Chapter 351: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Land
Xu Beiyou looked at the building and was silent for a long time, then retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward.
But instead of going straight to the majestic temple that is one of the best in the world, it turns around and goes in the other direction.
Not far from Biluo Lake, there are several huge steppe tribes, and the people who lead these steppe tribes are revered by the tribes as Brobi Khan, a title that has been passed down from generation to generation and has been in existence for hundreds of years now.
Speaking of Burobi Khan, we have to mention the Lin clan, the king of the steppe Khan, who was canonized as the "King of Zhenbei". In fact, these two honorific titles were canonized by the Central Plains Imperial Court, but not the current Great Qi Imperial Court, but the former Dazheng, and the later Xiao Yu only followed the two canonized honorific titles of Dazheng.
In the twentieth year of the Great Zheng Mingwu, Emperor Taizu of the Great Zheng sent the Metropolitan Governors Feng Zhang, Fu Sheng, and Lan Canghai to lead an army, a total of 200,000 troops from the Central Capital, and went on an expedition to the grassland.
In the same year, Feng Zhang's army made a detour through the small hills to surround the Nahachu garrison, Nahachu was forced to surrender, submitted to the Dazheng court, and was named Brobi Khan, equivalent to the title of county king, Nahachu's move made the grassland tribes east of the Ulun River lose their barrier, Fu Sheng took this opportunity to approach the grassland king's court, and the grassland Khan king and Zhongtaiji had to flee to Biluo Lake.
In the twenty-first year of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Canghai led the army across the Wusi Plain, until he attacked the shore of Biluo Lake, defeated the 12 personal guards of the King of the Grassland Khan, and forced the King of the Grassland Khan to sign an alliance under the city.
In the 22nd year of the Ming Dynasty, Fu Sheng set up the Duoyan Governor's Mansion on the north side of the Ulun River near the Great Snow Mountain, and at the same time moved some of the grassland tribes to Hanoi Prefecture in the northwest, and moved the Nahachu Division, who was named Brobi Khan, to Biluo Lake, so as to balance the Lin clan who was named the king of Zhenbei.
Later, with the decline of Zheng Ting, the strength of Da Zheng continued to shrink, and gradually gave up the Duoyan Governor's Mansion and Xiulong Grassland and Xiaoqiuling, etc., and the grassland returned to the grasp of the Lin family, but the Nahachu Department on the shore of Biluo Lake took the opportunity to sit big, although it could not compete with the Golden Horde Court, but it also became a "feudal town". Even after the death of Khan King Lin Yuan, the princess Red Lady was in power, and Xiao Yu also opened the gap from Brobi Khan, and finally overthrew the Red Lady, and was able to take charge of the grassland by the hand of his wife Lin Yinping.
Now Xu Beiyou is going to the Nakhachu Department where Burobi Khan is located.
As we all know, the Steppe Court is a mobile city formed by the convergence of countless tents, living by water and grass, the largest of which is decorated with gold and is exclusively enjoyed by the King of the Steppe Khan, which is the origin of the Golden Horde. However, unlike the royal court, the second most powerful man of the steppes lived in a city, an immobile city with gates and walls.
This city is also famous, it is the Duoyan Governor's Mansion established by the Metropolitan Governor Fu Sheng, after the Dazheng Border Army retreated to the Central Capital, this Duoyan Governor's Mansion gradually became an ownerless city, the Central Plains and the grassland caravans gathered here, many grassland horse thieves got gold and silver, they will also come here for a pastime, merchants and robbers live in peace is also a scene here, of course, there is no lack of outlaws who provoke enemies in the Central Plains and have to flee the grassland, and even exiled monks are not uncommon, it is a place outside the law, until the Brobi Khan took it into his pocket, it has changed slightly。
This place is a little far away from the Great Snow Mountain, not the closest place to the Great Snow Mountain, but Brobi Khan has the habit of making bowls at four times, living in the cold and summer, the cold in autumn and winter, and the summer heat, in the past two years, the white plague on the grassland has been very noisy, and even the area around Biluo Lake is quite affected, so he stays in the city of Duoyan with a city wall to protect him from the wind and cold.
