But he still had a lot of tasks to do, and it was impossible for him to stay with Manas for a long time. Well, Ingisha must go, and maybe he can take his swordsmith mission one step further. As for the rest of the time, just find two more masters for Manas to teach him together! Ajibayi and Kunshan stone are all available! Having made up his mind, the baron bowed to the princess and nodded to Norouz: "I support your idea. Also, I would like to find a few more teachers for this child. His profound knowledge will enhance his future leadership skills! I can teach him marksmanship myself. What about you? ”

Norouzi's specialty is riding and poison, of course, he can't say in front of the child's mother that he wants to teach other people's children to play with poison, so he has to say: "My riding skills can be said to be one in a thousand!" ”

"I also have two troubadour followers. Coincidentally, one of them is literate and the other is illiterate. In addition to imparting historical knowledge, the literate could also teach Manas archery; Those who are illiterate can teach him how to deal with shepherds and farmers. ”

Seeing that the baron had found two teachers for Manas at once, Noruz hurriedly introduced one: "Baishan Buick is very good at taking care of livestock, and he can teach Manas to herd and treat common livestock diseases." ”

There are five teachers, in addition to the introduction of the baron himself must be trustworthy, even the Baishan Buick found by Norouzi has already confirmed that he is a person who has been loyal to the princess. The princess was very satisfied: "Yes." Please be sure of the teacher's character - I would rather the child be an incompetent mediocrity than a misbehaving person in a high position! Alas, I'm tired. For the sake of this child's health, I have to make sure to get enough rest! ”

Nuorouzi's purpose has not yet been achieved, so he hurriedly lowered his head and stroked his chest: "Honorable princess, at present, my team still lacks real warriors, can your guard allocate me a few as a framework for future development?" ”

The princess glanced at the baron meaningfully: "Yes! I'll give you two teams of ten. It just so happened that the people of Calmak could also be confessed, saying that they died in battle with the Kalmak soldiers stationed at the Yuqi Pagoda Stone! The soldiers are under your leadership, and the royal flag is still handed over to the baron! Your task is to lead the Kyrgyz people to grow and teach Manas in second place. The third is to cultivate enough strength! I hope you can unite and help each other and discuss more things! ”

Seeing that Nuorouzi's face was not in danger, the baron took the royal flag again: "Leave the development to me, and you go to war!" It's not that I'm bragging, I'm in my distant hometown, but I'm famous for Bayi. And my gold coins are all earned by my own efforts, which is not only legal, but also drives many villagers in the vicinity to embark on the road of common prosperity! ”

"Speaking of gold coins...... Norouzi looked at the princess, "there is also a big gap in this regard." The Khan is known for his wealth, but I think that on the one hand, the Khan needs to take care of his people, and on the other hand, the wealth you can use is very limited. Therefore, in addition to your financial support, we also want to confiscate the property of several Bayi lords who are in collusion with the people of Calmaq. Yuqi Pagoda Stone, currently respected by you, this matter must be approved by you! ”

The princess frowned: "I can understand this." Moreover, it is not reasonable for the rebels to enter the Yuqi Pagoda Stone and not rob a few rich people. I support you in raiding some of the rich people who have taken the initiative to make peace with the Kalmaks, the notorious Bayi who have always been fond of oppressing the poor. But other than that, don't harass those who rely on hard work and wisdom to get riches...... You can go and hide your eyes! ”

Nuorouzi bowed his head: "I understand!" My people will try to make the jade tower stone shed a few drops of blood. ”

Raiding is not an easy task, especially for insurgents who still want to leave a good name. The richest person in Yuqi Tashi is undoubtedly Gakpu Khan, and this cannot be robbed. The other four richest Bayi have also met with everyone: Master Guzi has completely surrendered and expressed his willingness to hand over all his property to the rebels, and the only demand is to ensure the safety of his entire family. In order to show the magnanimity of the insurgents, Norouz has made a promise to leave at least a considerable amount of gold to Guzi's family, so that he can easily 'restart' his business. He didn't expect that this lord, who was famous all over the grassland, would only take out a few thousand gold coins after removing the 'real estate' of several hotels and restaurants! As for Helik, who had the most cattle and sheep, the beginning of spring was the season when the gold coins could not make ends meet, and he had just hired a large number of men to shear the wool of his flock, and paid a great deal of gold for it, and now he could not get anything better than the wool that he had not yet sold. It is true that Daleli Khan can pan for gold, but the only way to pan for gold is to go into the mountains after the beginning of spring to find an opportunity - the gold he obtained last year is sent to Altay for refining in the winter, so that it can be sold at the best price, so it is not possible to produce a quantity that satisfies the insurgents at present. Among them, the two wealthy men, Helik and Dareli Khan, were still 'well-known' people, and the rebels had to protect their wealth.

