Back at the camp, it was already dark, and the nine wounded had been bandaged and were eating in the tent. Tianxiao poked into the tent, then went to wash his hands and came back, and sat with Fei'er in the open space to drink and eat, with a dozen torches in the middle. Liu Qi handed Tianxiao a leg of mutton and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has already asked these people, these are the merchants of the neighboring Mughals, who have been walking on this line for more than ten years. This time, they came out four merchants, the most of them, ninety-three, more than 2,000 pieces of fine leather goods, more than 500 pieces of silk, and 800 pieces of porcelain. The night before yesterday, when I was setting up a tent by the Zhaling Lake, thirty or forty horse thieves suddenly came, killing people first and then robbing goods. Some escaped by being stabbed and pretending to be dead when fleeing to the mountains. Tianxiao sighed lightly and didn't speak, thinking about his thoughts, and continued to drink. Phil said, "So it seems that this gang of horse thieves should be nearby." Even if it is far away, it is within fifty miles. General Liu, after dinner, send more sentries to ride out, and the rest of the people stay in the camp and don't go out. In my opinion, there will be something going on tonight, so everyone just be careful. As soon as these words fell, a four-color fireworks bomb suddenly flashed in the night, which was very dazzling, and someone immediately shouted: "Hurry up, miss, that is our Duan family's signal flare for help, I'm afraid someone has met a horse thief." Hearing this, Fei'er hurriedly got up to lead the horse, and Tianxiao also greeted Liu Qi: "You bring three hundred people to come later." Seeing that Li Da had led the horse, he jumped into the saddle and poured out of the camp with everyone.

The crowd walked more than ten miles to the northeast, and there was a fierce fighting in front of them. Tianxiao saw that the dark ground under the moonlight was full of people, and he didn't know who was who. Naturally, he didn't dare to act rashly, but he was afraid that he would make a joke if he killed and injured his own people. Just when he was at a loss, fortunately, Fei'er's voice came. "Xiao'er, it's my Duan family who is wearing white clothes, don't make a mistake. Then he led someone to rush over and shouted, "I am the heart-destroying palm Fei'er." May I ask which branch of the Duan family are you, and are there any injured ones?" "I'm Ma Yuan of Seven Snow Peaks. The man with a strip of cloth on his head is our bodyguard. We're hurt, but we're still fighting. Fei Er shouted, "Okay, then wait until the enemy is repulsed before healing and talking." But Fei'er didn't have to wait any longer, Tianxiao killed and injured thirty or forty horse thieves. Immediately someone among the horse thieves spoke. "I am the steppe camel grass flying. Brat. Which one of the Duan family are you, and what do you call it?" Fei'er didn't wait for Tianxiao to answer, and then sneered: "Fly on the grass, you remember it for me." He is my father-in-law. The closed disciple of the crazy old Taoist Li Sheng is called the boy of brocade. "Flying on the grass is the one who robbed the snow leopard BMW. Knowing that there was no advantage tonight, he said, "The boy in brocade, this is tonight." I'll figure it out to you in a few days. After saying that, he took the people and left. Unexpectedly, Tianxiao shouted loudly: "Fly on the grass, you camel is good, stay and let you go." The man flashed and chased after him. Fei'er was about to stop her, but she was half a step late, afraid that Tianxiao would suffer, and was just about to call Li Da and them to answer, only to hear a roar flying on the grass in the distance: "Boy in brocade, grandpa can't spare you." Then he saw Tianxiao running back with the wild camel, and hurriedly greeted him and asked with concern: "Are you hurt?" Tianxiao laughed and said, "How can they hurt me with such a little effort." If they hadn't run fast, I'd have killed them all. Then he patted the wild camel and said, "This grass is not very good, but this camel is not ordinary." You see, it's tall and big, and it's up to our two-peaked camels, and I like it when I see it. Give, Phil, for you. He gave the reins to Fei'er, and when he saw that Liu Qi had arrived with his soldiers and horses, he said, "Liu Aiqing, then we will go back first, and I will leave it to you here." Liu Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister originally wanted to come to kill the horse thieves to have fun, but who expected that it was the life of cleaning the battlefield, so he could only bring a few more live horses back to the camp." ”

