Chapter 13 The young man’s guide—Lao Sheeppi

If the beautiful little girl in the tribe always belongs to the Khan, then the best young man in the tribe belongs to the young man's guide - Lao Yangpi.

Whenever the singer plucks the harp with her slender snow-white fingers, and whenever the troubadour sings "Ogusi Biography" to praise the ancestors of the Huihe people, a figure will appear next to the bravest young man in the tribe. A short old man.

"You are an eagle. It's time to leave your nest and fly. This small tribe cannot tolerate a hero like you."

"You are the wisest young man I have ever met. Hurry up and leave this quagmire that will make you filthy all your life. I will follow and help you to achieve the same great achievements as King Ogus."

"You are a real warrior, and a real warrior should not sleep with big-tailed sheep. Leave here, and I will take you to find the most beautiful women on the grassland, and guide your hands to touch those smooth, warm and snow-white bodies. , only when you ride on them will you feel that you are a real warrior."

"Ah, young Huihe, how can you endure the life of herding sheep day after day and night after night?

You should mount a horse and lead countless warriors to the battlefield to find your glory. You should be the center of attention, instead of being scolded and beaten by those incompetent people in the tribe who are as incompetent as marmots all day long. To torture you and humiliate you. "

"Follow me. There is nothing in your tribe except lice that drink blood and eat flesh. Go outside and take a look. Wherever the sun shines, there is gold. You just need to get there, pick up your shovel, and use your strength. Yes, just shovel it down hard, and the gold will belong to you..."

The above are the special words Lao Yangpi uses to target all the young people he likes in the Uighur tribe.

After listening to a passage, some young people hurriedly packed their things and followed Lao Yangpi.

Such a young man would usually be sent to the battle cage by Lao Yangpi to try his luck. If he died in the battle, the people from the Shi Kingdom would give Lao Yangpi a bag of gold sand. If he was lucky enough to win, Lao Yangpi could get more.

Some young people followed the old sheepskin after listening to two paragraphs. After a long time, people might see him in the harem of a certain king. At that time, he was wearing gorgeous clothes and sparkling gems. Nestled in the king's arms, he sang long passages of "The Biography of Ogus" for the guests with a sharp voice.

Others have become horse thieves... The reason why there are so many horse thieves and robbers in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains is because of the power of Lao Yangpi's dedication.

Yun Chu is like the moonlight in the dark night and lightning in the dark clouds in the Aries department. Lao Yangpi will naturally not let him go.

When Yun Chu was eight years old, he was spotted by Lao Yangpi. He wanted Yun Chu to go with him. He repeated the words he had prepared long ago over and over again, but he couldn't move Yun Chu's determination. heart of.

If it were an ordinary Uighur, Lao Yangpi would have given up. After all, it is not strange for one or two smart people to appear in such a large ethnic group.

However, Lao Yangpi did not give up on Yun Chu. He would come to the Aries Department every other month and continue to trick Yun Chu into following him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to go to the trouble himself and taught Yun Chu a lot of things.

Lao Yangpi is a wise man. He knows that as long as he keeps investing, he will one day gain more things from Yun Chu.

Yun Chu thought so too... He felt that what he learned from Lao Yangpi was very important to him, especially speaking Chang'an Mandarin, writing Tang Chinese characters with a brush, and learning Tang people's etiquette...

By studying with Lao Yangpi, Yunchu discovered that Lao Yangpi's understanding of the Tang Dynasty was beyond what he, a person who knew about the Tang Dynasty from history books, could compare to.

He likes to learn from Lao Yangpi.

After five years, Yunchu learned very quickly, even far exceeding Lao Yangpi's expectations.

Recently, Lao Yangpi couldn't bear it anymore. In fact, three years ago, Lao Yangpi hoped that Yun Chu would follow him.

Now, what Yun Chu was not sure about was whether Lao Yangpi was going to send him into the fighting cage or become a horse thief. However, judging from Lao Yangpi's investment in him, the target should be - Datang.

Even so, Yunchu couldn't help but tremble when he heard Jiesga mention the battle cage selection, while Naha burst into tears.

The Shi Kingdom's reputation for war cage selection is extremely famous throughout the Western Region. On the banks of Yaoshashui River outside Zhezhi City, the Royal Court of Shi Kingdom, there will forever stand a huge iron cage five meters long, five meters wide and three meters high. The cage is covered with murderous iron thorns.

Whenever a warrior from other places rings the iron bell next to the iron cage, the Stone King's Court will send a brave warrior into the cage.

The warriors from other places need to enter the iron cage and kill the warriors sent by the Stone Kingdom with bare hands. If they defeat this warrior, he can replace the warrior from the Stone Kingdom and become the new warrior of the Stone Kingdom!

Once you become a soldier of the Stone Kingdom, you will be able to obtain a lot of treasures, beautiful women, and a beautiful courtyard.

