The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 406 390 Nine: The Caravan Is Difficult to Travel to the North Sea ([-])
The two of them followed Yelu Hengtong and Yelu Hengxing into the room, and within a short time, the two maids brought up a large pot of cooked beef.

Yelusi took out two jars of wine from the inner room, and said with a smile: "Wuji! Tie Niu, sit down quickly, I will give you a farewell party with wine tonight, I wish you a smooth business and a lot of money!

I wish you all the best for your trip to the North Sea.

Come, come, come, I don't have anything good to eat at home, only this big pot of beef, come on, let's eat and drink! "

Yelusi poured wine for all the people, and several people sat at the table and ate and drank!

The time is not too long, and people are full.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu stood up.

"Master Yelv Sidu, the three elder brothers, we're going back to rest, you guys should rest."

After finishing speaking, the two retreated from the main room, and when they came to the yard, they saw twenty guards standing guard on duty!
Duan Wuji smiled and said: "You should pay more attention! Once you find something, you should immediately shout loudly, and when we hear the shout, we will rush out."

"I know, I know, Mr. Duan, don't worry, it's fine.

Look how cold it is outside!You two should hurry back to the house and go to rest. "

"Well, then you are busy."

After speaking, the two walked into the house.

The next morning, the owner of the fifteen cars that had paid the bill drove away early.

The rest of the people also got up, and everyone had some activities in the yard. The owner of the car drank the horse, and then put the car on.

Before long, the maid brought out a large pot of steaming beef.

People ate a full meal until people were full.

Yelu Hengtong said loudly: "Brothers, let's go, let's set off immediately.

Today I lead the team, you all have to keep up!

Second brother, drive the car and follow behind, and the rest of the people will follow! "

After finishing speaking, Yelu Hengtong took off the reins of the horse, got on the horse, and took the lead to walk outside. Yelu Hengtong followed closely behind, driving the carriage and pulling the tent.

Under the protection of the guards, the convoy of the brigade also rushed out.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu, their five brothers, also rode on horseback and followed closely behind the team.

When we came to the outside of Qingcaotan, four or five Turkic people rushed over a group of fat cattle. There were about 20 cattle in this group.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Tie them all to the back of the car with a rope.

With the cattle tied up, we're on our way right away. "

Everyone started to move at will, and in a short while, these cows were all tied behind the carriage.

This team headed north all the way, heading straight for the so-called Beihai direction!

The further north we went, the snow on the grassland became thicker and thicker, and the road became more and more difficult to walk.

At the beginning, I could occasionally see two groups of herdsmen grazing. The further north I went, the fewer and fewer people were grazing.

Sometimes you walk forty or fifty miles, and you can't meet one or two herdsmen!

Not to mention the bitterness in it.

However, in order to make money, what can I do!

It takes nearly a day for people to walk!

It was not until all the horses were too tired to walk that the team stopped moving forward.

At this time, the sun is only one hour away from setting.

When Yelu Hengtong saw it, he shouted loudly: "We will spend the night here tonight.

Second brother, hurry up and set up the tent, or it will be too late. "

Yelu Hengxing looked at the guards and said, "Put the horses aside to graze.

Come and give me a hand, or we're going to freeze to death here tonight. "

After hearing this, the guards immediately started to act, and under the command of Yelu Hengxing, people began to set up tents.

Sure enough, the time was not long, and two huge tents were set up.

Yelu Hengtong said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, let's slaughter the cow quickly, we can roast the beef after slaughtering the cow!

Let's take a rest when we are full!This day is tiring enough. "

Duan Wuji said to the brothers next to him: "Did you see that? There are dry branches on the hillside over there. Hurry up and chop them off and bring them here. We can eat roast beef later!"

Brother Changqing, you lead the team and act quickly.

The more dry wood you chop, the better!There are too many cuts, and we can still have a fire in our tent tonight!Then we won't have to suffer tonight. "

After hearing this, several people immediately started to act, and they all ran to the hillside to cut dead branches.

Duan Wuji brought a fat head over and said with a smile: "Brother Yelu, there is no need to slaughter this cow!

