Chapter 24 Yun has no intention to come out In the evening, it is the busiest time of Qingxiang Valley.
After a hard day's work, people can finally take a breath, get some wine, get some food from the fat cook, and start enjoying the rare leisure time of the day.
Wine, as usual, is not much, whether it is mare's milk wine, or sour home-brewing, you can only drink a small bowl.
So, the men took a sip of the wine in the bowl and ate in large gulps.
The appetizer is only gossip.
There are not many greens in the hot springs, so they have little to do with men, and everyone knows that they belong to pregnant women and children.
Men can only eat some when they are sick.
The children didn't know what to do, chewing the green vegetables with difficulty in their mouths, but they fixed their eyes on the dried meat in their father's bowl.
The man picked the dried meat from the bowl and gave it to his son, then he grabbed the cleaned carrot and bit it and squeaked and clucked.
Last autumn, after the wheat was harvested, the patriarch planted a lot of carrots, and before the snow fell, he harvested a lot, and all of them were stored in very deep cellars, enough for the whole clan to eat all winter.
Tie Xinyuan also bites a carrot in his mouth, and the iron fox next to him also likes to eat carrots, but this guy only likes to gnaw on the skin of carrots, and it has always refused to eat the hard core of carrots.
Meng Yuanzhi, Ah Da, Ah Er, Tie Yi, Tie San, also had the same meal in front of them, and everyone ate with relish.
Meng Yuanzhi tilted his neck and poured the remaining soup cakes into his mouth, looked at the fox and said to Tie Xinyuan: "Shouldn't the fox eat meat?"
” Tie Xinyuan raised his hand and stroked a handful of the fox's supple fur and said with a smile: "Not long after it was born, it has been with me, and since it was a child, it eats whatever I eat, and the taste is surprisingly similar to mine." ” Ah Da glanced at the fox and said, "He is too old, for a fox, he can live to be seventeen years old, which is already an old age."
However, it is different, it is really strange that it can still run and jump, and yesterday I saw it bring back a frozen turtledove. ” "The fox has gone into the mountains?"
Tie Xinyuan glanced down at the fox, and the fox immediately lowered his head and pretended not to know anything, and lowered his head to nibble on the carrot.
The Tianshan Mountains are not like the small dirt bags in Tokyo City, where fierce beasts are full of herds, and even the wild foxes in the Tianshan Mountains are not something that a guy like the Iron Fox who grew up in a greenhouse can deal with.
The fox should be the natural enemy of the hedgehog, only the iron fox will be stabbed by the hedgehog with a full mouth, because of the matter of going up the mountain, he has been taught many times by Tie Xinyuan, but I didn't expect this guy to still be a thief.
Meng Yuan diverted the topic and said: "Everything is good in the Western Regions, but the winter is too long, and the Tianshan Road is closed by heavy snow, so we can't carry out many actions, and we have to stay up until the ice and snow melt." ” Tie Xinyuan smiled: "It's true, Li Qiao's killing of a cloud is our last large-scale dispatch this year. ” Meng Yuanzhi asked, "Do you really want to use the name of a cloud to go to the Khitan?"
” Tie Xinyuan nodded and said: "That's the case, the Uighur Kingdom will fight to the death with the Qarakhanid next year, this situation is very beneficial to us, the only trouble is that we now occupy Hami, which is a challenge to the Khitan royal power."
The Khitan's Wugu Enemy Lie Commander is close at hand, and if it comes over on a large scale, Hami will become a scorched earth.
We are not the same as we were at the beginning, and if we let the barbarians of the Wugu Enemy Lie Command Military Division come to Hami, this place will become a scorched earth again, and the loss will be too great for us.
Therefore, we must solve our current embarrassing situation from the legal theory of the Khitans, Hami is dispensable for the Khitans, and for us it is all there is. ” Ah Da laughed and said, "If we can collect the 30,000 wolf cubs in a cloud, even against the Uighur king's royal tent army, we will have some capital to fight." ” Tie Yi wrote on the sand table: "A cloud is the most mysterious bandit in the Western Regions, and it is not easy to deal with. ” Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "The location of our Qingxiang Valley can be hidden from the Uighur kings, the Khitans, and there is absolutely no way to hide a cloud."
I even think that this guy seems to coincide with us.
I'm afraid he also covets Hami, right?
After all, the bandits have done this, and it is time to establish their own country.
Where could it be better than Hami?
I hope that Li Qiao can succeed in one battle this time and get rid of this henchman. ” The night of the Tianshan Mountains in winter came very early, the sun had just set, the night covered the earth, the Western Regions and the Song people sat around the warm hot springs, whispering, the Song people stammered and spoke the Turkic language, and the Western Regions people stumbled and spoke the official language of the Song people.
This kind of communication is very laborious, but fortunately, the stories they tell are very attractive, and through hand and foot comparisons, everyone can finally listen to the general meaning.
This is a new family rule, in the winter when it gets dark early and dawns late, people have a lot of leisure time, and it is a waste not to practice what the other person says at this time.
The Iron Fox likes this time the most, it is very popular, and no matter where you go to the crowd, there will be countless hands reaching out to help it scratch it.
It is the children who really master the language the fastest.
The children of the Song people shouted that their companions would go to the snow house to hide and seek with them.
The children of the Western Regions shouted names like Wang Gou'er and asked him not to run.
