Chapter 126: The Turkic Emissary

The next day, after getting up, Batu took a pot of wine and two people to the town to hang out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The people in the city are simple, the road is not forgotten, the night is not closed, the people are familiar with each other, and they greet each other warmly. Seeing outsiders waiting for a pot, they were no exception, waving and smiling at each other, making the two of them feel a deep warmth in their hearts, and they have gradually come up with plans to live here for a long time.

After walking around for a while, I found that the main outdoor work in the daily life of the city residents is done by men, such as hunting, grazing, etc., while women will choose to do some housework at home or go to the suburbs to grow grains, vegetables and fruits.

This made him even more determined to stay.

Batu led the two on the road, and from time to time someone would come forward to deliver some vegetables, fruits and other things, and when asked the reason, they all said that it was to thank Bauta for saving his life. With doubts, Yu Muyan asked Batu for details, but Batu also shook his head and said that this was the story of the older generation, and he didn't know it very well, so he took the two to a low house in the east of the city, saying that there was an old man in it who could tell the details of the year.

Seeing that someone came to listen to his story, the old man was very happy, moved a stool for the three of them to sit down, and began to recall the past in those years.

At that time, the two superpowers of the North and the South were fighting each other for territory, and there was constant fighting on the border, and many people were displaced and homeless.

Young Bauta was one of those victims. On that day, the two iron horsemen clashed in his hometown, and fought for three days and three nights, with countless casualties on both sides, and the whole village was buried with him. Bauta knelt on the ground with his wife's body in his arms and screamed to the sky, there was still his only flesh and bone in his stomach, one corpse and two lives, how could he bear such pain.

It may have been that God had mercy on him, and when he was grief-stricken, his wife's stomach seemed to move, and Bauta hurriedly put his ears close to listen, and through his belly, he heard a strong heart beating violently.

In a hurry, holding back tears, Bauta took out a saber and cut his wife's belly, and took out a boy from the pool of blood, named Batu, which means strong in our nation.

Hearing this, Yu Muyan already had tears in her eyes, and although it was not the first time for Batu to hear about her origin, she was still very sad.

Then, with the young Batu in his arms, Bauta continued to shuttle across the border, rescuing the survivors of the war, both men and women, young and old, from the chaos of war of all sizes. In this way, the fleeing party gradually grew, and finally, after Bauta led this group of homeless troops to wander to this desert steppe, they did not see any new wars happening, and perhaps neither country looked down on this barren land.

So, starting from scratch, everyone worked together, day after day, year after year, to build houses, build walls, and make a home here, no longer fleeing.

Over time, Bauta became the leader of everyone, because everyone had received his favor, and without him, everyone would not be able to have today, and it would not be possible for everyone to have today, so in the end, everyone unanimously elected him as the head of a country in our small country.

In fact, the people of our small country are all brothers and sisters, helping each other in difficulties, sharing happiness together, just like a big family, so there are not many contradictions, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and Bauta has a lot of trivial matters to take care of, so he later took the time to adopt an orphan as a daughter, which is now Bayar.

Then the old man told a lot of stories about Bauta's love for his people and interesting stories about Batu and Bayar's childhood, which finally brought this heavy story to a perfect end.

After leaving the old man's residence, Batu saw that Yu Yiju and Yu Muyan seemed to be in a heavy mood, so he found a topic to chat with them: "Anyway, since I became sensible, although life has been a little harder, everyone is still happy, except for providing some food to the Turks every year, we basically have no quarrel with the world, and our life is carefree." ”

"What, you still have to provide food to the Turks?" asked Yu Muyan strangely after listening.

"Yes, after all, we live next to them, and we can be regarded as dependent on their Great Khan, and we just seek refuge by the way. Batu sighed.

When Emperor Shengping and his younger brother Prince Zhou personally went into battle, led troops to fight on the front line, and only after several years of the war did they sign peace terms with the Turks to demarcate the border and quell the war.

However, the history books praise all kinds of great achievements of our predecessors, and there is no mention of any disasters brought to the people by war. After listening to this sad past today, my heart was full of grief, and I unconsciously added another layer of disgust to the war.

Not long after leaving, a man hurriedly came to tell Batu Bauta to hurry home, saying that there was something important to discuss, so Batu asked the two of them to drink a pot and wander around on their own, and they immediately rushed to their home.

After separating, Yu Yiju and Yu Muyan continued to wander around the city, searching left and right for places where they could build houses and tiles, and planned to settle here for a long time.

As they walked, there was a commotion not far ahead, and the two hurriedly stepped forward.

I saw a group of people around the door of a tavern, and one of them grabbed a man and asked why he didn't pay for drinking.

"You're just a bunch of dogs raised by our Turks, do you still have to pay for something from the dogs? As he spoke, several of the people who had come with the man burst into laughter.

This laughter aroused the dissatisfaction of the crowd on the side, and some people shouted: "The Turks are amazing? We have provided you with food every year, and this is not enough?

"Yes, if you do that, then we will pay less food next time, and deduct what we have lost from the next time. ”

"What? You're tired of living, aren't you? Back then, our Great Khan saw that you were pitiful, so he accepted your offering, and you think that anyone is qualified to send us food?

"What are you talking about, what do you want to do!" said the crowd of Turks, glaring angrily.

"Hehe, if you want to rebel, you don't weigh yourself. As he spoke, a Turk drew his long knife and slashed at the tavern keeper who was pulling him.

There was a burst of exclamations in the crowd, and everyone couldn't imagine that this group of Turkic barbarians would do it when they said it, and they would kill people if they did it.

In the flash of light, a figure had already flashed into the crowd, reached out to hold the hilt of the knife, and stopped the offensive abruptly.

"Who are you?" said the Turkic man with the knife in shock, staring at the young man in front of him angrily.

The man gently let go of the hand holding the hilt of the knife, and arched his hand: "This soldier brother, there are a lot of adults, and you don't need to be as knowledgeable as civilians. ”

At this time, Yu Muyan had already run forward and asked, "Brother Yu, are they Turkic soldiers?"

Hearing the Turkic soldiers, the surrounding people were a little flustered, and the painful memories of the past came to their hearts again.

"Boy, your eyesight is good, we are the soldiers of the most elite cavalry of the Turks, the Poisonous Wolf Iron Cavalry, and this time we followed Captain Alatan to talk to you old man Bauta about things. Speaking of his unit, the Turk had a proud look on his face.

"In this case, then this general should value peace. Said respectfully with a pot.

The Turkic soldier was about to ask a rhetorical question, but at this moment another man who came from the city whispered a few words in the man's ear, then put away his long knife and the rest of the people and walked away in the direction of the house of Bauta in the center of the city.

"Hey. The tavern keeper sighed, thinking that it would be impossible to recover the money for the sake of the day, so he shook his head and went back to the house.

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, praying in their hearts for the Turkic soldiers to leave as soon as possible.

Looking at the direction in which the Turks were leaving, they frowned, and Yu Muyan and Yu Muyan quickened their pace and walked towards the city. (To be continued.) )
