Mosanchuan is located to the east of Gedal. It is famous for the continuous flow of Sanchuan into the desert. There are dozens of miles of desert and Gobi, and only Hutong is dotted into pieces. At this moment, it was already dark in Yedu, and it was still evening here.
Xiao Chiye rested his arms and watched the last sunset.
The sky in Mo Sanchuan is too vast. If you lie on the sand and watch for a long time, you will have the illusion that you are being embraced by the sky. The setting sun is like flowing syrup, and the viscous light floods the earth.
He suddenly fell to Xiao Chiye's side and jumped to his chest. With the grass core in his mouth, he was stomped on and his chest sank, and he spat out the grass core.
"Hey," Xiao Chiye said, "you are so heavy, brother."
He tilted his head sharply, staring at him with one eye.
Xiao Chiye could only free up one arm, and touched it randomly. He whistled at Lang Tao Xue Lai, who was drinking water by the stream, and motioned for Lang Tao Xue Lai to come and play hard. Lang Taoxue stepped on his front hooves, turned his butt and continued to drink water.
The iron cavalry had been stationed here for a few days, and Lu Guangbai took off his helmet and walked over, patting his body with sand.
"Master Xiao," Lu Guang's neck was wet with sweat, and he followed Xiao Chiye's line of sight to the west, "You are leisurely."
"That's not true, my heart is bitter," Xiao Chiye pointed to the west with a sharp finger, "My wife is over there, I wash my face with tears every day, looking forward to my return home."
"Mark it down for him," Lu Guangbai threw the helmet to Chen Yang, "Go back and tell your lord to see who washed his face with tears."
Xiao Chiye waited for Lu Guangbai to sit down and asked, "What did the Meng Tuo Department say?"
"It's the same," Lu Guangbai held his knees. "Bayal is determined to betroth your daughter to you. If you don't want his daughter, he will refuse to join the Libei Iron Cavalry Alliance."
"Bayar, this old camel," Xiao Chiye sat up, the sand on his back slipped a little, and he looked at Lu Guangbai, "He wants to give me his daughter, just because he is afraid that I will cross the river and demolish the bridge, and want a woman to trap me. If I really don't talk about friendship, he will give me his wife, and I will still kill him."
Lu Guangbai nodded at Xiao Chiye and said, "If you use this expression to see him, of course he is afraid."
Xiao Chi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don't ask him."
"Be stubborn," Lu Guangbai said, "Mengluo's territory is blocked at the mouth of Ximokou of Mosanchuan. We can't win Bayar, and if we fight Amur, we will be in danger of falling into siege."
"Then tell him," Xiao Chiye hugged his shoulders, "I have a tiger in my family, and my wife is strictly controlled."
"He even prepared his daughter's dowry, so he was waiting to enter the door to honor this 'eldest lady'." Lu Guangbai was deeply worried and couldn't help laughing, "Everyone loves Xiao Ce'an."
Bayar's preferred son-in-law in the past was Ha Sen, but Ha Sen insisted on marrying Doerlan from the Hulu tribe, so he had a rift with the Mengluo tribe. When Hasen died in battle and Xiao Chiye came to talk about the alliance, Bayar stood on the sand dune, seeing Xiao Chiye's tall stature, outstanding temperament, and the Libei head wolf who killed Hassen, he moved his mind to marry his daughter. .
"The Hulu Department retreated to the shore of Chiti Lake, why did it come back?"
"You killed Hassan," Lu Guangbai said. "His wife rode a horse to the east, brought back the bear warriors who were scattered by you, and asked the people who returned to Chiti Lake to help Amur again. Duoerlan was in the desert. Before the Rainbow Eagle Banner, I swore to kill you."
Xiao Chiye thought of the red roses that floated away with the water before Hassan died.
"Also," Lu Guangbai restrained his smile, "Duo Erlan became pregnant before she went east. It was Ha Sen's posthumous belly."
