On the grassland.
Several handsome horses galloped on the endless grassland.
On the leader's horse, a woman wearing fiery red clothes was waving a long whip and scolding from time to time.
Four more horses followed closely behind.
After running wildly for a while, we crossed a hillside in front of us and suddenly saw a bright view.
From the top down, you can overlook a habitat with lush water and grass.
Dotted with tents, this is a typical nomadic residence on the grassland.
"Is this the location of the Iron Teeth and Golden Tent?"
Luo Xingchen turned over and dismounted. He took out a water bag from his waist, squeezed some into his hand, wiped his face first, and then poured a sip into his mouth.
There were some rivers along the way, but he didn't dare to get water.
Ever since it was determined that large areas of grass on the grassland were poisonous, he did not dare to drink unboiled water.
Raw water contains viruses. This is something that his mother Yang Ruoqing has repeatedly emphasized to him. Drinking water must be boiled water. This is the most basic.
He had seen the tiny insects in the water with his own eyes. Using a special instrument to magnify tiny insects that were invisible to the eyes was no longer a very unusual thing in the Capital Science and Technology Garden.
After asking a question, he sat down beside the horse and rested for a while.
Uzhina also dismounted. Along the way, her face was gloomy, without a smile. Even though she was very beautiful, her face was always dark, which made people feel heavy.
"The Iron Tooth and Golden Tent is right here." Uzhina stretched her arms and bent her body into a nice arc.
"I remember that you said that there are four major settlements under the Horqin tribe, each named after the Golden Tent. This Iron Teeth Golden Tent is the strongest among them..."
"But I took a look just now and visually there are not many tents set up."
Luo Xingchen hung the water bag on his waist and looked at Uzhina with a smile.
Just because Uzhina didn't want to smile, it didn't mean that he wanted to imitate her and keep a straight face.
To put it bluntly, in his opinion, the Horqin tribe was an alien race on the grassland. They had nothing to deal with in the first place, and even if they were all dead, it would be nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to find out who was behind the scenes, he wouldn't want to wade through the flood.
"This is just the core settlement. There are dozens more scattered around here..."
"The Iron Teeth Golden Tent has tens of thousands of herdsmen. It can recruit warriors who are good at fighting. It can pull out seven or eight thousand. It is a very powerful force."
Uzhina said in a cold voice: "I have to find a way to master the Iron Teeth and Golden Tent so that I can have the capital to turn around the Horqin tribe."
"That's a good idea. How are you going to start?" Luo Xingchen's lips curved.
"The leader of the Iron Teeth and Golden Tent is Qing Geertai, who was my childhood playmate. As long as he is willing to surrender, that's all." Uzhina said.
Luo Xingchen smiled faintly: "Why should he surrender to you? I don't believe in the friendship between childhood playmates. You grassland people are sometimes more cunning than the people in the Central Plains. Falling out is like turning over a book. Betrayal is commonplace."
The more he knew about prairie people, the less he liked them.
The prairie people are savage, do not keep their word, betray as much as they drink water and eat, and all of them have the ability to maneuver according to the wind.
Of course, this is mainly the nobles in the upper strata of the prairie. The people at the lower strata are mostly barbaric and have many weird customs, such as sons taking over their father's wives and concubines.
Thinking of these, Luo Xingchen thought of Master Qiku.
Poor Master Qiku has not been heard from since he entered the vast grassland. If he cannot come back, how should he explain to the little monk Qixi?
Sometimes when he thought of Master Qiku, Luo Xingchen felt a little regretful. If he had known in advance that there were such big changes in the grassland, he would not have sent Master Qiku into the grassland.
"Sir, you are prejudiced against prairie people." Uzhina gritted her teeth and spoke with a hint of anger in her voice.
"At least that's what I see among many prairie nobles, but you are not among them..."
There was one thing Luo Xingchen didn't say out loud, that is, this Uzhina was a fool at heart. If it wasn't for her luck, she would have died a few times ago.
"You don't understand how the grassland people live..."
"At the beginning of spring, there will be sandstorms coming in the west, and strong winds will even uproot tents, and cattle and sheep will be blown into the sky. When summer comes, there will be continuous drought in some places, and the grassland will die, so you can only change places to graze. Many grassland people died in their families on the way to migration."
"Insect plagues, plagues, hailstorms, and white plagues in winter, everything looks like the god of death. How many grassland people can live a peaceful life."
Speaking of this, Uzhina's big eyes sparkled with tears.
"Where can there be no natural disasters? There are also natural disasters in the Central Plains, and there are also natural disasters in Daliao. Even countries in the far west like Yajili may encounter huge storms and tsunamis at sea. This is not a reason for the grassland people to not unite. .”
Luo Xingchen said.
"Only the Central Plains has the most fertile land in the world. As long as you sow seeds in the land, you can get a harvest, but the grassland...can't do that."
Uzhina shook her head.
Uzhina was right. The soil on the grassland has a high sand content, making it impossible to grow crops.
If the land is shoveled away for planting, once the wind and sand come, it will be submerged and eventually a sand dune will be formed.
Many of the latest deserts are caused by humans destroying the environment.
"Okay, these are all fait accompli. Let's not talk about it. I'm here with you this time to help you solve the prairie people's problem."
Luo Xingchen stood up. After resting for a while, some of his physical strength also recovered.
Ye Yi, who was sitting silently beside him, also stood up. This time he followed Luo Xingchen deep into the grassland. With his escort, he would be much safer. After all, he was a real master.
His arrival this time was arranged by Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang has left Daxia with the National Guard Army and returned to Qianji City. Most of his mission has been completed, and he will leave it to the Qianji Army.
Luo Xingchen also gained a lot from his search for mineral veins this time. After finishing his work on the grassland, he could turn around.
However, things on the grassland are complicated and cannot be solved overnight.
"This time I'm counting on you. I don't care what happens to other tribes. I just want the Horqin tribe to tide over the difficulties." Uzhina said with firm eyes.
Luo Xingchen sighed inwardly. She was such a silly girl. How could the Horqin tribe remember her? She was still fighting for her life for the Horqin tribe.
However, only if this kind of silly girl leads the Horqin tribe can he carry out his grassland ranch plan.
Without enough money, it was impossible to build an invincible fleet. He had to find ways to increase business channels.
