The cold wind blows outside the yurt, but it is very warm inside the yurt. Teng Qingshan drank hot milk tea, ate a large piece of mutton, and a large bowl of hand-mixed fried noodles.
Although the dishes are not as exquisite as those on the land of Kyushu, they are still comfortable to eat.
"Brother!" A young man in a gray leather robe walked into the yurt.
Cha Bu, who was chatting with Teng Qingshan, was happy, but when he saw this person coming in, his face darkened: "You come, what's the matter?"
"Tsk tsk." The young man glanced at Teng Qingshan, and couldn't help but frowned when he saw the ragged cotton jacket on Teng Qingshan's body, but he still said with a smile, "Brother, my life is very tight. I lost a few of them, and I don't know who stole them. These days are sad!"
Chubu frowned: "What's the matter, tell me!"
"Brother is more refreshing!" The young man laughed and said, "Brother, please borrow some money. When I sell the cattle and sheep, I will definitely pay you back."
"Hmph, pay it back? I haven't paid back what I owed last time." The child whispered dissatisfied.
The woman who was eating next to him immediately grabbed the child and glared at him at the same time. "I'm telling the truth!" the child muttered, but didn't dare to say any more. And the young man didn't care at all, just looked at Chabu with a smile on his face.
With a sullen face, Chabu touched from his bosom, and took out a piece of broken silver, which was about half a tael, and threw it over.
"Thank you, brother, I will definitely pay back the money, I will definitely pay it back!" The young man was overjoyed and said repeatedly.
Chabu said with a sullen face, "Hmph, don't thank me! Dad didn't ask me to take care of you, I kicked you out a long time ago! Remember, go practice sword skills with Brother Silan and the others! Don't be lazy all day long!" At this moment, the young people opened the door cloth, and walked out with their mouths open!
"Father, where does he keep the sheep? I saw a few days ago that he slaughtered and ate a lamb!" the child said unwillingly.
Chubu glared at his son: "Gilan, remember, that's your uncle!"
"Gilan is not such a useless uncle!" the child raised his head and said.
Teng Qingshan can only bury his head in eating, and it is not easy for him to intervene in this kind of housework. No matter which village there are lazy people, for this kind of people, ordinary villas or tribes will marginalize them.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
There was a fierce impact outside, Teng Qingshan's ears moved, and he couldn't help asking in surprise: "Brother Chabu, what's going on outside?"
Before Chubu could speak, his son rushed to say: "It's the men of our tribe who are competing! It must be Uncle Silan and the others. They practice swords very hard every day. Uncle Silan and the others are very good. Awesome! I also learned sword skills from Uncle Slan!"
"Oh?" Teng Qingshan put down the milk tea cup and got up with a smile, "Brother Chabu, I'm full too, thank you for your hospitality!" He said, putting two taels of silver on the table.
That Chabulian picked up the two taels of silver, and stuffed it back to Teng Qingshan: "Brother Huhe! This is just a casual lunch for me, it's not worth much. These two taels of silver are too much! I can't accept it! " Chabu wanted to push it to Teng Qingshan, but Teng Qingshan stretched out his right hand to block Chabu, so Chabu couldn't get close!
"It's a lot of strength!" Chu Bu was secretly surprised.
"Two liang of silver is nothing to me!" Teng Qingshan laughed, "Brother Chabu, if you think highly of me, please accept it."
Chu Bu was startled, but couldn't help but smile. If the other party said this, if he didn't accept it, he would look down on the other party.
"Okay, I'll accept it." Chubu immediately said, "Brother Huhe, aren't you curious about the competition outside? Let's go and have a look together."
"Go." Teng Qingshan nodded with a smile.
"I want to go too!" The prairie boy got up.
"Haha, let's go together." Teng Qingshan smiled and took the child's hand and walked out of the tent. And that strong man 'Chabu', followed the direction of the sound and walked northeast.
As he got deeper into the whole tribe, Teng Qingshan knew the Qilian tribe well: "The whole tribe only has over a hundred tents! There are big tents and small tents. But guess...the population of the whole tribe should be less than one Thousands. It’s a small tribe.”
At this time Teng Qingshan had already seen two people who were competing with each other on the grass in front of them, one of them was tall and strong, while the other was as thin as a wild wolf. The knives used by the two are machetes that are common on the grasslands.
call! call!
The two dodged nimbly and kept passing by each other. From time to time, he will give the other party a sharp knife! Don't hold back at all.
"drink!"
"ha!"
Both of them had hot faces on their faces, staring at their opponents.
"This method is good, use a wooden knife! And the wooden knife is wrapped with sheepskin. Even if you chop hard, at most people will be injured." Teng Qingshan nodded secretly.
Chabu next to him said with a smile: "Brother Huhe, how strong are the heroes of our tribe? The thinner one is the number one hero of our tribe, 'Slan'. He has killed more than ten horse thieves, but he has nothing to do with himself. What's more, even the women of the 'Wanshi Tribe' are willing to marry the Silan brothers." Chabu's face was full of pride and pride.
"Not bad, very powerful." Teng Qingshan praised with great face, "Your saber technique also has internal strength, where did you learn it?" Teng Qingshan could tell at a glance that both of them had learned internal strength. Otherwise, each other's figures would not be so fast.
