Ashina means wolf in Turkic language, and the Turks claim to be the descendants of the wolf god, so this person with the surname Ashina is equivalent to the Li clan of the Tang Dynasty, which is the surname of the Turkic Khan. The status is also the most noble one in the grassland.

And Ashina has the meaning of "blue", so Ashina is also known as "Blue Turk", blue does not mean that his family has blue eyes, but refers to the highest god of the grassland, Ashina wolf god.

Therefore, for the Ashina tribe, it is a supreme honor, and the location of the annual festival is decided according to the whereabouts of their tribe.

This year, the venue was set at the Watuer grassland, which is about 100 miles away from the Di tribe, and has the most fertile grassland on the grassland. A river runs through it, guaranteeing life on the pastures.

However, although you are a Turkic khan tribe, Jieli did not use his power. This pasture was won back by force on the festival of Doom, so no one ever complained.

And from the Di tribe to the Watuer grassland, it only takes two days at most, which also means that Qin Ze has two days to prepare at most.

Horse-drawn carriages are not popular in the grassland, everyone is riding on horses, even the old gentleman is sitting on the horse slowly, Qin Ze follows him for fear that he will fall. But the old gentleman was staggering, but he had no tendency to fall. On the contrary, it looks much more leisurely than Qin Ze, a layman who has not ridden many horses.

The two tigers followed behind, ostensibly to escort these lambs, but in fact they just wanted to blend in with the Chamber of Commerce. Qin Ze didn't know what Su Yi's idea was, because according to the old gentleman's meaning, it was very likely that she already knew her identity.

But why didn't she denounce herself in the first place, and why did she have to put herself in danger now? If she really wanted to shelter herself, she would never have been able to take her to the Watur grassland.

Or did she not recognize herself at all?

However, in any case, the Watuer grassland is a great threat to Qin Ze. In the battle of Lingzhou City that day, there were not a few people who had seen Qin Ze. It is inevitable that there will be some people who have seen Qin Ze there, although he is now dressed in disguise, there are still some similarities between his eyebrows.

If it is recognized, then what would it be? Besides, the old gentleman had already told Qin Ze very clearly that Jieli had no intention of letting him go......

If he could, Qin Ze really wanted to refuse. But he got another piece of news - Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had met with Jieli Khan, and now it is very likely that he is on the Watur grassland.

This news was obtained from the old gentleman, and Qin Ze was also a little suspicious at first, after all, he couldn't be a little hasty now.

So he sent Erhu to investigate the news, and got the news that it was rumored that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty had arrived in the Watuer grassland, which also made Qin Ze's heart lively again.

Historically, Tang Jian did send an envoy to the Turks at the beginning of Zhenguan. And Tang Jian appeared here at this time for only a few reasons. First of all, this time in Lingzhou City and Yinshan, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks clashed, which was obviously against the original Weishui Alliance, and it was understandable for Li Er to send people here at this time.

Second, in fact, everyone knows that the Turks have suffered from snow disasters in the past two years, and when the Tang Dynasty besieged Liangshidu, it was because of the heavy snow that caused the failure of Jieli's aid.

Li Er moved his ambitions, although he categorically rejected the proposal to immediately send troops to the Turks above the court. But it is inescapable that he does have this ambition.

Tang Jian's envoy is the best proof that Li Er needs to know where the Turks have come now......

These Qin Ze actually didn't care too much, the demise of the Turks was already a matter of time. Internal contradictions are prominent, and natural disasters are continuous. In addition, the emergence of gunpowder has completely lost the last advantage of the Turks, so the fall of the Turks is only sooner or later.

Qin Ze only cared about whether he could return to the Tang Dynasty through Tang Jian, no matter how straightforward the old man's words were. Qin Ze still didn't want his life to be in the hands of others, and then he needed to rely on a few words that didn't hurt or itch to maintain the so-called trust.

The old gentleman is always drunk, unless he is serious. As long as he showed a solemn expression, Qin Ze would immediately become serious.

"Your audacity is indeed beyond my imagination, and you have risked your life into the Watur grassland, and you have thought about how to get out? The old man can't guarantee now that your identity has not been exposed. If you can at that time, don't show your head, if you can trust the old man, just listen to me. The old gentleman rode on horseback, leaned on Qin Ze's side, looked at him and said leisurely.

"The boy is the moth now, and the prairie is the night. Now that someone has given me a lamp, even if it costs me my life, the boy can only try. If you continue to choose to stay in the dark, the autumn wind and the boy can only bury their bones here. Therefore, the boy chose to pursue the light, even if it was burned by the fire, it was better than dying in the darkness. ”

Qin Ze needs more information, so he needs the help of the old man. Someone had to help him find out about Tang Jian, and if the old gentleman was willing, it would be the best.

