Volume 16 Chapter 6 Lovesickness Turns to Ashes (4)

The day Lou Qi set off to return to the Qingtian Palace of Daxianbei Mountain. did not alarm Hudiri, only the newly baked sons-in-law of the Great Khan of Battle and the Prince of Olgrad, with their entourage and personal guards, took painstaking efforts to send the royal court thirty miles. In order to heal Qingping's poisonous wounds, He Louqi didn't want to delay time, so he only brought Helian Xing, Yang Ning, Qingping and Lan Jun with him, and the rest of the attendants and slaves were all left to Olgrad to take care of. Although Olgrad is reluctant, but also a little happy, in the past he deliberately attracted the Qingtian Palace, but the result is always unsatisfactory, I can't imagine that today's master actually handed over such a group of palace elites to himself, he was originally the prince's honor, and is the disciple of the master, only a year and a half down, even if these people will not become their own henchmen, they will be more inclined to themselves, a thought of this, even the beautiful woman who admires in his heart is about to leave, and he does not feel sad and regretful.

He Louqi had a deep understanding of this ambitious disciple's thoughts, but he originally intended to support Olgrad, so he naturally didn't take it to heart, and after saying goodbye, the group traveled lightly, galloped on horseback, crossed the Dujin Mountain, and crossed the Duluo River. But by dusk on the second day, we had already traveled nearly 500 miles. That's a quick ride. Day and night, even warriors born and raised in the grassland will inevitably be exhausted, but among the five, He Louqi, Yang Ning and He Lianxing needless to mention, even the weakest He Lianxing has already entered the innate realm, and they all have cold and heat. The ability of a hundred poisons is inviolable, and the internal force is complex and pure. It's only five hundred miles, even if it's on foot, two days is enough, not to mention that there are horses to walk, as for the other two, although Qing'an and Lan Jun are both women, one has grown up in the desert grassland, is skilled in riding and shooting, and has also achieved achievements in internal strength. Another poisonous wound was temporarily suppressed, although the martial arts were not fully recovered, ten percent of the internal force could also be exerted three or four percent, but it was just a hurry, and there were He Louqi, Yang Ning and other three people to take care of it, although the wind and dust were on their faces, but they were also full of energy. Although the knights on the horses were still able to support themselves, the horses were already extremely tired, and although He Louqi had six or seven more horses for the transfer, in two days and one night, after only four hours of rest, these horses were already covered with sweat.

"Senior He Lou, let's find a place to rest for the night, my poisonous injury is not in the way, and there is no need to rush away like this!" Qingping said as she gently rubbed her sweaty horse's neck, and her soft and slightly stiff mane was slightly prickly. However, feeling the vigorous vitality under her fingers, Qingping gave birth to a sense of love for no reason. The horse under her is covered in fur and frost and snow, and its foot strength is particularly extraordinary, compared to the past when she and Yang Ning were in Wujiang County, the white horse from the hands of the young man is only slightly inferior, but the white horse and Yang Ning's black cone horse are left in Jinling, every time I think of it, Qing Jiang feels empty in my heart, and the white horse in front of me makes up for a little regret, so I see that the horse is a little weak. Qingping couldn't help but speak.

He Louqi frowned slightly when he heard this, although Qingping's poisonous wounds had been forcibly suppressed, there were often turbulent whirlpools hidden under the surface of the water that was as flat as a mirror. Qingping's situation is actually more dangerous, after all, the poison is forcibly suppressed by external forces, and the most terrifying thing about Acacia is that it is ever-changing, especially the way to advance and retreat.

If it is himself, he will naturally be able to see the subtlety, and change his course according to the changes of the poisonous Xing, Qingping's internal force has not yet reached the realm of "knowing the micro", and most of them cannot do it, the most appropriate way is of course to return to the Qingtian Palace of Daxianbei Mountain quickly, and borrow the power of the earth fire and wind to suppress the acacia and eliminate the poison, so He Lou Qicai hurried away regardless of Qing Jiang's poisonous injury. However, under Qingping's soft pleading, even as a grandmaster, Hu Rong Guoshi, He Louqi, who has already become hard-hearted in the long years, can't bear to refuse, not to mention that Yang Ning is almost obedient to his beloved, He Louqi has not yet answered, he has already looked around, wanting to find a shelter where he can set up a camp tent before nightfall, but since the Duluo water, the scenery has gradually become desolate, every time he sees the sand and gravel beach with no vegetation, the wind and sand are blowing, it is almost difficult to open his eyes, let alone want to find a camp with water and grass。

Yang Ning and Qingping are naturally very unfamiliar with the geography outside the Saiwai, but He Louqi and He Lianxing are very familiar with it. Helian Xing hesitated for a moment, and then raised his voice: "Master, twenty miles to the southeast is Guyanyi, let's go there to stay overnight, the wind and sand are raging here, even if you set up a camp, it is difficult to resist the cold wind, although Guyanyi has long been dilapidated, but it can still shelter from the wind and rain." ”

He Louqi smiled slightly, and was about to say yes, but Qingping was already surprised and inexplicably said, "Gu Yanyi." Could it be that Guyan Mountain is near the left?

