Chapter 98: Traveling for money

This great victory also alarmed the Khitans. The Liao general Yelu Honggu, who was ordered by the Liao emperor to attack the Zubu people and look for the assassination of the emperor, was responsible for the West Zubu area. At this time, he was fighting with some of the Zubu tribes. He was shocked when he heard the news and issued an order to summon troops and prepare to immediately lead the army south to sweep the Hualie tribe on this grassland and seek justice for his tragic death subordinates.

However, the battle with other Zubu tribes was still going on. For a moment, he had no time to look south. On this grassland in the southern part of Xibubu, he became the world of Hualie tribe.

In the early morning, Luo Dacheng led a large number of troops to gallop on the grassland, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, felt the breeze blowing on his face, and felt the calm and joy in his heart.

On the grassland, tens of thousands of horses galloped past. The horses belonged to his tribe. This vast grassland and large grasslands were filled with his tribes everywhere, grazing on the grassland, and white lambs were dotted on the green grassland, which looked gratifying.

In the distance, Meng Yilan rode a horse and wield her whip. The breeze blew on her face, and she laughed happily, exuding wild beauty and a strong atmosphere of youth on her body.

Behind her, many women following her on horseback, holding bows and arrows in their hands, shooting sharp arrows from time to time, allowing the arrows to be inserted on the targets inserted on the grassland.

Under the leadership of Meng Yilan, women also began to practice riding and shooting techniques extensively. When men go to war in the future, they will take their children to protect their tribal camps from the enemy.

Looking at Meng Yilan's beautiful face and her high and bulging breasts from afar, Luo Dacheng was slightly lost and remembered that after he rescued her in Shangjing, Liao Kingdom, he held her in his arms and ran quickly, but now he seemed to feel the warmth and smoothness of her body.

As if he felt his gaze, the girl Bu turned her head and looked at him on the back, smiling happily, and her snow-white teeth reflected the light of the sun, making his eyes seem to be unable to withstand the brilliant light, turning her gaze to one side and looking in the other direction.

There is a camp of Hualie tribe. In front of the dome where the herdsmen live, a gentle and lovely girl is treating the sick elderly and children on the grass. She takes out some herbs from time to time and lets them take them back and boil them into medicine and drink them. The disease can slowly recover.

The herdsmen of Shubu who were surrounded by Di Liniang all looked at her with respect, and the eyes seemed to be more respectful than when they saw Luo Dacheng.

The members of the Hualie tribe all knew that the wife was so kind. She was better than any wife of the tribe leader they knew. Any herder who was sick would come to treat him personally, ask him about his health, and take good care of the children. If it weren't for her herbs and careful care, I wonder how many herders might have died of serious illness.

The one who loves her the most is the children of the Hualie tribe. For the sake of their wife, they are willing to do everything for her. Every day, someone will go to dig herbs and bring them to Di Liniang, and you can see her happy smile. For the children, it is the happiest thing in the day.

Now Di Liniang has begun to help Luo Dacheng deal with local affairs in the tribe, such as disputes between some herders.

She is kind-hearted and fair in her work, and her decisions on some things convinced the herdsmen. Her wife's prestige in the tribe is gradually becoming established.

In terms of her ability to handle daily affairs in the tribe, she was not as good as Meng Yilan at first. But she learned very quickly. The fifteen-year-old girl began to show her ability to handle internal affairs. She was with Meng Yilan and handled all her internal affairs in an orderly manner. She saved Luo Dacheng Da's worry and effort. Every day, in addition to taking his troops to train combat skills, she was wandering freely on the grassland. Behind her, a large number of troops roared past the grassland, enjoying the free and happy grassland time.

She is not a slogan, but what does it matter? In the Hualie tribe, no one cares about her husband from various tribes. She came from the Han area. They only know that she was the most kind lady of the Hualie tribe. She treated them better than the leaders and wives of any tribe, reminding them of the goddess of the most kindness in myths and legends.

They did not understand Buddhism. If they believed in Buddhism, they would definitely think of Guanyin and connect her with Di Liniang.

