"Wait a minute!" Liu Ziqiu suddenly walked out of the team with a knife in hand.
Gui Haiqiu exclaimed: "Brother, come back quickly!"
They were facing the Qiang cavalry who were skilled in riding and shooting. If they escaped from the cover of the military formation, they would be dead.
Liu Ziqiu didn't look back and said calmly: "This route was chosen by Liu. Liu must take responsibility and not let everyone die in vain!"
Liu Yu suddenly remembered that someone once told him that Liu Ziqiu said that he was afraid of death. At that time, Liu Yu only thought it was a joke and did not take it to heart. But now he became inexplicably nervous and said loudly: "Liu Ziqiu, you are not allowed to surrender!
"
When the Qiang leader heard Liu Yu's words, he reined in his horse, glanced at Liu Ziqiu, and laughed and said: "The Han people have a good saying, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero. If you, a big man, are willing to surrender, I will surrender."
Make you the leader of the slaves."
Like the Turks and Xianbei, the Qiang people are also in the stage of slave society. In foreign wars, in addition to robbing property, they also need to plunder slaves. The two hundred Sui soldiers in front of them are all strong and strong, and in the eyes of the leader, they are the best slaves.
"There is no word "surrender" in Liu's dictionary!" Liu Ziqiu sneered and said, "Liu is here to bet with you. You and I don't want anyone to help us. We have a duel. If I win, you will let go.
My brothers, go over there. If you win, we will let you do whatever you want!"
Although no one knew what a dictionary was, Liu Ziqiu's meaning was very clear. The Qiang leader couldn't help but show a look of ridicule on his face. He raised his head and sneered: "Your life and death are in my hands, what qualifications do you have?"
Bet with me..."
Before he could say the word "sai", he felt a cold light flashing before his eyes, and a strong wind blowing towards his face. However, the Qiang leader's skills were also strong, and he jumped off his horse to the side. Suddenly he heard a mournful cry, and he
As he sat down, the horse had been chopped into two pieces by Liu Ziqiu, and his internal organs and blood were splattered all over him.
Just now, when Liu Ziqiu was talking to the Qiang leader, they were more than ten steps away from each other. He didn't know what kind of magic Liu Ziqiu used, but he was in front of him in an instant. But he had no time to think about it, because the Mo Dao in Liu Ziqiu's hand was wrapped around him.
A rain of blood struck him again.
The leader rolled on the spot, extremely embarrassed, and barely managed to escape the blow. Before he could even take a breath, he felt pain under his ribs. Mo Dao's sword drill had been stretched out at some point, making him unable to defend himself.
Liu Ziqiu's sword pierced under the leader's ribs and he picked him up. The leader somersaulted in the air and knelt in the dust. He struggled to get up, but the heavy Mo Dao was put on his shoulders and pressed him down again.
Go down.
All this happened so fast, and the situation suddenly changed in the blink of an eye. The soldiers of both armies were stunned and did not even dare to breathe. Although the Qiang cavalry had thousands of gleaming arrows aimed at Liu Ziqiu, the leader was restrained.
, a rat-throwing weapon, no one dares to pull the string of the bow.
Liu Ziqiu succeeded with one move and shouted in a deep voice: "Quick, tell them to get out of the way!"
The leader shouted in Qiang language. Liu Ziqiu could not understand what he was shouting. He only saw that his expression was angry and his face covered with horse blood looked ferocious and terrifying. After hearing the leader's call, the Qiang cavalry began to attack
Come forward and press forward.
As soon as Liu Ziqiu stretched out his hand, the leader picked him up from the ground, stood in front of him, and said sternly: "If you don't tell them to stop, I will chop you alive!"
"Haha, haha, there is no word surrender in my dictionary!" The leader learned and applied Liu Ziqiu's words, laughed and raised his head, but at a glance he saw a string of Buddhist beads on Liu Ziqiu's hand holding the Mo Dao.
, was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Who are you, Master Daoxin?"
Since the leader called Daoxin a master, he at least respected Daoxin. Liu Ziqiu was so smart that he immediately figured out the key. He deliberately shook the Mo Dao in his hand and brought the string of Buddhist beads close to the Qiang leader.
He said coldly: "You tell them to back off first!"
Sure enough, the leader stared at the beads again, turned around and shouted several times at the cavalry team. The cavalry team that was pressing forward suddenly stopped, and then slowly retreated, with the bows and arrows in their hands lowered.
Come down.
Liu Ziqiu waited until the Qiang cavalry retreated fifty steps away before he put away his Mo Dao and said calmly: "Liu and Master Daoxin are friends, and he gave this string of beads to Liu."
In fact, Liu Ziqiu and Daoxin have only met once, and it is still unclear whether they are enemies or friends. However, the Buddhist beads on his wrist were given by Daoxin, and they are guaranteed to be replaced if they are fake. The situation is urgent now, and Liu Ziqiu does not mind raising a banner.
Tiger skin.
The leader's tense face relaxed, he let out a long breath, and said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Master Daoxin has been a great favor to our tribe. Since you are Master Daoxin's friend, you are also a friend of our tribe."
!”
This was Liu Ziqiu's first time dealing with these nomadic people. In the past, Liu Ziqiu always thought that these people who lived on horseback were bold and forthright, but when the leader refused the duel proposal, Liu Ziqiu discovered that they also had a cunning side. At this time, he
He had to cheer up and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what great favor does Master Daoxin owe you?"
