Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 433 Qingyang Tribe
These employees or employees of caravans originally born in the grasslands grew up in the grasslands, so they often have a wealth of knowledge of grassland survival, knowing how to identify directions, how to judge the weather, how to find water sources, and how to sleep in the open In the wild, to prevent the attacks of wild animals, it is even more rare to make a variety of grassland food.

It is a must to bring a lot of heat while maintaining deliciousness, especially in terms of barbecue, which is much higher than that of Beiyan people.

Because there is a lack of utensils that can be used for cooking on the grassland, if there is no caravan from the Central Plains, a herdsman family may not be able to do it.

Traditional prairie food is more roasted, and the processed animal meat or plant tubers are sprinkled with salt and roasted directly.

Although it is simple and crude, the requirements for heat are not low, so the cooking method of the grassland is not so gorgeous, but more about familiarity.

Along the way, Chen Zheng can say that he had a good taste of the delicious grassland that he hadn’t tasted before. The barbecue meat was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, extremely crispy, fat and thin but not greasy. The grilling techniques are inferior.

Compared to Chen Zheng's astonishment, the reactions of Tian Buqi and the others were much more flat. This is not to say that their tastes are tricky, but that they have eaten the same delicacy more times, and they get used to it. Delicious is delicious. , but the taste is taken for granted, although it is delicious, it is no longer amazing.

It was quite peaceful along the way. They didn't even encounter any herds of strange beasts, let alone any robbers without eyes, so Tian Buqi and the others arrived directly at the territory of the Qingyang Tribe.

At this time, the Qingyang Tribe has already released the news about the activity of this martial arts transaction. In order to welcome the guests here, they have sent people to patrol and greet them early, in case some caravans are on their own territory. conflict.

Before Tian Buqi and others approached, the cavalry of the Qingyang tribe noticed them and began to approach.

From afar, the slightly unfamiliar Mandarin of Beiyan came, "My dear friend Tian Buqi, you are finally here. I have come specially to wait for you." There is a more prominent person among these Qingyang tribe cavalry. The clothes are also relatively gorgeous, and there is a layer of brocade robes on the outside of the iron armor used to protect the body, which looks a bit nondescript.

This person is Wu Teng, the young patriarch of the Qingyang Tribe.Son of Usu, eldest son of Una.

Don't look fierce in appearance, but he is a relatively honest and honest person. He also likes the Central Plains culture. He specially invited people from the Central Plains to be his teachers to read and read. Also very good.

Hearing the voice of his old friend, Tian Buqi immediately drove forward a few steps, "Haha, Wu Teng, you seem to be strong again recently, this brocade robe is not bad, it must be Su brocade, this is a good thing from Nanyue Ah, it is very valuable, this time I brought you something good, it is the Shu Brocade and Shu Embroidery from Xiliang, which is very valuable and even more gorgeous than Su Brocade."

Hearing this, Wu Teng's eyes became brighter, "Oh? That's great, you really are my good friend, come and sit in the big tent, I've already prepared the food and drink, and I'm waiting for your arrival , everyone, please."

Wu Teng warmly greeted Tian Buqi and his group to enter the tribe.

Under his order, more than 200 Qingyang tribe cavalry guarded the caravan on both sides of the caravan, and began to slowly move towards the Qingyang tribe's tent at the same speed.

Chen Zheng and Hu Chun didn't open their mouths to speak, they just pretended to be little transparent and followed in the team silently.

While walking, Chen Zheng was observing the cavalry of the Qingyang tribe, which seemed to be different from the traditional grassland cavalry.

The traditional prairie cavalry is basically one man and three horses, with light clothes and light machetes and spears as the main weapons.This is what Chen Zheng discovered when he came to the grassland before.But now these Qingyang tribe fighters have replaced them with heavy weapons, such as blunt weapons such as maces and hammers.

Many of the grassland people's horses that Chen Zheng had seen before were light war horses of moderate build and relatively fast running.

