Winter goes to spring, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, on the night of the full moon, the ice and snow on the grassland are melting, but there is still far from showing signs of consumption.

The carriage that Liu Yi and Cao Du were riding was too slow, and now they were just about to reach the high car Longting, Cao Du said: "It's useless to be in a hurry, it's still too late." ”

Liu Yi was in a heavy mood, and he already had a bad premonition, so he shook his head and said, "I hope it's not too late." ”

Cao Du looked at the snowy scene in the distance and chuckled: "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting. ”

Liu Yi stretched out his thumb and said appreciatively: "This is the word, you haven't finished speaking, I already feel very good." ”

Cao Du laughed, "Nonsense, how can Taizu's words be bad." ”

The current Liu Yi and Cao are still about three hundred miles away from the high-car Wangting Python Dragon City, and there are many fat sheep inside and outside the royal court, so bandits are rampant in this distance.

Among the four northern countries, because the two countries do not border, the tribes that were driven into Mobei by Xianbei, Gaoche and Rouran do not trade with Daqin, and the war last year may have been too intense, or the king of Hejian Situ was seriously ill, so now Gaoche and Hejian County have entered a state of contraction, which is very xenophobic.

The current Gaoche not only does not trade with Daqin, but now the Gaoche is also very xenophobic, not only xenophobic southerners, even the Xianbei and Rouran are also excluded, Caodu's reputation is mainly famous in Daqin, Liu Yi seems to be only a few people know his identity, both of them are not famous in the grassland, and it has taken a lot of twists and turns to enter the Gaoche country.

Cao Du said with a smile: "I heard Liu Mukun say that Situ Qingyun is now in Ruyang City, and he is ready to ask for a will, and it will be smooth sailing for the lord, but the royal family has not given a reply for a long time, and Situ Qingyun can't urge it, so he has to stay in Ruyang City with peace of mind." ”

Liu Yi said: "I have seen the emperor, what does the emperor say, I can't see through it now." ”

Cao Du glanced at Liu Yi and complained: "If you can understand the thoughts of the Heavenly Family, then you still need the Gonggong Zhugong in the temple to guess?"

Cao Du suddenly remembered something and didn't ask Liu Yi yet, and asked: "When you arrive in Python Dragon City, what if Li Baiyao and the three of them are still inside, what if the three of them are not inside, or what if Li Baiyao is alone inside?"

Liu Yi didn't think about it either, shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about it either, but basically there will be no situation where Li Baiyao is here, Li Baiyao is here, and Brother Lang will be there." ”

Cao Du nodded and said softly: "Don't be sure about everything, worry about backfire." ”

Someone came on horseback in front of him, and Liu Yi hugged his fists and asked, "Master, have you ever seen three southerners, they are all the king's distinguished guests." ”

The man clenched his fists and laughed at himself: "Since I am the king's honored guest, and I am not a royal family or nobleman, how can I have seen it." ”

The man glanced inside the car and chuckled, "Since I don't know, it's time to go." ”

The man said that he would beat his horse and turn back.

Cao Du said: "Big brother, you are going in the opposite direction. ”

The man said: "Do you think I went the other way." ”

Cao Du laughed.

After a long while, Cao Du suddenly came to his senses and asked in disbelief, "They can't be horse thieves, right?"

Liu Yi nodded, "I'll know when he hits the horse and turns back." ”

Cao Du was frightened and said, "Let's not run?"

Liu Yi smiled bitterly: "Run, where to run, it's still far away from Python Dragon City to the north, even if you escape there, it's impossible to say whether it's Gentle Township or Longtan Tiger's Den now, you definitely can't go, and if you go south, it's even farther." ”

Cao Du said: "Do you have a way to deal with it?"

Liu Yi shook his head and said, "No." ”

Cao Du continued to ask: "Then why are you so calm. ”

Liu Yi laughed and said, "Because you have money." ”

Cao Du subconsciously shouted: "." ”

Raising troops for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, well-trained cavalry charges and chiseles the formation calmly, and even the ups and downs of the horses are basically constant. The horse thief is different, the training level of the horse thieves is uneven, and the charge of the horse thief is a plate of loose sand, such a person may not have any role on the battlefield, at this moment, Liu Yi and Cao Du are completely unable to parry.

The horse thieves came, shouting all the way, flicking the scimitars that northerners like to use on horseback.

Cao Du's face suddenly turned earthy, and he subconsciously hid in Liu Yi's outstretched hand, and Liu patted Cao Du's shoulder backwards to soothe the adult's young heart.

The horse thief came and quickly surrounded Liu Yi's carriage, and one of the leaders slapped the back of the knife rhythmically against the palm holding the reins, shouting: "Fuck who, get out of the car quickly." ”

Liu Yi pulled Cao Du out of the car, Liu Yi stepped on the snow, the artist was bold, he didn't want to be hard, and he didn't have the intention of killing more, so he was calm.

Cao Du was a little different, sitting in the snow with his ass.

Liu Yi hugged his fists and asked, "Who is the head, come out to speak." ”

The man who spoke just now had an angry face, and slapped his horse and stepped forward to slash this blind young man to death, the man thought that the young man's thin body would definitely not be able to withstand his powerful stab.

The man said to do it, and stabbed forward.

