Chapter 59: Dismounting
A burst of broken footsteps broke the tranquility of the lakeside, Abaoji's sister trotted over, muttering to Huyan Guanyin, Xu Fengnian, who had made up for the reckless words, learned that it was a ewe who was about to give birth, and Huyan Guanyin should be a master of lambing. Together to the sheepfold, quietly watched her methodically deliver the lamb, after the completion of the work, the most stubborn back picked up a wisp of sideburns green silk, full of smiles. Because of the flight and migration, most of the tribe's sheep are thin and fat, and it is not easy to survive the harsh winter, and lambing has become the top priority after camping. The tiger-headed tiger brain Abaoji couldn't bear it, chased around in the sheepfold, and finally a hungry tiger pounced on the sheep, pounced on a slightly smaller lamb, grabbed the hind hooves, stood up and lifted the lamb is a messy dance, domineering, Xu Fengnian was a little dumbfounded, the little guy's sister crossed the waist and reprimanded, said that it was unreasonable, so he went to be twisted his ears, after the little guy let go, the sister went to catch the other lamb without paying attention, during which he was kicked countless sheep's hooves, covered in muddy dung, until the idle Huyan Guanyin persuaded softly, and finally let go of the poor lamb in the circle。 Abaoji didn't want to take a bath, and even Huyan Guanyin couldn't persuade him, Xu Fengnian grabbed the collar of the naughty little rabbit cub, and when he arrived at the lake, he hula and threw it into the water, and the little guy was not angry, just swimming in the lake, silly and happy.
In the next two days, Xu Fengnian watched the tedious work of this small tribe with a cold eye, regardless of men, women and children, they all had a clear division of labor, and they were not lazy, grazing, milking, making cheese, digging wells, tanning, leather making, felt, collecting dung and rubbing hemp, as long as the strength was enough, there were always busy things, Xu Fengnian did not intervene to help, just silently calculated how much land cost a herdsman or a warrior to control the strings, and talked with Huyan Guanyin, only to know that the previous generation of the Ludao tribe had produced several members of the cowardly Xue army of the Beimang Royal Court, and they had to avoid many miscellaneous taxes of the tribe, otherwise with the manpower and material resources of the clan, they needed to hunt large wild animals or even plunder other departments to support it, but these two things were too riskyEvery day, small tribes of this size on the steppe decay or are annexed, and they migrate here, and they are lucky enough to occupy a lake, and they can only hope for the local Siti Extrajudicial mercy and the weakness of the neighboring tribes. During this period, Xu Fengnian had a secret conversation with the old patriarch, and afterwards Huyan Guanyin finally put on a rough face that came out of the hurry, which opened the eyes of the tribal herdsmen, and they regarded Xu Fengnian more and more as a strange figure reincarnated by the Bodhisattva. At noon on the third day, Xu Fengnian, who was meditating by the lake, looked to the north and finally came. It's just that it's much bigger than the expected battle.
The owner of the pasture, Siti Chaer, sat on a tall horse, a sturdy man dressed in wolfskin, with his hair shaved near his ears and forehead, two braids tied behind his ears, and a large falcon resting on his shoulder. With a wave of his big hand, one hundred and ten horsemen behind him shouted and roared and rushed out, galloping around the camp, this is not a terrifying means, especially shocking is that there are two cages next to Cha'er, each holding a money cheetah and a tiger captured from the two Liao, the two beasts that were originally curled up and napping seemed to smell blood, and suddenly stood up in the cage, roared in a deep voice, and pounced on the iron fence with sharp claws, choosing people to devour. Hu Yanbao, the patriarch of the thousand-mile migration, led the members of the tribe to gather together tremblingly, without weapons, and did not dare to make a posture of resistance, cross-border migration would have been a loss, if it were not for the fact that there were no valuable treasures in the clan, Hu Yanbao would have personally gone to the new Siti who would have the power of life and death of the whole clan in the future. Xu Fengnian and Huyan Guanyin did not walk out of the tent, and there was still an indignant Abaoji hiding beside them, looking at the high-spirited Xiti guards through the gaps, but in the end their eyes stayed on a pair of master-servant guys beside Xiti, the young man with a fox fur and a wolf hat, carrying a sword at his waist, unlike the knight, he was sitting cross-legged on horseback and looking at his cheeks, with an indifferent expression. The old man in the brocade robe was restrained, although Xu Fengnian immediately restrained his snooping gaze, but perhaps Huyan Guanyin showed clues, the old man noticed something strange, and looked straight at it, his eyes were cold.