Xiao Chiye tied his arms silently, the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared, and there was a brief silence in the sky. There was neither the sun nor the moon, and the heavy blue covered the sky. The eagle pierced the flag, and the long hair fluttering in the wind scattered under this blue sky, and Duoerlan supported her lower abdomen.
Bayin covered Duoerlan with thick clothes and persuaded: "The night is very cold, go back."
"My husband is in the west," Doerlan raised her head, watching the goshawk fly by in the wind, and said softly, "When will my eagle come back?"
Bayin couldn't bear to see her like this and wanted to wipe away her tears.
"The wolf from Libei killed my brother and killed my husband." Doerlan's green eyes were filled with hatred, "Ba Yin, he's here to kill my child," she covered her stomach and stepped back. With two steps, he said, "I want to protect my child."
"Russian and Ri will not let Xiao Chiye hurt you," Bayin said softly, "Neither will your father, Da Mo will protect you together, because this is Hassan's child."
"You're wrong, Bayin, look at Da Mo with the eyes of a wise man, there are already three cavalry that have followed him." Duoerlan almost retracted into her large robe, her thin chin was hidden in it, and she was melancholy. Tears welled up in his eyes, "Bayal even gave his own daughter to our enemy in order to seek peace. No one can protect me except Hassan."
There was sadness on Bayin's dark face, "I didn't fulfill Hassan's entrustment and was deceived by the Bears. I was Hassan's wise man, but I didn't give him the honor he deserved. Xiao Chiye came to the desert, Duoerlan , we will get our revenge."
Bayin took off the dagger on his waist, held it in his palm, and handed it to Duoerlan.
"I swear."

My wolf cub sees a letter like a face.
The bed in Ibaraki has been idle recently, and I stayed with the army, so I couldn't sleep well.
Xiao Chiye looked at those words by the bonfire, the sourness in his chest melted away and turned into another kind of bittersweet that was missed. When Lan Zhou closed the door, all he slept on was Xiao Ce'an's chest. Without him, no matter how good the bed, Lan Zhou would not be able to sleep well. Xiao Chiye picked up his other hand and walked immediately, took a sip, and poured the emotion on his chest, so as not to express himself too much. He was drinking and watching.
The master left the knife with me, and the old minister Shao Chengbi was killed in battle. Everything is in order, everything is under control, don't worry. The expedition is tough, you must take care. Erlang, if a battle can be won, there will be no separation every year after that. Home in winter with a warm spring tent, I miss you to sleep.
Xiao Chiye put down his wine bag, and when he saw the bottom, Shen Zechuan used a pen to hook a fox with a drooping ear and a tail, and couldn't help laughing.
Lu Guangbai smashed Xiao Chiye with a taro, and Xiao Chiye caught it.
"It's almost November," Lu Guangbai peeled the taro to eat, "What can you do about Mengluo's affairs?"
The location of the Mengluo Department is special. The leader, Bayar, has a batch of camels. If he goes to follow Amur, then Amur's food dilemma at this time can be alleviated. Whether it is a horse from Libei or a horse from Qidong, it is actually not suitable for long distances in the desert. If Bayar can bring Mengluo's troops to join the Libei Iron Cavalry, it will not only be beneficial to the transportation of military rations during the war, but also to the mutual market in the future.
"Since he is afraid that I will turn his face and not recognize him," Xiao Chiye untied the bag that came with the letter, and inside it was beef jerky, he threw the bag with the Lu character written on it to Lu Guangbai, "then I will turn my face and not recognize people."
Lu Guangbai is polite, Xiao Chiye doesn't need to continue being polite. He has 90,000 iron cavalry, 10,000 forbidden troops, and 20,000 side county garrison troops. He didn't come here to negotiate peace. The sweetness of Huiyan's department has been given, and if you take Joe again, he will use a big stick.
"Tell Bayar," Xiao Chiye said, putting the beef jerky into his mouth, "I'm rushing home for the New Year. If he wants to sink with Amur, I'll give him a ride tonight."
