The Western Uighurs are adjacent to the Central Plains, and the customs and prosperity of the Western Uighurs are unimaginable in the Qing Dynasty, which is obviously not the same as the former distant land of the Lugong tribes.

It is not only the western exit of the Silk Road, but also the only way to the countries of the Western Regions.

Walking down the street, there are all kinds of goods and gadgets, and merchants from the north and south speak different languages, and the sounds of selling, shouting, and the chirping of cattle are intertwined.

Yu Qing curiously walked around the bazaar, and a team of camels and caravans passed by from time to time. Yu Qing wandered around the street for a while, entered a teahouse, and asked for a bowl of herbal tea and a steamed bun.

After more than a month of traveling, Yu Qing was already a little tired, and he was ready to rest for a day in the Uighurs in Xizhou before heading to the Central Plains.

After Yu Qing had lunch, he was about to find an inn to rest, and was walking, when suddenly there was a noise and scolding.

Yu Qing followed the prestige and saw a group of people chasing and beating a young man in rags. The young man stumbled, rolling and crawling and holding his head to avoid it.

A retainer-like man said menacingly: "Astafah, you dare to ask for the woman that Master Bam has a crush on, and he wants your woman, which is worthy of you, and you should feel honored." Now that you have come to make trouble, I think you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and the rent you owe to Lord Bam will be used as a pawn and written off. Instead of thanking Lord Bam for his grace, you have come to make trouble, have you ever thought about the consequences of that? ”

The young man named Astafa knelt down and begged, "Master Steward, be gracious!" I will definitely find a way to pay back Lord Bam's rent, and ask the lord to return Alina to me. ”

The butler kicked Astafa to the ground, raising his whip to knock him down.

When Yu Qing heard Alina, his heart was shocked, but after thinking about it, it must not be Alina, his childhood friend. But the situation of the young man in front of him is the same as the scene when he was bullied by his clansmen. This couldn't help but provoke anger in his heart. He rushed over, grabbed the butler's whip and said, "In broad daylight, you have bullied a powerless young man for so many days, is there no royal law?" ”

When the butler saw that someone had seized his whip, he could not help but be furious, and said, "Who are you?" How dare you meddle in your business! Do you know who we are? ”

Yu Qing glanced at the housekeeper coldly, and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, I don't want to know who you are, I only know that people are in the rivers and lakes, and when the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, what kind of hero are you bullying a powerless young man like this?" I don't want to embarrass you, as long as you don't embarrass this young man again, then it's okay to say anything. ”

The housekeeper sneered and said, "Haha! Don't want to embarrass us? What a big breath! You are a nobody, and you don't inquire about the power of our Bam family here, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, and if you know each other, get out of here! ”

Where would Yu Qing, who was strong in blood, eat this set, and sneered: "I'm in charge of this idle matter, I want to see what you can do!" ”

The butler was furious and shouted, "Look for death! Give it to me! ”

A group of family members brandished sticks and pounced on Yu Qing with teeth and claws.

I only heard Yu Qing's roar, his body flashed, and a huge fist shook in front of the family like a blast wind, many people didn't even understand what was going on, and the family members had already fallen to the ground one by one and rolled with their heads in their hands, and the ghosts cried wolf.

Seeing this, the housekeeper pulled out a waist knife and flew towards Yu Qing, the housekeeper also had two strokes, he was in good shape, his body was sensitive, and a scimitar was as fast as the wind.

I saw Yu Qing make a move to show the wings of the white crane, and the figure floated backwards, avoiding the attack range of the scimitar.

Seeing that the blow was missed, the housekeeper changed his technique, and swept away the thousands of troops with a move, and the blade of the waist knife changed, blocking the waist and slashing towards Yu Qing's abdomen.

Yu Qing made a 360-degree volley flip to defuse the butler's attack again, and at the moment he landed, he put his toes on the ground a little, flew up and kicked towards the butler's face.

The housekeeper was shocked, and hurriedly held the handle of the knife with his right hand, formed a palm with his left hand, protected the blade of the waist knife, and resisted Yu Qing's kick with all his might.

