Volume 2 Youzhou Song Chapter 56 Saibei Khan Tartar
"Didn't I say it, I said it wrong!" Lu Qing was so anxious that he was in a hurry, and he made a blind gesture.
Although he was not convinced, he was also clear in his heart, this woman's strength was definitely not below him, he calmed a trace of anger in his heart, "Come on!"
Lu Qing patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "I came to Luoyang to meet you, of course there is something reliable!"
"Why me?" the old man frowned, puzzled.
"Oh, it's you, what's the matter!" Lu Qing crossed his hands on his hips, looking impatient, "Okay, okay, I'll order it directly!"
The woman pretended to be serious, and coughed lightly, "Gao Xianzhi, your life is coming to an end, I will give you a piece of advice, you should not be involved in the affairs of the court, otherwise your old life will be ruined." ”
When she said the latter paragraph, she almost spit out word by word, and looked at the old man with a hint of a smile.
Gao Xianzhi's old face turned sideways, "Born as a Tang Chen, do your best! How can you listen to the nonsense of a girl's family!"
Lu Qing shook his head helplessly, "I've put my words here, it's up to you to think of it or not." ”
As soon as the words fell, she didn't linger any longer, Tsing Yi shook and turned to leave.
"Why me?" Gao Xianzhi raised his voice, and a breath of air poured into his voice, and it was like a wave of air roaring away!
The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and the wave of qi was frozen in place, and then dissipated, leaving no movement at all!
"The general of the Tang Dynasty Western Regions, the elder of the Three Dynasties, I, Lu Qing, admire your old man, and have a drink with you, I have leaked half of this matter, and the old general cherishes it!"
Lu Qing's crisp voice echoed in the courtyard, constantly reaching the ears of the old man, and the woman was no longer in the hall.
Gao Xianzhi was in place, this person's strength was unfathomable, but he had never heard of such a person, when Lu Qing's voice echoed, his always steady body trembled unconsciously.
"Sir, are you still going to the afternoon teahouse?" asked the servant tentatively.
"Go, I'm an idler, I should do an idler's business!"
——
The north is very different from the Central Plains and the south, not to mention the cold climate, in terms of land quality, most of the hard land in the north can only be used to grow sweet potatoes and other crops.
The land in the south and the Central Plains allowed them to grow rice in large quantities, and the grain production was extremely high!
Because of this, it has become the consensus of many people that most of the bandits come from the north, and the situation has become more tense with the integration of the Saibei people.
Therefore, there were many garrisons and fortifications in the north, and the fields were divided as much as possible, even to reduce conflicts.
The south and the Central Plains were much richer by the north.
As an unremarkable village in the north, Chishui Village is co-located with the people of Saibei, sharing the few lands together and planting them separately.
Lin Ying and the others followed the black-faced man and a group of people, and after half a day of running, they finally came to the village in their mouth.
She couldn't believe it when she entered the village, black was the main color of their village, and the outer walls and houses were blackened by fire.
In order to prevent the wind from disturbing, the thatch on the roof was added layer after layer, and chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs were seen around, and most of the families were tied to horses.
Depressed, dry, and the strange eyes of the villagers when they came in, the three of them felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"I didn't expect there to be such a village......" Keli swallowed.
"It's as if the north has been forgotten by the Tang Dynasty. ”
The black-faced man scratched his head, "Hehe, don't dislike our place, heroes." ”
"Uncle, don't you all raise some chickens and ducks or something?" Lin Ying must have somewhat understood their feelings as horse bandits, the family was surrounded by walls, and there was nothing to eat to eat.
"The harvest is not good, let alone raising livestock, people are going to starve to death, and several families have killed all the horses in the family!"
When the group arrived at the place, they all got off their horses, and the black-faced man ordered his men to lead the horses to the dilapidated stable.
The adobe house had been burned with fire to reinforce it, and the walls of the house had been blackened by the perennial fire.
A woman wrapped in an old cotton robe hurriedly walked out with her infant child in her arms, her skin was yellow, and she looked at Lin Ying and the others with a panicked expression.
"This is my lady, child, let's go in and have a cup of hot water!" the black-faced man led everyone into the house.
There was indeed nothing in the house, and apart from a few tables and chairs, there was only the bed left, and the black-faced man said something to the woman.
The woman prostituted Nian Xingchen and the others from time to time, then nodded continuously, and gently placed the child in the arms of the black-faced man.
"Let's sit down first, my lady will make some hot dishes, you are our great benefactor!" the black-faced man beckoned to them while holding the child.
Ke Li stared at the black wall around him and reminded: "Your wall is cracked, aren't you afraid of leaking at night?"
"Just cover the bed tightly!" said the black-faced man with a smile as he teased his child.
Lin Ying asked, "These are all caused by those Saibei people who are grabbing land with you?"
