They had already left the territory of the Han Dynasty and came to the territory of Xiqiang.

More than 200 people, after driving the mountain road for two hours, Fu Lin and the others saw a lofty mountain in front of them, which was really overlapping! Fu Lin had some emotion, this kind of scenery is too beautiful, because Fu Lin no longer has this kind of scenery and environment in the environment of the previous life.

Everyone didn't have Fu Lin's order, they were all hurrying slowly, and in a short time, everyone saw a road up the mountain, and the rest of the places were almost the same, not to mention the steep cliffs, at least there were no roads in other places.

And this road leads directly to the mountain, but there is a gate on the mountainside, a bit like a mountain gate, and the path to the mountain gate is very steep, there are several ropes on both sides of this path, needless to say that this is for the people who go up the mountain, carry the ropes up the mountain, so that it can be safer.

Seeing this, Fu Lin couldn't help but think of the Huashan Road in his previous life, and the sentence, a road in Huashan since ancient times. And Fu Lin also likes this beautiful environment, Fu Lin of Huashan in the previous life has really been there, but the path of Huashan is not as steep as here.

When Fu Lin was thinking nonsense, he heard Jia Xu say: "Master Horse, getting here is the only way to enter Xiqiang." Xiqiang has been suppressed by the Han people several times, and they don't trust the Han people very much now, so they need to worship the mountain, if the horse lord believes me, let me go first, and after talking to them, let the Qiang people have a buffer, and then the horse master will go up the mountain again, it will be much safer, but I don't know if the horse master let me go? ”

Of course, Fu Lin knew what Jia Xu meant, and Jia Xu was afraid that Fu Lin wouldn't believe him, but who Fu Lin was, he had already known what Jia Xu meant, and besides, Jia Xu's family was in his own hands, and Fu Lin was also a master who was not suspicious.

Therefore, Fu Lin didn't think much about it and said: "Okay, just bother Mr., Zhou Cang, you lead ten relatives to Mr. Tong, you must protect Mr. Hao's safety." ”

"No!" Zhou Cang responded.

Jia Xu agreed when he saw Fu Lin so happily, and also asked Zhou Cang to protect himself, Jia Xu was naturally grateful to Fu Lin, his senses for Fu Lin changed a lot all of a sudden, and after a while Jia Xu said: "There is no need for personal guards, it is not good to have too many people." Just let Captain Zhou accompany me into the mountains. ”

"Okay, just Mr." Fu Lin said.

In this way, Jia Xu and Zhou Cang climbed up the mountain, and the rest of the people, under Fu Lin's orders, all dismounted to rest, Fu Lin naturally did not relax his vigilance, what patrol scouts and the like, Fu Lin still sent a lot of them.

Just when Fu Lin was waiting for Jia Xu minute by minute, Jia Xu and Zhou Cang had already knocked on the gate of the mountain, and at such a distance, Fu Lin naturally couldn't hear what they were saying.

It's just that there is not much time, Jia Xu and Zhou Cang, the two of them, entered the mountain gate, and the gate slammed shut again, Fu Lin and the others waited patiently while eating and drinking, let's not talk about it for the time being.

Let's say that after Jia Xu took Zhou Cang into the mountain gate, he was not surprised because Jia Xu was not here for the first time. But Zhou Cang is the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair, after Zhou Cang entered the mountain gate, he saw that the beautiful scenery here was very attractive, of course, this kind of word was added by the author, Zhou Cang naturally did not have Fu Lin poetic.

Zhou Cang saw that this was a mountain forest, covering an area that could not be seen at a glance, and guarding the mountain gate were some alien soldiers and horses dressed in strange costumes.

Look at the number of more than 200 people, at this time a centurion came over, in fact, this person is the old man in the centurion, he led 200 people to guard the mountain gate at the junction of Xiqiang and Han, because the soldiers and horses of various ethnic minorities in the Eastern Han Dynasty at this time, their military system is not as perfect as the Han Dynasty, so the low-level officers in the army are not as complete as the Han Dynasty.

"Who are you? What are you doing in Xiqiang? It's not clear how to behead them all. The little leader said. In fact, he said the Western Qiang dialect, there were many languages in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chinese was the official language of the Han Dynasty, and Chinese was also divided into many local dialects, and then there were Xiongnu languages, Xianbei languages, and this Qiang language, etc. Of course, we have to express this in Chinese, otherwise who can understand the words.

Zhou Cang saw that they were about to eat people, and even the weapons were raised, Zhou Cang still couldn't understand their language, he was naturally nervous.

Jia Xu naturally saw Zhou Cang's state, so Jia Xu first said to Zhou Cang: "Captain Zhou, don't be nervous, Xiqiang people eat soft and not hard." Admire the hero and look down on the softie. Don't talk to me. ”

"I'm the old Qiang king, a friend of Qianghu, do you see this?" As he spoke, Jia Xu took out a piece of bone with some strange patterns and symbols on it. Jia Xu spoke the Qiang language, which made Zhou Cang very impressed, and naturally the objects of Zhou Cang's admiration also included Fu Lin.

In fact, the Qiang people do not have surnames, and it is necessary to say that the surnames of the Qiang people have only existed since the Sui and Tang dynasties. Now the custom of the Xiqiang people is that if a person does something or has any characteristics, he will be named after this thing or characteristic, and it is a one-word name.

For example, the old Qiang king of Xian Lingqiang could kill bears and tigers when he was young, so everyone called him Tiger, or Ah Hu, and outsiders and clansmen called the old Qiang King of Xian Lingqiang as Qiang Tiger.

"Oh, sir, it turned out to be a friend of our Qiang King, then please come in!" The centurion guarding the mountain gate, after reading a piece of Jia Xu's bone, said politely.

"Please bring the warriors and send us to your Qiang king's camp." Jia Xu said.

"Yes, sir, please. Take some men and send this friend to the tent of our king of Qiang. The centurion said.

In fact, this Xiqiang is composed of many Qiang tribes, of which there are forty or fifty tribes, thirty small tribes are more powerful, and ten more powerful large tribes, among which the most powerful tribes in Xiqiang are Xianling Qiang and Yaodangqiang.

And the customs of the Qiang people are similar to the Xiongnu, so many tribes want to be strong to elect a leader, this leader is called the Qiang King, of course, there is a burning Qiang here, their patriarch is also called the Qiang King, but they are called privately, not recognized by the Qiang people, here we will talk about things slowly in the future.

As long as there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be wars, since it is such a big Xiqiang, there are hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of warriors. When they choose the king of Qiang, there will naturally be war.

Of course, this Qiang king is actually elected from the patriarch of the first Lingqiang and the patriarch of the burning Qiang, and there are a few stronger Qiang people who are candidates to run for elders, although the elders are not as powerful as the Qiang king, but sometimes if the elders are united, it can also restrain the Qiang king.

The last time the king of Qiang was elected, that is, when the Han Dynasty made the Yellow Turban Uprising, the king of Qiang, who burned Qiang, almost succeeded in running for the king of Qiang with the ghost tricks of a Han man, but it happened that Jia Xu arrived at the Qiang tribe by mistake, and Jia Xu started to protect himself, so he helped the current Qiang King Tiger and won the throne of the king of Qiang. So if you really want to talk about it, Jia Xu is not only a distinguished guest of Xian Lingqiang, but also a benefactor of King Lao Qiang.

"Come with me, two." A small leader led dozens of warriors and led Jia Xu and Zhou Cang to walk inside.

The mountain road is tortuous and bumpy, and the mountains are undulating.
