Chapter 345 Business Travel, Pilgrimage, and Meeting
The news of Yuguse's army's defeat quickly spread across the grassland.

As the news spread, the news about the messenger of the God of Thunder in the Chumukun tribe also caused a stir on the grassland.

At first, not many people thought that a so-called messenger of the god of thunder was so powerful.

However, as caravans traveled across the grassland, stories about the gods and messengers of the Thunder Department gradually became known to people.

As early as before the Great Khan Yugushe arrived in Yanqi Kingdom, he had already predicted that Yugushe would be defeated this time!
Of course, not many people believed it, so much so that the shaman of the Chumukun tribe verified his identity.

But who could have thought that Tuotumu's cavalry was ambushed!
Maybe this was just an accident.

However, as Yugushe's 80,000-strong army was killed and forced to flee in a panic by the thousands of soldiers from Yanqi, and even Yugushe himself was taken unconscious to Tingzhou, everyone began to have an inexplicable respect for this unknown messenger of the god of thunder.

If once was an accident, could twice still be an accident?
Obviously not!

Of course, there were some stubborn people who kept saying that Yu Gushe still had 40,000 troops under his command in the Kingdom of Qiuci and in Zuohui City.

However, if an army of 80,000 failed to capture the Yuanqu City of Yanqi Kingdom, could an army of 40,000 capture the Zuohui City?
What's more, there are 20,000 elite troops of the Tang Dynasty within the territory of Yanqi!

The topic of God's messenger became more and more mysterious. Some people even traveled long distances to Chumukun's tribe for the sake of their faith, hoping to receive the blessing of God's messenger.

Located outside the Mukun tribe.

A team of more than a thousand people is slowly approaching.

If you look carefully, you can find that among these people there are Turks, Han people, and people from other countries.

But their direction is the same.

"Stop!"

A cavalry team of a hundred men blocked the way of Gu Xiao and others.

"Sir, we are here to do business with the Chumukun tribe."

"The light cavalry of the Chumukun tribe, great, we are finally going to the Chumukun tribe."

"Is the envoy of God in the tribe?"

"We want to see the messenger of God!"

"..."

The leading cavalry captain looked puzzled.

Except for Gu Xiao who stated that he was a businessman, the others looked a little crazy after seeing them.

As soon as he opens his mouth, he is a messenger of God!
Although the envoy of God has a noble status, it is not necessary for so many people to come and worship him, right?
"business man?"

"It's true."

Gu Xiao smiled and saluted, pointing to the people around him and said, "They can testify for us."

Hear the words.

Many Turks nodded.

If it weren't for Gu Xiao and others leading the way, it would not be an easy task for them to reach the Chumukun tribe smoothly.

Muduo nodded, and then looked at the Turks, "Are you all here to pay homage to the Lord Messenger of God?"

"Yes!"

"Where is the envoy of God? Take us to see him!"

"..."

Muduo rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you want to enter our tribe, you must go through our inspection..."

"I am Yehu of the Iwu tribe. Are you going to investigate me?"

"I am from the Shatuo tribe..."

Many people holding some official positions expressed strong dissatisfaction with Muduo's arrangements.

Muduo said in a deep voice: "During this period, many people have come to our Chumukun tribe, including those who came to pay homage to the Lord God's Messenger, and of course there are also defeated soldiers who escaped from the front line!"

"The leader has ordered that no defeated soldiers from the front line will be allowed to enter the tribe. If you are all here to worship the Lord God, you will naturally be allowed to enter."

"However, before entering the tribe, you must go through our inspection!"

"Let me remind you first, if there are people among the crowd who have escaped from the front line, it is best to leave in advance, otherwise I will not be polite!"

Muduo's words immediately aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.

The men of the grassland fought on the front line and now they have escaped back, but Shi Kebiyan actually won't allow them to enter the tribe?
"Why?"

"Even if some defeated soldiers escape back, we should accept them!"

"That's it."

"This is what the Lord God meant!"

As soon as these words came out.

The crowd quickly quieted down.

What the Lord God's Envoy meant must have his own considerations!

"Okay, except for the people in your caravan, everyone else follow me!"

Mu Duo waved his hand and decided to let Gu Xiao and other merchants pass.

This has puzzled many people.

"There are Han Chinese among them, aren't you afraid of spies?"

Gu Xiao’s face darkened.

He didn't expect that Muduo's special care would lead these people to stab him in the back!
If they hadn't led the way, would these people have been able to get here smoothly?
"What does the presence of spies have to do with you?"

Mu Duo sneered, "You are such a disgusting person. You followed him all the way and even got off his carriage, and now you want to bite him!"

"Someone, take this man out and chop him up."

"you dare……"

Gu Xiao felt a little puzzled.

Muduo's attitude was a little too friendly. He chopped the person who slandered them without saying a word.

Uh.

It can't be considered slander, right?

