Wherever the young man walked, the surrounding vendors all saluted him.

Xiao Qing squinted her eyes, and followed behind the young man not far away, her ears were full of noisy human voices, and her fluent and fast Tatar language made her listen very hard, and it could be seen from the attitude of the surrounding herdsmen towards this young man that this person's identity and status were definitely not simple.

She followed, and suddenly saw the person in front of her turn his head to look in her direction, and she hurriedly turned her head and took an iron pot in her hand.

"Yishu, what's wrong?" Bai Lang asked when he suddenly stopped and looked back.

Chu Shaoyuan's eyes swept over the crowd, and he always felt that someone seemed to be staring at him all the time, and the people who came and went in the bazaar couldn't see who was who at all, he shook his head, raised his feet and walked forward, and said softly: "It's okay, the Duta Wuti Department is very lively." ”

Bai Lang smiled: "The market is only available every month, you came here not long ago, and you didn't catch up with our market in Alchibe, that is the real crowd of people......"

Chu Shaoyuan listened patiently to him before asking, "When will you go back to Alechibu?"

"What are you doing in a hurry to go back?" Bai Lang's voice was indifferent, "What? Are you worried about your two retinues? They have the best food and accommodation in my tribe, what do you have to worry about?"

Having said that, Chu Shaoyuan had been with Bai Lang in the Duta Wuti Department for two or three days, and seeing that Bai Lang had no intention of going back at all, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "The two of them are not well injured, and I always have to see them with my own eyes to be able to feel at ease." ”

"You're not a doctor, what can you do even if you look at it?" Bai Lang's voice was not light, "This time, I originally planned to stay in the Duta Wuti Department for more than ten days, and I can only go back when the matter is almost discussed, so you can wait patiently." ”

The two began to talk about something else, Xiao Qing put down the pot in his hand, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

She had planned to follow again, but a group of men dressed as soldiers passed by, separating her from the two.

The group of soldiers knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully to the young man, and one of the leading soldiers said: "King Timur Khan, our King Khan invites you to the big tent to discuss!"

Bai Lang raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

"Big deal!" the leading soldier whispered a few words into Bai Lang's ear.

Bai Lang's face changed instantly, he glanced back at the soldier, and when he saw the soldier nodding heavily, he immediately turned around and walked back, even forgetting to greet Chu Shaoyuan beside him.

Xiao Qing saw the young man walking back in a hurry, and hurriedly avoided it, and when he looked at Chu Shaoyuan again, he found that there were two more guards beside him, who seemed to be protecting him, but in fact, Xiao Qing knew in his heart that these two people were spying on Chu Shaoyuan.

Xiao Qing followed Chu Shaoyuan from a distance, watching Chu Shaoyuan return to the tribe from the bazaar, until she could no longer step forward to follow her, and then stopped.

At this time, the sun is sinking, and in the twilight, the people in the market have also changed to the things they need for the month, and they are full of loads.

Xiao Qing watched the market gradually disperse, most of the people carried their things back to their tents, she led the horse and two attendants to ask for some dried meat and dried milk at the herdsmen's house near the tribe, shared food with the two attendants, and squatted in the wild forest outside the tribe.

The sky is getting darker and darker, until the stars in the sky come out and light up the hazy night, the canopy is like a large tablecloth, so black that it seems to be able to suck people in, and the sporadic twinkling stars from the beginning of the three or two, and finally gradually fill the whole night sky, look up, the moon tonight is a half-quarter moon, low as if hanging on the willow tops.

"I'll sneak in in a while to see the situation, if I can, I'll bring people out and gather here, if I haven't come out until the ugly time, you two will hurry back to the northwest and tell my eldest brother about the situation here, if there are other accidents on the road, go directly to my house to sue my father," Xiao Qing paused, thinking that if something happened to the eldest brother, it would be difficult to guarantee that her father would not have an accident, she said softly: "If there is an accident in my family......

She took out a yarn flower from her arms and put it in the hands of the attendant, "Take this, if there is anything wrong with my family, you can go to the Xia Mansion and find it, the second miss of the Xia family, she will know when she sees this." ”

The two attendants said in unison: "How can you let the young lady take such a risk!"

"Qin Feng, Zhao Yong, among the three of us, only I understand the Tatar language, no matter who goes to the two of you, I am not as sure that I can get out of the way, besides, I am a woman, which can make people lower their vigilance, unlike you two men, and you are a raw face, if it is good, what if it is not smooth?

After Xiao Qing finished speaking, he stuffed the gauze flower in his hand into Qin Feng's hand, and deftly rushed towards the tribe.

……

There was a butter lamp in the tent, and the dim light covered everything in the tent with a layer of warmth.

