Chapter 11: The Guide of Young People - Old Sheepskin

If the pretty girls in the tribe always belong to the Khan, then the best young man in the tribe belongs to the guide of the young people - Old Sheepskin.

Whenever the singing girl plucks the guzheng with her snow-white and slender fingers, and whenever the wandering singer sings "The Story of Oghuz" to praise the ancestors of the Huihe people, a short old man will appear next to the most courageous young man in the tribe.

"You are an eagle. It's time to leave the nest and fly. A small tribe can't accommodate a hero like you."

"You are the wisest young man I have ever seen. Hurry up and leave this quagmire that will make you dirty for the rest of your life. I will follow you and help you achieve great achievements like King Oguz."

"You are a true warrior, and a true warrior should not sleep with big-tailed sheep. Leave here, I will take you to find the most beautiful women on the grassland, and guide your hands to touch those smooth, warm and white bodies. Only when you gallop on them will you feel that you are a true warrior."

"Ah, young Huihe people, how can you Can you bear the life of herding sheep day after day and night after night?

You should ride on a horse and lead countless warriors to the battlefield to find your glory. You should be the focus of everyone's attention, instead of being scolded, beaten, tortured and humiliated by those incompetent people in the tribe who are as incompetent as marmots all day long. "

"Come with me. There is nothing in your tribe except lice that drink blood and eat meat. Go outside and take a look. Wherever the sun shines, there is gold. As long as you get there, pick up your shovel and shovel hard, yes, shovel hard, and the gold will belong to you..."

The above is the special words that Lao Yangpi used to target all the young people he liked in the Huihe tribe.

Some young people hurriedly packed up their things and followed Lao Yangpi after listening to a paragraph.

Such young people would generally be sent to the battle cage by Lao Yangpi to try their luck. If they died in the battle, the people of Shiguo would give Lao Yangpi a bag of gold sand. If they won by chance, Lao Yangpi could get more.

Some young people followed Lao Yangpi after listening to two passages. After a long time, people might see him in the harem of a king. At that time, he was wearing gorgeous clothes, wearing sparkling gems, nestling in the king's arms, and singing long passages of "The Story of Oguz" for the guests with a sharp voice.

Others became horse thieves... The reason why there are so many horse thieves and robbers in the north and south of Tianshan Mountain is that Lao Yangpi contributed a lot.

Yun Chu is like moonlight in the dark night and lightning in the dark clouds in the Aries tribe. Lao Yangpi will naturally not let him go.

Yun Chu was spotted by Lao Yangpi at the age of eight. He wanted Yun Chu to follow him. He said the words he had prepared long ago, over and over again, but he couldn't move Yun Chu's firm heart.

If it was an ordinary Huihe people, Lao Yangpi would have given up. After all, it is not strange for one or two smart people to appear in such a large ethnic group.

However, Old Sheepskin did not give up on Yunchu. He would come to the Aries tribe once every month and continue to persuade Yunchu to follow him. For this, he did not hesitate to personally teach Yunchu a lot of things.

Old Sheepskin is a wise man. He knows that as long as he keeps investing, he will gain more from Yunchu one day.

Yunchu also thinks so... He feels that what he learned from Old Sheepskin is very important to him, especially speaking Changan Mandarin, writing Tang characters with a brush, and learning Tang people's etiquette...

By learning from Old Sheepskin, Yunchu found that Old Sheepskin's understanding of the Tang Dynasty is really not comparable to him, who knows the Tang Dynasty from history books.

He likes to learn from Old Sheepskin.

For five years, Yunchu has been learning very quickly, even far beyond Old Sheepskin's expectations.

Recently, Old Sheepskin should be impatient. In fact, three years ago, Old Sheepskin hoped that Yunchu would follow him.

Now, Yun Chu is not sure whether Lao Yangpi wants to send him to the war cage or to become a horse thief. However, judging from Lao Yangpi's investment in him, the target should be - Datang.

Even so, when Yun Chu heard Jie Siga mention the war cage selection, his body couldn't help but tremble, and Naha burst into tears.

The reputation of Shiguo's war cage selection is extremely famous in the entire Western Regions. On the banks of the Yaosha River outside Zhezhi City of Shiguo Guoting, there always stands a huge iron cage with a length of five meters, a width of five meters, and a height of three meters. The iron cage is covered with murderous iron spikes.

Whenever a warrior from outside the country rings the iron bell next to the iron cage, Shiguo Guoting will send a brave warrior into the war cage.

The warrior from outside the country needs to enter the iron cage and kill the warrior sent by Shiguo with his bare hands. If he defeats this warrior, he can replace this Shiguo warrior and become the new Shiguo warrior!

Once you become a Shiguo warrior, you can get a lot of treasures, beautiful women, and a beautiful courtyard.

