Wolf boy

Recently, He Liantao has always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and the situation that was too peaceful made him more vigilant.

With regard to the peace talks with the grassland, he only started, and received responses from many officials and forces, even those who he did not expect, tried their best to help.But he thought that he did not have such prestige in the court.

If something goes wrong, it is a demon. After thinking about it for nearly half a month, these lords and officials who suddenly appeared, their resumes are all clean, and they have never been involved in party disputes.They set off such a violent momentum that even the power of the noble concubine's mother clan was suppressed.

He Liantao thought silently, could it be that these people from all walks of life who usually fight each other suddenly have their hearts attached to the common people?Just thinking about it makes Helian Tao laugh.

So, at its root, there was only one variable in this matter from beginning to end.

Helian Zongshuo.

The foundation of that person over the years, at this moment, before his eyes, emerged the tip of the iceberg.

It's just that Heliantao was a little puzzled, he acted too hastily, and often haste wasted money. Zongshuo couldn't understand this, so what was he thinking?I think about it myself, but I don't know.

But now, since I have already taken advantage of this potential, I must use this "potential" to the extreme.Helianjie, who has no hope of succeeding to the throne, the power behind him is gradually turning towards Concubine Li who has a young son. He can't waste this good opportunity!As the saying goes, if you want to govern the country and the world, you must first regulate the family.For him, home is country.

Chaozhong is surging, but Zhaocheng, which is far away from the border, seems to be quite at ease.

Ah Tong was busy going back and forth between the grassland and Zhaocheng, "escorting the darts" back and forth.

As a result, the young man had nothing to do in the tent, because Zong Shuo did not show his face publicly in the military camp, so it was inconvenient for the two of them to show off too much in the city, so Ah Tong only ate and slept all day long.

It's just that Zong Shuo didn't tell him to stop sleeping. He often tossed and bent his legs and waist, his body was sweaty and his feet were soft. It was more tiring than running several hills!He himself was exhausted enough, but the man was full of energy, and he was busy without delaying anything, so he gritted his teeth.

Secondly, the mutual market has just begun, and there must be someone to take care of the market.Zong Shuo was busy with other things and kept sending letters all day long. Others could neither speak Kelie nor convince the Kelie people who came to patrol the grassland.Even Xing Wu, standing in front of a group of extremely burly and tall Kelie men, was a bit shorter, not to mention the others, all tongues were knotted and heads were numb.

So, when Ah Tong slapped the table, he simply did it himself!

Zong Shuo was a little bit reluctant, but he also knew that Ah Tong was bored, besides, with Ah Tong's skills, and with the Kelie people guarding him, he was safe and sound, so in the end he could only reluctantly let go.

However, Ah Tong's visit relieved a lot of anxiety.

Kelie absolutely obeyed Ah Tong, and Kelie's patriarch and elders wished they could set up a shrine to enshrine Ah Tong, absolutely pointing out where to fight.

The Central Plains caravan escorted along the way and the few Central Plains generals who followed were afraid of the Krets, but Ah Tong was cute and gentle, making people love him.

Ah Tong and the two of them built a bridge, and gradually they became familiar with each other, and they were no longer wary of each other.

Today, the escort army that Zhaocheng followed happened to be an old friend of Ah Tong's supply battalion.The head of the pawn had even asked Ah Tong to teach him a few commonly used Kret words, such as good brothers, drinking and so on.

But the best sentence that the pawn said was: "Friend, roast rabbit and roast rabbit!"

Leaving the Gobi, choking on dry food, this shows the superb hunting and barbecue skills of the Kelie people, and the best among them is Ah Tong.

Ah Tong brought back an old sheep from a distance, and even surrounded him with a few prairie wolves. They followed in Ah Tong's footsteps and ate some heart, liver, spleen and lungs, but they would not hurt the caravan people.

In the grassland, at the moment of truce, man-made disasters are no longer there, and the most dangerous thing is the attack of wolves.If you encounter a pack of wolves, not to mention transporting goods, whether people, horses and camels can go out together depends on good luck.