Liu Yi stretched out his hand to hold the back of the knife, squatted and pulled down, and the man fell hard into the snow in front of Liu Yi.

There was a commotion among the horse thieves, and Liu Yi raised his hand to soothe: "Don't worry, you may not understand if you say that the jade is burned or both are lost, do you really want to fight, half of them are dead, and the two of us are dead, is it worth it?"

One of the horse thieves clapped his hands, turned over and dismounted, and was a person who was short in stature and didn't seem to be good at fighting, and only such a person liked to use his brain, so he became a handler.

The short man walked up to Liu Yi and helped up the man with all his strength, he patted the snowflakes off the man's body, patted the man's shoulder and said, "Go back to the formation, pay attention next time, don't be so impulsive." ”

The short man bowed to the end, got up and arranged his hair behind him, and said with a smile: "I am their leader, polite, I am the boss, I only rob money, and do not hurt people's lives." ”

Liu Yi said lightly: "This rule seems very good, but for some people, money is their life, have you ever thought about it, we have a saying in the south called 'I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me', so you think you are kind? Compared with other horse thieves, you are just a short one and a tall one." ”

The short man asked, "It seems difficult to get Childe to pay?"

Liu Yi returned to the carriage, he threw down a few bags of gold and silver, Liu Yi smiled: "Actually, it's not difficult at all." ”

The short man picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, bit his teeth hard, it was soft, and said with a smile: "I feel quite a sense of accomplishment to let Gongzi give money so willingly." ”

Liu Yi asked, "So we can go?"

The short man turned sideways to give way.

Liu Yi chuckled and asked, "I want to ask you something, okay?"

Love the child is full of nonchalance and says: "Naturally.

Liu Yi asked, "Have you ever heard of Li Baiyao, or Du Heli?"

The short man shook his head, Liu Yi was not surprised, the only thing he could do now was to ask around about finding a needle in a haystack.

The short man thought about it and didn't know that it was because he was very busy, but these brothers behind him were not busy, they often went to Python Dragon City to hang out when they had money, so they might know.

The man shouted behind him: "Have any brothers heard of two names, one is called Li Baiyao and the other is Du Heli." ”

Several people behind him were chattering, and one of them whispered to the left and right, a little uncertain: "I was drunk in Python Dragon City a few days ago, and when I passed by the square, I seemed to have heard of a man named Li Baiyao, but I wasn't sure if what I heard was Li Baiyao." ”

Liu Yi asked eagerly, "What do you say?"

The man said, "I'm not sure, I'm drunk, I can't hear or see anything." ”

The short man smiled: "Don't worry, go to the village for a few days first, and I'll ask my brother to go to Python Dragon City to help you check." ”

Liu Yi smiled: "You are not a bad boss." ”

Liu Yi remembered the cottage where he grew up, where no one taught him that he couldn't kill, and no one taught him that he could kill, so his character seems to be very sound, but in fact there are many shortcomings.

Liu Yi shook his head, didn't listen to the meaning of the little man, and said with a smile: "I'd better inquire in person." ”

The short man said: "It's okay, otherwise we just robbed the money just now, and we will have to drink and eat meat like brothers later, which is not happy." ”

Liu Yi laughed, picked up Cao Du and said, "Let's go." ”

The short man clenched his fists and sent him off.

may have been deliberately arranged by the short man, and Liu Yi and Cao Du's journey later was unimpeded.

Cao Du said: "You still have experience!"

Liu Yi said: "Bandits in the world are the same, bullying the soft and fearing the hard, they used to be bandits, so they have some experience in how to persuade bandits." ”

Cao Du laughed, "How am I doing?"

Liu Yi said: "Normal reaction." ”

Between the two of them talking, they can already see the high-speed car Wang Ting Python Dragon City from a distance, the terrain where the python dragon city is located is just like a python, the whole terrain is like a gourd mouth, the python spits out the letter in the mouth of the gourd, the mountain behind the python dragon city is like raising the front half of the body, and the python dragon city is like a flat neck.

Cao Du said: "Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, the largest city in the north, it does have the potential to swallow the sky." ”

Liu Yi said: "The long protruding city gate is like a letter, and the Gaoche King who built the city probably wants to unify the grassland, right?"

Cao Du said: "The heart is higher than the sky, the time is fleeting, and the sky is not a holiday." ”

Seeing this big city, Cao Du remembered the king of the tall car who built the city, and said with a smile: "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”

Liu Yi praised: "The words are very good!"

Cao Du laughed, "I don't see who reads it!"

Liu Yi said: "That's all you have to offer." ”

Cao Du asked, "Do you want to fight for the world, I'll help you?"

Liu Yi immediately shook his head, "After coming down the mountain, I have been on many mountains and seen many people, I want to prove it with my strength." What is the fight for, the current Daqin iron bucket is general. ”

Cao Du said: "Indeed, now, the rivers and mountains on the grassland are easier than those in Daqin.

Cao Du asked, "I don't want to do it unintentionally?"

Liu Yi shook his head and said, "I don't want to, why don't you fight by yourself?"

Cao Du said lightly: "Some people are suitable for being bosses, some people are only suitable for part-time work, people are expensive, I happen to know that I am only suitable for part-time work, not suitable for being a boss." ”

Liu Yi asked, "Who did you learn so many great truths from?"

Cao Du said: "Enlightenment!"

The two entered the city.
