Tuoba Yan sent people to invite Yang Hao to the banquet. The location is in the middle of the camp of the two sides, which can alleviate the doubts of Yang Hao's side. Two teams far away from their own tribe and who don't know each other's roots, want to get to know each other as friends, so it's more thoughtful to do so.

The Bai Ling Department participated in the Yeli Clan Conference, obviously because they were afraid that the tribes would gain benefits and they would be outcast. Now that he met Yang Hao on the road, how can there be any reason not to seize the opportunity to make contact first. They invited each other, which was expected by Yang Hao, but if they didn't come, it would be a little strange.

Yang Hao thought for a while, agreed to the other party's invitation, and waited for the messenger to go back to report the news, so he said to Mu En: "Bring twenty guards and go to the banquet with me." Mu En responded and turned around to leave, Yang Hao called him again, thought for a moment and said, "Also, invite Miss Tang to come, I will take her to the banquet together." Mu En gave him a strange look and left.

The Bai Ling Department made a living by selling illicit salt to the Song Realm and the Khitan, and Yang Hao didn't want to have anything to do with this kind of business. Now among the northwestern tribes, he is the weakest force, but he dares to be so arrogant because he has the secret support of the Zheyang family, and on the surface he is a member of the imperial court. Among the several forces, except for the Li clan in Xiazhou, there is no one who stands on the opposite side of him, so he can be like a fish in water.

Although the profits from selling salt are large, once he intervenes in this business, he will inevitably compete with the Zheyang family for profit, and he will bury disasters in the court. But now that he can win more support, it is a point of strength, and he doesn't want to lose the big tribe of the Bai Ling Clan.

Li Yuchang is a salt seller, and once Tuoba Yan talks about cooperating with Luling Prefecture to sell salt, he can use Li Yuchang to prevaricate and let him know that he already has a partner in selling salt, which is more appropriate than directly refusing. At the same time, the business of the Tang family is large and complicated, so Tang Yanyan can discuss with him, and if he can cooperate in other aspects, he will not be left empty-handed.

From a distance, in the middle of the two sides, the young master of the White Spirit Department had already arrived with people, but there were more than a dozen people, and they first lit a few bonfires nearby, and then spread felt carpets and small tables on the ground. And Yang Hao's side ......, Yang Hao is still waiting for Tang Yanyan.

Yang Hao didn't come to the left or right, and he was about to turn into a Wangfu stone next to the river. It wasn't until Yang Hao was looking forward to wearing it that Miss Tang appeared.

Miss Tang walked very easily and naturally, looking casual. But as long as you have long eyes, you can see that this little beauty attaches great importance to tonight's banquet, and she has dressed up carefully, from the style of the green silk hair to the pattern embroidered on the boots, it is obvious that they have been carefully selected.

"The black light is blind, who will show the beauty!" Yang Hao snorted disapprovingly in his heart, but a pair of eyes looked up and down: "Not to mention, this little girl is very eye-catching if she doesn't dress up, and this one looks really ...... Not...... Very tasty look.

Along the way, she was dressed in a half-hu suit, which was easy to travel far, and tonight, she wore an authentic Hanfu, a white skirt, dyed goose yellow at the hem, and decorated with small pearls that pressed the wind, shining under the torch, setting off her like a fairy falling from the sky.

The upper body is a light blue back, a thin blue ribbon is tied around the waist, and a acacia belt is played. If you go to a banquet in such a place, if you really dress up luxuriously, it will become a joke, and such an elegant, concise and solemn dress will be more noble and graceful.

Best of all, she also wore a snow-white cape. Where there are beards and geese, women wear a cloak, that is a variety of styles, just holding the cloak of a pair of small jade hands, but also make people have a feeling of amazement. The cloak that had been lifted by the wind was draped over her shoulders, and although it was not wings, it was already fluttering.

But looking at Yang Hao's expressionless face, Tang Yanyan's little face couldn't help but collapse......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "The river next to us originally came from Shangjun, flowed eastward into the Sainei, and then eastwardly flowed out of the Saiwai, passed through the Saichengliang, to the Sancha River, and then joined the water, from Yulin and Hengshan to the south, to Yinzhou, Shangjun to Qingjian, and then turned east, before flowing into the Yellow River." Because of its turbulent water, rolling stones and sand, the body of the river is east and west, and there is no direction, so it has a name - called Wuding River. ”

Tuoba Yan introduced to Yang Hao with a smile, although he is a businessman, but he does not change his rough style, in fact, the big salt lord from ancient times, although he is in business, but because he sells illegal salt, he often has to fight with others, so most of them are quite heroic. However, he has lived with the Han people for a long time, and he is quite literate in speaking, and he has obviously read a lot of poetry and books.

