I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the members on this mission were all young people. The oldest Pang Shuo was only twenty-five, and half of them were even less than twenty. ⊙, in short, not many people had beards.
Such a young mission is probably rare to read throughout human history. Liang Xiao can only understand that Liu Che hated those old people and had to put his hopes on these young men who were hairless.
One obvious advantage of young people being together is that they are convenient for communication. Liang Xiao and Mei Gao hit it off at first sight, and they were also more convenient for communication with Ma Rong and others. He did not communicate too much with Ma Rong along the way, but in the end he gave this reward, which suddenly aroused Ma Rong's enthusiasm.
He dared to make promises to Ma Rong because of the Great Xing order Wang Hui. But he didn't expect that Mei Gao also received the promise of the emperor. It seems that the emperor and Wang Hui both had high expectations for this mission.
Liang Xiao asked: "If it's a wild map, what tools do you need?"
Ma Rong thought about it. "I'm afraid I don't have time to grind ink calmly because silk is too expensive, so it's easier to carve it with a knife."
Liang Xiao shook his head. "The knife was too slow to carve, and it was inconvenient to carry bamboo and wood slices. This is a big deal. We cannot lose the big deal because of small things. We don't consider the cost. We can do whatever it is convenient."
Mei Gao nodded without thinking. "Yes, don't save this little money. If things are done, the reward is enough to compensate for all investment."
"Since both adults say that, then use sheepskin." Ma Rong smiled and said, "The sheepskin is strong, easy to put on, and is also convenient to carry. After entering the grassland, sheepskin can be seen everywhere and does not attract attention."
"This is a solution." Liang Xiao said again: "Are there any other problems?"
"Brush and ink, table."
"The pen is simple, just prepare a few more branches. Grinding ink is too troublesome. You can prepare a pottery pot and prepare a pot of ink every day. As for the table, Ziru, I want to transform your car."
Mei Gao waved his hand. "You can do whatever you want. We are already grasshoppers tied to a rope. The task is completed and everyone is happy. The task fails and they are in trouble together. Not to mention a car, you even want to draw on my back, I have no objection."
Liang Xiao smiled. Young people are easy to talk to. If they discuss this matter with Yan Zhu, I don’t know how much trouble it will take.
Liang Xiao immediately found a craftsman and transformed Mei Gao's carriage. He installed a plywood on each side of the carriage. The plywood was pulled out and it was a moving table table. It was put away, and it was no different from the wall of the carriage. Take it off and pull the bracket below, and it was a separate table table table, which was convenient and quick. When Mei Gao and Ma Rong met, they praised it endlessly.
Everything was ready. Mei Gao greeted Feng Yannian, the prefect of Yanmen, and left Shanwucheng in the name of going out, and wandered around outside the city. Although it was just an exercise, everything was in accordance with the actual combat requirements after leaving the frontier. Mei Gao and Ma Rong were in the car, and Liang Xiao directed the men in the armored men to watch, Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo were fully armed and guarded Liang Xiao himself, no matter when, at least one person was guaranteed to be around Liang Xiao.
Things are not going well.
After half a day, Liang Xiao found that he was being followed. Several ragged men appeared and seemed casual, but in fact he was paying attention. He had been wandering around. If Liang Xiao had not heard that one of them seemed familiar accent, he would not even realize that these ragged men were suspicious.
This is the border, and there are likely spies to appear. Liang Xiao suddenly became alert.
He gave Li Shuyun a wink. This was the second time Li Shuyun went with him, and he had already had a tacit understanding and immediately understood what Liang Xiao meant. He pretended to be a casual look and walked over. The remaining few men gathered in the carriage to protect Mei Gao and Ma Rong.
Seeing that the officials surrounded him, Mei Gao and Ma Rong also realized that something was going on. Ma Rong put away the drawing board and ink, moved the sword around his waist to the appropriate position, and prepared to respond.
The idle men were very agile. When they saw that the situation here had changed, they turned around and left. When Liang Xiao looked at it, he turned his horse's head and rushed to the high place, he shouted sternly: "Shu Yun, chase after them and leave them."
"Here." Li Shuyun greeted, took off the bow from his body, ran out, and ten men galloped and surrounded them from different directions.
When they saw the men chasing, the idle men immediately fled separately. The men chasing them one after another. Two or three people chased one, and soon disappeared behind the rocks. Liang Xiao was not nervous. These men were selected by Li Guang himself, and none of them were good. Unless they encountered enemies with obvious advantages, they would definitely not be a problem to protect themselves.
Liang Xiao rushed up a nearby high slope and looked into the distance. Tu Niuer, Pang Shuo followed closely, paying attention to the movement within a hundred steps. After countless beats in Zhongli period, Tu Niuer had developed a habit. No matter where he was, he would not let Liang Xiao leave his sight. No matter how many people there were in the distance, he would never let strangers approach Liang Xiao's body.
Liang Xiao looked at it for a moment and suddenly frowned.
The smoke and dust rolled in the distance, approaching rapidly, as if a large number of people were approaching. After a closer look, the officials who were chasing the joy were retreating in a mess. They fled while shooting arrows, but the enemies behind them were still approaching. At a rough look, there were more than ten riders, and more people gathered in the distance, all of whom were dressed in tatters, like refugees.