If you fail, there is only one outcome - death!

For the warriors of the Western Region, the battle cage selection is the fastest way to make a fortune, but also the closest way to death.

Over the years, countless warriors have died in the battle cage.

Among the dead, 60% were challengers ten years ago, 80% were challengers five years ago, and now, it is said that more than 90% of the dead are challengers.

This is an inevitable result, and it is probably also a strategy of the King of Stone Kingdom to recruit warriors. The force of his own soldiers is getting higher and higher, and the force of the warriors who can defeat his own soldiers must also be higher and higher. Finally, a critical point is reached. For example, now, no one has been able to successfully challenge it for a long time.

Therefore, the Shiguo warriors are the most powerful group of warriors in the Western Region.

A person who is unwilling to stay in his original tribe, especially a warrior, has few options for survival.

Leaving your original tribe and trying to survive in other tribes is extremely difficult, and you won't gain trust at all.

One of the most reliable ways to survive is to become a horse thief, relying on robbing ordinary shepherds, caravans, and camel caravans to survive.

Under normal circumstances, in the Western Region where there are so many thieves, becoming a horse thief means being prepared to fight every day. A young man like Yunchu's age will not survive for a few days before he will die in battle or be killed by his companions.

The other is to go to the Stone Kingdom to participate in the battle cage selection. Being a horse thief is a matter of narrow escape, but participating in the battle cage selection is a choice of no life.

Yunchu didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​challenging the cage! ! !

The precise education he had received told him that challenging the cage was the most inappropriate way for him to make a fortune.

The brain is a good thing. A person who lived more than 1,300 years later went to the second year of Emperor Yonghui of the Tang Dynasty. In order to get rich and live a good life, he abandoned his brain and chose to compete with others in terms of brute force. How stupid is this? Behavior.

"I'm not going to Zhezhi City, my goal is Kucha City!"

Jiesiga looked at Yunchu with an unclear expression and whispered: "You really want to find the Tang people."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Is there a possibility that I am from the Tang Dynasty?"

Jie Siga shook his head and said: "You can't speak the language of the Tang Dynasty, and they won't admit that you are from the Tang Dynasty."

Yun Chu immediately said in standard Tang Dynasty Mandarin: "Of course I can speak Tang Dynasty dialect. Not only can I speak it, I can also recite Tang Dynasty articles."

Although Jiesiga didn't know what Yunchu said, he heard it clearly. This was the standard speech of the Tang Dynasty. He had heard such speech when he followed the Tang army to fight against the Xue Yantuo people as a servant army.

Shocked, Jiesiga thought of the Tang people's fluttering war flags, majestic and murderous troops, but shook his head and said: "It's useless if you can speak the language of the Tang people. At most, you are a Uighur who can speak the language of the Tang people!"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Let's wait until I see Lao Yangpi."

Jie Sika seemed unwilling to say too much to Yunchu. He picked up a bay-red horse tied to the water tank by Naha and said, "This is a two-year-old war horse. I found it for you from Wang Ting." The scimitars, bows and arrows are all ready for you. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time."

Yun Chu bent down and thanked him: "Jie Sika, thank you for preparing these things for me."

Jasika shook his head and pointed at Selema who was at a loss and said, "You should be lucky that you are Selema's son."

Yun Chu thought for a while and felt that what he said seemed to be correct, so he nodded his thanks again and said: "Take care of Selema and Naha."

Jiesika said arrogantly: "From now on, they will be the women in my big Abo tent. Who dares to hurt them?

If you can't survive outside, you can come back and I will arrange something suitable for a samurai to do for you. "

"cloud……"

Selema wanted to speak, but before she could say anything more, Jiesga hugged the crying Naha and dragged Selema towards his tent.

After watching them go away, Yun Chu came to the renovated fire pit, boiled a pot of dandelion tea, threw a few black plums into it, and waited quietly for the water to boil.

Yunchu still accepted the attitude of Jiesga, who had just been promoted and made a fortune.

As a big loser, to be treated like this by his mother's new love, it can be said that Jiesga has done everything he can.

The water was boiling and the dandelion tea was ready. Yun Chu picked up the wooden bowl and took a sip of the bitter tea. He felt that his whole body was relaxed and he felt indescribably happy.

After thirteen years in the Western Region, the two people he couldn't let go of most were Selema and Naha. Now, Selema has a new man, and Naha has returned to the arms of her biological father. Yunchu sincerely thanks Jies Karma.

Narrowing his eyes and looking at the maroon horse tied to the pillar, Yun Chu couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, he even felt that God's arrangements were really very considerate sometimes.

From this moment on, I can finally return to my hometown and visit the Tang Dynasty, which is like a paradise among the herdsmen.
