The journey was hard, everyone was exhausted, and they couldn't wait to sleep when they were full of wine and food.

When I woke up, it was already dawn.

Mobatu and the other shepherds boiled milk tea for everyone to drink, so that the people of the Kurama fatigue could regain their strength.

On behalf of the mission, Lu Shouwen took silver and gave it to Mobatu and the others to thank them for their hospitality.

However, they insisted on not accepting it, and politely rejected everyone's kindness.

"You have come from afar, it is our duty to entertain friends, and if you have no money, spread it out and make the herdsmen on the grassland laugh." Mobatu stayed away, taking everything they had done for granted.

After resting for half a day by the lake with abundant water and grass, the mission team set off again.

After walking a short distance, a camp with dozens of tents appeared in front of you, which looked like a lively bazaar.

"The farthest I can get here is that the private transactions between the Dawu Dynasty and the people of Beihu are all carried out here, and I have never been there before." Dong E recalled the laughter and laughter with her family, and became a little sad.

Fortunately, there are more Mobatu in the team, and he is not afraid of getting lost.

Mobatu was warm-hearted, handed over his cattle and sheep to other shepherds to graze, and personally led the way.

Gu Shengchao was curious and asked, "The last time Brother Mobatu sent an envoy to my Dawu Dynasty, he must have been an official of the imperial court, why do you have to herd cattle and sheep by yourself?" Brother, don't blame, I just don't know the customs of Beihu, just ask. ”

"It doesn't matter." Mobatu smiled and didn't mind: "Every family in our Beihu family has cattle, sheep and horses, there are different pastures in winter and summer, grazing on weekdays, in case of war or need to go on an expedition, we only need to ride our own war horses with the army, the royal court will prepare simple armor for us at most, and heavy iron horses are a minority after all." Riding on a horse to fight and returning home to shepherd the sheep saved a lot of trouble. ”

With such a cavalry that comes and goes like the wind, it is no wonder that in the confrontation with the Dawu Dynasty for many years, it has always had the upper hand.

The seemingly relaxed answer made Gu Shengchao solemn.

He was afraid that the other party would see through his thoughts, so he deliberately interrupted and said: "You are also strange here, when you came, there was a section of the road that was full of desert, but when you arrived here, there was lush pasture, cattle and sheep everywhere, I don't know why?" ”

"Brothers don't know, Beihu east by the sea often has warm wind blowing, the north is far away is the ocean, the west across the snow-capped mountains and peaks, so the rivers here are vertical and horizontal, lakes are everywhere, but also the treasure land of abundant water and grass. It's just that cold winds often invade and frosts are more frequent. ”

After listening to Mobatu's explanation, everyone understood that it was the special terrain that created the unique climate here.

The long procession of the ambassadors made their way through the bustling bazaar, drawing the sideways glances of the people who were trading.

After two days of smooth travel, they came to Baisha City, which was famous for Beihu and even the Dawu Dynasty.

It is better to call it a city than a fortress.

Along the way, the grassland is full of all kinds of tents, round or square, which are easy to dismantle and convenient for herdsmen to convert pastures for migration, and they have never seen fixed houses repaired with bricks and stones.

Baisha City is different, it is all white from a distance, and against the blue sky and green grass, it looks very abrupt, as if it has risen from the soil and grows on the grassland.

When I got closer, I found that the wall was still made of ordinary mud, but the wall was covered with a large number of shells, and when viewed from a distance, it showed a unique white color.

"How can there be so many shells here so far from the sea?" The ancient saint Chao Nahan, ask Mobatu for advice.

Scratching his head, Mobatu also looked ignorant: "No one knows, only here I don't know how many shells are buried in the depths, and the vast grassland has never been found elsewhere." It is said that the castle was built at that time, and countless shells were dug up, and by the way, they were used to decorate the walls, hence the name. ”

Mobatu went to the city and contacted the inside, and after a while, many people came out to help set up tents outside the city.

