Zhuo Yanlun kept his promise, and soon sent several people out to find out the whereabouts of the envoys from Qin, and ordered the centurion to rearrange the tents for Chu Huan and Meiniang.

Chu Huan already knew that this centurion was called Yun Tuli, who was in charge of the security work of Zhuoyan's headquarters. When talking with Yun Tuli, he learned that what Chu Huan saw now was only Zhuoyan's headquarters. , within a hundred miles around Moon Lake, there are many camps of the Zhuoyan tribe, but when Chu Huan asked about the Golden Tribe, Yun Tuli didn't explain much.

Zhuo Yan's reception was very good, and there was a rich dinner in the evening. The tent arranged for Meiniang was not far from Chu Huan, but the dinner was not shared.

After Chu Huan had dinner, he wanted to go out for a walk, but thinking that the other party who asked the Golden Tribe today was vague and did not explain, it seemed that he was still very defensive against himself.

He also knew that it was not because of his status as an envoy of Qin that he was able to enjoy the warm hospitality from the Zhuoyan Department, but because of Shi Qiluo Talange, who took good care of him for Qiluo's sake, but They also did not hide their defenses against themselves. If they were walking around in Zhuoyan's headquarters at this time, the other party would not say anything, but they would definitely not be happy in their hearts.

Then I remembered that I hadn't practiced the "Dragon Elephant Sutra" for a few days. Since I broke through the floating dust way in the desert, I haven't practiced it since then. I already thought of the formula of the third way of pure land. Practice formulas to practice.

But halfway through his practice, he heard Qi Luo's voice coming from outside the tent, and immediately stopped, stood up, and went to open the tent, but saw Qi Luo outside the tent, looking a little hesitant, seeing Chu Huan open the tent , startled for a moment, then said awkwardly: "Huan... Brother Huan, haven't you rested yet?"

This time, the hospitality in Zhuoyan Department was all due to Qi Luo's contribution. Chu Huan had already smiled and said gently: "Qi Luo, you haven't rested yet?" Conspicuous, just like an ordinary Xiliang shepherd girl, not like Talange of the dignified golden tribe.

Qi Luo opened her mouth, but stopped talking, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start, Chu Huan had already smiled and said, "Come in first!"

Xiliang people really don't have the incompatibility between men and women that people in the Central Plains say. Even in the middle of the night, it won't make people feel strange if lonely men and widows are together.

In fact, in Xiliang, especially among the young herdsmen, it is common for young men and women to decide their lives privately. Compared with the orders of parents in the Central Plains and the words of matchmakers, young people in Xiliang are much more free in love.

After entering the tent, Chu Huan poured a cup of manai tea for Qi Luo, and said with a smile, "I'm borrowing flowers to offer Buddha!"

"Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha?" Qi Luo was taken aback, but she was also a smart girl, and she quickly figured out the meaning, and said with a smile: "Brother Huan, what you said is really interesting."

Chu Huan chuckled, sat down opposite Qi Luo, and said softly, "Qi Luo, I didn't know you were Talange. If there is any negligence on the way, don't take it to heart."

Qi Luo immediately said seriously: "Brother Huan, Qi Luo is in front of you, not some Talange, but Qi Luo, a friend of yours!"

Chu Huan smiled and nodded, "I have always regarded you as a friend!"

Qi Luo said: "If it wasn't for you, Qi Luo would have died in the desert, and Qi Luo would never forget your kindness to Qi Luo in this lifetime."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Don't talk about kindness. If someone else meets you, they will lend a helping hand."

Qi Luo shook her head and said: "You are wrong. Although it is my first time to enter the desert, I have heard that once you fall in the desert, even if others see you, they will not easily rescue you, because in the desert Among them, food and water are more precious than gold, and helping others is like shortening your own life!" She stared at Chu Huan, her eyes filled with gratitude: "When we have no food and water, you use your own blood Come and save us, Qi Luo knows that you are the kindest person in the world."

Chu Huan smiled slightly, but he was thinking about the scene that day, when Qi Luo and Mei Niang fell down one after another, Chu Huan had no food and water on him, and he couldn't hold on, or maybe it was impulsive at the time, and he didn't want to look at these two women He was dying in front of his eyes, so he cut his wrists and fed blood. In fact, at that time, he only thought that even if he cut his wrists and fed blood, the three of them would still die in the desert. up the desert.

Thinking of the three of them supporting each other and walking down in the desert, Chu Huan couldn't help but feel warm.

"Qi Luo, I heard from Patriarch Zhuo Yan that you went to the desert alone to find your brother?" Chu Huan asked, "Is that true?"

Qi Luo pondered for a while, finally nodded and said: "Exactly. I came here tonight to apologize to you. In the desert, I didn't know who you are, so I concealed my identity and deceived you. I'm really sorry!" When she said this, her expression was a little embarrassed and uneasy, as if she felt very guilty towards Chu Huan for concealing her identity.

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, "This is what a smart girl should do. If you easily reveal your identity, you are a fool!"

Hearing this, Qi Luo breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Chu Huan call herself a "little idiot", her heart felt sweet for a while, but her expression soon darkened, and she said, "Brother Huan, actually we don't want to fight with you, brother is with the army. It was not his original intention to set off."

