Xiao Yi's face had a thoughtful expression on her face, did she say ...
No way?
Although thinking so, Xiao Yi stood up and looked out into the sky.
In the blue sky, there are no clouds, a hazy eagle is flying high in the sky, because the distance is too far, you can only see a dark shadow, the eagle is flying to this side, and eagles cry from time to time Getting louder ...
Although it was not clear what it looked like, Xiao Yi was convinced in his mind that he put his finger on his lips and made a loud whistle ...
The eagle in the air seemed to hear the sound from this side, and the target flew over to this side clearly, spreading its wings, flying lower and lower, slamming down towards the yard outside the study ...
"Small gray!"
Xiao Yi burst into a joyful smile and stretched out his right arm, so that Xiao Grey stopped firmly on its right arm.
The bamboo heard the sound, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, stuttering: "Shi Ziye, little ... why is Xiaohui here?"
"It's not just Xiaohui here ..." Xiao Yi touched Xiaoyu's shiny grey feathers and smiled meaningfully.
The smelly girl's letter arrived a few days ago. Half of the long letter was complaining. Xiao Hui became more and more wild. She went out with the official language for a whole day before she knew to go home.
It seems that he really did not wrong Xiao Xiao, but he has been "wild" to Yanding City!
Xiao Yi couldn't help but stretch his left hand and stretched it on his neck. Xiao Hui shook his head and bowed his head to peck his wings.
The bamboo was foggy and scratched his head. Who else came with Xiaohui? Isn't she always a concubine? ……how can that be possible!
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, mixed with the sound of armor collision, and a soldier whispered: "Sir, master, there is something to tell you!"
"Come in," Xiao Yi said.
The soldier hurriedly entered the study, clawed his fists, and said, "Sir Master, Anyihou came, just entered the city gate." As he said, he couldn't help but glance at the gray eagle on Xiao Yi's arm, but was immediately caught Little Grey's cold eagle eyes looked down, strange in his heart: I haven't heard that Shizi has raised an eagle?
Xiao Yi commanded: "Any Anhou, please come here!"
The soldier commanded to retreat.
Anyihou? !! Bamboo is a little dumbfounded. Did the old man just refer to Anyihou?
"Why are Anyihou and Xiaohui together?" Bamboo muttered softly.
Xiao Yi petted and touched Xiaohui's wings again, and commanded: "Bamboo, go and prepare some raw meat for Xiaohui ... forget it. Xiaohui, I think there are a lot of wild games outside Yanding City, you might as well find some Eat it, by the way, please. "
Xiao Hui screamed and didn't know if he understood.
With a wave of Xiao Yi's right arm, Xiao Hui immediately flew out, dazzlingly directed at the sky, and issued a bright eagle cry.
The bamboo on the side was sweating a lot. Was Shizi used to be raised by Shizi, but now he feeds on his own eagle?
In fact, Bamboo wants to say something: Although there is a small amount of food in the city, it is not difficult to reach this point ...
After a while, a messy footsteps sounded again outside the study. As soon as I heard the sound, I knew that there were several people this time. Bamboo was busy going out to welcome the guests. Soon, Guan Yubai, Li Yunqi and Xiaosi were welcomed in. Others accompanied him. Personnel are waiting outside.
Guan Yubai walked in step by step without any ill health, with the usual cloud and light wind, while Li Yunqi behind him collapsed like a tightened bow.
When Li Yunqi was in the capital, he heard that the king of the south of the town was arrogant and arrogant, and did whatever he wanted. This time, Anyihou came here to check the battle between the South Xinjiang Army and Nanliang. There was always something wrong, maybe Xiao Shizi. You will find that An Yihou is deliberately looking for faults, and is unhappy in her heart, to make things difficult.
Xiao Yi didn't even look at Li Yunqi, and he politely hugged Guan Guan in the official language: "Guanhouhouye, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here for nothing."
Guan Yu gave a fist with his back, and his attitude was neither cold nor hot: "Xiao Shizi will not be ridiculed." Then he introduced Li Yunqi, "This is Li Yunqi Captain."
