Chapter 52: Wolf Juxu Mountain
Chapter 52 Wolf Juxu Mountain
Arshan, Mongolian means sacred spring, legend has it that Genghis Khan once lost a battle, was injured and came here, and then soaked in the hot springs on the mountain here, his injuries healed, and finally Genghis Khan named this place Arshan, meaning holy spring.
Of course, legends are legends, but Arshan's beauty is undeniable, with vast birch forests, thriving primeval forests, and vast green farms just like Australian farms.
After crossing Arshan, they found the tour guide who received them here, and there was a travel agency that contacted the Outer Mongolian side, and they could go to Outer Mongolia through the port.
Documents or anything is not a problem, these travel agencies are responsible, Qin Mubai only needs to drive to Outer Mongolia, crossing the border of Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia is even more desolate.
There are still people in the part near the border crossing, but if you go inside, not to mention the people, there are no roads. Unlike Inner Mongolia, which is well built, and almost all places leading to herders have asphalt roads and township roads, the roads in Inner Mongolia are made of countless ruts.
Even the middle of the ruts was grass, nothing else, and their convoy was driving here.
The two cars in front are local cars, they go all the way, do not stop in the middle, unlike Inner Mongolia, which is sparsely populated, and the population of the entire Outer Mongolia is now more than two million people, and it is still decreasing.
Because the ordinary herdsmen here are too poor, just like when they went out independently, the rich are those princes and nobles, as for the ordinary herdsmen, the standard of living is estimated to be comparable to the rural areas in the 70s in China, or even not comparable.
This is not an exaggeration at all.
In fact, among the ordinary poor people in Outer Mongolia, there are many calls for returning to China, regardless of whether the top government agrees or not, it is said that the current China may not be willing.
Because this is a burden, and the other is that after the return, the border with Russia is too long, and the border of tens of thousands of kilometers is too complicated.
A buffer zone is needed, but of course, according to the current situation in Outer Mongolia, the population is decreasing, the desertification is becoming more and more serious, and the survival of herders is becoming more and more difficult.
So even if they want to return, the country may not agree, the reason is very simple, just continue like this, it's like a piece of meat in the mouth, you can't run.
Wouldn't it be better for you to be free to develop and not to burden me?
Of course, this is Qin Mubai's speculation, which has nothing to do with his trip this time.
Qin Mubai didn't know where the wolf Juxu Mountain was, Huo Qubing might know, but he didn't say it, but as the itinerary continued to advance, Huo Qubing stopped and watched this grassland for longer and longer.
There is already a desert ahead, and this desert to the south, in ancient times, was called the desert south grassland, and to the north is the desert north grassland.
And now the desertification is getting worse, and only a dilapidated road connects to the road to Ulaanbaatar, and when a mountain peak appears in front of him, Huo Quzhi shouted to stop.
"That's it. There's no need to move forward. Huo Quzhi said, his mood was a little wrong, and everyone didn't speak.
Huo Qubing took Qin Mubai and Zhao Ponu to climb this mountain, it was not the highest one, it was an endless mountain range, and they only climbed the outermost one.
There is nothing on the peak, only a barren area, the other Mongolian guides are left below, they can't understand what this bare mountain is to see, in fact, Ulaanbaatar is not bad as the capital, but other places are average, and here, there is nothing around, some are just barren.
"This was once the territory of the Huns, and they were very powerful. Huo Quzhi said, he didn't know who he was talking to, anyway, there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
But soon, he took out the wine that Qin Mubai bought and opened it, poured the liquor into the wine cup, Huo Quzhi first sprinkled three glasses on the ground, and then finally picked up a glass and knelt directly on one knee, and Zhao Ponu in the back also knelt on one knee.
Qin Mubai hesitated, did not follow them, but took a dozen steps back.
"Minister! The Han Hussar General Huo Quai! I would like to tell my Majesty the Han Dynasty that although the minister Huo Qubing could not fight for His Majesty in the four seas, but the ministers had already expanded the territory for His Majesty and attacked the Huns thousands of miles away. ”
After finishing speaking, Huo Quzhi drank all the liquor in his hand, and then kowtowed three times and stood up, as did Zhao Ponu in the back.
After doing all this, Huo Quzhi walked over with a smile and said, "Let's go, my affairs have been dealt with, we can go back." ”
"Good. Qin Mubai nodded, there were some things he couldn't understand, but he couldn't understand it, but he respected it very much.
Huo Qu's life is the life of Rong Ma's career, although his life is very short, but his merits are undoubted, and Huo Qu's illness can be said to be given by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at that time, without the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there is absolutely no Huo Qu's disease.
You must know that Huo Quzhi is an illegitimate child, and even his father does not dare to recognize him, although he has a good uncle and a good aunt, but this is still inseparable from Emperor Wu of Han's trust in him, and he has not forgotten this trust.
Down the mountain, the Mongolian tour guide was a little confused, this is going back here? But the guest is God, not to mention, it has been said before, so they don't have any meaning, I don't know who gave the money, but obviously it is very sufficient, otherwise Tian Gang would not be able to give himself such a high treatment.
Two days later, the car quickly returned to China, after passing the port, the domestic tour guide work was fine, and there were three people left, after stopping in a no-man's corner, Huo Quzhi and Zhao Ponu got off directly.
"Brother Qin, although you and I have only been together for more than ten days, but the great grace is not grateful, I will remember the illness in my heart, I have nothing to give, this sword has been fighting on the battlefield with me for many years, please accept it. Huo Quzhi didn't know where to pull out a long sword, the length of the sword body was about one meter, the hilt was very simple, there were not so many patterns, there were unknown animal skins wrapped around it, and there were many bird and beast patterns on the scabbard.
The whole body is light green, it looks like a bronze sword, and Qin Mubai doesn't know what the specific material is, but this thing, since it was worn by Huo Quzhi, this definitely can't be an ordinary sword, this must be the most elite sword of the Han Dynasty at that time.
"Thank you, General Huo!" After hesitating, Qin Mubai did not refuse, stretched out his hands to take it, and then bowed to Huo Quzhi very seriously.
Not to mention anything else, just the identity, he is Qin Mubai's ancestor, and it is not an exaggeration to give him a salute.
