Volume 2 Saibei Xiaofeng Chapter 13 Saibei Lonely City Jilu Prefecture
"Fortunately, I have found my whereabouts, Brother Bing'er, don't worry anymore. Anzi rode behind Li Bing and touched the neck of the BMW under his crotch: "Horses, horses, I don't know, you are so valuable! A thousand times, it is enough to sell you for the rest of my life! You are much more valuable than me." β
Li Bing looked at his cautious appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Anzi, I found that since you knew that this horse was a BMW, you have cherished him very much, and you don't even swing the whip hard when you ride." β
"Of course, such a precious horse, I still count on breeding her and giving birth to ponies to make a fortune. For the rest of my life, I may have to lean on her!" After speaking, Anzi leaned down, pressed against the horse's neck, and carefully touched the horse's mane.
"Hahahaha! You're really a money fan!" The two chatted while walking, and slowly hurried, and finally returned to the comfortable days before Wuwei Prefecture.
"After the front, it is back to the land, also called the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate. It's my first time here. Li Bing took the horsewhip, pointed to the vast grassland, and shouted: "It's so open, seeing these grasslands, somehow, my mood is better." β
"Me too! It's the first time I've seen such a big prairie. Does Hui belong to the Tang Dynasty?" Anzi shook the reins vigorously: "Drive!"
The two of them were on this vast grassland, racing horses.
"How can you say it? It belongs to it, Datang set up the Anbei Protectorate in Huifu. The successive kings of the Hui Khan were all canonized by the Tang Emperor. The Hui also has its own court, laws and taxes, but this court has to listen to the Tang court. Their army must listen to the Tang court, and the appointment and dismissal of officials must also be subject to the Tang court. is like a vassal state, and it is closer to the Tang Dynasty than a vassal country. Even when the emperor issued an edict, the words were 'edict'. It means to see Hui as part of the Tang Dynasty. β
"Isn't it a bit like Yun Duwei's festival envoy?"
"Hmm~!, kind of like that. It's just a festival envoy who has a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and when An Lushan rebelled, Hui also sent troops to help quell the rebellion. Li Bingyang whipped and galloped: "An Lushan?
The two made a joke, but no one knew that Anzi was really the child of An Lushan's An family......
Talk, laugh, stop, run, stop, run. It didn't take long to see the towering city walls.
"Jiluzhou? That's an interesting name. Li Bing jumped off the horse, swept the high and low, mottled city wall at a glance, looked at the plaque on the gate, a gust of autumn wind blew, inexplicably, two lines of poetry flashed in his heart.
"In ancient times, the autumn wind was tight, and there was a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. β
Looking at the depravity of this earth city, these two poems could not be more appropriate. Looking at this declining city wall, I really felt that I had reached the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.
Yasuko dismounted, shrugged her shoulders and loosened her muscles. Anzi pointed to the plaque on the wall and said with a smile: "When I saw the word 'state', I was relieved, and I came out of Ganzhou for more than ten days, and I finally arrived in a big place." It's all dry food all the way, and it's hard and dry, so there's finally a place to eat something good. β
This is the first city in the north of the country - Jilu Prefecture. It is said to be a state, but in fact there is only one city, and it is natural that this city is named after the state. Jilu Prefecture has been built for nearly 300 years, since the founding of the "Rouran" of the Donghu people, it was here, and later Rouran was destroyed by the Turks, and the Turks were destroyed by the Tang, and the Tang helped the Hui people to establish a khanate. For 300 years, the war has continued, but this earthen wall has not been properly repaired by either side, and it will inevitably produce a scene of decay.
Although the outside of the city is ruined, the inner city is a different scene. At this time, wars broke out around Datang, but the north Huifu was very peaceful, not only did it continue to trade with Datang, but even sent troops to help Datang quell the chaos. The internal affairs are determined, and the four seas are prosperous. This time, the country is full of vitality.
"These people are not very tall, but they are very strong, and they are all big and round-waisted. Anzi came here for the first time, and when he saw it for the first time, he let out a sigh of praise: "Sure enough, it's at the side." β
There are not a few people on the streets of Jiluzhou, the Tang people and the Hui people are about half and half, the two ethnic groups are not only very different in clothing, but also far from each other, the Tang people are long and slightly taller, but the Hui people are more short and fat and strong, with big shoulders and round waists, and slightly darker complexion, which is very easy to identify.
