Chapter 143: Three Fingers Pull the Strings and Cause Trouble

The people of the Kereh tribe who responded to the road took the lead and immediately sent a group of people to drive their horses and turn around first.

When Bao Yuan had not been doing much, he saw a flag raised in front of him, and a large group of men and horses rushed straight forward.

"Princess!"

"Sister!"

The first one rode on a snow-white horse, wrapped in luxurious fur, but he was not very old, even younger than the cloth bag. The person next to him is Bi Che Che, who has stayed here and has not returned with Jiang Wei for quite some time.

Sarenya looked at some strange and familiar faces in front of her, and stare forward as if she were looking at a friend she hadn't seen in years.

The boy with ten white horses stopped at his horse, hurriedly dismounted and ran to hold the reins of Sarenya, he looked up at Sarenya for a long time before he was overjoyed and said, "Little sister, do you remember my brother?" After so many years, my brother almost doesn't know you anymore! ”

Sarenya jumped off her horse, looked the boy up and down, and said cautiously, "You are... Misht?! ”

The boy nodded violently and said happily: "Little sister has a good memory, the little guy who followed you by Baihaier Lake that year, do you remember that you tricked me into eating a mouthful of mud?" ”

Sarenya smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's you, I didn't expect to be taller than me after so many years, and it's not the child who peed his pants before." ”

Misht laughed a few times, scratched his head and said, "Little sister, don't make fun of me, I'm now the Ye Hu of the Keree Department, you have to save me some face!" ”

"Ye Hu? Na Shiro Yehu..."Hearing him say this, Sarenya couldn't help but ask.

Mishte restrained his smile and said lightly: "Father, he passed away three years ago, and now I have inherited the position of Ye Hu for quite some time, this time I saw your letter and golden knife, I will send the army to rescue you." ”

"The world is impermanent, I didn't expect to return after ten years of absence, and my uncle is already ancient." Sa Renya sighed lightly when she heard this, and then swept away the haze and said to Bao Yuanqian in the rear: "Batu, I'll introduce you to you." ”

Bao Yuanqian turned over and dismounted, and Saren Ya took his hand and walked to Misht and said, "This is my uncle's son, and now the guardian of the Kerebu Ye, Misht. ”

Immediately introduced to Misht: "This is Sister Batu Batur, his name is Bao Yuanqian." ”

When Misht heard Sarenya's introduction, she knew that the person she could call Batu was naturally a person of heart. Misht looked at the two of them with a playful expression, and said with a smile: "I didn't think that Little Sister, this white moonlight ordinary person, also had a day when she was captured, hahaha!" ”

"I've seen Ye Hu."

Mishte waved his hand and said, "Hey, since it is my little sister's heart, it is a family." You don't have to call me Ye Hu, see outside. Just call me my brother like my little sister, right, brother-in-law. He squeezed his eyes and quipped.

Bao Yuanqian said in his heart, this Mishte Ye Hu is straightforward and fast-talking, he has no arrogance at all, but he is a good person to get along with. In later generations, it was called self-cooked, and it was also regarded as a young and straightforward person.

It's just that it took a long time to see their sister and brother recognize each other, which shows that the relationship was very sincere, but they haven't seen each other for too many years, and they don't recognize each other.

Ye Hu said with a smile, it is better to call Ye Hu before others. Bao Yuanqian said that Sarenya had told him a lot about Turkic tribes such as the Kereb tribe in the past. @*~~

After they were conquered by the Mongols, they implemented the Mongol bureaucracy, abandoning the traditional titles such as special service, Yehu, and Dagan. But since the Yuan Dynasty was breached, the grassland was in chaos after the Yuan Emperor fled north.

This unfettered Turkic tribe has resumed the thousand-year-old tradition, the name is the Yuan Chen, so it is not called Khan, the supreme governor appoints himself as Ye Hu, and the children and nobles are divided into special services, set up and other positions, for many years.

