Chapter 68: The People of the Forest

The convoy traveled until late evening and camped in a sheltered col. On the second day, he set off early in the morning, and only after a short distance, he saw three figures on horseback galloping towards the convoy, and when he arrived in front of the convoy, he saw three Mongolian youths dressed as soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Shen Peng and the Northern Yuan Taiwei Nahachu, as well as his subordinate Ping Zhangguolai, General Zuo Guan Tong were extremely familiar, and when he saw these three Northern Yuan scouts at this time, he was not alarmed, and greeted the three soldiers in a fluent Mongolian dialect.

The burly Mongolian knight pointed to the flag with a unique logo on the vehicle and asked in Mongolian, "Who is your leader?" What's the last name? ”

Shen Peng heard in his ears that the Mongolian accent of this knight was slightly different from that of the soldiers under Nahachu's command, and he was surprised, but he still gave up his hand right away, and said with a smile in Mongolian: "Xiao Ke Shen Peng, and Nahachu, General Guantong are very familiar. ”

The Mongolian knight heard Shen Peng say his name, his face showed a hint of joy, and he said: "The prince of my family sends me to wait around here every day to wait for Mr. Shen, and ask Mr. Shen to lead the convoy to meet in the big tent." At this point, there was a sense of respect in his words. Before he could finish speaking, one of his companions at his side was whipping his horse and galloping back towards the way he came, apparently returning to report the news.

Shen Peng heard what the Mongolian knight said "prince" in his ears, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, and said in his heart: Although Nahachu is self-respecting in Liaodong, he is still nominally controlled by the Mobei Yuan Court and has not been called the king. He knew that his caravan was full of men, coachmen, and full of goods, and the march was slow, and even the Mongol knights of two hundred-man teams could easily catch up and kill all his thousands of merchants, so he had no choice but to lead the convoy and follow the knight who was talking to him. What is the name of His Royal Highness the Prince of your family? He knew that these nomadic tribes did not have as much red tape as the Central Plains Dynasty, so he also asked bluntly.

When the Mongol knight heard this, he replied, "My prince's name is Tuhuan, and we are from the Oirat tribe. ”

Zhu Quan and Xu Ying were sitting in the car not far from Shen Peng at this time, Zhu Quan couldn't understand what Shen Peng and the Mongolian knight said, so he immediately asked, Xu Ying heard Shen Peng's answer truthfully, but he was silent for a moment, and said softly to Zhu Quan: "I heard my father say before, the Mongols are actually just a general term, which is divided into hundreds of tribes of all sizes, and this Oirat tribe seems to be called "Forest Mongolia", also known as "Forest People", the elite of the Mongolian army in the era of Genghis Khan, a considerable part of them belong to this tribe. ”

Zhu Quan couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he heard this, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang talk about it in Yingtian, at this time, the Mongolian tribes still nominally obeyed the "holy decree" of the Northern Yuan Emperor of Mobei, Togus Timur, could the prince of the Oirat tribe be dispatched by the Northern Yuan Emperor to lead a large army to reinforce Nahachu in Liaodong?

The convoy marched for more than half an hour, the horses galloped in front, hundreds of Mongolian knights came from afar, Zhu Quan and Xu Ying have martial arts, eyesight far beyond ordinary people, to see the group of Mongolian knights in the head of one person, there is a knight wearing a plain white shirt girl appearance, galloping on horseback, obviously extremely superb riding skills, can't help but be stunned, the heart invariably thought, these Mongolians claim to grow on horseback, it is true that our Han women pay attention to grace and quiet, If you gallop on a prancing horse in public like this, I'm afraid it will be shocking to the world.

In the blink of an eye, the group of Mongolian knights rushed to Shen Peng, a sturdy young knight in his twenties, brightly dressed and armored, arched his hand to Shen Peng and said: "Dare to ask, but Mr. Shen, in the lower Weilat Department, Tuhuan has been waiting here for many days, please follow me to the big tent for a while." ”

Zhu Quan, Xu Ying, and Shen Peng couldn't help but light up when they saw this dejoyment, it turned out that this young man was slender, with a pair of big eyes and bright eyes, upright facial features, and the corners of his mouth were angular. At this time, listening to this dejoyous conversation was quite gentle, not as rough as an ordinary Mongolian knight, and my heart increased my favor to him.

