The Yuan Empire had an extremely vast territory, and Mobei was controlled by it.
The cold land of Mobei that Ye Xing went to was not the northernmost part of Mobei. Relatively speaking, it was in the south of Mobei.
In fact, the northern part of Mobei is not that extremely cold. It is an ice sheet area of half grass and half ice. The eastern prairie of Mobei is also controlled by the Yuan Empire and is a prairie with a radius of thousands of miles.
It's just that this prairie is far away from the Great Yuan Emperor, almost fifty thousand miles away, and separated by the uninhabited Mobei Icefield, so it is actually just a grazing land for hundreds of tribes of all sizes in the Great Yuan Dynasty.
The Yuan Empire had a powerful force, but it was composed of tribes. Each tribe was actually semi-independent. The interests of the tribes were not consistent, but they all coveted the wealthy Song Dynasty in the south. Constantly harassing the northeastern border of Song Dynasty.
The nomadic tribes make a living by raising animals, and their trade with the Song Dynasty involves exchanging livestock for agricultural products and various resources. The market is very close to Ningyuan County in the northeast of the Song Dynasty.
In fact, Qingyun County, where the Qingyun Sect is located, is only separated by Ningyuan County. It is actually quite close.
Because Ningyuan County has been harassed by the Yuan barbarians for a long time, a large number of Song troops are stationed here, and the Qingyun Sect has a close relationship with the Song family, this place is actually under the jurisdiction of Qingyun County. It is a real frontier area, but it also has a hold on the Qingyun Sect. development of power.
In order to repay the Qingyun Sect for their service to the dragon, the Song family assigned Donghai County in the south to the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect. However, 95% of the Qingyun Sect's sect power did not dare to stay away from Qingyun County.
The Yuan Empire's terrifying combat power and impermanent harassment greatly hindered the Qingyun Sect.
Compared with the weak people of the Song Dynasty, the people of the Yuan Dynasty were unusually tall, powerful, and extremely fierce with tattoos on their heads.
Generally speaking, people from the Song Dynasty are a head shorter than people from the Yuan Dynasty. Even those who practice martial arts, masters at the same level will most likely be at a disadvantage in a fight due to their different physiques.
In the grassland market, business is called a transaction, but it is never fair, because people from Dayuan will not bargain with you at all, and it will be whatever they say.
There was not much commercial culture in Dayuan, and it was still based on a semi-primitive state of barter.
The Great Yuan Dynasty had a large number of resources that the Song Kingdom lacked, especially various grassland-specific materials. Although Monan of the Spirit Beast Sect also produced them, they were still far from enough.
The people of the Yuan Dynasty were in great need of fabrics, daily necessities, food, etc. produced in the Song Kingdom. Ye Xing was also delighted to see the items produced in Donghai County, because the products produced in Donghai Xijiang City had exclusive logos on them.
In the small market, although it is the boundary of the Yuan Dynasty, it is far away from the center of the Yuan Dynasty but close to the northeastern border of the Song Dynasty. Song language is the main communication language.
After finding a good inn to stay, the four of them went directly to Ye Xing's big room, ordered the best food and spirits, and followed the herdsman's way, drinking heavily and eating meat, while the two eagles stood still. At the table, enjoy a meal together.
The waiter who delivered the food was clearly from the Song Dynasty. Qi Ming asked in Song dialect, "Man, I wonder what year in the Yuan Dynasty it is now?"
The clerk replied, "Now is the year 3452 of the Song Dynasty, which should correspond to the year 15687 of the Yuan Dynasty. Well... that should be it."
Qi Ming asked strangely, "Oh, the history of Dayuan is so long, do you really not understand it?"
The man said, "Yes, the Song Dynasty was only founded for more than 3,000 years, but the Yuan Dynasty is different. It has been more than 15,000 years ago. It's just that they are nomadic people and have not made much progress. They have always been herding, and then they go south to rob in the years of disaster. , I was kidnapped when I was more than ten years old!" He said with red eyes.
Qi Ming said, "All the owners of this inn are from Dayuan?"
The waiter said, "Yes, the boss is from Dayuan, but the shopkeeper and the waiters are basically from Song Dynasty."
The four of them were stunned. Qin Xinyue asked, "Why?"
The waiter said, "The people of Dayuan don't know how to run an inn or restaurant. They invited or plundered the shopkeepers and waiters from the Song Dynasty. If they hadn't started it, it would have been impossible to run it here." "
Qi Ming said, "Why don't you go back to Song Dynasty? This place is also very close to Ningyuan County."
The waiter smiled bitterly and said, "I have no relatives in the Song Dynasty. I have lived here for twenty years and I don't want to go back."
