Lu Xiao's figure silently shuttled through the forest. Not far to his right, a deer raised its head in confusion. It seemed to have heard something, but when it raised its head, it did not hear any other sounds.
.
After a period of movement, Lu Xiao finally found a suitable position. He gently stood up, bent his bow and arrow, and hit the deer's heart with an arrow.
About an hour later, Lu Xiao returned to his residence carrying the dead deer.
This is a wooden house located deep in the mountain forest. The wooden house occupies a large area and seems to have been expanded more than once. It can be seen from the outside that it has more than one room.
An open space was cleared in front of the door, and one side was filled with chopped firewood. On the other side were several wooden piles, which seemed to be used for practicing bow and arrow or sword skills.
There is a vegetable patch behind the house, which is full of northern vegetables such as cabbage, eggplant, and cucumber. However, at this time, except for the cabbage, the other vegetable vines have begun to wither. It is obvious that the season is late autumn.
, even approaching winter.
Lu Xiao threw the deer's carcass to the ground. He went back to the house and took a drink of water. Then he cleaned up the stove and made sure it started burning to warm up the house.
Afterwards, he walked out of the wooden house and hung the deer carcass on a shelf. After placing a wooden basin underneath, he began to skillfully handle the deer carcass.
Bleeding, skinning, and processing the internal organs were done in one go. It only took less than half an hour to finish processing a deer weighing more than 100 kilograms. Cleaning the internal organs was more troublesome. Lu Xiao only kept the heart and liver, and the rest of the internal organs.
He chopped them into pieces at will and buried them in the ground as fertilizer.
Lu Xiao cut off a piece of deer steak for dinner. He chopped it into large pieces randomly and threw it into the pot to blanch it.
Then he took out a few potatoes from the box in the corner of the room, peeled them and cut them into large pieces.
The deer steak had a strong fishy smell, so Lu Xiao threw in a lot of wild onions to remove the fishy smell. But even so, there was still some fishy smell. He didn't pay much attention to it, and directly put the blanched deer steak back into the pot, and added
After a little simple seasoning, start stewing.
While the meat was stewing, he got up and moved the rest of the venison to the next room. When he walked into the room, he could see that it was already filled with bacon from various animals.
There are hares, deer, wild boars, robes, badgers, and even two dog-like animals, two wolves that are skinning. There are two shelves in the corner, with two furs on them that are drying. One of them is gray.
The black one is obviously a bear skin. The other one is even more surprising because it is a tiger skin.
Based on where he is now, it should be a piece of Siberian tiger fur. There are many other furs piled in the corner. There are dozens of deer skins, wild boar skins and the like.
I hung the venison on a hook casually and waited until I had time to process it. Then I went back and put the cut potatoes into the pot, added a handful of salt, and waited for the meal to start.
It has been three years since I came to this world.
When Lu Xiao regained consciousness, he was the son of an Orion in the mountains. His father went hunting in the mountains in his early years and then disappeared. As expected, he was dragged away by jackals, tigers and leopards. From then on, Lu Xiao lived alone in the mountains.
This era is not like the future. All kinds of wild animals are rampant in the mountains and forests. Let alone entering the mountains, even in the village, you may be attacked by hungry wild beasts.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao quickly restored his body to the level of his previous life. He had a feeling that although the effects of his previous life's exercise would not directly continue, it was as if they were hidden deep in his body.
After entering the new world, as long as he continued to exercise, he recovered 80% to 90% of his strength in about half a year. With his personal strength and bow and arrow skills, Lu Xiao was quite comfortable living alone in the mountains.
Of course, Lu Xiao didn't actually expect this time travel. After waking up again, he was confused for a long time. Only then did he finally realize that his template was not the ancient time travel flow, but the infinite flow.
When he came to the new world, Lu Xiao only had a brief understanding of the world. He knew that this place was after the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Then he settled down deep in the mountains and forests without any intention of officially entering this world.
On the one hand, he needs to recover the strength of his previous life as quickly as possible through training. On the other hand, after he established Yunxiao City in the desert in his previous life, the rest of his life can be called a military life.
Because the status of Yunxiao City became more and more important, the Xixia people's coveting of Yunxiao City became more and more undisguised. In the following decades, Lu Xiao relied on the city as a basis to launch a long tug-of-war with the Xixia people.
It is worth mentioning that because Lu Xiao was stuck at this point that made the Xixia people extremely uncomfortable, the war between Xixia and the Song Dynasty did not go smoothly.
The Song Dynasty also realized this and knew that Lu Xiao was a very useful chess piece. Therefore, they were not stingy with money and food. For the Song Dynasty court, as long as they spent some money, they could avoid war. It was really a good deal.
Already.
Of course, Lu Xiao can enjoy this kind of treatment because he is the transfer envoy of the Song Dynasty. But in fact, he controls all the rights of Yunxiao City and has absolute autonomy, which is completely different from other feudal history of the Song Dynasty.
Concept. Therefore, he can get enough support.
Yes, the reality is so magical. Because Lu Xiao is not a real member of the Song Dynasty. At least the Song Dynasty court does not think he is. That's why he can get support.
A powerful and powerful king of the Western Region accepted the canonization of the imperial court. It was also a very honorable thing for the Song Dynasty. As for obeying the instructions but not the announcement, it was just a trivial matter. All he wanted was this righteous name.
.
Of course, if Yunxiao City really surrenders to the Song Dynasty... Haha!!
But the Song Dynasty is not without its benefits. Although it is called a coward by later generations of netizens, there is one thing that cannot be said: it is rich. Every time Lu Xiao wins a battle, he naturally asks for a reward from the court. The Song Dynasty
The imperial court also never contained lakes.
Lu Xiao sometimes thought that if the local generals of the Song Dynasty could have such treatment, with the economic foundation of the Song Dynasty, they would have beaten Xixia and Liao to the ground long ago.
Again, if the other military generals of the Song Dynasty had dared to play like this, they would have been beaten to death by the civil servant group in the court. You must know that the Song Dynasty is famous. The military generals defeated the era of losing officials and winning the era of losing heads.
But Lu Xiao was an exception. The civil servants in the Song Dynasty saw that Lu Xiao's ambition was not in the Central Plains. They were relatively relieved about him. Of course, it was because Lu Xiao was in the Western Regions as the emperor. They couldn't do anything about Lu Xiao.
According to the Civil Service Group of the Song Dynasty, just spending a little money and food can make Lu Xiao and the Xixia people fight dogs. The Song Dynasty sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, enjoying the benefits of the fishermen. This is the best strategy for dynasty hegemony. This is
The entire civil servants of the Song Dynasty praised Qianqiu's achievements.
Therefore, Lu Xiao relied on the Song Dynasty to get money and food. With this logistical foundation, he was able to live with the Xixia people for half his life.
After fighting for half his life in his previous life, Lu Xiao regarded this life purely as a vacation at first.
