Chapter 39 The An Brothers
Shuofang!
"Bang" As the bowstring sounded, the sharp arrow immediately turned into a black shadow and drilled into the sparse woods, disappearing without a trace.
An Sishun urged him to search carefully, and found his prey in a bush of thorns, a dying fox.
An Sishun used a knife to split the thorns, repaired the fox and took its life.
An Sishun was a Turkic man with the habit of Turkic man being good at hunting.
I also know the habits of prey very well. Don’t look at the prey being injured, your life is still there. The power of the trapped beast fighting is enough to kill people.
Even if it was a fox, An Sishun didn't want it to die and bit himself.
"Brother, good archery!"
The sound of heavy horse hooves came, and a giant object approached quickly.
A giant thing is a man and a horse.
A man is a rare fat man, unlike an ordinary fat man. His skeleton is huge and his body is fat, making him look like a meat mountain. Any of the three words "high, fat, and brave" can be used on him.
A mount that can carry such a body is naturally not an ordinary person.
The seated treasure horse is a huge black war horse. The strip-like muscles on the slender and strong limbs are like steel bars. The smooth and vibrant skin is bright and bright, and it presents a bright silver light under the sunlight. The black mane that swings in the wind in the strong wind is like thousands of black snakes flying, showing off their domineering behavior.
With a huge body and a huge war horse, this fat man not only lacks the fat man's funny feeling and ugly appearance, but is filled with a domineering majesty.
An Sishun glanced at the visitor and smiled and said, "So many years have passed on my hand to my father's archery skills, but it didn't take any of them. What about you, my brother, your archery skills are the same as before? I remember when I was a child, your archery skills were even more than me... Now?"
An Si looked at the fat body of the visitor with a few jokes.
Meeting an old friend in this foreign land is a great joy in life, not to mention that An Sishun's joy comes from the heart when he meets a brother who has been away for more than ten years.
An Sishun vaguely remembered that back then, his uncle An Yanyan married a Turkic witch who brought a child named Zhalushan.
An Sishun remembered that he had a great time with Zhalushan. The two of them fell, rode horses and arched, and had a deep relationship.
Later, the tribe was destroyed, and An Sishun fled south with his uncle An Yanyan and Zhaluo Mountain, and defected to An Zhenjie, a relative of the same surname.
Along the way, they depended on each other and accumulated deep feelings.
Later, he joined the army and came to the Longyou border defense front line where the Tang Dynasty had been confronting Tubo for a long time: he heard that Zhalushan was ashamed of living with his brother and his later father An Yanyan, and left Shuofang and went on his own, and there was no news after that.
But after many years, he was able to meet this brother who had a deep friendship again, and the other party was the famous Northeast Major General Zhang Kang and the adopted son of Zhang Shou, the Bians General.
Zhang Kang raised his head and said, "Naturally, as an eagle on the grassland, how can the distinguished family skills fall?"
He smiled slightly, bent his hard bow and took an iron arrow, moved his fat body, looked around, and saw a group of geese flying through the air. With a whoosh, the arrow was like lightning, passing through the leading geese and passing through directly.
The geese lost their leader and scattered in a hurry.
An Sishun raised his thumb and said, "Good arrow technique, the name of Young Marshal Zhang is worthless."
Zhang Kang shook his head and said, "Don't call it Zhang Shaoshuai. I don't like this name. It was my adoptive father who forced me to change it. After so many years, I still miss the days we were on the Turkic grassland. I gave myself a name, An Lushan. We are brothers, just like the lambs of our compatriots, and naturally we have a surname."
When An Sishun heard the three words "An Lushan", he suddenly felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. However, seeing Zhang Kang easily changed his name, he felt a sense of disgust in his heart, and he realized that things had changed. After more than ten years of change, the pure friendship in his youth had long disappeared.
An Lushan has been living under someone else since childhood. He is extremely talented. He is not only familiar with the language of the six countries, but also has the talent of observing words and expressions. Seeing An Sishun's expression strange, he sighed and said, "Even now, brother, I still remember the scene of my uncle's death!"
An Sisun's eyes blurred:
The shrill and howling cold wind, the clean and transparent blue sky, and the vast and boundless earth.
There is their hometown, the grasslands of the Western Regions.
It is also the place his father yearns for the most in his life...
When he was young, he once asked his father: "Dad, the Western Regions are our home, why don't we go back and live in the south of the desert."
My father's words are still in my ears: "An Sishun, remember. What the emperor of the Celestial Empire least wants is that another great hero in our clan who stands tall and upright like Maodun and Jie Li Khan in the past..."
An Sishun remembered that his father's voice was low and melancholy, his forehead was covered with wrinkles, as if carved from a knife, and his eyes revealed a man who was always wild and untamed.
An Sishun put away his thoughts and smiled and said, "I remember, but I don't think my father is wrong, nor do I think he is right. Where is the home in my heart? A hundred years ago, the clan members lived in Anguo, the Western Regions, and a hundred years later, the clan members settled on the Shuofang grassland. A hundred years ago, I didn't know how they were doing, but now the clan members live well. They have no worries about food and clothing, can learn martial arts and literature. Why do you have to ruin everything that is great for the sake of the illusory homeland? Brothers, although the grassland is big, it may not be suitable for us."
An Lushan laughed and said, "Brother said that no matter how high the eagle flies, there will be a day when it will be broken. It's getting late, and I'm back. I'm really happy to be able to meet with my brother today."
He waved his hand and the personal guards in the distance came, and a group of cavalry rode away, leaving neatly.
An Sishun held the strong bow in his hand tightly, pressed the urge to shoot at the wide vest with an arrow, raised the reins, and rode the horse to join his guards.
"Yuangui, you prepare. I want to come to Beijing to meet the saint. Zhang Kang had a rebellious intention and must tell the court!"
An Sishun had a dark face and said something shocking to his confidant Zhang Yuangui.
After hearing this, Zhang Yuangui almost fell off the horse's back and shouted in a low voice: "Jiedu, is this a big deal?"
An Sishun said: "I initially thought Zhang Kang came to save Zhang Shou, but he never mentioned Zhang Shou who was under house arrest in Chang'an. Instead, he changed his name to call me brothers. As his adopted son, he was so cold that he was so cold that he was so ugly that he was a jackal. He failed to test and left immediately, obviously because he was afraid that I would force him to stay and be a thief. Now Pei Xiang is in the Western Regions, and once there is chaos in Liaodong, our dynasty is worried. The court must let the court know about this and be prepared."
