The Altai Mountains, in the Turkic language, was known as the 'Golden Peak'. It was extraordinary and majestic, spanning between the Heavenly Mountain Range and the Alxa Plains, and was a natural barrier that blocked the snow-capped mountains of the desert. The source of the famous Ertix River was here. It flowed slowly from south to north, and eventually flowed into Lake Usubnol in the Alxa Plains.
After crossing the lofty mountains of the Altai Mountains, the first thing that came into view was the endless green carpet that stretched all the way to the horizon. Countless colorful flowers fell from the sky like stars in the sky, beautiful and beautiful. A wide and clear river flowed down from the lofty mountains, leisurely flowing into the distance. In the warm spring sun, the surface of the water sparkled, flashing a dazzling golden light.
"Success, we've succeeded!" After several months of travel, crossing the snow-capped mountains, crossing the desert, and experiencing the ordeal of life and death, the soldiers could not help cheering and crying tears of joy when the green grassland once again came into view.
From the Helan Mountains to the Altai Mountains, they had taken a road that no one had ever taken before. Not only had they successfully avoided the Hu tribes on the grassland, but they had also stealthily entered the heart of the Turkic people. The first time they crossed the Helan Mountains, the first time they stepped into the Alxa Plains, and the first time they stood in front of the Hu King Tinkezil, the dreams of countless soldiers at the border had been realized one by one. This was destined to be a great and glorious expedition that would be recorded in the history of China.
Along the river, countless cattle and sheep were leisurely grazing in the lush green land, like moving chess pieces. Herds of horses neighed as they galloped, their manes flying like waves. From afar came loud and clear singing. It was the herding Hu people singing to their heart's content, their clear voice drifting for a long time.
Green grass, clear water, blue sky, and the beautiful Alxa Plains were serene and quiet. It was like a paradise that had transcended the mundane world.
The picturesque scenery in front of them made their blood boil. Even a calm person like Hu Bugui could not help but burst into tears, murmuring, "We're here, we're really here. This is Kobudo. After passing through here, we'll be facing the Hu King Tinkezil. It's like a dream. Old Gao, quick, hit me twice. "
Gao Qiu chuckled and said with a solemn expression, "What dream? This is real! I, Old Gao, have always believed that as long as Brother Lin leads us, no matter how difficult it is, we will definitely reach Ke Zil. What do you think? My prediction is correct, right? "
What a thick-skinned fellow. Almost catching up to General Lin. Hu Bugui helplessly rolled his eyes and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Big Brother Lin, where do we go next? Are we going to kill our way over just like that? "Li Wuling's eyes shone with a golden light as he looked at the flocks of cattle and sheep along the banks of the river. In the past few days, his injuries had already healed, and he was rubbing his palms together, eager to give it a try.
"What's the rush?" Lin Wanrong chuckled and looked around. "This Kebudo is a good place. There are many treasures hidden here. I want to find something here!"
"Treasure?!" Hearing this word, Gao Qiu's eyes turned green. "What treasure? Gold and silver or pearls and agate? Brother Lin, don't worry. I, Old Gao, specialize in finding treasures. Even if I have to dig three feet underground, I will definitely dig it out for you. "
Li Wuling disdainfully waved his hand. "Che, what gold and silver. The Turks don't even know how to smelt swords and sabers, where can we find these things? I think it's possible for you to dig out some sheep bones. "
The smelting skills of the Turks were far inferior to those of China. The weapons they forged were extremely crude. Little Li's disdain towards them was not without reason.
