No matter how loud Naha shouted, the marmot did not appear, and ten years later, the big fat may have died.

When I entered Qiuzi again, this city should have changed its appearance, and the huge crack in the city wall where Guo Xiaoke's father and son died in battle was finally blocked by the Anxi army.

The large mulberry forest outside the city wall also disappeared, and it seemed that it had been cut down by the Tang army stationed in Qiuzi, after all, that forest was not good for the defenders of the city, but very good for the attackers.

The ditch that was used to relieve the heat at the beginning of the clouds, and the pigs that were killed have dried up, and it seems that the waterway has also been changed to the qanats.

Judging from the shape, the farmland area of Qiuzi has expanded a lot, and even in winter, the fields are still full of wheat straw.

When Yun Chu left Qiuzi, there was still a strong smell of corpses here, but now it is gone, and the whole city is filled with a strong smell of sheep's flesh.

When entering the city, Yun Chu always couldn't help but compare the current Qiuzi with the Qiuzi in his mind, and after comparing a few more places, he couldn't help but feel that things were wrong in his heart.

After the team was stationed, Yun Chu and Naha silently packed their things, and neither of them was willing to speak.

When he entered the city, Naha asked the Cypriot tribe, but the Tang army here said that he was on the side of the snow-capped mountain and asked about the name of the Cypriot tribe, but they said that they had not heard of it, let alone knew this person.

When Yun Chu left the Great Snow Mountain with Naha, Selema was already an old woman who was almost thirty years old, and whether she could continue to live for ten years, neither Naha nor Yun Chu was sure.

None of the Cypriot women could live past the age of forty, and Yun Chu had never seen a woman over forty years old in the Cypriot tribe, and not many of them were even about thirty-five years old.

The reason why Selema was at such an advanced age of twenty-six or seventeen, and why she could still make a warrior like Kaska fascinated by her, was entirely due to Yun Chu's breeding.

Her nutritional intake far exceeded that of the Cypriot women, who could only eat the saliva of the samurai, and even the samurai's nutritional intake was not comparable to that of Selema.

When Yun Chu was there, every ten days, their family of three must have eaten a meal of meat, and most of this meat was the product of careful processing that was easily absorbed by the human body.

Coupled with Yun Chu's persistent hygiene requirements, this led to Selema's recovery of her true physical fitness, causing her to maintain the appearance of a woman of this age at the age of twenty-six or seventeen.

Naha and Yun Chu carried a lot of things, all of which were given to Kaska and Selema.

Escorted by 500 people led by Liang Ying, Yun Chu and Naha left Qiuzi with fifty camels and went straight to Daxue Mountain.

I don't know when, the snow began to fall on the Gobi again, the snow here is very small, very heavy, it will make a rustling sound when it falls on the body, and if it accumulates a little more, it will slip off the clothes.

In the Western Regions, the environment basically does not change much, but the replacement of people is very fast.

In ten years, the wild pine forest along the small river has not changed much, but the water in the small river has increased, which can be seen from the large white ice field created by the river freezing and pouring up the Gobi Desert.

One hundred and sixty miles, Yun Chu and Naha walked for two days, and encountered several Hui cavalry along the way, but when they found out that this team was flying the black Flying Tiger flag of the Tang Dynasty, they stopped one after another, looked at it from a distance for a while, and then disappeared.

Finally came to the foot of the snowy mountain, Yun Chu also saw the Cypriot tribe under the cliff, but, judging from the scale of houses and tents, in the past ten years, the population of the Cypriots has not only not expanded, but has become much smaller.

Seeing that a cavalry was coming, the Cypriots blew their horns, and the men came out of their tents, and those who had horses began to ride, and those who did not have horses followed behind the cavalry with wooden forks.

As for the women and children, they quickly packed up their things and drove the cattle and sheep to the snowy mountains.

Yun Chu sat on the back of the red horse and said to Naha, who was riding a black horse, "You see, the warriors of the Cypriots can't even get together their horses now."

Naha sighed, "I still just want to see Sey

Rima and Kaskar"

Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how long Selema can stay in the tent of the Sarsga, judging from the virtue of the Cypriots, once a woman can't give birth to a child, she will be kicked out of the tent."

It was taboo for the army to enter the people's tribal settlements, and they would be resisted by the tribal warriors for a while, but here were the Cypriots, who were accustomed to surrendering, and when they saw that there were five hundred black-armored Tang cavalry on the opposite side, they immediately gave up resistance.

Yun Chu urged the horse down the high slope, and the horse's hooves passed through the Cypriots who were kneeling on the ground, and came to the place where he had set up his tent.

There is no shadow of the tent here, even the keel of the tent is gone, only a few black stones that he used to set up a pot to cook rice are still there, but after ten years of wind and rain erosion, those stones are not so black.

Yun Chu went to see the location of the tent of the Kaskaza, and again, there was no shadow of the tent there, only a high wooden pole with an old fox's tail tied to it fluttering in the wind.