"Hehe, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Wuding River has been flattened on both sides of the river, and it has become a natural battlefield. When Qin Shi Huang sent the general Meng Tian to command 300,000 soldiers to resist the Xiongnu in the north, he took Shangjun as the key town. Since then, the Han and Hu have fought each other, killing people like hemp, and pillows and corpses have accumulated on both sides of the river. Now listening to the sound of the waves, it is still infinitely cold, hehe, come and come, adults invite wine, and use wine to drive away the cold on the body. ”

"Oh? This river is the Wuding River? Yang Hao was surprised, he really didn't know the name of the river.

"Swore to sweep away the Huns without regard for themselves, and five thousand mink brocade mourned Hu Chen. Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream. This river has long been known to future generations through this Tang poem, but he didn't expect that the famous Wuding River is the big river that is rushing and roaring beside him.

"The Dongyang clan has always been arrogant, even our Hengshan tribes are often harassed by it, not to mention my Bailing Clan, every time salt passes through their territory, they have to be exploited. As soon as the adults came, they led the soldiers to the sky, swept away the bandits, and returned the place to peace, and our Hengshan tribes also benefited from it, which is really happy, hehehe......"

Tuoba Yan complimented, while looking at the big men sitting in the lower seat, Yang Hao brought these dozens of personal guards, all of them were outstanding warriors selected from Li Guangcen's clan tent, those big men who came to protect Li Guangcen at the beginning are now all in the regimental training army, and they can't be brought out, but these people are all selected from other clansmen, everyone is in their early twenties, born with big shoulders and round waists, burly figures, and is very good at riding and archery kung fu, and can also block ten in hand-to-hand combat. Tuoba Yan is well-informed, and looking at their spiritual bearing, he knows that there is awe in his eyes.

Yang Hao smiled and said: "Yes, it is not easy to gain a foothold in the land of Luling, where the mountains and rivers are poor. The official family is sympathetic to the people, and specially transferred thousands of elite soldiers from the forbidden army and the border army to listen to my use, they are all warriors who dare to fight, and a few bandit villages, but they are local chickens and dogs. ”

Tuoba Yan let out an "ah" and said in surprise: "It turned out to be the elite selected from the forbidden army and the border army?" No wonder...... It's so amazing. ”

There was a young man on the side, but he pouted after listening to Yang Hao's words, but no one paid attention to the young man's expression.

"Daddy, the lamb is roasted." It seems that he doesn't want to listen to Yang Hao's bragging, and when he saw someone carrying a roast sheep over, he excitedly patted the case and said, revealing a look of slander.

This young man is the son of Tuoba Yan, his name is called Stone, and he is only eight years old now, but his body is very strong, just looking at the size, he is about ten years old, he is wearing a traditional robe of the Qiang people, the top of his head is shaved, and he is braided with pigtails, because he is young, he only feels cute when he looks at it, but he is not as vicious and ugly as Li Jiyun he saw that day.

"Hehe, you kid, in front of adults, you must not be rude." Tuoba Yan patted his head, like a reprimand, but with a little doting. He clapped his palms, and the four Bailingzhai girls who were dancing around the bonfire floated back a few steps, bent down to caress their chests, and retreated.

Tang Yanyan, who was watching them dance, also raised his head, only to see a golden roasted lamb being carried up by four big men, the lamb was lying on the wooden frame, and there were a few coriander in his mouth as grass, and the fragrance was overflowing from afar, which made people salivate.

Tuoba Yan got up with a smile and pulled out a knife from his waist, the knife was bright, very similar to the two knives after the original Zhu Zhu'er polished, but the one was not boxwood, Yang Hao saw the injury of the scene, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.

Tuoba Yan held the knife and lightly slashed the back of the lamb, then cut off a piece of meat from the lamb's forehead, put it on a plate and respectfully presented it to Yang Hao, and put a plate of green salt for him, and said with a smile: "My lord, please enjoy." ”

Yang Hao knew that this was a courtesy to the elders or those with high status, so he smiled slightly, and he was not polite, he picked up the piece of meat, dipped it in the salt, and threw it into his mouth. Although the roast lamb barbecue at this time does not brush any ingredients, only the taste of salt, but the lamb has no fishy taste, the meat is fresh and tender, almost melts in the mouth, and it is very delicious when dipped in salt.

Seeing that Yang Hao had eaten the piece of meat, Tuoba Yan retreated to the lamb again, and a small silver knife flew up and down in his hand, and the meat on the lamb's body fell down piece by piece, and the action was very sharp. The meat was divided into plates and sent to Yang Hao, Tang Yanyan, Mu En, and others, and finally it was the turn of several elders of the Tuoba Yan clan and Xiao Shi.