The situation of Tashi Bayi, the richest of the Bayi, is even more special: this cunning Bayi, who had just woken up from the shock of the destruction of the Kalemak people, immediately sent his two sons and a large amount of condolence supplies into the team of Noruz: "My lords, the problem that can be solved with gold coins has never been a problem. If you can't solve the problem with gold, let my son solve it with you! You see, these are my two sons: the eldest son, Kur, is a tall and strong man who is a well-known hunter in the region; The youngest son, Kurban, won first place in the steppe horse race just last year. They are all men who can fight with a sword! They are also literate and can write and count. Please allow them to follow you and become the eagle soaring over the grassland soon! ”

Norrouzi has just accepted more than 50 homeless and unemployed Lifu as his own soldiers, and the number of people who can fight under his command is close to 100, and he is planning to build a camp of 100 people alone, and he is very lacking in all kinds of materials for forming an army and a low-level officer at the level of ten people, and he is still faintly worried about the low wisdom of these Lifu warriors and the limited development of combat potential.

Norouzi didn't know this Bayi, who had a hot fight with the Kalemak people, and it happened that Baishan Buick was not there and Ajibayi was busy. He unceremoniously accepted everything Tashibayi had sent.

With two sons 'joining' the insurgents, Tashibayi's property has become difficult to confiscate.

When Noruz found out about the situation of these Bayi, he felt like swallowing two flies when Tashibayi's two sons joined the uprising, and he looked at them unpleasantly. Before he could pick out the thorns of the two men, they secretly fled from the camp of the rebels with their father and the most valuable treasures and title deeds in the family.

Norrouzi sent people to pursue to no avail, and surrounded the mansion compound of Tashibayi in a rage, wanting to slaughter the relatives left behind by Guzibayi, but was stopped by the baron who rushed to the scene after hearing the news: "Just raid the house, there is no need to slaughter these women and children in the absence of the culprit!" ”

Norouzi held his breath and did not kill anyone, and asked his subordinates to loot the supplies that Tashibayi's house could use.

Tashi Bayi's escape made the atmosphere of Yuqi Tashi suddenly tense. Many of the arrangements of the adventurer, Norouz, and the princess have become useless.

Feeling that it was necessary to synthesize the current state of the Yuqi Pagoda Stone in order to determine the next move, Baron Twilight summoned Norrouz, Baishan Buick, Ayilula, Kunshan Shi, and his own adventurers: "We need to summarize the current situation and ensure that the person in charge has information from all sides, and that something he does not know will affect his future actions. Make sure that the Aborigines and adventurers take the same attitude and approach to their enemies and friends, and avoid any uncertainties that arise from this! ”

Many epic heroes possess fiery enthusiasm, indomitable determination, and the confidence that ignites their comrades, but most of them are also gullible. Such a quality is very conducive to uniting their subordinates to forge ahead, and at the same time planting evil causes for their future failures. Norouzi is no exception. The escape of Tashibayi not only missed an opportunity for the insurgents to gain a large amount of wealth, but also made the next move of the army a definite variable. Norouz immediately admitted his mistake: "I thought he was a Kyrgyz after all. I have seen many Kyrgyz people who have given up their wealth for the sake of their tribe. It's my fault! ”

"It's your mistake." The baron was also merciless in his criticism of the legendary hero: "It seems to me that we can be friends with the Kyrgyz or the Kalemak, whether the natives or the adventurers." But you first have to see if he is an upright, honest, and trustworthy person. Correcting your mistakes is a matter for the future! The key now is to determine how much information Tashibayi knows about the rebel forces. We're going to combine this information to revise our next move! Let me start with it, all the adventurers who know about the princess's pregnancy are here! Among them, Ajibayi and Pamir Eagle know our next approximate plan of action. I have asked them and made sure that they did not divulge the plan of action of the insurgents to anyone. ”

Norouzi glanced at the baron, "I will punish myself at the right opportunity." On the aboriginal side, the people who know about the princess's pregnancy are me, Baishan Buick, Ayilula, and Aida. Among them, Aida is currently in the cottage. There are a lot of people who know our next march plan - the brothers who have fought in the Weeping Land basically know! It's just that some people know more, and some people know less! ”

"May I think that your men know your next march?" ”

