The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

At night in the Gobi Desert, the stars are shining, but it is extremely cold.

The sun is not as scorching as the daytime, and the cold night of the Gobi drips into ice.

In the open desert, at a natural city wall surrounded by the Gobi, a bonfire burns, dotting the pitch-black wilderness.

Bao Yuanqian and his entourage did not return to the customs today, but found a hidden place nearly 100 miles outside Jiayu Pass to spend the night, and dozens of captured horses were tied to the outer layer to resist the wind and sand.

For they will bury the treasures they have taken.

This time they robbed the Mongol cavalry, they took a lot of treasures, as well as food.

However, it is obviously impossible to carry a large amount of property into the customs, one is to travel at night in brocade clothes, for fear of jealousy from colleagues in the army, and the other is for fear of leaking the news and causing unnecessary trouble.

The Mongolian princess Sarenya was tied hand and foot at this time, and was placed in the innermost part of the wind erosion cave, isolated from the people outside.

Bao Butong is good at barbecue, and sprinkling cumin on the lamb caught during the day is simply a delicacy in the world.

Bao Yuanqian and his entourage ate and drank around the bonfire, such a delicious thing is difficult to eat in the pass, one by one, as if they had been eaten meat in eight lifetimes, and they threw off their arms and made a mouth full of oil.

Only then did Bao Yuanqian remember Wang Ganju's words, "After eating pickles and rolling tofu, the emperor is not as good as me." ”

Now it seems that it is really a classic.

Bao Yuanqian ate a crooked stomach, patted his stomach and fell on the earthen wall, took a sip of wine, watched his well-fed comrades unload their armor and lie on the blanket one by one, and began to dream, enjoying this moment of confusion and satisfaction.

"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink pipa, urge immediately."

"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people have come back to fight in ancient times?"

Bao Yuanqian read the Biansai poems that he learned when he was studying in later life, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

I didn't think it before, but now I am immersive, with a sharp sand blade and a knife head licking blood, and I have just experienced it.

Every item here, every piece of land, even the wine in your hand, and the meat in your belly are all killed by your own knife and gun, and no one will give it to you as a matter of course.

"Bang dang." With a bang, there was a sound in the wind erosion cave, which alarmed a group of soldiers and broke Bao Yuanqian's thoughts.

They are veterans of a hundred battles, and they even sleep with one eye open, and when the sound moves, they all turn over and get up, drawing their knives and being vigilant.

Bao Yuanqian remembered something, kicked Bao Butong on the side, said a word to Boss Gao, picked up the roasted mutton by the bonfire, and walked in.

Boss Gao appeased everyone, and the group remembered that they had just patronized themselves to eat and drink, forgetting that there were still two captives tied up in the cave, an old man and a young man!

Liu Sandao snorted and scolded: "What do you care about her? The meat is not kept and returned to the customs for the family to eat, and what is done to this girl, starving to death! ”

After that, he covered himself with a blanket and slept with his head covered.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, it was true, they were happy, but the family in the prison was still living a hard life.

However, Boss Gao shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

How could he not know the psychology of these rough men? The woman is just a tool for them to vent their desires, and when they have a request, the woman is a valuable treasure, and they will be good to the woman.

If it is impossible to see this woman, it will mean nothing to them, and they will not have a good face for the Mongolian princess.

What princes and princesses are no different from ordinary people for them, just like Emperor Zhu in the Ying Heavenly Mansion, the deterrent power of these soldiers is not as good as his own sesame mung bean chief flag officer.

But this is also human nature, and the reality is that even he himself is not exempt from vulgarity, and he will not criticize anything.

Bao Yuanqian and Bao Bu walked in with a wooden stick with roast mutton in front of him, and sure enough, he saw Sarenya kicking the jewels and goods with his foot in the hole.

"Don't kick, the meal is here, Nuo, freshly roasted cumin mutton~", Bao Yuanqian shouted in Mongolian, he naturally knew that this high-ranking princess of Beiyuan must be extremely hungry.

Bao Yuanqian took off the strip of cloth stuffed in her mouth, and stuffed the strip of cloth, for fear that she would scold.

Bao Yuanqian handed the barbecue meat to Sa Renya's mouth, and when Sa Renya saw the fragrant cumin mutton in his mouth, he took a bite of it, ripped off a large piece of meat, chewed it and swallowed it in a big gulp.

The soft, crispy outer layer of the lamb was bitten open, and the oil and gas juice trickled down her chin.

Bao Yuanqian looked at this arrogant Sarenya, and her heart was worthy of being a grassland woman, unpretentious, wild, hungry, not at all like a Ming woman.

"Ahem...."

