Chapter 103: Sabre Rattling

At noon on the second day, when the scorching sun hit the sea of white tents with ears cut off, hundreds of horsemen had already appeared on the grassland in the distance, holding envoy flags, and coming to the wind.

This Hatun is not false, although this back and forth is nearly a thousand miles, but a number of horses, Marshall people gallop without stopping, which is a day and a night's work.

Nahatun was already waiting in the north of the ear with his hands in his hands at this time, and he was naturally overjoyed to see the cavalry coming in the distance and in the direction of the forest, and paced eagerly in the same place, thinking that he had added a few sums of oil and vinegar to his return letter, and he would have to make another sum of silver.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a soldier running from his ears and whispering a few words in his ear, his eyebrows jumped and he scolded "waste" and hurriedly looked at his ears.

I saw that a caravan of more than 100 people had already walked out of the ears and came to their side, they took off the caravan camouflage one by one, put on one-color iron armor, and looked at the cavalry coming from a distance in full armor.

This is naturally the envoy team of the Ming army, and at this time, Zhang Shanduan also asked people to erect the envoy flag, but his hand has been on the long knife at his waist, and he seems to be looking at the person very cautiously.

The reason why they are like this is also a tacit understanding, even if there is some friction on the road, they all understand what the purpose of their trip is, and they can carry out the priorities.

If each is placed in the tent, if someone else goes straight into each and breaks it, it is sitting and waiting to be killed. But if it is a preemptive strike, gather people and horses to wait for the battle, surround Sarenya in it, and form an iron plate, even if the person who comes has an idea, he can only throw a mouse trap and dare not act rashly.

In any case, the initiative is in your own hands.

Na Hatun hurriedly came over, his eyesight was quite good, and he soon found Bao Yuanqian among the people, he came up for a while to ask for warmth, and asked why the east and west did not rest in the camp and so on.

Bao Yuanqian glanced at him but didn't reply, now this Hatun has no value, it is a waste of time to talk to him more, and his attention is on the people in the distance.

"Brother, what about Brother Jiang and Sister Xiaolan?" Bao Butong looked around the team with a mace and wondered.

"The two of them have something important to do, and they will be back soon." Bao Yuanqian said lightly, looking at the carriage beside him, and Sa Renya was sitting upright in it.

He naturally knew where Jiang Wei went, and last night Sa Renya told him many unknown things, which made him extremely energetic, and he calculated the layout one by one in his heart, and the uncertain future seemed to have opened the tip of the iceberg.

Fast horses and strong hooves, two horses came from the rear, but they were the two brothers of the north wind and the sky.

"Brother Bao, why are you so eager to leave?"

Bao Yuanqian made a gesture, his eyes looked at the large number of horse teams coming in the distance, the two brothers naturally understood what he meant, and they already understood that this team was not an ordinary caravan yesterday, but a team of the Ming government with a strong political purpose to go to Helin.

"Thanks to the two brothers who helped each other along the way, Bao is here to thank the two righteous men, because of the mission before, I can't hide anything, I hope to forgive me."

Beifeng waved his hand aggressively, "Seeing the outside, who can't keep a few more eyes on this long trip to the north, it's in vain to send his life in a daze, we don't care about these details." ”

Bao Yuan Qianlang said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then let's say goodbye, and when we stay with Lin, we will meet again." ”

The two returned the salute: "We will meet again." But he didn't leave, but turned his horse and walked to the side to look at the team in the distance.

However, in the middle of the night, the cavalry that was still in the distance was in front of him in an instant, and this group of cavalry had more than 300 horsemen, all of whom were light cavalry with one-color felt hats and sun suits, and it seemed that they were not carrying an inch in order to hurry, and the purpose was very clear.

The first two people, one is a civil official dressed in a cymbal, and the other is dressed in tendons and flesh as if his clothes are going to burst, and at first glance he is the leader of this cavalry, and this dress should be a Minhan Nayan (Qianhu).

Bao Yuanqian looked at the first two carefully, these two did not look like the nobles of Warat, but like lower-ranking officials. He couldn't hold it a little, why didn't he come in person?