Chu Huan became serious and asked, "Qi Luo, there is a question that I really don't understand, but if it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to tell me."

"what is the problem?"

"Nine Parts of Xiliang!" Chu Huan said seriously, "I'm very unfamiliar with Xiliang, and I've never heard of the Nine Parts of Xiliang. I don't know what the Nine Parts of Xiliang is?"

"The Nine Tribes of Xiliang are the nine golden tribes of Daxiliang." Qiluo was very happy and did not hide it: "The Yanyan tribe in the eastern Hanhai, the Gusa tribe in the Tianlang Mountain in the northeast, the Liuli tribe in the Daxue Mountain in the north, and the black tribe in the southwest. The Zhula tribe on the banks of the Shui River, the Qingtan tribe in the Mangha Prairie in the south, the Luocha tribe in the southeast Luochahai, the Zangtula tribe in the southwest Yingshan...!" After a pause, seeing Chu Huan listening carefully, he continued Said: "In addition to these seven major tribes, there is also the Nashi tribe in the Gulaqin prairie in the west of our country. The head of the nine golden tribes is the Maha tribe in the Qingluo prairie, and also our royal family in Daxiliang!"

"So that's it!" Chu Huan finally understood, "Isn't the Zhuoyan tribe the golden tribe?"

"They are the silver tribe!" Qi Luo seems to know the political structure of Xiliang very well: "When the Xiliang Kingdom was established, nine golden tribes were established, and apart from Maha Cang, who was a royal family, the other eight were powerful. Moreover, the tribes that made great contributions back then were all granted the title of Golden Tribe, and all important officials in Daxiliang must come from the Golden Tribe, and in the army, only those from the Golden Tribe can serve as officers and generals above a thousand commanders." Paused , continued: "Under each gold tribe, there are five major silver tribes, which belong to the management of the gold tribe. Under the silver tribe, there are many bronze tribes. People from the silver tribe can serve as ordinary officials in Qingluo City. , in the army, you can serve as ten and centurion commanders, but the bronze tribe can only serve as ordinary soldiers."

"That is to say, people from the Bronze Tribe will never be able to stand out?" Chu Huan wondered.

Qi Luo shook his head and said: "That's not the case. If the warriors of the Bronze Tribe make great contributions, even the Silver Tribe can't compare, then the title of the Silver Tribe will be stripped and they will become the Bronze Tribe, and the Bronze Tribe can rely on their military exploits." , become the Silver Tribe. But the Gold Tribe will never be deprived of their title. If there is an individual warrior in the Bronze Tribe who is very brave and makes great contributions to the construction, Qingluo King City will transfer him to the Two Guards of Xiliang!"

"The Two Guards of Xiliang?"

"Exactly!" Qi Luo explained: "The Babaitu Guards and Tarek Guards, in the words of your Central Plains, are the Sirius Guards and the Eagle Guards. They are the most elite guards in Daxiliang. Their duties are Most of the people who protect the Qingluo King City are from the Moha tribe in the Qingluo Prairie and the silver and bronze tribes under it, and only a small number of people from other tribes can be selected into the Double Guards!"

Seeing that Chu Huan frowned, Qi Luo explained in more detail: "The Maha gold tribe is a royal family. Below them are six silver tribes and more than 50 bronze tribes. We call them the Maha people. The number of the Maha people A lot of them, when their men reach their age, they have to be selected to serve in the Shuangwei Army. The Babaitu Guard has 2 people, and the Tariq Guard also has 2 people. These 4 people are the most powerful army in Xiliang. They have the best horses, the best armor, the best sabers, bows and arrows, they don’t need to graze, they just need to train their soldiers, and when they fight, they are invincible!”

Chu Huan immediately asked, "Will the Shuangwei Army be sent to Qin?"

Qi Luo shook his head and said: "No, they are the guards guarding Qingluo City, and they will not be transferred easily. Even the King of the South Court has no right to transfer them. Only the eldest prince Mahazang can transfer the Babaitu Guards, and the Tarik Guards , is commanded by the second prince Mahara!" A look of anger suddenly appeared in his eyes: "The army sent to your Qin country has less than 3000 people from Maha, and most of them are generals. The warriors were all recruited from the other eight gold tribes and the silver and bronze tribes they belonged to. Fifteen thousand warriors from our history tribe were transferred to the battlefield, of which 2000 warriors from the Zhuoyan tribe were transferred away. Zhuoyan The Bronze Tribe under the Ministry has recruited more than 2000 people, and our Shiben tribe has transferred [-] people, and my brother Shi Yanhui is also among them!" At this point, Qi Luo clenched her fists, her big eyes were full of anger .

Although Chu Huan was still a little fuzzy, Qi Luo's words had given Chu Huan a rough outline of Xiliang's political system in his mind.

There are nine golden tribes in Xiliang State. The Maha tribe is a royal family and the dominant tribe in Xiliang State. They have privileges over other tribes. They have a strong standing army and do not participate in foreign wars.

Those who were really used for foreign wars were the soldiers of the other eight gold tribes and the silver and bronze tribes to which they belonged. There is no doubt that Xiliang is a country with a very strict hierarchy, and it is the Maha tribe who enjoy the privileges at the top of the tower.
