Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 67 The Sword

Naturally, Tatu didn't see clearly how Lu Bu shot. He lowered his arms and looked alternately at Xiu Yuan and Lu Bu's faces.Xiuyuan's cheeks were slightly warmed by Tatu's straightforward eyes, and he raised his hand angrily and patted Lu Bu's head several times, "Fengxian, you shot too hard."

Lu Bu was surprised, "He didn't have any missing arms or broken legs, and he didn't even see blood. It's a heavy hand. Do you want me to go up and touch his stinky face? Those who talk like this are either bad eyes or bad brains." It's easy to use." As Lu Bu said, he touched his chin playfully, and joked, "If you really touch his face, it will lower the style of Lord Hou."

Xiu Yuan was stunned by Lu Bu's sudden indecency, and subconsciously retorted: "Aren't you full of straws? What kind of style can you have?"

"Master Hou can also play the flute, why is his mind full of straws? If Qinghe doesn't believe it, Master Hou, I'll show you a demonstration." As he spoke, he really lowered his head and brought his warm mouth and nose closer, making a gesture To kiss Xiuyuan's face.Xiu Yuan shoved Lu Bu's big head aside in embarrassment and abruptly changed the subject: "Isn't General Tatu going to take us to the horse racing festival? Why have you been here in a daze? Are you afraid that we will steal the sword?"

Tatu's Central Plains dialect is very good, so he naturally understands another meaning of blowing flute, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu and Xiu Yuan would have such a relationship.In a hurry, he distanced himself from them, and led the way resentfully, without saying a word.

Xiuyuan didn't care about these things, and felt uncomfortable after sitting on the horse for a while, so he simply pulled Lu Bu to the Chitu horse and shouted to the three barbarians in front: "Tatu, it's not you who want to arrest him." Is this a horse? Why do you still want to be lazy and let us take care of it?"

Hearing this, Tatu stared at Xiu Yuan's side face with wide eyes, and Lu Bu snorted heavily with frost on his face: "If the general keeps staring at Qinghe like this, I can't guarantee that there will be something missing from the general. "

Tatu was taken aback by Lu Bu's hostility in a blink of an eye, but saw that the Zidian horse had slowly fallen behind the crowd, so he had to bite the bullet and ask, "Sir, are you sure you want to hand over the horse to us? Even in the entire grassland, it is a rare divine horse, according to the rules of our tribe, it is now your private property."

Xiuyuan rode the horse stiffly for a long time, feeling uncomfortable all over, and snorted impatiently: "If you hadn't been unable to defeat Fengxian, I'm afraid you would have killed people and seized the horse long ago. What kind of etiquette and shame are you talking about. It's really disgusting, quickly take that broken horse to the front and lead the way, and if you say a word of nonsense, you will cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs, anyway, you don't need a tongue when you are on the road."

With the previous lesson, even if what Xiu Yuan said was very unpleasant, the two guards of Tatu just glared at him angrily, then quickly looked away and went to the back to lead the horse, obviously because of Lu Bu's existence Very jealous.As the saying goes, high-skilled people are bold, and Xiu Yuan doesn't care at all whether they will play tricks or not. He just wants to grab the Qinghong sword quickly so that he can hunt the fox. Lu Bu is enough, and we can't keep dragging ourselves back to the tribe.

After Lu Bu sat on the back of the red rabbit horse, Xiu Yuan calmly put his sore legs and feet in Lu Bu's arms, tilted his head and began to doze off.Because there was no need to hurry, Lu Bu simply walked more slowly. Although Tatu, who was leading the way, noticed it, he had no other choice but to slow down in accordance with their pace.By the time they all returned to the northern tribes, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon.

Xiuyuan squinted in Lu Bu's arms for several hours, and when he woke up again he was in good spirits and in a good mood.He raised his face to look at the thin starlight hanging in the night sky, and the hot air from Lu Bu's mouth and nose sprayed directly on his face: "Qinghe, are you hungry? The barbarians have prepared a lot of barbecue, do you want to eat something?"

Xiu Yuan turned his head, met Tatu's eyes, and nodded towards him with a chuckle: "It seems that Tatu is not a general, at best, he is just a half-child who ran away from home. Let me give you the coming-of-age gift first."

Tatu was startled when he heard the words, and the question in his heart had already blurted out: "How did you find out?"

Xiu Yuan didn't want to pay attention to him, and took the roast leg of lamb that Lu Bu handed over to himself, and said, "Eating barbecue on the grassland really has a special taste. I wonder if Young Master Tatu knows where the Qinghong Sword is placed?"

"How on earth did you see through my identity?" Tatu didn't answer Xiuyuan's question directly, but just repeated the question he had just asked.

