At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 267 Good place

The first priority at present is to determine the location of the racecourse, so on the tenth day after Gao Bufan took office, that is, on September [-]th of the eighth year of Daye, he left with only Brother Gao Shixiong and Brother Gaoshou. After leaving Ji County, head north to Yuyi Town marked on the map.

Five people and five horses, with a total of only ten days of dry food, rode lightly on fast horses and traveled northward. It took only half a day to leave Juyongguan, and then continued to drive for five days, and finally arrived at the place marked on the map. Yuyi Town is near.

The reason why it took so many days was not because of the distance, but because the road was too difficult to walk. To the north of Zhuojun was the Yanshan Mountains, and to the west was the Taihang Mountains. After leaving Juyong Pass, it was basically a barren land beyond the Great Wall.

Since the uprising in the six towns in the north in the fourth year of Zhengguang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the nine major military towns in the north that relied on domestic blood transfusions have all been abandoned, and the regime of the Northern Wei Dynasty has also collapsed. The ruler also felt that it was not cost-effective to rebuild the Northern Army Town, so he gave up completely. Until the Sui Dynasty, these places were still deserted, and Yuyi Town, which was rich in water and grass, became a grazing place for the Xi people. The official road built in the town will naturally disappear. The self-healing ability of nature is beyond your imagination. Even the modern cement road will basically return to its original state if no one walks it for more than ten years. These dirt roads will become overgrown with brambles within a few years, making it difficult to move an inch.

So even though Gao Bufan had a map in his hand, it still took six days to reach the vicinity of Yuyi Town, and he actually traveled about [-] kilometers.

It is already late autumn, and due to the northerly latitude, the temperature in the morning and evening is already below ten degrees. The trees along the way are withered and yellow, the grass is gone, the frosty leaves are red, and the distant mountains and near the water are like an overturned palette. , a scene of early winter.

"Boss Changqing, what do you think that thing is?" Gao Shixiong suddenly pointed in front of him and said loudly.

Gao Bufan reined in his horse and stared at it, only to see a solitary strange building on top of a bare black rock mountain, it was definitely not used to live in people, because this thing can't live in people at all.

"It should be Yandun, used by the beacon fire to send messages." Gao Bufan looked at it for a moment before saying.

Everyone rode their horses and continued to move forward. When they came to the foot of Heishi Mountain, they found a section of rammed earth wall that had been badly weathered among the grass. .

Gao Ren gave a thumbs up and praised: "Young Master Bufan is really well-informed. The thing erected on the mountain must be the smoke pier. Hehe, this is what the princes of Zhou Youwang's Fenghuo Opera used."

"Hey, the sophomore in high school is quite knowledgeable. He actually knows about King You of Zhou's Fenghuo opera." Gao Shiheng said.

Gao Ren said proudly: "It's so-so, at least the young one has served the young master for so many years, and he has learned a little bit."

Gao Shiheng rolled his eyes: "Hey, I said Gao Er Er, I said that you are fat and panting, and if I give you two points of color, don't you want to open a dyeing workshop?"

"Don't dare, Erlang, can you stop calling the little Gao Er Er, listen to me!" Gao Ren suggested politely.

"Why do you respond? What's wrong with the second child? I'm also the second child, and I think the second child is pretty good." Gao Shiheng asked puzzled.

Gao Shou explained with a "shameful smile": "Master Bufan said that a man has two heads, the upper one is called the big head, which is the eldest, and the lower one is the small head, which is the second."

Gao Shiheng was stunned for a moment, then patted his big head and lost his voice: "There is still such a saying, whoever will be called my second child in the future, I will beat him so hard that he doesn't even recognize his mother." Raising his fist, the taste of threat is very strong.

Gao Shixiong curled his lips and said, "Second brother, you must know that my father is your father, and my mother is your mother."

"Grandma, then beat me so badly that my mother won't even recognize you." Gao Shiheng was furious, raised his mace and was about to start a fight.

Gao Shiheng shouted: "If you have the guts, don't run away!"

Gao Shixiong turned his head and smiled: "Don't chase if you have the kind."

Then Gao Shixiong continued to escape, and Gao Shiheng continued to chase, so the two brothers became helpless. If their old man Gao Shiqing heard it here, his nose would be crooked.

Gao Shou and Gao Ren laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, and it was no big deal to watch the excitement, cheering and cheering, while riding their horses to catch up.Gao Bufan smiled, followed by two pairs of live treasures, although sometimes the ears are dirty, but there is no need to worry about being bored when driving, especially in this kind of wilderness where there are no ghosts around. when.

Huh, what is that?

Only then did Gao Bufan think of the word "birds don't shit", but saw several black shadows circling under the blue sky in the north, so he stared and vaguely recognized five or six vultures, and couldn't help but frown. Vultures like to eat carrion, and their eyesight and sense of smell are very sensitive, so once this thing appears, it must be a good thing. Now that five or six vultures appear at the same time, it is estimated that they have found a lot of "food".

Gao Bufan looked back and found that Gao Shixiong and others had already run a long way, so he lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the big green horse let go of its slender hooves and trotted after it.

They continued to go northward for a certain distance, but saw that the mountains were gradually becoming flatter, surrounded by low black rock mountains, and there was a clear stream flowing in the valley, and there were some meadows on both sides of the stream, although it was already yellowing now , but still can imagine the green grass in spring and summer.

After traveling north for a few miles, the terrain in front of me suddenly opened up, but I saw a vast expanse of grassland stretching to the end of my line of sight. The sky was so blue that I felt relaxed and happy, and the white clouds were like cotton wool, as if I could touch it.

Everyone was stunned, and the big green horse let out a long and joyful howl, and then spread its four hooves and galloped ecstatically. This place undoubtedly belonged to its world!

It was the first time that Gao Bufan saw Qingyun so excited, so he let him let go of his speed and run, so Qingyun was really like a blue cloud floating across the vast grassland, only a black spot remained in the blink of an eye.

"Boss Changqing, wait for us!" The two brothers Gao Shixiong yelled, whipped his whip and chased after him vigorously. Gao Shou and Gao Ren hurriedly beat their horses to catch up with them.

The five horses alternated front and back, galloping on the endless grassland, but Qingyun's foot strength was naturally not comparable to the other four horses, so he quickly left the others far behind. Fortunately, Qingyun had a good time, and finally slowed down Slowly slowed down, and finally stopped beside a lake, greedily gnawing on the green aquatic plants by the lake.

It is estimated that it is close to the water source. Within a few meters near the lake, the aquatic plants are still green. Against the background of the yellowed aquatic plants around, it is like a green emerald embedded in the grass. It is so beautiful!

Gao Bufan couldn't help sighing: "This is really a good place to raise horses!"

　On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish all book friends an auspicious Year of the Tiger and all the best.I'm very busy today, I took time to catch up with half a chapter, just make do with it, sorry!
