The battle of Butterfly Pass ended with the soldiers and horses of the Zarayier troops brought by Jiang Wei.

In order to prevent the ambush soldiers of the ghost power Chijinkou from coming again, everyone cleaned up the battlefield and left here in the starry night, detoured to the northeast and continued to move forward until the night of the next day, before they crossed the entire Altai Mountains and entered the Mobei grassland.

This is the boundary of Warat, and it is not far from Helin.

The wilderness here exudes the fragrance of grass, unlike the thousand-mile Gobi in the south of the desert, where the streams trickle and the green grasslands are boundless.

Bao Yuanqian knew that this was because Mobei was separated by water vapor from the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, and was not blocked by too large mountain ranges, so after crossing the Gobi, there was an endless Mongolian steppe, which had been a breeding and grazing land for the northern ethnic minorities for generations.

They chose a higher ground to avoid flooding the camp on the flat ground, and soon the group set up camp, and more than 1,000 people from the Zarayier tribe surrounded the outer layer, carefully guarding.

They were obviously restrained by the crazy old man beside them, and the crazy old man told Bao Yuanqian on the way that he could be a favor and escort them to Helin safely.

Bao Yuanqian actually didn't quite understand why the crazy old man who met in Pingshui would take great care of his group, and that feeling of déjà vu came to his heart.

The crazy old man just said the word 'fate', and then smiled and said no more.

Bao Yuanqian was a little worried at first, whether so many soldiers and horses from the Zarayier Department would pay attention to anything else, but looking at the crazy old man, he couldn't have a suspicious heart, after all, if the crazy old man's skills were evil, there was no need for those soldiers and horses to do it, he stood here alone, and no one in his group could shake him.

"Old ginger, this is the soju of the Balhu Division, let's take two sips and rest."

Bao Yuanqian settled down everyone, but on the way to patrol the camp, he found Jiang Wei sitting alone under the tree in the forest, looking at his place, so he brought a pot of wine over.

Jiang Wei took the wine and tasted it, he was a little uncomfortable with such a spirit, so he tasted it and said, "Uncle Bao... How are you going to do that? ”

Bao Yuanqian sat down and pondered for a long time, "What else?" I have my way, he has his secrets, but I have to find my way no matter what. ”

Jiang Wei nodded, he understood the meaning of Bao Yuanqian's words, and sighed lightly: "Da Bao, these days, Xiaolan is thanks to your help." ”

Bao Yuanqian smiled helplessly and asked, "You and my brother, it should be." But you, what kind of encounter? The great calamity did not die, but he brought so many soldiers and horses, and he also knew that....", he said this, his voice was a little quieter, and he looked around.

On this day and night, everyone was cautious, vigilant and did not dare to rest for a moment, and the two did not have too much communication on the road, but now they are idle and just ask Jiang Wei what he has encountered. Why is it here?

Jiang Wei frowned slightly and thought for a long time, then said: "It's a long story, actually... I found you in Blackwater. ”

Bao Yuanqian looked at him with some puzzlement, waiting for him to follow.

Jiang Wei immediately told the story, and Bao Yuanqian understood what happened that day.

It turned out that on that day, the people of the tunnel in the east of the city attacked, and the fierce fire oil swallowed the ground in an instant, but the underground labyrinth was vast, and there were many places where the fierce fire oil could not burn, and the ghost Li Chi and others also retreated through these small paths.

Jiang Wei happened to hide in a small path on the side, and when he saw countless Warat soldiers coming from the darkness, he simply fell to the ground and pretended to be dead corpses.

Instead, he went north in the underground labyrinth, and in the days he had drawn a map of the place and had mastered the labyrinths for seven or eight points, and he groped for a few hours in the general direction he had memorized, and by the time he came out of the ground again, he was already a few miles away on the north bank of the river.

He turned around and looked at the city of Suzhou, which was surrounded by the people of the Varat on the south bank of the Horai River, and saw that the beacon fire in the distance was cut off, and the city of Suzhou was in danger.

It's just that he was alone, and he groped in the dark night, and soon lost his way, struggled for two days, and finally fainted due to lack of water in the Gobi, and when he woke up, he was already in Heishui City, thousands of miles away.

And the person who saved him was the crazy old man!

Bao Yuanqian suddenly said when he heard this: "I see. ”

Jiang Wei smiled: "You may wonder why I didn't go into the city, but went out of the city." ”

Bao Yuanqian nodded, in his impression, Jiang Wei was not a greedy person.

Jiang Wei smiled lightly: "There are two, one of them is from the tunnel, I am the person in charge, Deng and Li are unkind, they cherish their feathers very much, and they will definitely ask me for their guilt if they make a slight mistake, how can I be harmed by these two people?" Second, the beacon fire in Suzhou was cut off, and the city was in danger, so I could only take risks and go out of the city to spread the message. ”

This road is also the first time he has explored it, and he doesn't know where the exit is, so he is completely desperately gambling on his luck.

