step on mountains and rivers

After Jiang Ling finished speaking, Li Zhenwu had already warmed up the steamed buns. He handed one to Tang Qingfeng. After Tang Qingfeng took the steamed buns, he took a bite and said:

"Very fragrant."

Li Zhenwu smiled lightly, and then handed another steamed bun to Aaron beside Tang Qingfeng.

Seeing that Tang Qingfeng ate deliciously, Aaron swallowed involuntarily, took the steamed buns handed over by Li Zhenwu, and bit down. The steamed buns were extraordinarily sweet, and he ate like a wolf.

Tang Qingfeng glanced at Aaron, tore the steamed bun in his hand in half, and handed half to Li Zhenwu.

Li Zhenwu took the steamed buns and started to eat them slowly. When Tang Qingfeng saw it, he turned his head to look at Aaron and said:

"Aaron, is this house your home? Where are your parents?"

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, Aaron also finished eating the steamed buns. He wiped his mouth and said:

"No, my parents were killed by Turkic people two years ago. I escaped here. I didn't expect it to be the same here."

Listening to his words, Tang Qingfeng seemed to think of something, so he didn't continue to ask.

Seeing that Tang Qingfeng was silent, Li Zhenwu asked:

"Aaron, who is the Yanbei King you mentioned earlier?"

"King Yanbei?" Jiang Ling heard Li Zhenwu's words, looked at Aaron suspiciously, but heard Tang Qingfeng say:

"The King of Yanbei, Li Xuan, is a descendant of the Tang Dynasty. He is powerful in force and proficient in the art of war. By the order of the Holy Emperor,

He led the army to garrison Yanbei for many years, defeated the Turks dozens of times, and even killed many famous Turkic generals.

Yanbei's army is invincible and unstoppable. Wherever the army goes, the enemy flees.Because of this, the King of Yanbei became famous and became famous all over the imperial capital. "

"So powerful!" Jiang Ling questioned.

"Of course, King Yanbei is the most powerful person in Yanbei, and Yanbei's army is also the most powerful soldier in Yanbei!" Aaron said proudly.

Jiang Ling looked at him and said, "Really, he is so powerful, how come there are Turkic soldiers coming to rob this town?"

Aaron gave Jiang Ling a white look and said:

"Lord Yanbei King is already very busy fighting on the front line, how can he care about the harassment of these small groups of Turkic soldiers." Aaron said.

"Oh, you really know how to excuse him. It seems that you admire him very much." Jiang Ling said.

"Of course! Wait another five years, when I'm 15 years old, I'll join the army under his command and guard Yanbei!" Aaron said.

"Good boy, have ambition!" Jiang Ling said.

"That's right, if a man defends his home and country, he won't regret it even if he shrouds himself in horse leather!" Aaron said.

"Well said!" Jiang Ling said.

"That's natural, it's what Lord Yanbei Wang said." Aaron said.

"From this point of view, King Yanbei is indeed a man of righteousness." Li Zhenwu said.

"Well, yes, Brother Daochang." Aaron said, and he unconsciously looked at the little bun left in Li Zhenwu's hand.

Seeing him staring at the steamed buns, Tang Qingfeng asked, "Are you full?"

"I'm full." Aaron avoided Tang Qingfeng's gaze.

Li Zhenwu looked at the pieces of steamed buns in his hand, and was thinking of baking two more buns for Aaron. Seeing that Lu Qing handed the baked buns to Aaron, he said:

"Eat, how can you protect your home and country if you don't eat enough?"

Aaron looked at him, took the steamed buns, and ate them.

Seeing that he ate it, Lu Qing handed the remaining steamed bun to Jiang Ling. Seeing that he hadn't eaten, Jiang Ling pushed it back. Seeing Jiang Ling push it back, Lu Qing picked up the steamed bun, broke a corner, and handed the rest gave him:

"Eat."

Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing, took the steamed bun and ate it.

Li Zhenwu saw that Aaron was eating in a hurry, thinking that he might not be full yet, so he and Lu Qing took a few more steamed buns and baked them.

After they ate the food, they spread the blankets on the ground and lay down one by one. Aaron slept in the middle, and Jiang Ling and Tang Qingfeng slept on the sides.

Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu in front of him and said:

"Zhenwu, go to sleep."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu replied.

After the two finished speaking, they closed their eyes.

It snowed heavily all night, Tang Qingfeng woke up in the morning, opened his eyes, and saw a foot-high snow piled up at the hole in the corner of the wall, and was about to get up to check the situation outside the door, but woke up the person in front of him.

"Brother Tang." Li Zhenwu said softly.

"Zhenwu, you're awake." Tang Qingfeng asked softly.

"Yes." Li Zhenwu replied.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the hole, and then said:

"The snow is a bit thick, so don't practice today."

After listening to Tang Qingfeng's words, Li Zhenwu raised his head slightly, looked at the one-foot-thick snow, was a little surprised, and nodded.

Tang Qingfeng saw him nodding, and then said:

"I'm going out to get something to eat."

After speaking, he got up gently, covered Li Zhenwu with the blanket, then turned and walked out the door.

Seeing him get up, Li Zhenwu looked at the firewood. The firewood had been burning all night, and there was only a little spark left at this time.

He glanced at the snow in the corner, then stood up gently, picked up the dry wood in the house, and rekindled the fire.

After the fire was ignited, a wave of warmth emanated from the flames, warming the sleeping person.He looked at the three of them, then sat back on the ground and closed his eyes.

When Tang Qingfeng went out, the snow had stopped.He stepped on the one-foot-deep snow with his boots on, led the horse to a shelter from the wind, took some dry food and walked back.

On the way back, he glanced around and saw green smoke rising from some houses.

He glanced at Qingyan, then turned and walked towards the house.

Li Zhenwu was meditating, and when he heard Tang Qingfeng's footsteps, he got up to meet him.

As soon as Tang Qingfeng arrived outside the house, he saw Li Zhenwu waiting at the door, so he walked towards him with a smile.

When he got close, Tang Qingfeng looked at the burning fire and said softly:

"Zhenwu, got up and sat quietly?"

"Yes." Li Zhenwu nodded.

Tang Qingfeng smiled, pulled him back to sit by the fire, and put the water and food in his hand beside the fire to warm them up.

At this moment, Jiang Ling woke up from his sleep. He looked at Lu Qing beside him, and then stood up carefully, but still alarmed Lu Qing.Lu Qing opened his eyes, saw that the sky was bright, and asked Jiang Ling:

"What time is it?"

Jiang Ling looked at the sky and replied, "It should be Maoshi."

Lu Qing nodded, got up slowly, and sat beside the fire with Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling looked at the snow in the corner of the wall and sighed, "It's a lot of snow."

His voice woke up Aaron who was sleeping. Aaron looked at the sky and said doubtfully:

"Huh? Is it dawn?"

"Yes." Li Zhenwu replied.

Aaron thought for a while and said:

"It's really strange. Turkic people come every night on weekdays. Why didn't they come last night?"

"Maybe it's because the snow is too heavy." Lu Qing said.

Aaron looked at Xue, then nodded, agreeing with Lu Qing's statement.

He was about to get out of the blanket, but was forced back by the biting cold.

Seeing his movements, Li Zhenwu took off the cloak on his body and handed it to Aaron, saying:

"Put it on, it's getting cold."

Aaron was about to take Li Zhenwu's cloak, but Tang Qingfeng pushed Li Zhenwu's hand back, then took off his cloak, handed it over and said:

"Mine are thicker."

Aaron took Tang Qingfeng's cloak, wrapped it around his body, and then walked out of the blanket.

Everyone was about to have breakfast, but they heard a sound of horseshoes coming from the entrance of the town.

"Someone is coming." Jiang Ling said

"A lot have come." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Who is it?" Lu Qing asked.

"The sound of hoofbeats is mixed with the sound of fine iron colliding. It should be a team of armor, but I don't know where it is." Li Zhenwu said.

"Go out and have a look." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." Li Zhenwu nodded, looked at Jiang Ling and Lu Qing and said:

"You guys have breakfast first, Brother Tang and I will go and have a look."

"Okay." The two nodded.

Li Zhenwu looked at Aaron and said: "Aaron, you and your two brothers have breakfast, we will be back later."