Meng Hu stuck to Yu Chi Zhuozhuo, but no matter who Yu Chi Zhuozhuo talked to now, he was fluent in Turkic dialect, and Meng Hu, who couldn't understand Turkic dialect, scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and he couldn't understand what Yu Chi Zhuozhuo said.
At the height of the moon, men and women yawned and went back to their dwellings.
Tie Yi and Meng Yuanzhi made an appointment to inspect the city defense, especially the outposts on the top of the mountains on both sides, which must be checked every day during this extraordinary period.
There were wolves in the mountains, and Meng Yuan walked up the sentry post along the ridge with a torch and his iron gun.
In the cold wind, his expression changed suddenly, and then he walked into the outpost as if nothing had happened.
The outpost is a nearly hermetic house, and only a window is opened in the leeward area, and only by climbing up to the roof of the outpost can you see the four fields.
As soon as he walked into the outpost, the gate of the outpost was closed, and six big men surrounded Meng Yuanzhi and laughed.
Meng Yuan glanced directly at the four corpses on the ground and sighed, among the four dead people, he knew at least two.
"Who are you?"
Meng Yuan stuck the torch on the wall and asked a rough man at the head.
Seeing that Meng Yuanzhi did not have the slightest panic, the rough man was stunned for a moment and said, "A cloud!"

” As soon as the three words of a cloud came out, Meng Yuanzhi's huge iron spear head pierced into his big mouth, and the spear head came out of his brain.
The iron gun retreated, and the gun drill behind the barrel of the gun was nailed into the throat of a big man, and the spear could not be used in the room, and before the horse thief next to him could react, Meng Yuanzhi threw away the barrel of the gun, pinched his hands into tiger claws, and tore open the throat of another big man, and the pink trachea was torn out by him alive with hot air.
In an instant, Meng Yuanzhi had already killed the three of them, pinched the scimitar that had been chopped over with one hand, and reflexively kicked at the end of the torch he had inserted in the wall, and the remaining two horse thieves could only watch as the torches swirled in the air and flew out of the hole in the wall, and accurately fell into the stone cauldron filled with viscous oil.
The flames rose, and a rapid trumpet sounded on the wall below the mountain.
Meng Yuanzhi threw away the half of the trachea in his hand, opened the door and looked out, and found that the beacon fire on the opposite mountain had also been ignited, and a hundred and ten rockets flew up on the city, landing at the predetermined location, illuminating the open space in front of the Qingxiang Valley City as if it were day.
A group of people who were speeding through the valley were completely exposed to the firelight, and the next moment, a rain of arrows flew over the city, covering the open space in front of the city.
He knew the defense system of Qingxiang Valley, as long as he was not attacked by others, it would be difficult to break through Qingxiang Valley from the front.
The wind outside was very cold, so Meng Yuanzhi closed the gate of the outpost, looked at the remaining two frightened horse thieves and said, "How many people are here?"
Who is the leader?
A cloud?
” One of the thieves was so frightened that he could no longer hold his knife, and the head of the most vicious thief was hanging on the instep of his feet, his neck was spurting blood, and his trouser legs and boots were soaked with warm blood.
The other horse thief roared, brandishing a knife like a ball of light and pounced on Meng Yuanzhi, he no longer dared to kill the terrifying man in front of him, he only hoped to force this person to get out of the way of the body blocking the gate, so that he could run out.
Meng Yuanzhi's right hand poked directly into the ball of light, and with a slight force in his hand, the scimitar flew out, and at the same time, the terrible scream of the horse thief had already sounded.
After breaking off the horse thief's right hand holding the knife, Meng Yuanzhi did not stop, let go of the severed hand that was exposed with white bone stubble, and quickly did the same with the horse thief's left hand.
The horse thief fell to the ground, rolled his eyes and fainted, Meng Yuan raised his foot and stepped on the horse thief's two legs.
Then he looked at the last horse thief and asked, "How many people are here?"
Who is the leader?
A cloud?
” The horse thief's eyes were wide to the extreme, and the injured horse thief was constantly awakened by the pain, and immediately fainted again, and in three or five breaths, this cycle had been carried out three times, and finally he died of pain.
"One thousand cavalry, the big leader is coming in a cloud, and the little leader is taking two thousand people into the Tianshan Mountains, and when the old leader arrives, they will spend the winter together."
Meng Yuanzhi nodded and said, "Very good, tell me now, how did you break through the six outposts in front?"
Especially since the first outpost is built on a lonely peak, and there is no way to climb it after putting away the rope ladder, is there a conspiracy among us?
” The horse thief trembled and said: "There is no conspiracy, the old leader has a huge mandrill (horse monkey), climbing the mountain peak as if walking on the ground, it is it with a rope to climb the mountain, and our people secretly climb up again......"
Meng Yuanzhi took a deep breath of the rich bloody breath in the room, and said to the last horse thief with a cruel smile: "In the boring winter, I can finally relax my muscles and bones." ” As he spoke, the spear in his hand did not stop for a moment, and the corpses of the five horse thieves who fell to the ground were picked up by the iron spear and fell heavily from the top of the mountain into the group of horse thieves below.
There was no need to hold on here, so Meng Yuanzhi tied up the horse thief with a rope and escorted him down the mountain step by step.
