Datang romantic little landlord

Ah Di ate so much that his mouth was full of oil, his stomach was so distended that he didn't want to move, he collapsed beside Li Wangyou, and said excitedly: "Li Wangyou, I finally understand why those damned salt are sold so much. Expensive!"

He returned to his chatterbox nature, and started rambling non-stop: "Li Wangyou, we can still produce more salt, right? Our tribe will have an endless supply of salt that can be sold in the future. Haha, our Huerte tribe will be the richest and most powerful tribe on the grassland in the future! Li Wangyou, I really don’t know how to thank you, but I swear to the gods, you will always be the Huerte tribe Most distinguished guest! No matter what you need from now on, our Huerte tribe will never frown!"

Ah Duo's words warmed Li Wangyou's heart.

He knew that these prairie men, like the Guanzhong men, were nailed down with one mouthful, and they would never go back on their word.

During this period of time, he stayed in the Huerte tribe to recuperate from his wounds, and only then did he know that Ah Tuo was actually the son of the leader of Xijie.

It's just that the Tiele people don't have the custom of getting married, so Ah Tiao didn't ask Xi to marry him as his father.

But Ah Dian is recognized as the next leader of the Huerte tribe, so things including going out to purchase supplies and dealing with other tribes are all handled by Ah Dian.

It is precisely because of this that Ah Dian learned Chinese from the Datang caravan selling goods in the grassland.

So what Ah Tuo said just now, to a certain extent, also represented the will of the leader of Xijie and the Huerte tribe.

Li Wangyou patted Ah Diao on the shoulder very gratefully, although he didn't feel that he needed the reward from the Hult tribe.

Boiling salt was a great success, which made the Huerte tribe even more convinced by Li Wangyou's words.

Li Wangyou also planned to teach Ah Dian how to dry salt before he left.

Ah Duo led the young and strong men in the tribe, and they all ran to the saltwater lake with Li Wangyou.

They still have a lot of work to do if they want to dry the salt.

Because there is no lime on the grassland, Li Wangyou can't make volcanic ash to replace cement, so to dry salt on the grassland, you need to move stones and build evaporation ponds and crystallization ponds for salt drying. This is not a small project. .

During this time, Li Wangyou, Ah Tuo and the others moved their tents to the edge of the saltwater lake, where they lived and ate.

Li Wangyou has basically recovered from his injuries now, and he is also a little anxious to go home, so he can only urge Ah Zui and the others to complete the project as soon as possible.

After he taught Ah Tiao and the others how to dry salt, Li Wangyou was going to try to contact the official personnel of the Xue Yantuo Khanate and ask them to escort him back to Datang.

When Li Wangyou led Ah Tuo and the others to be busy by the saltwater lake, the Huerte tribe also became busy.

The women in the tribe are busy packing sheepskins, cowhide, etc., and transporting them to the tribe's carriage.

The nearest grassland market is about to start. According to the usual practice, the Huerte tribe will set off to sell goods in the market in exchange for various necessary living materials.

Originally, when he participated in the market, it was Ah Dian who brought people there.But now that Ah Dian is busy by the saltwater lake, the leader of Xijie is going to make a trip himself to the market to complete the transaction.

The last time Li Wangyou boiled salt, he produced a total of seven or eight catties of table salt.The leader of Xijie is also going to take all of them, and plans to test whether the salt produced by his tribe is marketable.

After everything was ready, the leader of Xijie led the people and drove the carriage to participate in the market more than 200 miles away.

But no one expected that his visit would bring disaster to the Huerte tribe...

1021 Hell on Earth

Li Wangyou and Ah Duo, leading hundreds of young men from the Huerte tribe, have been busy by the saltwater lake for nearly a week.Next to the saltwater lake, the evaporation pool and crystallization pool for drying salt are built with stones, and they have begun to take shape.

It is not easy to build these two small salt drying ponds.

The young and strong men who needed Huerte rode horses every day to the Gobi Desert dozens of miles away, looking for stones of suitable size to carry, and then transported them back by horses.

After a certain amount of grinding and cutting, they are stitched together seamlessly.

The work was very hard, but none of the men of the Huerte tribe, including Ah Tuo, the future leader of the tribe, complained.

