Chapter 421 Chapter 424
Shen Mu coughed dryly: "It was a misunderstanding, ha, we are toasting and not drinking fine wine. Du Bawang is there, let's punish my little brother three times, ha!"

Xu Ziling knew that Shen Mu didn't change his views on Du Xu and the two, but made false claims, so as to see what tricks they had to play.

Xu Kaishan said: "My little brother is setting up a feast for everyone in the biggest little Taoyuan. Besides Brother Du, he also invited Mr. Jing, who is highly respected by the Sai Mo Gang, to accompany you. It's my honor if the three of you are willing to honor me."

Shen Mu returned to normal, laughed and said: "Brother Xu is so appreciative, how dare we show such kindness."

He couldn't figure out the relationship with Du Xing, Xu Kaishan and Jing Kang any more, and lost the clear boundary between friends and enemies.

Xu Ziling stared at Uncle Li, and was hesitating whether to ask them to go with him to protect them, Xu Kaishan said empathetically, "Uncle Li and the others can rest assured here, and my younger brother can guarantee their safety."

Ren Jun whispered: "I will stay and take care of them."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, and said, "Brother Xu, please lead the way."

Xu Kaishan said to the master: "Mr. Xiang can go back to rest." Then he said to the three: "Please!"

The drizzle fell from the sky, making this remote and wild county town into a misty misty rain, which felt like a dream.

The four of them walked in the car and walked in the rain. On the surface, they would think that they were friends looking for joy together.

Xu Kaishan enjoys eating here very much. From time to time, people on the street greet him and salute, but Xu Kaishan is quite friendly and keeps nodding in return.

Ba Fenghan and Xu Kaishan walked side by side, Shen Mu and Xu Ziling followed behind them.

Passers-by gave way one after another.

Although it was drizzling, the street was still brightly lit and very lively.

Ba Fenghan kept his words in mind, and asked, "What kind of weapon does Brother Xu usually use?"

Xu Kaishan said happily: "I really dare not say it to make fun of the Fang family, because I also use a sword, so there is no point. The only thing I can show to others is some experience in raising and training horses."

Ba Fenghan obviously couldn't see what kind of person Xu Kaishan was like Shen Mu and Xu Ziling, and he still seemed to ask casually: "Someone Ba is very interested in horse training, what is the key to it?"

Xu Kaishan smiled and said: "It turns out that Brother Ba and my younger brother are people of the same path, how dare my younger brother make a fool of yourself. Good horses are nothing more than breeding, training and training horses, but they have to be trained to thousands of herds, and there is still no neighing, echoing There are indeed some tricks in it, brother Ba is of course better than younger brother."

Shen Mu from behind said: "I'm the kind of person who rides as soon as I have a horse. Brother Xu, can you tell me a little bit to get rid of my little brother." He knew that Ba Fenghan wanted to start from his experience in horse training, and explore his true nature. Origin.

Xu Kaishan is the fastest riser in the Manhuang in recent years. He has become the largest supplier of war horses in the Manhuang in just a few years, but no one knows his background.

His appearance and body shape are a bit like Turkic people, and he can belong to any ethnic group outside the Great Wall.

Xu Kaishan said: "Young Marshal asked me, my younger brother knows everything. Breeding is about experience and eyesight, horse training is about horsemanship, horse training is first of all about loving the horse, making it the best partner, whipping and reprimanding at every turn , Even if the horses fear submission, they will never be able to cultivate first-class war horses."

Ba Fenghan said: "Brother Xu is used to using the zip line or the harness pole to deal with untamed wild horses."

Xu Kaishan was slightly astonished, and then said: "Brother Ba is really a great expert, and my younger brother uses a horse harness."

Shen Mu was confused and said: "What is a harness pole?"

Ba Fenghan said: "The harness pole is a strong and durable long wooden pole, with a leather rope tied to the pole head, put it on the wild horse's neck, hold the pole, let it run, wait for the opportunity to jump on the horse's back, let it Pitching and jumping, as long as you don’t get thrown off, when the wild horse is hoarse and exhausted, you can only accept your fate and tame it.” He also explained: “The horse training method outside the Great Wall can be roughly divided into two systems: flying rope and horse harness, but only Shiwei and Huihe People use horse harness poles, so it can be seen that Brother Xu's horse training method originated from one of these places."

For the first time, Shen Mu felt that he had the upper hand, all thanks to Ba Fenghan's understanding of the peoples outside the Great Wall, how could Xu Kaishan expect to leak his foundation from these places.

Ba Fenghan took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Brother Xu, do you have a gelding?"

