Chapter 23 Goodbye to the Old Ones

In the Romance of the Romance, Su Lie made a sword elusive, had superb archery skills, and outstanding strategy. Even Luo Cheng died at his hands. In history, Su Lie was also a powerful general with both wisdom and courage, and was more brave in his teens.

Su Lie didn't talk much along the way, and seemed aloof and lonely. He only talked to Changsun Sheng, and at most he just said hello to Yang Yuanqing. As for the others, he never paid attention to them.

But Su Lie was only fourteen years old after all. His arrogance was different from the kind of battle-produced young man like Yang Yuanqing. He still had the unique new aura and curiosity of young people. Seeing a group of yellow sheep drinking water by the river, he couldn't help but want to hunt.

Su Lie was riding a horse and galloping beside the flock of yellow sheep, holding a bow and arrow in his hand. He used a stone bow. He did not learn martial arts and took a strong and domineering path, but a skill type. Within a hundred steps, his archery skills were all shot. Even Changsun Sheng, who was known as the world's unparalleled archery skills, praised his archery skills.

Su Lie's arrows were like beads. In just a moment, three fat yellow sheep were shot down by him. At this time, he saw dozens of steps away, the fattest yellow sheep was running very fast, like the head of a flock of sheep. He drew his bow and shot an arrow, and the arrow was extremely fast. He was about to hit the yellow sheep's neck, and at this moment, a black arrow shot like lightning, and with a "dou!", he shot his arrow, knocking his arrow several feet away. The yellow sheep survived, ran across the river, and fled to the depths of the grassland.

Su Lie stared blankly at the black arrow inserted on the ground. He recognized that it was actually an iron arrow, which shocked him. When he turned around, he saw that Yang Yuanqing was holding a big bow in his hand and was looking at him coldly.

Su Lie traveled through the Sui world. His archery skills never met an opponent, which made him quite arrogant. Unexpectedly, he met a person more intelligent than him in the frontier today. Not to mention the ability to shoot high-speed arrows from a hundred steps away, what kind of eyesight and skills are required, which makes him even more incredible. The other party actually used iron arrows and iron arrows from a hundred steps away. Then his bow was at least a three-stone strong bow. He heard from his master Li Jing that only Yuwen Chengdu, the confidant guard of the prince who is known as the world's number one martial arts, used the three-stone strong bow. Today he saw another person.

But the other party knocked his arrow, and his rude behavior still made him quite dissatisfied. He couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, glared at Yang Yuanqing, and said angrily: "Why did General Yang shoot my arrow?"

Yang Yuanqing slowly stepped forward, used his long spear to lift his iron arrow and inserted it back into the quiver pot. Su Lie noticed that Yang Yuanqing's horse spear was also unique, long and thick, especially the head of the spear, which faintly showed a blue-red color. He heard from his master that this was a black iron falling from the sky, and it was extremely heavy. In other words, Yang Yuanqing's spear weighed at least 100 kilograms, which shocked him secretly.

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and said lightly: "There is enough food in the team, so there is no need to hunt yellow sheep anymore. If you just hunt and get up, three are enough. Everything on the grassland has spirituality and should not be ruined at will."

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and chased the team. Su Lie looked at him blankly and walked away. He looked at the three yellow sheep lying in a pool of blood and couldn't help but smile bitterly.





















Early in the morning of the tenth day, they began to see sporadic tents on the grassland. A tribe of the Tielegazans was distributed in this area. The main Gelegazans had moved westward and established the Khasa Khanate east of Yibohai (Balkhash Lake), but there were sporadic tents in the Jinshan area.

After walking north for more than ten miles, they walked up a low grass slope and finally saw a dome tent more than ten miles away, densely distributed on the clear and quiet lake Harry. It was the camp of the Khan of Qimin. The Sui soldiers immediately cheered.

Their arrival attracted the attention of the Turkish Youshou. The Youshou had already returned to report the message. After a moment, several young knights rushed over. When they saw that they were Sui soldiers, they were quite polite. A burly young man pressed his hand on his chest and smiled: "Customers from afar, are they passing by, or are they willing to be our distinguished guests?"

"Wutu, don't you know me anymore?" Changsun Sheng walked out of the team and said with a smile.

The young man's eyes lit up immediately, "It turns out it is General Changsun. Please go slowly and I will report to Khan."

He turned his horse's head and rushed towards the camps like a gust of wind. Changsun Sheng shook his head and smiled, "I'm still so impatient, it hasn't changed at all."

He turned around and smiled at Yang Yuanqing, "This is a warrior under Qimin Khan, named Wutu. He is a very good young man. I once taught him archery."

Qimin Khan was the Tuli Khan who was then stained with dryness.

Yang Yuanqing has never met him again since he met him in the capital city seven years ago. He didn't know what he was now. He remembered the princess of the Sui Dynasty again and asked with a smile: "Is the princess here now?"

