"Why is this racetrack so close to artillery?" Jeanne asked, "Didn't you say that it was not safe near the artillery?" ”

"We've got to train these horses so they're not afraid of artillery." Guo Kang explained: "In these years, qualified legion horses must be the same as people, not afraid of the unique roar of various firearms. Lest a cannon fired in front of them scare them away. ”

"I see." Jeanne nodded, and saw another rider galloping from a distance.

The visitor had long hair, gold ornaments on his forehead, a white robe, and rode a green horse. In a cloud of smoke and dust from the horse's hooves, the rider opened his bow left and right, hitting the bull's-eye again and again. The other riders watched and applauded in unison.

"This son is heroic and sassy." Zhu Wenkui also sighed: "It would be nice if my father recruited more people like this." ”

"Take a closer look." Jeanne said speechlessly.

"What's wrong?"

"This ...... This is not Childe. Guo Kang was slightly embarrassed and said: "People are women." ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Wenkui was dumbfounded.

The rider also seemed curious about them, and as he passed by, he turned his head to look at the siblings. Only then did Zhu Wenkui realize that this person had a beautiful face, and his body was not as thick as a man, and he was wearing a hair towel and tulle, and he was obviously a woman.

"It's okay, it's okay." Guo Kang said: "It's not to blame the world. She just came back from the Crimea, and you probably haven't seen her before. ”

"Oh." Jeanne nodded: "What's her name?" ”

"It's Keree Tsunasutu Ningning Baoyin Kosia Anastasia......" Guo Kang began to mutter.

"Wait, isn't it just one person?" Zhu Wenkui interrupted him.

"It's just a person. I'm not done yet. Guo Kang pointed out: "When a person is in many different cultural circles, it is normal to have a large list of names if you want to explain your identity. And in these cultural circles, the names are not short. ”

"Brother, you're not in a good state today, so don't talk......" Jeanne said, holding her forehead.

"But, it wasn't that long before, was it?" Zhu Wenkui, who made mistakes in a row, said unwillingly: "Guo Gongzi, what about your name?" ”

"I also have a local name, Konstantin. In fact, the 'Kang' in my name means Konstantin. You can think of this word as referring to both cities and people. Guo Kang replied: "It's just that in our generation, there are a little too many people called Constantine - or the pronunciation of the Greeks, called Constantine." So even the Greeks are used to calling me Guo Kang directly. ”

"...... like this"

"The Greek name of Dehuan is also called Constantine. Anyway, the phenomenon of duplicate names here is very serious, and I am going back and forth on these names. The situation is especially true in Rome because of its long history. Guo Kang thought for a while and said, "I remember that among the ancestors of the past dynasties, there were already ten people named Constantine. Look at what it looks like to have a new name. ”

"Brother, I've been in Europe for so long, so I don't have these common sense." Jeanne teased.

"I used to communicate with them in Chinese, where did I think so much." Zhu Wenkui argued: "Tuhuan has a Chinese name." ”

"Your brother is telling the truth." Guo Kang helped him play a round game: "On our side, including the kind of people who don't seem to be very literate, they all know Chinese and Chinese characters. Speaking of which, Dehuan's calligraphy is actually better than mine. ”

"Huh? It's really hard to see. Jeanne was amazed: "I think he looks like a Mongol, so he also learned this?" ”

"First of all, he is not like a Mongol. Although he looks like a Greek, he is technically a Mongol. Guo Kang had no choice but to refute the rumors: "Secondly, Mongolians are not unable to learn calligraphy. They also have a skinny gold master. ”

"That's ......"

"As for the girl just now, she also has a Chinese name, so you can just call her Li Anning."

"Where did she come from?" Jeanne asked curiously.

"She's the county lord of the Kerebu, and she's on the same level as you." Guo Kang said: "The Kerebu was one of the most powerful forces in the steppe, but it was later defeated by Genghis Khan and annexed. The people who remained in their homeland were scattered into thousands and hundreds of households in the subsequent reforms, and gradually lost their independent tribal identity and were absorbed by the Mongols. ”

"But before that, a group of people participated in the western expedition led by Jochi. These tribes who participated in the western expedition were not required to participate in the reorganization because of their distance, so the tribes were retained, and later became an important part of the Golden Horde. ”

"In the last years of the Golden Horde, there was no civil strife. And the Kerebu believed in Nestorian Christianity very early, and her branch has been passed down until now, so it was squeezed out and plundered by a number of Tianfang tribes. ”

"Later, when we joined forces with Uncle Timur to fight against Tokhtamysh, her grandfather gathered a group of people who were willing to follow us and joined us. After the war, Tokhtamysh was expelled and the local Golden Horde collapsed, and their tribe took the opportunity to migrate to the Volga region, and with our protection, they set up camp. ”

At that time, her family also began to marry the nobles of the Khan's court. Her maternal grandfather was Yelukhin, who was stationed in Kyiv. Guo Kang introduced her family.

"Oh, I'm quite impressed with him." Zhu Wenkui remembered: "It's the old man who says every day, 'I'm Chinese, so I don't believe in foreign religions.'" ”

"Yes, that's him." Guo Kang said with a smile: "On our side, he is the only one who insists on not believing in God worship, and he is not even willing to pretend." ”

"The cultural level of these two families is okay, especially on the Yelu side, and the content of the tutoring is similar to ours. The conditions in the pasture were not as good as in the city, so she went to school at her grandfather's house and was treated as her own by the Yelu clan. ”

Originally, when she was a child, in her hometown, there was a Christian name of Anastasia, but Yeluxin thought that it was too inappropriate to have a foreign name, so she took another Chinese name. You and her can also speak Chinese and write Chinese characters directly. ”

"What a good girl who is both civil and military." After Zhu Wenkui finished admiring, he turned his head and said to Jeanne: "See, don't talk about worshipping God all day long." People are also your parishioners, but their minds are very clear, and they are not as addicted as you. ”

"If you study hard, you don't have to worry about me so much, I won't have enough energy all day." He lectured with a headache on his face.

"I can also speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. What's wrong with this. Jeanne was not convinced.

"Do you know how to shoot arrows?" Zhu Wenkui asked rhetorically: "Mr. told me, you don't practice at all, and you don't remember the process of the township shooting ceremony......

"I-" Jeanne blushed suddenly, "What's wrong with not practicing?" Can't I go and practice firecrackers? The bow and arrow thing, seeing that it is about to be eliminated, what else do you have to learn. ”

"You get it again. What does it mean to be eliminated? Zhu Wenkui was also dissatisfied, and put on a brother's shelf: "Everyone learns, but if you don't learn, you are very capable!" ”

"It's about being eliminated! You old stubborn don't understand! ”

"Who do you say is stubborn?"

"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel......" Seeing that they were arguing inexplicably, Guo Kang had no choice but to fight again.