Yu Qing seemed to be as light as a swallow, but the kick he kicked out was like a thousand jun, and the violent impact suddenly rushed the housekeeper out of the way.

Even though the butler was agile, he was unsteady on his feet, and he fell to the ground, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

The housekeeper was shocked, knowing that he had encountered hard stubble, got up from the ground, and said fiercely: "You wait! Let's go! ”

The servants struggled to their feet, and fled with the butler in disarray.

Yu Qing helped Astafar up.

Astafa wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and bowed deeply: "Thank you for the young man's rescue, I, Astafa, have nothing to repay, I'm really ashamed." ”

Yu Qing said: "Brother is polite, the road is uneven and draws a knife to help, how can I worry about trivial things!" ”

Astapha said: "I haven't asked the young man's name, the young man's life-saving grace, I can't repay it, but I hope to burn incense and worship the Buddha every day to pray for the young man!" ”

Yu Qing smiled and said: "That's not necessary, but I don't change my name or surname, my surname is Yu, and my name is a clear character." It is also a blessing to have the honor to be associated with Brother Astafar today. ”

Astapha smiled stupidly and said: "Yu Shaoxia, Master Bam's family is powerful in this area, and his retainers have suffered losses, they will definitely not give up, and they will definitely come back to find trouble." Hurry up and leave, or they'll come back and won't be able to leave! ”

Yu Qing laughed and said: "A group of rabble, I, Yu Qing, will I still be afraid that they will not succeed?" ”

Astapha said: "Although the martial arts of the young man are world-famous, as the saying goes, the strong dragon is invincible to the ground snake, so it's better to be careful!" ”

Yu Qing said: "I can go, but what should you do?" ”

When Astafa heard this, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he let out a long sigh and said, "I'm fine, but I'm sorry for Grandma and Alina!" ”

Yu Qing hurriedly asked Asafa what was going on.

Astafa told Yu Qing what had happened. Yu Qing couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, and he was bold and said: "As the saying goes, help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, Brother Astafa don't be too sad, wait for me and you to get Alina back." ”

Astafa was very moved, and said: "With the help of the young man, the odds of winning this matter are also great, but we still have to discuss the countermeasures, in the long run, let's go to my house, one is that I have been out for a long time, I am afraid that grandma will worry, and the other is that it is good to sum up." ”

Yu Qing nodded and followed Astafar to the village.

When he walked to a hut, Astapha shouted, "Grandma, I'm back!" ”

I saw a white-haired old woman walking out tremblingly, Yu Qing looked at it, and with a "bang", tears couldn't help but fall. He stepped up with an arrow, fell to the ground with a "poof", held the grandmother's hand excitedly, and cried: "Grandma! ”

The old grandmother was a little dazzled, looked at the young man in front of her, and said a little dazed: "This is ......"

Yu Qing cried: "Grandma, it's me, I'm a wolf cub, your grandson a wolf cub!" ”

"Wolf cubs?" The old grandmother didn't believe her ears.

"Yes! I'm your grandson wolf cub, grandma! ”

Grandma looked at Yu Qing's face carefully, and said half-loudly: "It's really a wolf cub!" "How could she not recognize her grandson, who was pulling her eldest by herself? I couldn't help but cry: "Child! I thought you were dead! ”

"I'm not dead! Grandmother! I'm alive! You see, don't I live a good life? ”

Grandma said, "But? ”

Yu Qing knew that her grandmother wanted to ask herself what she could speak, so she said, "It was the master of Xuanqi Mountain who cured my illness, and I can already speak!" ”

Grandma was pleasantly surprised, and helped Yu Qingdao: "That's good!" That's good! Get up! Child! ”

Yu Qing stood up and hugged his grandmother tightly, and Astafa on the side looked confused, not knowing what was going on, and asked confusedly, "...... this?"

Grandma said, "Astafah, this is the wolf cub I told you!" ”

Astapha couldn't believe his ears, and excitedly ran up to hug Yu Qingdao: "Wolf cub! My good brother! ”

Grandma said, "Quick, go and sit in the house, don't stand stupidly!" ”

The three of them entered the house one after another, telling each other everything that had happened in the past three years.

