On the grassland, a city is brightly lit, and there is an endless stream of merchant envoys, crowded with slightly low city walls.

This is the heart of the Mongolian steppe, the Hara and the forest.

The Mongols originally lived by water and grass, and only set up tents with ears, but in this and Lin unexpectedly built a big city, not only surrounded by towers and arrow towers.

In the city, there is a large-scale palace complex, as well as houses and markets in the traditional sense.

This place is like the city of the Central Plains, but it is a little more fireworks than the inland city with a night ban.

In this Horin, it is not only the center of political power, but also the place where the Kurultai Congress was held, which has an irreplaceable sacredness among the entire ethnic groups in the north.

Outside the congested south gate, the sergeants of the Ross Division were carefully checking the identities of those entering the city, their eyes blazing and not daring to relax in the slightest.

A caravan from the Western Regions marched to the door, and the Warat soldiers shouted to stop them, and began to check the people with sharp spears.

Naturally, the caravan obediently handed over their identities to the other party, and when the Warat soldiers checked the last three people, they found that these three people seemed to be two men and one woman, one old and two young.

One of the men handed over the papers, and the Navarat people checked them one by one, and when they saw that the woman was wrapping her hair with a cloth towel, and only one pair of eyes were exposed, she asked her to unwrap the scarf.

The woman took off her scarf, and when the Warat people saw that she and the young man were both from the Central Plains, they asked, "Why are you not like the Chagatai Script?" ”

The young woman was not very familiar with her own language, and the old man on the side smiled and said: "The two of them are the children of my old friend, and they have come all the way from the Ming Kingdom to Chagatai to recognize me. ”

Seeing that the old man spoke fluent Mongolian, the Waratians were wary, and after a few words of reassurance with the leader of the caravan, they let them into the city.

When the woman saw the pass, she hurriedly wiped the sweat from her forehead, wrapped her scarf and entered the city with the caravan.

It's just that not long after the three of them entered the city, they secretly broke away from the caravan while they were bustling with businessmen, and the three of them came to a corner of the downtown area.

The old man looked around cautiously, and said slowly to the young man, word by word: "Lord Jiang, now that we have entered the city, we will not look for a place to live tonight, and we will go to the underground black market in Nahelin first, where there is a lot of news about Keree. ”

The man nodded in agreement, "It's very good, get the news as soon as possible, it will play a crucial role in the safety of Dabao and your princess." ”

His Mongolian language was obviously a little rusty, even a little stiff, but fortunately he could barely understand it.

The young man is Jiang Wei, and the woman next to him is Xiaolan, this old man is Sarenya's personal civil official, and he must be thorough.

The three of them had sneaked out of the ear-cutting camp since last night, and arrived at this and forest ahead of time.

All of this was discussed between them and Bao Yuanqian, it was too dangerous to follow Bao Yuanqian all the way, life and death were unpredictable, and a powerless woman like Xiaolan was obviously inappropriate.

Simply led by Jiang Wei, together with the Mongolian speaker Bi Che Che sneaked into this forest first, the purpose of which was to find out the news of the Kereh people.

Na Bi Che was not willing to go on this trip, but when he heard that he could save his princess from danger, he naturally had an order from Sarenya, whose role was to use his familiar news network and act as a translator.

Jiang Wei has been with Bao Yuanqian for a long time, and he has also learned two knives, but he is not proficient in it, and he knows nothing about it, so these major matters of inquiring about the news have to be handled thoroughly.

And the purpose of their trip to explore the Kereh people was because Sarenya told Bao Yuanqian a secret.

Her maternal family was the Kereh tribe of the steppe, which was once a powerful tribe in the steppe, belonging to the Turkic tribe, and was the most important ally of Genghis Khan at the beginning of his army.

At that time, the king Khan of the Kereh tribe and Temujin of the Qiyan tribe formed an alliance against the Sun Khan of the Zamuhe and Naiban tribes, and the two tribes were close to each other and broke the forces on the Mongolian plateau.