Gu Xiao just thought about it and felt that it didn’t matter. The most important thing was that they could enter the Chumukun tribe.

"Thank you, sir."

Gu smiled and bowed, then gave a wink to Tugou and the others. A group of people pushed the carriage and headed towards the Chumukun tribe.

As for the others, they were all taken away by Muduo for investigation. Compared to a caravan, deserters from the front line were their biggest concern.

after all.

These are poisonous people.

"Fine salt, iron pot, clay pot..."

Gu Xiao and others walked into the Chumukun tribe and started shouting one by one.

On the grassland, salt is always in short supply.

Hearing the shouts of Gu Xiao and others, many members of the Chumukun tribe came running over.

"How much is the fine salt?"

"Can you get a bigger casserole?"

"Is there a picture book of the Tang Dynasty? The colorful kind!"

"..."

More and more people gathered, and Gu Xiao acted perfectly as a qualified businessman, bargaining with the members of the Chumukun tribe one by one.

As for interrogation, that is unnecessary.

Do we need to check the people who are let in during the outer patrol?

While selling various things, Gu Xiao also continued to get close to these tribesmen and asked them about the messenger of God.

When they heard the word "God's messenger", many people's faces were immediately filled with awe.

From their expressions, Gu Xiao understood how Bai Lang was doing here.

"Tu Gou, you keep serving, I want to go pay my respects to the envoy of God."

"okay."

The dog butcher responded.

However, there were some enthusiastic tribesmen who pointed the way for Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao strode to the outside of the tent. After seeing Ayun and the others, he exchanged glances and saluted respectfully, "Respected Divine Envoy, I am Gu Xiao, a merchant from the Tang Dynasty, and I would like to request to see the Divine Envoy."

"Why do merchants from the Tang Dynasty want to see the divine messenger?"

"I have visited many shamans along the way, so that I can have a smooth and safe journey."

Gu Xiao explained respectfully, "As a businessman, I believe that every true god will bring me good luck."

"For this reason, I have specially prepared a piece of top-quality jade for you, Lord God's Envoy."

As he spoke, Gu Xiao took out the jade pendant that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and handed it to Ayun, "Please bless me, Lord God's Messenger."

Ayun held back his laughter, took the jade pendant and walked into the tent.

After a while.

Ah Yun came out, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "The Lord God's Messenger sees that you are sincere, so he allows you to go in and worship."

"Thank you, Lord God."

Gu Xiao stood up straight, and when he passed by Ayun, Ayun whispered, "Someone is following us."

Gu Xiao nodded slightly, lifted the door curtain and walked in.

"Respected God's Messenger..."

Gu Xiao grinned, "Long time no see, White Wolf."

Bai Lang raised the jade pendant in his hand and said with a smile: "You are amazing. You even prepared these things."

Gu Xiao: "I can't help it. If I want to build momentum for you, I have to be prepared. This thing cost me a lot of money."

Every time you pass by a tribe, you have to say hello and pay homage. Even if a jade pendant is cheap, the quantity should not be underestimated.

"I can just ask you to reimburse me when the time comes."

Bai Lang smiled and put away the jade pendant, then asked, "The previous message said that he was in Yiwu tribe, why did he take so long to get here?"

Gu Xiao explained: "During this period, I visited more than a dozen tribes, big and small."

"There are the Shatuo tribe, the Chuyue tribe, the Zhuonu tribe..."

"These tribes are large and small. There are members of the ten major tribes, as well as some small tribes with few people."

"Otherwise, how come so many people know about the existence of you, the messenger of the Thunder God?"

Bai Lang smiled and nodded, "People from the Chumukun tribe started coming three days ago."

"Shi Kebiyan was very happy to see these visitors from other tribes, especially those from small tribes or those with families. He took good care of them."

Whether a tribe can be strong or not does not only depend on the number of women in the tribe or whether they can give birth, but more on integration.

The ecological environment where big fish eat small fish is vividly reflected on the grassland.

People from tribes big and small are coming to continuously strengthen the strength of the Chumukun tribe. How could Shi Kebiyan not accept them?
Gu smiled and said, "There have been a lot of people following me these days, but I haven't sent any messages to you and the young master. Do you have any news about the young master?"

"Have."

Bai Lang said slowly, "Young Master sent me the latest news from Yanqi late yesterday evening."

"how?"

"Zuo Huicheng's 40,000 troops retreated to Tingzhou."

"The Kingdom of Yanqi was defended."

"That's right, but there is still a problem that we need to deal with."

White Wolf nodded, but his expression was unusually serious.

Gu Xiao said thoughtfully, "Is it about to begin?"

"Yes."

Bai Lang said softly, "The young master is here."

"How many people are you with?"

"Sun Qiang and his men followed. Apart from them, there are only a hundred elite soldiers led by Li Jingheng and Cheng Chumo."