"Although I don't know much about the barbarian tribes, I know very well that in the tribes, a guy with low martial arts like you is absolutely not qualified to be a general. Since you are not a general, but you know the secrets of the horse race festival prizes, it is very Obviously, the status in the tribe is not low. If it is not for the generals and priests, only the sons of Khan can have this privilege. After all, the tribes in Mobei are not as complicated as the official positions in the Central Plains. I am afraid that you are not the next person in the tribe. Heir of Khan, otherwise, if you don’t have any horse race prizes, countless warriors will win them back for you.” Xiu Yuan didn’t have the patience to let Lu Bu go from tent to tent to find the whereabouts of the Qinghong Sword, so he simply spread the matter out, which can be regarded as various. Get what you need.For a helpless and idle son, recruiting his own power is obviously much more attractive than a mere sword.

"Your Excellency has good eyesight. I'm afraid a wise man like Your Excellency is not as simple as a hunter even in the Central Plains. It's just a sword, so it's not worth taking such a big risk for Your Excellency." Tatu lowered his head and moved his hands casually. Putting it on the campfire, poking the fire from time to time, the whole face was hidden in the orange light and shadow, and the emotions on the face could not be seen clearly.

"The prince was joking. Feng Xian will grab what I want, even if he grabs it. Unless you cancel the horse racing festival now, otherwise, the Qinghong sword will still be in my pocket by then. Just because you don't Big or small tribes, even if they fight together, they can't hurt Fengxian at all. If you don't believe it, you can try it. I think the current prince should understand better than anyone else. If you want to get something, you must have something that matches this thing. strength and influence. Just like Zidian, even if we give it to you now, it may not be snatched by your brother under some name. I have always been impatient. After half an hour, if the prince still does not Ken let go of the whereabouts of the Qinghong Sword, and I asked Feng Xian to kill people. Kill them all and then search slowly, you can always find them, right?" Xiu Yuan casually threw the meat and bones he had eaten into the In the fire, the bones covered with pine oil made a dull sound in the flames, and after a while, wisps of black smoke rose from the center of the campfire and quickly dissipated into the night sky.

Tatu bowed his head in silence and didn't speak, and Xiu Yuan didn't urge him, he habitually leaned himself against Lu Bu's arms, rubbing his nimble fingers on Lu Bu's body indiscriminately: "Fengxian, I've been riding a horse for a long time today, and I'm tired. It's very, please help me press it."

Lu Bu tightened Xiuyuan into his arms with a good temper, and pressed him lightly: "Which day will Qinghe not be tired? It is obvious that the one who practices martial arts every day is Lord Hou, but the one who is tired is always Qinghe. It is really too much." Willful."

"Feng Xian is right. Why don't we sleep in separate rooms from tomorrow? I don't know who is self-willed every day. I don't know who I learned from this bad habit of yelling and catching a thief. I haven't killed anyone after practicing martial arts for so long. These barbarians are just for Feng Xian to practice his skills, so that he can use up the extraordinary energy of Lord Hou." Xiu Yuan chatted with Lu Bu from time to time, but he was always distracted by Tatu.

"What kind of treasure is that Qinghong sword? Xiuyuan is so persistent? If this kid doesn't say anything, is it possible that we can really kill these people?" Lu Bu always listened to Xiuyuan's three words of killing, He faintly felt that something was wrong, so he simply used the sound transmission method to talk to Xiu Yuan.

Xiu Yuan gently squeezed Lu Bu's palm, and put his head on his shoulder: "Don't worry, Feng Xian, this kid will agree. Even if he doesn't want to say it now, it won't stop us from participating in the horse race in a few days What's more, he said that he can sell us a free favor now. Since he has the ambition to seize power, he won't even think about it."

"No matter who is the khan of the northern tribes, it's a matter for Mobei. What's the benefit of intervening rashly?"

"Fengxian, you are wrong. Xiliang City looks stable now, but it is dangerous. The Cao Wei army in the north is watching, and there is a group of barbarians in the west, so we are on guard against whether they will stab us at a critical moment. , it would be better to assist a mediocre Khan early on. Tatu is timid and has no ambitions. He is a good candidate. His being a Khan will benefit Xiliang without any harm. We cannot be trapped on the battlefield for the rest of our lives. Isn't it good to plan early?"

When Xiu Yuan said these words, his voice was very low, but his expression was extremely serious, and his warm eyes fell directly into Lu Bu's eyes.Lu Bu felt warm and soft in his heart: "Qinghe, I can't bear the fact that you are always planning to hurt those irrelevant Xiliang people. If you want to leave, we don't have to go back."

Before Lv Bu could speak, Xiu Yuan stretched out his fingers and pressed his lips and tongue: "Feng Xian, now you and I are both cultivators of immortality, it is always good to accumulate some merits, and you must not speak nonsense in the future. Shou, the test of the Dao of Heaven must be passed no matter what. I suffered a great loss from dishonesty in the past, so you must not repeat the same mistakes."

Lu Bu heard Xiuyuan's serious tone, but there was still a hint of anger between his words.Hastily nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Qinghe, you can do whatever you want, isn't it just to assist a waste to be the Khan of the tribe in the north, just leave it to Lord Hou, don't worry about it."

When Tatu heard Lu Bu's words from the side, he was overjoyed and quickly took up the conversation: "I'll tell you where the Qinghong Sword is."
