Chapter 433(1/2)
The King Meets the King
In the tent, the desolate tone of the horse-head fiddle was still continuing. A tall camel was lying in the middle of the tent, surrounded by several shepherds, some gently caressing the camel's head, and some sing gently. The little prince Yinqi squatted aside, rubbing the female camel, and the song never stopped, and her hands never stopped.
Beside her knees, a small camel who had just been born was half kneeling beside her knees. The little camel was thin and weak, looking at the female camel with a timid and timid look, but she did not dare to come forward.
The patriarch of this tribe, Sarengeri, is a distant uncle of Yinqi. In order to convince the leader of Taining Guard, Agudamu, to have a strange intention, Yinqi had just visited Taining Guard himself. On the way back, he passed here and came to visit his uncle.
A female camel in my uncle's family had just given birth to a little camel. Originally, the most common camel was spring, but this camel gave birth to a child just when the cold winter came. Moreover, it caused great pain due to the difficult delivery. After giving birth to the little camel, it refused to feed the little camel. Once the little camel approached, it would kick and bite away. The poor little camel was extremely thin, and it would not be able to survive the winter if it continued like this.
In this situation, according to traditional customs in the desert, the herdsmen should play music for the mother camel, knead their nipples, soothe their emotions, and sing until they are willing to allow the little camel to approach. Yin Qi saw that the little camel was pitiful, so he volunteered to accompany his uncle to perform a change ceremony. This ceremony cannot be stopped in the middle, otherwise all his previous efforts will be wasted, and the little camel will no longer be recognized by his mother.
This is the territory of Tainingwei. According to various signs, Agudam of Tainingwei did not surrender to Boyan Mengke. He just wanted to gain power from both sides. Boyan Mengke now also wanted a few strong enemies. Out of this tacit understanding, on the grassland where gunpowders were full of gunpowder, both sides strictly restricted their subordinates from quarrels, so it was impossible for them to be the people from Boyan.
There would be no Boyan's army here. Yin Qi did not expect the white-clothed army that escaped from the Central Plains for a moment, so he just heard that the horse horses were galloping outside the tent and did not take it to his heart. At this time, he heard that it was a horse thief and felt even more relieved. With her 1,200 brave guards, which team of horse thieves dared to offend it.
The chief guard said anxiously: "Prince. There are many horse thieves coming. It is roughly estimated that there are about 1,800 people. If it weren't for a few horse thieves joining forces, it would be the white-clothed army in the Central Plains. The prince has a noble status and cannot take risks easily. Please leave with your subordinates."
Yinqi's distant uncle Sarengeri was very nervous when he heard this and hurriedly said to Yinqi: "Prince, leave quickly."
Yin Qi was also secretly surprised, but still said, "Don't panic, continue. Even if I don't want to leave for this poor little camel, I can't leave like this. Let you be robbed by horse thieves!"
At this moment, another guard broke into the tent, stroked his chest and said, "Prince, the two groups of people outside do not seem to be all the way. The team of nearly a thousand people did not attack us, but instead helped us deal with the horse thieves attacking the tribe. Now the horse thieves are about to be eliminated."
Yin Qi was overjoyed and continued to rub the camel's nipples while happily saying, "Very good, eliminate the horse thief, and ask the leader of the tribe who has taken righteous action to come to see me. I want to reward him. He should be Agudamum's subordinate, right?"
Hong Niangzi's men and Yin Qi's guards were the most outstanding soldiers on the grassland. Although the group of horse thieves were fearless, their combat power was not at the same level. They were chopped and killed by two powerful soldiers. This group of originally very powerful horse thieves fled behind the pile of corpses that were less than half.
Yinqi's chief guard Bagen signaled his vigilant subordinates to put down their swords and guns, and then smiled and faced Cui Ying'er, who had not approached a step, and rubbed his chest and said, "Hello, honorable friend. Our leader asked you to enter the account. We should express our gratitude to you for your help."
He said it in Mongolian language. The Hongmao didn't understand it at all. Fortunately, in order to negotiate with Boyan, Hongmao brought several newly subdued Mongolian subordinates around him. These Mongolians have been looking for livelihoods near the Han Chinese garrison station for many years. They are all proficient in both Mongolian and Chinese languages. They immediately whispered a few words to Hongmao. Hongmao was a little strange: "Who is the sacred place in this camp? Such a big air has never appeared." She thought about it, smiled slightly, and turned over and got off the horse.
