61. Strange nomads
One day and one night after entering the grassland, we traveled nearly 400 miles of weights and measures at that time, which was already the limit of the single-day travel distance of the light cavalry team.
Especially at this latitude, September is already very cold. People say that they wear cotton in the morning, yarn in the afternoon, and eat watermelon in the stove. This is what they mean. This is a great test for the human body and will. Fortunately, I am surrounded by all the best in this field, and they can basically adapt to this series of harsh situations.
I encountered some herdsmen on the road one after another, and I asked them to join the team and take care of them. I could not let them go before the goal was completed to prevent the news from being revealed.
The next afternoon, when the front team suddenly stopped. I urged the horse to rush forward. It turned out that the sentry caught a herdsman and was interrogating it.
It is said that no matter what the family is asked, there are three words: I don’t know.
I was quite curious. When I walked closer, the battalion officer Pang Layuan was interrogating the old man from the family. When I saw me coming over and about to report, I raised my hand and signaled him to continue.
Pang Piyuan nodded and continued to ask questions, which was conveyed by the translator next to him.
I didn't care what he asked, but looked at the family seriously. The whole family had a total of seven people, an old man, an old woman, a young man and a woman, and three children. The children were two boys and one girl.
All the questions were always answered by the old man, and it seemed that there was always one sentence, which I didn't know. Listening to his thick nasal sound and looking at his rough black and red skin, he should be an authentic grassland man. But the occasionally cunning look in his eyes made people feel that this person is not that simple.
The old lady had nothing to say, fear and anger accounted for half of the eyes, and she could not tell anything special.
The young man and woman should be the children of the two of them. The man looked very similar to the old man, probably his son and the other one was his daughter-in-law. The two looked like they had never suffered any hardships.
There are two of the three children, and they have nothing to say. The rough skin and the vague plateau redness are authentic grassland people. The only boy standing at the end is thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair skin. Although his eye sockets and nose bridge are obviously grassland people, his temperament is different from the other two children. Although he tried his best to hide, his calm temperament cannot be changed.
I looked at these people silently without saying anything. Pang Piyuan asked for a while, and his heart was furious. He raised his whip and was about to slap the old man. The old man stubbornly closed his eyes, but still didn't speak.
I shouted softly, "Stop!"
Pang Piyuan looked at me in shock, not understanding what was going on, but he still stopped.
I shook my head and smiled, "It's useless. This person has his mission, and the bitterness of flesh is useless."
After saying that, I pointed to the unique little boy and said, "Take him down."
Seeing the direction of my finger, the old man suddenly became anxious. His lips moved a few times, trying to say something, but he quickly covered up his panic and still closed his eyes tightly.
Seeing this, I knew it. I turned around and said to Jiugui Masayoshi and Yuan, "Greeting this kid, maybe he knows something!" As I said that, I blinked.
Nine ghosts Masatoshi and Arima remained unchanged and bowed, "Yes! Sir!"
I came over and lifted the child down like a chicken. After a while, the child's screams and the sound of a whip whip came out there.
The old man could no longer pretend, and his eyes seemed to spew endless anger, gritted his teeth and said to me: "How can you do this! He is still a child!"
It's Chinese! Although the tone is a bit strange!
I smiled and said, "Why don't you continue to pretend? What about your integrity?"
The old man suppressed his anger and said, "What's the matter coming for me! Let my grandson go!"
I laughed, took two steps forward, gently patted the other two children on the head, and smiled, "These two are your grandchildren, I believe! But that child, not!"
The old man was told through my worries and said in a lost voice: "What?"
I listened to the screams that continued to come from behind, and said leisurely: "You acted well, but some things cannot be hidden. You want to protect this child so much that you forgot your own two grandchildren! They stood together, like peacocks and pheasants in the same nest, how could they hide it?"
I pointed to the two children and continued, "You asked them to stand in front and let the child stand in back, and when you talk, you just look at these two children, wanting us to think you are paying attention to them! Right?"
Speaking of this, the old man's face had completely changed. He looked at me in disbelief. He never expected that the young man in front of him would have such profound insight.
I looked at him quietly, and the old man looked at me for a while and suddenly said, "You are not grassland people! Who are you?"
I smiled and said, "Do you think you are qualified to ask questions now? Who gave you the courage?"
The old man suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, lowered his head and said for a long time: "Are you from the Ming Dynasty? What are you doing in the grassland?"
I smiled and said nothing. The old man pondered for a while, and suddenly shouted loudly: "You are here to attack the Black Carboniferous Tribe! They are fighting with the Ming people! It must be!"
This time I did not deny it, and the old man said excitedly: "If I was not wrong, then we are friends! Friends!"