"That's true! We can even say that Tashibay knew all of our marching plans. But I can guarantee that no one has said much about the princess's pregnancy! After Nuorouzi finished speaking, he began to use his eyes to identify several subordinates: Baishan Buick and Ayilula all nodded affirmatively. Ayilullah also had a few words to say for Aida: "My wife is a pregnant woman, and of course she can't come into contact with the people of Kalemak!" ”

Baishan Buick hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it: "And Kunshan Shi also knows about it!" ”

Nuorouzi directly denied: "It is impossible for Kunshan Shi and Poker to say this!" They are followers of the oath, and betrayal is punished by God! ”

The baron laughed: "Kunshan Shi is more cunning than everyone here; Poker could have been tricked into telling everything he knew, but he didn't know about it yet. These two people can rest assured! Okay, now we just need to make sure that no one leaks on the princess's side, and we can rework our next move. Everyone wait here, don't move, I'll come when I go! ”

Norouzi felt that the adventurers were all looking at the baron with strange eyes, some were stunned, some were contemptuous, and some directly gave a middle finger gesture and said a strange sentence: "You'd better not be hit by a train!" ”

The baron brought back two pieces of news: "Malan has been given death by the princess. There were no more than five people in the palace who knew that the princess was pregnant, and all of them were trusted by the princess. There is also news that the princess wants us to change our plans. ”

The princess wants to change her plans? One sentence is enough to prove that the princess attaches great importance to Tashibayi's escape.

Norouzi felt a heavy pressure: "Baron, what do you think?" ”

I'm not Yuan Fang! This can only be done, not said!

That night, Norrouz's hundred-man team attacked the Yuqi Tashi Palace and robbed a large amount of wealth. In order to protect the princess, the palace guards did not dare to fight and withdrew directly.

In this battle, because of the timely evacuation of the guards, there were basically no casualties, but Tashibayi's home was looted and set on fire by the rebels again, and it became dilapidated from the original empty and desolate.

After dawn, the rebels, who had become bandits, found that the streets were full of hateful eyes, and did not dare to be nostalgic, and began to evacuate with a large number of looted belongings. They also took away several pregnant women from the town and the family of Guzi Lao. One of the paupers, one of the paupers, left two letters to Helik and Daleli Khan and quietly left.

The two remaining Bayi took over the management of the Yuqi Pagoda. They posted a list to inform the inhabitants that the princess had left Yuqi Tashi under the protection of the guards to find Gakpu Khan, and that she would ask the Khan to lead the soldiers back to quell the rebellion, and asked everyone to keep going of their old lives. The princess made it clear that everything in the abandoned palace could be used by everyone to rebuild their homes.

The king of Han is still there, and so is the army of the king of Khan. The lives of the inhabitants of Yuqi Tashi are just like a stone thrown on the surface of a lake, and calm is quickly restored after the ripples. Under the ripples, people secretly inquired about the princess and gathered information about the rebels, hoping to deal a fatal blow to these bandits who did not know the height of the sky after the arrival of the Khan's army. They waited for half a month before they waited for two centurians of Calmaq soldiers—not what everyone wanted to see.

Daleli Khan and Helik took out sheep wine and belongings to comfort these distant jackals, and at the same time reported the information of the bandits collected by everyone in detail to the two centenarians: "Two adults, this is all we know, and I hope you can eliminate these bandits as soon as possible." I wonder if the two adults have any news of Princess Gakpu Khan? ”

A hundred-man commander poured a big mouth into Kemozi: "Kunur Khan received the secret report from Tashibayi and immediately sent us to quell the chaos. We have not received an order to find the princess. We rushed to the Yuqi Pagoda Stone without leaving the saddle and non-stop, and we needed to repair it for a few days before we could continue on the road. ”

Another hundred people squinted his eyes: "Gakpu has two instructions for us. The first is to ensure the safety of the princess. This is contrary to our current task, so we can only rely on luck and deal with the problems we can encounter. It is now time to take advantage of the time to carry out a general screening, with a focus on bandits and pregnant women. We will also piggyback on the news of the princess. The second is that let us try not to cause disturbance to the military and civilians of Yuqi Pagoda. I have made a promise to Ghakep Khan that I will not make a noise about burning and looting at the Yuqi Pagoda Stone - I hope you will also maintain enough respect for the Khan's army not to try to provoke them. ”

The truth that bandits are like combs and soldiers are like grates, Gakpu Khan naturally knows. In order to get the promise of this hundred-man leader, I don't know how many gold coins this Khan King took out under the fence! Daleli Khan could only pinch his nose and promise a blank promise: "Two adults, the reputation of villains panning for gold, you must have heard of it." It's just that spring has just started now, and the villain doesn't have a grain of golden sand in his hand! As long as the two of you can ensure the safety of the Yuqi Pagoda Stone, when the two adults return to Zhaosu, I will give the two adults more than eight taels of gold! ”

"Hmph, Han people like to say perfect! When did the Kyrgyz people like the number eight? ”

Daleli Khan saw Han on his forehead: "Two adults, the villain mined a total of twenty-two taels of sand gold last year, and it will not exceed twenty taels after refining, and a little will be left for this year's gold panning......"

