The so-called "maritime alliance" in Tang Qianrou's mouth refers to the late Northern Song Dynasty, when the Song and Jin formed an alliance to attack the Liao State, that is, the Khitan military alliance. At that time, the two empires of Khitan and Dajin were in a fierce war, and the Northern Song Dynasty thought that this was an excellent opportunity, in order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty successively sent envoys to cross the sea from the Shandong Peninsula into the Jin Kingdom in the name of buying horses, and established contact with Wanyan Aguta.

The envoys of the Northern Song Dynasty saw the strong combat effectiveness of the Jin State with their own eyes, and believed that the Jin State would not necessarily sign an alliance with the Song Dynasty, but unexpectedly, Wanyan Aguta concluded an alliance with the Northern Song Dynasty, and asked the Northern Song Dynasty to be responsible for attacking Nanjing, that is, Yanjing, which was the Liao State at that time.

At the same time, the Jin State also agreed that the Northern Song Dynasty would recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but the Northern Song Dynasty must transfer the tribute to the Liao State to the Jin State.

But at that time, the Northern Song Dynasty was caught in the whirlpool of the peasant uprising in Fangla, and there was no way to draw out the vitality to complete the covenant, until two years later, Tong Guan led the army to attack Nanjing, the Liao State. However, Song Huizong, who had already accepted the surrender of the two states by the opposition of the former Jin State at that time, urged Tong Guan to storm Nanjing.

When Tong Guan led the army to attack the city of Nanjing, he did not expect that the remaining 20,000 Khitan troops fought back bravely, and defeated the 200,000 Northern Song Dynasty army to the point that they lost their armor and collapsed.

This incident made the Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Kingdom discover a fact that shocked him - the combat effectiveness of the army of the Northern Song Dynasty was so low!

After the first battle of Nanjing, he realized that the Northern Song Dynasty was no longer a threat, so he immediately led the army to attack Nanjing, defeated the remaining living forces of the Khitan, seized Nanjing, and finally only handed over the seven states east of Taihang Mountain to the Northern Song Dynasty, and forced the Northern Song Dynasty to promise that from now on, Yanjing's taxes should be paid to the Jin State, and after retreating, he also took away all the residents of Yanjing, and declared that the Northern Song Dynasty did not want them, because the Northern Song Dynasty only needed land, not the people.

Although the two countries later re-concluded a leap of mutual non-aggression, the Northern Song Dynasty also exposed its weaknesses and laid the root causes, and only later did the Jin Dynasty go south and capture the "Jingkang Shame" of Emperor Hui and Emperor Qin.

However, the Jin State, which had won too easily, did not have time to reasonably digest and use all the resources obtained, and under this premise, the iron cavalry of the Mongol army was already under the city.

Tang Qianrou didn't understand, why did the troops of the Northern Song Dynasty's guards appear in Dada Lake? Even historically, it was a marginal area of the Liao Kingdom.

Tang Qianrou recalled for a while and said: "After the fall of the Liao State, Yelu Dashi established the Western Liao, at that time entrenched in the Altai Mountains was a tribe called the Naiman Department, after the rise of Mongolia, this tribe was destroyed, and then defected to the Western Liao, but the prince of this tribe eventually led to the demise of the Western Liao, from the time and geographical point of view, how could the tribute troops of the Northern Song Dynasty appear here?" And if I'm not mistaken, at that time, the largest tribute army, the tribute money it brought, was given to the Jin country, and the Jin country was so far away from this place. ”

Tang Sirong said: "I said, there is only that one possibility, and don't forget, this is Dada Lake, maybe in those days, the geographical location here was not like this, and then it became a lake, you pay attention to the traces of excavation around, like digging something, not just digging and expanding the hole." ”

Tang Qianrou thought for a long time and blurted out: "Mom, will this still have something to do with Yelubei?" No, should it be said that it has a relationship with the descendants of Jelube? ”

Tang Sirong shook his head: "Judging from the information left by our family, we are very likely to be the descendants of Yelubei, that is to say, we should have been the descendants of the Cast Iron Immortal, who replaced Yelubei when the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed by the Khitan, and did a lot of things in his capacity, but we have not been able to connect everything in detail with the specific time." ”

Tang Qian said softly: "No, there is one person who knows everything that happened to Yelubei later. ”

Tang Sirong said: "You mean Xingrenju?" ”

Tang Qianrou nodded: "Yes, if he didn't know, it would be impossible for him to hide all the clues in the ruins related to Yelubei, that is, the Cast Iron Immortal, but therefore, I can almost conclude that we are getting closer and closer to Qimen." ”

As soon as the two were talking, Gulal suddenly ran out of the cave, with a shocked expression, pointed to the cave and said, "Inside, there's a ship inside!" ”

Tang Qianrou and Tang Sirong were shocked, and immediately followed Gulal towards the depths of the cave, and after running into the cave, the two found that the entire cave was amazingly large, not to mention loading a ship, even if it was not a problem to put down an aircraft carrier.