When Bagen saw her listening to someone's translation, he looked at her appearance and guessed that she was a Han Chinese. Seeing that she was still single and followed him without fear, he couldn't help but show admiration. When he arrived at the tent, he lifted the curtain and said respectfully: "Dear guest, please come in!"
Cui Ying'er stepped into the tent and was stunned when she saw the situation in the tent. Yin Qi turned around and looked at her. Although the man who entered the tent was also dressed in Mongolian costume, he had beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes. There was no such handsome young man on the grassland. His eyes turned in surprise.
"Is this...?" Cui Ying'er said to the guard chief Bagen in confusion.
Bagen explained to her quickly after changing Chinese language. Cui Ying'er was relieved. Bagen waved his hand and said, "Please sit down first, our leader will meet you soon."
He gave the seat in the middle of the felt bag, which was a place where the owner or the most honorable guest could sit. Cui Ying'er knew a little about these etiquettes. She smiled slightly and did not walk to the top, but walked towards the table on the right. According to the custom of men and women, men and women should not sit around randomly.
The Hongniang sat cross-legged after several tables, smiling as they sang, played the violin, and kneaded their nipples around the camel. Under her bright and sharp eyes, Yin Qi felt like she was invisible, but her eyes were uncontrollably and always secretly glanced at the Hongniang.
The Hongmao also noticed that the pretty little girl peeked at herself. She was wearing a dark blue fur robe with right lapel, lace, high neckline and long sleeves, a belt of the same color, and a small scimitar inlaid with gems. Her hair was separated from the middle of the front, tied with two roots, with two large round beads on the roots, and her hair was slightly drooped, and was decorated with agate, coral, jasper and other decorations.
The dress was very cute. When he glanced at him, his bright and charming eyes were like the two brightest gems among the strings of expensive jewelry. The eyes that he looked at from time to time were like the gems emitted. The red lady couldn't help but smile at her kindly. Unexpectedly, this smile scared Yin Qi, lowered her head and dared not raise it again, revealing only a pretty face full of blush.
The red lady noticed that the boots she wore also had patterns such as apricot blossoms, mountain elixirs, Buddha hands, etc., which were very exquisite and expensive, unlike the clothes that such a small tribe members could afford. However, she still did not realize that this girl was the leader of the more than a thousand strong warriors, and her eyes began to bet on the oldest old man, Yin Qi's distant uncle.
The singing and piano sounds continued, and the female camel gradually closed her eyes comfortably. Yin Qi patted the little camel's neck. The little camel, who had been hungry, hesitated for a moment, and then leaned over timidly. When its mouth held its nipple, the female camel's body moved. Then it stopped moving quietly, and a burst of joyful laughter came from the tent, and they succeeded.
The Hongmao looked at this scene quietly, and her face couldn't help but show a quiet and happy smile. As a mother, how could she be unscrupulously happy to see such a scene?
Yin Qi wishfully regarded her touching eyes as "enterprise", and regarded her eyes as staring at the little camel who was thirsty and breastfeeding as being staring at herself. She was both shy and a little annoyed by his "pridespair".
Sarengeri stood up and bowed with a smile: "Hello, honorable friend, thank you for helping the people of our tribe to drive away the wolf-like enemies."
When the Hongniang heard this, she decided that he was the leader of the powerful armed forces. She stood up and smiled politely: "You don't have to be polite. If I hadn't happened to pass by, it would have attracted your subordinates to be alert. That group of horse thieves could easily be eliminated by your brave subordinates."
Yin Qi is not convenient to easily reveal his identity here. Hong Niangzi mistakenly recognized her uncle as her guard master, which was just in line with her wishes. She smiled and said, "This is my uncle Sarengeri. Are you a Han Chinese? I heard that your guard is also very powerful, with such powerful Han Chinese... Are you an officer and soldier of the Daming Guard?"
"No! I am the leader of the white-clothed army who escaped from the Central Plains. My name is Yang Ying!"
Yin Qi and her subordinates were shocked, and Hong Madam glanced at her. Seeing that the guard chief Bagen standing by the tent clenched the hilt of the knife nervously, she smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to be afraid. Although my people and horses often robbed, they are for survival on the grassland. Since I saved you from the horse thief, I will not have any more ideas about you."
"Besides......", Hong Niangzi smiled gently and complimented: "Big Leader Sarengeri, with the strong strength of your guards, I dare not make any decisions on you at will."
Yang Ying, the most powerful horse bandit leader who just entered the grassland, should actually be called a powerful armed force, because their scale can no longer be described as horse thieves. In fact, except for the fixed territory and tribes, the major overlords on the grassland were no different from Yang Ying's men.
