On the boundless Gobi Desert, dozens of horses are galloping to their heart's content, one of which is a chestnut war horse, Li Qingan is pulling the reins and galloping on the horse, the mountains are in the distance, the wind is whistling in his ears, his interest is extremely high, and he can't help but look up to the sky and roar: "Datang!" I'm coming. ”

Ten miles away from the fort, he gradually slowed down, and after a month in the fort, he had fully recovered his strength, and at the same time fell in love with the job of raising horses, and his daily job was to lead the horses to gallop on the Gobi Desert to exercise their endurance and physique.

In later generations, he was also a soldier, a member of the army archery team, horseback archery is a necessary training, which made him have a special affection for horses, this month, he almost did not leave the saddle, under the careful guidance of Sun Matou, his equestrian progress was rapid, and he could compete with excellent cavalry.

Coming to a willow tree, Li Qingan stopped his war horse, here is another practice for him.

He took his bow and arrow from his back, retreated a hundred paces away, drew the bowstring full, aimed at the trunk of the tree, and as soon as the string was loosened, the arrow flew out, drawing a beautiful parabola, and shot accurately at the trunk.

Li Qingan shook his head with some regret, the archery technique has not changed, but unfortunately this bow is too soft, it doesn't fit well, he can't find the feeling of strong arrows before, he secretly wondered, when do you have to get a good bow.

At this time, he saw that it was getting late, so he urged his horse back to the fort, the wind on the Gobi Desert was strong, and the wind and sand in the sky blew so that he could not open his eyes, so he had to move sideways.

Suddenly, he found that there was something abnormal on the barren beach in the distance, as if there was a white object, Li Qingan urged him to step forward, and couldn't help but be stunned, this white object was actually a person's white bones, face down, and an arrow was stuck in the spine.

Li Qingan sighed softly, from the leather boots that were not completely rotten, he knew that this was a Hu merchant west of the Green Ridge, who had been robbed by thieves, and people died and lost their property, and it was estimated that they were originally flooded by wind and sand, and the wind was strong in the past two days, and the white bones were blown out again.

Li Qing'an dismounted and dug a pit with a dagger, buried the bones into the pit, he was just about to leave, suddenly surprised to find that there was a red gem in the position of the bones just now, he was overjoyed, stepped forward to pick up the gem, the size of the gem is like an egg, polished to smooth edges and corners, through the sun, there is a cluster of flames rising in the gem, the more it burns, the brighter it shines in the reflection of the setting sun, and the preciousness is abnormal.

He was a little puzzled, how could this gem not be snatched, he looked at the location of the gem, and suddenly understood that the gem was held in the mouth of this person, so it was not found, the bones of the corpse were facing down, and when he moved the bones just now, the gem slipped out of his mouth.

"Hey, hey! Lao Tzu made a fortune. ”

Li Qing'an excitedly hid the gem, found a long flat stone, and carved it with a dagger: 'The tomb of the nameless Hu Shang. ’

He inserted the flat stone into the sand, arched his hand and said, "Brother Hu, you send me a small fortune, and I will let you go into the soil for peace, and we will not owe each other." ”

Li Qingan turned over and got on the horse, he was in a happy mood, and he sang loudly along the way, "The slippery Qilang of the Li family, pick up the slippery treasure!" ”

．．．．．．．

Back at the fort, the soldiers were eating dinner in a circle outside the tent, and Sun Matou came out to lead the horse and smiled: "Qilang, go and eat!" ”

Li Qing'an was really hungry, he squeezed into the crowd and sat down, picked up a piece of wheat cake and wrapped it in a piece of dried meat and ate it, although Tang Jun's food was full, it was very simple, basically wheat cakes, dried meat and black bean soup, if you want to eat some good wine and meat, you have to pay for it yourself.

"Shichiro, take a sip of wine."

A handsome young Tang Jun next to him handed him the wine jug, this Tang Jun is called He Yanming, is the youngest Tang Army in the fort, only seventeen years old this year, he is the second generation of soldiers in Anxi, his father is a native of Chang'an, Kaiyuan 25 years recruited as the first batch of Long March athletes, with his wife and children to Anxi Frontier, there are 50 acres of tax-free land in Bahuan City, last year Lao He retired home to farm, and his son Xiaohe took over with honor.

