On the morning of the third day when my caravan came to the Rongge Inn, the monarch Puhou X personally led a hundred official guards to summon Grandpa and Uncle Su in a bronze chariot pulled by two yaks.

"Young lord, the kings and princes have no clothes to wear again, haha! Come here to play some autumn breeze! ”

Looking at Wangcheng's convoy from afar, Qin Chong muttered in my ear.

Looking at the clothes and ornaments of these hundred officials and guards up close, what Qin Chong said does make some sense.

Like the men and women of Rongge's father-in-law's family, they are all fur dyed from cattle and sheep, and then simply worn with leather ropes.

It's okay to keep warm and keep out the cold, but its color, comfort and appearance are far inferior to the linen clothes filled with catkins and forage for the Han people to spend the winter.

When I first saw it, it was like a group of wild people who drank blood, had not yet been civilized, and did not know human ethics.

The convoy stopped on the grassy beach, and the hundred guards lined up on the left and right, and the ceremonial officers blew the trombone of the summons.

Mr. Rong Ge hurriedly led the whole family to kneel in front of Puhou's car and offered fragrant milk tea.

Grandpa and Uncle Su also served as representatives of the caravan and bowed their heads to see each other.

The officials of the royal city had already laid out the carpet on the grass and set up the throne, and the two palace maids struggled to get the fat Puhou out of the cart.

"Yizi, Suzi! Don't come unharmed! Ha ha! Throne! ”

Pu Hou seemed to be an old acquaintance with his grandfather, and after he sat down, he waved his hand and asked the internal official to prepare two futons for his grandfather and them beside him.

After Grandpa and Uncle Su bowed down again to thank him, they sat down cross-legged beside Pu Hou.

And the first time Gulanduo came in handy, he translated for me the whole time, and I still couldn't understand a word of the king's Puli official language.

"The widow is the tenth generation of the Panyu tribe of the Huaxia clan, and the ancestor Emperor Shun! Ha ha! The two gentlemen are from the ancestral hometown of the widow, and they are very happy to meet the deceased in another country! What year is it? ”

Later, I heard Qin Chong tell them that there was no calendar in Puli country, and they didn't know the four seasons, and the first thing they said every time they met their grandfather was to ask the year name of Middle Earth.

"Back to Puhou, the twenty-first year of the Great Jin Dynasty, the first three years of the Later Qin Emperor!" Grandpa replied.

"Hou Qin? What about the widow's Qin Tongzong? "Puhou has lived on the plateau for a long time, his skin is purple and brown and his eyes are like copper bells, and he is very majestic.

"The king doesn't know that Di Qin was destroyed by the Qiang Yao Chang a few years ago, and now the king's ancestral hometown has two major marquis, namely the Qiang Qin of the Yao clan and the Northern Wei Dynasty of the Xianbei Tuoba clan!" Uncle Su said.

"Hey! Qiang Rong, Di Rong, and my Pu Rong are all brothers of the same clan, so it doesn't matter! When the two gentlemen returned from Xitu, the king would send an envoy to Chang'an, and Nagong would form a diplomatic relationship with the ministers! ”

Pu Hou took the bronze staff on behalf of the royal power given by the internal officials, which was a signal to get in the car and return to the palace.

The two palace maids just now, and a few guards hurriedly stepped forward to help Pu Hou into the car.

"King! Xiaomin prepared a small gift, and asked Puhou to smile! ”

Grandpa waved his hand, but saw that Qin Chong, Sha Mihan and others carried out a large stack of colorful silk cloth and placed it in front of the cart, with more than 100 horses.

These silk silk silks have been with us through thousands of mountains and rivers, and every time my grandfather gives it away, I am always a little reluctant in my heart.

"Haha! Yi Zi Suzi is polite! Hulunge! Collect it for me! ”

Seeing the silk, the marquis laughed with a smile with bright eyes, and waved his hand to let the lieutenant on the side send four or five guards to accept our tribute.

The reason why he was able to leave the palace in person and treat his grandfather with great courtesy may be because of these silks.

"What else do you two want, but it doesn't hurt to mention it! I am a small country and a widow, and I have no special products to entertain distinguished guests, so I hope that the two old friends will not be surprised! ”

Pu Hou was still a self-aware monarch, and he smiled at his grandfather in the carriage.

"Back to Puhou, my caravan has traveled nearly a thousand miles on the way, and now people are sleepy and tired, and you need to rest for a few days in your country before going on the road, there are many disturbances during the period, please forgive Puhou!"

Puli is a country based on herdification, and there are only a few winter pastures in the green mountains.

Now my caravan of 200 camels and horses have come to stay for a short time, and if they graze at will without the grace of Puhou, they are likely to have entanglements with the local pasture owners.

"Yi Zi is too worried! My Puli country has wide mountains and high grounds, and let Yizi's camel and horse gallop across the country! Ha ha! Back to the palace! ”

Pu Hou didn't expect his grandfather to make such a stingy request, and he didn't give a formal answer, so he laughed and led his Praetorian Guards back to the palace.