For the grassland tribe who is used to the prey of the weak but is not used to distinguishing the enemy with good and evil, Yang Ying, a person with a powerful force, is only surprised and cautious in Yin Qi and Sarengeri, but there is no jealousy or hatred.
The Hongniang saw their fear of themselves and smiled and said, "I just passed by here and was happy to help me for a while. I don't need to thank you. Today's meeting is a fate. I want to survive on the grassland and I am willing to make some friends instead of making enemies everywhere. I hope we will meet again next time, it is a friend, not an enemy."
She bowed her fists and turned around and walked away. Her cool and heroic posture, although different from the heroes on the grassland, was even more unique and charming. Queen Yinqi's heart moved and suddenly caught up with two steps: "Brother Yang, please stay."
The red lady stopped and looked at her in surprise. Xiao Yinqi caught up with her, took off her sword and handed it to his hand, bit her lip, and said with a blushing face: "Thanks to you for help today, I will give you this sword. If you need help one day, you can come here to find my uncle. We are willing to be your friends."
The Hongmao thought about it and smiled heartily. She knew that making friends on the grassland liked to give each other gifts. Seeing that the scimitar given by the other party was extremely expensive, she took it openly, inserted it on her belt, and then untied her sword and presented it with her hands: "Okay! I accept your gift, this is my sword with me. I will give it to you."
Yin Qi grabbed the sword happily. Hong Madam looked at her, then looked at Sarengeri, who was reluctant to speak but stopped behind her, and walked towards her men. Feng Lei and others were unsheathed their swords and bowed their bows, waiting for her to come out nervously. When they saw her appear safely, they put away their weapons with confidence.
The Red Lady reached out and slapped the saddle, and suddenly jumped into the air. She landed gently on the horse's back with great skill. Then she shook the reins and bowed to Yin Qi and others standing next to the tent, and took the lead and left.
Yin Qi bent his eyes and watched her lead the troops away with a smile, his eyes full of admiration. Seeing that his army was leaving, Sagri said, "Prince. That precious sword is a fifteenth birthday gift given to you by the old prince. How can I give it to outsiders casually?"
Yin Qi smiled and shook his head, and said slyly: "Uncle, who do you think is more precious, a knife or a powerful friend?"
When Bagen heard this, he interrupted and said, "Ah! Does the prince want to use the white-clothed horse thieves? I have just seen their martial arts. These white-clothed horse thieves have excellent archery skills. Although they are slightly inferior to the athletes on the grassland, once they fight in close combat, their skills on the ground on swords, spears, swords and halberds are much better than our warriors. If they can accommodate such a powerful force, our three guards of Duoyan will no longer be afraid of Boyan. I believe that the leader of Agudamum will no longer dare to have any unfair intentions towards the prince."
Yin Qi shook his head, and a trace of sorrow suddenly appeared between his eyebrows: "Agudamu was half-hearted, mainly because Uncle Baiyin is now commanding the three guards of Duoyan, and he is unwilling to be under Uncle Baiyin. As for the white-clothed horse thieves, I hope to maintain a good relationship with them. But I cannot accept them blatantly. After all... we need more assistance from the Ming Dynasty and cannot accept their criminals."
This smart little girl now knows to balance all aspects of power, including subordinates, allies, and enemies, so that she can gain a foothold in it. Although she is still young, she is the queen of the three guards of the tribe of Duoyan. She must shoulder this responsibility.
She now has to improve her relationship with all possible forces. For her, internal and external troubles are far more than that. Uncle Baiyin, who was once loyal to her father, gradually began to develop ambition after taking control of the power of the three guards of Duoyan.
Bai Yin has asked her to marry his son more than once, her tone is stronger and more anxious. Yin Qi knows that he wants to become his daughter-in-law, and then uses this relationship to successfully take over all the rights of Duoyan Sanwei.
Yin Qi was very angry, but now she had to rely on Bai Yin's open and unwavering support to consolidate the three guards of Duoyan and establish the authority of her own queen. His help was much stronger than Agudam, who was only brave, even though she knew that he had other plans, she was even promoting his ambitions.
But now she has to be silenced. If you drink poison to quench your thirst, this is probably the case. This adventure is to convince Agudamu, in order to win his support and understanding, he used his conflicts and checks and balances with each other to organize his own power structure.
The man named Yang Ying does have a powerful force, but he cannot be easily accepted, otherwise he will probably cause the subtle balanced relationship of the three guards of Duoyan to collapse immediately, and the loss of the support of the Ming Dynasty...
