Wu Ma and Yu Wen Jianxue discussed it and decided to change the route and method of travel. They sent back the entourage and carriage, leaving only one translator who understood Turkic language and was familiar with the route. The three of them brought six horses with them.
Take the wild road all the way to the Turkic Khan's Court.
At this time, the Turkic Khanate was still on the west bank of the Orkhon River, northeast of the Hangai Mountains, about two thousand miles away from Jinyang. Since Shibi Khan did not limit the time for negotiation in his letter, it was not very urgent.
He Yuwen Jianxue deliberately controlled the itinerary, marching slowly every day, covering more than three hundred miles.
During their leisure time on the road, the two of them deliberately learned some simple Turkic grammar from the translator in preparation for emergencies. Dancing horses have always been smart, and their memory improved even more after traveling through time, and they were able to make some progress in just a few days.
become.
The translator exclaimed: "Wu Langjun, you are really a genius at learning Turkic language. I have never seen anyone learn so fast in my life. Judging from the level of Turkic language you master now, you can put aside the small things and learn the Turkic language by yourself."
There won't be any difficulties in going to the Turkic Khan's court." Wu Ma smiled and said: "You guy, don't think that I don't know, you are flattering me so that I can let you go back, so as to save you from suffering on the journey.
"The translator shook his head and said he didn't dare.
As for Yuwen Jianxue, she already has some basic knowledge of Turkic language, and she has strengthened it a little bit in the past few days. It is not difficult to carry out some simple communication in Turkic language.
The scenery along the way is wonderful.
I was traveling in the northwestern part of Shanshan earlier, which is very mountainous and beautiful. Tigers, jackals, leopards, cranes, deer, badgers, and birds can be seen from time to time in the mountains. Some strange-looking animals, such as dancing horses, are unheard of. I can’t help but think: Now is nature.
When it was extremely beautiful, hundreds of years later, the sand entered the forest and receded, and many rare animals disappeared.
It was strange that some of those ferocious beasts usually eat people, and there was also a large and colorful tiger. When he saw the dancing horse, he glanced at it from a distance and ran away like the wind.
Yuwen Jianxue asked curiously: "When did you have the ability to drive away beasts? Why isn't that black tiger in Liujiazhuang afraid of you?"
The dancing horse laughed and said, "I'm afraid Liu Boqin, the Taibao of Zhenshan, has taken possession of me."
"People say that in ancient times there was Bai Qi, the God of Killing," Yuwen Jianxue joked with a smile, "When children hear his name, they can't sleep at night. Now there is a beast king dancing on a horse, and tigers will retreat when they don't see him." The dancing horse said in his heart: "
The only thing I'm afraid of is the tigress."
The further north they go, the rarer the trees. Along the way, the three of them passed through a large desert, an oasis in the desert, a mixture of desert grasslands, a salix woodland, and a river valley with rapid streams. The scenery was different.
Different moods.
This is also the fifth time that Yuwen Jianxue and Wu Ma have been alone together. Although there is an interpreter accompanying them, in Yuwen Jianxue's eyes, besides teaching them some Turkic language, the interpreter will be very knowledgeable the rest of the time.
If you stay further away, sometimes even the person's figure disappears, and it is no different than if the person is not here.
The time was long and the scenery was wonderful. Yuwen Jianxue looked around and looked at the people beside him with his peripheral vision, but in his heart he remembered the last few times when the two were alone.
The first time was in the illusion of the Two Worlds Mountain. When they first entered the illusion, they were just friends who had just met each other. They were teammates fighting together in the Tang Tower. They were both strangers and new to each other. Before entering the illusion, she
Haven't even spoken a few words to him.
But as fate would have it, the two lived together in Liu Yousheng's house in Liujiazhuang for several years. Yuwen Jianxue once had a strange and sour taste because Liu Yanzhi wanted to marry Wu Ma.
It was also for this reason that she came up with the idea of jumping into the fire pit instead of Liu Yanzhi, so she unconsciously became the fake daughter-in-law of the dancing horse, held a wedding ceremony, paid homage to heaven and earth, entered the bridal chamber, and performed a
Ridiculous uh-huh drama.
This first time of solitude was the longest, and it also allowed Yuwen Jianxue to fully understand Wu Ma as a person. He is a man who would not hesitate to break his arm or even risk his life to save her. He is a man who no matter what he encounters
A man who will try his best to overcome difficulties and finally achieve his goals.
The second time they were alone was when Li Zhiyun arranged a plan to lure the snake out of the cave. Yuwen Jianxue sneaked into Wu Ma's house, told Wu Ma the truth, and risked everything to follow him and escape from Jinyang City, escaping the "terrible conspiracy."
The moment she stepped out of the south gate of Jinyang, Yuwen Jianxue had an idea in her mind that she might have to wander the world with dancing horses, but she didn't feel scary at all, nor did she feel that the road ahead was long and confusing.
The second time alone allowed Yuwen Jianxue to upgrade from a dancing horse teammate to a dancing horse friend, and also allowed her to further understand how difficult it is to get into the heart of this man. You must know
, just by replacing the word "team" with the word "peng", she almost risked everything.
The third time she was alone was in the illusion of the third prince's womb. She already regarded Yuwen Jianxue as a friend, and gave her the greatest trust, allowing her to fully explore her potential and almost complete the divine decree independently.
The task of clearing the customs. This will definitely be an important period of growth for her in the process of achieving revenge.
The fourth time she was alone was on the night of Feixue in June. Yuwen Jianxue, who had just had a showdown with Li Shimin, discovered for the first time that she was not opposed to walking with others in the snow, but she had never met the right person.