"Hey, brother-in-law. My little sister has a hot temper, which is not something that ordinary men can control..."Misht suddenly leaned closer and whispered mysteriously.

"Brother, did you mean bad things about me?"

Sarenya stretched out her hand to pinch him, but Misht hurriedly jumped away and said with a smile: "I don't, little sister is not a place to talk here, quickly follow me back to the ministry, there is a bonfire dinner waiting for you!" ”

Misht turned over and waved his hand, and the mighty procession in front and behind headed along the frozen Lake Baihail to the north.

Along the way, the two sisters and brothers reunited, and they naturally talked a lot after not seeing each other for many years. This of Sarenya.

Mother and Misht's father, Zhiro, are siblings, and they are cousins, and since their parents are no longer there, it is naturally better to have sympathy for each other now.

Along the way, he listened to Misht ask for merit in front of Sarenya, saying that he had overcome all odds and dangers, and if it had not been for his stepmother's insistence on not allowing himself to come with the army, he would have taken the lead in going to Horin.

And the biggest obstacle to this borrowed army is this Mi Zhi Panna, Jiang Wei told himself about this Mi Zhi Pan Na along the way, he asked many Kereh people's words, only to know that this Mi Zhi Ban Na is not Misht's biological mother, but Zhiluo Hou married Ke Dun.

According to the Turkic custom, after the death of Zhiluo, Mizhbana should marry his stepson. However, Misht has been playing with Sarenya since he was a child, and he has been exposed to a lot of Han culture, and after Sarenya left, he studied it by himself for many years, knowing etiquette and understanding ethics.

Therefore, when Zhiluo died, Mijabana was refusing to do his kedun as usual, and Misht insisted on taking him as his mother and did not sleep with him.

Nami-like was already ambitious, and when Shiro was alive, he wanted to encroach on military power, but Shiro didn't give it. When Zhiluo died, the twelve-year-old Misht succeeded to the throne, and this Mi Pana thought that he could naturally become the stepson of Ketun, and took power as the regent of Ye Hu.

But he didn't expect that Misht's humble appearance was not stupid at all, and the young man not only rejected the Mi Shi Ban who wanted to marry him, but also firmly held the vast majority of military power in his own hands by winning over his father's henchmen, ministers, generals, etc.

In this way, she was even more angry, and her path to power was blocked. However, her power should not be underestimated, although most of the military power is in the hands of Misht, but the children of the nobles of the Kereh still have some soldiers and horses, and the relationship with Mizhbana is not ordinary, and they are quite close.

And this is like a Shining people, with some Flash forces, although these forces are the subjects of Kereh, which are far less than the six or seven thousand soldiers and horses directly under Misht, but they have formed a very different force within the Kereh Ministry, and they have some right to speak.

Now hearing the conversation between Misht and Sarenya, it is even more confirmed that what Lao Jiang said is true, these children of the nobles of Kereh are screwed together with Mishtina, and they are fighting wits and courage with Misht.

Everyone entered the camp, Bao Yuanqian asked his men to escort Benjamin and Mishte's personal guards to the side of the tent to guard, and the rest of them sat in the warm tent, drunk between the sheng song and swallow dance, they ran for a long time, and at this moment the tense nerves were temporarily rested.

Namist sat on the same throne with a lady of purple velvet, as if they were intimate. The woman in the purple robe is naturally like the Mi Shi. She is pampered, only more than 30 years old, and her maintenance is very charming.

The children of the Kereh nobles, I don't know whether they are Misht's brothers and uncles, or their nephews and descendants, are all gathered together, and their eyes keep looking at Bao Yuanqian and his party as "uninvited guests". @*~~

Suddenly, the man got up with a glass of wine and said, "Today, you don't know, but there is a big man in our small Keree department, which really makes me and other small widows shine!" ”

The nobles were a little puzzled when they heard this, but they heard that the niece of the former Ye Hu, the pearl of the Kereh tribe, had returned to the headquarters, but this kind of wording was inevitably misplaced.