On the way back to the camp, Fei'er rode on the tall wild camel flying on the grass and said with a smile: "The face of flying on the grass tonight is embarrassing." Hey, this wild camel belongs to me, he has been flying on the grassland camel grass for more than 20 years, and only the grass is left to fly, see how angry he is. Ma Yuanle said: "Think about it, this grass is enough to fly, and even the mount will be robbed." Hey, if I did, I'd be killed head-on. Aunt Lan laughed when she heard this, and said, "You Ma Yuan didn't stay on Qixue Peak to practice bamboo swords, why did you also do the work of a bodyguard?" Someone replied: "The eight of us brothers went down the mountain this time, and we went to Dali Mansion to talk to Yiyang Finger about something, and we didn't want to meet these Mughal businessmen halfway. The horse thieves robbed them of their goods, and begged us to send them to Baito, saying that they were giving seven hundred taels of silver. We thought, it only took ten days of work, so we took this deal. Hey, if you hadn't arrived, we'd have suffered a lot. When Fei'er heard this, she asked, "What are you looking for my grandmother?" Ma Yuan said: "I heard that Emperor Longqing wants to give the Duan clan a fief within a radius of sixty miles, we want to ask, how much land can the Duan clan get from Qixue Peak? Second, I heard that the regent of Longqing has set up a 100-day ring in Yunnan Mansion, and it has been more than two months. It is said that he recruited the inner guards according to his kung fu, and became the Imperial Forest Army or entered the Huwei camp. If he is the champion of the martial arts, he is willing to be the deputy commander of the internal guard for the official, and he is not willing to be an official and is rewarded with silver - 1,000 taels; if he gets the example, he can be the commander of the Huwei battalion, and he is not willing to be an official and will be rewarded with 800 taels of silver. So, we came down the mountain. Fei'er laughed and said: "You people, you want to occupy land except for silver, and none of them are good people." ”

In order not to affect his journey, the next day, Tianxiao asked the nine injured Mughal merchants to lie on five carriages, gave Ma Yuan a hundred taels of silver and a cart of grain and grass, and let them finish the trip, and by the way, brought the nine injured Mughal merchants with him. Subsequently, he said to the four Mughal merchants: "I am Zhu Tianxiao, the Emperor of Longqing. I salute the kings, merchants, and people of your country. If they met merchants from other countries, they said that the Longqing Emperor welcomed them to do business in Lianzhou, Dali, or the Camel City. Bring with you, some of your country's handicrafts, jewelry, utensils, or food. Maybe when you come back, there will be no more horse thieves in my land of Longqing. Because, I will go to exterminate them and ensure the safety of the trips of merchants from all over the world in Longqing. The Mughal merchant nodded again and again, and walked away with the friendliness of the Longqing Emperor.

After seeing Ma Yuan and the others away, everyone began to busily dismantle the camp. Fei'er looked at Tianxiao with a puzzled face and asked, "Xiao'er." Is there a camel city in Longqing? Where is it, why don't I know?" Tianxiao smiled, pointed to her feet and said, "Isn't this camel city at your feet?" It's just that I haven't had time to build it yet. But, soon. Suddenly, he felt that trade with other countries, or to protect the safety and interests of merchants from other countries, was a very important event for Longqing. Therefore, he thought of being in Lianzhou. Dali has a market for all things. Attract merchants from neighboring countries and the Ming Dynasty to do business. And the construction of the camel city is also a whim, this idea is to build a city here to set up a trade market, which will definitely attract the western Mughals, Yarkand. Ministry of Tatar Tumet. Tatar. There are also Turpan, Kazakh, and Suzhou Wei of the Ming Dynasty. Merchants from Liangzhou Wei, Xining Wei, Lintao Mansion, and Minzhou Wei came to do business. Then the west, southwest, and northwest of Longqing will be completely invigorated, and the population will increase accordingly, and that will be better.

"Master, let's go. Li shouted, and Tianxiao woke up from the image, and saw that Fei'er had already sat on the wild camel, so he jumped up and sat on it, and advanced towards Liqiangtang. But this endless Liqiang Pond, except for birds and animals and not many woods, is uninhabited and very desolate. Tianxiao and they went around for seven or eight days in a row, and they also went to many places, but they did not see cattle, sheep and horses, nor did anyone cook smoke. It's good that there is no food and grass, otherwise in this hellish place, it would definitely be starving to death. When the west, southwest, and entire northwest of the "Map of the Territory of Longqing Town" were all painted with Tianxiao's ink plan, the people also arrived in Puranrang. It was an important city close to the neighboring Nibasan and Mughals, and the defender of the city would be the second son of Wang Leopard.

After leaving Puran, Tianxiao's western expedition can be regarded as a successful conclusion, and the next thing to do is to completely exterminate all horse thieves in this large area to ensure the safety of all merchants. He handed over the "Map of the Territory of Longqing Town" and a secret letter to Liu Qisu to return to Dali, and handed over the letter and map to Jiao Yi. After Liu Qi left, he gave Sun Qian and Zhao Shan a letter each, saying: "Zhao Aiqing, please tell Zhang Yun, grain is the foundation of Longqing, and it is also related to the Jiangshan Sheji of Longqing, let him take care of it well, don't let me live up to my expectations of him." Please tell General Sun Litang again, and say that I have asked Jiao Cheng to transfer the craftsmen of various cities to other places, and General Ye Xiaodong will escort him to Zhaling Lake with 5,000 soldiers and horses. After that, General Ye's 5,000 soldiers were stationed at Zhaling Lake and were responsible for the construction of the camel city. "Sun Qian and Zhao Shan are leaving. In the end, he asked Fei'er's mother's family to return to Mo'er as well.