The slender and white fingers carried a white piece and landed on the chessboard, and listened to the person opposite: "Yishu, you are too ruthless!"

Chu Shaoyuan said lightly: "It's because your mind is not on this game of chess, otherwise you won't be occupied by my small piece of chess." ”

The pair of slender and white fingers gently pinched the dead chess pieces one by one and put them into the black clay pot opposite.

Bai Lang simply pushed the chessboard: "I lost!"

"You still have half of the country, and you don't like you Tatars to win or lose so early, don't you want to fight hard? Chu Shaoyuan looked at him lightly.

Bai Lang waved his hand: "You said, my mind is not on this game of chess, even if I go further, I can only push myself into a corner, I don't dare to think about turning things around, I just hope to be able to get through the current predicament and thank God." ”

"What's wrong?" Chu Shaoyuan raised his eyes and looked at him.

Bai Lang straightened his robe and stood up, the dim light stretched his figure very long, different from the outfit in Dayan, he tied his hair in thin braids, a hairband made of cow tendon was tied behind his head, and he was wearing a leather armor that looked a little old, and he was wearing a traditional Tatar animal skin robe, which made his whole person look more burly.

"I told you before on the road, right?" Bai Lang looked sideways at Chu Shaoyuan, "Spring ploughing is coming in the past few days, the land owned by our Tatar tribe is very barren, and the agricultural things that can grow are nothing more than some barley and oats, the harvest is not good, but the lack of grain in the tribe will be there every year, but this year is different from previous years." ”

He raised his head to look at the oil lamp, and heard the whining sound of the wind blowing through the tent like a sharp blade out of the sheath, and his tone was even lower: "My ninth uncle's tribe is now even more ruthless in running out of food, and he actually hit the idea on our tribes, he previously brought a message to King Shinamkhan Khan and King Totel Khan, saying that since several tribes are short of food, he advocates going to Dayan to take it, and also said to several Khan kings that in a tribe, either support his soldiers and horses, or support his cattle and sheep......"

Chu Shaoyuan paused with his hand holding the chess piece, and said lightly: "Can't you refuse?"

Bai Lang sighed lowly: "I want to refuse, I want to refuse, do you know, the tiger and leopard cavalry is only two hundred miles away from the Duta Wuti Department now, it is easy for him to attack! How do you want me to refuse?"

The young man's eyebrows and eyes under the light became deeper and deeper, and his forehead was wrinkled and tight, which made people worry about it.

Chu Shaoyuan was a little puzzled: "Isn't he now stationed in Yanmen Pass, fighting with our soldiers of Dayan? How can there be extra troops to ......?"

Bai Lang shook his head, "How could a cunning person like my Ninth Uncle put all his troops outside the Yanmen Pass?" I don't know what news you heard, but as far as I know, my ninth uncle will never have more than 30,000 men and horses outside Yanmen Pass now, and he originally had 50,000 horses, plus he has recruited troops and horses for so long, and he can get together about 70,000 horses, but none of our tribes has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he has been recuperating for a long time over the years, unlike the ninth uncle who often fights, if he really fights, he doesn't even have a fifty percent chance of winning. ”

"You tribes can unite ......"

"It's useless," Bai Lang's voice was low, "Uncle Nine has the support of King Nine Khan and King Ayantor Khan, the sum of the men and horses of the two of them, plus the men and horses of Uncle Nine, far exceed us by tens of thousands, and his tiger and leopard ride stopped two hundred miles away, just a warning, urging us to make a choice!"

Chu Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, quietly looked at Bai Lang, who was dyed with gloomy color, and said after a long time: "Since this is the case, then you should give up some things outside your body......"

"It's easy for you to say, the cattle, sheep and livestock are all left by Daddy to the tribe, give them to the Nine Kings and let him recruit troops and horses, and then ...... us"

Bai Lang suddenly stopped, and heard a voice outside: "King Timur Khan, our King Khan invites you to come over, King Urutbar Khan is here." ”

His face changed dramatically, and he strode out of the tent.

Chu Shaoyuan slowly put away the chess pieces scattered on the chessboard, one by one, the white and black chess pieces were pinched in his hand, cold as jade, just a very ordinary chess piece, Da Yan could buy it in a random pen and ink shop, but it reminded him of something he hadn't thought of for a long time.

Suddenly there was a small sound in his ears, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the curtain lifted, and in came a maid with a tea tray, her face still veiled.

The attendant who followed the maid said to him in Yan dialect, who was not fluent: "It is the goat's milk that the master ordered to give the son a good diet." ”

Chu Shaoyuan nodded, and saw that after the maid put down the tea tray, he was about to walk out with the attendant, when suddenly the attendant fell to the ground without warning.

The maid grabbed him and said anxiously: "Chu Shaoyuan, you come with me!"
