illegitimate child

Fang Tong's ears were so strong that he moved his ears slightly, put down the bowl he was carrying, and put half of his body on the ground. After a while, he straightened up and looked at Shi Xiuyuan, saying solemnly: "Someone is coming towards me on a horse." Shi Xiuyuan cut it off Standing up with his wrinkled clothes, he looked outside the felt curtain, as if he saw someone coming with his own eyes, "Hundreds of horses, [-] of which are embedded with iron hooves, they should be cavalry, and the rest of the horses' hooves sound chaotic, they should be unmanned."

Fang Tong turned pale with shock: "Could it be that you met a strong man who is a son of a bitch again?" There are nineteen!The last time the family went bankrupt due to robbers, if they were robbed this time, it would be really useless, and they would throw the whole family into the river directly.But he quickly calmed down after many years in the business, and clasped his fist at Shi Xiuyuan: "Sir, the caravan is slow, and it must not run as fast as the cavalry on horseback. I will go out to appease the brothers first, and wait for those sons of bitches to come. Rely on the master to deal with one or two. As long as the lives of the brothers are not ruined, it is fine to give them all the goods."

Although he said this, his heart was cut like a knife. He was in another country, and his strength was not as good as others. It was the best result to save his life. He could only curse the thief and the Wang family who gave the business plan.

What do you say this road is the safest, put his mother's fart, it is so safe that a bandit group with hundreds of horses suddenly appears.

"It's the cavalry, the army." Shi Xiuyuan kept his expression secret, and turned to talk to the old couple, who were also panicked, in begging language.

Fang Tong was overjoyed suddenly, the ones he was most afraid of encountering on the grassland were the Niegus and bandit groups made up of remnants of the defeated tribe and lone wolves exiled from various tribes.The Niegus people are all soldiers and are the most hostile to the Li Dynasty people, and they have the custom of living in groups.All major caravans will avoid the routes where the Niegus tribe gathers in the grasslands.Now in the territory of begging for beauty, most of the begging for face is a peaceful faction, and they can not disturb each other even if they don't say how polite they are.

The begging cavalry came again, and there was a high probability that they had other missions. If they could discuss well and make a valuable contribution, they might not be able to pass the test smoothly.

Thinking of this, Fang Tong lifted the felt curtain and walked out of the vault first, commanding the caravan's carriages to be moved a little further away to make room for the large group of horses.He glanced at Qionglu suspiciously, thinking to himself, what exactly did the master say to those two people.

The cavalry ran extremely fast, and after a while, the ground vibrated more violently, and a herd of horses came roaring not far away. The five beggars headed by them were arranged in the shape of wild geese, wearing short Hu clothes, with their chests, backs, arms and legs covered with beasts. Leather armor, embroidered with a double-headed wolf totem, and a Guoluo belt around the waist, with a beast shape on it and a circle of hooks.Carrying a longbow on his back, the horse is a horse under his crotch, and a saber is hung on the left and right sides of the harness.

The first five men were followed by hundreds of horses, and the rest of the cavalry surrounded the horses to prevent them from getting away.

The mighty herd of horses stopped at a distance of 50 meters, and the first five people broke out and approached slowly.

Fang Tong swallowed his saliva and led Quan Dezhong to meet him, but he saw Shi Xiuyuan parting the felt curtain and walking out in the dome, followed by two old people.Fang Tong heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't understand the language of begging, and he would not know if he stepped forward rashly and annoyed the visitor.He turned around and walked towards Shi Xiuyuan, followed behind him, his eyes locked on the leading cavalry secretly on guard.

Those five people were tall and strong, with smooth arm muscles, and they could vaguely see the explosive power flowing. They rode tall horses, with sharp eyes, and looked down at Shi Xiuyuan and his group.

If Shi Xiuyuan didn't realize it, he put his left hand on his right chest in a calm manner and said hello: "Why is this general here?"

The man who looked like the team leader on horseback showed surprise, as if he hadn't expected that the Central Plains man in front of him was proficient in the begging language, but he had no intention of answering Shi Xiuyuan's question. He looked at the old couple standing behind Shi Xiuyuan, his eyes widened. Sternly: "The great witch has an order. From now on, all the people of the Qiyan tribe are not allowed to raise livestock privately. They will live in groups instead of living in groups. The horses will be taken back by the two wolf cavalry, and the cattle and sheep will also be taken over by the tribe."

