—————————————————————————————

The walls of the market town are just to stop horse thieves, but they are actually not particularly strong.

After Dong Zhao and others arrived, they saw that the wall was not strong, so they repaired it, which was much better.

But even so, the small wall could not stop the attack of the Qiang Cavalry and the soldiers of Jincheng County.

One hour later, the entire town fell into a sea of ​​fire. Even the highest building in the town was swallowed by the flames. Don’t be misunderstood, the fire was not done by Beigong Yu’s subordinates, but was ignited by Beigong Bo.

When Dong Zhao came, he brought all the remaining pine oil in the camp.

Beigong Bo had already determined to die, so before the war began, he ordered people to collect firewood and sprinkle pine oil on all the thatched huts and houses in the market town. There was even more firewood like a mountain under the observation deck, and a little spark could ignite a prairie fire.

A total of three hundred heroes were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

A small market town took Beigong Yu an hour to capture it, but he got nothing.

Beigong Bo's desolate singing came from the lookout, accompanied by the crackling sound of firewood burning into everyone's ears. Although the Qiang Knights were all accompanied by Beigong Bo, they also got off the horse at this time, with a solemn expression.

The candidate for the captain who came with Beigong Yu was a little confused.

"King, what's wrong with them? What's that guy singing?"

Beigong Yu looked sad, "He was singing the song he and his sister-in-law loved to sing the most back then. It was a song selected by her sister-in-law from the Yuefu, and it was replaced by Qiang language... It was about a story about a man and a woman, and many people like to listen to it."

"It's just a song, it's so nice."

"I don't know, but he and that woman like to sing, and many people like to listen." Beigong Yu remembered a lot. Looking at the raging flames, he suddenly remembered the past when he was young when he was a child. From the first time he swung his sword and the first time he shot an archery, he kept his brother's teachings. Later, he had a sister-in-law and was very nice to him...but as he got older, his ambitions grew bigger and bigger, and eventually developed into today's results.

Brother, if you could have such determination in the past, how dare I have a delusion?

Beigong Yu got off his horse and bowed to the burning observation deck three times. From then on, he was Beigong Boyu. Po Qiang no longer had Beigong Bo and Beigong Yu, but only him, Beigong Boyu... the future King of Northwest Qiang.

"not good!"

After Beigong Boyu got on the horse, he suddenly screamed, "The Dong family's cub didn't appear from beginning to end, could it be..."

The candidate nodded, "It must be that troll who escaped."

"You can't let that boy go!" Beigong Boyu's face showed a look of fear, "If you let that boy go, it's no less than letting the tiger go back to the mountain."

The candidate smiled and said, "Don't worry, lord has sent someone to block the roads towards Lintao... Even if the troll has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to escape from the net of heaven and earth set by Mr. Wen Yue. You and I just want to worry."

"No, I'm always hard to feel at ease if I don't see his body with my own eyes."

After Beigong Boyu finished speaking, he immediately called someone to send a scout to inquire. Although the candidate did not stop him, he showed a sneer in his eyes.

Just like this, I still want to be the King of Qiang? Hehe, if it weren't for the help of you, then let you be rampant here.

After Dong Qi and his group left the market town, they rode their horses and galloped.

The elephant dragon is worthy of being a celestial horse. It is as fast as lightning and has a very strong endurance. It ran alongside the lion-maned beast.

After running for a full incense stick, Dong Qi stopped the horse.

The lion-maned beast spewed out aerosols, and the object dragon kept screaming, as if it was very dissatisfied.

Dong Qi smiled and patted the head of the lion-maned beast, "A Chou, don't make trouble again. When you grow up, you will definitely win it."

The elephant dragon under his crotch seemed to understand Dong Qi's words, and sniffed, expressing dissatisfaction.

Yes, when the lion-maned beast grows up, the elephant dragon will almost pass its peak period. As one goes down and the other goes up, there is a bit of unfair suspicion. Dong Qi bent down, hugged the elephant dragon's neck and said in its ear: "But you are my good partner now."

The elephant dragon roared, and seemed to be very satisfied with Dong Qi's attitude.

About another hour passed, and Dong Qi looked at everyone's fatigue. Looking at the sky, it was already noon, but the dark clouds rolled, and it looked like the sky would change at any time. He put on a pergola in his hand and looked forward, but he could only see a vast snow-white area.

"Luyi, bring the map my brother-in-law gave you."

Lu Yi responded, rode his horse over, and took out a cowhide from his arms. There were many lines drawn on it. Dong Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while, then put away the map and said, "Everyone rushed forward. There seemed to be a valley in front... Looking at the sky, there might be a storm. We must arrive at the valley before the storm appears to avoid the wind and snow."

In this way, everyone started running again.

In the snow, it is difficult for horses to run. The ground is slippery and often there is a phenomenon of horses stumbled, which caused some war horses to be forced to give up halfway. Fortunately, before departure, Beigong Bo prepared two horses for them. So although he lost more than a dozen horses, it did not cause any serious damage. Before noon, he found the valley.

The wind and snow finally arrived, and the whole world became unclear.