Bao Yuanqian snorted, "Old Jiang, you are thoughtful, if you are really questioned by that Deng Ping, it will not be easy to explain." ”

Jiang Wei continued, after he woke up, his first reaction was to find Wei Yuwei to pass on the message, but he was stopped by the crazy old man, Blackwater City is hundreds of miles away from Wei Weiwei, and it is naturally unrealistic for him to be quite weak.

Jiang Wei was tormented in his heart, Xiaolan, Dabao and others in the city were trapped in it, he didn't have half a penny on him, he couldn't rent a horse or find someone to do things.

He wanted to ask the crazy old man to deliver the message, but the crazy old man disappeared unexpectedly for several days.

Just like this, on the fourth day of waking up, when he was about to report the news desperately, he found Bao Yuanqian and others in Blackwater City, he was overjoyed, and wanted to come forward to recognize him, but the crazy old man who had been missing for several days suddenly appeared and grabbed him.

He only said, "Your friend is in danger, can you dare to solve the siege?" ”

Jiang Wei was puzzled, the crazy old man pointed to the surrounding Zoroastrian and the leading ghosts, and handed Jiang Wei a token and map, and asked him to go to the Zara Yi'er Department to borrow troops and go straight to the butterfly pass.

The crazy old man was his savior, and he naturally chose to believe it, and after several twists and turns, he finally borrowed the soldiers and horses of the Zarayi'er Department and hurried to the flaming butterfly pass.

He was even more horrified by the crazy old man in his heart, and said in his heart, isn't this crazy old man the reincarnation of Zhang Liang? Strategizing, everything is in your hands?

The crazy old man disappeared for a few days for some reason when he was in Blackwater City, and when he came back, he saw at a glance the collusion between Ghost Li Chi and the Zoroastrian Sect, and accurately predicted the place where the incident would occur, and it seemed that all the conspiracies and calculations of Ghost Li Chi were in his control.

Even the time it takes to come and go and Jiang's ability to be a person are all clear.

When Bao Yuanqian heard this, he understood the cause and effect of this, why Lao Jiang did not die, why he was able to borrow the soldiers and horses of the Zarayier Department, and why this crazy old man would take the initiative to join his caravan.

It turned out that this crazy old man had been eyeing Ghost Lichi for a long time, and deliberately followed him, in order to draw out the secret clue of Zoroastrianism, but it was a pity to let Zoroastrianism escape.

Jiang Wei coughed lightly and said, "This time I went to borrow troops and learned a lot about these tribes. ”

Bao Yuanqian sighed and said, "You mean this Zara Yi'er Department?" ”

He knew in his mind that there was such a tribe, because this Zara Yier tribe was actually the predecessor of the Khalkha Mongol tribal alliance that lived in Mobei during the Qing Dynasty, that is, Outer Mongolia in later generations.

The Zara Yier Department belongs to the Dieer Liejin Mongolian system, which is divided into ten parts, including Zahuti, Tokurawen, Honghe Sawuti, Gumiwuti, Wuyati, Youlehan, Guerqin, Duolangjiti, Balli, and Shanghuti.

The initial core of the origin of the Mongolian people is composed of two groups, one is the Niren Mongols, the other is the Die'er Liejin Mongols, and the golden family of the Eurasian people is from the Qiyan Department of the Niren Mongols.

It can be said that the two systems of Niren Mongolia and Dieerrejin Mongolia have been supporting each other and relying on each other for nearly a thousand years, and they are quite strong iron alliances that do not levy.

In history, one of the most famous people in the Zarayier Alliance is one of the "Four Heroes" under Genghis Khan, Mu Huali.

When Mu Huali was in Genghis Khan's westward expedition, he was in charge of the important task of attacking Jin in the south, and swept through 72 prefectures in Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, nine prefectures in half a year, and the Jin Dynasty had to face north and claim to be vassals.

As early as the ancestor of Genghis Khan, the Zarayir tribe became a slave tribe of the Qiyan tribe, and Muhuali was given to Genghis Khan as a slave at the beginning of his birth.

A person like Mu Huali, who is resolute and wise, brave and good at fighting, is not the only one in the Zarayier Division, but the Zarayier Department has inherited this fine bloodline, and is brave and brave.

It's just that Jiang Wei mentioned it now, are there still some secrets that he doesn't know?

