Just when Lu Bu and Xiao Niangniang were anxiously waiting for Xing Li and the others to finish planning the military supplies and send the news of departure, Concubine Liu had already led people on the way to the Khitan Kingdom.

Because she did not tell the emperor the truth, Concubine Liu was afraid that she would arouse the emperor's suspicion, so in addition to bringing a personal palace maid and two coachmen, she only brought Lu Xu, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and a personal warrior.

All four of them were dressed up as ordinary people.

By this time, they had already walked through the small town on the border.

"Concubine Niangniang, further forward is the land of Daliao, the villain heard that the people here are very rude, for fear of causing trouble, can you ask the lady Chitose to dress up as a man, the villain follows the side, it is also more convenient."

Lu Xu must be the deputy commander of the forbidden army, although he is a little weak by nature, but he is only cautious in handling things, not timid, and he still has scheming.

Concubine Liu thought for a moment.

"It's okay, I'll be the commander of Yilu."

After a short period of dressing up, Concubine Liu and the palace maid have become handsome men.

It's just that Concubine Liu's long hair is a little troublesome, and although she has tried her best to tighten it, she still holds up the hat on her head high, which invisibly increases by more than ten centimeters.

Entering the hinterland of the grassland, a sense of desolation instantly greeted you.

"I have heard for a long time that the number of Khitan countries is very small, and the mourning family still has some unbelief, but when I see it today, it is really so." Concubine Liu sat in the car and said as she looked at the boundless grassland.

"Niang Niang Chitose doesn't know, although there are not many people in this Khitan country, they are all fierce, and there are not a few people who hunt beasts with their bare hands. I'll have to be careful when I go this time. Lu Xu rode on his horse and said. 33

Concubine Liu nodded.

It was not until near evening that several people finally saw several shepherds' tents scattered on the high slopes not far ahead.

Seeing the tent, Concubine Liu suddenly remembered that she had come in a hurry and did not prepare such equipment.

The mosquitoes and flies on the grassland were surprisingly large, and as night fell, these little things were like bloodthirsty little monsters, and began to attack Concubine Liu and the others, as well as the horses.

The little palace maid had never seen these things, and every time she was bitten, she would let out an exclamation, and a blood-red sarcoma would instantly bulge on her skin.

Several of the same lumps also appeared on Concubine Liu's arms.

The horses that grew up in Middle-earth were also bitten and neighed.

"How could the concubine endure such suffering?" The samurai was a little unbearable.

"It's just that the villain didn't think about it when he came, and he didn't think of this layer." Lu Xu blamed himself.

"Why don't Commander Lu go to the shepherd's house and have a look, if possible, we can find something useful, and we will set up our own tent." The palace maid proposed.

"I'm afraid that we are southerners, and the shepherds here will not help." Lu Xu hesitated.

The samurai didn't care about that.

"Commander Lu just stays by the side of the concubine and waits for the villain to take a look." As he spoke, the warrior had already hurried his horse towards one of the tents.

In this tent, only a middle-aged shepherd lives.

At this time, he had just herded the sheep into the sheepfold behind the tent, and was sitting alone in front of the tent drinking wine, with an uncooked leg of lamb hanging from the fire in front of him.

After listening to the samurai's story, the middle-aged man just glanced at him with slanted eyes, did not answer, and drank to himself.

The samurai thought he hadn't heard, took a few steps forward, and said aloud what he meant.

The shepherd may have drunk too much, or perhaps he was very disdainful of this southerner, and still remained silent.

The warrior was in a hurry, drew his steel sword, and suddenly raised his hand and cut off the belt of the animal's skin that hung from the leg of mutton, and the leg of the lamb fell into the fire, and a few sparks fell on the shepherd's face.

The shepherd was in pain and jumped up from the ground.

"Where did the barbarians come from, who dared to come here to spread wild?"

The samurai pointed a knife at his nose.

"You guy, the uncle is so good to discuss with you, but you don't know how to raise it like this. Tonight, I'll rest with you. The samurai said.

Of course, the shepherd would not abandon his tent so easily, and drew the short knife from his waist to cut the flesh.

Although he was very brave, he must not have been trained, and where was the opponent of the samurai, after a few rounds, he had been kicked to the ground by the samurai, and raised his sword to slash.

"Don't hurt anyone!" Lu Xu saw the samurai and the shepherd from a distance, and for fear of causing trouble, Pegasus rushed to shout.

The samurai put away his steel sword.

The shepherds rose from the ground.

Lu Xu dismounted, thinking of going to say a few kind words to the shepherd, but found that he turned around and left without saying a word.

"This guy is also refreshing." The samurai said, "I guess it's not a villain's opponent, so I'll give this tent to me and others to live in." ”

"How can there be such a good thing?" Lu Xu shook his head, "I'm afraid I'm looking for help." ”

"Whatever, it's better to invite the concubine to come here for a while, and when it gets dark, give him more silver taels." Samurai said.

Lu Xu thought about it, and he could only do so for the time being.

With the tent, Concubine Liu and the little palace maid were able to settle down a bit.

The tent was littered with sheepskins, and the smell of the smell was disgusting, but it was much better than being bitten by mosquitoes outside.

Lu Xu was not at ease, and kept guarding outside the tent with the samurai.

till it was already dawn, and the shepherd did not return. Lu Xu was relieved.

Who knows, the two of them had just fallen asleep, but the shepherd came back with a dozen nearby Khitans.

They were all shepherds here and drank all night in a tent.

When Lu Xu and the warrior heard the sound and opened their eyes, they found that they had been covered by a large net.

Such a large net was used by the shepherds to deal with the beasts that came to steal and eat the sheep, and it was extremely tough, although it was different from the net that captured Lu Bu last time, and it was not smeared with that kind of extremely viscous medicinal powder, but it was enough to deal with Lu Xu and the warriors.

The middle-aged shepherd walked up to the two of them with a smell of wine.

"The barbarians deceive people too much." As he spoke, he swung his sword and was about to stab at the samurai, but was stopped by a shepherd who was still quite conscious.

"Let them go, and leave only the chariots, horses, and clothes."

Because the textile technology of the Khitan Kingdom was far less advanced than that of the Great Song Dynasty, and the shepherds here were different from the people who lived in the cities, they wore sheepskins almost all the year round, even if they sometimes exchanged cattle and sheep with the merchants from the Great Song Dynasty for some silver taels and cloth, they were still extremely poor, so it has become a habit to plunder the clothes of the southerners.

"No good man." Lu Xu was afraid that these people would find out that Concubine Liu and the others were disguised as men, so he hurriedly stopped and said, "We are only here to do business in Daliao, if a good man is willing to let us go, I am willing to give us a hundred taels of silver as a reward." ”

Several of the shepherds were shocked.

One hundred taels of silver, for a Khitan who lives on the grassland all year round, that is an astronomical existence.

"Why do you need to wait for reward, as long as it is you and other things around you, all will be kept." The middle-aged shepherd said.

So the two shepherds broke into the tent.

Although Concubine Liu and the little palace maid tried their best to resist, where are they the opponents of these strong men.

What happened next stunned all the shepherds.

Unexpectedly, the person in the tent was actually a beautiful woman.

The shepherds, red-eyed, scrambled to each other to crowd into the tents.

Some people died, but not completely......
