The sky is clear, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep can be seen low.
Standing on horseback and looking into the distance, the sky is vast, the fresh air is filled with the fragrance of green grass, and as far as the eye can see, the entire grassland is endless, the terrain is flat and vast, there are slight ups and downs in the distance, and the entire land is covered with green. Covered with grass, like a thick carpet, it looks particularly fresh against the blue sky.
Take a deep breath and feel comfortable and clear in your heart.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't expect the grassland to be like this!" Zhang Gan looked up into the distance, his eyes bright. Standing under the sky, with the endless grassland as the background, people feel very small, giving people a strong visual shock.
"The grassland is picturesque, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Speed up and enjoy the grassland! Drive!" Before he finished speaking, he had already galloped away.
Zhang Qian led his personal guards closely behind him.
The road from Shuofang to Yunzhong is a newly built official road the year before last. It is planned to connect to Jinyang in Bingzhou. However, the project is huge and it has only been built to Yunzhong at present. It is estimated that it will take another two years to build it to Jinyang. Positive.
Zhang Xiu and his horses did not take the official road, but galloped freely on the pasture.
The horses' hooves galloped across the grass, flying as fast as lightning. Zhang Xiu was riding on horseback, feeling the grassland wind blowing across his face, soft and refreshing. When the excitement in his chest suddenly swelled to the point where he could no longer contain it, he roared a loud voice to the grassland.
The powerful voice echoed in the vast sky.
Everyone also cheered.
At this moment, a group of people and horses came galloping from the side. They were very fast. At first glance, it was obvious that they were people who grew up on horses. They were skilled in horse riding and rushed towards Zhang Xiu and others.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Qian and others immediately rushed over to intercept.
Zhang Xiu reined in his horse and turned around, his eyes twitching. I saw that the leader on the opposite side turned out to be a young girl from a foreign race. She was riding a horse with a heroic figure. Her hair was all tied up in pigtails and she was wearing a few silver ornaments. She was swaying with the ups and downs of the war horse.
"Bold maniac, dare to run wild in our pasture!" The girl rushed over, reined in her horse and stopped dozens of steps away, her big and smart eyes full of hostility, "There is no official road there, why are you trampling on my home?" Pasture?”
Zhang Gan had the heavy responsibility of protecting Zhang Xiu and did not dare to let them get close, so he shouted: "Stop! There is no mark here, how do I know it is your pasture? Since my horse has trampled it, I will compensate you as soon as possible." Back off!"
The young girl said angrily: "You are such a scoundrel. You stepped on my pasture first and you dare to be so rude. I really think I am afraid of you. Uncle Duolun, arrest them and wait until dad comes to punish them."
Next to the girl was a man about forty years old.
He is a standard Huns man, with a strong body, a high nose, and a heavy beard that covers half of his face. Looking at the Han people opposite, Toronto Tai frowned: "Miss Margaret, I think the people opposite are well-trained. They don't look like ordinary horse bandits, but more like officers and soldiers."
"Officers and soldiers?"
Margaret was surprised, "Why are the officers and soldiers here?"
Toronto too shook his head.
At this time, Zhang Xiujia immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists at the girl and Toronto Tai, and said: "Both of you, we wanted to enjoy the grassland and experience the exotic customs, but we accidentally stepped on your land by mistake. I offended you a lot. Please forgive me. My subordinates were rude just now, and I would like to apologize in advance!"
When Zhang Gan saw Zhang Xiu stepping forward, all his guards followed him around without saying a word, ready to respond to emergencies at any time. Needless to say, Zhang Xiu's bodyguards were selected from the Jingqian army. The formation was stretched out, murderous intent suddenly appeared, and the entire grassland was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Mrs. Toronto and Margaret were shocked.
Just from these personal guards, they could accurately determine that the identity of the man in the middle was absolutely extraordinary.
"do what?"
Zhang Xiulin looked at Zhang Qian and the others, "Why don't you get out of here!"
Zhang Gan and others hurriedly reined in their horses and retreated, but they only took two steps back and still stared at the opposite side warily.
Margaret saw that the identity of the person opposite her was unusual, but she didn't want to lose her momentum, so she said: "Since it was you who trampled on me unintentionally, I don't blame you, but you must compensate according to the price. Your horses galloped three miles just now. At the very least, you must be compensated." Thirty thousand taels of compensation are required.”
"Thirty thousand taels?"
Zhang Qian, who was behind him, became angry when he heard this, "If your pasture is made of gold, how can it be worth thirty thousand taels?"
Margaret raised her chin: "How come you don't recognize what you said just now?"
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, "Of course not, it's just that these thirty thousand taels are not a small amount. We don't carry so much money with us when we go out. I'm afraid we can't get it out now."
Margaret said: "Then you stay and send someone to get it."
"Miss!" Toronto next to him was too anxious and whispered in his ear, "These people look extraordinary, how dare they stay in the tribe?"
Margaret ignored Mrs. Toronto and just stared at Zhang Xiu with her smart blue eyes: "How is it?"
Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "In that case, we can only wait here." Then he turned to Zhang Qian and said, "Send someone to Shuofang to get 50,000 taels of silver."
Zhang Gan said: "Your Majesty, the following Jinggan army is ten miles away from here and can be killed with just a stick of incense."
Of course, when Zhang Xiu goes out, he cannot bring only a few dozen personal guards. Behind him are 5,000 Jingqian troops led by Hu Che'er, who are always ready.
Zhang Xiu said: "Let them follow and don't come over."
Zhang Qian took the order and sent someone to withdraw the money.
Zhang Xiujia immediately stepped forward, looked at Margaret with a smile and asked: "What an offense you just caused. Since you want compensation, I have already ordered people to go back to get the money. I can only stay here with you for now. Please ask this lady to take care of you." "
Margaret looked back at Zhang Xiu: "My name is Margaret, and this is my uncle Mrs. Toronto. This is the Mongoham tribe. Please come with me."
With that said, he took Zhang Xiu and the others there.
After walking for about four or five miles, I saw a very classic yurt in the distance. The Menggeham tribe is composed of these large and small yurts. Judging from the scale, it is a large tribe, and there are people coming and going outside. Huns in different clothes and many horses grazing freely outside.
Golmud, the leader of the Menggeham tribe, welcomed the arrival of Zhang Xiu and others.
The grassland is vast, and few foreign guests come here, because the Huns are very hospitable. Margaret explained their purpose of coming, and Golmud generously said that there was no need for compensation, and they only needed to stay here for a few more days.
Zhang Xiu and others were invited into the largest yurt, and a banquet was held in Golmud. Everyone drank milk wine and talked and laughed.
Not long after, Margaret took off her outer clothes, put on bright clothes, walked in, and sat opposite Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu couldn't help but stare.
A pair of big blue eyes are captivating. The two thick and curved eyelashes are slightly upward. The small nose is slender and straight. The skin is as tender as the velvet on a peach. The beauty of the Han nationality is even forgotten. He took a breath and looked steadily.
Golmud could tell his daughter's thoughts at a glance.
He glanced at Zhang Xiu again, knowing in his heart that this person must be an extraordinary person, so he made up his mind and prepared to toast with milk wine. At this time, someone hurried over and whispered into his ear: "Chief, the leader of our tribe The outer perimeter has been surrounded by Jingqian Army."
Golmud's heart skipped a beat.
Stunned with fear.
