"How dare you!" The young man became furious after hearing Yang Hao's words and yelled at him, speaking in perfect Chinese.
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Why don't you dare? You are a man on the grassland, don't you understand the rules on the grassland? You were captured by Mu Lao, and as his private property, he has the right to transfer you to others. On the grassland
, isn’t that what you do? Look at what kind of life you are living, it’s so miserable, even women have to fight for food.”
He turned to the young girl and said with a smile: "Girl, it is much better for you to follow me and keep you rich, rich and well-dressed than to wander around on the grassland with this poor boy."
The girl didn't appreciate it and said sternly: "If you dare to lay your finger on me, I will kill you!"
Chi Zhong and Ma Zongqiang both understood what Li Guangcen meant. Ma Zongqiang immediately laughed and said: "Girl, don't be so harsh. When you become the woman of Imperial Envoy Yang and become pregnant with his child, if you are still willing to kill him, then you will have no choice but to kill him."
It’s up to you.”
The girl didn't expect these Han generals to be so shameless, and her pretty face turned red with anger. She wanted to curse but didn't know how to respond. Chizhong still put on the air of a general, coughed seriously, and spoke in a long tone.
He said: "Come here, please bring this little girl to Yang Qin's house, wash her and make her look nice. This general will go to the bridal chamber tonight."
Song Bingjia and Song Bingyi at the door came over holding back their laughter, dragged the girl up and left. The young man became anxious and shouted: "Chen Mo'er, let her go, you shameless Han people, you can do whatever you want."
Come at me."
Ma Zongqiang looked at him up and down, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid you can't do it... Yang Qinchen may not like him."
At this time, everyone in the hall couldn't help laughing. The young man glared at him and shouted sternly: "Xiaoye Ke'er is a hero on the grassland. After being caught by you, he didn't even frown if he wanted to kill or behead him.
But if anyone dares to bully my Chen Moer, we, the Yeli clan, will fight with you to the death from now on!"
Li Guangcen's eyes suddenly lit up, and Mu En, who had been standing behind him with an expressionless expression, moved slightly. A smile appeared in Chi Zhong's eyes, and he waved his hands, and the two Song soldiers let go of Chen Mo'er.
After retreating to the door, Chen Moer immediately walked over to the young man and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
Chizhong asked: "You just said...what's your name?"
The young man said word by word: "Xiaoye Ke'er."
Li Guangcen responded: "Since the Dangxiang clan moved eastward at the end of the Sui Dynasty, their language has become increasingly mixed, mixing the languages of many surrounding tribes. Han, Turk, Khitan, etc. The Khitan tribe has the word 'Nake'er', which refers specifically to the nobles.
Personal bodyguard, 'Xiaoye Ke'er' in Dangxiang language has roughly the same meaning, and also refers to warriors and bodyguards. This person should be the personal bodyguard of a certain Yeli clan master."
The young man puffed up his chest and sneered proudly: "I am not a guard, but a warrior, the most heroic warrior of the Yeli clan. My name is Xiaoye Ke'er, and I am the son of the leader of the Yeli clan!"
"The son of the leader of the Yeli clan!" Everyone's eyes lit up: "We have caught a big fish now, but... it seems that we have also caused a big trouble. The Yeli clan is the most ferocious clan among the eight clans in the party.
, even the Xiazhou Tuoba clan is reluctant to provoke them unless it is absolutely necessary, and now that they have captured the son of their clan leader, this time..."
Everyone looked at Chizhong, who had the highest military rank among the people sitting there. Chizhong's face darkened slightly, he leaned forward and asked in a deep voice: "Ye Li clan? What are you doing here?"
Ono Ke'er sneered and asked: "You Zhefu can lead troops to attack my clan, but can't we come to your prefecture?"
Chi Zhong's eyes flashed and he asked: "So, you are going to use offense as defense to counterattack our prefecture? Let me ask you, besides you, how many other troops are planning to attack us?"
Ono Ke'er raised her head and said nothing. When Chi Zhong saw it, he sat up straight and waved his hand: "Come here, please bring this little girl to the house for Imperial Envoy Yang. Let her wash and rinse and dress up nicely. I will be the general tonight."
I still have to go to the wedding ceremony."
