Murong said boldly: "What the prince said is absolutely true. If you present this new Liangzhou specialty to the emperor, the emperor and his wife, Long Yan, will be delighted, and her condition will also get better. Then, the prince, you will have made a great contribution!" "
When mentioning the Queen's condition, Li Longji's face darkened and he sighed: "But I'm willing to do this. It doesn't matter whether I make a contribution or not. What's important is that the Queen's grandmother's illness should get better soon. Before leaving Chang'an, I I see that the people from the Wu family are already taking action, and the situation in the court is very unfavorable to my Li family!"
Murong Guogang was silent for a long time and mentioned the royal family affairs. As a foreign minister, it was difficult for him to interrupt. But seeing that Li Longji was in a low mood, he could only comfort him: "The people of the Wu family are taking action, and we are not idle either. . Your Majesty, when you come to Liangzhou this time, you will definitely be able to recruit good helpers. As the saying goes, Liangzhou¡¯s horses are the most powerful in the world, and the warriors of Liangzhou are the strongest. They will definitely help you, Your Majesty, achieve great things!"
When it came to warriors, Li Longji's interest became high. He smiled and said: "Yes, that's right. I love the warriors most in my life, the Liangzhou horse, which is rampant in the world! Come on, Brother Guogan, let's compete with each other. In terms of riding skills, the one who climbs the hill first is the winner!" After that, he suddenly clamped his horse's belly, dismounted the horse and galloped out towards the hill in front.
Murong Guo boldly shouted: "When it comes to horse racing, I have never been afraid of anyone. My lord, if you lose, if you want a treat, treat me to a chicken!" Although he said this, he did not run immediately, but waited for Li Longji ran a few feet away, then let go of the reins and chased after him, making it clear that he wanted Li Longji to win!
To the west of Liangzhou Pass, there is also a hill.
There are thousands of tents standing at the foot of the hill. Outside the tents, there are men and women, all busy lighting fires and barbecues. The aroma of roasted mutton wafts far away. There are several riders standing on the hill, all of them are sturdy men wearing leather clothes. The horses they ride on have long hairy legs. The big men are holding unsheathed thick-backed broadswords. The broadswords are placed on their shoulders, as if they are ready at any time. All ready to fight.
The big man at the head was wearing a large sheepskin robe. The robe was covered with oil stains and dried blood stains. It was very dirty. The front of the robe was open, revealing a chest covered with black hair. The big man looked ferocious. The hair on both sides of his head was shaved, leaving only a strip of hair in the middle, braided into small braids. The braids hung down on the back of his head, and a small copper bell was tied to the end of the braid. As his head moved, the bell Make a clanging sound. There is a long scar on his face, which cuts down from the right side of his forehead, cuts off the bridge of his nose, and reaches to the left side of his chin. His eyes are fierce and flashing with cruel light.
The big man at the head of this group is none other than the giant thief ringing the bell Wang Boerhu, who was feared by merchants and herdsmen on the grassland!
When Boerhu was young, he was the prince of a small tribe in the desert of the Western Regions. As the sole heir of King Khan, he did not obtain the throne after his father's death. Instead, he was usurped by his uncle, who usurped the power of the tribe. Shui's tendons were tied to the tree, saying that he would let God decide his fate. Boerhu was only thirteen years old that year.
Under the scorching sun, the water-soaked beef tendons slowly shrank, and when they were about to strangle Boerhu to death, a group of robbers passed by and rescued him.
Since then, there has been one less careless prince in the desert, but there has been one cruel robber!
Due to the painful experience in his youth, Boerhu was extremely violent. As an adult, he became the leader of the gang and led his men to attack his uncle's tribe. He tortured all his uncle's family to death using the most brutal methods, and tortured all those who had been there. All the tribesmen who abandoned him were also killed, and the entire tribe was destroyed.
Not only did he destroy the tribe that once belonged to his father Khan, but he also attacked other small tribes and made countless enemies. The tribes united to attack him. Although the bandit group in Bohu became larger and larger, it had formed a huge gang. , a small tribe that specializes in robbery, but he could not resist the joint attack of various tribes, so he had to come east and march all the way to the border of Liangzhou.
Although Liangzhou is considered a frontier in the Central Plains, compared to the bitter cold desert, it is simply a paradise. Countless caravans come and go, the grasslands are green, and there are many rivers. For Boerhu, it is the best place to set up his tent. He even imagined that he would become the king of a large tribe and dominate here.
So as soon as he arrived here, he first started to fight first and then pull out the gangsters in Liangzhou. He used various strategies to defeat them. He killed all the gangsters who refused to follow his banner, and only left the surrendered gangsters. Young and strong, used to expand his small tribe.
Boerhu is powerful in military force and cunning, but his outlook on the overall situation is not very good. If he were placed in the Three Kingdoms era, he would definitely be a fierce military commander, but he could only be a military commander. His brutal style prevented him from getting anything. Support from too many people. But in the desert and grassland, as long as the horse is sharp and the sword is sharp, even if you don't have a big picture, you can still dominate!
Looking at the endless grassland under the hillock, Boerhu said: "Tomorrow we will pull up the tent and go east, bypassing the Liangzhou Pass and heading towards Lingzhou, waiting to defeat the enemies in the east."We are the only ones who have the final say over this grassland with a radius of thousands of miles." "
One of his men said: "Great Khan, Liangzhou is already rich enough. We can get everything here, so we don't have to go to Lingzhou, right?"
Bo Erhu shook his head and said: "If we drink horses here for a long time, the Central Plains people in Liangzhou will definitely come out to attack us. The reason why they have not come now is because we have not threatened their city gates, but if we want to develop here , as time goes by, they will definitely send troops to attack us, and we will need another rich pasture."
He turned his head and smiled at his men: "Sheep on a piece of grassland can't feed too many green wolves. Only by having more grasslands and raising more fat sheep can the green wolf never be hungry!"
The men laughed and said: "The green wolf will be stronger if the fat sheep on each grassland are eaten in turn!"
Just as they were talking, a horse ran up the hill, and the bandit on the horse shouted: "Great Khan, we just caught a monk. This monk is a stupid donkey. When he saw us, he didn't hide. Instead, he came forward and held a big bowl." He wanted to eat, so we knocked him over easily!"
Bo Erhu smiled and said: "A monk? There is no monastery here. How can there be a monk? He is an ascetic, right? This kind of person has little property and is so poor that he can only beg for food. Ask him if he wants to join us and drink wine and eat meat every day. If If you want to, just keep them, if you don't want to chop them into pieces, don't let them go alive, so as not to expose our whereabouts."
The robber smiled and said: "Khan, this monk is not poor. He has a lot of money on him, all from the Central Plains, including golden copper coins. He also rides a good horse and brings many scrolls. He is definitely not an ascetic. We also found this on him!¡±
He took out a small bottle from his arms and gave it to Boerhu.
Bo Erhu looked at the small bottle. It was very delicate. There was a small blue-purple flower painted on it, which was a kind of wild flower. Although the small bottle was delicate, it was not a precious thing.
The robber smiled and said: "Khan, open the bottle and smell it, this is good stuff!"
Bo suddenly opened the bottle and smelled it, his face showed joy, and he said: "This is the best flower essence, the same price as gold! Ask the monk where he got it from!"
