Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 393 Entering the Grassland

After resting and feeding the horse with grass and water, Xu Qing stepped onto the horse again.Not long after walking, I heard a few cars ahead, but saw four riders approaching, and said: "General Li, the linen has been bought!"

Li Yu nodded and said: "Everyone, take a piece of sackcloth and put it on your body, except for the eyes of the horse, you must also put it on."

Xu Qing took the lead, took a piece, scratched it casually with a knife, and a rectangular piece of cloth came out.Another hole was poked in the middle, and it was directly covered on the head. Here are simple straight-cut clothes.Then he tore off a strip of white cloth and tied it around his waist.From the strips of white cloth, a long linen cloth hangs down to the knees.Xu Qing didn't intend to cut it off.Instead, he tore out some strips of white cloth and covered them directly on the calf.

At the beginning, Xue Rengui saw it and followed Xu Qing's example.After he finished binding the first leg, he cheered and said, "Wow, it feels like the legs are strong after being tied up like this."

When the others saw it, they also learned it.Xu Qing made a hat to cover his armor, and the rest of the cloth to cover the horse.In this way, when Xu Qing was riding a horse, except for his own face, the horse's eyes, and the horse's hooves that were exposed from time to time, everything else was white.

In half an hour, everyone was done.Xu Qing said to them: "By this time tomorrow, we will be in Xue Yantuo's territory. We may be killed at any time. Big guys, think about it now. If you are afraid of death, I will not drag you down. You can go."

Xu Qing's words were resounding, but everyone present chose to remain silent.Xu Qing smiled and said: "Okay, then General Li will tell you the investigation plan."

Li Yu ordered that from now on, everyone should disperse in five-five-one teams to search for the enemy's situation around Baima Mountain. After three days, regardless of whether they have harvested or not, they must go to the slope outside Baima Mountain for rounds.I don't know how Li Yuan made the dragon guards memorize the map, but they all said after hearing it: "Here!"

Then, the crowd dispersed, and a team of five walked towards the depths of the grassland.

Xu Qing, Xue Rengui, Li Yu, and the other five dragon guards made a total of five groups and set off last.Go north all the way, don't enter any villages, don't walk on any road where there may be people.It's just that Li Yu wondered why Xu Qing took out a bamboo tube to look into the distance every time he walked a certain distance and reached a mountain top.When Li Yu asked, Xu Qing said it was a secret, but didn't mention it.

Fortunately, Xu Qing had the reputation of being a forerunner, so everyone changed into white linen.I didn't feel it thirty miles away just now, because the snow on the road had already exposed the yellow soil, but ten miles to the north of Yingzhou, the snow on the road was a foot thick.It may be because there are more pedestrians in the south of Yingzhou, but fewer passers-by in the north.

Stepping on the snow, Xu Qing and his party disappeared into the snow like white ghosts, leaving behind shallow horseshoes and the short-lived sound of horseshoes.

The snow not only hid the traces of the people, but also hid the voices of the people because of the many holes in the snow.Horses couldn't run in the deep snow, and the white cloth prepared by Xu Qing and others played a role in protecting the horse's hooves at this time.Even with protection, Xu Qing and the others led the horse.

In the evening, I swept away the snow and stayed up all night.In the early morning of the next day, Xu Qing suddenly found himself lying in the snow alone, not knowing where the others had gone.

"Fuck, what's going on..." Xu Qing looked around, all his things were still there, but the others were gone, and Xue Rengui was lying on the ground and hadn't woken up yet.Xu Qingyao woke him up, he rubbed his eyes, looked around and said, "Where are Brother Li and the others?"

Xu Qing brought him the horse, found a place, and was about to look around, but saw two guys wearing felt hats and riding prairie horses approaching from a distance.Xue Rengui didn't understand, he pointed and said, "Who is that?"

Xu Qing cursed in his heart, why did he bring this kid and push his head down, but things were not as easy as Xu Qing thought, the two prairie people saw them!
Hearing the sound of horseshoes approaching, Xu Qing said to Xue Rengui in a low voice: "Listen to my slogan later, draw your sword and kill the enemy."

"What? Kill the enemy?"

"That's right, the ones here are from Xue Yantuo, and they will kill Han people if they do anything wrong."

"No, no way, we hide it so..."

Xue Rengui looked at himself, and under the white linen cloth was a horizontal knife in armor. He didn't look like a businessman who came here secretly, a typical spy.He swallowed, frightened.No matter how powerful Xue Rengui is in the future, he is still a 12-year-old boy now.

While thinking about it, the two prairie people were already three or five feet away.The first one was so burly, he pointed at Xu Qing and yelled a lot.Xu Qing's hand was already holding the handle of the gun in his sleeve, and he just waited for the prairie man to get closer.

The person next to him said: "My master asked, who are you? What are you doing in my territory?" This should be the translation, usually the Han people who were captured had learned Turkic, so they acted as the nomadic nobles. translate.

Xue Rengui was impatient, and lied: "We are businessmen, and we sell things on the grassland."

Chirping, quacking, the prairie man said again, and then raised the knife in his hand.Xu Qing held his temper, he really wanted to know what the prairie people said, and if he could take the opportunity to get the location of the account.

The interpreter explained: "You stole my master's horse, and now you are punished to be my slaves, or I will kill you!"

Xu Qing was surprised: "Where did we steal your horse? It's our own."

"Everything on my land is mine," at this moment, the burly man on the prairie spoke blunt Chinese: "You, I want to duel with you!"

Before Xu Qing came back to his senses, the burly man clamped his horse's belly and ran over with a knife.Xu Qing's eyes froze, and he said to Xue Rengui in a low voice, "Go and catch that man behind, and I'll deal with him."

The prairie horse came over like the wind, Xu Qing pushed Xue Rengui away, and used his strength to roll.The prairie man missed a single strike, and was about to turn around and cut again, but Xu Qing decisively drew out his gun, "Bang!", the prairie man was shot in the face, and rolled off his horse on his back.

On the snow, it is red.As for Xue Rengui, he hasn't recovered yet. Although the knife has been pulled out, he is still in place.Xu Qing drank, Xue Rengui looked at Xu Qing, and started crying instead.The interpreter turned his horse's head and was about to run away, when Xu Qing took out the nomadic bow from the prairie man's horse.

Although Xu Qing is not very good at bow and archery, it is not impossible.With the sound of the bowstring, the interpreter fell down and fell on the snow.And the prairie horse didn't leave, and stayed where it was.Xu Qing drew out the knife, ran forward, and knocked him out with a single handle of the knife.

When I returned to Xue Rengui, I saw that he was still wailing, and Xu Qing cursed: "You idiot! Kill that prairie man!"

The prairie man who was shot, still alive, was struggling to get up.