Helian Xing was slightly stunned, his expression was slightly dissatisfied, but he saw that Shizun's expression was the same, and there was no displeasure, so he also said calmly: "Yes, this Guyan Station is at the foot of Guyan Mountain, after Guyan Mountain, it is Wolf Juxu Mountain, but Wolf Mountain is wet, except for the grass and trees, wind and sand, but there is nothing to see, when passing by tomorrow, if Mrs. is interested, you can climb the mountain and travel, and it won't take much time to come." ”

Qingping said wistfully: "Yuan Feng Xi Nian." Go to the sick generation, more than 2,000 miles of the right Beiping, the mountain of the difficult marquis, the water of the bow Lu, and the wolf dwelling in the Xu Mountain. Zen in Guyan, landing on the Hanhai and returning. Note: I didn't expect that I would be able to see the old land of the champion Hou Dapo Xiongnu. It's a pity that my poisonous wounds haven't healed, otherwise I must follow this route for a while, if I can also land in Hanhai like Huo Yao, it would be even better, but I don't know if there is such an opportunity in this life!" Speaking of this, his expression was already a little gloomy, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of He Lianxing's helpless gaze, Qingping couldn't help but wake up suddenly, thinking that she was actually in He Louqi and He Lianxing, the two of them. The immortal Junjie among the people praised Huo Quai's exploits in front of him, and he had the meaning of scolding the bald man to the monk, although she was straightforward, she couldn't help but be stunned, and two red glows quietly flew up the jade cheeks.

Helian Xing saw Qingping come to his senses, but he couldn't bear to be responsible, but said lightly: "Huo Qubing landed in Hanhai, we are called Beihai, the smoke and waves are vast, the water is clear and blue, the mountains on the shore are continuous, the trees are forested, the scenery is beautiful, and the water and grass are abundant. There are many strange and mysterious places between the mountains and the sea, which make people linger and can't bear to return, but it's a pity that we have to hurry back to the Qingtian Palace, otherwise Mrs. Xu should really go to travel. At this time, although the North Sea is frozen for thousands of miles, the seaside is much warmer than other places in the desert steppe, and you can break the ice to fish, shave snow and dig grass, and there will be no shortage of food and forage for the winter, many poor tribes. If you don't move south by chasing water and grass, you will go to the north sea to spend the winter!"

Qingping knew that although Helian Xing was magnanimous. But it is inevitable that there will be a mustard because of this, but the difference between Hu and Han, it is beyond the power of human beings to turn around, so I have to smile slightly, and say slightly apologetically: "Brother Helian's description is really fascinating, if it weren't for Qingping's frailty, I really want to ask Brother Helian as a guide." On the first day of the moon, Chunyang once had a poem: "Traveling to the North Sea in the twilight." Sister although there is no mystery connection. If you can swim in the North Sea, you will be happy for life!"

He Lianxing was still a little dissatisfied with Qingping's gaffe, but He Louqi really didn't take it to heart, seeing that the two of them avoided the important and lightly, and forcibly shifted the topic to the scenery of Beihai, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Girls don't need to be involved indiscriminately. Helian is also a little more open-minded, can you stare at your eyes and don't admit it, can you treat the things that have happened as nothing? Wei Qing and Huo Quai's illness broke the Huns, sealed the wolf Juxu, needless to say, Dou Xian and Shi Yanran of the Eastern Han Dynasty are also a grand event that the Han people are proud of, but the Central Plains also has the disaster of five nonsense, for them, this is not a humiliation that is difficult to wash. The Central Plains is strong, we have to try to plug outside, we are strong and strong, how can we not covet the Central Plains, no matter what is far away, just say that a hundred years ago, the desert grassland was still the world of the Rouran people. On the other hand, in the last years of the previous dynasty, the Central Plains was in civil strife, and the displaced people were everywhere, but if it weren't for the frustrated master who wrote the seven-volume "Bei Zhai Tuzhi", who designed and schemed and provoked Rouran to be torn apart, where would it be possible for us Hu Rong and the two clans to rise? On the other hand, in the last years of the previous dynasty, the Central Plains was in civil strife, and the displaced people were everywhere, but if we hadn't repeatedly raised troops and knocked on the side, it would not have been a change of dynasty, and there would be no problem to support it for at least another thirty or fifty years, and between Hu and Han, it was just a battle between tigers and wolves. The success or failure of the rise and fall is all due to the number of gas. Why should you bother with a girl?

