In autumn, the weather in Balasagon is exceptionally cool. When you wake up in the morning, the breeze blows, and there is a hint of coolness. The originally lush grasslands are also covered with a layer of gold.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as 'the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep'.

It was at this time that Da Da Da · The sound of horses' hooves grew louder. A group of people who were moving the pasture immediately followed the sound and watched.

Then I saw an endless stream of people coming from far and near. Among them, at the forefront of the team were cavalrymen with extraordinary bearing. Each of them wore silver armor, rode tall horses, and carried banners.

In the sun, there is an indescribable majesty.

The people marching on the official road hurriedly drove the cattle and sheep to the side to avoid it. When the flow of people who didn't see the tail of the dragon came closer, the people trembled even more, kneeling on the ground and not daring to get up. The head is also buried deep in the chest like an ostrich.

Li Chengji sat in the carriage with sleepy eyes, looking at the sincere and frightened appearance of the people, and yawned a little tastelessly. Looking at the unchanged autumn scenery again, I lost interest.

"Yizhi, if you're tired, take a break, right?" Seeing that Li Chengji's face was tired, Li Xiao said with a loving face. It has been two hours since the departure with the army. Because many of the team members are accompanying their families, they can't go fast. So at this hour, it is still half way to the royal pasture of Atami (Lake Issyk-Kul).

"Mother! Out of the way! Li Chengji replied lazily, keeping his eyes on the retreating scenery.

It's also in his heart, in fact, he doesn't want to get involved in any autumn hunting.

After all, the construction of Jiao'an Fang is unfolding non-stop.

This is the first piece of land he has since crossed. Although it is not big, how to build it depends on his idea. Therefore, he cares about the construction of Jiao'an Fang.

In addition, the huge treasure under the Yang Mansion has not yet been transferred by a third. The further he dragged it back, the more anxious he became. Therefore, if he was allowed, he really did not want to go on an autumn hunt with the army.

It's a pity!

This autumn hunt is a first-class event in Daliao, and all courtiers, envoys of various vassal states, and all tribes must send people over. As Li Shichang's sister-in-law, Li Chengji has no reason not to come at all.

In the end, his father is the southern privy envoy of Da Liao, and his every move is looked down on. If you catch something wrong, there will be another battle of words in the court.

had no choice but to disobey the emperor's order and reluctantly followed.

Originally, he was still riding a horse. But the road was bumpy, and he was also tired. hid in Li Xiao's carriage and stole half a day of leisure.

Just in terms of comfort!

The carriage of this era is really not flattering. The clumping in the box is not much better than riding a horse. Li Chengji put on a few layers of bedding before he finally felt better.

Of course, this is also deeply related to the not so smooth official road.

If it was the kind of cement road and asphalt road in later generations, the carriage would certainly not be as bumpy as it is now.

This experience made Li Chengji have an unconscious rejection of going far away.

Just as he was thinking about this, several hiss suddenly came from his ears.

Then there was a darkness in front of him, but there were a few more figures next to the carriage.

"Third brother!" , Wang Mingyan pulled the reins and said with a smile. After a period of recuperation, his body is fully healed.

In the end, he was from the army, and his body bones are relatively strong. As a result, the recovery is relatively quick.

Due to the period of recuperation, Li Chengji asked Zhou Langzhong to go to the palace to take care of Wang Mingyan's body. So after the injury healed, Wang Mingyan came to the Li Mansion and thanked him.

Originally, because Li Chengji had lost his soul, Wang Mingyan had more or less estrangement in his heart. But after this incident, the friendship between the two is even more than before.

As soon as the words fell, Kombas also laughed and said, "Third brother! ”。 Although he was cheated out of a lot of money by Yarawachi, as time passed, the sullenness in his heart became less and less.

After all, the Holy One has already made a decision on this matter. No matter how unwilling you are, there is no other way.

"Hahaha... Big brother and sixth brother, why are you here now? Li Chengji came to his senses and replied with a laugh.

This journey is the most boring and tight!

Although the scenery is not bad, I have been staring at it, and I am tired. And he waited for them to come and talk to him.

When he heard this, he immediately pursed his lips and complained, "Hi! Third brother, don't you know? There are so many rules in the autumn hunt that we don't dare to walk freely. ”。

If it weren't for the halfway walk, the celebrant in charge of ceremonies would no longer look at it like that.

Wang Mingyan and Kumbas didn't dare to come here to find him.

In this regard, Li Chengji also understands. The political significance of the autumn hunt is far greater than the practical significance.

Because through this hunt, the envoys and tribes of many vassal countries have the opportunity to admire the majesty of the Son of Heaven. When it comes to etiquette, it is natural to do it to the extreme.

So he got out of the carriage and rode on the horse that his father had given him.

Because of its miraculous steed, it immediately attracted the admiration of the Kuoba people. Li Chengji's vanity was a little satisfied.

Then they followed the team and found Sun Mingxi, Yi Ra Chong'a, and Guo Shizhuang, talking and laughing, so lively.

When he came to Shi Molin's location, a team of envoys dressed in chic clothes attracted Li Chengji's attention.

Because the back of these people's heads are braided. All of them have small eyes and round faces, typical Mongolian appearance.

"Fifth brother, are these the missions from Mongolia?" , Li Chengji frowned slightly, and said suspiciously.

Shaking his head, he didn't know.

Or is it better informed to expand the bass, and said loudly: "Third brother, you also know Mongolia? ”。

As soon as he heard this, Li Chengji knew that he had guessed correctly.

But what puzzled him was that according to the trajectory of history, Mongolia would not be founded until 1206, that is, two years later. Why now, I sent an embassy over.

Kumbas didn't know that Li Chengji was puzzled, and continued: "Listen to my father, this Mongolia is a big tribe in the Mobei grassland. It is said that now, the Mobei grassland has been unified. The barbarians who surrendered to our Great Liao before have also become their defeated men. ”。

"Oh? The barbarians have all been defeated by them? When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised. Because the Naibarians are in the north of Daliao, they are a relatively powerful tribe. During the period of Empress Chengtian, she betrayed Da Liao and took refuge in the Jin Dynasty.

The Great Liao raised troops to fight many times, but they all returned in vain.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated by this unknown Mongolian tribe.

It is also the attention of Da Liao, which has been placed in the Hezhong area. Therefore, I don't pay much attention to the boundaries north of Da Liao.

So that the news of the Mongols rarely entered the upper class of the Great Liao.
