The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 407 Four Hundred: The Team's Difficult Journey to the North Sea ([-])
Yelu Hengtong leads the way, Yelu Henghang drives the tented car to follow behind, and behind is the caravan of the brigade!

Guards on horseback stood guard on one side of the car, and the caravan was on its way again.

As we went north, the weather became colder and colder. The whistling north wind was blowing, and the yellow sand was mixed with the flying snow on the ground. The people who were beaten could hardly even open their eyes!

There was no way to talk about the suffering, and the team walked for another day. When it was dark, they finally found a small ravine and set up camp.

After people set up their tents, they began to chop firewood and set a pot to boil water.

Then, people began to grill beef again, and waited until they were full.

A car owner came over, looked at Yelu Hengtong and asked cautiously: "Oh, I said Master Yelu, is the place called Beihai coming soon!

You say that you have to suffer so much all day long, who can bear it! "

Yelutong laughed loudly when he heard this.

"It's here? I said brother! What are you dreaming about?
We've only been walking for two days now, are you thinking about it?
Let me tell you!To put it mildly, we have to go for at least half a month!

If you want to arrive within half a month, it is impossible.

Suffering now, after three or two days, we will suffer even more.

Just prepare your minds! "

The car owner burst into tears after hearing this!

"My God! This time, I really fell for it.

If I had known this was the case, I would not have come.

What the heck, what the heck, if it's like this, can you go back alive? "

The surrounding car bosses also shed tears after hearing this!

Heart said: This trip out, the time is really long enough!How much money can this make?

Alas, there is no other way, it is too late to say anything now.

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Why are you people like this?

What happy things are worth your tears!

As the saying goes, it is good to stay at home, but it is difficult to go out.

Aren't you just trying to earn two extra dollars?Otherwise, why do you want to go abroad?

Now that you are all abroad, is it interesting for you to cry again?

Don't worry, as long as you follow me sincerely, I won't treat you badly.

If you always have two minds, if you die outside here, it has nothing to do with me! "

"Duantou, don't say that! We all depend on you to live. If you say you don't care about our words, then who cares about us!

Duan Touer, do you think it makes sense? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "As long as you admit that I am your leader, you will be less likely to complain to me for nothing, otherwise, I won't pay any more money when I go back!"

"Mr. Duan, we will not complain anymore. It is said that 50 taels of silver will be paid for going abroad. This is also an old official price. How can it be as close as Qingcaotan every time!

As for giving more and giving less, you can figure it out. We will recognize those who give more and give less.

That's it! "

"Well, that's about it.

If you cry like this, don't you lose the face of us Han people?
If you haven’t cheered me up yet, I’m going to let you go back now. Without our leadership, I’m afraid you will die on that road too!

Isn't it a little colder to go to the land of the North Sea!
You see, there is beef to eat all day long, isn't that okay!
Alright, let's go back to the account and go to rest. We'll be on our way tomorrow. "

Duan Wuji even threatened and coaxed them, and finally persuaded everyone to go back to the tent.

After walking north for another four days, the caravan entered a big mountain.

Yelu Hengtong said with a smile: "Let's go forward quickly, there is a very large settlement in the bosom of this mountain, with a very large population, let's replenish some supplies there, and then go north.

This place is an important town in northern my country!

Much bigger than our Green Grass Beach residents.

That place is also very lively, let's go, let's walk around that place! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Brother Yelu Hengtong, what are you talking about!
Don't turn around, let's pass by it, now brothers are only thinking about reaching the destination, so how can we have the leisure time to wander around!

Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this makes sense? "

All the car owners and guards nodded.

"I said, brother Yelu, let's not go to that crappy place, no matter how lively it is, is it more lively than our Taiyuan city?

That is, Taiyuan City, we all don’t want to go shopping anymore.

Not to mention such a small place! "

"Then Taiyuan City University?"

Yelu Hengxing asked curiously.

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"It's not big, it has a population of 10,000+! It's a small place."

Yelu Henghang was surprised and said, "I'm so afraid, a city with 10,000+ people is still a small place!
Brother Wuji, are you bragging! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Believe it or not.