Jiang Wei saw that he thought about it for a long time, so he said bluntly: "This Tatar Taishi Arutai took the opportunity to break with Warat, he not only attacked the ethnic groups that were not of Mongolian origin, but even the Dieer Liejin Mongol lineage, which had been allied with the Niren Mongols for generations, was also suppressed by him, and the nobles of the Dieer Liejin clan in the Tatar tribe have long complained, so this time they are particularly active in borrowing troops to fight against Ghost Lichi." ”

"That Tatar is already weak, and now for what self-proclaimed orthodoxy of the Mandate of Heaven is making a big difference in blood, making the Tatar even more divided, although Arutai is vicious but short-sighted, what's the use of just asking for an orthodox name? The big fist is orthodox! ”

Bao Yuanqian listened to it and said in his heart, this Alutai engaged in these Mingtang, it is really self-severed, can not unite and can be united, but engaged in retro division, first the people in the forest, and then Dieer Liejin Mongolia, all the betrayals and relatives are no wonder they were beaten and hid on the border of the Ming Dynasty to seek refuge during the Xuande period, which is really sad and lamentable.

After thinking about it, he looked at Jiang Wei and asked, "Then do you know the origin of this wind?" ”

Jiang Wei shook his head and said: "That senior is unfathomable, not for you and me to guess, but fortunately, he should have no other thoughts, and rest assured." ”

Jiang Wei suddenly thought of something as soon as he finished speaking, and said: "Da Bao, there are some things I have to remind you, that Deng and Li, especially Li Chengen, are unscrupulous people to achieve their goals, he can hurriedly let you send this princess of Beiyuan to Helin, eighty percent of them are inseparable from those two brocade guards, with his style of acting, you have obtained the jade seal along the way, especially be cautious." ”

Bao Yuanqian nodded, and suddenly his eyes approached and whispered a few words to Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei was a little surprised when he heard it, and whispered: "Are you serious?" ”

Bao Yuanqian looked at him firmly, "When the camera acts, it's better to strike first than sit and wait." ”

Jiang Wei looked at Bao Yuanqian's somewhat grim face, nodded and said, "Big bag, I haven't seen you for many days, you have changed a lot." ”

Bao Yuanqian told him about Big Brother Gao, but Jiang Wei was not surprised, this matter was expected by him, but he didn't expect Bao Yuanqian to guarantee the survival of the two.

Jiang Wei said: "Big bag, do you want to win over Gao Zongqi?" ”

"Yes, now Brother Gao is alone, he has no worries, and he is a person who can be wooed."

Jiang Wei nodded and said: "Gao Zongqi is an upright person, and when the overlord of Chu is still at the end of his life, he doesn't have to be too harsh, I think whoever wants to survive will make the same choice for his family." ”

Bao Yuanqian didn't expect Jiang Wei's thoughts to be the same as his own, and his heart was really a good buddy in a pair of pants.

"It's just.... That Liu Sandao, you still have to be careful, this person's mental skills are quite biased, no matter what, keep an eye on it. ”

Jiang Wei reminded him, and Bao Yuanqian just wanted to speak, but saw a person walking beside him.

"Big Brother Gao?"

The person who came was none other than Gao Shouzheng.

Gao Shouzheng fought bloodily that night, and was wounded in three places on his body, and the blades were all chopped, but now he didn't go to rest but found here.

Bao Jiang and the others both got up to greet each other, and Gao Shou said respectfully to Bao Yuanqian: "These days, too many things have happened, and it is difficult to sleep. ”

Bao Yuanqian comforted: "Brother Gao, the Si people are gone, and the living have to go down." ”

Gao Shouzheng's eyes were a little gloomy, and the seven-foot strong man also had tears in the corners of his eyes, "Dabao, how much you have taken care of my wife and children during my absence, I will not forget this kindness, but I just complain that their lives are thin and they don't have that blessing." ”

"You can protect me from Lord Deng's knife, you have the grace to recreate me, I am a beast and know what to do, I am high and this life is given by you, and now there is nothing to be afraid of being alone, you say who to cut, I have nothing to say." You have the right to rest assured, with me there, Liu Sandao can't make waves. ”

Gao Shouzheng said tenaciously: "If he changes his appearance, he will be my brother Gao, if it is a fly camp dog who does something unrelentingly, my Gao Shouzheng's knife will not spare him first!" ”

Bao Yuanqian was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and the last few words of his heart and way of talking were all listened to by Brother Gao, but he seemed to be a little too cautious.

Then he said: "Brother Gao, don't be careful, you and I are still friends, regardless of anything else." ”

Gao Shouzheng sighed, "It's a pity that there is a blood feud between his wife and children...."

Bao Yuanqian arched his hand and said: "Brother Gao, your family has a blood feud and a debtor, if there is a day of settlement with that Ugqi in the future, I will definitely seek justice for your whole family!" ”

Gao Shouzheng knelt on the ground and bowed to Bao Yuanqian, Bao Yuanqian and Jiang Wei hurriedly pulled him up, looked at each other and couldn't help but feel that Brother Gao, a man who stood on the top of the sky, also had times of embarrassment.
