"Shhhhh What's so strange about being a witch? Defending the country near the north, witch wind prevails, what is this. ”

Ye Zi was a little embarrassed: "I ------ you have done your old job, but where will I be?" ”

"You don't need to, you just follow me."

Ye Zi was relieved at this time, and the two of them gossiped again: "Why did you say that the master asked you to leave the Wei Palace?" ”

"Master has his own reasons for acting, so let's just do it. You can't inquire, Master is unfathomable, how can you and I speculate? Wu Kui instructed.

Although she was several years older than Wu Kui, Ye Zi always felt like she had fallen out in front of her. In terms of age, Wu Kui should call her sister; But if you talk about the order of entering the school, she should be called Senior Sister Wu Kui. At this time, she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. I only thought in my heart: What is the purpose of Master's arrangement? Will he and Wu Kui also be the stepping stones for the master?

Kui Duoyou and his entourage successfully passed through the Yinshan Pass and traveled westward. In order to avoid trouble, they disguised themselves as caravans to collect and sell cattle and sheepskins, and walked slowly.

The grasslands are vast, and once the snow and ice melt, there are flat rivers and occasional deserts or two, but as long as you store water and food, and have a guide to guide you, the passage is considered smooth. In this way, compared with the regular route from the Central Plains Hangu Pass, it saves a lot of time on the road. However, more than a month, I came to the foot of Qilian Mountain, from here all the way to the south can go straight into the Jingshui Basin, and then turn into Fenghao and Liangjing.

After days of hurrying, the entourage was exhausted, and Uncle Mi decided to camp on the flat at the foot of the mountain and rest for a few days. Kui Duoyou has long heard of the name of Qilian Mountain, and now that he has reached the foot of the mountain, how can he not climb the heights? He spoke to Uncle Mi, and then he believed that the horse galloped by the reins. Fun Cabinet

Kui Duoyou's new mount is born from the intersection of Kui Rong horse and Wei horse, a rare divine horse, running for more than an hour, still galloping, not tired at all. The scorching sun is in the sky, the horse is like the wind, unconsciously, Kui Duoyou is sweating, the breeze is blowing, the whole body is cold, it seems to be in the spring water, Shi Shiran, the distractions in the chest are gone, a quiet and peaceful, fame and wealth, life and death, honor and disgrace, no temptation.

After walking for a while, I faintly heard the sound of running water. Kui Duoyou galloped on horseback, turned over a high slope, and suddenly a large grassland appeared in front of him, and a large river flowed slowly from the middle of the grassland, full of sparkling waves, golden spots flashed, and the waves rolled and surging northward. There is no end to the vastness. Kui Duoyou saw it and was refreshed.

The white horse under his crotch seemed to be intoxicated by this beautiful scenery, and no longer ran fast, but slowed down his pace, sometimes bowing his head to gnaw on the grass on the ground. Kui Duoyou patted the horse's neck and said with a smile: "You are so greedy, okay, I will let you go to have a good time today!" He dismounted, and walked out of the steppe on his own.

The grass has no knees, undulating with the wind, Kui Duoyou walks in the long grass, as if stepping on the waves on the blue waves, the whole body is light and fluttering, and he is drunk. There are many unknown wildflowers growing on the grassland, and the fragrance of them penetrates the heart. In the distance, several mountain peaks stand majestically, connecting with the sky, and the fog on the top of the mountain is vast, I don't know whether it is snow or white clouds.

Kui Duoyou looked at the peak, and a desolate and heroic meaning suddenly rose in his heart, and secretly thought: "This is Qilian Mountain." Rong people call the sky for Qilian, thousands of peaks are stacked, and the saga is steep, and it is really worthy of its name. Humanity is a thousand mountains and snow, desert wind, if you don't come to plug it, where can you see such a magnificent and majestic scene? A manly husband can be born in Si, grow up in Si, and die in Si, it is enough! Why bother with gold seal purple ribbons, high halls and horses, and mellow wine beauties? ”

Just as his heart was shaking, a burst of singing suddenly came from in the distance. The song was intermittent and inaudible, but the melody was faintly audible. Kui Duoyou only felt that the tune was very familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had heard it in a hurry. The singing gradually approached, at first I felt indignant and heroic, excited and high-spirited, and the more I came later, the more sad and sad I became, and I wanted to tear people's liver and intestines. It's like two teams of men and horses fighting in close combat, feathers and arrows whistling, swords and guns colliding, you come and go.

In an instant, the battle was over, the bow was broken, the sword was broken, and the men and horses were lying on their backs. In the twilight, a warrior looked at the sky on his knees, the blade passed through his chest, he had been dead for a long time, but he had never fallen, his eyes were slightly closed, a smile appeared on his lips, his expression was joyful and serene, as if he had fallen asleep, and was having a sweet dream. In the dream, he returned to his hometown and met the girl he loved------

Kui Duoyou listened to the song quietly, deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself. I feel that the song is like a piece of clear snow falling on my heart, the snow falls and melts, the chill enters my heart, and I can't help but cry because of the indescribable sourness and sadness. The song is pathetic and generous, touching and heartfelt, but the melody is not very complicated. Kui Duoyou listened to it a few times, and was slightly surprised: "What are they singing?" I can't understand a word. ”

He didn't understand, it means that the singing is not in the Central Plains language, nor is it in the language of the Kui Rong Department, think about it carefully: This place is not far from the Lynx, could it be the Lynx? The Lynx and the Zhou Dynasty have been enemies for generations, if they are discovered, will they not die without a place to bury?

