Ma Zhao hid in the corridor, watching his son drifting away. He couldn't bear it any longer. He fell into his husband's arms and burst into tears, chanting intermittently:
"The two sons took a boat ride and enjoyed the scenery."
"I would like to express my thoughts about my son and nourish him with my heart."
"The two sons took a boat and passed away."
"I would like to express my love for my son, and I will not be flawless and harmful."
This is a poem in the Book of Songs, describing a mother's concern for her son who is traveling far away.
Gai Xun gently stroked his wife's shoulder and back and comforted him: "Don't cry, please. Maybe my husband will be transferred to the capital soon, and won't we be able to reunite as a family by then?"
Ma Zhao's crying for a long time gradually stopped, and accompanied by Gai Xun, he entered his son's room to see if he had forgotten anything.
Under the light of a lamp, the room was empty, except for a piece of silk paper on the table. Ma Zhao came closer and took a closer look, and gradually stopped crying and burst out again.
The thread is in the hands of a loving mother, and the clothes on the wanderer's body are tightly sewed before leaving, fearing that he will return late. Whoever speaks of the heart of an inch of grass will be rewarded with three rays of spring.
The whole text is written in cursive, and the pen is like a wandering dragon, and the feelings of admiration are vividly written on the paper.

The road condition along the Weishui River in Hanyang County was not bad, but the three of them were dumbfounded just after they left the border of Liangzhou. To the south was the remnant of the Qinling Mountains, and to the north was the Longshan Mountains. The road next to the Wei River was squeezed by the two mountain ranges.
It became very steep and tortuous.
If it weren't for the beautiful scenery, Gai Jun couldn't imagine how to get out. At the same time, he secretly admired the Chinese ancestors Fuxi, Nuwa, Xuanyuan and the pre-Qin people. They led their people to conquer the mountains and ridges and enter Guanzhong with many difficulties.
Talking about the scenery, it is indeed beautiful.
God is obviously very fair. It is rugged and difficult to navigate here, but at the same time it has also given it a strange beauty.
Youfufeng is under the jurisdiction of the Secretary, and it is supposed to be the center of the Han Dynasty. However, along the way, we rarely see Han villages, but there are quite a few Qiang and Di people. Most of these people are descendants of those who were captured during the Liangzhou rebellion and surrendered. Naturally,
He doesn't have any good impressions of the Han people, and from time to time he casts cold eyes on them, as if he were looking at dead people.
On this day, the three of them passed by a Qiang village that was full of hostility to them. Gai Yin stopped the carriage and said to Gai Jun who was riding a horse: "Uncle Xiaozu, I feel that there is something different in the other person's eyes. Most of them are interested in our carriage and horses.
The treasures are here, you and Abai go first, and I come second."
Gai Jun also felt this way, and shook his head and said: "Abai can drive the carriage, let her go first, I will stay to help you." After saying this, he took off the bow on his back.
Gai Yin pursed his thick lips tightly, and the two of them got along day and night. He knew the personality of Uncle Xiaozu very well, so he knew how to persuade him not to move, and he had no time to persuade him anymore. He jumped off the carriage and went around to the back, untied the black horse tied to the rear of the carriage, and pulled him over.
Then he got into the carriage and called out to Ah Bai. At the same time, he took out a bow, two pots of arrows, and a knife. He carried the two pots of arrows behind his back, tied the steel knife tightly around his waist, and finally handed the riding whip to Ah Bai.
, tried to speak as calmly as possible: "Go along the road, don't look back."
"Husband..." Ah Bai's face turned pale, and his eyes shone helplessly.
Gai Yin held Ah Bai's cold little hand tightly and said with a naive smile: "They may not come after them. Even if they come after them and they can't be beaten, they can still run. Our horses are fast and it is easy to get rid of each other. If we walk quickly, we will catch up soon."
Yours." He seemed worried, and warned: "Remember, don't look back."
Watching the carriage go further and further, the two of them calmed down and just sat on the horse and waited quietly.
