Chapter 863: Huan Chenyu on the Way Home (II)
"And what do you think I'm for?" he asked with a slight smile.
"Well, I guess, the guest officer is a dart master, right?"
The reason for this guess is that there is no other reason, this shopkeeper felt a strong aura in Huan Chenyu's body, which was very similar to some masters he had seen in the past, whether it was looking at Huan Chenyu's physique or hand muscles, as well as the brisk steps when he entered the tavern just now, it could be seen that his skills were quite powerful. And the one who had to run back and forth between the west and the east for a long time, except for the pot-bellied merchants, should be the dart master, although he looked very ugly and poor, but he should be disguised to deceive people, he had seen some disguised people, and it seemed like two people.
"Oh, that's great, just say it. "The reflexes and thinking power of cultivators are far beyond those of ordinary mortals, so the moment the shopkeeper finished speaking, Huan Chenyu had already thought about how to answer. In his opinion, if he thinks about it from the perspective of the shopkeeper, he may also deduce that he is a dart master, which is the closest result to the answer, how can these mortals know what cultivators and the like, it can be seen that this shopkeeper's knowledge is quite extensive, so he will act as this dart master.
"I saw a lot of masters like the guest officer in the Central Plains, and even after I came back to open the shop, I saw some in the caravans passing by, so I can still judge one or two. ”
"Awesome...... So, the owner, you're really well-informed. Huan Chenyu gave him a thumbs up, making him feel a little embarrassed.
I saw him touch the back of his head, and excused himself: "Don't laugh at the little brother as a guest officer, it's really not good to be well-informed, but the things you know are higher than ordinary people." ”
"Then I really want to ask the shopkeeper for something, after all, I just came back, but I heard a farmer nearby say that Mobei has been fighting recently, I don't know if it's true?"
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and then asked, "When did you go west, guest officer?"
"About half a year ago. Huan Chenyu pretended to think for a moment, and then replied.
Of course, it was impossible for him to directly ask Ye Tingcheng about their party, so he lured the shopkeeper to start with the time when Wang Zhongsi waved his army to the north, and jumped forward for a few months, no matter how he thought about it, Wang Zhongsi hadn't set out half a year ago, and he couldn't arouse any suspicion from the shopkeeper.
"Then you have missed a lot of things, take what you asked, the Tang Emperor Li Longji was not very satisfied with the new Usumishh Khan of the Later Turkic Khanate, so he gathered 200,000 cavalry elites from various towns, with Wang Zhongsi as the commander, and went north out of Yanmen, approaching Han'er Bali, which caused great pressure on many tribes in Mobei. ”
"What about the casualties? Who won?"
"Casualties? Before the fight started, even if the Usumish Khan had great courage, in the face of such an elite army of 200,000 troops, how could he dare to start a war easily? However, I have recently heard a passing Hui merchant talk about such a thing, it is said that the representative of the Tang Army and Li Longji's envoy are visiting the three major tribes in Mobei, namely the Hui, Qarlu, and Ba Ximi, and it is the three tribes who conspired to kill the Ashina Bone Khan, and it can be seen that they have ulterior motives. ”
"In my opinion, the post-Turkic khanate itself is not good, and when I was serving as a guard for the merchants in the west, they were all contemptuous when I mentioned the post-Turks, and they looked down on them at all. Not to mention the time when Ashina was stubborn, even if the generations of khans were pushed forward, it is an indisputable fact that the current post-Turkic khanate is already very weak, and it will no longer be able to regain the strength of the Turks in the past. If the Usumish Khan could no longer understand what it meant to be a man who knew the times, sooner or later he would end up with Ashina, either by being slaughtered by the three tribes and dividing up his territory, or by the Tang Dynasty and becoming the protectorate of one party. ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper sighed helplessly, although he is also a Turkic, but only because he has Turkic blood, he has nothing to do with the current post-Turkic khanate, and he is only lamenting the decline of the Turks.
Anyone can see that this has nothing to do with who is the Khan, but that the Turks are really not good, and sooner or later they will be replaced by other tribes, and one of the three tribes of Mobei will be able to dominate Mobei sooner or later. Then the attitude of the Tang Dynasty is very important, they want to know the attitude of the three departments, and the three departments also need the support of the Tang Dynasty, if they understand the reason, they will surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the case of the envoys of the Tang Emperor, and get the support of the Tang Dynasty, which will be of great benefit to their hegemony.
This is a truth that even he, the owner of a tavern, understands, and it is impossible for Usumish Khan not to know, but he still maintains a tough attitude towards Datang, which is simply self-defeating.
"Alas, whatever, no matter whether the Turks perished or not, I still open my tavern, what do they have to do with us little people?"
Even if the sky falls, it has nothing to do with you, although you are close to the Silk Road, but it is very comfortable, the villagers live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no foreign forces to disturb them, and they can live a peaceful and stable life. But I'm different, I'm going to have to go to Mobei next, so I have to figure out the current situation, I don't know if the shopkeeper knows which tribes Li Longji's envoys have been to now?"
"Hey, the guest officer is really asking the right person, you may not know, among the guests sleeping upstairs, there are businessmen who come back to Hui, I have heard them say, the Tang Dynasty mission and their leader Guli Feiluo are so powerful, they have solved the two big people in the clan who are eyeing the leader, and calmed down the civil strife in the Huiya tent, and then they quickly reached a consensus and went to the direction of Jinshan. This news was more than ten days ago, and if it were now, it is estimated that the Qarlu Ministry has already been dealt with by them. ”
Oh, according to this time, I'm afraid he is really on the way to Ba Simi, which is almost consistent with Huan Chenyu's own inference, it should not be wrong, he came to this tavern only to confirm the news.
In fact, this is actually just one of the ways for Huan Chenyu to pass the time if he doesn't want to go back too early, if he wants to know the news, it's a big deal to fly back directly, and then synchronize the memory from his own avatar, why bother? But he suddenly wanted to verify his judgment at the moment before, and pass the time by the way, so he landed in the mortal world all of a sudden, but what he didn't expect was that it would take half a day, but since the next one came down, he could only continue.
