After Tang Qingmei and Yang Linhao rested for a night in Xiliang Mansion, they were full of energy and drove the carriage to the southwest. In the early autumn of Xiaguo, it was a little dry, and Tang Qingmei prepared several water bladders for drinking on the way.

There are about 800 miles of road from Xiliangfu to Qinghai Lake, and the two seem not to be very far away, but they have to cross the rolling Qilian Mountains, which is also the helplessness caused by not taking the Song Kingdom.

Tang Qingmei and Yang Linhao gradually walked two hundred miles and came to Qilian Mountain. Yang Linhao jumped out of the carriage, moved his muscles and bones, couldn't help but look up at the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance, and sighed: "It's a wonder to be able to see snow at this time." Tang Qingmei also got out of the carriage, handed a water bladder to Yang Linhao, and said with a smile: "This kind of scene, when it arrives in the Tubo country, it will only be more." ”

Yang Linhao sat on the grass, drinking water with a clatter, and said strangely: "There are some meadows here, and it is rare to see pines and cypresses, let alone any towering trees." Tang Qingmei said: "There are still a lot of green pines under the mountain, but our position is a little high." Yang Linhao sighed and continued: "But there are still pine trees on the top of Tianzhu Mountain." Tang Qingmei said with a smile: "Our location must be much higher than the top of Tianzhu Mountain." Tang Qingmei inadvertently mentioned Tianzhu Mountain, and a sour feeling appeared in her heart.

Yang Linhao didn't seem to understand, thought for a while, and said: "It seems that it's true, just along the way, there are some uphill roads, although there are also downhill roads, but there are really few." Tang Qingmei looked forward and said: "It's a pity that I am not familiar with the terrain of Qilian Mountain, I don't know which cols and valleys are straight, and it is not a way for us to simply rely on the compass to climb the mountains, and the terrain is higher, but I am afraid that the ground is frozen soil, and if it encounters snow again, the carriage will not be able to go." ”

Yang Linhao said: "It would have been good if we had asked for a guide." Tang Qingmei said: "Let's eat some dry food first, and then we will pay attention to where there are cattle and sheep, and when we find herds of cattle and sheep, we can find local herdsmen." Yang Linhao smiled: "Okay." ”

After a while, Yang Linhao found that more than a dozen people were galloping in the distance, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Tang, look." Tang Qingmei turned her head to look, only to see that the men in Tibetan robes who were sitting right away, Tang Qingmei said: "Lin Hao, don't be afraid. We're always ready to get our hands dirty. ”

Tang Qingmei sat down cross-legged, and the falling jade qin lay flat on her lap. Yang Linhao and Tang Qingmei stood with their backs to each other. After a while, Yang Linhao and Tang Qingmei were surrounded by more than a dozen looters in Tibetan robes. The leader said: "Hand over the money, otherwise, Lao Tzu will attack you on the little beauty." ”

Tang Qingmei said to Yang Linhao: "Sturdy horses, leave a few." Yang Linhao immediately understood, pulled out the Qinxue sword, spun around, and slapped the horse's front legs with the blade, instead of cutting off the horse's front legs directly. Yang Linhao swept around, and directly overturned seven or eight raiders with people and horses, and at the same time, Tang Qingmei plucked the strings, and all the horses on the other side fell into madness, and the people on the horse fell to the ground one by one.

Tang Qingmei took advantage of the situation with both palms out, casting a thousand miles of ice, one left and one right each used an ice wall to freeze the two, Tang Qingmei said: "Who else is not convinced?" Seeing this, the leader immediately ran away, Tang Qingmei shot two piano waves at the leader's left and right calves, only to see the leader Ah, lying on the ground.

The leader turned around in pain, quickly took off his Tibetan robe, and arched his hand: "The heroine spares her life, her own people, her own people." The other raiders hurriedly took off their robes.

Yang Linhao said: "Aren't you Tibetans?" The leader said: "Back to the master, we are also Han Chinese, and we came here to do some business without capital." Tang Qingmei said: "Although I am a member of the party, I think you have really lost the face of the Han people, no wonder the grass here is fertile, but no one came to graze, it turned out that you drove away." ”

The leader said: "Woman, the little one won't dare next time, and he won't dare next time." Tang Qingmei said: "Is there a next time? This time, I will finish you first." The leader knelt down and said: "The heroine spares her life, and I am also old and young in my family." ”

The other raiders also knelt and kowtowed. Tang Qingmei said: "Boss, what's your name?" The leader looked around and said, "The little one's name is Tian Qing." Tang Qingmei said: "Presumably you are very familiar with this Qilian Mountain, right?" Tian Qing said: "That's, that's!" Tang Qingmei said: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to be a man." ”

Tian Qing knelt down and said, "Heroine, please command." Tang Qingmei said: "You can be my guide and take me to Qinghai Lake, by the way, you can choose two more brothers and take turns to drive for us." Yang Linhao leaned over to Tang Qingmei's side and said softly, "Aunt Tang, this is not appropriate. Tang Qingmei said softly: "What's wrong?"

Yang Linhao said softly: "We can let them be guides, but we can't take the carriage they drive." Tang Qingmei thought that Yang Linhao's words were very reasonable, in case this group of ringing horses cheated halfway, she and Yang Linhao sat in the car and didn't know, and it was possible to fall into the abyss at that time, Tang Qingmei suddenly felt that although Yang Linhao was young, he really had foresight, so Tang Qingmei couldn't help but hug Yang Linhao to show relief.

Tang Qingmei said: "In this way, Tian Qing, you are the guide in front, the two of us are riding behind, and your two brothers are riding horses and leading our carriage in the middle." Tian Qing said: "Yes, yes, follow the instructions of the woman." Tang Qingmei's left and right palms pushed out at the same time, shattering the ice wall that bound the two raiders.

Tang Qingmei picked two sturdy horses and said, "These horses are raised by you, and they will definitely be at your disposal, but I tell you, don't use some crooked brains, otherwise, I don't know who will die first." Tian Qing said: "Yes, yes, the little ones don't dare, don't dare." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "Without further ado, let's go." ”

Tian Qing was really familiar with Qilian Mountain, and led Tang Qingmei and Yang Linhao to walk between the river valleys. Yang Linhao held the multigrain cake in one hand and the water bladder in the other, which was very comfortable. Tang Qingmei stroked the ends of her hair scattered in the wind, and said with a smile: "The green river valley is much more beautiful than the bare mountainside." Yang Linhao said: "That's right, but the cattle and sheep definitely still like the meadow." Haha......"

Tang Qingmei smiled: "This is also true." Lin Hao, with my friendship with your mother and your aunt, you should call me Aunt Tang, so why did your mother let you call me Aunt Tang?" Yang Linhao took a sip of water, thought about it, and said: "I guess my mother thinks that you met my father first, and let me call you Aunt Tang, I don't forget your kindness in protecting my father at the beginning." Tang Qingmei thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Sister Lianyu is really thoughtful. ”

Tang Qingmei and Yang Linhao walked with Tian Qing for half an hour, the valley became narrower and narrower, the stream became smaller and smaller, but the terrain was becoming more and more precipitous, Tang Qingmei and Yang Linhao couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't say anything to each other, as if they knew it by heart. Tang Qingmei thought in her heart: "Look at what tricks you want to play." (To be continued.) )