Shen Peng also secretly wondered in his heart, he had a lot of contact with Nahachu's subordinates in Liaodong, but it was also the first time he saw such a person in this Mongolian Tartar, he couldn't help but secretly scream, and was about to speak, but he heard a low exclamation from the girl beside Tuohuan, and the white shadow flickered, and he rode his horse to Zhu Quan's car. Everyone's eyes were involuntarily attracted by this girl at this time.

I saw that this girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a plain white silk dress, her skin was like condensation, her face was like a morning glow, her big eyes were extremely smart, and her appearance was extremely beautiful.

At this time, the girl's eyes fell on the mount that Zhu Quan was riding on, the body of "dark clouds covering snow", she was a person who loved good horses very much, and at this time, seeing the horse that was one of the thousands, she couldn't bear it, turned over and dismounted and came closer, and stretched out her five fingers towards the black and smooth fur, and wanted to caress it.

"Dark Cloud Cover Snow" is arrogant by nature, since the two guys kicked him, no one dared to approach Zhu Quan and Xu Ying's car, at this time, seeing that this strange girl wanted to touch herself, her temper suddenly flareed up, and she didn't care about any pity for the jade, she turned on one side, raised her back and kicked it.

The girl in white was familiar with horse nature, she smiled and jumped away, her heart became more and more fond of it, she turned her head to Zhu Quan in the car, Xu Ying blinked, and asked softly, "This horse is yours?" ”

Zhu Quan saw that this girl's eyes were full of love for the "dark clouds and snow", and he laughed in his heart, and said in his heart: This little girl is still a person with affection and sex, and she knows what she likes at a glance. was about to speak, but he heard Xu Ying beside him answer coldly: "Yes, this horse is mine." ”

Dehuan has been waiting for this Shen Peng for many days, but at this time, he interrupted this girl, which was also ridiculous, and when he heard the words, he said in Chinese: "Little sister, don't mess around." ”

The girl in white shook her head stubbornly when she heard this, pointed her finger "dark clouds cover snow", and said to Xu Ying: "This horse is so good, can you give it to me?" As he spoke, his eyes were full of anticipation.

Xu Ying couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and Zhu Quan looked at each other, it turned out that the ancients at this time were extremely respectful and self-respecting, that is, they loved other people's things very much, and they couldn't make a look of envy, and people had to refrain from sending things repeatedly, where had they ever seen such a straightforward act of asking for someone to ask for and begging, let alone a woman.

Xu Ying groaned slightly when she heard this, and replied, "No." Although she still refused, but her expression was no longer as indifferent as Fang Cai's rejection of people thousands of miles away, she had heard her father Xu Da tell about the cruelty of the Mongols since she was a child, fierce, and she had a preconceived impression of all Mongolians in her heart, and now the refusal of a pleasant face is not easy.

Zhu Quan saw that this girl was dressed as a Han girl, and her coquettish posture was complete, as if she was a sister who was one year younger than herself, and secretly called luck in her heart, and said in her heart: Fortunately, Xu Ying agreed first, if it was me, I was afraid that I would send this horse out if I was soft-hearted.

The girl in white was pampered by her father and brother, and it was just a sentence to ask for something rare, and the matter of being coquettish would be solved, but Xu Ying refused at this time, and she was very unwilling, so she said: "How about I exchange two hundred sheep with you?" ”

Xu Ying and Zhu Quan have experienced a night of pursuit and killing after the blue jade army was attacked by the night, and they have deeply understood that such a good horse as "dark clouds cover snow" is equivalent to most of the life for the master, so naturally he still shook his head and refused, but his eyes avoided the girl, glanced at Zhu Quan who was smiling on the side, and said in his heart: If you change this guy, your brain will be hot, and you can't help the soft words of such warblers and Yanyan, but I am afraid that if you don't exchange cattle and sheep, you will have to give it to others for nothing.

Tuohuan knew that his sister had a small temperament, and even his father was helpless, so he ignored it, talked to Shen Peng, and led a huge caravan forward, but he secretly wondered in his heart, and said in his heart: The two of them saw that the little sister was noble, but they still refused with words, and their origins were very different from this Shen Peng. It turned out that he had just stopped his sister's actions, but he was selfish, in his opinion, a business traveler like Shen Peng, pay attention to harmony and make money, a good horse that is difficult to change, is far less important than the son of the tribal leader who crosses the grassland, and it is far more important to have a good relationship, but these two people obviously know the identity of their sister but do not bargain, obviously will not agree to the exchange, it is really not in line with the behavior of a businessman.