Sarenya was in a hurry to eat and choked a little, so Bao Yuanqian put down the mutton, poured the wine bag into her red lips, and patted her back with his right hand.

After some tossing, it eased up.

Bao Yuanqian didn't dare to let her chew on it anymore, if she choked to death, she would have a great responsibility.

He picked up the mutton, wiped her mouth with a leather handkerchief, and tore it off with his hands one by one and handed it to Sarenya to eat.

The old man had a very good appetite, and soon ate up the roast mutton that Bao Butong had eaten.

Bao Butong looked at Bao Yuanqian, who was still feeding Sa Renya, shrugged his shoulders, patted Bao Yuanqian, and signaled that he was going out.

Bao Yuanqian nodded, and after a long time, Bao Yuanqian handed the last piece of mutton to Sa Renya's mouth, and Sa Renya opened her mouth to bite it, but it was not just mutton.

"it!" , Bao Yuanqian's fingers hurt, and he saw that his fingers full of oil stains were bitten by Sa Renya, and he didn't let go.

"Holy, you're a dog?" , Bao Yuanqian subconsciously scolded in Chinese, withdrew his fingers, and looked at the deep tooth marks on his index finger, oozing blood.

Sarenya's "treacherous plan" succeeded, and she looked proud. With his chin held high, the corners of his mouth turned up like a crescent moon, and he looked at Bao Yuanqian with a provocative smile in his eyes.

"Daughter of the grassland, if you have revenge, you will take revenge, we are clear!" , Sarenya said in Mongolian.

Bao Yuanqian chewed his bitten finger and frowned at Sa Renya, he naturally understood what Sa Renya was talking about, didn't he whip her ass with a horsewhip during the day, she wouldn't whip her if she didn't struggle to the death.

Looking at Bao Yuanqian, who was deflated, Sa Renya laughed loudly, her eyes were aggressive and provocative, as if she looked at Bao Yuanqian like an ant.

"So arrogant, aren't you also tied up by the Tartars? If you don't meet Lao Tzu today, you will be just a tool to vent your desires, and you will take revenge. ”

Bao Yuanqian shot back in Mongolian.

Sa Renya frowned when she heard this, kicked Bao Yuanqian and scolded.

But he didn't think that Bao Yuanqian didn't care and said: "Traitor? You think too much, I am not from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, let alone a Mongolian, I was born in the Ming Dynasty and was a Ming soldier. ”

After hearing this, Sa Renya looked at Bao Yuanqian's pale blue eyes in disbelief, a little incredulous.

Bao Yuanqian was too lazy to take care of her, so he wanted to get up and go out of the cave, but unexpectedly, Bi Cheche, who was full of food and drink on the side, stopped him with a loud voice.

Bao Yuanqian looked back at Bi Che Che, and only listened to Bi Che Che A meal of authentic and sophisticated Mongolian in his mouth, Bao Yuanqian understood seven or eight points after listening to it.

Only then did Bao Yuanqian understand why the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Mobei, Sa Renya, would be taken captive outside this Jiayu Pass.

It turned out that the person who kidnapped them was the person who was the Taishi of Warat, Ugqi Hashha, and Bao Yuanqian, as a liberal arts student who had passed the history test, naturally knew what kind of ruthless character this Taishi Ugqi Hashha was.

The puppet controller of the Mongolian Great Khan, the actual controller of the power of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, killed three Mongolian Great Khan achievement winners in a row, and finally simply established himself as the ruthless man of the Mongolian Great Khan.

He was also the first person in Mongolian history who was not a descendant of a golden family, who was not a descendant of Genghis Khan and established himself as a khan, and now he is even more powerful.

Both Sarena and his elder brother Kun Timur belonged to the Golden Family, and Ali Buge was a descendant.

At that time, Ugqi Hashha was dissatisfied with Kublai Khan's descendant Elbok Khan handing over power to Maham, the leader of the Khulos tribe, so he raised an army to kill Elbok Khan.

And now the current Great Khan Kun Timur is the puppet of this Ugqi Hashha, but now it is the fourth year of Jianwen, and the brother who thinks that this Sarenya will soon be slaughtered by this king-killing madman.

Nabi Cheche continued, it turned out that this Sarenya's elder brother Kun Timur felt that the situation in the Northern Yuan Khan's court was tense, and the Taishi Ugqi Hashiha had the intention of abolishing and killing, so he decisively took advantage of the chaos to secretly send his sister Sarenya, who had depended on him since childhood, out of the Khan's court and came to the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, he was soon noticed by Ugqi, who sent troops to hunt down Sarenya for treason, Kun Timur was already a major general, and the soldiers and horses escorting Sarenya were not as good as Ugqi's elite soldiers.

