Live as the emperor

Chapter 151 Everything I once had

This is the area where the Xiongnu bordered the Dagan Kingdom, and not far away was the border with the Yuan Kingdom. This should be regarded as the place where the three countries were handed over.

Geographically, this village belongs to the Xiongnu, but Chen Guang saw that the style of the houses here are seven or eight points similar to the thatched adobe houses lived by the people in Qianguo. Each adobe house has a half-person-high bamboo fence. , which is also a typical dry house style.

It is precisely because this place belongs to the Huns that Chen Guang and the others have to keep a low profile.After all, the Huns already had a bad reputation, even if they had never been in contact with them, Chen Guang had to cheer up.

This village is not big, without walls—in fact, Chen Guang is not sure whether it is a village, but in his concept, any place where people live together should be considered a village—because it cannot be called a city.

No matter how low-key Chen Guang and his group were, there were hundreds of people who suddenly appeared here, and it was absolutely impossible not to attract people's attention.When they were approaching the nearest rough house, they met a few young people. These young people were all dressed in coarse sweaters, wearing straw sandals, and carrying hoes and poles on their shoulders.They seemed to be coming out of the village to work in the fields outside the village.Judging from this, this village is mainly based on farming, which is quite different from the nomadic style of the Huns.

"Stop, who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going?" Seeing Chen Guang and the others approaching, the oldest-looking one among these young men threw the top three names in the world to Chen Guang. Big philosophical conundrum.

In Chen Guang's mind, the passage in "Journey to the West" when he was asked about the time elapsed suddenly appeared. The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and was sent to the west to send Buddha to ask for marriage.

Of course, if you say that, you will definitely be arrested and hanged. He said politely: "I am from the Qian Kingdom, and I plan to visit relatives in the Yuan Kingdom. You pay for it."

When he heard that these people spoke the proper language of Qianguo, not the language of the Xiongnu, he felt strange and happy. Could it be that the group of people he met in this territory of the Huns were not Huns?

Hearing that they were from Qianguo, the hostility in the eyes of these young people dissipated a little, and the young man who asked the question said: "So that's the case. Our ancestors also came from there, hiding in this corner and trying to survive , if counted, we are also citizens of the country.”

Chen Guang immediately felt relieved, and I just said, there is no Hun characteristics at all here, it turns out that they are ordinary people of Qianguo.In fact, this kind of people has existed in all dynasties. Most of them migrated to various secluded and far-reaching places to live in order to avoid the war. This place is at the foot of the Daxue Mountain.This is like the one described in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring".

"Ah, we are fellow villagers. As the saying goes, when fellow villagers see fellow villagers, their eyes are full of tears. Seeing you makes me want to cry." Chen Guang said.Then he said: "A few years ago, the Qian Kingdom accepted the abdication and established the country. If the country is stable and peaceful, why don't you consider going back again? The conditions here are so difficult, and it is never comfortable to go back to the country."

The young man smiled wryly and said: "It's easy to say. If we go back, what about the land? What about the household registration? These are all troublesome things. Although the conditions here are a bit difficult, it is rare to see outsiders all year round. We live happily. I think it's fine to be quiet."

Chen Guang thought so, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard an old man's voice in the distance, saying: "What are you guys still dawdling about? Why don't you hurry up and cut the grass back for me, because we want our cattle and sheep to go out today?" Are you hungry tonight?"

When the young man heard this, he replied: "Understood." Then he said to Chen Guang: "That is our village chief, you might as well talk to him."

"Okay, thank you." Chen Guang said.

Originally, Chen Guang and the others could have bypassed this village and directly entered the territory of Yuan Kingdom from a snow-covered mountain road two miles away.However, Min'er said that the road was not very safe, and he would fall off the cliff if he was not careful. It was usually fine, and accidents were most likely to happen at the turn of spring and winter, so Chen Guang decisively decided to take the mainland road, even if he passed through the territory of the Huns. No hesitation—and don’t enter the city of the Huns, and pass by the side, the problem should not be big.At the beginning, Motuo took Min'er to Qianguo, which was the main road.Although it is nominally the land of the Huns, it is still at the junction of the three countries, just like the Golden Triangle.However, there are more bandits and bandits, and caravans generally would rather walk that cliff than this road.

Several young people went to work, Chen Guang said: "You are waiting for me here." He ran up to the old man who was talking, and introduced himself as a businessman.Seeing that the old man was from Qianguo, he didn't make things difficult for him. He just told him that the businessman was easy to be robbed, so he asked Chen Guang to arrange their residence. Chen Guang politely declined, and only said that he could exchange some fresh vegetables and so on. If you live, you can set up a tent by yourself in the open space outside the village.Naturally, the old village chief asked Chen Guang to exchange vegetables, rice, etc., and Chen Guang also generously gave him dozens of taels of silver - which far exceeded the value of these vegetables.

After resting all night, Chen Guang and his party packed up their bags, faced the rising sun, identified their direction, and went to Yuan Kingdom.After walking for two days, they came to a desert.

This is an inland area, the water from oceans and rivers does not pass through here, and the melted snow water from the snow-capped mountains cannot flow so far. Therefore, although the grasslands are lush under the snow-capped mountains, after descending the mountains, it is a desert.

The climate in the desert is very strange. During the day, the sun is shining brightly. It is so hot that Chen Guang wants to peel off his own skin. But at night, he feels cold even when he is wearing a cotton-padded jacket. Changing clothes is frustrating.But this reminded Chen Guang of the sentence "Wear a cotton-padded jacket in the morning and wear gauze in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove."

On the afternoon of the second day after entering the desert, Wu Xin and his brothers brought a strangely dressed man tied up in front of Chen Guang.

Wu Xin cupped his fists at Chen Guang, and said, "Second Master, I have noticed that there are people who seem to be active around us, looking into our reality, and today I finally found an opportunity to capture this guy. This is a Hun, please Second Lord, what should I do with it?"
