Early the next morning, the Turks led the nobles back to the Turkic tent, Chu Luo was dead, and the Western Turks were bound to be in turmoil, and he was anxious to lead his troops to accept the old Dulan tribe, and he was already impatient.

The Tianwu army completed the escort task, and they will also return to Dali City, in the vast grassland, Asduo sent one trip after another, until it was sent a hundred miles away, and her sister Anuli caught up with her, and she was reluctant to say goodbye to Yang Yuanba.

On the grass hill in the distance, the two sisters were riding on horses, looking at the Tianwu Army in the distance, Asduo's eyes were a little red, and she asked in a choked voice, "Anuri, can I see him again?"

Anuri sighed in her heart, Yang Yuanba is a Han clan, they are the daughters of the grassland khan, they are not just separated by the distance between the mountains and rivers, they want to walk together, it is undoubtedly difficult.

She said softly to her sister: "You are just a little swan that has just grown up, you are the most beloved pearl of Father Khan, Father Khan will not let you marry prematurely, you pray to Tengri, I believe you will meet again one day." ”

Anuri pulled the reins of her sister's war horse and said with a smile: "Let's go! Father Khan has already set off, and if he doesn't leave, he won't be able to catch up with them." ”

Asto turned back step by step, and slowly disappeared at the end of the grassland.

Yang Yuanba stopped the war horse, looked back at Asduo and gradually moved away, although Asduo was as tender as water, it was difficult to leave his iron-blooded heart in the grassland, his heart would never be tied by any woman, at this time, he had already let go of Asduo.

"General, will you marry her in the future?" Wei Chiwan slowly rode to his side, looking at him with a pair of clear eyes.

Yang Yuanba looked up at the goshawk hovering in the sky, and said with a faint smile: "The eldest husband should be like a goshawk, soaring between heaven and earth, how can he bind himself to a woman and become a prairie duck?"

After speaking, he whipped his horse fiercely, and ran forward, he looked at the vast grassland, his mind suddenly became infinitely broad, and he laughed loudly: "Wei Chi, Fat Fish, Lao Kang, go back to Beijing with me!"

Yang Yuanba has been in Biansai for five years, and as he gets older, he also begins to miss his hometown, especially after his aunt and Niuniu wrote him a letter four years ago, there has been no more news, so he can't let go of it in his heart.

Yang Yuanba is already a partial general, he wants to change places can only be transferred by the military department, otherwise he can only go home in the form of leave, he asked Yujuluo for two months of leave, let Yang Sien guard Dali City for him, he began to pack his things, ready to return to Beijing.

In the past few days, coinciding with the opening of the spring season of the horse market in Tianwu and the grassland, the streets in the city of Dali have been full of people, the Tianwu Dynasty opened a horse market in Fengzhou, and the Turkic and Tiele departments for border trade, before the construction of the city of Dali, the trade of the horse market is generally carried out in Wuyuan County, but since the construction of the city of Dali, the official trade is still in Wuyuan County, and the private trade has gradually moved north to the city of Dali, and it is no longer like the official twice a year, there are transactions here all year round.

The prosperity of commerce also made several wine shops and inns appear in Dali City, and there were also many fixed shops, which is also the reason why Yang Yuanba wanted to upgrade Dali City to the county seat, upgrading to the county seat, the city can be expanded, and more residents will pour in, making Dali City more prosperous.

Yang Yuanba strolls on Daxing Street, the main street of Dali City, Dali City is actually two main streets, with a cross-shaped structure, the east-west street is called Dali Street, and the north-south street is called Daxing Street, and almost all the shops are opened on these two streets.

Yang Yuanba wanted to buy some border specialties for his aunt and Niuniu, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to buy them some good furs to take home.

The products exported to the Central Plains by the Turks and Tiele were mainly horses, cattle and sheep, furs and medicinal materials, while the products imported by the Sui Dynasty were grain, silk, porcelain, cloth and handmade daily necessities, and tea was also available, but at this time, the steppe people had not yet begun to drink tea in large quantities, and only some steppe people close to the Sui realm found that drinking tea was important to them.

The noise and shouting on the streets of Daxing are very lively, groups of livestock walk through the streets, and the air is filled with the sour smell of livestock, but everyone is in high spirits and has not been affected in the slightest, the merchants of the Central Plains, the Turks, the Tiele people of all ethnic groups, and even the Sogdians have appeared, they are born merchants, where there are business opportunities, there are them.

Yang Yuanba's bounty and military pay also accumulated a great amount, enough to 2,000 hanging coins, which he exchanged from the Sogdians into 200 Eastern Roman gold coins, which were easy to carry.

There are dozens of change in his hand, so he bought a snow fox skin for his aunt, which is the Arctic snow fox hunted by the Gyalis people who live in the far north, easy and soft, very comfortable, he bought a pair of deerskin boots for Niuniu, and a deerskin horse bag on the horse, in addition to the first two years he prepared a pair of ruby bracelets for his aunt, and gave Niuniu a long sword made of Gaza iron, Gaza iron is also meteoric iron, the main production of the Gaza people are located in the Minush Basin, 'every rain, the vulgar will get iron, called Gasha, for the soldiers are extremely sharp'.

This time when he returned to Beijing, Yang Yuanba brought Fat Fish and Kang Bas with him, and Wei Chi wanted to go home to visit his father, so he also returned to Beijing with him first, while Yang Sien, Liu Jian and Ma Shao stayed in Dali City.

