Everyone in the tent was confused by this abrupt "master".

Only Zhang Xuexue snorted and turned away slightly.

Liu Ruiying sat at the end of the door, looking carefully at the second ancestor of Dingzhou Mansion.

Wearing a gold-trimmed clever double crane red robe, there is also a pair of black gold purple jade Huabao armor on the outside, a crouching tiger double buckle hook belt tied around the waist, and the feet of Yunyan fine brocade snow silk boots. The most ridiculous thing is that he actually tied a string of gold oak inlaid tenon jade beads to the majestic long knife.

In Tang Zhongsong's imagination, perhaps the head of the Detective Division, who saw the head and the tail, was dressed like this, heroic and unusual, and quite magnanimous.

"Master, don't say goodbye to Dingzhou Mansion City, it's so hard for the apprentice to find you!"

Tang Zhongsong didn't care about others at all, and he had never had this habit. After taking two steps forward, he bowed down.

"Oops!"

Before his knees could touch the ground, a bulge appeared on his forehead.

"Who is it? Who dares to attack Ben Shao!"

"That's it, who ate the leopard and dared to shoot our Tang Gongzi!"

Jiang Hengjiao didn't know what the past was between this Tang Dagongzi and Zhang Xuejiu. But Tang Zhongsong wanted to bow to the master, but Zhang Xuexue obviously refused. But if you want to worship me, I won't stop you, and now I have knocked a drum bag for you with chopsticks, so that you have worshipped, and you worship very seriously.

Jiang Hengjiao gave Park Zhenghong a color, and the two silently walked to the side to talk.

"Yo, this must be Miss Li Yun! The girl has admired her name for a long time, but she can't get out because she is busy with business, so she has never seen her. But what happened when I sent someone to prepare a car and handed over the name card to the girl, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea? Could it be that the girl was not satisfied with what she was doing? If there was really something wrong that offended the girl, I hope the girl will forgive Haihan. ”

Tang Zhongsong covered his head and lowered his head to see Li Yun, and instantly forgot about the "master". If there is no "yo" in the front, this statement is both decent and steady. If you don't know who he is, you will think that this is a scholar from a scholarly family, and he is quite bookish.

Li Yun frowned slightly, this Tang Gongzi's color name is the best in Dingzhou Mansion. There wasn't a pretty girl he hadn't flirted with. can match his life experience, clothing, and appearance. Those girls who had been molested couldn't get angry anyway, so they could only laugh helplessly.

"Masahiro, I'm hungry! But ...... If we want to go to war, let's eat simpler. Go find me some white steamed buns, and then cut some cooked beef, four green vegetables, and two pots of wine. Oh, and it's better if there were stewed dog legs. ”

Zhenghong replied and looked at Jiang Hengjiao in embarrassment. He had already told her the ins and outs of this time.

Since you are older than my official son, and now you are on your territory, this little ancestor will be served by you. Besides, I'm not a trickster, how can I set the table for you in a moment.

"Tang Gongzi, in Xiazhong, the investigation of the Tianmu Province is the envoy. ”

When Tang Zhongsong's performance was over, Liu Ruiying felt that it was still necessary to say hello to him. After all, he is the son of the governor of Dingzhou, how can he give the other party some face when he does things on someone else's territory?

"What is it...... Zhenghong: Do we have this title in Dingzhou?"

Park Zhenghong was frightened and hurriedly ran to Tang Zhongsong's side and whispered.

The son is a gentleman and ignorant of the world. But you can't pretend to be stupid. If he offends the Investigation Division, wouldn't it be himself who would be unlucky after the state lord found it down? Tang Ming would not push his own son out no matter how righteous he was.

Scrapping the old nose, this little ancestor finally understands a seven-seven-eighty-eight. Tang Zhongsong changed the knife to his left hand and patted Liu Ruiying's shoulder with his right hand.

"Since you've come from afar, don't be restrained. They are all their own brothers, and they can tell him if they need anything. ”

Tang Zhongsong pointed to Park Zhenghong beside him.

Liu Ruiying felt that Tang Zhongsong's image was slowly overlapping with the pamphlet in his baggage, and every point he showed was tightly in line with the rules and regulations recorded on it.

Northwest Royal Court Tent.

The wolf king Mingyao sat in the first seat.

Today is the Moon Festival.

The weather here is even colder, and braziers are placed in all corners of the tent. Compared with Dingzhou Mansion, the court tent of this grand grassland royal court is particularly shabby and simple.

On the table in front of Ming Yao were seven plates of stewed rotten meat, and he held a short knife and sent it to his mouth as he cut it.

The steppe people mainly eat meat, and they eat a lot of food.

Being able to eat meat and be good at drinking is a symbol of bravery. But Mingyao alone obviously couldn't eat these seven plates of meat.

He just simply likes the number seven.

Even his court tent was seven zhang long, seven zhang wide, and seven zhang high.

Wheels are installed under the tent to make it easy to move.

The grassland people choose to live in a beautiful place with abundant water and grass, and they have to change several times throughout the year. Especially before the arrival of the harsh winter, it is necessary to rush to the pasture for the winter, otherwise the cattle and sheep will freeze to death.

They called this place the Winter Nest.

For them, if they lose their cattle and sheep, they will lose everything, and they will lose the only capital to survive in this vast world.

The steppe people are known as a nomadic people because they have been on the go all their lives and have no fixed place to live. Struggling on the brink of destruction and survival, growing and growing strong in the struggle against the mighty forces of nature.

They don't believe in gods and Buddhas, they only worship heaven and earth. Relying on the companions around you, the knife at your waist and the wolf under your crotch while revering the ancestors and all things in nature.