The wine has passed thirty years, and when the important dish of roast lamb is presented, the two sides are already very familiar with each other, and Tuoba Yan skillfully asked Luling Prefecture's opinion on selling green salt, and Yang Hao couldn't help but secretly praise his patience.

In fact, if you put yourself out and consider it purely from the perspective of the people, if Yang Hao is a flat-headed person, he will also buy green salt instead of anti-salt. The quality of green salt is good, and the price is cheap, how can there be a reason to give up the good quality and cheap green salt to buy the salt. This is the imperial court's ban on the sale of green salt, and it is the interests of the imperial court that is safeguarded, and from this point alone, he is an official of the imperial court, so he cannot express sympathy for a smuggler of salt, not to mention that this also involves his strategic allies, the Zheyang family.

Yang Hao used the excuse that he didn't know much about the salt business, so he pushed the topic to Tang Yanyan. Although Tang Yanyan has never taken care of this aspect, he is not ignorant. Yang Hao then induced them from the side, prompting them to cooperate in other aspects. Tang Yanyan was almost obedient to Yang Hao, and the seemingly rugged Tuoba Yan was also an extremely alert figure, so the topic gradually went around porcelain, silk, iron pots, and tea.

These materials are also in demand on the grassland, and they are very profitable, but even if the Bai Ling clan has a lot of capital, they don't have the way to buy a large amount from the Central Plains, if the Tang family is willing to develop them into an agent of their own on the grassland, then they will naturally be happy. So as soon as he got this topic, although the salt business was not negotiated, Tuoba Yan was not discouraged, so he talked to Tang Yanyan about buying these materials.

The two sides were talking lively, and suddenly Xi Yuyu heard a horse neighing in the distance, and then he heard the horse's hooves rushing and galloping towards this side, Yang Hao heard this, Huo Di stood up at once, stretched out his hand and pressed the hilt of the sword. Mu En flashed in front of him with an arrow step, protected his body, and said calmly: "Your Excellency doesn't need to panic, it's just two horses." ”

"Huh? Wrong! Mu En's ears moved, and he changed his words: "At least six horses, but no more than ten, be on guard!" ”

Those guards were just sitting cross-legged on the felt carpet, drinking wine in a big bowl, eating meat, looking very leisurely, but at this time, they jumped up one after another, like a cheetah, and quickly flashed in front of Yang Hao and Tang Yanyan, Tuoba Yan looked back and couldn't help but show admiration.

There are at least forty people on both sides here, and the place on both sides is just a little more than a mile is the camp of both sides, since the other party only has six or seven horses, naturally there is no need to panic too much, then Tuoba Yan does not take a sword, and walks a few steps forward slowly, his face is very calm.

Yang Hao didn't listen to the sound of horses' hooves, and when he heard that there were only a few people, he didn't want his subordinates to show their timidity in front of people, so he also waved their hands to let them retreat, walked up on their own, and stood side by side with Tuoba Yan. But the little guy named Stone actually grabbed a bow and mounted an arrow, which caused people to stunt like a little adult. However, Yang Hao knew that the bow in the hand of this little guy was by no means a toy, although the young man on the grassland could only go into battle at the age of twelve or thirteen to kill the enemy, but at the age of seven or eight, he could ride a horse and shoot at the age of seven or eight, and even hunted wild wolves There were not a few, that little bow was really a murderous guy.

The fast horses galloping in the night were indeed coming towards the place where the bonfire was lit up, and seeing that the two people in front of them were galloping towards them, and there was no sign of slowing down, several of Tuoba Yan's clansmen had already stopped forward with steel forks.

A knight galloping on his horse shouted, "Help, save people!" Before he could say a word, there was an arrow flying from behind, it was not easy to shoot the human body in the night, but he had rushed to the front, there was a fire, the figure was obvious in the night, the arrow hit his back in the heart, he screamed and fell off the horse, the horse ran very quickly, one of his feet was still hanging in the stirrup, dragged forward by the horse, stumbled all the way, and was kicked by the horse's hooves one after another, and when the horse stopped in front of him, the man's head was already covered with blood, and even the facial features could not be distinguished.

Looking at his miserable appearance, Yang Hao and Tuoba Yan couldn't help but gasp, and at this time, the other horse also came closer, and the person on the horse called out heartbreakingly: "Danmu!" Then she fell off her horse, and her hat fell to the side, and the man was a girl, and she threw herself at the dead body, and she took him in her arms and began to weep aloud.

