Chapter 194: Inheriting the Patriarch's Position

Sadong went back to the house to write a letter, and the steppe men went to their own business, but Sachar stood beside him, and he didn't say a word.

Fang Ling smiled and asked, "Brother Sa, how many days does it take to get from Yinha City to Blue Wolf City?"

Sachar thought for a while before saying: "This is far away, we first have to go to Songdan City, the entrance city of the grassland, and then enter the hinterland of the grassland, and finally reach the blue wolf city. ”

This date is still in the plan, Fang Ling looked at his big man, gestured towards Lu Bei, and then took the fine iron knife handed over by Lu Bei and said, "Brother Sa, this is an extra gift for you, do you like it or not?"

Sachar shook his head, waved his big fist, and said in a humming voice: "I don't need a knife, I have a fist, and a wrestling technique, Fang Gongzi, you can rest assured, with my Sachar here, I promise to let you go and come back safely." ”

Seeing Sachar's confident appearance, Fang Ling couldn't help laughing, and didn't force the knife to him, as for this wrestling technique, he had also seen it, although it was different from the southern martial arts, but the power exerted by such a big man was not a small peep.

In this way, there is less to protect the guide along the way, and it is more enjoyable. Fastest update on PC:/

It didn't take long for Sadong to write the letter and hand it to Sachar, and Lu Bei and others also unloaded the carriage and rode out of the city one by one.

Although the group seemed to have only brought a small number of necessary items, in fact, Fang Ling had already thrown a lot of important materials into the inch, but no one knew about it, and Lu Bei, who was born as a palace guard, also had the ability to find food in a treacherous environment, and by his words and deeds, Hao Tieniu and the others naturally learned this hand, so even if they were in the grassland land that they had never had, they had nothing to worry about.

Out of Yinha City, it is gradually far away from the northern mountains and valleys, and as far as the eye can see, there is a snowy grassland scenery, and the green grassland extends as if there is no boundary, and the breeze comes slowly, and the fragrance of green grass.

There are hardly any roads here, and you can ride your horse at will, and it is very difficult to discern the direction. However, with Satsar leading the way, the people did not have to worry about getting lost, and rode all the way, and when it was almost sunset, they saw a caravan in front of them.

There were more than a dozen people in the whole caravan, each leading a horse, and the horses carried a large amount of goods, and slowly marched through the steppe.

Hearing the voice behind him, the people in the caravan all turned their heads, and the black-faced merchant in the lead obviously knew Sachar, and greeted loudly: "Isn't this Sachar, where are you in a hurry?"

Noticing the gaze of the black-faced businessman, Sachar patted his chest proudly and said, "Uncle asked me to send Fang Gongzi and them to the north to do business. ”

The black-faced merchant suddenly realized, seeing that Fang Ling's figures were not tall, and there were charming women with them, he smiled at a few people and said: "You are quite bold, this grassland is not as southern as you, not to mention anything else, you can see big beasts and wolves on the road." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "With Brother Sa as a bodyguard, even if there are a bunch of beasts, I am not afraid." ”

The black-faced merchant laughed, pointed at Sachar with a smile and said, "This is true, Sachar, this kid, has divine power since he was a child, his peers wrestle with him, and five or six can't beat him." After speaking, Fang Ling and the others also got closer, and seeing Fang Ling's handsome appearance, the black-faced merchant couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then his eyes fell on the horses' bags again, and said, "My name is Chamuha, I don't know what kind of business Fang Gongzi does?"

"Horses, spirits. Fang Ling said with a smile, for the nomadic grassland people, cattle, sheep and horses are undoubtedly the most important things, describing people's wealth, it is not to say that there are 10,000 acres of fertile land, but 100 cattle and sheep, 100 good horses, so the horse dealers here are very respected, as for the spirits, it is also the favorite thing of the bold grassland people, and every household is indispensable.

Chamuha suddenly smiled and said: "Little brother, you still have some business acumen, I don't touch this horse, but I am a little interested in this wine, what kind of liquor is the little brother selling?"

Fang Ling beckoned to Lu Bei, and Lu Bei stepped over on horseback, took a leather pot from the bag he was carrying, and threw it to Chamuha.

Chamuha opened it and took a sip, and immediately raised his finger and praised: "It's so spicy, this taste is rare." ”

"This is our local wine, the ingredients, recipes and processes are different from other places, and this is only freshly made, and if it is a deep wine from last year, the flavor is even stronger. Fang Ling talked eloquently, in the northern border land, there have always been merchants and grassland people to trade, plus the northerners are good wine, so the process of making wine is also a long history, after the poor soil of the fief is improved, not only planted a large number of mulberry trees for silk, but also planted a large number of corn sorghum and the like, for winemaking, and the process of winemaking is also after several figures, so it has fired a very high-quality spirits burning knife.