"There are so many people here at once, and there are not enough rooms inside, so I can only grieve you for a few nights." Mobatu was embarrassed to explain.

The desert had lost a lot of baggage, but now there were plenty of tents, and the people were satisfied.

The Dawu Dynasty delegation visited, and Baisha City slaughtered cattle and sheep to be warmly entertained.

At night, under the bright starry sky, bonfires are lit on the grassland to entertain guests from afar.

Wan Yan Chun, the lord of Baisha City, led his subordinates out of the city and personally received the members of the mission.

Gu Shengchao looked carefully, but did not find the familiar Xian Yutie, so he asked Mobatu.

"Brother Xian Yutie went to the royal court, and he hasn't been in Baisha City recently." Mobatu told him.

Mobatu can speak the words of the Dawu Dynasty, most of the others in Beihu can't, and the two sides don't understand each other's languages, but fortunately, there are interpreters in the mission, so there can be no barriers to communication.

Everyone drank happily, and Mobatu sat next to Gu Shengchao and introduced himself one by one in a low voice.

It turned out that there were four great warriors in Baisha City, known as the Four Heroes of the Grassland, Xian Yutie and Qiyan Jida went to the royal court, and the city lord Wan Yan Chun brought the other two warriors to attend the dinner.

Quietly pointing to the person who was drinking, Mobatu said in a low voice: "The bearded man is called Chang Qiu Didi, and the one who eats meat next to him is called Yelu Gu, they are the four great warriors of our grassland." ”

The ancient saint is over the jaw.

Unexpectedly, Chang Qiu Didi's eyes swept over, and the sharp eyes of an eagle locked on Gu Shengchao.

Mobatu raised the wine bowl to show his respect, Chang Qiu Didi just nodded at him, stood up with the wine bowl and said: "I heard that there are many martial artists in your Dawu Dynasty, and tonight on behalf of the warriors on the grassland wants to compete with you, I don't know which one is willing to give you a lesson." ”

The voice is strong, and it oscillates far away at the lively dinner, and Chang Qiudidi's internal strength is extraordinary.

Lu Shouwen smiled and stopped: "We have come from afar all the way to hardship, we are all tired, we just drink tonight, the knife and gun are not long-sighted, no matter who is injured, it is not appropriate, another day, another day will definitely accompany us." ”

His weak attitude aroused the fighting spirit of the other party, and Chang Qiu Didi said disdainfully: "No wonder our Beihu and your Dawu Dynasty have won in the past conflicts on the border, and in the end, we have won, I have always been puzzled, and today I finally found the answer." ”

Seeing that the other party sat down again and looked arrogant, Gu Sheng stood up with great emotion: "I am not talented, I am willing to learn this warrior's kung fu." ”

Lu Shouwen waved his hand and dissuaded: "Our mission came to Beihu to discuss trade matters between the two countries, not to fight, Shengchao sit down, I know what you think." After all, we came from afar, all of them are dusty, which one is injured and I feel distressed, and if I can't bear it, I will make a big plan, plan and then act, and know how to stop and gain. ”

Although reluctant, Gu Shengchao was about to sit down according to the arrangement.

The city lord Wan Yanchun smiled and said: "We don't understand what you say, anyway, our Beihu just speaks with strength, which one has big strength and hard fists, we will listen to whom, right?" ”

"The lord of the city is wise!"

"That's what the city lord said!"

"We speak from strength!"

The people below chimed in, making the members of the mission a little unable to raise their heads.

Unable to swallow this breath, Gu Shengchao drank it all, put the wine bowl upside down on the table, and said angrily: "Okay, let's speak with strength, you arrange, and I will compare with you." ”

"Refreshing."

Wan Yanchun said happily: "We have wooden knives and guns for training, and weapons can be selected at will, so we can drink and have fun tonight." ”

"Serve the wine, this brother and I will have a good drink first."

