Chapter 402 [Prairie Storm]

"Ahh

Chen Daolin sneezed fiercely. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)

Of course, Darlinggo didn't know that his identity had been exposed because of a small mistake.

I don't know that at this moment, the mistress of the tulip family in Loulan City is cursing herself through gritted teeth.

The reason for his sneezing was really just...... The wind and sand are too big.

Lu Gao's "sleep therapy" is indeed very effective, the only regret is that he sleeps too much.

When Chen Daolin woke up for the third time, he and Lu Gao were already in the desert.

He reacted immediately, Lu Gao had already walked out of the border of the Roland Empire with himself!

In the whole Roland 6, there is only one place where there is a desert.

From the territory of the Tulip family of the empire, go further northwest, through a natural gap in the northwest of the Kilimaro Mountains in the empire, which is commonly known as the "Northwest Corridor", from this corridor canyon across the Kilimaro Mountains, it is considered to have left the border of the Roland Empire.

Outside the Northwest Corridor, you will enter a desert area that is not too small and small, and this desert area used to be a buffer zone between the Roland Empire and the steppe aliens. The more this desert is, the more it officially enters the northwest grassland, and comes to the pasture where these nomads live.

Chen Daolin sat on the horse's back, his body undulating and bumping with the horse's back, swaying and looking at the sky.

The yellow sand is all over the sky, and this summer when you run into the desert, it is simply the rhythm of looking for abuse, especially in the evening, when there is a strong wind, it seems that there is a small sandstorm coming. Although the mouth and nose have been covered with a cloth, they still can't resist the sand from burrowing into their mouths, but after a long time, they feel that their mouths are full of sand, and their noses are uncomfortable.

"I said......" Chen Daolin couldn't help but complain loudly to Lu Gao: "Are you a top powerhouse, even break the space." Teleportation can be done over long distances, where do you want to take me, it can be done in minutes, why do you have to travel so long distances and eat sand here?"

Lu Gao rode a horse in front of Chen Daolin, and when he heard Darling's shout, he turned around. Glancing at this guy: "First, it takes a lot of effort to cut the space. Second, don't you think that if you take shortcuts in everything, you will miss out on a lot of scenery? Third, don't you feel like you are here to bask in the sun and blow the wind. Letting the sand massage your skin actually feel quite a unique flavor?4...... Lao Tzu is willing, you bite me!"

“......”

Hearing the last sentence Lu Gao said, Chen Daolin was speechless.

This guy is simply mentally ill!!

That's it, if you don't have the ability to tear down the eaves, you should lower your proud head!

Blowing this otherworldly wind and sand. Chen Daolin finally couldn't stand it anymore. He ripped the mask off his face - damn it, he ate sand anyway!

Poor and bored, probably because of the grief and indignation in his heart, Brother Darling was happy, and simply let go of his voice and sang.

"How sad can you be, the goddess kicks you and doesn't look back!

How ugly can you be, with a crooked nose and slanted eyes like a dog!

Ask how much worry you can have, and you can get two taels of oil out of one fart!

Ask how much bitterness you can have. You deserve to by yourself for the rest of your life!

Ask how many injuries you can have, and use it up before pushing!"

Chen Daolin sang hoarsely, Lu Gao listened to it in front, and then looked back at this guy: "You ghost crying wolf, what are you singing?"

Chen Daolin smiled humbly: "I am singing the praises of your great festival......"

Lu Gao and others, as soon as they saw this guy's smiling sneer, they knew that this guy was definitely not singing a good thing. Most of it is a vicious curse on oneself.

And Lu Gao's response is also straightforward and rude!

He grabbed the horsewhip, and with a bang, he whipped it over! Although Chen Daolin wanted to hide, he saw the horsewhip on his body. But his body was instantly locked by an invisible force, and he couldn't move at all, so he let the whip whipped on his body, and with a snap, he was immediately whipped on his right hand, and the back of his hand was swollen high on the spot.

"Put away your fangs and teeth, and if you dare to scream, the next whip will fall on your face. ”

Chen Daolin had no choice but to shut up and remain silent, but the slander in his heart was three times more powerful.

In the afternoon of the next day, I finally walked out of the desert.

I watched as some sparse vegetation gradually appeared on the ground, and slowly I could see some green, and the further I went, the desolation around me gradually faded.

In the afternoon, the two of them were already on the grassland!

