Chapter 24 The Western Commander (1)

Speaking of which, Jincheng belonged to the Qiang area at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

According to geographical location, Jincheng is located between the present Xining and Lanzhou, and it was still very desolate at that time.

The west is the Great Qiang area, which is home to hundreds of Qiang tribes of all sizes.

To the southwest is Jishi Mountain. You can reach Longxi in about 45 days by traveling along Tao River.

Dong Qi rode on the spotted beast and raised his eyes to look around.

The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The desolate and vast scenery in the west is completely different from the scenery he had seen in Lintao. Here, the sky is high and the ground is wide. When you gallop on your horse, all the unpleasant moods seem to disappear all of a sudden.

Although it has been recognized by the Lion Mane Beast, Dong Qi does not think riding it now is a good thing.

According to the Sutra of the Horse, the real maturity of the lion-maned beast should be between six and seven years old. It will be thirty years later, or it will be longer. The lion-maned beast A Chou is only over one year old now and is not suitable to be Dong Qi's mount. At this age, it should be freely galloping in the vast world and develop more soundly.

Feed with the best feed and gallop across the northwest land.

Perhaps in a few years, when the lion-maned beast A Chou truly grows up, he will complement Dong Qi.

So, Dong is not in a hurry.

He had enough patience to wait for the lion-maned beast A Chou to fully grow up. Isn’t it only take five or six years? By then, Dong Qi would be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and it would be very happy to cooperate with A Chou. But now, we should still maintain the nature of the lion-maned beast A Chou and let it grow up happily and worry-free. Looking at the lion-maned beast, Dong Qi smiled.

"Young Master, what are you laughing at?"

"Lu Yi, you said, who is more powerful than the Red Rabbit Horse that A Chou gave to his father in the future?"

Although Lu Yi has changed her name to Dong Lu, Dong Qi is still used to the original method of addressing. Lu Yi also feels that the old name is easier to hear. When she heard Dong Qi's question, she covered her mouth and chuckled: "I have never seen the Red Rabbit Horse, how can I know who is powerful? However, even if the master keeps it, the Red Rabbit Horse is still missing its original nature. According to me, if it is better, it is still the young master's Ah Chou."

Dong Qi was very happy when he heard it.

Even though he knew that Lu Yi's words had a pleasing taste, he was just willing to listen.

People always like to listen to good words that are pleasant to the ears. Besides, the Lion Mane Beast and he use the same nickname. Dong Qi's expectations for the Lion Mane Beast are naturally much higher than those of the Red Rabbit Horse. Is the Red Rabbit among the Horse? Maybe it will be changed to the A Chou among the Horse.

Dong Qi was so happy when he thought of Ah Chou's future growth.

A sharp whistle was heard, and the lion-maned beast A Chou immediately responded with a long hiss and rushed from a distance.

*******

"A Chou looks much better!"

Dong Yu was in the horse team, watching Dong Qi urge the spotted beasts to compete with the lion-maned beasts. She smiled and said to Beigong Bo: "Two days ago, you look like he looks like he has lost his soul. It's only been more than ten days, and it seems that he has adjusted it."

Beigong Bo said: "It's normal that he is just a child."

Dong Yu shook his head gently, "Is he really a child? Beigong, sometimes I always feel that Ah Chou is older than us."

"Isn't that a monster?"

"Maybe... Whether it is a monster or not, it is my brother." Dong Yu's words suddenly changed, "Beigong, you seem to be in trouble these two days. Can you tell me that we are husband and wife, and we should share weal and woe."

Beigong Bo scratched his head and sighed and said, "Actually, I have no idea whatsoever when I became this Western Commander. Now the situation in Jincheng is complicated, and the situation in my clan is not optimistic. Although I have an official position in the court, I always feel it is difficult to deal with. In fact, you also know that I don't want to be an official, and I don't even want to be a leader."