Gulal led the two to the highest rock, when Tang Qianrou and Tang Sirong stood on the rock, looking towards the deep terrain of the cave, Gulal also took out a flare gun and fired a flare, when the flare took off with a small parachute and slowly fell to illuminate the below, the two clearly saw that there was a huge ancient ship leaning in the cave below, and the hull of the ship seemed to have been connected with the rock next to it.

"It's Song Chuan!" After Tang Qianrou glanced at it, she said firmly, "It must be Song Chuan!" ”

Tang Sirong sat slumped on the ground, but with a smile: "Not only the Song ship, but also the largest Song ship found so far, which is bigger than the Nanhai No. 1!" ”

Tang Qianrou shook her head: "Nanhai No. 1 is the ship of the Southern Song Dynasty, this one should be from the Northern Song Dynasty in terms of time, don't forget, the shipping in the Northern Song Dynasty was also quite developed, during the Song Huizong period, the deputy envoy of Jianghuai Shipping in order to echo Cai Jing to please the faint monarch, he built more than 20,000 ships, which greatly exceeded the quota of ships set by the Northern Song Dynasty officials at that time, but I have never seen such a large ship in the information." ”

Tang Sirong said with a smile: "When did what our ancestors did leave a real record?" ”

"yes, I didn't stay." Tang Qianrou shook her head, "But visually this ship is at least more than fifty meters long, with a displacement of at least about 800 tons and a load of at least 1,000 tons, how can such a ship appear in a cave at the bottom of a lake in the grassland?" There is no waterway to allow this ship to sail all the way from the Central Plains, it is too weird. ”

Tang Sirong took off her clothes and slid down the slope next to her, ignoring Tang Qianrou's shouts, and couldn't wait to run towards the weird Song boat.

Gulal, who was still standing on the top of the rock, originally chased down, after all, he received the money, and his job was to protect the safety of his employer, but at this time, he felt a sense of unease in his heart, and there was no excitement at all from Tang Sirong and Tang Qianrou's mother and daughter.

Victor climbed the rock, stood beside Gural and looked down, then looked at Gural and whispered, "Boss, I have a bad premonition. ”

Gulal nodded slightly: "I ...... too"

……

At the same time, Torrei and the messenger led Lian Jiuqi and the others to the place where the snowstorm had struck that night, and when they looked at the grassland full of devastation, like a great battle, they couldn't imagine what it would be like when the snowstorm hit.

The five of them rode around the potholes in the ground, looking for possible traces of the survey team.

After searching for a long time, the messenger finally raised his hand and pointed to an overturned off-road lane in the distance: "There is a car there, it is quite complete, there should be a clue." ”

Although Lian Jiuqi couldn't understand what the messenger was saying, after he saw the car, he immediately patted his horse and rushed up, and after coming to the car, the five of them dismounted, and Lian Jiuqi immediately got into the car, rummaging through the things left in the car, and prayed that he could find clues that might be left behind by the torture.

The five of them performed their duties, looking inside and outside the car, and after looking for a while, Mo Duqiao got up and affirmed: "The people in the car are still alive, and they should have left safely, there are almost nothing useful left in the car, it seems that they were all taken away before leaving, and being able to take these things proves that at least one of them is sober, and only those who are sober know that they must take the only equipment." ”

The messenger looked around a little further away from the car, leaning over to pick up the debris and observe, then shook his head and looked at the sky, lamenting the fear that nature had brought to the world.

"Torture is in this car!" Zheng Cangqiong said suddenly, waiting for Lian Jiuqi and Mo Duqiao to turn their heads to look at him, he raised the wooden palm made of Tianxiang wood in his hand, which was the symbol of the criminal art chaser, which was given to him by Zheng Cangqiong back then.

