It has been the fifth day since entering the grassland, and this is the first time that Feng Wuxian has experienced this kind of scenery of "wind blowing grass and seeing cattle and sheep". He was not as dull as Yu Rong, so he was always in high spirits.

Although the herdsmen avoided the group when they saw it from a distance, there were still many curious people who followed the horses for a while. Unlike the strict rules of the people in the Central Plains, these children on the grassland have obviously not learned this kind of etiquette, so although there are many people laughing and playing around, those Mongolian elites only scold at most, and most of them look at these children with smiles on their faces.

At this time, he had already gone deep into the grassland, and Zhanrong followed closely behind Feng Wuxi, explaining some of the situation of the Mongolian tribes to this highness from time to time. He had fought several tough battles here with Zhan Pohan, and even once was ordered to annihilate a small tribe who did not know the height of the sky. In the grasslands, it is the principle of the jungle that the jungle eats the strong, and the golden tribes like the Kurten tribe occupy the most fertile pastures, the most abundant water sources, and the cattle and sheep are even dozens or even hundreds of times that of such small tribes. Their noble daughters can learn Chinese characters like the women of the Central Plains, and they can also ride horses and shoot hunting like the men of the grassland. All in all, in this place, strength is everything.

Feng Wuxian listened to Zhanrong's narration while thinking back to the history he had seen. Historically, whenever there has been a war in the Central Plains, the Cypriot tribes on all sides will be ready to move, and even plunder the hinterland of the Central Plains. After the two Jin Dynasty, there were five chaotic Hua, after the Tang Dynasty, the lord was weak and the minister was strong, and after the two Song Dynasty, it was taken advantage of by foreign races, and the land of Kyushu fell into the hands of foreign races. And since the founding of the Taizu, Lingyun has been able to firmly control the border land in his hands, although he has a minor illness. However, it has never affected the society and the people, and the people have almost forgotten the suffering of foreign races, which cannot but be said to be the credit of managing the army in a good way.

It's a pity that under the prosperous times. Even the Iron Army was exhausted, and it was the moment when the wind stopped in the northwest military camp without a trace. He could see that many of the sergeants were slacking. This is still a border fortress, if the garrisons of the Central Plains provinces are changed, I don't know if there is the strength of a war. Moreover, once the war begins, there is a way to go all the way and then decline. I am afraid that in the situation of quick victory and unsuccessful victory, it is difficult to say whether the large number of Lingyun soldiers can support it. No wonder the emperor insisted on leaving Zhan Pohan, in the situation of the peaceful land for many years, it is really difficult to find a general who can lead the troops.

Although you are the prince, Feng Wuxian refused the request of the three envoys to let him sit in the carriage all the time, and from time to time he came out of the carriage and rode to take a breath, after all, after sitting in the car for so many days, he was really a little bored. The special envoy of the Kurten Ministry on the side, Batug, is the nephew of Prince Lai Shandi, and according to his seniority, he can be regarded as the cousin of Feng Wuji. He is full of the boldness of a Mongolian man, even in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, he is like a bell, and Yu Rongqi always frowns when he hears it. Apparently dissatisfied with this impolite behavior.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, from here on, you will enter the ranch belonging to the Kurten Ministry." Batug proudly pointed into the distance, his eyebrows fluttering, and said, "These herdsmen belong to our glorious Kurten Ministry. Every year, the cattle, sheep and horses they offered to the prince filled the endless territory of the sweat tent. They were warriors who were skilled in mounted archery, and as long as they could step on horseback, they could add hundreds of thousands to their army. However, in addition to horses and warriors, our Kurten tribe is also the tribe that produces the most beautiful women in the entire grassland, and I want to ...... back then."

"Okay, presumably the envoy is going to mention the lonely grandmother Empress Xiaoci again." Feng Wuxian interrupted with a smile, "Just such a little road, Lone has already heard you say it three times." However, although Gu has never seen this grandmother, he can see the demeanor of Empress Xiaoci from the portrait. He suddenly glanced at the carriage and horse behind him, and then said in a low voice, "Cousin, according to Lingyun's law, the queen is virtuous and virtuous, if you always talk about the beauty of Empress Xiaoci, I'm afraid Lord Yu won't let you go." You've learned along the way, he's the most etiquette-minded. ”

Batuge was comforted by a cousin who was called by the wind without a trace, and at this time he nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and glanced at the carriage behind him with trepidation. The Imperial Court was originally a place to coordinate and manage the various ministries of Mongolia, and Yu Rongqi, an old and old-fashioned monk, even the princes of the various ministries looked up to him, and it was not cost-effective to provoke this person. Batuge obviously had a good impression of the crown prince who was not big enough for Feng Wuji, and since he couldn't praise Empress Xiaoci, he bragged about the beauties in the tribe, and even the other two envoys next to him frequently looked sideways.

Although the three major tribes of the grassland are also married from generation to generation, they have always held their breath with each other, after all, the reputation of the first tribe is too attractive, not to mention that the pasture cattle and sheep between them are all won by strength. Therefore, as long as the young people of these three major tribes meet together, there are few who are not inferior to one another, and if anyone loses to the people of the other two tribes, not only will they not be able to raise their heads when they go back, but they will even lose their official positions and honors. However, this time, although Batug showed off his might, no one dared to challenge at this time, and the two envoys had been instructed before they left to make inappropriate moves in front of Feng Wuji.