Chen Daolin has never been to the grasslands in the real world - the Celestial Empire in the real world, and most of the traditional grassland areas in the north have been sandy due to environmental damage.

This kind of green grass like the sea, and the endless scenery suddenly made Chen Daolin's heart feel infinite emotion! I only felt that looking at this grassland from afar, even my mind was much broader.

Lu Gao seemed to be excited, and suddenly he shouted, kicked the horse's belly hard, and galloped forward!

Chen Daolin also came to be interested, his equestrian skills have improved a lot, at least in this kind of open and unobstructed place, the horse gallop is also competent, seeing Lu Gao galloping away, Chen Daolin also shouted, urging the horses to run and chase after him.

When a man is on horseback, when the horse is fully galloping, it is like sitting on the crest of a wave, up and down. Chen Daolin only felt that the wind was whistling in his ears, and there was a strong smell of grass in his mouth and nose, and he became more and more excited.

Watching Lu Gao run farther and farther, quickly pulling away the distance, Chen Daolin was refreshed for a while, and finally slowly slowed down the horse and slowly walked on this grassland.

He didn't want to take the opportunity to run away...... With Lu Gao's ability, even if he ran farther, if he dared to take the opportunity to escape, he would definitely be caught and beaten.

The steppe was more sparsely populated than the northwest of the empire, and a day of horseback riding did not necessarily lead to a herdsman's family.

Lu Gao seemed to be extremely familiar with the grassland, and took Chen Daolin all the way to the depths of the grassland. After only one night's walk, in the morning, I came across a small tribe of herdsmen.

The tribe is obviously very small, with only seven or eight families, and there are only a few dozen people in total, including adults and children. However, there are a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, Chen Daolin took a rough look. I saw at least a thousand herds of cattle driven in the distance......

When the two approached the tribe, two young herdsmen rode over on horseback, and when the two approached, Chen Daolin appeared, these two "young people" can only be regarded as half-grown children, but these herdsmen work all year round and are very precocious. Although these two children had the appearance of children, they were already very stout. Especially a man who rides a dark horse with broad shoulders, and thinks that he must be a good man when he grows up.

As the two and a half children approached, they asked a few words in a loud voice, and Lu Gao walked in front. Answer in the interracial language of the steppe.

I don't know what Lu Gao said, but after the two and a half children heard it, they suddenly became much more enthusiastic, shouted loudly, and led the two into the tribe.

When the two men came to the tent and dismounted, they were greeted by herdsmen, who had spoken a few words to the two and a half children. Then someone soon came and took away Chen Daolin and Lu Gao's horses.

Lu Gao didn't stop him, but just strode into the tent with his hands in his hands.

Seeing Lu Gao like this, Chen Daolin naturally relaxed and followed him into the tent.

The herdsmen's tents were filled with a peculiar stench, like the strong smell of livestock's fur. But Chen Daolin naturally didn't care about this, and sat on a piece of felt with Lu Gao, and two blushing women brought two bowls of turbid liquid, and Chen Daolin glanced at it. I seem to smell a little bit of wine, but I hesitate a little when I look at the cloudy color.

Lu Gao laughed, took a sip and drank it all, then put down the bowl and glanced at Chen Daolin with a frown.

Chen Daolin sighed, and drank it like Lu Gao. The entrance is not as unpleasant as expected.

It's a wine, but it's a little too low, and it tastes a bit like rice wine in the real world - only it's not as sweet, it's more sour. There is also a milky smell.

Obviously, there is no surplus grain on the grassland to make wine, these wines are probably those bad wines sold from the Roland Empire, and after being sold to the grasslands, these herdsmen don't know what processing they have done, most of them are adding some mare's milk or goat's milk or something.

Chen Daolin and Lu Gao were warmly welcomed by the herdsmen, who gave them some food such as jerky and flour cakes, but the peculiar "milk wine" was not delivered.

Chen Daolin was grateful, but also secretly relieved in his heart. After coming to the Roland Empire, Chen Daolin has been dressed and fed all the way these days, even if he migrated with tens of thousands of people in the northwestern Nulin Province, and the road was hard, he never treated his mouth badly. He's a magician, and he's stocked with a lot of supplies in his storage ring, and he never stops eating along the way.

Nowadays, this inferior milk wine is really difficult for Darlinggo to eat.

