Bright Spring

Suddenly, Huang Yan saw two teams of horsemen in the distance, outflanking them here!

"What do they want to do?!" Huang Yan asked hurriedly.

The Wuliangha people made movements with their palms down: "Don't worry, Eunuch Huang, all the leaders in Hulunhe have accepted my favors; Tuotuo also knows some people. When they know that Tuotuo is the accountant of Alu Those who are below will not dare to do anything!"

Huang Yan nervously watched the original troops on the pasture, seeing that they were all carrying bows and arrows, his face could not hide the panic that turned pale.

The Wuliangha people said again: "Eunuch Huang, don't run around, don't run, leave it to us! On the pasture east of Yuerhai, Alutai has great prestige, and it makes people sweat more than Ben Yali. convince."

After talking for a while, a team of horses approached.Those were people wearing fur robes. They saw Huang Yan's people standing there without taking out their weapons.

Tuotuo and the Wuliangha people came forward to talk, and what they babbled should be Mongolian; Huang Yan couldn't understand a word, so he could only observe their expressions and movements.The Wuliangha people gave each other something again.

After they finished talking, they didn't fight.The Wuliangha people turned their heads to greet Huang Yan, and continued to walk towards the river in the distance.

Huang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Wuliangha people pointed to the river in front of them and said: "This river is the Hulun River. Huang Gonggong can also call it 'Anju River' in Chinese. Arutai is not here. We have to continue going northeast to Haila River. You can find the big tent of Arutai only when you have to go to the Erhe River. The Hailaer River can also be called the 'Snow River'."

Huang Yan nodded.

When he was in Peiping, he had heard of Alutai.But Arutai is not a name, but a title, which probably means "a minister with power"; Mongolians call it Arutai, and the Ming government also wrote it that way.

Arutai is very powerful, equivalent to the former "General Sima" of the Han people; now the Ming Dynasty can't find such a person, and it is impossible to have a certain powerful minister who can have such great power.It is said that Benjali lost his sweat and had no strength to be the leader of the various tribes of the Tatars, all thanks to the support of Arutai.

The group stayed in tents by the Hulun River for a while, and received hospitality from the locals.However, because of the language barrier, Huang Yan had to rely on the translator from Wuliangha, so it was very difficult to communicate.

People exude a very strong and complex smoky smell.Obviously there is a river next to it, and there is plenty of water, but the Tatars don't seem to like to take a bath.The Uliangha said with a smile that many Tatars bathe twice in their lives, when they are born and when they get married... Of course, he himself is not much better.

The next day Huang Yan and others continued their journey to the northeast, seeing more and more pasture tribes along the way.A few days later, they finally arrived at Alutai's big tent.

However, Alutai is no longer here.Tuotuo told Huang Yan and the others that Arutai had taken his troops west ten days ago to go to the king's tent where Ben Yali was sweating, and to have an audience.

Huang Yan increased the promised money from five times to ten times, and told several Mongolians that they could cash it in the bank in Beiping City.Tuotuo found some people he knew and escorted Huang Yan to continue westward.According to the agreement, Tuotuo first introduced Huang Yan to Alutai, and then met with Ben Yali for sweating.

A group of people almost walked around Yuyuerhai, and detoured from the north to the northwest direction of Yuyuerhai.They finally found the residence of the leader of the Tatars, the Great Khan of Mongolia, Ben Yali Khan.

The Tatars did not seem to be as hospitable as they had been rumored to be. Just as Huang Yan and the others walked into a camp, suddenly an angry big man with a fur hat rushed out.The big man murmured a few words, then suddenly swung his whip, and "cracked" the Wuliangha man's face, then glared at Huang Yan, and spat out "Bah".

Huang Yan stood there in a daze, as if the Wuzhang monk couldn't figure it out.Tuotuo waited for the big Mongolian man to leave, and then said in very difficult Chinese: "Some Wuliangha people, traitors... look down on them."

"Oh! Our family understands." Huang Yan nodded hurriedly.

The Wuliangha man who was knocked to the ground covered his face with his hands and got up from the ground.Tuotuo ignored him, and led the two of them to a tent with flags.Tutuo's Chinese language is not very clear, so the Wuliangha people told Huang Yan: "Arutai has gone to the camp of the Great Khan. The person we are going to meet now is a general under Arutai's subordinates."

The three of them went outside the tent and spoke a few words with the Mongolian at the door.They opened the felt curtain and walked in.

Huang Yan was taken aback as soon as he entered. He didn't notice General Tatar at first, but was attracted by a woman.

I saw that woman was very beautiful, holding a wooden plate, she was naked, not even a piece of cloth on her body!Fortunately, there is a fire in the tent, otherwise how can we stand without clothes?