A month later, Yang Yuanqing and several of his subordinates returned to Xijing City after a five-year absence, looking at the majestic city wall in the distance, the familiar breath came to his face, Yang Yuanba's heart suddenly became nervous.

Changsun Sheng went directly to Renshou Palace in Qizhou, it is said that Emperor Yang Xiong was seriously ill, and Yang Yuanba's grandfather Yang Su was also there, Changsun Sheng wanted to persuade Yang Yuanba to go with him, but Yang Yuanba was concerned about his aunt and Niuniu.

smiled at everyone: "Let's go into the city!"

"Stop!" an officer asked, snapping as they stopped their way.

Yang Yuanba took out a gold medal and held it high in front of the officer, this is the gold medal of Changsun Sheng's envoy, which can be passed in any state and county in the world, the officer was in awe, and immediately turned around and waved his hand, "Open the door and let go!"

The city gate opened, and Yang Yuanba slowly walked into Daxing City with several subordinates and hundreds of horses.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the noisy and lively atmosphere will come to your face, pedestrians come and go, endlessly, compared with five years ago, people dress up significantly different, five years is to wear cloth and silk more, wear silk and satin less, now but the other way around, wear silk more, and wear cloth clothes less, even the women riding on the donkey wear the hat also fell with pearls, with white satin as the quality, quite ostentatious.

Yanpingmen is close to Liren City, and you can also see merchants from all over the world on the street, Sogdians wearing curly-brimmed hats, Turks and Tiele people wearing tight-fitting beards, small Goryeo and Silla people, and Japanese people who have just appeared in the past two years.

But whether it is a local capital person, or a merchant from overseas, everyone is well-dressed and radiant, in contrast, several of them are dark-skinned, shabby clothes, their clothes and armor have been beaten by wind and rain, sun and rain, the color has faded, and there are blood stains in the cracks of the clothes, no wonder the soldiers defending the city look at them with a little disdain.

The status of the border army in the Tianwu Dynasty is not high, many of them are criminals and exiled to the border army, in the world's exchanges, I heard that the other party is the border army, first of all, they will look down on it, if it is not for Yang Yuanba has the gold medal of Changsun Sheng, they can't even enter the city gate.

Yang Yuanba didn't go to Yang's mansion, at this time Yang Su was in Renshou Palace, not in the capital, so he didn't want to go back, but went to find his aunt and Niuniu, that was his relatives, their house was also in Yuloufang, about a few streets away from Yang's mansion.

After leaving home for five years, Yang Yuanba went home again, he was very excited and nervous, everything in the workshop had not changed, Zhang Wuye, who sold sugar porridge, was still carrying a yellowed bamboo camel, sitting in front of the door to greet business, his appearance had not changed, but his beard had become a lot whiter, and a few wrinkles had been added to his forehead.

Yang Yuanba's appearance has changed a lot, especially when his body has grown taller and become burly, Zhang Wuye didn't recognize him all of a sudden, he looked at it for a long time, and suddenly recognized it, "You are....Yuanba!"

Yang Yuanba arched his hand and smiled: "Fifth Master Zhang, I haven't seen you for five years, are you in good health?

San Lang is Zhang Wuye's son, three years older than Yang Yuanba, and often played together when he was a child, Zhang Wuye smiled and said: "I am in good health, San Lang also got married the year before last, and gave me a grandson, Yuanba, where have you been in the past few years?"

"I'm in the army, Fifth Master Zhang, I'll go first, I'll come and visit you when I have time. ”

"Hey, go slowly!"

Zhang Wuye remembered the scene when Yuanba was three years old, when he took Niuniu to buy sugar porridge with a piece of money, more than ten years have passed, this child has grown so tall and strong, and he has gone to the army, it is good to be in the army!

At this time, Zhang Wuye suddenly remembered something, and his face changed, not good!

．．．．．．．．．

Yang Yuanba's heart was pounding with nervousness, seeing that he was going to see his aunt and Niuniu, he imagined the situation when he saw his aunt, and his aunt would definitely hold him in his arms, crying loudly, complaining that he had not written home for several years, I don't know how many of her hair were white, Yang Yuanba's nose was slightly sour, he had no mother since he was a child, and his aunt was his mother.

He thought of Niuniu again, she must have grown taller, more standard, and she should be as beautiful as a hibiscus flower, and he didn't know if she was married, Yang Yuanba was uneasy in his heart.

Already seeing the leafy old apricot tree from a distance, Yang Yuanba's heart was hot, and he accelerated his horse speed and ran towards the alley.

But the closer he got to the house, the more he felt bad, he actually felt a death-like silence, when his home appeared in front of him, Yang Yuanba was stunned, there were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, the roof beams that were burned to charcoal, and the house collapsed, only half of the wall was not fallen, but the wall was smoked black, and the wild grass in the yard and room had grown to the height of one person, and it had been abandoned for at least three or four years.

Yang Yuanba stared blankly at everything in front of him, he couldn't believe what he saw, his home was obviously destroyed by a fire, the next door didn't burn, only their family was burned, what about the aunt?

Suddenly, he turned the horse's head, whipped the war horse violently, bit his lip and ran towards the Yang Mansion, anger burning in his chest, the Yang Mansion promised to take care of his aunt and Niuniu for him, is this their care?