The cavalry narrowed the encirclement, completely denying Huyan Anbao the opportunity to get close to Sititao.
Every year, the empress comes to the Beimang royal court in the autumn of the large-scale hunting, but it is more spectacular, just the periphery to expel the prey, it takes two months to mobilize tens of thousands of armor soldiers, the queue is neat, slowly advancing, there is a royal cowardly Xue army responsible for supervising the army, the formation is strictly in accordance with the established route to advance, the slightest deviation, it will be dragged to the cane beating, if there is a prey escape from the encirclement during the period, the ten commanders are killed on the spot, the centurion is dismissed from the official position, and the thousand commanders are demoted to one class. When the hunting circle is narrowed to the point where the soldiers are only two or three pa, the ropes are connected and covered with felt, and the wild beasts in the circle are gathered, countless, lions and donkeys are in the same place, cattle and horses collide, jackals, foxes and rabbits are crowded, and then there is a slaughtering feast that enters in descending order with the rank of lord.
The captivator shook his shoulders slightly, the big falcon flapped its wings and flew into the sky, and then the Sitti smiled and clapped his hands cruelly, and when the cavalry hunting circle opened, several unclothed thorn-faced beast slaves immediately opened the cage, took out the restless howling tiger and leopard, released the reins, and the wild and untamable leopard and tiger rushed out side by side, skillfully pounced on the herdsmen in the circle. When the tiger and leopard run, the slender and dynamic strong body is especially highlighted, which means that after contact, it is an incomparably bloody bite, a hundred steps away, and it will arrive in an instant.
The two middle-aged herdsmen who guarded the patriarch had participated in many wild animal hunts, and although they did not have spears and arrows in their hands, they still stood out of the queue, first striding and then galloping, hedging away with the lions and tigers out of the cage. The smile on the corner of his mouth is full of disdain, he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he is not an ordinary prey to raise tigers and leopards carefully raised, the wildness is far stronger than the initial capture of several times, only when he travels to hunt is imprisoned in the cage, the rest of the time is in the cattle and sheep pen, when to bite all the livestock, when to change the pen and raise, punish the herdsmen in the tribe who violate the ban, and put them into the circle, that is, those horns with amazing strength to resist the masters, still no match for the tiger and leopard A few rounds of culling and biting, only one person has survived for many years, and an arm has been bitten off afterwards。
Almost at the same time, the two herdsmen were pounced on by the sturdy and nimble tiger and leopard, biting off their necks, gently sliding their five paws, dissecting their stomachs, and the two beasts bowed their heads and gnawed, the flesh and blood were blurred, and when the herdsmen's limbs completely stopped convulsing, the tigers and leopards invariably raised their heads and looked at the frightened herdsmen in the circle.
Seeing this tragic situation in the tent, Abaoji's face was full of tears, and he was about to rush out of the house to fight for his life, but Xu Fengnian held his head down, threw it back, and fell back into the house, he picked up the cotton hanging carpet used as a curtain and swept away. Xu Fengnian didn't expect this Si Ti to be so painful to kill the killer, generally speaking, although the cross-border herdsmen can be killed by the Manchus, but it is true to know that Lu Dao is in the grassland desert, and human life is not valuable, but it is not the same thing as Beimang Xiti attaches importance to the number of young and strong people in the tribe who can control the horse war, and the women on the grassland remarry loosely, so that it is beyond the etiquette and shame of the people in the Central Plains, and every time the war Beimang spares no effort to plunder the border people of the Yang Dynasty to settle in the north, all because in the final analysis, the strength of the competition between the big and small Siti is measured by the most intuitive number of horses and headsAs long as Siti is strong and not afraid of being an enemy of his predecessor, most of them are willing to be accepted. Huyan Guanyin's tribe wandered for thousands of miles, and the original Siti was destined to be out of reach, and it was a wealth for any Siti who was not short of water and grass, and it was nothing more than spending some money to deal with the boss in charge of the nomadic household registration, which was equivalent to more than 30 more tabernacle tax sources, Xu Fengnian really did not expect that as soon as the Siti and the herdsmen who rushed to hear the news met, they would be bloody and powerful, and they would simply slaughter the clan.
