Although the royal court is called "royal court", it does not have the appearance of "court". In Hua Hagoliu's view, there are tents everywhere, except for the different sizes and colors, the others are not different.

In contrast, the courtyard of any large family in the Central Plains is much more magnificent than this royal court, there is no large courtyard with a few entrances and exits, no rockery pond, no pavilion and water pavilion, so how can it be called a "court"?

"It's okay when I come during the day, where there are many people going, I can't see the chaos, and at night it's all bonfires, so you can't go on a rampage and just go, right?" At this time, the place where Hua Hate Liu and the others were located was slightly higher than the direction of the king's tent that shook the clouds, and looking down from here, Hua Hate Liu could only see two things with all his eyes - tents, bonfires, and he was really annoyed when he looked at it, and couldn't help muttering.

"Mr. Hua, it's just that I'm not used to seeing him for the first time." After hearing this, Geerlong, who was wearing a white chess mask, responded: "We steppe people ourselves can go as we want, as long as we don't get close to the king's tent, as long as we don't break into other people's tents, the huge grassland, go casually." ”

"Well, after Ge Erlong said this, I also think that there are too many rules in the Central Plains, and this is the way to go, it has to be tamped, paved with sand and rigid, if you want to walk freely, it is obviously not as good as here in the grassland." Niu Wangqiu nodded in agreement with Geerlong's answer, looking at the dense tents and the sporadic fires at the moment, he really felt that he had returned to his youth, and he accompanied the Qingyang Maharaja outside at night to see the people sleeping peacefully.

"The Central Plains region is vast and densely populated, so in order to accommodate more people, it is natural to make good plans, where to build houses and where roads should be built, all in advance...... This side of the grassland is a veritable vast and sparsely populated area, and how many tribes are there with tens of thousands of people? Any state is a town, and there is also this number......" The saying that the flower hates the willow is naturally one of the aspects, Niu Wangqiu only smiled and said nothing after hearing it.

"However, there have been a few times when we grassland people have been resolute and have killed all the way to Queensland!" Compared with Niu Wangqiu, Ge Long is considered to be inexperienced, it is a fact that there are few people in the grassland, and it is also a fact that the Central Plains soldiers are weak, doesn't Niu Wangqiu know? At this time, Niu Wangqiu was silent, but let him Ge Erlong say it, that is, he had the mind of being a two-headed person and not offending each one.

Of course, it is not possible to agree with all the Central Plains people who are sick and weak and hate willows, but it can only be said that in some types of troops, the steppe people have natural advantages, such as cavalry. However, when it comes to attacking and defending the city, the grassland troops, which are five times that of the Central Plains, may not be able to bargain.

The so-called ruler is long, and the inch is short.

However, the grassland people do not have any "city" to attack and defend, so it has always given people the impression that the grassland people have been actively attacking, and the Central Plains people have been passively beaten.

It's not that the previous rulers didn't care about the threat of the grassland, in fact, in the history of the Central Plains Dynasty, there were still several expeditions to the Di people, but the final results could not be matched with the huge material and manpower investment. For the weaker, they pay a certain amount of money to the Di people every year, and they don't lose money if they buy a peaceful place. On the contrary, those dynasties that want to make a difference are often hardened to the end, gritting their teeth, losing money, and finally dragging themselves down, but benefiting others.

Not competing with the grassland people for the length of a day is a truth summed up between the succession of dynasties in the Central Plains for thousands of years.

Although Hua Hateliu also knew that what Ge Erlong said was reasonable, after all, he was from the Central Plains, and he must be unhappy when he heard people say that his hometown was not. However, what he thought was also simple: Fang Cai first said that other people's tents were not good to attract it, this is retribution! Thinking about it, Geerlong and Niu Wangqiu, who were silent, were also unhappy in their hearts. In this way, both sides are not happy, and it is considered to be flat.

"So how do we find it?" Now that they are connected, he no longer bothered to think about anything else, and asked Niu Wangqiu directly.

"Look......" Niu Wangqiu said, pointing to the tents and bonfires in the distance, "Although these tents look a little chaotic, they are actually strictly distinguished by rank, just like the 'Gong Sanwei Si' encountered along the way, it seems that they have no connection with the royal court when they appear there, but that is because they have not seen the overall situation clearly." If you look closely, can you see anything else right now? ”

"This ......" Hua Ha Liu frowned slightly, stared at the chaotic tents and dotted bonfires in the distance, and suddenly said after a while: "Are you saying that the closer to the tent in the middle, the bigger it is, the more powerful the people living in it?" ”

"Almost!" Niu Wangqiu nodded, and then pointed to a tent that looked obviously much bigger than his tent and said: "Look at this one, it's bigger than the others, and look at the bonfire nearby, there are many people who should be guarding it." ”

"Is that the king's tent that pulls the clouds?" Hua Hate Liu asked, and he clearly felt that when he asked this sentence, Geerlong's body on the side stiffened.