As soon as the words fell, the faces of everyone who could understand the begging language changed drastically. Fang Tong, who couldn't understand, also felt something was wrong from Shi Xiuyuan's gloomy expression. On the dagger.Secretly looking at the five people on horseback, his eyes turned to the thinnest cavalryman on the second left.Thinking in my heart, if things change, I will try my best to grab the horse by doing mental calculations or not, and try to break out of the encirclement with Mr. who is powerless.

But Fang Tong thought too much. Shi Xiuyuan's gloomy face was not because the cavalry had any thoughts about the caravan. The Qiyan tribe has always been friendly to Lichao, especially in recent years in order to resist the invasion of the Niegus tribe, which has become increasingly powerful like a ferocious monster. , Li Chao's assistance is indispensable.And the Li Dynasty also needed the begging department to consume part of Gus's strength, so the two hit it off and flirted with each other.This is not a secret in the Li Dynasty. In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, the wolf king Qiyan also sent the second prince Qiu Linnaye to Shangjing as a "guest".In the royal family of the Li Dynasty, there were also princesses who married far away to beg for beauty.

What he didn't understand was why the Qiyan Department gathered horses to prohibit the herdsmen from raising them privately, and also asked the scattered herdsmen to gather in the city.You must know that the cities of the Qiyan tribe have always been inhabited by nobles, and the herdsmen have always lived scattered outside the cities, chasing water and grass, for generations.

Why this sudden change?

Shi Xiuyuan changed his mind, gathered the horses and let the two-wolf iron cavalry take over. Apart from training them into war horses, he couldn't think of a second reason. The gathering of the tribesmen in the city might be to build a large-scale mausoleum, and the slaves raised by the nobles were not enough.But I haven't heard of the death of an important person in the Qiyan Department, or is it for training to become a soldier?If this is the reason, the only one that poses a threat to Qiyan is the Niegus Department. Could it be that the relationship between the two departments has deteriorated to the point of full-scale war?

Thoughts are like flying, thoughts are like electricity.

Let's fight, let's fight!Shi Xiuyuan's pupils suddenly dilated, what if it was a war with Li Chao?

After a while he shook his head again, rejecting this absurd idea himself. There is only one possibility for Qiyan and Lichao to go to war, that is, the wolf king Qiyan has already been female under the wolf king Ningus, and the new co-lord of the grassland is born, but this possibility It's so small, it's the same as nothing.

"I can't give it to you. These livestock are our whole life's painstaking efforts. How can we live if you take them away? We won't go to Wuxu City either! Those living in the city are the livestock of the lords. Only this grassland can live." It's our destination!" Just as Shi Xiuyuan was thinking, the couple took a step forward, raised their heads and glared at the cavalry sitting on the horse, their voices were very loud with a hint of trill, as if they wanted to cover up their fear with a loud voice.

The old man didn't take a step back, his eyes shrank and he still refused to move away. The old woman held her husband's arms tightly in her arms, which seemed to give her courage.

The stooped backs, cloudy eyeballs, and wrinkled skin of the two of them all spoke of their age and their weakness.But even so, they dared to say no to the best cavalry, even if the wolf was old, it was still an old wolf.

The leading cavalryman licked the corner of his mouth with his blood-red tongue and let out a grinning grin. He quickly pulled out the scimitar hanging on the horse. The blade was white and there was a red mark on the edge. How many people's blood was shed, and how many heads were cut off.As soon as the blade was exposed to the air, a faint smell of blood disperses and mixes with the body odor of the blade owner, making one want to vomit.

The blade cut through the air, and roared to chop off the old man's head. Ever since the cavalry appeared, Fang Tong had not relaxed for a moment, his expression was tense, and he was always paying attention to the cavalry's movements.Therefore, as soon as the leading cavalryman drew his sword, he immediately reacted.The spine is bent, the calf retreat muscles bulge, and the palms of the hands are like lightning grabbing Shi Xiuyuan beside him, ready to lead him back.