No matter how much sweat they sweat, these Tiele people always have smiles on their faces.

Every time it's time for a break, Ah Tiao, a chatterbox, will pester Li Wangyou, chatting endlessly about his longing for a better future.

"Li Wangyou, how do you think we should sell our salt? How about a bucket of salt for a sheep? Haha, those damn profiteers will definitely be pissed off!"

"Da Lang, there will be as many sheep in your tribe as there are clouds in the sky, haha." Li Wangyou also hoped that the simple Huerte tribe would have a better life, and laughed and patted Ah Tiao on the shoulder.

Ah Tuo also laughed, and when he was about to say something more, he saw a fast horse galloping across the grassland.

Li Wangyou, a middle-aged Tie Le man on horseback, looked familiar. He should be a member of the Huerte tribe.But the appearance of being covered in blood at this time startled Li Wangyou.

The person who rushed to report the news in blood, before he rushed in front of Ah Tuo, he tilted his body and fell off his horse.

Only then did Li Wangyou notice that the person who came was covered with bloody incisions, and the blood had already stained the clothes of the middle-aged Tie Le and the horse he was sitting on.

Ah Dian and others rushed forward, hugged the visitor and prepared to rescue him.But the visitor only had time to say a few words to Ah Tuo and the others before he lost his breath because of the serious injury.

Li Wangyou couldn't understand Tie Le's language, so he didn't know what the visitor said, but the reaction of Ah Tuo and others surprised him again.

But after hearing what the visitor said, all the Tiele people, including Ah Tuan, showed grief and anger.

With a roar, Ah Tu pulled out the knife from his waist and yelled at the Tiele people.All the Tiele people's eyes became bloodshot, and after a whistle called their mounts, they immediately got on their horses and rushed out.

Li Wangyou hurriedly yelled at Ah Duo: "Da Lang, what happened?"

"Our tribe was attacked, and the casualties were heavy!" After Ah Duo dropped these words, he didn't care about Li Wangyou, so he gritted his teeth and led a group of young men from the tribe, and galloped towards the direction of the tribe. go back.

Li Wangyou couldn't help but change his expression when he heard the words. After being stunned for a few seconds, he quickly ran towards his sand boat, raised the sails, and chased Ah Tuo and the others.

In order to build a sun-drying pond next to the saltwater lake, Ah Dian took away almost all the young and strong in the tribe.

Today, almost all the people staying in the Huerte tribe's camp are women, children, old and young. How can they protect themselves when they are attacked at this time?

Even Li Wangyou couldn't help trembling for such a terrible consequence, he couldn't imagine it.

But according to his understanding during this period, although the Huerte tribe is a small tribe, there is no threat within a radius of two or three hundred miles.

Although the Xue Yantuo Khanate is a loose grassland khanate, since the Eastern Turks were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, Xue Yantuo has been thriving under the rule of the leader Yinan Khan.

Although the various tribes of the Tiele people are not rich, and even need to pay heavy taxes to the Khanate to allow the young and strong of the tribes to join the army of the Khanate, at least the tribes of the Tiele people are absolutely not allowed to kill each other.

Now in the sixth year of Zhenguan, the Xueyantuo Khanate has 20 elite soldiers, which can be regarded as the heyday of the Xueyantuo Khanate.

Under such circumstances, how could the Hult tribe be attacked?

Who would have the guts to attack the Tiele tribe on the grassland?Aren't you afraid of revenge from Xue Yantuo Khanate?

Could it be those sand robbers in the desert who followed them all the way?

Li Wangyou shook his head, feeling that this was impossible.

No matter how fierce the sand bandits are, they are only making waves by relying on the desert environment.It is not daring to let them leave the desert and enter the grassland to attack the tribes, lending their courage.

Li Wangyou couldn't think of a reason, so he didn't bother to think about it, so he could only concentrate on driving the sand boat, and caught up with Ah Tuo and the others.

In fact, he also knew that he was powerless, so even if he followed Ah Tuo and the others back, it might not be of much help, and it might even be a burden.But the Huerte tribe saved his life, so how could he turn a blind eye to such a critical moment.
