Jinyi Night Walk

A group of cavalry holding red flags galloped past, raising smoke and dust all the way.

Their chests, saddles, saddle pads, quiver, belts, spears, shields and batons are all red. This is a pro-army guard of Khan Timur, patrolling the barracks.Soldiers, craftsmen, and merchants made way for them one after another.

Facing them, there is a white cavalry team approaching, all their equipment is white.

The two ranks crossed, and the two cavalry leaders in chain mail raised their hands in salute.Such two mighty teams rushed past, immediately bringing a sense of killing on the battlefield, but on both sides of the road they passed by, there were many stalls.

This so-called road is made up of vendors' stalls. They spread a felt blanket on the ground, put food, saddles, iron tools, leather, medicinal materials... and start trading.There is only one shed with a white cloth on the side of the road, and a barber inside is trimming the hair and beard of the warrior holding the helmet.

The solemnity and leisurely hustle and bustle are perfectly blended together.

Being in it, the line of sight is bound to be blocked. If you look down from a high place, you can see that there is a large Turkish bath on the left side of the booth, a row of wooden houses, and steaming heat from the windows. Those who had finished their baths were coming out, others were going in.

Not far behind the vendor's position on the other side is an empty circular field, where a circus troupe is performing bear and monkey shows.

As the line of sight continues to rise, the scope will further expand. When you look down from the sky like an eagle, you will find that all of this is just a small corner of the huge tent city. At midnight, you can't see the edge of the city, even the eagle's eyes can't see the end.

This is the camp of the Chinese army where Tie Muer was stationed, a mobile city.

An Indian with a cloth wrapped around his head sat cross-legged on a pegboard and played a bamboo flute. Two king cobras danced in front of him, although their fangs had been pulled out. , the people next to him still kept a respectful distance, far away from him, so he got very little reward money, but this skinny entertainer didn't care, he still closed his eyes slightly, playing his flute.

Compared with this Indian Ah San, who is not very popular, and the income from performing arts can only fill his stomach, a circus next to him is very popular, because the dance of two snakes is far less charming than the enchanting two snakes. The woman scratched her head and posed. It was a small group of entertainers who had just arrived at this military castle to pan for gold.

The soldiers liked to watch their performances very much. Not only did they know a lot of juggling and magic tricks, but they also had wonderful dances. The wonderful dances were performed by two women with enchanting bodies, which would definitely attract the attention of all men.

According to the requirements of the teachings believed by Timur Khan, all male and female members of society are prohibited from adultery, adultery, adultery, and homosexuality. Whether they are slaves or free people, they are absolutely not allowed to engage in it or force others to engage in it.Therefore, although it is not known whether those who secretly momo have this behavior in the military camps that are not under the direct control of Timur, but here, no one dares to violate this rule.

In the barracks, except for the permission of Timur Khan under special circumstances, alcoholic beverages are absolutely not allowed at other times, even soldiers who believe in other religions are not allowed, and gambling is also not allowed.Alcohol, sex, and gambling are not allowed. These strong and energetic soldiers can only find other fun after training.

Therefore, all kinds of performance art forms have a big market and are extremely popular here.

The little circus was warmly welcomed by the soldiers within a few days after arriving here.The art groups here are all performing in various military camps, and this small circus is the most popular wherever they go.

After the two dancers finished their performance, they retreated gracefully behind the curtain set up with a piece of tarpaulin. A bearded man wrapped in a white handkerchief immediately rolled over in front of the spectators with a clown nose and hands A copper gong was held inside, and there was a "boom", and then the gong turned over, and it became a plate begging for money.

The coins thrown by the soldiers clanged and landed on the gong, and he bowed and laughed along with him, shouting in broken Turkic: "Ha! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your reward, please don't go away, Next, our little girl will perform magic tricks for you!"

In the crowd, there were a few people who were covered from head to toe with turbans and robes, and they also wore veils on their faces, but from their graceful eyebrows and charming eyes, it could be seen that It is a few women.These women also held weapons in their hands, and they exchanged a few words in a low voice before turning and leaving.

When one of the women turned around, she waved her hand, and a string of money flew up and landed precisely on the gong of the bearded man.

"thanks, thanks……"

The bearded man thanked him in an exaggerated tone and poor language, and at the same time grabbed the handfuls of copper coins and hurriedly stuffed them into his arms.If Ming'er, Ziqi and the others were here, they probably wouldn't recognize that this juggler with dark skin and a bushy beard covering most of his cheeks, who was constantly nodding and bowing to the audience, was their husband Yang. Asahi.

