Chapter 4 Undercurrents, Treading the River and Snow (2-in-1)

The whip in the hand of the girl sitting on the back of a crimson horse struck in the air, and she seemed to be a little impatient, and her narrow eyes looked at the young man sitting cross-legged on the grass, and emphasized it again.

"I said, look up."

The atmosphere froze slightly.

Helian Pan's gaze shifted from the girl to the young man in blue who was sitting cross-legged.

Qi Bi He Li silently grabbed the longbow.

Wang Anfeng's body was full of qi latent and extremely peaceful, he nodded, put the instrument in his hand on the grass in front of him, raised his head, the sunlight spilled into his eyes, and he also saw the appearance of the girl clearly, wearing a slightly dull red shirt, sitting on a horse, looking at him condescendingly.

The eyes are narrow and long, and the face is not fair, but there is a sense of spirit.

He was tied to his forehead with a staggered braided forehead of various colored bands, his eyebrows and eyes were flying, and he suddenly laughed, and rode his horse from side to side, and said in a brisk and proud voice:

"Sure enough, there are many people here, only you can see it."

Helian Pan was stunned and touched his face.

The girl said, "I just heard that your music is very good, so you can play music, and I have a wonderful friend who wants to come to this pre-hunting banquet, so you will come to be a musician." ”

Wang Anfeng nodded with a smile, and his voice was gentle:

"If you have gold, there is no difference between falconry and playing tunes."

"It's easier."

The girl seemed to be very satisfied with his knowledge of the times, raised her chin, and said:

"If you play well, the gold will not be given to you, but if you play poorly, you will not be able to miss the whip, can you remember?"

Helian Pan spoke:

"Well, there's no shortage of musicians there."

The girl raised her eyebrows and spoke impatiently: "What do I say, is there room for you to interject?" ”

"Do you want two whips?"

Helian Pan's expression paused, and he smiled helplessly, and said:

"Then it's up to you."

"Hmph."

After a while, the hundreds of horsemen departed as they had come, leaving the falconers where they were, and had no intention of carrying them with them, and whether they had to make a hard journey along the way was not in their consideration, except that if it was a little late, it would have to be whipped.

The seventeen-year-old young man from Cheshi Guo among the falconers smacked his lips and said enviously:

"The Noble Lady of Northern Hungary...... Brother Zhai, haven't you really touched the horsetail before? ”

"It's too enviable......"

A big man next to him raised his hand and patted the young man on the head and laughed.

"Is the kid jealous?"

"Where do I have?!"

"Lift your hands!"

Wang Anfeng got up with a smile, picked up the instrument, put it on his back, looked up at the direction the gang left, thoughtful, and groaned secretly in his heart.

"It's probably from the Hun Wang's, and it's the one with a relatively high status."

"Helian Pan himself is the Northern Hungarian king's family, and he can be so tolerated, I'm afraid only the close relatives of the Northern Hungarian king, the Northern Hungarian king has seven sons, and there should be a lot of daughters, but, why is his daughter here?"

Wang Anfeng retracted his mind and looked at Qi Bi He Li next to him.

"Let's go."

……………………

In the Golden Horde of the Northland.

When there is no war, most of the generals will not gather here, Northern Hungary is different from the Central Plains, there will be no court meetings every day, every Golden Horde must be the grassland, the most brave and good at fighting generals and warriors, compared to the words written on the paper scroll, prefer to gallop on the vast grassland.

It is the diligent administration of this generation of the Golden Horde, who only has to convene his ministers on five days every ten days, but only held a court meeting yesterday, and it will be opened again today, and the ministers are all there.

The king of the Huns closed his eyes and sat on the throne.

The texture of the throne is extremely high, it is three hundred years ago, the first to rule the grassland of the king's subordinates found on the Jade Pot Mountain, after transporting down, all over the world invited skilled craftsmen, carved out, at that time, the relationship between the Central Plains and Northern Hungary was not so tense.

At that time, the great master of the Mo family came from thousands of miles and personally carved this jade seat, the white jade was not the best jade, but he called this huge white jade the first grade in the world, and he was proud of it.

And under the throne.

In the midst of the huge golden tent, which was not inferior to the palace, the two generals, who were still wearing heavy armor, stood up, furiously arguing with each other like two fierce beasts, waving their arms violently, because they had different political opinions, but the fierce momentum was already to the extent that they were only one step away from making a move.

