Chapter 180 Crisis Lurking
After leaving the Baisheng Pass, the north is the territory of the desert.
The team of brides stopped in front of the pass. Princess Lihua got out of the car with the help of the servants and looked back at Xiongguan. The pass was his hometown and he might not return until he parted. Princess Lihua Shi Qiuyun burst into tears and bowed down. No matter how strong she was, she was a girl who was only sixteen years old. She was far away from her parents and relatives and married into an unknown country. Except for a few maids and servants around her who were married, there was no relative. From then on, her fate was unpredictable. How could she not be sad and frightened?
Jiang Anyi got off the horse and stood beside the charcoal. When he saw the princess crying, he felt sour. Thinking of his friendship with the prince Shi Fangdao, although Master Yu repeatedly warned him not to have any contact with the princess when he came, Jiang Anyi slowly stepped forward and advised: "Princess, don't be sad. Your body is in a heavy responsibility to protect the people of Dazheng and Dasha from the disaster of war. He has great merits. Jiang was inexplicably impressed. When he came, the prince told him that as long as three years or as many as five years, the prince would send people to visit the princess."
Li Man helped the princess up and said softly: "Princess, don't be sad. Although the desert is not as prosperous as Da Zheng, the grassland is vast and can allow the princess's flower to bloom. Xiao Wang will order people to build a palace to prevent the princess from any grievances."
Liman has a tall figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, clear edges and a full of masculinity. Princess Lihua was originally satisfied with this marriage, but now she heard Prince Liman's gentle tone and felt more relaxed. She was weak and powerless to get on the carriage under Liman's mix, and the team went north.
In May, Dazheng is already late in spring, and the desert is still desolate. Along the way is the sparsely populated Gobi Desert, with yellow turf growing hard among the sand and gravel, looking desolate. However, the world is connected and endless, giving people a sense of desolate and magnificence. Only heroes can gallop freely on this land.
The grass gradually became darker. Sometimes when I woke up overnight, I found that the outside of the tent was green. Looking around, the greenness ruled everything until the end of the sky. I saw a tent in front of me, and there were tribes living on the hillside, and on the hillside, there were continuous aries like clouds spreading on the green carpet.
The Golden Wolf Rider became excited and shouted and ran forward. Riding on the charcoal, Jiang Anyi could feel its excitement, loosen the reins, and rushed forward like a sharp arrow of charcoal. On the boundless grassland, the horse ran wildly, and the wind blowing towards him, making people feel relieved.
Li Man rode a red horse, a horse that was picked from thousands of miles from the grassland, and ran side by side with Jiang Anyi. The two rushed to the top of the mountain in a flash, stopped, and looked around. The sky was vast and the wilderness was vast. The wind blew the grass low and the cattle and sheep appeared. Jiang Anyi was intoxicated by the magnificent scenery.
People in the grassland love horses. Liman originally wanted to get close to Jiang Anyi, but was attracted by charcoal. He circled around the charcoal and gently combed his mane for the charcoal. He praised him: "Mr. Jiang, your horse is a good horse that you choose from in a million. If you can let it breed the mare in my tribe, I am willing to give 500 taels of gold."
In the distance, the Golden Wolf Cavalry led the people from the tribe to greet them. This was a small tribe with only more than a thousand people. The leader was a man in his fifties. He knelt in front of Li Man devoutly, kissed his horse boots, and spoke some disgusting words that Jiang Anyi could not understand.
Li Man smiled and helped the man up, Wen Yan answered in disgusting words. Although he couldn't understand the words of the two, Jiang Anyi secretly admired that Li Man would win people's hearts from the man's excited look.
The car was occupied by the tribe, and the red bonfire was burning, the cattle and sheep danced, and they sang with laughter. Even if they were not from the grassland, they were quickly conquered by this unrestrained happiness. The firelight reflected the youthful faces of the desert girls, and the graceful dance postures swayed with fire-like enthusiasm.
Liman came to Jiang Anyi with alcohol. Jiang Anyi also poured a lot of milk wine. From the initial discomfort to now, Jiang Anyi has fallen in love with this kind of wine with a sweet and milky flavor. He met with Jiang Anyi and Prince Liman smiled and said, "Sir Jiang, why didn't you go down to dance? Look how good Mr. Chen is."
Chen Yinguang danced around the bonfire, and could not see the respect for his daily life. He went to Beimo several times to learn to follow the customs and enjoy the happiness in it.
Jiang Anyi was a little unwilling to let go and concealed: "I like drinking, just watch others dance."
Li Man pointed to a girl not far away and smiled, "The woman in the desert is enthusiastic and unrestrained, dares to love and hate. I see that she frequently looks here. It should be because she is interested in you, An Yi. I wonder if An Yi is interested in a good marriage?"
Jiang Anyi smiled and said nothing.
"We are generous in nature and will not speak around. This time, I went to your country to marry Princess Lihua as my wife, which is a blessing; and I can see the prosperity of the country's wealth, Tianbao, and meet many heroes and heroes in Dazheng. I feel that this trip is worthy. Especially An Yi, you, the paper is the top scholar of the three Yuan, and the name of the poem is passed down from all over the country; martial arts can penetrate two ducks with one arrow, which made the emperor admire the emperor Fuying. Even Qu Master admired your article "Commentary on the Copper Bottle" and said, "If you get it, you can win the world."
