The endless grassland, with a gust of wind, swings layers of blue waves, if placed in the future generations, it should be a stunning beauty.

Xia Hongsheng has never traveled on the grassland in his later life, except for the real grassland on TV.

However, the scenery in front of him at this moment did not seem to make Xia Hongsheng pay attention.

It has been four days since leaving Xiazhou City, and the "caravan" has arrived more than 200 miles away from Xiazhou, because it has become a caravan, so it is fully prepared, whether it is horses or the needs of life on the grassland, they are all carried sufficiently, and more than 200 people can walk 50 or 60 miles a day.

Information came four days ago that the Turkic peace envoy was about to arrive at the border of Xiazhou.

In other words, it will not take more than a few days for the people in front of them to discover the traces of the Turkic mission.

"Yi Daxia, it's noon, let's stop and rest!" Near noon, a person who was quite close to Yi Qiulou and Li Feng proposed.

Yi Qiulou looked at Li Feng, then nodded and said, "It's okay, everyone stop and rest, let's eat!" ”

Xia Hongsheng looked at Yi Qiulou, and thought that although Yi Qiulou had summoned so many people, he didn't expect that he would be so prestigious among this group of people. Moreover, this group of people is still a group of green forest thieves, a completely different type of people from Yi Qiulou. I have seen it with my own eyes in the past few days, and I am even more surprised.

So while everyone stopped to sit on the ground and rest, eat and drink, he quietly asked Yi Qiulou: "Brother Yi, this group of people seems to have you as the leader!" ”

"It's all beaten out, just the appearance of it. In my heart, I might even want to kill me while there is chaos. Yi Qiulou shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice: "Before, in order to become a teacher. A certain has challenged a lot of green forest thieves. But it is in these individuals that they have gained a little bit of fame. In addition, there is a heavy temptation. A certain also promised that as long as they didn't rob their own people, but only robbed the Turks, they wouldn't meddle in their affairs, so they all came. Naturally, there are still some thorns, but after being taught a lesson by the old man, he is naturally honest. ”

I see, Xia Hongsheng nodded clearly. I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of stories about Yi Qiulou. In addition, although Li Feng is a eunuch, he has been serving in the palace, and he seems to be an eagle dog that Li Shimin believes in, and his martial arts are extremely strong, which Xia Hongsheng has seen with his own eyes, just like a martial arts film, Yi Qiulou's skills are already very good in the rivers and lakes, but he has no backhand power in front of him, not to mention these green forest thieves.

However, this is also Xia Hongsheng's previous consideration. Let Li Feng come with Yi Qiulou, that is, for Yi Qiulou's town. Presumably, the emperor sent Li Feng out of the palace to assist in the formation of the chivalrous line. First, it is to send a person he trusts to monitor this organization and the knights in it, and secondly, I am afraid it is also to suppress those knights.

Everyone rested in place, and while they were talking, they suddenly saw a burst of smoke and dust rushing in the distance, and everyone was about to stand up, but suddenly someone said: "Don't worry, we are now merchants!" ”

So they sat down again, and waited for the spies who had come near, but who had gone out a few days earlier.

When the horse approached, he saw that the man on the horse's back suddenly turned vertical, stepped on the horse's back and flew out violently, and after landing, he was not slower than the horse, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Yi Qiulou and Li Feng.

"Two hundred miles ahead, I saw the sentry of the Turkic cavalry!" The man shouted at a loud voice, and all of them stood up at once.

"According to the habits of the Turkic soldiers, there were sentry sentry, indicating that the rear army was at most a hundred miles away." Li Feng stroked his beard and said, "Naturally, it's glued."

Yi Qiulou listened to Li Feng's words and asked again, "How long did it take you to return here?" ”

"I found it in the morning." The man said, "That's all it takes." ”

Xia Hongsheng was taken aback when he heard this, he found the Turkic advance sentinel two hundred miles away, and then came back to inform him, that is, it only took one morning for two hundred miles?! This is going to catch up with the 800-mile expedited, but the 800-mile expedited is to change the high-quality horses every time you arrive at the post.

"This man can use secret techniques to pierce holes with silver needles, so that the horses can run wildly. I had only heard about it before, but now I see it as true. Xia Hongsheng was Li Feng's apprentice who brought him out to see the world at this time, so right on Li Feng's side, Li Feng saw Xia Hongsheng's surprise, so he explained quietly with a side face: "I heard that this secret technique can also be used by people, and it can make people suddenly infinitely powerful." It's just that after exhaustion, whether it is a man or a horse, it will be costly. ”

Hearing this, Xia Hongsheng looked up, and sure enough, he saw that the horse had fallen to the ground at this moment after being stepped off by him, motionless.

"The Turkic missions are numerous, and they bring a lot of gifts, and they have to chase those beasts, and they can't go too fast." Someone said.

"Yes!" Yi Qiulou nodded: "Okay, hurry up today, stop tomorrow at this time and wait for the Turks to appear." ”

The people were not resting, and immediately continued to drive on the road.

Xia Hongsheng got on the horse and glanced back, and among the crowd behind him, there was a figure that quietly slowed down, and gradually fell to the end, quietly disappearing.

"Master Hou, according to our speed, we can walk more time today, we can walk more than forty miles in the afternoon, and we can rush to the night in the evening, as for tomorrow afternoon, we may be able to go to a hundred miles away, and it is only more than three hundred miles away from Xiazhou, which is a little close." After continuing to set off, Li Feng whispered to Xia Hongsheng beside him.

"Well, more than 300 miles, it's a little close." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "Then there is no way." Presumably, the Turks saw that they couldn't stop Xue Yantuo's envoy, so they wanted to reach Chang'an first, so they traveled all the way. ”

"Then if the Turks go to Xiazhou for help, I'm afraid we will have to mention withdrawing." Yi Qiulou said with some worry.

Xia Hongsheng patted the horses under him, kept up with the speed of the two of them, and said, "Then it's up to Liu Tingshi." Don't worry, I have discussed with Liu Tingshi before, if the Turkic and pro-envoys go to Xiazhou to ask for help, then we will break up into pieces and disperse. Liu Jianshi will take the garrison army in Xiazhou to find it slowly and drag the Turks, and we will still have a chance at that time. ”

Everyone traveled all the way, non-stop for an afternoon, eating something while walking, and then lit torches in the evening to continue to hurry, the torches of the two hundred people were bright, even if there were any wild beasts around, they did not dare to come closer, and they did not stop until midnight, and at this moment they had come out of the boundary of Xiazhou for nearly three hundred miles.

After resting on the spot until it was dark, he continued to walk, and at noon, he saw that the terrain of the grassland began to gradually rise, which happened to allow people to hide on both sides.

"That's it!" Xia Hongsheng whispered to the two. (To be continued.) )
