Chapter 235: Pastoral Tent Overnight (II)
The flock is getting closer. The barking of the two prairie hounds was even more cheerful. One of them rolled on the ground.
Driven by a few steppe men, the sheep were divided into four parts. The burliest man, after bidding farewell to the others, drove the largest flock toward the tent.
When the sheep are divided, there is no interruption. Agudammu endured. When he saw that the flock had been separated, he ran for the burly man with a cry of joy. The two hounds also galloped towards their masters like arrows off the string.
The man smiled and galloped towards Agudam. At the moment when the two of them staggered, the man bent down slightly, lifted Agudamu up, and gently placed it in front of him. The two dogs were scurrying in front of and behind the horses, desperately spreading joy.
The sheep obediently entered the sheepfold behind the tent at the sound of the man's whistle.
After closing the door, the man took his son by his hand, surrounded by two dogs, and walked towards the tent, and the woman greeted him and helped him pat the dust on the Buddha's clothes.
Xiao Ziyang greeted him, and saluted the man with his right hand on his left chest: "Your lady soothed my hungry stomach with delicious mutton and mare's milk wine, and rested my tired feet with a thick felt blanket. Please accept the gratitude of a tired traveler. ”
The man smiled heartily and said, "The tent of the hospitable Orians is always open for guests from afar, please, come and tell me about the scenery in the distance." He didn't return the salute to Xiao Ziyang, which was a very rude act, but it seemed very natural for this man to do it, as if he was born without having to salute others.
This man is the same size as Xiao Ziyang, but he is as strong as a bear, and his chest is one and a half as wide as Xiao Ziyang. Long, thick black hair is scattered over the shoulders, and the skin is very rough on the purple-red face, but the facial features are very upright and handsome. Don't have a rugged charm.
The male host sat down on the main seat with a golden knife, waved his hand and made a gesture to Xiao Ziyang to sit down. After Xiao Ziyang sat down, the woman served two cups of hot milk tea to the two. Agudam ran over and snuggled up to his father.
Xiao Ziyang took the milk tea, put it on the table, and asked the man, "Hospitable Oriya tribe warrior, please ask for your name?"
The man said, "My name is Hainach Agoura, guest, where are you from?"
Xiao Ziyang's heart moved when he heard this. The steppe people had surnames only for the nobility. It seems that this family is really not ordinary herdsmen.
He replied, "I am a hunter of the Ogdeg tribe, and I have gone to the tent of the king of the Usud to ask for holy water for the leader to cure strange diseases. ”
When Agoura heard that Xiao Ziyang was from the Ogdege tribe, he immediately became interested, "That's a very distant and rich tribe. I heard that your tribe lives under the Alatai Mountains, where the water and grass are abundant, and there are wild beasts that cannot be hunted and mountain goods that cannot be harvested. ”
Ala Tai Mountain is the name of the grassland people for the Tai'an Mountains.
Xiao Ziyang told him some interesting stories about hunting when he was a teenager.
As he spoke, Agoura suddenly looked at Xiao Ziyang's face with a thoughtful expression. Xiao Ziyang was shocked.
Agoura pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do I think you're so familiar, this guest, but I can't remember where you've seen you?"
Xiao Ziyang's mind spun rapidly, with a curious expression on his face, he shook his head and said, "A strong warrior like you, if I had seen it, I would definitely not forget it, but I think you are very faced. Have the guests been to our Ogdege tribe?"
Agoura shook his head thoughtfully, "No, but I've definitely seen you, I have a good memory, I can't go wrong!" said as he said with a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Ziyang also showed a thoughtful expression, shook his head and said: "I haven't been out of the house except when I was a teenager, I went to the Usud king's tent once with my father, if you haven't been to our Ogdege tribe, unless you saw me in the Usud king's tent ten years ago, but I can't believe that you will remember the person you met ten years ago!"
Agoura asked, "Have you been to the Usud, and what are you going to do?"
Xiao Ziyang showed a look of remembrance and said: "My father used to be the commander of ten under the command of King Usud Khan, and that year he went to the Western Liang Kingdom in the south with the army, made military merits, and won a reward, so he returned to his hometown to take me and my brother to the Usud to open his eyes. What a prosperous place it was! Unfortunately, the next year, he went out with the army to Xiliang, but never returned. ”
Ten years ago, the grassland army broke through the Lanshan Pass in Dingzhou for the first time twice in a row, and plundered it on a large scale. In the second year, he was bleeding from his head under the Lanshan Pass, and his soldiers were lost. The young general Xue Dingguo, who was ordered to break the grassland iron cavalry with his weak military strength and even made a surprise plan, became famous. Even Xiao Ziyang, who was in the Daluo faction, had heard of it.
Hearing this, Agoura nodded, "It turns out that your father turned out to be a warrior who sacrificed his life for the Khan King, so I must have seen you in the king's tent." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ziyang asked, "Agoura, were you also a warrior under the command of the Khan, and you are so strong, at least a centurion, right?"
Agoura smiled and shook her head.
The two talked for a while, and the woman brought hot chunks of mutton, snow-white milk, and a large bowl of mare's milk wine.
After eating, Xiao Ziyang was arranged in a small tent in Agudamu. Little Agudamu was very happy to be able to live with his parents.
When Xiao Ziyang left, the woman asked Agoura, "Do you suspect him ......?"
Agoura waved his hand and said, "I always felt that this man was very familiar, but I didn't remember seeing him there. As far as I can remember, such a familiar person will never forget. This is something that has never been done before. ”
After thinking for a moment, Agoura waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, although this person is still quite strong, he doesn't know the slightest martial arts, I think the second uncle won't send such a waste to calculate me!"
In the small tent not far away, Xiao Ziyang, who heard the words of the two clearly, smiled slightly bitterly, never thinking that he would be called a waste one day.
After analyzing the conversation between the two in his heart for a long time, Xiao Ziyang said softly to himself: "Does this Agula Mo know ...... guardian monk?"
Although Xiao Ziyang and the guardian monk's eyebrows are very similar, the beard on the guardian monk's face is Xiao Ziyang himself, and he thought about it for a long time that day before he realized that the two were so similar.
Agoura was able to make a connection between the two of them. From this, it can be seen that this person must be very familiar with the guardian monk.
The status of the guardian monk of the temple was extremely noble, and even the Khan of the Usud court had to bow respectfully when he saw him, and call him a guru. Agoura, however, was very familiar with him, and his status was certainly not low.
However, Xiao Ziyang thought about it, no matter what kind of identity this Agoura is, he is a mortal and has no threat to himself. Even if he saw that he was very similar to the guardian monk, it was not worth making a fuss. No matter how rich his imagination was, it was absolutely impossible to imagine that he was planning to kill the guardian monk and replace him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ziyang no longer paid attention to the family of three, closed his eyes and left.