Dong Qi asked Dong Zhao to settle everyone to rest and eat, but he climbed the hills with Lu Yi and Dong Tie.

Looking around, the plains in the storm have a more cold and solemn atmosphere.

Dong Qi was expressionless and stood on the hill without moving. The black cloak on his body was even more rustling in the wind.

"Young Master, let's go down."

"No, I want to stay here alone for a while. Lu Yi, you and Dong Tie go down to eat something. When the storm passes, we still have to hurry up."

"Young master doesn't rest, and Lu Yi doesn't rest."

Lu Yi held the dragon headguai given to her by the old lady in her hand, which looked a bit out of place. But her tone was very firm. Dong Qi persuaded her several times. Seeing that the girl's stubbornness came up, she really couldn't persuade her to leave.

The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, and the little girl is trembling in the wind.

Dong Qi sighed helplessly, took off his cloak and put it on the little girl, "I'm convinced you, let's go back."

Just as the two turned around, Dong Tie suddenly stopped and turned his head to look.

"Xiao Tie, what's wrong?"

Dong Tie listened in a slight manner while answering absent-mindedly: "Master, have you heard any sound?"

"sound?"

Dong Qi shook his head and said, "I didn't hear any sound!"

"It's the neighing of horses... the neighing of horses from that direction, and there seem to be a lot of them."

Dong Qi listened carefully and heard a little unusual movement. It was the sound of the horse neighing, which was faintly visible and very weak. In addition, the whistling of the wind completely covered up the horse neighing that was not clear. If Dong Tie hadn't had good ears, Dong Qi wouldn't have cared. However, who would have been on the way with such heavy wind and snow?

"Xiao Tie, take a few people over and take a look!"

"Abide by the order!"

Dong Tie immediately ran down the hill, called a few people in the valley, and ran towards the direction the horse's neighing.

They did not ride horses and walked away. They left footprints on the snow, but were quickly covered by the storm.

Dong Qi and Lu Yi hurried down the hill and gathered people to wait for the order. About half a stick of incense was passed, and Dong Tie came back with his men. He also caught a prisoner with him. He looked as if he was dressed as a Qiang man, but he was different from the Qiang man that Dong Qi had seen.

Dong Zhao's face changed and he said in Dong Qi's ear: "Lord, look at his dress, it seems like he is burning to the Qiang."

The Qiang people were numerous in the northwest, occupying most of the Xiliang area since the Eastern Han Dynasty, with numerous tribes and countless tribes.

The Qiang people are not all nomadic people. Some people are farming, fishing and hunting, influenced by the Central Plains culture, and have a close relationship with the Han people. Sixty percent of the Qiang people near Lintao belong to the farming Qiang, also known as the grass-eating Qiang. Some of them live in mountains, also called mountain Qiang. In short, the life forms are different, so Dong Qiong cannot remember them completely.

What is the origin of this Shaodang Qiang?

"Lord, Shaodang Qiang is located between Eling Lake and Jishi Mountain, and is a semi-nomadic Qiang. Because the territory of Shaodang Qiang is complex and has many hills and mountains, at least many people are engaged in farming, fishing and hunting, and have great strength."

“How big is it?”

A man from Qiang said, "There are more people than us, but if you want to fight, you will be 80% pounds."

"Have you ever fought?"

The people of Po Qiang said: "Shaodang Qiang is separated from us by a water, and we have fought many wars for the grassland. But sometimes they win, and sometimes we win. Since the king took charge of Po Qiang, we have never lost them. Once we even reached Eling Lake... If they weren't for their large population and their terrain was complex, they might have destroyed them."

Dong Qi heard this and looked at the burnt man.

Eling Lake, Jishi Mountain? But strictly counted here, it should be the territory of Po Qiang, how did Shaodang come over?

"Dong Zhao, ask him clearly why they are and why they appear here."

As he said that, he took out the cowhide map and searched for a while, he suddenly stomped his feet in anger, "There is no Jishi Mountain here."

"Young Master, then take a look at this one!"

Lu Yi quickly took out a map from her arms, which was obviously several times larger than the map just now, and was made of complete cowhide. Moreover, the graphics on the map were tanned using a very special technique and would not fade.

Dong Qi asked strangely: "Where did this come from?"

"Young Master, have you forgotten? This is something brought by the master, and it is a map of the northwest region drawn by General Ma back then."

General Ma? Dong Qi didn't react for a while.

Lu Yi blew in his ear like orchid, "It's General Fu Bo."

"ah……"

Dong Qi suddenly realized. When he left Lintao, the old lady said that Cheng Fang had already gone home and handed over all the things to Lu Yi. There was definitely no way to carry the bamboo slips with him. However, the northwest region map left by Ma Yuan was carried by this little girl. I don’t know what she was thinking, but it was very useful.

"Luyi, it's done well!"

Dong Qiong praised him, spread the map completely and searched carefully with his fingers on it.

Lu Yi was naturally overjoyed when she received Dong Qi's praise. Her face was flushed, and she didn't know if it was cold or excited.
