Chapter 73: A Chance Encounter on the Prairie
Chilechuan, under Yinshan,
The sky is like a dome, covering all fields.
The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast,
Cattle and sheep will be seen when the wind blows the grass.
A song of "Chi Le Song" shows the scene that Luo Shixin encountered at this moment.
After making full preparations, Luo Shixin and Pei Qingyi took a middle-aged man named Qi Hua on a journey to find people for two days.
In order to facilitate behavior, Luo Shixin and Pei Qingyi pretended to be a young Turkic couple, while Qi Hua was their eldest brother. Because his mother was seriously ill at home, he went to Taibai Mountain to seek medical treatment. At first, Luo Shixin thought of directly asking Goguryeo to help in the name of Li Tang. Later, after thinking about it carefully, he gave up. Silla is nothing, the key is Goguryeo.
When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo three times and destroyed the small Northeast countries with a hundred times force. Although he did not achieve any substantial results, he also allowed the other party to occupy a part of Liaodong, the actual losses were not something that Goguryeo could forget. According to reliable information, Goguryeo had already planned to build a thousand-mile Great Wall in Liaodong to prevent the Central Plains from regaining their territory. This hostility was obvious. At the same time, they had deep transactions with the Turks, and like allies, they used the technology they learned from the Central Plains to expand the Turks' arms.
If the news spreads, Goguryeo is affected by the feud, and the Turks fan the flames and obstruct them behind their backs, the possibility of finding Sun Simiao is even more slim.
He simply pretended to be a Turkic person and took advantage of the convenience of friendship between Turkic and Goguryeo to find out the whereabouts of Sun Simiao.
The three of them quietly passed through the territory of Gaokaidao. After leaving Youzhou, Luo Shixin felt a very different scene from the Central Plains.
The magnificence of the grassland is all the time. The herdsmen drive hundreds of cattle and sheep to stock on the grassland, singing in love, which makes people fascinate.
Luo Shixin said: "I have seen many beautiful scenery in the Central Plains, and I have a completely different feeling when I see the magnificence of this grassland."
Even Pei Qingyi, who was worried about Pingyang all the way, had an unspeakable feeling from the bottom of her heart. She let go of her worries for the time being: "I didn't expect that the grassland would have such a beautiful scenery. If I had the chance, I would definitely come back and browse it carefully."
Luo Shixin said: "I don't know you, but I will definitely come. This land belongs to me from the Han people. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Yan State has established a foothold here. Now due to the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, my borders on China have fallen into the hands of foreign races. As a Chinese man, there is no reason not to get it back."
Pei Qingyi snorted, "General, don't underestimate our daughter's house. If you go to the battlefield, we can do it. It's better to ask the barbarians from the frontier to see my Pei Qingyi's two swords."
The two of them said as they walked, they could not do anything.
Qi Hua, who had been rushing to the road, suddenly said: "The front is the border of Liaodong, which is the territory of Goguryeo. The people of Goguryeo occupied the city and made a living by fishing and hunting. Their territorial awareness is extremely serious. If they hear the territory of the Han people in the Central Plains in Liaodong, 80% will make them draw their swords at each other, which will be very detrimental to our purpose."
Luo Shixin was not in a mess, but he knew the importance of it. He stopped talking, but just thought to himself: "When you destroy Goguryeo in the future, you will see that they will still be rampant."
Luo Shixin also expressed his gratitude for Qi Hua's reminder: I have to admit that Li Yi is quite capable of doing things, and he has found several guides and is very capable. He is very familiar with Goguryeo and Silla's national conditions and often talks about some small details to let them pay attention to.
At first, Pei Qingyi questioned a little: she was biased against Li Yi and felt that the person Li Yi was looking for might be unreliable.
Luo Shixin felt that Li Yi was a little scheming and often did some stupid things, but he was definitely not really stupid to be able to survive to this point. He was just accustomed to being arrogant and favored to suppress others with power in his work. However, his luck was not good, and he encountered Luo Shixin, who liked to break the power with force, and suffered many losses.
If someone else had asked Li Yi to design this way in the tavern, he would probably have imposed a crime of collusion with enemies. He would be punished first.
Li Yi wouldn't be stupid enough to trick them into the guide, because the guide was not the one who tricked them, but Princess Pingyang.
Sure enough, the performance of the veteran Taoist Qi Hua made Luo Shixin really correct his judgment, and even Pei Qingyi canceled his doubts about Qi Hua.
Luo Shixin and Pei Qingyi no longer talked about these sensitive topics, but talked about martial arts.
Pei Qingyi passed by the bearded guest and the two legendary figures of Hongfu Nu taught by words and deeds, and his martial arts theory was extremely solid.
Luo Shixin's martial arts mostly come from inheritance, and theory is his weakness. Speaking of this, he is far from being a rival to Pei Qingyi. Several relative arguments ended in a big defeat, which benefited him a lot, and many things that were puzzled suddenly became clear.
Pei Qingyi was not completely unearthed. Luo Shixin was also a top student who graduated from college and had some research on the principles of mechanics. The basic thing about martial arts is to use force, how to use force, and how to use force effectively. I believe that even a bearded guest, Hong Funnun does not have any experience in this regard. I can reveal a few moves casually, so that Pei Qingyi can think about it for a while.
Luo Shixin suddenly grabbed the reins and turned his head to look back: smoke and dust rolling behind him, and there were signs of a group of riders galloping.
However, more than fifty knights appeared in Luo Shixin's sight for a moment, and they rode a horse and chased a thin young man in a black robe.
"…………………………………” The burly man who was chasing the tightest, raised his long sword and shouted loudly.
Because he spoke Turkic language, Luo Shixin didn't know what he said.
"Don't run away... Yi Nan, do you run away like a rabbit? Your tribe members are dead, you should die in the end like your tribe members, instead of giving them shame!"
Qi Hua quickly performed the translation task and translated the words to Luo Shixin.
"Yi Nan!" Luo Shixin suddenly remembered that he had heard of this name from Li Shimin. When he used Li Shimin's method to deal with the Turks, he heard Li Shimin say that Xue Yantuo's leader was named Yi Nan. Could it be the same person?
A powerful arrow penetrated the shoulders of the thin young man. The thin young man broke the tail of the arrow rudely, turned around and sounded the bowstrings, and shot down two Turkic soldiers.
"If this continues, you will be caught up sooner or later! Should we withdraw or rescue?" Pei Qingyi looked at Luo Shixin's idea of taking action and asked.
"If this Yi Nan is the one whom Yi Nan knows, it should be saved. No matter what, save it!"
Luo Shixin's eyes were full of murderous aura. Even if he wasn't the barbarian, killing a few Turkic dogs would not be a loss.
"Brother Qi, you hide first! Let's go back!"
Luo Shixin rushed up with confidence, Pei Qingyi followed closely, and his two swords were still unsheathed.
Chapter completed!