Lin Wanrong smiled. "What treasure it is, you will know in a moment. Big brother Hu Bugui, have you sent out scouts? "
Hu Bugui hurriedly nodded. "I have sent out more than twenty brothers. Because this place is close to the imperial court of the Hu people, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, I ordered them to stay within a hundred miles. If anything happens, report back immediately, and do not advance rashly. "
"That's good." Lin Wanrong waved his hand. He sternly said, "Pass down the order, we will set up camp here tonight. Because we are close to the heart of the enemy, there could be changes at any time. Everyone is to wait, do not set up tents, do not light a fire, wear armor and sleep on the ground. If anyone disobeys, they will be punished according to military law! "
Hu Bugui hurriedly nodded and was about to make arrangements when Lin Wanrong suddenly called out again. "Come back — —"
Old Hu turned around. Lin Wanrong concentrated for a long time, then suddenly sighed. "Yujia! You must watch over her!! "
This reminder could be said to be timely. Ever since Yiwu entered the Sea of Death, Yueya 'er had gone through thick and thin with everyone. Gao Qiu, Little Li, Hu Bugui and the rest's impression of her gradually changed, and the line of hostility became more and more blurred. It was nothing in the Snow Mountain Desert, but now that they had entered the grasslands and Kizil was right in front of them. To put it bluntly, this was Yujia's territory. If she secretly did something and let the Hu people know in advance, then everything would be over.
"I understand!" Hu Bugui solemnly replied, then hurriedly left.
Li Wuling blinked and whispered, "Big brother Lin, have you visited Yujia these few days?!"
Lin Wanrong shook his head slightly. Ever since they came down from the snowy mountains, Yueya 'er hid far away the moment she saw him. Her face was as calm as water, without anger or joy, even the coldness of the past had vanished. Using the phrase "like strangers" to describe the current relationship between the two of them was the most appropriate.
Li Wuling sighed, frowning. "What a pity, if only she was not a Turkic!"
If she was not a Turkic, then we would not have met! Lin Wanrong laughed, but his heart was full of mixed feelings. If he really met Yujia on the battlefield, what kind of scene would it be? From living and dying together to living and dying together, life was really wonderful!
The army re-entered the grasslands, ushering in a rare moment of rest. In the heart of the Hu people, a great battle was about to break out, but the soldiers were happy and content. To them, crossing Lop Nor and stepping over Heaven Mountain was already a narrow escape. So what if they were facing the court of the Hu people? They had nothing to fear.
Lin Wanrong strolled along the foot of the mountain, his eyes looking around, not knowing what he was looking for. After turning left and right for almost an hour, he still didn't find anything. Seeing that only the small hill in the distance had not been searched, he was about to step over when Gao Qiu, who was following beside him, suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that Yujia?"
Yujia? Lin Wanrong raised his head and saw that on the slope far away, a beautiful figure was hugging her knees, quietly curled up on the ground. His gaze drifted, not knowing where it landed.
It really was Yueya 'er! She was still wearing that oversized gown, tightly wrapping around her exquisite figure, her beautiful figure faintly discernible. This gown had been bartered in the snow of Heaven Mountain, and now it was hers. Lin Wanrong hesitated for a moment, then strode over.
The rustling of footsteps woke Yujia from her thoughts. She turned around to look, her eyes indescribably calm.
Just as he approached the hill, a unique smell came from the air. It was fragrant and bitter at the same time. Lin Wanrong stretched his nose and sniffed, feeling refreshed. He quickened his steps and quickly climbed up the hill. He smiled at Yueya 'er, "Hello, little sister. Are you here to look at the scenery? "
Yu Jia stood up without saying a word, brushed past him, and walked down the mountain.
Lin Wanrong smiled disapprovingly, and looked forward. The scenery on both sides of the hill was different. On one side, there was green grass, while on the other side, there was a vast yellow land. The land was densely packed, and one could not see the end. It was filled with small green trees a few feet tall. On the trees were palm-sized leaves, shaped like bananas. Some of the larger ones had already bloomed, pink, purple, and white. It was a beautiful sight.
This thing was too familiar. Lin Wanrong smiled, took a deep breath, and sighed, "Such a beautiful Spicy Nose Grass!"
Yueya 'er, who had already walked a few feet, stopped. She quickly turned around, her eyes cold, and said, "How do you know this is Spicy Pen Grass?!"