Establishing a friendly relationship first is a good start. As an armed leader, he must gain a foothold in the grassland and will not ignore the powerful strength he has shown today. He mistakenly thought that it was the uncle's man. This is the best. Perhaps he could establish a tacit understanding and cooperative relationship with him through his uncle.
Yin Qi thought seriously, and a pair of curved willow eyebrows frowned together. She hated the intrigue of power and intrigue, but for the sake of her own happiness and the safety of her tribe, she had to transform from a happy, simple girl into a young prince, a person struggling in the vortex of power.
When will you be free from it? As before, standing on the horse's back, like a happy bird, soaring happily and carefree between the blue sky and the earth? Perhaps, it is never possible... Yin Qi sighed softly.
Not all those who struggle in the vortex of power feel pain like Yin Qi, at least not Boyan Meng. On the contrary, he likes this feeling, likes this feeling of controlling one's own destiny, merging others' destiny, and being the strongest in the world.
Thirty years ago, he formally took power. Soon after, he placed a house arrest under the Empress Great Earth, even though it was the Queen who helped him ascend to the position of the Great Khan. He did not like anyone who could control him or restrain him. He gave the letter to the Ming Dynasty and called himself the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, and he looked at himself on an equal footing with the Khan of the Ming court.
In order to stop the continuous civil war within Mongolia and control the development of tribes of different surnames, he merged the Tatar Mongolian tribes and divided them into six thousand households. Chahar, Urianha, Khalkha, Ordos, Mongolez and Yongsebuwanhu. He abolished positions such as the wise king, the Grand Tutor, and the magistrate. He promoted the charity of the leaders of the various tribes of the Ogedei and Alibugo who were active in the local area. The residence of the descendants of Ogedei and Alibugo could only be called houses, not temples, and the crown and tassels could not be exceeded four fingers, etc. to show their prestige.
The only one that was not included in the direct rule was the Korchin tribe, which was systematically governed by Genghis Khan's brothers Hesar. Because they provided the most firm support to themselves, Boyan Mengke was ambitious and looked forward to completely ruling the entire desert grassland step by step, and then re-occupating the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Central Plains.
Unexpectedly, not only was the mortal enemy of the Golden Family, but the legitimate grandson of Tiansheng Khan Yesen, Yibula, who had always been indifferent to the Yang and secretly developed his forces to fight against him. Even Huojian, the leader of the Mengguolejin tribe, was indifferent to his intentions and finally launched a rebellion. His dream of restoring the capital of Dayuan Zhongdu was not yet realized, and the forces that he had worked hard for many years collapsed.
Now the Huadang of Yan Sanwei took advantage of his opportunity to go to Qinghai Lake to punish the traitor Gasbu land and seized his territory. Although Serimzhuo sacrificed himself and helped him kill Huadang, the territory he recaptured was no longer as vast as when he left, and the morale of his tribes was unstable.
The once greatest hero on the grassland has now become the weakest part of several major forces. It is difficult to survive in the cracks, and it is not tolerated by the arrogant Boyan. He needs to fight for all the power he can use and regain everything that belongs to him. He is even stronger than before.
Therefore, he greedily absorbed all strength. The powerful armament led by Yang Ying, the white-clothed army, became the force he was extremely eager to recruit. Today, no matter what, he would take the lead in winning this force and strengthen his capital to conquer the grassland.
"Khan, the white-clad Yang Ying land of the white-clad army has arrived, and there are about a thousand people!" A soldier who sent to inquire about the news came on horseback and shouted loudly from afar.
In order to show his sincerity, he chose this place located in Taining Guard to join the alliance, and only brought two thousand people. In order to avoid repeating the mistake of Hua Dangdao's annihilation by people, his scouts sent hundreds of people to patrol around sixty miles away, and there were three sea holly he trained himself to hover in the sky.
"Well, the police posts of each department will continue to patrol, don't be careless!" Boyan gave a order, then climbed a high slope and looked into the distance.
At the end of the silver-white snow field, a dark line gradually approaching became clearer and clearer. Finally, a long team of horses rushed towards him like an arrow from the string. Their urgent momentum left the rolling snow dust far behind.
"It's indeed a powerful force. If it can be used for me, I will be like a tiger." Boyan Khan praised. He had been fighting on horseback since he was seven years old. He could only see at this glance that this white-clothed army in white was not easy to deal with.
Hongniang also saw the camp stationed in front of him. After roughly estimating, the number of people that Boyan and her had agreed in advance was not exceeded. Hongniang was very calm and took the lead and rushed towards the black wolf-headed flag, which was the flag of the Mongolian Khan.