Misht bit his thick lip and pondered, but he didn't expect that Mi Shi to step straight to Bao Yuanqian.

"Yuanchen Mi Na, I have seen the third prince of Emperor Tianyuan." As soon as her voice fell, she had already raised the wine in her hands with both hands, and presented it humbly, "What have you done? Don't you know that this is the bloodline of the Golden Family, the only remaining bloodline of the Yuan Shizu? Ye Hu is really, he didn't tell us about such a big thing, and we neglected the superiors. ”

The Kreh nobles in the rear looked at each other with all kinds of strange looks. It's just that for a moment, they all got up together and stepped forward to salute Bao Yuanqian: "The sin of the minister, I have seen the third prince!" ”

This movement was not small, and the whole tent was filled with aftersound.

Misht's still immature face was a little dark, but he immediately raised his glass. This caught Bao Yuanqian a little off guard, and he looked at the sudden trouble.

He felt that it was the first time he had met her, and there was no possibility of personal enmity.

The only possibility is that this Mi Shi deliberately threw out his identity to let the children of the nobles know their identity, and there are two possibilities for this.

One is pure exclusion.

I don't want to stay in the Kereh Department as the son of Emperor Yuan, and let the Kereh nobles run and beat me so that I have no place to stand.

The second is just the opposite, this Mi Zhi wants to use his own name to win over the Kereh nobles who cooperate with him, and use the name of Emperor Yuan's bloodline to fight against Misht.

Either way, it says at least two things. @Β·No mistake start~~ One is that someone deliberately pulled himself into the troubled waters of the Kerebu and made himself a puppet victim. The second is that some of the high-ranking generals sent by Mishte are like Mi Tong Mi, and there are people in this Mishte who are female cadres!

When he asked for Benjamin, not many people would know about his identity, and when he asked for Benjamin's good brother, there were only a few Dagan present, who was it?

Under Sarenya's nervous gaze, he stood up and raised his wine and saluted: "Ladies and gentlemen, it has been nearly forty years since the Yuan Court was defeated. Today's grassland has long been a group of heroes competing for hegemony, what is the Yuan Lord and Yuan Chen? Even the Great Khan is a puppet, not to mention that I am alone? ”

After that, he pulled his neckline lightly, revealing the terrifying scar inside, and said: "No matter what my identity is, I am already in the mirror." Even the scars of this golden family have been covered by me, and I am not determined to be in the world in this life, and I have no heart to fight for hegemony, I only want to be a rich man for the rest of my life. If you respect this cup of wine, I will drink it, and if you respect the king, then you will forgive you for being shallow and shallow, and you will not have the ability to drink this cup of wine. ”

He thought very clearly, since Mi Shi Pan dared to make such a difficulty, there is naturally definite evidence, rather than quibbling to make people more suspicious and raise vigilance, it is better to admit calmly, this Mi Shi also has her own thoughts, she does not mention Benjamin, and naturally knows that Benjamin's power she can't control. However, he also had to make it clear that he would not interfere in the contradictions of their Kereh tribe, and that he did not think anything more than about them, the nobles with vested interests, which was absolutely undrinkable.

"It's... There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, how can we ignore them? "It's a shame.

Bao Yuanqian put down the sprinkling cup and said: "Since Ke Dun insists on calling me a king, it seems that he can't trust someone Bao." In this case, I will leave immediately so as not to misunderstand you. Then he wanted to go out.

"Thisβ€”" Everyone was surprised.

Misht flashed to relieve the siege and said: "He is just a member of the Golden Family, and his identity is still unknown, but you insist that it is too abrupt to say that it is the crown prince of the Tianyuan Emperor, and it is not the one who provoked the guests to make us the Keree." ”

Under the siege of Misht, the nobles in Bao Yuanqian's seat got up one after another. The Mishte, who looked at the troublemaker, flashed a few times in his eyes and landed on the throne with a light snort.

A banquet ended in a strange atmosphere, Bao Yuanqian returned to the tent but had a lot of thoughts, and now this Kerei Department is even more difficult for himself than he imagined, which is really no less than the Longtan Tiger's Den in Helin.