Dong Yu's cheeks twitched, and his eyes immediately dimmed.

"Beigong, I know your personality. To be honest, I don't think you are suitable for this leader. But now that you have become the leader and become an official of the court, you must take this responsibility. You are worried..."

Before Dong Yu finished speaking, Beigong Bo nodded, "My second brother is very ambitious, I know. Moreover... I understand him, he is a person with great ambitions and talent. The greater the ambition, the more he is, he will be harmed, and even the entire clan. But some of the clans support him, and he has a lot of prestige among the tribes around him. I am really worried that he will bring disaster."

"Then kill him!"

Dong Yu's eyes turned cold and said, "Those who accomplish great things are not limited to the details. If you care about the whole clan, the best way is to kill him. If you kill your second brother, the differences in the clan will naturally disappear. If anyone rises up to resist again, I am afraid that it will be hard to hear the sound of the alone."

"But he is my brother, how can I do this? Big sister, if Ah Chou harms the family in the future, will you kill him?"

Dong Yu hesitated for a moment and looked at Dong Qi.

In the distance, Dong Qi was urging the horse to run, but it could be seen that although the spotted beast was divine, it was still no match for the lion-maned beast A Chou. In this round-trip game, the spotted beast was two horses behind A Chou, and the outcome was obvious.

Dong Qi didn't feel depressed at all. Aschou had this speed before he became an adult, which would be even more amazing in the future.

He laughed loudly, and encouraged the spotted beast under his crotch to cheer on. At the same time, Dong Tie, Dong Zhao and Lu Yi in the distance were also encouraging the spotted beast from time to time. With so many people's support, the spotted beast actually rose up again and caught up with a horse.

Dong Yu's eyes were very complicated and he said softly: "If there was really one day, I would definitely kill him with my own hands. If I can't kill him, it would be him who killed me... Beigong, the things in this world are actually that simple, just like a sheep will always be eaten by a wolf. When you go back this time, you must make up your mind. If you hesitate, you will only harm everyone."

“Let me think about it again, think about it again!

Beigong Bo was still hesitant, and Dong Yu sighed and stopped persuading him.

She knows this husband so well, she is a good person, a good person. But good people are not suitable for living here. The northwest is deserted. If you want to survive, you must be like the ferocious wild wolf in the northwest, otherwise you will be eaten sooner or later.

If Beigong Bo lived in the Central Plains, he might have become a famous scholar.

He is a Qiang man, but he admires the culture of the Central Plains. Whenever the famous scholars in the Central Plains have poetry, he always spends a lot of money to buy. This is a good thing, but on the land in the northwest, Dong Yu would rather Beigong Bo hold his big knife than hold the book all day long. Sometimes, Dong Yu felt that he was more suitable for survival than Beigong Bo.

Moreover, does Beigong Bo really understand these principles? Not necessarily, he was born and raised on this land.

Maybe he knew the rules here better than Dong Yu, but he was unwilling to admit it and was unwilling to face such cruelty.

*******

The first snow at the end of the second year came earlier than ever before in previous years.

Almost overnight, heavy snow fell from the northwest, which contrasted the world with a vast white patch of scenery.

The snowflakes were spinning in the bitter cold wind, falling and floating again.

Walking on the snow field, the wind and snow whistling, making people unable to even open their eyes, let alone moving forward in the snow. This sudden heavy snow lasted for two days and two nights. When the weather improved, the snow on the ground had already reached its deep calves. It was extremely difficult for the horse to move forward. Not to mention the ox carts holding items swaying on the snow, forcing the group to slow down.

Dong Chu loves the scenery of this snow field only.

I studied hard at home for twelve years, and although I couldn’t say that I had any talent, I developed this sentiment.

If you want to survive in this era, you must first learn to adapt to everything in this era. How useful can those things you learned in the past be in this era? I am afraid that people who have not come to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty will not be able to understand it.

It took twenty days to walk for more than forty days.
