The Western Region of the Great Yuan Dynasty has always been inaccessible. Most of the people who occasionally come here are those who have made a living by nomadic herders for generations. Although they may not be rich with their cattle and sheep, they have no worries about food and clothing. It is just more hard work and they often have to move their accounts. When the family started, the cattle and sheep went to other places to live in lush pastures. This was the case year after year.
There have never been many families in Dayuan who have relied on cattle and sheep to support their families for generations, but it is not that easy. In addition to going to take care of them every day, they also need to ride on good horses, carry swords and sticks, and always be on guard against hiding in deep grass. If the wolves in the trough are a little careless, the wolves in Dayuan are cunning and cunning, and they may kill all the cattle and sheep in the family, and they often hurt people, and they are extremely spiritual.
A few days ago, in the fertile fields of the Western Territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty, there was a family of five people who had moved in. In addition to the man and his wife, who always looked dull and dull, they also had three sons. They were all about the same age, and they were all just over the age of Chuiju. However, They all have strong muscles. They are sitting on the horse with a knife and stick in their hands. It is clear from the posture that they are very skilled in riding. It is obvious that the horses are not equipped with saddles and bridles, but their bodies are still stable. They often sit upright on the horse and play, showing good riding skills. Quite clever. This is probably the norm for young men in the Great Yuan Dynasty. They may not be able to read or write, but from a young age they have to hone their bodies to an extremely high level. They must be proficient in swords and horses and have strong muscles and bones. Only then can they withstand the cut-offs in the Great Yuan Kingdom. People grow in the wind, and the winter is cold.
Cen Shixiang had a stern expression in the past few days, and rarely spoke a word along the way. This was uncharacteristic of the norm, which indeed made the woman beside him feel very strange. Now he was about to settle the account, and the hundreds of cattle and sheep were intact. , then he took advantage of the opportunity to tie up the horse and stepped forward, frowning and asking why.
"It's not because of anything else. It's just that before I set out on my journey, I received a letter. It was delivered to my hand by a quick horse from the main account of the Great Yuan Dynasty. I'm afraid I will have to answer the letter in less than ten days. Let's go to the main tent to discuss some matters with the elders of the Dayuan tribe." Cen Shixiang tied up his horse and sighed, "My family shouldn't know about this, but I'm afraid that if I don't explain it clearly to you, I'll be worried all day long. , it has become a matter of concern, so it is better to explain it clearly first."
"Only every four years in the main account, people from various ministries come to discuss matters, but now it has not been three years, why is it so urgent." She has been exposed to wind, rain and snow for many years, the woman's face also looks dark, and her hands are no longer what they were before. Xinen, now sighing after hearing the words, has already understood something in her heart, "It is difficult for anyone to stop the power of the Xumeng Mansion. Even those sects have never harmed the Xumeng Mansion at all under the joint efforts. Now most of the clan sects are due to It is difficult to defeat its power, so we have to bow down and obey. It seems to be the general trend. There are not many sects in the Great Yuan Realm, but now the tribes have turned against each other, how can we cope with it."
Cen Shixiang also knew that his first wife, who had been with him for more than ten years, was very thoughtful and could figure out the crux of everything. As expected, after just a few words, he was guessed, and he had to smile bitterly. After making two noises, he put his sword and stick aside and said with a low expression, "You are right, but the current situation is like this. There are many tribes in the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, they have already determined their respective territories for many years, and they have not changed their territory. In the past, there were frequent conflicts and wars, but now that the Xu Meng Mansion is gaining momentum, many people have picked up the selfish desires that they had hidden for many years and rushed to attach themselves to the Xu Meng Mansion, also for their own tribes. Seeking advantage.”
There were no less than a thousand tribes in the Yuan Dynasty, and the number of clansmen among them was only sixteen. In the early years, there was no official authority to control the Yuan Dynasty. They often bumped into each other, and even the use of swords was not uncommon. After all, The people are brave and brave, and they cannot help but think about it. It must be based on their skill and the strength of the tribe. There are casualties from time to time. Fortunately, it is controlled by more than a dozen clan elders in the official account and He Han, who was said to have unparalleled means. Only then have the territories of the sixteen major clans and hundreds of thousands of small clans in the Great Yuan been determined, and they cannot be easily changed again.
After decades of peace, the Xu Meng Mansion finally gained momentum for no reason. Judging from its momentum, it was probably to destroy all the rules and patterns that had been followed for decades in the Yuan Dynasty. Qian, when he was not allowed to hold a big position, many tribes who were originally uncertain succumbed to the power of Xumeng Mansion.
"Our clan only has a few dozen members, so it is already weak. It has not been prosperous for many years. For many years since I took over as the leader of the clan, I have not invited anyone from the main clan. On the contrary, the new Hehan has some personal relations with me. , now he has sent a letter to invite me to an appointment. There are only a few strokes in the letter, and there is no mention of him, but the word "weak" is clearly mentioned outside the letter. I am afraid that among the sixteen clans, he is the only one left. The two or three major clans had their hearts set on right, so they had no choice but to invite the heads of small clans like mine to support the show and deliberately win over them."