Chen Moer shook his arms, broke away the hands of the two Song soldiers, and said loudly: "You don't have to be suspicious, we Yeli people are upright, and if we want to fight you, we are not afraid to let you know. We are now
We were chased by you and hid in the barren mountains. We had no food to eat and no clothes to wear. How could we have the energy to attack Fuzhou again? This time, it was because when our people went to your Fuzhou to buy medicine and returned, they found many Han people coming.
After settling down in Luhe Ridge, we wanted to grab some food and salt..."
Chi Zhong noticed that her expression didn't look like she was lying. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Take the two of them first and keep them under safe supervision. Don't let anyone escape."
After Xiao Ye and Ke'er were escorted away, Chi Zhong said with a solemn expression: "Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived here, the Dangxiang people came to stir up trouble. Now that we have captured the young patriarch of the Yeli clan, this matter... may be difficult.
It’s better.”
Yang Hao took the opportunity to say: "Yes, Yang came here for this matter. The water and grass here are rich, and it is indeed suitable to arrange for tens of thousands of people, but... this place is at the intersection of the three families of Li, Zhe, and Yang.
There is discord, and this place is the first to bear the brunt. How can these tens of thousands of people find peace? I am here just to see how to come up with a perfect strategy to eliminate the hidden dangers for the people."
"What's this..." Chi Zhong looked up and saw Li Guangcen sitting aside, listening to Yang Hao's words, and immediately stopped talking. Li Guangcen has been a hostage in the Tufan tribe since he was a child, and he is used to looking at people's faces and guessing their thoughts.
Seeing that Chi Zhong was about to stop talking, he immediately understood. He smiled slightly, stood up and said goodbye: "The two adults want to discuss official matters. It is inconvenient for me to stay here any longer, so I say goodbye."
Li Guangcen said goodbye and came out. Mu En, who had been standing behind him like a stone sculpture, was still expressionless and followed him out silently. After leaving the cave dwelling, he saw many temporary tents set up on the grass in the valley.
The people who live there are scattered in tents, like mushrooms blooming on the grassland.
Although they had just experienced an attack by the Dangxiang tribe, the valley was now peaceful inside and outside. Under the sunset, many hardworking people were working hard to decorate their homes. Even if it was just a temporary tent, they wanted to make it perfect.
Li Guangcen stood on the hillside, looking at the valley without saying a word. Mu En walked behind him, remained silent for a while, and whispered: "Your Majesty."
Li Guangcen didn't even look back, he just said "Huh".
Mu En couldn't hold back his anger and summoned up the courage to say again: "Your Majesty, that Xiaoye Ke'er is the young clan leader of the Yeli clan. The Yeli clan is the most determined to rebel against Li Guangrui. The seven tribes invited the Lord to return, among which the Yeli clan
They are also the most enthusiastic clan. Now that we are here, why not contact them. As long as the seven party members take the Lord as their co-leader, and then pull out the thousands of elite soldiers we trained on the grassland, it might not be impossible.
Battle with Li Guangrui. As for Xiazhou... as long as they know the identity of the Lord, some tribes must be shaken and willing to join the Lord."
This was the first time that this iron-clad man spoke so many words, and his words were well-organized, completely inconsistent with his rough and cold appearance.
Li Guangcen took off the wine bag from his waist, took a big sip, and said with a smile: "Mu En, you have a lot of skills, and staying with me, a rotten and useless old man, is really a waste of you. Your world should be here.
On the prairie, if you are ambitious, you can take them away with you, and the tribe on the prairie can be yours, and maybe... you can make a name for yourself."
Mu En's face changed drastically, he knelt straight down, put his hands on the ground, and said in a panic: "My lord, Mu En is loyal to you wholeheartedly, and I don't dare to have any dissent. My lord said this, Mu En will die for nothing, and I don't dare to obey you.
"
Li Guangcen turned around and looked to the northwest, his eyes becoming moist: "I am old, I am old, but I have come here. It is probably God's mercy that allowed me, an old man who has been wandering all his life, to finally return home. This is where I was born.
The place is not far away, I...just stay here forever..."
As he said that, he took another sip of wine and walked forward staggeringly. Mu En knelt there, staring blankly at his back, motionless. His body was like a rock, bathed in the golden sunshine...
It was getting dark, and Mu En and those burly men were sitting on the endless grassland outside Li Guangcen's tent. A bonfire was burning brightly, and the ashes of the vegetation were dancing over with little bits of light, hovering around them.