Most of the people who live in this city are not herdsmen. Those who really herd, who do not eat vegetables and only eat meat, are burly. When we're out of town, you'll see it. After saying that, Li Bing seemed to remember what he was worried about, and suddenly said a nonsensical sentence: "Fortunately, the people of Huifu are simple now, and the friendship with Datang has remained unchanged for a hundred years, otherwise it would really be an enemy." β
"The folk customs are simple?" Anzi said half-jokingly, "Not necessarily." β
"What do you say?" Li Bing knew what Anzi knew when he saw his eyes.
Anzi leaned over to Li Bing's side, blocked Li Bing's ear with one hand, and whispered: "The Hui man in front is a thief, and he stole the money bag of the white-clothed scribe." Looking at the amount, I'm afraid there is a lot of money in it. β
When Li Bingchu heard this, he was slightly surprised, and subconsciously touched the money bag on his waist, but fortunately it was still there: "Really?"
"I'm the ancestor of thieves, can I still see the difference?" Anzi muttered, but when he looked at the street again, he saw that the white-clothed scribe's ears moved slightly, and he also touched the money bag on his waist.
At the touch, the man immediately turned around, glanced at Li Bing and the two of them first, and then shouted at the thief: "Hey, this brother, please stay." β
The little thief trembled when he heard this, Rao is thief was weak-hearted, squinted at Li Bing and the others, and turned to bow his head and walk quickly, just to slip away. But as soon as he took a big step, he was pulled by the scribe from behind.
Seeing this, Li Bing was secretly surprised, the distance between the two was twenty steps away, the street was noisy, and Anzi's voice was already very small, the white-clothed scribe could actually hear it, this ear power was really a little terrifying.
"This benevolent brother, the money bag has fallen, may I ask the brother Tai to see it?" The white-clothed scribe spoke very politely, and did not move, but looked at the thief with a slight smile. Although he is dressed as a scribe, he is born with broad shoulders and strong back, and he is a head taller than Li Bing, so a person of such a figure stands in front of the other party, even if he is smiling, his figure is very intimidating.
The thief refused to admit it, but said, "You lost your money bag and went to the yamen to look for it, and asked me what I was doing?" After speaking, he glared at the scribe, earned two pieces of the scribe's clothes, and turned around to slip away.
The scribe simply let go of his right hand, but grabbed him by the collar with his left hand, stepped out, turned around and came to the thief, originally seemed to want to use force, but stopped, just left a sentence: "I don't want to do it, why don't you give it to me, it's good for you and me." β
Seeing the scribe's strange footwork, Li Bing had already guessed that this person was a practitioner. Thinking of his amazing ear power just now, Li Bing had already determined that this person was a young master of the inner family.
Being able to see such a powerful master in the small city here really can't help but make Li Bing curious. Seeing the predicament of the scribe, he had a plan, tilted his head slightly, and asked Anzi in a smaller voice: "Anzi, where did the man hide the money bag?"
Anzi didn't understand what Li Bing meant, oh said, was about to speak, saw Li Bing's gesture, immediately understood, and lowered his voice, almost like a mosquito and fly: "In the sleeve, in the sleeve of the left hand!"
As Li Bing expected, the scribe was really amazing. As soon as Anzi finished speaking, the scribe reached out to the thief's left shoulder, grabbed it, and swiped it along his arm, until he reached his wrist, and the money bag fell to the ground along the cuff.
When the thief saw that the matter was revealed, he tried to break free of his arm, but the scribe seemed to want to let him go, but he did not stop him, and let him escape. He looked at the money bag on the ground, and he didn't bow down, but his right hand became a claw, and when he grabbed it in the air, the money bag was actually sucked up by internal strength.
This is a real master. Li Bing couldn't help but shout hello, just now he still felt that this person's popularity was extraordinary, and he was curious about the origin, and this time he was even more sympathetic to each other, and he made friends.
Before he could come forward, the man walked towards him first. The scribe clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, you two, otherwise I would have to drink the northwest wind today." β
An Zihan smiled: "It's easy to say." "I muttered in my heart: I didn't want to help you, it's your own ear.
After getting closer, Li Bing saw this person more clearly, it looked like a Confucian costume, but there were some differences that he couldn't say. Coupled with the tiger's back and bear waist in this life, I feel that the elegance is full of might, and it is not an ordinary Confucian appearance at all.
