Chapter 657

The two chicken wings had little meat and were not well grilled.But for Lu Wusi, in the process of enjoying it, he also got envious eyes from many people.Putting it on the grassland, this kind of vision will lead to robbery or beating in the future, but there are rules in Dinghailing, so no one can rob.

So the chicken wings fell into Lu Wusi's mouth, and it became a rare delicacy.

He ate the two chicken wings and the two rice balls without hesitation, and drank a stomach full of water.Just as he was about to hide in the hut to rest for a while, Shi Mo came over quickly and pointed at him: "Boy, come with me!"

He hastened to keep up.

This morning Lu Wusi was hunting with the hunter in the valley of the upper reaches of the Baihe River, and was served by an officer named Dong Jin, who was said to be one of the leaders of Marshal Guo's guards.The one who accompanied Dong Jin with Lu Wusi was Shi Moyexian.

Lu Wusi originally thought that this Shi Mo could command the Mongols like lackeys first, and he didn't know what kind of viciousness he looked like in private, but he never thought that when he was with Dong Jin, his mouth was like honey, and he was no different from ordinary people. what a difference.

So now he followed Shi Mo, and he was not too scared. After walking a few steps, he asked, "Master Shi Mo, where are we going?"

"The Tartar Khan is sure to lead his troops to the west, and the few Mongolian households who have taken refuge in us can rest assured that they don't have to worry about being retaliated. Commander Zhao will send someone to Banshan to appease him. Those Mongols, distribute some supplies and make them happy."

Shi Mo also said casually first, and took Lu Wusi to the direction of the barracks.

"But...but what does this have to do with me?"

"General Ge Du wanted to take this opportunity to meet a few Mongolian tribes, so he accepted this mission. He asked me to follow along. However, I am a Khitan, not a Mongolian. The only Mongolian tribe that I have dealt with before is that of Dading Mansion." So I think that those who are really familiar with the situation there still have to be selected from the slaves of Han'er."

Shi Mo also slowed down a little, and asked sideways: "You can read and count, and you don't look like you have done manual labor. You should have some status among the Mongols, right? You should be familiar with them. ?”

Lu Wusi's footsteps paused slightly, and he followed quickly. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "I'm not familiar with it. I only worked with Lakshin Qianhu for two years..."

Shi Mo also clapped his hands first, and said with a smile: "The ones stationed in Banshan are Lakshin's tribe. Very good, I knew I was right to choose you!"

The two walked one hundred steps forward, one behind the other, and when they approached the gate of the barracks, they saw Ge Qingshu come out excitedly.

"How is it?" Shi Mo also asked first.

"It's all arranged, let's go now!"

Ge Qingshu responded casually, and then noticed Lu Wusi again: "So the candidate proposed by Shi Mo is you?"

Lu Wusi bowed and saluted: "It's the villain."

Ge Qingshu turned to Shi Moye first: "This is a smart man, and he can use it. But the clothes are too shabby, and we will lose the prestige of our navy. Aren't we going to distribute clothes for changing seasons tomorrow? You go and bring one out to him. !"

Shi Mo also agreed first, and not long after, one of his subordinates carried a heavy felt coat and stuffed it into Lu Wusi's hand: "Put it on!"

Holding the felt clothes in his hands, Lu Wusi suddenly felt familiar.

This is a thick short robe, with soft soft fur on the surface, which warms people when touched, and long, hard coarse hair, which is a little bit prickly.

Lu Wusi knew that the soft one was the special sheep wool from Yan'an Prefecture, and the hard one was the yak wool.The two kinds of wool are woven together by double-twisting. The characteristic of this weaving method is that the weft density of the wool is extraordinarily large. The whole material is thicker than the general weaving method, so it is not so easy to breathe. It is especially suitable for It is windproof, and the yak hair is very strong, so the clothes are not easy to be damaged.

"So, is this robe good?" Ge Qingshu asked.

It was only then that Lu Wusi realized that he was touching the felt robe, and he couldn't help saying a lot.He was a little surprised and felt that he shouldn't talk so much, but after hearing Ge Qingshu's question, he subconsciously said: "No. If you want to keep warm, it's better to weave it with a twist or a diagonal twist. This kind of twisted twist , causing the felt material to be too tight and not fluffy enough, so it is a little bit poor in terms of warmth. However, in the area of ​​Monan, it is enough."

Ge Qingshu and Shi Mo also looked at each other first.

Lu Wusi touched the felt robe carefully and asked, "Master Jun, is this for me?"

"Of course it's for you, put it on quickly!"

