The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 86 A Lama Comes from the West
Just as Guan Yuan and Shen Lian were about to leave, another wave of knights came from a distance, menacing and extremely fast.

They had no choice but to bend down and wait and see what happened.

The wave of knights came straight to the camp and broke in through the gate of the camp.The leader didn't wait for the horse to stop, so he flew off his horse and rushed into the tent.The rest of the knights were waiting in the camp, but they did not dismount, ready to receive orders at any time before rushing out.

After a while, the leader stepped out of the big tent, got on his horse, Uri gave instructions on the horseback, and led his knights out of the camp.

After leaving the camp, the group of knights headed southeast, and then spread out in the distance, each going in one direction.

"What are these Mongolians calling?" Guan Yuan couldn't understand, so he asked Shen Lian in a low voice.

"It seems to be looking for someone, it seems that something is missing."

Guan Yuan didn't care, tugged on Shen Lian's sleeve, and planned to leave.

But this pulling, but not pulling, Shen Lian was still staring at the big tent.

"Brother, don't tell me, you want to be troublesome?" Guan Yuan's tone was a little unfriendly.

"Is the knight who went out to search just now looking for Ma Debiao?" Shen Lian said to himself.

Guan Yuan was taken aback, it was really possible.

"Even if they weren't looking for Ma Debiao, they all went southeast. We were walking back at this time, and we happened to be bumped into." Shen Lian was a bit of a rascal, but he was telling the truth.

Seeing that he would not be able to leave for a while, Guan Yuan simply lay back on his stomach.

"You've been staring at the big tent. What are you looking at? Is there something wrong?"

"The people in the big tent don't seem to be Mongolians. They are dressed strangely, but they look like some lamas."

Lamaism, Tibetan Buddhism, was, in this era, the popular belief of the Mongolian aristocracy.

The lower class people in Mongolia originally believed in the shamanism of Changshengtian, but since Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty came to the snow-worshiping area, Basiba, as the national teacher, this Tibetan Buddhism has spread among the Mongolian nobles.

The branch that spread in the Mongolian plateau is the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Because most monks wear yellow hats, it was also called the Yellow Sect by the Ming Dynasty people.

At this time, Batu Mengke, the Great Khan of the Tatar tribe, also believed in the Yellow Sect. The lamas in the big tent should be monks preaching in the Tatar tribe. Prestige.

"It doesn't matter if he is a lama or a mute, it has nothing to do with us."

"The lamas have a very high status in front of the Mongolian nobles. I heard that Batu Mengke obeyed them and usually let them participate in discussions and even divination on state affairs. These lamas must know a lot of secrets."

Shen Lian was unwilling to give up the opportunity to make contributions, but Guan Yuan said,

"I came out this time to rescue Ma Debiao. If you want to make other contributions, I will not get involved."

Seeing that his attitude was firm, Shen Lian could only do it himself.At this time, most of the people in the camp were taken away by the knight just now, and the remaining half also began to rest.

Guan Yuan was lying on the hill, and saw him bending over, lying low, approaching the camp lightly from the side.

When they reached the edge of the camp wall, they deliberately dug a small hole in the ground and got through the fence.

He sighed softly, this is really not something that knights in the rivers and lakes can do, which swordsman is willing to sneak into the camp without face.If it was Linghu Chong who came here instead, he might not have used his lightness kung fu while shouting "The thief looks at the sword" and flew high.

I saw Shen Lian bypassing the patrolling guards, sneaking into the vicinity of the big tent, and gently sticking to the corner, listening to the movement inside.

After a while, he sneaked back again, and before he reached Guan Yuan's side, he saw an unconcealable joy on his face.

"There's news about Ma Debiao." Shen Lian was a little excited.

"Ok?"

Then Shen Lian talked about the news he had just heard.

It turned out that the group of lamas were indeed the Yellow Sect monks next to the Great Khan Batu Mengke. Shen Lian really mentioned Ma Debiao when he heard a few people chatting.

It turned out that four months ago, Ma Debiao sneaked into the Tatar tribe and met a group of herders near the Chahar tribe.They seemed to have dug up some treasure from the ground and offered it to the Great Khan.

With a second thought, Ma Debiao sneaked into the tent at night, stole the things, and killed several herdsmen.It's a pity that two herdsmen ran away on horseback and exposed their identities.

The escaped herdsman went back and summoned his tribe, and was about to hunt down and kill the Daming man. Ma Debiao fled privately. It should be at this time that he sent a letter to Feige of Jinyiwei, asking for reinforcements.

The Great Khan Batu Mengke heard that the treasure to be dedicated to him had been stolen by Ming Dynasty spies. He was furious and ordered his men to rush to the Chahar Department to hunt them down.

I have to admit that Ma Debiao is really powerful. He hid XZ on this grassland, and ran with his pursuers for more than a month, and finally disappeared.

The Mongols were also furious, losing such a big man in their own territory.

This time, Batumengke sent the lamas around him here, firstly to preach to the leader of the Chahar tribe, and secondly to give divination to the search team. Just now one of the lamas calculated that Daming’s spies were 100 miles to the southeast, so The group of knights left in a hurry.

"Superstition is bad, these people really believe that divination can find Ma Debiao?"

"But at least it shows that Ma Debiao is still alive and on this grassland." Shen Lian was a little excited.My mission this time is not a complete failure, and I still have a chance.

"Don't get excited, the situation is wrong."

At this moment, Guan Yuan patted Shen Lian on the shoulder, and pointed to the big tent.

I saw people coming and going around the tent suddenly, many people left the camp and scattered in all directions, but faintly surrounded the hill where the two were hiding.

The two of Guan Yuan were exposed.

Shen Lian was a little puzzled, he was obviously very careful, yet he was discovered.

The two of them rolled over and ran down the hill, about to escape.When this group first arrived, Shen Lian drove their horses away for fear of attracting attention.Originally, if he sneaked away and rode a horse after he was far away, there would be no problem.

But now how could his feet run faster than a four-legged horse, and he was surrounded by this group of Mongolians before he escaped very far.

There were not many Mongolians in this group, only more than 30 people. Guan Yuan stood up and planned to fight a bloody road, snatch their horses and escape.

Just as Guan Yuan was about to make a move, he stepped forward from the crowd with a few monks wearing yellow hats, who were the lamas of the Yellow Sect that Shen Lian had mentioned.

One of the monks was the oldest, and everyone around him respected him very much.This person is dark complexioned, not tall, and very thin.

Guan Yuan didn't look like he possessed martial arts, because he didn't see any traces of practicing internal strength from his breathing, and his temples didn't bulge, he just looked like an ordinary old monk.

At this moment, the old lama spoke in some broken Chinese,
"People of Ming Dynasty, you are the thieves who stole the treasure of the Great Khan!"
