Chapter 65: Kinship

After seven days of wind and snow, Yue Jinsheng finally took more than 2,000 elite horsemen and Qiong'er, and embarked on the road to conquer Loulan.

Yue Jinsheng has always been raised in the Moon Dynasty as a proton, and every year is the birthday of the Great Khan, so he can go back to the north and stay with his mother for a while. After that, he was going back to the Yue Dynasty to sell his leave, and reported to Emperor Yuewen that he had returned, and honestly stayed in the Yue Guo Mansion as a hostage.

Therefore, his life experience is as little as that of Qiong'er, except for that accident to Tianliu Mountain, he only knows the mountain wall road in the north.

How ridiculous!

Beibi actually sent a third prince who didn't even know the road and didn't have any experience in leading troops, and set out to conquer Loulan with the two thousand elite horsemen of the Great Khan!

Khurhan kept sending spies, from front to back, from side to side, in all directions, to check his position, and to make sure that the direction was correct. But there is more chaos in his heart than Yue Jinsheng, how can this battle be fought?

He really wanted to win the autumn hunt, at least not at the bottom, so that the Great Khan could give them some good tribes to go hunting, so as to accumulate the tribe's winter supplies.

But Loulan!

He didn't want Loulan!

What's more, following this third prince who has no experience at all, it is all luck not to die in the desert, do you still expect to loot anything valuable?

However, the elite horsemen under his hands were elated, and they were willing to accept the difficult conditions, because the third prince said that when they got there, they tried to rob people as much as possible, and it was important for the men to settle down!

As for food and goods?

Huerhan couldn't help but start rolling his eyes again, but he said embarrassedly, "My cousin has already promised to lend me a year's food and money, these are not a problem!" ”

At this point, even Khurhan began to admire this powerless prince, who could really fool him! I was stunned that such a miserable winter expedition, the two thousand elite horsemen who said were eager to try. Who wouldn't want to marry a daughter-in-law? Even the ugly pig-like female slaves in the north can make them treasures, not to mention the beauties over there in Loulan!

Alas, he also wanted to believe the prince's casual promise, but the little prince seemed to be really going to live in the tribe for the winter, maybe he was really prepared!

The wind and snow didn't stop, but it was a lot smaller, and the road was still very difficult!

Yue Jinsheng did not rush Huerhan, and seemed to trust his various arrangements, leaving him to decide whether to continue or rest on the spot.

Stop and walk for more than ten days, but in the middle I met several small tribes herding sheep and cattle in the cold winter!

Those small tribes seem to be very accustomed to passing by the northern cavalry here every year, and take the initiative to provide cattle and sheep for them to make food, the water source is simple and directly take the snow on the ground, boil it and put it into a water bladder, and even pull out their own women to accompany the fine horsemen to be happy. Delicious food, good drink, good hospitality, and then politely sent away so many of their mouths.

Every time Qiong'er left, looking at the relieved expressions of those tribesmen, her heart was uncomfortable. Everywhere these elite horsemen from the north go, they will do the same. Eat and drink

The most hateful of these people are full, and even other women's women can be caught and eaten. These tribes are all family-like existence, and the men together are only two hundred, where is the opponent of two thousand well-equipped cavalry? Looking at them, they look like slaves who have been oppressed for a long time, and they don't even dare to have the consciousness of resistance, right?

It's just that she pity those women, and she once saw a few elite horsemen take a girl into the tent, and heard the whimpering and wailing from inside, and her hand touched the dagger in her arms several times, but unfortunately she could only stand and listen like this. Even the girl's parents and brothers, and hundreds of tribes did not stand up for her, what could she do?

In a tribe before, she really couldn't stand the condemnation of conscience, and she had already drawn her dagger and walked to the edge of the tent, but was stopped by the old man of the tribe. They sent her back to Yue Jinsheng's tent, hoping that the third prince would take good care of his slave girl and not break their peace.

After those people left, Yue Jinsheng reached out for the first time and stroked her vest. He knew that she wanted to save the girl who was being bullied, so he didn't stop her! But she didn't know that the girl's people had already chosen to sacrifice her. They need stability and peace to continue this surname tribe, and if she makes a move, it will arouse the wrath of the elite riders, and this tribe will be left with only chickens and dogs left in the blink of an eye!

"Why didn't they resist!" Qiong'er's heart was astringent, and for the first time, she roared in Yue Jinsheng's arms.

What is the point of rebellion?

In this bitter cold northland, it is the real meaning to survive, even if it is difficult to live and there is no dignity in life! Didn't even he himself come here to plunder without being able to resist? How can the two of them, without power, fight against two thousand elite horsemen?

Qiong'er cried in Yue Jinsheng's arms for a long time, and that was the first time she showed her love in front of this person. In the past, in the tribe, she used to mourn the fate of her slave girls, but what she saw and heard along the way, she suddenly mourned for all the women!

I thought that as long as you have a man who protects you, you will be safe, so the female slaves will choose the strongest person to rely on in the fine horse. But how many of the girl's parents, brothers, and even lovers and relatives were in this clan, but they did not come forward to protect her, and let her cry and wail and toss and turn under one person after another!

In this world, they can't rely only on themselves, nor on their relatives and lovers, what can they rely on?

Qiong'er was tired of crying, and slept in the arms of Yue Jinsheng, the person she hated the most, the only person she could rely on for a moment.

Yue Jinsheng was holding this girl in the dark, and kept patting her lightly with his hand. He knew that since the experience of the previous tribes, Qiong'er had not slept well, waking up in fear every night.

I guess I'm afraid that the same experience will happen to me, right?

sighed in my heart, being a woman is already more difficult than a man's fate, if you can't become stronger, this will happen in the future! He raised his hand in the dark night, feeling depressed that his ability was limited, and now it was rare to be able to save the dome!

When she stopped in a tribe again, Dome seemed to have changed her attitude towards the spirit horseman, and her disgust and alienation were no longer hidden. Hulhan's occasional probing gaze made Qiong'er as defensive as a hedgehog exploding thorns, as if he was ready to take out a dagger and fight it out at any time.

Qiong'er was worried that the women of this tribe would be humiliated by the men of the elite horses like the other tribes! Or just pull all the cattle and sheep to make supplies!

As a result, no!

Although the elite horsemen did not respect these nomadic tribes, they definitely did not mean to despise humiliation. It was as if these people were originally tribes of the north, and they only took their food, and did not move the rest.

However, after the clan rested for three days, Qiong'er realized the reason why they were so scruples at the moment of departure. There were more than a dozen old men in the tribe who followed them on the road, and that was their guide to Loulan.

They were guided by these old people to the southwest for five days, and came to a yellow clay city, and the leading old Sang Mang said to Yue Jinsheng, "Third Prince, this is Bishui City!" ”

Blue Water City?

Loulan Border Pass, the legendary magnificent, gold and silver paved city?

"This is the largest supply place before entering the desert, and the merchants of Loulan, Yuechao, and Beibi will exchange supplies here, and then bring them back and scatter them all over the world."

So they want to take this earthen city first?