As soon as he thought of this, he was already shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly pursed his lips and howled, summoning the mount to return. He turned over and got on his horse, held the bow in his hand, wound his arrows, and gazed into the distance. I saw that on the hill not far away, there were more than twenty or thirty black dots slowly moving towards this side. The black dots are gradually clear from far to near: all of them are stout, with round heads and broad faces, bearded vertebrae knots, fierce expressions, long and large bows, diagonally on the shoulders, quivers hanging horizontally from the waist, piercing holes in the earlobes, and wearing a gold ring. These people have stopped singing, and they all face Qilian Mountain, with solemn expressions, sad eyes, and words in their mouths, not knowing what they are praying for.

Kui Duoyou's heart was cold: "Looking at their appearance, they look like the most difficult condor shooters among the lynxes." My uncle once said that the condor shooter is the most powerful warrior of the lynx, and his strength can stifle the tiger, and he can hit with one shot, and one person can reach dozens of Zhou troops. If you encounter them in battle, you need to be extra careful, and you must not underestimate the enemy. Alas, if so many Condor Shooters fight me, I'm afraid I'm going to die------"

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn the horse's head back, but it was too late. A cold shout from behind him: "Hey! As soon as Kui Duoyou turned his head, a young man was coldly pointing at him with a scimitar, and asked something. Seeing that Kui Duoyou didn't seem to understand, the young man actually asked in a stiff Central Plains dialect, "Who are you ------?" ”

Kui Duoyou arched his hand on the horse: "I am a passing merchant." ”

The young man pointed to the group of eagle archers: "The king is worshipping the heavens, and he is not allowed to peep." Come, take him to the big tent! ”

Kui Duoyou was angry: "What does it matter to me that the king of the fox sacrifices to the sky? He sacrifices to his heavens, and I go my way, why do you lock me? ”

"What a sacred thing the king sacrifices to the heavens, how can there be idlers nearby? I see that you are a ghostly and reverent, not like a passing merchant at all, but like a spy of the Zhou people. He turned his horse's head, took back more than thirty steps, took off his bow and arrows, and said, "You have shown much disrespect to my father in your words, and since you refuse to tie your hands, then follow the rules of our lynx and fight a duel with archery." We are thirty paces apart, and at such a close distance, for a good archer, the arrows shot are a hundred shots. How about you and I shoot arrows at each other until one of us is killed? ”

Kui Duoyou smiled slightly, met the young man's gaze, and nodded. The young man continued: "Well, there are guts! If you die, I will bury my bow and arrow beside you, and let it be with you day and night, just as I am with you. How is it? ”

Kui Duoyou once heard his uncle say that after shooting the enemy, he buried his bow and arrow, which is the highest etiquette for the Lynx people to treat the enemy, indicating that the hatred has been written off, and the two will definitely become brothers in the next life. He felt that the young man in front of him was arrogant and conceited, similar to his own temperament, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of closeness in his heart, and he groaned for a while, and said:

"My bow and arrows were given by my mother, and the Tianyue Sword on my back was given by my best friend, even if you die, I can't bury them in the ground------ so ------ my dagger is also a treasure, sharpening iron like clay. If you die, I'll let it go with you. ”

With that, he untied the dagger from his waist and stuck it on the ground.

The young man shouted hello and said, "Then we will die with three arrows, and after three arrows, no matter who lives or dies, you and I are brothers!" You shoot first! ”

Kui Duoyou said: "Since you are in the realm of the lynx, you can come first!" ”

The young man did not shirk, took off his bow and arrows, wound them up, and aimed them at Kui Duoyou's throat. Just as he was about to open his bow, as if someone was calling out to him from behind, the young man turned back and asked something in a sly voice. I saw a middle-aged man headed by a middle-aged man beckoning the young man over, Kui Duoyou smiled and said, "He has something to tell you, you go, I'll wait." ”

The middle-aged man was about forty years old, and his ornaments were obviously more luxurious than others, and Kui Duoyou estimated that he should be the king of the lynx. Kui Duoyou heard them talking in a low voice, and the king seemed to want his son to do something, but the young man was extremely reluctant, and loudly defended him, and it took a long time before he returned to the front of the battle.

Kui Duoyou asked, "If you want to fight life and death, I don't know your name!" ”

The young man raised his head and said, "I am Tuge, the prince of the Lynx!" ”

Kui Duoyou arched his hand: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, disrespectful and disrespectful!" I am a defender of many friends! ”

Hearing the surname "Kui", the body of the Lynx King trembled, and then returned to normal, only staring at the big yellow bow on Kui Duoyou's back, thoughtful.
