Although Hong Chen didn't recognize the lasso, he didn't know that he couldn't be lassoed, and with a flash of footsteps on the side of his body, he dodged the rope of the man on horseback. When the man on horseback saw Hong Chen flashing, he hurriedly pulled the reins, and as soon as the horse's head turned, he threw out the horse pole from the other direction, and the leather rope still fell to Hong Chen's head. Hong Chen dodged away again, wanting to say something to the majestic man, but before he could speak, Lei Feifeng beside him had already waved the wooden stick that he had broken down in the mountains and ran towards the majestic man's horse, scolding in his mouth: "The shit thing that doesn't have long eyes has grabbed your grandfather's head!"

Recalling the knife technique taught by Hong Chen when he was in the shed, Lei Feifeng swept the horse's leg with a stick instead of a knife. The man on horseback caught a glimpse of Lei Feifeng's movements, and the whip in his left hand was drawn towards Lei Feifeng. Lei Feifeng raised the stick to block the whip, but the wooden stick was "clicked" and was broken by the horse whip. The man on horseback swung his whip again, threatening to knock Lei Feifeng to the ground.

Seeing this, Hong Chen immediately stepped forward, grabbed the leather rope of the horse pole, and pulled it hard. The man on horseback did not want to be robbed of the pole, so he clenched hard, kicked the stirrup with both feet, and clamped the horse's belly with his legs. Hong Chen ran the internal force, the rivers and rivers in the meridians were surging, and when he landed on his hand, he had a huge force, and he actually dragged the man on horseback and the horse to the ground.

As soon as the man on horseback fell, Lei Feifeng rushed up and wanted to fight again. Hong Chen drank him in one gulp: "Third brother, don't do it! This person is not a horse bandit!" When I had a night conversation with Cha Yugui a few months ago, I heard that although there are many Gobi Deserts in Qiangzhou in the west, there are also fertile grasslands, and some local tribes graze horses and sheep, migrate with the seasons, and sometimes go all the way east to reach a place very close to Tianzhou. The man on horseback had never been dressed before, and he thought he was a herdsman from Qiangzhou.

Although Lei Feifeng stopped, he still scolded: "Male, this person doesn't say a word, he comes up and beats people with a pole, he is fierce enough!"

Hong Chen stepped forward and wanted to pull the majestic man up from the ground. Unexpectedly, the strong man got up from the ground, pulled out a scimitar and slashed at Hong Chen. Hong Chen slapped his right hand and shot down the scimitar, and the strong man reached out to Hong Chen's shoulder again, wanting to use a wrestling method to pull his shoulder and stumble and push Hong Chen to the ground. Hong Chen took a step forward diagonally, and before the majestic man could see his movements clearly, he felt that the knee socket of his left leg had been hit, and then his knee sank, and he half-knelt on the ground.

Hong Chen didn't want to continue the conflict, so he pressed the shoulder of the strong man, making him unable to stand up, and said: "Friend, I was just passing through here, why did you use a pole to cover me?" The strong man said: "No need to pretend! Today, I am unlucky to be planted in the hands of the martial arts master of Yu State." If you want to kill, you can chop it!"

Hong Chen said: "You and I don't know each other, why should I kill you and chop you?" The majestic man scolded: "You guys are very high in martial arts, but your face is really disgusting, obviously you are here to steal horses, and you pretend to be as innocent!" Hong Chen began to understand that he was regarded as a horse thief, so he said: "Friend, I am not stealing horses." Then he lifted the stout man from the ground, beat him with dust on his knees, and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, and you are not hurt much, my friend, so go after your horses, and we will leave it at that." ”

After speaking, Hong Chen stepped aside and led Lei Feifeng to continue walking westward. The majestic man looked at Hong Chen's back in a daze, and then turned over the mount that had been erected and rushed in the direction of his horse.

Soon at night, Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng found a vacant land by the river to make a fire and rest. There was a wolf howl in the distance, and Lei Feifeng asked, "Teacher, have we arrived in Qiangzhou?" Hong Chen said: "Tianjing is originally in the west of Tianzhou, and we started from the northwest of Tianjing all the way to the west, through the mountains and mountains, maybe we have really reached the junction of the two states." The man was a herdsman, and his horses were all tall and beautiful, much more beautiful than most of the horses I had seen in Yu. ”

The wolf howl in the distance suddenly became fierce and chaotic, and Lei Feifeng was a little panicked: "When we sleep, the wolf won't come and eat us." Hong Chen smiled: "Two days ago, you kept saying that you would eat tiger meat and drink bear blood after becoming the king of the mountain, why are you still afraid of wolves?" Lei Feifeng made a blank face: "Haven't I become the king of the mountain yet?" Not to mention that two fists are hard to defeat with four hands, and the tigers are also afraid of wolves!"