The news from the Jiqiu Kingdom has reached the court of the Xiongnu king.

The border between the Xiongnu and the Central Plains, one is a vast grassland, which was forcibly vacated by the Xiongnu king with an iron fist and turned into a buffer with the Central Plains, and the other part is the cold ice that does not melt all year round, and the glacier and snow country that spreads for thousands of miles, no one lives on it, and it is called a dead land, so there has been no defense.

But now, a cavalry army has entered the glacier.

The predecessor of that army once forcibly broke through the glacier and snow field, and the direct consequence was the collapse of the largest subject country that had secretly attached to the Northern Hungarian Golden Horde, and the change of the royal family, which had taken a hundred years, was used as a pedal, and the plan that was difficult to do was directly stillborn.

And now, here they are.

A tall and burly man slapped the air with his right hand and said in a rough voice:

"Impossible! The current rangers are just enough to be guarded, if the rangers guarding the grassland frontier are withdrawn, then the place facing Qin will be defenseless, and there will be scouts nearby almost every month, and now because only a thousand people have withdrawn, let the border defense have such a big loophole? It's like everyone else is dead. ”

"If it's because of this, let the Great Qin Northern Domain Protectorate directly break through."

"Are you going to stand in the way?!"

Another person said angrily: "Just a thousand people? ”

"At that time, there were only 3,000 people in the Shenwu Mansion, if there were 1,000 elite iron horsemen, everyone cultivated the qi realm, the role of 1,000 people would not be less than 5,000 rangers, the grassland was vast, and the tribes were hunting, if they rushed into it and killed them for sustenance, how many people would it take to catch them?"

"And how much pressure will it put on the tribes?"

"If at that time, the Central Plains people are attacking the east and west, and take the opportunity to launch a large army, how can they stop it?! The backyard glaciers are extremely close to each other, and it is the easiest way to forcibly leave them behind with the same elite rangers, and there can be no chaos inside. ”

"Don't forget, Emperor Wu of Great Qin, as well as the emperors of the previous generation, are still alive!"

"What about being alive? Are you afraid that they won't succeed? It's not like Lao Tzu didn't fight with the emperor back then! ”

The two generals who are both meritorious generals are getting angrier and angrier, and they almost can't help but move, and the officials around them subconsciously retreat to the side, this thing will not happen in the past, and the Hun Golden Horde will not be like a big country in the Central Plains, with all kinds of court rules.

It is common to quarrel because of political disagreement, quarrels, anger and rush to the crown, remove the military equipment, fists and feet are more traditional, as long as the knife is not used, everything is a very normal thing, often there are in and out of the general accompanied by ten thousand horses inside, when going out, the corners of the eyes are black, triumphant.

But this time it seems to have caught fire.

One is a general who was born as a serf and slashed and killed step by step.

The other is a famous general who was born in the royal court, can share weal and woe with the soldiers, and even clashed with Sima Staggered, the governor of the Great Qin Dynasty.

All of them are capable of commanding more than 200,000 large-scale battles, and the top generals are furious.

When the two of them took off their armor and armament, the Hun king sitting on the jade throne opened his eyes.

"Stop."

His voice was low, as if it came directly from the abdomen, but to the ministers and nobles in the Golden Horde, it should be the black wolf running in the snowy night, the deep voice, almost a suppressed roar, everyone on the grassland knew that it was a sign of the black wolf before attacking the prey, representing the killing intention.

The king was angry.

The two generals seemed to have stepped into the air, and when they landed in a cold sweat, they didn't dare to continue arguing, knelt on the ground, and didn't dare to raise their heads.

The nail leaves collide and rattle.

A long time has passed.

The king of the Northern Hun said slowly: "The rangers on the steppe do not move. ”

The general who advocated taking a certain risk and mobilizing the elite in advance raised his head and said, "Your Majesty ...... the king"

The King of the Northern Huns glanced at him.

"You send someone to the Great Snow Mountain."

The general was stunned, and then his color changed.

"Daisetsuzan ......"

………………………

In Jiangnan Road in June, the heat is still the same, under the scorching sun, the willow leaves that should be slender are a little wilted, on the vertical note, the louder the cicada noise is, the poet said, the cicada noise forest is quiet, an old man in a green shirt scratched his neck, but he didn't feel clean, just noisy.