However, the two hundred people in the Qingyang tribe seemed to be different.The war horses under their crotches are unusually tall and muscular. They are obviously a new breed of horses. Not only that, Chen Zheng also discovered that the warriors of the Qingyang Tribe were not wearing leather armor or cloth armor, but chain armor and iron armor. , although the style is a bit old and not very new, and there are even some damages, but the defensive performance has been greatly enhanced.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like heavy cavalry, not the traditional light cavalry of the prairie people.

Such a change may not seem like much in the eyes of others, but it is a problem in the eyes of Chen Zheng. In the battle of the grassland tribes, is it necessary to train heavy cavalry?It's not necessary at all.

Although heavy cavalry is a bulldozer on the plains, it depends on the situation, if it is facing infantry in a square formation.

The heavy cavalry rushing in is the gods blocking and killing the gods and Buddhas blocking and killing the Buddhas, and the enemy can be wiped out in minutes.

With powerful defense and terrible impact, it can be called a battlefield tank in the era of cold weapons.

But now this is in the environment of the grassland. There are more light cavalry in the grassland. Through the means of horse speed and long-range attack, they slowly consume the energy of the enemy, and return to attack when they are exhausted.

When the heavy cavalry faced the tribal cavalry on the grassland, they must have been slipped into fools directly. Because of the equipment of the heavy cavalry, their horse speed was not enough, and they could only be killed by the kite.

So Chen Zheng can be sure that the heavy cavalry-like troops of the Qingyang tribe were definitely not prepared to compete with other tribes, but it seemed that they were prepared to deal with Beiyan's army formation.

This signal can be large or small.

To put it mildly, the Qingyang tribe is actively learning the technology and achievements of the Central Plains.

But on a bigger scale, it is very likely that the people of the Qingyang tribe are not as friendly to Beiyan as they appear on the outside, and have already developed other thoughts.

It's hard to say how to siege the city, but the meaning of preparing for battle is obvious, which means that some doves on the grassland have been slowly affected and began to change their minds.

I just don’t know if their transformation is due to their own desires, or is it because of the influence of the big tribe?This Chen Zheng is unknown, and we still need to investigate before talking about it.

In this way, the caravan arrived at the big tent of the Qingyang tribe under the mutual delivery of the cavalry of the Qingyang tribe.

Looking at the grasslands one by one, there are many herdsmen coming and going.

Among them are some shabby clothes, slaves controlled by the Qingyang tribe.

There are grassland people, people from the Western Regions, and of course many people from the Central Plains.

Even the Qingyang tribe that has business with the Central Plains countries will not have slaves from the Central Plains people, unless they are wiped out, or this phenomenon will not stop.

Tian Buqi and the others had no choice, even if they wanted to liberate them, there was no need to liberate them. If one group is liberated, the next group will follow, and not everyone who becomes a slave needs to be rescued.

At the beginning, when Tian Buqi first came to the Qingyang tribe, he did save two or three batches. The idea in his mind was that he could not help every Central Plains person, but he would help as much as possible when he met one.

But a large part of the people in these two or three batches have been cultivated into slavishness after a long period of slave life.They speak in a low voice, bow their knees, and don't use their brains at all when doing things. They only do what the master orders.

It can be said that the living zombies.

Only a small group of people still maintained their sanity and were unwilling to be slaves. With the help of Tian Buqi, they finally got rid of the sea of ​​suffering and completed it.

At the same time, Chen Zheng and the others also saw other mule and horse convoys with flags of other chambers of commerce on them, obviously people from other chambers of commerce had arrived.

Through the dense crowd, there is a huge tent in the middle.

This is the patriarch's tent of the Qingyang Tribe, where guests from other places often meet.

At this time, you can see many warriors from the Qingyang tribe guarding the surrounding area.

Gorgeously dressed women brought all kinds of prairie food and wine to the big tent one after another.

A grand banquet was evidently being prepared inside.

The arrival of Tian Buqi and others was just right.

It's just that they can't get in this big tent, after all, the patriarch Wusu of the Qingyang Tribe is entertaining people from other chambers of commerce.

But don't forget that Wu Teng still exists here. As the young patriarch of the Qingyang tribe and the successor of the next generation, can he still neglect Tian Buqi and the others with him here?