"I don't know." Niu Wangqiu shook his head: "It may or may not be" - Baiyun is a very timid person, after betraying the Qingyang Monarch, he never showed up in person, it is said that when he fights, he has to set up multiple royal tents in the army, some are empty tents, some are fake accounts, even his subordinates don't know where they are, only a few masters who follow him know. Speaking of this, Niu Wangqiu's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "Those masters at the beginning are the current 'Ten Black Team', although there should be some dead, but there should also be newcomers invited in." ”

"A black team of ten?" Hua Hate Liu didn't know why Niu Wangqiu valued these ten people so much, if I remember correctly, when he was in Dingdu City, he and Yang Jian killed that Zhengguan Zhengyin in seconds one by one...... The strength is nothing more than that, why ......

"In short, these people can't be underestimated, with the two of us at most one person fighting two, today's situation is special, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight one......" "Special situation" naturally refers to the need to protect Geerlong and Tian is not afraid of thoughtfulness.

"Let's go, let's see." Tian was not afraid that he had not spoken at this time, but stayed quietly to look at the bonfire in the distance, and at this time he spoke, and it was close to the time agreed with the lantern, and a few people nodded, and took advantage of the night to touch directly into the royal court.

It wasn't until I was in it that I realized that this kind of chaotic arrangement was not all beneficial, the most obvious point was that there was no need to beware of patrolling generals at all, everyone here was a soldier, so to speak, as long as they did not disturb those resting in the tents passing by, some small movements were still irrelevant.

There was no trace of tiredness in his eyes at this time. Just half an hour ago, she complained that the day had turned around and she was a little sleepy. It's just that after waiting for the lantern to pull her hand to paste the paper lantern, her original heavy sleep was squeezed out by this strong interest.

After another half an hour, two lanterns, one large and one small, were completed in the hands of the two of them.

"Can you fly? I've heard that the lanterns of the Central Plains can fly. As soon as he finished pasting, his wooden grid couldn't wait to ask the lantern.

"The lantern my sister is talking about is a kind of lantern called Kong Ming lantern, the kind of lantern that will slowly fly high after lighting the wick inside." Lantern explained: "In the earliest days, it was said that the Kong Ming lantern was used to transmit military information, which was similar to the beacon fire on our side, but because the beacon fire was not easy to see at night, it was replaced by the Kong Ming lantern. ”

"Oh, that's it!" Hearing that she couldn't fly, Qi Muge couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but this disappointment was only a flash, and she re-energized after only two breaths: "Next time teach me what kind of Kong Ming lantern to make, this time let's hang up the lantern we made!" ”

"Good!" The lantern laughed, and the two of them lit the lantern in their hands together, and then handed it to her Muge, who hung it.

"Where do you want to hang?" Qi Muge asked.

"Hang it on the bed, or on the top of the tent, so you can see it when you lie down." Lantern thought for a moment and said.

"This ...... Could it be that I accidentally lit it? Qi Muge asked with a little worry: "I heard that the houses of the Central Plains people are all stone, so naturally they are not afraid of burning, and we have all the things here that are easy to light up, in case ......."

"This ......," the lantern was slightly embarrassed, "can't it be hung outside?" We can't see it. ”

"I'm afraid that's all there is to it." Seeing the lantern's disappointed look, although its wooden lattice couldn't bear it, it seemed that it could only be hung outside in order to prevent the tent from being lit.

"Even if it's hanging outside, we'll have to turn off the lights for a while. It's windy at night on the grassland, and it's good to blow it out, but if it blows away, I don't know what will be lit, everyone's tents are not far away, and if one place catches fire, it will be too dangerous. While stretching out his hand to pull the lantern, the wooden lattice walked out of the tent, turned around, and finally thought of a good idea.

"You, you, all come here," seeing that there were two other guards at the door, Qi Muge called the two of them, and one of them handed them a lantern, and said, "Go, find a stick with a longer one, hang the lantern at one end and raise it high for us to see, and look at it for a while." ”

The two guards just wanted to have a rare opportunity to express themselves in front of the princess, and they were also eager to invite merit, so one of them found a pole more than two zhang high. The pole was as black as ink, as thick as a forearm, and its wooden lattice knew at a glance that the two men were afraid that they had torn off the original flag. But she didn't care, it was only for a while anyway, just go back and put the flag back.

"Put it up and see." commanded the two of them to hang the lantern and raise it, and his wooden grid was also in a good mood.

However, the happiest thing at this time was the lantern, she smiled happily on her face, and she kept laughing in her heart: how is it, it's high enough, right? When you see the lantern, come to me!