Li Bing was originally a stubborn but cheerful character, and when he saw such a person, he couldn't help but make friends.
Since the scribe gave face, Li Bing went straight to the point: "Brother Tai's internal family is very good, even if there is no us, this matter can still be solved." β
The scribe was also polite: "Poor and clumsy, let my brother laugh." The two brothers saw that they had already made friends just now, and they were afraid that they would not be able to enter the eyes of Your Excellency, so they could only sacrifice their ugliness. Ha ha. β
When Li Bing heard this, he was even more happy: "Where and where, I can't ask for it." Why don't we find a place to talk about it?"
The scribe laughed, "Very good, very good." After speaking, he shook the money bag in his hand twice: "This is thanks to the thief for giving us wine money." β
"Hahahaha. β
When they first arrived in Jilu Prefecture, Li Bing and the others were in a good mood.
An hour later,
After two rounds of drinking, Anzi's face was already a little flushed, but he was still chatting energetically, and Li Binghe and the scribes were also on the rise.
The two sides reported each other's names, and they knew each other. This scribe's name was "Chiren", and in terms of age, he was two years older than Li Bing. Li Bing asked him about his kung fu, but Chiren only said that he learned it from his family, so Li Bing didn't want to ask again.
"Brother Li Bing, how did you come out of this barren land in the northwest, is there anything to do? Can I help?" Chiren drank wine in a big bowl, one bowl at a time, without concealment.
The Tang people don't drink like this, Li Bing also learned to make a bowl, he felt that his mouth was too spicy, and quickly ate a bite of side dishes to press: "It's not a secret, we are looking for a few old people to come here, they went to a place to seek medical treatment, it seems to be called 'Qianhua Xingfang', we just arrived here, and we want to find out." Have you ever heard of Brother Chiren?"
Chiren touched his chin and thought for a moment: "Qianhua Xingfang is a big faction, I have also heard of it, it seems that it is near here, it should be easy to find." But I'm not a Hui person, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help with the specific place. β
Li Bing originally came to make friends, and it was not surprising that he didn't inquire about the news he wanted to know, but after listening to Chiren's answer, he was even more surprised: "Isn't Brother Chiren a Huifu?"
Chiren smiled faintly: "I am a member of the 'Mughal Murwei'. β
Speaking of the Fanbang tribes around the Tang Dynasty, the relatively large ones, in addition to the "Nanzhao" of the former vassal state in the southwest, the "Tubo" and "Tuyuhun" in the west, and the "Hui" in the north, there are only the "ιΊι¨" (mΓ²he, which appeared in a volume) and "Murowei" in the northeast. Murowei is the general name of many tribes, each tribe has its own name, Mengwu is one of them, but the names of these small tribes are not distinguishable from ordinary Tang people.
(Murwei, a regime established by nomads.) The location is probably in the area of Hulunbeier, Daxinganling, Inner Mongolia, and Amur Prefecture in Russia, and only borders Datang in a few places, with Hui on the left and Jin Ya on the right. The Mongol Murwei is the ancestor of the Mongols who established the Yuan Dynasty. οΌ
"Thank you, Brother Chiren. By the way, does Brother Chiren also have important things to do when he comes to Jilu Prefecture, is there a place where he can help?" Li Bing pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and then toasted a glass of wine.
"Not really, I'm just here to see an old friend. β
These gossips are similar, both sides are bold, and when the topic is opened, they talk wantonly.
Anzi said that she had never been to Murowei, had not heard much about it, and did not know much about the customs.
Akahito gushes about his hometown. After talking about the scenery, he talked about the martial arts of Murowei and so on, Li Bing listened quietly, but Anzi kept asking.
After Mu Wei finished speaking, the three of them began to talk about martial arts in the world again, Chiren said that many sects in Datang have unfathomable kung fu, and he yearns for it, and he has always wanted to visit the famous family of Datang, but he has been delayed.
Li Bing is actually a martial arts enthusiast, but he has seen a lot, but he has practiced less.
The two discussed one by one, and Li Bing had actually seen many masters of the sect. So he made an appointment with Chiren and went to Chang'an to find him.
Wine is a thousand cups of confidants, and the two of them are just talking about one topic after another, from customs and customs to martial arts, to the country and the nation, and then to the landscape poetry, unconsciously, it has been from noon to late at night, although it has been repeatedly delayed, or was driven out by the restaurant.