Isn't that too troublesome? "

"Ah? If you don't slaughter it, how can you kill it?

Do you still want to eat this cow alive? "

Duan Wuji walked over to the cow, raised his palm suddenly, and "slapped" the cow's head with a slap.

With just one slap, the cow fell to the ground in response, and immediately lost its breath as soon as it kicked its legs.

Yelu Hengtong saw it and said with a smile: "Brother, you are so amazing!

With just one palm, you killed the cow.

How much palm power is this?

It seems that Shi Farewell for three days, you must look at it with admiration! "

Duan Wuji smiled lightly.

"Brother Yelu, what's the matter? Isn't it just killing a cow?
As for that!
Brother Yelu, you are familiar with dissecting cattle, so you should do this job! "

"Okay, no problem. Leave it alone."

Yelu found three big stones and immediately set up the pot.

Then the snow was collected from the surrounding ground and gently put into the cauldron.

This snow has collected a whole big pot!

In a short time, people carried the dry firewood back in a steady stream.

Yelu Hengxing first set up a fire and started to boil water. After the big pot of snow had melted, there was not even half of the pot of water left!

The people around who had nothing to do immediately put snow into the pot. They didn't put snow into the pot until the water in the pot was completely full.

Yelu rampantly burned the fire, and the water boiled within a short time.

More and more dry firewood was obtained, and after a while, the dry firewood obtained was piled up like a mountain.

Yelu Hengtong wrapped the cowhide, took out the internal organs and put it aside.

Then straightened up.

"Brothers, the beef is ready. Let's light the fire and roast the beef. Let's rest when we're full!"

After hearing this, everyone started to act immediately, those who lit the fire, those who cut the beef cut the beef, and in a short while, three piles of bonfires were lit.

People pulled out their swords, put the cut beef on the swords and started grilling.

Not long after, a strong aroma of barbecue wafted out.

The chariot driver didn't have a sword to use, so he had to eat meat from someone else's sword.

Fortunately, there is enough beef, and the time is not too long, so everyone will be full.

Yelu Hengtong pointed to the leftover beef on the ground and said, "Let's carry it to the tent! Let's roast it tomorrow morning!"

More than a dozen guards immediately started to act, and carried the remaining beef into the tent with cowhide.

Yelu Hengtong drew out his scimitar, chopped up the heart, liver and lungs of the cow with the scimitar, put them into the pot, and then put a handful of salt into the pot.

The time is not too long, and a pot of fragrant beef offal soup is ready.

When Duan Wuji saw it, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, hurry up and get the bowls, drink the offal soup quickly! It's too cold to drink.

Once we're full, we'll have nothing to do. "

After hearing this, everyone started to act immediately. They took out their own bowls from the car, filled the soup with spoons and began to drink.

Not to mention, after eating the beef just now, people were already thirsty. Everyone filled the beef offal soup and drank it on their own.

In a short time, a large pot of soup was finished.

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "There's nothing else going on now, this place is deserted and there probably won't be many people.

Let's divide the night watch team into five shifts, so that if everyone takes turns to watch the night, people can rest for a while.

Pay attention to the staff on duty, if you find anything, please call the people in our tent!

When the people in our tent saw the shout, they rushed out immediately, no one should be shy!

Brother Tieniu, come on duty in groups. "

Yelu Hengtong laughed and said, "Brother, although there are few people in this place, there are many beasts!

Since it is the prairie wolf, there are countless of them! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "If the prairie wolf comes, let's kill dozens of them, so we don't have to slaughter beef."

Saying that, Duan Wuji stepped into the tent.

The off-duty guards came in with dry firewood from the outside, and lit a fire at the front of the tent. After a while, the whole tent was warm.

Nothing happened overnight, the next morning, people got up early, everyone lit the fire again, and filled the cauldron with snow, then, those who boiled water boiled water, and those who put snow in the pot put snow.

People lit the fire again and began to grill the beef again.

When people were full, they scooped hot water from the cauldron to drink, and waited for people to drink enough water.

Everyone began to dismantle the tents in a frantic manner. After everything was cleaned up, people put on their cars and started on the road again.
