Northland.
Xu Yunyan once defeated the Turkic Khan Zhili, who was hundreds of miles to the north.
Next to a lake, there were dozens of small tents. After the sun rose, dozens of people came out one after another.
There are men and women, old and young.
Although they were dressed in various styles, their appearance did not match that of the Turks at all, they were still exactly the same as the Tang people.
One of them, a young man simply dressed in leather, came out of the tent and sat on a stone nearby, covering his head with his hands and thinking about something.
A half-grown girl came next to him and looked at him curiously.
"Are you thinking about who you really are again?"
Hearing the voice of the question, the young man looked up, and his eyes lit up when he saw the girl who was smiling brightly at him.
"It's like I've seen an enlarged version of you somewhere."
"How is that possible? How could you have seen an enlarged version of me?"
"I've really seen it."
"You're lying, I have a cousin who looks a bit like me, but my cousin is not as lucky as our family. What happened to their family when they were caught? What is the name of that place?"
Looking at the little girl who kept smiling at herself, scratching her head and grabbing her two braids, trying to think about where her cousin had gone, Xu Yunyan said something for no reason.
"Dingxiang?"
"That's right, it's Dingxiang. My cousin's family was all captured and taken to Dingxiang.
Why? By the way, how do you know Dingxiang? Do you remember it? "
This question and answer attracted the attention of a person next to him.
"It seems that this young man has recovered a little memory? That's a good thing."
Xu
Yunyan shook his head.
Yes, this person who thinks hard is Xu Yunyan.
"Xiao Ning's behavior of not staying here reminded me of Dingxiang City.
After the word "Dingxiang" came up, I wanted to think about it again, but there was nothing left. I only remembered the Tang army. The Tang army over the mountains and plains came to kill me, and I seemed to be attacked and injured by one of the Tang army. "
Xu Yunyan couldn't help but shudder as he looked at the Tang Jun in his mind's memory who was charging forward with great momentum.
Why do I feel that things are a bit outrageous, but what I remember is that the leading general smiled ferociously at me and pushed me off the cliff.
And just like him, there was another person who fell from the cliff. Did he jump by himself? Could it be that he was attacked by the Tang army?
What is your identity?
Xu Yunyan held her head and thought about these things anxiously, and when she heard that there was Xiaoning's cousin in Dingxiang, that person couldn't help but say.
"But you remember that girl?"
Xu Yunyan shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that he looks a lot like Xiao Ning in Dingxiang."
Xu Yunyan looked at the little girl in front of him and said solemnly, "It's just that I don't know her name, or I can't remember it."
Xiao Ning shook her pigtails and said proudly.
"It must be my cousin Sun Ning!"
"Sun Ning!"
Xu Yunyan remembered this name carefully, but before they could stay here for too long, someone in the distance shouted loudly.
"No! There are horse thieves. Pack your things quickly. Those who can fight are ready to fight. Those who can't fight should hide in the tents behind. What are you guys doing?
To be able to fight him alive! "
Horse thieves are the last thing people on the grassland want to encounter.
Relying on the strength of their horses, these people found targets that could be attacked and quickly attacked them before leaving with everything they could take away.
Or food and drink, or cattle, sheep, horses, and of course women.
Very few women survive until someone else rescues them. Most of them can be seen by following the route the horse thieves take.
It's just that at that time, he was half-clothed and looked hideous, as if he had suffered a great injustice before his death, and some of his body parts were missing...
Hearing the arrival of horse thieves, the small camp immediately became chaotic. The women, girls and children hurriedly gathered together to find a place to hide, while the dozen or so men, each holding a knife and carrying a bow and arrow, were waiting in formation.
But Xu Yunyan just looked at the waiting man with empty hands and leaned over.
"I can help too."
One of the men came to him and asked, "Can you use a knife or a bow and arrow?"
Xu Yunyan shook his head and said when the man was about to sigh.
"I don't know what I can use, but it seems like I can use it."
As Xu Yunyan spoke, the man looked at him suspiciously, but after looking at him for a while, he didn't say anything more.
Let Xu Yunyan reach out to take the bow from the man, and pull out an arrow from the quiver on his back. He opened the bow and nocked the arrow, and waved the scimitar at the howling that was getting closer and closer. It looked like it was not a good thing. The horse thief shot an arrow.
A whooshing sound broke through the air, and another picture appeared in Xu Yunyan's mind.
Some men in well-dressed costumes were performing in a tent surrounded by tents.
There were people talking and laughing in the martial arts field, riding horses in front of him and shooting arrows one after another that were exactly the same as his own.
The sounding arrows shot towards the target ahead. After they hit the target, they turned around and cheered loudly to themselves, as if they would praise them when they cheered.
Xu Yunyan couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, as if she had found something related to herself.