Xia Xun stared at the female soldiers who had left. Although they were wearing fat robes, a gust of wind blew their robes against their bodies, exposing their attractive figures.Xia Xun thought to himself: "These female soldiers are under Tie Mu'er's tent. This place is not far from his big tent of the Chinese army, but it's a pity that it's so close, as if at the end of the world. It's really hard to get closer. It's like ascending to the sky."

Xia Xun sighed secretly, and raised his voice again: "Hey! The clever magic show is about to begin, please enjoy it!"

After saying that, a little girl wearing a robe and a veil came out from behind the curtain wearing a colorful magic carpet...

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

There was a burst of cheers and applause from outside, and Tang Saier's performance won everyone's warm welcome from the very beginning.

Before Xia Xun came here, he never thought that the supposedly solemn and well-disciplined military camp could look like this. However, even though the military camp looked like a fully functional city, Xia Xun could feel the huge energy contained in it and orderly.

Perhaps, it is precisely because this military camp is as well-equipped as a city, that such an army can fight for thousands of miles, as if they were in their hometown.And in the army of the Central Plains, the inevitable phenomenon of no discipline exists, because it has always accompanied their army in this way, and behaviors such as drinking, sex, and gambling cannot be operated here due to the prohibition of doctrine, so after a long period of running-in, not only It will not have an impact on their military discipline, but it will become a useful supplement to the Expeditionary Force of the Timurid Empire.

Xia Xun returned to the back of the tent, immediately took off the clown's nose, threw it together with the gong on a broken bag, and sat down on the dirty broken felt blanket.

Although learning how to be a dragon like a dragon and learning how to be like a tiger like a tiger, Xia Xun has no lack of training in this area, and the pampered life in the past few years will not make him lose his airs, but he keeps jumping around the edge of the field like a real entertainer It is really tiring to take the jump and yell at the top of your lungs the few seemingly unreasonable yells he has learned.

Chen Dong and Ye Anhui would have extremely good wrestling skills, but under Sai Hazhi's guidance, they quickly mastered the characteristics of unique wrestling skills. Therefore, the two of them are also actors now. With his spine down, wearing a short skirt full of strips of various colors, he wrestled like a big man.They had entered before Sirin and Jeanne, and they were resting at the moment.

Sirin and Jeanna specialize in performing dance and music, and are the pillars of the entire circus. Their performances are the most popular among the soldiers, followed by Chen Dong and Ye An's wrestling.Tang Sai'er is good at magic, and she just took out a little gadget, which is enough to make these idle soldiers shout it's funny.

As for Liu Yujue... Xia Xun thought that he would be more useful than him, at least he turned somersaults beautifully.But after arriving here, Liu Yujue soon found a performance project that suits her.He can play the flute, he can also write, he can bow with both hands left and right, and write calligraphy at the same time.

Samarkand can now be said to be the most eclectic place in the entire world. It has concentrated many brilliant artists, craftsmen and literati, as well as engineers and scientists from the Eurasian continent.

After the Yuan Dynasty was defeated and retreated to Mobei, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Yuan Dynasty gave up the Beiyuan court and fled back to Mobei, and switched to Timur's command. These high-ranking officials and nobles who were loyal to the Yuan Dynasty included Communists and Han Chinese, and most of them had deep Sinology. , so Chinese characters are not uncommon in Samarkand.

Liu Yujue's Han facial features are too obvious, and his deliberate pretense makes people suspicious. Anyway, there are mixed races of Asian, European and African races in this city-like military camp, and there are many Han Chinese among them. This shows that he is a Han Chinese. The down-and-out Han literati are safer.

Although these soldiers may not know Chinese characters, they are more interested in writing with two hands at the same time, and writing two different lines of words at the same time. The boring life in the military camp makes them happy to find all kinds of fun, so Liu Yujue also became a soldier. played a joke.

However, the three men sent by Harry Sultan who were proficient in multiple languages ​​in Central Asia were originally one of his confidant warriors. They were unsmiling and dull-looking.

Therefore, in this circus, Lord Yang Xuyang, the Duke of Fuguo, who can talk to people and talk to ghosts, pretends to be a dragon like a dragon, and pretends to be a tiger like a tiger, has become the person with the lowest status. He is in charge of beating the gong Picking up customers, bowing and collecting money, and being in charge of being a clumsy clown for everyone's entertainment during the intermission between the actors on and off.

