Chapter 13 The Ancient Tribe of Baye
When the moon rose, so did the bonfire.
Every campfire was filled with laughter, and almost the entire tribe came.
The melodious singing, the hearty food, the intoxicating wine, and the enthusiasm of the Bayegu people are irresistible.
A feast on the steppe is taking place.
The most famous delicacy in the grasslands is mutton, which does not need to be dipped in any sauce, and can be cooked in water to become delicious.
Of course, you can't eat mutton without wine, which is made from mare's milk, and this unique wine of the grassland is not only mellow and sweet, but also has a strong milky aroma, and it tastes unique.
Qin Sheng was eating mutton and drinking mare's milk wine, and finally had a smile on his face. Whoever eats the wind and sand for two or three days is a pleasure to taste such a delicious taste. What's more, she finally stopped worrying about getting lost now.
"Everyone, be quiet, I have something to say." Bano Gu Yankui stood up and said, his voice loud and powerful.
There was a commotion all around, but as soon as he spoke, everyone immediately fell silent, and countless pairs of eyes looked at him in unison, their eyes full of respect.
There is no doubt that he was a respected tribal chief.
Baye Gu Yankui raised his wine glass and said excitedly: "Today we are fortunate to be able to meet our distinguished guest Jiang Gongzi again. Come! Let's toast Jiang Gongzi together. ”
"A glass to Jiang Gongzi!" Everyone shouted in unison, and the shouts shook the heavens and the earth, as if they were the orders of the army.
Jiang Shenzhou held the wine glass high and saluted in return, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and when he put down the wine glass, there were tears in his eyes.
"Hahaha." Baye Gu Yankui laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Jiang Gongzi, it's still as refreshing as before!" ”
"Uncle Yankui is as heroic as before!" Jiang Shenzhou also patted him on the shoulder hard, and he looked very excited.
At this time, a group of people came over, each holding a wine glass in their hands, and each wine glass was full of wine, they came to toast Jiang Shenzhou's wine. Qin Sheng knew before that the people on the grassland had an upright personality and would only drink with people he respected.
It seems that they also respect Jiang Shenzhou.
There were more and more people toasting, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people came, Jiang Shenzhou was able to call everyone's name, and everyone here seemed to know him, not only knew him, but also talked and laughed with him, as if he was his own brother and nephew.
Counting up, Jiang Shenzhou has drunk hundreds of glasses of wine, but there is still an endless stream of toasters, and this feast seems to be held for him alone.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the night is already deep. But everyone was still very sober, and people were holding hands and singing and dancing, which seemed to mean a long night.
Qin Sheng decided to go back to the felt tent to rest first, and Baye Gu Yankui specially ordered someone to clean up the felt tent for her, which looked white and clean, just like new. Of course, Qin Sheng understands that this is also Jiang Shenzhou's sake.
She lay down for a long time, but she never fell asleep.
Since he couldn't sleep, Qin Sheng simply got up and walked out of the felt tent, planning to go to the river bank for a walk.
As soon as she stepped out of the felt tent, she found a man sitting on a stone on the bank of the river.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Qin Sheng walked over and said, she had recognized that person was Jiang Shenzhou.
Jiang Shenzhou replied with a smile: "I can't sleep, it seems that you are the same." He patted the stone beside him again and said, "Since we can't sleep, let's talk together." ”
Qin Sheng sat down beside him and said, "It's okay, I just have a question for you." ”
Jiang Shenzhou sighed: "I know what you want to ask. ”
Qin Sheng blinked, tilted his head to look at him: "Then do you want to talk about it?" "She drank wine tonight, and not only her face was red, but her heart was also warm.
Jiang Shenzhou shook his head and said with a smile: Your curiosity is too heavy, which is not a good thing. ”
Although he didn't want to say it, he continued: "I came here two years ago. ”
"Why are you here?" Qin Sheng's expression was curious.
Jiang Shenzhou explained: "Because there is an extremely rare medicinal herb here, I followed Uncle Li to collect medicine before I came here. I also learned Turkic at that time. ”
Qin Sheng asked, "Senior Uncle Li?" ”
Jiang Shenzhou said: "Uncle Li is a Langzhong, and I learned a lot of skills from him. ”
Qin Sheng smiled and said, "It turns out that you have also studied medicine, so are your medical skills very good?" ”
Jiang Shenzhou said: "It's just a little superficial." But that's not the point, the point is that I've lived here for a while. ”
Qin Sheng suddenly realized: "Because of this, you met the people of the Baye Ancient Tribe?" ”
Jiang Shenzhou shook his head: "I can't say that, we just picked medicine here, and we didn't have much contact with them, but ......" He changed his words and continued: "Then something happened. ”
Qin Sheng hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Jiang Shenzhou said: "Do you remember Leia? ”
Qin Sheng said: "What's wrong with her?" She remembered seeing a girl with pigtails at the dinner party, and her name was Leia.
Jiang Shenzhou said slowly: "Leia is the daughter of Uncle Yankui, one day she fell off her horse, she was seriously injured, not only broke her hand, but also passed out to death. ”
Qin Sheng asked, "What happened later?" She was starting to get nervous.
