Chen Mo naturally wants to understand the difference between the culture of Mengchi Doune and the Han culture, which is thousands of miles away, and what he wants to understand is not only the superficial diplomatic exchanges between the two countries, but also whether there is any merit in this culture through Batakan, after all, it has been nearly 400 years since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, and the political system and thinking have been solidified, which seems to be rigorous, but there is an invisible shackle that restricts the thinking of today's scholars, and it has lost a little bit of the open-mindedness of the sages when they founded the doctrine. Began to reject foreign cultures.

This is not a good phenomenon in Chen Mo's opinion, so he wants to know more, Batakan is a rare entry point, although Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions let people know that there is a wider land outside the Western Regions, but no one seems to feel the importance of those foreign cultures, or rather, everyone is rejecting these things.

Chen Mo wants to absorb more foreign cultures into his own doctrine, so Batakan is very important to Chen Mo, but if Chen Mo is put in danger because of this, it is impossible.

"Hey, Lao Zhu, will that Dugu tribe reject us because of our Han identity?" Dian Wei pulled Lao Zhu and almost pulled him off his horse.

"What? Scared? Zheng Tu looked at Dian Wei and smiled a little teasingly.

"I'm afraid?" Dian Wei smiled disdainfully when he heard this, and patted the bag wrapped in sheepskin hanging on the horse's back, where his two iron halberds were wrapped: "If you really want to do it, it is not yet known who will lose and who will win!" ”

Although there are not many people brought by Chen Mo this time, they are all elite people who have followed Chen Mo for several years, and they are personally selected by Gao Shun for training, which can be said to be the elite of the elite, as long as the terrain is suitable, it is definitely not an exaggeration for these people to be ten.

"Brother Dian, don't worry, this Xianbei person doesn't dare to provoke my Han people in normal times." Lao Zhu said with a smile, although the Han has not been able to eliminate the grassland forces, but since the Han Wu, although the evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been more depreciative than positive over the years, but in terms of foreign races, the Han has always occupied an overwhelming advantage, after the decline of the Xiongnu, although it is still fighting year after year, but whether it is the Xiongnu or Xianbei, they no longer have the courage to launch a large-scale campaign against the Han, at most take advantage of the autumn hunt to go south to grab some food and then run immediately, and the Han will be pulled over as a thug when needed. Now they have to rely on them as vendors in exchange for some necessities, and most of the time, as long as they don't deliberately provoke them, they won't have nothing to do.

Of course, it is not enough to grovel, the people on the grassland are fierce, not provoking you does not mean that they are afraid of you, if you dare to run to other tribes to make trouble, these people will never get used to you.

"Brother Zhu, there are more and more people on this road today, and the woman of the Dugu tribe is very beautiful?" Chen Mo looked around and met a lot of people, some single-handedly, some in groups, it seemed to be a tribe, Chen Mo could hardly imagine that a woman could have such great charm.

"I've never seen this before." Lao Zhu shook his head and said: "But I heard that the Tuoba neighbors of the Tuoba tribe have also come this time, and the Tuoba tribe seems to be interested in moving inward in recent years. ”

Tuoba neighbor?

Chen Mo thought for a while and nodded: "This person is the son of Tuoba Yu, the patriarch of the Tuoba clan, and I heard that he is brave and good at fighting. ”

"You know again?" Lao Zhu looked at Chen Mo in some surprise, how did he feel that Chen Mo seemed to know everything.

"I know a little bit about it, after all, I want to come to Xianbei to do business, and it's right to know more." Chen Mo laughed and said, before he came, Guan Yuyunzhong and even the situation of Kuitou Shan Yu had understood everything he could, and if he didn't fight a battle that he was not sure of, even if this trip was not a battle, Chen Mo would definitely be fully prepared.

"Brother Xian is too cautious." Lao Zhu shook his head and smiled: "Like this kind of businessman, how can I see such a person?" ”

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded, didn't say anything about it, and instead asked about this Dugu department.

"Although this Dugu Department has the blood of my Han family, after all, hundreds of years have passed, and this sentiment has long faded." Lao Zhu shook his head and said, not to mention that hundreds of years have been separated by more than ten generations, even if two or three generations do not communicate, then the affection will be dull.

"Now this Dugu Department is not much different from Xianbei and Xiongnu, you have to say how beautiful, it is common for the tribes on the grassland to be attacked, and occasionally the children of these tribal leaders are thrown out for sale, naturally they are much more beautiful than ordinary Xianbei and Xiongnu women, but if you say how beautiful, it is not so mysterious, these people are probably going to Tuoba neighbors." Lao Zhu said with a smile.

Although the children of those tribal leaders have also ridden horses and archery since childhood, they are naturally much better than ordinary women in terms of food and housing, which is similar to the Han family, and ordinary women also have to work in the fields, and it is difficult for you to see any beautiful women in the fields, after all, women are generally said to be white and beautiful, and they work in the fields every day, which basically has nothing to do with white skin.

