The sound of horse hooves, at least ten riders, came from the wind.

Liang Xiao did not yell, nor even rush to call the people in the tent.

Since they have to travel thousands of miles to seek wealth and honor, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later. He has told them that now that the wolf is really here, he wants to see if these people are alert enough and can react in time. If they are hacked to death in their sleep, they will definitely not be able to get to the Great Yuezhi. It is better to die now, at least closer to their hometown.

Liang Xiao took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, repeating it three times.

Tu Niuer's snoring stopped abruptly. He opened the big bull's eyes and looked around motionlessly. He saw Liang Xiao's shiny eyes.

"A Xiao?"

Liang Xiao raised a finger, blocked his mouth, and pointed to the direction of the enemy. Tu Niuer understood and quietly turned over, pulled out the sword, rolled the blanket into a line, and held it tightly in his hand. Liang Xiao also climbed up, touched the bow on the ground, put the strings on it, pulled Tu Niuer, bent over, quietly sneaked into the grass beside him, squatted down, waited quietly, and listened.

The horse's hooves in the distance were getting closer and closer. With a "whistle" sound, Li Shuyun came out naked, pulling the Hun woman with her left hand and a sword with her right hand. He looked around and pushed her hand. The Hun woman actually understood, holding her clothes, hunched her waist, and ran towards her tent. Her butt, like a millstone, was like a full moon, particularly conspicuous in the moonlight.

"Tsk tsk." Tu Niuer sucked.

When Li Shuyun turned around, he saw Liang Xiao and Tu Niuer, and smiled embarrassedly. He pointed to the tents of the men. Liang Xiao shook his head and made a gesture. "Look at when these guys will wake up."

Li Shuyun understood, put the sword beside him and started to wear clothes. He was so cautious that he actually brought swords, shields and armor when he came out for a tryst. In a moment, he was ready. Looking at Liang Xiao and Tu Niuer's surprised eyes, he pulled the corners of his mouth. Explained:

"She likes to see my armor-piercing look and wants to untie my armor by herself."

"Puff!" Liang Xiao couldn't help it. Although he felt it was not suitable, he still laughed out loud.

"Who?" I remembered a low shout not far away. It was Guo Wu's voice. Liang Xiao turned his head and saw that Guo Wu was also fully armed. He touched him with a hug. Seeing that it was Liang Xiao, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are they up?" Liang Xiao was very satisfied. Before the enemy launched an attack, these people woke up and were still vigilant.

"I've gotten up, but I haven't really fallen asleep." Guo Wu laughed, looked at Li Shuyun, and stopped talking. Liang Xiao understood. These guys were all in a hurry, lying in the tent and listening to the wall. As soon as the movement outside stopped, they knew everything.

Li Shuyun also understood. He turned his face, spitted and cursed twice.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and it was clearly visible. Liang Xiao and others dispersed, squatting in the grass half a man high, watching more than ten cavalry galloping slowly from a distance. When they were more than a hundred steps away from the tent, a figure suddenly jumped up from the grass, and took off one figure with a spear. They rolled over the horse, kicked the horse and left, and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack"

It was Xie Guanglong who was on duty.

With a roar, Xie Guanglong turned his horse's head and rushed towards another black shadow.

The shadows scattered around were surprised, but they had no intention of retreating. The two of them strode their horses and chased Xie Guanglong, bent their bows and arrows, and the others kicked the horses hard, speeding up. They rushed towards the two tents respectively.

Xu Yanshou and others rushed out of the tent. Pang Shuo held an iron knife and stopped him in front of the tent. Xu Yanshou stood behind him, pulled his bow and arrows, and shot several arrows in succession. Li Dingguo rushed towards the war horse tied beside the tent, untied the reins of the horse, turned over the horse, and rode the horse towards a rushing black shadow.

The battle broke out instantly, and the two sides roared and killed each other. The arrow feathers were flying, and the horse's hooves were fast. As soon as the battle was fought, someone was caught and fell off the horse. In the tent opposite, two tyrants rushed out, one pulled a bow and the other raised a knife, fighting with the two thieves who rushed to the tent.

Liang Xiao was very satisfied. Although the cooperation between the men and the officials was not as perfect as ever, it was also remarkable. He shouted softly: "Kill!" He stood up, didn't even look at it, pulled the bow and took an arrow, and shot it out.

A thief who was speeding down was caught and fell to the ground with a "plop". The war horse ran over. The figure who suddenly stood up in the grass stood up and turned around to avoid it. Guo Wu rushed over, flew over, turned his head, rushed towards the other thiefs, and pulled the bow and archery while shouting loudly.

"Kill! Kill!"

Liang Xiao stood in the grass, pulled out the arrow, shot three arrows in a row, and the three of them fell off the horse. In the night, he could not see the other person's appearance, but could hear the sound clearly. As long as he did not have a familiar accent, he would be killed without mercy once he approached.