There was a bearded man who vaguely understood something, he wanted to open his mouth several times, but finally closed his mouth obediently in front of the tall Tang cavalry.

Naha followed, her bright face and the maroon hair characteristic of the Cypriots caught the attention of all the Cypriots.

Naha got off the black horse and came to the place where she had been dependent on Yun Chu for six years, and slowly squatted down, stroking the pale black stone with her hand, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yun Chu used his horse lance to provoke the bearded man's chin, so that his face was facing him, and then indifferently said in a reply, "Miman?"

Mi Man was excited at first and wanted to stand up, but after all, he still honestly knelt on the ground and whispered, "Yun Chu!"

Yun Chu said, "It's me, I'm back, what about Kaska and Selema?"

Miman pointed to the pole with the fox's tail and said, "Karma is dead, and Selema has been driven out of the tribe."

Miman's answer was not much different from Yun Chu's expectations, as a samurai, the Kaska died, and the elderly Selema had to be driven out of the tribe, after all, the Cypriot tribe did not feed an idler.

Liang Ying felt that this kind of thing was unacceptable, a tribe drove his wife and children out of the tribe after the samurai died in battle, this is not what people should do, so he looked at Yun Chu deadly, as long as he gave an order, the five hundred cavalry under his command could immediately kill all the people here.

Xiao Yuhua and Avanti didn't react, this kind of thing seemed to them to be a normal thing.

Yun Chu didn't feel anything wrong, ten years ago, when he was still in the Cypriot tribe, he had seen too many such things.

When the samurai is alive, he and the people in his tent can enjoy a superior life, and when the samurai dies in battle, the people in his tent will be assigned to other tents by the patriarch, of course, it is all young women and children, and if the woman is old, she will be expelled from the tribe and left to fend for herself.

This rule applies to anyone, even the Uighur Khan, and when the Khan dies, the women and children in his tent are also divided, and no one is exempt.

"Where did Selemar go?" Yun Chu pulled back the horse lance and asked.

Miman was no longer the little boy who liked to herd ewes, and like Yun Chu, he had grown up, and like the adult Cypriot that Yun Chu had ever seen, his beard had grown all over his face, so that only the towering hooked nose was the most conspicuous.

When he was a child, Miman was often bullied by Yun Chu, and now that he has grown up, he is even more scared when facing Yun Chu.

"Selema went to the Great Snow Mountain, it was three years ago, and it should have been eaten by wolves a long time ago."

The direction of Mi Man's finger is the grasshopper lake, and a smile appeared on Yun Chu's face, yes, Selema, who was expelled from the tribe by the Cypriots, where can she go except for the grasshopper lake in the past.

He threw Miman a bag of gold coins, and then urged the horse to come to the crying Naha, grabbed her cloak and put her back on the horse's back, patted Naha on the head and said, "Selema went to Grasshopper Lake"

Naha lifted her hood, looked at Yun Chu and said sadly, "I heard what Miman said, we are not here, she can't live alone in Grasshopper Lake"

Yun Chu said, "There are a lot of fish in the Grasshopper Lake, and I have taught Selema how to fish and how to grill fish."

Naha grabbed Yun Chu's hand and said, "Let's go to Grasshopper Lake now."

Mi Man watched this group of Tang cavalry leave the tribe's fixed camp, threw the gold coin bag in his hand with his hand, and came to a stout Cypriot and said with a smile, "Master Tang said, in the future, I will be the big Apo here."

The stout Cypriot did not refute, he saw it just now, and Mi Man knew the noble Tang man.

"I'm going to move to your tent tonight, everything in your tent is mine, everything is what I deserve, I saved your life, I didn't tell Yun Chu that you drove his mother out of the clan, this secret won't last long, you see those people, one by one, they are all in a hurry to go to the Tang Dynasty Master Gaomi, so as to get a reward, wave the caracal, run, run far away, never come back."

The stout Cypriot swielded the caracal, without a moment of hesitation, jumped on his war horse, and ran away, he accidentally saw Naha's beautiful face just now, so he was very sure that Yun Chu must be the king of the Tang people, and only the king of the Tang people can have such a beautiful woman.

Grasshopper Lake is still so quiet, but because of the cold winter, the surface of the lake is covered with a thick layer of ice.

However, Yun Chu still saw a small ice cave in a very familiar place, and black water waves rippled in the ice cave.

Suddenly there was an eagle cry in the clear sky, and then a black giant eagle swooped down from the sky, and at this moment, a fat marmot with a yellow body came out of the wild grass, this guy's body was so fat, even in the gallop, its oily fur scurried back and forth, like a running bucket.

Seeing that the eagle was about to capture the marmot, Yun Chu made a move, raised his hand to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, and a carved arrow flew towards the eagle with a whistling arrow.

The eagle's arrow pierced the eagle's neck, and the dying eagle spread its wings and spun and fell to the grass.

The marmot that was running wild took the opportunity to burrow into a black stone cave, and immediately a fat head poked out and looked at the sky.

Naha yelled, "Big fat!"

The marmot heard the sound and went back into the cave.
