Chapter 17: Fighting
Between the sky and the earth was a bleak black, white and gray, and the howling north wind mixed with goose feathers of snowflakes smashed the marching people. Every time the north wind blows, the heat on the body seems to be drained at once, and the corpses dangling on the branches are like drunks who have drunk too much, but the long neck and hideous face of the fallen are really terrifying. The frozen white bones as hard as cement collided together from time to time, making a tinkling sound. Walking on such a road, even the bloodthirsty rangers under Luan Bu couldn't help but tremble.
Luan Bu looked at Yun Xiao who was waiting for him at the end of the road with a gloomy face, not afraid of those swaying corpses at all.
"Grandpa." Behind Luan Bu, a young man with a face like a crown of jade leaned his horse towards Luan Bu, obviously having some heart palpitations at such a scene.
"Coward." Another fair-skinned, unspoken teenager glanced at his cousin, his eyes full of contempt.
"Fake ......"
"Okay, don't make any noise. When we arrived, we all behaved, this Yunhou is not easy to mess with. ”
Luan Bu stopped the quarrel of the juniors and urged the horse to walk towards Yun Xiao, who was waiting at the gate of the camp. The goshawk came to Yun Xiao's side and introduced people to Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao looked at the biggest underworld leader of the big man, and it was really the most appropriate to describe it as his unsightliness. Medium stature, small eyes, mouse-like mustache, a qiē can no longer be ordinary. If there's anything different from others, it's those small and special spiritual eyes.
"The junior Yun Xiao has seen the old general Luan." Before you become a big guy, you must respect the current big guy. Yun Xiao insisted that this was necessary, and Luan Bu was a big guy who could be respected.
"Hehe, Yunhou is polite. With 100 horsemen can break half a thousand Wu army, the old man thought he was a burly strong man, it turned out to be a young general, and the prestige of the Han army has its own descendants, and the old man is not convinced of the old man. ”
"Where, where. The old hero is old and strong, and my juniors still need more support from the seniors, and the cold weather is freezing and the clouds are slightly prepared, and the old heroes are invited to talk in the tent. ”
The 2,000 soldiers brought by Luan Bu outside the camp began to set up camp outside, and it seemed that they would be stationed here for a few days.
The people built a wall of fire in the big tent of the clouds, and the grease of pine wood crackled in the hearth. The fire tortoise swept the heat and was constantly pumped into the wall of fire by the wind. The weather outside was dripping with ice, but inside the tent was as warm as spring. A sumptuous banquet has been set, and a pot of beef stewed radish is still steaming.
After letting Luan Bu go to the first seat, Yun Xiao ordered the wine. In winter, the wine is a little lukewarm and must be scalded with hot water before it can be served.
"The old man heard that Yunhou's food is the top of our Han, and even His Majesty has to go to your Zhuangzi to eat and drink. Today, when I saw it, it really lived up to its reputation, that is, it was not easy to make such dishes in this barracks. ”
Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Luan Bu felt very satisfied, at least this Yunhou was very sensible, and he did not have the slightest intention of being arrogant.
"The old hero is the pillar of my Han dynasty, and it is appropriate for the younger generation to have some thoughts." Yun Xiao said modestly.
It's not good to eat with such people, all of them stand and watch two people eat. There were only two people sitting, Yun Xiao and Luan Bu, and the guards led by Luan Bu stood on both sides, and they were not squinted and were not taken by the Yun family's food.
Yun Xiao poured Luan Bu a glass of wine.
"Old hero, the younger generation arranged some drinks in the partial account. How about inviting these guard brothers to go to the account for a meal, so that the brothers don't blame Yun Xiao for poor hospitality. ”
As soon as Luan Bu waved his hand, the guards were led by the old fisher to the side tent. The overcrowded tent suddenly relaxed a lot, and only the goshawk stood behind Yun Xiao. Behind Luan Bu were two handsome teenagers, one looking at himself with a grunt in his eyes, the other staring at the dishes on the table, his throat constantly stirring and swallowing.
"Yunxiao respects the old heroes, please."
Yun Xiao picked up his wine glass and toasted Luan Bu.
Luan Bu didn't shirk either, and drained the wine in the glass in one gulp. The dark face suddenly swelled with a dark red.
"Good wine, the Yun family's fine wine really lives up to its reputation."
Yun Xiao took a large piece of beef and handed it to Luan Bu's bowl, "The old hero tastes this beef, eating this beef stewed radish in winter is the most uplifting." ”
"Beef, you actually eat beef. You're violating the rules. ”
The boy who swallowed his saliva rushed out of his mouth. The beef that Yun Xiao handed over to half suddenly stopped in the air.
Nima, who died the child. Lao Tzu invites you to eat beef because he looks up to you, and you are still chirping
Luan Bu took the beef handed over by Yun Xiao with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and after saying yes vaguely, he swallowed it in his stomach.
"You know a fart, the cow that was shot on the battlefield is waiting to rot if you don't eat it. Child, where is your place to speak? ”
Luan Bu reprimanded the young man behind him.