Helian Xing listened to the teachings of the master, naturally he was happy and convinced, Qingping listened to it in his ears, but it was inevitable that it was a little unpleasant, she Xing Zi was talented, even if she was asking for He Louqi, she was unwilling to submit to others, and immediately raised her voice: " The words of the national teacher are not right, everything has its own origin, how can it confuse black and white, generalize, the people of the Central Plains make a living from farming and weaving, the sun rises and works, and the sun rests, even if the superior wants to show off his military exploits, the common people only want to live and work in peace and contentment, not to mention the previous dynasties, except for the king of the founding of the country, there is still the ambition to expand the territory, the rest of the emperors, most of them are greedy for comfort, as long as the foreign enemy does not come to attack, how has he taken the initiative to provoke, not like the grassland departments, not only the noble chieftain is ambitious, that is, the young man who has just learned to ride a horse and shoot arrows, but also wants to get something for nothing, between Hu and Han, although the war is continuous, who is right and who is wrong, it is difficult to distinguishHowever, if it weren't for the various ethnic groups outside the Central Plains to covet the land and goods of the Central Plains. How could there be today's endless death? The Xiongnu were troubled, every time the army attacked, Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, built a straight road, it was to resist the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty was initially decided, the Central Plains was in ruins, the Xiongnu were even more rampant, and Gaozu was unable to protect the land and the people. can only endure humiliation, drink to quench thirst, and make peace. Xu took the princess and relatives, gifted the children with gold silk, and let them take what they wanted, but the Huns were insatiable. It was still repeatedly invaded until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing broke the Xiongnu, so that the people of northern Xinjiang did not have to worry about the Xiongnu iron cavalry coming to plunder. Even so, the Xiongnu are still strong and strong, if they sit idly by, and wait until the Xiongnu recover, there will be a great wall, and how can they prevent Huma from going south. Therefore, since then, the Han and Hungarians have been entangled in wars for hundreds of years, but it is a pity that the grassland tribes have risen and fallen. Although the Xiongnu were destroyed, Xianbei and Wuhuan have quietly risen, and even Wuhu Chaohua, Sheji was overturned, and the remnants of the Central Plains did not survive. The past is not forgotten, the teacher of the future, a hundred years ago, Rouran was in trouble, and its momentum was not inferior to the Huns, in order to prevent the recurrence of the old things in China. Lord Fu Pei did not hesitate to make several envoys in the name of Jian. Disturbing the various tribes of Rouran, this move has certainly caused great harm to all ethnic groups outside the Saiwai, but the deep hatred between Hu and Han is like this, if the national teacher is born as the son of heaven in the Central Plains. Is it possible to sit back and ignore the prosperity of Rouran?

He Louqi smiled slightly when he heard this, and coldness finally flashed in the depths of his eyes, but his tone was extremely indifferent. Said slowly: The girl only reads a few history books, and she dares to be the song of the horse, which is really unbeknownst to the sky! You only know that the Xiongnu, Rouran, and Hurong are all wolf ambitions and covet the Central Plains. But I don't know that it is bitter cold outside, and it is difficult to survive. The people of the Central Plains only need to open up the fields, they can plant in spring and harvest in autumn, plant mulberry and raise silkworms, if there is no excesses and miscellaneous taxes. A few acres of land can feed a family, if there is no field, there are forests in the mountains, fish and shrimp in the water, it is enough to make a living, the land outside the plug is poor, and only pasture grass can grow on the grassland, and grains and vegetables cannot be planted. In vain, mulberry and hemp can only be grazed with cattle and sheep. However, the grassland is boundless, but not all places can be grazing, and most of them are deserts and barren beaches. Snow Mountain Ice "Water and Grass Abundant Land is only 12/12, the people of the Central Plains, can still ask for wind and rain, on the grassland, but the climate is bad, which year there is no heavy rain and wind, frost and snow, many herdsmen often lose everything overnight, even if everything is smooth, cattle, sheep and horses grow slowly. If you don't have a few years, it's useless at all, and if you don't do it well, you will lose everything.

