The autumn sunshine shines through the car curtains.

Bai Ning sat inside, with the silver thread reflecting the dizzying light. He looked through the information on the short table that had been sent along the way recently and analyzed it.

The Jurchens have already attacked Yanjing, Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom has died, Wuzhou, and the Jurchens have the same plan as their own, cutting in from north to south to block the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Yinkeshu, and Wanyan Loushi who followed...

Finally, they are gathered in one place in Xinzhou.

……

Things will continue to change and things will continue to come. Bai Ning feels that it is a bit risky to fight this battle, but it will be fought after all. As for what will happen in the future, he may not know that the Jurchens now are really It's too strong.

After September, in October, the sky is pale.

A few more days passed on the way to Xinzhou, and there were still two days to go before the destination. He opened the curtains of his car and saw that this place was basically where the grassland and the forest met. Under the autumn sunshine, the originally lush and green wilderness suddenly disappeared. It becomes variegated.The birch forest is shaking with brilliant yellow, the larch is proudly stretching its green, and the wild fruits are shining with intoxicating red.

"Stop the car and let the team rest here for a while." Bai Ning ordered through the curtain.

Then, the carriage stopped.

He stepped off the carriage, stepped on the thick layer of apricot leaves on the ground, and took a deep breath. Finally, he waved, and Gao Mu'en came forward, "What are your orders, Lord Governor?"

"Order, immediately notify Xin Xingzong to meet with the governor at Liang Yuanchui's military camp in Xinzhou. Don't wait until late."

Gao Muen wrote down his words and retreated.Over there, Bai Ning walked into the birch forest with his hands behind his back. When the wind came, his silver hair fell from his shoulders. Above his head, the leaves swayed gently and floated down.

He held a leaf in his palm, unfolded it, and revealed a smile: "The autumn colors in the North have a different flavor. It would be sad if such great rivers and mountains were given to foreigners."

Cao Shaoqing stood the White Dragon Sword at his feet, with a look of intoxication in his majestic eyes, "Things belonging to the Han people, even the broken copper and iron, belong to us Han people. It's a pity that Shaoqing is also a person who was sentenced to death..."

"That's right." Bai Ning let go of his palm and let the dead leaf fall to the ground, "No matter how messy our house is, it's still our own business."

After walking for a while, Gao Muen led a few people to find a spacious place, spread a white cloth, set up a small table, and presented dried meat, desserts, melons and fruits one by one. Because he was traveling, except for Bai Ning, Sitting alone, the others had to gather around the small table and have lunch under the northern scenery. pb

Then someone started bragging randomly...

"It's not me, Gao Muenchui. Back then, when I was still in the government office, what kind of scenery had I not seen? The most powerful ones were the women from the Western Regions... They were showing off on the street with their bellies exposed in the middle of winter... "

Jin Jiu knocked down the wine bowl and said, "Is that a view? It seems that you never even went out to Bianliang back then... If you had gone out and acted recklessly, I'm afraid you would have been beaten to death long ago."

"..." Gao Mu'en stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth, "You all follow the example of that guy Xiao Chenzi. You always argue with each other, even though you know I'm playing... you just listen quietly. That's great, but it's boring. .”

"Do not talk--"

Cao Shaoqing raised his arm with chopsticks and turned his gaze. There was a voice coming from the distance of the birch forest.Bai Ning also put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the chair, hooked up his fingers, and rested around him. Jin Yiwei, who was eating dry food, stood up and picked up the Xiuchun knife and became alert.

At the end of the birch forest, the sound of people and horse hooves came over, but it was not urgent.

There were about 300 people, all dressed in rough and simple-made furs. Each of these people who came over were not very tall, but very stout. They had scimitars on their waists. The leader looked at him like a tiger and had a tall figure. Some of them have a long beard around their chin, a silver ring hanging from their left ear, and their hair has many small braids hanging down from their leather hats.

"Passing by?" Jin Jiu took a bite of dried venison, stood up and looked over.

Gao Duannian, who was leaning against a white birch tree on the other side, stretched out his hand to touch the parting hook stuck in his back, "It's a bit like...but these people's accents don't sound like Liao people or Jurchens, nor do they sound like Jurchens. Lao Jin, let's Go and do them?"

"Don't act rashly."

Bai Ning waved his hand, elegantly picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Let's take a look first before talking."

After releasing the handle of the farewell hook, Gao Dannian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's autumn now, and here is the grassland. The tribes over there may be coming here for border trade, in exchange for some winter food."

While they were talking here, the three hundred prairie people who accidentally met here were also stunned. After seeing someone here, they muttered and sat down cross-legged on the spot, picked up some dead wood branches and lit a small fire. He put the dried meat he carried with him on a tree branch and roasted it, then tied the water bag around his waist and poured something white into it.