Lu Wusi hesitated and said: "The clothes are very expensive! Back then in Dongsheng Prefecture, there were very few such felt materials produced by ourselves; the large quantities were either from Jingzhou or from Xiaguo. A piece of felt It is expected to be worth twenty guan!"

Ge Qingshu laughed and said: "Don't worry, put it on! Didn't I tell you just now that we will send out seasonal robes tomorrow. All the soldiers in the army have them, and so do you! However, each of you only has one set of felt robes. There's nowhere to mend!"

Lu Wusi held up the felt robe in front of his eyes, his hands trembling.

Shi Mo also smiled first and said: "This is the supplies that Commander Zhao brought from Zhongdu. All of them are taken from the Central Capital's treasury. Everyone in the frontier and the people in the village have them. The Marshal's Mansion has prepared a total of [-] items, and they will be delivered one after another. Bring it! You can put it on without worry!"

Only then did Lu Wusi wrap the felt robe around his body.

In fact, it's just autumn and the weather is still hot, so it's time to wear felt robes. Ge Qingshu really finds Lu Wusi's tattered body unpleasing to the eye, and can't think of any decent robes to replace. Just hit the idea of ​​changing clothes for the season.

Fortunately, Lu Wusi's body was so skinny that he was like an empty bone frame. The felt robe was loosely wrapped around his body, and the air leaked everywhere, so he was not afraid of dying of heat, and was quite comfortable.He clasped his hands together, feeling the unique softness and hardness of the felt robe all over his body, and suddenly started crying again.

Ge Qingshu and Shi Mo couldn't care less about this soft-tempered guy, they ignored Lu Wusi, picked up their cronies and subordinates, took a few carts to load supplies, and set off from the city.Lu Wusi was sobbing, and followed the team for several miles. Seeing that the knights in the team were very kind, he caught others off guard, climbed onto the sideboard of a large cart, and sat down.

It takes more than 30 miles to walk from Jinshan City to Banshan in the west.The reason why this thousand households were allowed to stop so far away was to show their reassurance towards these Mongols so that they would not be unnecessarily vigilant, and secondly to ensure the safety of Jinshan City so that no Mongols would really make trouble. There was a violent attack against Jinshan City, and the city was caught off guard.

However, when the group arrived at the Mongolian resident, Qianhu Lakshin went out to greet them from a distance, treated each other politely, and even respected Ge Qingshu and Shi Mo first.That night, Lakshin called a banquet, and all the hundreds of households under his command showed up, and everyone exchanged cups with Ge Qingshu.The Mongolians mashed it with fermented sour kumiss, and then filtered it to remove the turbidity, and it became the famous kumiss.The taste of this wine is very soft, but if you drink a lot, it will have a lot of stamina.

Lakshin personally served Ge Qingshu and Shi Mo with boiled mutton, pierced the eyeballs and tail of the sheep with a knife, and brought them in front of them to persuade them to eat and drink.Although this kind of banquet cannot be said to be exquisite, it also has a grassland flavor.

Because of the harmonious atmosphere between the host and the guest, there was no chance of needing Lu Wusi's help until the third round of drinking and the dead of night.Ge Qingshu also specially gave Lakshin Qianhu a gift at the banquet, which is said to be celadon produced in Korea, which is very expensive.

After eating and drinking, the sky was already as dark as ink.Ge Qingshu said that his family had to go back to Jinshan City to return to his command, but Lakshin kept dissuading him, saying that he might as well leave tomorrow, and he had prepared some gifts for Commander Zhao Xuan, and he just asked Ge Qingshu to take them with him.

Ge Qingshu refused at first, but later many hundreds of households came up and hugged and persuaded him in turn, as if they had been friends with each other for many years.Ge Qingshu is a native of Shandong. In his eyes, the Mongols have always looked like the kind of murderous monsters who slaughtered Jinan back then.

The next group of people slept in the huge yurt arranged by Lakshin.

In the middle of the night, Lu Wusi got up in a daze, muttered something urgent about urination, and walked out from the edge of the yurt.

As soon as his figure left, Ge Qingshu and Shi Mo opened their eyes at the same time, and their eyes were frighteningly bright.

"The black tartar is too enthusiastic, there must be a ghost." Ge Qingshu said coldly.

He looks like a hearty young man, but he has always been extremely wary of the Mongols.When he first joined the army, he was a sentry in Haicang Town. Because of his negligence, the Mongolian cavalry hid nearby.

Although no one of the officers of the Ding Navy attributed the responsibility to Ge Qingshu, a small soldier, Ge Qingshu himself did not let himself go.

And Shi Mo also asked first: "Lu Wusi is going out now, is there any problem?"