Li Yunqi was busy giving a gift to Xiao Yi: "I have seen Xiao Shizi." Although he pretended to be relaxed, the rigid feeling had been unconsciously spread through his words and deeds.
"Li Xiaowei." Xiao Yi casually held his fist in front of Li Yunqi. "Li Xiaowei has been working hard all the time. This son will take Li Xiaowei to settle down."
While he was talking, Bamboo had approached Li Yunqi with interest and interest, and reached out for a plea.
Li Yunqi's expression was stiff for a moment, the attitude of this Xiao Shizi was already obvious, and he clearly wanted to dismiss himself intentionally. Will Xiao Shizi be troubled?
Li Yunqi gave Guan Yubai an inquiring look, and Guan Yubai nodded slightly, so Li Yunqi had to say, "Thank Xiao Shizi, then he will retreat first."
Li Yunqi went out and heard Xiao Yi's voice coming from behind: "Guanhouhouye, this son received the father's biography of the flying pigeon a few days ago. Guanhouhou's trip ..."
Li Yunqi gradually went away, and he could hear nothing, and he could not see Xiao Yi's narrow expression.
"Xiao Bai, sit and sit! Why are you so kind with me!" Xiao Yi went to the window and sat down on a ring chair, greeting Guan Yubai and sitting down.
The official Mandarin white robe sat down, and the corner of the eye just hit a gray feather on the ground, and he couldn't help but tick off, saying, "Xiao Hui has been here?" From time to time on this way, Xiao Hui would follow up and tease the pigeon for a while. Back to Luo Yuecheng, back and forth, very busy.
Xiao Yi nodded: "I sent it to find food for myself."
Xiao Yi said, while picking up the teapot on the side, poured a cup of warm tea into Guan Yubai personally, and said in a ridiculous tone, "Xiao Bai, I think your 'bird' fate is also good, rare My family likes you so much. How about you also raise a head eagle? Then we can be in-laws! "
Guan Yubai hasn't said anything yet, Xiao Si's entire face is black, and she said: This Xiao Shizi is still out of touch!
At this moment, a familiar eagle crow came out of the window. The next instant, I saw a colorful ball thrown in from the window ...
After a few days ago with the carrier pigeon incident, Xiao Si was very skilled. He grabbed the ball in his hand.
Started heavy, this time, it is actually a colorful pheasant!
Seeing this, Xiao Yi hurriedly showed off to Guan Yubai: "Xiao Bai, I just asked Xiao Hui to give me some game, and it brought me back a pheasant! The eagle I raised was really different ordinary!"
All three in the room looked out of the window. Xiao Hui had stopped on a large tree outside, and was looking down at the crowd with his proud look, as if to say that mortals and others will not hunt, I will reward Order something for you.
Guan Yubai's mouth evoked a slight smile, saying: "Xiao Hui is really smart." Then, he took out a piece of silk paper folded from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi didn't know about Nanliang carrier pigeons, and he unfolded the silk paper suspiciously. He looked at him with a few words on his face, and was surprised. This turned out to be ...
Guan Yubai talked about how Xiao gray sent him a pigeon that day. Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, lowered the letter and looked at Xiao gray outside the window. He praised: "Little gray, you have done a great job "He must write a letter to the stinky girl to argue for Xiao gray. What makes him spoiled Xiao gray? It is clear that he has his own owner and his eagle. Xiao gray is like him. !!
Seeing Xiao Yi's proud look, Xiaosi frowned, and looked away silently.
Xiao Yi grasped the piece of silk paper and looked at it again, then raised his eyes and said, "Xiao Bai, this time you came just right, there is a swamp near Yanding City. When my two men were exploring the terrain two days ago, , Stumbled upon a path that could bypass the swamp ... "
Guan Yubai thoughtfully, buckled the tabletop with his knuckles, and said, "Is this swamp southwest of Yanding City?" He already knew the map of southern Xinjiang.
Seeing Guan Yubai's pensive look, Xiao Yi said diligently: "Xiao Bai, this matter is not anxious. You came from afar, haven't you eaten yet? Hey, Xiao Hui has kindly caught us pheasant, we But don't disappoint it, just roast this pheasant and eat it! I don't need your hands, I'll come! "
Xiaosi frowned, and said, "How does Xiao Shizi sound strange?"