Xu Kaishan was more cautious in his answer, and said: "My gelding horse secret technique is indeed learned from Shiwei people. Whenever a horse grows four teeth, the horse must be castrated, so that the horse is strong and strong. Supple without wildness, able to withstand wind and cold for a long time, to miles."

Several big men greeted the four from Xiaotaoyuan, and waited for the four of them to enter.

At this time, the three of them were no longer sure whether it was a good banquet or a bad banquet.

Little Taoyuan is located near the north gate of the North-South Street. It is a three-storey building. Sitting in the large wing room on the top floor facing north, you can see the Great Wall of the Yanshan Mountains swimming between the steep peaks through the wind and rain. It is not only reminiscent of its The ups and downs and turnings go straight to the west to Jiuquan and the majestic stretch of thousands of miles is even more reminiscent of the history of the Central Plains' resistance to foreign invasions since ancient times, which was written with the blood and tears of the people inside and outside the pass.

After drinking for three rounds, Du Xing and Jing Kang still hadn't arrived. Seeing Shen Mu and Xu Ziling admiring the beautiful scenery of the Great Wall outside the county seat, Xu Kaishan said with a smile: "People who have never been to Shanhaiguan always think that the Great Wall is in the barren mountains. However, there are many scenic spots along the Great Wall, such as the Qixian Temple on Jiaoshan, six miles away, which is deep and quiet, with lush pines and hazels. Looking down from the famous Buddha Ferry Platform of Qixian Temple, you can see Yansai Lake, The lake is emerald green, the singing of birds and the sight of animals are fascinating. Other wonders emerge one after another, each with its own characteristics. If the two of you are interested, I will be happy to guide you."

The three secretly thought that perhaps Shi Feixuan lived in this temple.

Ba Fenghan said: "Yesterday I went to the Xuanyang Cave in the north of the city. The mountains are strange and the rocks are dangerous. It is really rare to see the sky through the cave."

Xu Kaishan said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, brother Ba loves to travel, so I often say that people have to get along with each other to understand each other. Impressions based on rumors are always distorted."

Shen Mu said lightly: "Who did it?"

Xu Kaishan asked in astonishment: "Brother Kou is referring to what?"

Shen Mu said: "Of course it refers to the fact that the eldest lady was forcibly robbed of [-] sheepskins. The eldest lady also lost more than a dozen brothers. This cannot be resolved with a few words, let alone we are now required to pay a ransom. What the hell is this?" Reason? Brother Xu, what would you do if you put yourself in the same place?"

Xu Kaishan sighed: "This is a matter of choice. According to the rules of the world, we cannot reveal who did it. Brother Ba will know the situation of horse thieves outside the Great Wall better than anyone. Finding a horse thief in the prairie is not the same as finding a needle in a haystack." What's the difference. If the young marshal wants to pursue it, I'm afraid the last [-] sheepskins will sink into the sea. Brother Du contacted the other party through a middleman. Although they offered a sky-high price, there is no room for negotiation. There is a possibility of agreement.”

Just as Shen Mu was about to speak, Du Xing rushed in like a whirlwind and laughed loudly: "Since everyone understands that it was a misunderstanding, let's erase everything that happened today and start anew."

No matter how Shen Mu and Xu Ziling affirmed that Du Xing was ordered by Jieli to set a trap to deal with them, or that he was the mastermind behind the Wolf Bandits, Du Xing even had an ulterior relationship with the evil Daming Zunjiao .It is only based on three reasons that they dare not act rashly.

The first thing is to take into account the safety of the people in the wild city.

Du Xing represented a force that could balance the internal and external forces of the pass, and became a gateway between foreigners and Gao Kaidao. As long as Du Xing could control Shanhaiguan, the Turks and Khitans would not be afraid of Gao Kaidao and dare not look at their faces.Conversely, if Gao Kaidao could not gain control of Shanhaiguan for one day, he would have to be a slave for one more day, so he used Jing Kang to incite them to deal with Du Xing.

When Shen Mu and Xu Ziling looked at me, Du Xing, who was like an iron tower, first greeted Ba Fenghan in Turkic dialect, and said, "I didn't know you were Ba Fenghan, because I only heard you talking about it the day before yesterday. The news that Fuyu beheaded Gelubai made him mistakenly think that Ba Fenghan is still in Fuyu, how could he expect that Ba Fenghan would suddenly appear here."

Consciously or unintentionally, Du Xing revealed an attitude of discrimination against the Han people.

Because Du Xing's Turkic language was too fast, their hard study for the whole month was useless. They could only understand a few single sounds, but could not understand the meaning of the whole sentence.

