Early the next morning, You Miao took Li Zhifeng out of the city, sleepy, seeing that Batu was already waiting.
"Fang Sheng, why are you sleepy every day?" Batu asked with a smile.
You Miao hadn't slept well for two consecutive nights, and couldn't say anything, she could only say, "I'm here for the first time, I'm not used to it."
Batu said: "The queen mother said, you can't be lazy, you have to exercise."
You Miao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right."
As soon as You Miao got on his horse, Batu was a little surprised. He looked at You Miao and said, "You can ride a horse? I still want someone to take you."
You Miao groaned in the bottom of her heart. The secret passage really capsized in the gutter, and she was actually exposed on the horse. She had to bite the bullet and explain: "When I was in the south, I liked horse riding very much. There is a villa at home."
Batu nodded knowingly and said, "The journey is long, so if you're tired, just say, let's go!"
Batu shouted a Tatar, and the two hundred horses rushed towards the vast tundra like arrows from the string.
The weather has warmed up in the past few days, and the ice and snow have gradually melted away. Da'an used to be called "South of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall". The terrain and environment are unique. Surrounded by White Wolf Mountain, Wu Mountain and Ma'an Mountain, the cold current was changed to two strands after arriving here, and went south along Languan and Qinling Mountains.
As long as it doesn't encounter too much snow, there is always a good climate near Da'an in winter, where the snow is not yet snowed, and the weather is not yet melted. Refreshing.
From Da'an to the Bailang Mountain in the southeast, there is a full 400-mile road. You Miao has not participated in the rapid march for many years. Gradually, the bumps became unbearable, so Li Zhifeng had to ride with him. Rao is so, and it took a whole day to reach the foot of the White Wolf Mountain.
When the guards set up camp at night, preparing to enter the mountain the next day, Khan went out for a patrol and brought a full two hundred guards.
You Miao showed Batu a barbecue with a smile. He used a hand grinder to grind the green tea leaves into a fine powder, like pepper, and sprinkled it on the barbecue. Overflowing, Batu was taken aback.
"Is this what you southerners do?" Batu asked.
"No." You Miao explained, "I figured it out myself."
When You Miao stayed in the villa and had nothing to do, she liked to follow the pictures on the ink scriptures to make some miniature small organs, and novel gadgets appeared one after another. This grinder can be taken with you, grinding rice, noodles, wheat, pepper and even tea. Hundreds of years ago, the people of the Central Plains liked to pound tea into powder and eat it with milk, sugar and salt. You Miao occasionally tasted this retro way of drinking tea and improved it.
"Not bad, not bad." Batu admired You Miao so much that You Miao gave Batu the hand-cranked grinder. Batu gradually regarded You Miao as a good friend, and he asked to sleep with him at night. He was interrupted by Nie Dan halfway through last night. You Miao wanted to continue tonight, but Batu held him back, so he had to enter the king's tent.
That night, there were wolves howling one after another. Batu lay down and talked to You Miao endlessly. You Miao hadn't slept well for two days in a row, and he was already too sleepy. In response.
"...What do the people in the south say about me?" Batu said, and couldn't help but ask You Miao what the people in the south thought of him.
You Miao was in a daze, thinking that when he was in the south, he had a drink with Zhao Chao, and when he went to the north, he slept in the same bed with the Tartar Khan. Life is really full of wonders.
"Should..." You Miao thought for a while, then said in his sleep, "I said very little, but General He Motie'er... but a lot..."
"Oh?" Batu asked, "what about him?"
You Miao couldn't take it any longer, so she froze.
As the night passed, the howling of wolves came one after another, but it seemed to be hypnotizing. You Miao only remembered that the sky was getting bright soon. He slept with pain all over his body, rubbed his eyes, and found that his feet were on Batu's chest, and Batu was still snoring.
You Miao was startled, and quickly retracted her feet. Batu also woke up, rubbed his eyes and got up. Someone came in to wait on him from outside. Li Zhifeng combed You Miao's hair, and the guards braided Batu's hair.
Batu smiled and said, "You haven't answered me yet, Fang Sheng'er."
Batu called You Miao's name in Tatar, somewhat in a tone of teasing among the young men of the clan. He translated it in unfluent Chinese and added the word "er". Ling Youmiao thought of the phrase "Fang Sheng'er of the same heart", and couldn't help but smile.
"Answer what?" You Miao asked curiously.
"He Motieer..." Batu reminded with a smile.
You Miao immediately broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that she was too sleepy and said something she shouldn't have said last night, so she hurriedly winked at Batu. nice.
You Miao was worried and didn't dare to say more. The guard brought the food in, and Batu said, "Let's eat outside."
So everyone went outside the tent with food.
Batu didn't say a word, and thoughtfully, after breakfast, everyone packed up and went on the road into the mountains. Along the way, Batu and You Miao were at odds with each other, Li Zhifeng glanced at You Miao with an inquiring look, You Miao signaled that he was at ease, urged him to catch up, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty."
Batu glanced at Youmiao, then resumed his smile and said, "Just call me Batumo."
When You Miao heard this, she was a little flattered, but then she thought that Batu should have grown up alone and was strictly controlled by her mother, and she didn't have many friends by her side. If he was still a playboy back then, if he wanted to meet a friend who could play, play, eat and drink, he would probably like it very much.
But why Batu has no friends of the same age as Tatar is also a signal that cannot be ignored. You Miao vaguely felt that Empress Dowager Baoyin was a pro-Southern pro-Han faction. She will teach Batu to understand the culture of the Central Plains and learn the language of the Han people. This time Batu made friends with him, maybe it was the inspiration of the Queen Mother Baoyin.
You Miao sighed and forced a smile: "You can call it that in private, but after all, Your Majesty is His Majesty, and the people under your command are all looking at His Majesty."
Batu nodded sadly and said: "You and the teacher said the same, Your Majesty must look like His Majesty."
You Miao said with a smile: "But in private, I prefer to regard you as Batumo."
Batu laughed, raised his whip, and shouted, "Drive!"
Batu rushed into the valley, and You Miao felt nervous at the moment, and rushed to chase after him. Li Zhifeng also caught up, and the two cavalry chased Batu, for fear of danger.