One of the thin, black men held these things and bowed slightly in Jin Yiwei's sight. He knelt in front of Bai Ning and carefully lifted the wooden bowl and some red and hard meat jerky to his head. Ning said in a language he had never heard before: "hnnctepэhэx??x?hдэt3oчnд3opnyлcah." (A gift from my master to the distinguished guest)

"Hehe... I, Old Jin, didn't understand a word of what this man said." Jin Jiu rubbed his stubble, "But he looks quite submissive, as if he is offering something to our Lord Admiral, so that I, Old Jin, can Kim, look what it is.”

When he reached out, Cao Shaoqing grabbed his wrist. He turned the scabbard of the White Dragon Sword and picked it up in the hand of the thin black Mongolian. He moved the flat end of the wooden bowl and presented it to Bai Ning without leaking a drop. With one hand, the Mongolian man was stunned for a moment. At least in his impression, he had never seen anyone with such skills.

Bai Ning picked up the wooden bowl, and a smell of milk entered his nose. It wasn't milk... it should be mare's milk.He held the wooden bowl filled with mare's milk and gestured to the tribal leader over there, who nodded with a simple and rough smile.

When he saw Bai Ning drinking the bowl of mare's milk, his smile became even brighter. The man stood up and waved. More than [-] people around him raised their bows and started nocking arrows, shouting incomprehensible words. sentence.

Bai Ning raised the corner of his mouth, and there was an arrow whizzing towards him. He raised his arm, and the arrow feathers were still trembling with residual force, staying between his two fingers.He tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of the mare's milk he drank on the ground.

With a flick of his hand, the voice spread: "Kill them——"

The arrow between his fingers was reflected back and nailed to the forehead of the Mongolian who offered milk, and the body fell down with a thud.Jin Jiu cursed, grabbed the pumpkin sledgehammer and Gao Duannian and rushed over, accompanied by more than a hundred people including Xiaofanzi and Jinyiwei.

"Shoot!!" The leader waved his hand and spoke.

300 people raised their bows and fired volleys of arrows almost simultaneously.The distance is a hundred steps apart. The accompanying Jinyiwei and Fanzi have worked hard on swordsmanship. They are capable of resisting the flying arrows, especially the arrows that are not very dense. Waving the steel knife in his hand, in the birch forest, there was only the sound of the arrow hitting the blade.

After Jin Jiu smashed away a bunch of arrows with his hammers, the figure next to him flashed, and he rushed over and stepped forward. With his arms stretched out, the clattering iron sky dragged him, the parting hooks flew and intertwined, and he rushed into the crowd of people on the other side. Gao Duannian suddenly grabbed one end of the chain with both arms and hung it from left to right.

Hiss.

In the crowd opposite, someone was split into two halves, and there was a lot of blood.In the splashing blood, Jin Jiu led Jin Yiwei to break through the distance of the arrow and hit it with a hammer.

The Mongolian man in front raised his machete and struck forward with a loud bang. The heavy sledgehammer smashed the blade of the opponent's hand directly. The Mongolian man screamed hoarsely in pain, and the arm holding the knife was smashed. It was smashed directly off the shoulder and fell to the ground.The next second, the first group of more than a dozen Jinyiwei rushed in, and there was a noisy fight. These people may not be able to fight against people like Jin Jiu and Gao Duannian, but they are on par with Jinyiwei and Fanzi, and it is not their moves. How clever, but these people are very strong, and the trajectory of the scimitar is quite troublesome. Jin Yiwei and Fanzi don't have much experience in this regard.

After a moment of confrontation, someone from both sides fell in a pool of blood, and there were marks of cuts everywhere on the surrounding trees.

"Retreat." Over there, the big man who seemed to be the leader frowned, shouted softly, immediately got on his horse, fiddled with the reins and rode off.

The remaining Mongolians did not stop immediately. After firing a few arrows, they got on their horses one after another and fled while shouting.Behind, Jin Jiu and others killed several people, then called the horses that were parked on the road, mounted their horses and chased them out.

After about a stick of incense, they finally turned around. There were several heads tied around the horse's neck, but there was no head of the man in the middle.

Jin Jiu dismounted, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Governor, those people's equestrian skills and bow and arrow skills are quite good. We almost got in their way when we chased them. These people can run while riding horses and shoot arrows backwards."

"These people on the grasslands may have known about the great changes in the Liao Kingdom, so they came quietly to pick up bargains. Seeing that there were few of us among them, they planned to make a profit." Gao Duannian guessed, but no one was sure about what happened in the end. statement.

Under the birch tree, Bai Ning closed his eyes and frowned, but then parted again. He had some thoughts in his mind and quickly rejected them, "That person... must not have been born yet. I must be worrying too much."

The sky was tilted, and the team gathered together and embarked on their journey again.But in fact, what Bai Ning didn't know was that his idea was actually not wrong. An unexpected encounter would lead to another encounter soon.

ps: It was a bit unexpected today. My son was sick. Chunfeng went to pick him up, but there was a delay in the process. I'm sorry to everyone.