Having slaughtered tigers, why are you still afraid of people? Gai Jun looked extremely relaxed, "How many people do you think they will come?"
"This village is not big. There are still one or two hundred horsemen. How many come depends on how much they value us."
"But don't send out three or five people to deal with it. It won't be enough for the two of us." Gai Jun played with the black short bow in his hand with a gentle expression. The draw force of this bow is two stones and two hundred and forty kilograms.
, he has only been able to use it freely recently, and he believes that if he encounters a tiger again, he can kill it with one arrow.
"coming."
Gai Yin didn't need to remind him, the slightly trembling earth had already told him.
Gai Jun raised his head and saw dozens of Qiang knights with draped hair and ruffles rushing towards them with strange shouts. Their momentum was strong against the large smoke and dust behind them. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "There are thirty or forty knights, the opponent is really
Look up to both of us."
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was only a hundred steps. Gai Jun and Gai Yin calmly loaded their bows with arrows. They heard two bang-bang sounds. The first two of the Qiang cavalry team fell off their horses, and were trampled by the hooves of hundreds of horses behind them.
Turn into meat paste..
He killed someone. No matter in his previous life or this life, this was the first time he killed someone. I don't know whether it was because of the distance or because he was already accustomed to his identity as an ancient person. Anyway, Gai Jun didn't have any discomfort with killing people.
The two men took advantage of each other's weak bows and shot two enemies seventy paces away.
As the two sides got closer and closer, the Qiang people set up their bows and fired long arrows through the air.
The two turned their horses' heads, started accelerating, and dodged all the arrows in one go. Their riding skills were so high that even the Hu people could not.
Gai Jun pulled out several arrows and held them in his mouth. He turned his upper body behind the horse and guided the arrows to the arrowhead.
"Boom..."
The long arrow penetrated into the chest of the enemy horse with a sound of breaking through the air. The horse was in unbearable pain and fell to the ground with its owner. Then it was trampled on by its companions. There was no way to survive. On the other side, Gai Yin missed the shot. Looking back
Archery is extremely difficult, especially in the era without stirrups. It is not surprising to miss. Even with Jun Wushuang's archery skills, he can only give up shooting people and switch to shooting horses. In fact, shooting horses is more threatening on the battlefield. As long as people don't get shot.
If you hit a vital point, you won't die for a while, but shooting a horse is different. If the mount is injured, the knight can easily fall to the ground. If this happens, the knight can almost be sentenced to death.
Both sides were skilled in riding skills, but their mounts were of different grades. Even in the Western Region, where good horses abound, Gai and Jun rode on horses that were nowhere near the same. They quickly opened up a distance, and once they were out of range, they would slow down their horses, and when they got closer, they would speed up to get away.
, always maintaining "I can shoot you, but you can't shoot me." Within two miles of the Qiang people, there were more than ten casualties, and the remaining ten horses reined up their horses and did not dare to pursue them.
Gai Junzong rode up a hill, reined in his horse and turned around. Looking at the frightened and furious appearance of the Qiang people in the distance, he laughed heartily. He took out a wine bag from the side of the saddle, bit open the stopper and drank a sip, then threw it away.
Gai Yin, who seemed to be infected by him, also raised his head and drank happily.
After drinking the wine, the Qiang people on the opposite side neither came forward nor left. Without saying a word, they went down the hills to provoke each other, causing the other party to chase them. They shot several more people using the same method. This time, the Qiang people were really frightened.
He turned around and ran away regardless of the corpse of his companion.
The two looked at each other and laughed, then turned around and hurriedly drove for several miles to catch up with the carriage. Ah Bai was finally relieved to see that they were safe and sound, but they did not dare to rest assured, so they let Ah Bai drive forward while they hung in the back just in case.
The Qiang people seemed to be afraid of being killed and did not appear again. It was not until they walked for an hour and saw a Han village built like a castle at the foot of the mountain that they suddenly realized that the Qiang people would never dare to pursue them unless they became impatient.
They were lucky and never encountered any danger again, and arrived at Chencang on a day covered by thick clouds.