The princess Yang Yuanqing refers to was Princess Yicheng. Princess Anyi, who married Rangan, had died, so Yang Jian then married Princess Yicheng, a royal family daughter, to him as his wife.

"It should be here too. She has been canonized as Ke Dun. Now our Sui Dynasty is powerful, and the Khan of Qiming relies on our dynasty, so he respects Princess Yicheng very much. I think that Princess Yi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was killed by Dulan Khan because of the country's demise. In fact, she is a pitiful person."

Changsun Sheng sighed, and he felt a little guilty. It was his counter-essay plan back then. He asked Tuli to persuade Du Lan, saying that the Sui Dynasty was going to marry the princess to him as his wife. Du Lan believed it, so he waved his sword to kill Princess Dayi of Northern Zhou. As a result, the Sui Dynasty married Princess Anyi to Tuli, which completely turned against Du Lan and Tuli, leading to a war breaking out five years ago. Yang Yuanqing stood out in that war.

"They are here!"

Yang Yuanqing stared into the distance and saw hundreds of knights flying towards this side. The leader was Qimin Khan Yangan. Yang Yuanqing had a very good eye. He could see clearly from a distance. Compared with seven years ago, Yangan was much older and still had a big beard, but half of it had turned white. Her gray hair fluttered with the wind, and she no longer had the same might as before. She had an old state. The lifespan of people on the grassland was generally not long, and most of them could only live to the age of thirty or forty.

While he was thinking about it, Rangan had already rushed to the front of the Sui army. He did not see Yang Yuanqing, so he turned over and dismounted and knelt in front of Changsun Sheng, "Rangan greeted Changsun Gong!"

He can have this today, thanks to Changsun Sheng's support for many years. He regards Changsun Sheng as his father in his heart. Changsun Sheng quickly helped him up and said, "Khan, don't be so polite. We are all saints and ministers, and we can perform the etiquette of peers."

"In front of Changsun Gong, Rangan will always be a junior."

Rangan stood up, he looked back at the Sui Army, but saw Yang Yuanqing at first sight. He was slightly stunned. After seven years, Yang Yuanqing's appearance changed a lot, but he still had a vague impression.

"Have we seen this general?"

Yang Yuanqing turned over and dismounted the horse and took out the golden dagger from the horse bag. Yang Su later returned it to him. He handed it to Rangan and smiled and said, "Does Khan still recognize it?"

As soon as the eyes lit up, he immediately remembered the incident of giving a knife to the martial arts competition.

"You are... the little hero who killed leopards?"

Yang Yuanqing bowed and smiled, "Khan's style is still the same, so glad to congratulate!"

"So it's really you!"

Rangan was surprised and happy. He laughed loudly, opened his arms and hugged Yuan Qing tightly. He looked him up and down, "We haven't seen each other for seven years! You have actually joined the army and have grown up."

Changsun Sheng was a little surprised, "You know each other?"

Rangan patted Yang Yuanqing on the shoulder and smiled, "Seven years ago, I went to the capital to marry Princess Anyi. I met this little brother in the city. I was quite destined to meet him, but I didn't expect that we would meet again."

He suddenly remembered that he didn't know Yang Yuanqing's name, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Although we are destined to be, I still don't know the name of the little brother."

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly and bowed, "My name is Yang Yuanqing, and I am now the lord of Dali City of the Sui Army."

Qimin Khan's eyes suddenly widened and said in surprise: "It turns out that General Yang, who took the golden wolf-headed banner of two big brothers, is a little brother. I have heard of the name for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be an old friend."

"General Yang is still...

Changsun Sheng smiled and said that Yang Yuanqing was still Yang Su's grandson, but when he saw Yang Yuanqing's eyes, he understood and changed his words: "He shot Datou in the battle against Datou five years ago and seized his king's flag. He is the rising star of our Sui army's border."

"Hmph! Just by him, can he shoot and hurt Datou?"

A jealous sneer came from behind Rangan. Only then did Yang Yuanqing realize that he was a Turkic boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding a golden back and a archer bow in his hand, with thick eyebrows and blue eyes, rough appearance, burly figure, and especially his shoulders were extremely wide.

Rangan turned around and shouted angrily, "Duji, don't be rude!"

He apologized to Yang Yuanqing: "This is my son Duji, a rough man on the grassland, and he doesn't understand etiquette. General Yang, please forgive me!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled. The story of his two-headed golden wolf-headed banner had already spread throughout the grassland. Some admired him, and some were jealous of him. Duji obviously belonged to a jealous faction. Yang Yuanqing had long been used to it and he would not take this kind of thing to heart.

Standing here and saying something for a while, Changsun Sheng pretended to be angry and said, "Khan, can't you even give me a glass of horse milk wine? This is not the Turkish way of treating guests!"

Rangan suddenly realized, and he kept saying, "Please! Please! I have prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome guests from afar."