His lieutenant Hu Lunge stayed behind and handed a palm-sized copper button to Uncle Su.

"This is our Puhou's personal talisman, seeing it is like seeing the king, Puhou asked me to pass it on to the two!"

After the lieutenant finished delivering, he ignored his grandfather's thanks, turned on his horse and chased after Puhou's horse team.

Puhou is really a benevolent and righteous monarch, with his talisman, we can stay in Puli country for as long as we can!

The problem of shortness of breath and chest tightness has not yet recovered, and the guys in the whole team basically have such symptoms.

Therefore, in the past few days at the Rongge Inn, everyone's movements of speaking and turning around have been two beats slower than before.

I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention to the violent movements, my heart and liver will beat out of my chest.

In that case, even if Hua Tuo Divine Doctor is alive, he will not be able to bring the dead back to life.

Uncle Su and Grandpa have been either lying on the kang and resting quietly these days, or they are slowly pulling with Uncle Rong Ge outside the stone house.

The meals for three meals a day during the day were all prepared by the daughter-in-law and daughters of the inn Rongge's father-in-law, which also saved the trouble of the guys burying the pot and cooking.

Of course, the food is also the same milk tea, beef and mutton plus yogurt, and the only condiment is rock salt.

After a few days of eating such a meal, everyone's mouth was covered with blisters, and they couldn't wait to grab a handful of hay and put it in their mouths like a camel that gnawed on grass.

The astute Gulando found a few thick apricot trees in the sparse forest by the river, because the locals were not accustomed to picking fruits and vegetables, and the climate was dry and rainless.

The apricots that were born last summer have long since turned into orange and sweet preserves, hanging on the bare branches.

This unexpected discovery made everyone very happy, except for the grazing guys, all of them went out, and picked several large preserved fruits in half a day, which were hundreds of catties.

More than a dozen preserved fruits went down to the stomach, and the herpes that was swollen and painful in the mouth disappeared naturally that night, which made people feel more surprised.

Today, it is my turn to graze with Gu Landuo, Qin Chong, Sha Mihan, and Liu Zhen'er, as well as Hesrul and Uncle Langton

After the high annexation, the seven of us are going to Rome together, so we always gather together to strengthen our bond these days.

The two uncles are still the same as before, not smiling and hardworking, and they don't want to have too much communication with our teenagers.

It turned out to be a few of us friends playing together, plus a tomboy Gurandot.

Since the newlywed, Shamihan's "nymphomaniac" disease has been cured naturally.

There has never been a woman around me, and only the two teenagers, Qin Chong and Liu Zhen'er, are still crazy about love.

But even so, in this plateau marquis, both men and women are exposed to the sun like Kunlun slaves, and they can't arouse any interest.

In the past few days, everyone would rather have nothing to sleep, and no one mentioned going to the royal city to drink and have fun, and I was happy to be idle.

On a cloudless day, the ice peaks, which are rarely seen all around, are crystal clear under the bright sun, mysterious and lonely and magical.

Perhaps because spring has arrived in the south, the original gray-yellow mountains and highlands have also revealed patches of green color.

This originally monotonous and boring small country in the Western Regions suddenly became vivid in the eyes of everyone.

"Young master, do you guess what kind of tribute this Marquis Pu will send to Chang'an with his envoys?"

One day while washing by the river, Qin Chong smiled and asked a question that was difficult for me to answer.

"What tribute? It can't be a yak goat, right? Bronze is abundant here, or is it some kind of bronze ware? I guessed.

"Young master, you didn't even guess! Ha ha! Liu Zhen'er laughed.

"Young master, let me give you a reminder, Puhou sent his sister to Chang'an five years ago, and later it is said that she became the favorite concubine of the eldest son of King Fu Jian!" Shamihan gave me a little bit of information.

"Pu Hou's sister! Hahaha! Is it even more beautiful than our Princess Gulando? ”

Thinking of Puhou's appearance, I laughed in surprise.

"Brother! Am I that ugly? ”

The little girl who was brushing her hair beside me straightened up angrily, yelled at me, showed a rare shyness, and turned to Hesrul and them.

Grundot knew that we guys were going to start talking nonsense again.

"Young master, don't say it, since she got off the Green Ridge, this princess Puli has become more and more beautiful day by day, and when our caravan arrives in Chang'an, she has become a stunning beauty in the world!" Qin Chong said mysteriously.

"And such strange things?" I will be skeptical.

"What Qin Chong said is true, we all saw it with our own eyes back then. The envoys of Puli followed us through Shule, Wusun, Qiuzi, Yumen, Hexi, until the kitchen gate of Chang'an, we are all together! Sha Mihan and Liu Zhen'er confirmed from the side.

It's a strange thing to say this, could it be that the women of this country are also like the iceberg in front of them, with all kinds of changes?