The Han people often criticize the customs of "beautiful and young and strong, cheap and old, weak, but they don't know that even young and strong men are most likely to live past the age of forty, just because of lack of food and clothing, the various tribes of the grassland have repeatedly attacked each other, and there is a lack of medical treatment, either died of war, or died of disease, if you can live to fifty or sixty years old, even if you are abandoned by the clansmen, it is already a difficult blessing. Girl, I'm going to ask you. Under this firmament, in the vast land, is it possible that the names of your Han people are written on which land, why do you occupy the fertile land, but you still have to kill each other, tyrannical things, but we have to be precarious, struggling on the line of life and death every day? Since the sky does not allow it, why not take it in person, natural selection, weak Rou strong food, but so, what other opinions do you have!"

Although Qingping is well-read, and has a famous teacher's teachings, but after all, young and shallow, although he feels that He Lou Qiqiang is reasonable, but if she refutes, but there is nothing to say, this time to seek medical treatment, deep into the desert grassland, deeply feel that the scenery outside the Central Plains is very different, it is really sparsely populated, scarce products, and occasionally meet some tribes, all are very poor, and there are often horse thieves raging, the suffering of herdsmen, even more than the people of the Central Plains, and Hu Rong such a big tribe is certainly showing off their might, but those scattered herdsmen are bold and hospitable. Even though there is not much left in the house, he still does not want to neglect the guests, but it is quite different from the fierce and cunning rumored. hesitated, and finally recklessly said: "The land is poor and addicted, although it is a gift from God. However, if no one works hard, it is to get the entire Central Plains, what is the use, whether it is the Xiongnu Xianbei or Rouran Wuhuan, they only know how to plunder and boast, dry up and fish, only think of turning the fertile soil of the Central Plains where the grains grow into a pasture for horses to gallop, if so, even if the whole is captured, what is the point of the Central Plains? In fact, the grassland is rich in cattle, sheep and horses, but the Central Plains has salt, tea, gold silk, five grains, cotton and linen, rather than not knowing how to cherish it, it is better to communicate with each other, and it is better to form an alliance forever, is it better than seeing each other with swords and guns, you live and die!"

After all, He Louqi was open-minded, and he was angry for a while, but it was only because he regarded Yang Ning and Qingping as his juniors, so he asked for full blame, in fact, he was born outside the Saiwai, he was born in a Rong noble, and he had pretended to be a Han in the Central Plains, and no one in these areas knew Yixia and Gang as well as him. What Qing Jiang said is actually quite fair. It's not biased. It's just that the position is the same: Liu Bao is different, which has caused ideological differences, like a chasm, and there is no possibility of making up for it. Seeing Qingping's blushing face and defending there, she shook her head and smiled: "After all, the girl has never seen the world, this seat once said that the Central Plains is outside the fortress, but it is a battle between tigers and wolves, although the wolves will serve the disease of the tiger and share the food, how can the tiger allow a group of wolves to sleep on the side of the couch." Emperor of the Central Plains. But if you have a little talent, whether it is to show off your martial arts, or if you want to steal peace, but if there is a way to weaken the strength of all ethnic groups outside the Saiwai, you will never give up using it. Although it is still a teaching word, the tone has softened a lot.

Qingping wanted to speak and stopped, and finally gave up in frustration, although she was stubborn, but she was not a person who was strong in words, when the master Du Qing was never taught, he had talked about how the imperial court of the past dynasties used the spine tea method to detain the alien race, because of his curiosity, he carefully talked about the essence of it, and it was really the use of the demand for salt tea cloth outside the plug to weaken the strength of the alien race, strictly speaking, it was really a trick to deceive.

Seeing Qing Pingren's rare depressed appearance. Yang Ning, who was listening silently, was uncertain. I really want to save face for my beloved wife, but he is not good at words and wants him to argue at length. But it was difficult for him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. I suddenly remembered that my mother had mentioned to my master Ximen Lie the key to the victory or defeat of the Hu-Han dispute, although it was only a few words, but combined with Qingping's words. It actually made him come up with some words. After thinking about it carefully, Yang Ning said lightly: "Senior, junior has a problem in martial arts, I want you to give me some advice!"

He Louqi only said that Yang Ning wanted to change the topic. smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what problems Zijing has, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Yang Ning said solemnly: "If there are two warriors who do a battle of life and death, one of them is quick to shoot, light and clear, and the other has deep internal strength and is strictly guarded, if the person who is good at attacking is defeated, he can drift away, and the person who is good at defending is clumsy in pursuit, and he can't kill them all, if he is defeated, he will be killed." Ask your seniors, if these two people are evenly matched in martial arts, who is more likely to win?"