It turned out that after the wolf cub went to Xuanqi Mountain, grandma and Alina migrated with the clansmen and settled in a place with abundant water and grass, thinking that they could live a more stable life, but they didn't expect that later the Alan country invaded, and the Alan cavalry burned and looted everywhere, which was no different from robbers. The tribe was scattered, and Grandma and Alina followed some of the fleeing tribesmen all the way to Gaochang, where Grandma was dying of hunger and fatigue, but fortunately the kind Astafa father took her in, and finally picked up an old life. Later, Astafa's father died of illness, leaving Astafa with his grandmother and Alina to live together. Although it was hard, life finally settled down, but the good times did not last long, and Lord Bam fell in love with the beautiful Alina and wanted to marry her as a concubine.

Getting along day and night, Alina and Astafa have already secretly fallen in love, of course they will not agree, Lord Bam was furious and sent someone to rob Alina. Astapha went to ask for Alina, and that's what happened today.

Yu Qing heard this, and said indignantly: "Is there any royal law here?" ”

Yu Qing also told her grandmother and Astafa what happened to her, and after she finished speaking, she said to her grandmother: "Grandma, I have a name, my name is Yu Qing!" ”

Grandma smiled and said, "Okay! Yu Qing is good, Yu Qing is good! ”

The immediate priority now is to find a way to rescue Alina. Yu Qing said: "Without further ado, we must rescue Alina tonight, so as to avoid long nights and dreams!" ”

The power of Lord Baye Gubamu is very powerful, and there are government soldiers guarding the family, even if Yu Qing has great ability, he can't act rashly, if he is alone, of course, it is like entering a no-man's land, but if he has to rescue Alina, who is powerless, it is another matter. So, he decided to sneak into Bam Mansion and act on camera.

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and Astafa took Yu Qing quietly to the outside of Bam Mansion. Bam's house is brightly lit and lively, and the word "happy" on the red lantern is even more conspicuous. It turns out that this Lord Bam is going to marry Alina tonight.

Yu Qing instructed Astafa to hide behind a mound about fifty meters away from Bam Mansion to stand guard, and sneaked to the outside of Bam Mansion alone, thinking about how to sneak into the courtyard, when he saw a burst of light not far away.

Yu Qing hid in the shadows, and when he looked closely, it turned out that two family members were patrolling. Yu Qing's inspiration flashed, and he thought about it. He quietly walked behind Jiading, flew over like a gust of wind, and the two Jiading found that there was someone behind him, and they were about to shout, Yu Qing's palm was as fast as lightning, snapping twice, and Jiading had been knocked unconscious before he could shout.

Yu Qing took off the clothes of a family member who was about the same size as himself and put them on, then tied them together, gagged them, and quietly mixed himself into the Bam Mansion in the appearance of a family member.

When I entered the house, I saw that it was full of friends, and the sound of guessing and drinking came and went. An aristocratic-looking, fat-headed, big-eared greasy man was toasting the guests.

A richly dressed goatee with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek picked up his wine glass and said, "Brother Bam is so blessed, I heard that this concubine is as beautiful as a flower, ice clear and jade, and looks like that water spirit!" Tut-tut! It's so tender that it can be wrung out of water! It's just that I don't know if Brother Bam's body can eat it! ”

Bam laughed, patted his chest and said, "Hehe, I've laughed with Doctor Luo Hun, since I ate the recipe that Brother Luo prescribed for me last time, hey!" Not to mention, it really works, it's even more powerful than the stallion on the prairie! I'm going to let that little lady know how good my Bam is today! ”

Everyone laughed and toasted.

Yu Qing walked through the front hall with his head down, and took a tray in his hand to avoid being recognized by others, unfortunately, when he first arrived at the backyard door, a drunk person shouted: "Stand...... Hold it! ”

Yu Qing looked at it and sighed in his heart, "Oh no! "This man is the butler who was taught a lesson by himself during the day today.

The steward said, "Are you, you, a newcomer?" How...... So familiar, how can I, no...... Don't know you? ”

Yu Qing didn't dare to raise his head, and the housekeeper said, "Lift ...... Get up!"