Guan Yubai said with a smile: "Then I want to taste your craft today."
Xiao Yi proudly flaunted: "My grandfather said that when a man can take the quilt and the ground as his seat, even if he has no money, he can hunt and hunt pheasants and boars to eat by himself! When my grandfather fought in the war , Once again separated from the army ... forget it, I'll talk to you while I roast chicken. "
Speaking, he looked at the pheasant in Xiaosi's hand, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This pheasant is not fat enough. It has no feathers. It is estimated that there is not much left. It must not be enough for us to eat!"
He walked to the window and shouted to Xiaohui outside the window: "Xiaohui, I have a guest here, you can catch some pheasants and rabbits and come back."
In the gaze of Xiao Si, Xiao Gray fluttered his wings and flew to the sky.
Xiao Yi watched Xiaohui's figure fly higher and higher, and said proudly: "My little gray really is the smartest eagle!"
At this time, the bamboo that had settled in Li Yunqi was back.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the colorful pheasant in Xiaosi's hands. He was dumbfounded, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his abdomen whispered: Xiao Gray actually hunted back a pheasant for Shi Ziye! It ’s been a while now for the grandfather to show off!
Xiao Yi commanded: "Bamboo, to prepare a grill and dry wood, etc., Ben Shizi will roast chicken in person to entertain Xiaobai."
"Yes, Shizi!" Bamboo hurried down.
Bamboo work, naturally there is no need to worry about Xiao Yi, there is no fragrant effort, not only the grill and dried wood are ready, all kinds of seasoning jars such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., as well as daggers, iron forks and other tools are all available .
Even the pheasant had to be killed by someone, and Caiyu and the internal organs were removed, just waiting to be grilled.
The two masters and two servants sat down in the backyard behind the study. Xiao Yi's movements were a little rusty, but he looked like a decent figure, and Xiaosi secretly relieved.
After a while, the seductive scent of roasted meat permeated the yard, and the fat on the flesh developed the sound of Ziba Zi, and it was mouth watering to watch, smell, and listen.
When the roast chicken turned golden brown, Xiao Yi's movements were already very proficient, and he smiled and said, "Eat immediately!"
Before his words fell, a familiar eagle crow came from the air, and Xiao Hui came back. It dived down abruptly, and threw it with the "claws", regardless of whether or not a person could receive them, and dropped the contents of the claws. .
Junior 4 frowned again, but still ran over to catch it accurately and take advantage of the momentum.
This time, Xiaohui hunted a hare.
As a result, a bare roast rabbit was added to the grill.
Bamboo made the kitchen to make some side dishes. The two replaced tea with wine and ate while chatting, until the willow head on the moon, then went back to rest ...
Early the next morning, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai and a group of seven or eight people left the city and went to the southwest. The main purpose of their trip was to look at the path beside the swamp. Fu Yunhe, Yu Xiufan, and Chang Huai Hee is also among them.
Little Ash flew above them, and flew in front of them for a while, then flew back again, hovering over their heads, and made a loud scream from time to time, as if urging them to be faster!
October in South Xinjiang is a lot hotter than Wang. At this moment, the sun has completely risen, hovering in the cloudless sky, and the sun is dazzling.
Fortunately, after a few miles on the official road, they rushed into a dense forest, and the temperature around them suddenly dropped suddenly, only to feel the autumn cool.
Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi lead the way.
Yu Xiufan said, "Brother, passing through this wood is a piece of grass and connected to the swamp, so everyone must be careful and accidentally sink into the swamp, then it will be troublesome. ... "Yu Xiufan's tone seemed to be a little bit emotional, hearing the others frowning.
Fu Yunhe was also polite with Yu Xiufan and asked directly with a smile: "Xiao Fanzi, wouldn't you have fallen off?"
Yu Xiufan seemed to think of something, wiped his cold sweat, "That's not true, it's a little bit worse. Fortunately, Xiao Xizi pulled me a hand." But then, he watched an accidentally sinking into the swamp. The wild boar encountered the overwhelming disaster in front of him step by step, that really made him feel a bit immersive ...
