Chapter 389: Huo Qingtong and the Hui Tribe
A hint of hesitation flashed in the girl's eyes, and she glanced at the deer that was crystal white all over, and even her eyes showed a pitiful look in a humane manner, and she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, "Childe ......"
"You don't know what to do, don't blame this son for being polite!" Murong Fu turned around abruptly, his eyes were cold like lightning, and the girl was so frightened that she couldn't help but take a step back.
But the girl still insisted: "Childe, please let the little girl say more." ”
Before she finished speaking, Murong Fu shook his body, and he was already in front of her, and reached out and pinched the white and delicate neck, "Aren't you afraid that I will really kill you?"
This scene happened suddenly, and everyone didn't react at all, until after a while, their faces changed drastically and they aimed their bows and arrows at Murong Fu again, and they called out something.
Although the girl in the yellow shirt was flushed, her eyes were very calm, she waved her hand to stop her subordinates who were about to riot, and stammered: "This is ...... It's already located in ...... Located in the Hui Department, the son is considered to be ...... Even if you get out of the snowy mountains...... I can't go back...... Central Plains. ”
Murong Fu's expression moved slightly, and the hand holding the girl's neck loosened a little, not because the girl said that he couldn't go back to the Central Plains, but because the sentence "located in the Hui Department" made him think of something.
"Ahem......" The girl coughed lightly twice, and couldn't help but complain secretly in her heart, this person looks dignified, like a scholar, how can he not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade......
"Tell me clearly, what kind of place is this?" asked Murong Fu.
"The Hui tribes south of the Tien Shan Mountains!" replied the girl.
Murong Fu looked the girl up and down, but saw that she was dressed in a yellow shirt, a little green on her head, her cheeks were flushed, the sun reflected the white clouds, her eyes were blazing, the stars were bright and the moon was bright, and there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, so she couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Are you surnamed Huo?"
The girl was slightly taken aback, but still nodded, "Yes, the little woman's surname is Huo, called Huo Qingtong!"
"It's really you!" Murong Fu blurted out, with a hint of joy in his tone.
"Childe has heard of the little girl?" Huo Qingtong was puzzled, although she was quite famous in the Hui Department, but she was only in the Hui Department, how could the people of the Central Plains know.
"Heh, the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'emerald green and yellow shirt', it's just you, girl!" Murong Fu's face changed to a pleasant expression, and his right hand unconsciously rubbed on Huo Qingtong's white neck.
Huo Qingtong frowned slightly, "Childe can let go of the little girl!"
"Haha, look at me, I'm really sorry, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, and I hope Miss Huo won't be surprised!" Murong Fu smiled, withdrew his hand, and apologized lightly.
Huo Qingtong looked at Murong Fu's appearance of "nothing happened just now", and couldn't help but feel an urge to smash it with a punch in her heart, but she still endured it with excellent cultivation, "Haven't asked Gongzi's surname yet?"
"Under Murong Fu, from Jiangnan!" Murong Fu said.
"Murong ......" Huo Qingtong muttered, and then seemed to think of something, and said meaningfully: "The surname Murong is very rare, as far as the little woman knows, only the Saiwaihu clan has the surname Murong. ”
Murong Fu's heart was slightly cold, he only knew that Huo Qingtong was both civil and military, and full of strategy, but he didn't expect that his knowledge was also extraordinary, and he smiled at the moment: "I don't know if the Saiwaihu clan has this surname, but my Murong family in Jiangnan has lived in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and it is absolutely impossible to have anything to do with them!"
secretly added in his heart, "Even if it really matters, whether you recognize it or not, it depends on how Lao Tzu feels." ”
Huo Qingtong pursed his lips and smiled, and no longer dwelled too much on this issue, and said simply: "Childe has come all the way to the Huibu, why don't you invite Childe to the tribe as a guest?"
If it was at the beginning, Murong Fu would naturally not agree, but now he couldn't ask for it, and agreed without hesitation.
For the current Murong family, martial arts masters are like crossing the river, there are countless people, but the generals who can lead the army to fight are extremely rare, which is also a headache for Murong Fu, and now that he has met Huo Qingtong, he has a faint idea in his heart, if he can turn this treasure to the Central Plains, it will be perfect.
Looking at Murong Fu's reaction, Huo Qingtong had an inexplicable sense of foreboding in his heart, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what the problem was, so he had to give up for the time being, thinking that with the master and his wife sitting in the Hui Ministry, he didn't expect him to make any big waves.
The group walked through the grove for about two or three miles to a camp.
Murong Fu glanced at the camp, a hint of surprise flashed on his face, a cavalry in the camp was drilling, there were about three hundred people, all of them were sturdy, their eyes were bright, and they were elite people at first glance.
But what really surprised him was not the soldiers, but the horses they were riding, which were about five or six feet tall, with a stout physique, thick fur, a large head and a long neck, typical of the best war horses.