At the front was a dark horse. A tall man was sitting on the back of the horse, holding a spear in his hand. He rode his horse like flying, and he took off the Langguan who was caught by him. In a moment, two Langguans were caught.
Liang Xiao was shocked. Could it be that the Huns were so arrogant that they dared to go deep into the south of the Great Wall and be so arrogant?
Liang Xiao shouted: "Protect your lord and prepare to withdraw."
The men agreed loudly, protecting Mei Gao, Ma Rong and others to escape towards Shan Wucheng. Liang Xiao rushed down the hillside by breaking his horse, galloping, while lifting the bow in his hand, placing an arrow, and shooting three arrows in a row.
The arrow feathers roared away and rushed straight to the man holding the spear. Although Liang Xiao's riding shooting was not outstanding, his range was sufficient and his accurate head was roughly good. Seeing this, the man did not dare to be negligent. He lowered his body, avoided two arrows, waved the spear in his hand, and pushed away another arrow.
Taking advantage of his time to avoid arrows, Liang Xiao and Tu Niuer had already arrived in the middle of the road. Liang Xiao circled the war horse, tightly clamped the war horse with his legs, leaned his body sideways, pulled the bow, and pointed the arrow straight at the big man holding the spear in front of him.
The big man immediately felt the threat. He held the war horse, held the spear in one hand, and shouted loudly.
Liang Xiao didn't understand.
The man roared twice, and when he saw that Liang Xiao had no reaction, he was furious and rushed over again. Liang Xiao sneered and let go of his fingers.
The arrow went away like a meteor, and instantly flew a hundred steps and shot to the man. The man lay on the horse's back and was shot by Liang Xiao with an arrow. The bronze helmet on his head was shot by Liang Xiao. The sound of "dang" made his ears roar. He was shocked, but he did not slow down. Instead, he raised the shield in his hand, accelerated, rushed straight towards Liang Xiao, and in a blink of an eye, he rushed to Liang Xiao for sixty steps.
Liang Xiao did not move and shot three arrows in a row.
The three feather arrows were almost connected to each other and flew towards the man. With a "puff", the first arrow shot through the shield in the man's hand and shot again on his bronze helmet. The remaining two arrows passed through the holes in the shield, hitting the copper helmet one after another, almost at the same position.
"Dangdang!" Three crisp sounds in a row, the man was dizzy and could not bear it. He loosened his legs and fell off the horse's back. However, the war horse still maintained its speed and rushed towards Liang Xiao.
Pang Shuo jumped off his horse, blocked Liang Xiao, roared, and hit the horse's neck with his shoulder. The speeding horse was under pressure, unable to control its footsteps, and walked a few steps a few times, rubbing the tail of Liang Xiao's mount and rushed over. Tu Niuer rode his horse to the man, lifted his sleeve with one hand, dragged him over, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and pointed it straight at his throat.
"Stop!" Tu Niuer shouted majesticly.
Seeing that the leader was captured, the refugee knights who were chasing him were shocked and all tied their horses to death, not daring to move forward again.
For a moment, people shouted and neighed, and the horses were in chaos. There was a turmoil on the opposite side, and the crowd separated to both sides. Two captured men were pushed out. A man held a scimitar and shouted in a gurgling manner. Liang Xiao didn't understand a single word, and he didn't know what they were calling.
Tu Niuer kicked the man and cursed: "Shut up to me. I'm talking about birds, but I can't understand a word."
The man was shot four arrows in a row by Liang Xiao, and the arrows shot on the copper helmet. He was dizzy. He fell off the horse again and turned dizzy. He was kicked by Tu Niuer. Then he woke up. He happened to hear Tu Niuer's complaint. He was shocked and asked in less standardized official words: "Are you Han people?"
"Barring, of course I am a Han Chinese, you are Hu Gou."
"I'm not Hu Gou." The man struggled to get up, but was stepped on by Tu Niuer. He couldn't get up no matter how hard he struggled. He shouted anxiously: "I'm also a Han Chinese, I'm Xie Guanglong from Yanmen County." He shouted, while taking out a ribbon from his arms and lifting it up high.
Liang Xiao didn't understand what he said, but when he saw the copper seal tied on the ribbon and the slow belt, he immediately realized the misunderstanding. He signaled Tu Niuer to take the man's seal and looked carefully. It turned out that it was the four seal characters "Yanmen Sima".
"Are you really a Sima of Yanmen?" Liang Xiao slowed down his speech and asked word by word. At the same time, he showed off his seal.
"certainly."
"Then why are you dressing like this and chasing us?"
"I just came back from inquiring about the news from the frontier. I saw you checking the terrain and thought you were spies, so I was going to catch you and ask for rewards." Xie Guanglong broke free from Tu Niu'er, stood up staggeringly, reached out to take off his copper helmet, took a look, and was surprised.
"You have a precise archery technique, four arrows are shot in the same position?"
Liang Xiao smiled. "Your spear is also good. You are the first one to make such a good spear right away."—