I smiled and said, "I don't have a friend who doesn't know who the other party is."
The old man bowed to me and said, "Dear General, I am Asig, the right elder of the Wun'er tribe. What is your name?"
I smiled and said, "As you said, I am a general of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Qilan!"
Asig bowed again and said, "General Sun! I am very surprised that you are here. Please do not recognize you for forgiveing me for your sins!"
I nodded and said, "Elder Asig, why are you disguising yourself as a secret move forward?"
Asig replied angrily: "The Black Carboniferous tribe was not trustworthy and suddenly launched an attack on our tribe before attacking the Ming Dynasty! We were originally small tribes, and under their strong attack, the Khan died in battle, and the rest of them either died, scattered, or became slaves!"
He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took my hand and said, "General Sun! The child you just asked the khan to take away was the only flesh and blood of Prince Lakshen! Can you please let him go? He is the last hope of our clan!"
As he said that, he knelt in front of me and whispered: "General, you lead the brigade of cavalry and disguise yourself in the grassland. I must be to attack the Longtai Golden Sect of the Black Carboniferous Ministry! I am willing to be a guide! I am willing to be a guide! Please let the little prince go!"
I was overjoyed, and what he was waiting for was his words! I turned around and shouted: "Master-filial piety!"
Nine Ghosts Masayoshi and Yuan took the little prince Lakshin back to us soon. Lakshin ran a few steps and rushed into Asig's arms.
Asig looked up and down with a nervous look, looking at Lakshin to see how we treated him. I smiled and looked at Nine Ghost Zhengxiao. Nine Ghost Zhengxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry! We didn't hit him, we just took out the insects and scared him a few times. The children are afraid of the insects!"
Upon hearing this, Asig showed a grateful look and bowed again: "Thank you! General Sun! Our tribe members will never forget your kindness!"
I waved my hand with a smile.
Asig continued: "General Sun, if you really go to attack the Dragon-Taiwan Golden Sect of the Black Carboniferous Ministry, you will definitely not be able to find it as the same way!"
I said with an oh, "I hope to hear it carefully!"
Asig said seriously: "The Black Carboniferous Tribe has made great efforts recently and has attacked several surrounding small tribes one after another. Their territory has expanded, so they moved the Longtai Golden Sect westward to the west end of Hulunbuir Hailar! You will definitely not be able to find the same way!"
I asked in a deep voice: "Do you know how to go?"
Asig hit his left chest with his right fist and said, "I know! General! It's just our prince..."
I looked at the kid Lakshin, but unexpectedly he was looking at me without any hesitation, and suddenly said, "Grandpa Asig, let's go with General Sun!" It turned out to be a Chinese with a straightforward and standard Northeast Mandarin.
Asige and I were both surprised when they said this. But Laxhin continued: "Grandpa Asige, General Sun and others are going to attack the Dragon Territory Gold Sect of the Black Carboniferous Ministry, they are probably unwilling to leave to reveal the news! If you just want me to leave first, you may be afraid that my life will be lost!"
Asig just looked at me when he heard this, and I just smiled without saying a word. Laxhin continued: "We grassland children are not afraid of war! But General Sun, I have a request!"
I smiled and said, "You said!"
Lakshen said seriously: "If we take you to find the right place and you win this battle as you wish, then please allow me, Lakshen, the son of the devastated country, to follow you!"
Before I could answer, Asig said anxiously: "Your Highness the Prince!"
Lakshin interrupted him and said, "Grandpa Asig, you want to send me to the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the little emperor, but I know that the little emperor is a very realistic person, and the Ming Dynasty is corrupt, and I will not have a good end if I go, and I will only get further and further away from revenge!"
Asig pondered: "But General Sun is also a general of the Ming Dynasty..."
A gleam of gleam appeared in Laxhin's eyes and he smiled, "He is different! If I read it wrong... then I will think I am blind and recognize the wrong person!"
I laughed and said, "I didn't promise to help you get revenge!"
Lakshin shook his head and said, "No need! Some things are just accessories to other things!"
What an interesting child! First there was Su Qi and then there was this Lakshin. Are all the children on the grassland so smart?
I smiled and said, "Trade!"
Lakshin and I hit the right hand three times in the air! This is how to swear on the grassland!
I asked Pang Layuan to call the battalions and join Lakshen and Asig to re-study and plan the route. The new route is more than a hundred miles longer than what we planned before, but that is not a problem, it only took a few hours!
We set off again with this family and the young. I suddenly felt that I could win this battle! Because even the sky is blessing me!
Lakshin and I rode together. Looking at the boy's smiling expression, I suddenly felt that this kid will definitely not be simple in the future!
This is, the intuition of men!
Chapter completed!
