Brother Richard would definitely not just believe what the Shi brothers and sisters said. He asked people to take the Shi Jialuluo and Shi Jialing brothers to a tent and keep them under guard.
At the same time, they also asked people to interrogate Uncle Lai, Shi Shami, the attendant and the maid, respectively, to corroborate their confessions.
Brother Richard asked people to continue to monitor them separately, and then continued to deal with military and political matters.
A few days later, a quick horse brought the two of them, and after a brief briefing, they were taken to the big tent to meet Brother Richard.
"Tell me your two names and identities." Brother Richard looked at the two of them and said calmly.
The elder of the two is in his early forties, not tall, of medium build, and has particularly lively eyes.
The other one is also in his thirties, stout and strong, and looks very similar to the former, but his face is darker.
"Reporting to your noble lord, my name is Shizhiguo, and my Uighur name is Xiatiti Doluozha. I am the leader of the Shifo Renhui Paramita Tribe on the Puleihai grassland to the north of Yinzhou."
The elder said.
"This is my younger brother, his name is Shi Duowen, and his Uyghur name is Xiadu Bishamon."
"You have a son and a daughter?"
"Yes." Shi Chiguo answered carefully while speculating in his mind.
"What's your name?"
"The eldest son's name is Shijialuluo. He originally became a monk in the great Buddhist temple in Nazhi City to the west of Yinzhou City. The third daughter's name is Shijialing. She originally went to visit her brother and stayed in Nazhi City for a few days."
"At that time, rumors were spreading all over Yinzhou City. The young man did not know the power of heaven and his destiny. He was so frightened that he had no time to wait for his brother and sister to come back, so he led his tribe to move westward. He left a wooden sign as a letter for them to catch up."
Brother Richard stared at Shi Chiguo, wondering what he was thinking.
"You're going to leave your children alone like this?"
"Your Majesty, I am not only their father, but also the leader of the Paramita Tribe of Two Thousand Tents of Stone Buddhas." Shizhiguo replied.
Brother Richard was silent and asked again after waiting for a while.
"Do you have any news about his siblings later?"
Shi Zhiguo's eyes were red, and he felt sad.
"We surrendered to the Song Dynasty forty miles north of Luntai City. Later we were moved to Bali, Yangji. No, it should be resettled by the Heishui River west of Suilai City. The little trustee asked around, but they were never found.
There is news. The war is in chaos, and I don’t know whether they are safe or not.”
Having said this, Shi Chiguo couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and wipe the tears from his eyes.
Shi Duowen, who was behind him, lowered his head and sobbed softly.
Brother Richard signaled to his followers and asked them to bring the people in.
The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and Shi Chiguo, who heard the movement, couldn't help but look back. When he saw the two people coming in, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought they were in a dream.
Seeing that the visitor was getting closer and closer, he did not look like a ghost. Shi Zhiguo said in a trembling voice: "My two birds, I finally see you."
After saying that, he rushed forward, hugged the two of them, and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry. I'm not a good father."
Shi Duowen stood aside, surprised and happy, wiping tears constantly.
Brother Richard didn't say anything, letting the whole family cry and laugh, recounting the various events after their separation. He sat there, processing the official documents in his hands.
After a while, Shi Jialing was the first to react. He pushed his excited father, uncle and brother, and pointed at Brother Richard who was sitting in the distance.
Only a few people suddenly realized that they were in someone else's tent and seemed to be someone else's prisoner.
When he heard the sound stop, Brother Richard raised his head and asked, "It's all over."
The Shi family did not speak, lowered their heads, held their breath, and waited for what was to come.
"You guys stay here first. I will ask someone to allocate a few tents to your family. However, you are still not allowed to move around freely and must continue to be supervised." After Brother Richard finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal them to leave.
The family gathered in a tent and talked endlessly.
As he talked, Shi Chiguo found that his daughter, who had always talked a lot and was very active before, had become somewhat silent and less talkative.