Chen Yang nodded and ordered, and stepped back to call someone to spread the word.

Once the army retreated, no one was stationed in Dan City. When the Dunzhou garrison entered the city, the whole city was silent, and there were countless rumors about Shen Zechuan, the ruler of Zhongbo's house, some terrifying and some respectable.
Tantai Hu knew very well the need to appease people's hearts. He suffered a loss from Liu Kong, and this time he specially brought his own brother to ban the army, so that he would not disturb the people in Dan City at night or shock the people during the day.
Yao Wenyu has been at his desk for more than a month, and today he followed Shen Zechuan for a walk near Dan City, looking at the mottled marks on the city wall, and said: "Dan City is in danger, Luo Mu has already brought the garrison to Hezhou, and the next step It's hard to fight. I heard the news this morning that Qi Shiyu sent letters from the family three times, and urgently urged the commander who is still in Tianfei's palace to go home."
"Qi Shiyu is paralyzed on the bed and can't bring soldiers," Shen Zechuan basked in the sun, today is a rare sunny day, "The men in the family are not as good as Qi Zhuyin, he really wants to remove Qi Zhuyin's post of commander-in-chief, but also Qi Zhuyin's commander-in-chief military power. ."
Qi Dong's key lies in Qi Zhuyin, so he must be able to attack Qi Shiyu.
"Qi Shiyu is swaying among the poor families of the aristocratic family, as long as the government is willing to give him a promise," Yao Wenyu turned the four-wheeled car, "The power of the dragon far exceeds the ability of the car."
The article must be done, Shao Chengbi sent troops to defeat, and Qi Du has long been in chaos. This is good, Li Jianting is not right, and neither is Shen Zechuan.
"Qi Shiyu is seasoned and knows the interests best. I told him at the moment that it is from Long Zhi Gong, but he may not dare to answer."
Shen Zechuan is willing to give Luo Mu this piece of money.
The food in Chazhou was put by Shen Zechuan, Cai Yu was removed by Shen Zechuan, and then the revival of various industries was helped by Shen Zechuan. Luo Mu ran so fast because he couldn't pry it. He used to follow Cai Yu, but now all he can take away are rogues.
"But I want Jiang Qingshan," Shen Zechuan looked back, "I don't know that Xue Xiuzhuo is reluctant to give up."
* * *
Qi Du became more and more bleak. Seeing that November was about to enter, the streets were deserted a lot. The news that the traitor had hit Pill City had spread all over the place. If there were no capital troops stationed in the city, there would be chaos. Even so, the hearts are still floating.
Kong Qiu changed into a thicker robe, and before entering the palace, he said to Cen Yu, "The snow will fall early this year."
Cen Yu looked up at the sky, but couldn't tell for a while whether Kong Qiu was talking about this day or Da Zhou. He sighed and raised his arm to persuade, "Let's go."
"I wrote a letter to Qi Shiyu, and he asked his son to come back," Kong Qiu stepped up, "he said that he was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed."
"It's really time for his illness to get worse." Cen Yu sneered while carrying his robe.
Kong Qiu slowed his pace and said, "Qi Shiyu is a cunning and cunning man. It is better to say he is wise to protect himself. Qi Zhuyin is not going to fight. He is very clear at home. He has to wait until we write a letter before he pretends to scold." He sighed, "This is going around the corner and raising the price with us."
"Look, the emperor really sealed it as he wished," Cen Yu said, "he doesn't dare to ask for it again!"
"I still have to send someone who can speak well," Kong Qiu stepped over the threshold. "I originally thought of Chong Shenxing, but he is not qualified enough to be able to hold back in front of Qi Shiyu. It is Wan Xiao who chooses to choose."
When Cen Yu heard Jiang Qingshan's name, he remembered it and said, "The letter from Wan Xiaocai said that his wife is pregnant, so he shouldn't be traveling far now."