If you fail, there is only one outcome - death!

The battle cage selection is the fastest way to make a fortune for the warriors of the Western Regions. At the same time, it is also the shortest way to death.

Over the years, countless warriors have died in battle cages.

Among those who died, 60% were challengers ten years ago, and 80% were challengers five years ago. Now, it is said that more than 90% of those who have died are challengers.

This is an inevitable result, and it is probably also a strategy of the King of Stone Kingdom to recruit warriors. The force of his own soldiers is getting higher and higher, and the force of the warriors who can defeat his own soldiers must also be higher and higher. Finally, a critical point is reached. For example, now, no one has been able to successfully challenge it for a long time.

Therefore, the Shiguo warriors are the most powerful group of warriors in the Western Region.

A person who is unwilling to stay in his original tribe, especially a warrior, has few options for survival.

Leaving your original tribe and trying to survive in other tribes is extremely difficult, and you won't gain trust at all.

One of the most reliable ways to survive is to become a horse thief, relying on robbing ordinary shepherds, caravans, and camel caravans to survive.

Under normal circumstances, in the Western Region where there are so many thieves, becoming a horse thief means being prepared to fight every day. A young man like Yunchu's age will not survive for a few days before he will die in battle or be killed by his companions.

The other is to go to the Stone Kingdom to participate in the battle cage selection. Being a horse thief is a matter of narrow escape, but participating in the battle cage selection is a choice of no life.

Yunchu didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​challenging the cage! ! !

The precise education he had received told him that challenging the cage was the most inappropriate way for him to make a fortune.

The brain is a good thing. A person who lived more than 1,300 years later went to the second year of Emperor Yonghui of the Tang Dynasty. In order to get rich and live a good life, he abandoned his brain and chose to compete with others in terms of brute force. How stupid is this? Behavior.

"I'm not going to Zhezhi City, my goal is Kucha City!"

Jiesiga looked at Yunchu with an unclear expression and whispered: "You really want to find the Tang people."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Is there a possibility that I am from the Tang Dynasty?"

Jie Siga shook his head and said: "You can't speak the language of the Tang Dynasty, and they won't admit that you are from the Tang Dynasty."

Yun Chu immediately said in standard Tang Dynasty Mandarin: "Of course I can speak Tang Dynasty dialect. Not only can I speak it, I can also recite Tang Dynasty articles."

Although Jiesiga didn't know what Yunchu said, he heard it clearly. This was the standard speech of the Tang Dynasty. He had heard such speech when he followed the Tang army to fight against the Xue Yantuo people as a servant army.

Shocked, Jiesiga thought of the Tang people's fluttering war flags, majestic and murderous troops, but shook his head and said: "It's useless if you can speak the language of the Tang people. At most, you are a Uighur who can speak the language of the Tang people!"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Let's wait until I see Lao Yangpi."

Jie Sika seemed unwilling to say too much to Yunchu. He picked up a bay-red horse tied to the water tank by Naha and said, "This is a two-year-old war horse. I found it for you from Wang Ting." The scimitars, bows and arrows are all ready for you. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time."

Yun Chu bent down and thanked him: "Jie Sika, thank you for preparing these things for me."

Jiesika shook his head and pointed at Selema who was at a loss and said, "You should be lucky that you are Selema's son."

Yun Chu thought for a while and felt that what he said seemed to be correct, so he nodded his thanks again and said: "Take care of Selema and Naha."

Jiesika said arrogantly: "From now on, they will be the women in my big Abo tent. Who dares to hurt them?

If you can't survive outside, you can come back and I will arrange something suitable for a samurai to do for you. "

"cloud……"

Selema wanted to speak, but before she could say anything more, Jiesga hugged the crying Naha and dragged Selema towards his tent.

After watching them go away, Yun Chu came to the renovated fire pit, boiled a pot of dandelion tea, threw a few black plums into it, and waited quietly for the water to boil.

Yunchu still accepted Jiesiga's attitude towards him, who had just been promoted and made a fortune.

As a big jerk, to be treated like this by his mother's new love, it can be said that Jiesga has done everything he can.

The water was boiling and the dandelion tea was ready. Yun Chu picked up the wooden bowl and took a sip of the bitter tea. He felt that his whole body was relaxed and he felt indescribably happy.

After thirteen years in the Western Region, the two people he couldn't let go of most were Selema and Naha. Now, Selema has a new man, and Naha has returned to the arms of her biological father. Yunchu sincerely thanks Jiesi Karma.

Narrowing his eyes and looking at the maroon horse tied to the pillar, Yun Chu couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, he even felt that God's arrangements were really very considerate sometimes.

From this moment on, he could finally return to his hometown and visit the Tang Dynasty, which the herdsmen said was like a paradise.