Li Man stared at Jiang Anyi with a wide eyes and said sincerely: "Anyi, if you are willing to help me, I will report to my father Khan, betroth your younger sister to you and give you the right school king. My desert area is vast, enough to make you divide the territory and become king. Your wealth and glory are far more than what Da Zheng gave you. In the future, you will be able to raise troops south, even if you set off a river and stand up."
Jiang Anyi was stunned by the naked accusation. After a long time, Jiang Anyi said, "Prince, you are drunk, take a break early. I can't bear to drink and want to sleep."
Li Man walked into the tent prepared for him with a look of bad luck. The tent was brightly lit, and Qu Nidao leaned against the table to read a book. Seeing his apprentice pinched the silver cup on the table and twisted, Qu Nidao put down the book and said slowly: "How is it? I've hit a wall. I won't let you try it, you don't believe it."
"I treat him so sincerely, but he abandons him as a traitor, and he is hateful and can be killed." Li Man threw away the silver cup in his hand and said angrily.
Qu Nidao pushed the cup of milk tea beside him to Li Man and sighed: "Although you have learned from me for ten years from Da Zheng, you still have the indifferent thinking in your bones. You don't understand what Zheng people value most - family, country, relatives. Glory and wealth may attract some people. Do you still remember what I once taught you the sub-sage saying? Wealth and honor cannot be lustful, poverty and humbleness cannot be moved, and mighty and force cannot be betrayed. This is called a real man. I used to be such a real man, but I was inspired by hatred and willing to be a villain who sells the country and seeks glory."
"Master, you look down on Jiang Anyi too highly. How can he compare with you? You were a slave in Beihai for five years and did not change your ambitions," Li Manman said respectfully: "Can Jiang Anyi suffer that hardship? I think he will kneel down and beg for mercy in less than half a year."
Qu Nidao said expressionlessly: "It's still a long way to go to the royal court. You might as well try it more. It's okay to force and induce it. See if he can be considered a real man. When he arrives at the royal court, he will make a decision."
As he said that, Qu Nidao stood up, his eyes showed terrible madness, walked out of the tent, and laughed wildly as he walked: "Get talented and destroy it. It is a pity in the world. My Qu Nidao is called Nidao, which means he wants to act against the will of heaven."
The deeper the grassland, the scenery becomes more and more beautiful. In the distance are white snow peaks, and dense forests begin to appear along the way, covered with undulating mountains and fields, and colorful flowers bloom among the blue sky and green grass. By the stream of drinking horses, among the colorful water and stones, the phosphorescence of fish, and the wild sheep, wild deer and bison running along the way become the prey of wolf riders. At night, the prey is barbecued under the bonfire, drinking sweet horse milk tea, and listening to the moving songs is intoxicating.
Li Man has given up his persuasion to Jiang Anyi and only occasionally guides the scenery along the way. The Venerable Fuying made up the vacant seat and discussed archery techniques with Jiang Anyi all day long. Both of them were very interested in each other's unique skills. The Venerable Fuying learned from Jiang Anyi's mouth that the heart bowed arrows, and the way of nature was very inspiring to Jiang Anyi. Both of them benefited a lot from the occasional spells that each other revealed.
After walking around, I was used to seeing the scenery of the grassland, and it was easy to feel tired. In June, the car finally arrived at the Beimo Royal Court.
A very large city appeared on the vast plain, and countless tents filled the grassland like mushrooms after the rain. There were mountains in the distance, lakes by the city, girls in colorful clothes washing utensils by the lake, and countless knights galloping on horseback. There were more flocks of sheep in the distance than the white clouds in the sky. The grassland was colorful and there were singing and laughing everywhere.
A low trumpet sounded from the city, and a group of people rushed out from the city gate. Liman quickly came forward to meet him. Chen Yinguang smiled and said, "The Wang Ting sent someone to welcome him."
Jiang Anyi looked at the city in front of him. The walls were about three meters high and made of black stones. They were not regular, but they looked solid enough. Arrow towers were towering everywhere. Most of the grasslands were cavalry. These arrow towers were nightmares for invading enemies. When they entered the city, there were few brick-and-wood buildings, with tents everywhere, and the smell of cow and horse dung floating in the air.
The cavalry led the chariots into a group of tents, and the complex flags were dancing over the tents, including wolves, bears, and eagles, which were totems of different tribes. The princess's chariots were led to disappear into the tent community. Chen Yinguang and his delegation were waiting in front of a fence for the reception of Khan Baduwushi of the Northern Desert.
In the golden tent of the Khan's royal court, Baduwushi was listening to his second son Liman report to him about the harvest he went to Dazheng. "...5,000 stones of grain, 100 stones of good varieties, 2 boxes of medical books, three cargoes of medicinal materials, masons, stonemasons, carpenters, blacksmiths, gold and silver smiths... and a number of gold, silver, treasures, satin and other things."
Baduwushi asked with a smile: "I am still satisfied with your sage. The eagles on the grassland have grown up and have to start hunting by themselves. After getting married, you will be the King of Youguli of the desert, and you will guard the southeast of the desert."
Liman was overjoyed and bowed to the ground, saying, "Thank you, Father Khan."
The Khan was divided into the left and right wise kings and the left and right Guli kings. At present, the left and right wise kings were the last kings of Wu Shi, and the right and right wise kings were the north. The left and right wise kings belonged to their two sons, and Badu Wu Shi firmly controlled the power of the desert.
