Chapter 16: Two Little Ones
In the end, Liu Ziqiu still declined the invitation to go to Liduoyun. The scene of Tuoba Yuanju leaving in a hurry always appeared in front of his eyes, lingering. Liu Ziqiu was sure that something big must have happened, but it couldn't be an internal matter of the Tuoba Ministry, otherwise Tuoba Yuanju would not have left Tuoba Qianyu behind.
If it wasn't Tuoba Ministry's own business, what could make Tuoba Yuanju leave in a hurry, and he wouldn't even have time to say hello? Tuyuhun has just perished, Xihai County has not been established for a long time, Murong Fuyun's whereabouts are unknown, and the forces of all parties are in turmoil, and Liu Ziqiu can't wait to fly back to the barracks.
Liu Ziqiu also refused to bring Tuoba Qianyu. Everyone can see the little girl's intentions, but he and the little girl are not familiar with each other, this is the second time they have met, and even Tuoba Qianyu's name and identity have just been known, so there is no need to provoke this party princess. Moreover, the place he is going back to is the barracks. The barracks has its own rules of the barracks, not to mention that he is just a small brigade commander, even if he is a general, he can't casually bring strangers into the camp.
Looking at Liu Ziqiu's back, Tuoba Qianyu stomped his feet hatefully, and suddenly let out a whistle. A white horse broke free from the horse leader, spread its hooves and ran straight to Tuoba Qianyu's side, "Xi Yuyu" let out a long neigh. This horse is not tall, with many variegated spots on its body, and it looks inconspicuous, but it is a real "dragon species" that can travel thousands of miles a day, and is Tuoba Qianyu's most beloved mount. It also has a resounding name, "Snow Leopard".
Tuoba Qianyu also grew up on horseback since childhood, and his riding skills are not inferior to any grassland man. She grabbed the saddle in her hand and jumped up.
Xiang Li Duoyun was taken aback, and asked repeatedly: "Princess Qianyu, who are you?" ”
Xiang Li Qingtian also woke up, grabbed the reins and said, "Sister, aren't you going to stay with me?" ”
Both brothers and sisters know that they have the obligation to ensure the safety of Tuoba Qianyu, in case she has three longs and two shortcomings, then Tuoba and Xiangli will turn against each other, and it will be absolutely disastrous for Xiangli Ministry.
Tuoba Qianyu didn't care about it, lifted the reins hard, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll chase him!" ”
Xiang Li Qingtian suddenly let go of her hand, she was even a little envious of Tuoba Qianyu, she could do what she wanted to do by her own mind, but she couldn't, her identity was there, but her weak shoulders needed to take on the future of the tribe.
……
It is still very cold in March, and it will be two months before the snow melts and the earth comes to life. On the vast snowfield, Liu Ziqiu rode his horse and galloped, letting the scorching cold wind blow past his ears. Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves stomping on snow behind him.
The title of "Snow Leopard" Maxima is not given in vain, especially in this snowfield, the running is even faster, and it only takes more than an hour to catch up.
Liu Ziqiu reined in helplessly reined in the war horse, arched his hand behind him, and said loudly: "Princess Qianyu, it's really ...... to go back to the camp on business."
Tuoba Qianyu rolled her eyes: "You go back to your barracks, I will go my way, and I won't get in the way of you!" ”
The road was facing the sky, and Liu Ziqiu couldn't control the little girl's walking, so he suddenly had nothing to say. Suddenly, he sat down and the horse roared, and the man stood up. Liu Ziqiu's riding skills were mediocre, and he was caught off guard this time and was almost knocked to the ground. Fortunately, he was nimble, and in a hurry he jumped into the air, somersaulted, and stood firmly on the snow. But the horse seemed to be frightened, and turned around and galloped away, no matter how Liu Ziqiu called, he refused to come back, which made Tuoba Qianyu laugh coquettishly.
"Be careful!" I only heard Liu Ziqiu roar, and suddenly opened his arms to block in front of Tuoba Qianyu.
Tuoba Qianyu was hesitating when he heard the low roar of a beast coming from the dead grass in front of him. Fortunately, the "snow leopard" she sat on was not Liu Ziqiu's mortal horse, and she was not flustered, but her four hooves kept digging the snow on the ground, and she snorted.
A round head poked out of the grass, covered with black-brown circular markings, and it was an adult leopard. In the leopard family, the leopard is the largest and most ferocious, and the adult leopard can even compete with the tiger.
Tuoba Qianyu did not panic, and took off the longbow casually.
Qiang women are not inferior to men, and most of them also carry bows and arrows, but because of the difference in arm strength, most of the women carry soft bows, and the power of the arrows shot is limited, and it is difficult to cause real damage to the beast. Although the longbow in Tuoba Qianyu's hand was not as hard as the hard bow made by her brother, it was not an ordinary soft bow, and even in the face of the fierce money leopard, she was sure that she could hit it with one blow, so she had no fear.
When Liu Ziqiu saw it, he also secretly admired it, and was about to see Tuoba Qianyu's archery skills, when he suddenly saw that the eyes of the leopard were not vicious, but seemed to be a little begging, and there seemed to be blood stains under its body.
