Chapter 129: The King of Light Cavalry, Po Jun Meets Yao Guang

Qibili was brought to Li Guanyi's yard.

He was the Khan of the Tiele tribe, so the Xue family gave him very good treatment. There were eight cold dishes, eight fruits and eight vegetables, eight kinds of fruits, and eight kinds of snacks on the table, a total of forty-eight items. Each one was on a small plate, but they could be put together to form a large round plate. There was a pattern of red carp entering the water on the plate, which was exquisite and compact.

The child looked at Qibili with envy and glanced at him cautiously.

Then he secretly reached out his hand to take it, but Qibili reached out his hand and patted him lightly.

The young Khan smiled and shook his head, saying in Tiele's words:

"Be polite, Hun Yu."

"Although we are poor, we are not greedy children, right?"

The child called Hun Yu scratched his head, sat down obediently, straightened his back, and said, "Yes!"

Qibili smiled and took a sugar pill from his pocket and handed it to Hunyu. Hunyu shook his head and said he didn't want to eat it. He wasn't hungry and wasn't greedy. Qibili smiled and said, "You are a good child, so this is a gift from me. You can eat it."

The young Khan watched the Tiele children happily accept the candy pills.

He held it in his palm and licked it carefully, with a happy smile on his face: "It's sweet, Khan, so sweet!"

Qibili smiled and nodded, with a sad look in his eyes.

But even so, he still sat there straight, like the red willows of the Western Regions, like the rocks of the Western Regions, until he saw the young man coming, then he stood up, took two steps forward, and bowed deeply:
"You are here, grandson of Tiele tribe's Gelun Yiwushi Mohe Khan, son of Mohe Duotle Qibige, thank you for your kindness."

He said the names of his grandfather and father to show his seriousness.

Li Guanyi helped him up. Qibili grinned, stretched out his hand and patted the head of the child next to him, saying: "This child was sent away yesterday, but the Western Regions are too far away. The officials who handled it knew I was here, so they came to ask me, saying that they cleared out some evil people and rescued the child."

"They say that under the feet of the saintly emperor, all evildoers will be brought to justice."

"I thanked him, and when I got back, the child told me that it wasn't those people who saved him. They just took your case and showed it off to me."

Hun Yu said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, big brother, for saving me."

"Those bad guys said they would take credit for your work and get the Khan to say a few good words for them, and then they would get promoted. They didn't know that I heard it all clearly."

He raised his eyebrows as if asking for credit.

Qibili said: "I came today to express my gratitude and invite you to have a meal at my place."

Li Guanyi agreed without hesitation, and Qibili was overjoyed.

He and Li Guanyi did not go to the inn where they were staying.

Although he was poor, he was the Khan of the Tiele tribe after all. The imperial court was generous and gave him an entire courtyard, and he had no shortage of food, clothing and supplies. However, Qibili said that if Li Guanyi was entertained in the emperor's post house, it would be harmful to him.

You saved our Tiele children, I cannot repay you with evil.

As he said this, the young Khan smiled. His eyes contained the cunning and intelligence of a fox from the Western Regions, and the calmness of a lion. He took Li Guanyi to a somewhat shabby courtyard.

There were some other children inside. A big pot was set up in the yard, and meat was bubbling inside. The aroma was already rising. Those children were all very thin, and they were wearing clothes. When the wind blew, the clothes stuck to their bodies, revealing traces of two rows of ribs.

Li Guanyi didn't see his donkey.

Qibili smiled, pointed at the meat in the pot, and said happily:
"There is nothing worth eating, and I don't have enough silver. The officials here said they would give me a gift, but I think that I should thank my benefactor and not ask for other people's things. This donkey has carried me for such a long distance, but I still want to kill it for you to eat."

Li Guanyi remembered what Qibili said and said, "Isn't this something the elders of your tribe put together for you? Are you going to eat it just like that?"

Qibi said: "It is precisely because he was raised by the elders that we should use it to thank you. This is like our elders and fellow villagers inviting you to eat a piece of meat together. Come and meet your benefactor."

He reached out his hand and gently patted the children around him. These children had different looks and styles. Li Guanyi recognized that they were not from the same tribe. Qibi said: "The nine surnames of Tiele are Huihe, Pugu, Tongluo, Hun, Sijie, Bayegu, Qi, Abusi, and Gulunwugusi."

"I am the Khan of Qi, Hun Yu Rijin, from the Hun tribe."

"Although they are not from our tribe, they are all from the same tribe living in the Western Regions, and they are all under the name of Tiele. Everyone's life is not very good, and although we often fight, no matter how big the conflict is, we can't just watch a child die."

"They are their children, and they are our children as well."

Qibili smiled, pointed at the pot, and asked the children to bring a bowl with a sauce in it, vinegar, sauce, scallions, and coriander. He then used a large chopstick to pick up the meat with skin, boiled in water with some ginger, and said:

"This is the way we eat it. We cook the good meat and then eat it with the sauce."