"This is the Kazakh horse of my clan, with great strength, excellent endurance, no panic on the battlefield, and extremely brave!" Huo Qingtong on the side noticed Murong Fu's eyes, and explained with a smile, with a little arrogance in his tone.
Murong Fu nodded slightly, he has always wanted to cultivate an invincible cavalry, you must know that in this era of cold weapons, there is no doubt that the cavalry combat effectiveness is the first, but unfortunately there is everything in the Central Plains, but there are no high-grade war horses, so the cavalry plan has been put on hold.
Thinking about it, Murong Fu's mind became more and more active, "It would be nice if I could kidnap people and horses together......
There were also a dozen wagons full of goods parked in the camp.
Murong Fu skipped it directly, his eyes fell on the rather delicate carriage in the middle, glanced at Huo Qingtong next to him, and walked straight over.
Huo Qingtong saw Murong Fu's intentions and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
The beard that had been knocked out before had now been rescued, and he muttered beside Huo Qingtong for a while, but Huo Qingtong just shook his head and said lightly: "This person's martial arts are extremely high, and the two of me are not his opponents, even if you can't get along, don't offend." ”
The beard wanted to say something more, but Huo Qingtong interrupted: "Okay, it's not like there are no masters in our clan, it's okay, you clean up and set off as soon as possible, it's been too long." ”
Immediately, Huo Qingtong hesitated slightly, and followed Murong Fu into the carriage.
"Why, hasn't Miss Huo heard of 'lonely men and widows, melon fields and plums'?" Murong Fu had just sat down, and when he saw Huo Qingtong also walking up, he raised his eyebrows, and said with a slight smile.
"Hmph, I've always heard that the country of the Han people is known as a state of etiquette, but this man is inevitably a little shameless!" Huo Qingtong sneered, and said in his mouth: "Let the son laugh, the women on our grassland read less, but they don't pay so much attention!"
The words were sarcastic and mocking, which made Murong Fu's old face blush.
However, his expression immediately returned to naturalness, and he said with a smile: "This is very good, and I am not used to being too restrained." ”
Then he pointed to the vacant seat beside him, "Miss Huo, please take a seat, I just want to ask you to learn about the customs on the grassland!"
Huo Qingtong's face froze, this carriage was originally her exclusive carriage, there was only a small bed on the carriage, and the rest of the space was a table, she was just a little angry before she stepped into the carriage, but now it seems that this is obviously an extremely irrational behavior.
But when he turned around and got out of the car like this, he felt quite unhappy, he bit his silver teeth, and simply sat next to Murong Fu, but after sitting down, he opened up some distance without a trace.
Murong Fu was as if he didn't know, and asked about the folk customs on the grassland with great interest, and Huo Qingtong also knew everything, and for a while, the two looked like they were talking happily.
After some conversation, Murong Fu had a general understanding of the so-called Hui tribe, and combined with his own speculation, he came to some conclusions.
Although the Hui tribe is called a tribe, it is actually only because it follows the name of its ancestors, in fact, its strength is not small, much stronger than the small countries of Dali and Tubo, and even not much worse than the Western Xia.
Otherwise, it would not have been able to exist safely after the unification of Mongolia for so long, of course, there is also the reason why Genghis Khan was too ambitious and couldn't look down on the Hui Ministry, so he just handed it over to the King of Ruyang to deal with.
And the king of Ruyang had a headache for the affairs of Mingjiao, and he couldn't spare his hands.
That's why the Hui tribe has been dealing with Mongolia for so long.
And the reason why Huo Qingtong came to such a remote area this time was to escort supplies.
Originally, the territory of the Hui tribes was very special, in the form of a belt, so there was a huge difference in the environment between the east and the west, which led to some remote tribes being very poor and unable to eat.
At Huo Qingtong's suggestion, Mu Zhuolun, the leader of the Hui tribe, decided to send people to send some supplies to these small tribes every year.
This order has been unanimously agreed by everyone, and it is carried out every year, which has won a large number of people's hearts.
Originally, it was not Huo Qingtong's turn to do such a trivial matter as escorting materials, but in the past two years, every time the convoy escorting materials disappeared inexplicably, and sending people to investigate could not find out a result.
Winter is approaching this year, Huo Qingtong decided to escort him in person to see who is doing ghosts.
When passing through this snow-capped mountain, Huo Qingtong unexpectedly learned that there were snow deer infested here, and he couldn't help but think of his sister at home, so he decided to delay a little time to see if he could catch it.
Unexpectedly, Xuelu saw it, but it fell into the hands of Murong Fu.
Looking at Huo Qingtong's rather resentful eyes, Murong Fu couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and almost said the words "Xuelu is for you".
Fortunately, now his immunity to beautiful women has been greatly enhanced, and he swallowed the words back in time and turned to other topics.
Huo Qingtong glanced at him, and then inquired about Murong Fu's origin, mentorship, and why he was lost in the Great Snow Mountain.