Not to mention anything else, Chen Mo's mother has also been well-fed and clothed in the past few years, and she doesn't have to work in the field, so she gradually became a little noble, and when Chen Mo was a child, her skin was also red and cracked.

As for why Tuoba Lin came here, in Chen Mo's view, it is likely to be related to the fact that Tuoba wants to move south, this place in the clouds is rich in water and grass, and there are several rivers, this barren sweet water is one of them, nourishing this land, used for farming, the water is still poor, but it is also dry land, it can be planted by the farmer, and it is more than enough for grazing.

Chen Mo still had a smile on his face, but his words gradually decreased, and there was a solemnity in his eyes that was difficult for others to detect.

Tuoba Xianbei is a big Xianbei clan in the central part of the country, if they intend to go south, does it represent the attitude of the entire Kuitou royal court?

Yunzhong is at least nominally the land of the Han Dynasty, and it is not unacceptable to move Chen Mo internally, but as the history of the state assassin, what he can accept is that Xianbei is attached to it instead of no one ordering them to move into the territory of the Han family without permission, although there are no soldiers and horses stationed in this Yunzhong area now, and there are more and more Hu people, but at least this nominal thing, no one can move it, it belongs to himself.

"Lord, what's wrong?" Wang Biao approached Chen Mo and asked in a low voice, he watched Chen Mo grow up, and others didn't need to find Chen Mo's abnormality, but Wang Biao was keenly aware that the momentum emanating from Chen Mo was different from before.

"It's not clear yet." Chen Mo groped the mane of the war horse, looked at the road in front of him and whispered, "But Tuoba Lin appeared here, which makes me very worried. ”

The move of collecting Yanmen first seems to be right, although there is not much difference between the luck and the change of the party, but the system immortals obviously can't judge things farther, or rather, the system immortals judge their own state, but this kind of general trend of things, you still need to make your own judgment.

"But you need to ......" Wang Biao's eyes were cold, and he quietly made a throat cutting motion.

"We are not assassins, and we can't put ourselves in danger, even if we want to kill, Tuoba Lin can't die at our hands." Chen Mo still had a smile on his face: "It's better to die in the hands of the Xianbei people themselves or the Huns, Uncle Wang must remember to restrain his subordinates, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, we are here just to watch guests." ”

"Whoa!" Wang Biao nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Brother Chen, what are you talking about?" Lao Zhu slowed down his horse, walked side by side with Chen Mo again, and asked with a smile.

"Uncle Wang asked me, how does the daughter of the head of the grassland tribe compare to the daughter of my Han family's eunuch?" Chen Mo smiled.

"There's no way to compare that." Lao Zhu groped his chin and said: "This Xianbei woman has been riding a horse and shooting arrows since she was a child, although it is vulgar, but it also has a unique flavor. ”

As long as a man talks about women, there will always be endless topics to talk about, so if you want to change the topic or break the awkward situation, talking about women will never be lacking for men.

"What is this Dugu tribe doing this time to recruit relatives?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"I can't say for sure, according to their rules, there are more than anything, but most of them are more than riding and shooting, wrestling and horse kung fu." Lao Zhu said with a smile.

"Archery is not an old classic." Dian Wei said depressedly when he heard this, his whole ability was above close combat, and he only started to practice equestrianism after following Chen Mo.

"Hey, in the past, most tribes recruit relatives to actually choose warriors from the clan, although outsiders will also be invited, but like this Dugu tribe, there are not many people invited by all ethnic groups and even Han people." Lao Zhu said with a smile.

"Why don't you go to the owner, the owner's archery skills are good." Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo and said.

"I already have a wife." Chen Mo smiled when he heard this: "I just don't know if the patriarch of this Dugu tribe is willing to make his daughter a concubine for me." ”

"That depends on whether Brother Chen can hold it down." Lao Zhu said with a smile: "This Xianbei woman is fierce and ruthless!" ”

"Then this time it's really right, I want to see how fierce this Hu woman is!" Chen Mo craned his neck, and a smile appeared on his face that all men understand.

"Hahaha~ You're still young, and you don't understand something." Lao Zhu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and his smile was a little bitter.

Chen Mo glanced at Lao Zhu, shook his head, and was about to say something, but saw a group of people running towards them in the distance.

"What? Coming to trade again? Chen Mo looked at the appearance of these people, dressed more like Han people.

"It doesn't look like it, Brother Chen, in this Hu people's territory, sometimes it is more terrible to meet Han people than Hu people, they kill their own people, but they are not soft at all." Lao Zhu frowned, and was about to say something, Chen Mo's face suddenly changed, and he pulled Lao Zhu over, and almost at the same time, a sharp arrow passed through the place where Lao Zhu was staying before.

"Protect the owner!" There is no need for Chen Mo to speak, Wang Biao has already commanded the men and horses to protect the surroundings, Chen Mo's eyes flashed with anger, and he didn't talk nonsense, he directly bent the bow and took the arrow, Lao Zhu wanted to stop it, the arrow was off the string, and the person who shot the arrow in the distance saw that an arrow failed to make a contribution, and was about to shoot again, and the cold arrow cluster had pierced his neck.