"It's not as good as the ones from Jiangnan. Please try it."

Li Guanyi took it, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth under the gaze of everyone. There was a fishy smell of earth. Under the gaze of the Tiele people, he ate the meat, then smiled and said, "Anything else?"

So the children laughed, and Qibili nodded with a smile. The children began to share the food among themselves. They carefully drank a sip of the soup, and then ate the meat. The taste was not what people in the Central Plains liked. The donkey was not fanned, the blood was not drained properly, and the cooking method was not delicate enough.

The smell of meat was lingering, but they looked like they had eaten the most delicious food, with a radiance in their eyes. Li Guanyi looked at the young Khan next to him. Qibili smiled and said, "I was able to save these children before leaving the State of Chen. I can give an explanation to my elders when I return."

Li Guanyi said: "You want to leave?"

Qibili hummed and said, "The emperor invited me to stay and promised me a title and a princess, but he didn't say how to get my fellow countrymen to come to the border of the Central Plains. The little prince of the Tanguts and the living Buddha of the Western Regions both plan to stay."

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes. He actually knew the emperor's way of weighing things, so from the beginning, he knew that Qibi Li would not get what he wanted. Even so, he hoped that the young man could get what he wished for.

Qibi said: "The officials of the State of Chen asked me if I wanted to stay, saying that the Western Regions are bitterly cold and the outside of the Great Wall is poor, so it is better to stay here forever, with beauties and gold, and no worries in this world."

"Jiangnan Road, Central Plains is so nice."

"Even I feel that the boiled meat I loved to eat when I was a child has a fishy smell. The wind here is good, the water plants are good, and when it blows, even the wind has the smell of water. The willow trees are swaying, and the girls are beautiful, but..."

The young Khan sat among the children, patting his scimitar with a quiet smile:
"It's spring. The grass in the western region will sprout. When it covers the ground, there will be a kind of purple flower. When the wind blows, the grass will bend. The river in my hometown will flow here, like gold."

"The cattle and sheep are crying out for food. It's time to go out to graze."

“That’s where I belong.”

Li Guanyi: "Why don't you come to me?"

Qibili thought for a moment and replied, "...This is not a simple matter. If I come to you, will it be too much trouble for you? Will it make you feared and disliked by the Saint Emperor?"

Li Guanyi closed his eyes and asked, "Do you have a pen and paper?"

Qibi said: "No need to do this, I..."

Li Guanyi tore off his collar.

Qibili was silent. He was not a stupid man. Looking at the young man in front of him, his lips trembled. Li Guanyi reached out and took a piece of firewood from the iron pot. He ground it into a tough big brush on the ground and wrote the words on his clothes. Then he called Hun Yu and said:

"Go to the place where you found me just now and give this thing to an uncle who likes to eat salt-baked peanuts. The uncle's name is Zhao Dabing. You can ask him for a big handful of salt-baked peanuts. Then, ask Brother Zhao to give this thing to the Seventh Prince of the Turkic Kingdom, a handsome man who looks like a beautiful woman."

The seven Turkic kings established themselves in the Western Regions and occupied large tracts of grassland.

He wanted to become independent from the tent of his father, who was a great general in the world.

So I hope to get the Xue family’s trade routes.

After the Seventh Prince "rescued" Li Guanyi from Yue Qianfeng, the matter had already been settled. And to go from Xuejia to the location of the Turks, one had to pass through the Western Regions. Such a big thing, even if only a part of it was revealed, would be enough to support thousands of households in the Tiele tribe.

The child ran away happily. Li Guanyi looked at his back, then turned to look at the Tiele Khan, looked at the scimitar on his waist, and said, "Is this the sword that the Qibi brothers practiced?"

Li Guanyi said: "Shall we practice?"

Qibili was quiet for a moment and said, "I am better than you."

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "How about just comparing moves?"

Qibili took a deep breath, a refreshing and heroic smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay!" He took off the scimitar, but it was still connected to the scabbard, and Li Guanyi raised the sword in his hand, pointing at the Khan in front of him, and the children dispersed together.

He was sitting there wearing slightly dirty clothes, holding the bowl in his arms, reaching out to take the meat from it and stuffing it into his mouth, sucking his fingers.

Qibili pointed the scimitar in his hand at the young man in front of him. He reached out and touched the ancient wolf tooth pendant hanging around his neck. He did not show his true strength, but just said softly: "Be careful."

The boy over there smiled.

Li Guanyi jumped lightly with brisk steps, and Qibili was stunned.

This is--!!!
At the moment when Li Guan changed his technique with one step, the young man suddenly jumped up from being still, and in just a moment he closed the distance. The sword in his hand, still with the scabbard, chopped out like a scimitar. Qibi Li shook his body and took over the attack with the scimitar in his hand.

Just at the moment when the swords collided.

The young man's sword seemed to turn into a scimitar, or like a butterfly, and changed along with the energy of Qibili's blade. Then Li Guanyi's original military footwork seemed to become extremely agile and light in an instant. At the moment of turning around, Li Guanyi retracted his sword and lightly stroked Qibili's back with his fingers.