This is like a man with many thoughts, and the nobles of Kereh have their own ghosts, that is, Yehu Misht will favor himself because of Sarenya. If she didn't have herself, this place would be a paradise for Sarena, and her own brother would be a well-worded Kreye protector, who would naturally be able to protect her. I am afraid that because of my own existence, I will not only get into trouble for myself, but also let these Kreh nobles and Mizubana find an excuse to carry out a political attack on Misht.

In this way, Misht was in a dilemma and fell into passivity. The most important thing is that this female cadre must be a person with a connection, and this person should also be a person who often follows Misht's side.

Who could it be?

........

On the third day of Bao Yuanqian's arrival in the Kerebu, it snowed heavily. Ye Hu Mish invited him to go to the frozen Baihaier Lake to shoot and hunt, and he and Jiang Wei rode away with more than 100 people of Ye Hu's personal guards.

Although this Misht was talented, he was very powerful, and he was very interested along the way, riding horses and shooting wild animals along the way.

However, Bao Yuanqian paid attention to one detail, this Mishte's method of opening the bow is very different from others!

Generally, Bao Yuanqian and others open the bow, and the habitual is the Mongolian bow opening method, also known as the traditional archery style, which is to use the thumb to pull the arrow to shoot.

Although this Misht is a Turkic, it stands to reason that he should use the Mongolian method of archery with the traditional Turkic method.

But he shot dozens of arrows along the way, all of which were three-finger string pulling techniques!

This three-finger stringing technique was almost impossible to appear in East Asia in this era.

District. This three-finger string pulling technique is also known as the Mediterranean style of shooting. As the name suggests, this kind of law almost only exists in Western Europe and the Mediterranean coast of the same era, and even Eastern Europe and Rakshasa (Russia) and other countries rarely use this kind of archery.

"Ye Hu's shooting style is so strange, why don't you use the traditional shooting style to open the bow?" Bao Yuanqian asked.

He asked this because he had a key question in mind: the Timurid Empire and Zoroastrianism were scattered throughout Central and Western Asia, especially near the eastern shores of the Mediterranean and the Egyptian peninsula, where people were accustomed to pulling strings with three fingers.

The Zoroastrian forces and the Timurid Empire were both de-Mongolized, they were originally the forces that migrated from East Asia to Central Asia, so that they should be traditional strings, but after coming into contact with the three-finger strings in the Mediterranean, they began to spread and learn so that later they completely abandoned the traditional strings and completely completed the de-Mongolization.

This Misht has lived in East Asia for a long time, so... Who taught him to pull the string with three fingers? Could it be Zoroastrianism or Timurid influencers? Once these two forces appear, it will not be good news for themselves!

Mistellema smiled: "Brother-in-law, I don't know, this is the way to pull the string in the far west, and you can use less force to open a strong bow and a hard crossbow. ”

Bao Yuanqian seemed to have an understanding and said: "I see, I don't know who passed it on?" ”

Mishte laughed and pointed to Bao Yuanqian's side and said, "This is the person, he is a Persian." Three years ago, he came to my military attachΓ© in the Kerei Department and taught me the three-finger string technique. @Β·error-free start~~"

Bao Yuanqian was stunned when he heard this, he turned his head to look at it, but saw a high-nosed and deep-eyed man full of stubble looking at him with a smile. He never expected that this person who taught Misht archery would be next to him.

He looked at the Persian carefully, and his heart had come three years ago.... It was when Zhiluo died and Misht succeeded to the throne, which is quite the style of the Zoroastrian sect taking advantage of the handover to insert the high-level, so will this person be a female cadre who stirs up trouble?..

But now it's a little troublesome, after all, it's not good for me to be with the Zoroastrians, if this guy is a Zoroastrian and learns his identity in the tent that night.... Not so good.

When he looked at Misht again, he saw that Misht was already looking at him with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be a hole in his deep eyes.
