It was in the middle of the corner, and there was still some time before noon. On the other side of the Liujing River, there were two people dragging their tired bodies and slowly walking towards the gate of Shanhaiguan, Xiang Omor stepped on the jagged stones in the river, and crossed the river first, followed closely by Luo Gu Dan Er, the smooth stone surface almost made him fall, but fortunately, Xiang Û Mur caught him.

The river is not wide, the river is not fast, the river flows slowly, and the floating ice floes on it reflect the dazzling light under the light of the sky. After crossing the river, it is the territory of Haoguo, and the stone tablet on the riverside symbolizes this.

"Thank you!" Luo Gu Dan Err thanked softly, and then retracted his head back into his collar. The wind was very strong, and it made people feel a lot of pain.

Xiang Omor did not speak, but nodded slightly. In the morning, the wind was not so strong, but in the first few moments, it suddenly became stronger, whistling and blowing, waving the fluff on the grassland, flying all over the sky, and a fantastic scene appeared.

From Heshuo Department to Shanhaiguan, it is only a hundred miles of road, but the road is not smooth along the way, and the two of them are also walking, so it takes a long time.

The two stepped on the path where few weeds grew, and walked towards Shanhaiguan one after the other, with soft soles under their feet. This road was originally a path for children on the grassland to enter and exit Shanhaiguan, and the perennial walking made it impossible for the vegetation to grow, and the more people walked, this road became a road. However, in recent months, Haoguo's trade with the grassland has stopped due to the grassland changes caused by Anamzar, and the weeds on the road have also taken advantage of this time to climb up desperately.

"Attention to the grassland people in front, this is the territory of Haoguo, please indicate the identity of the person who came!" The Shanhaiguan soldiers on the city wall stared at them and shouted in a clear voice. This is the official language, the official language newly released by the emperor. The soldier coughed, then shouted, "Please identify the person who came, otherwise, we will take coercive measures." ”

The people of Haoguo have no good impression of the people on the grassland, and usually either call them Warat people or steppe barbarians. At this time, to be called a steppe person is to give respect. According to the words of His Majesty the Emperor, Haoguo is generous and does not care.

They didn't speak, but continued to walk forward. The wind was so strong that even if they spoke, they might not be able to hear the people in the gate. I saw Xiang Omur slowly take out a parchment roll from his bosom and raise it high. This is the letter that Pundakle handed to him that night and asked him to send it to Emperor Hao.

The whirring wind kept blowing, making it a little difficult for him to grasp, and he stretched out a hand again and held it tightly. At this time, he was completely exposed to the strong wind, and the fierce grassland wind blew the thick beard on his body, and his originally withered yellow cheeks were instantly blown red. The fluff blown by the wind rushed towards him, making him subconsciously close his eyes, and the strength in his hand was also a little less, and the parchment roll in his hand was loosened.

Another gust of wind blew, and Xiang Omor couldn't grasp the parchment roll in his hand, and was about to get rid of it, when Luo Gu Danor, who followed him, stretched out a hand and grabbed the parchment roll that was almost gone with the wind.

The sheepskin rolls shook in the wind, and in the skylight, the soldiers on the city wall of Shanhaiguan could clearly see the sheepskin rolls in the hands of the two people. The parchment roll is not precious, but it is a sign that Haoguo stipulates that the grassland people enter the Shanhaiguan. Those who can have this object, if not caravans, but people with heads and faces in various tribes.

In this case, it must not be a caravan, it was obviously given by the patriarch of a certain tribe.

Of course, they have hatred for the people of the steppe, but they will still be prejudiced against the caravan and the patriarchs of various tribes for the time being. The former can drive the economy of Haoguo, as well as improve the food at the border gates, and the beef and mutton on the grassland are very delicious. As for the latter, as long as they don't stir up trouble, they will always be Haoguo's guests. It's the current situation, I don't know who the person is or what tribe it is.

"General." When the soldier saw Zhang Neike coming, he bowed his head and hugged his fist.

Zhang Neike nodded and did not speak. But the soldier behind him said: "Qian Baihu, the general is now the chief soldier." ”

"Commander-in-Chief." Qian Baihu said busily, and gave up his hand to Zhang Neike again. The latter just waved his hand, held on to the stack, and squinted down at the two people who were approaching.

The wind was so strong that it made their armor hunt rattle. Zhang Necker didn't know the identity of the people who came, but looking at the parchment rolls in their hands, they should be a little famous. Was it a fleeing caravan, or a war letter from Anamzar? He would rather be the people of Anamzar than the caravan.

The changes on the grassland have been happening for several months, and I believe that the Jingshi side has already known about it, but it has not said anything for a long time, just let Shanhai close the pass, stop trading with the grassland caravers, and wait and see what happens. This order made him very uncomfortable, and this decision from the top always made him feel that Hao Guo was instigated. But if you think about it carefully, everything that Anamzar did was very subtle, and it didn't touch the interests of Haoguo at all, and it wasn't even close to the border of Haoguo, which made them really have no reason to send troops.