Yu Qing slowly raised his head, the housekeeper hesitated for a while, touched the back of his head with one hand and tried to recall, and pointed at Yu Qing with the other and said, "You...... You...... Oh! ”

Yu Qing's hands were quick, and when the plate went down, the housekeeper fell by the threshold as if he was stunned.

Without further ado, Yu Qing quickened his pace and walked towards the wing. I saw a big happy word pasted on the door of a side room, and this must be a new house. Yu Qing gently pushed open the door, the door creaked, he raised his legs and walked into the house, only to see a girl in a wedding dress tied to the bed, frightened, it was Alina.

Yu Qing walked in, Alina looked at him in horror and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing? Stay back! ”

Yu Qing made a silent gesture and told Alina not to speak.

Alina said, "Don't come, what are you going to do?" ”

Yu Qing saw that Alina didn't recognize herself, so she took off her hat and said, "Alina, don't make a sound, I'm here to save you, don't you know me?" ”

Alina looked at Yu Qing differently and asked, "Are you?" ”

Yu Qing lifted the yak oil lamp on the table and approached his face and said, "I'm a wolf cub!" ”

Alina's eyes widened in surprise, apparently unable to believe her ears: "Wolf cubs? How can you speak! ”

"Yes, I'm a wolf cub! I'm here to save you! It's a long story, let's get out first! ”

Alina was pleasantly surprised, and tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes.

Yu Qing quickly untied the rope that bound Alina, and took her to the backyard, ready to go out over the wall. When he passed the door where the housekeeper had fainted, the housekeeper had just woken up, and he pointed at Yu Qingdao: "Wow! I remember, you are ......"

Alina, who was walking behind, grabbed the candlestick on the table and slammed it down on the back of his head, and the butler fell down.

Yu Qing pulled Alina and hurriedly ran to the backyard, just ran to the corridor, suddenly a large number of government soldiers appeared in front, blocking Yu Qing's way, Lord Bam also led a team of government soldiers from the front hall to chase up, the front of the government soldiers pulled out their longbows, and surrounded Yu Qing and Alina.

In the face of these dozens of hard bows, Yu Qing thought that he should be able to cope with it, but Alina was powerless, and it was not easy to retreat with her whole body. Yu Qing protected Alina behind him.

Lord Bam was furious and said, "Who are you? You dare to save the woman I Bam wants? ”

Yu Qing listened and said: "Bold Bam, you dare to forcibly occupy the people's daughters in broad daylight, is there any royal law here?" ”

Bam sneered: "Wang Fa? You don't have to ask, who in this Gaochang City doesn't know that I, Bam, is the king! After that, he beckoned: "Give it to me, kill this guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, but don't hurt my little liver Alina." ”

I saw the government soldiers with bows flashing to both sides, and the government soldiers behind were holding spears and besieging Yu Qing.

Yu Qing opened his posture, calmly responded to the battle, snapped a few times, and knocked down two or three government soldiers, but a large number of government soldiers surrounded him again. Yu Qing was afraid that Alina would be injured, so he had to fight with the government soldiers while protecting Alina, and in confusion, a spear pierced his arm.

At this moment, a loud shout was suddenly heard: "The prince of servant bones has arrived!" Baye Cubam takes over! ”

Yu Qing followed the prestige, only to see a young man wearing a ruby buttoned ferret felt hat on his head, wearing a white fox armpit velvet, a gold sheath ring on his waist, a gold inlaid jade handle treasure knife on his waist, and a gold mantis pattern felt boot on his feet.