With a bowstring sound, Tuoba Qianyu had already shot an arrow towards the golden leopard. The arrow was like a meteor, heading straight for the leopard's left eye. Tuoba Qianyu also often hunted with his father and brother, and knew the preciousness of leopard skins, and only by shooting in the eyes would he get a complete leopard skin. She did this with the intention of showing off in front of Liu Ziqiu.
Liu Ziqiu suddenly jumped up vertically, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he held the shaft of the arrow, and the sharp arrow cluster was almost enough to reach the pupil of the golden leopard. Liu Ziqiu's sudden move startled Tuoba Qianyu, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
Tuoba Qianyu was very confident, although the speed of her arrow was not as fast as lightning, but few people could dodge it, but it was firmly grasped by Liu Ziqiu in her hand. And Liu Ziqiu's hand is only a stone's throw away from the golden leopard, and the leopard seems to be able to bite off Liu Ziqiu's hand with just one mouth.
But what surprised her even more was that the leopard did not open its bloody mouth, but closed its eyes and lowered its head, like a lazy and docile big cat.
Liu Ziqiu turned his head and said in a deep voice: "It's injured!" ”
Tuoba Qianyu heard that Liu Ziqiu was a little angry, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue playfully. And Liu Ziqiu was observing the injured leopard and did not see her small movements.
The golden leopard lay motionless in front of Liu Ziqiu like this, and Tuoba Qianyu also wanted to come forward to see what was going on, but Rao was bold enough, and finally she didn't dare to jump off the horse.
Suddenly, I heard Liu Ziqiu shouting: "Come over and help!" ”
When Tuoba Qianyu heard this, he immediately became excited, and the last trace of fear was also left behind, jumped off the horse, and galloped over. The golden leopard sensed Tuoba Qianyu's arrival, suddenly opened his eyes, and let out a low roar, Tuoba Qianyu's face suddenly changed. saw Liu Ziqiu gently touch the leopard's head twice, and the leopard calmed down again.
Liu Ziqiu didn't look back, and whispered: "There are two little guys under its body, you go and pick it up, and the action is light." ”
It turned out that this was a female leopard who had just given birth to her cubs not long ago, and it was not known whether she was seriously injured during the hunt or in a fight with other beasts, and she was already dying. In order to protect the cubs, the dying leopard was reluctant to flee even in the face of Tuoba Qianyu's bow and arrows, and was not even willing to dodge.
The two fluffy leopard cubs are so cute that they haven't even opened their eyes. Tuoba Qianyu held it in his arms and refused to let go. The female leopard struggled to prop up half of her body, looking at Liu Ziqiu and Tuoba Qianyu, there seemed to be a little gratitude in her eyes. Then she heard a "boom", and the female leopard fell down heavily and never got up again.
Seeing Liu Ziqiu staring at the corpse of the female leopard silently, Tuoba Qianyu asked cautiously, "Brother Ziqiu, do you want to dig a pit and bury it?" ”
Liu Ziqiu didn't hear the change in Tuoba Qianyu's name for him, but just shook his head faintly: "Forget it, nature has the laws of nature, let it be." ”
Tuoba Qianyu didn't know what "nature" was, but Liu Ziqiu didn't object to that title, she was still a little complacent, raised her head and beckoned, and the snow leopard ran over. Tuoba Qianyu said softly: "Brother Ziqiu, let's go." ”
Liu Ziqiu woke up suddenly, and said in a lost voice: "Oh, my horse! ”
Tuoba Qianyu smiled: "I just remembered it." Your horse has long since run away without a trace, so ride mine. ”
Liu Ziqiu knew that Tuoba Qianyu's mount was definitely not ordinary, so he hurriedly said: "Then what's the matter, I rode away, what should you do?" ”
Tuoba Qianyu said angrily: "Of course I'm with you!" ”
The snow leopard seemed to hear that they were going to ride with the two of them, and with extreme reluctance, it hissed and gouged its two front hooves on the ground, even when it met the injured female leopard just now, it did not show such a panic.
Tuoba Qianyu didn't care about it, jumped up early, and shouted with anticipation: "Brother Ziqiu, come up quickly." ”
Liu Ziqiu was helpless. Tuoba Qianyu sat very far forward, obviously letting herself sit behind her, and this posture was very ambiguous. But his horse ran away in shock, and in this vast snowy field, riding with Tuoba Qianyu seemed to be the only way, and there was no other choice. Liu Ziqiu could only convince himself that he didn't want to take the initiative to provoke this party princess, the situation was pressing, and he should have another sister.
But the "sister" didn't think so, she handed the reins to Liu Ziqiu's hand very casually, leaned comfortably in Liu Ziqiu's arms, and said while teasing the two leopard cubs: "Brother Ziqiu, you come to ride, I want to take care of these two little guys." ”
Why does this sound so ambiguous? Liu Ziqiu's mind was full of black lines.
But these two little guys are not so easy to take care of, and after walking a short distance, they moved in Tuoba Qianyu's arms, and let out a soft cry of "woo". Tuoba Qianyu seemed to be very experienced, and said seriously: "The two little ones must be hungry, it's time to feed them." ”
Hearing this, it was even more awkward, and Liu Ziqiu couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at, I didn't say I ......" Tuoba Qianyu was halfway through speaking, and found that he also had a speech problem, so he couldn't help but burn his cheeks, pointed to the left front, and said, "Go there, I have a way." ”