But the wolves never came to disturb the route Ah Tong led the crowd.

Many years later, when these routes have gradually been developed into lush commercial routes, people on the road have formed a tradition. During their journeys, they always take out animal offal or other food as sacrifices to wolves. And called it "walking foot".Until the end, people here left the custom of sacrificing wolves.

But right now, as more and more goods are traded, Ah Tong and his group have also attracted a lot of banditry. The Zhaocheng army is not good at fighting on the grasslands. , and then never hold back.

However, these prairie robbers are always harassing and harassing. Once they are chased, they will scatter around, flexible, and slippery, making people endlessly kill them.

It was night now, apart from Kret who was chasing the scattered bandits, a group of people also followed the trading convoy and slowly came to various small tribes in the grassland.

People from the entire small tribe, except those who went out to graze, came out to meet the caravan. They were very happy that the people from the Central Plains brought food, salt, cloth, and other things that were in short supply in the grassland.

There are also two types of goods in the caravan. One is that they have already ordered them, and they only need to wait for the goods to be delivered here, and then take away the exchanged items.The other kind is like peddlers who set up a market. They pass through the trade roads and various small tribes along with the escort team. Every time they stop, they set up a small stall and ask everyone to choose by themselves. Small market.

So as soon as Ah Tong and others stopped in the small tribe, those small merchants spread out their products. How could people in the grassland see such a dazzling array of things?I just feel that everything is strange, such as needles and threads, jewelry sachets, pipes and porcelain jars.

There are even delicate ear picks, which made the leader of this small tribe hold the ear picks for a while, and sighed with emotion at the daughter who was holding herbs beside her in exchange for needles and threads.

"Look! Such delicate handwork is actually used to pick ears."

"Hey, don't talk about ear-picking, look, I'm still itchy!" The leader's daughter nodded straight, thinking that it's a good thing, so that his father won't be scratching the pillars of the felt tent all day long. All shaking a little.

So, when the caravan came, it was such a rare bustle that even the herdsmen were called back to see what was new together.

Ah Tong looked at the returning herd in the distance, and saw that there were many newborn cubs, so he nodded. As long as there is no war and the situation is stable, this grassland will be full of vitality again.

Most of the small tribes had very little gold and silver, and the traders didn't have to ask for gold and silver. Instead, they bartered and brought the products of the grassland to the Central Plains to sell again, and they could make a lot of money, which was worthy of the hard work and danger along the way.

The grassland people are also hospitable and will bring a lot of kumiss to entertain the caravan, but most of them are loaded into the car by the merchants, leaving some practical items in exchange, and the tribe also wants to drink some wine for the defenders. A group of troops has strict military discipline and does not drink a drop of alcohol, but the Krets have no time to drink, and they have to constantly patrol.

The prairie people had no choice but to give up, and devoted all their enthusiasm to the caravan.

In order to thank the guards for their care along the way, the caravan will also send some beautiful gadgets to everyone.It's just that even though they were often on the road together, these peddlers in the Central Plains who only went to the chests of the Kelie people really didn't dare to come forward to strike up a conversation, so they gave everything to Ah Tong and asked the smiling young man to share it.

After receiving these small gifts they had never seen in the grasslands, such as small carved incense burners, or exquisite pearl earrings, they would roast more wild animals and give them back to others.

Vendors often discuss life in the market, and they are used to observing words and demeanor, so they are also thoughtful about giving small gifts.

One day they got together to study what to give, so that these scary big men could also use it, so that it would not be useless.

Within a few days, they discovered that among the group of tall and strong men who followed, some of them were tall, but extremely handsome, with brightly colored clothes and bone decorations on their earlobes.People like this tend to count more in terms of what they say in the team, and everyone not only gives in to them, but also indulges them.

As a result, the peddlers gathered together a box of small pearls, wore them into earrings, and gave them to the Kelie people.

This time, it was sent to the hearts of these people. Pearls are rarely seen in the grassland. Although a small one is not worth much in the Central Plains, the Kelie people like it very much. I wear them on my ears, and I like them very much.