He Louqi was speechless for a long time when he heard this, he was a wise and keen person, and naturally sensed Yang Ning's implication, the clans outside the Saiwai were long in running, and the Han people in the Central Plains were good at defense, which has been the case since ancient times, and if Hu Rong was defeated, most of them would immediately go away, so that the Han soldiers and horses could not pursue, and the defeat of the Han people was the disaster of destroying the country and destroying the country, that is, the rabbit was forced to a desperate place and fought to the death, not to mention the people, who were put to death and reborn, but so, thinking of this, finally sighed:" With the idea of death, they often live in desperate places, not to mention that the two are equal in martial arts. Even those who are good at guarding are slightly inferior, and they are also self-preservation."

Yang Ning said again: "Ask the seniors again." Or are the two warriors of the square, those who are good at attacking are invincible, but the people who are alone and those who are good at defending are ten times as many, and the two sides will want to separate life and death, in the opinion of their predecessors, what is the victory or defeat?"

He Lou Poison has already understood that Yang Ning is a metaphor for the dispute between Hu and Han with the way of martial arts, and it is immediately clear when he hears the words, the clans outside the Saiwai seem to be powerful, but the young and strong men who can fight, at most only 400,000, even if the Han people seem to be weak, once the soldiers and horses are often more than one million, as long as the money and food are sufficient, it is to recruit millions of soldiers in the people, it is only a matter of time, although their own troops are strong and strong, but they are not able to continue, even if the enemy is slightly weaker, the stamina is long; He Louqi sighed and said: "Whether it is a group attack, or a wheel warfare method, it is a lonely person. It's all about defeat!"

Yang Ning saw that He Louqi's expression was gloomy, and he also felt uneasy. However, thinking of Qingping's embarrassment, he continued: "If you are good at guarding ten people, or you are not in alignment, or you can't show your strengths, so that the people who attack are good at one enemy and ten, you can subdue the heroes, but after defeating, you feel that what you are good at is a foreign master, if you want to convince the opponent. Or they are powerless to resist, and they must be cultivated both internally and externally. Both offensive and defensive, but they are not learned, and they can't be practiced with other martial arts, if they are forced to cultivate, they are either nondescript, or they go crazy, ask their predecessors, this person who wins, may win forever? .

He Louqi heard this, only felt gloomy in his heart, Yang Ning was alluding to the deepest worries in his heart, he was familiar with the scriptures and history, and the well-read group immediately won the world, and could not immediately rule the world, if it was true that Hu Rong ruled the world, if he wanted to occupy the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains forever, unless he could kill the Han people in the world cleanly, he would have to use the knowledge of the Han people to govern the country, since the former is impossible, the latter is imperative. However, for sinology, the ability to educate is generally warm. He Louqi was deeply touched, although he was a * person. In fact, the thinking is no different from the Han people, and the difference is just the blood origin, if in the future, everyone of the two ethnic groups is the same as themselves, and how different is it from the Han people, Hu Rong's advantage lies in the strong bow and fast horse. It is by virtue of force to occupy the Central Plains, forcing the Han people to rank under Chen, if you lose this only advantage, wouldn't it be self-abandoning martial arts, if you want the best of both worlds, I'm afraid that it will really be as this young man said, nondescript, go crazy, think of this, finally sighed, no longer answered, rode a horse to the direction of Guyanyi. Seeing this, Lan Jun's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but glare at Yang Ning, spurred his horse, and hurriedly chased after He Louqi's back. Helian Xing looks rough on the outside, but he is actually meticulous. Seeing that the master was gone, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Ning deeply, and he also got up and chased after him.

Seeing the three of them leave one after another, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and couldn't help but look at Qingping. There was a look of hesitation and uneasiness in his eyes. If this move really offended He Louqi, how should he ask him to heal Qingping, even if He Louqi will not break his promise, as long as he is slightly distracted, it may cause irreparable tragedy, although he trusts He Louqi's character very much, but the life and death of his lover, Yang Ningzhen really can't be completely assured.

Qingping is smiling like a flower, suddenly opened her arms, like Lingyun Feiyan pounced on Ailang, Yang Ning subconsciously opened his arms, just hugged the warm jade and warm fragrance, Qingping leaned on Yang Ning's chest, starry eyes slightly closed, immersed in endless comfort and happiness, in order to maintain their dignity, the lover actually fought for the world's first master, and even convinced the four great masters with words, Cheng* He Louqi, the teacher of the human country, how could she not feel proud and favored, the joy at this moment was better than when she learned that there was still a cure for her poisonous injuries.

It's been a long time since I've written this text, I'm really sorry!