Yang Hao and Tuoba Yan looked at each other, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing when they were drinking and feasting by the river at night. The woman was wearing a bright red jacket, the collar and placket were embroidered with large peonies, the cuffs of the robe were decorated with snow-white rabbit fur, and the hat that fell to the ground was not the tile-like green cloth that the Qiang women were used to wearing, but a three-eared hat more than a foot high.

Five more horses chased after him, and from a distance, he saw more than a dozen men holding steel forks around the bonfire, and the five horses stopped, observing the movement here, and exchanging something with each other.

Yang Hao glanced at the five figures standing in the darkness, and asked the girl who was crying with the corpse, "Who are you, and why are those people chasing and killing you?" ”

The girl wiped a handful of tears with her sleeve, raised her face and cried and said a few words, looking at this girl, only thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing this red dress is still immature, her words are very strong, and the Chinese is mixed with some local language speeches, Yang Hao listened to her but still like a duck listening to thunder, I don't know what to say at all.

On the side, Mu En explained in a low voice: "My lord, this girl said that her name is Raba, and she is a common person from Qiang Village on Tumaoling, a hundred miles away, and she married this man named Danmu. Unexpectedly, when they rushed back to Danmu's tribe, they were robbed of their relatives, and several of Danmu's clansmen had been killed, and those people behind them were the ones who robbed their relatives. ”

Yang Hao was furious when he heard this: "Killing a husband and taking a wife, it's really a great crime, arrest these five gangsters." ”

Tuoba Yan and Mu En both looked at him with strange eyes, and neither of them moved. Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Mu En, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mu En's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he glanced at Tuoba Yan, and then explained in a low voice: "My lord, is it a crime to rob relatives on the grassland, and others have no right to interfere." As long as the man who wanted to rob the man and his friend succeeded in killing this Danmu, the girl would become the man's wife, and no matter how much she hated that person now, she could only go with that man for a while, be his wife, and bear children for him. Only the relatives and clansmen of this Danmu have the right to seek revenge from those people, and if others interfere, they will be blamed by all the tribes, which is to break the rules on the grassland. ”

Yang Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, the customs on this grassland are really very different from those in the Central Plains, if a woman in the Central Plains is killed by her husband, I am afraid that the enemy will end up in an endless end, but this girl cried so sadly, obviously she was in love with Na Danmu, and she was very affectionate, but ...... On the day of marriage, her husband was killed, and she had to accept her fate and become the wife of the enemy, which is really unimaginable.

Seeing that he was silent, Mu En said to the girl who was stroking the corpse and weeping bitterly: "Miss Raba, the person is dead, don't be too sad, we helped you bury the body, you can go with those people, Miss Raba, Raba......"

Tang Yanyan only came out from behind the big men who were protecting her at this time, and only listened to half of the sentence, and said strangely: "What Raba?" ”

Mu En glanced back at her and said, "It's this girl's name, which means chrysanthemum." ”

At this moment, the five people standing in the distance seemed to have made up their minds, and the five of them rode their horses and approached slowly, and one of them immediately shouted loudly in the middle: "I don't know which tribe's brother is sleeping by the river, I am Rigude of the Meisi tribe in Yinzhou, today I came to rob her with a few friends and killed her husband Danmu, Raba is now my wife, please hand her over, don't break the rules on the grassland." ”

As soon as the man said that, his body stiffened suddenly, and he fell off the horse with a "uh", his four friends who helped to rob relatives shouted in surprise, and immediately turned their horses to retreat quickly, Yang Hao slowly lowered his head, and saw that the sleeves of his robe were stirred by the arrow wind, and he was still shaking at this time. Only two feet behind him, Shi slowly put down the small bow in his hand and said loudly: "He robbed the kiss, I also robbed the kiss, this woman, I want it!" ”

Tuoba Yan's face changed greatly, and he paused and said, "Stone, you ......"

He is also a person who reacts very quickly, and at this moment he clearly distinguishes the stakes and immediately shouts: "Go, kill those four people, and not one of them will escape!" ”

Several of his subordinates immediately turned on their horses and chased after those people, who had fled to a distance, and were scolding and intimidating in the name of the Meisi tribe, you must know that the Meisi tribe has thousands of people, and there are many people, and there are not too many people who dare to provoke them. It wasn't until they saw someone riding a horse chasing after them that the four of them realized that there were many people in the family at the moment, and they were afraid that they were suspected of murder, so the four of them immediately fled on horseback. It's just that they chased the couple all the way, and when they got here, they ran out of horsepower, how far could they escape?