"It's okay, wolves are afraid of fire. Hong Chen fiddled with the fire, coughed twice, and then said, "A cough when I sleep can scare them away." ”

Lei Feifeng said: "I heard that the people of Liangguo are barbaric and backward, and they are vulgar, is there a Lang Zhong here who can treat the teacher?"

Hong Chen said: "That should be a false rumor, if Liangguo didn't have Langzhong who treated people, how could there be so many sturdy sons? ”

The two of them roasted the pheasant meat brought out of the mountain forest on the fire and ate it, drank some water from each of them, and got into the quilt made of wild grass to get ready to sleep. At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves started, Hong Chen got up and looked, only to see a person riding a horse in the distance, followed by a herd of horses, it seemed that it was the herdsman he met in the evening.

Lei Feifeng also got up and stood beside Hong Chen, and exclaimed, "Teacher, did that person come back to trouble us?"

Hong Chen also frowned, he had heard for a long time that the herdsmen in Qiangzhou were upright and bold, but today he met an entangled one? When the man got closer, he saw that there was something hanging on the man's pole, dangling in the air, like some kind of animal.

The herd quickly rushed to the front, the herdsman stopped his horse, and Hong Chen finally saw that the pole in his hand was actually two half-sized gray wolves.

The herdsman jumped off the horse, untied the dead wolf from the sleeve, held one in one arm, walked in front of Hong Chen, suddenly knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said: "Friend, I misunderstood you at that time, I will give you two big wolves at this time, let you eat meat and cloth!" After speaking, he put down the dead wolf, untied the scimitar on his waist, and skinned the wolf in front of Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng.

Lei Feifeng was dumbfounded, Hong Chen walked over to help him, and said, "Friend, get up quickly." The herdsman refused, and had to peel off the skins of the two dead wolves, so he withdrew the knife, got up, held the wolf skins in both hands and said: "These two wolves were hanged by me, and when they were skinned, they also took the fascia, and the fur was not damaged at all, so my friend must accept it." The weather is getting colder, and the skin of this big wolf is perfect for making a cold vest. ”

Hong Chen said in his heart, the herdsmen of Qiangzhou were really generous, but a misunderstanding directly gave him two extremely complete wolf skins. I also remembered what the doctor said, the herdsmen give gifts, the more you accept them, the happier they are, if you refuse, they will think that you look down on them, so they laughed twice: "Thank you, friend!" reached out and took the wolf's skin.

The herdsman said: "Friend, you two are thinly clothed, and it is not good to spend the night on the grassland, I will help you dry the wolf skin, although it is not good to dry out, but the fur will not crack, and you can sleep wrapped up tonight." ”

Hong Chen readily agreed. Lei Feifeng originally hated this herdsman very much, but he couldn't be happy with the wolf skin, and in his heart, wearing wolf skin clothes was equivalent to wearing half a tiger skin coat, which was half a mountain king.

When the herdsmen were baking wolf skins, Hong Chen chatted with him, and learned that his name was "Palestine Yitian", a person from the "White Fang Tribe", who took advantage of the autumn to drive his horses to the junction of Tianzhou and Qiangzhou to herd horses. This place is rich in water and grass, but because there are horse thieves and horse thieves, sometimes they not only steal horses, but also kill herdsmen, so in recent years, Qiangzhou herdsmen rarely come to graze. Ba Yitian felt that there were fewer herdsmen herding horses, and the horse thieves should not come, so he came to graze the horses, but he was still afraid that the horse thieves would appear, so when he saw Hong Chen for the first time, he felt that he had encountered a horse thief.

Knowing the truth, Hong Chen covered his mouth and coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Brother Ba, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I see that the horses you raise are better than a divine horse, and I really want to ask for one to be a mount." Hearing this, Ba Yitian patted Hong Chen on the shoulder: "Friend, you are really discerning, I am the best horse breeder in our tribe." You go back with me, and I'll give you the best horse I've ever raised!"