The other party obviously did not expect that Liang Xiao and others were so vigilant. A sneak attack turned into a strong attack. When they encountered an extremely powerful counterattack, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked. They whistled and drove away. They came quickly and went faster, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

The torch was lit up, Xie Guanglong and Guo Wu urged the horse to rush up the mountain ridge next to them and checked around to prevent the thieves from returning. Li Shuyun led the Lang Guan to search everywhere, and soon dragged several injured thieves over, a total of five people, two of whom were shot by Liang Xiao, and one should have run away.

The most miserable guy was killed by Pang Shuo. Half of his head was cut off with one knife, and his brain was flowing out. Pang Shuo held his iron knife, so happy that he couldn't stop talking, and stuck out his big tongue and licked the blade. This was the first time that the Iron Dao's actual combat was drinking blood. He won the flag, which was very powerful and powerful.

When they saw these prisoners, the two horned beards changed their faces and screamed.

Liang Xiao was puzzled, so Guo Wenbin walked up and asked carefully. When he came back, his face looked a little ugly.

"Sir, these people are horse thieves in the Punushui area, nicknamed a gust of wind, and the tattoo on their left forehead is their unique symbol. Punushui is in the north and north of the Youxian King's pastoral area, so it should not appear here."

"What can they say when they appear here?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that July is coming, and the Huns will be in the forest there. These horse thieves have no place to hide and can only avoid it for a while. Another possibility is that the harvest in the northern desert is not good, and they cannot grab enough things, so they have to migrate south."

Liang Xiao frowned. He had heard before that the harvest on the grasslands was not good in the past two years, and the Huns might have to invade the south. Now even horse thieves are running south. This is probably true. In this case, northern borders may not be peaceful this year.

"Sir, we have to leave quickly. Once the Huns decide to invade the south, there will be many Huns here soon, and there will be little space left for us. Once we encounter a large number of Hun cavalry, it will be difficult for us to get out."

Liang Xiao felt it was reasonable. It was late summer now, and most of the Huns were still in the summer pastures in the north, and there were no people on the grasslands, so they could pass calmly. When the Huns came back and even approached south, it would not be so easy for them to pass smoothly. No matter how brave they were, there were only nine people. It would be a disaster to meet a large number of Hun cavalry.

"Let's rest, starting tomorrow, we will accelerate."

"Here." Everyone agreed.

...

Liang Xiao took away the horse thief's money and horses. If he had to speed up his horse's strength, he would have to constantly change horses along the way. Although the Hun herders had limited knowledge, they could make a deal with something. After all, the journey was long, so it would be good to prepare more.

As for the clothes and harnesses on the horse thief, Liang Xiao was not interested and threw them directly to the Huns. The supplies on the grassland were short of resources and they would not waste them no matter how bad things were. The Huns were very satisfied with this unexpected harvest and gave Liang Xiao some cheese for them to eat on the way.

These cheeses are easier to carry and can be kept for longer than meat.

As Guo Wenbin guessed, the Hun women were reluctant to part with Li Shuyun and wanted to leave. Liang Xiao refused. They shouldered heavy responsibilities and could not take the women on the way. If they took one away if they took one, they would probably have to separate their luggage if they could not leave the Great Yuezhi and they would go back to their own Gaolaozhuang.

They walked out for a long time and saw the Hun women standing on the ridge, staring blankly.

...

In Shanglinyuan, in a newly completed new hall, Liu Che walked slowly with a horse whip, suddenly raised his head and lowered his head, as if he was thinking.

Han Yan followed closely behind, Wei Qing and others were holding the horse and waiting not far away. In the early autumn, the forests of Shanglinyuan, and the pine waves were bursting. Wei Qing glanced at Qin Ge and laughed silently.

Qin Ge held the sword and shrugged. "It's been a year in a flash."

"Yes." Wei Qing pondered for a moment and said quietly: "My son will laugh."

"Have you gone to see it?" Qin Ge forced a smile.

"I've seen it." Wei Qing blinked. "I plan to bring them back, so I can't always let A Xiao help me raise them."

"Where can't live in the palace like you?"

"This..." Wei Qing hesitated for a moment. "I want to find a house in Maoling and let them live in first."

"You'd better wait for A Xiao to come back." Qin Ge shook his head. "Miss Zheng is not someone who can take care of herself. If she lets her live alone, can she take care of the child? Let her live in A Xiao's house. Isn't Hu Xijun about to give birth, and she's taking care of her together."

"I'm sorry, I'm having too much trouble for A Xiao."

"Who is A Xiao? You don't know? You have a life-long friendship and are afraid of this trouble." Qin Ge arched Wei Qing's shoulder. "Forget it, with Huan Jun here, Miss Zheng is still honest. After leaving Huan Jun, she doesn't know what trouble she will cause."

"That's true. My son looks a bit like her and he's dancing very much." Wei Qing scratched his head. "I want to marry him Ming Kang. Wei Kang, what do you think?"

Qin Ge was about to answer, but Liu Che stopped in front and waved to Wei Qing. Wei Qing did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly walked over.

"I heard that Liang Xiao's junior sister gave birth to a son for you?"

Wei Qing nodded awkwardly and his face turned red.

"Let's go to Maoling and see them."—