Mr. is a scholar, gentle and polite, fearing being accidentally hurt by that barbarian, I will take Mr. away first.

Um?Why can't it be pulled?The grasping arm is like cast iron, it doesn't move at all, on the contrary, the palm of the grasping hand hurts, and the person beside him is like a mountain, like a vast sea, firmly rooted in the ground, unmoved by the wind.

Fang Tong looked at the well-mannered, feeble scholar in amazement.Shi Xiuyuan's right arm trembled slightly, and a soft sword slid out of his big sleeve like a spirit snake. The sword was six feet long, and the blade was extremely thin. With a flick of his wrist, the soft sword wrapped around the blade in mid-air like a whip, and the blade was entangled by the soft sword. Shaking a few times in the air, the strength was completely relieved.

What about the frail scholar?Fang Tong was dumbfounded, feeling like he was in a dream.

The leading cavalryman's face darkened, his arms were knotted, his forehead and back of his hands burst into blue veins, and he tried to pull the knife back violently, while the horse under him neighed mournfully.But he seemed to be competing with the mountains, but the unshaven man opposite had his usual expression, standing still and not moving.

The cavalryman turned black and got off his horse with a sullen face. If he continued to fight like this, it would be the horses under him who couldn't bear it first.Shi Xiuyuan slowly retracted his strength, and the snake-like soft sword let go of his tongue and kissed it, and wrapped it around his arm again, "That's right, I don't like to look up at people." He said with a half-smile.

"People from the Central Plains, I advise you not to mind my department's business. The New Ori Grassland is my Di Rong's grassland. People from the Central Plains like you have always been meddling in the middle of nosyness because of your two-point skills," he stomped on the turf. "They're all buried in the mud."

The other four cavalrymen also got off their horses one after another, holding their sabers and staring at Shi Xiuyuan covetously.

"Such a nosy and elegant person, only a certain salute first, which is a courtesy, but the general didn't return the salute, a certain one was contemptuous of his husband, so he acted angrily, the general wants to return the salute now?"

Although the cavalrymen were from the prairie, they were not reckless, otherwise they would not have been promoted to be the squad leader. He had thought that the people from the Central Plains were just ordinary traveling merchants, and he didn't think they would be able to join them.But now that he saw the strength of the big man opposite, he glanced at the small half of the sword tip exposed from the big man's sleeve.He thought to himself, if he annoyed that big man, he might not be his opponent, and his subordinates were too far away to save the nearby fire.A decision was made at the moment, he put away his arrogance, and bowed to return the salute: "The Begging Yan Department, the Gutu family, is very polite."

Shi Xiuyuan nodded in satisfaction, stepped back two steps and spread his hands, signaling that he would not get involved in this matter.

Seeing this, Gu Tuwu breathed out a long breath, and raised his hand to make a gesture. Seeing this, two of the remaining four cavalrymen came out with ropes and walked towards the old couple.

Although the old couple was old and frail, they struggled constantly and were not strong cavalry opponents. After two or three strokes, they were tied up. They took a piece of fur from their trouser pockets and stuffed it into the mouth of the old couple to prevent them from shouting.After finishing all this, he carried the two of them to the group of horses behind like carrying livestock.

It was only then that the crowd discovered that many of the horses in the herd had people tied under their bellies, and they were probably herdsmen who, like the old couple, did not want to hand over their livestock or go to Wuxu City.

Gu Tuwu had been on guard against Shi Xiuyuan for fear that he would suddenly get into trouble, and he was not relieved until the horses raised by the old couple were driven into the herd.He got on his horse neatly, leaving one person to guard the cattle and sheep for a while, and then led the large army away.

Shi Xiuyuan really watched all this quietly, and when Gu Tuwu and his party disappeared into the distance, he coughed, "Let the brothers pack up and prepare to set up camp."

Fang Tong, who was stunned, finally came to his senses. Only then did he confirm that what happened just now was not a dream, and asked foolishly, "Mr., was the champion of martial arts or champion of literature?"

Shi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Naturally, he is the number one scholar in literature. Practicing martial arts is just a hobby. It's hard to be in the hall of elegance. It's hard to be in the hall of elegance."