He Yanming is a very clever young man, and he is very good at getting along with people, for example, he doesn't actually drink, but he still buys a few pots, and gives other veterans two sips to drink during meals, and everyone in the fort likes him.

Li Qing'an took the flask, 'Goo! Goo! After taking two sips, the wine was Gaochang wine, sweet and mellow, and he wiped his mouth and praised: "Good wine!" When will I also have the money to buy two pots. ”

"Qilang, next time those two girls come again, my brother will them above, and when they want to die, you steal their money below, and then we will divide it equally, won't the money come?"

A veteran made a rude joke, causing everyone to burst into laughter, and Li Fei Yuanli came out of the tent when he heard the sound, and grinned: "Thinking of those two stinky women, Lao Tzu feels that he has lost a lot, and two hundred yuan is enough to go to the Qinglou to listen to Yanqu." ”

At this time, a harrier eagle was hovering in the air, waiting for the leftovers of the Tang army, Li Fei Yuanli looked at the harrier eagle, frowned and scolded: "This bird thief is here again, last time Lao Tzu was overturned by a pot of good wine, watch me shoot it!" ”

He turned back and took a bow and arrow, and when he drew the bow it was an arrow, the arrow passed by it, and the harrier eagle was frightened and flew high, but it did not leave, and still hovered in the air.

Li Fei Yuanli couldn't hold back his face, so he said to everyone: "I will pay 500 yuan, and whoever shoots this bird thief will belong to whomever it is." “

Five hundred dollars is quite tempting, the Tang army jumped up one after another, pulled the bow and shot at the harrier eagle, for a while the arrows flew one after another, but none of them hit, the harrier eagle flew faster, chirped twice, as if to laugh at the Tang army, the Tang army also knew that it was impossible to shoot, so they laughed for a while, dropped the bow and continued to sit down to eat.

Li Fei Yuanli was a little annoyed and angry, scolding and scolding to leave, Li Qingan suddenly stood up and said, "Li Fei is the master, can I borrow your bow and arrow." ”

Li Fei Yuanli's bow and arrow were one size bigger than everyone else, and it took a lot of strength to pull it away, he glanced at Li Qing'an, and grinned: "Qilang, I heard you right!" Do you want to use my bow? ”

The Tang soldiers all laughed, He Yanming gently pulled Li Qing'an, and said in a low voice: "Qilang, that's a six-stone bow, you can't pull it." ”

"I'd like to give it a try."

Seeing that he was overwhelmed, the Tang soldiers immediately booed, and Li Fei Yuanli whistled and laughed: "Okay!" I'll give you a try, but if you can't pull it, you'll have to steal the money from those two women. ”

Everyone laughed again, and a fire chief monster shouted, "Shichiro, do you want me to teach you how to steal?" ”

The laughter grew louder.

Taking the bow, the smile on Li Qingan's face disappeared, he squinted and stared at the harrier eagle, the harrier eagle hovered above his head high and low, maybe it also felt the killing opportunity on the ground, so it didn't dare to get closer, but when it circled twice, it suddenly swept over Li Qing'an's head, at this moment of lightning and fire, Li Qing'an pulled the bow suddenly, the bow was like a full moon, the arrow was like a meteor, and the lightning shot towards the harrier eagle, the arrow was strong and fast, only to hear a cry of the harrier eagle, and the feathers fell straight from the air, and it was falling in the middle of the Tang army.

The Tang Army, who was still laughing just now, suddenly fell silent, Li Qingan stepped forward and picked up the eagle's foot, lifted it high, and after a while, the Tang Army suddenly burst into thunderous applause, "Good archery!" The cheers were endless, Li Qingan not only shot down the harrier eagle, but also pierced the head with an arrow, Li Fei Yuanli's eyes widened, and he praised loudly: "It's really amazing!" ”

At this time, Li Fei Yuanli seemed to know him for the first time, he looked Li Qing'an's burly figure up and down, and suddenly asked, "Can you open a hard crossbow?" ”
