Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Jackal Is Coming

readx; Autumn in the northwest came swiftly and mercilessly, the hot and dry winds brought by the autumn tigers sucked up the last trace of moisture on the earth, and the grass on the grasslands had turned yellow, and they were not killed by the cold wind, but died of thirst. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cattle and sheep, which could no longer replenish water from the grass, soon died on the edge of the dry ponds, and the smell of corpses was overwhelming.

The shepherds, who had lost their cattle and sheep, had no choice but to carry their saddles aimlessly through the grasslands, and many fell to the ground as they walked, never to get up.

Qingyi Ghost Chapter stood sadly on the edge of a dry pond, looking up at the still scorching sun, wanting to scream but couldn't make any sound, it's already autumn, why hasn't a drop of rain fallen?

A group of samurai stripped off their perennial fur jackets and dug holes in the pond naked, hoping to find some water from the land full of rolls of glue, and the dry pond was surrounded by horses fluttering their ears in the hope that they would get some water sooner.

Watching the big pit dug by the samurai gradually deepen, Qingyi's face became more and more ugly, the deeper the pit, the more serious the drought, the two consecutive years of drought, resulting in more and more difficult to do the work of finding water.

Qingyi Ghost Chapter remembers very clearly, in the early years, this was a good place with abundant water and grass, the shepherds sang and grazed on the half-human-high grass, the cattle and sheep were full of food and reproduced in the grass, the annual shepherds' autumn gathering was simply a great ceremony, the elders would pour the mare's milk wine and worship the gods and then they would drink the wine in the wooden bowl, at that time there were endless hand-held meat, there were endless butter tea, and the fragrance of cheese residue still seems to be wafting here.

Qingyi even remembered that when he was fourteen years old, he dragged a red-faced shepherd girl into the grass here, and he completed his transformation from a boy to a man on that full moon night.

"Green oats out of the ear sling, black clouds. It was raining in the gorge;

A pair of eyes smile, good talent, I can't help but love you"

Hum the song softly. Qingyi Ghost Chapter really wanted to see the beautiful girl in the past, but it was a pity that his eyes were full of desolation and his heart ached.

Qingtang didn't have to be so painful. In the year of the great drought, as long as you migrate to the Yellow River, the Datong River or the plateau, you can completely avoid such a crisis.

It's a pity that the army of Pang did not hide the Yellow River, and the Dong Yu brothers did not allow the Western Xia jackals to hurt the tribe in order to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, so they ordered the herdsmen to migrate to the interior, and the herdsmen who deviated from the Yellow River and Datong finally tried the most painful consequences.

Qingtang is a godsend. The blue sky in the west, the Yellow River in the east, the rain all the year round, there will be neither white disaster here, nor wind disaster, it is the paradise of cattle, sheep and horses to survive, now, this paradise not only suffered from natural disasters, but also attracted the prying eyes of jackals.

He was a hungry wolf passing by, while Yun Zheng was a jackal hiding in the shadows and drooling over the Qingtang grassland.

In the past, his impression of Yun Zheng was not so bad. But after experiencing the battle of Qin Wangchuan, the Qingtang warriors couldn't take any advantage in front of the cowardly Song army, so he nailed his eyes to the smile that warmed people's hearts. Speaking of the handsome young man who is liked, he can't figure out how this person can change from a powerless scholar to a villain in this world in a short period of time, and when he thinks of Zhang Zhi's ironclad army, his spine is chilling.

"The bridge of blue stone railing and jade, the bridge falls down, and the railing falls down; If you meet in today's days, will you meet Hachili in the morning? The crescent knife held by Master Guan, Huarong Dao beheaded Cao Cao; Nowadays, you should guard against friendship, and good kindness should be revenged! (From the Flower Collection, a study of flowers in the Tang and Song dynasties.) I don't understand why there is Huarong Dao, but I can't find a more appropriate flower word. I had to use it with suspicion. )

sang another paragraph in a low voice, and Qingyi couldn't help but get irritable. He also gave the best Wen Yu in the family to that person, and when he was leaving, the person hugged his shoulder and said that he would spare himself for a lifetime, and at that time I thought that this guy was changing the law to ask for a chance to live, but I didn't expect that after a few years, that person became an almost insurmountable mountain, and it was pressed on the hearts of Qingtang people, and the promise of sparing his life seemed to have a chance to come true.

When the water had been dug out, the pit was already a foot deep, and the warriors brought up a bucket of mud soup with leather buckets, and the thirsty horses immediately plunged their heads into it and drank greedily.

The birds on the grassland also flew down one after another, landing at the mouth of the well to find water to drink, Qingyi Jiegui Zhang felt that he could catch the big bird with a flower tail as long as he stretched out his hand, and neither he nor the other samurai were in the mood to do such a thing at this time.

Several horsemen galloped over from the horizon, and the horses were whirring and panting, and running in such weather was a very heavy burden for both men and horses.