The woman took off her fur and wiped the sweat from her temples. She didn't say anything for a long time. Instead, she frowned for a long time. With her mind spinning, she took Cen Shixiang's palm and said softly, "I know I will be tied to the main tent when I go here." One place, a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, why bother going there? The girl's family shouldn't interfere in this matter, but in the past two years in the Xu Meng Mansion, the knife in his hand has been stained with countless blood, and he uses all means to do anything, and the unscrupulous momentum cannot be stopped. , it’s better to think about it for a few more days.”
The man was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at the three men not far away. Perhaps because of the move, the three men were very happy, so they tied up the horses. They all picked up their long sticks and started to move forward and backward. The stick hit one place without realizing it, stirring up a lot of loose soil and broken grass, and the laughter spread far and wide.
"After you kill the wolf, you can decide whether to go or not. Don't worry about it all day long." The man with a razor-sharp face smiled innocently at his wife, and wiped away the sand on her forehead from the road, " I haven't had any friendship with the chief accountant for a long time. Even if I go to the chief accountant, I will definitely not work for the chief accountant easily, regardless of my wife and children at home. You have worked hard for so many years, how about letting your man choose this time?"
The woman scolded her, grabbing a piece of sand and throwing it towards the man, "If you were steady enough, how could you make me worry every day? Be more careful when you go out, especially to protect your son who doesn't know what's important."
Cen Shixiang responded hey, picked up his sword and stick again and mounted his horse. He whistled to the three young men not far away, and then galloped his horse a few feet away.
"The weather is perfect, let's go hunting wolves with dad."
Most of the men in Dayuan Grassland are illiterate, let alone how to do business. Most of the fine cattle and wolf furs are bought by merchants at a very low price. However, with only the ability to hunt wolves, most of the small tribes have no idea how to do business. The young men have all learned from an early age to use a knife in their right hand and a stick in their left hand. They can use a long stick of almost two people's height to pick a wolf's nose and hit it at the wolf's waist. If the porcelain is hit hard, it can break the wolf's waist. The ability to get going.
Although the three sons are still young, they are all proficient in this art. Each of them has killed a few big wolves. So when they heard their father's whistle, they didn't bother to fight and spar. They all jumped on their horses and charged. The woman waved her hands and started running in circles around the tent.
Almost half the country away, inside Xumeng Mansion, it was also deserted today.
Yan Qiye's temperament has never been lively, so no one in the Xumeng Mansion dared to disobey him. When the maids and servants walked around, they had already practiced the skill of standing on tiptoes. The heels did not touch the ground, only the front half of the feet. Stomping on the ground can minimize the noise, for fear that the moody Palace Master who is prone to murder will hear the noise and take his life without saying a word.
"It's a good chess game. I played it three years ago and I can still use my years of skills to slightly suppress the Palace Master's chess. Although I may not win, I can still save some face. A small loss will only last two or three years. Palace Master's chess, I am already helpless, and it will not be until two days after this game that I can see why I lost."
The scholar, who had many red hemorrhoids on his forehead, clicked his tongue, waved the folding fan in his hand twice, and finally shook his head. He no longer had the intention to shake the folding fan to ward off the heat. He smiled helplessly at the old man and surrendered.
"As expected of a scholar, he is also very good at storytelling and acting." Yan Qiye, a boy with white hair and a boyish face, raised his eyebrows, pointed a few fingers at the square jade chessboard, and said with a joking smile, "I can tell with my chess skills that you have a white piece. There are three or five ways to survive. Although it is hard to say whether we can win or not, at least we can stop the decline. You, you, are really unreal."
The literati didn't make excuses, he just glanced at the chessboard and then raised his head.
"There is a level of chess skill, and there is also a level of chess that suits your appetite. In the past, there were famous national players, but they couldn't win the blind man squatting on the roadside. So the so-called victory or defeat is just a matter of luck. In my opinion, Come on, the most brilliant chess is to rush the momentum and avoid it. The strength of the chess will replace the chess path, destroying the dead and breaking the bamboo."
Yan Qiye also laughed, patted the scholar's thigh, and said very proudly, "It's better for you, the younger generation, to understand my methods. Otherwise, how can we have a long-lasting friendship? My son may not know the brilliance of this method, but you are the only one who knows it." You can spy most of it with just one game of chess, and if you can’t tell the truth, when did you see it clearly?”
The scholar didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The old man in front of him was really moody and hard to fathom. Such a decisive and decisive master, when he was about to laugh, he deliberately slapped the wrong thigh. The force in this palm could not be eliminated for a long time, but he had no choice but to smile apologetically.
"But there are still some flaws, let me junior point them out."
"Ordinary people say that a trapped beast still fights. The Great Yuan is vast and the people are prosperous. It is not necessarily the case that there are only a dozen or so immortal sects. Although the Ziluan Palace, which has become the most famous in recent years, has no ability to struggle at all, it will be killed by you. Holding down the dragon's head, it's hard to say what secrets He Han and the clan elders in the main account have not revealed. The most urgent task is to stabilize the minds of the surrendered tribe and the immortal family. Even if they give away some benefits, it is not considered a big deal. deficit."
"Scattered benefits, in exchange for the whole territory of Yuan Dynasty, these tribes are just guarding the territory for the palace master. No matter how much they give, the palace master will definitely not feel sorry for him."
The two looked up and smiled at each other.
"Business experience."
"Big businessman."
All the chess pieces were collected on the chessboard, and a new game was set up. Incense and mist were burned in the house, reaching up to the beams.