Chang Qiu Didi waved his hand, and some people lined up more than ten sea bowls, each full of mellow wine.

"Brother, please."

Chang Qiu Didi took the lead in picking up a bowl of wine and drinking it.

Gu Shengchao was not to be outdone, and followed his example and drank a bowl of "goo-goo-goo".

The two of you come and go, and a long row of wine bowls must be drunk in a moment.

"Happy!" Chang Qiu Didi stretched out his thumbs to show approval.

Some people brought all kinds of wooden weapons, fearing that they would not be at ease, and the sharp points were wrapped in animal skins to prevent anyone from being injured.

Chang Qiu Didi picked up a spear and held it in his palm, waved his hand and said, "This brother, please choose a blade." ”

Several artifacts that are rumored in the rivers and lakes, such as the Ruyi Hook, the Qingyun Sword, the Dragon Yin Spear, and the Shadowless Knife, are the treasures of the respective sects of several major sects.

They are: the Ruyi Hook of the Martial King Palace, the Qingyun Sword of the Yunqi Palace, the Dragon Singing Spear of Baisha City, and the Shadowless Knife of the Dark Moon Hall.

Among them, the shadowless knife of the Dark Moon Hall is the most mysterious, except for the user, no one knows what it looks like, because no one can escape from the knife, so naturally there is no way to know.

Chang Qiudidi chose the gun, and it seems that he got the true inheritance of Baisha City.

The wooden weapons were scattered all over the place, and Gu Shengchao came to the front and found a wooden sword at random, held it in his left hand and danced a sword flower and said: "That's it, it's also handy." ”

Seeing that the two of them were going to test their kung fu, the central government quickly cleared out a field that was enough for the two of them to use.

Worried about Gu Shengchao's injury, Lu Shouwen stood up and said in a loud voice: "Everyone is full of internal strength, flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, I suggest that only the moves are not fought for internal strength, do you say okay?" ”

"Okay."

The city lord Wan Yan Chun immediately agreed, and settled down: "You just need to point to the end, and you must not hurt the guests from afar." ”

Listening to their respective tones, it was clear that they did not take the people of the mission seriously, and thought that victory would be easy.

In order to make it clear to the onlookers, bonfires were lit around the venue, and wooden stakes were added to insert torches.

The two people in the field arched their hands to each other, and Chang Chudidi shook his spear and stabbed it like a dragon out of water.

The spear was menacing, Gu Shengchao turned sideways, and his left hand used the phoenix dance sword technique to slash at the opponent's fingers against the barrel of the gun.

Chang Qiu Didi was not panicked, the spear danced like a flying dragon shuttling through the clouds, shaking Gu Shengchao's sword, and then swept away, with the momentum of a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring.

Having mastered the Feng Dance Sword Technique, Gu Shengchao rarely uses it, and this is a good time to test the effect.

The fierce wind came to his face, the spear was close at hand, and the wooden sword in Gu Shengchao's hand was lightly pressed against the barrel of the gun, and then he took advantage of the rapid strength of the spear to provoke it.

Coincidentally, he broke a thousand catties, causing the opponent's spear to lose control and throw it behind Chang Qiudidi.

This move was unexpected by Chang Chudidi, and he was also surprised, but fortunately, he had been immersed in the spear for many years, and turned around to stabilize the spear by feeling.

In this way, his back was all exposed to Gu Shengchao.

It should be a big taboo to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Gu Shengchao was also overjoyed, he was afraid of the other party's face, and planned to use the wooden sword to lightly touch Chang Qiu Didi's back and retreat, just in response to the city lord's explanation of Yan Chun.

Seeing that the wooden sword was about to touch the opponent's back, the spear that had already been thrown away came out from under Chang Qiu Didi's armpit, and flew straight towards Gu Shengchao's chest.

Back to the carbine!

In addition to being frightened, Gu Shengchao didn't have time to use the Iron Arm Divine Skill to protect himself.