"Xiao Xizi, you are now my life-saving benefactor." Yu Xiufan looked at Chang Huaixi with enthusiasm. "After returning to Luo Yuecheng, I invite you to drink ... everyone who sees has a share!"
Everyone laughed at him like this, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.
Only Chang Huaixi frowned because of Xiaoxizi's title.
The crowd continued to move forward, and it didn't take long for a bright light to appear in front of the woods. Yu Xiufan pointed at the front road: "The front is the exit of the woods ..."
All of a sudden the outside of the forest suddenly opened up. There was a large flat grass field in front, and a large swamp in front of it. The dark gray quagmire sparsely grew some fresh green waterweed and cyan duckweed ...
Everyone slowed down, and a faint white mist permeated the marsh, mixed with a cold rancid smell, which made people sicken.
"Everyone is careful, there is radon in the swamp, don't get too close. Also, try to walk along the place where the trees grow, and the trees are growing on the ground ..." Yu Xiufan reminded again that these days, he really did Some hard work.
After the people carefully walked two miles along this swamp, a large lush bush appeared in front of them, raging across them, using their spiky stems to squeeze the other shrubs around them to nowhere.
Most people look at the dense spikes, and they are afraid of them, they will never go forward at all. I did not expect that Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi could find a way here.
There was a hint of surprise in everyone's expressions. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi, two spoiled male brothers, did things very carefully.
"Hey," Yu Xiufan couldn't rest for a while, and touched his nose again. "I still planned to hunt a rabbit to eat that day, and watched that rabbit go through the bush of thorns, only to find the path by chance ... "
When he saw that the grey rabbit passed through the thorn bushes safely, without actually sinking into the swamp, he realized that these thorn bushes might not be swamps, and he hurried to Chang Huaixi.
The thorns in this area are both hard and tough. The two of them worked together to cut off some thorns, and suddenly found that after this thorns, there were no holes ...
Yu Xiufan said something about that day roughly, and everyone said that he could not help but be a fool.
Chang Huaixi shook his head silently in his heart, this Yu Xiufan really took anything to say ...
The two younger brothers familiarly swept away a bush of camouflage as a camouflage with a scabbard. Then, a sheep's intestine path interspersed between the bushes appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Although this weedy path was narrow, But it is enough for two or three people in parallel. Because the thorn bushes were full on both sides of the road, the trail was hidden in the thorn bushes at a glance, and no one found them.
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai both had a joy in their hearts and quickly exchanged a look.
"Little fan, lead the way."
In Xiao Yiqinglang's voice, they turned over again.
As Xiu Fan led the way, the others followed closely, rushing along the path, the breeze, the grass was green and the horseshoes were loosing, and everyone's shadow was looming in the smoke, and soon disappeared ... ...
After walking for nearly half an hour, Yu Xiufan, who led the way, pointed at a grove in front of him and said, "Brother, after this grove, it is an official road."
However, the maps in the hands of Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi only targeted the area around Yanding City, so they were not sure where they were.
The chaos in this area is now deserted on the official road, and there is no one. Even if Xiu Fan is willing to find someone to ask for directions, no one can ask ...
A man waited quickly through the grove, then stopped by the official road and dismounted again.
This official road is enough for two carriages to run in parallel. The two ends of the road stretch straight into the distance, and the end can not be seen at a glance. At noon, the hot sun was burning, and the golden sun dazzled the ground as if it was shining, a little dazzling.
Guan Yu silently observed the surrounding environment, while looking at the position of the sun, and then looking at the shadow on the ground, thoughtfully, and then pointed at the end of the official way: "This official way should be To Dengli City. "
Dengli City? !! Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi looked at each other. They were happy at first, but then thought that they didn't know how far it was from Dengli City.
Guan Yubai seemed to find something. He strode toward the middle of the official road, and everyone looked at him in unison.
The official language white robe was squatting down, looking at several clear ruts on the ground, and the deep ruts were clearly discernible. He lowered his eyes halfway, took out a piece of parcel, picked up some soil, and twisted it a few times.
Xiao Yi stepped beside him and asked, "Little white, what did you find?"