In the final analysis, this is a family affair of the grassland people, as long as Anamuzar does not touch the interests of Haoguo, they, outsiders, cannot interfere. Even if Anamzar's wolf ambitions are known to everyone, there is no reason for them.

That's why Zhang Neike hopes that what appears now is the war letter of Anamzar, so that he will have the opportunity to send troops. After so many idle days, he really has itchy hands.

The two of them were still walking forward, and the sheepskin roll in their hands was firmly grasped, and they stopped in front of the city gate in the sight of everyone on the city wall.

The wind hunted loudly, only to see standing in front of the city gate Luogu Dan Er'er head out of the thick Hu clothes, revealing a young and vicissitudes of life, the fierce wind made him subconsciously want to retract his head, gritted his teeth, he took back the sheepskin roll in the hands of the two, raised his head, and shouted loudly to the Shanhaiguan soldiers on the city wall: "Heshuo Special Khan, Luogu Danor, ask to see Emperor Haoguotian Khan!" ”

Tian Khan is the honorific title of the emperor of Hao by the tribes close to Hao on the grassland. He Shuote is close to Haoguo, but the young and vigorous Luo Gu Dan Erer doesn't like it, especially when he is called the strongest son of the younger generation by the people around him, he is even more endlessly arrogant. He didn't want to be called the emperor of Haoguo like that, but the long journey of more than ten days made him have to face the reality. In today's world, except for Haoguo, no one helps him avenge. He is the Khan of the Hoshote tribe, and he wants to avenge the murder of the Hoshote tribesmen by Anamzar.

This is what sustains him to live.

The people on the walls looked at each other. The man below is the Khan of the Hoshute tribe, the patriarch. But it doesn't seem that he wants to, how can a kid of such an age be the patriarch of a clan, but there is no one in the Heshute Department. Although the queen mother's birthday banquet is approaching, the posture of these two people does not look like a birthday celebration, and it is not too late to come to this day, there are still more than ten days to go to Beijing to celebrate the birthday at this time, and it is estimated that you can only see the scene of the end of the birthday banquet.

What they don't know is that there is indeed no one in the Heshuo Special Department, and the closure makes them not aware of everything that happens on the grassland, except for the spies of the procuratorate, but the characters at that level are not accessible to them, unless it is time for the war to start, there will be officials from the procuratorate to come to help.

No one spoke to the soldiers of Haoguo on the city wall, and Zhang Neke also stood high, looking down at the two people below.

Seeing that the soldiers of Haoguo did not respond, Luo Gu Dan Er'er frowned, and the strong wind of hunting made him want to retract into his Hu Fu several times, but he held back. But these Haoguo people in front of him treated him like this, which really made him unhappy. He was tempted to turn away.

Xiang Omur beside him knew what he thought, stretched out his hand to hold the latter, raised his head, and said loudly: "The warrior of the Heshuo Special Division, Xiang Omur, ask to see Emperor Haoguotian Khan." ”

The officials of Shanhaiguan have always known only about the khans of various tribes, and how can they know who is in their tribes. Luogu Danorr was temporarily awarded the title of Khan, and they naturally did not know. Xiang Omur is just a warrior in the Heshute tribe, and they naturally don't know it.

"Mr. Zhang, what should we do?" The one who spoke was a general from Shanhaiguan, surnamed Cao. General Cao was a literati and a jinshi in the third year of Tianshun. He belongs to the type of person who abandons his pen and follows Rong.

But General Cao is not just a literati, or rather, the literati in Haoguo were not just literati, gentlemen in the six arts, all proficient in the four arts, but today's literati, basically some things that tend to be inflammatory. Maybe that's why General Cao will choose to leave. Although General Cao spoke with a literati atmosphere, it was more of a heroic taste in the army.

Zhang Necker looked at the two below, squinting in thought. He didn't know if what the two people below said was true, and if Luogu Danorr was really the Khan of the Heshute Department. It doesn't matter, just two people can't afford to make waves. He straightened up and said, "Open the gates and let them in." ”

When the general soldier speaks, they naturally obey. Soon, the gate of Shanhaiguan slowly opened, and then, Cao Shen, who was dressed in military uniform, ran out with people.

The soldiers who went out of the city surrounded the two of them, and General Cao Shen walked forward slowly and looked the two up and down.

The clothes are clean, the whole body is covered with broken cloth, and the clothes on the two of them are patchworked. The boots under his feet are even more pitifully torn. It is hard to imagine that such a person is the richest tribe of the steppe - the people of the Heshute tribe. And one of them was still a khan.

With a cough, General Cao Shen gestured to take the parchment roll handed by Xiang Omur and opened it to take a look. The first sentence that caught his eye was "Emperor Haoguotian Khan personally opened", then he closed the parchment scroll, thought for a moment, waved his hand, motioned for the soldiers on both sides to retreat, and then said: "Go in." ”

The parchment scroll is divided into two layers, and the first layer is written with a signature, that is, the sentence "Emperor Haoguotian Khan personally opened". The barbarians on the grassland are arrogant, whether it was or is now, except for a few tribes close to Hao, the rest will not say such words as "Emperor Haoguo Tian Khan".