Helik knew that he couldn't run away, so he hurriedly stepped forward: "It's all for the two adults!" The cost of your gold panning this year, when I sell the wool, I will give it to you! ”

Your wool? No matter how valuable your wool is, it will only earn a few taels of gold in a year, and with your mutton and sheepskin throughout the year, you can only take out ten taels of gold at most! My loss can be more than twenty taels! Daleli Khan didn't dare to get angry at the two hundreds, and looked at Helik, and the green tendons on his head jumped out!

Wool is also a good thing, but it's not easy to carry, so don't want it. The 100 elders looked at each other and smiled: "Forget it! Who told us to be entrusted by Jakpu Khan? And so it was decided! Our men will camp in the palace and will not leave the palace for the duration of their stay! As soon as you can find out the whereabouts of the bandits, we will immediately set out to eradicate this scourge for you! ”

Didn't you just tell you the news of the woe? Helik had just been clever and confused again.

Daleli Khan hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't disturb the rest of the two adults!" We're going to find out about the bandits. ”

After leaving the palace, Daleli Khan explained to Helik: "Don't you understand? The task of these people is to eliminate bandits and search for pregnant women! The news of the princess can only rely on ourselves! ”

"But they already know where the bandits are!"

"There's also a search for pregnant women! These guys, who are more ruthless than bandits, need to rest for two days before they can start their operations. We also have two things that we can't afford to delay! ”

"Oh, tell me what's going on?"

"The first is to collect news about pregnant women. It's simple, let's pretend to check it out, and then tell them that the pregnant women have followed the bandits. The second is that you have to sell your wool as soon as possible, and the season of panning for gold in the mountains is coming soon! I'm telling you, if I don't have any gold panning income this year, my whole family will move to your house, eat and drink yours! ”

"No problem, as long as your sister moves in with you!"

"If you die, my whole family will come with knives! Would you like to try it? ”

The direction in which the bandits fled was the small town of Ingisha. This is consistent with the news that Tashibayi reported to Kunur Khan. The two centenarians didn't care: these men would march slowly with a large amount of goods and dozens of pregnant women. They can't escape. However, whether there are other pregnant women hiding in the Yuqi Pagoda Stone, it is still necessary to investigate according to the order of the King of Khan. The composition of the bandits should also be clarified. As for how they were able to kill the Khan's two hundred-man team with a few miscellaneous soldiers, Tashibayi also told Kunur Khan the truth. Therefore, your team must carry enough food and grass to move.

In fact, the reason why these two hundred-man teams were stationed in the palace was that in addition to the fact that the princess had fled, and there were only three or two servants guarding the palace, which was very empty, it was also because there were many gilt and silver decorations in the palace. Eradicating and collecting these things, even if it takes days, is enough to offset all the costs of this march.

The poor princess had already greeted the inhabitants and allowed them to take all the things available in the palace, with the aim of getting the natives to come and make up for the loss of the war money, but the inhabitants, out of respect for the princess, did not take any action, and cheapened the wolf cubs of the Kalemak for nothing.

There was no news of any pregnant woman. The Captain of the Kalmak Hundred knew this: the pregnant women had run away with the bandits. In Ingisha, the bandits sold the goods they had looted from the Yuqi Pagoda Stone and bought horses, vehicles, and other transportation materials. It's better this way, just kill all their people and rob them of their money when the time comes. Everything went according to the minds of the 100 Chiefs - that is, the subordinates were too slow to loot the palace property, and many people tried to hide their secrets, which caused a lot of headaches for the two 100 Chiefs: these bold guys are each other's henchmen, it is not difficult to clean them up, and it is difficult to grasp the loss of face between each other! On the fourth day, twenty days had passed since the Yuqi Pagoda Stone Rebellion, and the bandits in Ingisha had been put in order and began to set out for Jiangles. The Calmaks could not sit still, they could not wait for the bandits to retreat into the mountains before they began to pursue. One of the two centennial commanders sent a ten-man commander to lead five people, and they all formed a team of twelve people to start transporting the looted goods to Zhaosu, and the others set off for Jiangles with enough dry food. This locust-like army finally left the Yuqi Pagoda Stone.