What?And Sehaji?

Sai Hazhi is a Japanese, and most of Timur's army are Japanese and Turkic people. Is there anyone more suitable than Sai Hazhi?

So Sai Hazhi naturally became the master of the circus troupe.

Master Sai coughed and said in a long voice, "Xiao Xia..."

Xia Xun shivered, jumped up quickly, and leaned in front of the old Buddha: "Master, please order!"

Master Sai said slowly: "Handle things with care, if they are broken, what can I do?"

Not to mention, the back tent is full of wind, so it's really easy to be seen. Xia Xun can do this, and it's normal for Sai Hazhi, the boss, to see Guan Guan.Xilin and Rangna watched with a suppressed smile, and Xia Xun nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes, sir, what you taught me is right!"

Then he said a few words to him in a low voice.Sai Hazhi's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, and he coughed and said, "I think the people here like our troupe, so let's stay here for a few more days and don't rush away." Xia Xun secretly praised , Lao Sai looks rude, but there are subtleties in the thick and thin. I was worried that he didn't look like it.

After a while, Tang Sai'er performed a few tricks, and then Liu Yujue came on stage.Liu Yujue had shaved off his beard and regained his handsome appearance. Among the crowd, his performance was not particularly popular, but it was good to watch, and it was better than nothing.

On stage today, Liu Yujue, as usual, played a flute first, in exchange for a little applause, Liu Yujue did not take it seriously, and performed calligraphy again.The layman watched the excitement, and the audience was interested in his ability to write two different lines of text at the same time while being distracted and dual-purpose, and the applause was also for this reason.

After the performance, Liu Yujue smiled slightly, bowed and stepped off the stage, but he didn't expect someone to follow him backstage.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Hey, this is the backstage, who told you to come in?"

As soon as the man broke into the back tent, a warrior named Zangfeng sent by Harry Sultan to cooperate with Xia Xun and others immediately dropped his work and went up to him and shouted in Turkic.

Hearing the sound, Xia Xun raised his head and glanced at the person who came. This woman was about fifty years old, with shallow wrinkles on her face, three long beards, and a clean face. She was wearing a Chinese-style blue cotton robe.

The man smiled, looked at Liu Yujue, and said in fluent Chinese: "I think this little brother can write well. In this place, compatriots who can speak Chinese fluently are very rare. People who can hold a brush It is even rarer to write with such a charm. I just don’t know how the little brother fell into such a situation with such a talent for learning?”

When this person speaks, he not only speaks Chinese with correct pronunciation, but also his tone is extremely gentle and refined, which sounds like a warm wind.

Xia Xun and Liu Yujue looked at each other and hurried forward together.Liu Yujue bowed his body and saluted, "Old man, the late-born surname is Bai, and Bai Yuluo."

Guo Yixuan gave a soft "ah", nodded his head and said: "The name is very elegant, and the appearance is also good, but..., the little brother has a handsome personality and a full body of knowledge, but now he has fallen to this level, it is really white jade. It seems that this name is a bit unlucky."

Liu Yujue said seriously: "The name is given by the parents. How can a child be picky and criticize himself? The fate of life is unpredictable. If it is because the name is unknown, it may not be!"

The man laughed out loud, nodded his head and said, "It's the old man who said something wrong, please don't blame me!"

Liu Yujue clasped his hands and said, "I haven't asked your sir's name yet."

The man stroked his beard and said proudly: "My surname is Guo, Guo Yixuan! The descendant of the Queen of Fenyang County in the Tang Dynasty!"

p: An embarrassing journey all the way, embarrassing incident [-]: It’s been a long time since I arrived at the hotel, only to see that Feng Ling was late, and after asking, I learned another thing: Feng Ling is blind.

Only then did I know why he was so eager to wait for me to go with me~~~

When he found out that I was in Pudong, he had no choice but to leave by himself. As a result, he wandered around Hongqiao Airport for a long time and couldn’t find the way out. It aroused the suspicion of the security guards and quietly followed him.

Finally he got tired of walking around, so he found a corner, put his bag away, and squatted on the ground, while continuing to look for the way and spy on the stewardess, he opened the purse, as if he wanted to grab something.The security guard, as if facing a formidable enemy, immediately rushed forward and held him down...

In the end, under the escort of two security guards, he left in a majestic manner, like a gangster brother.

Poor man, it's a miracle that this product came to the hotel intact^_^! .