Chamuha couldn't help but take another sip, and said in amazement: "With such fine wine, why worry about not having a buyer? I don't know which tribe in the north is going to do business in the north, little brother?"

"Blue Wolf City. Fang Ling didn't hide it from him and replied.

Chamuha couldn't help but be taken aback, and kindly reminded: "Little brother, it's not a good time to go to Blue Wolf City now." ”

"Why is that?" Fang Ling asked, pretending to be puzzled.

Seeing that he looked ignorant, Chamuha explained: "You southerners may not know, the patriarch of our five tribes is seriously ill, and the two heirs of the clan are fighting openly and secretly, there are a lot of things to do right and wrong, and the entire Blue Wolf City heard that it has become a mess of porridge, where do you go in the south, but it is very inappropriate." ”

"Oh, is there such a mess?" Fang Ling said deliberately unbelievingly, although a lot of information was passed on through the merchants on the border, but some specific things were still more clear to the merchants who walked the hinterland of the grassland, so since Cha Muha took the initiative to talk about it, Fang Ling naturally would not let go of the opportunity to inquire.

Chamuha drank a few sips of strong wine, and was also on the rise, so he straightened his tone and patiently explained: "Our five tribes of the steppe are the Bayan tribe, the Chahan tribe, the Wushen tribe, the Sauron tribe and the Turan tribe, each of which has its own territory, and is headed by the Turan tribe, and the patriarch of the Turan tribe, Turan Turan, is also the leader of the five tribes, and is respected as the great patriarch. The patriarch is now seriously ill in bed, and the heirs of the clan are cousins, and the two of them have their own support, and they are in trouble. ”

Song Ying'er couldn't help but mutter, "How can the heir be cousins, shouldn't it be the sons of the great patriarch?"

Fang Ling naturally knew more about the customs of the grassland than Song Ying'er, and replied in a low voice: "The inheritance of the patriarch of the grassland tribe is different from that of our southern country, it is not a family, but the entire tribe, in fact, the adults of all tribes are qualified to inherit the position of the patriarch, of course, it also requires a certain strength." ”

Chamuha continued: "Now the heirs of the Great Patriarch are one of the sons of the Great Patriarch, Turan Motuo, and the other is the son of the elder brother of the Great Patriarch, Turansai Khan, both of whom are known for their fierceness and courage in the Turan clan, and not only have their own supporters, but the other four clans are also involved. Among them, the Bayan tribe and the Chahan tribe are supporting Turanmotuo, and the Wushen tribe and the Sauron tribe are supporting Turansai Khan. ”

Fang Ling understood this, and secretly felt that the situation was serious, this was not just a dispute between one clan, even the four major clans also had their own support, and the more seriously ill the great patriarch, the more he had to rush to Blue Wolf City before he died.

However, he had some doubts in his heart, and asked: "I heard that the Great Patriarch is only in his fifties, what kind of disease does he have that is so serious?"

Chamuha shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but it is said that even the Shaman Witch King is helpless due to his illness, otherwise how can he let the situation get out of control?"

Fang Ling asked again: "What does Brother Yicha mean, which of the two cousins do you think is more suitable to inherit the position of patriarch?"

Cha Muha smiled and said: "I am a member of the Chahan clan, of course I support Young Master Mo Tuo, this is not my one-sided words, if you have lived on the grassland, then you will hear a lot of rumors about Young Master Mo Tuo." Young Master Mo Tuo was born with divine power since he was a child, he was able to lift the big chariot wheel with one hand at the age of three or four, and when he was a teenager, he had defeated the first strong man in the clan, and he was also cultivating the strongest martial arts in the clan, and his attainments were amazing, not only high martial arts, but also very kind, respecting the elders, and treating the Magi with courtesy, this sentiment is rare in the clan. ”

Fang Ling nodded, and asked again, "What about Turansai Khan?"

Cha Muha shook his head and said: "This person also has a divine power, and he is not inferior to Young Master Mo Tuo in terms of bravery, but he is just a high-flying master, domineering and notorious." ”

Although what Chamuha said was only one-sided, and it did not affect Fang Ling's judgment on who to support, Fang Ling still captured some information that could be used between the lines.

For thousands of years, the countries in the south of the earth have been at war with the grassland tribes, so although the border trade has never been interrupted, the hostility of the grassland higher-ups to the southerners is still very strong. Starting

Now that the eldest patriarch is critically ill, and the two heirs are fighting for the law, if they don't find the side that should be supported, they may lift a stone and hit their own feet. Starting
