Chapter 283 On the Verge of the North Sea (Ask for Subscription)
The situation is not as bad as it seems. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Deep into the Mongolian steppe, the caravan followed the guidance of some herders and found the Selenga River, where killing was customary for even the most savage tribes.
Because it is the source of their life, it must be revered and protected.
Also on the banks of the river, the Chu River traded the last of the goods.
The barbarian tribes here, due to years of killing and war, lack enough cattle, sheep, and horses, and they even need to buy cattle and sheep from the caravans of the Chu River, which seems to be funny.
But at the same time, Chu He collected enough strange things through the people of these barbarian tribes.
There are mutilated totems, broken parchment scrolls of unknown origin, rare minerals unique to the prairie, and some strange spirit grass poisonous flowers.
As long as Chu He exchanges the resources in his hands, he doesn't have to fight to the death at all, and he can get what he wants.
The sound of 10,000 galloping horses became quiet near the Selenga River, and a group of Turkic people dressed even more savage and rough approached the caravan of the Chu River.
They used to be the masters of this prairie, but now they have been banished to the depths of the prairie, farther and farther away from the rich and prosperous Central Plains that their ancestors said.
The tea, silk, and porcelain brought by the Chu River could satisfy the fantasy of these Turkic people about the Central Plains a little, so this group of people became a pack of wolves grazing in the depths of the steppes by the Chu River.
They helped the Chu River to attack the Mongol tribes and rob them of their totems.
And Chu He gave them tea, porcelain, and silk for them.
At the end of the last deal, Chu He told the savage and ferocious Turks that they had nothing left in their hands, and the deal was over.
If you want to trade again, you need to wait until three years later.
Next time, he will bring more goods, as well as more abundant Central Plains specialties. At the same time, Chu He may promise that they will give the highest priority to the goods, because they are good friends.
Of course, Chu He will not come back in three years, it is just nonsense to fool these Turks.
Only in this way will these hungry wolf-like Turks not turn their faces immediately, and they are still looking forward to the next arrival of the Chu River.
After sending off the ferocious Turks, the Selenga River turned westward, and a delta could already be seen.
According to the maps traded from the Mongols, cross the delta and follow the Selenga River to the North Sea.
That is, the final destination of their trip to the Chu River.
By secretly guiding Zhang Ziming, Chu He had already confirmed the true body of the Jade Daoist from the five merchants to the last.
I have to say that Zhang Ziming's affinity aura is really useful.
And on the eve of arriving in Beihai, Zhang Ziming, Yang Chenkong and Ah Qiang found Chu He and prepared to find Chu River for a showdown.
Although it has been known for a long time, the purpose of the Chu River is not simply to trade and trade, but for some reason it is necessary to go to the North Sea.
But when they were about to arrive in Beihai, the three of them had been to the Yangtze River Dragon Palace like Chu He, and they could no longer bear the speculation in their hearts.
"Brother Jia! You must give us an explanation this time! What is your purpose in coaxing us to come to Beihai? Is it related to the Dragon Palace?" Zhang Ziming asked first.
I have to say that the three of them chose to choose and chose Zhang Ziming to ask questions on behalf of the original reason that Zhang Ziming did not have a real subordinate relationship with Chu He. There is a questioning status and identity.
But Zhang Ziming is more than friendly, but his courage and momentum are seriously insufficient.
A good question, speaking out of his mouth, is not even a consultation, it can only be called a consultation.
If it were Yang Chenkong to ask, maybe it would be a little bit better. Although Chu He doesn't take it very seriously.
At this point, Chu He did not intend to hide it, and roughly explained the cause and effect of this matter.
Of course, in this version of Chu He's story, he 'Jia Lao Liu' has become a forbearant existence. In order for the four to regain their freedom, they had to agree to the conditions of the Dragon Queen.
Regarding Chu He's explanation, Zhang Ziming believed it.
Yang Chenkong believed half of it.
Cuong kept his head down, unable to see his expression, but it was clear that he didn't believe it at all.
"So, is Uncle Zhao a jade Taoist?" asked Zhang Ziming with a surprised expression.
He has been getting along very well with the old man Zhao in his mouth these days, and he is almost about to cultivate the relationship between his grandson and grandson.
I never thought that he would be the jade Taoist who was peerless in the Dragon Palace, and what he didn't expect was that they had worked so hard and traveled a long distance to go to Beihai, that is, Uncle Zhao in his mouth.
Zhang Ziming suddenly didn't know what to do.
"I'm afraid there are deeper reasons for this, and this journey can be regarded as thrilling. But I'm afraid that after arriving in Beihai, there will be big changes. Yang Chenkong said.
Yang Chenkong's words seemed to be innutritious at first glance, like a nonsense.
But Chu He listened to it in his heart.
After getting along for a while, Chu He has a deep understanding of Yang Chenkong's intuition and accuracy.
Several crises were avoided in advance by relying on Yang Chenkong's bug-like intuition. Otherwise, the caravan would have been wiped out seven or eight times.
The steppe is very dangerous, and you can't really expect the consciousness of the Mongols and Turks.
"Master, I think so! It's still necessary to talk to the Jade Daoist first. Open the skylight and say bright words, she may not know what the real purpose of the dragon queen is. By telling each other what they think, you may be able to find clues. Cuong looked up and whispered.
When there is no shortage of speculation with the greatest malice, no matter how well-intentioned the purpose is, many horrors can be derived.
Chu He would not refuse Ah Qiang's proposal because he hated him.
In fact, this is exactly what Chu He intends to do.
Although he had the protection of the emperor, when he really approached Beihai, Chu He also felt panicked, as if something had been ignored by him, but he couldn't find a clue.
These days, he has been using the power of the fox fur to calmly think about the purpose of the dragon queen.
From time to time, when the moonlight is thick, he contacts Bai Xi and wants to explore the bottom of the dragon queen by testing Bai Xi's tone.
It's just that the answer I got was that everything was normal in the Dragon Palace.
Normal to the point of absolute abnormality.
For Long Jun's behavior of raising a junior everywhere and not picking at all, the Dragon Queen is just cold.
didn't sprinkle, didn't quarrel with Long Jun, and never sent people around to assassinate the goblins that Long Jun kept outside.
This is too far from some of the truths that Chu He learned from another copy.
After pacifying Zhang Ziming, Yang Chenkong and Ah Qiang, Chu He came to a corner of the caravan and found Uncle Zhao's tent.
This Uncle Zhao is over sixty years old on the surface, but it is really difficult for him to be so old that he can still toss, and he ran from the Central Plains to Beihai. This is actually the biggest flaw.
And along the way, after the test of ups and downs, Chu He has long been convinced that Uncle Zhao is a jade Taoist.
Therefore, after opening Uncle Zhao's tent, Chu He did not give the other party a chance to deny it, and the first thing he said was: "Jade Dao Chief! The North Sea is coming, I think we should also have a good talk." ”