The old man put down his hand, tilted his neck and poured the wine in the cup into his throat, and then stretched out his chopsticks to clip a few delicate and new appetizers made by chopsticks, and ate them refreshingly.

Seeing that the guy on the other side was eating happily, he couldn't help but knock on the table, accentuated his tone, and said:

"I heard that the boy of Gongsun took people to the glacier......"

Liqi Dao took a sip of wine, nodded, and continued to eat.

"I heard that Wang Tiance's son is also there."

"Yes, yes, there."

"Wei Chi, you eat vegetables, eat vegetables, don't be stunned, I'm embarrassed to eat alone."

"By the way, this dish, and this, this, two more servings."

Lirendao gestured with both hands.

The old lieutenant raised his hand expressionlessly, and when the next person served the plate, he took a deep breath, and finally couldn't help but speak, and said:

"Aren't you going to go to the north?"

Liqi Dao crossed Erlang's legs, picked his teeth with a chicken leg bone in his right hand, glanced at him when he heard the words, shook his head, and said:

"North? No, don't go, what are you going to do there? It's very cold, there are only cattle, sheep, cattle and sheep, there is no good taste, don't go, you have to go by yourself. ”

The old lieutenant Chi sneered all over his face:

"What's wrong? Are you scared old boy? ”

Abandon the road slowly:

"Afraid? I'm not afraid. ”

"I know what you're going to do."

"However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings for their children and grandchildren, the blessings are theirs, and the hardships are also theirs, everything is on top of us old immortals, what if we are not there in the future? What if they can't stand it themselves? You still have to do this kind of thing yourself. ”

"While you and I are still alive and alive, we can still hold on, make some mistakes, take some risks, and it's worth it."

Once known as a ghost, a person with a very high position in the contemporary vertical and horizontal veins was full of contempt, his lips were slightly open, and he spit out two words.

"Fart."

Laughing.

Then look in the direction of the north.

"But speaking of which, in the north, that person should still be there."

The old lieutenant raised his eyebrows.

A young man pouring wine next to him looked curious and said, "The two old-timers are talking about ......"

Liqidao took a sip of wine, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly:

"An old immortal who claims to be the first person in the world, the first grandmaster."

………………

When Wang Anfeng and the others arrived at the largest 'city' in the original territory of the Dichuan Khan, the city looked not much different from the royal city, and the Hun city was originally just a local plan, and huge tents were set up in the designated positions, and thousands of them were tribals.

Hundreds of thousands of tops are connected together, and it is a city.

If there is no one, it is empty, and only the vertical and horizontal marks that divide the location of the tent can be seen, like scars from the sea, no regularity, no marking, except for the locals, no one can recognize it at all.

At this time, the grass on the grassland is extremely abundant, and most of the herdsmen have already carried their cattle, sheep and tents, wandering throughout the grassland, until there is something important and important, and they will turn back and make grand transactions here, preparing to spend the long winter.

Seventeen-year-old Che Ou couldn't help but smack his tongue and looked back and forth at the scenery here.

He had been rescued by Qi Bi He Li in the last year, and had not seen a city composed of so many tents, the big tent was very dense, there were many people, and the road was narrow, so he could only come down and lead the horse on foot, and he was a little unable to come back to his senses for a while, and was pulled forward by the big man in the falconer team, still shouting in a low voice:

"Many, many, I didn't expect that there are so many people here......"

"There are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, and the sword ......"

I finally came back to my senses, and I was still chattering.

"So many people I haven't seen before, they don't seem to be dressed here, I've never seen them like that, and the material doesn't seem to be sheepskin and wool......"

"Silk? That's the silk that people often talk about, right? Or satin? ”

"The quality is better than the blue cloth, but it looks thin, does not block the wind, and is definitely not warm enough."

A falconer man rolled his eyes and said:

"Don't understand, do you? The martial arts in the Central Plains are practiced at the beginning, as long as you have that sense of qi, you can resist the cold when you run Zhou Tian, just like wearing an unsightly piece of clothing, which is more cold-proof than wool or something. ”

Qi Ou suddenly realized and said in a low voice:

"So...... Are you from the Central Plains? ”

"I heard that more than 20 years ago, a large number of people from the Central Plains came here, and the then King of the Northern Huns took these people in, gave them official positions, and then took root here."