Boyan stood proudly on the high ground of the camp, waiting for the arrival of Hongniang.
The Hongniang's men slowed down. She led more than 20 riders to climb uphill and then turned over and dismounted. Her agile skills made Boyan's eyes even more appreciative.
The two walked opposite each other and looked at each other. Boyan Mengke wore armor, iron helmet, and a white cloak. His beard was like a halberd and his body was as strong as a mountain. The Hongniang looked at it and praised her: It was indeed worthy of being the number one hero on the grassland, with a unique temperament.
Boyan Mengke was also looking at her, and Boyan Mengke was a little surprised. He had heard of the White Army in the Central Plains, Liu Liu Qi, Yang Hu and Zhang Mao and others were invincible. Although Yang Ying, as the leader, was not famous just now, he could be the highest leader of the White Army. In his mind, he should also be a strong and tiger-like warrior. Unexpectedly, he looked not only very thin, but also had a more delicate facial features.
However, people in the Central Plains were originally as fair and delicate as men on the grassland. Coupled with the skills she had just shown and the momentum of her cavalry team, Boyan Meng did not dare to judge people by her appearance, and still greeted him with a smile.
"This must be the famous leader of the White Army, Brother Yang Ying?" Boyan said fluently in Chinese.
The Hong Madam withdrew her eyes and looked at him. She moved her legs and met her very manly, hugged her fists, and said roughly: "It's just that I'm down. Brother, I must be the boss of Boyan? I've been long-awaited!"
When Boyan heard this, he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and fell head-down to the slope: "Dayuan Da Khan became the leader. How could he do this...?"
Reducing the other party's identity and origin, Boyan Meng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "These people are just a group of bandits. They can't even understand the court etiquette, and of course they don't understand the name of the grassland. A group of local buns who have never seen the world are now using people. Why should I care about this?"
Boyan forced himself to be happy and said, "Brother Yang, I have long admired your reputation. I have seen you today, which is a blessing in my life."
"Shame! Shame! The boss's over-reward, the brothers overturned the ship in the Central Plains. They were forced to flee outside the pass, and just robbed the house and robbed the house and had a slut. I had heard that Boyan's boss' was so prosperous outside the pass, and he was the first hero who stood on his fist and ran on his elbow. I thanked you for your appreciation!"
Feng Lei wanted to laugh when he heard this, and quickly turned his head. Boyan grinned violently, and he felt a little dizzy. But he felt relieved after hearing this. Yang Ying was gentle and delicate, but unexpectedly, he was such a rude and straightforward person. Such a green forest hero should be easily accepted as long as he talks with similar intentions.
The Hongniang and Boyan Mengke greeted each other politely, and then entered the tent together. Her guards and Boyan Mengke's guards stood solemnly on both sides of the tent. Feng Lei and several other generals entered with them, and sat down with the generals under Boyan Mengke.
The Mongolian felt bag is magnificent, and a banquet has been set up inside. Hongniang and Boyan sat side by side in the main seat. Boyan was dressed in a gorgeous costume and presented milk tea to Hongniang and others, fried rice, milk tofu, milk skin, etc. to invite guests to taste it.
The Hongniang and others followed the local customs and tasted everything slightly regardless of whether it suited the taste or not. Boyan Meng was very happy to see it. He picked up a wine bowl with gold and silver, and the milk wine was filled with it. Boyan Mengke shouted: "Brother Yang, you and I have met for the first time today. We will discuss the details later. Come on, let's do a bowl first!"
The Hongniang also held the bowl in both hands and said generously: "I dare not, it should be my brother, the boss of Boyan. I wish you a cup of me!"
When Boyan Meng heard him call the boss, his eyelids twitched, but it was difficult to correct this matter too seriously. In the court in the Central Plains, foreign countries came to Jin to see the emperor and every word and action was regarded as a major event related to the foundation of the country. However, on the grassland, they obviously paid more attention to actual interests.
Boyan was willing to accept it, and the Hongniang deliberately made a decision that she did not know much about the current strength and weakness of the grassland. She still regarded Boyan as the top overlord of the grassland, and the two of them naturally got together.
The more they talked, the more they became more and more promising. In the classroom, they decided to watch over each other and help each other, and they also wanted to become sworn brothers. The Hongniang was very enthusiastic. She rolled up her arms and sleeves and wanted to find a big chicken man, preparing to kill the chicken head and burn yellow paper. She was held back by the amused and crying Boyan Mengke and kowtowed to become sworn brothers according to the Mongolian ceremony.
To be continued...
