Chapter 5: The Purple Robe (5b)

"Hmm!" Shi Huaiyi blinked his eyes, as if he understood or not. After all, his experience is limited, and what Wang Xun said is far beyond his understanding. If it was changed to the Loulan Clan, a certain elder would be like Elder Yang of the Central Plains, who casually put a large number of elite warriors in the clan to death. There must be only two endings, or the elder will be banished from the tribe and driven to the desert to fend for himself. Or, the entire Loulan tribe quickly declined because of the perverse actions of the elders, and became the prey of other neighboring tribes.

However, people like Elder Yang who put their family's interests before the interests of the entire "tribe" have emerged in the Central Plains one after another! However, the Tang Empire is still extremely strong. What is the reason for this, Shi Huaiyi can't figure it out at the moment, and he will never understand it in the future. He could only understand what was in front of him, no matter how sorry those elders of the Tang Dynasty were for Wang Xun and the others, Wang Xun and the others were still proud of being a Tang people.

This is true not only of the Flying Dragon Guards, who are highly skilled in martial arts, but also of those who are mediocre and strong. There is no need to deliberately behave at all, and between gestures, a certain high-minded mentality has been exposed. "How are we Tang people?" "How do we Datang" similar words can be heard anytime and anywhere. This kind of pride and self-confidence sometimes makes Shi Huaiyi very uncomfortable to hear, but he has to admit that the towering Tang Dynasty has engraved its mark into the bones of every clan. No matter how big the wind and sand of Tulun moraine are, it is difficult to grind it away.

For a moment, no one wanted to talk anymore, and the atmosphere around the fire became a little deserted. The old fox closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, Shi Huaiyi hugged his knees in a daze, and Wang Xun himself stared at the dancing flames with his eyes, and his soul didn't know where he had fled.

He is a Tang man. No matter how far away from his hometown, he is chopped, trampled, and burned to ashes, and he is still a proud Tang man. This strong sense of self-identity grows stronger the more it is in a group of unfamiliar tribal warriors. Especially when he heard the low and sad singing around him, the pride of being a Tang man spontaneously appeared in his bones, so that he did not dare to bend his spine slightly.

Deep down, Wang Xun couldn't explain what was going on. It stands to reason that after going through so many tribulations, while everyone hates Yang Guozhong and Ge Shuhan, they will also hate the court in Chang'an City. However, this is not the case. The brothers want revenge and justice, but they maintain the dignity of Datang at all times.

Maybe it's because of the environment. After all, the allies called them Tang people. And the captives called them Tang masters, Tang generals. Before and after, there is always a Tang character. This means that their status is very different from that of other samurai of all races. And this kind of title is completely spontaneous, and no one can interfere. Unless someone goes crazy and engraves a word on his own head, "I am not a Tang person". Otherwise, even if you die, you won't be able to change it.

"Yes, the Tang general blessed by the white werewolf!" Suddenly, another call of awe came, interrupting Wang Xun's chaotic thoughts.

Wang Xun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned around, "Is there something wrong?" Why did you have time to come to me? ”

"I, not me. It's me. It's not ......." Chu Mu Kunbu Ejin Tumati suddenly became stammering, and his mouth turned over and over to pound garlic. "Yes, it's me, no, it's not."

"If you have something to say, say it!" Wang Xun moved to the side and gave the other party a place to roast the fire. "Sit down and say, it's covered with leather cushions. It's pretty hot! ”

"Alas, alas!" Flattered, Tumati stepped forward and sat down cautiously. Raise your hands to the fire and rub them back and forth. "I, I am entrusted by them, to come and find you. He, they ......"

Nervous, he simply waved his hand back and shouted at the few people who were squatting next to another fire nearby, "Come here!" Say it yourself, and I will translate it for you. ”

"Teng-" There was an immediate chaos around the nearby fire. A few afternoons of the Mu Kun warriors who had been mixed in with Wang Xun's efforts to serve Wang Xun stood up, took a few steps forward, and fell to the ground with a "plop" sound, a string of incomprehensible notes came out of his mouth.

"They, they say, thank the merciful Tang general, for releasing them and giving them a lot of money!" The Mukun tribe Ejin Tumati secretly looked at Wang Xun's face, and his eyes were a little erratic, "They, they also said." I would like to ask the merciful master to be gracious and allow them to redeem the corpse of their own Ejin and other people who have been captured by their master. As long as the owner makes a bid, they will immediately send someone back to the clan to raise the ransom! ”

"What good did they promise you?" Without waiting for Wang Xun to speak, the old fox suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a low voice. "I remember, you were just released by General Wang!"