The cavalryman's pants were wet, and that was not because of the peeing of the pants, those water stains were completely caused by the sweat of the people and the sweat of the war horses. Hearing the hoarse voice of the cavalry, Qingyi Jiegui Zhang untied his water bladder and threw it over, the cavalry took the water bladder and drank it, and then carefully poured the water into a silver plate to feed the horse, at this time the war horse was more important to the knight.

"The Song people lost Qinwangchuan Dazhai and Xiaoluomen Dazhai, but they set up an ambush in Qinwangchuan Dazhai and killed Kui Ming Shoucheng, and the ambush of Xiaoluomen Dazhai was useless." A cavalryman sat on the ground and reported to the Qingyi Ghost Chapter.

Qingyi said faintly: "Did the Song people retreat because they couldn't resist or did they retreat on purpose?" ”

The cavalry thought for a while and said: "It's a failure to escape, I can see it very clearly on the mountain, the Song people really can't hold it, the wall has been broken in three places, three days at most, no, at most one day, the Xixia people can attack the Qinwangchuan village!" ”

Qingyi Jie Ghost Zhang let out a long breath and said: "That's good, that's good, blind medicine, you are the eagle eye of the Ear Wipe Clan, your judgment will not be wrong, as long as the Song people are defeated and escaped, so they will not have time to calculate us, and they have not hidden the old dog that Pang has brought endless disasters to Qingtang, and this revenge must be avenged."

Now there is no hidden Pang and the Song people in Qinwangchuan battle, the most fierce Zhang Zhi was also killed by the cunning Yun Zheng, which left a good opportunity to attack them, Yun Zheng laid a trap in Qinzhou, did not hide Pang will not go in, now they Xixia people have taken enough materials and territory from the Hui people, he is the minister of state, need to go back to deal with this matter as soon as possible, the way back to the army still has to pass through my Qingtang, it is time to tell the truth that the land of Qingtang is not allowed to be trampled on by others. ”

Blind medicine slapped away the head of a horse and stuffed his head into the cold bucket, then stood up and shook off the water droplets on his head and said: "This is natural, the Qingtang warriors have not been humiliated like this, I originally wanted to ask Dong Yu, why did you let Wuzang Pang come to Qingtang, we could have defeated him on the bank of the Yellow River, when the old leader was alive, we did this, could it be said that Dong Yu became less bold when he became the leader?" Can't you get on a war horse and fight when you lie on a woman's belly all day long? ”

Qingyi Ghost Zhang was a little unhappy, and roared in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, the leader has never had a good night's sleep these days, the newly married bride of the Po Meng Luo Jiao clan is still a virgin, and letting go of the city defense is something that we all decided together, how can you put all the blame on the leader at this time?" ”

Blind medicine kicked the withered grass under his feet and said hatefully: "Since the old leader was seriously ill, disaster has befallen Qingtang, and the grassland that will not have a great disaster has now become a place of death, you look at the dead livestock corpses, don't you understand when you see them?" Isn't that telling, that the wild wolves that specialize in eating carcasses have left the grassland, and the goshawks, which specialize in eating carrion, are no longer coming to us? The disaster was brought by Dong Yu, and it was he who killed his relatives that caused the gods to be angry and brought the disaster to the grassland! ”

Qingyi Ghost Zhang pinched the throat of the blind medicine, lifted him up with one hand, looked at the blind medicine coldly and said, "From now on, shut your stinky mouth!" If I hear you say these words again, I'll screw your head off. ”

The body of the blind medicine kept kicking in mid-air, but he didn't dare to touch the Qingyi Ghost Chapter, and he was about to die, so the Qingyi Ghost Chapter put him down, sat down next to the blind medicine who was panting quickly, and said: "I don't need to tell you the truth that an arrow will be easily broken, right?" If you wipe and Shuiba clan leave the big family of Qingtang, you will not be able to live, as long as Dong Yu orders to abandon you, there will be countless tribes who will immediately devour you and strip you alive.

This year, there is no grass due to drought, but as long as there is a spring rain next year, the earth will still grow full of lush grass dedicated to cattle and sheep, and the difficulties are temporary, as long as you get through, your family will still prosper in the future. ”

After coughing a few times, he mounted his war horse, whipped his whip, and ran back into the depths of the grassland with his subordinates.

Qingyi Ghost Zhang looked at the figure of the blind medicine far away, and the worry in his eyes could not disappear no matter what.

This time I inspected the Qingtang tribe, and it was not the first time I heard such remarks, and I wanted to find out the source of the rumors, but I couldn't find out, such a piece of language that attacked the legitimacy of Dong Yu's status seemed to be brought by the eagle from afar, and no one spread it, but many tribes have heard such words.

The clever Qingyi Ghost Chapter soon discovered that outsiders who came into contact with these tribes that had spread rumors had some cunning Song merchants in addition to themselves in this great wilderness year! (To be continued)
