Chapter 89 Tigers descend the mountain
The flowers and birds in Qin were already in the air, and the wind and sand outside the border were still cold. Listening to the barbarians and willows at night, it taught people to remember Chang'an.
There is also a poem that says that the country is fresh every year, and the wind and sand are blocking the walls every day. The sadness shows the willows in front of the courtyard, and suddenly there are thousands of them want to occupy the spring.
After Chen Guoting, Li Sanjian and other envoys of the Song Dynasty entered the Dading Prefecture of Liaozhongjing, the sky suddenly changed and the strong wind began to rage. It was dark and the earth was flying, and sand and stones were flying. The sky was covered with yellow sand and stones danced wildly. The strong wind swept past, making a "whimper" sound. The flying gravel hit the car, making a dense "dang" sound. The wind and sand blew on the face and the body, like a knife cutting.
"Is there a shelter nearby?" The wind and sand were raging, and he could no longer ride a horse. So Li Sanjian wrapped his head and face with a piece of linen cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes, holding the "whistling wind", walking hard in the raging wind and sand, while asking the accompanying Khitan envoy.
Because of the heavy wind and sand, Li Sanjian almost roared.
"Ambassador Li, there is an inn not far ahead, so you can rest." The Khitan envoy replied loudly after hearing this.
People should not behave like a person, and the sea water should not be measured. At this moment, all the Khitan envoys secretly admire Li Sanjian. Although Li Sanjian is relatively strong, he is also a scholar of a Song Wenren, but he is not as delicate as the Song Wenren in the past.
On the way to Dading Prefecture, Liaozhongjing, Li Sanjian rode his horse on horseback, never rode a carriage, and slept in the open air, just like an authentic northerner.
At this moment, the wind and sand were so strong that even the Khitan envoys who were accompanying him could not stand it. The envoys of Song and their followers, except Li Sanjian, hid in the carriage to shelter from the wind. Li Sanjian still insisted on staying with the "Snooker Wind" who was like a friend, and walked in a difficult situation in the raging wind and sand.
A person's character sometimes can be seen not only by what big things he is, but also by some inconspicuous trivial matters.
Li Sanjian nodded when he heard this, patted the horse's neck of the "Yowing Wind", and walked with his head down in the strong wind.
In fact, Li Sanjian couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to hide in the carriage to shelter from the wind. Li Sanjian was from the south in his past and present lives, and the south was basically like spring and the climate was pleasant. It was not as changeable as the north, and it was extremely harsh.
The bitter and cold land in the northern border was indeed like this, Li Sanjian said in his heart.
The envoys of the Song Dynasty represented the Song Dynasty and the face of a country. Li Sanjian was unwilling to let the Khitans underestimate the people of the Song Dynasty.
There were also seven-foot men in the Song Dynasty, and there were also strong and iron-blooded men in the Song Dynasty. They could not be like a little lady in front of the Khitans.
"Ambassador Li, after passing the woods, he arrived at the inn." A Khitan envoy shouted to Li Sanjian.
Everyone walked in the wild sand and soon came to a forest. The trees grew lushly and densely, forming a dense forest.
The dense forest was able to block the wind and sand, so everyone drove the carriage and led the horses, and quickly entered the dense forest.
"Brother Binwang, the weather outside is so bad, why are you going out? Go back to the car quickly." After everyone entered the dense forest, they could breathe for a while, so everyone stopped, took a break for a while, and then continued to set off on the road and rushed to the inn.
At this time, Song Zheng sent Chen Guoting to get out of the carriage and came to Li Sanjian.
Chen Guoting is not as physical as Li Sanjian. Li Sanjian has been healthy for a long time and has been trained by Roburi's "Death Training Camp", so he can still resist wind and sand and bad weather.
Chen Guoting was from Shanyin, Yuezhou, and was also a native of Jiangnan.
"No obstacle, no obstacle." Chen Guoting waved his hand and said, "The weather in the north is so bad, it is far worse than that of my Jiangnan."
I am just allowed to shake the majesty of the Song Dynasty, but why don’t I do this? Chen Guoting muttered in his heart, and he entered the dense forest at this time, blocking most of the wind and sand, and the bad situation was much better.
"Haha, it's only been a few days now, Brother Bin Wang is missing home?" Li Sanjian used a wet cloth to wipe the dust and sand on "Xiaofeng" body, and said to Chen Guoting with a smile.
"Brother, I left Jiangnan since the first year of Shaosheng and came to the capital to take the provincial examination. Since then, I have been appointed as an official and have never returned to my hometown." Chen Guoting sighed when he heard this.
Chen Guoting was a Jinshi in the first year of Emperor Zhezong of Song Dynasty.
"So that's it." Li Sanjian nodded and said, "I left my home and my eldest son after I was young, but my hometown was still weak. Li also left my hometown when I was young. Yes... In the fourth year of Shaosheng, I also left my hometown and never went back. Time was like water. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed, and time was a pig's knife, killing Li from a young man to a middle age."
"Haha!" Chen Guoting couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the word "pig killing knife", and asked Li Sanjian with a smile: "Brother Han Ren, as far as my brother knows, aren't you from Shaowu, Fujian Road? Did you pass by your house three times when you were an official on Fujian Road without entering?"