This time, Xu Beiyou decided to hide his identity, not only did he not go with the sword, but he no longer used the previous means of shrinking the ground into inches, just like a pilgrim, walking step by step towards the city that was actually not majestic.
But fortunately, this is no longer the former wasteland, as he approached the city, the population gradually became dense, and on the way he met a caravan that had come all the way from Houjian, and what was more coincidental was that the leading merchant at the head was still half of his old acquaintance.
At that time, Xu Beiyou practiced swords on the Xiulong grassland, and after killing the twelve wolf thieves, he encountered heavy rain at night, and had a short encounter with several merchants who took shelter from the rain, but he didn't expect to meet here again today.
This reminded Xu Beiyou of a sentence that Xiao Zhinan once recited, every reunion in the world is always inadvertent, and every encounter in the world is a reunion after a long absence.
Xu Beiyou still vaguely remembered that the businessman's surname was Zhang, his name was Zhang Suheng, after he called out Zhang Suheng's name, Zhang Suheng quickly remembered the young man he met outside Julu City, but he hadn't seen him for four years, and the young man who was a little green in his vague impression had become resolute and mature, especially the whole person's temperament was even more earth-shattering, so that he almost didn't dare to admit it.
However, it is said that there are four major happy events in the world, namely: the night of the candle in the cave room, the title of the gold list, the long-term drought and the rain, and the old acquaintance in another country. can meet an old man in this alien land at the end of the world, even if the two have no real friendship, they will quickly get acquainted. Xu Beiyou asked Zhang Suheng about the situation in recent years, this middle-aged man with a frosty face sighed again and again that it is not easy to do business, such as fighting everywhere today, so that they have no way to live, the Xiliang Corridor can't go, Julu City can't go, they can only borrow the road to build, although the money earned is not less, but this distance has multiplied several times, and it takes almost two years between back and forth.
Next, Zhang Suheng also asked Xu Beiyou about his situation, Xu Beiyou was vague, but said that he was now a sect and was regarded as a monk, which made Zhang Suheng praise again and again that he had a bright future.
Before the caravan entered the city, Zhang Suheng kindly said many taboos in the city, such as this city is actually divided into the inner city and the outer city, the inner city is where the grassland magnates live, including the Burobi Khan, and the outer city is the place where these merchants trade, and whether it is the inner city or the outer city, it is strictly forbidden to kill, whether it is a merchant or a horse thief outside the city, this iron law must be observed, if anyone dares to violate, the patrol cavalry can be killed on the spot, without the slightest mercy, even if it is a monk. A few years ago, there were a few shamanic monks who made trouble here, and as a result, they attracted a large number of cavalry to suppress, although these monks had some means, killed hundreds of cavalry, but they were still outnumbered, and their heads were cut off, and they were hung on the four city gates, and now the skin and flesh have been dried up, only skeletons remain, but they still have not been taken down, it is said that because of this matter, several shamanic priests have made a big move, and they want to come here to ask the teacher for their guilt, but they were stopped by several red-clothed masters on the mountain, and finally it was not done.
In this city, the only exception is the grassland magnates who are descendants, as well as those red-clothed monks who came down from the snowy mountains, but compared with those grassland magnates with bad deeds, these red-clothed monks can be regarded as living bodhisattvas on the grassland, rarely making things difficult for others, and sometimes doing some good deeds.
Gradually approaching the city gate, Xu Beiyou raised his eyes and looked, above the city gate, there were indeed more than a dozen skeletons hanging, some of them were old for a long time, and they were so rotten that they could not be seen, and some of them had only been hung up for a long time, and they could vaguely identify the front of their birth.
Xu Beiyou couldn't help but smile lightly, it was really the world's greatest, and it was an eye-opener.