Xiaobai ... Chang Huaixi's eyes flickered a little, and suddenly she felt that her name was actually pretty good.
Guan Yubai handed Pa Zi to Xiaosi and slowly said, "These marks are different from other marks. They should be left in recent days ..."
What everyone thought of, the spirit was refreshed, and Yu Xiufan blurted out and said, "Can it be left by the Nanliang people?"
Guan Yubai measured it on the ground with his fingers and said, "It should be. The gauge of the Nanliang carriage is different from our Dayu carriage. With such deep marks, I am afraid they have a lot of things on the carriage. There are several marks left here, and it seems that their carriage has been going back and forth on this official road several times in the past few months ... "
Xiao Yi said happily: "So, this official way should be a must for the Nanliang people." Since it is a mark left by the carriage, ninety-nine percent of the carriage is goods or materials. Weapons are either quartermaster or forage ...
Either way, there is a lot for them!
Today's trip is really rewarding!
For a time, everyone was smiling.
There are not many people coming today. If this official way is really reused by Nanliang, long staying will fight against the grass, so Xiao Yi orders the original way to return. After going back to Yanding City, make another plan.
After walking through it in the morning, no matter whether it is a person or a horse, they knew the way back, and took half the effort to get out of the path. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi skillfully disguised the entrance of the trail ...
At this moment, the cry of Xiao gray suddenly came from the air above, attracting everyone to follow the sound, and saw that Xiao Gray, who had hovered at high altitude, seemed to have found something, and swooped down in a certain direction.
Yu Xiufan froze, and said with a smile: "Brother, did Xiao gray find any prey and hunted?" Then, he drooled and drooled. "I'll go and see if I can touch it. Little gray light, eat some game ... "
Yu Xiu Fan Lisuo got on the ground, then pinched the horse's belly, speeded up the horse speed, and couldn't wait to chase Xiao Ash towards the direction of the woods. Chang Huaixi hesitated for a moment, or she followed up.
Xiao Yi smiled and said to the official language, "Xiao Bai, let's take a look, maybe we have another roasted pheasant today ..."
The words didn't fall, he and Fu Yunhe rushed out with a horse like lightning, the official language looked at the young male brother in front of the four freshly-dressed and angry horses with smiles, but they followed unhurriedly, as if they were traveling in autumn Generally comfortable. Primary 4 still followed Guan Yubai in the shadow.
The business that came out today has been done, and everyone's mood is relaxed a lot.
At the forefront, Yu Xiufan chased the little gray horse in the air after running for some distance, and saw Xiao gray hovering at the mouth of the woods, making a clear cry from time to time.
Yu Xiufan shifted his eyes slightly, only to find that there was an old man and a young man standing under a few big trees under Xiao Hui. To be correct, it should be an old man and a girl.
Due to the distance, he could not see the appearance of the two people for a while, but only saw that the old man and the young man were wearing blue clothes and carrying a bamboo quilt.
Yu Xiufan subconsciously “calls”, so that His Majesty's horse slowed down. He squinted slightly, always feeling that the girl seemed familiar.
Chang Huaixi behind him also saw the two men, and drove the horse to Yu Xiufan, squinting alertly. Although the two people looked at them, they were ordinary, old, young, and weak, but Yanding City was previously occupied by Nanliang. Nowadays, the people in the city are afraid to leave the city at random, and people in other towns are afraid to come. Coming here, besides, here in the wild countryside, why is this young and old come here? !!
Thinking of Nanliang envoy who had been to Yanding City a few days ago, Chang Huaixi became more vigilant.
Wouldn't these two be Nanliang spies?
"Shizi ..."
Chang Huaixi was about to turn to Xiao Yi for help, and he and Yu Xiufan went over to find out, but heard the girl in front of the Tsing Yi pointing at Xiao gray in the air and shouted, "Xiao gray, are you Xiao gray, right? ? ... Maternal grandfather, this must be Xiaoer's little gray. "
If Chang Huaixi hadn't exported before, she swallowed stiffly. The girl knew that the prince of the world was called Xiaohui. Is this young and old man an acquaintance of the world? !!