It would be strange if I didn't know! Lin Wanrong laughed, "Little sister. Are you asking me?! "
Yujia gritted her teeth and nodded.
Lin Wanrong blinked, "That day when you treated Little Li, didn't you use this Spicy Nose Grass? I saw it that day. What's so strange about it now?! "
"You are lying!" Yujia looked at him coldly, and disdainfully exposed his lie, "When I treated him, I used dried and cut Spicy Nose Grass, as thin as silk. These immature Spicy Nose Grass grow on trees, and they have to be dried, roasted, and cut before they can be shaped. When have you ever seen an immature Spicy Nose Grass? "
Yujia was indeed a smart person. She caught his tail in an instant. Lin Wanrong laughed, "Little sister. Don't forget, I am an extraordinary person who has traveled all over the world. It is not strange for me to know this Spicy Nose Grass. Not only do I know it, I can also use it for many things. Do you believe me?! "
Not many people believed him when he said he had traveled all over the world. But now, he was using it as a shield, and no one could do anything about it. Yujia looked at him, snorted, and turned away.
"I have traveled all over the world. It is not strange for me to know this Spicy Nose Grass." Lin Wanrong bragged and looked at her unhurriedly. "Little sister, on the other hand, it's a little strange that you know this thing. As far as I know, even in your Tu Jue, this Spicy Nose Grass is a top secret. Only a few people know about it. You are so young, where did you hear about it? "
"From a book!" Yueya 'er replied coldly.
"From a book?!" Lin Wanrong's eyes widened, and he said in confusion, "I have also read many strange books, such as Dong Xuanzi's Thirty-six Sanshou, Shitai and Lustful Girl Sutra, The Old Monk on the Meat Praying Mat, I have read all these books over and over again. How come I have not found these records?"
You really are reading strange books! Yueya 'er's face heated up, and she turned away, too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Brother Lin, is this the treasure you are looking for? But it is just a few trees?!" Gao Qiu was slightly disappointed, and he sighed.
Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and smiled. "It's true that there are a few trees, but these trees grow gold. Using this to extort money from the Westerners is a sure thing! This place is called Kebudo, right? Brother Gao, remember this place. Hehe! "
Old Gao didn't know what he was talking about, but Yu Jia heard it clearly. Her expression changed, and she said angrily, "Old Wo, what are you doing?"
Lin Wanrong waved his hand indifferently, "I can't remember what I want to do now. I will think about it when I go back tonight. When I have time in the future, I will tell Miss Yu Jia. "
This bandit's ability was not just for show, he even knew this. Yu Jia looked at him in shock, and saw Lin Wanrong's calm expression, and he was smiling, looking harmless.
"If you dare to steal Kebudo, I will definitely not let you go!" In fear, the Turkic girl suddenly raised her head, and a cold light shot out of her eyes as she looked at him.
"Not let me go?!" Lin Wanrong sighed, "Miss Yu Jia, our China has an old saying, 'Only the officials can set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps.' I stole Kebudo from you, and you will not let me go. But ask yourself, you Turkic people, how much of my land have you taken from China, how many of my people have you killed? Will they let you go?! "
Yu Jia didn't speak. This was a dead knot that couldn't be untied. Even the smartest person in the world wouldn't be able to face this problem.
"Miss Yu Jia, your home is in Kizil, right?" Lin Wanrong suddenly looked at her and asked with a smile.
When China's cavalry magically appeared at the peak of Altai, Yu Jia already knew what he was going to do. Hearing this, she stubbornly turned her head, and gritted her teeth, "Why are you asking this? So what if I am? So what if I'm not? "
Lin Wanrong silently shook his head. Standing on the hill, the dark curtain of night gradually fell, and the cold wind of the grassland continued to howl in their ears.
"It's getting dark, the wind is coming!" He softly sighed, but it was like a heavy hammer that hit Yu Jia's heart.
