Chapter 673

A week after passing the milk tea, the old man was finally able to speak formally.

"Several people who don't look like this place, I just heard this gentleman say that you are from the Central Plains, right?"

Zong Xin nodded and said, "It's true that we are from the Central Plains. At this time, we are taking the Silk Road again, passing through Yizhou, and want to go to Tianshan Mountain to see it."

"Okay~ It's a great pioneering work to re-take the Silk Road..." Eberbula said: "There is nothing to see in Tianshan, just trees and grass. Don't waste your time and go to the Silk Road. If the silk If the road is reopened, the Central Plains can bring better quality tea bricks, and the price will be cheaper than now. It’s getting late now, so let’s go.”

After traveling all over the world for so many years, I have never seen such a "hospital" nomad who asked the guests to leave quickly, and it was only noon, and he even said that it was getting late.

It’s fine if you don’t know, but everyone in the room knows that Aberbula is really hospitable and kind-hearted. He deliberately didn’t tell these guests how dangerous Tianshan is, but said that Tianshan is not good and there is nothing to see. leave.

The old man has a good character, Zong Xin is also a little relieved.He likes to see good people, but he prefers to see bad people, because after seeing good people, he feels comfortable, and after seeing bad people, he feels comfortable physically, because he can abuse him once.

Zong Dao: "It's okay. Anyway, I'm separated from the big team now, so I think it's a leisure trip. And I've heard the legend of Tianshan Mountain a long time ago. It must be beautiful here. I don't know what the top of the mountain looks like. I must climb to the top of Tianshan Mountain , and look back at the world at a glance.”

Abebula glared at Jing Qiong, his face full of complaints.Obviously he is a Uyghur. Doesn't he know how dangerous it is on Tianshan Mountain?Not to mention the Tianshan Mountains, this grassland alone is already very dangerous. This is the territory of the Black Khans.

It's just that the Heihan rarely come to the grasslands. They don't like to graze their own animals, but prefer the joy of hunting.In fact, there are quite a lot of vegetables and fruits here, but they don't like to eat these things, they like to eat meat.It is also because of this that the Black Khans have a greater demand for milk tea and need more money to buy tea bricks. The number of times they rob is also very frequent.

This Uyghur man clearly knew about these things, yet he took the people from the Central Plains to the Tianshan Mountains. What does this mean?Does he want these people killed?Or does he have some ulterior secret?Take a closer look, these women are really beautiful, this person probably wants these men to die so that he can monopolize these women... What a villain.

Aberbula said: "There is nothing to see in Tianshan, and there are many dangers here. Although there are many grasslands, the grasslands are full of swamps. My herdsmen must be very careful when grazing. Moreover, there are fierce beasts nearby, food is scarce, and there are often ferocious beasts." Stealing livestock and even eating people."

Zong Xin looked outside, then said awkwardly: "We are not afraid of wild beasts."

"It's also..." Aberbula originally wanted to scare the group of people with ferocious beasts, hoping they would leave early, but after thinking about it carefully, the ferocious beasts they raised were much more powerful than the beasts in Shantian, so of course there was no need to be afraid of these ferocious beasts.What's more, what he said just now was all nonsense, the beasts here are not so powerful, they can't even kill sheep.

Zong said: "Old man, we know the territory of the Black Khans here. We are not afraid of the Black Khans, we just want to go to the Tianshan Mountains. By the way, where do the Black Khans live? Can you point us to the direction? Lest they search around the mountains, I just go straight to them."

Eberbula sighed deeply, such a damned ghost who can't be persuaded by good words, a person who is so merciful that he can't help himself.Since they wanted to die, they had no choice.

"The Heihan people live in Xiheigou in the east, which is convenient for hunting near the water source. The Xiheigou mountain is high, the snow cap is year-round, the glaciers are thick, the forest is dense, and the land is covered by cypresses. Exotic flowers and plants are ubiquitous. Xiheigou stream flows long, rushes and roars, and the stream climbs mountains and falls. There is ice, snow, and water. The air is cool and humid, and it rains when it sees clouds. It snows in severe winter, and the pine color in the valley No adjustment." Aberbula said: "It's not difficult to go to Xiheigou, the difficulty is the Heikhan people along the way. The Heikhan people have a strong sense of territory, they are brave and fierce, and they respect strength. And for the people of the tribe The necessities of life, often robbing passing merchants, and even ordinary people. It’s not like raping and looting, but it’s not a good thing either.”

"You said it in such detail. Have you ever been to Xiheigou?"

Aberbula shook his head and said: "I haven't been there, I just heard from the rent-collecting Black Khans. They invited me to go, but I haven't the guts. Actually, the Black Khans want to talk about some truths, but they only talk My own reasoning, as for their reasoning, I don’t know. Anyway, for so many years, they can pay as much as they say, as long as they give me money, they never make me feel sorry for me, and sometimes even bring me some of their prey Let me taste it."