"Don't blame Yunhou, young people are not sensible. Come, the old man respects our young general of the Han Dynasty with a cup, and he has more than half a thousand horses, ha. ”
"Who knows if the cow was shot or killed by him for meat." The young man muttered to himself, and although his voice was small, it was clearly audible in the silent tent. Luan Bu's old face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
"There's no place for you to speak here. Get out. ”
Luan Bu finally couldn't bear it anymore and coaxed the young man out.
The young man walked out of the tent angrily, saw the sound of shouting and cheering in the tent, and faintly heard the sound of guessing the boxing order, obviously having drunk the wine. The disciples of the Mo family, such as the big hammer who accompanied him, also actively persuaded him to drink, and the scene was really like a family.
snorted in his nose, it is not uncommon to be in the company of these rough people. But he couldn't bear the hunger in his stomach, and followed the aroma of meat to the cauldron of cooking beef in Houying. Although he reprimanded Yun Xiao for eating beef, the beef in the cauldron still made him salivate. I looked left and right, but there was no one. He took out a sharp dagger and pricked a piece of fatty beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Suddenly, there was a low shout from the side, and a bearded man in a leather robe came up and was about to snatch the dagger from the young man's hand. This young man is also a perennial martial arts practitioner, although he was evaluated by Luan Bu as a fist embroidered leg, but he also has some kung fu in his hands.
With a flip of his wrist, the big man grabbed an air, and a flirtatious leg kicked the big man's lower body. Dahan was startled, and subconsciously dodged sideways, and this kick was kicking the root of Dahan's thigh. The big man was in pain, and he didn't care that many hands grabbed the young man's arms, and a blow to the head slammed the young man's face, and the nosebleeds fell to the ground dripping, and tears unconsciously welled up in his eyes.
wanted to break free from the hands of this big man, but unexpectedly, this man's hands were like two iron gates, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't help it. When he was in a hurry, suddenly the object in front of him changed, it turned out that he was lifted up by this man, and he slammed the young man to the ground with a twist of his waist.
The man was also annoyed by the young man's kick, and casually pulled out a wooden stake with a thick bowl mouth, and smashed it on the young man's head without thinking about the wind.
If it hits this time, this young man's brain will burst.
A pair of big hands grasped the stake steadily, and the young man took this opportunity to quickly roll, dodged the dagger in his hand, and slashed the big man's leg.
Batu felt pain in his leg, and raised his foot and kicked the boy to the ground.
The Hun man, who was stopped by Batu, saw that the young man had injured the leader, and turned around and found his saber. When the knife was drawn out of the sheath, it was slashed and killed, and the young man was also clever. Seeing the sturdy people in the tent from time to time, he got up and ran along the way he came to the big tent of Yunxiao.
As soon as the Huns saw that the leader was injured, they drew their sabers and chased after them.
"Grandpa, grandpa, help. Someone is going to kill me. ”
The young man ran towards Yunxiao's tent with his cape, and a group of red-eyed Huns behind him chased after him with swords.
The Luan Bu guards in the partial account first heard the shouts of the young master leaving, and without thinking about it, he drew his sword and rushed out of the partial account. stopped the Hun man, and for a time the Xiongnu dialect and Shandong dialect became a mess. Some anxious rushed forward, and an extremely harsh sound rang out under the impact of the sword.
"Stop"
"Stop"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time, but one spoke Xiongnu and the other Shandong.
Just a few people on each side have already been injured. However, in terms of injuries, Luan Bu's people were more seriously injured, and several people's long swords had been cut off. Blood was pouring from his chest, and his companions were scrambling to bandage it. And the Hun men relied on the advantage of the saber, but a few of them were scratched by exquisite swordsmanship.
"Huns, sir, these are Huns."
Some of the guards who had seen the Huns began to clamour, and Luan Bu's brow furrowed. looked at Yun Xiao with some unkind eyes, waiting for Yun Xiao to give him an explanation.
Batu was supported by his own people and came to Yunxiao's front and stroked his chest and saluted.
"What's going on?" Yun Xiao asked Batu in Chinese, and today because he was afraid that there would be friction between the Hun men and Luan Bu's people because of the language barrier, he specially locked them in the back camp, and also ordered them to come to the front without anything. How could such a thing happen?
"Back to the Hou Ye, this kid went to the back camp to steal something to eat. When my people found out and saved me, this kid was not only ungrateful but also scratched me with a dagger. This caused my people to run to the front, and Batu did not obey the orders of the Hou Ye and asked the Hou Ye to punish him. ”
Batu's Chinese is already quite good, and it is a standard Guanzhong accent. If it weren't for the appearance, I would have thought it was a Guanzhong man when I heard the accent wherever I went.
Luan Bu also checked his subordinates, all of whom were slashed. Although the wounds were bloody and looked scary, they did not hurt the muscles and bones, these guards were all rangers, and they all avoided the fatal parts when they were in danger.
