Chapter 77: Boy riding a cow

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the stars are twinkling.

Dong Qi and Dian Wei galloped under the moonlight and rushed towards Wuling.

Originally, Zhang Ji's disciples said that they would equip them with hundreds of official troops, but Dong Qi refused. Even the trolls stayed in Changsha, and the two and four horsemen rode on the road. He rushed along the way and ran for two or three hundred miles before stopping.

There was no trace of people on the road, and the surrounding wilderness was even more cold.

Dong Qi held the horse and suddenly asked, "Brother Dian, what day is today?"

Dian Wei didn't react at first, and then calculated with his fingers and said with a smile: "The eighth day of the first lunar month is the eighth day of the first lunar month. Why did you suddenly ask about the day? I have never seen you ask along the way."

Dong Qi smiled and said, "Brother Dian, we are the only ones here. Don't always call me lord, the lord's call me. I have never regarded you as a subordinate, but regard you as your brother. You can still call me that in front of others. In private, you can call me A Chou or call me brother. It's much easier to listen to this than the word "lord"."

Dian Wei looked extremely excited.

"...How can this be done? You are the son of the prefect and have a noble birth. Lao Dian is born in poverty and humbleness. I don't know how happy I am to be your division. How can I call you... No, I'd better call your lord."

Dong Qi smiled and kicked off his horse.

"Brother Dian, let's take a break, talk and then go on the road?"

"good!"

Dong Qi didn't care about the horse because there was an elephant dragon, and it seemed like a horse king. Other horses would follow him very obediently.

The elephant dragon followed Dong Qi leisurely, biting the buds of the small trees on the roadside.

Dong Qi stopped by a stream, took out a piece of clean brocade from his pocket, dipped it in water, and wiped it on his face.

He immediately became energetic and Dong Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Dian, I'll wipe my face, so I'll relieve my fatigue."

Dian Wei nodded, took the brocade, carefully wiped his face twice, and washed it in the stream.

Just as he was about to hand it to Dong Qi, he heard Dong Qi say, "Brother Dian, in your eyes, Zhi is the son of the prefect, extremely noble. But you know that in the eyes of those wealthy literati and officials, he is as humble as an ant. Haha, to put it nicely, he is called the good son of the six counties, but to put it bluntly, I am a despicable husband. In their eyes, there is not much difference between you and me."

Dian Wei froze and looked at Dong Qi.

He was a commoner living at the bottom of society, and there was even less contact with the scholars and officials. In his eyes, a Sui Yang Order was a very noble person. Not to mention a son of a prefect who was a salary of 2,000 s, he must have been sought after when he went there. He wore a wealth of food and food, and had a lot of slaves and was tall. This was Dian Wei's feeling.

Scholars and officials? What is the Scholars and officials?

Anger rose from my heart, and Dian Wei clenched his fists tightly: Scholar, can I be as brave as my lord?

Dong Qi looked away, raised his head and looked at the bright stars in the night sky.

"Speaking of this, you may not believe it. Just before I met you, I suffered a humiliation in Yingchuan that I had never experienced in my life. Even a servant from a literati and official family dared to point at my nose and curse. A group of scholars with no power drove me out of Yingchuan City... If it weren't for Mr. Bo Ji, I might have become a prisoner now."

Dian Wei stared at the sight of horror, his eyes widened, and his hair and beard were wide open.

"Brother, don't say it... Who dares to treat you like this? Tell Lao Dian, Lao Dian will kill them all."

Dong Qi laughed, "Brother Dian, I am satisfied with your words. But I must avenge my revenge. As long as I am still alive, I take my what I owe and owe me, I will take it back one by one... I actually want to tell you that there is no difference between me and you. I regard you as my brother, but I don't know if you treat me as my brother?"

"Of course, you are my brother!"

Dian Wei shouted excitedly, dancing as if afraid that Dong Qi would misunderstand.

Dong Qi smiled again. He leaned on his head and his hands, lying by the stream and looked at the stars in the sky. "It's the eighth day of the first lunar month, and I'm already fourteen years old... Last year's birthday, I moved in the northwest; I didn't expect that this year, I moved in the Central Plains again. Brother, sometimes I think that things in this world are like a circle, the beginning is the end."

Dian Wei can understand the words at the beginning.

But later, he didn't understand very much. He was able to sit next to Dong Qi, giggling silly.

"Brother, do you understand what I mean?"

Dian Wei nodded with a smile and immediately shook his head vigorously, "I don't understand, but what you said seems to make sense. I can't say what it means, but I understand in my heart... I really don't lie to you, I really understand."

Dong Qi rubbed his nose, sat up and said, "It doesn't matter if you understand or not, what's important is that we are brothers."

"Yes, we are brothers!"

"Hahaha, that's enough... Let's go, Brother Dian, let's get on the road!"

The two of them stood up and got on their horses. Both of them had quick smiles on their faces. They looked at each other and rode their horses and whipped them.

"Brother Dian, let's compete with your feet!"

Dong Qi's voice echoed in the night sky, followed by a long hiss from the elephant dragon.

"Brother, you're so mean... Your horse is so good, how could you run first?"

Dian Wei shouted loudly, and the sound of horse hooves echoed over the empty wilderness for a long time.

*******

Seeing Wuling Mountain again, Dong Qi held his mount.

It feels like being close to the hometown. Although this Wuling Mountain is not the same Wuling Mountain. Today's Wuling Mountain is completely different from Wuling Mountain 1,800 years later. According to scientific saying, the earth's crust is always moving, even if it is only a millimeter apart every year, it will be enough to make this steep and dangerous mountain range look like another in 1,800 years.

One thousand eight hundred years later, there is no such wonderful bird cry in the mountains.

