I thought about it and said, "Probably because I like to meddle in other people's business."

The Iron Cavalry King looked at me calmly, and the light in his eyes became sharper: "What happened more than a hundred years ago?"

I always thought that people who can fight and fight are usually straightforward and will not take too many turns, but I forgot that people who can use military genius skillfully will not be stupid people.

He is not that easy to fool either.

I was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Okay, this is nothing to others, but maybe not nothing to me."

The Iron Cavalry King looked at me with bright eyes.

I said, "Because the Longxi Army may have something to do with my ancestors."

"What?"

The Iron Cavalry King immediately frowned: "With your ancestors? Are they not--"

Halfway through his words, he stopped and took a sudden breath: "You, you are--"

I looked at him with a smile.

“…”

The Iron Cavalry King stared at me, was silent for a long time, let out a long sigh, and said, "It turns out that I am not aware of Mount Tai."

They don’t know about this, but it’s not a secret. If someone wants to inquire, they can still find out. I simply told the truth and smiled calmly: “What is Mount Tai? It’s just a small landfill left by the wind and rain erosion for many years after the collapse of Mount Tai. Now, anyone can step on it. Telling it out is also a slander for the ancestors.”

The Iron Cavalry King looked at it and shook his head and said, "A person like Miss Yan will not discredit any relatives."

I smiled faintly.

After a moment of silence, the Iron Cavalry King returned to the topic just now, and he said: "Ms. Yan wants to know what happened to the Longxi Army?"

"Do you know how they were destroyed?"

The Iron Cavalry King shook his head without even thinking about it, and then said, "This has happened a hundred years ago. Even though it was a mystery back then, my grandfather once mentioned this when I was a child, and he was just regretful."

"oh……"

I don’t think I can really get the truth. Sometimes, some things can not be achieved by just a strong desire. It is not easy to understand and get close to a mystery a hundred years ago.

"Then, can there be survivors in the Longxi Army?"

The Iron Cavalry King looked up at me.

"Ms. Yan believes that there are survivors in the Longxi Army?"

"It's not my opinion, I'm just a guess."

“…”

"Or it's my hope. It's a pity that such a brave and warlike army, such a commander, will be destroyed, and a trace of blood will not exist."

The Iron Cavalry King didn't say anything, but his eyes gradually became deeper and he only looked at me. After a while, he said, "Yes, such a brave and warlike army, such a commander, would be a pity if he really didn't have any blood left."

He did not answer my question, but said, "Apart from that, do you have any questions to ask me?"

I looked into his eyes and said, "There is one more."

"It's also about the Longxi Army?"

"No, it's about the Pei family."

“…”

I calmly raised my head and looked at his bottomless eyes and said, "Actually, there is one thing I have always been wondering. Why is the Pei family who finally occupied the Central Plains with such a powerful force?"

“…”

"They do not belong to any of the eight heavenly kings, and even their surnames are not the surnames of people on the grassland."

“…”

"Why are they?"

“…”

The Iron Cavalry King looked at me deeply, and I felt that there were many things colliding in his eyes. It seemed that not only I was asking him, but he also had many things to ask me, but he did not do that, and just said, "If you want to say this, you will have a long sentence."

"I'm willing to listen carefully."

"Okay," he reached out to brush his clothes, and slowly sat back on the edge of the bed, with his hands flat on his knees. But this time, he was not as calm as before, I felt that he rubbed his knees with his palms, and then said, "Miss Yan also knows that the grassland is very vast, but the land is vast and sparsely populated. Moreover, our people are used to herding horses and sheeping sheep in such a vast place, and living through water and grass. This is a habit we have formed over thousands of years."

"Just like the southerners farming textiles."

"Yes," he nodded: "It's easy to occupy a place, but I think Miss Yan understands very well that it's not easy."

“…”

"So, sometimes, they would rather plunder."

I know who he said "they" was.

When the war in Dongzhou City began, Luo Shi did not have the idea of ​​going south to annex the Central Plains. Although it changed later because of Huang Tianba's appearance, I think that for a deeper reason, he should also realize that the grasslands are already vast and sparsely populated. How can he occupy the same vast Central Plains and govern such a large place?

For them, the Central Plains is a pity to eat without meat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

That's why I cooperated with Pei Yuanxiu.

I thought about it and said, "Let me add a little extrapolation. If you were in charge of the victory of Beijing, how would you deal with your relationship with the Central Plains?"

The Iron Cavalry King laughed: "Ms. Yan can ask me clearly whether I will plunder and whether I will continue to fight with the Central Plains."

I looked into his eyes: "Can you?"

The Iron Cavalry King said, "I have lived on horseback for half of my life, but it does not mean that I have to do everything on horseback. The herds of our tribesmen are used to herding horses and herding sheep is our wealth; the southerners are diligent in farming and know how to make salt and iron, which is your wealth. Wealth is used to make wealth, and this is the way to make money."

I looked at him in surprise. After a while, I said with a smile: "For the first time, I know that the Iron Cavalry King is also a businessman in addition to being brave and good at fighting."

The Iron Cavalry King said lightly: "A horse can be ridden for a lifetime, but a battle cannot be fought for a lifetime."

I nodded gently.

Although this is just a distraction, I vaguely feel that perhaps the answer he gave is the most precious thing I have obtained.

He said, "I've finished talking about it. Does Miss Yan have anything else to ask?"

I said, "Yes, I want to ask the Pei family's origin."

The Iron Cavalry King didn't seem to be surprised by this question. I even felt that he had been waiting for this question since the conversation just now, but when I actually asked, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
