In more than ten years of his life, this is the first time that Young Master Liu has experienced the beautiful scenery of the Turkic grasslands.
In the twenty-seventh year of Xuande's reign, Liu Dashao was sent as an envoy to the Jin Kingdom to discuss border trade with the Turkic grasslands. Due to the rebellion of the kings of the Jin Kingdom, the plan to send an envoy to the Turks was shelved.
Although a document on border trade was signed with the Huyan Royal Court, which was gradually growing in strength, this document was signed in the Kingdom of Jin.
Liu Mingzhi has never really set foot on the grassland border.
In the past ten years or so, Liu Mingzhi had been on an envoy to the Jin Kingdom and conquered the Western Regions, but he had never experienced what the Turkic grasslands looked like.
One person, one horse and one sword left the capital, stopping and walking on the road, wandering around for nearly two months.
To this day, Young Master Liu left Yunzhou alone with his sword and horse, and reached the southern grassland under the jurisdiction of the Huyan Royal Court.
Looking at the lush green grassland, Young Master Liu couldn't help but feel a little relaxed and happy.
The air, the environment, all these are charming scenery that will never be seen in future generations.
"The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep can be seen low."
Young Master Liu stole a poem and recited it, gently stroking the winding horse's mane, "Good brother, this is the place where you can gallop."
"The territory of the dragon is finally a little narrower."
"Perhaps this is the only place where you can run wildly against the wind."
"The grassland is a gift from God to the Turks, but the horses are the darlings of the grassland."
Feeling Feng Xing's restless breathing, Young Master Liu turned over and dismounted, gently patting Feng Xing's horse's back.
"Good brother, let's go on a crazy attack!"
A good horse understands human nature, and seems to have understood its master's thoughts. Fengxing neighed, and Gao Yang's horse galloped away.
The horse's mane fluttered in the breeze above the grassland.
Young Master Liu took off the wine gourd from his waist and shook it a few times, with a look of regret on his brows.
"If I had known, this young master would have filled the wine shop in Yunzhou with drinks."
There was no drop of wine left in the wine gourd. Young Master Liu looked around. The sparkling river a few dozen steps away made Young Master Liu's eyes light up. He ran over with the wine gourd in hand.
Between two months.
Dalong's Duke Dingguo has long since disappeared, and there is now a wanderer who is at home in all corners of the world.
Eat wherever you go, sleep wherever you go.
Many small-scale bandits in Dalong's territory were brutally punished. Any bandit who had killed passing merchants was hated by the local people and the government soldiers encircled and suppressed them several times but failed to achieve anything. All the bandits had their throats slit with a sharp sword.
Young Master Liu pressed the wine gourd into the water, filled it with clear river water, took a handful of the river water with his hands, and drank.
As for whether the river is polluted, Mr. Liu doesn't need to worry at all.
The Turks protect the river far better than the Dalong people. After all, they rarely dig wells and rely entirely on God's providence for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
River water is as important to the Turks as war horses.
"Haha good water!"
Young Master Liu looked around at the empty grassland, smiled, took off his clothes and jumped directly into the shallow but not deep river.
When you go out, you don't have maids dressed up and bathing like you do at home. If you don't take a dip in such a clear river, you'd be sorry for the dust on your body.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of galloping horses startled Mr. Liu, who hurriedly swam towards the river.
This is the territory of the Turks, and there is no room for any carelessness on their part.
Young Master Liu had not yet swam to the river bank. Dozens of war horses stopped by the river. Most of the war horses were Turkic women aged 17 or 18, and the oldest was no more than 25 years old. They got off their horses with water bags and said something about Turks.
He smiled boldly and rushed towards the river.
It seems that nearby tribes came to collect water from the river.
Young Master Liu hurriedly hid in the river, not wanting to come out or not coming out.
The water in the river is extremely clear and there is no place to hide.
Unsurprisingly, Young Master Liu was discovered. Dozens of Turkic women holding water bags looked at Young Master Liu in surprise and caution, with only his head above the river.
There was no trace of shyness about Mr. Liu's naked appearance.
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Mr. Liu intently.
Young Master Liu looked at these Turkic women with some embarrassment. He wanted to say hello but found that he didn't know any Turkic language at all.
After a while, dozens of Turkic women were communicating in Turkic dialect, and they reached out and pointed at Young Master Liu.
"Looking at the way this man is dressed, he should be a Han Chinese from Dalong!"
"That's right, look at the clothes in the distance. They should be Dalong's knights who travel all over the world. How did they come to the area of our Zhuoma tribe?"
"Sister Zhuomayi, what do you think we should do? Isn't this person a spy of Dalong?"
Among the dozens of women, the oldest woman with a prairie-red face glared at the seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl next to her.
"Have you ever seen a few spies bathe in the river naked without paying any attention to the information?"
"It's just that this person's identity must be a bit weird, but at least we can guess that this person is a bold and talented person. Otherwise, how could he dare to go out of the border alone and come to the territory of Huyan Royal Court to take a bath."
"Then what should we do? Should we send someone to report to the Great Khan of Taichang?"
"Wait, don't worry, let's see if we can figure out this person's identity first!"
Young Master Liu looked blankly at a group of Turkic women chatting with each other. He was completely confused by what they were saying.
I wanted to put on my clothes, but dozens of women were watching me eagerly. The clothes were by the river and I had no chance to put them on.
Although I was shameless, I really didn't have the courage to walk out of the river to get dressed in front of dozens of strange Turkic women.
Who knows if there are any weird rules in the Turkic grassland? After seeing a man's body, you can either ask the man to marry you or kill the man.
If there really was such a weird rule, dozens of women saw him in front of him.
For me, wouldn’t it make my already weak body even worse?
"I'm in Liushu. I've met all of you sisters. I wonder if any of you understand Chinese?"
Hearing Young Master Liu take the initiative to speak, dozens of women looked at each other, and the oldest Zhuomai came out.
"Who are you? Why do you appear in the river belonging to our Dolma tribe?"
Young Master Liu looked at Zhuo Mayi in surprise, never expecting that there was a woman who actually understood Chinese.
"In Xia Liushu, Dalong, a man from all over the world, came to the grassland to find an old friend from the past. He passed by a treasure land and saw such a clean river. He came down to take a bath!"
"Don't worry, the river flows very fast. As long as you draw water from the upper reaches, there won't be any pollution!"
Zhuolmayi stared at Young Master Liu for a while and murmured Young Master Liu's name twice.
"You come out and put on your clothes first!"
"It's okay to wear clothes. Can you take your sisters to avoid this girl?"
Zhuomayi glanced at Young Master Liu with a strange expression, and talked to the sisters around him in Turkic dialect.
After a moment, dozens of women pointed at Young Master Liu and murmured and snickered.
Young Master Liu looked at Zhuomayi blankly, "Girl, what are they talking about? Why are they laughing?"
Zhuolmayi gently slapped the palms of her hands with her riding crop and nuzzled her mouth toward the river.
"They said they had seen everything."
"You said you have a decent amount of money, and I want you to be a man and give birth to a strong warrior!"
Young Master Liu was startled and subconsciously looked down at the river. Mu Ran curled up with a blush on his face.