Obviously, the old gentleman also heard the meaning of Qin Ze's words, and he shook his head at the moment and sighed: "The old man knows what your plans are, but how can he ask to see him casually." If it arouses the suspicion of the Khan, I am afraid that it will be exposed faster. ”

"So please have Mr. Law." Qin Ze smiled and pretended to be relaxed.

"The old man is really reluctant to give you this good wine." The old gentleman muttered, his eyes were hazy again, but he looked drunk again, and walked away leisurely.

The Tang people like to drink, and it has even become a way for scholars to boast of their high spirits. The price of wine is very high, and it is a good way to distinguish them from the poor.

Moreover, this method is not contaminated with the copper smell of gold and silver, and it is extremely elegant. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable if you drank up and composed a poem or two?

But the Turks don't write poetry, and they don't like the literary crepe things of the Tang Dynasty. For them, singing a couple of lines happily and casually is the most enjoyable life.

But they also like to drink, especially in these cold weather, which makes it even more important to keep warm.

Lamb wine is very popular here, and the fat shopkeeper is too busy these days to eat. A pound of wine is five taels of broken silver, even in Chang'an, which is a sky-high price.

However, the Turks did not lack gold and silver, and the gold and silver given to them every year by the Sui and Tang dynasties were enough for them to squander so much.

The Watur grassland, which was still a little empty in the past, has been full of people. Tents, like clouds in the sky, covered a large area of grassland.

All the tents were centered around the tent of Jieli Khan, radiating outward in circles.

The location of the Di tribe is located in the southwest of Jieli Khan, only five miles away from Jieli Khan's tent.

Qin Ze didn't dare to make any moves here, because within three miles of Jieli Khan's tent, there were at least tens of thousands of Ashina soldiers.

No one could get close to it, not even if it was to protect them, so Qin Ze didn't dare to make a move.

Qin Ze didn't see Su Yi come forward, and he didn't know where she was. Instead, let the fat shopkeeper start selling lamb wine directly here. In addition, he also took away 300 catties of lamb wine, and the fat shopkeeper said that he wanted to give it to the Khan to taste.

This made Qin Ze annoyed for a while, if he knew in advance that he was going to give the wine to Jieli, then Qin Ze would definitely not be polite. If this Jieli Khan can be poisoned, the Turks will probably be destroyed immediately.

Unfortunately, this can only be thought about......

Since yesterday, Qin Ze hadn't come out of the tent once, because just yesterday, another Tiele tribe came to the left of the Di tribe.

Qiboer is the general of the Tiele tribe, and the young man also belongs to the Tiele tribe. This was told to Qin Ze by Erhu, and he found the war horse that only belonged to the young man here.

This made Qin Ze feel a little troublesome, Qing Xiao had definitely seen himself. And the most recent time between the two of them was just one standing on the city wall and the other standing under the city wall.

Therefore, Qin Ze must try his best to avoid meeting with the young man, but sometimes he can not fulfill his wish.

The young man came to buy wine, and rode his majestic young slave horse. It still looks so unruly, as if nothing happened two months ago.

"I didn't expect to meet him here, I've already touched the other party's tent, and no one from the Tiele tribe should recognize us except him."

Impermanence and Qin Ze stood in the tent together, glanced at the young man through the gap, and said lightly.

"It's not easy to do, and I'm afraid he has long hated me. Although I have dressed up now, I still can't be too careless. When Qin Ze said this, he glanced fiercely at the green slave horse under his crotch. If it weren't for this horse, Qin Ze would have been able to directly blow up the young man under the city wall.

"Forget it, leave him alone for now. What about your news of Tang Jian? Can you be sure that the other party is really here? Qin Ze retracted his gaze, looked at Impermanence and asked.

"The Turks' defenses are too tight, and there is still no way to blend in. It is true that the banner of the Tang Dynasty has been exposed once, but I don't know if it is Tang Jian. ”

Qin Ze frowned, the most important thing for him now was to determine whether Tang Jian was here or not, and then he would discuss how to get in touch with him.

But now there are too many Turkic soldiers nearby, and there is no way for them to get close without alarming each other. However, since it is said that I have seen the banner of the Tang Dynasty, it must be very possible.

Qin Ze shook his head, sighed, and was about to speak. But suddenly there was a light in front of him, and then he saw a huge horse's head sticking in.

The sudden appearance of the horse's head also made Qin Ze startled, and he wondered if someone raised the horse that was not optimistic. But when he saw the horse's head clearly, he was stunned.

This is......

The horse's head was unharnessed, but a scar could be clearly seen on it. It was an arrow wound......

Qin Ze reacted in an instant, isn't this a green slave?