However, Xu Yunyan deserted, and the man next to him was stunned.
"It's amazing. Your skills are really amazing. You hit a horse thief with one arrow, and it hit him right in the head. You can't even save him! If I give you more arrows, as long as you kill seven or eight of them, these horse thieves will be dead." They can run, they won't rush into our camp unawares when there are such heavy casualties, that will only cause them to die more."
After the man in front of him spoke, Xu Yunyan nodded, and he pulled out sharp arrows one after another from the arrow pot of the man beside him, and then shot them into the distance.
Seeing this calm look, seeing this archery skills, and then looking at the retreating horse thieves, an older man in the distance said.
"You must be a marksman among the Xiaoguo Army, otherwise you wouldn't have such archery skills."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a young man behind him looked at him a little uninterested.
"Dad, what are you talking about? The Xiaoguo Army happened many years ago. It was your generation. How can there be any Xiaoguo Army in our generation?"
However, the young man did not agree with what his father said. His father indeed glared at him.
"Why not? There was a group of people gathered around His Majesty in Dingxiang City.
A group of Xiaoguojun, and didn’t I just hear that this little brother remembered something about him? There is also Sun Yushi's daughter in Dingxiang City, maybe she is Xiaoguo from Dingxiang City. This also makes sense, being chased by the Tang army! "
is that so?
Xu Yunyan seemed to know something, and his identity seemed to be settled. He was with them, but they seemed to have been defeated and were chased by the Tang army. No wonder he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart when he looked at the magnificent Tang army. , although I couldn’t tell what it was like, but I still have a deep memory of that man with a ferocious smile who launched a fatal blow to me.
That was Tang Jun. A serious Tang Jun could do nothing wrong.
Xu Yunyan's casual display of his attacks silenced those who had doubts about him.
Many people in the camp had a chance to survive because of Xu Yunyan's attack. Everyone looked at Xu Yunyan with concern.
Xiao Ning came to Xu Yunyan's side happily.
"Do you know my cousin? What is your relationship with my cousin?"
Xiao Ning asked this question, and Xu Yunyan shook his head.
"I don't know. I can't remember it. It's just that such a name flashed in my mind. I don't know why I remember such a person."
At this moment, everyone felt a little worried again.
"Yes, for such an outstanding child, such a name pops up in his mind? He must be very close to him, right?"
However, not long after Xiao Ning was happy here, the parents next to him asked her to leave. At the same time, they nodded apologetically to Xu Yunyan and pulled the little girl as they walked.
Ning whispered there instructions.
"My cousin's family has suffered a tragedy. Your cousin's parents died tragically at the hands of the Turks, and your cousin's whereabouts are unknown."
Xiao Ning was originally happy, but after hearing this news, she lost her innocence in an instant. Instead, she turned around and looked at Xu Yunyan step by step. The look of silence in her eyes could be seen by anyone.
However, Xu Yunyan didn't pay attention to this. He shook his head and sighed. Some things can't be changed by just thinking. They should be done step by step.
In this way, the team set off again. Since horse thieves were found here, they would go in other directions to find some settlements.
As soon as the elders proposed to continue marching, some people objected.
"If we go to other places where there is no water source and encounter other Turkic tribes and annex us, we people will have nothing to eat!"
The eldest one was holding his beard, "Don't worry, we will cross the territory controlled by the Turks all the way north, and then we will enter the camp of some foreigners who live in the city. At that time, we will be able to find a way to survive." opportunity.
Although they are foreigners, they are still reasonable. Whoever has the biggest fist will listen to them. As long as we work hard enough, we will not be bullied.
Maybe we can even get along with a small noble, and then we will have enough food and clothing. "
The knowledgeable old man said this, and the people next to him couldn't help but be fascinated.
"Is there really such a chance? We don't want them to be captured as soon as they arrive and do what the slaves did."
The Western Turks had been defeated by the Tang army.
We, the old and young remnants of the previous dynasty, will not benefit from being discovered by the Tang army if we stay here.
Who told them that when some of them were selected by Jieli and Tuli and sent to the south to prepare for doing something useful to Tuli and Jieli, the whole army was wiped out?
They were worried and afraid that Tang Jun would settle accounts later.
After all, they finally convinced everyone, and the team continued to march north. Not long after they marched north, more than ten figures in fiery red leather armor appeared next to the pool.
Looking at the pool, these people couldn't help but cheered, and then ran to the water to wash themselves.
Their fiery red leather armor was quickly washed back to its original color. Where is the red?
It was just stained with a lot of red traces. After they washed it off, there were more than ten women.
Just as they were taking a rest next to the lake, one of them pointed into the distance and said.
"Leader, there seems to be a small team looming over there. Should we go and take a look? If they are Turks, we will kill them! Avenge our relatives and friends, and comfort their souls in heaven."
