesn't slap your stinky boy in the face, your mother doesn't know, my Lu character is written upside down! ”
