Chapter 3 The Change of the Pastoral Tribes

Life in the world, life is like a flowing cloud, everything is like a mirror, once the power of the crown of the frontier will be destroyed, perhaps few people will remember this matter.

Because it is rare to have peace in this world, since you are born peaceful, then you can enjoy peace.

It's just that in the blink of an eye, those people and things are no longer there, and when I look back, eighteen years have passed, but finally one day after eighteen years, the world is finally chaotic.

In the southwest of Luoguo, thousands of miles away, there are no towering trees or mountains, but the earth is connected to the sky.

That is the thousands of miles of wasteland, there are herdsmen on it, since the king of Luo called the world this thousands of miles of wasteland has not been completely conquered, the herdsmen are nomadic and born, and most do not build cities in groups, so even if there is a strong desire to conquer the country of Luo, it is just that.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that among the herdsmen who coexisted with freedom and barbarism, a person suddenly appeared, a person who provoked disputes in the world, and the world called Tuoba.

The appearance of Tuoba let the world know that the people in this wasteland not only have the ability to be nomadic and free for generations, but they are also greedy, ambitious, and even more powerful!

Not long ago, the Shepherd Iron Cavalry suddenly appeared on the southwestern border of the country of Luo, which had been calm for decades, like a miracle from heaven, and launched a war against the country of Los without warning.

Everything came very quickly, and even the soldiers and civilians of Luoguo, who were accustomed to the peaceful life, had not yet reacted to the fact that the herdsmen had already broken the city thirteen, and under the burning, killing and looting, the army of Luoguo defending the frontier collapsed, and the disaster spread to the world for a while, shocking the royal capital!

But when everyone was frightened by this matter, the civil and military forces on the palace of the royal capital had gathered to worship, some people were in a hurry, some people were silent, and suddenly a sound of footsteps came, and everyone soon stood silent and did not dare to speak.

The footsteps from far and near, but everyone's faces gradually showed a look of doubt, the king entered the palace with his own eunuchs, but the sound seemed to come a little fast, and came hurriedly and randomly, when the people came to the center of the hall, the ministers looked up but were surprised.

Because he did not come to the king, but a eunuch.

Before anyone could speak, a veteran of Luoguo, dressed in iron armor and an old dragon bell, suddenly stepped forward and said to the eunuch with a somewhat gloomy expression: "What about the king?"

"The king has an order, today's court meeting will be canceled, if you adults have a discussion, you will enter the court another day!"

The eunuch's voice was clear and sharp, and when the words fell, the court was in an uproar, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were talking about each other, some were filled with righteous indignation, and some lowered their heads and pondered.

On the other side, the side hall of the Imperial Palace was covered with countless curtains, which almost blocked all the places that could be seen in the field of vision, and there were runes winding on them, and from time to time there were some subtle incantations.

Although I can't hear it exactly, with those curtains, it makes the entire imperial palace give people a strange and unpredictable feeling.

But it didn't last long, only a sudden explosion was heard, and then there was a burst of scorching smell.

At this time, in the center of the entire imperial palace, an old man sat cross-legged on the ground, wearing a yellow robe, and holding a whisk in his hand and motionless.

After a while, I saw the old man's eyes slowly open, but he quickly frowned again, because at this time, a tall Dan furnace in front of him was falling to the ground, and the smell of burning was also coming from it.

"It's still a little bit close..."

As the words fell, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the palace again, and soon someone came behind the yellow-robed old man who was sitting cross-legged.

"Master, the king has summoned!"

When the yellow-robed old man heard this, he just looked deeply at the Dan furnace that was lying on the ground and shook his head, then slowly stood up from the ground, and turned away helplessly.

"Ambition always drives people crazy. ”

Not long after, after a curtain in the depths of the imperial palace, a calm voice suddenly sounded, and before that curtain fell, the old man in yellow robe also fell into a short period of contemplation, only to see his eyes narrowed slightly but did not continue,

Maybe there are not many guys who can still be calm in front of the supreme figure of the Daoluo Kingdom, and it is obvious that this old man in the yellow robe is one of them.

"How much longer?"

"Maybe a day, maybe a year...... Or maybe a hundred years. ”

The yellow-robed old man spoke calmly, though he knew that the one in front of him didn't like to hear that kind of answer, because he couldn't wait.

"Why!"

"It's still a little bit of medicine"

"What's missing?"