Lu Gao saw it in his eyes and sneered: "I don't know the hearts of good people!" Do you think this wine can be drunk by anyone on the grassland? Hmph, the grassland does not produce grain, so naturally there is no way to make wine, and those low-grade inferior wines sold from the Roland Empire can be sold at a high price on the grassland. But the men on the grassland are addicted to alcohol and can't afford to drink it, so the bad wine they bought can only be mixed with light, or added mare's milk and goat's milk to drink. Even so, ordinary herdsmen's families, such bad wine is not drunk every day, only occasionally, the head of the household can drink a bowl by himself, and the rest of the family does not have this treatment. It's just that the people here are hospitable, and they can't give everything they have to the guests, so we drank these two bowls of wine, but we were afraid that the owner of this herdsman would have to endure it for ten days and not be able to drink it anymore. ”

Chen Daolin's eyes widened: "So precious?"

"What do you say?" Lu Gao said coldly: "The grassland people are pitiful, born in this land, and the grain production is very small. Although there is wine in the Roland Empire, no matter how cheap the wine is, it has been sold all the way here, and the cost of transportation along the way is too great, and the cost will be higher if people eat and chew. On the grassland, the worst kind of Roland Empire's wine can be exchanged for ten fat sheep in one small barrel! We drank half a sheep in two bowls. ”

Seeing Chen Daolin bow his head and remain silent, Lu Gaocai sighed: "Knowing that it is not easy for others, don't live up to the kindness of others." ”

In fact...... Where is Chen Daolin, a slut, sighing, he is simply thinking quickly in his heart!

(The wine in the grassland is so expensive, and the wine sold here is so profitable, if I wait for my grain harvest and sell the wine here, wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money...... ）

If Lu Gao knew what this guy thought, he was afraid that he would kick this slut out of the tent with one kick.

Chen Daolin thought for a while before raising his head. smiled: "You should also look like a Roland person, why do you seem to have such feelings for this grassland people......

Lu Gao snorted, his face turned cold, Chen Daolin thought that he was going to be angry again, and felt that he was going to suffer again-but after Lu Gao snorted, he sighed again, and his tone was rarely calm:

"I had no idea where I was born. I was in Daisetsuzan when I was very young, and for as long as I can remember, I've known that I was on Daisetsuzane. When I was young, I often secretly ran down the mountain with my brothers and sisters to find local herdsmen to exchange for something fun and delicious. So...... I never considered myself an outsider. ”

Chen Daolin listened, and finally felt a little strange in his heart.

This ruthless and unruly eccentric. It seems that at this moment, it is rare to reveal a bit of human touch.

The owner of this herdsman family is extremely hospitable.

During the meal, the host personally came to accompany the two and talked for a while.

The owner of the herdsman was a man in his thirties -- but because of his hard work, he looked as if he was almost fifty years old, but his body was very strong.

What surprised Chen Daolin even more was that the owner of this household could actually speak Roland - for more than 100 years, the Tulip family had been dominating all over the grassland. A large number of Roland caravans entered and exited the grassland, and gradually the grassland became civilized, especially here is the edge of the grassland, close to the desert area, and the herders here have more contact with the Rolanders, so it is not too unusual to speak some Roland language.

The owner's name is Moisa, and he has the typical boldness of a steppe herdsman. When the three of them were eating, the women and children of the family were kicked out of the tent, and Chen Daolin saw two and a half children hiding outside the tent, secretly looking at the food on the table, with a blank look.

He couldn't bear it in his heart, so he grabbed a roast leg of lamb and beckoned to the two children.

Those two children are clearly hungry. But he gritted his teeth hard and refused to come up, especially the older one, and pulled his younger brother hard. Then the two simply turned around and ran away.

Chen Daolin sighed, put down the leg of mutton, and had already made up his mind in his heart that he would not treat the master of the household badly when he left.

Lu Gao chatted with this herdsman named Moisa there--I couldn't see that this strongman with a strange temperament was extraordinarily pleasant in the face of these ordinary steppe herdsmen, and between his words and attitudes, he did not treat Chen Dao with all kinds of bad treatment at that time, and the two talked about happy places, and the herdsman even raised his hand and patted Lu Gao on the shoulder a few times.

This move almost didn't make Chen Daolin's eyes fall!

"It seems that the days have not been easy lately?" said Lu Gao, and then suddenly asked, "This is close to the desert, and there are caravans of the Rolands, so it should be ......"