Sarenya ran all the way to the south, but was overtaken by Ugqi's sentinels more than 100 miles away from Jiayuguan, and the two sides fought a great battle, Kun Timur's soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and Sarenya and the civilian official who accompanied the army, Bi Cheche, also became prisoners.

And all this was also discovered by Bao Yuanqian when he went out to spy at the pass, so he and Brother Gao and a group of elites of the Ming army took advantage of the fire to rob on the road that the group of people must pass.

However, Bao Yuanqian only knew that both sides were fighting with Mongolian tribes, but he didn't know that it was for a Northern Yuan princess, Sarenya.

"Little brother... Nest... Wo looks at the mud eyes beads not like Mingren, Wo wants to betray a news.... Give the mud... The princess who changed the nest died, begging for mud...."

Bao Yuanqian knew that he was humbly and sincerely begging for Sarenya's life with a humble gesture and sincerity in Chinese, but he didn't count what he said, but he was still willing to listen to the news.

Bao Yuanqian nodded, signaling that he would be thorough and straightforward.

But Sarenya shouted, telling Bi Cheche not to say any more, it was pointless.

Bi Che Che shook his head and smiled bitterly, tears in his eyes.

"The proud children of the prairie never make any exchange with the Ming people! I, Sa Ren Ya, would rather die than give in! Sarenya said unyieldingly in Mongolian.

Bao Yuanqian sneered, squatted down and pinched Sarenya's chin, and shot back in Mongolian: "Arrogant? Unyielding? The infighting of your Mongols has brought down a strong and unified country, and the foundation of Genghis Khan, a generation of heavenly pride, has been defeated by your unsuccessful descendants. ”

"Panic like a lost dog, still talking to me about arrogance and posture? If you have the ability, you can go to Nanjing Yingtianfu and dominate the whole country like Yuan Shizu, if you can't do it, don't bargain with me here. There is an old saying in the Ming Kingdom, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat. ”

Sarenya had tears in her eyes, but her expression was unyielding, just saying that her brother had this will, but he didn't have the strength.

Bao Yuanqian sneered and ignored her, looking at it thoroughly.

Bi Cheche sighed lightly and said, "The reason why the Great Khan broke with the Taishi is because of a jade seal that has been handed down to the country. ”

"The jade seal of the country...."

Bao Yuanqian said in his heart, the Mongolians also have a jade seal?

Bi Che saw his doubts and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, this heirloom jade seal is still your Central Plains Han people!" ”

Bao Yuanqian was surprised: "The jade seal of the Central Plains? ”

Na Bi Che nodded and gestured in his broken Chinese: "Just... It's spicy.... Accept... Ordered. ”

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!? Is it these eight words? Bao Yuanqian saw him stumbling for a long time and helped him say it.

Unexpectedly, Na Bi Che nodded vigorously and stared with wide eyes.

Bao Yuanqian's heart was shocked, this is Qin Shi Huang's jade seal of the Heshi Bi heirloom country......

From the Qin Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Congke after five generations, because Shi Jingjiao led the Khitan to destroy the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke burned himself and the jade seal that had been inherited for thousands of years, and there was no trace.

If this jade seal is in the hands of the Northern Yuan, it makes sense, if the Khitan took the jade seal, he died in Jin, and Jin died in Mongolia, and Mongolia became the later Yuan.

Bao Yuanqian's mind flashed countless possibilities and pictures, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this heirloom jade seal, which had not been recorded in the history books of later generations, was really likely to surface!

Bao Yuanqian asked if the jade seal was available, but he was disappointed, the jade seal of the country was not in the hands of the two of Bi Cheche now, but in the hands of Kun Timur of the Mobei Khan's court.

Bao Yuanqian thought about it, today is the thirteenth day of June in the fourth year of Jianwen, and Zhu Di should have sat on the emperor's dragon chair at this time..... He spent his whole life working hard for himself to seize the throne and for the orthodoxy of the Mandate of Heaven, just to make the people of the world admit that he was not a usurper, but a destiny.

If this is the heirloom jade seal....... The days when I was struggling for the low-level military households........ Hiss.....

"Da Bao, what are you talking about for a long time?"

A thick and rough voice came from the entrance of the cave, interrupting Bao Yuanqian's train of thought.

Bao Yuanqian saw Brother Gao looking at him, because he didn't understand Mongolian, so he couldn't understand what Bi Che was saying.

Bao Yuanqian walked to the entrance of the cave and said: "It's nothing, begging me to spare my life or something, but Brother Gao, these two people, we saved the right thing." ”

With that, he walked out, looked at the cold night sky, took a deep breath, and dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind.