"I don't know. ”

There was a brief silence in the hall.

"You know, I can't wait. ”

"The astrologer has already looked at the stars, and although there is no one in the world who can glimpse the variables of the past and the future, I have a hunch that maybe that day will not be too far away......"

The words fell, and the figure behind the curtain finally slowly opened his eyes, but at this moment, a different light flashed in his deep eyes.

......

Because it is close to the border of the herdsmen in the southwest, not only the southwest state but also the people in the south of Xinjiang were also panicked when the war broke out, but fortunately, the southern Xinjiang has been guarded by a large army stationed in Xinjiang for generations, and the impact of the disaster of the herdsmen on the ordinary people of the south is not as loud as in other places in the southwest.

It's just that the ambition and courage of the herdsmen cannot be underestimated, and it also makes the situation in the entire southern Xinjiang not optimistic.

In a southern frontier with green mountains and clear waters, a meandering river flows down from the high mountains in the distance, and the vast land flowing downstream is flat and has a wide field of vision.

There is such a beautiful place, naturally there are also people born by the mountains and rivers, so a small county town has been formed here, there is a special southern Xinjiang army stationed, and people who gather in all directions come here to gather into the city, and this place is called Qi County.

On this day, a large number of people gathered in Qixian County, most of them were dressed in coarse cloth, and occasionally one or two people in Chinese costumes appeared on the periphery of the crowd, but soon showed a look of disdain on their faces, and then flew away.

In the midst of the crowd, there was a soldier in armor standing upright with Tie Ge in his hand, and behind him was a wall, and a sign was posted on the wall.

It was a conscription notice issued by the defenders of southern Xinjiang.

Soon in the crowd, three seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers squeezed out of it, except for one of the three guys who was slightly fat, and the others were all two thin.

Seeing them panting one by one, it seemed that it took a lot of effort, and looking at their whole bodies, they were dressed up and down, wearing rag clothes, and the patches on them were so many that they seemed to be deliberately embroidered on the clothes, but when they looked left and right, they always felt a little incongruous.

Besides, the three of them stepped on the shoddy straw sandals made by ordinary people, and the three guys didn't forget to turn around and squeeze their eyebrows after squeezing out of the crowd, no matter how they looked at it, they had a feeling of ruffianism.

"Huh?"

When the three of them squeezed out of the crowd, the fat man suddenly remembered something, looked up at the other two and let out a soft sound, and then he looked back at the crowd behind him, but when he turned around, he looked at the two people in front of him in a daze again.

"Where's the skinny monkey and the puppy?" said the fat man;

"Huh?"

The two of them, whom he called Skinny Monkey and Little Dog, looked at each other for a moment but both shook their heads, but soon the little one, who was called a little dog by the fat man, scratched his head and seemed to remember something.

"Oh...... Today, the boss is dressed in fancy clothes, and if he wants to get the three of us to Qi County, he wants to ......"

It's just that he hasn't finished speaking, and the other two all look like they suddenly realize.

"So what do we do?"

At this time, the thin monkey was holding his stomach with both hands, showing a somewhat tormented look on his face, and looked up at Da Fat.

I saw that the big fat frowned, and finally gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a decision.

"Let's go!"

As the words fell, the big fat looked up at the end of the street, and seemed to be nodding at the air, and then he took a big stride towards the front....

Although this Qi County is far away, in any part of the world, there are always some people, either in business or in the name of the official, they have changed their environment or status, so they have become very different from ordinary people. Above this Qi County, there is the Xu family, the dignitaries are in Qi County, and the family relationship can be traced back to the border city, so the Xu family is definitely a big family in this Qi County, even the county commander is very polite to the Xu clan chief.

It is rumored that the Xu family has a daughter, who is not out of the cabinet at seventeen, but she was born very sweet, and she is also famous in Qi County, but there are not many people who can really see the rumored ladies, and most of them are hearsay.

And no one has ever been to the Xu family to propose marriage, which makes many people puzzled.

The Xu clan mansion is located in the east of Qi County, and it is also where many other big clan mansions are located, even the mansion of the county magistrate is also here, but although it seems that it is more prosperous than other places in Qi County, it is even more deserted, because ordinary people rarely come here.

On the street in the east of the city, it is not strange that there are often three or two servants or county officials, but no one notices that on the entrance of the east street of the city, a pair of washed white cloth shoes suddenly stepped on the bluestone floor of the east street of the city.