The shiny beads hang down on their wheat-colored or slightly brown skinned faces, reflecting their delicate skin and handsome outlines.

So, without waiting for them to deliver it again, many rough-handed and rough-handed Klein came to the door, using broken Central Plains dialect, making gestures and making gestures without explaining clearly, which made the peddlers dare not breathe.

Ah Tong hurried over to join in the fun and translate, "Uncle, they want to buy some more earrings with small beads, so they can give them to their daughter-in-law when they go home!"

Ke Lie's big man nodded quickly, and the peddlers breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in their hearts, they don't know what the wives of these big men's families are like, even those men are so handsome, how beautiful is that woman!

It's just that the peddlers don't know that those handsome men who seem to be able to twist their own heads off are their daughters-in-law...

In the end, all the earrings or necklaces with pearls or crystals were sold out, but one of the older jewelry dealers had a heart and left an earring for Ah Tong.

The pearls on the earrings are strange in shape and blue in color, very beautiful.

"Little son, I have troubled you for many days, so I present this pearl as a present. This pearl is shaped like a wolf's head. This is the only one. It will look good when you wear it."

Ah Tong quickly shook his head, he didn't have pierced ears, and one pierced it was very painful.

"Then, go back and bring it to your wife."

When the businessman said this, Ah Tong's eyes lit up, obviously tempted!

The young son of the businessman who came with him teased Ah Tong, "Hey! He has only one child, what kind of wife can he have?"

Ah Tong couldn't hear this, so he said hi, and retorted loudly with his hips on his hips, "Of course I have a daughter-in-law, she looks good when she grows!"

The businessman and his son looked at Ah Tong and laughed, but Ah Tong thought about it, Zong Shuo didn't seem to have pierced ears either, but they could be worn on the spike pendant. This pearl is shaped like a wolf's head, which is really pretty.

Ah Tong didn't ask for other people's things in vain, so he went behind his back and took out a piece of gold from the big trouser pocket sewn on the inside.

The merchant saw that the gold was really big enough to pay for all the small items sent out, and even had some leftovers, so he didn't dare to take it anyway, but Ah Tong waved his hand, "Take it, this thing is in my pocket. It's worth the price!"

Ah Tong still didn't finish his sentence, Zong Shuo insisted on keeping the gold on him when he was visiting the Zhaocheng market a few days ago.I'm afraid he has no money to spend.

But gold is too heavy!He saved more and more, and he almost lost his pants, so he just gave it away at this moment.

As a result, Ah Tong proudly took this pearl like a wolf's head, and waited to bring it to his "daughter-in-law" when he returned to Zhaocheng!

But before returning to Zhaocheng, Ah Tong saw Zong Shuo.

Zong Shuo was originally busy with all kinds of intricate relationships between the court and the court, constantly weighing and probing, but he heard Hu'er Zhahe report that recently the wild horses in the grassland have been infested, and they directly plundered many tribes along the trade route.

The major powers in the grassland are resting and recuperating, and even the Naiman started to herd herds. Instead, the group of bloodthirsty wild horses took advantage of the loopholes and lawlessly plundered the tribes that had traded grain with the Central Plains on the commercial road.

These people are not going to get rid of it, it's time to get rid of these scourges.

Originally, he thought it would be better to ask Ke Lie to kill someone directly, but Ah Tong and the caravan were still on the way, so Zong Shuo led the army overnight and rode out of the city just in case there was any emergency.

Not only Ke Lie, but also Xing Wu's scout battalion went deep into the grassland to suppress the bandits this time. The scouts still followed Xing Wu with a pale face, ready to compete with the elusive wild horses to hide and track.

Ah Tong looked at the galloping team, but excitedly jumped up and waved, shouted a few words to Zong Shuo, but then seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned back to look for the son of a merchant in the crowd.

Then, the young man pointed to the first general in the army who was wearing armor, riding on his hips, and majestic, handsome and compelling. He bared his small white teeth with a bright face towards the young man who was already respectful and fascinated. Said.

"Look! That's my wife!"