Mu En said in a deep voice: "I have finished what I want to say. Now, let's see what everyone thinks. I personally am willing to serve the Lord, regardless of whether the Lord has the intention to regain Xiazhou and regain the foundation. This is from me.
Since my father's generation, the tribe has given my family the responsibility of protecting the young master. However, we also have to think about our tribe. They have been wandering on the grassland for too long. Should we just keep wandering like this until we forget?
My own roots?”
Everyone was silent for a long time, and one of the men slowly raised his head and said slowly: "Brother, the Lord is hesitant, why don't we prompt the Lord to make up his mind? Let's let Xiao Ye Keer go and tell him the identity of the Lord.
, the seven party members will come to greet him after hearing the news. By then, the Lord’s identity will be exposed, and he can’t even think about it.”
Another person immediately retorted in a deep voice: "What you are doing is treasonous and is threatening the Lord!"
The man said cheerfully: "Yes, but I do this because my lord is no longer ambitious, and because our tribal relatives are still wandering on the grasslands in a foreign land. I just want my lord to regain his ambition and become a leader on the grassland again."
Eagle."
More than a dozen big men spoke to each other, some in favor and some against. Mu En was so distracted by what he heard that he didn't realize that the Lord had quietly left the tent and was standing alone in a tree not far away.
Listen to them talk.
The big man who had previously proposed to force the lord to obey the order stood up and said sternly: "Brothers, please stop arguing. I can do this. When the lord blames me, I will apologize. As long as the lord can regain his ambition, I will not do anything."
What's the regret in dying?" He said and walked away.
Li Guangcen, who was behind the big tree, moved his feet, but then stood still as if he was nailed. He raised his hand, froze for a moment, but still dropped it weakly. A bitter smile slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth: He could stop them,
As long as he shows the authority of the Lord, these tough men will obey him unconditionally, but...ask yourself, does he really have this right? He follows him around the world for these people and for these things without any complaints.
What did the tribesmen do?
Li Guangcen leaned weakly against the big tree and took another sip of strong wine. His body was already finished. Although he still looked so strong and burly, in fact, his body was due to the hard life over the years, because he had no
Moderate drinking is already a strong person on the outside but a weak person on the inside.
His best friend, Chakaqin, the most famous wizard on the grassland, tried his best but could not help him get well, because even if he took medicine, he still had to drink continuously. No magic doctor in the world could cure him well.
A patient like him. His internal organs have been damaged by the strong alcohol he has been drinking for many years, and he has only a few days left to live. Now a dying body can allow the tribe to fight bloody battles to restore his power and glory.
?
Li Guangcen's old tears were filled with tears. He didn't want to sacrifice so many people in his twilight years. However, even if it was not for him, it was just for those who wandered on the grassland and were still waiting eagerly for their Lord to save them.
Shouldn't the tribesmen who brought them back to their homeland after a long absence take advantage of the chaos of the Seven Tribes to have a fight? However, he could no longer leap on horseback, and his subordinates did not have a commander who could be reused. Mu En was regarded as the most important among his subordinates.
He is a leader, but he can only be a hero for one side. He is no match for his cousin in Xiazhou.
What's more, what we saw today is that the seven Dangxiang tribes are extremely poor. They have no food, no medicine, and no weapons. Who can be scared by a toothless tiger? If you hand over your own people and the seven Dangxiang tribes to a brave young man,
In the hands of Mu En, the only outcome is for them to die, just in a more gorgeous way, so what difference does it make.
Just as Li Guangcen was thinking about it, the big men had quietly dispersed. Mu En walked towards the tent where Li Guangcen was, and within a moment he ran out in panic, shouting: "Lord..."
"I'm here." Li Guangcen said a few words and blocked Mu En's voice. Mu En hurriedly shut up and ran to him and said, "My lord, why are you awake?"
Li Guangcen was silent, and Mu En understood. His mountain-like body suddenly dwarfed, and he whispered: "My lord, Mu En deserves to die. I...I will stop Mu Kui right now."
"That's all," Li Guangcen said lightly, slowly walked out of the shadow of the tree, took a sip of wine, looked up at the bright moon, and said leisurely: "Go and invite Yang Hao... to me."
Mu En raised his head in astonishment: "My Lord, do you...invite Yang Hao?"