Qibili paused, he seemed to know what it was.

This is the most complete golden scimitar energy core from five hundred years ago.

He turned and glanced.

Li Guanyi's scimitar also bounced on Qibili's blade, jumped, and changed his body movements, and once again he used his fingers to stroke Qibili's body. Qibili gradually relaxed his restraint and began to use his sword skills with a stern and lawful manner.

But Li Guanyi had fought with the third prince of Tiele more than once.

He will have the core of this scimitar.

Just like a butterfly.

Like the wind.

The more powerful Qibili's swordsmanship is, the butterfly can always change accordingly, like the wind above the waves; when Qibili's swordsmanship is fast, Li Guanyi will be fast too; when Qibili's swordsmanship is slow, he will be slow too. However, the butterfly always follows him like a shadow, and his swordsmanship is exquisite and unparalleled.

Qibi retreated with all his strength, his eyes bright, breathing heavily, and said, "This is!!!"

Li Guanyi stood there, holding his sword:
"Tie Le's golden scimitar sword technique."

"I have recently come to understand a truth even more deeply. Only when you have a knife in your hand can you be qualified to talk about protection or not."

His eyes were calm as he looked at the Khan in front of him. He raised his sword and thought of Master Xue's teachings. The young man said softly, "The so-called righteous spirit without force and blade is not enough."

"Qibili, come on."

"I know the true sword techniques of the Tiele tribe, as well as the cavalry tactics of the Tiele tribe. If you want to leave, I won't send you off, but I will teach you these things. Time is short, so how much you can remember is up to you."

The boy readily offered his help.

He held the sword, thinking of the legend in the files about coming and going like the wind. In Qibili's eyes, he seemed to be covered with light. Li Guanyi just held the sword and said softly:
"The king of light cavalry, buried in history, was said to charge into battle so fast that the opponent could hardly form a complete defense. He wore no armor, or only light armor, and lay on the horse's back. When the two sides clashed, he could slit the opponent's throat with just one blow."

"Qibi Li, I believe in you. The Golden Scimitar Cavalry will reappear in this troubled times in your hands."

"May you protect your subjects."

Qibili held the knife, looked at the young man in front of him, and said: "You, no, Li Guanyi, are you not afraid that after I learn these, the Tiele light cavalry will become your future enemy? In such a chaotic world, the Tiele tribe is in danger of extinction."

Li Guanyi said calmly: "I will teach the method to crack it to the generals in the Central Plains."

"Besides, I'm still here."

"Most importantly, is Qibili such a person?"

Qibili was silent for a long time, then he also laughed. He laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. Then he let out a long sigh and said:
"You are such a stupid person!!!"

"But I will never be your enemy, ever!"

Qibili smiled and raised the scimitar in his hand, saying softly:

"I came to the Central Plains and met the Saint Emperor, but I didn't get any help. I thought I had wasted my time coming here, but now I realize that I have completed my mission."

Qibili raised the knife in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him. The young Khan once again showed the cheerful and heroic smile he had when they first met:

"Come on, please teach me."

He strode forward, swung his scimitar, and the blade cut through the wind.

But I was thinking in my mind.

In this chaotic world, it was really absurd. The nine clans of Tiele were about to die out, but he finally encountered the opportunity that the old man in his hometown had mentioned. The Golden Scimitar Cavalry, the king of light cavalry in the world, a name forgotten by the world, would always be mentioned again.

The legend destroyed by the Tuyuhun King, the strongest in the history. I hope you can appear on the battlefield again.

May you protect your people again.

I hope you can gallop on the battlefield again!
The young man in front of him drew his sword calmly and dignifiedly.

The clanging sounds and collisions of swords and knives danced.

The wheels of the carriage were spinning at high speed. Hun Yu's face was pale. The man next to him, who was more beautiful than the prettiest girl in the tribe, was holding the reins with both hands. When his eyes were excited, there was even a hint of strange purple in the deep black. He had purple pupils, black hair and white skin. He was really handsome.

Pojun's carriage was so advanced in the capital that it could shake off the Tanguts and Turks in the grassland. It left the garrison three blocks away, then strode in and, under the guidance of the Xue family, went to Li Guanyi's yard.

Pojun felt very happy.

The lord is looking for him.

Hahaha, it’s still the Yijinzhao, he wants to pass this thing down, and when he becomes an old guy, he will tell the next generation of Pojun how great he is and how stupid and dumb those old guys were.

Hahaha, what a joy. What a joy.

Yaoguang, ah Yaoguang, this time I am the fastest...

He pushed open the courtyard with a heavy breath, and proudly glanced at the courtyard. He felt that there was a king's demeanor everywhere, even the stone for practicing swords, the pond on one side, and the white hair that appeared over there were all suitable...

Um?and many more.

White hair? ! ! !

Pojun slowly raised his head and saw the silver-haired girl sitting quietly in the corner.

Yaoguang.
