(Thank you very much for ‘Smoldering Pot’, ‘SeeSpencer’, ‘Weird Coffee ii’, ‘xmz123456’ Kangkang for their support and monthly ticket support.)

In fact, these businessmen are lunatics at all. They are not afraid of death, they urge their camels, and rush up crazily. However, their combat power is too weak, and they are basically ordinary people.

War is a killing field for life and death. When half of these businessmen died, three thousand horse thieves came behind Wang Junlin. Amidst Zhou Hu and other five hundred Sui troops’ crazy roars, Wang Junlin was drowned by three thousand horse thieves.

With Wang Junlin’s current strength, even in the face of five hundred horse thieves, he has a certain degree of confidence to escape, but in the face of three thousand horse thieves who are obviously extremely fierce, he has no chance at all. So when he killed more than a dozen horse thieves in one go, and found that these horse thieves did not want to kill him, but captured him alive, he gave up resistance without hesitation and let these people capture him, otherwise he would resist fiercely If the other party turned red-eyed and changed from capturing alive to beheading, he would die on the spot.

To his surprise, after capturing him, the three thousand horse thieves had no intention of helping those caravans at all, and led him galloping along the way they came. It seems that the more than 300 businessmen were deliberately left to be killed by the 500 Sui troops.

Zhou Hu had tried his best with five hundred Sui troops, but it took a quarter of an hour to kill all the merchants. The strange thing is that even if the last person died during this process, none of these people escaped, let alone begged for mercy and surrendered. Zhou Hu originally wanted to keep alive and torture some information, because they couldn’t see the horse thief and his general at this time. But the remaining survivors all committed suicide in the first place.

However, these people are just ordinary people and have no combat power. Therefore, in this battle, the Sui army was not damaged, and only seven soldiers were slightly injured. The remaining Sui army, led by Zhou Hu, followed the horse thief The route they left pursued, but they never saw the shadow of the horse thief again, and even at the end of the chase, there were fewer and fewer traces left by the horse thief.

When the three thousand horse thieves left the battlefield for three miles, they began to diverge, one by one, they left along the valleys or valleys on both sides, and in the end there were only five hundred people left. At this time, Wang Junlin, whose hands and feet were bound, found that the five hundred people were wearing black iron armor, and there was no other expression on their faces except indifference. Wang Junlin didn’t even hear them make any sound or say anything from the beginning to the end. .

Five hundred black-armored cavalry led Wang Junlin on horseback and rode for less than ten miles, and there was a carriage waiting. Wang Junlin and the little lynx were stuffed into the carriage. The cold wind in the western regions in the evening, but the interior of the carriage was warm. Ruchun, there were two charming and beautiful young girls who bowed to the ground. Yingying and Yanyan didn’t know what they were talking about. Before Wang Junlin could speak, they took off Wang Junlin’s boots and stuffed Wang Junlin’s cold feet. In his arms, the plump **** were deformed by the pressure of his feet, making Wang Junlin’s heart flutter even in this state.

At this time, Wang Junlin’s wrists and ankles were still tied.

“Beauty, my feet are almost warm, now warm my hands…” Wang Junlin knew that he would have difficulty escaping for a while, but he had no idea who the other party was or what he wanted to do . So he simply let go of it completely, and even used the title of flirting with women in later generations.

The two beautiful women giggled and crawled over, sandwiched him in the middle, and began to use their bodies as a quilt for him. The little lynx crawled on Wang Junlin’s belly and grinned at the two girls as a threat, but it was too small now, and the two girls were attracted by its cute appearance, and they stretched out their hands to tease it. There were bursts of laughter like silver bells, and the little lynx had no resistance.

The carriage turned around four hills and stopped after passing through a valley. A servant had already knelt and climbed beside the carriage as a low stool, waiting for the distinguished guest Wang Junlin to get off the carriage. At this time, the two girls had already untied him. The ropes on the wrists and ankles, Wang Junlin could not see the slightest anger on his face at this time, instead he got out of the carriage with a smile on his face. Without hesitation, he stepped on the servant’s back and got out of the car.

However, the next moment, when he saw the scene in his eyes clearly, he was dumbfounded.

He saw a city, a camel city made of camels. Thousands of camels kneeled on the ground and were connected by ropes to form a huge circle. Behind the camels was a city wall made of camel skins. Nailed to a huge log, it looks extremely solid. Although it is located in a valley in the Qilian Mountains, the mountains here are different from the mountains in the Central Plains and the south. From there they got so many logs.

Even with Wang Junlin’s knowledge, he was a little lost. This was the first time he had seen the camel city in front of him.