"I, I'm ....." Tumati lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Wang Xun's eyes, "I, we are in the Mukun tribe, and we are very close to their Sugu tribe. They, their Ejin, Boban, and a couple of Burkes were all killed today. Therefore, now, for a long time in the future, for a long time, men, women, and children in the clan will will, and will be dragged under the protection of our department. ”

"You just say it directly, you're going to take the opportunity to swallow the bones, or you'll have it!" The old fox Kang Zhongxin pursed his lips and sneered. The Loulan Department paid such a big price, but in the end, it doubled the strength of the people of Chumukun. This tone, no matter how you think about it, you are indignant.

"No, it's not, that's not what it means!" Tumati immediately sat up straight and waved his hand at the old fox, "You are old, you have always misunderstood. Tang people, Tang generals, don't believe him. I, I'm in Mukun Tumati, no, I don't mean to take advantage of the opportunity. I, I can right, swear to Immortality. We, our two divisions are just, but today, both of them were defeated under the hands of the ** general. The samurai in the clan suffered casualties, and the casualties were somewhat large. Of course, of course, it's all our own fault. No, don't dare to blame Don, General Tang. But, but, no, within three years and five years, the tribe, the tribe's strength could not be restored. Therefore, we have to rely on each other for the time being, so as not to take advantage of the opportunity for others! ”

He stammered a lot, but he explained what he meant. It turned out that in the first battle of the afternoon, the three tribes of Chumukun, Sugu and Chiya suffered heavy losses. Among them, the Red Tooth tribe is a new tribe that has just migrated from the far north, and there are no relatives in the Puchanghai area, and no one will worry about whether they will live or die in the future. However, the two tribes of Chu Mu Kun and Su Gu have to face the problem of how to deal with the prying eyes of other tribes after their strength has been greatly reduced. So, after learning that he and his own samurai were about to be released. At the Mukun Division, Ejin Tumati, he hit the idea to the head of the Gu Clan closest to the old nest of the headquarters. And the samurai who were released from the Su Bone Department had just lost their own Ejin, and at this moment they also needed a foreign reinforcement to support them behind their backs, so they dared to return to the clan to report the news. Therefore, the two sides hit it off. Tumati helped the newly freed warriors of the Sugu tribe to intercede with Wang Xun, asking the latter to allow him to redeem the body of the Sugu tribe Ejin Kenyit and the other captured people at a reasonable price. In return, after returning to their own clan, the warriors of the Bone Bone Division tried to move the entire tribe closer to the Mukun tribe and jointly deal with the other nomadic tribes who tried to take advantage of the fire.

In the Tang Dynasty, there has always been no habit of asking for a corpse. Wang Xun himself disdains to do so. After listening to Chu Mukun Tumati's explanation, he thought about it and replied with a smile: "When a person dies, it will be a hundred." and all iniquity was blotted out. Tell the warriors of the Bone Clan, and I will allow them to dig up Kenit's body and bring it back. As for the other captured warriors in their tribe, they were also at the same price as the others, each warrior was three cows, and twenty sheep. Just send it to Yanqi City for delivery! ”

"Thank you, General Datang!" Chu Mukun touched his chest with his hand and bowed down. Then he turned his head and translated Wang Xun's words to those bone warriors.

When the bone warriors heard this, they immediately covered their chests with their hands and bowed down to thank them. At the same time, he shouted loudly in Turkic, "General Datang, blessed by the White Wolf God, your kindness, the Su Bone Department will never dare to forget!" ”

Wang Xun waved his hand, signaling that the other party did not have to be polite. Then, with a smile, he suggested to Tumatiajin, "It seems that there are more than seventy captives of the Red Fang Clan, and no one cares about them until now." Their Ejin was also killed in battle, and it is estimated that the clan will not be able to redeem them for a while. I don't have time to take care of these guys, so I'll just sell them to you for a price. I'll give you a discount, two cows and ten sheep per person! How is it? ”

"Thank you, Shogun, for your grace!" Before the words fell, Tumati bowed to the ground again. "I'll send someone back to collect supplies right away, and I'll be there right away. If it's not enough, it's out of the bounty you've given me! ”

He had already seen the more than seventy baretooth captives. Although people are savage, they like to scribble on their faces. But all of them have big shoulders and round waists. Bringing it back to the clan, whether as a herdsman or assimilating into one's own clan in the future, is a surefire deal.

Immediately, Tuma took out a small knife, engraved a warrant on the sheepskin, and sent people back to his tribe overnight to collect the ransom. Before the messenger could jump on his mount, the few people who had left earlier, with a dozen or so of their kind, walked over quickly. walked up to Wang Xun and knelt down in turn.