Just an object.
The first four times of solitude were just like the scenery we walked along the way. There were dense jungles, towering mountains, vast deserts, and quiet river valleys. Each one was different and wonderful in its own way. But what they had in common was that the scenery was beautiful. She
Enjoy it and before you know it, time will pass.
But this time, time still passed very quickly, and seven days and nights passed in the blink of an eye. She was vaguely looking forward to what kind of scenery she and Wu Ma would see and what stories they would experience this time.
The three people passed by the eastern edge of the Hangai Mountains and arrived at an endless prairie. The sky and the earth suddenly opened up, and everything they saw was filled with vibrant green. The green grass seemed like an endless blanket, covering the earth and stretching to
In the infinite distance, it is connected with the blue sky and white clouds, so the sky and the earth merge into a picture, seamlessly integrated.
This is the best scenery along the way, as if I have traveled hard all the way, and even almost been stabbed to death on the road, all just to see this grassland in front of me.
Looking at such a magnificent and beautiful scenery, both Wu Ma and Yu Wen Jianxue felt that their minds were broadened, and the aggrievedness, helplessness, and depression they had previously felt due to the hidden struggle for power in Jinyang City were wiped away.
Yuwen Jianxue has never had such a long and peaceful journey in his life. He couldn't help but think in his heart: There are so many beautiful scenery in the world. When I kill Yang Guang, I will invite the people I like to join me.
It was such a pleasure to travel all over the world, see all the famous mountains and rivers in the world, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It happened that he was also depressed, so he simply stayed away from these intrigues, intrigues, and became a free and unfettered Taoist couple with me.
When such thoughts arise, a pair of harmonious figures appear in the mind, with swords and horses riding side by side in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and infinite longing arises in my heart.
When she looked at the people around her again, she could no longer feel as at ease as before. Even if there was a gentle breeze on the grassland, the red clouds were blowing on her face, giving rise to thousands of amorous feelings. No man in the world would be able to look at this calmly.
The accompanying translator only took one look, and was so shocked that he was speechless. He looked at it secretly several times, touched the graceful figure, and lowered his head in a flash. Fortunately, this person had some self-knowledge, and he knew that this beautiful country was beautiful and fragrant.
It cannot be possessed by ordinary people. Even looking directly at it is blasphemy. I hid further in awe.
Not long after entering the grassland, we saw a large, spacious and clear river winding through the green carpet. The translator followed behind Wu Ma, lowered his head and said: "Wu Langjun, look at this river, it is Hubei."
Erkhun River, let's walk north along the river and we can reach Shibi Khan's tent."
Not long after the Orkhon River appeared, Turks gradually became visible. Most of them were herdsmen on horseback, driving flocks of sheep with whips, like white clouds floating on the grassland. Take a closer look at the faces of these Turkic men.
Most of them are wide and round, with high cheekbones. Some have mustaches and some have goatees. It is rare to see people with beards like Zhishu Tiemu.
They wore multiple robes, wide waistbands, and tall hats with no brim, and some had their hair loose. Many shepherds wore sabers around their waists, which shows that they had strong habits of hunting and martial arts.
Turkic women also mostly have high cheekbones. Regardless of their beauty or ugliness, they mostly have a heroic spirit that is rare among Han women, and their clothes are slightly brighter than those of men.
Although Wu Ma and Yu Wen Jianxue fought many battles with the Turks, all they saw at that time were Turk soldiers, all wearing war robes. Now they see the appearance of Turkic people. It's very exotic and I can't help it.
I took a few more glances.
Three Han men on horseback suddenly appeared on the vast and flat grassland. Naturally, they could not hide themselves. The Turkic herdsmen quickly became vigilant. A group of people surrounded them with knives, and they kept shouting in Turkic language.
The accompanying translator hurriedly said in Turkic: "We are from Taiyuan County in the Sui Dynasty. Tang Gong Li Yuan personally sent a special envoy. We were invited by the noble Shibi Khan to discuss peace. Please inform us."
The herdsmen, who were fierce at first, calmed down after hearing Shibi Khan's name. After a few men discussed it, they sent one man to ride to the north. Soon they attracted a group of armored cavalry.
The leading cavalry looked at the three dancing horses and shouted in Turkic language: "Are you three sent by Li Yuan to sue for peace?"
Yuwen Jianxue leaned behind Wu Ma and said softly: "This word for asking is interesting."
Wu Ma also replied in Turkic: "What are you asking for peace? It was your family, Shibi Khan, who invited me to come to the grassland for sightseeing. By the way, I will see how to return the noble special service association rate to you."
"Humph," the leading cavalryman said without any nonsense, waving his whip to the north, "Follow me."
Walking all the way to the north, the river became clearer and wider. Soon, I saw a tall white tent stretching far away, with an earthen wall surrounding it, and groups of Turkic soldiers standing guard to patrol.
Walking closer, I saw several Turks in strange clothes, wearing colorful strips of cloth, building a tall firewood pile on the ground. Further outside the firewood pile, a group of people gathered around to watch the fun.
The Turkic people pointed happily at the pile of firewood.
Among this group of Turks, there was a woman wearing a wolf-tooth felt hat, muttering something in her mouth.
The accompanying translator followed behind the dancing horse, looked at the woman and whispered: "This is the Turkic shaman, who loves to perform some weird rituals."
The dancing horse looked at the Turkic people outside who were watching the excitement. Among the crowd, there was a girl wearing a colorfully patterned robe and a flat crown with round silver accessories on her head. She had a smile on her face and was extremely beautiful.