"These people are the warriors of the Central Plains?"

The gentle voice replied:

"The warriors of the Central Plains can do it, but these are not the warriors of the Central Plains school."

Qi Ou was stunned and looked up at the person next to him who was speaking.

Wang Anfeng smiled at him and said gently:

"It's from the Western Regions."

Qi Ou was stunned again.

"From the Western Regions?"

"Brother Zhai, how do you know?"

Wang Anfeng said casually: "I've met, so I know it." ”

"Don't talk about that, find an empty place outside, put up the tent, I think there will continue to be more people now, and after a while, it will be difficult to find a place."

"Oh, oh, I'll go right then."

The falconer's team found a flat ground around this tented city, and set up the tent they carried with them.

The tent was set up very neatly, and the shovel was taken out and the marching stove was skillfully planed.

When the time comes, put firewood here, and then set up an iron pot, you can cook haggis soup, Qi Ou said while working, in order to be able to eat the freshest and hottest mutton soup, he brought with him a large handful of fresh red dried chili ground powder.

Any meat, whether it's a barbecue or broth, sprinkle it with a handful and the taste can be raised by several notches.

It's just that it's more difficult when I'm going to be respectful.

After the ceremony, it was really painful to deal with hemp paper and large dried leaves, which made everyone laugh.

Wang Anfeng chuckled a light smile and quietly looked at the direction of the center.

and beside the king's tent in the very middle, the four tents.

Helian Pan took off his shoes and stepped on the blanket, sat cross-legged at the table, and a maid in a horse skirt served him hot milk wine, Helian Pan took it with a smile, took a big sip, and went down most of the time in one breath before he took a breath and looked up at the old man opposite.

Different from the tall, light-eyed brown-haired Huns, the old man's facial features are softer, his long hair is already silver-white, tied up with a hosta, his expression is very elegant, and he sipps slowly, and the cup is not filled with milk wine, but a good tea that is rare on the grassland.

When the old man saw him look up, he asked gently:

"All those Jianghu people are here?"

Helian Pan nodded and said with a smile:

"Yes, as the old gentleman said, he came early."

The old man smiled calmly:

"It's normal, the Western Regions have a large area, but they are very chaotic, there is no unity, the so-called big factions in the rivers and lakes have no way to really compare with the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains, the previous Lord of the Shenwu Mansion traversed the rivers and lakes of the Western Regions, and there were more than a dozen big factions who wanted to make friends with it, that is, with the Qin State."

"Then relatively, there must be Jianghu sects that need to come here."

"It's inevitable."

Helian Pan raised an eyebrow.

"Inevitably?"

The old man said lightly:

"Yes, it's inevitable."

"Even if they are as close as brothers, and live and die together as brothers and sisters, it will be so."

"It's the sorrow of the vulnerable."

Helian Pan sighed and said with emotion:

"This is the so-called trade-off of the Central Plains? But I have seen it. ”

The old man asked again, "Is there nothing wrong with it this time?" ”

Helian Pan smiled: "Except for the favored little princess who suddenly said that she wanted to comfort the princess, and her inexplicable friend, there is nothing out of the ordinary. ”

"There are more than 30 large and small Jianghu sects that have come this time, and the largest sect is Rose Xue among the thirty-six sects, an elder in the sect, and a big disciple, all of whom came."

"I see......"

After a few moments, Helian Pan drank the mare's milk wine from the cup, wiped his mouth, and got up to leave.

After walking out, he glanced back at the big tent and sneered at the old dog.

Then he went forward again, smiling.

In the big tent, the girl who had been by Helian Pan's side the previous time and was invited to see the scenery of the grassland turned out from behind, and poured tea for the old man silently, cup after cup, three cups in a row, the old man sighed and said:

"It's finally the day."

"I thought I was hopeless ...... this life"

"The king of Khan is dead, so he instigated Qin and Northern Xinjiang to ride into the Central Plains with the Northern Hungarian Iron."

"The day when we will drive the tiger and devour the wolf and restore the orthodoxy of our country will not be long in coming."

at the border.

An arrogant maid rode on a fiery horse and came to summon him.

Wang Anfeng, Qi Ou and the others smiled, and under the envious gaze of the young man, they put down the simple and simple horsetail, followed the maid, passed through the overlapping Northern Hun cities, and walked into the king's tent.