The corner of Quan Dezhong's mouth twitched beside Fang Tong. It was just a hobby. Brother Tong practiced hard day and night and he was not as good as you. He was so angry!At this time, he admired Shi Xiuyuan from his toes to the hair, and was also secretly afraid that he had offended Mr. Shi so much before, but fortunately, Mr. Sir did not care about him in a large number.Otherwise, it doesn't take much, just one punch can send him to see the Buddha.

Seeing that Fang Tong was still in a trance, Quan Dezhong was secretly proud. Brother Tong really has never seen the world, and Mr. Shi is the number one scholar, which is naturally different from ordinary people.He adjusted his mentality very quickly, as if he had become Shi Xiuyuan's favorite, and shouted loudly: "Everything is packed, and camp is set! A bunch of lazy people, they have to be shouted and watched for everything!" While speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and walked away. .

at night.

Fang Tong was sitting by the bonfire, holding a bunch of beef roasting in his hand. He couldn't figure out one thing. The benefactor he knew had a chivalrous heart.Otherwise, he wouldn't have rescued this little book boy he didn't know when he was parading the streets. Mr. Bai Rili seemed too indifferent, and he really sat back and watched the old couple be kidnapped.

The beef in his hand was burnt, and there was a burnt smell, but he didn't notice it.

"Brother! Something is wrong!"

A man ran over panting and said loudly.

Fang Tong was startled by the sudden sound, and the tortured beef in his hand fell into the fire, crushing the flames.

"What's wrong?" He stood up.

"Horse, one horse is missing."

Horses were very precious in the Li Dynasty, and even caravans like theirs, which had been in business for many years, could only apply for three horses from the Wang family.These three horses were the first-class treasures in the caravan, so they were discovered as soon as they were lost.

One less horse?

Fang Tong's pupils shrunk to the size of a pinprick, he grabbed the man's arm fiercely, and said hastily, "Did you see Mr.?"

The man looked puzzled, he was talking about horses, why did he get involved in Mr., but he still thought about it and said: "Mr., it seems that I have never seen Mr. before."

After a long while, he slapped his head and suddenly realized: "Could it be that Mister stole the horse and ran away!!!"

Fang Tong kicked the man's leg, kicked him like a dog, ran to the place where the horses were grazing, took off the reins of the horse, and rode away under the astonished eyes of the spectators. Leave a sentence, "Wait where you are, and listen to Quan Dezhong's arrangements in advance!"

The horse galloped out, Fang Tong secretly scolded himself for being stupid, why he didn't notice something was wrong earlier, the husband didn't make trouble during the day, he was obviously afraid of implicating himself and others.

But he alone, no matter how good his kung fu is, how can he be an opponent of the nineteen welding brave cavalry?

Be sure to stop sir!

Just as he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Fang Tong, here."

The wind was so loud on horseback that Fang Tong almost thought he was hallucinating.

He looked back and saw a figure riding a horse standing on a hill not far behind him through the faint moonlight.

Fang Tong tightened the reins, turned back and drove the horse towards the hill, and finally his heart sank after seeing the figure clearly—it was Shi Xiuyuan.

My husband just came out for a stroll at night, so I blamed me for thinking too much.

"Sir, it's windy at night, don't stay too long, follow me back."

Shi Xiuyuan smiled without saying a word, took out a piece of high-quality mutton jade from his arms and threw it to Fang Tong: "You go back and bring the caravan brothers back to the ceremony. The jade pendant will pay off all your debts for you. When I bought it."

"Don't you think I'm a horse thief? Chase me out in such a hurry?" Shi Xiuyuan joked.

The mutton fat jade was cold, and Fang Tong felt like falling into an ice cellar. He roared: "Sir! They are all Dirong people! Why bother! Why bother! You are a rare genius in a thousand years. They are just two herdsmen, and they are still Dirong people , sir, it's not worth it!"

"Come back with me." Fang Tong begged with a hoarse voice.

Not to mention that it is a death-seeking act to fight against the nineteen cavalry with one's own strength, even driving on the grassland at night is extremely difficult and dangerous, this is ten deaths without life.

"It's not worth it or not, it's just for the grace of a drink." Shi Xiuyuan laughed loudly and rode his horse away.