When Tuoba Yan turned his head again, he regained the face of a shrewd businessman with long sleeves and good dancing, and said with a smile to Yang Hao: "My lord, inviting adults to a banquet tonight, the wine was originally strong, but it is really a sin to let so many people spoil Yaxing." My lord, let's continue drinking. ”

There was a bloody corpse lying next to him, how could Yang Hao have such tough nerves, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, this mansion is not strong enough to drink, so I would have said goodbye." You'd better settle the matter at hand first. ”

"Yes, yes," Tuoba Yan said rather uneasily, "My lord must not be used to seeing this thing of fighting and killing, but the grassland ...... That's it, a word can be a friend, and a word can be an enemy. The little beast ......"

He glared hatefully at the girl who was standing beside the weeping Raba, and looked at her son, who was playing with the little bow, as if nothing had happened, and said hatefully: "That little beast has made a mistake, and if he does not take the opportunity to cut off those four people, I am afraid that he will bring a catastrophe to his own people." ”

Yang Hao smiled faintly and said: "This official is provincial, the customs and habits on the grassland, this official is very respectful, although the young patriarch is relieved." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the little stone: "This son is not a thing in the pool." But he ...... What should it be? At such a young age, he ......"

Thinking of his calm expression after the killing, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "What a monster!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "I really can't understand the customs on the grassland, and I don't seem to understand the people on the grassland at all, that young man ......" Yang Hao shook his head slightly.

At this time, the banquet had dispersed, and when the banquet was dispersed, Tuoba Yan's men happened to come back with the war horses of the four people and their heads, and none of the four people could escape. Seeing that he was about to enter his camp, Yang Hao looked back at Bai Ling's camp, and felt that everything he had experienced tonight was a little incredible.

Tang Yanyan exclaimed: "That little chrysanthemum is indeed very handsome, but how can a child know what love is, in my opinion, he, like you, is also not angry with that gang of people for killing their husbands and wives, like cutting the path of robbers, so they killed people." Hey, boy hero, that's amazing. ”

Yang Hao shook his head and said: "The look of the young man when he collected the bow, I am looking at it, although this child is much more mature than his peers, after all, he is not as good as the adult city, I always feel that it is ...... The purpose of his murder is not so simple. ”

"I think you've been fighting with those old foxes all day long, and you're getting suspicious." Tang Yanyan snorted: "What purpose can that young man have at such a young age? If you turn back three times at a time, don't forget that little daisy. ”

Yang Hao glanced at her and smiled maliciously: "Don't be old daisies and daisies, what do you know, people call Raba." ”

Tang Yanyan wrinkled his nose and snorted: "Raba is a little daisy, if you don't forget it, you will pick up eight hundred soldiers tonight and go to grab it, that young man's archery is very good, do you have the guts?" ”

Yang Hao smiled: "They also have a lot of manpower, it takes a little effort to rob Miss Laba, if you rob Miss Tang......"

He knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly stopped, Tang Yanyan blushed, she bit her lip, but straightened her chest, and said loudly: "Okay, if you have the ability, come and rob it, do you dare?" ”

Don't dare, of course don't dare, Yang Hao withered at that time. Tang Yanyan glared at him hatefully, and said angrily: "Xiong Bao! ”

The bear bag is the bear bag, Yang Hao doesn't let go of a fart, he walks to the camp with his head stuffy, Tang Yanyan doesn't fight when he sees his moral temperament, she pauses, and follows him hatefully, those feet are eager to try and always want to kick him hard in the ass.

After entering the camp, he was about to walk separately to his accommodation, when Yang Hao suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "By the way, there is something I forgot to say to you." ”

Tang Yanyan stopped and asked in surprise, "What words?" ”

Yang Hao looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "You put a lot of thought into your clothes tonight, and you are dressed up very beautifully." ”

"Humph!"

"Tonight's answer with Tuoba Yan, the young master of the Bailing tribe, is also very decent, in fact...... You have a great talent for business. ”

"Humph!"

"Also, you're ...... tonight Particularly beautiful and very feminine. ”

Tang Yanyan finally couldn't help but smile, glared at him fiercely, and said coquettishly: "Do you have something to ask this girl to help with?" There's no need to be so big a sycophant, if you have something to say, hurry up. ”

"There really isn't," Yang Hao said with a smile, "It's completely heartfelt." It was getting late, and the girl had a good rest. ”

Yang Hao arched his hand and turned away, looking at his back, the corners of Tang Yanyan's mouth gradually hooked, revealing a sweet smile. To get his praise, tonight's thoughts were not in vain, but ...... Why did this stinky guy just say it now, disappointing people for a night......