One of the guards shouted angrily: "Bold Bam, why don't you come out to meet your Royal Highness the prince?" ”

When Bam heard the report, he hurriedly ran to the front hall, greeted him, knelt down on one knee and said: "The minister Baye Guam saw His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister did not know that His Royal Highness the Prince had arrived, and he was disappointed, and he deserved death!" ”

The prince waved his hand and said, "Get up!" ”。 The prince looked around, his gaze stayed on Qing and Alina, and he couldn't help but look sullen and asked, "Bam, isn't today the day of your great wedding to take a concubine, what's going on?" ”

Bam glanced at Yu Qing slantedly, smiled embarrassedly and said: "There is a thief in the house, no, I am organizing the government soldiers to arrest it, but I unexpectedly neglected His Highness!" ”

The prince said, "I see, deal with it." What about the Grand Doctor? ”

Bam said tremblingly, "The chief doctor has a hangover and is resting in the upper guest room of the lowly mansion!" ”

"Bastard! I came here today because my mother, Kedun, was sick, and I had come to ask the chief physician to consult him, and to wake him up quickly. ”

Bam did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly called a family member to ask for a chief doctor. After a while, two family members carried the chief medical officer out. The medical officer was drunk and unconscious.

Seeing this, Bam didn't know what to do, he patted the face of the chief medical officer and said, "Wake up, wake up, His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived!" ”

But the doctor muttered a few muttered words, and immediately fell asleep again.

The prince was furious, shook his hand and said, "What kind of system is this?" Let's go! After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave.

At this time, only a loud voice was heard: "Your Royal Highness, please stay!" ”

The prince looked back, and at some point, Yu Qing had already come to the front hall and knelt down on one knee to bow to him.

Several guards drew their weapons and looked at Yu Qing with vigilant eyes.

The prince asked, "Who are you?" ”

Bam replied, "This is the thief who broke into the lowly mansion!" ”

Yu Qing snatched the words and said: "Your Royal Highness Mingjian, I'm not a thief, it's just that Master Bam robbed my sister, and I'm just here to save her back." Could it be that under the rule of His Royal Highness the Prince, no one cares about such a robbery of famous women? ”

The prince looked at Bam and asked, "Is that so?" ”

Bam said, "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense, they owe me rent, and use this woman to pay off the debt!" ”

Yu Qing continued: "Prince Mingjian ......"

"That's it!" Before Yu Qing finished speaking, the prince interrupted him and said: "This prince doesn't want to listen to your rap here, leave this matter to the internal affairs yamen to deal with, I came today to invite the chief medical officer, since he is already drunk and unconscious, let's go to the medical hall to find someone else!" "Then I'm ready to go.

"Princely and slow!" Yu Qing shouted.

"What's the matter with you?" The prince asked impatiently.

Yu Qing said: "It's not a secret, Wechen has studied medicine in Xuanqi Mountain for a few years, and he is confident in medical skills, I wonder if the prince can let Wechen go to see Youdun's illness?" ”

The prince was stunned and said, "You said you came from Xuanqi Mountain?" ”

Yu Qing said: "Exactly! ”

The prince said, "Who are you Daoist Liu Xuanqing?" ”

Yu Qing couldn't help but be extremely surprised: "Liu Xuanqing is my master, could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince knows his old man?" ”

The prince said with a slightly surprised expression: "Daoist Liu Xuanqing once came to our palace, that year my father Khan got sick, and the medical officers of the entire medical hall had nothing to do, Master Liu traveled here, he only took three days, and he cured his father Khan's illness, that is really a living immortal." But you said that you are Liu Daochang's apprentice, what evidence do you have? ”

Yu Qing naturally couldn't come up with any evidence, so he said: "I can cure your Kedun's mother's illness is the proof." ”

"Well," said the prince, "if you can heal my mother of Kotun, I will make your own decisions and let Bam let your sister go, but if you speak wild words and deceive me, do not want to leave this place alive." ”

Yu Qing said: "A word is a certainty! It's just that Weichen still has one more thing to ask His Highness. ”

"Say!"

"His Royal Highness Qing allowed Weichen to bring Sister A into the palace together."

"Accurate!"

Bam hated Yu Qing viciously, Yu Qing spread his hands disapprovingly, and said to Bam: "Master Bam, why don't you invite my sister Alina quickly, do you want to disobey His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

The prince glanced at Bam, who hurriedly said, "Don't dare! So he commanded that Alina should be brought.

At this time, Astafa who was hiding in the shadows also ran out. Yu Qing said: "This is my brother! ”

So, Yu Qing, Alina, and Astapha followed the prince and his party to the palace and met the prince's mother. I saw that Kedun's face was sad, his complexion was dark, and he was moaning incessantly because of pain, and he was about to die.

