Ninety-six, Lum Department
More than 30 herbs boiled a pot of miso soup, stewed on the fire day and night, Yao Xitong smelled the fragrance of miso soup when he was still at the entrance of the village. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he arrived at the duck seller's house, he was surprised to find that there were two pots of miso soup, one pot was old soup and the other pot looked fresh. The duck seller did not explain the difference between the miso soups, only that the flavors were different and the soup bases were different.
For a well-versed healer, the difference between the ingredients and the ingredients of the soup can be known by smelling them carefully.
First of all, the medicinal materials for the freshly boiled miso soup are not cheap at all, and ordinary people can't afford to eat the duck that comes out of this way; Secondly, the newly boiled miso soup has two fewer herbs than the original miso soup, and those two herbs are just not suitable for pregnant women.
If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, and the days in Zhongling County are really boring. After buying the sauce board duck, he sent someone to follow the master who made the sauce board duck to see where the newly made sauce plate duck would be sent!
By chance, he found Gao Wenyun's outer house.
The woman who came to Chen from other places to join her relatives was unfortunately taken by Gao Wenyu and forcibly taken away and raised outside the mansion. It is very duty for a woman to be helpless, only to think that Gao Wenyu is a bully in Chendi, never think about it much, and just ask Gao Wenyu about it outside.
The two lived next to Lord Chen's mansion, and it was typically dark under the lights. Xiao Huafang was afraid that if she wanted to break her head, she wouldn't be able to guess that the outer house she had been looking for was not far from the door.
Yao Xitong found Gao Wenyu's outer house, and learned that this outer house was pregnant, so good news would naturally be shared with Xiao Huafang. After that, you just have to be patient, and I believe that this beautiful county lord will personally direct a good scene.
Chen Di is in chaos, how can the other princes hold it?
Thinking of this, Yao Xitong's already calm mood became irritable again, why did he lose Xiao Bao'er! If Xiao Baoer had promised that day that he was willing to give up everything and go around with him, would things be different?
During this period, he always thought that Xiao Bao'er was leaving for Qingshanjun, and he didn't bother to care that the real motive for this person's departure was because of Qingshanjun's wedding, or something else. Zhu Zhigao even reminded him, saying that Xiao Bao'er left not because of Qingshanjun, but because of Wanyan Zhao.
If he calms down a little and follows this clue, he will soon understand what Xiao Bao'er and Wan Yanzhao are all about. But he didn't, and the fact that he lost to Xuan Ze again destroyed his sanity and his trust in Xiao Bao'er.
"Childe, childe," Uncle He shouted twice in succession before recalling Yao Xitong's thoughts. Facing Uncle He's worried eyes, in order to show that he was fine, he said to Uncle He, "Lord Chen's mansion is guarded by crows, you stay by my side to help take care of Yin Yao." The bigger the wolf cubs, the more dangerous they are, and I need your help. ”
"Childe, what do you think of this wolf?"
"Go out and find a few beasts, and if they don't, they'll lock them up with them. If you are tired from fighting, you will naturally be obedient! ”
"Childe, Yin Yao is a wolf cub, doing so will hurt it."
"There's only one way to it, to become the wolf king."
He Bo asked in surprise: "Wolf King?" Didn't you pick this wolf cub from the grassland to treat his leg injury? ”
Yao Xitong almost forgot that he hadn't told Uncle He about the White Sanctuary. can only explain: "I want to cultivate a wolf king, a lame wolf king, this should be a very interesting thing." ”
"The old slave will do it, I thought that the wolf cub was picked up by the princess."
"She's the kind of person who doesn't hurt the animal that might pick it up. The injured and the disabled don't look at it at all, animals are just tools in her heart, and if they can't be used, they will be discarded......"
Yao Xitong was stunned after speaking, and suddenly wanted to know what kind of person he was in Xiao Bao'er's heart. Over the past few months, the two have experienced countless things, big and small, and each has saved each other's lives.
Xiao Baoer regarded him as a friend, but he never trusted Xiao Baoer, a lifelong friend, and hid a lot of things. He just wanted to use Xiao Bao'er, and he never thought about how Xiao Bao'er would feel after learning the truth. He didn't care about Xiao Bao'er's feelings, he thought that such a stupid girl shouldn't have feelings, could things really be like this?
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia State, several tribes located on the Xia border formed an alliance to fight against the Great Xia, which was the prototype of the Liao State. With the continuous increase of the national strength of Great Xia, on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore, and Xia used troops against Liao.
Strange to say, Xia's strategy allowed the tribes that made up the Liao to unite like never before. Not only was it not wiped out, but it quickly grew into a powerful state that could confront Xia within a few decades.