If you say you don't believe it, what can I do?

Brother Yelu, after this trip to Beihai, don't I owe you and my brother twenty cartloads of porcelain?

When you pick up the goods, I will lead you to visit Taiyuan City, and then you will know whether my Taiyuan City is prosperous or not. "

"Well, well, since we are not going to this residential area, let's go around it.

In this way, we will save two days of delay. If this is the case, then let's go quickly! "

The caravan continued to move forward. After walking for about two hours, they saw a very large town in front of them.

The densely packed yurts and houses are six or seven miles away!

There are people walking around outside the yurt from time to time.

Duan Wuji took a look at the scale, it was indeed much bigger than the residents of Qingcao difficult!

Duan Wuji thought: I didn't expect there to be such a big shop in this barren place.

It's really unexpected!According to this scale, the population of this town store must be 5 to [-] at least.

The caravan was only four or five miles away from the town store, and headed north all the way, heading straight for the North Sea.

In this Turkic country, there are often such caravan activities!The people in the town store didn't pay much attention to them.

After walking for two hours, the sky gradually darkened.

Yelu Hengtong saw it and shouted loudly: "Let's not go north, it will be dark in a while, let's set up camp quickly!"

People found a small valley and set up tents in a sheltered place.

Everyone acted together, cutting dry firewood from nearby mountains, and pitching tents. After a short time, a thick puff of cooking smoke rose again.

After these few days of exercise, people have become accustomed to this kind of life.

All kinds of work progressed very smoothly, and after a while, a strong smell of barbecue wafted out.

We ate, drank enough water, and immediately began to rest.

Since this place is very close to the Turkic settlement, Duan Wuji divided these guards into two groups.

Everyone changed to watch the night.

Duan Wuji said to the guards on duty: "Guys, pay attention, this place is a little closer to the Turkic residents, so it is extremely dangerous.

You have to be vigilant!Once there is any danger, we all have to finish the game! "

"Boss Duan, we know this.

Don't worry, if there is any situation, we will call the people in the tent first. "

"Well, that's fine!"

After Duan Wuji finished giving instructions, he stepped into the tent.

At this time, a fire was already lit in the tent, and it was very warm inside.

Everyone was tired, and after a while, people began to play loudly.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, people had breakfast, packed their things, and immediately started on the road.

The further north we went, the thicker the grass, the deeper the snow on the ground, and small forests appeared on the grassland.

The car rolled against the white snow, making a creaking sound.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Yelu Hengtong, why are there more trees now? Isn't there few trees on this grassland? Why are there more trees?"

Yelu Hengtong laughed and said: "There are many trees in this place, and the more you go north, the more trees there are.

Around the North Sea, there are fewer grasslands and more forests.

When we arrived at the North Sea, there were vast forests everywhere!You will know where you go, do you think that our Turkic country does not have a large area of ​​forest?Then you are completely wrong. "

"That's right, it looks like the Turkic Kingdom is big enough! It's even bigger than our Great Sui Kingdom!"

"What's your business in the Great Sui Kingdom? It's much smaller than our Turkic Kingdom.

It's just that your Great Sui Kingdom has a relatively large population.

In terms of population, the people in our Turkic country do not have as many people as you in the Central Plains.

Since it is our East Turks, the population is even smaller. The combined population of our East Turks must not be 100 million.

Moreover, we East Turkic people are not very united, and we have divided into many small groups.

Otherwise, there is no strength to compete with your Great Sui Kingdom.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons for it.

Hey, you said what's the use of us brothers talking about this?
We ordinary people, why do we care about these state affairs?Isn't this full of food?

Let's go, it's still important for us to make money. "

The caravan went northward for another seven or eight days. At noon that day, Yelu Hengtong said with a smile: "We will reach the destination by walking another hour or so. Everyone, please work harder! We are here." In that place, everyone can rest and rest, the long journey of more than ten days, to be honest, is quite tiring."

When everyone heard that they were about to reach their destination, they all let out a long sigh of relief!