At the time of the birth of every steppe man, they will have a wolf named after themselves.

It is very likely that he was born on the back of the wolf's father. Thus the Father follows the Father, and the Son follows the Son. Passed down from generation to generation.

The difference is that they are not as bold and generous as outsiders think. This precarious life always fills the whole grassland with sad songs. The lyrics are very simple, from how few cattle and sheep died in the family, to how many warriors our department lost, and even accidentally hung up a few strands of hair today.

The grassland has developed from dozens of cattle and sheep and more than a dozen wolves to today's scale, which is the result of countless generations of wolf kings with blood, sweat, and tears.

They are not good at farming, let alone weaving. As a result, plunder has become the only way to reserve resources. The king of Dingxi tried to communicate with the wolf king and build a treaty port on the northwest border. Even primitive bartering can stabilize the situation at the border.

But he overestimated the patience of the steppe people and underestimated the sinister nature of his own. In the absence of clarity on both sides, it has evolved into a situation where water and fire are now incompatible.

War.

Lack of iron in the steppe. Therefore, iron-smelting workshops were not allowed in the border towns, lest they be used by the enemy. But there are always some black-hearted businessmen who take risks. Smuggle the iron tools and grain of the Central Plains to the grasslands in exchange for their famous horses, wolf warriors and exotic beauties.

"Enlighten the throne, General Lu is arrogant on the left and right, and Angxiong has arrived. The right Lu belongs to the four departments of chasing the wind, entering the forest, facing the fire, and opening the mountain, and the left Lu belongs to the sun, worshipping the stars, and the Chenchen department have all arrived. ”

"Where's the Moon Swallowing Division?"

Mingyao asked.

He was well aware of what was happening at the border.

But that's the case with those in power. Since you don't tell, I won't ask first.

"The throne, the end will not know. ”

"As early as half a month ago, the last general had sent someone to the Moon Swallowing Department to convey the matter of today's meeting, but there was no reply until the last general left for the royal court. Therefore, I had no choice but to set off with the three tribes, so as not to delay the grand meeting of my king. ”

The voice was calm and peaceful, without the slightest abnormality.

"Throne, the Moon Sacrifice Conference is the first of the three great events of my steppe. Ang Ran was so lax that he failed to attend the moon sacrifice ceremony on time, and the general thought that he should be severely punished. ”

Right Lu General Ang Xiong is Ang Ran's younger brother.

The two have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and it is a well-known thing in the grassland. The Wolf King has never been reconciled in the middle. After all, if the generals and courtiers don't fight, the throne will be unstable. The more fiercely they fought each other, and the more merrily they fought, the more secure the throne became.

"Remember, kid, that they never fight each other or themselves. They are all competing for favor and power. So as long as the pet is measured and the power is in your hands, then even if they fall out, you don't have to be afraid. ”

When Ming Yao was a child, the previous generation of wolf kings said this to him.

I don't remember much of the other Mingyao he taught.

It was this sentence that Mingyao carved it into the depths of his bones and blood.

"In this case, the iron tools needed for my grassland in the new year after the moon festival, sixty percent of the grain and grass, and the consumption of this royal court are all supplied by Zuolu as a punishment. ”

Ming Yao didn't want to start a full-scale war with King Dingxi for the time being, so he only put a little pressure on Angran. Because the five towns on the border are really suitable as a springboard for the grassland to march towards the Central Plains.

Dingzhou Guanyi.

In the end, Park Zhenghong failed to find white steamed buns and beef for Tang Gongzi. A few taels of loose wine were bought at a high price from the evacuated people.

"Master, you promised to hand me over that set of acupuncture skills. How can you walk away without believing in your word?"

Yu Zhongsong ate and drank to his heart's content, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"I've never seen a scoundrel like you!"

Zhang Xuejiu said angrily.

"Hey, whatever. I'm bigger than you after all, aren't I?"

That day in the gambling house in the capital of Dingzhou, Zhang Xuexue killed the leopard and ate the three families. It made the people in the gambling house red-eyed and went to do it. Unexpectedly, more than a dozen big men were held by Zhang Xuezhi with two fingers and poked lightly, and all of them fell to the ground on their backs.

This scene happened to be seen by Tang Gongzi, who had just woken up and was drunk last night.

The pine in the soup is stubborn and lazy, and he wants to learn from a teacher. In the end, Zhang Xuexue couldn't do it, and the two decided to use the gambling game to settle the score.

The rule is simple, three dice are more than points. Whoever is big will listen to whomever he is.

Both are casino veterans, naturally three sixes, leopards, draws!

Zhang Xuezhi was a little stunned, and felt that he had to spend some time today to get out. Who would have thought that this Tang boy grabbed a dice from Zhang Xuexuan's side and swallowed it in his stomach. He also smiled and said that he had won.

Zhang Xuezhu saw that he had no choice, so he had to accept it first. Tang Gongzi was overjoyed and took Zhang Xuexue to the inner mansion of Dingzhou Prefecture. Say that on the second day, you will feast the guests and worship the teacher. As a result, early in the morning of the second day, Tang Zhongsong knocked on the door to greet his master and found that the room was empty.

Liu Ruiying felt that Tang Zhongsong was the most real person she had come into contact with in the past few days.

Zhang Xuecheng is old and has a lot of experience. Yanzi is not good at words and is too mysterious. Although Li Yun said that there was nothing unusual, he was a little too enthusiastic about himself, which made him very unaccustomed to it. Only this Tang boy made him feel very comfortable and comfortable.