Ba Fenghan did not stand up and salute, but still sat on the chair with high spirits, stared at Du Xing with shining eyes and said: "My two friends are the two most powerful people in the world today, anyone who underestimates them will one day I regret it very much." Although he replied in Turkic, he deliberately spoke slowly, correcting the pronunciation of each word, so Shen Mu and the others understood half of it, and guessed the other half.

Du Xing was slightly astonished when he heard that, his eyes swept over Shen Mu and Xu Ziling, and then he sat down firmly.

Xu Kaishan laughed and stood up, personally poured wine for everyone, smoothed things over and said: "Brother Du saw his own Turkic people, he couldn't help meeting old acquaintances from other places and talking Turkic, Brother Kou and Brother Xu don't blame him. "

Ba Fenghan's eyes became sharper, he stared at Du Xing and said: "I received the wind outside the pass, Dun Yugu was ordered by Jieli to gather experts from all sides outside the Great Wall, and made sure that my two brothers died here. Brother Du and Jieli have always The relationship is close, my two brothers can also be said to come to Shanhaiguan for Brother Du, what explanation does Brother Du have for this?"

Dun Yugu is Bixuan's younger brother, the most famous master in the Eastern Turks, and is extremely favored by Jieli.

These words were as sharp as his eyes, Xu Kaishan didn't dare to interrupt, the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

No matter how arrogant Du Xing was, he never dared to underestimate Ba Fenghan.

In the past few years, Ba Fenghan has literally swept across the vast prairie and daunting desert outside the pass, and everywhere there are countless arrogant and arrogant demon masters who have resented under the Xuanxuan sword. , chasing and killing Ba Fenghan, but allowing him to use the characteristics of the desert grassland to counterattack, all the soldiers were lost, and Ba Fenghan returned in defeat, so that Ba Fenghan gradually established an invincible reputation outside the pass.

No one wants to make such an enemy.

Du Xing met Ba Fenghan's eyes, looked at him without giving up, and said in Chinese: "I respect Tuli, and I respect Jieli even more, because they are all worthy of respect, but I, Du Xing, am not. Their dog, Duchenne is Duchenne.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling knew that only Ba Fenghan could suppress Du Xing, so they didn't speak, and let Ba Fenghan play his tricks.

In order to dilute the tense atmosphere of the four people, Xu Kaishan interjected: "The problem is that now the problem can be solved only by recovering the sheepskin goods. Fifteen people from the eldest lady's side died because of this. The young commander and brother Xu will never agree to this." Let’s be kind, this matter can only be resolved by force. Just now the young commander asked me to tell who robbed the sheepskin, it’s hard for me to make up my mind for elder brother, what does elder brother say?”

Du Xing frowned and said: "Whether inside or outside the pass, people are killed or murdered every day. The dead can only blame themselves for not being good at learning, not being as good as others, or they shouldn't be in the rivers and lakes. If someone dies, they will be entangled endlessly because of hatred. In the past, how could the Sui army go around killing people and setting fires outside the Great Wall? Then we Turks are going to rush into the pass and kill Han people when we see them?"

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were almost at a loss for words. Although Du Xing's words were a bit harsh, they were not without some truth.

Du Xing's eyes shone brightly, and he won't let anyone gain power. He pointed at himself with a thumbs up, and said proudly: "I, Du Xing, can be respected by friends inside and outside the Guan, and I speak of the word 'faithful'. Even if Tuli and Jieli go to war , but the two still regard me as Du Xing's friend, and I will not intervene between them. You know that I have to personally ask Hu Yanjin of Khitan to find out who robbed Zhai Jiao's sheepskin, and the condition is that the robbery must not be leaked. Who is the bandit? Now you come to me not only asking for the sheepskin, but also not paying the ransom, and even wanting to kill the other party, you teach me how Du Xing should explain to Hu Yanjin, that kid Huyan Jin is not easy to mess with."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling smiled wryly when they heard this, and thought to themselves that they shouldn't underestimate Xu Kaishan and Du Xing even more.The appearance of Ba Fenghan disrupts Du Xing's plot against them; the appearance of Shi Feixuan makes Du Xing lose ground even more.So immediately lined up to fight, played the card of Xu Kaishan, the old middleman of the peace, and talked to them about the rules and reason, avoiding the head-on confrontation, but it was more difficult to stop than a sword.

Ba Fenghan laughed dumbly and said, "Old Du, it must be your first day out to walk the rivers and lakes, right? Is there anything in this world that can trouble Shen Mu and Xu Ziling? They don't need to ask you at all."

Shen Mu held up his bowl and said, "Regard Du Bawang, Brother Du really doesn't need to tell the name of the robber, because I'm sure it was Cui Wang who did it, as long as Cui Wang is caught, Brother Ba will naturally call him Dad if he wants to call him Dad, call him Dad." Mother will call mother, there will be nothing else. Do it!"