He quietly pulled his son and nuzzled his mouth in the direction of Shijialing.
"What's wrong with Third Sister?"
"Dad, I think Third Sister and Brother Richard are the bastards who have fallen in love with each other!"
Shichiguo slapped Shijialuluo hard, "What did you say about your sister?"
After finishing speaking, he hesitated for a moment and started mumbling in a low voice.
"Brother Richard, although he has fallen into despair, he is now revived. I heard that he was a favorite general of the Song Dynasty officials and a pioneer in the Song Dynasty's strategy of the Western Regions. I also heard that in the battle of Shandanling, he took the lead and led the assault.
The elite cavalry rushed straight into the Eastern Kara Khanate's formation and chased Ahmad Khan for sixty miles, achieving the first victory. Then they were the first to rush into Balashagon and occupy the eastern Kara Khanate.
court."
"If he becomes my son-in-law, he will be fine, but he is a little older. I heard he is in his thirties, but he looks older than me."
Shijialuluo struck at the side and said: "Dad, stop daydreaming here. He was once the crown prince of Xixia, His Highness the King of Jin. Now he is the commander of the capital of 20,000 to 30,000 elite cavalry. He is more than thirty years old, I'm afraid.
I have been married a long time ago, and I am afraid that my children will be older than the third sister."
Shi Chiguo turned around and looked at his son Shigaruluo fiercely, gnashing his teeth and wishing he could eat him alive.
A few days later, Brother Richard invited Shi Chiguo's family to the big tent.
"You have passed the review of the former military and political bureau. Starting today, you will be released from supervision and can move around. Friendly advice, don't move around at will. If you accidentally involve military secrets, you will be supervised and reviewed again."
As soon as Brother Richard finished his words, Shi Chiguo stood up quickly and said sincerely: "Can my son, Shijialuluo, join your army? My son, Cavalry Master Zhan, once held a cavalry shooting competition in the Khan Court of Gaochang.
He won the championship in the competition. And I equipped him with five hundred cavalry, all of whom are well-trained and excellent warriors with their own horses and armor."
Shichichiguo was very alert and sensed the general trend, so he immediately placed a heavy bet - Shigaruda was his legitimate son and the future leader of the tribe. Five hundred self-prepared horses and armor, well-trained cavalry, almost stone
The whole backbone of the Buddhist department is gone.
Putting everything on the line is a bit of a gamble. But he should clearly calculate the odds of winning in his mind.
"Yes, as the commander of the Cavalry Army, I will accept them as a volunteer detachment. Later, the military headquarters will arrange officers, including staff officers and Yuhou, to help you with reorganization and training..."
Brother Richard agreed wholeheartedly. This is a good thing. The Song Army needs some auxiliary troops such as volunteers. I heard that when they pacified the Northeast and attacked and destroyed the Liao Kingdom, they recruited and trained many Northeastern tribes as volunteers and made full use of their familiarity.
Geography, bravery and fighting skills, and other characteristics, he has made considerable military exploits.
Then after the war, they were organized into the backbone of Qinglong Banner.
On this day, Brother Richard took Shijialuluo and Shijialing and rode their horses to Balasagon City. The two brothers and sisters had always wanted to see one of the legendary capitals of the Kara Khanate in the Middle East, and today they fulfilled their wish.
But after watching it, the two of them were only disappointed.
"This city is not as big as Yinzhou City, how dare you call it Khan's Court?"
"A city does not depend on its size, but on who lives where. In the past, the Khan of the Eastern Kara Khanate was powerful in the Western Regions. He lived here, and hundreds of tribal leaders surrendered to him. Therefore, no matter how small Balashagon is, it belongs to the Western Regions.
center."
Brother Richard's voice was not loud, but he seemed extremely firm.
"For another example, wherever the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is, even if it is just a felt tent, it is the center of the world."
After finishing speaking, Brother Richard asked Shi Jialing: "Now can you guess where Ahmad Khan went?" This chapter has been completed!