At this moment, Luo Dacheng's eyes looked at her quietly, remembering all the past experiences.

This gentle and lovely girl is as delicate as flowers on the grassland, but she left her hometown for him and came to this grassland that is thousands of miles away. I wonder if she still has the chance to return to her hometown in this life.

In any case, he had to treat her well and let her live happily on this grassland far away from her hometown, just like in the small wooden house on their honeymoon.

Luo Dacheng took his gaze from her, avoiding Meng Yilan's gradually disappointed gaze in the distance, rode his horse across the grassland, leading a large number of troops to roar ahead, galloping in the wind.

...

Luo Dacheng discovered a problem: he was almost out of money.

Although he was already the overlord of this grassland, he had many subordinates and had more money. He spent a lot of his savings just to equip his cavalry with excellent equipment.

After such a large-scale dress-up, the equipment of the soldiers of the Hualie tribe was completely renewed, and with the hard work and training every day, they have become one of the few elite soldiers on the grassland.

He also planned to replace his subordinates with a good bow so that they could shoot further.

For this reason, he ordered a large number of strong bows from the smuggling caravan from Yunzhou, preferably produced by the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty's bowmaking technology was higher than that of other countries.

Moreover, he also hoped that Shen Wubao could help him invite several bow-making craftsmen, which would cost as much as possible. The salary was no problem. The key was that they had to be the best bow-making craftsmen and could teach their subordinates to learn to make excellent bows and arrows--all of them had to be strong bows.

The hard bow he is now using is strong enough, but no one can pull it away except him. He hopes to increase the range of his subordinates' archery, and besides strengthening their arm strength, he can only think of ways to create bows and arrows.

But this requires a lot of money. Although Shen Wubao did not accept his deposit for his life-saving kindness, he could not be able to pay back the debt next time he sent the bow, right?

In a distress, Luo Dacheng remembered the treasure map he had been keeping.

Let’s put down the silver medal first, the parchment has two sides, which contains records of Queen Loulan and the experience recorded by Keshan’s uncle.

According to the records on parchment, Keshan's uncle knew the location of two treasures. One was in Xingzhou, and the other was in the vast desert south of this grassland.

Before this, Luo Dacheng knew that just south of this grassland, after crossing the river, it was a long way to go. In the desert next to the grassland, the treasures written on parchment were the places he wrote on parchment. This was one of the reasons why he decided to establish a tribe here, because he was close, he could find out the treasures no matter when.

But since he came here, he has been busy with tribal affairs for the newly established tribe. The desert is not too far from this grassland, but not very close, and the desert is not so easy to walk on. Since he has never been short of money, he has dragged it down and has no idea to search for treasure.

But now all the affairs of the Hualie army are on the right track. Meng Yilan and Di Liniang lead their troops to do everything. The financial income and expenditure are under the responsibility of the Han accountant. There is no war for a while. The leader in charge of military operations has been idle and can have time to find the legendary Loulan treasure.

...

Luo Dacheng rode his horse on the vast grassland, and the cloak behind him fluttered backwards under the blowing wind, making a gentle sound of hunting.

Behind him, following a large number of guards, galloping rapidly on the grassland, dispersing in a fan shape, and surrounding him firmly.

It was Timur and Suge who led a fierce guard team to follow him.

After all, Luo Dacheng was already the overlord on the grasslands in the southern part of Xizhubu. When he went on a patrol, he was already hiding the spirit of a domineering man. These fifty guards were carefully selected from the troops, and they were both good at martial arts and loyal to him.

After several battles, Luo Dacheng had established an indestructible prestige among his tribes. The tribes began to have a fanatical superstition feeling about him, and many young warriors regarded him as an idol and worshiped him.

Luo Dacheng's guard team was selected by Meng Yilan himself, and young soldiers loyal to Luo Dacheng and good martial arts were selected from the troops to form his guard team.

During this trip, Luo Dacheng brought fifty guards, Timur and Suge were also accompanying him, crossing the river and heading towards the southern desert.
