Chapter 16 Northland Scenery

At this time, Rijong ascended the throne with the era name Junyu. It has been nearly ten years since the death of Mongolia www.biquge.info.

The territory of the Southern Song Dynasty extends to the East China Sea in the east, and the westernmost to the Qionglai Mountains in the Ya'an area. It is separated from Dali by the Jinsha River in the southwest, and separated by the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River in the north, facing off with Mongolia in the distance. Li Changqing walked all the way and saw that under the rule of Song Di, although there was a slight corruption, it was more that the army and the people were united and hated the same enemy. Years of conquest have made more people beggars, but they have aroused the people's resistance to the Tartars. In the Song Dynasty, when it comes to tartars, everyone grits their teeth and words about it, and they can't eat it quickly.

The climate of the north has always been very different from that of the south. Hu Tian is snowing in August, which is not a lie. What's more, at this time, it is already the winter solstice, and in many places in the north, it is already full of snow.

Somewhere in the north, more than a dozen people walked through the snow. This group of people seems to walk casually, but there are people running back and forth, passing on news. They were all dressed in thick cotton clothes and Mongolian attire, but they all spoke Chinese, which seemed extremely strange.

The two of them looked ahead for a while, and then looked around,

A group of people picked up remote places, avoided the wind and snow, and walked slowly. Although this team of people are peers, they are in groups of three or five, each in their own formation, and it is obvious that they are improvised. At the end of the line, the two walked independently. The man who seemed to be young, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, was a little thin, and although he wore a felt hat, his face was already red from the cold. He pinned the large knife in his hand to his waist. He wasn't tall, and the scabbard was faintly touching the ground. He put a pair of red hands that had already been frozen next to his mouth, and sighed hard, Fang whispered: "Uncle Zhang, when we come out this time, will we run into ......?" The big man surnamed Zhang looked forward, and Fang said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, if that person hears it, be careful of your suffering." He smiled again: "You kid finally know that you are suffering, right? If you don't practice at home, you will suffer this sin." Go back this time, see if you are still lazy?" The young man was full of shame, but he still insisted on it: "I...... What is this!" He didn't finish speaking, but he looked around a few times.

The big man surnamed Zhang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "Although this place has penetrated deep into the land occupied by Mongolia, these places we have walked have always been inaccessible, and it is nothing for me to go many times, so it should be no problem to come this time." The young man relieved his heart slightly, and said with a gloomy expression: "All the way, others will take care of me, otherwise I would have ...... long ago When I go back this time, I must practice hard and don't drag others down. The big man smiled and said, "You can practice with your heart, and your parents won't blame you for sneaking out after you go back." The big man surnamed Zhang glanced at the team again, his eyes fell on a handsome scholar in the middle of the team, and said: "You have also studied martial arts for a few years, look at others, a weak scholar, who has been with us for so long, still looks calm, and has no fear on his face, which even I admire." If you can have the calmness of someone's family, then your martial arts will probably have been completed a long time ago. ”

The young man's face turned red, and he said: "Although Brother Li doesn't know martial arts, he wants to be full of poetry and books, and he wants to take the test to show off his talents, which one can I compare?" The big man shook his head and said: "You don't have to be discouraged, although I also agree with this point, but here and now, there is a fart for reading poetry and books?

At the front of the group was a man in a gray leather jacket who was taller than the others. He walked first, followed closely by three or five people, and the rest of the people were left behind, with a faint hint of awe in their eyes. He glanced behind him, and seemed to feel that the team was too loose, and everyone was shocked when he shouted. Although his voice was low, it contained internal force, and it was obvious that his martial arts were not weak. The two people at the end of the team also felt that the cheers were clearly audible, and they couldn't help but be even more shocked, and they didn't dare to say more, so they hurried away immediately.

The man looked through the group with a mocking look on his face. His gaze finally fell on one of the members of the group, but his brow furrowed. The man was dressed as a scholar, and he seemed to be weak and weak, and he didn't know martial arts at all, but he was dressed in green clothes, but he was not very thick. The scholar did not walk with others, and all the way, his face was not red, his breath was not panting, and there was not the slightest worry on his face. With his own physique, he was already slightly panting at this time, but the scholar could still surpass himself? If he said that he was strong in martial arts, why did he not have the slightest appearance? If he did not know martial arts, how could he be so bold?

Although he felt vigilant, he was very young and he was not afraid of him. He raised his hand at the scholar and said with a smile: "Little brother, come here, I'm bored alone, let's talk for a while." ”

The scholar was surprised and said, "Me?" Although he felt strange, he did not hesitate much, and immediately walked a few steps quickly towards the big man in front of him.