Du Xing and Xu Kaishan didn't show any expressions on the surface, but the three of them still felt the shock in their hearts.

That is the intuition of a master.

Shen Mu's move was extremely fierce, waiting for him to play chess in the eight methods of the well, although he chopped in the empty space, it directly threatened Du Xing and Xu Kaishan.

Five people raised their bowls to drink.

Ba Fenghan said: "This kind of little thieves know best, no matter how big or small they are, they immediately avoid to go to the grassland, thinking that they will be invincible forever, but people can figure out their way of action. I guarantee that the wolf bandits will be on the way out of the pass, as long as we chase after them, they won't be able to escape very far."

Xu Ziling said indifferently: "They were the ones who closed the shop and destroyed the shop. Cui Wang wanted to vent his anger by killing people in the shop, but he didn't know that Uncle Li and the others just went to another place to avoid this calamity."

Seeing that Du Xing and Xu Kaishan fell silent, Shen Mu said with a lively smile, "Why haven't you seen Mr. Jing?"

Xu Kaishan said: "Mr. Jing is going to see Wang Bo, he will arrive later." Then he sighed and said softly, "You four are willing to listen to a few words from me, the middleman."

All eyes fell on him.

Xu Kaishan said with a smile: "Northern Cyprus is in an era of great change and turmoil. Due to the stalemate between Jieli and Tuli, the whole wilderness has lost its center of gravity and balance. The weaker tribes who have always been suppressed by the Turks are all ready to move The most obvious one is the founding of the Sumo Department in Jiezhong. Jie is divided into Sumo, Baishan, Padu, Anchegu, Funi, Haoshi, and Heishui. Among the seven departments, except Baishan and Anchegu, the others All the ministries are opposed to the Su Mo tribe's self-establishment of the country, so it can be seen that it is still unknown whether Bai Ziting can successfully establish the country this time."

Du Xing said: "It is understandable that the Khitan people are the most opposed."

Xu Kaishan said: "Don't blame me for dragging the topic away, I just want to explain the current situation, both inside and outside the pass are troubled, and one thing more is worse than one thing less, unless you don't pay attention to [-] sheepskins at all."

Du Xing said: "Let us deal with the wolf robbers. I, Du Xing, will definitely give an explanation to the young marshal and brother Xu."

Shen Mu laughed and said: "You two still don't seem to know what kind of person I am? No matter how you two imply that Cui Wang is not a person who robbed sheepskins, my belief will not be shaken. If it were me, I would let Cui Wang go hope?"

Xu Kaishan smiled and said: "Then I wish the young commander every success, capture Cui Wang alive, and reveal his true colors."

Xu Ziling said: "I also want to see the remains of Jin Huanzhen and Zhou Laotan, I hope Brother Xu will grant you permission."

Xu Kaishan readily agreed.

Du Xing suddenly said in a deep voice: "Do the three suspect that I, Du Xing, have something to do with wolf robbers?"

This sentence was what the three of them really wanted to question Du Xing, but they never expected that Du Xing would put it up in the end.

Ba Fenghan flicked his sleeves and said with a sneer in Turkic dialect: "Given Du Xing's strict control over Shanhaiguan, with so many eyes and ears, how could Cui Wang and his men pass through the border without noticing it? And enough time to find Hongqi To smear Yishenglong with oil?"

Du Xing snorted coldly, revealing the essence of a hero, and said in a deep voice: "There are thousands of pedestrians and business travelers who leave and enter the customs every day. If I, Du Xing, investigate one by one, I still have time to be a human being? Besides, Cui Wangji may have entered the city in the dark. It's none of my Duchenne business."

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Why did Cui Wang hide it from Brother Du? When you catch Cui Wang, you can ask the truth and get to the bottom of it?"

Jing Kang's voice came, and said: "Is there anything that can be revealed and the truth can be revealed?"

Jing Kang finally arrived.

Jing Kang sat down leisurely, and his expression was different. At this time, he was just like a humble elder, who seemed to never get angry or lose his temper. Jing Kang on the dead street looks like two different people.

All the people who stood up to greet him took their seats one after another, and Du Xing was surprisingly respectful and polite.

Jing Kang raised his glass and said: "I am late, I will punish you with a cup first."

No one dared to be rude, they drank up the wine together with him.

Jing Kang patted the table and sighed: "Who would have thought that Miss Mei is a master of poisoning? Although we have been paying attention to and chasing who stepped on the line for Cui Wang, we still can't touch the slightest bit. The person who provided information to Cui Wang. Poor us men who regret not being seen by her, who knows that she sleeps with others for another purpose."