Ye Xing asked, "I heard that the Great Yuan took all the Song people they captured as slaves. Why aren't you a slave?"
The waiter took off his hat, pointed to the puppy tattoo on his forehead, looked sad, and said, "I am still a slave, but I was assigned to be a waiter here. There is no salary, and I can't go back to the Song Dynasty. If I steal it back, I will be stolen." Ridiculous."
In the grassland, the wolf totem is a symbol of nobility, but it is tattooed on the back. If a puppy is tattooed on the face, it is a slave.
The four of them stared at the small dog tattoo that was not very big but deep into the texture. They felt uncomfortable. It turned out that the treatment of the Song people after they were kidnapped was really abominable.
Qin Xinyue felt sad and asked softly, "Are you willing for us to redeem you from the Song Kingdom?"
The waiter's eyes lit up at first, then he shook his head and said, "Thank you four distinguished guests. I won't go back. If I go back, the people of Song Dynasty will treat me as a traitor and I will be ostracized and discriminated against. I won't be able to survive. Here, although He is a slave, but he does not lack food and clothing, at least he still looks like a human being."
Qi Ming took out ten taels of silver, handed it to the waiter, and said, "You can keep it for use."
The guy nodded, said, "Thank you!", turned around and went out, closing the door.
Hearing that the man was walking away, Ye Xing said, "The four of us have only stayed in the small space for more than five years. It seems like a long time."
Qin Jingxuan said, "The timer recorded roughly, but we were in retreat many times. If there is no record, it is just inaccurate. I originally estimated it to be seven or eight years ago."
In that dedicated, resourceful and quiet small space, the four people's cultivation grew rapidly. It turned out that it had only been five years, and it turned out to be an excellent place for cultivation. It was a blessing.
Ye Xing spent a lot of time studying various skills and knowledge, and his cultivation reached the first level of foundation building. The three of them practiced harder and devoted themselves more, but they only advanced to the second level.
It can be seen that cultivation is not all about hard work. In fact, talent and luck are the most important. Ye Xing's super spiritual consciousness and extraordinary thinking ability are precisely the reasons for his excellent immortal roots.
The next day, while the four of them were still resting in the inn, they heard a major news. The southern part of the Song Dynasty had already been in chaos. The reason was not very clear, but the Song Dynasty was really turbulent.
After inquiring, many details were known. The matter started three years ago. The Holy Spirit Sect, also known as the Demon Sect, started a quarrel with the Song family for unknown reasons. The ten counties under the jurisdiction of the Demon Sect declared complete independence. Lingbao County and the nine northwest counties no longer recognized the Song family as the master, and expelled all the personnel sent by the imperial court, and some were even killed.
The Demon Sect sent troops to Ziyue County and Yunchuan County in order to connect with Shengbao County in the south. This led to the outbreak of the Ziyue Sect, the Spiritual Medicine Sect and the Song family who joined forces to stop the Demon Sect. This fight lasted for three years.
The Mo Sect branch of Lingbao County in the south also brazenly sent troops to occupy Mangyun County and Guishan County, with the intention of capturing the entire southern region.
A new force in Donghai County, the Tianxing Army suddenly sent troops to assist the Song family in guarding Mangyun County. Its combat power was extremely powerful, and it immediately controlled Mangyun County and Guishan County, and then all the Qingyun Sect forces in Donghai County. He drove away and firmly controlled Donghai County.
When they heard about the Tianxing Army, the four of them became excited, thinking that the brothers had really started an uprising and occupied three counties, as if they were looking at the world.
The four of them thought that the army equipped with their new technology was truly invincible, but it hadn't been deployed again for three years. Of course, they were operating the rear and waiting for opportunities.
It is said that, just looking at the chaos in the northwest and southeast of the Song Dynasty, the tribes in the northeastern prairie of the Yuan Dynasty were gathering large armies and heading south at any time. The direction of Xiaoji was the best place for the Yuan Empire to send troops, with the intention of capturing Ningyuan and Ningyuan from this direction. Qingyun two counties.
The Spiritual Beast Sect has always been close to the Yuan Empire. It is also intensifying its troops in Monan and Yunhu counties, and it has long been clear that it will not listen to the orders of the Song Lord.
Ye Xing said, "The Song Kingdom is already in chaos. Let's go back to the East China Sea quickly. We should find ways to help them."
Qi Ming smiled and said, "Master, you have already laid out the plan many years ago. There should be a countermeasure for Li Yishan. With their talents, there will be no problem."
Qin Xinyue said loudly, "Let's go south tomorrow. It should be fun to fight side by side with them."
The three of them looked at her and were speechless. It was a war, not a game, and many lives would be lost!
The four of them rested for a night, bought four good horses the next day, and headed south with all their strength.