The big man took off his fur hat, shook the snow on it, and smiled at him: "My surname is Wang, ranked fifth, and I am called the fifth master, I don't know what to call the little brother?"

The scholar was also covered in snow, but he didn't care. He said: "Under the surname Li, the name is Changqing, and the words are quiet. ”

The big man laughed and said: "I can't get used to your scholars, it's a name and a word, like me Wang Wu, how convenient is it to call?"

Li Changqing said: "The name is given by the parents, but the word is given by oneself, but it is a word of encouragement given to oneself, just like the name of the people in the rivers and lakes!"

Wang Wu nodded and said, "Reasonable." He added, "Brother Li, where are you going?"

Li Changqing said with a smile: "The ancient saying 'It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles', Li thought so. Li Mou started all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, traveled thousands of miles, and came here to experience the difference between this different place and customs. Indeed, this is something that cannot be learned in books. ”

That Wang Wuzou raised his eyebrows, and then smiled: "Brother Li is really leisurely and elegant, if people who study in the world can be as down-to-earth as Brother Li, why don't I worry about it?" He said: "I am not as elegant as Brother Li, I am a rough person, I can only do these tiring work, and live by this difference." ”

Li Changqing said: "Are they all going to sell local products?"

Wang Wu nodded and said, "Yes, although this is a bit dangerous, but when you go to Song Land, it is a huge profit." ”

Li Changqing said: "Does Brother Wang also have to live on this?"

"Hmm!" Wang Wu smiled and said, "I'm with them, so naturally too." Brother Li joined halfway, it may not be clear, although this may seem simple, but it is really dangerous. ”

Li Changqing was puzzled, but he didn't show it, he said: "Yes, this road can be regarded as full of dangers."

The king said: "We have chosen some remote roads along the way, which are muddy and difficult to walk, although we have walked many times, we cannot guarantee that they will be foolproof." The Mongolian tribes are now fighting for the position of the Great Han, and it is difficult to ensure that no one passes here. If we meet a small team, we are fine, but if we meet a large army of Tartars, we are in danger. ”

Li Changqing said: "So we must be cautious in every move, and only after a thousand considerations can we plan and then act." ”

Wang Wu smiled and said, "Although I don't want Brother Li to be so full of wealth, I still know this." He said: "Our team seems to be more than ten people, but it is not counting the people who are scouting. I divided them into three teams of three people, surveyed in three directions, and came back every two hours to report. If any of the team doesn't come back, then we're going to have to re-orient ourselves. ”

Li Changqing sighed: "Although this plan seems a little ruthless, it is the safest method at the moment. However, the investigators must be cronies. ”

While the two were talking, another pair of investigators came to report. The three of them were all dressed in cotton jackets, dressed in Mongolian clothes, but they all wore fur hats on their heads, which was slightly weird. Li Changqing glanced at them, feeling slightly strange in his heart.

The three of them walked vigorously and moved quickly, as if they had been trained many times. When the three saw Wang Wu, they bowed respectfully. was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Li Changqing beside him, and he immediately stopped talking. That Wang Wu pointed at Li Changqing and said with a smile: "This is my Brother Li, is there anything you can't say about the military plane?"

When the three of them heard this, they all glanced at Li Changqing, slightly surprised, but they didn't ask. The one in the middle stepped forward and said, "Fifth Master, I haven't found any Mongolian horses. ”

Then Wang Wudao: "Which team are you from?"

"Team B".

"Team B is investigating the direction of due north", Wang Wu nodded, and said, "What is abnormal due north?"

"There are no human tracks, only a few horse footprints, but they are shallow, apparently some time. ”

"Don't be careless, you go down first!" Wang Wudao: "Brother Li, it's not that I'm too cautious, it's really for the safety of these brothers that I have to do this." ”

Li Changqing smiled and said: "Brother Wang is laughing, Brother Wang is working hard, what can others say?"

Wang Wu also smiled, and he said: "Team C is in charge of the northeast, and it was just reported an hour ago; Team A is in charge of the Northwest ......" His expression changed and said, "The last time I came to report, it was two hours ago. ”

Li Changqing frowned and said: "It may also be that something happened, it's a little later, let's wait for another half an hour." ”

Wang Wu smiled and said, "It's also possible, let's wait and see first!" Although he said this, he did not see the slightest relaxation in his demeanor.

The boy and the big man were still at the back of the line. The young man still had a large knife at his waist. He hadn't seen anything else for a long time, his fear faded, his expression gradually turned to excitement, and he saw all these things with novelty. He said excitedly: "The scenery of this northern land is really very different from the south. Where in the south is there such a thick layer of snow?"

The big man Zou Mei said: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, don't be careless!"

The young man smiled: "Uncle Zhang, I see that birds don't poop here, where will there be others?"