"What else are you going to do?" This time, not only Wang Xun frowned, but Tumati himself also felt that the warriors of the Su Bone Clan were a little bit inched, so he straightened his face and scolded loudly.

The spearhead warrior of the Bone Clan took the lead and glanced at him, then suddenly began to sing loudly. While singing, he slapped his chest hard. A dozen or so other warriors of the Su Bone Clan followed, singing the same tune and beating themselves incessantly.

"They, they said......" Tumati was a little unwilling, and because Shi Huaiyi and Kang Lao Fox were watching from the side, he had to translate truthfully, "A few of them are willing to follow the hero who is blessed by the white wolf god forever." Be your slave for the rest of your life, follow you, and witness your brilliant deeds. ”

"This ——!" Wang Xun was a little stupid for a while. What his future holds, he still doesn't know for sure. How dare you accept these alien warriors who can't even speak Tang Yan? Just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, the old fox Kang Zhongxin smiled and preemptively said, "Take them." Otherwise, they won't be able to live anymore. It is a custom in the steppe to follow the strong. Even if you are a cow or a horse, there is no shame. If you refuse, it's tantamount to saying that they don't have any value in existence. Wherever they go in the future, they will be looked down upon. ”

"Okay!" Wang Xun had no choice but to nod and agree. "But what about the remains of your clan? Who's going to report back? ”

"They can just leave two people behind and report the news." The Mukunbu Ejin Tumati made his own assertion and responded on behalf of the Sugu people. Then quickly translated Wang Xun's words.

Before the words fell, the dozen or so warriors of the Su Bone Department had already cheered loudly, and stepped forward on their knees one after another to kiss Wang Xun's boots. Wang Xun couldn't dodge, so he had to accept the respect of the warriors of the Bone Department at the signal of Tumati. Subsequently, according to the guidance of the old fox, he ordered someone to find a scimitar and handed it over to the warriors of the Bone Clan one by one.

After getting the weapon, the warrior of the Bone Bone Division immediately got up from the ground happily and automatically stood in a row behind Wang Xun. Raise your eyes and look around.

"Now you have your own part!" The old fox Kang Zhongxin smiled and nodded slightly, "Well, it's just that the number of people is a little smaller." Little Stone, in a moment you will order twenty capable brothers from your clan, and let them follow behind General Wang forever. You don't have to go back to your own family. ”

"This ——!" Wang Xun was stunned again, and couldn't guess what the old fox's actions contained. The Mukun tribe Aijin Tumati woke up instantly, leaned forward, and said loudly: "The Tang Dynasty general who is blessed by the White Wolf God, the people of Chumukun have received so many benefits from you, but they have not been able to think of a way to repay them. It's a shame that Patriarch Kang's actions just now reminded me. Our samurai are also willing to follow in the footsteps of heroes. I'm going to pick out twenty of the most athletic and make them your servants forever and serve you!" ”

"Ah——!h Wang Xun didn't have time to react at all, and in an instant, the number of descendants increased to more than fifty.

As he said, he got up and trotted to pick his own people. Naturally, this action cannot but attract the attention of others. Soon, Urqi and Secharo also came over, each offering twenty elite warriors of their own clan, so that they would always follow the Tang generals blessed by the white wolf god.

"The Tang generals who are blessed by the White Wolf God, the whole of the Chu Mu Kun Department admires your bravery, and all of them are willing to serve you. I have carefully selected twenty-four of them, just enough to make a hundred of your faithful servants! "Chumukun Tumati turned back with his people, and when he saw the faces of the two chiefs of the Urqi and Secharo tribes beside the fire, he immediately added additional inputs.

"The families and property of our warriors will soon be sent to Yanqi City!"

"I'll equip your servants with weapons and armor!"

is the same tribe, who reacts much slower than whom? Urqi, Sitai and Sehurobu Aijinjie were also quickly supplemented. I'm afraid Wang Xun won't see his sincerity.

If you don't complete the task assigned by the Ministry of Geshuhan, you can't count on the big tree of Geshuhan in the future. But the future of General Wang, who is blessed by the White Wolf God, may not be worse than that of Ge Shuhan! Being a man is much more generous and generous than Ge Shuhan! If you don't take advantage of the fact that he has not yet risen to climb the relationship, when will you wait?

Showing favor to him now is tantamount to paving the way for the future of the tribe. When the hero blessed by the White Wolf God laid down a sky of his own in the Western Regions, the Urqi Division, the Sehuluo Division, and the Mukun Division, did they still have to worry about having no big trees to rely on?