Later, Wang Khan fell out with Temujin for personal reasons, and he was defeated and died, and the Kereh tribe was annexed by Temujin, but the status of the Kereh tribe was extremely high, and there was no rebellion because of Wang Khan's personal grudges, but became a loyal subordinate of Temujin, and he was loyal to the Golden Family.

Among the concubines, ministers, and generals of the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, there were many Kereh.

Wang Khan's niece, instigated Lu Heteni to marry Temujin's youngest son, Tuo Leisheng, the four sons of Meng Ge, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, Kublai Khan, Hülegu, and Ali Buge, and had the most respected status.

After the Yuan Dynasty lost the Central Plains, the scattered and split Kereh people returned to the grassland, and gradually formed the Kereh tribe, but its strength and scale were not as good as before.

Moreover, the people of Kereh live in pursuit of water and grass, and have no fixed place. Sarenya has been separated from her clan for many years, and she doesn't know where she is, otherwise Kun Timur would not have sent her to the Ming Dynasty in a hurry.

Although the strength of the Kerebu is not as strong as before, it is loyal to the Golden Family, and sneers at Ugqi's appeasement, and repeatedly conflicts with it.

In the past, Ugqi supported the puppet Kun Timur, and the Kereh Department refused to pay tribute, but its own strength was weak, although it was unruly, but it was helpless against the Kun Timur brothers and sisters under the control of Ugqi.

He secretly tried to rescue the Sarenya brothers and sisters several times before, but in the end he failed to succeed, it can be said that the Kerebu attaches great importance to Sarenya, but because of the disparity in strength, he did not dare to act rashly.

The three of them on this trip were to inquire about the news of the Kereh Ministry, and took Sarenya's golden knife token and handwritten cipher to the Kereh Ministry to receive foreign aid to ensure that they could be foolproof after obtaining the jade seal.

Sa Renya told Bao Yuanqian that the Kereh people were loyal to the Mongol Yuan and the Golden Family, and that they would inevitably come to answer the news and leave it as a way to retreat.

Bi Che Che has been in Helin for many years, and he knows these shady intelligence networks well, so it is naturally no wonder that Sarenya named him to come.

The three of them rushed to the underground black market in the northeast corner of Helin.

This black market is said to be underground, but in fact it is a few old tents, which are full of Mongolian men with a sour smell, and a bad smell comes to the nostrils, Xiaolan pinched his nose and felt a little disgusting.

He was very sophisticated, and he stepped inside and shouted at the swarthy man in the main tent.

The man saw that he was coming to face him thoroughly, as if he had seen an acquaintance, he smiled, and the two exchanged ears and spoke fluent Mongolian.

They spoke very quickly, and Jiang Wei obviously couldn't keep up with the two knives.

I saw that the swarthy man's face was embarrassed, and his mouth flew up and down, and then he took out a piece of silver from his bosom.

When the man saw the silver, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he wrapped his arms around it, took the silver, and said a few words in Bicher's ear with a smile.

Jiang Wei originally saw that the man had loosened his mouth, and his heart was relieved and thought that there was a play, but he had a black face, and the man turned around and left with a scolding look.

Jiang Wei and the others walked out of this place with him, and Na Bi Che said to Jiang Wei with a bad face: "That man does not seem to know the news of the Kereh people, Kereh is forbidden to talk to Lin Nai here, these people dare not offend the Wara people, and this silver is also spent in vain." ”

Jiang Wei pricked up his ears and tried to listen to a general idea, a little frustrated, and said in his heart that this question is such a loss, if you have a request for someone, you have to take the silver first, and others will tell you the news, even if you don't know if the news is useful, but you can't miss the slightest clue, but you really spent money but bought a useless news, and you can only eat it yourself.

But the matter of looking for Kelie cannot be delayed for a moment, if Bao Yuan enters Helin tomorrow, there is no clue about this matter, then it will be troublesome, and success or failure will be tonight.

Na Bi rolled his eyes, seemed to think of something, and said to Jiang Wei with a perked spirit: "Lord Jiang, since we can't ask, let's find out by ourselves!" ”

He said that his eyes were shining and he was confident.

"Found?"

When Jiang Wei heard this, he said in his heart, how can he find this and the forest people?