Tuotuo and Wuliangha didn't look around, only Huang Yan looked at the woman blankly.Looking at her face and hair, she seems to be a Han Chinese, and there are bloody scars on her body!

The Wuliangha man whispered: "I will tell the general that Eunuch Huang is a eunuch."

Huang Yan came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Our family is the eunuch of Zhao Wang's Mansion in the Ming Dynasty. We pay our respects to the wise and powerful general. A little gift is not a respect, so please accept it with a smile."

The Wuliangha people immediately began to translate.

The naked woman stepped forward and put the plate in front of Huang Yan.Huang Yan hurriedly took out a small gold wine glass and put it on the plate.

"Hahaha..." The general above laughed out loud.

Huang Yan suddenly found that this woman was staring at him resentfully and angrily.She must have seen that Huang Yan was a Han Chinese.

Looking at her silent gaze, Huang Yan inevitably felt a little ashamed, and hastily whispered: "Our family is not an envoy."

The Wuliangha people turned to Huang Yan and said: "I told the general the identity of Eunuch Huang, and explained that you are not a spy. The general asked you, what do you want to do in Mongolia? Does King Zhao want to surrender?"

Huang Yan hurriedly said: "King Zhao is the clan of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to surrender to Mongolia even if he dies. The Ming Dynasty is fighting for power and profit, and King Zhao wants to use our family as a scapegoat. Our family can't survive, so we come to the Great Khan. Our family has The news told the Great Khan that the Emperor of Ming came with an army of 30 to attack the Great Khan of Mongolia!"

The red | body woman heard this and looked slightly sideways.

Both the Mongolian general and Huang Yan were translated by the Wuliangha people.The general said with a smile in Mongolian: "You are late, we already know the news. Why did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty come to the grassland? Do you want to rob our cattle and sheep, or do you want good pastures full of grass seeds?"

Huang Yan bowed and said: "Last year, the Mongolian army entered the customs and burned, killed, looted|plundered the population. The emperor was very angry and wanted to revenge|revenge the Tatars. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor claimed to be the father of all Han people, and he wanted to serve his people Get ahead."

When the Han woman heard this, she looked at Huang Yan with complicated eyes.

The Mongolian general said: "The ancestors said that the greatest happiness of a man is to kill the enemy's men and sleep with their women. On the grassland, wolves will sometimes come to the sheepfold and take some sheep away. We Tatars It is a pack of wolves, this is the arrangement of God.

It was useless for the Han emperors to be angry. They did not understand the rules of the grassland and could not survive on the grassland.We just need to change another place, and when the food brought by the Han people is gone, they will go back.Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson wanted to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he couldn't do it, because the Huns in the Han Dynasty didn't have stirrups. "

Huang Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "The general is very reasonable! Our family is willing to be the servant of the strong."

After listening to the translation, the Mongolian general raised his head and laughed.

The Mongolian general is tall and thick, with yellow teeth, but his small eyes are shrewd, and he has already discovered the eye contact between the Han woman and Huang Yan.The general smiled and pointed at the woman and said, "This woman's husband is an official of the Ming Dynasty, and was captured by the Khan's army in the manor. She said that in the Ming Dynasty, her fingers could not be touched by other men, but On the grassland, she has to abide by the rules of the grassland, look how obedient she is now!"

Huang Yan said with a smile: "Yes, yes."

At this time, Wuliangha said humanely: "The general will save face and let Eunuch Huang live in the tent arranged by him. If Arutai thinks you are useful, he will summon you."

Huang Yan said: "You have to speak for me, if I die, I won't get the money."

Wu Liangha said humanely: "When I get here, I have already done my own work, and I can't help you with other things. Eunuch Huang and Tuotuo have something nice to say."

Huang Yan had no choice but to bow to the Mongolian general and bid farewell.

The three of them backed up to the door of the tent, then turned and walked out.

At this moment, a sound of horseshoes was heard suddenly. When Huang Yan followed the sound, he saw a woman in a red robe riding a horse and leading a few people, rampaging in the camp without restraint.

"Get out of the way, kneel on the ground!" Wuliangha reminded.

Huang Yan hastily complied.

Tuotuo whispered: "Sister Alutai, the woman Khan likes, quick concubine."

When the red-robed woman rushed over, she suddenly reined in her mount and turned her head to look at Huang Yan very curiously.Obviously Huang Yan's clothes are very special here.She showed a contemptuous smile and murmured something.

After taking a few rides away, Huang Yancai asked, "What did she say?"

Wu Liangha said: "She said that the officials of the Han people are so weak and thin. She mistakenly thought that Eunuch Huang was an envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty to the grassland."

Huang Yan sighed and got up from the ground full of humiliation.At this time, he heard the sound of the horn from a distance, and he watched the sunset in the depths of the boundless grassland following the sound, feeling helplessness and depression gradually covering his heart.