Tianxiao was left with only Fei'er, Aunt Lan, Aunt Yun, and Li Da with more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, more than 200 carts of grain and grass, and began to look for traces of horse thieves. Fortunately, Li Daba's people are all horse thieves, and they have some understanding of the thieves' nests in this area, and this familiar person opened the door to the convenience of clearing horse thieves, and quickly eliminated more than 20 thieves' dens, persuaded 4780 horse thieves, and then met the remnants of Caoshangfei and Snow Leopard who were killed by Wei Qingshuang's army of thieves and fled near Lake Bidolun. "Hey, bumped into you two thieves again. After Tian Xiao laughed on the horse, he waved the plum blossom gun in his hand a few times and said, "You two thieves, do you wipe your neck, or do I do it." Seeing that it was the boy in brocade who was blocking the way, the soul flying on the grass was also frightened, and when the horse was about to escape, Fei'er gave an order. "Archery. "This is terrible, the grass and the remnants of the snow leopard were suddenly shot into hedgehogs.

After letting the surrendered horse thief go with the soldiers and horses of the three cities, Tianxiao and Fei'er rode on wild camels, and their entourage was Aunt Lan, Aunt Yun, and Li Da. Without idlers to accompany her, Fei'er is very happy, a smile on her face as if she never knows her troubles, this mouth "squeaks" will not stop all day long, as if there are endless sweet words, endless love. For more than ten days in a row, she did this every day, and she didn't know how tired she was.

On this day, just after entering the territory of Heqing Mansion, a white rabbit was frightened and came out of the grass, and Fei'er cheered when she saw it: "What a cute little white rabbit, I like it." Then he jumped down from the camel and caught the little white rabbit, and beckoned to the heavens. "Come on, Xiao'er, help me catch it. Tianxiao smiled helplessly at Aunt Lan and the others, and walked over, and the figure flashed in front of the little white rabbit. When the little white rabbit was frightened and was about to turn and run, Tianxiao reached out and grabbed the little white rabbit in his hand and gave it to Fei'er, who arrived immediately. Fei'er hugged the little white rabbit in her arms, snuggled up to Tianxiao and returned to the camel, and asked Aunt Lan with a smile. "Look at this snow-white rabbit, it's cute. Aunt Lan patted her head and sighed: "Miss, you are a person who is about to enter the palace to be the queen's mother, and it is time to restrain and play." Aunt Yun also said, "Yes." The emperor spoils you and loves you, but you also have to think about him. He is the king of a country, but he is accompanied by a queen who is not serious all day long, what do you let the ministers think of the emperor. Fei'er jumped on the camel and pouted, "Two aunts, I haven't entered the palace yet." Besides, I will be measured when I enter the palace. Seeing that she was displeased, with tears in her eyes, Tianxiao was really afraid that she would cry, so he got busy with a camel and hugged her, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." The queen mother is in the harem, and the minister is not allowed to enter the harem without my will, otherwise it will be a capital crime. So, she can't touch the ministers. And the regent is my Uncle Zhong, and I won't say anything about her. Hearing this, Aunt Lan and the others couldn't say anything about Fei'er anymore. Fei'er's mood improved again in the blink of an eye, and the laughter did not stop, so startled that the birds perched in the trees flew up.

Just like that, ten horses escorted the camels and ran forward, and the snow leopard's horse was led by Li Da, the sky suddenly became gray, and then the wind blew, and Aunt Yun exclaimed: "Run, it's going to rain heavily." "Yes, there is no store in front of the village, and there is no place to hide when the rain falls, Aunt Lan said: "There seems to be a small town on this road." When they heard this, they hurriedly patted their horses and urged their camels, and galloped forward. But before the shadow of the town could be seen, the raindrops came down first, and it was a downpour, and they were drenched in the blink of an eye, and then let the autumn wind blow like that, it was really a little cool. Fortunately, after running for seven or eight miles, I finally came to the town. This town is also a gravel street in the east-west direction, with a width of more than a zhang, and the eaves on both sides are about to merge together, and the middle is like a line of sky, but it is a good place to hide from the rain. But the strange thing is that the people who sheltered from the rain under the eaves on both sides of this long street seem to be all Jianghu figures, and an inn on the left side of the street is already crowded with people in the wine bar directly opposite the inn.
