Chapter 33: Preparations for War (1)
The snow-capped peaks that surrounded them surrounded them, and white smoke floated on the summit, like a drunken old man. The cold permeated every corner, and the snow was soft enough to reach the horses' hooves. They passed through a mountain pass, and the winding and rugged mountain road appeared before them, and one after another yurt houses stood between the mountains, and some even on the high slopes and summits, and the cloth feathers were completely stunned on horseback, including Snow.
"I think we'll have to have a caravan, including their clothing, and we'll have to find a few yurts, and we'll have to live separately, so as not to be too crowded. When he was about to leave the mountain pass still behind him, An Guijia said to Buyi Lingyu beside him, "Our troops will first pause in the cave sixty kilometers away, and stop advancing any further, and wait until we find out the situation of Niutel before making plans." ”
"You are right, my lord, that there is a great deal of movement of merchants here, and it is not easy for people to notice that they live here. Bu Yi Lingyu said, "When I stay, I will send people to get acquainted with all the business people here, especially the nobles, as soon as possible." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of An Guijia's mouth, "You and I want to go together, especially the nobles here, we have to deal with them well, don't show anything first, in the early stage, we only talk to them about business and make friends, but we must pay attention to the people who are very good with Niu Ter, we must pay attention to proportion, we must not make friends, but we can't make deep friends, we must distinguish whether they are nobles of Fengwei City or nobles of Shiyue." Ao, by the way, find a way to find Lord Musna, let him gather all the elders and soldiers of Fengwei City in Lan City, establish a good relationship with them first, and wait for us to prepare everything, and then tell them the news that the prince of Fengwei City is still alive. ”
"Good King. Buyi Lingyu replied.
"You and Visson will go and see if we can buy a few yurts from the vendors, the quieter the better. An Guijia explained.
"I'll do it. After Gu Qi finished speaking, he twisted the reins of the horse, and walked quickly towards the forest with Wei Sen.
The sound of music was like eardrums, and Buyi Lingyu hesitated for a while before searching for Snow, and he found that Snow was not in the team, and Snow had already dismounted and walked in front, in the direction where the music came from.
The melody of this music, Bu Yi Lingyu is the most familiar, he has heard it since he was a child, in the alleys, streets, grasslands, and in Fengwei City, every time he visits, he can hear this soothing music, which is composed by the herdsmen of Fengwei City themselves, in order to commemorate the love story of Miss Baya and Artemu in Fengwei City more than 600 years ago.
Legend has it that more than 600 years ago, in order to please the savage Da Shan Yu on the grassland, the leader of the alien race gave his sixteen-year-old Miss Baya to the sixty-year-old leader of the savage. Miss Baya couldn't accept the leader of the savages, and threatened her with death and slashed Da Danyu. The wildlings launched a large-scale war, which killed tens of thousands of aliens and reduced the ranks of the wildlings by more than half, and the leader of the wildlings gave Miss Baya to all the soldiers to relieve the hatred in his heart. Eight years later, Miss Baya escaped from the camp of the savages, paid tribute to the humiliation she had suffered for eight years with her father's head, and then plunged into a pool of water in Lake Issyk-Kul. When Artem heard the news, he also jumped into Issyk-Kul Lake, and from then on, the pool of water turned into a vast ocean.
The place where Snow walked in, a huge crowd of nearly three or four hundred people gathered, was a place where the market and trade gathered, and the people who did business and bought things looked like dense ants from a distance. Snow had already entered the crowd, and Buyi Lingyu also dismounted, ordering someone to lead the horse away and into the crowd. He searched everywhere, but could not find Snow's shadow.
More than 30 knights on horseback appeared in front of them, the bell on the horse's neck "jingle bell" ringing, they all have a long braid behind them, their foreheads are combed smooth, their hair is a little curly, their eyes are concave and deep, and their eyebrows are thick.
Wherever the knights passed, all the herdsmen fell to their knees respectfully, men, women, and children bowed their heads, their expressions full of fear. The musician also gradually stopped, put the instrument in his hand on the ground and lowered his eyebrows to see off the knight passing in front of him. Even Buyi Lingyu had to kneel, all of them were no exception, An Guijia, An Murong, Yan Jier, and Mo Da all learned to kneel on the ground, bowing their eyebrows and waiting for the knight to walk by. The knights went into the stalls and ordered them to loot and loot everything, knocking over all the things they didn't need, and the stalls of apples, oranges, grapes, and many vegetables were overturned, rolling back and forth on the ground, and the traders did not even dare to make a sound, and let them take everything they needed from the stalls.
Cloth Feather finally saw Snow in the crowd not far away, waiting for the knights to go away, he finally squeezed through one crowd after another and pulled Snow out, "Don't put yourself in a conspicuous place, you are wearing noble clothes all over your body now, get out of here with me." ”
"They're really a bunch of bandits. Snow scolded as he looked at the situation in front of him.
"Yes. Buyi Lingyu nodded, "Are they bandits, or bandits from the Clan Yue family." The people around them cast strange eyes at them, as if everything in front of them was commonplace, and it was nothing new, Buyi Lingyu didn't dare to say any more, pulled Snow and left quickly, and walked far away.
"Master, those people played so well just now, it's the first time I've heard such a beautiful tune, have you heard it?" Snow's excitement hadn't gone away, but unfortunately, the music was no longer audible.
"I've heard this song countless times since I was a child. Bu Yi Ling Yu explained.
"Really?" Snow looked at Buyi Lingyu in surprise, "Master, I've learned everything, listen well, I'll sing you a few words." As he spoke, he began to clear his throat, "If there is no love in my life, it is not as good as a day to live for a thousand years, in the face of the fire of love, it is only a little spark, tormenting me to be haggard, I hope my sweetheart is safe and ......." He recalls the first half of the lyrics he just heard, saying, "That's all I can remember." ”
"Miss your fiancée?" Cloth was sure that her suspicions were right.
"It's a matter of course to think about your fiancée. Snow nodded, "I'm not like An Murong who has a stinky face all day long, obviously I like Yinuo, I don't dare to confess or admit it, it's so tiring to watch!"
"There is no marriage contract between them, and of course they dare not confess or admit it. "But you have to thank your father and Father An Ning, who made this marriage possible." ”