"Since they annexed our land, there is simply not enough food to eat every year, let alone sell it in the city, and people in the village still starve to death from time to time, otherwise we would not have become robbers!"
"Take us to see it, okay?" Lin Yingmei's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he proposed.
"This ...... It's okay for the heroes to look at it, but I'll take care of my own children, so be it, little Liuzi!" the black-faced man shouted outside the house.
Outside the door, a thin figure hurried in, with almost no flesh on his face, skin and bones, and terrifyingly thin.
"You take the three of you to the Saibei people quietly. ”
"Me?"
"What are you afraid of, there are a few heroes here, and you are still afraid that the people of Saibei will embarrass you?"
"Yes!" Xiao Liuzi was stunned for a while, thinking that the eldest brother didn't want to let himself go to the Saibei people, it turned out that there were still these three!
The three of them followed the footsteps of Xiao Liuzi, and most of the scenes in Chishui Village were similar to those of the black-faced big man's family, and some of the children didn't even have their shoes, and they were playing outside under the blankets.
Lin Ying felt a pain in her heart for some reason, she was in Chang'an, thinking that everyone in the Tang Dynasty in the world was as rich and well-fed as Chang'an, thinking that she was so wrong that they couldn't even eat.
Nian Xingchen saw the three children gathered together, one was draped in a quilt, one seemed to be wearing his parents' clothes, and the other was wearing two vests, rubbing his hands from time to time.
The children gathered around and dug into the ground with their hands and rocks, looking for wild vegetables in the field, which was the best food they could get at the moment.
"Hero, look at that wooden fence, even if it was built by the Saibei people, don't let us pass, otherwise it will be a good fight!" Xiao Liuzi's words pulled Lin Ying and Nian Xingchen back.
The wooden fence, with a sharp thorn in front of it, was about eight feet long, and one was horizontal between the two groups.
The stables over there are neatly built, and from time to time there is the mellow aroma of winemaking, and there are some long, slightly ironic laughter of the Saibei people.
"Can I go over?"
Xiao Liuzi was stunned by Lin Ying's question, "This, I'm afraid it's ......"
Lin Ying turned to smile, "Finally, it's true, is it true that they robbed you of your land?"
Her beautiful eyes smiled into a slit, and Xiao Liuzi was only a little scared!
"Yes!"
"Lin Ying!" Nian Xingchen just wanted to stop it, but the woman could hold back, and the scabbard in her hand gently waved over the wooden fence, dividing it into two sections!
"I'll seek justice for you!" Lin Ying's sassy and heroic posture is so mighty!
"We didn't say we wanted to help them on this trip!" Nian Xingchen stepped forward and grabbed Lin Ying's sleeve and said.
Lin Ying leaned on Nian Xingchen's ear and whispered, "Since they are all from Saibei, how many sets of information!" After speaking, she brushed her sleeves.
This sound not only attracted many Tang people to gather here, but also accompanied by a few horse roars, and several Saibei people wearing felt hats also followed the sound.
They all looked like jujubes, thinking that they had experienced the baptism of the cold wind for a long time, with high noses and deep eyes, thick beards, and tall figures.
The leader shook his horsewhip and shouted, "Who is it?"
Like a vicious wolf on the road, the Tang people who surrounded him all retreated and hid far away one by one.
"I!" Lin Ying stepped forward, holding his sword and slamming his shoulder with a disdainful expression.
Not to mention that Lin Ying is a beautiful embryo, the Saibei people also dilated their pupils one by one after seeing it, and they were quite intoxicated.
"Hey, you've robbed other people's fields and won't return them!" shouted Ke Li.
"The little doll from there, tired of it?" As soon as the Saibei people on the side said this, everyone laughed.
"In Xia Khantar, are you outsiders, do you? want to get the land back for the people of Chishui Village?" said the leader with a straight face.
"Not bad!"
"What's this girl's name?"
"Hey, that guy Khan Tartar, your guy insulted the Dao Master just now!" Kori interrupted his questioning.
Khan Tartar smiled softly. "I'm sorry, but it's also true that we Saibei people look down on people who are weaker than ourselves!"
"You!" Ke Li jumped like thunder, and was about to immediately pull out the wooden sword behind his back, but was pressed down by Nian Xingchen.
"Don't be exposed!" Nian Xingchen reminded in a low voice.
The three of them were ordered to go north, and no one knew that they were coming, so don't do it until you have to!
Nian Xingchen didn't know why he stopped him, these people killed just right, could it be that he really became smart as Lin Ying said?
"This girl, I apologize for the actions just now, my subordinates have insulted your people, is the girl willing to be my spouse?" Khan Tatar politely dismounted, and even bowed, and asked again.
Ke Li scolded directly in his heart, he didn't expect this Saibei man to be so shameless, and he actually came to court!
What he didn't know was that most of the people in Saibei lived on horses, and once they met the person they liked, most of them would express their love on the spot, because the days spent together were short.