"There is no one in the court, so he won't go," Kong Qiu raised his finger and pointed at the palace wall, "Shen Zechuan will be here. I heard that Wan Xiao's mother is very affectionate, but he can't do it, let the old lady speak to him, if he can't, let Wan Xiao Take the lady with you."
Jiang Qingshan's wife, Liu Niang, was pregnant, and she was favored by a man in the rivers and lakes. She cherished it at home, but there were orders from the imperial court, and he had to obey. Originally, the road was long, and he refused to take Liu Niang to suffer setbacks, but he left Liu Niang at home, and he did not know what kind of grievance his mother would give Liu Niang. In the end, after thinking about it, I still brought people along.
As soon as Jiang Qingshan left here, the one over there also left.
Since Ding Tao came to Qidong, she met Qi Zhuyin, who was rushing back to be scolded.
"Fu Jun said, I heard that the old coach and the eldest lady have been ill recently," Ding Tao saluted Qi Zhuyin, "Fu lord has nothing to give, so he asked me to bring his doctor to the old marshal and the eldest lady to see."
Qi Zhuyin sees that since she is quiet and natural, not stage fright, and has a special charm, she really has a bit of fairy spirit. She said: "Shen Zechuan is really nobody, and even you have come out to do business."
"I don't know, Commander, I was the second master's guard a few years ago," Ding Tao said since he had led him to Qi Zhuyin, "This is a closed disciple of Master Yideng."
Qi Zhuyin was moved by the word "Yi Deng". Seeing that she was young, she said, "...The old man has a rest today. I'll say hello to the backyard in a while, and someone will come to pick him up."
Ding Tao and Sincere salute together.
* * *
"The eldest lady is very smart, and she is familiar with the account books, so she can do mental calculations," Yao Wenyu coughed twice, covering her lips. "It would be best for her to talk to Jiang Qingshan."
Shen Zechuan was reading Ge Qingqing's letter, when he heard the words, only Fei Sheng said, "Luo Mengzheng has been gone for a few days?"
Fei Sheng replied, "It's been almost half a month."
"If he is riding a turtle, he should go to the capital." Shen Zechuan closed the letter, "If the rabble wants to guard the city gate, let them guard it. No one can tell whether it is a brave man or a reckless man under the heavy gold. Divine power is near. Take a break for a few days, it's too hard to jump over the wall."
Shen Zechuan was not afraid of the 30,000 to 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers in Yedu. No matter how bad he was, and Xiao Jiming was behind him, it was enough for 30,000 cavalry to frighten Yedu. Xue Xiuzhuo is very powerful, but Xue Xiuzhuo has no soldiers, and Qiu wants to force Qidong to send troops. Shen Zechuan will hold down Qi Zhuyin's knife. It doesn't matter if he doesn't need it, he will let the 300,000 army stay in place as a display, and Qiu don't even think about it. The Qidong garrison was able to cross the Heavenly Concubine Que, and he even kept a Huo Lingyun there for stability.
"Tao Ming eats and drinks well in Cizhou, and once you have fat, you should move." Fujun folded his fan and knocked on the edge of the table, "He is the capital of a state, and he is like a family with the people of Huaizhou. The Huaizhou riot was so severe, give him a few thousand Izuku garrison troops and let him go back to calm the situation. If you do well, you will be rewarded in the future, if you don’t do well, you will leave the family and children in Izuku to take care of me.”
Xue Xiuzhuo wanted to cut off Shen Zechuan's Hezhou, and Shen Zechuan took away his Huaizhou. Huaizhou is close to Luoxia Pass, and Luoxia Pass is close to Xue's hometown of Quancheng.
Be it Xue Xiuzhuo or the Empress, everyone has already exposed their weaknesses in the competition. In the past, Shen Zechuan would have no worries, but after Shao Chengbi's death, Fengquan was like a thorn in the most inconspicuous place.
It's already deep.