Lian Jiuqi took the palm, wiped it, and squeezed it tightly in his hand: "Master, it seems that the torture technique is still alive." ”

"I'm definitely alive, but I'm definitely unconscious when I'm rescued." Zheng Cangqiong looked at the Tianxiangmu palm in Lian Jiuqi's hand, "Because he will carry this thing with him, after encountering this kind of thing, if he stays awake, he will definitely see if this palm is still in his pocket as soon as possible." ”

Mo Duqiao looked around: "They shouldn't have left on their own, but who could have saved them?" ”

At this time, Torree, who had not spoken, spoke: "It should be the people of the Ural Khan tribe who saved them, that is, my tribe. ”

Lian Jiuqi immediately asked, "How do you know?" ”

Torrei raised his hand and pointed to the messy horseshoe prints on the grass next to him: "The horseshoe prints are divided into three circles, and they are not messy, they must be the people of the 'wolf head' of the tribe, only the horses they ride will leave this kind of mark, and the horseshoe prints are very deep, because they are responsible for the security of the perimeter of the tribal camp, unless there is an emergency, they generally rarely return to the tribe, so they will carry a lot of things with them, so the horses they ride will leave a deep mark." ”

Mo Duqiao nodded: "It seems that they are heavy cavalry?" ”

"Nope." Torrei shook his head, "There is no distinction between light and heavy cavalry in the Ural Khan tribe, once something happens, whether it is a man or a woman, young or old, they are all warriors. ”

Zheng Cangqiong asked: "So, your tribe should not be too far from here, can you take us there immediately?" ”

Torlie hesitated for a moment, but did not directly answer Zheng Cangqiong's question: "The tribe usually stays and camps in places where there are rivers or lakes, unless the grass is fertile and the water is beautiful, and the time they usually live will not exceed half a month, and they have been wandering for safety. ”

Zheng Cangqiong didn't understand what Torlie meant, so he had to look at Lian Jiuqi.

Lian Jiuqi asked: "Torlie, I must find my son, you also saw it, my son must have been taken away by the people of your tribe." ”

Torret was very embarrassed: "I swore that I would never go back, and once I returned, I would take you, my father and the elders of the tribe with me, knowing that I had not only left the prescribed area, but also broken my oath to know more foreigners. ”

Lian Jiuqi thought for a while, and then said: "That's it, you point out a general direction, we'll look for it ourselves, you don't have to go, okay?" ”

Mo Duqiao immediately chimed in: "We will definitely not tell you then, you can rest assured." ”

Torret thought for a while, pointed to the south and said: "You go all the way along the south, follow the horseshoe prints to find, and when the horseshoe prints disappear, you will stop and look for the water source, after finding the water source, you will definitely find that a large number of horseshoe prints have reappeared, you must not follow the horse's hoof prints to find, but go in the opposite direction, and you can see the tribe after riding a horse for half a day." ”

Lian Jiuqi nodded, pressed Torlie's shoulder and said, "Thank you, brother." ”

Torlie nodded, hugged Xia Lian Jiuqi, and then hugged Mo Duqiao and Zheng Cangqiong respectively, and watched the three of them ride away.

After the three of them were gone, the messenger came to Torre's side and said worriedly: "If you don't go, they will be unlucky......

Torrei stood there for a long time before he said, "If I go, they will also be unlucky, and what will happen next depends on their luck." ”

……

When he saw Chen Taidong and the dwarf again, he had completely lost the concept of time, he had been in a trance for a long time, and the reason why his watches and other items were taken away did not know how long he had lived here, and what day of the month it was, and he didn't know the specific time at this moment, he could only judge that it was late at night from the beast chirping from time to time on the grassland.

It was also under Ma Fei's efforts to negotiate with Chen Taidong and the dwarf, at first the people in the tribe completely refused the request of the torture technique, until Ma Fei appeared and negotiated with them with gestures for a long time, and they reluctantly brought the "protected" Chen Taidong and the dwarf to the tent where the torture was located.

The torture technique leaned against the wooden pillar in the middle of the tent, looking at Chen Taidong who was holding his chest, and the dwarf who was only eating and drinking beside him.

Chen Taidong and Ma Fei also didn't understand why this dwarf had such a good appetite at this time, as if they hadn't eaten since they were born in their lives.

"Uncle Chen, how is your injury?" As he inquired, he looked towards the tent door, and he knew that there were people guarding it, and there was more than one.