After years of war, both countries were overwhelmed, and Xia and Liao agreed to stop fighting together and recuperate.
In that year, civil strife broke out in the Liao Kingdom, first with accusations that the national teacher was using witchcraft to confuse the monarch, and then two powerful tribes clashed over territory. The lord of the kingdom was overwhelmed by the court dispute, and his handling of the clan battle was slightly biased, which became the fuse for the betrayal of the allied clans.
A tribe located in the westernmost part of the Liao Kingdom betrayed the Liao king, and this was Xisu.
After Xisu became the country, many tribes betrayed the king of Liao one after another. More than a decade later, the Liao Kingdom fell apart, and the once great grassland country was forced to split into the current Northern Liao and Western Su.
The king of Northern Liao was a careerist who could fight well, and since he succeeded to the throne, many tribes that had defected to the Liao State were requisitioned.
On the other hand, Xisu was too deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and the imperial court had been changing the law, but it was hindered by the old forces, and the national strength was far less powerful than that of Northern Liao.
Northern Liao sent troops to attack Xisu, and Xisu sent envoys to sue for peace, and voluntarily sent the prince to Northern Liao as a hostage. The king of Northern Liao pretended to agree to Xisu's request, but privately took his own soldiers and pretended to be bandits to kill the prince of Xisu on the way to send the hostage, and used this as an excuse to tear up the agreement and send troops to Xisu again.
The idea of the king of Northern Liao was good, but he missed one thing, he didn't expect Xisu to not only send the prince, but also the emperor's favorite woman, and he didn't expect him to fall in love with that woman.
The fall of any dynasty is indispensable for mediocre emperors and beauties who bring disaster to the country and the people. The two are closely related, and it is difficult to tell whether the emperor is mediocre and drags down the beauty, or whether the beauty does have the ability to confuse the emperor and drag down the dynasty.
In any case, the king of Northern Liao accepted the "gift" of Xisu, fell in love with a woman who brought disaster to the country and the people, and stopped the attack on Xisu for her.
Xisu has already sent out a proton, why should he take a woman, or the emperor's favorite woman?
It's a long story, and we have to start with one of the most amazing tribes in the grassland, the Lumu tribe.
The Lum tribe, also known as the elves of Kebogra, has a total of more than a thousand people. They had no fixed pastures, did not belong to either the Western Su or the Northern Liao, and roamed the border between the two countries, often mixing with other tribes.
Why was such a small tribe able to be annexed at any time survive in the grasslands? Also known as the elves of Kebogra? In the grasslands, elves have a strong connection with good things.
The reason is simple, the Ministry of Lum pursues the diplomacy of marrying women.
Treat the enemy, I will marry my daughter to you, and let us turn hostility into friendship; Treat friends, I marry my daughter to you, so that we can be close and not separate from each other.
Over the years, the Lumu tribe has sprinkled their daughters like seeds among the tribes of the steppe, waiting for the seeds to sprout and blossom and bear fruit.
The women of the Lumu tribe have the same brains and wisdom as the men, and they use their talents to collect a steady stream of information and send it back to the tribe, making this small tribe of only a thousand people become diplomats on the steppe.
No one hates diplomats, because many seemingly unsolvable problems that can only be solved by resort to force are usually solved by diplomats with their mouths.
The Rembe were excellent diplomats, they had all sorts of information, and the daughters who had married off had always served as an important buffer and lubrication among the tribes. Any tribal dispute, as long as the Lumu Department is invited, a big problem can become a small problem.
The princess of the lord of Xisu came from the Lumu tribe, and she had two sons, two sons who were not very angry.
The eldest son has no interest in politics and is obsessed with spoiling his concubine. The youngest son has no opinions.
Northern Liao planned to attack Xisu, and in order to let her eldest son inherit the throne, this woman from the Lumu Department came up with a very shady plan based on the information in hand.
She sent her youngest son's sister-in-law, Wan Yanyu, to Beiliao as a proton, and at the same time sent away her eldest son's favorite concubine, a woman she thought could bring disaster to the country and the people.
Things went very smoothly, and the eldest son, who had lost his favor, finally put his mind on the succession to the throne, and was looking forward to the death of the lord of Xisu as soon as possible. A few years later, the lord of Xisu died of illness, and her eldest son inherited the throne, and she became the queen mother.
At the same time, the king of Northern Liao, as analyzed by the data, especially likes beautiful women who are soft and weak and have no brains, and within half a year, he established that concubine as the princess of Northern Liao under pressure.
During this period, there were many frictions between the Northern Liao and Xisu, and the powerful Northern Liao was defeated again and again, and there were rumors that there were spies in the palace who revealed the plan of each battle to Xisu.