Jiang Shenzhou said: "Uncle Yankui was very anxious, and hurriedly found a shaman, the shaman is the healer of the tribe, but no matter how they treat him, Leia never woke up. ”
Qin Sheng hurriedly said: "I know, later he found Uncle Li and asked him to come to the rescue." ”
"That's not right." Jiang Shenzhou shook his head and sighed: "They didn't look for Uncle Li Jin, it was Uncle Li Zhen who found them." ”
Qin Sheng was puzzled and said, "Why is that?" ”
Jiang Shenzhou sighed: "Because the Turks believe in immortality. They believe that the life and death of all things are the will of the Immortal Heaven. If even their shaman can't heal, it's providence. ”
Qin Sheng said angrily: "How can this be? Did they just watch her die? ”
Jiang Shenzhou smiled bitterly: "This is their custom for thousands of years, even Uncle Yankui, who is the chief, cannot disobey it. ”
Qin Sheng said: "But Uncle Li still saved her." ”
Jiang Shenzhou said movingly: "That's right, Uncle Li has practiced medicine all his life to help the world, how can he not be saved when he dies." He made a public vow that if he could not save Leia, he would be willing to die to appease the wrath of Immortal. ”
Qin Sheng couldn't help but sigh: "This is the so-called benevolence of the doctor." ”
Jiang Shenzhou said: "Under the treatment of Uncle Shi, Leia finally came back to life, and the chief only has this precious daughter, so she is naturally extremely grateful to us." Later, there was another plague in the tribe, and Uncle Shi rescued many people. So ......"
"That's why they treat you as a distinguished guest!" Qin Sheng hurriedly said.
"Exactly." Jiang Shenzhou said with a smile.
After a long time, Qin Sheng said leisurely: "It seems that it was your uncle who saved us." ”
Jiang Shenzhou sighed: "Yes, but maybe as the chief said, this is also the will of the Immortal Heaven." ”
The two of them stopped talking, just sat quietly, listening to the sound of the river, the wind in the air, and the sound of geese chirping on the clouds in the distance.
The long night has passed, and the day has finally dawned.
At dawn, the wind finally stopped, just as Jiang Shenzhou expected.
The team of Tiance Mansion was about to set off again, only this time they would not lose their way again, because Baye Gu Yankui had sent two experienced herdsmen as their guides. These herders grew up on the grasslands and can find their way even with their eyes closed.
Baye Gu Yankui not only sent people to lead the way, but also gave them a lot of dried meat and wine, which also represents his deep affection for Jiang Shenzhou.
"Jiang Gongzi, no matter where you are, don't forget one thing: you will always be the most honored guest of the Baye Ancient Tribe." These were the last words that Bano Gu Yankui said before parting.
With the help of the guide, it only took half a day for everyone to cross the grassland, and the grassland was a flat land.
On the vast land, a tall city appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Liangzhou has arrived!
Qin Sheng's spirit was shocked, and he ordered to speed up his pace, and the people of Tiance Mansion soon arrived at the city.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of drums on the castle tower.
Amid the earth-shattering drums, countless soldiers poured out of the city like a tidal wave. In the blink of an eye, there were countless more soldiers under the city tower. As soon as these soldiers left the city, they began to form an orderly formation, and in a short time they formed five formations. There were 2,000 men in each formation, and five was 10,000.
The five army formations were divided into front and back, left and right, the front army was heavy cavalry, the middle army was heavy infantry, and the rest of the army formations were Mo sword soldiers, crossbow soldiers, and sword and shield soldiers. The five formations are connected, and the momentum is extraordinary.
The military formation has been formed, and the drums have fallen.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the heavy armored cavalry formation of the front army, and the military formation was suddenly divided into two halves, and there was an extra road in the middle, and a military general wearing mountain heavy armor and riding a tall horse slowly walked out of the cavalry group majestically, and twenty ironclad guards followed closely behind him, each with a murderous aura on their faces.
The majestic military general came straight to the front of everyone in the Tiance Mansion, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "The last general greets all the people of the Tiance Mansion. ”
This tiger-backed military general has dark skin and a bearded face, although he is smiling, he has an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
Jiang Shenzhou had already recognized who this person was.
He is the current governor of Liangzhou, and he is also the son of a generation of tiger general Wei Chi Gong - Yu Chi Baolin.
"Brother Wei Chi, what are you doing here? Why bother to stir up the crowd so much. Qin Sheng said helplessly. She has known Yu Chi Baolin since she was a child, because Qin Qiong and Yu Chi Gong have been friends for many years.
"The soldiers of the Tiance Mansion have come from afar, how can this governor not express his welcome." Yu Chi Baolin laughed and said, "I have set up a banquet in the city, please!" ”
After saying that, he took the lead and led everyone back.
"Did you say he really came to welcome us?" Jiang Shenzhou asked Qin Sheng in a low voice.
"Of course! What else could it be? Qin Sheng asked rhetorically.
"I don't think it's welcome." Jiang Shenzhou shook his head and pondered: "Putting on such a posture is not so much a welcome as a ......."
"What is it more like?" Qin Sheng didn't understand what he meant.
"Show off!" Jiang Shenzhou replied.