Chen Taidong clutched his chest: "When I woke up, I felt as if my ribs were broken, and after applying their herbs for two days, it was much better, it was amazing." ”

"That's bone meal with herbs." The dwarf raised his eyes to look at Chen Taidong and said in fluent Chinese, "However, don't expect to get that kind of formula, it's impossible, and this medicine is very precious, even if their own people in their tribe are seriously injured, they won't necessarily take it out for treatment." ”

Chen Taidong hurriedly asked, "Then why do you want to heal us?" ”

Maffei also asked, "Is it because we survived the snow storm?" ”

The gnome put down the snow-white sheep bones and showed the black pointed teeth: "Don't think of yourself as holy, in their eyes, you are just a sacrifice to the gods of nature. ”

The torture technique didn't ask any further, but just said, "You're Angu, right?" ”

Angu glanced at the torture technique, and grabbed a mutton bone full of meat: "Of course! The name Angu is only available to me, and it is impossible to find a second Angu in this grassland! ”

Xingshu glanced at Chen Taidong, who shook his head slightly at him, motioning for him to continue with the previous question.

The torturer asked, "Are you a vulgar of the Golden Eagle Tribe?" From the fact that you know this tribe so well, it seems that there should be some kind of connection between the Golden Eagle tribe and this tribe? ”

"Vulgar is just a good name, to put it bluntly, I am a traitor to the Golden Eagle Tribe." Angu grinned, then raised his hand to tear out the sandwiched mutton from between his teeth, and stuffed it back into his mouth to chew, "It's all at this time, I don't need to sell Guanzi anymore, I'll tell you the truth, when the injury is healed, we all have to die, except for this woman, what is your name?" Maffei, right? ”

Ma Fei frowned: "Why?" ”

Angu gnawed on the meat for a while, and then wiped his hand back and forth on the tattered clothes: "This tribe is called Ural Khan, which means the wolf herding tribe, worshipping the god of nature, different from the Golden Eagle tribe, the Golden Eagle tribe worships the mountain god, that is, the mountain god of the Four Seasons Mountain you plan to go to, these two tribes are old enemies, as for why they are old enemies, I also left the tribe to find new knowledge, and I pieced it together from various documents." ”

Chen Taidong immediately said: "Don't go so far, I just want to know, why did they kill us after we were injured?" ”

"It's not like killing us, they won't do it to us." Angu yawned, "This tribe worships the gods of nature, believing that the snow storm is caused by the wrath of the god of nature, and to appease the anger, sacrifices must be offered, of course, if we all die in the snow storm, or are not found and rescued by them, they will think that we have been accepted by the gods of nature, and conversely, if we are still alive and captured by them, they have the responsibility to save us, and when we have recovered from our injuries, they will send our surviving sacrifices back into the snow storm!" ”

Angu's words made Xingshu and the others shudder, and Xingshu thought for a while and asked, "In other words, even if we are sent in again or not dead, they will send us into a snowstorm again?" ”

"I don't know!" Angu shook his head, "Because no one can escape the snowstorm a second time, that's impossible, and the first time we can dodge, it's all because of the sturdy car we were sitting in, and the shit luck that fell from the sky." ”

Maffei asked again, "Then why don't you send me in?" ”

Angu smiled, and laughed obscenely: "You think you can hide?" You don't have to die, but the next few days are guaranteed to make you more uncomfortable than death, not to mention that you are so beautiful. ”

Ma Fei was shocked, she already had a terrible answer in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, and she didn't dare to ask again, and after looking at her, the torture technique asked in a deep voice: "What are they going to do with Ma Fei?" ”

Angu picked up a bowl of mare's milk wine and drank it slowly, and said at the same time: "In their tradition, if there is a woman who has escaped a snowstorm, then this woman must be a goddess given to them by the gods of nature to reproduce, and under normal circumstances, they will marry the son of the leader of this tribe, almost a prince, so it's okay, at least a person who is not too old, but as far as I know, the current prince of the Ural Khan, like me, has become a layman, so, according to the rules, you have to marry the chief, That's the old man you saw! ”

After Angu finished speaking, Ma Fei was completely stupid, and subconsciously got up, and his first reaction was to leave here immediately, while the torture technique grabbed her wrist and comforted: "Don't be afraid, with me, it will definitely be fine." ”

"With you?" Angu smiled, "What are you?" Find any warrior in this tribe and you'll be beaten to meat sauce with a fist! Don't be a hero! If you die in a snowstorm, you will at least have some dignity, and if you die under someone's fist, they will tear you apart and trample you with horses! ”