However, when they saw that Batug was still boasting about himself, Lei Qin of the Sotu Department couldn't hold back any longer, only to hear him sneer, and suddenly sneered: "The Kurten Ministry does produce beautiful women, but your men will only rely on women to succeed, so let's say that your left banner leader, if he didn't dedicate his beloved daughter to Prince Laishan's youngest son Bhutto, where would it be his turn to get his wine bag and rice bag to take up the position of flag leader?" ”

One sentence made Batug turn violently, and he roared, and he galloped forward, his fists raised even higher. "How dare you laugh at me that there are no warriors in the Kurten Ministry?" Although he knew that what the other party said was true, this matter was related to the face of the clan man, and he had to speak out to fight back.

Not to be outdone, Lei Qin already pressed his hand on the handle of the saber on his waist, "The guy who was promoted by betraying his daughter, you still stand up for him?" He obviously didn't want to clash head-on, but the words in his mouth were not ambiguous at all, "Batug, you are all the one who is about to be crowned the king of the county, and you don't even have the right to speak this little in the clan?" ”

This sentence is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, Batuge is a warrior who is famous in the grassland for his bravery, how could he bother to think so much, and the anger in his eyes is even greater. Seeing that the conflict between the two was unavoidable, the envoy of the Sak Ministry on the side, the county king Wu Erji, had to persuade him: "You two stop, don't forget what kind of place this is, shouting, wouldn't it make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see the joke of our three major departments!" ”

In normal times, Batug and Rechin would have to score a victory, but at this time, they stopped their tension at the same time and glanced at Feng Wuxian together.

It's okay not to look at it, but when they look at it, the two of them are shocked at the same time. I saw that Feng Wuxian had a serious face, and his cold eyes no longer had the gentleness of the past, and he seemed to be angry. Although Batug is a reckless man, he still knows what to do, and after dismounting from the saddle, he rushed to the prince's mount a few steps, knelt down on one knee and said: "Dear Royal Highness the Prince, Batug apologizes to you for the rude just now, your heart is as broad as this grassland, please forgive me for my impulsiveness." As he knelt down, Narechin dismounted and pleaded guilty, and the words in his mouth were almost the same.

Fortunately, the group was slightly out of the convoy at this time, so that the advance of the team was not delayed because of this unexpected incident. For the conflict just now, Feng Wuxian didn't have any mustard in his heart, it was well known that the tribesmen of the Mongolian tribes were brave and ruthless, and the reason why he showed that expression was just to show his existence in front of these two men.

"Of course Lone won't be angry because of a little thing, it's really not a big deal that you just had a quarrel, but the three major ministries are allies who depend on each other, so they are so competitive, if they are seen by those who have a heart, and then spread rumors everywhere, isn't it beneficial for outsiders?" Feng Wuxian pretended to be sad, "Lone knows that you are all warriors, but now on the grassland, not only the three major tribes of Kulten, Sotu and Sak are standing on their feet, but the Dzungars are staring at your position all the time. Who is a warrior is not something that can be decided in this ordinary martial arts, if you are not convinced by each other, why not compete on the battlefield? ”

The three of them lowered their heads silently, the three tribes had already formed a habit of supporting and competing with each other for many years, but they didn't notice anything wrong. Knocked by the specious words of Wind Without a Trace, they couldn't help but ponder the gains and losses. For the rest of the journey, not only did Batug speak a lot less, but even Rechin and Worji rarely spoke, only looking at Feng Wuji with strange eyes from time to time.

It took the group ten days to reach the sweat tent of the Kurten Tribe, and the prosperity here surprised even the wind without a trace. This place is a large camp guarded by Prince Laishan's direct relatives and many personal soldiers, and the cavalry scouts patrolling around alone are enough to have hundreds of people, and it is useless to talk about the heavy troops stationed here. Prince Lai Shan led his subordinates to welcome them out of the hundred miles, and the flattery was even more stacked, but Feng Wuxian had already understood the almost identical rhetoric of these people, so he just laughed it off.

Lu Yuanchang, the commander of the Breaking Battalion, and Zhang Yunfeng, the commander of the Shuangyue Battalion, naturally rushed over together, and they were ordered by General Feng Wufang to lead two thousand troops and horses to garrison here, but the rest of the people were all sent back to the camp. Although they were still muttering at first, they all came to their senses when the news of the alliance broke. If there were no military horses stationed here in the imperial court, the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be guaranteed, so they all worked hard to complete the task. After all, the example of Zhan Pohan is in front of him, who doesn't want to strive for progress, and when the time comes, he will be promoted to the rank of knight?

For the two generals of the Northwest Military Battalion, Feng Wuxi's attitude was neither cold nor enthusiastic, and after a few words of greeting, he signaled Xu Chun to send the two of them out, making Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng, who were interested in flattery, confused, and felt a little apprehensive in their hearts. However, both of them knew that they were in the land of outsiders at this time, and Feng Wuxian had arrived again, and their hearts of vigilance had been completely raised.