One thousand eight hundred years later, the water is not as clear as it is, the trees are not as lush as it is, and even the roads are not as rugged as it is.

It's already dawn.

At dawn, a small drizzle fell on Wuling Mountain. When the sun rose, the unique rain and fog of Wuling Mountain also rose. The rain was like silk, and the fog turned into yarn, decorating Wuling Mountain like a graceful girl.

So beautiful!

Dong Qi's eyes were wet... What kind of luck was this to see the rain and fog that was 1,800 years ago?

Dian Wei didn't understand what Dong Qi was thinking at this moment, but he didn't come forward to disturb him. He knew that this ugly brother looked very rough and rude, but in fact he had a delicate and sentimental heart.

"Brother, let's go into the mountain!"

Before leaving, Zhang Ji's students found a cowhide map from the Changsha Prefecture Office. The map was made by the Changsha Prefecture Office more than 30 years ago. At that time, the barbarians of Wuxi rebelled and the prefect of Changsha was ordered to be comforted. However, he knew the temperament of the barbarians of Wuxi, so while he was summoning, he ordered his followers to secretly draw a topographic map of the barbarians of Wuxi.

The residence points of the Wuxi Barbarians are clearly marked, and even no water or stone are left behind.

After entering the mountain, Dong Qi expanded the map and quickly found their current destination. But the Wuxi barbarians lived almost half of the Wuling Mountain. If it was roughly calculated, it was thousands of square miles. The vast mountains and the vast sea of ​​people... Who was the one who kidnapped Zhang Ji? Where was he tied to? Dong Qi didn't know at all.

I smiled bitterly in my heart: This heroic complex is really unbearable. People clearly said that they had free treatment and didn't have to rescue Zhang Ji by themselves. But they just wanted to be heroic. What kind of heroic performance should be? If they couldn't do it well, they would die in these dangerous mountains and ridges.

"Brother, how do we find it?"

Dong Qi scratched his head, put away the map and smiled bitterly: "I don't know either. Wuxi Man Man's thirty-six holes, let's look for each other one by one. Brother, don't easily deal with people when you encounter something. Otherwise, things will become complicated."

Dian Wei nodded, "Don't worry, brother, this is my husband!"

The two of them got on their horses again and walked slowly along the mountain path. The iron hooves stepped on the mountain path and made a crisp sound. After about half a stick of incense, a bell sound came from the end of the mountain path. Dingdang, Dingdang, very nice.

A cow appeared in the mountain bay.

The cow is black all over, without a single hair, and looks shiny and very powerful.

It is huge, at least twice as big as an ordinary cow, and even half a head taller than an elephant dragon. It has a pair of huge and sharp horns that bent downwards, and its eyes have a faint red light. It is roughly estimated that the cow weighs at least one thousand pounds.

The cow's back is high in front and low in the back, and there are two raised bones in the front part of the back. The back is smooth, and his tail is swinging when he walks.

Dong Qi didn't recognize what kind of cow this was, but he could also know that this cow was definitely a fierce temperament.

However, what really surprised him was not the cow itself. Is the cow fierce or the cow? Could it be that it can turn into a tiger?

Dong Qi and Dian Wei were surprised that they were the person sitting on the cow's back.

The cow jumped off, and it should be about nine feet tall, which is almost the same as Dong Qi. The one who gave birth to a tiger's back and bear's waist, a red face like a lacquer, and a pair of eagle eyes, revealing blue light. A chaotic yellow hair spread on his shoulders. He sat on the back of the cow, and a handful of caltrop bones weighing about a hundred kilograms were placed horizontally on the shoulder blades in front of the cow's back, with murderous intent and majestic.

Seeing this person, Dong Qi and Dian Wei breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

As soon as he thrust his back, his spirit came. Why? This guy is so ugly. The ugly guy has both developed strong self-confidence with people like Dong Qi and Dian Wei. Do you want to ask how ugly he is? It can't be said. Anyway, if he says second, Dong Qi believes that he is not the first.

These three ugly people are on the mountain road. Look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks first.

Behind the man, there were about fifty barbarian infantrymen. Perhaps because he was used to the appearance of his master, when he saw Dong Qi and Dian Wei, no one showed a surprised expression. He stopped silently.

The other party is not very old!

It can be seen from his bare chin and the short and thin fuzz around his lips that at most it is similar to Dong Qi.

Since he was born, Dong Qi has never seen such a top-notch, and he is the best-notch one at the age of his.

Dong Qi and Dian Wei urged the horse at the same time, and the boy on the cow also activated the cow under his crotch.

The three of them stopped when they were twenty steps apart, and after looking up and down again, a confident smile appeared on the face of the boy opposite.

All three of them were smiling. Dong Qi bowed and was about to speak, but the other party took the lead in speaking.

"The two ugly ghosts on the other side, don't you know if the Han people are not welcome here? If you want to survive, you should just withdraw quickly."

Dong Qi has become numb, and it is not the first time he has been called an ugly ghost anyway.

It’s just that being called an ugly ghost by such an ugly person is a little uncomfortable.

He snorted coldly, "That monster, you and other barbarians are not convinced of the education and rebelled repeatedly. Now they are attacking Changsha and still kidnapped the prefect of Changsha. Are you not afraid of national laws? Listen to my good words and hand over the people out quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for Mazhai Wuxi Barbarians."

"Bah, you are the monster!"

The young man was furious and took off the caltrop bones, pointed at Dong Qi, saying, "You ugly ghost don't know how to live or die, but you dare to speak wildly and even step on me on Wuxi Man? Today, let Shasha teach you a lesson, so that you can't help but save you from being overwhelmed."

Dong Qi was not showing weakness and took off his double hammer from another horse.