Moisa sighed, frowned tightly, slapped his thigh, and said indignantly: "This summer, the caravan of the Roland people is half less than in previous years. I didn't bring as much as I did in previous years. And we need less and less iron tools. I heard that it was the new king who offended the tulip owner in the east. If you continue like this, if you can't buy enough salt before autumn, and when it snows, you'll be sad this winter. There are also some cattle and sheep, if there is no merchant to buy them, I am afraid that before the winter, a batch will be slaughtered. ”

Chen Daolin was puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to slaughter it?"

Moisa glanced at Chen Daolin, first frowned, and then said with a smile: "Is it the first time for the guests to come to the grassland? When the winter comes, no one has anything to eat, the grass is withered, where is the thing to feed the cattle and sheep? We can only pick the strongest ones and keep them, and those who are weaker have to be slaughtered in order not to waste food." ”

Chen Daolin nodded, finally understood.

There is no refrigerator or other freezing storage technology in this world.

Even in winter, when a large number of cattle and sheep are slaughtered, they will rot over time. Moreover, although there are some ways to marinate meat, if the Roland caravan does not sell enough salt or spices, the meat cannot be cured...... When the time comes, the slaughtered cattle and sheep can only eat by themselves. But the family tried so hard to eat as much as they could, and in the end, they wasted it and had to throw it all away.

As soon as Chen Daolin's heart moved, he secretly kept this matter in his heart.

"There seems to be a lot of news on the grassland recently?" Lu Gao seemed to quietly pick up a bowl of milk tea and took a sip: "I heard that the flag is being erected in the western royal court." ”

When Moisa heard this, the sadness on his face became thicker, he put down the bowl heavily, and said in a low voice: "The new king of the royal court has sent envoys to run all over the grassland, and almost all the tribes have received the will of the king of the grassland, and I heard that more than a dozen tribes have accepted the will of the king of the grassland, and sent the most well-armed warriors to the royal court to assemble. We are far away from the royal court, but there is no movement for the time being. But if ...... If in a few days, we will not be able to get supplies for the winter, but I am afraid that even I will have to ride a horse with a bow and arrows, and take my two sons to serve in the royal court together. After all, if you work for the King of the Prairie, you can still get some spoils. ”

Chen Daolin was curious and asked, "Is this going to be a war? Who is that grassland king going to fight? Is there a tribe rebelling?"

Moisa's expression suddenly became strange, and he looked at Chen Daolin and did not speak.

Lu Gao said coldly: "Who else can you beat." First fight those small tribes who don't listen to the king of the steppe, and rob them of their supplies to survive the winter. If those small tribes are exhausted and they can't grab enough supplies for the winter, then they will have to go east!"

To the east?

Chen Daolin's heart jumped!

Isn't that ...... Going to fight the Roland Empire...... Ah, to be exact, to fight the tulip house?!

However, isn't the Tulip family very famous on the grassland? The king of the grassland has to look at the face of the Tulip family to live.

Lu Gao shook his head: "If everyone can eat their stomachs, then it's easy to say anything." But if you are hungry, then you can't take care of anything that is prestige or not. Struggling to survive is the number one priority. It's really getting to that point...... What's more, the relationship between the new king of the grassland generation and the tulip family seems to be not as harmonious as in previous years. ”

There seems to be something going on here. Chen Daolin made a judgment, but Lu Gao didn't say anything, and he didn't want to ask too much.

However, Chen Daolin made a decision in his heart, after he went back this time, he must think of sending more people to inquire about the news here in the grassland. It seems that this place is a very potential financial resource area.

As for whether the steppe people will really invade the Roland Empire...... Chen Daolin was not worried at all.

What are you afraid of when the dignified Tulip family stands in front of you? What kind of power is the Tulip family, if even these steppe barbarians can't stop it...... Wouldn't that be laughing off the big teeth?

Lu Gao chatted with Moisa for a while, and then suddenly asked again: "Has the conscription order of the Golden Headed Wolf King's court been issued? All the tribes have obeyed this Golden Headed Wolf King? So do you know what the White King means? Does he also support the Steppe King's war?"

Moisa's face suddenly turned pale, his hands were folded, he said something in his mouth, his face was very pious, and then he said slowly: "The great white king has not issued any decree. It's just that...... I have heard from messengers in the past that the envoy of the King of the Prairie has been to the White King's tent, and after he returned, the King of the Prairie has issued a conscription order, but there has been no news from the White King. It is said that since the White King did not object, he was in favor. ”

White King?

This title made Chen Daolin stunned.

On the grassland, in addition to the grassland king, what other white king is there?
