"The general understands the righteousness and is grateful!"

Under the leadership of the Mongolian general, Liu Xunyi and his entourage successfully entered the heavily guarded and heavily walled Mohe Hippodrome Farm.

The huge horse farm is composed of several parts: the Chinese army, the inner column, the outer column, the pasture and the barracks, and is surrounded by "concentric circles" from the Chinese army to the barracks.

Among them, the Mongol general and 1,000 soldiers were stationed in the center of the Chinese army, that is, the entire Mohe Hippodrome. Thousands of carefully selected and carefully bred war horses are kept in the inner pen, and the old and weak thin horses that cannot fight are kept in the outer pen. Further out is a thousand acres of fertile pasture, 4,000 sergeants with 500 people as a battalion, stationed in the east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest eight directions, each battalion to maintain thousands of horses. They served as soldiers in wartime, herding horses on weekdays, patrolling and arming each other, raising and breeding, and finally deployed by the Chinese army.

The one who had just had a conflict with Liu Xunyi and his party was one of the eight battalions.

When Liu Xunyi and the others walked through the grassland and the outer fence to the inner fence of the horse farm, they found that the security here was far stricter than that outside. Although it is a horse farm, it is not inferior to the soldiers and horses battalion with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry.

As the saying goes, "hearing is false, seeing is believing".

Today, Liu Xunyi saw the orderly Mohe Hippodrome Farm with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh again and again in his heart: "A horse farm for raising livestock still has strict military discipline, not to mention the barracks that charge into battle? Especially this upright general, compared to Ma Zheng of the Great Song Dynasty, he doesn't know how clever he is. ”

It's not that Liu Xunyi is ambitious and destroys his prestige. It's just that he has seen with his own eyes the lazy appearance of those officials of the Great Song Qun Pastoral Division who are full of fat brains and big bellies. They are also military attachés, and they are worlds apart from the majestic and burly Mongolian general in front of them.

To put it mildly, if the two countries are at war, even if the elites of the two sides are evenly matched, once the logistical reinforcements meet in front of the battle, they will also die and die.

Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi walked two steps quickly, caught up with the Mongolian general who led the way, and arched his hand: "Don't thank you for your kindness, dare to ask the general's name?"

"This general Su Rige is from the same clan as Su He. The Mongol general was not ambiguous, and replied in a loud voice, "Count, he should call me 'Brother'." ”

It turned out to be the eldest brother's brother, no wonder he was able to avoid rumors and help generously when the eldest brother was in danger. Liu Xunyi suddenly realized, and looked at Su Rige's eyes with more and more admiration, "The general is not only the eldest brother's 'elder brother', but also the younger brother's 'elder brother'......"

"No need to be polite, although Su He and I are of the same race, we are not comrades. He would like to worship Anda with the Han people and call you brothers, but I won't. Su Rige did not shy away from interrupting Liu Xunyi's compliment, "Although Meng Song is friendly, he is in harmony for the time being." But you and I both know in our hearts that sooner or later there will be a bloody battle between the two countries. At that time, we will still be mortal enemies when we meet on the battlefield. ”

Su Rige spoke quickly, which made Liu Xunyi stunned, and said with a wry smile: "What General Su said is extremely true! The two countries have not yet been at war, and I have already put the sword of my eldest brother in prison, if the war starts...... I wonder how much trouble will be added between me and my eldest brother?"

"You don't have to be presumptuous, although Su He and I are both Mongolians, our identities are different, and our positions are not the same. Strictly speaking, he was just a charlatan who supported the Great Khan, and I was a pawn who swore allegiance to the death. Therefore, he can intersect with the Han people without restraint, but he has the king's life in his body, and there can be no trace of difference in his heart and deeds. ”

"The general's words and orders are suddenly opened in the next mouth, and I have been taught!"

"You Han people just have too many courtesies and are too hypocritical. ”

Seeing that Liu Xunyi once again bowed his hand to himself, Su Rige couldn't help frowning, and did not return the salute, but walked quickly into the distance.

"Actually, the rules of the Mongols are no less than those of the Han people, but their customs are far less than one-ten-thousandth of yours. Maybe...... This is the reason why the Great Song Dynasty is in a corner of peace and has not been able to set the Central Plains in the north. ”

I don't know when? The graceful Xun Qin floated in front of Liu Xunyi, who was full of embarrassment, and his footsteps did not stop, but he left an intriguing irony.

"What do you mean......

"Although I am Han, I think ...... Xun Qin's words are reasonable. ”

Before Liu Xunyi could ask, Tang Afu's voice followed, interrupting him and causing him to fall into deep thought.

After a while, Liu Xunyi, who suddenly woke up, suddenly felt extremely painful and indescribably depressed. I wanted to argue, but I found that they had already gone away.

"Su He is inside!"

After a while, Su Rige led Liu Xunyi and his party to a large courtyard surrounded by broken walls and wooden fences, through the cracks in the fence, they could clearly see that the courtyard was a patchwork of stables.

In front of one of the stables, a man with unkempt hair and stubble, dressed in a ragged and worn leather jacket, poured hay into the manger in the wind and snow.

Rough and dirty face, smudged clothes, slightly rickety body, slow and trembling movements...... It's always cool, sad and panicked. No one could have imagined that the sloppy "Nusanha" in front of him was actually Su He, the "No. 1 Fast Knife in Mobei" who was dominant in the past.

After a few months, Su He actually practiced himself to such a point?

If it weren't for Su Rige naming and telling Liu Xunyi that the person was Su He, I am afraid that he would not dare to recognize him if he was killed.

"Big Brother ......" is free Chinese

At the first glance of Su He, Liu Xunyi, who was full of anticipation, suddenly felt like falling into the abyss, and his blood was cold. At the same time, his eyes were red and tears flowed down his face.