On the land of Kyushu, many civilians have no chance to learn inner strength! But this Qilian tribe, a small low-level tribe, unexpectedly fought against both of them are masters of inner strength. Teng Qingshan was surprised: "A few times before I went to those tribes to beg for a meal, I always left after eating, and I didn't pay attention to whether they had practiced their inner strength!"
"Inner strength? Sword skills?" Chabu laughed. "On the prairie, all the tribes in the north can learn inner strength and sword skills! The central and southernmost tribes can't learn it."
Teng Qingshan looked at Chu Bu in surprise.
"These saber techniques and internal energy are all given to each of our tribes by the envoys from Tianshen Mountain!" Chabu looked very respectful, "The envoys from Tianshen Mountain gave us hope! And they also said that if we can raise If you lift five thousand catties of boulders, you can enter Tianshen Mountain and live in Tianshen Mountain!"
Teng Qingshan was shocked when he heard this!
Five thousand catties boulder
Even on the land of Kyushu, a warrior who can lift a boulder of 2,000 jin is considered a second-rate warrior, and a warrior who can lift a boulder of 10,000 jin is a first-rate warrior! Being able to lift five thousand catties is considered extremely powerful among second-rate warriors. Such as Gui Yuanzong's Black Armor Army, the general corps leader has such strength.
"This Tianshen Mountain dares to hand over all the secrets of inner strength and sword techniques to all the surrounding tribes. I don't worry about the spread of the secrets and the surrounding forces that can overthrow it! This courage is amazing!" Teng Qingshan secretly said, at the Kyushu University On the ground, no matter which sect will spread the inner strength cheats for no reason.
green grass.
The two heroes in the tribe finally decided the outcome.
"Slan, I admit defeat!" The tall man was pressed to the ground by his opponent's knees on his back.
"Uncle Silan is the best!" The child beside Teng Qingshan shouted excitedly.
Teng Qingshan touched the child's head with a smile, and then smiled at Chubu: "Brother Chubu, I still have things to do. Let's go first!"
"Leaving in such a hurry?" Chabrien asked.
Just as Teng Qingshan was about to speak, his expression changed, and he turned to look south. With his six senses, he could tell that there were waves of tremors in the south. It should be the vibration produced by a large number of horseshoes.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
"There are horse thieves! Horse thieves!!!" A sharp shout suddenly tore through the tranquility of the entire tribe.
The sweaty Silan's expression changed, and he hissed violently: "The old man and the children all go to the felt tent. Men, follow me!"
The men rushed forward, and the women followed, all with crazy expressions on their faces.
"Jilan, go to the yurt." Na Chabu pushed his son and rushed over with strides. Now he has no time to greet Teng Qingshan at all.
Teng Qingshan also followed the crowd and ran towards the front.
"It's the Department of the Storm!"
"The wind!"
"It's a strong wind!"
Shouts of terror came from the southernmost point, and the screams of terror were like sledgehammers hitting the hearts of all the tribe. The tribal men and women who were crazy about tearing the enemy apart, their complexions changed drastically, and they even retracted the scimitar they raised.
"Huh? What's going on?" Teng Qingshan quickly came to the front, and Teng Qingshan took a look.
At the front of the Qilian tribe crowd, a large group of knights all wearing silver-gray armor were standing there. The patriarch of the tribe had already run to the front.
"Respected Lord of the Gale Department." The silver-haired old man in a thick robe bowed.
The leader of the knights on the horse, looked at the patriarch through the cold mask: "Qilian tribe! One year has passed. There are more than 800 people in your tribe, and each person is three taels of silver. Fractions are not counted, you need to pay Two thousand four hundred taels of silver!"
"Three taels of silver?" Teng Qingshan was taken aback.
Even in the affluent Yangzhou, the annual salary of the White Horse Gang is only half a tael per person. The grassland tribes are much poorer than the land of Kyushu. For example, if there are four members in a family, the family will have to pay twelve taels of silver! In grassland tribes, like this low-level tribe, it is difficult for a family to earn twelve taels a year!
"It's not enough to pay money without eating or drinking. Is this forcing people to death?" Teng Qingshan's face changed drastically. I'm so frightened. I don't blame them!" Teng Qingshan saw it at a glance.
The team of horse thieves in front of them are all wearing silver-gray battle armor, and the horses are also high-quality war horses. On the land of Kyushu, such as the "White Horse Camp" of the White Horse Gang can barely compare.
"My lord!" The patriarch knelt down and begged, "My lord, please give us half a year for the Qilian tribe. We will definitely make it up. Right now, we really don't have that much money!"
"Without money, you won't rob other tribes?" The leader of the horse sneered, "On the prairie, useless tribes like yours have no right to exist. Since you can't pay money...then the old rules !"
Everyone in the Qilian tribe changed their expressions drastically.
"Forgive me."
"My lord, forgive me." Many people knelt down.
Teng Qingshan didn't feel good when he heard it, the other party said the old rules, what kind of rules? Chabu, who was not far from Teng Qingshan, also turned pale with horror, and also knelt and begged.
"Brothers, let's start!" The tribal leader looked coldly.
"Aw~~"
All the knights howled like mad wolves, and raised their scimitars high. Teng Qingshan somewhat understood what the opponent's old rules were!
"Have you not resisted by this time?" Teng Qingshan was very puzzled in his heart. At the moment of death, death should be fought. He looked at Chabu, who was kneeling: "No, no—"
"After a meal, let me help you once."
Teng Qingshan's cold eyes swept towards the group of knights who were arrogant like a pack of wolves and wanted to devour the tribe.