Yu Qing checked the pulse of Kedun, looked at the tongue coating and eyelids, and said to the prince and queen: "Kedun's illness is caused by the heat and dampness of the heat, because the heat poison is stagnant in the abdomen, and the poisonous gas is stagnant. And grab 10 grams of Huoxiang, Poria cocos, big-bellied bark, perilla leaves, and Angelica dahurica, and 5 grams of orange peel, bellflower, atractylodes, magnolia, Fabanxia, and licorice. Fry on high heat for a moment, fry on a simmer for a moment, and take the decoction three times at a time for four hours. Then he wrote down the recipe and gave it to the prince.

The prince instructed the officials to grab the medicine. After the medicine was boiled, the queen took a bowl of medicine and felt suddenly brightened and looked much better.

When the prince saw that Kedun's mother was sick, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered Haosheng to entertain Yu Qing and the others.

The next morning, shortly after taking the medicinal soup again, Kedun felt refreshed, as if he had been cured.

Ke Dun said to the prince: "Wang'er, Yu Qing's family has cured the Mourning family's illness, you must thank the Mourning family for the Mourning family!" ”

When the prince saw that his mother's illness had been cured, he was very happy, and after reporting to his father Khan, he gave Astapha and Alina Uighur nobility, as well as a bag of gold coins.

Yu Qing said goodbye to the prince with Astapha and Alina and returned to the countryside. Grandma couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw Yu Qing and them come back, and the family was finally reunited.

At the initiative of Yu Qing, it was decided that the gold given by the prince would be used to buy some houses and land.

After everything was settled, Alina saw that Astafa was unsettled all day, and avoided herself, intentionally or unintentionally, and she decided to talk to Astafar.

That night, with stars and a crescent moon and insects chirping, Alina and Astafa sat under a sand willow tree to cool off.

Alina asked, "Astafa, what's wrong with you lately, always looking restless and lost?" ”

Astafa was silent for a while and said, "Alina, I'm so scared, I'm afraid you're going to leave me!" ”

Alina said, "How do you have such an idea? ”

Astapha said: "Since the appearance of Brother Yu Qing, our lives have changed dramatically, I really want to thank him, I know, you and he are not brothers and sisters, you have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the two have no guess......es."

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Alina interrupted Astafa from his words.

Astapha grabbed Alina's hand and said, "Alina, you are a good girl, but a great hero like Brother Yu Qing is as worthy as you, if you can be together, I will sincerely bless you!" ”

Saying this, Astapha actually burst into tears, and he said, "Why does my heart hurt so much when I say this?" ”

Alina sneered, "Fool, I thought something was going on!" Me and the wolf cubs, oh! Yu Qing's brotherhood is the same as sister and brother, we are all a family, where do you want to go? Yes, I like Brother Yu Qing very much, but I love you, fool! ”

After hearing this, Astafa's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and he grabbed Alina's hand tightly, and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

In fact, Yu Qing also felt the subtle changes in Astafa. On this day, he said to Astafa: "Brother, you see that everything is in order now, I am going to Chang'an, the capital, but there is still a piece of heart, you have taken care of Grandma and Alina for so long, I don't know how to thank you." ”

Astapha said: "What did the brother say? That's what I should! ”

Yu Qing continued: "You see that you and Alina's matter should also be done, the man should take the initiative, do you want me, who is a younger brother, to mention this matter?" ”

Astapha turned out to be a little shy.

So, Yu Qing told her grandmother about it, and of course her grandmother was very happy, so she decided to choose an auspicious day for Astafa and Alina to get married.

After the wedding of Astapha and Alina, Yu Qing has been delayed in Gaochang for nearly a month, and the matter explained by the uncle has not yet been completed, so he handed over his grandmother and Alina to Astafa, Yu Qingxin has no obstacles, and he can go to his own business with confidence.

Bidding farewell to his grandmother, Alina and Astafa, Yu Qing bought a fast horse and set out on the road to Chang'an.