The handsome young man with a sword at his waist raised his eyebrows.
The brocade-robed old man was about to speak, but the young man shook his chin and signaled that he didn't need to pay attention.
Xu Fengnian toe a little, his figure jumped over the head of the cavalry, and after landing, he just blocked in front of the old patriarch, the tiger opened his bloody mouth, Xu Fengnian ignored the tiger claws that were blocked by the rhubarb court mirage, grabbed the upper and lower jaws with both hands, and tore it gently, tearing the king of the mountains and forests in half and throwing it in front of him.
Cracked tigers and leopards, but that's it.
There was only one leopard left, which stopped suddenly, obviously feeling a huge sense of crisis, and did not dare to pounce easily. Captured Cha'er was furious and snorted coldly, and the beast tamer began to shout, directing the cheetah to kill. The shiny-haired cheetah finally couldn't hold back its restlessness, rushed in a straight line, folded ten paces away, leaped five steps to one side, and then pounced swiftly on the right hand side of its prey. Xu Fengnian realized the momentum of the broken river in the canyon, and he didn't see a shot, let alone a knife, and the body of the prey was cut off in the air, and this time it was the turn of the capture Cha'er and more than 100 cavalrymen to be dumbfounded. The fox Qiu young man's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth twitched, it was really an unexpected joy, the Siti around him led the troops to strangle this hundred-person tribe, it was his high-powered Tuoba little son who instructed him, on the grassland, there may be a powerful Siti who can not sell the face of the children of Yelu Murong and the two clans, but no one will dare to disobey his orders, in the desert, his father's words are almost equivalent to the holy decree of the empress, if it is in the Beimang army, it is even better, the key is that the empress has never felt that the empress has never felt that the merit is high, she has no suspicion about this military god who came out of the party department, and her trust is beyond limit。 Therefore, in the northern royal court, if you are a relative of the emperor and the prince and grandson, if you meet the two sons of the god of war, you must also bow your head.
This young man, known as Xiao Tuoba, killed 600 people with his own hands all the way, how could there ever be a Siti who went to the empress to say more than half a word? However, there was no shortage of Siti who personally led the horse Gong out of the country for him.
Xiao Tuoba still held his cheeks, tilted his head and smiled: "You are a remnant of the Spring and Autumn Period in which state of the Southern Dynasty, it is better to be my fake son, you will have the glory and wealth that you can't enjoy in your life." ”
The powerful people of Beimang like to accept the custom of fake children, which is similar to the righteous son of the Liyang Dynasty, but the status is often only slightly higher than that of the slave and maid.
The young man smiled, and said lightly: "I know that you Spring and Autumn untouchables have some senseless backbone, if you refuse to agree, after killing all these herdsmen, I will take you under the knife, bury you in the yellow sand, peel off your scalp, and water the mercury." ”
Xu Fengnian didn't talk nonsense politely with this fang, but just said calmly: "Speak well." ”
The young man in the fox fur and wolf hat who was sitting cross-legged on horseback was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from laughter, stared at the saber man in the hunting circle, but asked the brocade-robed demon beside him, "When will Hui Hui arrive?"
The old man's eyes sparkled, and he smiled: "A moment later." It's rare to have delicious food delivered to the door, and the little master won't do it himself this time?"
The young man pouted and said, "I'm in a good mood today, I'm still thinking about whether to accept him as a fake, or to peel him and expose him to the sun." ”
The old man stepped out of the column with the belly of the horse and asked, "Then the old slave will play with him for a while?"
Xiao Tuoba, who didn't think that there were a few people in Beimang who were worthy of his own jealousy, nodded lightly.
Xu Fengnian's Huang Ting instantly poured like a flood, his figure swept like a long rainbow, pressed on the forehead of the young man in the wolf hat with one hand, pushed him off the horse, and slid on the ground for a distance of five or six zhang.