"That is the ancestral home. In Li's heart, it is not his hometown. My father's ancestral home was from Shaowu, Fujian." Li Sanjian shook his head and said, "But after his father was demoted to Danzhou, Qiongtai, he married his mother and then gave birth to Li. Therefore, Li was born in Danzhou and grew up in Danzhou, and his hometown was actually Danzhou in Qiongtai."
Speaking of ancestral home, Li Sanjian suddenly remembered his cousin Li Gang.
I heard that after Li Gang entered the Imperial Academy, the court then selected scholars, and the court ordered them to be the Jinshi. At this moment, he was an official in another place.
"So that's it... Brother Han Ren..." Chen Guoting said, suddenly stopped talking, widened his eyes, looked into the woods, opened his mouth wide, and suddenly appeared with an extremely fear on his face.
"roar......"
Just as Li Sanjian looked at Chen Guoting in surprise, a low growl suddenly came from his ears.
Tiger? Tiger roar?
Everyone followed Chen Guoting. Li Sanjian looked in fear. He saw a white-headed tiger lying in the woods at some point, half lying on the ground, staring at everyone, and the tiger's mouth kept making waves and roaring.
The tiger's yellow hair was mixed with black marks, and there were several white hair spots on its chest, abdomen and inside its limbs. It was as strong as a cow, strong and thick forelimbs kept digging the ground, revealing its sharp claws, and opened its tiger's eyes widened and stared at everyone. The tiger's eyes emitted a wave of terrifying light. When it opened its mouth, it revealed its sharp teeth like a sharp knife.
The appearance of the tiger is really frightening. Everyone is standing on their hair, and they are all stunned for a moment. They stay in place and don’t know what to do or are scared to the ground.
"小......" Crowd
The strong horse in the middle was frightened, either so scared that he wanted to break free from the reins and escape, or so scared that his four hooves became weak and collapsed to the ground, with his feces and urine flowing.
Li Sanjian's mount, "Xiaofeng", was a divine horse, and was also frightened and uneasy, but did not escape or collapse on the ground. Instead, he blocked Li Sanjian, stared at the tiger, and kept slapped the ground with his front hooves, as if to warn the tiger, and also as if to be ready to fight the tiger to death.
"Canglang!" Li Sanjian touched the King of Wu sword scabbard on "Xiaofeng"'s back, and pulled out the King of Wu sword with force, and stood in front of his chest.
The sword light flashed, and although Li Sanjian's fear decreased a little, it still did not completely eliminate it.
The King of Wu's sword cuts iron like mud, which is extremely sharp, but even if this majestic white eye is lying down and lets Li Sanjian cut it, it may not be cut to death.
.
.
Where is Wu Song? Show up and kill this extremely terrifying tiger.
.
.
This idea suddenly arose in Li Sanjian's mind.
Li Sanjian knew that there might not be Wu Song in this world, and even if there were, I wouldn’t know where he was.
.
.
In fact, even if Wu Song appeared immediately like a divine weapon descending from the sky, he appeared in front of Li Sanjian and fought to the death with this adult tiger, he was definitely not the opponent of this adult tiger. He fought with the tiger with his own strength. It is estimated that the tiger could swallow Wu Song in one bite with a single attack.
.
.
Three bowls are just a stern, and killing a tiger with bare body and empty fists is just someone's whimsical nonsense, unless the tiger killed by Wu Song is a sick tiger, a dying tiger.
.
.
If it were Shankui, Xu Biao, here, and possessed weapons and covered with iron armor, the two of them might have the power to fight.
An adult tiger can have a thousand pounds of force when slapping it, not even including the tiger's attack, biting, agility, etc., how can it be matched by a mortal?
"Don't move, don't move!" A famous Khitan envoy among the envoys of the Song Dynasty who had a little experience in exploring beasts whispered to everyone.
These people are tied together and may not be the opponent of this adult tiger. Therefore, the best way at this time is to calmly and stay quietly. You cannot anger the adult tiger. You only hope that the adult tiger will leave on its own.
Song's followers, the brave man among the Khitan envoys, quietly drew out his weapons and prepared to fight with the tiger.
"Roar..." After a moment, the tiger not only did not leave, but instead made another terrifying tiger roar and jumped towards everyone.
The tiger slammed and whistled, bringing out a mountain wind, which really made people shudder.
"Ah!!!" Everyone was frightened to see this, whether their legs were weak and unable to move, or they fled in scattered. However, several brave men mustered up their courage and tried to stop the tiger rushing towards them. However, the tiger was extremely fierce, tearing, pounced or slapped, and instantly pounced and biting several people.
"A evil beast!" At this moment, Li Sanjian saw the tiger rushing towards him, so he shouted angrily and raised his sword. "Xiaofeng" and Li Sanjian were close together, raised their front hooves, made a angrily hiss, staring at the tiger getting closer and closer.
At this time, it is no longer possible to escape. How can you escape the extremely agile and fast tiger? Therefore, instead of escaping, it is better to meet the tiger and fight it.
As for success or not, it depends on God's will.