Wu Teng led them to another ornately decorated tent around the big tent in the center. Up, eat inside the tent.

As for other people, under Wu Teng's arrangement, they will also be responsible for taking care of them. Even if Wu Teng pays for this meal out of his own pocket, Tian Buqi's Chamber of Commerce can't be stingy about the expenses that should be spent later. The rules of the Qingyang Tribe.

Then there was another grand banquet. While Chen Zheng was eating wine, he was also watching the exotic dance of the prairie girl to add to the fun. That figure, that makeup, and that water snake waist were simply amazing.

But this also made Chen Zheng even more curious. He had handled important information many times and knew the severity of the horse plague in northern Xinjiang this time, but the influence of the Qingyang tribe didn't seem to be that great.

You can see that they are still in the mood to eat, drink and have fun, and they are still in the mood to train some heavy cavalry. It doesn't look like they are comforting themselves because of the horse plague.

If he had known that the horse plague incident this time was very serious and many horses were affected, Chen Zheng would not believe it at all if the Qingyang tribe had no influence at all.

The Qingyang tribe is well-dressed, well-equipped, and has a large number of soldiers. It doesn't look like it has been affected by the horse plague.

Chen Zheng was very curious whether the Qingyang Tribe had any trump card that allowed them to avoid the impact of the horse plague, or was the Qingyang Tribe's strength far greater than what Tian Buqi had introduced to them?
Just as the group of people were eating and drinking, a figure suddenly rushed in, furious, and rushed towards Tian Buqi as soon as he came in.

It is Wuna, the pearl of the Qingyang tribe.

Then there was a large-scale dog abuse scene. As a girl in the grassland, Wu Na was so enthusiastic that Chen Zheng couldn't bear to look directly at it, so he had to bow his head to destroy the food.

After the banquet, this group of people from the Lian Chamber of Commerce was divided into an area to live. Because Chen Zheng and others did not understand the language and had little interest in communicating with the grassland people, they simply stayed in the tent and did not come out.

That afternoon, Wusu, the patriarch of the Qingyang Tribe, handed Tian Buqi over to find him, as if he had something to discuss with him.

It wasn't until the evening that Chen Zheng and the others saw Tian Buqi return, and at the same time learned more details about this martial arts meeting.

It's as simple as a martial arts competition.

Draw a number from the incoming chamber of commerce to organize a fair duel between a caravan and a caravan.

The form is also one-on-one, with five matches, and the side with the most victories can advance to the next round. The cultivation level of Heaven Realm can be played from the early stage of Zhou Tian Realm to the peak.

In the same way, if Fan Ying comes on stage.Then his opponents can only be martial artists from the early stage to the peak of Tongmai Realm.

Apart from the limitations on cultivation, there are no other problems. No matter what treasures, weapons, elixirs, etc. you have, you can use them on the field.

But there is only one requirement, you can't exceed the realm you should have, even a breakthrough is not allowed.

There is also a group battle. Fifty people need to be selected for a team battle. The side that can stand at the end of the field wins. There are not many requirements for this. .

After all, it would be too rascal to let people from the Tongmai Realm participate. One martial artist from the Tongmai Realm can directly defeat fifty martial artists from the Luck Realm. It would not be so fair for some people from small chambers of commerce. Must be limited.

In the end, the number of victories won in the two competitions will be used for ranking, and the top three can trade with the Qingyang tribe and several of his younger brothers as agreed at the beginning.

There are still seven days left before the martial arts competition is held, so Tian Buqi and Chen Zheng are discussing the candidates for the competition.

First of all, Fan Ying must go. As the number one combat force around Tian Buqi (not counting those who are secretly protected by Company Changsheng), he will soon break through to the Xiantian realm. Coupled with the sword in his hand, he will be in the Tongmai realm. The strength of the warriors is one of the best, there is no doubt about it.

As for the second candidate, it was quite unexpected, it was Chen Zheng.

This is Chen Zheng's initiative to ask to participate. There is no way, the system just gave Chen Zheng another task, and he can't do it if he doesn't go.