The king of Northern Liao began to investigate the matter thoroughly and found that the spy was none other than the princess who was with him all day. He never shied away from the princess when discussing matters with his ministers, and this is how the most confidential news reached Xisu.
When asked why, he received even more surprising news. The princess actually had a child in Xisu, and the child's name was Yan Zhao and she was raised by the queen mother's side.
The Empress Dowager Xisu not only threatened the princess to provide information, but also asked her to treat Yan Yu well. and warned that how the princess treats Yan Yu, the queen mother will treat Yan Zhao.
The king of Northern Liao loves the princess very much, and he knows that he has made many stupid mistakes for her, but he is reluctant to abandon this woman. He imprisoned the princess in the palace and forbade her to have access to anyone, including their daughter Jeribour......
Xiao Baoer rode a horse and galloped on the official road, and there was a time when she hated riding horses and hated bumps. Until she was sent to Wu Zu, Wu Zu told her that in addition to the bumps in horseback, she could also enjoy the unrestrained feeling of flying.
She remembered Wu Zu's words and forced herself to fall in love with horseback riding, trying to forget that painful memory.
For several years, she thought she had forgotten why, but the news that Xuan Ze was going to marry Yan Zhao made the past come flooding out.
She was brought up by her mother, and she only has her mother's thick heart and kind face in her memory. She didn't remember her mother, and every time she asked the king of Northern Liao where her mother was, the king of Northern Liao always said that her mother was not in good health and asked her not to disturb her mother.
As she grew older, she wanted to see her mother more and more. The king of Northern Liao was so entangled that he had no choice but to take her to see his mother.
The mother concubine was very beautiful, and happily took her into her arms, touched her hair and said, "Is my Zhao'er as beautiful and lovely as you, why can you be blessed when you are born, but my Zhao'er has to suffer?" ”
She didn't know who Zhao'er was, and when she saw her mother crying, she could only reach out to help her mother wipe away her tears.
After that time, the king of Northern Liao would take her to see her mother every few days. But she was unhappy, because her mother was unhappy, she cried every time she saw her, and begged the king of Northern Liao to take Zhao'er back to Northern Liao in front of her.
In order to make her mother happy, she also asked the king of Northern Liao to take Zhao'er back.
The king of Northern Liao told her that Zhao'er was not a good person, and if Zhao'er arrived in Northern Liao, he would rob her of everything she had.
She asked her mother, Zhao'er can make her mother happy, her mother is happy, and her father is naturally happy, why can't she bring Zhao'er here?
Mom told her that there are many kinds of happiness, one kind of happiness is the joy of all, and another kind of happiness is based on the pain of others. The happiness that the mother wants is the pain of her father and her pain.
She remembered her mother's words and understood that her mother was not the same as she wanted. The mother concubine would rather that she and her father were unhappy, and she would also bring Zhao'er over.
After a few more days, she heard that her mother was locked up by her father, and there was not even a person around to serve her.
One day, she deceived her mother by pretending to be asleep, and sneaked into the bedroom where her mother was being held while she was napping. In my memory, the mother concubine was wearing a red dress, lying sickly on a wolf skin, beautiful like a painting.
She ran towards her mother in high spirits, wanting to ask her if she was feeling better, but she heard her mother say to herself: The queen mother's subordinates are really useful, and they deceived you so easily...... Bao'er, you are different from Zhao'er, you have the love of your father, but Zhao'er has nothing, mom is sorry for you!
Xiao Bao'er never dreamed that she would be kidnapped by her mother, let alone that her mother actually put a knife on her neck, walked out of the palace in a grand manner, asked for a fast horse and fled in the direction of Xisu.
The king of Northern Liao was not in the palace, and the guards chased her out, and she was used as a shield by her mother, and asked the guards to give up the attack again and again.
The horse was galloping, and she should have enjoyed her mother's gentle embrace, but she became a human shield, and was lifted and put down by the mother several times, and countless impacts made her cry in pain.
She hated her mother very much, hated this never-ending sense of turbulence, and the Zhao'er who made her mother ignore her life or death.
The guard tried to stop the concubine from the side again, but before the concubine could make a move, she pulled out the dagger inserted in the side of the saddle and plunged it into the concubine's body.
If the king of Northern Liao was present, this man might hesitate to save his wife or save his children.
Just as she was brought into Pudabala by Wan Yan Yu, the king of Northern Liao could have killed Wan Yan Yu, but the mother concubine who learned of this forced the king of Northern Liao to swear that he would treat Wan Yan Yu like his own son.
That incident broke her heart, and in her father's heart, she was far less important than her mother's concubine.
The king of Northern Liao was not there, but fortunately he was not there. The guards did not hesitate to choose to save her, and let the princess of Northern Liao fall from her horse and die.
