Hearing her words, Li Qinglu's fair face instantly turned bright red. She felt that she hadn't blushed as many times in her life as she did today.
Song Qingshu was also speechless for a while: "It's enough for you to be old and disrespectful."
Li Qiushui took the opportunity to say: "An old maid who has been holding her back all her life will inevitably feel a little bored in her heart."
Tianshan Child Elder said angrily: "What did you bastard say! They are the two of them who spent the whole night here by themselves."
Even though he was thick-skinned over the city wall, Song Qingshu couldn't bear it anymore: "Okay, okay, I'll go to Jietan Temple to explain something, and I'll come out to meet you soon." After speaking, he left without waiting for their reaction. It turned out that the group had arrived near the Jietan Temple at this time, and Song Qingshu's trip to help them save Wu Yazi would definitely take a while, so naturally he had to explain clearly to Mu Wanqing and Yelu Nanxian first.
Looking at his disappearing back, the remaining three people looked at each other, Li Qiushui muttered to himself: "I remember Jietan Temple is now..."
Tianshan Child Elder gloated a little: "Your grandson-in-law is not simple, but your temperament is somewhat similar to yours." She had worked with Li Liangzuo before, so she naturally knew what was going on at Jietan Temple.
Li Qiushui knew that she was referring to Song Qingshu's mercilessness to ridicule her flirtatious nature, and said indifferently, "A capable man has three wives and four concubines." Although she is also a member of the Jianghu, she spends most of her time in the Xixia Palace , I am used to seeing those things in the harem, but I take it for granted.
Tianshan Child Elder snorted, this time she did not refute for the first time, she has been able to gain insight into human nature for most of her life, so she naturally knows the rules of this world.
It didn't take long before Song Qingshu came back. He told Mu Wanqing and Yelu Nanxian about the time when he would come back, and also asked the two to be careful during this period. Going first is the best, and at the same time told them some of the footholds of the Golden Snake Camp on the Xixia side. Over the past year, he has secretly integrated the resources of Qing Guojiao, Jin Guo Huanyiyuan, Liao Guo Tiyin Division, and Wuhumen. Manpower has also been deployed, although it cannot affect the overall situation, it is not a big problem to protect and hide one or two people.
Seeing him coming back, Li Qiushui asked with a half-smile: "Is it the princess of Tiandu or the future queen that you meet at Jietan Temple?" There is no shortage of beautiful women, but those two women are the only ones in the entire Mu family who can be attracted by Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu hadn't answered yet, but Tianshan Child Elder said, "I think it's probably the future queen. Although the princess is beautiful, she's a bit older after all."
"Actually not a few years older than me." Song Qingshu subconsciously said, and at the same time looked a little weird, thinking that you are in your nineties, and also said that people are in their early thirties, why does it sound so weird.
"It's really Qin Hongmian?" Now it was Li Qiushui's turn to be surprised, and even Li Qinglu who was on the side looked sideways.
"Of course not, it's Mu Wanqing." There's nothing to deny these things, and sooner or later they will know.
Although there were speculations before, but when they heard him admit it, several people still showed shocked expressions. After a long time, Tianshan Child Elder gave a thumbs up: "Boy Song, you are amazing!"
Li Qiushui couldn't help laughing coquettishly: "Speaking of which, Qinglu and I have to thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Song Qingshu was startled, thinking that Li Qinglu would be thankful if she wasn't jealous, how could she thank me.
Li Qinglu, who was silent for a while, also spoke this time: "Miss Mu is the future queen appointed by Li Liangzuo. You took his queen away and gave us a big sigh of relief. How could we not be grateful to you?"
Song Qingshu thought to himself that the customs here in Xixia are really unpredictable, but this feeling seems... quite cool
Next, a group of people bought more than a dozen horses and started heading east. Lingzhou is a horse producing area, and it is easy to pick good horses. As for why the four of them bought so many horses, it was mainly for the purpose of riding. multiplied.
People in later generations may subconsciously think that horseback riding is much faster than human beings. Song Qingshu only gradually figured out the situation when he came to this world. In a short period of time, cavalry soldiers are naturally far faster than infantry soldiers, but human endurance is better than horses, and The time to rest and eat is shorter. Horses are herbivores, and the conversion rate of grazing is low. They often need to eat grass for several hours and rest for almost a day to recover. Therefore, ancient marches often have a very funny situation. Infantry After the cavalry ran together for seven or eight days, the infantry had to stop and wait for the cavalry to catch up...
In history, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard rider chased Liu Bei for three hundred miles a day. This speed is indeed faster than humans, but this speed cannot last. If it runs like this for two consecutive days, the tiger and leopard rider will be useless. Yes, Xia Houyuan led an army of 500 in three days, and a thousand in six days. Sima Yi attacked Mengda with 1,200 miles in eight days. It can be learned that it is not certain who is faster on horseback or infantry during a long and rapid march.
In the Han Dynasty, there were fewer units per mile than in later generations. The modern record of infantry marching in a hurry is that the volunteers ran 72 kilometers in 14 hours. 72 kilometers is the straight-line distance on the map. The actual distance is a mountain road, so the distance is more than this. number.
Of course, if a local tyrant like Mongolia can have a cavalry with three horses and change at any time, then the marching speed will be far faster than that of infantry. It is a pity that most cavalry teams in history did not have this national strength to prepare so many horses, one horse per person That's pretty good.
In fact, if Song Qingshu was alone, it would be faster to perform lightness kung fu, but firstly, running like this is too tiring, and secondly, the few people who accompanied him were injured, and the Sangong of Sangong would definitely not be able to keep up with his footsteps.
That's why he bought more than a dozen horses in one go, just to learn from Mongolia's Western Expedition, so that he can travel at the highest speed all the time. After all, Xixia still has a lot of things to deal with, and he doesn't want to delay too long.
The group of people went east without stopping. On the way, Tianshan Child Elder and Li Qiushui did not argue for the first time. Instead, they inquired about the affairs between Song Qingshu and Mu Wanqing together. Even Li Qinglu seemed to be gossiping.
Song Qingshu didn't want to talk to him at first, but unfortunately the three women kept pestering him to ask, so he had no choice but to tell about the various things between the two of them, and the time passed quickly.
It was almost noon, Tianshan Child Elder, who was listening to the gossip with great interest, suddenly exclaimed, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and immediately fell off the horse. under.
Fortunately, Song Qingshu had quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed her belt and lifted her up: "What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Tianshan Child Elder's face was pale, trembling all over, she didn't even notice that she was being hugged by the other party at this time: "Blood, I want to drink blood..."
"My lord, she has committed an old problem, giggling~" Li Qiushui on the side gloated and laughed.
Tianshan Child Elder didn't have time to argue with her at all, but just fixed her eyes on the horses she was carrying, as if she was going to pounce on them and take a bite at any moment.
Song Qingshu frowned: "That's not okay, whether you can find Wuyazi sooner or not depends on them."
"I want blood!" Hearing his words, Tianshan Child Elder seemed to lose her mind, twisting her body in his arms and struggling desperately.
