Chapter 21: The Eagle on the Gobi
The Gobi outside the border is very depressed. Three horses galloped away from the roadless Gobi Desert, with pleasure and heartiness.
It was Sima Weiguang who was the same as Zhao Wang and Liu immediately. They rarely go out of the customs, and at this time, they appreciate the magnificence and desolation of the Gobi Desert, and they can't help but feel a sense of joy in their hearts.
Sima Weiguang said with emotion, "Thinking of this magnificent scenery, not only is it difficult to appreciate in the Central Plains, but it is also rare to see it in the Guannei!"
Liu Tong said, "Thinking that the Khitan people living on this Gobi Desert are really much better than us!"
Zhao Wang said, "Wandering every day, there is no fixed place, and I am always dealing with tigers and wolves, and it is not better to go there." ”
Liu Tong glanced at him and sneered at him, "I just hope so, and I don't want to hide in the nest and be a lypi worm." ”
Zhao Wang said angrily, "Liu Tong, Liu Tong, you are working with me every day!"
Liu Tong laughed, "I'm too lazy to do anything with you!"
Sima Weiguang said, "I think that the Khitan life is in such an environment, and the mind is different from the Central Plains!"
As he was talking, an eagle flew in the distance, chirping and hovering in the sky, which couldn't help but attract the attention of all three people. Sima Weiguang couldn't help but sigh again, "It is also very refreshing to think that I can fly over this big Gobi like this eagle." ”
Zhao Wang said, "Yes, yes, it is really a happy thing to be able to fly high like that eagle." ”
The eagle circled over their heads for a while, and then flew north, and the three of them were still looking up and envious, when suddenly they saw the eagle fall from the sky and fall into a withered yellow forest in front of them.
Sima Weiguang couldn't help but be taken aback, "What's going on?"
Liu Tong said, "I think there is someone who is good at shooting eagles, so he shot it down." ”
Sima Weiguang couldn't help but sigh again, "That archery skill is very good, let's go there and have a look!"
Zhao Wang hurriedly persuaded, "It's not right, son, let's hurry to Tuchengguan." There are not many garrisons in this generation, and the grass is rampant, and it is not peaceful, so it is better not to cause more trouble. ”
Liu Tong laughed, "Steward Zhao, Steward Zhao, you are just cowardly, what are you afraid of! Son, go to Tuchengguan, also go in that direction, turn around and take a look, stay away, if you see that it is a grass coward, let's go." ”
Sima Weiguang said, "Yes, let's go over and take a look, Steward Zhao, it's okay." ”
Zhao Wang didn't say anything more, and the three of them went there.
However, it was said that the Gobi Desert platform was barren, no farther than the place where the eyes could see, and the place that seemed to be close was a long distance, and the three of them also walked for a long time.
At last they came to the woods where the eagle had fallen, but there was no man, and the great eagle was nowhere to be seen. Liu Tong pointed to the ground, "You see, it's the marks of some horses' hooves and ruts, there are not many people, they are heading north, and it seems that they are also heading in the direction of Tuchengguan." ”
Zhao Wang said, "Maybe it's a vendor who goes to the town next to Tucheng Pass." ”
The three of them continued to walk along the car print. After walking many more distances, he suddenly heard the sound of chaos ahead.
"But what's going on?" Sima Weiguang couldn't help but feel puzzled, and even urged the horse to rush there, and the two behind hurriedly followed.
When they came to the front, they saw that there was a lot of dust, and twenty or thirty men on horseback and armed with guns were gathered there, and there seemed to be the sound of weapons striking each other in the middle, as if two groups of men were fighting.
Liu Tong said, "These grass robbers must have come to rob the property of those caravans." Childe, what should I do?"
Zhao Wang hurriedly said, "There are a lot of them, let's bypass them, let's go to Tuchengguan quickly." ”
Liu Tong sneered when he heard this.
Sima Weiguang said, "Don't worry, let's go over and take a look, those grass cowards are not afraid of them, no matter what, we can't ignore this evil." ”
Liu Tong became happy, "What Childe said is very true! I'll go over first, and I'll meet them!" This Liu Tong has always held his breath since he and the fugitive Huang Zichi have been winless in several battles, and now he finally found an opportunity to vent, very excitedly, added a few more whips, kicked the horses' hooves, and rushed over there very quickly.
Sima Weiguang smiled, "This Liu Tong is jubilant when he sees a fight!" Zhao Wang followed behind him, still telling him to be careful.
Liu Tong came to the group of grass robbers first, and saw that there was a group of Khitan caravans surrounded in the middle, several carts of property were piled up in the center, and there were two women sitting on the cart, trembling in fear, and there were five or six Khitan people surrounded by horses and wielding knives to fight with the grass robbers who came to fight.
Liu Tong shouted, "Wait for the grass coward, dare to rob serious people in broad daylight!" As he spoke, he took out the big knife on horseback and rushed over.
The gang of grass cowards was taken aback by Liu Tong's shout, and when they saw that it was just a big man with a knife, they had such a big breath, and many people laughed.
Liu Tong charged forward, and one or two people came out to meet him, rushed to Liu Tong, and was knocked off his horse by Liu Tong in a few clicks.
The grass robbers were taken aback when they saw it, they didn't want this person to be so skilled, and when they saw that there were two other people following behind them, they couldn't help but panic a little. Liu Tong moved forward, rushed into the grass formation, his eyes were red, and he fought with them.
Sima Weiguang came, took out the spear on horseback and rushed into the grass robber formation, "You wait for the grass robber, quickly surrender!"
One of the girls in the caravan, with a chubby body and a red face, was trembling with fright just now, but now she was also in spirit, and said very excitedly, "Those robbers, who were so arrogant just now, will not work at this time." ”
Another girl said, "It's really lucky that these two strong men came to the rescue, otherwise it would be really troublesome." She sat on the carriage obliquely, she didn't panic just now, and now she was still very calm, looking at the two strong men with great appreciation, especially the handsome man with a red spike spear, his eyes were sharp, his posture was tough, and the spear was in his hand, he was very smart, as if he had life, and he was full of vitality. And then those rats and coars, it seems that he is even more sassy, and she is very fascinated by it.
Several Khitan warriors, seeing someone come to help, also became more heroic. The more they fought, the more they were defeated, and they all fled. One of them was the fastest to escape, ran to the outermost edge and stood still, and scolded, "Grandma's legs! Are you Han Chinese? Don't help our own people, but help these Khitan dogs!"
Sima Weiguang raised his spear and pointed at the thief, and shouted, "Unscrupulous grass coward, everyone will punish him for doing evil!"
The girl was still looking straight at him, getting more and more stupid.
The fat girl was not very happy, and dragged her beside her, "What's wrong with you?" ”