“Dear guest, this is our master’s other palace. It’s a bit crude, and it can’t compare with the prosperity and beauty of the Sui Dynasty. It makes the distinguished guests laugh, but this camel city is also somewhat useful in this barren land in the Western Regions. , it is wonderful to block wind and sand…”

The person who spoke to Wang Junlin was very handsome. Wang Junlin couldn’t tell what race he was, but he seemed to be of mixed race, but he was sure whether he was Han Chinese, or a big cannibal or a Persian, and even more so. Not Turks and Tuyuhun people. But this man’s official language in the Sui Dynasty was better than Wang Junlin’s. From time to time, he would quote the classics and think about the scenic spots in various places in the Sui Dynasty. Even Wang Junlin had only heard of some scenic spots for the first time.

Shoulders, or similar things, Wang Junlin once sat in a certain tourist attraction in Thailand in later generations, but he didn’t expect to sit here again.

He was sitting on it, carried by four beautiful girls, which was much more stable than the shoulders carried by Thai men in later generations. There is also a sense of pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the people in front of him, from their appearance, hair, and eye color, Wang Junlin suddenly thought of a legendary nation in the Western Regions—the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

The term “Zhaowu” was first seen in Zhaowu County, Zhangye County, where “Geographic Records” in “Hanshu” belongs. The etymology of the word Zhaowu is that Kang, An, Cao, Shi, Mi, He, Huoxun, Wudi, and Shi are the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and Dong’an, Bi, Han, and Nasebo are attached to them. Divided into East, West and China.

According to the “Book of Sui”, the nine surnames of Zhaowu were originally from the Yue family. They used to live in Zhaowu City in the north of Qilian Mountains (now Linze, Gansu). Zhaowu is the surname. Residents are mainly engaged in agriculture, and also engage in animal husbandry. According to Chinese historical records, he originally lived in Zhaowu City in the north of the Qilian Mountains. He was beaten away by the Huns and moved westward to the Hezhong area of ​​Central Asia. The branches and commoners were divided into kings. He had nine surnames including Kang, An, Cao, Shi, Mi, Shi, He, and Mu. Zhaowu, so it is called the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

Wang Junlin remembered that the characteristics of the activities of the nine surnames of Zhaowu made them play an important role in the cultural exchange between the East and the West. Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Nestorianism, Central Asian music, dance, and calendar were introduced to the Central Plains, and Chinese silk and papermaking technology was introduced to the West. The nine surnames of Zhaowu are undoubtedly important media.

They also played a significant role in the development of the political, economic, and cultural life of the nomadic khanates around the Central Plains, especially bringing the Sogdian script into the Turkic, Uighur, and Tuyuhun ethnic groups. As far as its influence is concerned, the Uyghur, Mongolian, and Manchu scripts can all be traced back to the Sogdian alphabet.

However, after the nine surnames of Zhaowu were almost exterminated by the Huns during the Han Dynasty, their bloodlines began to be confused. There are all kinds of hair colors, and all kinds of eye colors. According to genetics, people of mixed race Most of them are handsome men and beautiful women, which is very consistent with what Wang Junlin sees right now.

But even though he guessed the identities of these people, Wang Junlin still couldn’t figure out why the other party invited him here in such a weird way.

The ground in Camel City has been compacted on purpose, it is quite flat, and there is no dust, let alone any weeds. This can be done in half an hour by one person with a road roller in later generations, but in this era, it takes thousands of people busy for several days to complete.

There was a tent in the middle of the camel city. Wang Junlin could swear that it was the biggest tent he had ever seen. All white yak leather is carefully sewn, covering an area of ​​two acres. This is already a tent palace.

Wang Junlin knows that even in this era, except for sheep, white yaks, white camels, white wolves, and even white horses, as long as they are white, they are very rare in the ethnic group and are extremely precious. And such a giant white tent needs at least 2,000 white yak skins to sew. This is obviously an alternative luxury.

The camel city just now surprised him, and the white yak tent in front of him surprised him again.

A camel caravan of more than 300 people was used to send him to death. Three thousand horse thieves captured him alone. Two stunning young women warmed their feet with their breasts. The tents made of thousands of white yak skins all show that the owner here is powerful in the Western Regions, not to mention very rich, enough to be rich enough to rival an enemy country. However, in the history that Wang Junlin knew, he had never heard that the nine surnames of Zhaowu had such power and wealth.

This huge white tent has four doors. Wang Junlin was carried to one of the tent doors. He didn’t notice it from a distance. When he got closer, he found nine brackets on the ground, which seemed to be tied with something. When he was about to take a closer look, the nine brackets suddenly stood up, and Wang Junlin couldn’t help but shrink his pupils after seeing the things on the nine brackets.

“Zhaowu has nine surnames, and nine corpses welcome guests!” Wang Junlin muttered to himself, but in his heart he secretly cursed that the owner must be a lunatic.

Wang Junlin has seen many corpses. In the war last year, he even saw with his own eyes the large corpse pit where tens of thousands of corpses were piled up. But the nine corpses in front of him are somewhat special.

These nine people had obviously been dead for a long time, and the flesh and blood on their bodies began to wither and rot. But someone put on a weird smile on purpose.