Zong Xin nodded and said: "So, they are a group of very moral bad people, right? They have their own living customs and their own set of theories, and they think they are bad people just because they don't understand their reasoning."

"It's almost like this, but their reasoning is only for themselves, not for outsiders. So even if you go to Xiheigou, you will die. They have a strong sense of territory, and stepping into their territory is incomparable to the Black Khan people. offend."

Zong said: "How is it possible? Didn't they invite you to Xiheigou? This group of people is quite reasonable. Thank you old man for the milk tea. I will take my leave."

"Wait a minute, are you really going?"

"Is that still fake?"

Aberbula took a deep breath and said, "Then you hang this thing around your neck, only if you bring this thing, will they reason with you, otherwise they won't even have a chance to reason."

Aberbula took out something that looked like a claw from a pendant on one side, and then said: "This is the claw of a snow leopard. If you have this thing, the Black Khans will try to reason with you. Mostly they will take away your belongings and won’t hurt you. Of course, this is under the condition that you don’t resist, otherwise they will still kill you.”

"Thank you, old man." Zong Xin took out a small ingot of gold from his body. Although it was not big, it was worth a lot.For such a nomadic family, this small piece of gold is enough for them to live in prosperity for two or three years.

Although this is etiquette, the guests have to give the host some milk tea money, but this is too much.Not to mention gold, even silver is too much, so a few copper coins should be enough.How much is homemade goat milk and some broken tea leaves worth?

"It's too much, it's too much." Aberbra felt that the money was too much, and he deserved it.

Zong Xin said politely: "We are from the Central Plains, and the wealth of Central Plains is the smallest on my body. I really don't have any change. If it doesn't work, then change it..."

Zong Xin took out another bigger piece of gold, and Abebula was so scared that he almost sat down on the ground.Zhongyuan Fuyu himself knew it for a long time, but he didn't expect to be so rich that he didn't bring any silver when he went out...all gold.Of course I didn’t dare to ask for a bigger one, so I just took this small one.

Not only Aberbula was surprised, but even Jing Qiong was also very surprised.This group of Central Plains people are indeed rich, and the Silk Road is indeed a road to wealth. They are so rich that they still want to take the risk of taking the Silk Road.But this is indeed a good thing. Porcelain, silk, and spices from the Central Plains are extremely valuable in the Western Regions, and they cannot be produced by themselves. No one can tell how much money they can make this trip.

After leaving Abbula's Hana, the group got on their mounts. Zongxin also specifically told Xiaobai to run slower to prevent him from vomiting again. Vomiting out the milk tea he just drank would be too wasteful.

Going to the east of Tianshan Mountain, Tianshan Mountain is a mountain range, not a mountain. This mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, and countless mountains stand here, but in fact, there are countless outstanding mountains.Xiheigou is in the ravine between the two big mountains, but Zong Xin and his party know that it is heading east, but they don't know the exact location.

Zong Xin suddenly said: "The Tianshan Mountains are really majestic, and the grasslands here can be said to be endless. Why not move Yizhou to this place? The resources here are rich, and it is far better than the places like Yizhou where no birds shit. You can't even grow vegetables in Yizhou, so you can grow whatever you want here. And I planned it, Tianshan is no smaller than Yizhou."

"It's inconvenient to be in the mountains, not to mention that the climate here in Tianshan is actually not good. There are not many places suitable for living, not to mention that there are grasslands everywhere, and there is no way to build houses here. We can't let everyone live in Hana. Here Only nomads are suitable for living."

Zong Xin thought about it for a moment. It is actually inconvenient to live on the grassland. There are mountains everywhere nearby and the uneven terrain makes it much more difficult to build a city here than in Yizhou. The foundation here is not suitable for building a house, let alone It's a city wall.Moreover, the Uighurs are also accustomed to life in the desert, so they would not adapt to a place full of grass.

The desert has the benefits of the desert. The altitude of Yizhou is relatively low. Although the sun is always in the sky, the ultraviolet rays are not as strong as Tianshan, so the people of Yizhou are much fairer than the Heihan clan.The Heihan clan lives in the mountains and forests where the sun is not strong, but they are all dark.

"There is no way. It is really not suitable for building a house here. The foundation is not stable, and it is a plateau area. It is easy to collapse when building a house. It is the most correct choice for you to choose the hot flat land." Zong Xin admired: "Actually The wisdom of many ancestors is stronger than that of today's people, and some things cannot be explained clearly, but it must be right to do so, which is very strange."

"My husband...I heard some wind and grass." At this time, Dugu Xingyue's skill was the highest, and he also felt that Zong Xin hadn't noticed the surrounding situation, but Dugu Xingyue obviously heard someone's voice. among.