He never expected that Su He's down-and-out situation was far more cruel than he imagined.

Since he came to Mohe Racecourse, he has not taken a bath or changed his clothes. Su Rige sighed, "I only eat leftovers every day, and I can barely eat my stomach." Don't talk about wine and meat, even a decent bowl of rice porridge...... He didn't drink it. ”

"Why is this happening?" Liu Xunyi's fist clenched in his sleeve "clicked", and his good impression of Su Rige suddenly disappeared, and he asked through gritted teeth, "Isn't the general the eldest brother's kinship? Why do you treat your ......brother like this?"

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's that he's ...... Deliberately punish yourself in this way. "On his first day at the racecourse, he told me that he had made an unforgivable mistake. He is ashamed of heaven and earth, of the grassland, of his ancestors, of the Great Khan and the prince, and of the clansmen who have been proud of him for many years. He should have died to apologize, but death was not a hero's act, but a coward's act. Therefore, he decided to torture himself in this way, to make up for his debt to the grassland, and to calm the guilt in his heart. ”

Su He thinks he is ashamed of everyone, maybe he is the only one who is worthy of the right...... It's you. Xun Qin stared thoughtfully at the depressed Liu Xunyi, and said faintly, "As I expected, Su He refused to apologize for his crime with death, not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but because he was ...... I don't want you, a sworn brother, to have regrets for the rest of my life. ”

Xun Qin's words are like knives, cutting out the heart, which makes Liu Xunyi sad into the liver and spleen, and the grief is stubborn. For a while, he was at a loss and speechless.

"Brother Liu, Brother Su, because you have become like this, you must not die without help. Pan Yuyin had already been deeply moved by Su He's affection and righteousness, and at the same time was extremely sympathetic to his tragic situation.

"Liu Xunyi, if you can tolerate Su He spending the rest of your life here, you will be the first ungrateful person in the world. Although Tang Afu's tone was plain, the meaning made Liu Xunyi uneasy.

"Liu Xunyi, you...... Let's go in!" Su Rige slowly pushed the fence door open.

Following the direction of Su Rige's finger, the restless Liu Xunyi subconsciously moved his steps and walked slowly towards Su He like a walking corpse.

Seeing this, Abaolu and Xiao Yang wanted to follow closely, but they were stopped by Xun Qin waving his hand: "Don't follow, let him go in by himself." ”

At this moment, Liu Xunyi's legs were as heavy as lead, and he approached Su He step by step, almost exhausting his entire vitality, so that in the cold winter wax moon, he sweated like rain and panted like a cow.

"Click!"

When Liu Xunyi's right foot accidentally stepped on a dead branch covered with snow, it seemed to arouse Su He's awareness.

Its cloudy eyes rolled slightly, and the pouring of hay slowly stopped. With a puzzled expression, he straightened up, raised his head slightly, and followed the sound.

"Big Brother ......"

Looking at the unkempt and ragged Su He, Liu Xunyi tried not to let himself show shock and sadness. The corners of his mouth forced a smile that was even uglier than crying, and he stood tremblingly beside the stable, looking at the shocked Su He with teary eyes, and forced a smile in an almost sobbing tone: "Long time no see, don't come...... Unharmed. ”

"Searching for ...... Looking for clothes?"

After a short period of shock, Su He's sanity quickly recovered, he first looked down at his embarrassed self, then raised his eyes to look at the shabby and simple stable, and subconsciously reached out to arrange his beard, only to find that they had long been covered by residual snow and turned into locks of ice ballast.

After the embarrassment, a fleeting melancholy flashed in Su He's eyes, so he grinned at Liu Xunyi and said jokingly: "Seeing that you are safe and sound, the eldest brother is relieved." It's just that...... Big brother is so embarrassed, but it makes you laugh. ”

"Big brother, what's the matter?" Liu Xunyi's eyes trembled, and his voice was hoarse.

"It's okay! It's okay! The eldest brother is inevitably a little tired from wandering around, so he came here to be at ease. Su He smiled nonchalantly, "You don't have to worry, the general of Mohe Hippodrome and I are brothers in our own family." I'm here to eat and drink......"

"General Su has already told me the situation of my eldest brother, if you treat me as a brother, don't pretend to be indifferent in front of me. ”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xunyi, who was full of grief and anger, rushed to Su He with an arrow, snatched the bucket in his hand without saying a word, and poured the hay into the manger for him.

"The younger brother is here, how can it be the eldest brother's turn to do all this dirty work and tiring work?"

Liu Xunyi said as he took off his big hat and draped it on Su He. Lightly armed, he quickly picked up a few buckets of forage on the ground, completely ignoring Su He's dissuasion, and insisted on filling all the stone troughs in the front and back stables.

"Xunyi, what are you doing?" Su He grabbed Liu Xunyi, who was busy before and after, and his tone was quite displeased, "This is not the place for you to work." ”

"The eldest brother suffers hardships, how can the younger brother stay out of the matter?" Liu Xunyi tightly dragged the bucket and refused to let go, and he was in a stalemate with Su He, "This is not where I work, and it is also not a place where the eldest brother works." How can you bend down to feed the horses? I want to take you away......"

"Looking for clothes, the eldest brother has made up his mind, and he will never leave!"

"In that case...... I'll stay with my eldest brother to feed the horses!" Seeing Su He's resolute attitude, Liu Xunyi neither defended nor contradicted, but looked dignified, and said seriously, "Even if it's ten or eight years, even if it's thirty or fifty years, even if it's a lifetime...... The younger brother vows to share weal and woe with the eldest brother, and never leave!"
