Chapter 481 Some trivial matters
Old Liu was originally very happy about his third disciple's return.

But when he saw the wife his apprentice brought back, he almost became depressed.

Qu Yang was sitting nearby and could understand the worry that Brother Liu felt.

Old Liu has traveled all over the country for many years and has seen all kinds of beauties from different ethnic groups, but in the end he still chose Mrs. Ouyang from his hometown.

why?
Because Lao Liu has seen too many cases of Han and foreign marriages, and they ended up losing everything and dying in a foreign land.

The two sides have different customs, habits, and diets. When they first met, they tolerated and appreciated each other because of the novelty. But as time went by, the novelty gradually faded, and what followed were the trivial and complicated contradictions in daily life, which was a mess and made people feel annoyed.

Look, the eldest disciple married his own junior sister, and the second disciple married someone from the same city.

Who would have thought that when it came to the third disciple, he would be given a foreigner.

"What kind of place is Yenisei? Brother Qu, have you heard of it?" Liu Zhengfeng looked at Qu Yang and asked.

Qu Yang shook his head awkwardly and said, "But this name sounds a bit like the Western Regions. Maybe Zang Hua will know it."

"Cang Hua is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, so he probably knows about it." Liu Zhengfeng nodded, then sighed heavily.

In the guest hall, Ou Zanghua entertained the three people and listened to their experiences along the way.

In the tenth year of Zhengde, Mi Weiyi left the capital for Xi'an. With the assistance of the Huashan Sect, the Huangzhuang store was quickly built. With the royal photos, the business quickly flourished.

So, according to the previous plan, Mi Weiyi handed over the Xi'an Huangzhuang store to Tu Biweng, and took Dan Qingsheng to explore the west.

Their original plan was to pass through Jiayuguan, enter Hami and then go to Turpan.

As a result, before arriving in Turpan, I heard that the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Turpan had deteriorated and they were in a standoff.

For their own safety, they chose to take a different route, bypassing Turpan to reach the Timurid Empire. However, they encountered sandstorms halfway through the journey, causing them to lose their way and end up in a completely unfamiliar country.
"Brother, actually, there is another reason why Valeria came back with me. Do you know Yenisei?"

"I know," Ou Zanghua poured a glass of wine for Mi Weiyi and said calmly, "To the north of Turpan, they should just be a tribal alliance."

"Senior Brother, do you know?" Mi Weiyi asked in surprise. They only knew the name of the area after they arrived there.

"Last year, Lord Wang Shouren defeated Turpan in the northwest and obtained a lot of intelligence from Turpan, including this area." Ou Zanghua has an excellent memory and can leave an impression in his mind with just a glance.

Combined with some ancient books I have read before, I can roughly know where this place is.

The geographical location is quite good. It is a branch of the Silk Road, connecting the Central Plains, India, U-Tsang and Mongolia.

"It's great that Senior Brother knows about this place!"

Mi Weiyi said expectantly, "Although the tribe that Valeria belongs to has been invaded from time to time by Turpan and Mongolia in the past, they have been able to barely survive by paying some money and property."

"However, in the past two years, the invasions of Turpan and Mongolia have become more frequent, and many tribes have been destroyed. They have no choice but to migrate to the north in the hope of finding a ray of hope, but Mongolia does not seem to intend to give up and has been pursuing them relentlessly."

"After Valeria learned that we came from the far East, a country that had fought Mongolia for a hundred years without being defeated, they were full of expectations. They earnestly hoped that we could put pressure on Mongolia to reduce their burden. For this reason, they are willing to offer their loyalty to Your Majesty." Ou Zanghua looked at his junior brother speechlessly. Is there a possibility that the suffering in the Yenisei region in the past two years was because the Ming Dynasty was accidentally injured when it flapped its wings?
Looking at Dan Qingsheng again, it was clear that he had not realized this either, and instead said cheerfully: "Sir Ou, if this succeeds, our Ming Dynasty will be able to expand its territory without spending a single soldier, which will be a great story for the ages!"

"Big Brother, what do you think?" Mi Weiyi looked at Ou Zanghua and asked.

"You shouldn't come to me. You should go to Governor Wang for this matter." Ou Zanghua sighed and said earnestly, "After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. You should understand this principle."

Dan Qingsheng was stunned when he heard this, and seemed a little slow. He asked, "Are we going to give up even the achievements of expanding our territory so easily?"

"This is not really an expansion of territory. At best, it is just some minor disputes in the northwest."

Ou Zanghua said seriously: "Because they are too far away, the imperial court cannot reach them. Only when the Ming Dynasty regains its glory like the Han and Tang Dynasties one day in the future, can we send an order to make the two small countries stop fighting. The current Ming Dynasty cannot do that."

"What if it's just an empty title?" Dan Qingsheng asked in a low voice.

"That would be even more meaningless, and it would also bring shame to the imperial court." Ou Zanghua smiled and shook his head.

Dan Qingsheng and Mi Weiyi both sighed. It was obvious that they had not expected that Ou Zanghua would refuse so readily.

Fortunately, Ou Zanghua still showed them a way, which was to go to the northwest to find Wang Shouren.

"Oh, right," Ou Zanghua suddenly remembered something and added, "When you go to see Governor Wang, don't forget to stop by and see your second brother. According to the time calculation, he should have a child."

"Okay!" Mi Weiyi adjusted his mentality and agreed happily. He hadn't seen his second senior brother for more than three years and he really missed him a little.

In the back hall, Aokiji led Ling'er and Shan'er to hide quietly behind the door, carefully spying on Valeria who was sitting not far away.

"Brother, is this the white foreign devil you mentioned?" Aokiji's face changed, and he didn't even have time to cover Oushan's mouth.

This childish voice was very abrupt in the somewhat deserted living room. Liu Qing glanced at it, and Qingzhi had to lower his head shyly, walked out, and said with a bow: "Qingzhi greets aunt, I just spoke without restraint, please forgive me."

Valeria blinked her eyes, a look of surprise blossomed on her face, and exclaimed: "Wow, what a pretty child! Your name is Aokiji, right? I'm very happy that you can call me aunt, which makes me feel very cordial. I have prepared some small toys of Yenisei for you, I hope you like them."

"Thank you, aunt. Aokiji is ashamed." Aokiji responded with some guilt.

"It's okay, I like you very much because you are a brave and sincere child." Valeria wanted to touch Aokiji's head, but she realized that the etiquette of the Central Plains people was different, so she smiled and put her hand down.

Liu Qing glanced at his son and said softly, "Qingzhi, take Ling'er and Shan'er to the library to study. Remember to be careful and don't catch a cold."

When Aokiji heard this, he immediately understood that the matter had been turned over. A happy smile broke out on his face. After responding, he happily retreated.

Ling'er and Shan'er, who were waiting outside, came over immediately, holding their brother's hands on the left and right, looking extremely nervous.

Aokiji smiled and comforted his two sisters, then took them to the library.

That was a room that Ou Zanghua specially built for them. In addition to various books, there were also slides and many small educational and entertaining facilities. It was the favorite place for the children in the family.