Hatun greeted a whisper with a smile on his face, and the civil official stepped forward and said in Mongolian: "Dare to ask your envoy if he can come from the Ming Kingdom?" ”

Bao Yuanqian rode out, holding the somewhat restless Jedi with the reins, and replied, "Yes, dare to ask where your master is?" ”

The civil official said: "My master lives in Helin, and I will be sent as the former envoy to welcome you to Helin, and he will wait for your envoy in Helin Nancheng." ”

Bao Yuanqian had a three-point bottom in his heart after hearing this, and he thought in his heart that this Mahamu father and son were also very cautious, they had done this kind of work once, and they were afraid that others would come again.

They had just controlled and stole the central government from Helin, and they obviously didn't have enough control over it, and they didn't trust the people left behind, so they didn't even dare to come to this ear less than five hundred miles away, for fear that if they walked on the front foot, the nest on the back foot would be chaotic, so they simply cowered in Helin and didn't go anywhere.

The civil official naturally didn't know what Bao Yuanqian was thinking, and said to himself: "Where is the princess?" ”

As soon as Bao Yuanqian raised his hand, Zhao Bao in the carriage lifted the curtain, revealing Sa Renya in the middle, and then lowered the curtain again.

Although the distance was not close, the civil official also saw it clearly, and the stone hanging in his heart was put down, and the Mongolian strong man beside him said arrogantly: "In this case, then hand over the princess, and we will do the escort." ”

Bao Yuanqian laughed when he heard this, paced back and forth with the restless Jedi on horseback, and said, "Okay, can you bring the jade seal here?" ”

Na Minhan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he snorted lightly: "Is that jade seal something that we can touch?" ”

Bao Yuanqian restrained his smile, his heart was really not so simple,

He shook his head lightly, "Then I can't obey my fate, your master said in his own hand that he would make a deal with my family commander with the jade seal of the country, but now that I don't see the jade seal, then I naturally can't hand over the princess to you, this is my mission." ”

As soon as these words came out, his horse whip made a loud noise in the air, and Zhang Shanduan behind him understood the meaning, and immediately greeted everyone in the Ming army to raise their spirits, beware of changes.

Na Minhan frowned and shouted, "Presumptuous! If you dare to disobey me, how many heads do you have!? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the more than 300 horsemen in the rear were all drawing their swords and bows, and the Ming army was not to be outdone, the bow was already full like the moon, and the gurgling of the bowstring pointed straight ahead.

Seeing this, Hatun, who was caught in the middle, hurriedly crawled to the distance and threw himself on the ground, trembling at the people facing each other.

Bao Yuanqian sneered, "What are you?" A thousand households of Warat, dare to let the messenger of the Celestial Empire listen to you? Believe it or not, before my head hits the ground, Lao Tzu will definitely let your head fall to the ground first, try? ”

He has no fear, although the other party is three times as good as himself, but which one of the people behind him did not come out of the sea of corpses and blood? A group of light cavalry wanted to fight the elite of the Ming army in iron armor, and he had to weigh whether he was enough!

What's more, Sarenya is in his own team, Bao Yuanqian is sure that this Min Han Nayan will not dare to fight openly, if he hurts the princess, he will not be able to cut off a hundred heads!

Seeing this tense atmosphere, Beifeng wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Yangtian, who shook his head at him, and Beifeng no longer stepped forward.

It is very clear that their Balhu tribe is going to pay tribute to Mahamu, although they have a good impression of him after meeting Bao Yuanqian, but after all, this is against Mahamu, and they are shouldering the future of the tribe on this trip, and they can't joke about the future of the tribe because of personal feelings.

The civil official saw that the two sides were tense in front of the formation, and the gold and iron were filled with a chill, like a powder keg, as if it would be blown up at any time, and he was not a martial artist, so he would naturally not go up.

He knew that his mission was to welcome, not fight, and the two armies had not yet been killed, not to mention that this was an envoy with the Ming Kingdom, he hurriedly scolded Min Han Nayan beside him, and Na Min Han Nayan waved his hand to let his subordinates put away their swords.

The civil official turned his head to Bao Yuanqian and said, "Since your envoy has doubts, then just follow me and go to Helin, and when I arrive, I will naturally have an explanation." ”

Bao Yuanqian nodded and returned to the battle, his heart was to withstand this first wave of pressure, whether it was the Central Plains or the ethnic groups in the north, the rulers have always been unkind and treacherous, and they have to be careful when interacting with them.
