Wang Peng sat quietly by the Huang River, studying and looking at the undulating ice in the river, and quickly flipped a sheep in his hand, this sheep was very thin and not fat enough, only such a sheep, at this time the herdsmen would be willing to slaughter.

It has been two days since he arrived in the Diera Tribe, and the leader of the Diera Tribe, Yelu Jie, led him to the royal court's tooth tent, and I am afraid that he will not return to the Diera Department in a short time.

Without the permission of the Yelu Commander, Wang Peng could not trade with the herdsmen of the Diera tribe, and the herdsmen who were waiting around the caravan to prepare for the trade were also anxious, and they also did not dare to trade with the caravan at this time.

Zhen Sixteen had already gone to the Wuluo Protectorate in advance, leaving only Zhen Eighteen and Liu Bojin sitting next to Wang Peng, each of them holding a long wooden fork in his hand, and a big fish that had been washed and broken at the top of the wooden fork.

There are a lot of big fish here, but unfortunately the Khitan people can't weave nets, and they can't deal with the fish caught with a wooden fork, and as for cooking food, it's even more fantastical, so it tastes extremely fishy.

The hospitable herdsmen wandered around the caravan camp, and when they saw the caravan eating noodles, they would exchange their milk tea with their own food, and when they saw the caravan eating cooking cakes, they would bring a bowl of hot mutton soup, everything seemed so harmonious, and the herdsmen's children were surrounding the merchant-like man, the man was holding a twine in his hand, and the other end of the twine was flying high in the sky, and it was the season to release paper kites.

Several of the shepherd's children drooled, attracted by the grilled fish in the hands of Zhen Shibai and Liu Bojin, and looked at the fish that was about to be grilled.

Zhen 18 knew that the herdsmen would never take the food of the caravan for nothing, and would exchange things with themselves, but this exchange was stopped by Liu Bojin, and a worthless grilled fish could be exchanged for two old sheepskins, which was simply a robbery!

A few more children ran over, this time there were a lot of fish in the hands of several children, and they looked at Zhen 18 stupidly next to the fire, and Zhen 18 was a little embarrassed to see it, so he threw a fish that had been grilled to the children, which was an equivalent exchange.

The grilled fish spun around in the children's hands and disappeared, and after eating four or five fish in a row, the children happily jumped on the two-year-old pony next to them, whistled and left.

Zhen 18 is very envious of the appearance of those children galloping on war horses, they spend half of their time living on war horses, eating on war horses, sleeping on war horses, grazing and fighting on war horses, and solving seemingly impossible things on war horses, no matter how you look at it, it seems so coordinated.

When I arrived on the grassland, Zhen Eighteen really felt what a nation on horseback was, and his riding skills were good in the wolf's den, but compared to the people here, it was a big joke.

Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, the world is as wide as the horizon is, I don't know how many sides this sentence has said, but when you really feel it, it's completely different.

Living habits, environment, and even the local climate, flora and fauna will divide people into different races, there are those who are good at riding horses, there are those who are good at riding camels, and there are those who like to ride elephants.

It is better to have disagreements than not to have disagreements, and the master says that he doesn't really understand anything, and this sentence is heard as a joke, and if the master doesn't know, then everyone in the world is a fool.

I didn't know what it meant to sit in the well and watch the sky, thinking that the frog was stupid, but now I seem to be the frog, when I discussed with the shepherd what horses are good or bad, the horse I picked was almost out of breath by the shepherd's laughter, and at that moment let Zhen 18 know what it means to be flashy.

It was at this time that Zhen Eighteen learned a proverb on the grassland: the horse (stallion) can't run, and the mare has no strength, so the military horse and most of the riding horses are geldings, and those who think that the war horse should not be castrated are stupid, who doesn't know that the castrated war horse will be wasted, but compared with marching and fighting, this is nothing.

Life is a big classroom, go there and learn there, it is difficult to find a legendary BMW in the world, each kind of horse has a different use, tall horses, good explosiveness, but obviously lack of endurance. Horses with good endurance are usually not good at explosiveness, and their load-bearing capacity is also very low, and horses with balanced in all aspects are usually more delicate and have little courage, which just confirms the saying: Nine times out of ten, things in the world are unsatisfactory.

There was a tremor on the ground, and a team of horses appeared from the distant horizon, first a little, then into a black line, and soon a team of horses in a sharp formation appeared at the end of the line of sight, with billowing dust rapidly approaching in the direction of the caravan.

"It's coming!" Wang Peng whispered, put down the sheep that was about to be roasted in his hand and stood up, straightened the clothes on his body, and stared at the front motionless.

The horse team in the distance blew on the grass like the wind, and appeared next to the caravan camp while speaking, but did not rush into the caravan, just circled around the caravan's camp, and there were several war horses separated from the inside, galloping in the direction of Wang Peng, a black war horse rushed to the front, the people on the horse seemed to be attached to the war horse, the horse control skills were skillful, and suddenly grabbed the reins less than three feet away from Wang Peng's standing, the war horse neighed, and the front hooves kicked Wang Peng, who was about to kick to the ground, Wang Peng didn't move, as if he was already scared stupid and didn't know how to dodge, watching the horse's hooves fall, clinging to his body, he could already see the huge eyes of the war horse staring at him.

The man on the horse flew down from the war horse like an eagle, landed firmly on the ground, and the whip in his hand gently whipped on the horse's buttocks, and the war horse snorted, kicked twice and walked to the side and began to graze.

"Guests from afar, welcome to the Dirabu, I wonder what you are going to do here?"

The man is less than thirty years old, with a mustache, his skin is not rough, and his manners and conversation are very decent, as if he has seen a friend he has not seen for a long time.

"Wang Peng of the Tang caravan has met Captain Zhenwei, the caravan has come thousands of miles to the Governor's Mansion of Songmo, bringing the most beautiful silk, the best green salt, the strongest linen, and the indispensable tea on the grassland to the Khitan, please allow the caravan to trade in the Dierabu, and we will send the tax to the Dierabu tooth tent after the transaction is over......", Wang Peng replied with the impeccable etiquette of the Khitans.

The person who came was Yelu Lisi, the son of Yelu Lingling, the leader of the Diera Department, as long as he was the leader of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty would reward a lot of official positions, of course, these were some loose officials, and they didn't need a penny from the imperial court, so Wang Peng, as a caravan from the Tang Dynasty, naturally had to call Yelu Lisi's Tang official position.