The leader said without thinking: "In the early winter of last year, our tribe encountered a great plague. Fortunately, Master Daoxin happened to pass by and offered a helping hand..."
"Wait a minute!" Liu Ziqiu suddenly interrupted him and said, "Liu only knows that the master can recite sutras, but why haven't you heard that he can also heal people?"
The leader grinned and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. It was Master Daoxin who invited Dr. Sun to save my people."
Hearing this, Liu Ziqiu felt that the matter was somewhat believable, but still asked: "What is the name of Dr. Sun? What does he look like?"
The Qiang leader thought for a while and said, "I remember he said when he came here that his name is Sun Simiao, but we all call him Sun Shenyi. Doctor Sun has white beard and hair, but his face is red. He is really a fairy-like figure."
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "This Divine Doctor Sun is my grandfather."
Sun Simiao is Gao Xiuer's godfather, and it is appropriate for Liu Ziqiu to call him grandfather. It is not considered impersonation. But what Liu Ziqiu didn't expect was that Sun Simiao, Daoxin, and Yuan Tiangang, three worldly masters, were actually related to each other.
Moreover, they have all interacted with me, and I don’t know if they can guess my origin.
When the leader saw Liu Ziqiu silently lost in thought, he suddenly bowed and worshiped: "I am going to Liduoyun, the clan leader of Dangxiang to the Li clan. I hope you will forgive me for the offense I just offended. May I ask what your surname is?"
"My lord, Liu Ziqiu!" Liu Ziqiu thought about the leader's name, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Why don't you call me Li Qingtian?"
Xiangli Duoyun asked curiously: "Hey, Xiangli Qingtian is my sister's name, how did you know?"
Liu Ziqiu didn't expect that someone would actually call Li Qingtian, so he couldn't help but shook his head.
Xiang Li Duoyun seemed to understand what Liu Ziqiu was thinking, and explained: "There is nothing surprising. It was cloudy when my mother gave birth to me, and it was a sunny day when my sister was born, so I got this name."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Now, you can ask your people to get out of the way and let us pass."
At this time, Xiang Liduoyun finally showed the generosity of a nomad and laughed loudly: "How can that be done? Your grandfather saved the lives of all of us, and you are a friend of Master Daoxin. Since you are here, you must enter our village.
Come sit here and let me show my appreciation for the place!"
Although Liu Ziqiu could not see any hostility towards Li Duoyun, he did not dare to take it lightly. He raised his hands and said, "Please forgive Liu for not being able to obey his orders because of his military affairs!"
Xiang Liduoyun said disapprovingly: "What kind of military service can you number 100 do? If you are willing to visit our village, I will use the strength of the tribe to help!"
This is the territory of the Qiang people. With their help, they can get to Niling faster. On the other hand, the backup they were expecting has not yet appeared. It is really not easy for two hundred people to hold Niling. If
With the help of this team of Qiang cavalry, it was a good idea. Liu Ziqiu felt a little moved, nodded, and said: "This is a serious matter. Liu does not dare to make the decision without authorization. You need to ask the official."
"What! You actually have a Shangguan?" Xiang Liduoyun felt a little incredible and said, "With your skills, you can lead even thousands of people, so why bother to be inferior to others? Why don't you come to our village...
"
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said resolutely: "Liu is a soldier, so he should keep his mission in mind as a soldier. How dare he harm the interests of the country with his own selfish interests!"
After saying that, Liu Ziqiu turned around and walked towards his military formation. The two of them had been talking for so long, and the atmosphere had relaxed a lot. However, no one dared to be careless, no matter the Qiang cavalry or the Sui army infantry, and they were still at war with each other.
However, after Liu Ziqiu left, Xiang Liduoyun did not take the opportunity to escape back to his team. Instead, he sat down on the ground next to the war horse that had been chopped into two pieces. It looked very strange.
Just now, Liu Ziqiu and Xiang Li Duoyun were talking very loudly. Liu Yu could hear clearly in the formation, and couldn't help but feel a little moved. He said: "Liu Ziqiu, you are the first to be able to force the Qiang people to peace. Where to go is up to you."
Certainly!"
After all, Liu Ziqiu was not at ease about going to Liduoyun, and said: "Well, Liu will promise him that he will visit his village as a guest after the war is over. I hope the brigade commander will grant Liu two days' leave."
Liu Yu laughed and said, "That's natural. Go talk to that person in Xiangli Duoyun and see if you can provide us with some drinking water?"
It was okay that he didn't mention drinking water. When he mentioned it, Liu Ziqiu also felt thirsty. He immediately nodded and walked back to Xiang Liduoyun. When Xiang Liduoyun saw him coming back, he jumped up from the ground and asked repeatedly: "Why?"
Like? Did he agree?"
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and explained what he had just discussed with Liu Yu.
"Well, you have to keep your word!" Xiang Liduoyun did not continue to insist that he go to the village now, but pointed forward and said, "It's easy to drink water. Walk ten miles away and you will reach the West Sea."
Liu Ziqiu was stunned and said, "Isn't the West Sea salty?"
Xiang Liduoyun laughed loudly: "You'll know when you get there!"