"Okay." Aaron replied.

After Li Zhenwu finished speaking, he followed Tang Qingfeng and walked out the door.

The two walked out of the door, looked from a distance, and saw a large group of Turkic soldiers breaking into the town, the leader was quite similar to the one who blocked the road yesterday.The difference was that behind him was a guard holding a ferocious wolf banner.

He rushed into the town with a team of people, and then shouted:

"I know you are all here, don't hide, I have already surrounded the town, you can't escape. Come out! Otherwise, don't blame me for killing people!"

The people in the town heard the shout and slowly walked out of the house.

Seeing the townspeople walk out, the man immediately said:

"You guys! Who killed my second brother Ashina Bear!"

Everyone fell silent after hearing his words.

He looked at the townspeople, and then said: "Don't say yes! Then I will choose randomly!"

As he said that, he pointed to a young man who seemed to have practiced martial arts and said, "That's him, come here, drag him out and kill him!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, three Turkic soldiers jumped off their horses with big knives and walked towards the young man fiercely.

When the townspeople saw the Turkic soldiers approaching, they retreated one after another, leaving only the young man to face it alone.

The young man looked at the Turkic soldiers who came to kill him and said angrily:

"Ashina Neng, you won't be running rampant for long, King Yanbei will come to deal with you soon!"

Ashina glanced at the young man and said contemptuously:

"Hmph, King Yanbei, by the time he comes, you will already be a dead bone!"

As he spoke, he waved his knife, and the Turkic soldiers quickly rushed towards the young man.

Seeing three Turkic soldiers rushing forward, the young man resisted with all his strength, and killed the three Turkic soldiers one by one after being cut on his arms and thighs.

Seeing that he was able to kill three people, Ashina looked at him with admiration and said:

"Good work, let me, Ashina, come and experience it!"

As he said that, a saber slashed towards the young man, and the young man raised his long stick to block it, but the long stick was cut off with a single blow, and the young man died on the spot.

Ashina glanced at the corpse and said, "That's all!"

Then he glanced at the crowd again and said, "How is it?! Say it or not?! If you don't say it, I'm going to start recruiting people!"

Seeing no response from the crowd, he glanced at them and was about to roll their names, but was stopped by a voice:

"No need to click, man, I killed it!"

Ashina was able to follow the sound, and the crowd moved aside one after another, only to see a handsome young man in indigo clothes standing standing with a dark blue folding fan in his hand.Behind him was a handsome young man in a black Taoist robe.

Ashina looked at Tang Qingfeng, saw that he was dressed gorgeously, and thought to himself that he might be the son of some important family, and it would be better not to kill him lightly, so he said disdainfully:

"Did you kill him? My second brother is very powerful in force, and you can kill him with your weak little boy? Get out of here, and don't delay my business."

"I said, man, I killed him. He died by piercing his throat, right?" Tang Qingfeng said while shaking his folding fan.

Ashina listened to Tang Qingfeng's words, looked at him cautiously and asked:

"It's really you?"

Tang Qingfeng glanced at him and said:

"Don't believe me? Try it?"

"Since you are looking for death, you can't blame me! Come on!" Seeing what he said, Ashina rushed up with the Turkic soldiers.

Seeing him rushing forward, Tang Qingfeng jumped up and stabbed at Ashina with a fan.The fan came with a gust of wind. Seeing how fierce his attack was, Ashina immediately raised his sword to block it, but was blown away by Tang Qingfeng, fell from the horse's back, and fell heavily on the snow in the distance above.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, struggled to get up, and looked at Tang Qingfeng with horror in his eyes. 'This man is too strong. I am no match for him. In front of him, I am not even as good as an ant.No, I want to run away, so run away before he catches up!Otherwise, I will definitely be killed by him! '

Ashina could think about it, and hurriedly turned around to leave, only to see Tang Qingfeng dodge suddenly, an afterimage flashed past, and the fan blade pierced out from the heart.Ashina could watch the fan blade slowly withdraw, and fell down in the snow in disbelief.

Tang Qingfeng took out his fan, shook off the blood, looked at the corpse on the ground, then turned and walked back.
